After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Third Aunt Qiao clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand. She lowered her head and raised it again, tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were filled with resentment. She had finally taken over the housekeeping power a few years ago, but now she was going to give it up to someone else? She didn't want to do that. "Master..."

The Prime Minister spoke to mediate, "Mother, Aunt Qiao manages the household affairs in an orderly manner, and this is not something to be trifled with."

The old lady remained steady. She loudly questioned, "Do I still have a say in this family? You're condoning her making such a fuss. If word gets out and affects Xie'er, I'm afraid your plans for Xie'er will be ruined, too."

The Prime Minister's thinking did make sense. With Huang Xie'er and the Third Prince's wedding approaching, he couldn't afford to let anything go wrong. After careful consideration, he said, "I'll obey Mother."

The third concubine loosened the handkerchief in her hand, held it between her fingers, and glanced at the prime minister with a reproachful look, but the prime minister ignored her.

The old lady of the Xiangfu Mansion raised her lips slightly, and said in a more amiable tone, "Then I'll send all the account books to Concubine Yuan's room in a while. Do you hear me?"

Third Aunt Qiao gritted her teeth and replied, "I heard it, old lady."

Huang Jiuyuan watched the excitement and raised the corner of his mouth.

When Third Aunt Qiao left, she secretly glared at him, and he laughed.

The old lady smiled kindly and said, "You child... I really don't know what you will do when I'm gone."

Huang Jiuyuan hurriedly said, "Grandma, you can't say unlucky words. Pah, pah, pah."

When the old lady heard this, she laughed even louder and joined her grandson in laughing, "Pfft, pfft, pfft."

Then he smiled and said, "Where did you learn to be so superstitious?"

"Grandma, it's better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists."

The old lady's face was filled with worry. "Go and have fun. I have something to tell your Aunt Yuan."

It was only then that Huang Jiuyuan noticed the quiet Second Aunt behind him. He usually didn't pay much attention to this Second Aunt, and since she was dressed so simply, she could easily be confused with the servants in the mansion.

Huang Jiuyuan didn't care much and left in a leisurely manner. Thinking of the resentful look on Third Aunt Qiao's face just now, he felt very happy.

Next.

The marriage between the third prince and Huang Xie'er was put on the agenda.

Yesterday, she married into the Third Prince's mansion wearing a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe.

The rest of the people had smiles on their faces, except Huang Jiuyuan and the old lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, who couldn't smile at all.

As Huang Jiuyuan helped Huang Xie'er out of the house, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Huang Xie'er felt a chill on her hand, and through her red veil, she saw a teardrop fall on the back of her hand. She held Huang Jiuyuan's hand, but she was also worried. "Jiuyuan, you must be more obedient in the house in the future. Don't let your temper run wild anymore. I can protect you forever, but I can't protect you all the time. It's time for you to learn to grow up."

"Sister, today is a happy occasion, let's not talk about this."

These two marriages brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

Half a month had passed since the two weddings. During this half month, Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu had not left the house again.

Helan Xuenuo was waiting to recuperate because the princess of Mengnan Kingdom was coming to marry her soon.

The second autumn hunting is about to begin. In fact, this second autumn hunting is held to select a husband for the Princess of Mengnan. The emperor will grant the marriage on the spot.

In the previous life, Gu Yanli heroically saved the beauty and made Princess Mengnan fall in love with her. I wonder if he will do the same in this life?

If he really has such thoughts, it is not impossible.

As for the identity of Princess Mengnan, I am afraid that Gu Yanli will make Princess Mengnan the main wife at that time, and her rank will be the same as Shen Yinzhen.

She had overlooked this point.

Fortunately, the news of Princess Mengnan coming to marry was only heard recently, otherwise... Gu Yanli might not have chosen Shen Yinzhen as his concubine.

There is only one way now, and that is to let Gu Shicheng be the hero first.

