Chapter 1989: 2076
Author: Thirteen pure onesMachine Translation
Gu Yan did not care about getting a wife and having children.
Gu Yan did not need a woman either.
There was nothing in this world that he could see.
Being a regent was not because of power, but because of the previous emperor's order.
To live... ... seemed to be quite boring ...
Why must he marry a princess of the same family?
Gu Yan thought about it for a few days to understand this principle.
*
At the end of the year, Gu Yan held a banquet himself, but he was impatient to appear.
He casually showed up at the banquet and then corrected the documents in the study. The banquet was directly handed over to Xia Ling to take charge of.
Xia Ling really couldn't understand his attitude.
If he said he didn't plan to choose a princess, why did he hold this banquet.
If he said to choose a princess, by giving her the power to choose, was he asking her to choose a princess herself?
Xia Ling herself didn't understand.
As for Gu Yan doing this, the noble girls attending the banquet also didn't understand.
Don't look at Gu Yan's usual temperament. Back then, because of years of war, the entire capital had been purged by him. Gu Yan had the reputation of being cold-blooded and heartless.
However, he was good-looking. Apart from having a more sinister aura, he also had monstrous power in his hands.
Many noble ladies did not say it out loud, but in their hearts, they really liked Gu Yan's type.
It was a rare opportunity. In this year, the noble ladies saw Gu Yan again. Xia Ling had led a carefree life and was pampered. She was so glorious in the capital.
Who did not think that if they married Gu Yan, they would be Xia Ling's second?
Other than not being as good-looking as Xia Ling, they came from noble families. Needless to say, they were talented. In this way, they were worthy of Gu Yan.
There were many noble ladies who thought highly of themselves. Therefore, at this banquet, half of the noble ladies in the capital had come.
"Madam Xia, May I know when the Royal Highness will come? " A young lady came forward to inquire.
Xia Ling looked indifferently at the young lady who was dressed meticulously.
Speaking of which, she was a love rival to these young ladies. This young lady was really bold. A group of people came up to her and asked her.
"The Royal Highness is not coming. He told me to take full responsibility for this banquet, " Xia Ling replied.
The group of people pricked up their ears to listen. When they heard that Gu Yan was not coming and that Xia Ling was in charge of all the matters, more than half of the young ladies looked at each other in dismay. Most of their hearts were broken. They did not know what Gu Yan was doing... ...
To choose a princess consort, he actually let a beloved concubine in the manor make the decision.
With such disrespect, if they were to enter the regent Prince's manor in the future, how would they establish rules in front of this concubine?
"Madam Xia, the flower tea in the manor is very delicious. I wonder if I can ask you for some after the banquet. When I go back, I'll get the maidservants in my manor to match it up and learn from the regent prince's Manor's elegant taste? "
In the crowd, a woman in a white dress walked over with a smile.
She was very elegant, different from the virtuous daughter of the first lady of the Lin family. Anyone who looked at this woman would be able to tell that she had the bearing of a great family.
This gentle and magnanimous appearance had the temperament of a poet and a scholar.
Most importantly, she had a pair of beautiful eyes. When she looked into these eyes, there was a clear distinction between black and white, and they were filled with rationality and calmness.
This kind of woman did not seem to be affected by anything. She would not do anything that would make her jealous.
Xia Ling looked at Yang Wan.
She looked like a proper wife.
Looking at such a woman, who would have thought that she would be jealous? She had her own secrets. On the day of the wedding, she would secretly collude with someone and kill Xia Ling in the courtyard?
"I'm really sorry, Miss Yang. " Xia Ling smiled.
It was great that she was reborn. One could not tell the heart from the face.
This Yang Wan did seem to have the right to make Gu Yan trust her.
Men always looked at women in a good light and would believe that all the women in his backyard coexisted peacefully.
Therefore, when she saw Yang Wan's face being stared at so sincerely by Yang Wan, Xia Ling understood that she had lost to Yang Wan in her previous life not because Yang Wan came from a good family background and was prettier than her, but because Yang Wan had made Gu Yan believe her She could be a good princess consort in the regent Prince's mansion.
"This flower tea is the exclusive formula of the regent Prince's mansion. If you like it, it's just a banquet. I'll get someone to give you some. Forget about the formula, you can't leak it, " Xia Ling said with a smile, looking at Yang Wan as well.
The confrontation between the two women was instantaneous.
Yang Wan instinctively sensed that Xia Ling did not like her.
But, how could it be?
She had always been able to conceal her emotions very well. She was not that outstanding and was also her trump card. As long as she had the heart to date, no one would say anything bad about her.
Could it be that this Xia Ling knew that she liked Gu Yan?
Yang Wan's fingertips gently pinched the palm of her hand. She smiled at Xia Ling with inspiration, gentle and gentle.
"Then thank you very much, Madam Xia. "
"You're welcome. " Xia Ling's lips curved even deeper.
Compared to the house fights and scheming, who did Xia Ling lose to?
In her previous life, she could still play with the power struggles in the court, but she had neglected Gu Yan.
In this life, she had given up on scheming for Xia country and lived entirely for herself. A Little Yang Wan, under her vigilance, did not even have a chance to get close to Gu Yan.
& AMP;
Seeing Yang Wan, Xia Ling's mood suddenly became very good.
After all, as long as Gu Yan was not blind, he would never abandon her and marry Yang Wan again in this life.
It was just a face of a proper wife. Gu Yan never needed these things!
She could choose not to be his princess consort, but she would never let any woman with any thoughts get a chance to get close to Gu Yan.
Xia Ling smiled and presided over the entire banquet.
Although her status was not high enough and she was not a princess consort.
However, Gu Yan did not show up and sent Li Yu to pressure her. Therefore, the banquet ended and the guests and hosts were all happy. No one could say anything bad about Xia Ling.
After returning from the regent Prince's residence, Yang Wan sat there with her mother by her side.
Because Yang Wan liked Gu Yan, the Yang family also wanted to fulfill their daughter's wishes.
However, after watching the entire night, mother Yang couldn't help but ask Yang Wan.
"Wan 'er, you've always had an idea. Previously, we received news that Gu Yan was preparing to choose a princess consort. But looking at this banquet today, no matter how you look at it, it didn't seem like Gu Yan was looking at her. Instead, it seemed like he was preparing to help this unpresentable Madam Xia become a princess consort To create momentum for her?"
"IMPOSSIBLE! " Yang Wan instinctively retorted.
Her quick reaction was a loss of composure.
Mother Yang looked at her disapprovingly.
Coming back to her senses, Yang Wan lowered her eyes and only stared at the tip of her shoe.
"perhaps the regent king had something to attend to, and there was no one in the regent king's residence who could be of use, so he could only let Madam Xia come out to entertain her. "
"Sigh, perhaps. " Mother Yang sighed and grabbed Yang Wan's hand "However, no matter how understandable it is, this Gu Yan has always been temperamental, turning hostile and refusing to acknowledge others. He dotes on this Madam Xia so much, even if... you really have the chance to marry him and become a princess consort, you still have no chance of winning against that woman. "
