Chapter 40 Rectification of Name

The corners of Empress Dowager Yuan's lips curled into cold lines, and the bamboo shed above cast a faint shadow on her graceful face.

"Don't talk nonsense." Empress Dowager Yuan suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, and forced herself to laugh lightly, "Miss Gu is already engaged!"

Empress Dowager Yuan stared fixedly at King Kang, her right hand gripped the handrail even tighter.

She came to Prince Jing's mansion today to choose a concubine for her son, but she also wanted to see Gu Yunxie, and she planned to take a step back and let this girl be a side concubine, which was also fulfilling her son's wishes.

But now, Empress Dowager Yuan changed her mind, and felt displeased with Gu Yunxie from the bottom of her heart.

Her son has a great talent and great strategy, and in the future he will aspire to the top of the world. As a king, he cannot be fascinated by a woman.

Daji caused chaos in the Shang Dynasty, and King Zhou You made war with the princes because of the smile of Bomei... As a monarch, being greedy for beauty is a disaster for the country!

"Mother, you made a mistake. It is the marriage of Miss Gu." Kang Wang looked directly into the piercing eyes of Queen Mother Yuan, and said seriously.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan was taken aback, her first reaction was, isn't Gu Yunxie the second girl Gu?

Others around were also mostly confused.

Kang Wang recruited his personal servant, pointed to the direction of Zhuoxin Water Pavilion and said: "Second Miss Gu is in the Water Pavilion, go and call her here."

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen in the water pavilion could also hear it clearly, Gu Yunzhen frowned, and recalled the chaos in the Rose Pavilion just now in his mind, and the picture was fixed on Fang Mingfeng's bloody face.

After a while, the waiter in Tsing Yi quickly stepped into the water pavilion, and bowed his hands to Gu Yanfei politely: "Second Miss Gu, the Empress Dowager and His Highness Kang Wang invite the girl to come over and talk."

Gu Yanfei put down the teacup, stood up leisurely, held down Gu Yunzhen who wanted to go with her, and said with a smile: "Big sister, I'll go back as soon as I go."

The other people in the water pavilion looked at her in unison, with different expressions.

"Miss Gu, please." The waiter in Tsing Yi stretched out his hand to make an invitation.

Li Zhulang looked at Gu Yanfei's graceful back in despair, lowered his shoulders in frustration, and a thought repeatedly echoed in his mind: The beauty actually has a marriage contract? !

A fair lady, a gentleman loves you.

The beauty has a marriage contract, so wouldn't she have already lost completely before she died! ?

Li Zhulang stood there in a daze, wanting to cry, but the young boy patted his cousin on the shoulder reassuringly.

The autumn wind is floating, and the road from the water pavilion to the polo field is extremely quiet, and the "russling" swaying sound of the branches and leaves becomes clear, and the water vapor by the lake is brought a little bit of coolness by the wind.

Gu Yanfei walked to the other side of Gu Yunxie under the eyes of everyone, and Fushen bowed to Queen Mother Yuan, his movements were standard and casual.

King Kang didn't pay attention to Gu Yanfei at all, or rather, he didn't even look at her directly, and said coldly: "Tell the queen mother, are you and the prince of the United Kingdom marrying each other?"

"No." Gu Yanfei said two words with a smile.

On her beautiful little face, there is a light smile, like the sunrise after the clouds have dispersed, and the branches are covered with half-opened and half-opened begonia buds.

Following the words Gu Yanfei, the people around gradually became agitated, whispering to each other.

Today, many people have noticed Gu Yanfei's face, especially her face is so beautiful and pleasing to the eye, no matter men or women, they can't help but look at it more.

However, most of them didn't know her identity. They only heard that her surname was Gu, so they thought she was a girl from the Gu family.

Looking at it now, this strange girl Gu seems to have "extraordinary backgrounds"!

Kang Wang frowned, and squinted at Gu Yanfei. The little girl stood there obediently, with a shallow smile, making it impossible to see whether she was deliberately against him, or whether she didn't know about the engagement at all...

Pressing his thoughts, Kang Wang stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a cold and stern aura, and said arrogantly and forcefully: "Fourteen years ago, when your grandfather was alive, he made an agreement with the old man of the British government. Family marriage, let Gu Ce's eldest daughter marry Fang Mingfeng..."

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang is right," Gu Yanfei cleverly picked up the other party's words, and smiled calmly, "The one who has a marriage contract with the British government is the eldest daughter of the head of Dingyuanhou's residence."

The ribbons in her curly hair fluttered in the wind, and the flowing skirt fluttered, as bright as a cold moon. The girl seemed to be surrounded by a celestial atmosphere, which was in stark contrast to the cold Kang Wang.

"The letters of appointment of the two families are clearly and plainly written." As he spoke, Gu Yanfei turned his gaze to Gu Yunmai, and continued, "As we all know, the eldest daughter of Marquis Xianding Yuan is Gu Yunmai."

Gu Yanfei tilted her head and smiled and asked Gu Yunxie who was only half a foot away from her: "Really?"

Gu Yunxiu's pupils shrank slightly, and the tails of his eyebrows twitched.

Kang Wang also had a bad complexion, squinting at Gu Yanfei, and then he looked straight at Gu Yanfei.

Facing this pair of lovers, the smile on Gu Yanfei's face gradually deepened, but it was not as deep as his eyes.

In her previous life, after Gu Yanfei returned to Dingyuan Hou's Mansion, she and Gu Yunxie were twins under the names of their father, Gu Ce, and mother, Xie. However, the Gu family never clearly introduced her identity to the outside world. Vague.

At that time, she grew up being beaten and scolded since she was a child, and then she became more and more cowardly under the repeated belittling, suppression, and humiliation of Madam Xu. Chance to argue for yourself.

As a result, almost all the prefectures in the capital didn't know that she was the real concubine daughter of the Hou family, and only regarded her as an orphan from a distant family, and regarded her as an adopted child.

Obviously she is the real Gu's bloodline, but she has become an unspeakable existence, and is regarded as a fish eye pretending to be a pearl.

Until her death, her identity was ambiguous...

This is also her inner demon, which made her depressed when she was young.

It's like this again in this life, the old things repeat themselves, even if Gu Yunxie was adopted to the second room, the Gu family has no intention of justifying their name at all.

Not in my previous life, not now, and certainly not in the future.

Gu Yanfei tilted her head slightly, looked at Gu Yunxi who was close at hand, and asked again: "Really?"

A few strands of blue hair on her cheeks slid down with her movements, and the small pearl earrings swayed gently under her earlobe, and there seemed to be a bright light flowing through her eyes, which was dazzling.

"..." Gu Yunxie's face faded a little, and her cherry lips pursed slightly.

With just a few words, Gu Yanfei forced himself into a dilemma.

No matter how she answers now, it is wrong.

If she answered yes, then it would be tantamount to acknowledging Gu Yanfei's identity as the only daughter of the elder brother in public.

If she answered no, then she, Gu Yunxie, was the one who had a marriage contract with the British government.
