In fact, after Gu Xien was born, the princess took her daughter to live alone in the princess mansion, and Gu Jinghong was not allowed to visit the princess mansion again.Gu Jinghong was driven back to the Gu family and lived with his two concubines who were upgraded from maidservants in the same house, and his two concubines.

It stands to reason that the princess's man is not allowed to take concubines. The Gu family has insulted the princess' dignity first, so the princess is understandably angry. However, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. In fact, the public opinion is in favor of the Gu family, thinking that the princess is making too much fuss.

In the eyes of men in the world, whether they are corrupt officials or celebrities, most of them believe that a wife who cannot tolerate her husband taking concubines and doting on maids is not a good wife. This view eventually even formed a law, which is the "Seven Outcomes" specifically for women. Four of the seven outbursts are "jealousy" - they believe that a jealous wife will disrupt the family, cause family disharmony, and be harmful to the continuation of the family bloodline.

Under this dogma of "the husband is the guide for the wife", even a woman who is a princess cannot escape the condemnation of the world if she wants to be monogamous.

The eldest princess Shengping was unwilling to give in, but in the end her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned against each other. The couple separated, and they had to live alone in the princess mansion with their daughter.

In the final analysis, this is just a poor woman entrusting her only daughter to others.

As an entrusted person, Yuan Pingzhi suddenly felt a sense of responsibility - Xuan Yu said that he was called Danpants, but in fact he was too soft-hearted and would suffer sooner or later. If he met a cunning person, he would be manipulated by that person, so Xuan Yu could not ignore him.

Yuan Pingzhi disagreed in his heart, thinking that whether it was his parents, brother, or emperor, they all seemed to regard him as a fool who was stupid and rich and could be easily bullied, lest he be taken advantage of by others.

Yuan Pingzhi thought for a while, but in the end he did not easily agree to the princess. He just replied tactfully: "If you count, Miss Gu and I can be considered distant relatives. Even if we are not husband and wife, I will take care of her."

The princess's face darkened, obviously dissatisfied with his perfunctory answer.

Seeing the helplessness and despair in the princess's eyes, Yuan Pingzhi gritted his teeth and added: "Miss Gu is still young after all, and it will take a few years to get married. If we really become husband and wife by then, I will not let her down."

Having reached this point, the princess also knew that it was hard to do anything for others. She nodded and said, "Although I am a loving mother and have plans for my daughter, it is still difficult for you. It was Xi'en who chose you in the end, not me, so no matter what happens in the future, I will not resent you. I am very grateful that you can agree to take care of Xi'en at this time."

Because of the maverick nature of Princess Shengping, she was not very popular in the aristocratic social circle of Jinling, and there were only a handful of people who could ask for help.

Her time has come, and thinking about her daughter who will be lonely in the future, the princess who has been stubborn all her life cannot help crying silently.

Chapter 2(1)

Yuan Pingzhi thought that there was still time and room for negotiation between himself and Gu Xien's marriage, but he never expected that he had just been released from the Princess's Mansion, and what he would see when he returned home was the Yuan Mansion's red and green decorations, lanterns and festoons, and the bright red "Happy" words almost blinded him.

He asked the scholar Yin Zi: "What happy event is happening in the house?"

Yinzi shook his head stupidly and said, "I don't know."

Following Jin Zi, he ran around here and there, asking for news, and then he ran up to Yuan Pingzhi out of breath, saying with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master, it turns out to be your wedding."

Yuan Pingzhi stretched out his hand and hit him on the back of the head, "What nonsense are you talking about? This young master is overjoyed, but he doesn't know it?"

Shao Wu, the guard, pinched his chin and analyzed seriously: "According to my subordinates' observation, it was probably the eldest princess who forced the marriage. While she was still alive, she hurriedly married her daughter over, and the young master had no way out."

Yuan Pingzhi nodded and said, "Xiao Wu's words are still reasonable. My cousin's men really don't eat for free."

Silver and gold protested together, saying in unison: "Are we just eating for free?"

Yuan Pingzhi spat at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense, come and see the excitement, young master!"

Jin Zi reluctantly muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid this excitement is not good to see."

