Chapter 181: Engagement
When a carriage that can symbolize status slowly turned through Huaxiang, and gradually stopped in front of the Dingguo Mansion, the white-faced and beautiful little waiter who was sitting in front of the car jumped off the car quickly, and then there were more entourages bowed down carefully from the back of the car, and stepped forward to open the curtain with their hands and feet, Wei An, who was wearing court clothes, leaned out, stepped on the footstool and got off the car, standing in front of the Dingguo Mansion, his head raised slightly, looking at the open main door in front of him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, full of spring breeze proud. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gu Jingxi, who had been dressed, had already brought Gu Jingzhi and Gu Jingming below to greet him when he heard the news at this moment, crossed the threshold, and stepped forward with a smile: "Wei Changgong." ”
Looking at such a welcoming scene, Wei An's eyes were slightly satisfied, and he only arched his hand and said, "It's really frustrating to greet the prince and the two adults." ”
Gu Jingxi's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Wei Changgong is announcing the holy decree today, just like seeing the saint, where can I use the word "torment." ”
Gu Jingxi said this, Gu Jingzhi and Gu Jingming naturally smiled and echoed from the side, Wei An's eyes smiled even deeper, and his originally straight back couldn't help but straighten a little straighter.
Seeing this, Gu Jingxi glanced at it slightly, and then turned to a gesture of invitation and said, "Father and the people in the mansion are all in the main hall to greet the holy decree, and Wei Chang is invited." ”
Wei An pretended to prevaricate, pretending to be unable to erase his feelings, so he took the lead in raising his feet first, Gu Jingxi naturally advanced from the side, and Gu Jingzhi and Gu Jingming followed closely behind.
When he came to the main hall and saw everyone wearing clothes and makeup, as soon as Wei An crossed the threshold, he walked towards Gu Zhengde and said, "Old Gu Ge, I'm here to bother me again today." ”
Gu Zhengde smiled with his eyebrows, obviously looking kind but faintly polite, and also arched his hand: "It's right to work hard for Wei Changgong today." ”
Everyone looked at the scene where the two of them came and went and seemed familiar, and they all smiled, until the atmosphere gradually became lively, Wei An glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Gu Yanling, and the smile in his eyes couldn't help but bring a little bit of traction.
"Today is a good day for Miss Gu and your mansion, such a noble and festive errand is handed over to me, it should be a red eye for others. ”
Saying that, Wei An stood up and said with a smile: "I won't delay, let's get the order first." ”
Gu Zhengde smiled and signaled everyone to get ready, and a chamberlain carefully came up with a tray containing the holy decree, Wei An respectfully took it, and then unfolded, his tone solemn without losing the kindness of the heavenly family.
"The eldest granddaughter of the Gu family of the Dingguo Mansion received the order-"
Hearing the high proclamation, Gu Yanling held her skirt with both hands dignified and calmly, and then respectfully and steadily knelt down slowly surrounded by everyone, although she looked flat, her eyes moved down slightly, and her hands were calmly placed in front, neither humble nor arrogant, and the girl's dignified and atmospheric voice gradually sounded loudly in the hall.
"Courtesy Gu Yanling, respectfully invite the Holy Longen. ”
Hearing the girl's solemn voice that was not nervous at all, and seeing the girl's forehead knocked on the ground, but still did not reduce the faint momentum of the noble girl, Wei An's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, but a little unstable gradually grew in his heart.
No matter how good a person is, once it is beyond his control, no matter how good he is, it is useless, and some are just a greater threat. It seems that the Gu family is an old fox who gave birth to a litter of little foxes.
Wei An calmly lowered his eyes, raised his head slightly, unfolded the Ming Huang Holy Decree embroidered with the clawed dragon quite respectfully, and looked at the people kneeling on the ground condescendingly, his voice was much higher.
