C33 Make you a side wife
The emperor's slow and dignified voice sounded out: "He Yiyu."
Although He Yiyu was being rude, when he heard the emperor call her, he did not dare act rashly. He could only respectfully kneel down and cry, "Your majesty, I am the ruler."
"Which family's young man is unromantic? Yi Mo might have done something wrong, but he didn't lie to you."
He Yiyu raised his head in shock.
"He agreed to marry you, and didn't say that he would make you the Chief Imperial Concubine. In fact, he had also mentioned this before, it was We who made him suppress it, marry Gu Qingruo first, and then we'll grant you the title of lateral concubine. After all, Gu Qingruo is born with a higher status than you, how can you be allowed to enter the sect? "
F * ck me! This round robin was not fake at all! Gu Qingli thought to himself, when I entered, Xiao Yixiu had a lateral concubine and a bunch of wives!
But Imperial Concubine Ling immediately looked at the emperor with eyes full of gratitude, and Xiao Yimo's expression also eased up. This concerned the dignity of the imperial family, how could the royal father watch him make a fool of himself in front of others?
He Yiyu was also stunned there for a long time without uttering a word.
"How about this, let the two of them finish paying their respects first. We promise you that we will give you and Yi Mo your marriage one day and make you the lateral concubine."
He Yiyu was dumbstruck and did not know what to do, and did not speak for a long time.
Imperial Concubine Ling was slightly angered: "Why aren't you thanking me?" In her heart, she hated this daughter-in-law who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't react in time, she would have cared not for this woman's womb. She wanted to kill this slut!
"Oh ?" He Yiyu panicked and no longer had any ideas.
Although this result wasn't as satisfactory as she had imagined, at least the Emperor bestowing the marriage was still better than having no name and no children.
A farce actually ended like this. Gu Qingli thought that Xiao Yixiu would be extremely disappointed, but when his gaze landed on him, he realized that there was a smile flowing in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to it. Could he have expected such an outcome? Then, he had only caused Xiao Yimo to make a fool of himself, and he would let it go just like that?
That's right, there was no fool present who was able to tell that the emperor had deliberately saved the matter by mediating. He also clearly understood that even though he had announced this matter for the sake of the imperial family's dignity, the impression he had of Xiao Yimo in his heart must be greatly reduced.
However, such an outcome should still be a distance away from Xiao Yixiu's vicious attitude.
Gu Qingruo was unwilling to accept this, so he covered her head with the hood once again. In that instant, Gu Qingli saw the hatred and malicious intent from the bottom of her eyes shoot towards He Yiyu.
As for the pitiful and slightly crazy He Yiyu, he was surprisingly calm at this moment. There were traces of a smile on his face that were difficult to detect, and his eyes that hadn't backed off in the slightest facing Gu Qingruo.
This He Yiyu, was not simple!
Gu Qingli's heart shivered. The happy news of Xiao Yimo and his wedding had already spread throughout the capital a few months ago, He Yiyu really wanted to make a ruckus. Wait until today, Xiao Yixiu had only released this chess piece today, it would not be as simple as taking Xiao Yimo's face off during a wedding!
Before the wedding banquet ended, the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine Ling left first. The guests then began to disperse.
Seeing that the emperor was unreadable when he left, Gu Qingli felt that Xiao Yixiu at least achieved the goal of suppressing Xiao Yimo in the heart of the emperor.
Gu Qingli stepped into the carriage with Xiao Yixiu's support, when he suddenly heard a call: "Second Sister!"
She turned around and saw Gu Qingxiao, her third sister, looking at them from afar. She was extremely surprised in her heart. When had this Third Sister ever called her "Second Sister" with a face full of gentleness? Thus, he could only coldly nod his head.
Gu Qingxiao did not seem to mind her attitude, she only bowed slightly, then smiled at Xiao Yixiu: "Second brother-in-law."
Surprisingly, she was not called "Prince Mo", this intimate "Second Brother-in-law" made Gu Qingli's hair stand on end.
