"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the minister is a layman, and he eats at the same table with His Majesty, so the minister naturally feels pressured." Yu Zeyan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

The emperor didn't speak, just stared at Yu Zeyan. He played with the wrench on his finger and smiled as if he remembered someone.

Yu Zeyan was neither humble nor arrogant, his kneeling body did not rise and fall, and he did not get up and sit down when he saw the stool given by the emperor.

"You kid can talk." Seeing this, Concubine Qi hurriedly came out to play a round.

She got up and helped Yu Zeyan up, "Zeyan was raised in the palace, what kind of Majesty doesn't know what he is, it's just a living little splash." ”

Concubine Qi looked at Yu Zeyan and said with a gentle smile: "Since King Changning went, you have rarely entered the palace, and Qi Niangniang has almost forgotten what you look like." ”

King Changning is the brother of the current emperor and the deceased father of his son Yu Zeyan. The deeds of the two young men in Xianyi and Ma Ding Liuzhou were widely praised back then, but now that the Si people have passed away, all they remember is the emperor of the Yu Dynasty on the dragon throne.

Yu Zhiyan quietly avoided the hand held by Concubine Qi, and he laughed and said, "Thank you Qi Niangniang for still remembering the choice." ”

The emperor smiled, he took a sip of tea, it seemed to be a little hot, and sent someone to replace it with a new pot. When the new tea was served, he said: "In a blink of an eye, you have reached the age when it is time to discuss your relatives, how do you take care of the little girl of the Zhan family?" ”

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Without his father and mother, His Majesty and his mother treat Zhiyan as if they were their own children, and everything is up to His Majesty. Yu Zeyan replied.

He knew that the emperor was not called into the palace to discuss with him, and he heard that this Gu Houye had been announced to the palace before the draft, and he was afraid that this matter had already been decided.

The words that the little girl of the Gu family said in front of His Majesty today seemed to be brainless, but she couldn't say, maybe Gu Houye had already discussed with her.

Yu Zeyan was thoughtful, he really wanted to push this marriage. The father is leaving, this matter has not been clarified, how can he be in the mood to engage in those inexplicable feelings between men and women.

But judging from the current signs, this marriage should be a sure thing at present. The engagement is simple, and discussing what messy things during the marriage period can help you drag it out, but in the end, you can find a reason to force the Gu family to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage.

"I look at that girl and she is straightforward, and she dares to say anything." Concubine Qi covered her mouth and smiled.

The emperor did not speak, and only the crisp porcelain sound of the bowl and chopsticks colliding was heard in the huge hall. He tasted the freshly served jade shrimp ball and said, "This shrimp is well done." ”

He turned to look at Yu Zeyan and said lightly: "Then this matter is settled." ”

At the same time, the Gu family's carriage picked up Gu Nian early.

"Miss!" Qiu Tong said anxiously, "When you go back to the house, you have to be careful to talk, now the master doesn't know how angry he is!" ”

"What is he angry about, I originally said not to enter the palace." Gu Nian muttered to himself.

Qiu Tong didn't seem to hear clearly, she lifted the curtain of the carriage, "Miss, what are you talking about?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Gu Nian snorted haha.

Seeing that Qiu Tong looked sad, her mouth was about to deflate to the ground, and she complained softly: "It is said that this Changning prince Yu Xueyan is a broken sleeve, why is the young lady confused and wants to marry him?" ”

"Who knows how confused I was!" Gu Nian secretly regretted it, beating his chest, I knew that this emperor was not only old, but also very handsome, so I wouldn't do this useless thing.

There were a lot of people on the street, and some people recognized the Gu family's carriage and talked about it.

"Look, isn't that the Gu family's carriage!"

"Yes, look at that maid, she looks like the personal maid of the third miss of the Gu family, presumably this third miss of the Gu family is in this carriage!"

Gu Nian listened to these words, and he was very noisy. She pulled the curtain shut and whispered to Qiu Tong, "Don't keep talking to me, just pretend that there is no one inside." If anyone asks about me, say I'm dead. ”

The carriage turned around the corner and entered the alley. The stone road in this alley was bumpy, and Gu Nian quickly spit out the meatloaf he had eaten in the morning. This alley is a shortcut to the Houfu, and as the people on the street speak more and more unpleasantly, Qiu Tong and the groom discuss taking some more remote roads.

The alley is one-way and can only be passed by a horse-drawn carriage. After walking for a short time, the carriage stopped.

Gu Nian got up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's His Royal Highness the Third Prince." There was a slight nervousness in Qiu Tong's voice.

Gu Nian pulled the curtain and looked at a carriage parked at the intersection of the road not far in front of the alley.

The carriage was tied with a royal unicorn pendant, and not far from the carriage, in the alley, stood a man in white.

Gu Nian squinted and took a closer look, as if it was really the third prince who sent her back to the mansion that night.

She hurriedly got out of the car and saluted respectfully: "It's just that I passed by here and disturbed the Third Highness, and I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins." ”

She pretended to be presentable, and said to the horseman, "Quickly make way for the Third Highness." ”

The horseman answered, and was worried about how to make the horse retreat, when he heard the third prince stop: "No need, I just have a few words I want to tell you, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" ”

These three highnesses are very close to the people, Gu Nian thought, could it be that he also came to see the joke? She answered.

Qiu Tong stood in place and waited, she looked at Xiang Gu Nian and the third prince boredly. The two were standing at the entrance of the alley and talking about something, judging from the back, they were really a pair of beautiful women. Qiu Tong thought to herself, how good it would be if the young lady married the Third Highness! The three highnesses are dignified in appearance, a talent, although they look like a sunny boy, but their martial arts are extremely high, ranking among the top five in the Sunset Grandmaster Rankings.

However, Gu Nian's dialogue here is not as romantic as Qiu Tong's brain.

She saluted and said, "I don't know what His Highness is looking for me?" ”

The three princes, Yu Jingyan, are also a straightforward person, "I heard that you asked your father for marriage?" ”

Gu Nian glanced at Yu Jingyan, clasped his hands to his chest, and kicked the stones on the ground indifferently, "Your Highness, you have also heard about it, and the news is spreading fast enough." ”

Yu Jingyan looked at Gu Nian with a little sympathy in her eyes, "You can choose to say that you have broken your sleeves, how can you marry him?" ”

He looked at Gu Nian as if he was looking at a fool, although this Gu girl was the same age as himself, and she also went to the royal library when she was a child, but she was not close, but she also greeted each other, why did she become stupid now that she grew up?

Gu Nian didn't mind his naked look at him like a fool, she thought to herself, I don't need you to sympathize with me, I sympathize with myself.

The sympathy between the two of them does not come from one explanatory root.

Yu Jingyan sympathized with Gu Nian and fell in love with a man with a habit of breaking sleeves, and Gu Nian purely sympathized with his failure to marry the emperor who was like the lover of his dreams.

Somehow, since I saw the inn that night, Yu Jingyan has been thinking about this girl who is different from ordinary people, especially the moment when she burst into tears, it was completely soft to Yu Jingyan's heart.
