After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Shen Junchen said with a joking smile, "This is the first time I've seen Gu Huaizhi be so gentle to a woman."

The three of them approached, and the two who were chatting happily looked up at the same time, a hint of shyness flashing across their faces.

Ye Qingyu didn't make things difficult for them, and considerately asked some irrelevant questions, "Sister Lu, how is the renovation of my mansion going?"

Lu Zhiyao didn't have the heart to watch it, so she just said perfunctorily, "It's pretty good."

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly, "That's good. It's almost noon. How about we go to Wanfu Restaurant for lunch?"

Lu Zhiyao shook her head. "I've been out of the house for quite some time. Mother must be worried."

Ye Qingyu didn't force it, "Okay, let's send Sister Lu back home first."

As they were talking, they arrived at the carriage.

After sending Lu Zhiyao back to Prime Minister Lu's residence, they did not go to Wanfu Restaurant, because they knew that Xu must be waiting anxiously.

Ye Qingya suggested returning to the Ye Mansion, and sent Qingya back to the mansion, and finally returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

As soon as we arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Xu came out. It seemed that she had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

Seeing them coming back, she pulled Gu Huaizhi over and asked nervously, "How is it? Does Zhiyao like you?"

Seeing his mother acting like he was worthless, Gu Huaizhi felt helpless and said, "Mother, isn't it inappropriate for you to ask your son this question? How do you want me to answer?"

Xu thought about it and asked, "So how do you feel about Zhiyao? How about marrying her?"

Gu Huaizhi blushed slightly at his mother's blunt words, "It's all up to you, mother."

Xu looked at her son's expression and immediately understood that he had taken a liking to her.

Seeing his mother's teasing smile, Gu Huaizhi stood up awkwardly, "I still have things to do at the government office, mother, I'll leave first."

Xu said loudly, "Mother will go to the Lu family tomorrow to arrange it for you."

Gu Huaizhi walked faster.

Ye Qingyu couldn't help laughing when she saw her third cousin running away.

Xu laughed and complained, "You little brat, you're even shy now."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "It seems that Sister Lu and Third Cousin are destined to be together. When she came back, Sister Lu told me that Third Cousin had saved her."

Xu's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? It seems like they have a strong connection. This is the first time I've seen him so shy. It seems like he really likes Zhiyao."

"Tomorrow I will go to the Lu family to finalize their marriage, so that there will be no more trouble. Please make sure nothing goes wrong."

Ye Qingyu thought of Chen Wanwan whom she met today. "Third aunt is right. It's better to settle down and feel at ease."

Xu did what she said and rushed to find the person who came to propose marriage, and even arranged the betrothal gifts.

Since it was a good thing that both parties were happy to see, Xu came with the matchmaker's betrothal gifts, and the Lu family happily accepted them. The two families exchanged engagement letters, and the marriage between Gu Huaizhi and Lu Zhiyao was settled.

All the families with young ladies waiting to get married felt sorry that a good husband had been snatched away by someone else. Not to mention how many young ladies cried so hard that their handkerchiefs were wet. When Chen Wanwan, who was locked up in the mansion, heard the news, she smashed all the things in the room.

The Gu family was happy because of the happy event, but the atmosphere in the palace was so depressing that it made people feel suffocated.

Emperor Jingyou was furious the night he returned. He not only scolded the fifth prince severely and made him kneel in the Taimiao, but also ordered Shen Yanli and the second prince to take over the case of the Luzhou prefect and try it overnight.

Shen Yanli and the second prince didn't even have time to return to their own mansion. His Majesty would not allow them to return home until the case was solved. They ate and slept in the palace until the case was solved.

As expected, someone deliberately framed Luzhou prefect Xie Bian and provoked him to kill himself by banging his head at the palace gate. They also incited the people in Luzhou to redress Xie Bian, which caused such a big incident.

After giving the information he had found out to the Second Prince and the Minister of Justice, Shen Yanli, who had not returned home for five days, was finally able to leave the palace and return to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.

During this period, Ye Qingyu and Shen Yanli's wedding date was set for March 18th next year.

When the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion received the news, Xu began to arrange Ye Qingyu's dowry.

One day, Ye Qingyu was accompanying Xu to shop when they heard the sound of galloping horses and someone shouting, "Battle report, battle report, victory report from the southwest border! The eldest prince led 50,000 troops and defeated 100,000 soldiers from South Vietnam!"

Ye Qingyu frowned as she watched the messenger riding his horse quickly towards the palace.

In the previous life, the First Prince's war with South Vietnam was supposed to be next year? Why was it brought forward?

Moreover, she remembered that Daqing and Nanyue had been fighting for three months, neither side able to do anything to the other, so they were forced to negotiate and agreed to send the princess to Nanyue for marriage. This led to the scandal between Princess Le'an and Cheng Huaifeng, and Princess Changning had to marry to Nanyue...

"Qingqing, what are you looking at?" Xu's voice brought Ye Qingyu back to her senses. She chuckled and said, "I didn't expect the eldest prince to be so powerful!"

Xu smiled and said, "You child, if the eldest prince was incapable, His Majesty would not have sent him to guard the southwest border."

Xu sighed, "Now that the eldest prince has accomplished such a great feat, he should be returning to Kyoto soon."

Ye Qingyu pursed her lips and nodded lightly.

But isn't it true? It's really time for the eldest prince to make this achievement. Shen Mingzheng and the fifth prince have been fighting fiercely. Now, the fifth prince is not governing the country well. Not only has he caused a loss of life, but he has also wronged a good official. If it is not handled properly, a civil uprising will occur in Luzhou, which will be a big deal.

Although Shen Mingxiu caused the Fifth Prince to suffer such a huge setback, he himself did not gain much benefit. His actions in Canghua Mountain caused dissatisfaction from Emperor Jingyou. Although he was not punished to kneel in the Taimiao to reflect like the Fifth Prince, and all the Fifth Prince's affairs were taken away, the fact that Emperor Jingyou gave the investigation of the case to Shen Yanli and the Second Prince instead of him showed His Majesty's attitude.

The enemy was injured by a thousand, and their own injuries were eight hundred. After the two fought to this point, neither of them gained much benefit.

At this time, the eldest prince not only returned to the court, but also returned with great achievements. Comparing them, the difference was immediately apparent.

Emperor Jingyou was overjoyed when he received this news. The courtiers in the imperial study laughed and said, "Boss, you've done well this time. I can finally put my mind at ease."

The Kingdom of Nanyue has always been a major threat to the southwestern border and has never given up coveting Daqing. Nanyue is a country with many mountains and swamps. There are many ferocious beasts and poisonous gases in the deep mountains. People cannot get out of such places once they enter, and it is impossible for people to live there. There are only some low valleys that are habitable, and there are too few places suitable for growing crops. Therefore, Nanyue has always coveted the thousands of miles of fertile plains in Daqing.
