Chapter 447 Second Brother, Who Did He Pick?
Madam Gu wiped her daughter's tears and smiled gently: "When the Crown Prince's wife comes to visit us, you must entertain her well. I will take care of the palace affairs. You just need to eat and drink at home. Do you understand?"
Gu Qianning was infected by her mother's calmness, and her emotions finally stabilized. She nodded: "I understand, I will listen to mother. I will entertain the guests at home and wait for mother to come back."
Mrs. Gu was satisfied: "This is my daughter."
She turned to look at Shen Wantang again: "Don't blame me, Princess. Ah Ning is a little childish sometimes. Have fun. I'll be back soon."
Shen Wantang said softly, "Madam, don't worry. Ah Ning and I are best friends."
Mrs. Gu liked her calmness very much. With Shen Wantang around, she felt much more at ease. She turned and went into the inner room, changed her clothes and came out again.
When she walked out, she saw Gu Qianhan still standing at the door and snorted coldly: "You, come with me into the palace!"
Gu Qianhan raised her eyes indifferently: "Didn't mother just say that it's inappropriate for an unmarried person to listen to those nonsense? I'm not married either."
Mrs. Gu lost her balance and nearly fell down!
She stared at Gu Qianhan in shock: "You are a man, why are you getting married?! Are you going to marry into someone's family and become a son-in-law?"
Gu Qianhan nodded: "It's not impossible."
"What nonsense! There is no reason for a man from the Gu family to marry into the family!"
Madam Gu thought he was deliberately irritating her, so she stopped arguing with him. She grabbed her son's arm with a cold face and walked out: "I'll go see your aunt, and you go see the prince. We must get to the bottom of this matter today! If they can't marry, they should have said so earlier. It's a waste of time for my daughter, and I think my daughter wants to get married!"
Gu Qianhan didn't want to see the prince: "Why did mother drag me to go? Father is at home, and elder brother is also at home. Didn't you say that father and brother are here for An Ning's affairs, and it's not my turn to make the decision? You can ask elder brother to accompany you to the palace. Elder brother is familiar with the prince."
Madam Gu sneered, "The eldest brother is like a father, and you are the second brother, who is also like a father. It is reasonable for you to ask about An Ning's marriage! There is no need for your eldest brother!"
Gu Qianhan: “…”
Well, old ginger still has its spiciest flavor.
Just go, he will try his best to restrain himself from killing the prince.
Gu Qianning should have been happy when she saw Gu Qianhan being dragged away in disgrace, but she really couldn't be happy at this moment.
She sat on the chair, looking stunned: "Ah Tang, tell me, what my second brother said couldn't be true? Has the palace already decided on the candidate for the Crown Princess?"
"I'm not the Crown Princess? How is that possible?"
"My cousin didn't even have a talented woman in the East Palace in order to wait for me to reach the age of marriage. He has always been devoted to me, so why would he suddenly change his mind?"
"My second brother must have lied to me so that I would give up and voluntarily marry to Jiangnan."
Shen Wantang felt that since Gu Qianhan said it, it must be true, and even if it wasn't true, he would make it true.
In the previous life, the prince "endured humiliation" and married Gu Qianning. After marriage, he treated Gu Qianning very coldly. Perhaps, he had already thought of many ways to change the crown princess, but Gu Rongchang was in a high position and had great power. Under his pressure, the prince had to compromise.
In this life, Gu Qianhan is now in power in the Gu family. It is naturally impossible for Gu Qianhan to put pressure on the prince and force him to marry Gu Qianning, so it is very likely that the prince changed the candidate for the Crown Princess.
"A Ning, your second brother must have really gotten some inside information. He probably already knows who the Crown Princess has chosen."
Although the truth was a bit cruel, Shen Wantang still chose to tell the truth, otherwise Gu Qianning would only be hurt more seriously.
Gu Qianning turned her head and looked at her, tears falling down her cheeks: "But, I have always thought that I would marry my cousin since I was a child. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. He is even in my dreams. I have always regarded him as my husband. Am I wrong?"
Shen Wantang stepped forward and hugged her: "It's not your fault. I don't blame you. If you want to blame someone, blame... it's because power is too tempting!"
Gu Qianning was not stupid either. She cried and asked, "My cousin is afraid that I will interfere in state affairs after becoming his Crown Princess, right? My aunt would interfere in state affairs, so the emperor doesn't like her. He likes Concubine Yu, who has no power or influence in her family."
Shen Wantang wiped her tears and said, "Then do you think that if you become the Crown Princess, will you interfere in government affairs?"
Gu Qianning was stunned and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Shen Wantang knew the answer without her needing to answer, and she also knew the outcome of her meddling in government affairs. She said softly, "An Ning, have you ever thought that it would be a good thing for you not to marry into the palace? You would live a more relaxed and comfortable life. If you marry into the East Palace, you would be in a dilemma, just like the current queen."
Gu Qianning lowered her head: "I know that marrying into the Eastern Palace will be a little difficult, but I think that it is always a good thing to have me mediate. My father and brother love me, and my cousin loves me. For my sake, they will not make things too difficult for each other, and life will be much safer."
Shen Wantang sighed: "A Ning, you think too simply."
Both parties may indeed love her and care about her, but they will not give up any power for her.
When the conflict escalates to an irreconcilable point, she will become the biggest victim of the marriage.
When it was dark, Mrs. Gu came back with Gu Qianhan.
Seeing her serious expression, Shen Wantang knew that the result would be bad. It would be inappropriate for her to sit in on the discussion, so she stood up and said goodbye.
After seeing Shen Wantang off, Gu Qianning hurriedly asked, "Mother, what happened? Did the Crown Prince really choose someone else to be the Crown Princess?"
Mrs. Gu was silent.
Gu Qianning hurriedly shook her arm: "Mother, please say something!"
"A Ning, as long as the Crown Prince has not married, the Crown Princess has not been chosen!"
Madam Gu said coldly, "The Queen will also ask the Emperor for an explanation. Everyone in the capital knows that you are the designated Crown Princess. It won't be easy for them to change their mind!"
Gu Qianning's heart suddenly cooled, and her voice trembled: "So, it's true that my cousin wants to marry someone else. How could he...is he willing? Did the emperor force him?"
Gu Qianhan's cold voice sounded: "Xiao Qingxuan picked the person himself. Do you think he is willing?"
"Second brother, who did he pick?"
"you do not know."
"Who did he pick?!"
"I picked Yu Baoshu, the niece of Yu Zhien, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Yu Baoshu? Is there a girl named Yu Baoshu in the capital?"
"The original choice was Yu Baolian, the daughter of Yu Shilang. Unfortunately, Yu Baolian used scar removal cream, which caused her eyebrows and hair to turn completely white, and her face was also covered with white spots. She couldn't bear this change and hanged herself, so the candidate was changed to Yu Baoshu."
Gu Qianning felt her head buzzing, she could barely stand: "Yu Baolian? I know Yu Baolian, but hasn't she been dead for quite some time? Could it be that the prince has already decided on Yu Baolian? Then what am I? What am I waiting for him to marry me for?!"
