The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 113 The Embarrassment of Prince Qi's Mansion

Prince Qi's Mansion

In the study

"Changning is in Siyuan's courtyard. Siyuan is here to guide her. Brother Jingxuan doesn't need to worry too much."

Looking at Gu Jingxuan who was worried about his younger sister, Qi Tianchen comforted him.

Gu Jingxuan sighed softly and bowed to Qi Tianchen: "Thank you, Brother Tianchen, I'm sorry to bother you."

Princess Pingyang's wedding is approaching, and there are many things to prepare, but she also has to worry about Xuanxuan.

Thinking of the Pingyang County Princess's wedding, Gu Jingxuan couldn't help but look at Qi Tianchen.

After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Brother Tianchen, what about the county lady's marriage?"

Gu Jingxuan wanted to ask if there was any room for maneuver.

But she also knew that unless His Majesty revokes his order, Qi Siyuan would definitely marry into Prince Yu's mansion.

Besides, even if Your Majesty suddenly revokes your order, there is no final reason.

This may not be a good thing for Yu Qisiyuan.

Qi Tianchen's face was heavy: "Brother Jingxuan, you know that the Qi Mansion is different from the Fuguogong Mansion.

Prince Qi and the old Duke...are also different!"

The Prince Qi mentioned by Qi Tianchen is the father of Qi Tianchen and Qi Siyuan.

The noble status of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion was earned through the military merits of several generations.

The hereditary succession of Prince Qi's Mansion was only due to Qi Tianchen's father, Qi Baian.

He accidentally saved the life of Qian Yuzhen, now Emperor Qian Yao, who was an unpopular prince at the time.

Therefore, even Qi Baian was just a small captain of the imperial guards at the beginning.

He was also granted the title of Prince of a County as an exception, and enjoyed the hereditary title.

This also caused dissatisfaction and opposition among many people at the time, because Qianyao's title was not so easy to obtain.

Except for the princes and princesses of the royal family, all others were awarded titles due to military merit.

For example, Duke Fuguo and Duke Jingguo.

However, Qi Baian was seriously injured while saving Emperor Qianyao.

Although we tried our best to treat him later, his health was still not good.

In addition, he was weak by nature and stayed at home all year round and never went out.

However, Qi Tianchen, the prince of the Qi family, was determined not to enter the officialdom and to engage in business.

The legitimate daughter of the Qi family was granted the title of Princess Pingyang by the Emperor.

But she has always been low-key, never showing off when she goes out, and never flaunting her status as the legitimate daughter of a prince.

Therefore, even if people are jealous and think that the Prince of Qi's Mansion is not worthy of its position.

In recent years, no one has really brought up the issue of impeachment.

Today, the same is true for the granted marriages with the children of the royal family.

Gu Jingxuan could find Emperor Qianyao with a clear conscience and shirk his marriage with Princess Mingyu in disguise.

Qi Tianchen thought, even if that was the case, His Majesty had already issued an order to grant the marriage.

If the Fuguogong Mansion does not agree, Old Duke Gu can still exchange his military achievements and the glory of the mansion for Gu Jingxuan's lifelong happiness.

Of course, this is not only because the old Duke loves his grandson and is not afraid of imperial power.

What's more, the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion was loyal and devoted, and its extraordinary status was gained at the cost of the lives of dozens of Gu family soldiers over several generations.

This is true for the Duke's Mansion, and even the Jingguo Duke's Mansion at that time could not compare to it.

But the legitimate daughter of their Prince's Mansion was granted marriage by His Majesty without even asking for permission beforehand.

The imperial decree granting the marriage arrived at Prince Qi's mansion.

Their father did not hesitate to stop them. He used all the property of the Prince's Mansion to buy his younger sister's freedom.

My father never considered whether his daughter would be willing to marry into the Prince of Yu's Mansion.

He had never considered that doing so would tie the Prince of Qi's Mansion to the Prince of Yu, and whether it would get dragged into the royal family dispute and fall into an abyss.

He originally thought that his father had not objected to his resigning from office to go into business because he agreed that the Prince of Qi's Palace should remain neutral and not participate in party struggles.

