Chapter 478 Agreeing is a betrothal gift, disagreeing is a dowry
Gu Zizhan looked at Shen Xia affectionately, holding the wild goose in his hand: "When proposing in the capital, wild geese are usually used as tokens of love. I shot this myself."
Shen Xia looked at the two spirited geese.
I heard that these engagement geese are bought by themselves.
It is very difficult to shoot down wild geese, and it is even more difficult to do so without causing any injuries.
Shen Xia looked at a man who was almost thirty years old, and was actually stupid enough to go hunting wild geese.
But the wild goose in his arms was very beautiful.
Nodding: "It looks good."
Princess Rui looked at the eyes of everyone at the table focused on her, and panic suddenly surged in her heart like a tide. Her originally calm face seemed to be cut by an invisible sharp blade, and she could no longer hold back.
She stood up slowly, a trace of helplessness and anxiety flashed in her eyes, staring straight at Gu Zizhan, and said seriously: "Zizhan, don't make trouble like this anymore!"
Shen Xia quietly looked at Princess Rui's worried face, thinking about something in her heart. Then she turned her head slightly, with a cunning light flashing in her smart eyes.
He turned his head to look at Gu Zizhan again and raised his eyebrows slightly. That expression seemed to say silently that all this trouble was caused by him and naturally he had to solve it by himself.
Gu Zizhan looked calm and responded calmly: "Mother, don't worry, I know what to do with my own affairs."
What I mean is that it's my business, I know what I'm doing, so don't meddle in it.
Princess Rui looked at Shen Xia deeply, her eyes revealing some complicated emotions, then she turned her gaze to Gu Zizhan and said firmly: "As everyone knows, marriage is a major event in life, and it has always been subject to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. This is the rule left by our ancestors. Why do you decide on your own?"
Gu Zizhan did not back down and still insisted: "We are already engaged. Isn't this the order of our parents? When we decided on this marriage, it was also agreed by our elders."
After hearing this, Princess Rui couldn't help but frowned and retorted: "But she is already married now, and the engagement has long been annulled. Why are you so obsessed with it?"
Gu Zizhan remained calm and said in an orderly manner: "I just determined that she is Gu Yuan. There is no marriage certificate for her in the government office, so our engagement should remain valid."
The eldest princess watched this scene silently from the side, with a barely perceptible hint of thought flashing across her eyes.
In fact, there were many rumors about this matter at that time. It was said that the two had a close relationship and that was why they decided to get married.
In fact, it is not like that. The truth is that it was decided by the late emperor. Otherwise, considering Gu Zizhan’s age, which is seven years older than Yuan’er, no matter how outstanding he is, it is impossible for them to get engaged.
What does Princess Rui mean by this?
The eldest princess's face darkened: "Princess Rui, what do you mean?"
Princess Rui said: "Gu Xi, first of all, I am not saying that your daughter is bad, the main thing is that she is married. If the marriage between our two families is to continue, she must divorce."
King Rui saw his wife and the eldest princess arguing with each other, and quickly stepped forward to pull her back: "Okay, stop talking, the child's matter is up to them."
The guests nearby were watching the farce.
The older people all knew that Princess Anping, Gu Zizhan, had been engaged since childhood.
If Princess Anping had not disappeared, they would have probably gotten married long ago.
Also, Commander Gu is already 27 years old. No wonder he hasn’t gotten married in all these years. It turns out he has been waiting for Princess Anping.
So affectionate!
What will Princess Anping choose?
Are the three men next to her all her husbands?
Why is Lord Song still next to us?
Mr. Song’s surname is Song?
The new top scholar also has the surname Song!
Some people seemed to have discovered something.
They were all looking at the three people's faces.
There are some similarities?
Could it be——
Are the three of them brothers?
On one side are several brothers who have been married for a long time, and on the other side is the fiancé who has been engaged since childhood. His status must be higher than that of the Rui Palace?
The guests present were all guessing, what would Princess Anping choose?
Princess Rui was furious when she saw the King of Rui like this. She said angrily, "What do you mean he can choose? I gave birth to him and raised him with great difficulty. Don't I even have this little right?"
Shen Xia stood quietly aside, with a faint light flashing in his eyes, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him. He did not intend to interfere in the matter, because he knew very well that this was their family affair and should be handled by themselves.
When the princess heard this, she was furious. She glared at everyone and shouted, "Are you still not satisfied? I think Gu Zizhan from your Gu family is too old!"
Seeing this, Gu Zizhan explained carefully: "Aunt, you know me. I am sincere to Yuan'er. From childhood to now, this feeling has never changed."
After hearing Gu Zizhan's sincere words, Gu Xi's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little, and her mood improved a little.
At this time, Princess Rui looked at her son's submissive appearance, feeling helpless and angry. She said harshly: "Unless Anping can divorce, otherwise, I will never agree to your marriage! Is this my biggest concession?"
Gu Zizhan looked at Princess Rui solemnly, his eyes revealing a firm look, and he slowly said: "Mother, if you can agree,"
As he spoke, he slightly turned his head and his eyes fell on the betrothal gifts neatly placed beside him, and then he continued: "These are the betrothal gifts. If you don't agree, they will become dowry."
His voice was loud and powerful, as if it echoed throughout the sky, and the guests at several tables present heard clearly what he said.
For a moment, everyone was whispering and talking, wondering what was going on. Could it be that Princess Rui disagreed, and was Gu Zizhan really planning to come to her house on his own initiative?
Gu Zizhan really gave it his all for Princess Anping.
What magical powers does Princess Anping really have?
Princess Rui was completely enraged by Gu Zizhan's desperate attitude. She pointed her slender fingers at him like a sword, her eyes flashing with anger and disappointment.
He shouted sternly, "Rebellious son, do you really not care about your mother's life or death? If you are really so heartless, then I will die in front of you today, and you will bear the crime of ingratitude forever!"
Gu Zizhan looked at Princess Rui quietly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and determination. He slowly said, "Okay, if mother insists on threatening to die, then I have nothing to say."
After that, he turned his gaze to King Rui standing beside him, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Father, I hope you can prepare two coffins by then. If my mother leaves first, I will follow her without hesitation and accompany her to that unknown world."
