Chapter 361: Establishing a New General's Office
The three of them finished their lunch together in great harmony.
In the meantime, Gu Zizhan took care of Shen Xia in various ways. Shen Xia's taste had not changed much in recent years, and she still liked sweet and spicy food.
However, there are very few sweet and spicy vegetables here, and the general cuisine is generally light in taste, just a little salty.
After meal.
Shen Xia looked at Gu Zizhan: "Zizhan, we will go back first."
"I send you."
"No, we can go back by ourselves."
"It's okay. I haven't seen my aunt for so many years, so I might as well go visit her." Gu Zizhan said with a smile.
"Oh, okay!" Seeing him say that, Shen Xia had no way to refuse and could only agree.
When the three of them came down, two carriages were parked at the door downstairs.
Gu Zizhan asked Wenzhu to pay.
Wenzhu was surprised to see Shen Xia.
Isn’t the general here to see Princess Anping?
Why is it Miss Shen?
Shen Xia originally planned to ride in the same carriage with Qianyu.
As a result, he was pulled by Gu Zizhan into a carriage at the back.
Hey!
In terms of strength, women really can't compare with men.
Nothing comparable.
Shen Xia could only look at Qian Yu awkwardly: "Sister, you take that carriage."
"it is good."
Shen Xia had no choice but to get on Gu Zizhan's carriage.
no way.
Gu Zizhan carefully helped Shen Xia into the car.
As soon as Shen Xia sat down, Gu Zizhan sat down next to her.
Shen Xia just remembered to sit opposite.
Then Gu Zizhan pulled her into his arms.
"The chair is uncomfortable, just sit on my lap!"
Gu Zizhan leaned his head on Shen Xia's arms: "Yuan'er, you don't know, these years I often woke up in the middle of the night because of dreaming about you."
Shen Xia took a deep breath.
I can only sigh at this complicated situation!
I don't want to talk anymore, because he won't listen to anything I say.
This is a confrontation with myself.
"I often dream about the two of us being in harmony. I don't want to wake up because I know it will be just another dream."
"Knowing that you have come to the capital, I will immediately submit a letter to report back to the capital."
Arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion.
Gu Zizhan helped Shen Xia get off the carriage, and the three of them went in together, and saw Wen Zhu behind them carrying a few gift boxes.
When did he prepare the gift so quickly?
Shen Xia looked at Qian Yu: "Sister, please go back to the yard first! I will take Zizhan to see mother."
"it is good."
Shen Xia looked at the servant next to him: "Where is mother?"
"The princess is in the backyard with the three young masters."
"Okay, go ask my mother to come to the front yard and tell her that the Third Master Gu is here."
"Yes, county lord."
Shen Xia took Gu Zizhan to the main hall in the front yard.
The two of them sat aside, and Jixiang Ruyi immediately went to serve tea.
Gu Zizhan looked at the yard and said, "I haven't been here for many years. When you were little, you came here often."
"Well, I only remember a little bit of what happened when I was a kid."
"Yuan'er, I beg His Majesty to grant me the general's mansion next door! Then it will be close for you to return to the princess's mansion."
Shen Xia watched as Gu Zizhan was already planning their future.
But I didn't intend to do that at all!
How to do.
It's impossible not to be moved by him, after all, I really liked him back then.
But?
"Zi Zhan——" Shen Xia was about to say.
Finally, the eldest princess came in.
When Gu Zizhan saw the princess coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, aunt."
The princess looked at the little prince in front of her who had grown up and couldn't help but feel that time flies. It seemed that they had not seen each other for more than ten years.
However, he was still handsome and handsome, and despite being a veteran of many battles, he did not look the least bit aged.
If she looked a little worse, I’m afraid Yuan’er wouldn’t like her either!
After only meeting him once, he was brought back to meet his parents.
She smiled and nodded, "Well, sit down!"
Wenzhu, who was standing by, handed the gift to Aunt Gui.
Gu Zizhan said quickly: "Since I came here in a hurry, the gift I prepared may not be thoughtful enough. I hope Auntie will forgive me."
The princess responded gently: "Well, it doesn't matter, as long as the intention is there."
Then she asked, "What is the purpose of your visit this time, nephew?"
Gu Zizhan glanced at Shen Xia and stated his purpose directly: "I am here to express my feelings to Auntie. Yuan'er and I have been in love with each other for several years. I love Yuan'er deeply and have no intention of canceling the engagement."
The eldest princess looked surprised when she heard this.
"years ago?"
Afterwards, Gu Zizhan recounted in detail every detail of their past, even including matters related to Princess Rui, without hiding anything.
Gu Zizhan felt that the facts were the facts, and he was never the kind of person who would hide or cover up.
If you do something wrong, try your best to make up for it. This has always been his principle.
However, the eldest princess was completely different.
She could not tolerate hearing her precious daughter being wronged like this, even though the other party did not know Yuan'er's true identity.
Even though he had a good relationship with Princess Rui, how could that compare to his own biological daughter?
But then again, for Gu Zizhan, to be honest, as Yuan'er's legal husband, he does meet her expectations.
But it was not until now that I suddenly realized that there is such a thing as a mother-in-law.
As for Yuan'er's thoughts, it is not convenient to ask at this moment.
I can only wait until she and I are alone and then ask her carefully!
The princess stared at Gu Zizhan and said slowly, "But Yuan'er already has a husband and a child."
Gu Zizhan answered without hesitation: "I don't care about these, as long as I can be with Yuan'er." His tone was firm and sincere.
The princess looked at Gu Zizhan with a determined face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that his deep affection for Yuan'er was really touching and had never changed over the years.
She frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "But will your mother agree?"
After all, marriage is a serious matter and parents’ orders cannot be disobeyed.
Gu Zizhan's eyes flashed with determination. He straightened his back and said, "I have already applied to His Majesty to establish a new general's mansion."
These words startled the princess. She didn't expect Gu Zizhan to be so decisive.
He not only has the courage to pursue his love, but also has the ability to fight for the life he wants.
The eldest princess raised the corners of her mouth in an appreciative smile.
She felt that Gu Zizhan's approach was indeed both brave and resourceful.
When his mother opposed their marriage, he did not give up, but chose to build a new mansion, proving his determination and strength with practical actions.
Such courage and perseverance are admirable.
After hearing these conversations, Shen Xia pondered in his heart.
She decided to find out whether the courtyard next to the princess's mansion was for sale. If possible, she wanted to buy the courtyard first.
The princess looked at Gu Zizhan and said, "Well, okay, I'll discuss this with Yuan'er, you go back first!"
Gu Zizhan glanced at Shen Xia: "Okay."
See Gu Zizhan leave.
The princess looked at Shen Xia and said, "If Princess Rui hadn't stopped you, would you have been together?"
Shen Xia nodded: "Yes,"
“That’s what I like.”
"But now I'm married, my elder brother and his family are all very nice, I don't want too many people in the backyard, it would be troublesome."
"You're worried that Song Yun and the others will feel bad, right?"
Shen Xia nodded: "Yes, and I think everything is fine now."
"Okay! Then just let it happen and watch! There's no rush for these things. Mother will definitely stand by you. Your mind is the main thing."
"Thank you, mother." Shen Xia said gratefully.
