Chapter 181: Refusal

But as long as you can save your life and survive, what can these be?

The crown prince can't fight the three princes at all. Even if he didn't help the three princes behind his back, it was only a matter of time before the three princes wanted to defeat the crown prince. Maybe five years, maybe ten years.

He couldn't open his mouth to persuade his grandfather and father to leave the prince's affairs alone, and he was powerless to change the doomed ending. All he could do was to try his best to stay away from the court, away from the fight between the three princes and the crown prince. Try to wait for this qiē to come calmly and objectively, and try to protect the safety of your family.

That's all!

As for what will happen to the prince in the future...... What does it have to do with him?

The indifference in Gu Xinian's eyes was so obvious that Empress Gu couldn't see it, and the smile on her face was finally completely gone. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Xi Nian, you and Qi'er have been like brothers since childhood. Do you want to fall out completely for the sake of a woman? ”

This sentence was like a sharp knife that pierced Gu Xinian's heart.

Gu Xinian's smile was stunned, and his eyes turned cold.

Is it just for Shen Qiuyu? Maybe it was at first, but later on, it was mixed in with too many other things. The unwillingness and resentment of the lover to be robbed, as well as the ambition of the man and the ** of power, have become his demons. let him step by step go to the opposite side of the prince. He deliberately no longer thought about the fact that he had once been like a brother and sister to the prince, and only regarded the prince as his enemy. After a long time, this obsession has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, even if he knows that it is a bloody road of no return, he can only go on until the catastrophe is gone......

The moment I opened my eyes again, it was like a world away. Even if everything has not happened yet, it is still deeply engraved in his heart, and it is extremely clear. He forced himself to let go of all his resentment and unwillingness, forced himself to forget what had happened, and just wanted to live peacefully.

But there's always someone. Remind him of this qiē from moment to moment.

For example, Shen Qiuyu, who appeared in front of him, such as the third prince who was desperately trying to use him to deal with the crown prince, such as Empress Gu, who tried every possible way to let him join the prince to help the prince......

"That thing, it's that Qi'er can't stand you." Since the topic was clarified, Queen Gu simply said bluntly: "However, the matter is already like this, and there is no way." The big husband has no wife. With your appearance and character, you can't marry any kind of woman, why always worry about Shen Qiuyu. ”

A sneering sneer flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes, and he retorted lightly: "Auntie, you misunderstood." I've long forgotten about her. ”

In this world, the person he hates the most is neither the ruthless and ruthless Third Prince, nor the weak and incompetent prince who disregards brotherhood. It's the beautiful woman with a heart like a scorpion.

He was very glad that when he was reborn, Shen Qiuyu had already married the crown prince. If it had been a few months earlier, he really didn't know if he would have killed Shen Qiuyu with his own hands when he was impulsive. Now, let the prince go and accept the grace of the beauty!

It's a pity. Although what he said was sincere, Queen Gu didn't believe it at all.

If Gu Xinian had really forgotten Shen Qiuyu, why did he refuse to marry a wife so far? Why are you so estranged from the prince? Why is it that he is lazy and refuses to even enter the court as an official? In the final analysis, it's still because of Shen Qiuyu's grudge against the prince!

Queen Gu still refused to give up lobbying: "Xi Nian, it's a pity that your talent and learning have been wasted in vain." If you don't want to go into the sixth. Why don't you go to the Hanlin Academy? I'll say ...... to the emperor."

"Aunt," Gu Xinian's voice was neither high nor low, cold and polite: "Everyone has their own ambitions." I love the way I live now. I also ask for my aunt's understanding. ”

Looking at Queen Gu's face that changed color instantly, Gu Xinian added lightly: "Auntie, don't worry, I have no interest in the affairs of the DPRK and China." Although the third prince looked for me several times, I didn't promise him anything. ”

One of the reasons why Empress Gu was so anxious to win him over was naturally that she was worried that he would stand on the side of the third prince. Although the crown prince is his aunt and cousin. But the third prince is also his aunt and cousin. If he stood on the side of the third prince, it would be even worse for the crown prince.

Hear this. Empress Gu's face looked a little better. But he was still a little dissatisfied with Gu Xinian's attitude of retreating in every way: "Since you don't want to join the company for the time being, then wait a little longer." ”

Gu Xinian smiled noncommittally, patiently accompanied Queen Gu for a moment, and then got up to say goodbye.

Empress Gu nodded and agreed, and said with a smile: "If you are free, you might as well come to the palace more often in the future." ”

Gu Xinian replied casually. Before leaving, he suddenly threw down another sentence: "Auntie, Yu'er is still young, and her temperament is cowardly and timid, if she sees someone, she is afraid that she will be rude." ”

This thoughtless sentence made Queen Gu's face change slightly. What does Gu Xinian mean by that? Could it be that he had already guessed her intentions?

Gu Xinian didn't say anything, nor did he look at Queen Gu again, so he brushed his sleeves away.

