MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 21
It was probably delayed all night last night, but early this morning, everyone had already packed up their things and bid farewell to Prince An.
When the seventh princess's carriage left, there were not many people in the village.
"Princess Jianing, please wait a moment." The voice of Prince An Guogong came from behind.
The carriage stopped, and Jiang Libai lifted a corner of the curtain, "Is there a result to what happened last night?"
Xu Songyan nodded, walked to the carriage, and said in a low voice: "...that woman is Zhou Yan's cousin. He originally planned to make that woman ruin the reputation of the son-in-law, but for some reason, in the end it was true that he and that woman The woman's spring breeze was once... After the incident broke out, Zhou Yan and the woman were taken back by the people of Anyang Bofu before the rain stopped last night..."
Jiang Libai's expression moved slightly, and he took a serious look at Xu Songyan. She didn't believe that Xu Songyan would not be able to find out how Gu Yun escaped from the danger according to the power of Duke Anguo's government, but he avoided the most important and ignored this point.
Xu Songyan is also a good person, and he guessed what Jiang Libai was thinking right away, and he whispered again: "This matter will not involve the son-in-law, princess, don't worry."
Jiang Libai smiled faintly: "In that case, I would like to thank the prince. This love, I will remember it."
After finishing speaking, she lowered the curtain and put away the smile on her face.
After the carriage drove out of Zhuangzi, she rubbed between her brows very uncomfortable.
Gu Yun moved closer to her, "Princess, what's the matter with you?" She heard what the Prince An Guo said just now.
In the interstellar time, the nobles of the empire also loved to engage in these convoluted intrigues for the power in their hands.
Now that the son of An Guogong is so flattering to the seventh princess, I don't know what he wants.
As soon as the familiar breath approached, Jiang Libai no longer hid aside in disgust as before, and she was still thinking about Xu Songyan in her mind.
She thought for a while, then raised her eyes to look at Gu Yun.
What Xu Songyan meant, she knew very well that he just wanted to make her owe a favor by saving Gu Yun.
This is what annoys her the most, and it's what she doesn't want to deal with the most.
But today, for Gu Yun, she can only accept Xu Songyan's favor.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Libai kept silent, with a sullen expression, which made Gu Yun a little worried.
Jiang Libai thought about it, but she still didn't mention these things to Gu Yun. After all, apart from the relationship between husband and wife on the surface, there is no relationship between them. And Gu Yun was involved because he became her consort.
"I'm fine." She was in a bad mood, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Gu Yun looked at her for a while, but didn't bother her again.
…
In the afternoon, the carriage finally entered the city gate.
The cries on both sides of the street woke up Jiang Libai, she lifted the curtain and looked outside, seeing that this was the way back to her house, she lowered the curtain again, and said to the wooden oars driving outside: "Let's go to Prince Jinping's mansion first. "
As the carriage entered another street, Gu Yun quietly said, "Will the princess go back with me?" After sharing the same bed last night, she only wanted to be with her wife, even though she knew it was almost impossible , but Gu Yun still has some expectations...
Jiang Libai didn't look at her, "Of course I want to go back to the Princess Mansion."
"Understood." Although a little disappointed, Gu Yun did not force it.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
The wooden paddle jumped out of the carriage and put the small wooden pedal on the ground, "Princess, consort, Prince Jinping's mansion has arrived."
Seeing that the Seventh Princess still had her eyes closed and seemed not to care about her, Gu Yun walked out of the carriage calmly, "I'm leaving, take care, Princess."
After the carriage shook slightly, Jiang Libai opened his eyes. Seeing that the seat that was originally occupied by a person was empty, she felt a little annoyed, so she simply closed her eyes again and let her mind go blank.
…
It has been two days since he returned to Beijing, and Jiang Libai always feels that something is wrong everywhere, he feels irritable when he sees everything, and nothing tastes good when he eats it.
She faintly felt that she was like this because of Gu Yun, but she didn't dare to think deeply, because
She was afraid that the result would be unacceptable to her...
Early this morning, Mu Paddle came to report that Chen Matchmaker had something to see, and Jiang Libai remembered that the matter of taking a concubine for Gu Yun had not yet been settled. She was in a complicated mood, but she still asked Mu Paddle to take her to the study first.
After tidying up, she met Matchmaker Chen in the study.
"Princess, there is something...the villain dare not report it..." Matchmaker Chen looked around, and she was very obedient and dared not say the next thing.
Jiang Libai waved the others away, leaving only Chunxi behind, "What's the matter?"
Matchmaker Chen hesitated for a while, and finally said through gritted teeth: "The concubine of Shaoqing's family in Dali Temple...she has her own heart, and she doesn't want to be the concubine of the concubine, but she couldn't resist Master Liu's request, so she hanged herself last night. It's..."
Jiang Libai was startled: "What?!"
Matchmaker Chen hurriedly said in detail: "Princess, don't worry, Miss Liu was rescued in time, and there is nothing serious about it. It's just..."
"Don't hesitate, what happened to Miss Liu?" Although Miss Liu was just a stranger to Jiang Libai, she hanged herself because she chose her as Gu Yun's concubine... If it was because of this , and let Miss Liu be disabled, then she is really guilty.
"Miss Liu was not injured, it's just that Mrs. Liu wanted to cling to the princess and the son-in-law, so she had already locked up Miss Liu and sent her here when a date was set... The Liu family kept this matter very tight, and the villain also because of I only know about it because I have acquaintances in the Liu residence."
"I don't know... I don't know if the princess still wants Miss Liu to be the concubine of the concubine? She already has someone else in her heart. If she is forced to be a concubine, it may damage the reputation of the concubine..."
Jiang Libai was relieved to hear that Miss Liu's family was fine, but what the Liu family did made her a little angry, and she stopped thinking about taking Miss Liu as a concubine.
"Since she has her own heart, then forget it. This palace and the son-in-law are not the ones who make things difficult for others."
When Matchmaker Chen came to report this matter, she knew that the Seventh Princess would most likely not choose Miss Liu again.
It's just a pity for Miss Liu's family.
"The villain knows, the villain will go to the Liu Mansion to spread the word."
After dismissing Matchmaker Chen, Jiang Libai waved towards Chunxi: "Go and investigate this matter carefully, and by the way, check whether the concubine of Yan Youcheng's family is willing to be a concubine."
In any case, Miss Liu was beaten by her family because of her choice, and the news that she was going to choose a concubine for Gu Yun was spread a few days ago, so now that Miss Liu is not chosen, I'm afraid it will damage her reputation. Not good.
Jiang Libai didn't want to embarrass her, so she thought that if it was suitable, she would ask her mother and concubine to marry Miss Liu and her sweetheart, fulfilling them and preventing Miss Liu from being coerced by the Liu family again.
In the afternoon, Chun Xi had already found out.
Walking into the pavilion, she looked at the Seventh Princess who was leaning on the seat, and said with a strange expression: "Princess...I'm afraid you can't propose a marriage proposal for Miss Liu..."
Jiang Libai opened her eyes, "Why?"
Chunxi looked around, walked up to her, and whispered in her ear, "Because...Miss Liu's sweetheart is a...woman."
