Chapter 180: The Queen Mother's Relatives Who Want to Become the Queen (9)
"Your Majesty, your words are true. Since I have chosen you as my queen, I will never go back on my word."
Gao Shaofu stuffed the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand into Gu Shutang's hand.
He thought his wife, who was a foregone conclusion, was unwilling to become his queen, or even have anything to do with him.
His face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists so tightly that he almost scratched his hands.
He didn't want to hear Gu Shutang's rejection again, and he also wanted to give both of them time to calm down. If they stayed any longer, he didn't know what crazy things he would do.
He left her yard in a hurry, as if he was fleeing in a panic.
Seeing that everyone had left, Gu Shutang threw the imperial edict that was forced into her hand casually on the table and laughed unexpectedly.
This made Musk Moon, who was unaware of the truth, quite nervous. She looked at the imperial edict on the table.
Thinking that the secret guards around His Majesty were much gentler to her today than last time, and no longer controlled her violently, but politely invited her aside and brought some cakes to treat her, Musk Moon swallowed a mouthful of water.
Could it be that the decree for her princess to be crowned queen has come down?
But why is her princess not happy, but instead looks indifferent?
Musk Moon didn't dare to ask, nor did she dare to look over Gu Shutang to see the imperial edict. She swallowed all the questions in her mind and focused on serving her.
Almost half a month had passed since their unpleasant parting, and Gao Shaofu had never set foot in her villa again. However, Gu Shutang accidentally discovered two little tails hiding in her yard one night.
Gu Shutang was familiar with the man in the lead. He was the head of the secret guards beside Gao Shaofu. Every night after the lights in her room were turned off, he would send a pigeon to deliver a letter, as if he was reporting her daily life to his master.
Those two little tails were harmless to her, they were just monitoring her. Gu Shutang was too lazy to alert them. At certain times, their existence was not a bad thing for her.
She had lived in the villa for more than half a month, and her complexion had improved. The nanny sent by the empress dowager was very pleased, and she began to urge her in various ways to meet the man on the list and choose him as soon as possible.
Gu Shutang saw the uneasy figure on the tree in the yard, and agreed in a good mood. She even changed into a beautiful dress and got on the carriage.
As a secret guard, An Yi had excellent hearing. Even though Gu Shutang and the nanny were talking in the corridor some distance away from the courtyard, he could hear it clearly.
He made the decision immediately and did not wait for the pigeon to deliver the letter in the evening. Instead, he rode a fast horse to the capital to report to the emperor in person, leaving a female secret guard to protect Gu Shutang.
This time, Gu Shutang was going to an imperial estate under the name of Princess Leyang. Princess Leyang was the daughter of the late emperor. She was raised by the current empress dowager for a period of time and had a good relationship with the empress dowager. She would go to the palace to pay homage to her stepmother every now and then.
Gu Shutang was very familiar with Princess Leyang, and since the Queen Mother was not in a position to leave the palace, she entrusted the flower viewing banquet to Princess Leyang.
Princess Leyang invited all the young men from aristocratic families listed in the Empress Dowager's book, as well as the young ladies from official families who had a good reputation in the capital.
After all, in addition to Gu Shutang, who is still waiting to be married, there are many men and women in the royal family who are of marriageable age. This flower-viewing banquet is also a blind date banquet in disguise.
On the way to the imperial farm, Gu Shutang met two unexpected people. The heroine of the plane, Chang Yingxiu, was standing awkwardly beside a carriage with its wheels stuck in the mud, and next to her was Ji Huahan, the eunuch leader of the East Factory, who was riding back to Beijing on horseback.
Not knowing what Ji Huahan said, Chang Yingxiu blushed and lowered her head, then nodded shyly. Ji Huahan carried her onto the horse and took her back to Beijing.
Gu Shutang curled his lips and smiled. The progress was really fast. The two of them had already developed feelings for each other. It would not be long before they would have a mutual understanding.
At that time, Chang Yingxiu's identity as the daughter of the late crown prince was about to come to light, and the biggest problem between them was the gap in their identities.
If that conceited man hadn't gotten in the way, the difference in status would have been just a minor hardship in their relationship, rather than an insurmountable gap.
The bastard thought that it was a disgrace to the royal family for a royal lady to be with a man who had once pretended to be a eunuch, and he found various ways to torment Ji Huahan.
He forgot all his previous admiration and respect for Ji Huahan, and was determined to break them up, and the big knife in his hand fell directly on his former confidant.
After Gu Shutang entered Princess Leyang's imperial estate, he was led to Princess Leyang by servants. There was a person standing behind Princess Leyang.
He was wearing a navy blue robe and had a graceful demeanor. He showed no fear at all when talking to Princess Leyang.
"Jiaping, come here to your cousin."
Le Yang had been raised by the Queen Mother for several years and treated her as her own mother, so naturally she also called Gu Shutang her cousin.
"cousin."
Gu Shutang bowed and sat opposite Princess Leyang.
Princess Leyang rested her chin on her hand, looking at her graceful little cousin opposite her and the elegant young man next to her. She felt satisfied and thought that she was about to make a good marriage.
If her husband's family only had one son, the prince consort, she would have brought Jiaping back to her husband's family to be sisters-in-law.
"This is the eldest son of Marquis Linyuan—Zhang Lianghan. Young Master Zhang is about the same age as my cousin, and likes tending to flowers just like my cousin. I'm sure my cousin would get along well with him."
Princess Leyang introduced the man next to her to Gu Shutang, and Zhang Lianghan also bowed to Gu Shutang.
Princess Leyang picked a few topics, and seeing that the two were interacting with each other and the atmosphere was harmonious, she found an excuse to leave the garden, leaving them alone.
When Gao Shaofu came in, he saw Gu Shutang and a strange man standing next to a pot of peonies and talking.
There was anger on his face, and he remembered that when he came in, his sister Princess Leyang winked at him, covered her voice and giggled, saying that she had found a good marriage for Jiaping.
Absolutely ridiculous!
He is the only one who can choose Atang's marriage.
He looked at the two people who seemed like a perfect couple, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
In the past half month, he has been suppressing the impulse in his heart, not going to other villages to find her, not annoying her, and giving him and her time to calm down.
Every night when he tossed and turned, he dreamed of her figure, the encounter he had with her in Yuzhang Palace that day.
But today he received a message from An Yi that she was going to meet him at a banquet in Leyang, so he hurriedly put down the work at hand and rushed over.
What he saw was her being with someone else, and Gao Shaofu's heart was bleeding.
He did not hold back his aura and went straight in front of the two of them.
"His Majesty."
Zhang Lianghan was surprised and bowed politely.
Gao Shaofu didn't care about him, nor did he want him to stand next to Gu Shutang, making him look like an irrelevant outsider.
He pulled Gu Shutang away directly, regardless of her struggle, picked her up by the waist, and found an empty courtyard to put her down.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Gu Shutang dodged Gao Shaofu's head, which was deliberately approaching him, and moved a step to the side, unwilling to get close to him.
