“Big Biao, what happened to your eyes?
The man called Big Biao quickly covered the man’s mouth and dragged him away. He even thoughtfully closed the door for them.
“What did you just say?
Gu Ying, who was initially a little nervous, saw that MO Ruyue was not like other women. She shyly covered her face and ran away after hearing these words. She even seriously wanted to clarify things. Indeed, the girl he liked was different.
“I said I like you, I like you, and I want to marry you.”
MO Ruyue stood up immediately, the imperial edict in her hand twisted out of shape. “I’m not getting married.”
Gu Ying also stood up and took a step closer to MO Ruyue.
“Then I’ll marry you.”
Anyway, MO Ruyue belonged to their family, so it didn’t matter if they got married.
“I…”
“I’ve exceeded your standards for choosing a spouse.”
“I don’t have parents, so I don’t need you to help me raise my siblings.
Cockroach and Xiaowei don’t count, they’re raised by you.”
MO Ruyue took a step back at Gu Yings words, and Gu Ying took another step forward.
“Not only am I a scholar, but I’m also a second-place scholar now. I won’t be an official either. If you want to stay in the village forever, then I’ll accompany you to open a hospital and a medicinal cuisine shop in the village.”
“I still have a profit-sharing business, and I don’t need you to support my family.”
“You can keep your money, and I’ll give you all my money. You can spend it however you want.”
Gu Ying took another step forward.
“If you don’t want to stay in the village, I’ll follow you wherever you want.”
“If you don’t want to have children, I can give up. We already have Zi Xi and Zi Chen anyway.”
Gu Ying blurted out all the words in his heart in one breath, and his heart relaxed.
He finally told her personally.
He was a little annoyed. Why couldn’t the imperial edict be announced after he confessed to MO Ruyue?
Would MO Ruyue think that he was pursuing her because she had become a princess?
This Ji Hong was born to be his nemesis!
Gu Ying nervously waited for MO Ruyue’s answer.
MO Ruyue had been forced into a corner. At this moment, she was thinking, ‘Damn it. Why do I feel moved when I hear Gu Ying’s conditions?
“But I’m your sister-in-law.”
“You’re only in name. You two haven’t consummated your marriage. In reality, you’re not his wife yet.”
None of this was important, and no one would talk about it.
“It’s mainly you.”
Gu Ying thought fiercely in his heart. If anyone dared to say anything about their relationship, he would definitely make that person speechless!
“I…”
“You came to Beijing to pick me up because you care about me, don’t you?
“Don’t be in a hurry to deny it. Why don’t you try to accept me first?”
“Give me a chance.”
Seeing MO Ruyue speak again, Gu Ying was afraid that she would say something he did not want to hear, so he hurriedly interrupted her.
“Actually, there are many girls who are prettier than me, have better personalities, and are better than me in everything. You can take a look at those girls.”
MO Ruyue tried to persuade Gu Ying. “But they are not you. I like you.”
“I like the way you look.”
“I like your temper.”
“I like the real you.”
Mo Ruyue felt that GuYing had suddenly become a master of flirting with girls, and he was the kind that did not show off.
“Then give me some time to think about it.”
“Alright, you can think of anything you want. I’ll always be waiting for you.”
Gu Ying took the initiative to leave MO Ruyue alone after he finished speaking. He knew that she would be a little flustered.
If it wasn’t because he couldn’t wait any longer, he wouldn’t be so radical.
However, he really didn’t want to wait any longer.
Even if she rejected him, he wouldn’t regret saying it out loud.
He was glad that MO Ruyue did not reject him immediately, which meant that she had thought about it.
However, MO Ruyue did not have much time to think about this matter.
Following the departure of her father-in-law, the important figures in the palace successively sent gifts to her, the newly crowned princess.
First) it was the Emperor’s, then the Empress Dowager’s and Imperial Concubine Li’s, and then the other two concubines’.
Ji Hong now had a total of four concubines, including the Empress. This was because he had just become the Emperor not long ago and had yet to select a talent.
The other two concubines had not officially met MO Ruyue yet, but they knew how much the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine favored MO Ruyue. Now that the Empress Dowager had given MO Ruyue gifts, they could not pretend that they did not know.
Since the Emperor had conferred MO Ruyue the title of Princess, he had to give her a princess mansion. Thus, he had sent people from the Ministry of Works to communicate with MO Ruyue.
Ji Hong knew that MO Ruyue didn’t like living in the capital, and she was not used to the scheming here. He also didn’t want the happy and innocent MO Ruyue to think about scheming every day.
He had conferred the title of Princess on MO Ruyue because he wanted her to have a higher status so that no one would dare to bully her in the future. If she could not become a part of his family, she could become a part of his maternal family. This would also add some resistance to a certain someone.
He had given MO Ruyue a fief. MO Ruyue’s princess manor could be built directly in the West River Village of Reliance Town. As for the exact location, it was a place that MO Ruyue liked.
The people from the Ministry of Works had come to explain to MO Ruyue.
MO Ruyue was truly touched.
Ji Hong was too thoughtful.
The eight palace maids and two nannies that followed were all given to her to help her manage the princess’ manor. If she did not like it in the future, she could do as she pleased.
This was in consideration of the fact that MO Ruyue would not like to lose weight. Otherwise, according to Imperial Concubine Li i s wishes, MO Ruyue would be served by twenty people.
“How should I address this lord?”
MO Ruyue looked at the young assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, who was in his twenties and dressed in official robes, and asked politely.
“I don’t dare. Princess Ming Yue, you can call me Meng Xun.”
Although MO Ruyue was a princess who was not related to the royal family by blood) she was a Second Grade Princess with a fief. She was also the Emperor’s younger sister. Her status was naturally not something a mere assistant minister could compare to.
“Meng Xun, you also know that I will only return after another twenty days.
Now…”
MO Ruyue did not finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious.
“I know. The Emperor instructed me to come and communicate with the
Princess in advance so that you can be prepared at that time.”
“Alright, I got it.”
“Then I will go back and prepare.”
“Alright.
After Meng Xun left, a few palace maids walked up to MO Ruyue and introduced themselves. “This servant is Granny Yan.”
“This servant is Nanny Rong.”
MO Ruyue stared at the two nannies with wide eyes, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
This one was strict, and the other was vicious. She saw the appearance of the two nannies and heaved a sigh of relief. They both had kind looks. As the saying goes, looks are born from the heart. It’s good.
It was just that their names were too scary.
“This servant is Qiu Shi.” “This servant is Chun Hua.”
“This servant is Xia Yu.”
“This servant is Dong Xue.”
Then there was a name called Jiayao, which was not ranked with them. The remaining three names were: Chrysanthemum, lotus, plum blossom.
“Greetings, Princess Ming Yue!” The ten of them said in unison.
“No need for formalities.”
MO Ruyue had seen Imperial Concubine Li’s way of doing things, so she was very familiar with these simple etiquette.
Nanny Rong took out a stack of contract papers and respectfully walked over to MO Ruyue.
“Princess, this is the servant’s contract, please keep it.
“These old servants, Chun Hua, Qiu Shi, and Jia Yao will stay behind to serve you. The others will go to the princess’ palace to take care of things.”
“When you leave, I will go with you. Princess, what do you think?”
MO Ruyue had almost forgotten that she had a mansion in the capital that was convenient for her to live in.
“But, Granny will make the arrangements.”
“Yes. ”
After Granny Yan left with the other palace maids, Granny Rong, Chun Hua, and Qiu Shi followed MO Ruyue closely..
