Chapter 214: Getting married! Preparing to leave Beijing!
Three days later.
Xiling Marquis Mansion.
The news that the royal family was helping Gu Jingzhi organize his wedding spread throughout the capital in an instant.
The Marquis’ Mansion is decorated with lights and is so festive!
However, Gu Jingzhi didn't have many acquaintances in the capital, let alone Chen Yu's family. The document of severing the relationship presided over by the emperor was also filed with the government.
Therefore, Chen Yu has no maternal family either.
After much deliberation, the two decided to invite Wei Xuan as their teacher, and then Lin Feng brought Liu Sandao and a few others to prepare a small but exquisite family dinner.
Under Wei Xuan's auspices, Gu Jingzhi married Chen Yu!
To be honest, for a marquis like him, the wedding was quite simple. However, Gu Jingzhi didn't care. All those who could come today were his relatives and friends.
However, after the ceremony, many people came to give gifts.
It wasn't just other people, but those founding dukes and marquises, and those who had some connections with him like Li Gefei, and those nobles in the Hanlin Academy.
Gu Jingzhi held a family dinner, but they were too embarrassed to come to celebrate. Gu Jingzhi was going to leave for the northwest after the wedding, so they didn't come to disturb him at this time!
Instead, the emperor sent someone over, who, in addition to a handwritten letter, also granted Chen Yu the title of a second-rank county lady.
Although the wedding was simple, it became the envy of everyone in the capital!
……
The next morning.
The couple, who had been married for a long time, had no difficulty getting up and got up early in the morning.
There were no elders in the mansion who needed to be met, so after Gu Jingzhi and Chen Yu got up and washed up, Jiang Feng brought everyone from the mansion to meet Chen Yu, the newly appointed mistress of the mansion.
Looking at Chen Yu's luxurious imperial makeup and her already extraordinary appearance, Tao'er and the others were envious.
As Chen Yao's concubines, they had not yet been brought into the house, so naturally they could not compare with Chen Yu, whose marriage was arranged by the emperor and whose wedding was organized by the royal family.
The morning passed in a hurry.
After Liu Sandao and the others met Chen Yu, they pulled Chen Yao aside and said, "Sir, His Majesty has ordered you to patrol the northwest. When do you plan to set off?"
"In three days!"
Gu Jingzhi thought about it and said directly.
He had just gotten married, and the emperor's decision was hasty. He was not prepared at all, and it would be too hasty to set off immediately.
And there is the prince...
This brother was deposed by Emperor Xia without any special title. In addition to being the deposed crown prince, the crown princess's family was also implicated. They were stripped of their titles and military positions, and were exiled to Ningzhou along with the crown prince's family.
After hearing this, Liu Sandao said immediately, "In that case, I will have someone notify the Prince's Mansion and we will set off in three days!"
"Ok!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded, then warned: "Now that the crown prince has been deposed, avoid gossip. From now on, just call him Your Highness and don't let others talk about you!"
"Also, things will certainly be turbulent after we go to the northwest. Has Your Majesty designated any imperial guards?"
"Someone has already chosen!"
Liu Sandao said with a smile: "It is Brother Lin who is leading the imperial guard this time! His Majesty really values him so much that he leads a guard of 3,000 men for the first time!"
"Ha! I didn't expect it to be this kid!"
Gu Jingzhi said with a smile, and then said: "You are the judge of Ningzhou this time. You must integrate the land of Ningzhou well in the future. Don't make any mistakes!"
"Don't worry, sir. I saved it!"
"Okay! If you have nothing else to do, go down first!"
Gu Jingzhi held Chen Yu's hand. They were newlyweds, yet they still had to discuss official business with these bosses.
Liu Sandao looked at Gu Jingzhi's actions and left with a smile.
After he left, Chen Yu took Gu Jingzhi's hand and said with concern, "My husband, the crown prince has been deposed, but His Majesty has asked you to tour the northwest at this time and even bestowed upon you the Great Xia Dragon Bird. In the future..."
Although she didn't pay much attention to what was happening in the court, she knew that from this moment on, Gu Jingzhi had been labeled as the crown prince. If the crown prince failed in the future, their family would inevitably be implicated!
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty has made such an arrangement. What can we, as ministers, do? Fortunately, the Duke of Ying proposed a three-year agreement in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. As long as this matter can be confirmed within these three years, the Crown Prince will still be the legitimate heir!"
"That being said, the Crown Prince is powerless now, and the Crown Princess's family has been stripped of their titles and official positions. Right now, the only one who can wield the power in your hands is you, my husband! But no matter what... you can only influence the entire northwest region. Who knows where Jin Lehuang has gone!"
What Chen Yu said was correct.
But there was nothing he could do at the moment. Gu Jingzhi said silently, "I am also very curious. Jin Lehuang's whereabouts are unknown, but His Majesty asked me to inspect the northwest. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is to get me to help the Crown Prince!"
"This one……"
Chen Yu frowned and asked, "Your Majesty's Inner Guard has spies all over the world. My dear husband, is it possible that Jin Lehuang is in Ningzhou or the northwest border?"
"I've heard you say before that what she did was simply to stir up chaos in Daxia. Now that she's lost her disguise in the capital, she can only move from the open to the covert."
"If we talk about causing chaos in the world, the method she used in the capital is one of them. The only other method is to start from the border!"
"Ningzhou was once the land of the Yun Kingdom. Who knows what secrets are hidden there!"
After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi suddenly had an idea in his mind. He had previously consulted a large amount of information about Ningzhou because of the matter of his biological mother and the Lin family. After Chen Yu's reminder, he seemed to have thought of something!
Chen Yu looked at Gu Jingzhi and saw that he looked thoughtful. She couldn't help but ask, "Husband, have you thought of anything?"
"Ok!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded, then whispered something in her ear, then raised his head and said, "Twenty years have passed since the Ningzhou incident. If you want to know more clearly, you can talk to your grandparents!"
"The Lin family is a well-established family in Ningzhou. I believe they can help my husband!"
Chen Yu didn't have much access to things in the Chen family before, but since being taken in by Gu Jingzhi, she began to catch up on all aspects of things.
She knew that she was just a concubine's daughter abandoned by the Chen family, and she had a younger brother by her side. If she could not be someone who could help her husband's family, she would not have the face to occupy the position of the wife.
After all, all the glory she has now is due to Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Jingzhi heard her words and smiled, "We're going to see Grandpa soon. You should take a good rest these days. I'm afraid we'll have to spend the next month on the trip!"
"Well, I'll prepare some warm clothes with Tao'er and Jian'er later!"
Chen Yu nodded slightly, then left.
Gu Jingzhi looked at his back and sighed softly in his heart!
