Gu family

Looking at the yellow imperial edict in his hand, Gu Yunfei seemed to be in a dream three days ago.

Is there no one to marry the emperor's daughter?

He is neither the top scholar this year nor a popular figure in front of the emperor, so how come he became a royal consort?

In the past few years, he showed his talent and wanted to gain a firm position in the court.

He also tried hard to show his face in front of Jiang Chuwei.

Try to make her look at yourself.

When he learned that her heart and eyes were filled with the prince, Gu Yunfei put his thoughts aside.

He cut off contact with Jiang Hai and did not take the opportunity to get close to Jiang Chuwei.

However, news about Jiang Chuwei always reached his ears.

When she set up a charity, he would donate some clothes and money to the charity, so he felt that he was doing the same thing as Jiang Chuwei.

Occasionally, he would see Jiang Chuwei from afar, and that would make him satisfied.

The servant looked at the master who looked like a fool, and said, "Master!"

I don’t know if the master has become stupid because of happiness, he has been in a daze these days.

Gu Yunfei calmed down and made up his mind. He said to the servant, "Prepare the horses!"

The servant hurriedly led the horse over.

Gu Yunfei immediately jumped on his horse and headed out of the city.

There is no sign that he was once a weak scholar.

In the grass and reeds deep in the mountains, a man in his forties wearing a green robe was sitting in front of a tea stove.

"You're here, sit down!"

It seemed as if he was waiting for Gu Yunfei, and there was no surprise on his face.

The calm tone calmed the restless Gu Yunfei.

The man poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gu Yunfei.

"Drink!"

Gu Yunfei picked up the teacup, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"It was that person's idea that you marry Princess Shang." Mr. Wu looked at him straight and didn't beat around the bush.

The stone in Gu Yunfei's heart became heavier.

Sure enough, what was supposed to come came.

Gu Yunfei wanted to slap himself a few times.

Why leave your hometown? What's so good about coming to Shangjing?

In the past, in order to get close to Jiang Chuwei, he tried every possible means to get to know Mr.

The gentleman helped him advance in his career and build his personal connections.

Now, he, a little scholar with no background, can reach the position of a fifth-rank official.

Others say he is lucky.

But in officialdom, no one can climb to his current position just by luck.

Gu Yunfei knew that sooner or later he would have to pay the price for the benefits he had gained.

However, he never dreamed that the price would be to become a royal consort.

Gu Yunfei sat down without saying a word.

Mr. Wu glanced at him.

A little surprised.

Gu Yunfei has become much more stable.

Gu Yunfei picked up the tea and took a sip silently.

He has no knowledge of tea and cannot tell whether the tea is good or bad.

When I was a child, I didn’t even have enough food to eat, so how could I have the leisure to drink tea?

He sat down, just wanting an explanation.

As far as he knew, the Prince of Xiang had no power and had always been an idle prince.

It seems that there is not much use in asking him to marry the princess.

Gu Yunfei sat quietly and didn't rush to ask.

There's no point asking. If Mr. Wu doesn't want to say it, he will never say it.

The two of them just sat quietly.

Finally, it was Mr. Wu who broke the silence.

"Princess Qingning is very good, you can rest assured to be her consort."

"Students are unwilling to drag innocent people into this."

Gu Yunfei knew that now that everything was a foregone conclusion, the imperial decree would not change overnight.

"The princess is a member of the royal family and cannot be considered innocent." Mr. Wu said slowly.

"She is just a woman." Gu Yunfei said.

"But she is the daughter of the King of Xiang, and the only person in Daqing who has been granted the title of princess despite the ancestral system."

Mr. Wu looked at Gu Yunfei with deep meaning in his eyes.

Gu Yunfei knew that this trip was in vain again.

He almost forgot that once he boarded this ship, he would lose the right to come and go freely.

"Is your mother's illness better?" Mr. Wu picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Okay..." Gu Yunfei's expression changed slightly, and soon returned to normal.

He stood up and bowed, saying, "Then I will go back and prepare, and move into the princess's mansion on the day of the wedding."

Mr. Wu opened his eyelids and looked at Gu Yunfei. "Then I congratulate you first."

Gu Yunfei bowed and took his leave.

He walked out of the hut with heavy steps.

The sky was gray.

It seems that things are going to change.

Gu Yunfei looked up at the sky, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that once he took this step, there would be no turning back.

Thinking about the days of youth and recklessness.

Just because you can write a few sarcastic poems, you think you are invincible.

He immediately fell into a pit set by others.

To be honest, Gu Yunfei doesn’t even know who is behind the teacher?

The last person he was allowed to get close to was Princess Yu.

This was also an order from Mr. Wu.

But they didn't expect that Gu Yunfei was sincere and could not be controlled by them at all.

There was no use using his only old mother.

He did not take down Jiang Chuwei as planned.

Gu Yunfei would not use despicable means on Jiang Chuwei.

Fortunately, the person behind the scenes did not use his mother to force him again.

After Jiang Chuwei expressed her disgust at his confession, Gu Yunfei disappeared from Jiang Chuwei's sight.

Those people just left him alone.

Over the years, no important tasks have been assigned to him.

However, although he seemed young and had no background, he was promoted faster than anyone else.

Gu Yunfei knew that sooner or later, they would find him.

Sure enough, they didn't let him go.

He didn't know what the purpose behind these people was.

Princess Qingning is just the daughter of an idle prince. In Gu Yunfei's opinion, there is nothing that can be exploited.

But this time, he had no way to retreat.

The emperor's decree has been issued, and even the Prince of Xiang dares not disobey it. It is a foregone conclusion that he will become the princess consort.

This marriage was destined to be a power transaction, and he was just a pawn in it.

After returning home, Gu Yunfei began to pack his things, and the emperor asked them to get married as soon as possible.

Prince Xiang said that he didn't need to prepare anything, all he had to do was go to the princess's mansion when the day came.

His mood was extremely heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on him.

The Prince of Xiang was also dissatisfied with this marriage.

Gu Yunfei even felt like he was packing up to marry into the family.

However, the prince consort's words sounded nice and he was indeed marrying into the wife's family.

While I was sorting out the clothes, my mother came in.

The mother was very happy to see that her son was finally getting married.

Although she didn’t marry a daughter-in-law like others, as long as her son lived well, Mother Gu was happier than anyone else.

In recent years, there have been wealthy families who wanted to marry their daughters to their sons, but the sons were stubborn and refused to marry or have children.

Fortunately, her son is now going to marry a princess, and she will soon have a grandson.

When Gu Yunfei saw his mother dragging her sick body to help him sort out his clothes, his eyes instantly turned red.

The mother touched her son's face and said, "Marriage is a happy event. You should be happy."

"Mother! Your son is not around, you must take your medicine and eat well."

Suddenly he felt that he was not a human being.

His mother worked hard to raise him, but now he just left him here without being able to fulfill his filial duties by her side.

His mother saw his difficulty and said, "Don't worry about me. There are so many people at home, and you don't have to worry about me. If you live a good life with the princess in the future, I will be very happy. You have to coax the princess and don't make her angry."

"Ok!"

Gu Yunfei didn't dare to look at his mother again.

If his mother knew that he was going to harm the princess, she would try her best to stop this marriage.

Gu Yunfei bit his lips tightly to prevent his mother from seeing his bloodshot eyes.

Although the days in the past were poor, at least there were no conspiracies or intrigues in that mountain.

He can be filial to his mother.

Now, his mother has become a handle for others to blackmail him.

I wonder what he will face in the future?
