Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 175: Marrying the Princess (8)

"Well……"

"Shh!"

Gu Xinyue put a finger to her lips, signaling Gu Yuxi not to speak. Liao Ruinian next to her was eavesdropping on the conspiracy of the two.

"Prince Meng, there will be a lantern parade on the lake in three days. Will you attend?"

"Princess, I am just a powerless hostage. It is not that convenient for me to enter and leave the palace."

"I can help you. You've been in Dongli for so long, don't you want to see the local customs and practices here?"

Gu Yuxi frowned. How could a hostage who had left his homeland have such a mood? Perhaps he wanted to overthrow this royal family and this country.

"Thank you very much, Princess."

After the two men left, Gu Xinyue asked, "I didn't expect that my cousin would have any connection with this unpopular proton?"

"Sister, is this weird?"

"It doesn't seem strange. I just don't know what kind of deal they just reached. How about we go and see how they sterilize cats?"

Liao Ruinian stopped him and said, "Ayue, this might not be a good idea, right?"

"Just go and take a look. I'm bored anyway."

Gu Yuxi was taken away. This was a royal secret: Concubine Yao, who was sent by Meng Heyun's uncle, had fallen in love with him halfway.

She was favored for a few days, but the pregnancy month was not right, and she was reluctant to have an abortion, while the child's father felt that the child could not be kept. In their words: this child will rob the parents of their life span, and cannot be kept.

The emperor now ignores state affairs and spends his time building ships and listening to music in the palace. Most of the state affairs are handled by eunuchs and imperial teachers, and some of them are even so bold as to control the government.

The national teacher is the protagonist's uncle. He has some ability to know the secrets of heaven, but Gu Yuxi thinks he is just average. After all, he is surrounded by a large number of Taoists.

The current situation is that Concubine Yao was poisoned and had a miscarriage at the flower banquet. Will they get into trouble by joining in the fun?

"Let's go quickly."

Thinking of her cheap aunt, Gu Yuxi decided to follow her. It would be too unfair if she was banished to the cold palace.

Several people followed quietly, only to see Meng Heyun flash into a yard. Liao Ruinian's eyes widened. The other party knew martial arts, but he didn't expect him to hide so deeply. Was he doing anything bad to Dongli?

"Ayue, we can't leave. The banquet is about to start. Let's go back."

"Boring, since you can't find anyone, let's go back."

"I'm going to make it easier, you go first."

Gu Xinyue took Gu Yuxi with her and met Li Qingcheng on the way. She was conspiring with a maid.

"Miss, this is not a good idea. If Gu Yuxi knew about this, she would go crazy."

"And that Gu Xinyue was also involved in the plot. The young lady from the Xiangfu was angry that she was engaged to Liao Ruinian, so she wanted to ruin her reputation today."

"Can……"

"Shut up and find a few more servants. If this is accomplished, the young lady from the Xiangfu will definitely benefit from us."

The slave retorted: "But we don't need any!"

"Prince Meng is in need, so just consider it as helping him. He is having a hard time in the palace right now and needs our help."

After Li Qingcheng left, Gu Yuxi looked at the person next to her who looked unhappy and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"

"Oh, what can happen to me? Is she still my cousin? At such a young age, she follows outsiders to plot against her own sisters. Good job. I want to see what she is up to."

"No, sister, let's use calmness to control movement, don't let ourselves be exposed!"

"Right! Don't be impatient. We sisters should work together to counter the opponent's moves."

The two sisters collected their thoughts and returned to the flower banquet, where a group of people were chatting animatedly.

There was a handsome young man standing next to a lady, with the temperament of a talented man. However, Gu Yuxi knew that this man was concerned about the heroine, so it was best if he could not see her.

After he saw Li Qingcheng coming, he could not take his eyes off her. He kept following her and then walked over.

"Princess Qingcheng, long time no see."

Seeing the newcomer, Li Qingcheng smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Wei, you are here too. Half a month ago, I heard from my brother that you went to Chengxing Academy."

"I went to Chengxing Academy, but I missed the friendship with Prince Li and the others, so I came back."

"Don't say that, or I might feel ashamed. That teacher is a great scholar in Dongli. You have already become his disciple. If you don't go..."

Wei Chenyang said excitedly: "Princess, do you care about me? Master said that I can study in Kyoto for half a year, and he will officially accept me as a disciple after I have stabilized my character."

Li Qingcheng immediately calmed down. It turned out that he was not a disciple of the great scholar. Why was he hanging around in front of her? However, Wei Chenyang was a fool with a lot of money, so it was harmless to build a good relationship with him.

"You are my brother's classmate and friend, so it's natural for me to care about you."

"Then... there will be a lantern parade on the lake in three days. Will the princess also participate?"

"Go ahead. I'll ask my brother to find you and go to the newly opened recipe building to make barbecue."

"How come I haven't heard of it? I will definitely go. You can invite more people to have fun together."

"Then it's settled."

The two men continued their conversation, and some more people came and gathered around them, starting to talk about some poetry and songs.

Princess Changning: "Mr. Wei is so tall now, is he married?"

"Your Highness, this boy only knows how to study and has never had any relatives in the family."

Thinking of the fact that Wei Chenyang had become a disciple of a great scholar, Princess Changning felt that Wei Chenyang was a capable person. He was a scholar and would not dare to bully Gu Yuxi in the future.

Looking at the lady in front of her, she smiled, took her hand and said, "Is that so? My son is not engaged yet, why don't you and I become in-laws?"

The woman's face changed and she stammered, "How about this..."

Gu Yuxi walked over quickly and said as she walked, "Mother, this is not allowed. If Young Master Wei already has someone in his heart, then you are just making a match for him."

"Is that my mother's fault? Your elder sister got engaged when she was eight years old, so it's time for you to get engaged too."

Gu Yuxi pulled Princess Changning's sleeve and said, "Mother, good things never come late. I'm still young, are you really thinking about marrying me off quickly?"

"Of course not. If you don't marry, you will be supported by the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion."

Some people said: "Princess, your awareness is really unique."

"This daughter won't get married, is she looking for a live-in son-in-law?"

"Princess Yuxi is really not someone that an ordinary family can afford. After all, she is smart and clever, while my son is stupid."

"Princess, is this against etiquette?"

"So what? My son is the smartest one. If we marry Yue'er off, we can find a place to drink and find a live-in son-in-law. After all, this mansion needs a caretaker."

Gu Yuxi looked at her adopted mother and wondered why her words were so nice. Only then did she realize that Wei Chenyang was surrounded by a group of people, and Li Qingcheng was also there. What a coincidence!
