Chapter 191 I Never Do Anything I Regret
Gu Lingyue and Long Shang left the palace. On the way, Long Shang looked at Gu Lingyue with a face full of resentment, "Yue'er, you actually agreed to let those two women enter the palace. What if they want to harm you?"
Gu Lingyue looked at the dissatisfied Long Shang and laughed out loud, then said confidently: "Don't worry, it won't be long before I make them go away."
Then she told Long Shang what Emperor Tianqi had said to her, and told Long Shang her request.
When Long Shang heard that Gu Lingyue had asked his father for an oral order in advance to exempt him from punishment, he felt both touched and distressed.
He hugged Gu Lingyue tightly and whispered in her ear: "Silly girl, I will be with you from now on, and we will not be wronged."
He didn't want Gu Lingyue to be bullied because of him, he hoped she would always be carefree.
"Yeah." Gu Lingyue responded softly and leaned into Long Shang's arms and closed her eyes.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Long Shang frowned slightly and looked down at Gu Lingyue. Seeing that she had fallen asleep and was not woken up by the sudden stop, his frown relaxed.
The palace guard driving outside whispered to the carriage, "Master, the Prince of Western Shu is blocking the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Long Shang could say anything, Kou Dan's vicissitudes of life voice rang out from outside, "Prince Jing."
Long Shang lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked outside, only to see Kou Dan standing not far from the carriage. He was thin, his clothes were a little thin, and his face was tired.
He frowned and whispered, "I wonder what the prince wants to do by stopping my carriage?"
Kou Dan gave a bitter laugh, "How can I still be called the crown prince? I'm sure Prince Jing already knows that my fifth brother has succeeded to the throne..."
Long Shang didn't say anything, just looked at him indifferently through the corner of the carriage curtain.
Seeing this, Kou Dan knew that Long Shang was getting a little impatient.
Yes, these are your own business and have nothing to do with others. They will definitely not be patient to listen to them.
Sure enough, just as he finished his thought, he heard Long Shang say in a cold voice: "That is your business, it has nothing to do with me. I have something else to do, so please get out of the way, Prince Kou."
Kou Dan was not angry when he heard this, and he had no right to be angry now.
He had finally managed to get the people guarding him to agree to bring him to see Long Shang, so how could he give up so easily?
"Prince Jing, I have something to discuss with you. I hope you would do me the honor of talking to me in private."
Long Shang glanced down at Gu Lingyue in his arms, a stern look flashed across his brows, and he said in a cold tone: "This king has nothing to discuss with you."
"No, you must listen. I have something very important to discuss with you. If you don't see me, you will definitely regret it!" Kou Dan said anxiously.
Long Shang snorted coldly, "This king never does anything he regrets." After that, he ordered, "Return to the mansion."
Seeing the carriage pass him and continue forward, Kou Dan anxiously shouted, "Don't you want to know about your mother?"
The carriage did not stop. Long Shang in the carriage had a murderous look in his eyes: It seems that some people think they have lived too long, so let them die!
The carriage quickly returned to the palace gate, and Gu Lingyue opened her eyes.
In fact, she woke up when Kou Dan and Long Shang were talking, but it was none of her business and she didn't want to open her eyes.
When Long Shang lifted the curtain of the carriage, he found several carriages at the door. Gu Lingyue also recognized that those carriages belonged to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
She said excitedly: "It must be grandpa and the others, let's go in quickly."
She had just returned yesterday and had originally planned to visit her grandfather and others at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but she didn't expect them to actually come.
Long Shang looked at the person who had been very listless just now and was now very energetic. He smiled helplessly and carried the person down from the carriage.
The two of them came to the main hall of the palace, and sure enough, everyone from the Tang family who was in the capital had come.
"Let grandma see, our Yue'er has lost weight!" Old Madam Tang stretched out her hands and walked towards Gu Lingyue with heartache. Madam Tang Da and Madam Tang Er were also muttering about how Gu Lingyue had suffered at the border.
Gu Lingyue stepped forward and hugged Madam Tang, saying coquettishly, "Grandma, I missed you so much."
Tang Zhenhong also felt distressed, but he had followed Gu Lingyue all the way, so besides feeling distressed, he was more proud.
Not only are the men in his Tang family outstanding, but the daughters are also as capable as men!
Old Madam Tang and the other women pulled Gu Lingyue aside to ask her questions, while the men of the Tang family pulled Long Shang aside to chat.
Of course, the only men of the Tang family in Beijing are Tang Zhenhong and Tang Wenzhe, the fifth son of the Tang family. Tang Wenzhe is not talkative, so it is actually only Tang Zhenhong who pulls Long Shang aside to chat.
