MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 12

Then she curled her lips and called Chunxi in.

"Is the matchmaker here?"

The smile on Chun Xi's face hadn't had time to take it back. Hearing this, she froze for a while, and said falteringly: "Your Highness...the matchmaker...she was sent away by the slaves..."

She thought that the princess and the concubine had reconciled just now, so there was no need for the matchmaker to choose concubines for the concubine, otherwise the princess would be angry when she saw those concubines...

Jiang Libai almost fainted out of breath, thinking that this matter could be explained as soon as possible, but she didn't want to be held back by her personal maid.

"Go and invite people back."

That's all, Gu Yun has already gone back, so she doesn't have to be so anxious. And after some discussions just now, Gu Yun is considered a mutually beneficial ally for her, so she still has to choose one for her, and can't treat her badly.

On the other side, Gu Yun, who didn't know Jiang Libai's plan, got into the carriage arranged for her by the Princess Mansion and returned to Prince Jinping's Mansion.

"General, I'm going to rest for a while, take good care of yourself." One star needs to close the link because of too much consumption just now, so as to save star power.

This is the self-protection mechanism of the optical brain.

"Order received."

After disconnecting the link, the tired Gu Yun also lay down on the bed.

The next three days are her susceptible period, without the help of oga or restraining stickers, she will feel weak and uncomfortable, unable to do other things.

Fortunately, the princess left some servants for her, so she didn't have to worry about starving to death in the room.

…

Two days later, a festively dressed woman was invited into the seventh princess' mansion.

After hearing the news, Jiang Libai met her in the study.

After looking at the matchmaker for a while, she asked with satisfaction, "Is someone selected?" Chun Xi had already sent a message to the matchmaker yesterday, and also told her some of her requirements.

The matchmaker already knew what to expect, but he didn't know what happened to the chosen one.

Matchmaker Chen is a well-known matchmaker in Shilibafang, Beijing. Although she usually matches up with respectable people in the court, this is the first time she has been a matchmaker for the royal family, and she even took a concubine for the princess' concubine.

This made her tremble, for fear of messing up the matter.

And I don't know if there is any conflict between the seventh princess and the son-in-law, and she will take a concubine not long after the wedding... But she dare not ask too much, just choose someone for the princess and the son-in-law.

So after getting the news yesterday, she picked out a few outstanding ladies who had names and surnames and were waiting to be married.

The so-called marrying a wife and a virtuous person, accepting a concubine and accepting sex, although the young ladies she picked were from relatively low family backgrounds, they were attractive and graceful, presumably the princess and the son-in-law should be able to fall in love with them.

"Yes." Matchmaker Chen found a booklet from her sleeve, put it in Chun Xi's hand respectfully, and she handed it to the princess.

Jiang Libai held it in her hand and flipped through it casually. There were only introductions of those women's families and their temperaments, but there were no corresponding portraits.

"Have you seen all these people? How do they look?"

Matchmaker Chen hurriedly replied: "I've seen the villains before. These ladies are all pretty and have good figures. Not to mention men, even the villains can't take their eyes away!"

Jiang Libai half-believed: "Is that so?" After all, she had heard about it, and matchmakers tended to exaggerate and flatter when they were in the middle of matchmaking.

Don't pick someone up at that time, but Gu Yun doesn't like it in the end, wouldn't that be a loss of face to her?

Matchmaker Chen laughed: "All the villains have seen them with their own eyes, and they are all as beautiful as flowers. Although they are not one ten thousandth as beautiful as you, the princess, they are still one in a million beauties!"

Ever since she was a child, Jiang Libai has been used to hearing these flattering words, she lazily leaned on the back of the chair, "I'd better have to see this in person before you can rest assured, you go back and collect the portraits of these women, and then hand them over to Ben." Check it out."

Matchmaker Chen didn't expect the seventh princess to actually take concubines for the concubine sincerely... The seventh princess is so virtuous and generous, and she immediately respected the seventh princess, "Yes, the villain will definitely handle it well."

"Wait." Jiang

Seeing that the matchmaker was about to leave after saluting, Li Bai called her again, "Do these women know about this?"

If they don't know, are these women willing to be Gu Yun's concubines?

Matchmaker Chen replied without blinking her eyes, "I know, I know. They are all willing to be the concubine's concubine and serve the princess and the son-in-law!"

Then there is nothing wrong with it.

…

In the afternoon of the second day, Matchmaker Chen stood in front of Jiang Libai with the portraits of those girls.

Several sheets of rice paper were placed on the desk, spread out evenly, and at a glance, there were all beauties with good looks.

"That is the first daughter of Taishi Ling Xu's family, she has a soft waist and white skin, she has just turned sixteen." Matchmaker Chen followed Jiang Libai's gaze and introduced her briefly.

Jiang Libai nodded and looked at the next portrait.

"That is the concubine daughter of Yan Youcheng's family. She is gentle and pleasant, very peaceful. She is seventeen years old this year."

