Chapter 160: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 39 (End)
If it is said that Wei Lingyu in the previous life was the undisputed number one in the palace's backyard after Gu Li's death, that was only on the surface.
Wei Lingyu has always had a heart for career regardless of her past and present life, but Chen Wan'er is different. She comes from a wealthy merchant family, and she has everything that Wei Lingyu worked hard for.
There were shops, fields, gold, silver and jade, so many that the prince could not spend them all in several lifetimes.
Compared with Wei Lingyu, Chen Wan'er, who has no official background, is the one Liu Bojiao likes the most.
Wei Lingyu borrowed the power of the Prince's Mansion and the money she earned to help the Wei family move to a higher level. With the support of her mother's family, she was able to appear to be more powerful than Chen Wan'er.
Chen Wan'er's merchant background and the not-so-honorable way she came to the palace destined her to stay out of the spotlight.
In her previous life, Chen Wan'er was sneaked into the mansion by Liu Baijiao in the fourth year after Liu Baijiao's wedding.
At that time, Chen Wan'er had already given birth to a son for Xiang Yi.
After being brought into the palace by Liu Baijiao, she gave birth to two sons for Liu Baijiao. Her position in the palace was more stable than that of Gu Li, who was the princess of a county at that time.
It is true that Gu Li's early death in the previous life was caused by Wei Lingyu, but it was Chen Wan'er who planned it behind the scenes.
In addition, Liu Bojiao's misunderstanding and neglect of Gu Li were all due to Chen Wan'er's instigation.
Gu Li came to this life for revenge, so of course she would not let them go easily.
It was just that the grievances and grudges of the previous life were also due to Gu Li's own weakness and incompetence, so Gu Li did not rely on his ability as a prophet to kill them directly.
But with proper guidance, the final outcome still depends on themselves.
Just like Wei Lingyu, although she took Gu Li's life in the previous life, because of her talent, Gu Li exposed her to the emperor and broke off her marriage with Liu Baijiao.
Unfortunately, two months ago, a huge explosion occurred at the military training ground in Xijiao Daying.
A lot of people were killed in the explosion.
Wei Lingyu was among them and died during the practice of using a new type of explosives.
At that time, Gu Li was greatly relieved. Finally, her change would not bring forward the era of hot weapons.
Now it’s Chen Waner.
The current Princess Consort is no longer the weak and vulnerable Gu Li, but the decisive and vicious Zhang Jinwei.
Gu Li had someone reveal Chen Wan'er's identity to Zhang Jinwei and no longer cared about the affairs of Xiyuan. She began to pack up and prepare to move.
The rest of the battlefield is left to Zhang Jinwei.
-----
Two months later.
Gu Li, who was taking a nap in the county lady's mansion, was awakened by the murmuring sounds outside. She lazily turned over and faced outside, "Bai Lu Bai Shuang, come in."
After being raised for more than two months, Bai Lu finally started working. She was in charge of the county lord's warehouse. She had a lot of free time, so she was happy to find out some gossip to help her master pass the time when she was bored.
All I can say is that like master, like maid.
Bai Lu was the first to lift the curtain and come in, telling the news from the Prince's Mansion, with a look of contempt on her face without any sign of restraint.
Aunt Wan, who had just been in the Prince's Mansion for two months, was diagnosed with being more than two months pregnant.
The servants in the mansion originally thought that the prince loved concubine Chongwan too much, so he went against the ancestral teachings and made the concubine pregnant before the legitimate son was born.
But the prince did not seem happy. He beat and punished the two maids who served the concubine personally, scolded the palace doctor, and finally invited an imperial physician to treat the concubine Wan.
More than two months pregnant!
Chen Wan'er has only been in the mansion for two months. Excluding the time when Chen Wan'er was injured and recuperating, this child cannot be Liu Bojiao's in any way.
Thinking of the eldest son of the Xiang family who had the help of the Prince's Mansion to squeeze into the Imperial College to study in the previous life, Gu Li felt that even if Liu Bojiao was lucky, he would only wait for seven or eight months, and when the child was born, he would give up.
Xiang Jia Dalang and Xiang Yi look very similar, as if they were carved from the same mold.
Liu Baijiao did not give up and really waited for the day when Chen Wan'er would be ready to marry.
Zhang Jinwei was sitting in the study room of Chengde Courtyard, buried in the account book. When she heard the nanny's report, she waved her hand and asked people to leave without even raising her head.
It’s not Liu Bojiao’s child, so it’s not worth her worrying about it. Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether the child can be born safely.
Everything she has belongs only to her children, and the Prince's Mansion is no exception.
----
Chen Wan'er's child suddenly disappeared the day before the full moon, and Chen Wan'er had a big fight with Liu Bojiao.