Originally, she planned to deliver the gifts to everyone in the Tang family after she got to the Tang family. Now that everyone in the Tang family had arrived, Gu Lingyue asked Wang An to bring up all the gifts she had prepared for the Tang family.
Everyone was surprised that Gu Lingyue would prepare gifts for them.
At this moment, Wang An came in with two visiting cards. "Princess, the Prince Yu's Mansion and the Princess Rong'an have each sent someone to deliver an invitation."
Isn't Princess Rong'an from Prince Yu's Mansion? Then why did she send two invitations? Gu Lingyue and everyone else were very confused.
"Send it over quickly!"
Wang An handed the post in his hand to Gu Lingyue.
Gu Lingyue took the posts, opened them one by one and read through them carefully.
It turned out that tomorrow was Long Yuxi's birthday, so Long Yuxi sent someone to deliver an invitation to her to attend her birthday party tomorrow. The Prince Yu's Mansion sent another one because they were afraid that if a little girl like Long Yuxi was the only one to deliver the invitation, Gu Lingyue and Long Shang would dislike and neglect her, so the Prince Si personally wrote another invitation and sent it together with Long Yuxi's.
"Please ask Uncle Wang to tell the people coming from Prince Yu's Mansion that I will definitely go there tomorrow." Gu Lingyue said.
Wang An immediately responded and retreated.
Everyone in the Tang family knew that Gu Lingyue and Long Yuxi were good friends, so it was not surprising that they came so late to deliver the invitation to Gu Lingyue. After all, Gu Lingyue had just returned to the capital yesterday.
"The Tang Mansion also received an invitation from Prince Yu's Mansion a few days ago. Princess Rong'an is a good girl. We've been back in Beijing for such a long time, and Wenqi and Wenle's marriage is still unsettled..." As she spoke, she looked at Madam Tang, "You can try to find out what the heir princess has to say. If it's possible, it's best not to miss out on such a good marriage."
"My daughter-in-law knows." Mrs. Tang said.
The main reason she returned to Beijing was to find wives for her two sons. Now the youngest son was engaged, leaving only the second son. However, she had already chosen a target, so she was just waiting to hear the girl's family's opinion. If the girl's family agreed, she would ask the matchmaker and the horoscope to arrange the engagement.
Seeing this, Old Madam Tang looked at Madam Tang Er again and said, "When the time comes, you should pay more attention and see if there are any suitable noble ladies to introduce to Wen Le. After all, he is not young anymore..."
"Yes, daughter-in-law understands."
Mrs. Tang Er had a lot of grievances in her heart.
Some time ago, she had her eyes on several daughters from official families, but when she told her husband about it, he rejected them one by one. She didn't know what kind of woman he wanted.
At this time, Wenxiu walked in and said with a smile: "Miss! The meal is ready."
Tang stood up and said, "Mom, Dad, let's eat first. I'm sure everyone is hungry."
She has been living in the palace since Gu Lingyue left. She originally planned to leave after her daughter and the prince returned. Now that Yue'er is pregnant and there are several other women in the palace, she is even more worried about leaving. So she has taken care of all the small matters in the palace for Gu Lingyue.
Long Shang didn't care about these matters of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. He even hoped that Tang would stay in the mansion to accompany Gu Lingyue.
After dinner, the Tang family stayed for a while before leaving with their gifts. Long Shang was called away by Wang An for something, Wei Yingying was accompanied by Gu Chenrui back to her own yard, and Tang and Wenxiu accompanied Gu Lingyue back to the house.
"If it doesn't work, let Qiu Tong come back and find someone else to serve your elder brother." Tang said as she saw Gu Lingyue had no one to serve her.
Thinking of Qiu Tong and her elder brother, Gu Lingyue smiled and shook her head, "Forget it. If I let someone else serve my elder brother, I think Qiu Tong would be anxious."
"You mean..." Tang hesitated, "Qiutong likes your elder brother?"
Wenxiu was also surprised. She didn't expect that the little girl would have such an idea.
"If my guess is correct." Gu Lingyue nodded with a smile.
"Qiutong is a girl. Will your father agree at that time?" Tang asked uncertainly. After all, Gu Chenxuan is not only the only son of the Gu family, but also the only heir.
Gu Lingyue said sarcastically, "How can he make such a decision? He has severed all ties with my eldest brother."
Hearing Gu Lingyue say this, Tang couldn't help but sigh.
How could she be so blind as to marry such a man? For his own benefit, he even severed ties with all his children. He is even more cruel than a wolf and a dog!