Shao Wu shook his head. Seeing that the young master was the master, he didn't have any prestige at all. No wonder everyone liked to bully him. His little wife was even sent to his door, and he didn't take it seriously.

Yuanfu, Wengluo Pavilion.

The night was getting late, and the Yuan Mansion, which had been noisy all day, gradually became quiet. Only in the hall in the outer courtyard where guests were entertained, there were still many servants quickly picking up the leftovers.

Today is the wedding day of the former fourth young master. Although the wedding was held suddenly, people in the capital were well-informed. As the wedding was held, dignitaries and wealthy businessmen and gentry came one after another with congratulatory gifts. They all arrived in a hurry.For fear of missing the great opportunity to curry favor with the Yuan Mansion, when they walked to the door of the Yuan Mansion, they all seemed so unhurried and well-behaved, which made those watching the excitement marvel and secretly thought: This is a big shot, and he gives gifts so calmly and gracefully.

Although the gift-givers were caught off guard by the good news, the one who was most shocked was the Fourth Young Master Yuan himself. Until now, the night was deep, and Yuan Pingzhi was sitting in the bridal chamber, still feeling in a trance, like he was in a dream - today was actually more fulfilling and busier for him than in the past twenty years.

When he was first forcibly "invited" to the eldest princess's mansion, Yuan Pingzhi looked leisurely. Although he was told that he was "engaged" and had a fiancée, he didn't take it too seriously because he felt that Gu Xi'en was only twelve years old and of course it was impossible to get married immediately.And if the eldest princess passes away later, Gu Xien will be able to delay his filial piety for at least three more years. During these three years, if he feels that the little girl is not what he wants, there are always one hundred and one ways to cancel the engagement. Anyway, in the end, he will just help the little girl find a good husband, and he has not personally promised that the husband must be himself.

But why did things suddenly take a turn for the worse and get out of control?

After Yuan Pingzhi returned from the eldest princess's mansion, he was immediately dragged by Xi Niang to freshen up and change clothes. He put on the red groom's clothes, and then he realized that he might have fallen into a big trap. This trap must have been jointly designed by his parents, the emperor, and the eldest princess. The purpose was to catch him off guard. When he couldn't react, they forced him to marry the bride and worship the flower hall. They cut the knot with a knife and cooked the rice, leaving him no time to prepare for resistance.

There was nothing he could do about it. He had too many bad records in the past. The Yuan family started discussing marriages when he was thirteen years old, and he personally messed up more than a dozen marriages. His parents really couldn't stand this "willful" son.In addition, he has passed the crowning this year and has truly become an adult, but he is still hanging around and playing in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou. Yuan Beigu and Zheng were probably determined to control their son's temperament and let him "get married" first, and then slowly think about "establishing a career".

Speaking of which, Yuan Beigu and Zheng really doted on their youngest son. Yuan Pingzhi didn't want to get married and looked down on ordinary girls, so they let him pick and choose for so many years. However, his parents' patience always had limits and they would not let him continue to choose like this for the rest of his life. When he couldn't choose a suitable wife for himself, his parents took action decisively when they couldn't bear it anymore.

Yuan Pingzhi rubbed his eyebrows. Today, he was being pushed around like a top. He had no idea of ​​his own. Even if he wanted to run away in the middle, he was stopped by the guards of the Yuan Mansion.This whole day of welcoming the bride, visiting the court, accompanying guests with drinks, and seeing off guests, from morning to night, has exhausted the fourth young master who has always been pampered. Now he is slumped on the big back chair in the bridal chamber, with his eyes closed and not wanting to move. He only feels that even his fingers are numb.

The physical exhaustion was secondary. Thanks to his diligent martial arts training since childhood, his physical strength was still good. The most important thing was that his mind was in chaos, and the mental exhaustion was uncomfortable.

Just got married like this?

With a yellow-haired little girl who has just turned twelve years old and has only met a few times?

How can this make the Fourth Young Master, who has always been known as the "Feng Yue Little Overlord" in Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, feel embarrassed?Won't those friends who meet him in the future laugh at him to death?
