First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 956: Newlywed Life (Second Update)

 At Fushouyuan, Mrs. Gu got up early. She dressed up and sat in the main hall, well-dressed, waiting for her grandson and granddaughter-in-law to come and pay their respects to her.

 As a result, no one came until the sun was up, so she burst into laughter.

 Mother Zhang looked at her strangely: "Old Madam..."

Mrs. Gu covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "Who was on duty in Changqing's yard last night? Called him here."

Mammy Zhang went to Gu Changqing's yard and called a nanny named Wu, who was the one who fetched water and rope for Gu Changqing.

After entering Fushouyuan, Mother Wu immediately reported to Mrs. Gu that the prince asked for water and various props several times during the night: "...I didn't realize that the prince is quite good at twisting things."

Mrs. Gu's smile dropped when she heard this, and she frowned and said, "You didn't hurt anyone, did you?"

Her grandson must not have such a weird habit. If word spreads, his reputation will be ruined. Besides, the grandson's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Yuan family, and she is a truly noble lady.

 If something goes wrong, don't explain it to the Yuan family.

Madam Zhang glanced at her master. She had served the old lady for many years. She knew the old lady's character very well. The old lady valued family background the most. No matter how gentle her temperament was, she would not look down on women from lower family backgrounds. For example, Yao Shi.

 But for the daughter of a noble family, the old lady’s tolerance is much higher.

The old lady was a little angry when she failed to marry into the Ling family. However, when she heard that she was going to marry Yuan Shoufu's granddaughter, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared instantly.

 Mother Wu did not dare to say anything.

She didn’t know if it was bad or not. She couldn’t go in and take a look. Even by listening, there was quite a lot of movement.

 Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Old madam, don't worry. You don't know the prince yet? He is a caring person."

 “You go down.” Mrs. Gu said to Aunt Wu.

 “Yes.” Grandma Wu withdrew respectfully.

Mrs. Gu said worriedly: "Isn't this really going to cause some trouble..."

"No." Nanny Zhang smiled and handed Mrs. Gu a cup of tea to calm her shock.

Mrs. Gu took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I heard that Pauline is a talented woman."

Her grandson was going to marry the daughter of the Yuan family, so she naturally had to carefully check the details of the other party. If she didn't check, she wouldn't know. When she checked, she was shocked to find out that the girl was well-read in poetry and books, and was proficient in six languages.

 In the past, it was rumored in the capital that Wen Linlang was the most talented woman, but compared with Yuan Baolin, she was not good at all.

 Yuan Baolin is just a low-key person, not showing off her appearance or revealing anything, but it is this unassuming temperament that makes her more and more favored by Mrs. Gu.

 Aunt Zhang smiled.

 To put it bluntly, the prince's wife is from a good background, not to mention that she is really a talented woman. Even if she is not, the old lady will not mind.

On the other hand, if she was not from a good background and was astonishing to the world with her talent, the old lady would not say a good word about her.

Mrs. Gu said: "Go to Changqing's courtyard and deliver a message to them, telling them not to come to say hello and have a good rest."

 Mother Zhang said hesitantly: "Madam's side..."

Madam is the Yao family. For Gu Changqing's wedding, the Yao family temporarily moved back to the mansion and would not go back until she had had her daughter-in-law's tea.

Mrs. Gu hummed: "You don't have to worry about her, she won't care about it."

It is one thing that Mrs. Gu doesn't want to see Yao, but it is another thing to understand Yao's personality. There is no way that Yao will try to challenge her daughter-in-law.

 …

As soon as Gu Changqing woke up, he felt someone nestling in his arms. He was dizzy for a moment, and then the unspeakable memories in his mind swept over him like waves.

 When he realized what he had done, he wanted to punch himself.

Yuan Baolin woke up later than Gu Changqing. When she opened her eyes, Gu Changqing was no longer in the room. Her clothes were intact and she didn't know who put them on.

She planned to ask her maid to come in to serve her, but found that her voice was so hoarse that she could not speak. She wanted to get out of bed by herself, and her legs were no longer her own.

Gu Changqing pushed the door open and entered.

The moonlight chased behind him, and his face was shrouded in darkness, but his clear outline was still visible.

Having practiced martial arts all year round, he is tall and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his body proportions are excellent.

 He ​​was holding a bowl of barley porridge in his hand. When he saw the curtain was opened and Yuan Baolin was sitting on the bed in embarrassment, his eyes moved and he said calmly: "You're awake."

Yuan Baolin nodded.

Gu Changqing stepped inside and closed the door.

 “I hold the lamp.” He asked her for advice.

Yuan Baolin pinched her throat and asked in a hoarse voice: "Isn't it daylight yet?"

Gu Changqing opened his mouth: "It's already dark."

