The so-called Ping Concubine is the Ming Media Marrying, sitting above the side concubine, and sitting on an equal footing with the main concubine.

Although there was a precedent for this in the past, it was still very quiet in the hall as soon as this statement came out. But if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the insects chirping.

Ji Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to look back at Bai Yanran. However, before he could move, Ji Chengyu's hand was already on his shoulder, fixing him in place.

Tong also said to Gu Yueyao: "You don't have to take care of Ling Yun, since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents, and he can't make the decision on this matter." ”

When Gu Yueyao heard this, she didn't show joy, but instead seemed to think of something and turned her head to look at Gu Hou's banquet, and really saw her father with a calm face. The stepmother Guo Shi beside him lowered her eyes, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer.

Gu Yueyao suddenly felt very ridiculous, no wonder her father had a rare kind face to her recently, and took the initiative to mention that her mother's death day was approaching, and asked her to go to Zigong Palace where her mother was alive to live for a few days, and it turned out that she was waiting for today's play.

The so-called Ping Concubine, even if she is the same concubine, is still a concubine. Her mother is a royal princess, she is a dignified county lord, how can she be a concubine!

Tong's words are already clear, this is Ji Lingyun's mind and insistence on letting Gu Yueyao marry into King An's mansion.

Qi Simin came back to his senses and turned his head to look, and saw that Bai Yanran's expression was as usual, but her face was really too pale, and her gaze looking at Ji Lingyun's back was unfathomable.

And Ji Lingyun seemed to feel something, his back stiffened, and the palm of the imperial brother on his shoulder became stronger and stronger, as if he wanted to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.

In the end, Ji Lingyun still broke free of that hand, he bowed and saluted, and said, "Queen Mother, son-in-law......"

Before his words were finished, he listened to Gu Yueyao on the side and said: "The queen mother, the courtiers don't want to." ”

Ji Lingyun's heart was relieved, and the rest of the words were swallowed back.

Emperor Yuan He and the Tong clan were both stunned, as if they had not thought that Gu Yueyao would refuse this matter at all. After Tong came back to his senses, he smiled reluctantly and said, "Yueyao, you don't have to worry about Yan'er. It is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Ling Yun is a prince in the royal family, so he can't have only one princess in the palace to serve.

If you are willing, the palace will personally add makeup to you, and ensure that you will marry in a beautiful manner, which will not be inferior to the concubine. In the future, you and the princess will be on an equal footing, and no one will judge you. ”

Gu Yueyao listened quietly, and her figure, which had been getting thinner and thinner recently, looked more and more depressed when standing on the high platform. But her back was straight, her chin was slightly raised, and her gaze was calm.

"The courtiers thank the emperor and the queen for their kindness, but the courtiers are the lord of the county, how can they be concubines with others? Even if the courtiers don't marry in their lives, they must not let their mother under Jiuquan be disgraced. ”

Emperor Yuan He was a little displeased when he was swept away in front of him like this, but in the end, he was a nephew who he had cherished since childhood, and it was not good to attack on the spot.

Tong was even more embarrassed, and said, "You kid ......"

Concubine Lan on the side suddenly interjected: "This is the queen's mother's fault, the emperor pities the county lord for losing his mother at a young age, and he has always loved the county lord." The queen mother came to abuse the county lord like this, and asked the emperor if he was willing. ”

Lan Guifei's words saved a little face for Emperor Yuanhe, and Emperor Yuanhe said along the steps: "Since this is the case, queen, then this matter will be done." ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Qi Simin finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly patted the back of Bai Yanran's hand.

Also relieved was Ji Yuren behind the pillars.

As soon as the queen opened her mouth to mention this, the hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist, and only then did she slowly let go. A pair of black pupils are like a bottomless pool, always looking at the shadow on the high platform.

The emperor spoke, and Tong had to force a smile and nodded, and did not say a word. Emperor Yuanhe's move seemed to be the idea of the Tong family alone, and forced Ji Lingyun to sit and enjoy the blessings of the Qi people.

But the hearts of the ministers below are clear, since the queen dares to mention the marriage in public, Gu Hou must have agreed. Gu Hou is the emperor's confidant, and it is not difficult to guess that this is actually what the emperor meant.

But since the emperor deliberately covered it up, naturally no one would touch this moldy head, and they pretended to be deaf and dumb.

However, some people did the opposite, and Ji Sihong, who had been watching the play silently, suddenly got up and came forward to toast with a wine glass.

"Erchen wishes his father, the emperor, a healthy body, and a long life. May I have a smooth wind and rain, and the country and the people are safe. ”

Emperor Yuanhe's face softened, his gaze swept over Ji Lingyun, and said to Ji Sihong: "Hong'er has a heart." ”

Concubine Lan also got up from the banquet, stood with Ji Sihong, bowed to Yuanhe Emperor Yingying, and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that although Hong'er is not as good as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King An, and is supported by hundreds of officials, he also cares about the people and wants to share his worries for the emperor.

