Chapter 89: The prince is too good at playing
When she got up the next morning, Gu Yunxin got up and dressed up, and a maid came to report outside the door, saying that Mama Zhong was waiting outside the queen mother's side.
This Mama Zhong is the most powerful person around the Queen Mother, and she was sent by the Queen Mother at this time, could it be related to her marriage to King Rui?
King Rui once said in his own mouth that he likes himself, isn't it because he has found a lot of people to help him in order to marry him? Actually, it's not that I don't like King Rui, King Rui back then was also a hero I envied, but because of the marriage contract with Xiao Ziming, I didn't know much about King Rui.
"Master, the Queen Mother is summoned, you can't go, the slave will help you change into the county lord's clothes." Xiangzhi said softly.
"Good. Then I will prepare some newly made pastries and bring them to the Queen Mother to taste in a while. Gu Yunxin said softly.
Lanzhi went down to prepare, Gu Yunxin sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Xiangzhi continued to groom for him, and after about a cup of tea, Gu Yunxin had already finished dressing up and walked out of Qingyun Garden.
All the way to the mansion gate, Gu Yunxin's appearance was really amazing to all the maids and maids, the eldest lady they saw on weekdays was already very beautiful, but it was not as amazing as today's side.
In a place in the Gu Mansion, Xiao Ziming and Gu Peiqing also saw this scene, and Gu Peiqing saw Xiao Ziming looking at Gu Yunxin's infatuated look, and she hated it in her heart.
Because she concealed the miscarriage, Xiao Ziming didn't pay much attention to her these days, but because she was the second lady of the Gu family, he didn't leave immediately.
Now, this Gu Qinghong has been almost a hundred days, she still has no chance to start, the hateful Hongling, who has been staying in the Zuixia Garden all day long, can't trick her into leaving, perhaps, Gu Yunxin's entry into the palace today is a good opportunity, and when the time comes, she really wants to see the painful appearance of Gu Yunxin and Gu's mother.
When she came to Funing Palace, the Queen Mother was already sitting on the main seat and tasting refreshments, Gu Yunxin respectfully stepped forward to salute and greet her, "Courtier Gu Yunxin, please say hello to the Queen Mother, and wish the Queen Mother good health." β
"Well, get up." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Gu Yunxin stood up, but she didn't mean to sit down yet, she really couldn't figure out what kind of temperament the Queen Mother was.
"Yunxin girl, yesterday King Rui mentioned to the mourning family that he wanted to marry you as the Rui princess, I don't know what you think, since the mourning family promised you the autonomy of marriage, I will not force you." The Queen Mother took a sip of milk and said lightly.
Sure enough, it's for King Rui's marriage, but the main task of his life is revenge, and on this road of revenge, he doesn't want to be tied up because of anyone or anything.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin knelt on the ground again, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the courtiers are unwilling to marry His Royal Highness King Rui, His Royal Highness King Rui is a hero in the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou, and a hero admired by Yun Xin, it's just that Yun Xin once had a marriage contract with Xiao Ziming, and he was tied up not long ago. β
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother bowed slightly, "That's a good thing, King Rui wants it."
Marrying you as a concubine, the mourning family is also unwilling, just talking about character, appearance, talent, and family background, you are impeccable, just because of the recent incident, the mourning family has to take into account the royal reputation. β
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, after the courtiers return home, they will send someone to spread the news, in this life, I wish the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, pray for the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty every day, and pray for the emperor and the queen mother to live a long life." Gu Yun kowtowed heavily.
Actually, the Queen Mother still likes Gu Yunxin very much, if there were no such things, she would be very willing to marry King Rui and Gu Yunxin, but since the emperor has the heart to pass on the throne to King Rui, he can't find a princess who is criticized.
But in this way, maybe King Rui can't be with the woman he likes, and he is willing to be inseparable from the white head of the heart, and he and the first emperor are also happy with each other, although he has not been a queen, but he can be the most intimate with the first emperor.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother slowly spoke, "Yunxin girl, you don't have to do this, since King Rui likes you, the mourning family can't bear to look at him disappointed, he is the prince, three wives and four concubines are very normal, if you want, you can be his side concubine." β
What the? To be a side concubine? Didn't this queen mother make her refuse to marry King Rui? If she became a side concubine, she would definitely be laughed at by Gu Peiqing and the Qin family, not to mention, if she wanted her mother and younger brother to be safe, she had to guard them all the time, and she didn't want to go through it again.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers think that it is better to break the fate between the prince and the courtiers, the prince may just pity Yunxin's ill-fated fate, but Yunxin doesn't want to affect others because of himself."
Seeing that Gu Yunxin was so resolute, the Queen Mother couldn't help but be slightly stunned, she was worthy of being Zhanrou's daughter, and her strong temperament was really ordinary.
"Yunxin girl, speaking of which, the mourning family and you are also relatives, and your maternal grandmother and the mourning family are cousins. The mourning family hopes that you will not be in a hurry to refuse, or go back and think about it carefully, and when you enter the palace to see the mourning family in a few days, you will tell the mourning family the answer. The Queen Mother said softly.