…

After reading one by one, Matchmaker Chen asked cautiously, "Which ladies do the princess think are suitable?"

Jiang Libai made up her mind, she picked up the portraits and looked at them again, and picked three out of them, "Just these three."

Matchmaker Chen looked up, she was a little surprised: "I don't know why the princess didn't choose the young lady from the Xu family..."

She thought that with the beauty and figure of the young lady from the Xu family, she could be chosen!

Jiang Li gave a blank hand, she just felt that the girl was somewhat similar to her in appearance and charm, and she was a little unwilling to send someone who resembled her to Gu Yun's side. Otherwise... otherwise, what does it look like...

But it was impossible for her to tell Matchmaker Chen the reason, so she made up nonsense and changed the subject in a casual tone: "What? Did you already accept the red envelope from the Xu family?"

Matchmaker Chen quickly waved her hands: "No, no! The villain works for the princess, how dare he accept other people's red envelopes!"

"Chun Xi." Jiang Libai put the three portraits away, asked Chun Xi to reward Matchmaker Chen with money, and then walked out of the study.

"Princess, where are you going?" As soon as she sent Matchmaker Chen away, Chunxi heard footsteps behind her.

"Go to Prince Jinping's Mansion."

Taking a concubine is not a trivial matter, and in fact, for Gu Yun, the ones chosen for her are her true wives. So I have to ask Gu Yun about this matter, and let her make the final choice.

Chunxi didn't know what Jiang Libai was thinking, but thought that the princess was missing her son-in-law.

She happily arranged a carriage and went to Jinping Palace with Princess Seven.

It was already evening at that time, and the servants of Prince Jinping's mansion did not expect the seventh princess to come. Steward Zhou welcomed the seventh princess into the mansion, and his old face was about to burst into smiles.

"...Everyone in the mansion is dedicated to their duties and never dares to slack off. I just hope that the princess will come back and have a look..."

Jiang Libai walked along the road without seeing Gu Yun's figure. She frowned and interrupted Butler Zhou's flattery, "Where is the son-in-law?"

Butler Zhou was a little dumbfounded: "Princess wants to see the son-in-law?!"

Jiang Libai glanced at him suspiciously: "What's the matter? I can't see her anymore?"

"Old slave didn't mean that..."

Steward Zhou faltered and couldn't speak, which made Jiang Libai completely impatient: "Take me to see the son-in-law."

"...Yes." After Zhou Steward turned around, he winked at the servant behind him, and after seeing the servant leaving quietly, he took Seventh Princess to the courtyard where Gu Yun lived.

Along the way, he trembled. Before, he thought that the princess had disliked the son-in-law, so he moved out of Prince Jinping's mansion and did not live with the son-in-law. So these days, he didn't pay much attention to the son-in-law, and what happened to the son-in-law recently, he stayed in the room all day and didn't go out for half a step, so he didn't care much.

Just give the son-in-law one or two meals of leftovers every day, so as not to let her starve to death.

But I didn't expect the princess to come today just after he delivered the bad meal to the son-in-law, and asked to see the son-in-law by name!

After walking for a while, Jiang Libai came to the door of Gu Yun's room.

She looked at the closed door, looked back at the sweaty Butler Zhou, and thought

With guesswork.

"You go down first, I have something to say with the son-in-law." After sending Steward Zhou away, Jiang Libai instructed Chunxi in a low voice, "Go and find out if Steward Zhou has treated the son-in-law harshly."

After speaking, he pushed open the door.

As soon as he entered the room, the strong smell of agarwood wood almost made Jiang Li's bones go limp. She held on to the door frame, panting softly. Seeing that there was no one around, he slowly walked into the back room.

The more she walked in, the stronger the atmosphere that fascinated her, which made her retreat.

Before she could go back, the person on the bed turned over and looked towards her.

Jiang Libai's shadow was reflected in the boy's scarlet eyes, which made her heart beat violently.

"You...what's the matter?" Thinking of that day in her room, the boy seemed to be very uncomfortable, as if he was enduring something. At that time, she didn't care about Gu Yun, so she didn't care about her life or death. But now Gu Yun can be regarded as her ally, and she also promised to give Gu Yun a good and comfortable life, so she can no longer ignore her.

Gu Yun leaned on the bed, her black hair was scattered behind her head, and a few strands lay lazily on her chest, rising and falling with her breathing.

Today is the third day of her susceptible period. As long as she survives today, she can be resurrected with full blood.

It's just that at this critical moment, why did Princess Seven come here? !

The girl in front of her took two tentative steps towards her, the wind blowing towards her, and the faint fragrance puffed into the tip of her nose, like a deadly poison, luring her to fall bit by bit...

"Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Libai raised her hand, wanting to touch Gu Yun's forehead to see how the temperature is, but she was afraid that she would suddenly go crazy and throw her down, so she was about to withdraw her hand.

As soon as the hand was put down, it was held in the palm of Gu Yun.

Jiang Libai was startled suddenly: "???"
