Chapter 206 He Doesn’t Want to Be a Son-in-Law
Oh my god! He doesn't want to be a live-in son-in-law!
The moment Mu Qingyan saw Prince Ling, she pursed her lips subconsciously. She looked up inadvertently and saw Prince Ling raising his eyebrows at her, as if to say, "You're going to run away after teasing me?" Huh?
Mu Qingyan's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head.
There are only three people in the Gu family who know about the entanglement between Gu Jin and Princess Qinghe: Gu Yu, Mu Qingyan, and Yuan Ying.
The moment they saw Princess Qinghe, the three of them gave him a look that said "May you be lucky".
Gu Jin gritted his teeth and glared at the three people who were taking advantage of his misfortune.
Everyone else was confused. Prince Ling suddenly came to visit with generous gifts and a princess was accompanying him... What was going on?
Prince Ling was invited to the main hall, and the maid served him tea.
Princess Qinghe was so quiet today that she seemed like a completely different person from the woman who pressed Gu Jin to the ground that day.
"I wonder what important matter has come to you today, Your Majesty?"
General Gu asked.
Prince Ling picked up the hot tea and took a sip. His unhurried manner made Princess Qinghe anxious.
She kept winking at people, but he seemed not to see it. He slowly put down the teacup and looked in the direction of Miss Mu for a while, until Miss Mu glared at him fiercely... cough, he withdrew his gaze with a wicked smile and looked at the sixth son of the Gu family.
When Gu Jin met that gaze, his whole body shuddered.
I couldn't help but stand up straighter.
But he didn't dare to look in that direction, and his head was almost buried in his chest.
I wish I could find a hole to crawl into, or disappear on the spot.
"I would like to ask, have all the young masters of the Gu family been engaged?"
General Gu looked at the old lady and felt it was a bit strange. Could it be that Prince Ling brought the famous Princess Qinghe to choose a princess?
It shouldn’t be!
Although Prince Yongle had left Beijing, he was still around! How could Prince Ling, a cousin, make decisions for his uncle?
"In reply to your Highness, my family and I have only just returned to the capital. We have not been in the capital for many years and do not know much about the social customs of each family. Therefore, we have not made any plans yet..."
Knowing that no one had chosen a husband, he didn't beat around the bush, "This cousin of mine has taken a fancy to your Sixth Young Master. I wonder what the old general thinks of this..."
Princess Qinghe took a deep breath and thought to herself, Brother Prince Ling, you know how to propose marriage!
There is no psychological preparation at all!
The old general was stunned for a moment before he said, "My little six is crude and poorly educated. It is a great honor for him to be favored by the princess. However, his six elder brothers are still unmarried, so as a younger brother, it is not appropriate for him to go ahead of his elder brothers..."
This is a very tactful refusal.
Prince Ling understood.
Then, he glanced at Princess Qinghe who was about to jump up in anxiety, as if to say, see, didn't I tell them that they couldn't agree to it?
Princess Qinghe glared at him. She was really tired of pretending to be a lady for so long, so she stood up and said, "General Gu, I have something to say to the Sixth Young Master. Please allow me."
She had promised Brother Prince Ling that she would not be rude to the Gu family, and that she would not put on airs as a princess. She had never been so patient with anyone in her life!
She has pretended enough!
General Gu glanced at Gu Jin, who had been shrinking his neck and pretending to be a quail since Prince Ling and his companions entered the door, and said, "Xiao Liu, since the princess has something to say, then you should go..."
When his grandfather spoke, he could only stand up and respond in a dull voice, "Yes, Grandfather..."
Then when he passed by Mu Qingyan, he frowned and moved his mouth.
Mu Qingyan understood what he was saying, save me, save me...
However, in this situation, they really could not help.
He can only wish for the best.
Prince Ling knew that Princess Qinghe was using him as a cover to enter the Gu family and meet Gu Jin with legitimate reasons.
He didn't care, otherwise, how would he have a reason to meet the person he wanted to meet?
After Princess Qinghe left, Prince Ling also said, "I also have something to say to Miss Mu alone. I would like to ask the old general to allow me..."
He was very humble, and the two of them were already engaged, so the old general had no reason to disapprove.
So he stretched out his hand, "Your Majesty, please..."
He stood up and left. Mu Qingyan lowered her head and sighed slightly, then stood up and bowed to the elder, then hurriedly followed him out.
He was eating Gu Jin's melon just now, but he turned around and ate his own body...
Prince Ling walked quickly and stopped after leaving the main hall.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the person who was lowering his head.
Mu Qingyan saw him suddenly stop and looked up, with a flash of doubt in her eyes. Prince Ling had a sly smile on his face, "I am not familiar with the Gu Mansion, please lead the way, Miss Mu..."
Mu Qingyan knew that he came to her house on purpose, so she gritted her teeth, stepped on him hard, and then left quickly.
Jun Ye looked at the furious figure and his smile deepened.
On the other side, Gu Jin took people to the backyard and found a relatively remote pavilion.
He was looking around, afraid that someone would hear their conversation.
In fact, the servants of the Gu family were very well-behaved and no one dared to eavesdrop on their master's conversation.
"You, you..." Gu Jin's face turned red to his ears just by looking at her.
You talked for a long time but didn't say a word.
Princess Qinghe raised her chin and stared at him coldly, "Aren't you very good at hiding? Try hiding from me again?"
Gu Jin's expression was even more embarrassed. "I, I'm not hiding from you..." I just don't know how to face you...
It was an accident that I saw her bathing in the river in the mountains that day.
Although he felt very embarrassed, he really didn't think much about it.
Later, she threw a handkerchief at him in the street and he just felt embarrassed.
Later, when they met at Qingguang Temple, she rode on him and pressed his hand on her... that place...
A strange change occurred in his mind towards Princess Qinghe...
How could a hot-blooded young man bear this!
He had a very shameful dream that night... He felt that it was a blasphemy against women and was wrong.
Firstly, I was ashamed to see her.
Secondly, I really don’t want to be a son-in-law.
Being a royal son-in-law is not that easy.
His ambition is to fight on the battlefield like his grandfather and father, expand the territory for Da'an, defend the country, become a famous general, and bring honor to the family.
However, if he married the princess and became a duke, he would have to give up his ambitions and become a rich and idle man.
In the previous dynasty, there was a precedent of a royal consort holding great power and eventually committing a rebellion, so there was a law in Da'an that anyone who married a daughter of a royal family member could not serve as an official in the court.
"Gu Jin, you wouldn't be the one who looked at my body and thought that I wasn't plump enough, so you avoided me like the plague?" Princess Qinghe could only think of this possibility.
Gu Jin hurriedly shook his head, "The princess is very good... I am not worthy of her kindness..."
