It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

Chapter 234: The Ceremony of Consecration

Su Wanyu replied softly, "Your Majesty is of noble status. Since you are marrying into the family, you naturally cannot be careless. The three letters and six ceremonies must be completed, and the choice of an auspicious day must also be carefully considered."

If you want to get married, you have to do it in a grand manner and not be careless at all.

Hearing this, Gu Linjun raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled with confidence: "Of course I will say that."

Before Su Wanyu could continue, he pulled out a golden imperial edict from his bosom: "Last time when I mentioned this to Zhian, I asked him to draft this for me."

Su Wanyu was a little surprised when she saw this. She didn't expect that he had such a thorough plan.

I originally thought that his words about marrying into the wife's family were just a joke, but I never thought that it was his truest wish deep in his heart.

Back then, Su Wanyu resolutely severed her relationship with Zheng Chengyan. Although this made Zheng Chengyan lose face, the rumors surrounding her never stopped, as if it was a storm that would never subside...

Rumors were spreading like drizzle. Some people whispered about the princess who had divorced her husband. Even though she was a princess from a wealthy family, she could not escape the shackles of worldly prejudice. They believed that even though she was a princess, her marriage seemed to have lost balance forever because of a divorce letter, and it would be difficult for her to find a good husband.

In this vast country, a princess's path to choosing a husband should be as bright as the stars, and she should be free to choose. Why does she have to be obsessed with worldly views and be so stingy in her search for love?

After all, power, wealth, army and vast territory, all of these are firmly in her hands, enough to guarantee her a peaceful and worry-free life.

However, rumors are like invisible blades. Although they do not draw blood, they can be engraved in the heart. Regent Gu Linjun could not bear to see her suffer even the slightest harm, not even physical pain.

Therefore, Gu Linjun, as the only son of the Gu family and the powerful regent, decided to hold a grand marriage ceremony to crush all the criticisms about the princess' remarriage.

No matter what she had experienced in the Zheng family in the past, Princess Pingle's position in the court was always unshakable. Even the powerful regent had to bow to her wisdom and charm.

Facing Su Wanyu's question, Gu Linjun lowered his eyelids slightly, a gentle smile appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he told her his biological mother's last wish - to cut off the Gu family's descendants. If he could become the son-in-law of the Xia family, wouldn't it be just fulfilling his mother's wish?

The princess naturally wanted this very much.

As for the Gu family, it had long been on the decline. If it weren't for his support, how could they have achieved their current status?

If the Gu family had any complaints about this marriage, he had his own ways to make them lose everything they had.

He had already planned every move well in advance. Su Wanyu suddenly realized that she had already been included in his carefully planned "sea of ​​flowers". Every petal and every detail were the product of his careful consideration.

Hearing these words, the last trace of worry in Su Wanyu's heart disappeared, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she said cheerfully: "Then we will set an auspicious date as soon as possible and send the generous betrothal gifts to the palace."

Upon hearing this, Gu Linjun smiled even more brightly. The palace maids and guards around them tactfully withdrew quietly. In just a moment, only the two of them were left in the East Courtyard of the Princess's Mansion.

Gu Linjun gently pulled her wrist, walked through the osmanthus forest, and went deeper into the courtyard. He said softly, "Come, take a look at the canonization ceremony I prepared for you."

Su Wanyu gently lifted the hem of her skirt and followed behind with light steps.

At this moment when no one will disturb you, there is no need for red tape when getting along with Gu Linjun, just do what comes naturally.

At first, she was still a little hesitant, but as time went on, she gradually got used to this unrestrained way of getting along.

Gu Linjun led her forward in a quick pace. The sunlight penetrated the emerald green leaves, casting a golden light on the ground. Their sleeves fluttered in the wind, and they left laughter along the way, just like two innocent children exploring unknown secrets on a quiet afternoon.

Su Wanyu jogged, slightly out of breath, but full of joy. She looked up and saw a five-story tower suddenly appearing in front of her, piercing the sky as if it was about to touch the horizon.

Even in the prosperous capital, there is no palace or building that can compare with it. This tower is undoubtedly a unique wonder in the world.

Each floor of the tower is carved with lifelike peony patterns, which are exquisite and gorgeous, making people unforgettable at first sight.

Su Wanyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing the shock in her heart. This feeling was like when she first saw the vast ocean, the surging power of the waves directly hit her soul.

"When was this tower built?"

she couldn't help but ask.

The location of the tower is extremely clever, with lush green mountains behind it and green trees all around it. It avoids the hustle and bustle of the world while retaining the atmosphere of worldly life.

If you don't look for it deliberately, you may not be able to easily find its trace by looking from a distance.

Gu Linjun held her hand tightly and answered gently: "Since I learned that this would become the princess's residence, I immediately ordered the construction to begin. I worked day and night and finally finished it before you arrived."

"Let's go up and have a look."

As he spoke, he helped her into the tower.

What is surprising is that there is a unique spiral staircase installed in the tower. Just gently turn the shaft rope and the ladder will slowly rise by itself, without the need to climb hard.

Su Wanyu carefully sat on the spiral staircase and looked down. The ground beneath her feet seemed to be getting farther and farther away. She seemed to be floating above the clouds, and her body couldn't help but sway slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Linjun quickly hugged her arms and stabilized her body: "Don't be afraid, I have tested this elevator many times, it is absolutely safe and reliable."

Su Wanyu was not afraid, but was excited and smiled to show her gratitude.

Soon, the two successfully reached the top of the tower.

The top floor is sunny, and when you step onto the edge of the terrace, you can see almost the entire view of the capital.

Su Wanyu leaned against the railing, staring intently, deeply attracted by the scene before her.

"Standing here, you can experience the artistic conception of standing high and looking far, and everything is under control. From now on, even if you stay in the mansion, you can enjoy the scenery of the capital without going out."

Gu Linjun walked up to her and handed her a cylinder made of exquisite peach wood, "Try this."

As he spoke, he handed the cylinder to her and took out another one to demonstrate its use.

Su Wanyu temporarily put aside her identity as the mistress. At this moment, she was more like a curious girl, imitating Gu Linjun's movements and fiddling with the cylinder in her hand.

Gu Linjun gently grasped her hand and adjusted it to the correct observation position: "Try again."

Su Wanyu squinted one eye and looked into the distance through the cylinder. She was surprised to see the faces of the people walking on the street clearly.

"What is this?"

she couldn't help but ask.

Gu Linjun chuckled and said, "This is called a telescope."

"telescope?"

Su Wanyu looked curious and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this."
