Chapter 206 What Are You Thinking About?
The next day, news spread that King Gu Jiang of Qi sent a betrothal gift to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and many officials also learned that King Qi was planning to marry Nangong Zhu, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Gu Jiang is planning to get married to Nangong Zhu of the Prime Minister's Office?!"
In the palace, Gu Chen looked at the news he had just received with surprise on his face.
The status of King Gu Jiang of Qi was not prominent, and he was not particularly valued in the court.
To be honest, as long as the other party didn't act casually, Gu Chen never thought about dealing with this so-called fourth brother.
Because from the beginning to the end, he never took the other party seriously.
but now....
The other party suddenly got married to the Prime Minister's Office, which is a bit intriguing.
"Your Highness, are you still busy?"
Jiang Heyan opened the door and walked in. She looked at Gu Chen who was still busy in the room and asked in a low voice.
Gu Chen simply packed up the things on the table, stood up and walked out, "Yan'er, why are you here?"
Jiang Heyan looked up and said in a gentle tone: "I saw that the weather is nice today, and since I haven't gone out for a long time, I wanted to see if His Highness has time."
Gu Chen heard the meaning of the other party's words and immediately said: "I have nothing to do today, Yan'er, where do you want to go for a walk?"
Seeing His Highness agreeing so quickly, Jiang Heyan felt happy and said sweetly: "I just want to go out and get some fresh air, but as long as His Highness is there, Yan'er can go anywhere..."
After saying that, Jiang Heyan immediately lowered her head shyly, her face was red, and her neat little hands gently pulled her dress.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, this little girl dared to tease him!
I really deserve a beating....
But after all the talk, Gu Chen had no choice but to risk his life today to accompany the beauty.
....
Maybe it's been too long since I've traveled far away. Today I accompanied Jiang Heyan, and she seemed extremely happy. I walked around the major shops in the city and bought whatever I liked. Gu Chen paid for it anyway.
Arriving at a rouge and gouache shop, Jiang Heyan immediately took a look at a newly arrived bright red rouge in the shop, and quickly asked Chun Xia next to her, "Chun Xia, what do you think of this rouge?"
Chunxia nodded naively, "It's quite, quite beautiful."
"Okay, since you like it too, I'll give you this box of rouge."
After saying that, Jiang Heyan picked up the box of rouge and asked the store clerk to pack it up. Then she looked back at Gu Chen, "Your Highness, you want to buy this box for Chun Xia."
Gu Chen quickly called to Liu Yun next to him, "Go and settle the bill."
"yes."
Liu Yun also walked to the counter very wisely, paid Yan Zhi's money, and then took the initiative to hold Yan Zhi in his hand.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing this scene, Jiang Heyan said sweetly, and then grabbed Chunxia to prepare to go shopping in other stores, "Let's go, Chunxia, let's see what we can buy later."
"oh oh."
Perhaps because Gu Chen was around, Chun Xia was still a little restrained and didn't even dare to speak casually. Whatever Jiang Heyan said, she just replied carefully.
Afterwards, Jiang Heyan planned to take Chun Xia to the jewelry store opposite to buy her some more jewelry.
"Help! Someone help me!"
Just when Jiang Heyan and the others walked onto the street, a high-pitched scream came from a distance. When they looked up, they saw Nangong Zhu running towards them desperately, with several prime ministers chasing after them. of guards.
At this time, the other party's Nangong Zhu also saw Jiang Heyan and immediately quickened his pace and ran towards her.
The guards at the rear seemed to recognize the identities of Gu Chen and Jiang Heyan. They all stopped and bent down to salute.
"I have met Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang. Please ask the two adults to ask my young lady to return it to us."
Hearing that these people wanted to take her back, Nangong Zhu directly grabbed Jiang Heyan's little hand and said fearfully: "Heyan, help me, they want to take me back, I don't want to go back, I don't want to marry Prince Qi."
She spoke urgently, her words full of pleading.
Jiang Heyan frowned, and some doubts flashed in her heart.
Women are very vindictive.
When she first married Prince Zhuang, he made things difficult for her in Jialan Garden because of their disagreement.
The relationship between the two is not even close to being friends.
But listening to Nangong Zhu's explanation just now, she probably didn't want to agree to King Qi's marriage, so she sneaked out.
After a brief hesitation, Jiang Heyan took away Nangong Zhu's hand and said softly: "Sorry, I can't help you."
After saying that, he took Chunxia and left in front of her. Gu Chen also looked at her for a while, and then left.
He Yan did the right thing.
This is a family matter of the Prime Minister's Office, and they cannot be controlled by outsiders.
And now that King Gu Jiang of Qi is engaged to Prime Minister Nangong Zhu, Emperor Wu must have gone too far.
Running away at this time and refusing to marry is a complete slap in the face of the royal family.
Therefore, no matter what happens to Nangong Zhu in the future, it is not convenient for Gu Chen and others to intervene.
Of course, Nangong Zhu was just a passerby to them, and there was really no need to help.
After Gu Chen and others stopped, the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately walked up to Nangong Zhu and invited her back.
Being disturbed by Nangong Zhu, Jiang Heyan's original interest in shopping immediately lost a lot. She couldn't help but look at Gu Chen beside her and whispered: "Your Highness, it seems that Nangong Zhu was forced. She shouldn't want to Marry Prince Qi."
She didn't know much about King Qi, his royal brother.
I only know that the other party is not married yet, but he has several concubines in the house, and the oldest child is almost five or six years old.
If Nangong Zhu were to marry her, even though she would be the official wife, she might not be able to control the concubines below based on her skills.
Gu Chen nodded, "Nangong Jue probably made the decision for her. She was born as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, so she can only follow the arrangements."
"Too."
Jiang Heyan agreed very much with what Gu Chen said.
Our daughter has not had the right to make decisions since she was born. Even if she was the husband, it was the Duke of Zhen who helped her choose her husband.
That is the current His Highness.
Of course, luckily I met His Highness.
Even though there were a lot of quarrels at the beginning of their marriage, they got along in the end. More importantly, His Highness was willing to sincerely care for and love her.
They are also the most outstanding among all the princes in terms of figure and appearance, and they are also very healthy.
After thinking about it, Jiang Heyan subconsciously touched her swollen belly, feeling very satisfied.
Compared to Nangong Zhu, she is indeed much luckier.
She even thought about the warm scene of the whole family surrounding His Highness after she gave birth to a child.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Jiang Heyan in a daze, Gu Chen held her hand and asked curiously.
"I didn't think anything of it."
Jiang Heyan shook her head first, then looked up at Gu Chen and said softly: "Your Highness, I'm a little tired, why don't we go back."
"Okay, then go back."
