The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 72

Jingyi followed Bai Miner's figure and saw Bai Miner sitting with a woman in a green shirt. This lady looks so familiar!

Suddenly, Jingyi suddenly remembered that this was Cui Moli, Cui Xixi's third sister. How could they get together? You know, Bai Miner looked down on illegitimate children the most, how could she get along so well with Cui Moli?

"Yiyi, what's wrong with you?" Gu Yu pushed her gently.

Jingyi came back to her senses, lowered her eyelids, covered her puzzled eyes, turned to look at Gu Yu, "Cousin, what do you think of the Prince of England?"

Gu Yu blushed and whispered, "Why did you think of asking this? There are so many people, don't ask."

After that, he pulled Jingyi aside to appreciate the chrysanthemums.

Cui Xixi and Liu Waner followed, Cui Xixi asked with concern: "What's wrong with Yiyi? Was she frightened by the palace maid just now?"

"No, Sister Cui is worrying too much. I was asking my cousin when she would embroider a purse for me?"

"I heard that Miss Gu's needlework is quite good. When can you embroider one for me? It can't be that only Yiyi's is embroidered, but we are left behind, right?" Cui Xixi joked.

"That's right, good things can't just be thought of as your cousin! We want them too!" Liu Waner gently shook Gu Yu's arm and refused to let go, looking like a little girl acting coquettishly.

Jingyi smiled and said: "I'm the youngest, so of course you have to give it to me. You are all so old, can't you embroider the purse yourself if you want it? And you're snatching things from your little sister, aren't you ashamed?"

Hearing this, Cui Xixi looked at Jingyi with a smile: "Okay! Your little girl's mouth is getting more and more unforgiving. See how I deal with you today!" After saying that, she pretended to tickle Jingyi.

Jingyi dodged everywhere, and then grabbed Gu Yu, and the two of them made a mess.

In the pavilion not far away, Lady Bai, the wife of Duke Dingguo, saw it, smiled lightly, but shook her head and said, "Look at these children, you can hear their laughter everywhere."

Gu smiled: "Isn't it? It's still good at this age, carefree. In a few years, Gu Yu, Miss Cui, and Wan'er will probably all get married!"

Liu put down the teacup in her hand, wiped her lips with a handkerchief and said, "Yes. I didn't expect these children to play together. Yiyi is only seven years old, but she is the smartest among the children. Yu'er often told me that she wanted to stay at your house for a few days, or let Yiyi stay at the general's house for a few days. But these days I have been busy with all kinds of things, and I didn't let the children talk to each other. It's also our fault as mothers."

The wife of Duke Dingguo nodded, "Yes. I owe my life to your Yiyi. When I went to the palace to pay my respects to the queen a few days ago, I mentioned Yiyi. The queen praised your Yiyi. She kept saying that it would be great if my niece was as sensible as Yiyi."

Gu smiled and said, "Children are naughty. Like my Yiyi, although she is well-behaved outside, she is spoiled by the old man at home. But it's also strange that our old man is very hard to listen to what I and Lord Hou say, but he listens to Yiyi."

"Oh? Can your little Yiyi control your father-in-law?" The wife of Duke Dingguo was a little surprised.

"Yes, take taking medicine for example. The old man drank half a bowl and poured out the other half. But if Yiyi was here, he would definitely drink it all. Isn't that strange? I also asked what Yiyi did to make the old man drink the medicine obediently. But no one would tell me! I'm still confused." Gu chuckled when she said this.

"Jingyi is so smart and clever at such a young age, and she is also very popular. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of people coming to your house to propose marriage in the future!" Liu joked.

The wife of Duke Dingguo smiled and said to Gu, "Madam Su, how about we arrange an engagement between my youngest son and your Jingyi?"

Gu smiled with a handkerchief covering her mouth and said, "Madam Cui really likes to joke. If I want to arrange an engagement, I have to consider the children of my sister-in-law first. Haha." After that, the three of them smiled and looked at the four people chasing and playing again.

Bai Min'er sat not far away and watched the four people having fun. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand fiercely and whispered, "Hmph! Su Jingyi, it's always you! Are you born to defeat me?" Cui Moli, who was wearing a green shirt, shook her head and thought to herself that the palace maid was indeed too stupid just now. Bai Min'er is stupid, and the servants she found are just as stupid! Just thinking about how to persuade Bai Min'er to act again, a charming figure came over. The person who came was Yang Qian, the niece of Concubine De! Yang Qian can be said to be beautiful and charming! Especially those eyes, it seems like they have witchcraft! A glance at the man is enough to make the man ecstatic. Yang Qian is fourteen years old this year. She is the concubine of Concubine De's brother, the general of Zhenxi! Her biological mother was a dancer, who was later valued by the general of Zhenxi and married back. Yang Qian's biological mother is a rare beauty! Unfortunately, her family background was too poor, and she only gave birth to a daughter for General Yang Shuo of Zhenxi. Even though she was charming, she could not stand the passage of time, year after year, and Yang Shuo was extremely lustful! The most abundant thing in the mansion was beautiful women.

