1419 Gu Ruxue and the Phoenix Girl 2
Hearing what the Crown Prince said, Gu Zhenkang understood what he meant. He shook his head, saying, “Not yet.”
That was actually what Ruxue caused to happen, to be honest. He had thought that Xiuying could find some ok family to get married to since she was born in a noble family, but Ruxue disagreed. She said that she could wait until she was no longer useful any more.
That was why Xiuying was never married.
Until now… she was not yet married.
If Xiuying was the Phoenix Girl, then some other family would benefit a lot from that.
So he replied to the Crown Prince, hoping to see if there were any other better arrangements.
Zhou Huailing let out a sigh of relief.
It was good that she was not married.
He could just marry the Phoenix Girl, and that was all.
He was the Crown Prince so he was the one that should marry the Phoenix Girl.
So the whole thing wasn’t that bad for him anyway.
Zhou Huailing let out a sigh of relief. So did Junyi.
Gu Ruxue was definitely not a very suitable person to be Queen, and maybe this Third Lady was better than her. He was right to have been working for the Crown Prince.
However, it was unfortunate that things didn’t work out today.
“Then we can be dismissed for today,” Destiny Monk said.
The King said a few more words to the ministers, then everyone left in an order.
Although it was very dramatic today, they all knew that the Phoenix Girl was from the Gu Family no matter what. So the result was the same – the Gu Family was going to become powerful soon so all they needed was to suck up to them.
It was just a matter of who the Phoenix Girl was.
However, they did not need to care about who she really was, because the Crown Prince was definitely going to marry her. Who would steal the girl from the Crown Prince anyway?
The ministers and officers were not experiencing any ups and downs. They all left in an order whilst the Ministry of Rites was going to visit the Gu Family later.
Gu Zhenkang did not have many emotions. He was surrounded by a few ministers who were all wearing flattering smiles.
Only Mrs. Gu and Gu Yunhe were not very happy.
There were three ladies in the Gu Family, but only Ruxue was born by Mrs. Gu and Gu Yunhe’s sister. If Ruxue had been the one, they would have benefited so much from the result, but if Gu Xiuying was the one…
Gu Xiuying did not like them, and Gu Xiuying had her own mother, namely Third Concubine.
They had already broken their relationship after Ruxue became the Crown Prince Consort, and they kept picking on Gu Xiuying and her mother, so they should hate them deeply. If she were the Phoenix Girl, the Gu Family would still benefit, but she and Yunhe would not enjoy their lives as happily as they are now.
In the past….
It was her fault.
She should have found someone from her mother’s family to marry Gu Xiuying, so that everything would turn out to be fine today, but she had dropped the idea because she did not want her mother’s family to get involved. However, unexpectedly, things were a little different now.
Mrs. Gu was not at all happy.
Gu Yunhe panicked too.
If Gu Xiuying was the one, and chose Gu Yunxuan to work for her, he would be done. His sister might defend him, but his sister was just the Crown Prince Consort, not the Phoenix Girl!
“Mom, what should we do? It is such a mess.” Gu Yunhe asked, worried.
