The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending-Chapter 431

Chapter 431

As she sees it, the emperor was a soft-hearted monarch by how he repeatedly tolerated his son and only disliked what Gu Jing had done and indulge him even more, after all, he was his biological son.

Did Gu Jing not know that Tang Fengchun’s accidental fall into the water was a trick?

He probably knew, but still did it.

Qin Jiu: “…”

Qin Jiu then gestured to Qin Zening to drink tea, with a strange expression, while the latter obliged and picked up the teacup.

Ever since Gu Zezhi told her about Wang Yu and Gu Chenzhi yesterday, she remembered some description of Wang Yu in the novel. She had this gut feeling that reality and the novel did not match at all.

Until she has suddenly realized this now.

The plot of the novel was once deflected because of her appearance, but after a detour, the plot “was preserved” and returned to the “right track”.

In the novel, Second Prince Gu Jing also secretly conspired with Wang Yu to reclaim imperial power from the villainous regent Gu Zezhi.

Wang Yu was portrayed by the author as a loyal and righteous minister and fierce general. After the death of the late emperor, he was scorned by the now emperor so he had to stay away from the capital, a place that was full of disputes, and also because he feared the emperor. After more than ten years of defending the fiefdom and governing Yuzhou well, he won the hearts of the people and military.

When Daqi was under the control of treacherous sycophants, Wang Yu responded to the call of the Second Prince and led hundreds of thousands of troops from Yuzhou to the north. At the risk of his life, he spared no effort in fighting to assist the Second Prince in rectifying the chaos, eliminating traitors, and establishing the court, bringing Daqi back to its feudal dynasty.

However, besides that, she has forgotten all the details of Wang Yu and the male protagonist Gu Jing.

When she read the novel, she always just glanced through government affairs and other things, and had no intention of understanding them in detail. Therefore, after reading them, it was like a flying geese without a trace, and her memory was like that of a goldfish, forgetting them after more than a few seconds.

However, what she could be certain about was that in the novel, when Qin Xin was reborn, the male protagonist Gu Jing would not marry anyone else. He and Qin Xin, the female protagonist, were always a pair until the end of their lives!

While thinking about this, Qin Jiu was also absorbed in gossiping with Qin Zening. “Big brother, actually, yesterday, I also met Miss Tang and fell into the lake…”

Qin Zening: “?”

Qin Jiu then started narrating with Fang Hanjun looking for her to speak, and when Tang Fengchun fell into the water while Gu Zezhi stood by and just watched, Fang Hanjun ended up slapping Duan Rou twice. As for what Fang Hanjun had said, she omitted all of them.

Qin Zeyu was dumbfounded and thought that his older sister was no fun. There was much excitement in the palace, but she did not tell him this when she returned yesterday, causing him to almost miss this news.

He could not help but sigh inwardly, as he thought how this Tan Fengchun was too capable of bending and stretching, and her speed of changing her prospect husband was too fast.

Amazing, really impressive.

Qin Zening could not help but also sigh. “They picked the wrong person when they picked Gu Zezhi.”

Qin Zening followed Gu Zezhi on a trip to Minzhou and had some understanding of how ruthless his future brother-in-law was.

If Tang Fengchun played this kind of classless trick in front of Gu Zezhi, was she not just showing off in front of Gu Zezhi?!

Meanwhile, Qin Zeyu had a completely different opinion.

“That’s right!” He responded rather proudly, “What kind of person is Third Brother Gu!”

His Third Brother Gu had long been blinded by his sister, and his heart was filled with only his sister! All the other vixens were just ogling the blind man, making their efforts all in vain!

Qin Jiu also nodded.

When it comes to treachery, who could be more treacherous than Gu Zezhi ah!

Qin Jiu’s thoughts were still on Gu Jing’s joyous event, and then her thoughts jumped to Qin Xin’s pregnancy. Touching her chin, Qin Jiu said with interest. “So, this is a double happiness for the Second Prince!”

Ah, it would be great if Weibo were present. Qin Jiu lamented it was not enough for such a lively event to be talked about with only two or three people. It needs to be shared with tens of thousands of netizens to be livelier.

The second prince’s mansion was indeed blessed with double happiness. Because of the emperor’s decree granting marriage, the astronomer supervisor quickly selected several auspicious days before the Chinese New Year. The emperor picked the nearest, which was in the second half of the month.

Thus, there were only 20 days until the wedding!

The Ministry of Rites and Imperial Clan were immediately busy, as there were regulations for a prince’s grand wedding. According to the rules, they were supposed to prioritize the prince’s marriage, so it was inevitable that they would neglect Gu Zezhi’s grand wedding.

However, the emperor issued an oral edict to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Clan stating that the national treasury was out of money and that they would act at one’s discretion for the prince’s wedding.

Once these words came out, even if the emperor did not say anything directly, any discerning ministers who had eyes could see that the emperor was very displeased with the marriage between the second prince and Tang Fengchun.

Therefore, both the Imperial Clan and the Ministry of Rites had a clear idea of which was more important, and they only showed on the surface how to live up the second prince’s wedding.

After the emperor issued an oral edict, he turned a blind eye on the marriage of the second prince. In contrast, he occasionally inquired about Gu Zezhi’s grand wedding.

After the winter solstice, the time for winter hunting was gradually approaching and so the emperor issued a decree in Jinluan Hall that, during the winter hunting period, the sixth prince would oversee the country, with the assistance of the County King.
