Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 373 I don’t want her to suffer this kind of injustice

Gu Qingyuan stood together with Bai Xuan and Concubine Li. Such an exciting scene made her heart surge with excitement.

After Lu Rui took the book and the seal, he began to take the oath. His calm and powerful voice fell into everyone's ears.

"...I will be loyal to my father, care for the people, and learn how to govern a country."

That's the promise he made.

There was a warm applause from the audience, as if congratulating the prince who had been missing for more than ten years and was finally found for becoming the crown prince.

Later, Bai Huang will need to take him to worship the ancestors. After everything is done, Bai Huang will leave first, and then Lu Rui will be taken away.

On the way back, Lu Rui couldn't help but look in the direction of the crowd.

Only after seeing Gu Qingyuan nod to him did he look away.

No matter when, as long as she is there, I can feel at ease.

Bai Xuan said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, did you see that? My brother officially becomes the Crown Prince today."

Gu Qingyuan stretched out a hand to cover her mouth and said, "I saw it, but there are so many people here now, you can just call me by my name, no need to call me the emperor's sister-in-law."

The current situation is rather complicated. If someone with ulterior motives gets to know about it, it will affect Lu Rui's identity, which would be bad.

Bai Xuan blinked and asked in confusion, "Why can't I call you that? You are our sister-in-law."

Gu Qingyuan sighed and said, "Anyway, you can call me that when no one is around, but not now. Remember?"

"Oh."

Bai Xuan nodded and changed her words, "Sister Gu."

"Well, that's fine too."

Only Concubine Li, who was standing by, looked at Gu Qingyuan interacting with Bai Xuan with a serious look.

In fact, secretly, she did not want the woman who came back with her son to become his crown princess.

Firstly, their two countries are inherently different, and secondly, Gu Qingyuan's existence reminds her that her son once drifted to a foreign land and became a slave.

Although he had escaped slavery, both Gu Qingyuan and the people around him knew about his past.

But from the current perspective, her son is so dependent on her, which makes Concubine Li feel a little conflicted.

Next, there was a grand palace banquet. Lu Rui and Bai Huang sat together, while the other court officials sat together.

To celebrate, Emperor Bai even had the peacocks that had been kept in captivity released. Unlike the green peacock that he had sent to Daning State, the peacocks that now appeared in everyone's sight were of various colors.

When seeing these peacocks, everyone present exclaimed in admiration.

The peacock is their national treasure because its bright color represents auspiciousness.

Gu Qingyuan sat there, gently shaking the wine glass.

Now, Lu Rui has successfully become the prince of the Holy Land, and he will have more people around him.

Originally, when she brought Lu Rui back, she took the time to cancel his slave status.

In fact, she and Lu Rui did not sign any agreement in essence, unlike her and Wen Shubai, or Ji Mingzhao and Qi Ziyao, or Lin Xinghe, who were all formally married.

In fact, she and Lu Rui have nothing to do with each other.

the other side.

Bai Mo witnessed today's ceremony of enthroning the crown prince, but she felt very unwilling.

She has been strong-willed since she was young, and her academic performance was the best among her sisters, which is why her father noticed her.

Later, she was called to her father's side to help him deal with some things. She thought that she would be the heir.

Now it seems that my father has never thought of passing the throne to me and bringing back this prince who has been lost for who knows how many years and has no ability at all.

She still remembered how timid he was when she met him in Daning Kingdom. How could such a person support the Holy Land Kingdom?

Bai Mo drank glass after glass of wine, her heart almost filled with resentment.

The other sisters got married, but she was the only one who stayed by her father's side and occasionally helped him revise memorials.

So, why can't she succeed to the throne? Is it just because she is not a man?

Soon after the peacocks were brought up, they shook their tails and spread their feathers. Such a grand scene caused everyone to sigh.

"It seems that today is really a good day!"

"Yes, they chose to spread their feathers on the day of the crown prince's enthronement. And I heard that the green peacock that our Holy Land sent to Daning Kingdom also spread its feathers in their palace. Doesn't this mean that the crown prince that was found was enthroned as a prince? It's God's will!"

When someone said this, everyone felt it made a lot of sense.

These words naturally reached Bai Huang's ears. In fact, in order to let the peacock spread its tail, he took the trouble to arrange the venue.

He also asked the people who raised peacocks in the palace to communicate with the peacocks, which made the peacocks spread their tails after being brought out.

Following the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, Lu Rui didn't say much at the table, but he always answered Bai Huang's questions.

Until he heard the White Emperor ask him, "I wonder what kind of woman my son likes. One day, your father will have the portraits of suitable-age noble ladies in the city sent to you for your selection."

Lu Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile, "Why does your Majesty bring this up? I'm content with having a wife now."

The White Emperor said, "You are now the Crown Prince. Furthermore, I have heard that you two were not married in Daning State. Therefore, everything in the past can be disregarded."

As the crown prince, who will inherit the throne in the future, how can he have only one woman by his side?

Lu Rui clenched his fists and said, "Father, I don't want anyone else except her."

Bai Huang said angrily, "You think so now, but I'm afraid it may not be the case in the future."

After tasting power, he no longer believed that his son could be the same as before.

Lu Rui said firmly, "My feelings for my wife will never change. Moreover, if she hadn't saved me and treated me, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to see my father again."

Although a long time had passed, he still vividly remembered the experience of being sold, picked and chosen, and having his legs broken repeatedly when he tried to escape.

The White Emperor tried to persuade him again, "If you really like her, just let her stay with you as a concubine. Besides, she can't have children, so you can adopt the girl you have with another woman."

Lu Rui shook his head and said, "She won't agree, and I don't want her to suffer such an injustice."

If they insist on forcing him, he would rather not take the position of crown prince.

The two of them finished the meal on bad terms. Tired after a whole day, Lu Rui went straight back to her palace.

That night.

Gu Qingyuan was thinking about how to tell Lu Rui that she wanted to go back.

However, one of the peacocks seen at the palace banquet, which was larger and had more colorful feathers, actually appeared in her room.