Chen Wan'er said that Liu Bojiao stole her child, but Liu Bojiao did not admit it.
When Gu Li got the news, she had already married Chu Yansheng. Because Chu Yansheng had no self-control, he would secretly take his maid back to his county lord's mansion every now and then to hide from people.
Chu Yansheng, who came directly to the county lord's mansion under the imperial decree, heard Bai Lu's exaggerated story before he even entered the house.
"Okay, all of you go down. Don't bother your county lady with the dirty things in the Prince's Mansion in the future." Chu Yansheng said as he walked towards the beautiful young woman lying on the chaise longue, opened his arms to hug her, and squeezed smoothly onto the couch.
He didn't care at all whether there was anyone else in the room and just wanted to make moves.
Gu Li held down the restless big hand, "You, why are you here?" He was still wearing official uniform, and it was obvious that he came here directly without even going back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Upon seeing this, the two maids lowered their heads and quickly retreated, gently closing the door for their master.
Chu Yansheng tilted his head and nuzzled Gu Li's neck. He drank two glasses of wine last night and was a little reckless at night, which made the county lady cry.
He guessed that Gu Li would definitely run away today, so he asked people to pay attention to the whereabouts of the county princess early on. As long as the county princess returned to the county princess's mansion, he would send someone to the yamen to inform him.
He goes wherever the county lord is.
It is said that Chu Yansheng’s current official position is thanks to Gu Li.
Because Prince Chu solved a major case in just two days and caught the emperor's eye, he was sent to the Dali Temple and became the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
The emperor personally granted him the official position, which dispelled the suspicion and suppression of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Chu Yansheng, wearing the scarlet official uniform, looked more serious and solemn, which made him more handsome. His former dandy image was like a gecko's broken tail, which was thrown away and not worth mentioning.
But Gu Li, her partner, doesn't think so.
This guy does have some of the shadow of a dandy, otherwise how could he have pretended to be so authentic all those years.
But now he had directed all his debauchery on her alone.
Very clingy.
Gu Li was getting a little impatient with him. She stepped back from Chu Yansheng's arms with difficulty, "Chu Yansheng, don't forget that our marriage is a cooperative one. You married me to dispel the emperor's suspicion of your family."
Too clingy.
Gu Li was confused by his current affectionate behavior, and felt as if he couldn't live without her.
Chu Yansheng used his arms to push the person back into his arms, resting his chin on the top of Gu Li's head, completely holding her in his arms.
"I can't deny the reasons at that time. But I married you just because I wanted to marry you."
A kiss fell silently on the top of Gu Li's head, and Chu Yansheng said again: "Let's talk about deeds, not hearts. My lady, just wait and see how much your husband likes you in the years to come!"
Gu Li curled her lips, nestled into his broad chest, quietly listened to the man's pounding heartbeat, and said nothing more.
Although he didn't know why Gu Li had always paid so much attention to Liu Baijiao's wives and concubines, he had already determined one thing, that is, Gu Li had no feelings for Liu Baijiao, and even the love between them was pitifully weak.
Then the rest is probably just his gossip factor of the county lady. Who let Liu Bojiao be so undisciplined in eating and drinking and stuffing all kinds of women into his house?
Since the county lord wanted to hear it, he paid more attention to the Prince's Mansion and knew more details than Bai Lu and Bai Shuang.
He said: "Chen Wan'er's son was hidden by Zhang Jinwei. If you want, I will let Chu Yi----"
"I don't want it. What do I need someone else's child for?" Gu Li immediately refused with disgust.
Chu Yansheng laughed softly and coaxed gently, "Yes, we will have our own children. Who wants to look at other people's furry babies?"
The hot big hands touched the flat belly, stroking it, with a faint sign of going deeper.
Gu Li felt dizzy from the heat and forgot the angry oath she made when she got up early. She succumbed to Chu Yansheng's teasing and climbed onto his neck, wanting more.
A charming room.
At this time, the Prince's Mansion was in chaos. The servants were trembling with fear and everyone was in danger.
After waking up, Chen Wan'er shouted that the child was stolen by Zhang Jinwei, and asked Liu Baijiao to ask the princess for the child.
For the first time, Liu Bojiao stood on the same side as Zhang Jinwei, saying that if the child was gone, it was gone, and she would have more children in the future.
Chen Wan'er went to meet Zhang Jinwei alone.
After returning from the main courtyard, she never mentioned the child again. After washing and dressing up, she returned to her usual gentle and obedient self.
Zhang Jinwei used her son to threaten her to be obedient, and she had no choice but to surrender until she was able to overwhelm Zhang Jinwei.
She wants to consolidate her favor, she wants to give birth to a child for Liu Bojiao----
The confrontation between the two women in the Prince's Mansion has already begun, but it has nothing to do with the county lady who is tired and asleep.