"Obey the will of the Queen Mother." Gu Yunxin said respectfully.
The Queen Mother was afraid that she would think that the change would make Gu Yunxin refuse the marriage, and it would be too cruel for her to be a girl, so she thought about playing the family card.
"Yun Xin, when you just entered the palace, did you bring some snacks to the mourning family? Let people bring it, and the mourning family will taste your girl's craftsmanship. The Queen Mother said with a smile.
After the business was finished, it was natural to change the topic to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, and at this moment, I heard the gurgling sound of the wheels, and I didn't need to look to know that this was King Rui coming.
Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and King Rui was in a wheelchair and was pushed in by Ling Xiao, "Grandson greets the imperial grandmother." β
"Yi'er, you're here, serve tea to King Rui." The Queen Mother looked at King Rui and said with a smile.
"Imperial grandmother, my grandson heard you outside the door that the county lord of Xiyue brought pastries into the palace, and my grandson was also hungry at this time, so let my grandson taste it too." Rui Wang said with a smile.
That mold
is as innocent as a three-year-old child, and the Queen Mother naturally will not refuse, so she asked people to bring the whole plate of pastries.
Rui Wang pinched a piece of pastry and took a bite, "Well, it's soft and delicious, sweet but not greasy, it's really good, it seems that the chef in the main courtyard of Xiyue County is good." β
"The courtiers thank His Royal Highness King Rui for his appreciation, if the prince likes it, the courtiers will let people do it and send it to the prince in the future." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Oh? Did you just bring pastries to the king? Why should the county lord of Xiyue be so stingy, it is better to give your cook to this king. King Rui said with a smile.
Give it to him? This pastry is made by herself, how can she have any cooks to send to the Rui Wangfu? Is it difficult to tell King Rui that these pastries are made by the county lord himself, and the county lord does not want to be a cook for you?
"Forgive me, the cook in the courtier's yard is not only good at making pastries, but also good at stewing soup, and the courtier's mother and younger brother need her to take care of it, I'm afraid I can't give it to the prince." Gu Yunxin said softly.
"County lord, you are the county lord of your father and mother, why do you call yourself a courtier, don't you think that the title of the county lord is not enough?" King Rui is so tidy.
"No, no, no, it's not like this, the name of the county lord is a reward from the emperor and the queen mother, why do you need to show your majesty in front of the queen mother and the prince? In front of the prince and the queen mother, it is the right thing to call yourself a courtier. Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Hehe, this king doesn't see it that way, this king thinks that the county lord feels that the identity of the county lord is not weighty enough, and he doesn't know the identity of Princess Rui, but the county lord is satisfied?" King Rui looked at Gu Yunxin and said with a smile.
What the? Princess Rui? Just now, the Queen Mother mentioned that she was not suitable for this position, and at this time, King Rui mentioned this matter again, isn't this adding to the chaos? There are two people in this house, one is the queen mother, the other is the prince, the queen mother is the emperor's mother-in-law, and the prince is the emperor's favorite son.
"The prince doesn't want to joke with the courtier, the courtier has no intention of marrying the prince." Gu Yunxin said stiffly.
Since you must offend someone, then it is better to offend King Rui, if you offend the Queen Mother, then I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of the palace smoothly today.
"Intend to marry this king? But this king is happy with the county lord, except for the county lord who does not marry in this life, the county lord is willing to watch this king live a lonely life like this? β
What? Why don't I marry? My lord, do you want to kill me to be happy, your grandmother won't do anything to you, but she can do anything to me. Your whim at this moment, but you want to exchange other people's lives.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin couldn't help but feel a little sad, and couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart, this Rui Wang is really good at playing, and he really can't see that he is so good at playing, and he is still a master.
"Lord, my aunt has already negotiated with my parents about my marriage with the prince of Dingguo Mansion, and Yun Xin has also agreed, so don't joke with Yun Xin." Gu Yunxin said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Already engaged? Don't be afraid, didn't you have a marriage contract with Xiao Ziming's guy before? If it is canceled, the marriage contract is a marriage contract, and it doesn't count if there is no lottery or asking for a name.
What's more, this king has already given the county lord a dowry gift, and the county lord has accepted it, as for asking the name, this king knows the county lord's name and birthday, and even the envoy of Qin Tianjian said that it was a godsend. If the county lord refuses to marry at this time, won't it become an abandonment of his fiancΓ©? β
What the? When did he give a dowry, and when did he ask for his name? Isn't this King Rui trying to force her to death? "Lord Wang, how have you ever been hired? The courtiers don't know. β
"Don't know? The county lord lived in the Rui Wang's Mansion, and when he returned to the house, the king prepared a generous gift to send the county lord back to his house, and those gifts were the dowry gifts for the county lord, didn't the Taifu also accept it gladly? King Rui tilted his head and smiled.
It turns out that those are the dowry? Didn't you say it was for her to make up for her body? Is it okay to go back now? However, looking at King Rui's proud appearance, it seems that he has been eaten by him in this life? How come, since you have a good plan, I also have a wall ladder.
Then let's fight and see who is the winner in the end......
