Gui Yunlai finally relieved his depressed mood with the persuasion of the two maids. After getting up and freshening up, he slowly drank the lotus seed soup.
"Landong, you told me last time you came here that your parents have arranged a marriage for you. He is your cousin, right?" Gui Yunlai let Lonicera wipe her mouth for her and then asked.
Ling Dong's face suddenly turned red, but he still nodded and replied generously: "Yes, Crown Princess, my slave's parents have informed you before. You were kind and generous and agreed to the marriage between my slave and my cousin."
"Then when do you plan to get married?" Gui Yunlai asked again, and then sighed, "The three of us grew up together. I married the prince early, and you have also been engaged. Time is really not forgiving. …”
"Prince Princess, you are still young, so there is no need to feel sad. Besides, even if I get engaged and married, I will still stay by your side to serve you." Lonicera said softly.
Lonicera is different from Du Xiang. Du Xiang was sold into Guijia by her parents when she was four or five years old. She was a slave with no roots in Guijia. However, Lonicera and Duxiang were all slaves in Guijia. After Guiyunlai got married, Her family came to Andinghou Mansion together as Gui Yunlai's companions and continued to serve Gui Yunlai.
"You are loyal, and I don't want to be separated from you and Du Xiang." Gui Yunlai smiled and said.
Then she asked Du Xiang casually: "Du Xiang, you are old enough, what do you think about your marriage? If you fall in love with someone, just tell me and I will make arrangements for you."
As Gui Yun spoke, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Shi Chu steadily. Although her expression was gentle and she seemed to care about Shi Chu very much, Shi Chu could see the temptation in her eyes.
Shichu lowered his eyes and answered according to the original owner's wishes: "Back to the Crown Prince, I have no idea about marriage and have never fallen in love with anyone. I have no intention of getting married in this life. I just want to be with the Crown Prince for the rest of my life." Beside the concubine."
It is impossible to last a lifetime. What Shichu said now is just to stabilize Guiyun. After all, who doesn't hope that his slave will only revolve around his master for the rest of his life?
Of course, as a kind and gentle master, Gui Yunlai could not be so ruthless, so she glared at Shi Chu angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? How can a good woman not get married? Your master has If you are not someone who treats your servants harshly, how can you bear to see you without a place in your life? Okay, okay, I will help you choose a good husband in the future, and don’t say those stupid words again."
At the beginning, I thought, you will indeed choose a husband for the original owner in the future, and share your husband with her very generously, but you are not willing to do so. In the end, you will have to completely destroy the poor woman who can't help herself before you give up.
If he had known that he would end up like that, the original owner might not have listened to his loyal master even if he fought to the death.
Gui Yunlai had a smile on his face, but he looked at Shi Chu carefully. He found that the original owner had a good appearance, with red lips and white teeth, a slim figure, and the pure beauty of a lotus. She was a pretty little beauty. Of course, if the original owner is not beautiful enough, she is not qualified to be the maid next to Gui Yunlai.
Gui Yunlai seemed to realize for the first time that his maid had a good appearance. If she was not a slave, but a lady, then the people who came to propose marriage would definitely cross the threshold.
Although Gui Yunlai relied heavily on Du Xiang in the past, he also felt that her temperament was too quiet and dull, and she was not as eloquent and lovable as Lonicera. Therefore, even though she was good-looking, she was not attractive.
But now she doesn't think so. Although she hasn't figured it out yet, Gui Yunlai keenly feels that Du Xiang seems to be different from before, as if a dull puppet has been injected with a living soul and becomes more alive. .
Gui Yunlai couldn't help but think of what Mrs. Anding Hou said after she called her there in the morning. The old lady scolded her for being jealous by nature and could not tolerate other women around her husband, but she could not give birth to the next generation of the Hou family for a long time. He said that she was not a qualified concubine, and asked her to make good preparations and choose a concubine for the prince that would be easy to give birth to.
Gui Yunlai originally planned to turn a deaf ear to his mother-in-law's words, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, when he saw Du Xiang, an idea suddenly came to his mind: If he had to find a concubine for his husband, then Why not find Du Xiang, who knows everything, has no one to rely on except himself, and is loyal to him?
Gui Yunlai thought a lot uncontrollably. He even considered the pros and cons of promoting Du Xiang to his concubine. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was the most suitable.
But after all, she still wanted to be with her husband for the rest of her life, so just after thinking about it, Gui Yunlai suppressed this idea in her heart. She also wanted to try to have a biological child with her husband.
Gui Yunlai had many thoughts in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged. She waved her hand to let Lonicera and Duxiang go down, and she began to practice calligraphy to calm down her mood. She had always been a strong and tolerant person, otherwise she would not have grown from a The daughter of a minor official, whose biological father did not care for her and whose stepmother did not love her, married the eldest son of the powerful Marquis Anding, so she did not panic and made an impulsive choice because of Mrs. Anding's accusation.
When it was getting dark, the eldest son Zhang Qishan finally came back from duty. Shi Chu took a look at the male protagonist and found that he was indeed tall, handsome and talented.
Of course, no one who can be the protagonist is ugly. It's just that this male protagonist, in addition to being affectionate and doting on his heroine, is as cold and ruthless to other women as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves.
It was obvious that he couldn't control Gu Zhanwang, but he blamed the original owner, and finally treated the original owner as a tool and tortured him. He was really a disgusting person.
Shichu suppressed the disgust in his heart and helped him change his clothes. He also helped lay out the dinner and prepare the meals for the two of them.
When Zhang Qishan saw Gui Yunlai, he was like a black bear seeing honey. They were so sticky that even Lonicera, who was used to seeing them every day, couldn't help but blush when he saw how they got along.
Lonicera and Duxiang went out to wait outside while they were eating. They didn't like outsiders watching when they were eating, so every time at this time, Duxiang and Lonicera could relax for a while.
"The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are so in love." Lonicera couldn't help but sigh, "It would be perfect if they had another child."
Shichu agreed nonchalantly: "Yes, it's possible, our master is really lucky."
"Du Xiang, have you really planned not to marry for the rest of your life?" Liandong remembered what he had said before, and asked curiously, "Don't you want to have someone you can rely on and have some lovely children? "
