The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed
Chapter 16 Everyone has their own agenda
When Gu Lingyue brought her people to the main hall, Gao Ming and Jinsuo Ma, who was beside Queen Shen, were waiting there with their people.
When they saw Gu Lingyue coming in, everyone bowed to her and said, "Your servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Princess."
"Everyone, please excuse your formalities." Gu Lingyue said apologetically, "I'm late. I hope the eunuch and nanny will forgive me."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Gao Ming kept smiling, and Nanny Jin also showed a hint of smile on her face, but her eyes glanced at Gu Lingyue imperceptibly.
The Princess of Jing was not the fool that people said she was. When she met the Princess of Jing today, she always had a decent smile on her face, which made her, who had been with the Queen for many years, a little confused.
When she came out just now, she heard that Prince Xing was punished by the Emperor. She thought that her Empress Dowager also knew the news. However, even with the Empress Dowager around, Prince Xing would probably suffer.
At this time, Gao Ming was heard saying, "I am here in the name of the Emperor to deliver the imperial edict and reward to the Empress."
After saying that, he took out the imperial edict, and Gu Lingyue and the people from Prince Jing's Mansion knelt down.
Gao Ming then began to recite, "By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor declares:
"Now, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, who is virtuous, talented, beautiful, and of good character, is hereby granted marriage to Prince Jing. By decree!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Gu Lingyue shouted, but in her heart she was thinking about what had just happened in Zizhuxuan.
If it is really as I thought, then I have invisibly brought trouble to myself.
Now she did regret being the Princess of Jing, but when she thought about it, it seemed that she really did not have the power to say "no", unless she ignored the original owner's mother and brother and ran away.
But she couldn't do such a thing of breaking her promise, otherwise, she would even despise herself.
After Gu Lingyue got up, Nanny Jinsuo also said with a smile: "This servant is also here to deliver a reward to the princess in the name of the queen."
At this time, Gao Ming and Jinsuo moved away at the same time, revealing loads of rewards behind them.
Gu Lingyue and others had already seen what was outside when they came in.
Although she knew that the emperor and the empress had rewarded her with many things, she did not expect so many.
Only now did she realize that what she heard was far less shocking than what she saw with her eyes.
Qiu Tong's eyes widened.
She could understand that the emperor rewarded her daughter, but why did the queen also reward her daughter?
The Queen is Prince Xing's mother. Could it be that Prince Xing is compensating her young lady?
However, no matter what, her young lady received a lot of rewards, and she was happy for her young lady.
Gu Lingyue felt a little melancholy instead.
She originally came here with the intention of becoming a widow. Now that Prince Jing might have woken up and the Emperor has given her so many rewards, it will be a problem for her to divorce him in the future.
But if she didn't divorce, she didn't want to be someone else's stepmother and compete with a bunch of concubines for men...
"Princess..." Qiu Tong called out softly when Gu Lingyue was lost in thought.
Now that the imperial decree has been issued, her young lady is the real Princess Jing, and she can no longer call her young lady "young lady" so as not to cause trouble for her young lady.
Gu Lingyue then expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
After she stood up, she was about to ask Qiu Tong to give the purses she had prepared to Gao Ming and the others when Wang An took out two purses from his arms and handed them to Gao Ming and Jinsuo respectively. "This is a little gift from our princess. Please accept it."
Hearing this, Gao Ming and Jin Suo smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."
"It should."
Gu Lingyue looked at Wang An, whose smile never faded, and thought to herself that no wonder he could be the steward of the palace. This was because he knew how to deal with things.
After Gao Ming and others left, Gu Lingyue asked Wang An to store these things in the room where she used to keep her dowry.
At dinner time, Gu Lingyue planned to eat her chicken husband.
So she asked Yunjin to bring the killed rooster to the yard where she lived. There was a small kitchen in her yard. Afraid that it would not be enough, she asked Yunjin to bring five more roosters and some seasonings.
The chicken had already been cleaned when it was brought over. Gu Lingyue added seasoning to it while saying, "Yunshu, go get some soil. Yunjin, go get some lotus leaves and wine."
"Yes."
After the two left, Qiu Tong watched Gu Lingyue busying around there, wondering when her young lady would learn to cook.
Gu Lingyue saw Qiu Tong staring at her in a daze and said with a smile, "Don't just stand there, massage these chickens like this."
She spread the seasoning on the chicken with her hands and began to demonstrate, and Qiu Tong quickly followed her example.
After Yunjin and Yunshu brought the soil and other things, Gu Lingyue put the massaged chicken there to marinate, and asked Yunshu to light a fire, while she began to fry the stuffing to put in the chicken's stomach.
After everything was ready, Gu Lingyue started to mix wine and mud, then put the stuffing into the chicken's belly, wrapped the chicken with lotus leaves, covered it with mud, and started to roast it.
When the beggar's chicken was roasted, they took it directly to the table in the pavilion.
When Gu Lingyue cracked the first chicken with a stone, a rich aroma wafted out immediately, making Qiu Tong and Yun Shu drool.
Gu Lingyue took a bite and nodded with satisfaction. It tasted just as she expected.
"You guys should try it too."
Yun Shu and Qiu Tong looked at each other, and finally the aroma of meat suppressed the idea of higher and lower classes.
The two of them immediately tore off a small piece with their hands and stuffed it into their mouths.
"Wow~ It's so delicious!" Qiu Tong said vaguely, "Princess, you are amazing."