Yuan Baolin made a big blush.

Gu Changqing said in a normal tone: "Don't worry, the elders have already said hello and Yuan Pa has taken it away. Grandma is very happy."

His original intention was to make Yuan Baolin feel at ease, but when Yuan Pa said that sentence, both of them felt embarrassed.

.

"That, that." Yuan Baolin blushed and did not dare to look at Gu Changqing's expression.

Gu Changqing is not much calmer than her, but he is a man after all, and he cannot awkwardly deny what he has done.

He was holding barley porridge and said seriously: "What happened last night was my fault. I broke the promise first. I will not marry another person in the future, nor will I fall in love with anyone. If you want to leave, you can make peace at any time; if If there is no more suitable destination, I will be responsible for you to the end."

Yuan Baolin raised her eyes and looked at him for a moment: "Are you really... not going to like anyone?"

"No." Gu Changqing said firmly, "You can rest assured."

Yuan Baolin lowered her eyes, her voice a little disappointed: "Oh."

 “Drink the porridge first.” Gu Changqing said to her.

He is a straight man and didn't notice anything wrong with Yuan Baolin's tone. He just thought that her gloomy look was because she was angry with him last night.

She didn't agree to hold the lamp just now, so Gu Changqing walked to the bed in disbelief.

 Fortunately, there was a weak candlelight in the corridor, and there was also a cool, clear moonlight in the night sky, so I could still see it.

 He handed her the porridge bowl.

 “Feed me.” Yuan Baolin whispered.

Gu Changqing was stunned.

Yuan Baolin said aggrievedly: "I don't have the strength, it's you who bothered me."

Gu Changqing: “…”

 …

The next day, Yuan Baolin finally got up early after sleeping all day and night. Because it was too early, the old marquis had not left for the military camp yet.

 She and Gu Changqing went to pay their respects to the old Marquis.

This marriage was arranged by the old Marquis himself. He was very satisfied with Yuan Baolin. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not treat Yuan Baolin harshly.

“Changqing, please take good care of Paulin. Don’t bully her.” He said to Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing cupped his hands and said, "Yes, grandson, please remember this."

 “Go and pay your respects to your grandmother,” said the old Marquis.

Yuan Baolin said sweetly: "Grandpa, Paulin has resigned and will come to see you another day."

"Um."

This sound made my grandfather very happy.

 The two of them went to Fushouyuan to pay their respects to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu took Yuan Baolin's hand and looked left and right. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

 She is already very beautiful in the portrait, but she is even more beautiful in person.

Yuan Baolin successfully played the role of a virtuous and well-behaved grandson-in-law with her strong advantage as a level 10 storybook reader.

Mrs. Gu was coaxed from ear to ear and gave Yuan Baolin five sets of masks in one breath.

Yuan Baolin had never seen any gold and silver jewelry, but she was still flattered and said: "Grandma, this is too valuable, Paulin can't accept it!"

Mrs. Gu patted the back of her hand and said, "Take it! You have to take it! You, please spread the branches and leaves of the Gu family as soon as possible. I'm still waiting to have a big, fat little great-grandson!"

Yuan Baolin smiled: “Paulin will work hard.”

Gu Changqing, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, couldn't help but choked.

 After leaving Fushouyuan, the two went to Yao's side.

Mr. Gu Hou is also here.

Mr. Yao likes Yuan Baolin very much, not because of her background, but because of her temperament. She is different from the daughters of other families. She has a calm side and a cute side. She is smart but not perverse, straightforward and has no edges. She is very similar to the people in Bishui Hutong. hit it off.

 “Pauline has met her father and her mother.”

Yuan Baolin gave them a gift.

Gu Changqing also saluted the two of them: "Father...Mother."

Since Yao married into the Marquis Mansion, Gu Changqing has always addressed her as his wife. This was the first time that he called her mother.

Yao Shi looked at Gu Changqing blankly, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.

Yuan Baolin glanced at the two of them and pulled Gu Changqing's sleeve: "Is it time to serve tea to my parents?"

Gu Changqing's eyelashes trembled: "Yes."

The servant poured the tea over, and the two of them knelt on the mat and held the tea cup with both hands.

When Gu Changqing handed a cup of tea to Yao, he solemnly and sincerely said: "Mother, please drink tea."

He really called her mother, not because his ears were broken.

Yao suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, and a layer of sourness rose up on the tip of his nose.

 She had not expected anything from the day she married into the Marquis Mansion, and she had not expected anything since then. However, at this moment, she still felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

Mr. Gu looked at her intently. She slowly reached out her hand, took the teacup brought by her eldest son, and smiled with red eyes: "Hey."

Yuan Baolin's proficiency in six languages ​​is described in Chapter 256 "Three Hairpin Flowers".
