Chapter 367: Either his brain is broken or he has other plans
Prince Cao's eyes changed instantly.
Normally, Crown Prince Cao is casual and carefree, and doesn't care much about many things, but once he encounters serious matters, he shows the coldness and iron-bloodedness that a military commander should have.
"You mean..." King Huainan has ambitions that he shouldn't have?
Rong Ci looked indifferent: "Who knows, maybe the worst for him is this, but just marrying a princess, what if it really works?"
"Moreover, if you really like a woman, you are most likely attracted to something about her, rather than falling in love suddenly out of thin air."
In this world, liking someone does not happen for no reason. Even if it is love at first sight, it is just a glorification of love.
Just imagine, if you met an ugly girl/man, would you fall in love with her/him at first sight?
It was him and Miss Xie. From the very beginning, he felt pity for her being weak and pitiful. He liked her for being clear, transparent, quiet and gentle. He felt comfortable and happy staying with her.
If it were another person, even if he was wearing the same skin, he wouldn't look at him twice.
"King Huainan and Gu's daughter should have been in Jingzhou when they first met." Rong Ci slowly talked about what he knew.
"At that time, Gu's daughter was about to get married to Prince Jiang of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, but for some unknown reason, she suddenly regretted her marriage and fled to Jingzhou, where she met King Huainan."
Jingzhou is right next to the Imperial City, and most of the Imperial City is surrounded by it, so it is not far away. There are many people traveling between the two places, and there are many intermarriages.
"Not long after, Gu's daughter was captured and brought back, and the Marquis of Changning arranged a marriage for her with the Nian family. On the Chinese Valentine's Day last year, she escaped again while she was out with the Nian family's son on Chinese Valentine's Day, and came back on her own a few days later.
So the Marquis of Changning withdrew from the Nian family's marriage."
"Then there is the Zhao family's marriage. Originally, Changning Marquis thought that she was too trouble-making and could not marry into a high-ranking family to prevent her from causing another big trouble. The Gu family's daughter was not willing to marry into a family like the Zhao family. She was not the same as her mother.
He was an accomplice, escaped again, and proposed to solve the problem by letting his concubine marry in her place."
Prince Cao: "..."
Prince Cao was really shocked. He had heard some things about Gu You before, and thought that the previous two marriages were really because she was ill and couldn't marry. He didn't expect that there was such a thing among them.
First, he violated the marriage agreement, ignored his family, and then ignored his brothers and sisters.
The marriage that happened to her was not good, and she actually tried to find a sister to marry her to save herself. If the marriage was not good, she would just find a way to solve it. Moreover, this was a punishment for her for causing trouble. How could she have the nerve to drag her sisters into this?
Prevent disaster?
The most important thing in the world is reputation and character. If it weren't for the help of the Changning Marquis Mansion to cover it up, Gu You's reputation would have been ruined long ago. It was also ruined after being robbed by King Huainan, and then he did such a thing of destroying the marriage alliance and disregarding his family brothers and sisters.
People don't have any good character.
Rong Ci looked at his strange expression and said, "Do you think King Huainan really likes such a person? Either his brain is broken, or he has other agendas."
Prince Cao: "..."
"No, are you talking a little too much today?" It was the first time that Prince Cao saw Rong Ci being so eloquent, and felt a little strange. Isn't he normally aloof? Why did he change his temper?
Rong Ci paused, his expression a little subtle, but he did not explain this.
Prince Cao asked, "How do you know these things so clearly?"
Logically speaking, they don't have any grudge against the Changning Marquis Mansion, so they won't investigate these matters in the Changning Marquis Mansion, right?
Rong Ci is not the kind of person who likes to explore the messy things in other people's homes.
Rong Ci did not answer this question. He was not a liar. When he talked about Gu You before, he skipped the fact that Gu You was with King Huainan on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the two had physical contact.
, the rest is also true.
Prince Cao raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it Miss Xie who said this?" Only in this way can we explain how Tong Rongci knew these things.
Rong Ci said: "Miss Xie doesn't want Gu's daughter to become the princess."
"Because of the Changning Marquis Mansion?" If these things are true, it makes sense for Miss Xie not to want Gu You to be the princess. If Gu You keeps causing trouble and causes a big disaster, the Changning Marquis Mansion, as her natal family, will definitely suffer.
and.
At that time, let alone the benefits of a girl marrying high, she would be thankful to God for being able to save her life.
"Gu's daughter does not have the character to be a princess." Rong Ci said.
Prince Cao thought for a moment, drank another glass of wine, and then said: "Listen to what you said, this Gu woman's character is indeed bad. As a princess, she will not be able to bring much help to King Huainan. Instead, she will only cause trouble."
"And King Huainan liked her so much that he would even try to steal her bride for her. Either he lost his mind because of love, or he had other agendas."
"No matter what the reason is, Gu's daughter is indeed not suitable to marry into Prince Huainan's palace."
Not to mention whether King Huainan has any thoughts that he shouldn't have. Gu You's character and behavior alone cannot be regarded as a princess. After all, the Duke of Cao Guo hopes that King Huainan will be well.
Duke Cao's government was hesitant about this matter before, so they could only refuse.
"Thank you for telling me this." Prince Cao stood up and patted Rong Ci on the shoulder. He turned around and left without lingering, presumably to deal with these matters.
Rong Ci sat down and took a slow sip of wine, then frowned slightly, reached for the tea cup and poured himself a cup of tea, then took a sip of tea to disperse the smell of wine in his mouth.
To this day, he still doesn't like drinking. He thinks the taste is weird, especially after seeing someone drinking, as if they were stuck in a dream, and the whole person was unconscious.
It's better to touch less of these things.
Crown Prince Cao returned home and after some discussion with Duke Cao and his wife, he finally rejected King Huainan's request and sent someone to King Huainan's Mansion to inform him of the matter.
Li Chongyang's face turned dark instantly, and his hand holding the handle of the chair was a little tight: "Aren't you willing, the Duke and the Duke, to do this favor for me?"
The visitor said: "My lord, please don't be angry. It's not that the Duke and his wife are unwilling to help. Before the servant came, the lady told him that the prince is the grandson of the emperor. What kind of woman do you want to marry? Why bother?"
You must be obsessed with Gu’s daughter.”
"That Gu woman's character is not appropriate and she is really unfit to be a princess."
"Madam also said that apart from this Gu's daughter, what kind of princess does the prince want to marry? When the time comes, she will definitely help..."