After Gu Xinian left, the smile on Queen Gu's face suddenly faded. What had been planned was now happening in bulk. If he continues to act in the original way, he is afraid that he will arouse Gu Xinian's dissatisfaction......

After hesitating for a moment, Queen Gu still couldn't make up her mind, so she ordered the female official to call Mama Rong for questioning.

Mama Rong came over soon, and was about to salute, when she heard Queen Gu say lightly: "Excuse me, you have been in the Dingguo Mansion these days, and you should always have some understanding of Xiyu's temperament." Let's tell this palace. ”

Mama Rong pondered for a moment, and responded cautiously: "Miss Gu's sunken fish and geese are as beautiful as flowers, and her temperament is very soft and lovely. ”

When you are on an errand in the palace, the most important thing is to figure out your intentions, and you have to be more cautious and careful when you speak. Mama Rong couldn't figure out the intention of Queen Gu's question for a while, so she simply picked the best words to say.

Queen Gu's eyes flashed: "What is her appearance, isn't it clear in this palace?" Hongu asked how her temperament was? "Is it really like Mrs. Zheng said, even seeing the living on weekdays will be cramped and uneasy.

Seeing that Queen Gu's tone was a little impatient, Mama Rong dared to be sloppy again, and hurriedly responded: "Miss Gu is innocent and simple, and she doesn't like to talk much. It's true that you're a little nervous when you see a living person. ”

Empress Gu snorted, thought for a moment, and then casually ordered her to retreat.

Mama Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, retreated out of Queen Gu's sight, and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the female officer Yue hurriedly walking over.

"Lady Yue, where are you going?" Mama Rong couldn't help but ask.

The lady in law smiled and said, "The queen wants to see the princess of Dingguo alone, so she ordered me to arrange it." "If you want to meet alone, you naturally have to find another quiet place, and what you want to discuss must be important things, and it is not appropriate for others to know.

Mama Rong comprehended, and immediately stopped talking and stopped talking.

The lady in law quietly walked up to Mrs. Zheng and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Mrs. Zheng was secretly surprised, but her face was silent and responded with a smile. smiled casually at Sun: "The queen wants to talk to me alone for a while, so I'll come when I go." ”

Sun hummed casually, his attention still focused on the singing and dancing in the field.

Mrs. Zheng took in Sun's reaction and secretly sneered in her heart. Empress Gu talked to her in private, and she knew that there was nothing good. Sun pretended to be deaf and dumb at this time

Mrs. Zheng walked out of the flower hall with the female official and entered the inner room of the Fengyi Palace. The palace maids served refreshments, and the female officials accompanied Mrs. Zheng with a smile and gossip, and the figure of Queen Gu appeared.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly got up to greet her, and was about to salute, when Queen Gu smiled and took her hand: "Okay, okay, there are no outsiders here, what else do you want to do with these false courtesies." Come and sit and talk. ”

Empress Gu was so enthusiastic, but it made Mrs. Zheng's heart more and more uneasy. There was no show on his face, and he sat down with Queen Gu with a smile. Since Empress Gu was not in a hurry to get to the point, Mrs. Zheng just didn't know, and smiled and chatted with Empress Gu for a while. In other words, it's nothing more than an inconsequential gossip.

Queen Gu led the topic to Gu Xiyu without a trace: "I haven't seen Yu'er for so many years, I really didn't expect her to be so smart." ”

Mrs. Zheng chuckled in her heart, but said with a smile in her mouth: "Yu'er's appearance doesn't follow me, but it is a little similar to the queen mother before she entered the palace!" "It turned out that Queen Gu specially called her here for Yu'er......

Sure enough, Queen Gu said with a smile: "The male should marry and the female should marry, and Yu'er is also thirteen, has the family matter been decided?" ”

Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed: "Yu'er's situation, the queen mother probably knows something!" She has been withdrawn since she was a child and does not like to talk. He refused to go out to meet guests, and he refused to see the living. Don't hide it from the queen, I'm also worried about her family! With her temperament, how can anyone be willing to come to the door to propose marriage in the future? Taking a step back, even if someone comes to propose, we don't dare to respond lightly. Wouldn't it be even worse if she couldn't adapt to her in-laws' family after she got married? Thinking about it, I can only wait for another two years, and it's not too late to wait for Yu'er's temperament to stabilize. ”

She said such a frank confession, Queen Gu couldn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is too worried." When a girl grows up, she has to marry and have children. I want to mention a family matter to Yu'er, but I don't know what my sister-in-law wants. ”

She guessed right! Empress Gu actually hit Yu'er with the idea.

Mrs. Zheng's heart sank, and the smile on her face did not decrease: "I don't know which prince of the mansion actually invited the queen to protect the media?" ”

Gu Xiyu stayed at home, and not many people knew her. With a reputation for being withdrawn, who would ask the queen to protect the media? It's Queen Gu's own meaning at all!

Thinking deeper, if Gu Xiyu had no use value, would Queen Gu still be so enthusiastic? ——
