Chapter 370 A body of massive flesh, like a black-faced Asura
In fact, besides being angry that he hadn't seized the opportunity to ask for a marriage decree in the Imperial Study last time, Prince Jing was also upset about his mother's attitude that morning.
His morning visit to the palace to pay his respects also hinted at his desire to marry Gu Qingyue, hoping that his mother could find a way to change his father's mind.
As a result, Consort Liu scolded Gu Qingyue, saying that she was a country bumpkin who was not presentable, uneducated, and only knew how to seduce men with her looks, and had no airs of a noble lady.
Consort Liu had met Gu Qingyue at the palace banquet, so she knew that her mother's denigration of Gu Qingyue was completely unreasonable.
Therefore, he felt even more troubled and resentful.
Of course, Prince Jing would never know that the reason Consort Liu didn't have a good impression of Gu Qingyue was because of Lady Qin.
No one knows that Lady Liu was once in love with Gu Changling, but was later sent to the palace by the Liu family. What she was jealous of was Lady Qin, who got Gu Changling.
Qinxianglou is diagonally opposite Hetaifeng.
"Tell me, how did that King Li, who looks like a dark-faced demon, manage to marry the most beautiful woman in the capital?"
"Get lost, you haven't gotten married yet."
"Is there a difference? Both marriages have been arranged!"
"How do you know that King Li is a black-faced demon?"
"How could I not know! I heard he's tall and burly, all muscle, like a black-faced demon. He killed so many Nanzhao people in Lizhou, what else could he be but a monster? I also heard he eats people—" A man said in a low voice, whispering.
"puff--------".
In the private room, Zhang Qingxuan couldn't help but spit out his tea.
"Your Highness Prince Li, you are handsome and elegant, yet you are being slandered in such a disgraceful way. Aren't you angry?"
“Boring,” Mu Yun Chu said coldly, picking up her teacup.
"Speaking of which, are you really not angry?" Zhang Qingxuan smiled.
He put down his teacup and said mysteriously, "Look at Prince Ying and Prince Jing, they always look like gentle and refined young gentlemen wherever they go. They rank very high on the list of the top ten young gentlemen in the capital!"
So many women have cried and begged to marry them, some even saying they'd be willing to serve them tea and water for the rest of their lives! You should learn from them!
Dress smartly and show your face in the capital, so that those ladies from prominent families can see you!
Don't just stay in the capital camp with those burly, rough men!
"Oh dear, if you were ever included in some kind of list of the ten most reckless men in the capital, your little princess would be heartbroken."
Zhang Qingxuan elegantly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, her expression mocking.
"Childish, is there such a ranking?" Mu Yun Chu continued with an indifferent face.
“Uh, not yet,” Zhang Qingxuan completely ignored his indifference. “What if someone spreads rumors that Prince Li is a black-faced demon? Won’t your little princess be angry?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu thought of his little girl, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. The quick change of expression caught Zhang Qing Xuan off guard.
Zhang Qingxuan: I was inexplicably fed a dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)...
"Ah!! What a pity! My white moonlight!" A young man pounded the table and sighed in the hall outside the door.
"Have you even met Miss Gu San? Your 'white moonlight'? You're probably drunk from drinking tea! Haha------"
"What do you know? This young master has seen it from afar, and it's truly pathetic! A beautiful flower has been placed in—"
"Are you out of your mind?!" Someone realized that what this guy said had gone too far and immediately stopped him. That was a prince!
"On cow dung..." the young master insisted on finishing the sentence, unable to hold back his words.
"Pfft-------" Zhang Qingxuan couldn't help but chuckle again.
He continued wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, and when he saw that someone's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he almost burst out laughing.
"Then why do you think the Eighth Prince was able to marry Princess Lianfu? It was a marriage decree," someone brought up the Eighth Prince's marriage decree again.
"Get lost...you're together now, aren't you?"
"You understand the Eighth Prince best."
"That's natural, after all, Princess Lianfu is a woman."
"Hahaha-------", Zhang Qingxuan really didn't mean it, he just couldn't help it!
"Boring," Mu Yun Chu stood up, watched two figures leave He Tai Feng across the street, and turned to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?" Zhang Qingxuan saw someone get up and thought he was going out to beat someone up, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"I have to go now," Zhang Qingxuan hurriedly followed. When they reached the outer hall, he was already gone, and they could only hear his words from afar.
"This guy, I think he's gone crazy with joy," Zhang Qingxuan said, touching his nose and sitting down to continue sipping his tea.
Then, I continued to listen to the various gossips that were going on in the lobby outside.
He looked up and saw Mu Yun Chu, who had just come downstairs, go into the He Tai Feng restaurant across the street. He was filled with nothing but sighs!
Wow, that person acted really fast! I bet many people in the capital haven't even had a chance to react yet!
Private room on the second floor of He Tai Fung.
Gu Yuanming held his wine glass and took a leisurely sip. Hmm, not bad.
Finally, the tearful Liu Zichan left, and his ears finally had some peace and quiet.
"Waiter, the bill is due," Gu Yuanming said, putting down his wine glass.
With a creak, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Gu Yuanming looked up and saw a tall and imposing figure walk in.
"General Gu," Mu Yun Chu said, sitting down opposite Gu Yuan Ming without any ceremony, completely ignoring the mess on the table.
"Your Highness Prince Li," Gu Yuanming stood up and bowed, but Mu Yun Chu raised her hand and pressed him down.
"No need to be so formal," Mu Yun Chu nodded indifferently. "We're brothers in private. Our years of military camaraderie are genuine, and we'll be even closer in the future."
Gu Yuanming's lips twitched. It was astonishing that Prince Li, that icy and taciturn man, could utter such high-sounding words.
Back in the Lizhou camp, this seventh prince was always like a saw-off gourd, rarely saying a word. Often, after I had been talking for a long time, he would only respond with a single sentence or even a few words.
Today is not what it used to be.
However, it seems that his change occurred after he met his younger sister.
"Your subject dares not," Gu Yuanming replied.
"Third Brother," the man said.
Gu Yuanming's hand trembled.
This guy's skin has gotten thicker too.
Gu Yuanming paused for a moment, then coughed lightly. "Your Highness sought me out today because of my little sister?"
Gu Yuanming picked up the wine pot, took a clean cup, poured a cup of wine for Mu Yun Chu, and pushed it in front of him.
"No, it's because of you. What are your plans for the future?" Mu Yun Chu didn't stand on ceremony, picked up her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp before putting the glass down.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanming sat up straight. "Does Your Highness have any suggestions?"
"Northwest Ganzhou Camp".
"Is King Li referring to the border of the Western Jin Dynasty?"
Gu Yuanming frowned. As far as he knew, there had been no major battles on the border of Ganzhou in the northwest in recent years. There had been minor skirmishes with the Western Jin, but he had not heard any rumors of a major war.
“It’s not my Great Chu, it’s Nanzhao. I estimate that they will soon have a war with the Western Jin. How can there be no movement on the border of Ganzhou?” Mu Yun Chu said with certainty.
Gu Yuanming narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then said, "In that case, Your Highness will have to trouble you."
This is consent.
Mu Yun Chu put down her cup and said, "Third Brother, you're too kind. Where's A Yue?"
Gu Yuanming was taken aback, not expecting Mu Yun Chu to change her mind so quickly.