She had heard about the story of a hero saving a beauty, but she only had a general idea of it. It should have happened on the outskirts of the capital, when a bandit jumped into the sedan chair of the Princess of Mengnan Kingdom and tried to abduct her. The second prince, Gu Yanli, happened to pass by and killed the bandit and rescued the princess, so the princess fell in love with her.

She remembered that it was Gu Shicheng who was responsible for protecting the princess when she entered the capital.

How come the second prince got there first?

It is estimated that the princess has a noble status and has never met Gu Shicheng, otherwise she would not fall in love with Gu Yanli at first sight.

Once a woman falls in love with a man, no matter how good the man in the world is, he cannot enter her heart.

Gu Yanli's appearance was definitely not a coincidence, it must have been designed by him, and Gu Shicheng must have known about this plan.

Otherwise, how could he let a few bandits turn the world upside down and even kidnap the princess?

In this life, Gu Shicheng and the second prince have not yet formed an alliance, or in other words, he has not yet been willing to become a slave for Qi Didi.

Then she could only plan a heroic rescue before entering Beijing.

Liancheng is one of the places we will pass through on the way to the marriage, so we might as well stay in Liancheng. We can even have a piece of sour jujube cake after finishing our business.

It was a great idea. She lay on the couch and pondered with satisfaction. All the plans were like a painting, unfolding in her mind. This time she was 90% sure.

In recent days, envoys from southern Mongolia have come to pay homage and proposed to send a princess to marry in order to consolidate the century-old diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The emperor originally wanted to refuse, believing that Donglai was a powerful country and did not need to consolidate diplomatic relations through marriage.

The envoy tactfully mentioned that if the princess married into the royal family, the Mengnan Kingdom would abide by the century-old diplomatic agreement and contribute to the stability of the Donglai Kingdom's border.

The emperor thought carefully about what the envoy said and accepted it.

But he couldn't decide which prince could marry the princess. He looked at the second prince and the third prince, but the third prince avoided his gaze.

Only the second prince had hope in his eyes.

He cast his eyes again at Ding'an Prince Gu Shicheng, wavering, and finally said, "Even if Emperor Mengnan is so willing, we can't just randomly choose one. It depends on the princess's wishes. There are many good men in our dynasty, so don't limit yourself to the princes. We can hold a hunting party and let the princess decide."

After hearing this, the Mengnan envoy felt very respected. The Emperor of Donglai allowed the princess to choose her own husband, which showed that he valued the princess very much. However, the princess had a noble status and could only marry a prince.

The emperor's eyes stopped at Gu Shicheng, "Prince Ding'an, you will be responsible for escorting the princess to the capital."

Envoy Mengnan's gaze shifted to Gu Shicheng. Gu Shicheng had an aura that was out of tune with his surroundings, and a sense of majesty that came naturally to him. He nodded with satisfaction.

Once the news of the princess of Mengnan Kingdom coming to marry a foreign prince was spread, the whole city was in an uproar. Everyone was wondering who would be lucky enough to marry the princess and what she looked like.

In the blink of an eye, the princess will arrive in the capital in two days and in Liancheng tomorrow.

Someone stayed up all night.

Helan Xuenuo took out the gentleman's bow and compared it left to right. He hadn't practiced it for many days, but he was not rusty at all.

I gave Xiao Yuanzhao some stunning bullets and bombs.

She asked Xiao Zhu to keep it a secret, as she needed to go do something important. Xiao Zhu frowned, not wanting to worry. "Miss, can you let Mu Kong go with you?"

Helan Xuenuo shook her head, her eyes firm, "This matter is confidential."

It is indeed more suitable to do this alone and easier to escape.

Xiao Zhu had no choice but to bid farewell to Helan Xuenuo.

Helan Xuenuo disguised herself and covered her face in black clothes. She rushed to the outskirts of Liancheng overnight, squatted on the road where the carriage had to go, and hid in the jungle.

She was waiting for the carriage to pass by, then throw a stunning bomb and shoot an arrow to drag the princess away. Gu Shicheng would definitely not fail to save her.

Then it would be natural to push the princess into his arms.

With Gu Shicheng's looks, any girl would be moved when they see him.