"By heaven, the emperor said. I only have the merit of virtue and virtue, and the work of longification and education. Internal and external governance, Yu Mao Yonghe. The ceremony was prepared. Indoctrination is the cause of prosperity. The Gu clan is the granddaughter of the Duke of Dingguo. Zhong Xiang family, Yuxiu famous family, temperament and Zhuang, degree of etiquette, Roujia fan, I look up to the queen mother, and I am specially selected as the eldest grandson of the emperor. It is still filial piety, Kezan is diligent, Maoben branch Yiye rests, and Zuozong Temple Weixin worships. The special Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day to set the wedding, Qin Zai. ”
When the last sound fell, there was silence in the main hall, only the tail note of the proclamation was still lingering, trembling slightly, making people can't help but know that all this is not a dream.
Gu Yanling, who was kneeling there at this moment, was slightly distracted, but before others could notice it, the girl had already gotten up again, put her hands in front of her eyebrows, and said respectfully again: "Courtier Gu Yanling, thank you to the Holy Longen." ”
The words fell, the girl once again put her hands flat, slowly bent down, when the forehead touched the cold and smooth floor tiles again, the girl's palms gradually became a little hot, I don't know why, obviously the heart has already been prepared, but at this moment the heart is still like beating a small drum, the drum beat from light to heavy, from slow to dense, as if thousands of thoughts are blocked at this moment.
In the previous life, the same people, the same scene, when she saw Wei An with a face full of affection, her heart did not fluctuate, and when she heard the marriage gift, there was no ripple, at that time, it seemed that she was just going from one family to another, and what she was going to spend her life with was just a political ally who could allow them to take care of the family and the Xie family for a lifetime.
There is no familiarity, and there is no affection.
But in this life, from the inexplicable loss of not seeing him at her birthday banquet, from the inexplicable joy of hearing his sentence "I want to marry you", and from the inexplicable fluctuations when he touched his eyes full of tender feelings.
She knew that she had unknowingly fallen into his warmth.
This time, just as he married her only because of her, she married him only because of him, not because of the emperor and the East Palace behind him, not because of his future throne.
Feeling the slight heat in his eyes, Gu Yanling calmly covered it up, and then raised his head, without the distraction and emotion at that moment, some were just as dignified as ever.
Seeing that the girl put her hands up in front of her eyebrows, Wei An also bent down, politely sent the holy decree to the girl with both hands, and then said with a smile: "Eldest grandson, please accept the decree." ”
Gu Yanling pretended to take it with a shy smile from the girl, and Wei An immediately straightened up and smiled: "The queen mother also ordered me to send the eldest grandson today a set of gems and pure gold three phoenix beads that were rewarded by the saint when she was crowned queen. ”
As the eldest concubine of the emperor, it was natural to enter the palace to participate in the court, but now that the queen has been granted permission to wear the gift of the emperor when she was crowned, the significance is extraordinary. It can be seen that even the emperor acquiesced in this matter.
has a prominent family background, but is deeply liked by the emperor, which is clearly showing everyone the dignity of the future emperor's eldest concubine.
The royal family never does useless things.
"The courtiers obey the queen's will. ”
Wei An nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Gu Zhengde on the side and said: "The two happy events of the eldest grandson concubine are the will of the old minister, and the happy wine of the eldest grandson concubine in the future, the old minister doesn't know if he can go and get the joy of your mansion." ”
Wei An, who is in power, the emperor's close ministers, and even the princes and ministers are eager to shout "Father Weng" in private, but at this moment, he took the initiative to ask for a glass of wine, which does seem to be flattering and flattering, but although others look at it like this, Gu Zhengde is eyes are drawn and left a contemplation in his heart.
"Naturally, I will order someone to personally deliver an invitation to Wei Changgong. ”
Wei An smiled in his eyes when he heard this, and turned to look at Gu Yanling respectfully with deep meaning and said, "At that time, I will take care of all the affairs of the celebrant in advance, and sit in the palace and wait for the banquet." ”