Looking at Xiao Yixiu, his usually gentle and refined smile was hanging on the corner of his lips, he nodded towards Gu Qingxiao, causing her face to turn red, and lowered her head slightly.
Only Gu Qingli knew, that other than smiling, he could not look at anyone else. His gaze that swept past may not have been able to clearly see Gu Qingxiao, and was holding onto her hand as she got into the carriage.
When Gu Qingxiao raised her face with a bashful smile, the carriage had already started rumbling loudly.
"Do you want to vent your anger?"
In the carriage, Xiao Yixiu suddenly spoke out.
Gu Qingli was startled, and raised his head to look at him.
The Glazed Wind Lamp was hanging inside the carriage. It moved with the shaking of the carriage, casting light on his face. It was like a mist or a dream-like mist, causing his eyes to become hazy and hard to distinguish clearly.
She thought for a moment, "What's there to vent your anger on, you've placed a good chess piece beside Xiao Yimo, where did you get it from?"
"This move, I learned it from someone else." He lightly said a few words, then no longer explained himself.
Learning from others? Gu Qingli thought about it again and again, and always felt that something was amiss. What did he say? Was it to stir up a commotion in the wedding hall, or to force He Yiyu to marry Xiao Yimo to Xiao Yimo?
Suddenly, her heart brightened as she sucked in a breath of cold air.
Pregnancy!
What she guessed was wrong, he was referring to He Yiyu's pregnancy!
"Don't tell me that Miss He always hated Xiao Yimo. She bore someone else's child and then chose to stay by his side to spy on him! You... What are you trying to do? "
He looked at her with a profound gaze and sighed softly. "Princess, you shouldn't be too smart. If you're too smart, you can't live for long."
Gu Qingli snorted, in this period of time, she had almost gathered all of the antidote and completely ignored his threats.
She thought about Xin Ziyao's pregnancy. If Xiao Yimo didn't put up any defenses and gave birth to this child that she didn't know where, if he was a male and coincidentally was the eldest son, wouldn't he inherit the throne in the future? In the worst-case scenario, He Yiyu might even cause a ruckus in the prince Mu's mansion or even cause trouble for him to not be able to have any other children.
That Gu Qingruo ? Fragments of a young child's memory appeared in Gu Qingruo's mind. His expression was cold and proud, and the original body was weakly lying on the ground, crying as he raised his face to beg for mercy. Gu Qingxiao clapped his hands and laughed heartily, while a servant was ruthlessly stepping on the back of his hand.
It was just that for a small matter, the three sisters had embroidered a handkerchief together, and she had received the praise of Xiao Yimo, who had come to the General's Estate to visit.
What did a casual compliment count for? Xiao Yimo simply would not mind such a small matter and would forget about it in the blink of an eye. However, the original body had firmly remembered it in her heart, because she had not received any praise during her ice-cold childhood.
Therefore, no matter how Gu Qingruo and Gu Qingxiao trampled over her, stepping on her five fingers, she had never given up on trying to be the Little Red.
She hoped that she would be able to embroider another item that was praised by Xiao Yimo in her lifetime, right? How could she have imagined that the youth who had casually smiled at her was actually the demon of her life, the kind that had cut off her short life.
Serves her right, if He Yiyu could turn prince Mu's mansion into a mess, it was what she wanted. On the other hand, she couldn't understand the emperor's attitude towards her. In the end, he maintained her position as the emperor, but why didn't he stop He Yiyu from talking in the beginning and had her continue speaking?
Without waiting for her to think it through, the carriage had already stopped in front of the Prince Mo's Mansion's entrance.
After returning to his room, he hurriedly changed out of his scarlet clothes and had to go to Xiao Yixiu's place while disguised as Li Yue. She was about to wash her face when she saw her makeup in the water. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously touched the Plum Blossom on her forehead.
So beautiful, she couldn't bear to wash it off at the moment.
