Substitute Marriage

Volume 1: Marriage Chapter 6: Choosing a Daughter-in-law

Volume 1: Marriage Chapter 6: Choosing a Daughter-in-law

May 26, 2025

Guan Junyun looked at the smiling face not far away that was very different from her usual, a smile with a hint of coyness and complacency, her cheeks flushed when she smiled, with the shyness of a young girl. She had always been a noble and elegant woman, and anyone who knew her would say she was generous and decent, never shy. The Guan Xiuyun she saw at this time was like a different person from the one she was used to seeing.
  Qiqian watched her glance out the window without blinking. She followed her lead and then smiled, “Miss, it's not possible to say that Prime Minister Zhuge will still be your brother-in-law in the future. This is not an outsider.”
  “What?” Guan Junyun looked at Qi Qian in surprise, “You mean he and sister?”
  “That's not true, everyone knows that. If it weren't for that, just think about how Madam, who is right next to Missy, would let Missy go and joke around with a strange man like that?” Qi Qian smiled with a look of not being surprised, “It's almost as if someone came to propose marriage to the general, ai! Only young lady knows nothing about this matter. The entire dynasty, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager knows about this.”
  Guan Junyun snapped back to one day, when her brother complained about Zhuge Chen's affairs, her sister-in-law had laughed at the playful remark that sooner or later, it would be a family. At that time, she had only heard it and hadn't thought about these things that had nothing to do with herself. Only now did I realize that this saying was fulfilled in my sister, and it seemed that my brother and sister-in-law had tacitly approved of this matter as well. Qi Qian was right, if her brother and sister-in-law didn't acquiesce, they wouldn't have let her sister, as a young lady of the family, go to talk and laugh with strange men in public. The rules of the boudoir were the rules that my sister-in-law taught herself every day.
  It was no wonder that Cuiyun, who had never shown any humility to anyone, had warmed up to this man. To have such a high position for her to occupy for the rest of her life would fulfill her lifelong desire to make a name for herself. Not in vain all she has done all these years, even her mother can not want to fallacy.
  The empress dowager resides in the long letter palace should be every day is full of flowers, so many palace e color girl and concubines need to the empress dowager in front of the joyful play. Especially when it comes to the big festival, the court ladies all come to kowtow and ask for peace, it is even more of a icing on the cake.
  Guan Junyun followed behind Wu Jianxue and bowed to her, once again showing her unrivaled favor in front of the Empress Dowager, addressing each of the ladies accurately, and even treating each one with a different attitude. This is the Empress Zhang Lian who is the head of the six palaces, she is not as good as her own, as for Zhang Wei, when she saw it, she only smiled slightly and walked over to Guan Junyun, ''Yun'er, sit with me. Second sister-in-law is pregnant, you're always by her side, and you need someone to watch over you.”
  “Go ahead, I'm constricting you.” Wu Jianxue smiled, “I'm afraid the fourth aunt's place will still be looking for you to talk to them later.”
  “Yes.” Guan Junyun promised before going with Zhang Wei to sit over there.
  On the first table to the left of the Empress Dowager sat two noble women, and Guan Junyun recognized one of them as his fourth aunt, Lady Zhao Sun. The other is a woman who is still beautiful but still not confused, but she looks very familiar.
  “Gyun Er, you don't even recognize the old Prime Minister's wife?” Zhang Wei could see her confusion, “Truly a great lady who doesn't leave her house, this will only be Cuiyun's mother-in-law in the future.”
  “Ah?” Hearing such words twice in one day, Guan Junyun felt her presence was superfluous.
  Zhang Wei looked at her like this, and instead, she couldn't continue to say anything. After all, there weren't many women like this, and hadn't she also wanted to be like this when she was at home? But it was not what he wanted, and when he fell into this place, he had no choice but to hide his nature deeply. Smiling, he puts a serving of honeyed prunes into her hand, “This flavor is good, it's the most outstanding snack made by the imperial kitchen.”
  Guan Junyun picked up one and took a small bite, “So sour.” As she said that, she put it down, Guan Xiuyun had already brought a plate of snacks to the other side of the table and smiled as she served the dishes in front of her fourth aunt and the old prime minister's wife, who was also her future mother-in-law.
  “Hyun-er, why don't you come over?” Zhao Wangfei's wife, Mrs. Sun, caught a glimpse of Guan Junyun sitting at a table with Zhang Wei: “You're having a chat with Your Highness, but you didn't see Fourth Aunt here?”
  “Yes.” Zhang Wei didn't wait for Guan Junyun to agree, but already agreed for her, “Fourth Auntie couldn't be wiser, Yun'er is the best at slacking off, so I'll ask her to come over.”
  Zhao Wangfei can't help but pull the old prime minister's wife Wang's wife by her side and laugh: “It's still the same as when I was a child, once upon a time when I was at home, Your Highness was with Gyun Er in one place, and was naughty and naughty in every way. Simply better than real sisters.”
  “Gyun Er?” Mrs. Wang still saw Guan Junyun for the first time, “With her sister born really exactly the same.” By the way, looked at the Empress Dowager in the side of the smooth tube Cuiyun, even though the two are similar in appearance, but this disposition is really a lot of difference. The Empress Dowager's words, the hidden meaning is not incomprehensible, if it is really to choose a daughter-in-law for their own family, then, is not to be a thousand gold coy young lady.
  The only son is the head of the hundred officials, ranked prime minister. As the prime minister's wife to do things by no means less than their own husbands, and even many times play a role than their own husbands are much more important. This matter was unknown to others, but no one knew better than Mrs. Wang. Nearly twenty years of the prime minister's wife, the storm experienced is not outsiders can understand.
  Then the future daughter-in-law, is bound to be a can be exquisite, shrewd and capable of women in order to let the Zhuge clan long to keep the favor does not fail, after all, Zhuge family father and son of the two common palm of the seal for many years, the emperor for Zhuge's taboo will never be less. If the future daughter-in-law can take up the important task of raising children, will be this layer of relationships handled impeccably, then for the Zhuge family is definitely a good thing.
  His eyes couldn't help but fall on Guan Cuiyun, who happened to be this person not far away. To be able to speak and laugh in front of the Empress Dowager was to have the Empress retreat a stone's throw away. Such a daughter-in-law could be reassuring, and everyone knew about it, even the Empress Dowager had a playful comment about it, saying only that they were a match made in heaven. If that were true, wouldn't it be heaven's will. At least Guan Xiuyun was the only woman he had ever praised in front of him.
  “Greetings to Mother Empress.” The emperor's heart is full of matters that are not good to show, in the imperial study with Zhuge Chen and other ministers have already been discussing the whole afternoon, even during the evening meal are still talking about these things. The whole brain is thinking about the thing about the Princess and Fan, this thing did not come suddenly, is already in the secret talk for a long time, have not been taken to the top to say.
  “The emperor's face is not looking good, is there something big that has upset the emperor?” Empress Dowager Wu nodded her head and motioned for the Emperor to take a seat at her hand. Only then did the Empress take a seat at the bottom of the Emperor's hand, at this time in the Empress Dowager's Changxin Palace there were only the Emperor and Empress plus the Empress's closest maid, Qiu'er, even the Empress Dowager's most trusted Guan Xiuyun had been asked to go out.
  “My son wants to discuss something with Empress Mother.” The Emperor glanced at the Empress Dowager, who was not his own biological mother. Sometimes the nominal mother and son looked warm and fuzzy, but on the inside they couldn't say anything about being of one mind.
