princess come to my arms

Chapter 15 Unexpected Encounter

The work efficiency of the resolute West Factory is horrifying. In just two hours, things are leaking out.

Pu Ni hurried back to the palace with a few confessions in his handwriting, and came to Fengtian Hall.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has several confessions. Please have a look at them. After some interrogation, several adults have admitted that they were bribed."

"How unreasonable!" Emperor Li Jiayi was furious, and slapped the table vigorously. "It's against them!"

Putting down his eyes and lowering his eyebrows, Pu Ni retreated behind the curtain, and smiled without leaving a trace.

Everything is under their control.

"Come here, inform Mu Tong and Chang Shan, and let me check the old background of Li Wenlun and Zhao Xudong."

"Yes!"

**

Two days later, Li Jiayi received two secret letters from Mu Tong.The letter said: "Li Wenlun, the only son of Li Hongbo, the second assistant to the cabinet, lived in a brothel at the age of 13, dominated private houses at the age of 14, and robbed civilian women at the age of 15. He committed all kinds of corruption and bribery."

"Zhao Xudong, the grandson of General Zhao Yuanzheng, Marquis Hussar of Nanshan, married a concubine the year before last and conceived a son. After learning that he was expected to become His Majesty's son-in-law, he divorced his wife and abandoned his son, suspected of cheating on the marriage."

"How courageous! This kind of thing is also worthy of being the son-in-law of the royal family! Someone, arrest these two people! Put them in the sky prison!" Li Jiayi was furious, and clenched the paper in his hand into a ball.

The other candidates have already failed, and Li Jiayi has to admit that in the whole world, only Gu Ziyou is the most suitable candidate.

It's him over there. After hesitating for a long time, the emperor finally made a decision. Immediately, he wrote a decree for bestowing a marriage, and sent it to the princess's mansion quickly, and ordered the Tianjian of Taichang Temple to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac.

As soon as the emperor's decree of bestowing a marriage was conveyed from the palace, it caused a sensation all over the world. The final winner was the little-known Gu Ziyou, which few people would have expected.

In the princess mansion, there was a scene where the servants were more excited than the master. Gu Ziyou's three followers were so excited that they jumped three feet high when they heard the news.The royal son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly, soars to the top!But the two protagonists are calm, as if everything has been predicted.

Now that the matter of the son-in-law is a certainty, it is necessary to invite Yanping's parents early to complete the wedding.

"Gan Sui, you should hurry back to Yanping and hand over this letter to the master." Gu Ziyou wrote the letter in his own hand and sent it back to Yanping Mansion quickly.It's just that she's a little worried, but daddy knows he's going to get married, and will it be thunderous when he marries the princess?

Forget it, the words of explanation, let's talk face to face when he arrives in the capital!

Gu Ziyou had a little understanding of astronomical phenomena and the almanac, and after a little calculation, he knew the days that Sitian Jianji of the Jin Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor might choose.

The auspicious day of the zodiac that coincides with the horoscopes of her and the princess's birthday is on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, and the next one will wait until the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month of that year.

Li Jiayi definitely didn't want to get married in the middle of winter and cold moon, and it was absolutely impossible to delay it until the next year.

So the most likely day is the tenth day of May.

This idea coincides with Li Weixi's. Today is April [-]th, only ten days away from May [-]th.There are a lot of red tapes in the royal wedding, if you don't make preparations early, it may be too late.Or if there were some mistakes in the wedding, the two of them were very reluctant.

Therefore, Gu Ziyou and Li Weixi, who hadn't seen each other for many days, met in the Zangshu Pavilion of the Princess Mansion.The thoughts of the two were surprisingly consistent: the date has not yet been finalized, if you ask others, it may be embarrassing to spread the word.It's better to look through the classics and gain a lot.

After exchanging greetings at the door, the two intentionally split up.Li Weixi held up her skirt and walked towards the right door.Gu Ziyou started searching from the left.

For more than an hour, the two of them wandered around the Library Pavilion dizzily, but they still couldn't find the book they wanted.

After searching for a stick of incense, suddenly a book called "Royal Wedding Rituals" appeared in Gu Ziyou's sight.

Gu Ziyou's eyes lit up, this was exactly what she wanted.So she reached out and took hold of the top edge of the book.Just when she was about to take out the book, a pair of pale hands grabbed the bottom edge of the book.

Gu Ziyou was stunned, without stopping, the book slid out along the bookshelf, and his white hands were pulling on both sides of the book.

Gu Ziyou propped up his back and stared at the owner of the other hand.Suddenly, his face turned red, and he stammered and shouted: "Princess...His Royal Highness..."

She and Li Weixi took the same book.

Li Weixi just bent his eyes and smiled, with an unexpected surprise in his eyes.

"It turns out that Ziyu also took a fancy to this book."

"No, no, the princess got it first. The princess reads it first, and the minister will go to find others." Gu Ziyou naturally understands the status, how can she win the book with the princess?