Although Yang Qian's biological mother was extremely beautiful, she was tired of her after a long time. When she gave birth to a daughter, Yang Shuo had already forgotten her. The dancer realized at this time that Yang Shuo, who doted on her so much, was not her good man, so she fell ill in a fit of anger. Soon she passed away.

Yang Qian was raised by Yang Shuo's wife, but she refused to record her name. After all, she disliked her biological mother's background!

Yang Qian came over gracefully and said with a smile: "Miss Bai, what's the matter?"

Bai Min'er saw that it was her, and said unhappily: "What does it have to do with you? Humph! Go away, I don't want to see you!"

Bai Min'er and Yang Qian have a deep grudge! Bai Min'er was proud of her noble birth and always looked down upon Yang Qian! But Yang Qian happened to have a talent called "Qin Xian"! If she hadn't come late because of something, the Queen would have asked her to play a piece of music for everyone to appreciate!

Cui Moli saw Yang Qian, winked at her, and then stood up and left.

Yang Qian nodded at her slightly, and smiled, "Miss Bai, are you worried about the second prince's affairs?"

"It's none of your business!" Bai Min'er still replied angrily.

Yang Qian's expression did not change, and she still smiled good-temperedly, "Miss Bai, I'm not saying anything, do you really want to see the second prince marry Gu Yu?"

Bai Min'er's eyes darkened, and her face was a little angry. Yang Qian saw it, but her eyes were full of smiles. "Miss Bai, my status is low, I am not worthy of the second prince, but Miss Gu's status is not low. It is natural for her to be the principal wife."

"Don't talk nonsense! The second prince will not marry her, and the queen will not agree!" Bai Min'er was obviously stimulated! Her face flushed, and her hands tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hands again.

Yang Qian smiled, and suddenly she had a thousand kinds of charm, as if the charming peony bloomed in the sun, bright and beautiful! Bai Min'er didn't realize how beautiful Yang Qian was, but Jingyi, who was standing not far from them, saw this scene clearly! What a beautiful beauty!

Yang Qian didn't notice Jing Yi's gaze, she said softly: "Miss Bai, you know that you are of noble birth and naturally beautiful, but you are too young! The second prince can't marry a nine-year-old princess, right?"

"Humph! Anyway, the eldest prince hasn't taken a princess yet, how can it be the second prince's turn? Besides, they are not yet twenty years old, so they can't take a principal wife."

"Miss Bai is so naive! If the second prince and Miss Gu were married, would the queen stop them? Besides, there are many men in the folk who marry before they are twenty years old! There are also precedents in the royal family. Are you deceiving yourself?"

"You!" Although Bai Min'er was angry at her attitude, she was no longer angry. Obviously, she had listened to Yang Qian's words.

Yang Qian added, "Miss Bai, I'm just here to remind you. If you listen, it's fine. If you don't, it doesn't matter. After all, it's not like my husband was robbed." After saying that, she laughed.

"I won't give Gu Yu this chance! Humph! It's all because of the stupidity of that slave just now! She can't even do a little thing well." Bai Min'er said bitterly.

Yang Qian raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "If the little palace maid can't do it well, what about the nanny? In this huge palace, if your words don't work, then your aunt, the queen's words, won't work?"

After Yang Qian finished speaking, she looked at Bai Min'er's reaction. For a young lady like Bai Min'er who was born in a noble family and was self-righteous, she only needed to stop talking to them. If she said too much, she might think you were scolding her for being stupid!

Bai Min'er was smart, but she was not good at intrigue. Now after hearing what Yang Qian said, she naturally understood. Her mind was spinning fast, thinking about how to trick Gu Yu out, preferably to a place where everyone could see her. In this way, if she was seen meeting with other men, her reputation would be ruined, and the second prince would naturally not marry her again. Thinking of this, Bai Min'er became a little excited again.

After a while, Bai Min'er got up and walked a short distance before she found a maid in the Queen's Palace, "Go and invite Gu Yu to Yilan Palace, and say it was the Queen's order." Bai Min'er ordered.

"This," the maid seemed a little embarrassed.
