Chapter 743 What about those false reputations
Gu Dashu, who was dragged into this for no reason, quickly brushed it off and said, "Why mention me? I'm just an old hand, and my son is already that old, who would like me? Besides, the girls in Shengjing are proud and arrogant, and they don't like a rough guy like me. They all like scholars like your third brother."
Liu Yue'e's eyes fell on Gu Dashu, meaning that would you be happy if the Shengjing girl didn't think you were a rough guy?
Gu Dashu knew that his wife had gotten something wrong, so he quickly pulled Liu Yue'e back into the house and escaped from the Shura scene.
"I swear to Daddy I didn't."
Gu Jingzhe cried out that he was wronged and was sweating with anxiety. He kept explaining that he had no intention of releasing any charm.
They even dragged out the dead old man Gu.
Gu Taohua threatened Gu Jingzhe: "You'd better not have it. If you dare to give Zhao Xiyue a look, I will dig out your eyeballs."
In Gu Taohua's heart, the third brother is not as good as the third sister-in-law.
If the third brother dares to betray the third sister-in-law, he will be her enemy.
"Zhao Xiyue will go to Longhua Temple in a few days. If she comes to see you again in the next few days, you should hide away." Tong Huaqiong said to Gu Jingzhe, "If she continues to pester you, let's make a big deal out of it. It's not us who will be embarrassed anyway."
In this life, Prince Yu's Mansion and Tong Huaqiong became enemies.
Even if Gu Jingzhe was not married, Prince Yu would never agree to let her marry Gu Jingzhe.
Given Zhao Xiyue's personality, I'm afraid she would be even more unwilling to cling to him once she knew that Gu Jingzhe had married.
But this is much better than playing tricks behind the scenes.
She had already had the experience of fighting with Zhao Xiyue and didn't mind fighting a second time.
When the matter gets out of hand, it will be Prince Yu's Mansion that will be embarrassed.
Maybe in order to save face, Prince Yu would quickly arrange a marriage for Zhao Xiyue, so that Gu Jingzhe would no longer be disturbed by Zhao Xiyue.
Gu Jingzhe went to the Imperial College to attend classes as usual.
After getting off the carriage, he rushed to the classroom.
Gu Jingzhe breathed a sigh of relief as he didn't see Princess Mingyue coming to visit him the whole day.
She thought Princess Mingyue was just acting on impulse and let him go when she learned that he was already married.
After class, Gu Jingzhe rushed home to take care of Lu Zhaozhao as usual. When the carriage reached an alley, it was stopped by another ornately decorated carriage.
Gu Jingzhe's heart sank to the bottom.
"Gu Jingzhe, how about this princess invite you to sit in the teahouse?"
Princess Mingyue got off the carriage, came to Gu Jingzhe's carriage, and pulled open the curtain of the carriage.
She couldn't take her eyes off Gu Jingzhe's face in the setting sun.
Gu Jingzhe said calmly: "Princess, that's not necessary. My wife is pregnant and I need to go home to take care of her."
Princess Mingyue felt sad when she heard this.
"It's just going to a teahouse to have some tea, what are you afraid of? As a man, can't you go out for tea after you get married? Could it be that your wife is a tigress?" Princess Mingyue's words were very impolite.
Gu Jingzhe was furious and said, "I think you are the tigress. Princess Mingyue, please respect yourself and don't make random comments about my wife."
Gu Jingzhe's protection of his wife aroused the anger of Princess Mingyue.
Princess Mingyue frowned and sneered, "If I hadn't been in a good mood these past two days, I would have punished you for disrespecting me. It's your blessing that I invited you to the teahouse for tea. Do you think anyone in Shengjing can drink tea with me?"
Gu Jingzhe was not afraid at all and said, "I don't know if it is a blessing, but I don't want this blessing."
After saying this, he was about to pull up the carriage curtain, but Princess Mingyue grabbed the curtain and didn't move.
Gu Jingzhe raised his voice and angrily asked, "What on earth does the princess want to do?"
Princess Mingyue said with a playful look on her face: "To tell you the truth, this princess has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be my princess."
Gu Jingzhe's pupils widened.
He suspected that Princess Mingyue didn't understand what he was saying. He said he had a wife and that his wife was pregnant. This was a clear rejection, but Princess Mingyue still insisted on pestering him.
He had never seen a woman with such a thick skin.
To Princess Mingyue's eyes, this expression seemed like Gu Jingzhe was stunned by the title of Marquis of the County.
Yes, for a student from the countryside to become a county magistrate, it would be a great honor for him to be crowned as a prince.
Princess Mingyue said proudly: "So what if you get married? I'll ask my father to ask the emperor for an order to marry you and me. Your first wife can be sent back to her hometown. As long as she doesn't come to bother you, I'll ensure that she has enough food and clothing."
"As for the baby in her belly, if it's a daughter, she can be fostered under my name. If it's a son, he can live in the princess's mansion as the eldest son of a concubine."
Gu Jingzhe was so angry that he laughed at these remarks.
The princess has already made arrangements for him and Lu Zhaozhao.
How dare she?
"Is my arrangement good? Don't mind abandoning your wife and children. What's the use of those false names? If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Do you know that Su Chengmin's father, Su Shihang, would still be working hard in the Hanlin Academy if he had not abandoned his original wife in the countryside and married the daughter of the mighty general. You are just a son of a businessman. Do you think that your family will be able to rise to prominence by marrying the crown prince? Don't be ridiculous. Shengjing is more complicated than you can imagine. If you become the princess's concubine, as long as you rank well in the next spring examination, my father can guarantee you a lucrative position. You don't have to spend time in the Hanlin Academy and can directly participate in the government."
After saying this, Princess Mingyue looked at Gu Jingzhe quietly. She didn't believe that Gu Jingzhe would not be moved.
Attending court to discuss government affairs and becoming a prime minister are the ideals of many scholars.
Gu Jingzhe was not really moved. Instead, he wondered if there was something wrong with Princess Mingyue's brain. Why did she choose Su Shihang as an example when there were so many other people to use?
Gu Jingzhe said with a sullen face, suppressing his emotions: "Princess, I don't know how many people in Dasheng want to be a princess, but I know I don't want to be one. I just thought your words were a joke, so please take them back. If you make a big fuss and make others laugh at Prince Yu's mansion, it will affect your reputation."
Princess Mingyue's face turned ugly.
Is Gu Jingzhe losing his mind?
She came to discuss things with him in such a humble manner, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
"Please move aside, my lord."
Gu Jingzhe pulled down the curtain with force and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage away.
Princess Mingyue stamped her feet in anger and wanted the guards to stop the carriage. She wished she could tie Gu Jingzhe back.
After calling for the guards for a long time, he realized that he didn't bring any guards with him at all.
"As a country scholar, it is an honor for you to be favored by the princess. Don't be shameless. Think carefully about the consequences of offending the princess." The maid Cai Ming cursed at Gu Jingzhe's carriage.
Princess Mingyue raised her eyebrows and looked at the carriage going further and further away.
The more Gu Jingzhe did this, the more her competitive spirit was aroused.
"I don't know what kind of person his original wife was. Gu Jingzhe actually gave up the princess." Cai Ming couldn't help but say.
This angered Princess Mingyue.
Caiming was so scared that she begged for mercy.
Princess Mingyue became more and more curious about the wife that Gu Jingzhe mentioned, and asked, "I asked you to find out about his wife, but you didn't?"
Cai Ming said: "I have sent someone, but there is no news yet."
Princess Mingyue sneered. No matter what kind of person his wife was, she had to be divorced.
