After traveling to a country where women are king, I abandoned my husband and children
Chapter 62: The Edge Revealed
The palace was already abuzz with the noise and cheer, and the palace servants were working in various places wearing the same light green short-collared Hanfu.
——Nowadays, most people in Hengyang wear modern clothes, and the royal family is no exception. Only the palace maids wear Hanfu on weekdays.
Secretary Ma stood at the door to welcome the guests. When she saw Ge Fu, her expression paused slightly, then she smiled and walked up to her, shook her hand and said, "My princess, how are you? His Majesty mentioned you early in the morning and asked me to urge you to come early and not be late. I was just about to call, but I didn't expect you to come here."
She was telling the truth. After all, the princess had always been quite negative about these kinds of palace banquets. She was often late, and it was even more common for her to just show up for formalities when the banquet was almost over.
Who knew that this time would be an exception.
As she was thinking about this, she noticed who the princess seemed to be holding her arm with? !
Which minister did this person bring out?
Thinking of this, he looked over. Seeing the man's appearance clearly, her expression suddenly changed.
As the emperor's secretary, Secretary Ma's greatest advantage is her outstanding memory. In addition, most of Ge Fu's ministers had passed through her hands. Therefore, although she could not say that she knew them all by heart, it was impossible for her not to recognize them when they met.
She had definitely never seen this man before!
She had no time to marvel at the man's outstanding appearance. Her mind was filled with the words "The male companion brought by Princess Hengyang is not a minister."
what does this mean?
While asking this question in her heart, she politely welcomed Ge Fu in, and immediately dialed Xiao Yuan's number after turning around.
"Your Majesty, Princess Hengyang brought a strange man here!"
Then that night, everyone who had just walked into the banquet received the news at the first moment.
In fact, the upper echelons of Hengyang had discussed the marriage of Princess Hengyang a lot. Privately, everyone agreed that she should either marry a man that Xiao Yuan approved of, or she would only be an assistant minister without a legal husband for the rest of her life.
As for the possibility that she would find a man to marry, it disappeared before it even lasted three seconds in anyone's mind.
It’s not that they think Ge Fu doesn’t have the courage to disobey Xiao Yuan - in fact, there are not many people in the court and the country who truly regard Ge Fu as a coward. Most people think that Ge Fu is hiding his incompetence.
——After all, the blood of the Duke of Dingguo's family has a strong character. Even if Ge Fu is not an emotional master, she is not a coward. Just look at her behavior when she was fourteen years old, and you will know that she is not that kind of person.
Looking only at her own talents, no one would think that she was without pride.
But everyone thinks that it is hard to find a man who is willing to accompany Ge Fu to disobey Xiao Yuan. Perhaps men who are not in this circle will rashly get involved without knowing the truth, but once they figure out the situation... they don't think ordinary men can withstand such pressure.
By then, it was foreseeable that Ge Fu would be attacked from all sides.
But with Gofu's intelligence, she shouldn't do such a stupid thing.
But what is happening now?
Everyone raised this question in their minds at the same time.
However, today's banquet was held to welcome Prince Gran, so no matter how many doubts they had, they could only put them aside for now.
There were a few adults who had close ties with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion who came forward to test the waters. Ge Fu introduced him as her boyfriend and did not hide his identity as a Jinglong man at all.
As everyone looked at each other, they couldn't help but feel complicated.
Who would have thought that Ge Fu would find a Jinglong man.
The Grand Prince arrived at the right time. He was wearing a silver-gray suit, a hat, and holding a cane, looking like a typical Grand gentleman. When he arrived at the door of the banquet hall, he took off his hat and handed it to the palace servant along with the cane, and then walked in with a smile.
As the only prince, Xiao Chen stepped forward to shake hands and greet the other party. His English was not bad, although not very proficient, but there was no problem in communication. Moreover, the prince of Gran brought a translator with him, and some difficult-to-translate words could be translated by the translator.
To be honest, the Prince of Gran was not as unsightly as the servants of the Princess's Mansion had said. In fact, although his appearance could not compare with Lu Yao's, in the eyes of ordinary people, he could already be called a handsome guy, and with his temperament and cultivation from his birth, he was still quite attractive.
Even though Xiao Chen didn't have a good impression of him beforehand, after a conversation he felt that he was a very sincere person.
He came up and asked him to introduce him to Princess Hengyang. Facing his resistance, Prince Gran said frankly: "Don't be nervous. In fact, I haven't decided whether to propose to Princess Hengyang yet. Although marrying her does meet my needs and interests, I don't want a marriage based purely on interests. I hope to make a decision after meeting her."
"Haven't you seen my cousin?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "As far as I know, she has appeared in the media quite a few times." Xiangxiang has been secretly photographed by reporters since she was a child.
"That was in the past." Prince Grand said, "I have seen her photos from eight years ago. After that, the media took a lot of photos of her, but they were either blurry or only showed her from behind or from the side. It was difficult for me to make a judgement."
Xiao Chen remained noncommittal.
He actually didn't want to bring the Prince of Gran to see Ge Fu. Although what he said was sincere, in Xiao Chen's opinion, except for homosexuals like him, it would be difficult for men with normal sexual orientation to not have some thoughts when seeing Xiang Xiang.
But he also knew that even if he didn't do it, someone else would do it.
A meeting between the two sides is inevitable.
Because of this, he brought the Prince of Grand here.
However, before he even reached Ge Fu, Xiao Chen was stunned. He looked at Lu Yao and asked in a lost voice, "Where did you find this top-notch item?"
——He thought this was a shield that Gofu had found from somewhere.
Ge Fu was holding a glass of champagne and quietly introducing the ministers around to Lu Yao, as well as their relationship with the Princess's Mansion. Xiao Chen suddenly appeared, and noticing his burning gaze on Lu Yao, Ge Fu felt unhappy, and reached out to hold Lu Yao's arm, saying lightly: "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Lu Yao."
Her tone was extremely serious, and contained a hint of warning.
Xiao Chen paused and then looked up at Ge Fu.
Then he noticed that Gofu was also very different today.
He had never seen Xiangxiang so sharp.
No, I have seen it before. Before she was fourteen, the girl was so proud that she felt like the whole world belonged to her.
At that time, he actually hated her arrogance, but after so many years, seeing her confident and calm demeanor again, he couldn't help but want to cry.
