The news of Gu Yuan and Jiujiu's frequent sightseeing could not be hidden from the young masters and young ladies of the Capital City.
It was rumored that after the Flower-Admiring Banquet, Gu Yuan fell in love with Miss Su and invited her out every day. Finally, Miss Su agreed. The two were now in love with each other. A few days ago, Gu Yuan was ready to propose marriage to Miss Su.
After hearing that the fairy Jiujiu had been taken by Gu Yuan, the scholarly young master was sad that his little fairy had been taken. But when he thought of Gu Yuan's talent and ability, he was full of blessings.
After all, who could match such a fairy except for an excellent man like Gu Yuan?
When the young ladies of the Capital City heard that Jiujiu and Gu Yuan were together, their first reaction was to feel sad.
After all, who wouldn't like such an excellent young master like Gu Yuan?
They dreamed of being with Gu Yuan day and night, but they did not expect that Jiujiu would take Gu Yuan down after meeting him once at the Flower-Admiring Banquet.
But at the same time, they were relieved.
After all, a rich young master like Gu Yuan, who was still unmarried at the age of twenty, was obviously very arrogant.
Later on, they fell in love with a peerless beauty like Su Qingcheng. Although they were also beautiful, when they stood next to Su Qingcheng, they looked like willows.
Willows could not compete with the sun and moon.
Moreover, although Gu Yuan was gone, the other young masters were not bad.
If Jiujiu and Gu Yuan were together, the other young masters would give up. For them, it was not a bad thing.
Compared to the other young ladies, they knew that Gu Yuan would not like them from the beginning.
Although they were a little disappointed at first, they quickly adjusted their mentality and could even comfort themselves.
But Li Rui was different.
Li Rui had thought that her family background was not inferior to Su Qingcheng's, and her talent was not inferior to Su Qingcheng's. It was just that her appearance was not as good as Su Qingcheng's.
But beauty was like bones. When you were old, no matter how beautiful you were when you were young, you would still have white hair and wrinkles. Wasn't it the same?
When Su Qingcheng was young, she used her face to charm people. When she was old, could she continue to rely on this face?
Therefore, Li Rui had always thought that the person who liked Su Qingcheng must be a superficial person who only cared about looks.
Gu Yuan, on the other hand, was handsome and talented. He was definitely not a superficial person who only cared about appearances.
Li Rui was aware that her appearance was not good enough, so she tried her best to fill herself up with her talents so that she could be more compatible with Gu Yuan.
She was even prepared to wait for a period of time for her father to personally visit and talk to Prime Minister Gu about her passing through Gu Yuan.
But now, Gu Yuan actually fell in love with Su Qingcheng, an embroidered pillow with nothing but looks.
The two of them were even traveling together, and there were already rumors that they were getting engaged.
How could Li Rui, who had always been at loggerheads with Jiujiu and had always liked Gu Yuan, accept this reality?
In other words.
Li Rui and Jiujiu were still at loggerheads. Li Rui's disgust for Jiujiu was bone-deep.
Li Rui could accept Gu Yuan marrying any young lady from any family, but she could not accept Gu Yuan marrying Jiujiu.
Because to her, this meant that she had completely lost the battle with Jiujiu.
She liked Gu Yuan and wanted to marry him. However, at this moment, in her eyes and heart, Gu Yuan didn't look like the person she wanted to marry. Instead, he looked more like a trophy of war.
One was the spoils of war that she would get if she won the battle against Jiujiu.
Compared to the fact that she had no chance with Gu Yuan, Li Rui cared more about the fact that Jiujiu had Gu Yuan and she had lost to someone she had always looked down on.
But no matter what Li Rui thought, Gu Yuan was already engaged to Jiujiu. He would officially marry Jiujiu on the eighth day of the next year.
Those who had originally looked down on Marquis Su came to visit.
When Marquis Su wanted to marry Jiujiu to the Emperor in exchange for a good future, everyone laughed at Marquis Su for overestimating himself.
But now, although Jiujiu could not marry the Emperor, she was married to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was the most promising person. Although he could not compare to the Emperor, his future was limitless.
Those who had previously laughed at Marquis Su realized once again that being good-looking was not a bad thing.
At least, he could rely on his pretty face to win a good future.
At least, if he could not enter the palace, he could marry his daughter to a court official.
Jiujiu and Gu Yuan's marriage attracted a lot of attention, but for Jiujiu, it did not affect her life.
She still stayed at home. Every few days, she would go out to play for a day at Gu Yuan's invitation. Most of the time, Jiujiu preferred to stay with Gu Yuan in the back garden. They would make a pot of good tea and eat snacks and drink tea. Their days were very comfortable.
In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the New Year.
In the wee hours of that day, Jiujiu was pulled out of bed to take a bath and change her clothes. When everything was ready, it was already early in the morning.
Jiujiu sat on the bed, holding an apple that her mother had given her. Her mother had repeatedly told her to hold the apple well. This meant that she and Gu Yuan would be safe in the future.
After saying these words.
Jiujiu hugged the apple and sat on the bed, taking a nap.
The noisy sound of firecrackers indicated the arrival of the wedding procession, and also indicated that Gu Yuan had arrived.
Jiujiu blinked her eyes that were filled with tears due to sleepiness. When she opened them again, she saw a pair of feet.
They were very big, at least 43 yards long. These were Gu Yuan's feet.
Gu Yuan lowered his head to look at the girl with a red veil, obediently sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for him. His heart melted.
Today, the girl that he had been thinking about was going to become his wife. She was the girl that he would hold hands with and spend a long life with.
From today onwards, the two of them would live and die together, share honor and disgrace together, share joys and sorrows together, and have children together.
Gu Yuan chuckled. His face that was as gentle as jade under his bright red robe was like a luminous pearl. Everyone in the room couldn't help but gasp.
So handsome.
"Wife, I'll take you home."
Gu Yuan said with a smile.
Jiujiu didn't say anything.
Because Jiujiu's little brother was still young and couldn't carry Jiujiu. The matter of carrying Jiujiu onto the bridal sedan could only be done by Jiujiu's father, Marquis Su.
Marquis Su looked at the man who caused his daughter to be unable to enter the palace as a favored concubine, but promised him the day before the wedding that he would only have Jiujiu in his life. He sighed.
Although his daughter couldn't enjoy the best glory and wealth in the world, it was good to have a husband who treated her sincerely.
Marquis Su carried Jiujiu onto the bridal sedan.
Watching the bridal sedan gradually disappear into the distance,
Marquis Su couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the corners of his eyes.
The corners of his eyes were already wet with tears.
Alas, she was his daughter after all, and a daughter that he raised with care. How could he bear to part with her?
Marquis Su sighed and turned to grab his little brother Su, who was just as reluctant as he was, back.
