Chapter 1863 Peerless Beauty (36)

Gu Yan didn't care about marrying a wife and having children.

Gu Yan also doesn't need a woman.

There was nothing in this world that he could see.

Being the regent is not because of power, but because of the entrustment of the former emperor.

Living... seems to be quite boring in the first place.

Why do you have to marry a concubine who is well-matched?

Gu Yan thought for a few days to understand this truth.

*

At the end of the year, Gu Yan held a banquet by himself, but he impatiently appeared.

Just show up at the banquet, and then correct the paperwork in the study, and leave the banquet to Xia Ling to take full responsibility.

Xia Ling really couldn't figure out his attitude.

If you say you don't plan to choose a princess, why hold this banquet.

If it is about choosing a princess, then giving her the power to choose is to let her choose a princess by herself?

Xia Ling himself didn't understand.

As for Gu Yan doing this, the noble ladies who attended the banquet did not understand.

Don't look at Gu Yan's usual temperament, the wars back then, because of successive years of fighting, the entire capital was also wiped out by him, Gu Yan has the reputation of being cold-blooded and ruthless.

However, he is good-looking, and besides being a bit more sinister, he also has monstrous power in his hands.

Many noble ladies don't talk about it, but they actually like Gu Yan very much in their hearts.

It is rare to have this opportunity. During this year, the noble ladies have seen how carefree and pampered Xia Ling is with Gu Yan, and how beautiful it is in this capital.

Who doesn't think that if she marries Gu Yan, she will be Xia Ling's second?

Apart from not being as good looking as Xia Ling, they were born noble, not to mention talented, and they were all well-matched to Gu Yan.

There are not a few noble ladies who think highly of themselves, so half of the noble ladies in the capital came to this banquet.

"Madam Xia, when will the lord come?" A young lady stepped forward to inquire.

Xia Ling looked indifferently at the well-dressed young girl.

Speaking of which, she and these girls are rivals in love. This lady is really bold, and a group of people came up to ask her.

"My lord is not coming, I'm in charge of this banquet." Xia Ling replied.

A group of people listened with their ears up, hearing that Gu Yan was not coming, and hearing that Xia Ling was in charge of everything, most of the ladies looked at each other, most of Fang's heart was broken, and they didn't know what Gu Yan was doing...

When choosing the princess, he actually let a concubine in the mansion make the decision.

With such contempt, if they enter the Prince Regent's Palace in the future, how can they establish rules in front of this concubine?

"Mrs. Xia, the scented tea in the mansion is very delicious. I don't know if I can ask you for some after the banquet. When I go back, let the maids in my mansion make it up, and learn the elegance of the Prince Regent's mansion?"

Among the crowd, a woman in a white dress walked over with a smile.

She was very elegant, different from the aloofness of Lin Di's daughter. Looking at this woman, anyone can see her demeanor.

This gentle and magnanimous appearance is full of poetic and bookish temperament.

The most important thing is that she has a pair of good-looking eyes. Looking at these eyes, they are black and white, revealing reason and calmness.

Such a woman, it seems that nothing will affect her, and she will never do anything to be jealous.

Xia Ling looked at Yang Wan.

With this appearance, it is the face of a serious wife.

Looking at such a woman, who would have thought that she would also be jealous, have secrets in her heart, and secretly collude with someone on the day of her wedding to kill Xia Lingzhang from her previous life in the yard?

"I'm so sorry, Miss Yang." Xia Ling curled the corners of her lips.

It's great, she was reborn, knowing people and faces but not her heart.

This Yang Wan seems to have the capital to make Gu Yan trust.

As for men, if they always look at women's beauty, they will believe that all the women in his backyard coexist peacefully.

Therefore, when she saw Yang Wan's face and was watched so sincerely by Yang Wan, Xia Ling understood that the reason she lost to Yang Wan in her previous life was not because Yang Wan was born better and looked better than her, but because Yang Wan made her lose to Yang Wan. Gu Yan believed that she could be the princess of the Prince Regent's Palace.

"This scented tea is a unique recipe of the Prince Regent's Mansion. If you like it, it's just a banquet. I'll send you some. The recipe is fine, so don't disclose it." Xia Ling said with a smile, and also looked at Yang Wan.

The confrontation between the two women was instant.

Yang Wan instinctively sensed that Xia Ling didn't like her.

But how is it possible?

She has always been able to hide her emotions very well, and she is not so outstanding, which is also her trump card, as long as no one she wants to associate with will say that she is not good.

This Xia Ling, did he know that she likes Gu Yan?

Yang Wan gently pinched her palm with her fingertips, she smiled gratefully at Xia Ling, peaceful and gentle.

"Then thank you Madam Xia."

"No thanks." Xia Ling's lips curved even deeper.

Compared to house fighting, compared to scheming, who did Xia Ling lose to?

In the previous life, she was still able to play with the scheming in the court to sway her, but she was negligent on Gu Yan.

But in this life, she gave up plotting for Xia Guo and lived completely for herself. Under her guard, a little Yang Wan had no chance to get close to Gu Yan.

&

Seeing Yang Wan, Xia Ling suddenly became in a good mood.

After all, as long as Gu Yan is not blind, he will never abandon her and marry Yang Wan again in this life.

It's just a wife's face, what Gu Yan needs is never these!

She may not be his concubine, but she will never let any thoughtful woman get a chance to get close to Gu Yan.

Xia Ling smiled and presided over the whole banquet at the banquet.

Although, she is not qualified enough, not a princess.

But Gu Yan didn't show up and sent Li Yu to press the stage for her, so the banquet was over, the host and guests had a good time, and no one could say anything bad about Xia Ling.

Returning from the Prince Regent's Mansion, Yang Wan was sitting there with her mother beside her.

Because Yang Wan likes Gu Yan, the Yang family also thinks about their own daughter.

However, after watching this night, Mother Yang couldn't help asking Yang Wan.

"Wan'er, you always have ideas. Before we received rumors that Gu Yan was going to choose the princess. But looking at the banquet today, it doesn't look like Gu Yan, but it seems that he is going to put this on the table. Mrs. Xia, who is not on the table, will help her become a princess? Give her momentum?"

"Impossible!" Yang Wan retorted instinctively.

She reacted so quickly, she lost her composure.

Mother Yang looked at her disapprovingly.

When she regained her senses, Yang Wan lowered her eyes, only staring at the tip of her shoe.

"It may be that the Prince Regent has something to do, and the Palace of the Regent has no one to use, so Madam Xia can only be entertained."

"Oh, maybe." Yang's mother sighed, and grabbed Yang Wan's hand, "But, no matter how excusable, this Gu Yan is inherently capricious, turning his face and denying others, and he loves this summer so much. Ma'am, even if... you really have the chance to marry him and become a princess, you have no chance of winning against that woman."