Yun Shu nodded in agreement, then tore off another piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
When Gu Lingyue heard Qiu Tong call her Princess again, she did not refute.
She took two roasted beggar chickens from the ground and placed them in the basket that had been used to hold the soil. She smiled and said to Yun Shu, "Take these two to the housekeeper."
Yesterday she asked the housekeeper to borrow someone, and the housekeeper didn't even ask what they were doing and just took the person there himself. She was very grateful because he saved her some money today.
Although these two chickens are nothing, she made them herself and regarded them as a thank you gift to the housekeeper.
Yun Shu nodded, picked up the basket on the ground, glanced at the beggar's chicken of which she had only taken a few bites, and swallowed again.
Gu Lingyue said with a smile: "Don't worry, yours will be there, I'll leave one for you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the three clods of earth remaining on the ground.
Yun Shu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said happily, "Thank you, Princess. I'll be back soon."
Having said that, he ran out in a flash.
Gu Lingyue asked Yun Jin to crack open another one, and the three of them started eating.
She knew that everything she did in the palace was under surveillance, not to mention that she had the Yunjin sisters by her side.
Then there is Prince Jing. She doesn't know whether Prince Jing just woke up or was pretending to be unconscious, but she knows very well that she wants to settle her mother and brother down now, and then avenge the original owner and then divorce.
She didn't want to get involved in the royal struggle.
In their previous life, their ancient clan was just a small family and they fought each other to the death, let alone the royal family.
At this time, in the bedroom of Long Jun in Prince Xing's Mansion.
Long Jun lay on the bed with a pale face. The trousers he was wearing had been cut open by the imperial physician with scissors, revealing his torn buttocks. His trousers were covered in blood. This was because Empress Shen had sent someone to warn him about this, otherwise, he would definitely have lost half his life.
The imperial physician beside him was applying medicine to him. At this moment, Long Jun kept shouting, "It hurts... It hurts so much that it kills me... Can't you be gentler?"
When the imperial physician heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead. His movements were already very gentle, and now they were even more gentle.
Gu Youyan stood by, watching Long Jun sweating from the pain, and kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief. But at this time, Prince Long Xian was sitting on a chair beside her, looking at Prince Xing with a gloomy face, which made her dare not breathe and could only stand there and watch obediently.
Although Long Xian looks elegant, when he is really angry, even the reckless Long Jun is a little afraid of his royal brother.
At this time, Long Xian snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Now you feel the pain. When you disobeyed the order, did you ever think that this would be the result?"
When Long Jun heard this, he wanted to refute it, but he moved, causing the doctor's hand that was applying medicine to him to touch the wound directly, which made him take a deep breath, "hiss~"
"Prince, are you okay?" Seeing this, Gu Youyan hurried forward and asked with concern.
Long Xian was also worried about Long Jun's injury, but when he saw Gu Youyan coming forward, he felt a little unhappy. If it weren't for her, his royal brother would not have been punished by his father.
So, Long Xian said coldly: "You go out first, I want to talk to my brother alone."
Upon hearing this, Gu Youyan looked towards Long Jun and called out cautiously, "Prince..."
She wanted to stay here. Prince Xing was injured now, and it was the time for her to show her abilities. The Emperor did not allow her to have a child. If she did not hold Prince Xing's heart tightly, what would she have to do when he married a queen?
Long Xian's face became even uglier. This woman is a disaster.
Although Long Jun felt sorry for Gu Youyan, seeing that his royal brother was angry, he didn't want to let Gu Youyan stay here any longer.
So he said, "Yan'er, go back to Tingyuxuan first. You have to go back to your parents' home tomorrow. I can't accompany you in this state. I will ask the housekeeper to prepare some more gifts for you to take back to your parents' home tomorrow. I will accompany you back to your parents' home when I am better."
Although Gu Youyan was somewhat reluctant, she felt somewhat comforted when she saw that Prince Xing was still considering her even though he was in such a state.
"Then I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Gu Youyan looked at Long Jun with a worried look on her face before retreating.
Only after Gu Youyan left did Long Xian's expression ease.
At this time, the imperial physician also helped Long Jun treat his wounds, prescribed medicine, and left.
At this time, there were only two brothers left in the room. Thinking of what his royal brother had just said, Long Jun also realized his mistake. He was too hasty and did not think it through.
He relied on his father's favor and thought that even if his father was angry, he would only give him a minor punishment. He didn't expect that this time his father actually ordered someone to beat him with fifty sticks.
Just as he finished thinking this, he recalled how Gu Lingyue had pissed him off at the door of the Imperial Study, leaving him speechless. Finally, he stretched his neck and said stubbornly, "Anyway, I finally got rid of that idiot as I wished. Otherwise, if I had to look after that idiot for the rest of my life, I'd probably go crazy."
After hearing this, Long Xian's face darkened. "It's just a concubine position, why is it so serious? If you really don't like it, wait..."
He stopped here. Things had already come to this point and saying more would not help.
"Forget it, you should recuperate in the mansion during this time, and we can talk about the rest later." After saying that, he stood up and gave a few instructions to Qingshan, the guard who served Long Jun personally, and turned to leave.
Long Jun looked at his brother's back. He knew that his mother and brother wanted him to marry that idiot simply because they were attracted by the power behind her.
But Youyan is also the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The difference is that that idiot has a maternal family of the Marquis of Zhenbei. But the Marquis of Zhenbei has always been a royalist. Even if she doesn't marry that idiot, as long as his royal brother is still the prince, the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion will not be a threat to his royal brother.
