Chapter 12: Draft Day
The show girls were all waiting in the Zhaoxiu Hall, where a huge silk screen was placed in the center of the hall.
Let's listen to the report of the chamberlain: "The concubine has arrived." ”
Gu Nian thought to herself, don't come to this old emperor, who will she find to play if she doesn't come? Could it be that this concubine Niangniang, does she have so much power to make decisions?
Then he heard the report from the chamberlain: "The Empress Dowager has arrived." ”
Hey, Gu Nian's heart is cold, this old emperor really won't come. It is said that the biggest stubbornness in this feudal society is the thinking of the older generation, if I cry according to the queen mother, I may not be scolded into something, and maybe I will also implicate the old and young in the Gu Hou Mansion.
Although it was crossed over, there was no kinship, but after all, they were all fresh human lives.
Gu Nian thought about it, and his face became a big "Chuan" word.
Thinking that Cao Cao Cao arrived, when he heard the chamberlain shouting "Your Majesty has arrived" in his voice, everyone knelt down.
"You're on your knees fast." Gu Nian whispered, "Why didn't the queen mother of the concubine who came here just now not see you kneeling, as soon as you heard that the emperor was coming, you knelt." Gu Nian slowly knelt down.
"Get up." The man behind the screen spoke. His voice was deep and magnetic, not at all like the voice of an old man in the twilight.
The sound is quite good, Gu Nian thought to himself, this is a mobile little subwoofer in modern times. But this man with a good voice may not all be good-looking, and he can't hear anything.
Father-in-law Zhu called the show girls behind the screen in turn according to the order that had already been divided, and the selected show girls left the sign on the small table at the door.
This order is arranged according to the family background, and it is not more than three to take care of it.
Gu Nian was suddenly a little nervous, even if he had done enough ideological work in the early stage, he still felt a little drumming in his heart when he went to the battlefield.
"The daughter of Gu Zhan, the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the letter, Gu Nian." Gonggong Zhu shouted.
Gu Nian lowered his head and walked over with small steps.
Only Gu Nian knew that this drama was about to begin.
"Your Majesty!"
Listening to the woman's shout, she immediately knelt down with a puff, the exaggeration of this great ceremony was natural.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers dare not deceive Your Majesty. The courtiers have been in love with the prince Yu Xueyan for a long time, but because of her father's loyalty, she wants to serve His Majesty with one more person, but I look at the women in this show today There are also a lot of them, and I hope that Your Majesty will allow her to marry the person she wants to marry. ”
Gu Nian read out the lines that she had memorized in one breath, coupled with her performance with no traces of performance from her professional background, she almost believed that she was the third lady of the Gu family who was deeply affectionate.
She raised her head slightly, "Your Majesty... I think..."
She looked at the old emperor she had imagined for a long time, her tears were in her eyes, and she couldn't bear it anymore.
A touching and deeply loving woman desperately doesn't want to enter the palace and doesn't hesitate to speak out in front of His Majesty, which is too dramatic, in fact, things have developed very unexpectedly smoothly here.
But
Until the moment Gu Nian looked up and saw His Majesty, he completely collapsed.
This majesty really looks like his favorite kimchi male star!
Oh my god, it's so similar!
Gu Nian was so shocked that he couldn't even memorize the manuscript. She hurriedly lowered her head and fell to the ground, almost failing to manage her expression.
"Tell me what you want to do." His Majesty was not annoyed, but straightened up from the couch he was half-leaning on, and stared at her thoughtfully.
If you regret it now, is it too late? Gu Nian can't wait to give himself 10,000 big mouths.
This is to blame for the memory of the original owner who failed to leave it to me, I knew that His Majesty looked like this, so I came to the palace early, why are you still entanglement with that bastard Yu Zeyan outside.
It's my life's dream to marry that pickle national male star, even if you can't marry a real person, you can marry someone who looks surprisingly similar!
Even if this person is an emperor.
Even if he has three palaces and six courts, he is not young.
This time, Gu Nian was really teary-eyed.
The words he spoke were like water that had been poured out, drenching himself all over his body. Gu Nian was depressed.
It was not only Gu Nian who was lying on the ground who did not move, but also the Queen Mother, Concubine Qi, and Gonggong Zhu who looked stupid.
There are also a lot of discussions behind the screen, this Yu Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and there is no such precedent. How many people squeezed their heads and wanted to drill into this harem, but this was the first time that they asked His Majesty to marry someone else on the day of the draft.
The Queen Mother scolded: "Presumptuous! ”
Gu Nian was frightened, and he also felt that he was too presumptuous, and he knew that he would not be so presumptuous.
"You go on." His Majesty motioned to Gonggong Zhu to help Gu Nian up.
Gu Nian reluctantly stood up, not knowing how to continue.
If she repents halfway, isn't it playing with the emperor, this crime of bullying the king is too great, and she can't let everyone in Gu Hou's mansion follow her unlucky.
But this majesty is too much like his favorite male star, and it is worth it to have this opportunity to be his little wife, and the star still has thousands of fans waiting for the top.
Gu Nian helped Gonggong Zhu and peeked at His Majesty's face. Thinking that the third prince is almost nineteen or twenty years old, how can his father maintain the same as a star, and he doesn't get old at all.
This is the real handsome uncle!
"What's wrong? Scared by me? "The emperor also has a good temper, not only is he not angry, but he calms down and cares about it.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm okay." With a wave of his hand, a little eunuch ran in, "Go ahead." ”
The little eunuch whispered his order and hurried out.
Concubine Qi on the side was shocked, but she didn't expect that the purpose of Gu Hou's coming yesterday was to ask His Majesty for the marriage between Gu Nian and the prince Yu Zeyan, but why didn't she hear about it like this.
Before he came back to his senses, Gu Nian had already been half-supported by Gonggong Zhu out of the hall. "Hey... Ay? Don't think about it anymore? Gu Nian whispered, she still wanted to keep it in her heart.
It's completely different from what I planned! Gu Nian thought to himself.
She had been prepared for a long time before she came, and in the end there were only two ways to go, either to provoke the old emperor on the spot and be given death and then wear it home, or to be reprimanded and then thrown out of the palace.
But I didn't expect that why did His Majesty speak so well and agree to the marriage? He doesn't think about it anymore?
"Oh, I said my little aunt, you're the first!" Gonggong Zhu gave a thumbs up and said tremblingly: "It's scared to death of the old slave." ”
"Why is this emperor so easy to speak?" Gu Nian was surprised.
"Ouch, don't say any more." Gonggong Zhu looked around and made a gesture of silence.
He sent Gu Nian out of the hall and went back.
This Zhaoxiu Hall is very close to the main entrance of the palace, Gu Nian walked out along the memory of coming in the morning, and met Lin Yu'an who had sprinkled before on the way. Lin Yu'an looked at Gu Nian with a strange expression and asked, "So you don't want to come to the draft?" ”
"That's right." Gu Nian replied absentmindedly.
But now that she thinks about it again, she doesn't know if it's too late to say it.
"Then you're too bold, that's Your Majesty." Lin Yu'an snorted, but she didn't seem to feel repulsed by Gu Nian's approach.
Gu Nian really didn't have the leisure to continue chatting with Lin Yu'an, and this time Gu Hou couldn't think of cutting himself with a knife in the house.
Oh yes, it's not just Gu Hou, but also the big cannon fodder Yu Zeyan who bumped into him.
So she quickened her pace and walked out of the palace.
