Chapter 195 Betrothal Gift
Li Beichen was deeply moved when he heard Gu Lanzhi's words.
Gu Lanzhi was a person from the future who was willing to abide by the rules for him and to compromise for him. Li Beichen really wanted to give his life to Gu Lanzhi.
The two of them were sweetly together for a while, and then they started to eat lunch, and the emperor's betrothal gift to Gu Lanzhi was also moved from the palace to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in a grand manner.
Gu Lanzhi doesn't care about the betrothal gift. He doesn't value these things. What he wants is Li Beichen as a person.
Besides, the original body has seen few good things since childhood.
After the two finished their lunch, Li Beichen coaxed Gu Lanzhi to take a nap. When Gu Lanzhi fell asleep, Li Beichen had people move all the memorials from the imperial study to the bedroom.
Someone brought a table and placed it not far from Gu Lanzhi's bed. Li Beichen only needed to look up to see Gu Lanzhi sleeping soundly.
Li Beichen had to deal with state affairs, but he also had to protect his wife and children.
Li Beichen really can't live without Gu Lanzhi. Only when Gu Lanzhi is in front of him can Li Beichen feel at ease.
But when Gu Lanzhi wakes up from his nap, he will leave the palace, and the two will not be able to meet again for the next three days.
It was not until Li Beichen sent Gu Lanzhi onto the carriage that Li Beichen thought, why did he have to abide by the rules for those three days? He now really wanted to slap himself for saying those words at that time.
Gu Lanzhi lifted the car curtain and looked at Li Beichen who was reluctant to leave, smiling very happily.
When Gu Lanzhi returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the betrothal gifts from the palace had not yet been delivered!
The eldest lady pulled Gu Lanzhi into the mansion with a smile on her face, and she couldn't hide the joy in her heart.
"Brother, look at the betrothal gift His Majesty has sent you. This is the first you have received since the founding of the country. It is really too much."
At this point, the eldest lady paused, held Gu Lanzhi's hand tightly, looked into Gu Lanzhi's eyes seriously and said, "This is the intention of His Majesty. It is enough to show how much His Majesty values you as the queen."
Gu Lanzhi looked back at the people who were carrying the betrothal gifts to the mansion and smiled faintly, "Auntie, I know what you mean, and I also know how Li Beichen feels about me."
The eldest lady hit Gu Lanzhi's arm and said, "You should call him Your Majesty, not His Majesty's name."
Gu Lanzhi shrugged. The ancients took these etiquettes so seriously. Gu Lanzhi just felt it was troublesome.
"Your dowry has already been prepared for you. Your dowry has been prepared since you were born."
This was how the ancients were. Not to mention the poor families, they didn't even have the conditions to save up for a dowry.
Anyone with some family wealth would start saving for a dowry from the moment a girl or boy was born.
"You are the queen, and your wedding dress has regulations. I think it will be delivered to you in the palace in the next two days.
Once the wedding dress is delivered, there will be nothing else to prepare."
The eldest lady felt very satisfied when she saw the betrothal gift boxes piled all over the floor.
The first lady was initially somewhat resistant to entering the palace to become queen.
Life in the palace is not easy, but among those who enter the palace, few have a smooth life.
But His Majesty promised in front of so many people at the palace banquet that he would only marry a queen in this life and would not have other concubines.
Although the First Lady didn't know at that time that the Emperor's candidate for the Empress was Gu Lanzhi, but with the Emperor's attitude, the First Lady felt that the person who could ascend to the throne should have a good life.
Now, His Majesty has sent so many betrothal gifts, and the procession for delivering the gifts even circled the city of Kyoto. This allowed everyone to see clearly how much the Emperor values the Queen.
The worry in the eldest lady's heart also disappeared completely.
No matter what happens to the Emperor and Empress in the future, at least for now, His Majesty values Gu Lanzhi.
No one can guarantee that the relationship between the two will not deteriorate or become dull, but the eldest lady knows that even if the relationship between the emperor and the empress fades over time, Gu Lanzhi has the ability to protect himself and the Gu family.
“By the way, is Shu Rui in the mansion?” Gu Lanzhi asked the eldest lady.
"No, Shu Rui went to the villa. You know that he has been staying in the villa and rarely goes home since it was built."
Gu Lanzhi nodded and looked towards the direction of the Third Madam's yard. "How is the Third Madam doing recently?"
The eldest lady also followed Gu Lanzhi's gaze and looked in the direction of the third lady's courtyard, "I don't know if Shu Rui's words that night made her sad, or if she was scared by the thunderbolt.
She has been staying in her own yard these days and rarely goes out.
Even though Shu Rui didn't return home and stayed in the villa, she didn't make any movement."
Gu Lanzhi nodded after listening to it, "Auntie, you stay here and take care of the betrothal gifts. I'll go to the villa to look for Shu Rui.
I will be marrying into the palace soon, and there are some things I need to explain to Shu Rui."
"Ah? Then why don't you take stock of the betrothal gifts?"
"Auntie, just take care of it. I don't need to see it."
The eldest lady also knew Gu Lanzhi's personality and knew that he did not value these things, so she did not insist on keeping Gu Lanzhi. She just gave him a few instructions and let him go.
Gu Lanzhi's carriage slowly entered the villa. Since the villa was built, this was the first time that Gu Lanzhi entered the villa openly through the main gate.
Gu Lanzhi had already planned to make Gu Shurui the official boss, so he himself had never appeared in front of everyone. He always came to the villa secretly, arranged things, and left immediately.
"elder brother!"
When Gu Shurui heard the servant report that Gu Lanzhi had arrived, he came out to greet him.
Helping Gu Lanxia get out of the carriage, Gu Shurui said with a smile: "Why did you come to me when you were not at home looking after the betrothal gifts sent by His Majesty?"
The royal betrothal gifts circled the city, and even though the villa was outside the city, Gu Shurui had heard the news a long time ago.
As Gu Lanzhi and Gu Shurui walked into the hall, they said helplessly, "You know I'm upset looking at those things.
In a few days I won't be able to be as casual as I am now, so I'll take this opportunity to come to your villa and have some fun."
The two of them were speaking for others to hear. There were so many people visiting the villa, and they wanted to make everyone believe that this villa belonged to Gu Shurui.
"Okay, brother, you have never been to my villa, so it's just right for me to accompany you for a walk."
Gu Shurui actually took Gu Lanzhi for a stroll in the villa, and everyone they met along the way heard Gu Shurui introducing the various sceneries in the villa to Gu Lanzhi.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Gu?"
Gu Lanzhi and Gu Shurui turned around at the same time and saw a young woman with hair full of pearls and jade and a pretty face.
This villa not only provides some sex services that men like, but also many other items.
The scenery in this villa is considered to be unique in Dongshun Kingdom.
The blueprints of this villa were provided to Gu Lanzhi by the audience in the live broadcast room. Many of the designs are very advanced and the ancients had never seen such designs.
Therefore, the villa not only welcomes male guests, but also female guests come in an endless stream and all of them really like to visit the villa.