Just when Gu Ziyou was about to turn back, Li Weixi said: "Don't look for it, you looked for it from the other side, and I tried to look for it from the other side, but it didn't work. This is the only suitable book. Let's watch together."

Similarly, the princess's invitation is still hard to refuse regardless of her status.Gu Ziyou could only silently follow behind the princess to the reading table.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Ziyou spotted another book in the princess's hand.

"By the way, I just saw this "The Gift of the Son-in-law" and brought it for you. It should be useful to you."

It turned out to be an act of kindness, and Gu Ziyou thanked Li Weixi for his thoughtfulness in his heart.She also slowly raised her hand and revealed the book in her hand.

"Thank you princess, I just happened to see a copy of "Princess's Gift" and took it with me."

The eyes of the two met again, and they both smiled softly.

On an afternoon full of broken sun, on a nanmu table that has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, two figures who are very close to each other are bathed in the sun.In front of him was an ancient book with yellowed pages, and the two read it in unison.The setting sun cast their shadows on the ground, making a mess.

Seeing the question, the four lips parted slightly, and they were whispering something.

"Can Prefect Gu and Mrs. Gu arrive in the capital before Na Cai?"

"They started their journey yesterday, so it should be fine."

"Is there enough money in the family? Is there any difficulty in the bride price?"

"Daddy is a clean and honest official, and has little savings. But the second brother should have some savings in business, and with some unique things in Yanping, he should be able to cope with face."

"That's a good feeling."

"The princess doesn't have to worry about the situation of the minister's family. Even if the family goes bankrupt this time, the dowry given by the emperor will be enough for ten Gu's houses. The minister is not worried." Gu Ziyou joked at the right time, which made Li Weixi smile constantly.

"Your wishful thinking is well done. In ancient and modern China and abroad, how many people think about the position of this son-in-law, the glory and wealth, the first rank, everything you expect."

"That's why the fraudulent marriage mentioned in the book is also understandable. How many people are greedy for profit because of the opportunity of success. But after all, this marriage contract was proposed by the princess, so Ziyou can also get rid of the suspicion of fraudulent marriage."

"Speaking of the contract, Bengong just remembered that there must be an addition to the agreement."

"What is it?"

"In front of people, the piano and the instrument sing harmoniously, and the feelings are harmonious."

"It's natural, the minister should fulfill it."

In the next hour, the two had an amazing tacit understanding, and they read through the entire book together, and they both knew what they knew.

As night fell, Si Tianjian of Taichang Temple selected several suitable wedding dates and handed them to the emperor.Emperor Li Jiayi had a look at it, compared it carefully, and finally set it on the tenth day of May.

This unprecedented grand wedding began in such a panic.

The Clan Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, the Princess Mansion, and the Qianqing Palace have been busy since they learned of the definite date.

The prefect Gu and Mrs. Gu, who were most caught off guard, traveled day and night after receiving the report from Kansui, and finally arrived in the capital early.If the Consort Mansion is to be built in Beijing, it will take a lot of effort, time and effort.But in terms of etiquette, Gu Ziyou absolutely cannot live in the Princess Mansion any longer.

So, she borrowed to Zunwang Mansion.Concubine Zun readily agreed, and King Zun naturally didn't dare to say more.

**

"Master, don't you seem very happy about why Ziyou got married?" On the way to Beijing, Mrs. Gu could clearly feel that Gu Xin's face was very unhappy, and some faint worries were always lingering around his brows.

"The royal family scrambles for power, and there are many people who are intriguing. I don't want Ziyou to be involved."

"But the imperial decree has been promulgated, and repenting of the marriage will destroy the nine clans!"

"The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to recover. Madam, go and call Ziyou, I have something to explain to her."

"Go here."

After being summoned, Gu Ziyou hurriedly put down his work and came to Gu Xin's room.

"Madam, go to Xuan'er first, I have something to talk to Ziyou alone."

"Okay, sir."

The door was closed, Gu Xin took three steps at a time, and dropped the bolt on the door, and then asked sharply and puzzled: "Ziyou, you are a woman! How can you be this son-in-law? If in the future To be discovered by the princess is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Father, listen to me." During this cross-examination, Gu Ziyou had expected that she didn't want to hide it from the only person besides Li Weixi who knew her identity as a woman.So she told Gu Xin the ins and outs of the whole thing in detail.

After listening, Gu Xin was silent for a while, and said again: "So, after a year, the princess will let you go home. Will she keep her promise? Don't break her promise and get fat?"

"The words in black and white have been marked, so it is impossible to deny it."

"Hey, that's the only way to go. I'm sorry for you, son." Gu Xin looked at Gu Ziyou with distressed eyes.

"Things in the world are unpredictable, and difficulties always come unexpectedly. But now Ziyou has learned to deal with it happily, which can be regarded as a growth." Gu Ziyou said with a smile, raising the corners of his mouth.

"Boy, you really have grown up. Father only wishes you a healthy life."

"Father, don't worry, the boy will take care of himself."

"Since this is the case, there is no turning back. Prepare well, and don't lose Gu's face."

"Kids, remember!"
