Chapter 251 Free and Unfettered
Chapter 251 Free and Unfettered
Yuan Er left the Prince's Mansion and went straight to the Marquis Leshan's Mansion.
He wandered outside the mansion for a long time before walking in.
After hearing his words, Yao Yu was stunned.
"Do you want to marry Yaoyao?"
Yuan Er knelt on one knee and responded, "Yes."
Yaoyao looked at him with a silly smile.
Yao Yu knew that she was the one he liked because of her useless look.
But Yuan Er is my sister's secret guard, and everyone knows who a secret guard is.
"Does the Crown Princess know about this?"
Yuan Er nodded, "Master knows, I just came here after I told you."
"Her requirements for her subordinates are to make Miss Yao happy and worry-free every day, and not to let her be sad at all. Otherwise, the day Miss Yao is sad will be the day I die."
"The master also said that as long as you and Miss Yao agree, she can meet any conditions."
Yuanman: →_→Did I say that?
Yao Yu frowned. His sister's request was also his request as a father. But Yuan Er was a secret guard. How could he be at ease and promise his daughter to him?
"Let me think about this matter."
"Yes, I'm waiting for good news from the Marquis." After Yuan Er finished speaking, he stood up, glanced at Yao Yao, and left the Marquis Leshan's Mansion.
After Yao Yao waited for him to leave, he looked at Yao Yu and said, "Dad, Yuan Er is very skilled in martial arts, he won't be in any danger."
"Besides, I am my aunt's niece. If I marry him, my aunt will definitely not let him do anything dangerous."
"Auntie must have agreed to this because he has some good qualities that can satisfy and reassure her."
Yao Yu glared at her and said, "I'll tell you about this after I ask your aunt."
"Also, you are not allowed to go out or meet him during this period."
Yaoyao curled her lips, "Oh, I see."
The next day, the Prince's Mansion.
Yuan Man looked at the girl standing next to Gu Cheng, "Gu Cheng, is this the reason why you took so long to return to Beijing?"
Gu Chen nodded, "She is Xiao Yudie, the daughter of the magistrate of Jiucheng County. She is the girl I love."
Yuan Man nodded, "Mrs. Gu asked me to help you find a wife before, but it seems that's no longer necessary."
"Please sit down. The prince will be back soon."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Chen pulled Xiao Yudie to sit down.
Yuan Man glanced at Xiao Yudie, who had been silent, and said, "Gu Chen, you have been working for the prince, but you have no official position. Do you have any ideas?"
Gu Cheng smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to be an official. This is good. I am free and unrestrained, and I don't have to be confined to the court."
Yuan Man gave him a thumbs up and said, "Yes, being an official means you are bound by constraints."
"But you can't keep doing this."
Gu Cheng looked at her and smiled, "Of course I know, but you should enjoy your freedom as long as you can. Your Highness is still so free and easy."
Yuan Man smiled and said, "By the way, your grandmother is in Kyoto now, living in the Gu family in Kyoto. Remember to go visit her."
"Why is grandma coming to Kyoto?" Gu Chen frowned.
Yuan Man put down the water cup and said, "When I was reorganizing the Gu family, the Gu family invited people here."
"You'll know about the Gu family when you go to the Gu family in Kyoto."
Gu Cheng nodded, "Yes."
Yuan Man looked at Xiao Yudie, "Miss Xiao, tell me, how did you and Gu Chen meet?"
Xiao Yudie glanced at Gu Chen and whispered how they knew each other.
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows as he listened. It was really a clichéd plot. In return for saving his life, he had to repay his love with his body.
Glancing at Gu Chen, she smiled and said, "Master Gu, you have served the country and the people, yet you have suffered such a serious injury. I will definitely let the Crown Prince reward you well."
Gu Cheng listened to her words and felt that it was not the case.
Hui Chengyuan came in and heard Yuan Man's words and asked, "When did you get seriously injured?"
Gu Cheng immediately stood up and said with a smile: "It's all right now. Your Highness was just teasing me."
Yuan Man smiled and said, "How could that be? I really mean it."
"This Jiucheng is quite remote. It is a great achievement that you were able to build the granary."
Hui Chengyuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, there will be rewards for merit." Then he walked to Yuan Man and helped her stand up, "Zhong Jue and brother are here too, let's go to the right dining hall first."
"Brother is here." Yuanman followed him out.
After he left, Xiao Yudie looked at Gu Chen and said, "I didn't expect the prince to be so easy-going."
"The Crown Princess is also very easy to get along with."
Gu Chen stepped forward, held her hand and said with a smile: "The Crown Prince is not easy-going. He just loves the Crown Princess and is like this in front of her."
"Let's go, let's go too."
When Yuan Man saw Yao Yu, he immediately walked over and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. What have you been busy with recently?"
"What else can you be busy with?" Yao Yu glanced at her unhappily.
Yuan Man immediately stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea, "Brother, you have worked hard. Please have some tea."
Yao Yu looked at her unhappily, "Alright, sit down. Don't you know your own body?"
Yuan Man grinned and sat down next to him.
Then he looked at Su Zhongjue and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. You seem to have become much more stable now."
Su Zhongjue grinned, and his steady aura disappeared in an instant.
"Thank you for the compliments, sister-in-law, and thank you cousin for giving me this opportunity to gain experience."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him and started talking to Yao Yu.
Yao Yu took out a thick book and said, "I have registered all the people who have come to see me these days, and I have also written down their purposes."
Hui Chengyuan took it and was about to open it to take a look when Gu Chen walked in holding Xiao Yudie.
"This must be Marquis Leshan, I have heard of your great name for a long time, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Who is this?" Yao Yu looked at Hui Chengyuan.
Hui Chengyuan smiled and said, "He is Gu Cheng, A-Man's neighbor and my friend."
"Oh, Master Gu is so polite." Yao Yu said with a smile, "Please take a seat."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at them and continued to unfold the letter and read it.
When Yuan Man saw him reading the memorial, he also came over and started reading with him.
When Xiao Yudie saw this, her eyes widened.
The Crown Prince really dotes on the Crown Princess and does not shy away from discussing official matters with her.
Yuan Man saw a name on the letter and asked in surprise, "Brother, did Xin Xing also look for you?"
Yao Yu, who was originally talking to Gu Cheng and Su Zhongjue, heard this and said, "He didn't say anything to me, but just told me where the donations went."
"What he meant was that he wanted me to donate another batch of food. He said that the northern border has not yet fully recovered and the people are still hungry."
Yuan Man nodded. "Then next time he comes to you, tell him that the new grain seeds have been sent to the North. Twenty thousand kilograms of good seeds are enough for the North."
"As for food, I'll have someone arrange it."
Su Zhongjue looked at the brother and sister and blinked.
Yao Yu nodded, "I'll make an appointment with him tomorrow."
"By the way, after the river sacrifice, I should go back. I've stayed here long enough, and I'm worried about leaving you alone at home."
Yuan Man looked at him and pursed his lips, "Okay, I'll prepare some things for you to take back."
Yao Yu smiled and waved his hand, "No, we don't need anything."