Now it seems that my father is clearly a coward, incompetent and selfish person.

Naturally, I was also incompetent and could not protect my younger sister, and I also made her worry about me.

Their mother had passed away long ago, and the concubines in the Prince's Mansion all had their own thoughts.

He looked at his younger sister, who was worrying about her marriage, and watched her put on a forced smile to comfort herself.

Qi Tianchen had never felt as incompetent as he did now.

Fortunately, Princess Changning often comes to comfort my younger sister.

Qi Tianchen shook his head bitterly. After all, they could not escape their responsibilities.

I am, and so is my younger sister.

Gu Jingxuan, who was brave enough to choose his own path, was worthy of his admiration and made him sincerely envious.

Qi Tianchen looked at Gu Jingxuan and asked:

"Are you really going to the southwest tomorrow?"

Qi Tianchen raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Gu Jingxuan who was sitting across the table.

Gu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Qi Tianchen said: "Princess Mingyu has been confined to her room."

After Princess Mingyu returned to the palace that day, she immediately went to ask Emperor Qianyao for help.

Let Emperor Qianyao issue an edict to recruit Gu Jingxuan as his son-in-law.

Although Emperor Qianyao dotes on Princess Mingyu, he is grateful for loyal ministers and generals like the Gu family.

Naturally, it was impossible to grant the marriage without even asking, so nothing was done and the marriage was agreed to Princess Mingyu on the same day.

However, before Emperor Qianyao had the chance to ask Gu Jingxuan about his attitude.

Gu Jingxuan entered the palace first and asked Emperor Qianyao to leave Fengyao and garrison in the southwest border.

Emperor Qianyao naturally understood that this was probably just to avoid Princess Mingyu.

Although he was dissatisfied with the fact that Gu Jingxuan disliked the royal princess and was unwilling to take her as his consort.

However, it is impossible to blame Gu Jingxuan for this, after all, for Emperor Qianyao.

No matter how much he dotes on a princess, he would never offend the entire Prince Fuguo Mansion for the princess.

Therefore, Emperor Qian Yao approved Gu Jingxuan's request without even much consideration.

After all, she is the princess he has doted on for many years. How could Emperor Qianyao not know what kind of personality Princess Mingyu has?

So not long after Gu Jingxuan left, Emperor Qian Yao ordered Han Bing to investigate what had happened.

Han Bing came and went very quickly. Within a day, he reported everything that happened in the lobby of Yingsong Tower to Emperor Qianyao.

After all, there were quite a lot of people inside and outside Yingsong Tower at that time.

There were even many people who saw Princess Mingyu and Princess Mingnuo clashing over Commander Gu, and this was not the first time.

Later, Emperor Qianyao summoned Princess Mingyu again, but no one knew what they talked about.

I just heard that the eunuchs guarding outside the palace mentioned that Emperor Qianyao was very angry.

Even Concubine Zhou Lan, who hurried to Chengqian Palace to plead for Princess Mingyu, was of no avail.

Princess Mingyu was finally put under house arrest while crying.

Gu Jingxuan naturally also received the news, but he did not explain anything more about Princess Yu.

He just smiled and shook his head: "Brother Tianchen, you know that I am not interested in serving others."

As Gu Jingxuan's best friend, Qi Tianchen naturally understood.

Guarding the border and protecting the local people is Gu Jingxuan's lifelong wish.

It's okay, just like his parents.

Therefore, even if there is someone who knows the truth, let him persuade Gu Jingxuan.

Even if you want to stay away from Princess Mingyu, there is no need to go so far.

But Qi Tianchen had never thought of persuading her since he knew about this.

The so-called border is bitterly cold, the so-called mountains are high and the roads are long, the so-called battlefield is dangerous.

To Gu Jingxuan, it is nothing but poison to others and honey to me.

Qi Tianchen raised the teacup in his hand and said, "Okay, today I will use tea instead of wine. I wish Brother Jingxuan will be invincible in battle!"

A carefree, heroic smile appeared on Gu Jingxuan's face.

"Thank you, Brother Tianchen..."