It's just that Hong'er has been reckless since he was a child, and he is easy to be deceived by others and commit disasters. ”

Emperor Yuan He looked at Concubine Lan, turned his head and said to Ji Sihong: "What your mother said is true?" ”520

Ji Sihong hurriedly responded: "Father Mingjian, the son knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to do it again." ”

Seeing that Emperor Yuan He nodded with satisfaction, Concubine Lan changed her words and said, "Although it is good that Hong'er has this heart, the concubine still can't rest assured. So I want to ask the emperor for a favor, and ask Hong'er to marry a virtuous and virtuous concubine, so that he can manage him in the future, and don't do stupid things again. ”

Ji Lingyun suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart when he heard this, and Ji Chengyu did the same, the two glanced at each other, and realized that Concubine Lan must have a plan today.

Emperor Yuanhe had long intended to marry Ji Sihong, but it was Concubine Lan who repeatedly excused herself to delay it until now, and now when she heard Concubine Lan take the initiative to mention it, she couldn't help but be curious: "Oh, which family's daughter does Concubine Guifei have a crush on?" ”

Concubine Lan turned to look at Gu Yueyao on the side, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, Hong'er has long been fond of the lord of Mingzhu County, but it's hard to speak considering the gossip in Beijing."

Now that she heard with her own ears that the lord of Mingzhu had no intention of His Royal Highness King An, the concubine dared to ask the emperor for a marriage decree to fulfill Hong'er's infatuation. ”

Emperor Yuan He frowned slightly and remained silent. Ji Sihong knelt down and kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "The son knows that he is not more valuable than His Royal Highness King An, but he is better than the county lord, and he will never let the county lord suffer the slightest grievance, and ask his father to fulfill it." ”

Tong's expression changed a few times, and then he looked at Gu Yueyao, and for a while, Gu Yueyao became the target of everyone again.

Ji Yuren, who was hidden behind the pillars, was suffocated in breath, and he almost couldn't hold back his feet, but he gritted his teeth and held back, and there was a little more unmatched hideous color on his gentle and handsome face.

Gu Yueyao also knelt down in front of everyone, she raised her head to the gaze of Shangyuan and the emperor, and said without humility or arrogance: "How can the courtiers be able to win the appreciation of the noble concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Jian." But the courtiers don't know what to do, and they have to live up to the hearts of the mother and His Royal Highness. ”

There was an uproar, and the lord of Mingzhu refused to marry the two princes one after another, which can be regarded as the first person in ancient times.

Although Emperor Yuanhe didn't want to agree to this marriage, Gu Yueyao's merciless refusal inevitably made her face a little unbearable. He said with a calm face: "Yueyao, you are now of marriageable age, since you can't look down on my two emperors, but you already belong in your heart?" ”

Gu Yueyao shook her head without hesitation and replied: "The courtiers are just afraid that they will be entrusted to a non-human person like their mother back then, so they would rather be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a long time than go with the flow." ”

Gu Hou fell in love with his childhood sweetheart's cousin before marrying Princess Ning'an, but the princess decided to devote herself to Gu Hou, and the emperor loved this daughter the most, so he disregarded the wishes of his courtiers and decreed marriage.

Thinking of the entire Gu family, Gu Hou did not dare to resist the order, but he avoided Princess Ning'an like a snake and scorpion, and let the bride stay alone in the empty room on the wedding day. If it weren't for a drunken accident, there would be no Pearl County Lord.

Princess Ning'an thought that Gu Hou would change her mind when she was pregnant, but unexpectedly found that Gu Hou had raised her cousin in the house outside, and did not return to stay with her day and night, leaving herself alone to guard the empty waiting house.

Princess Ning'an was already weak and unwell, and became more and more depressed after learning the truth. When she was about to give birth, she learned that the outer room was also pregnant, and she was even more angry and gave birth prematurely, leaving the lord of Mingzhu to die.

However, the mourning period has only passed, and Gu Hou is marrying the outer room with a big belly, giving birth to a son half a year later, and a daughter three years later. And Gu Yueyao has been kept in the palace all the year round, and her father-daughter relationship with Gu Hou is even weaker.

Although these old things are known to everyone in Beijing, but at this moment, Gu Yueyao put them on the table, Gu Hou's face still changed, and it was not easy to suppress the anger, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, ugly and tight.

Emperor Yuanhe was also very displeased, and Princess Pingle hurriedly persuaded when she saw this: "Brother Huang is angry, Yueyao, this child has always been stubborn, you also know it, don't worry about her as a junior." Besides, my daughter's family always has to plan a lot for this marriage event, and I will talk to her in detail when I go back. ”

Princess Pingle is the sister of Emperor Yuanhe, and she has loved Emperor Yuanhe since she was a child, so since she opened her mouth, Emperor Yuanhe would not refute her face even if she was unwilling, and her slight head was revealed.

Ji Chengyu and Ji Lingyun also retreated silently.

Tong raised his glass, everyone drank a cup of belly, and a new dancing girl came up to perform. The sound of silk and bamboo music sounded, and the atmosphere finally became lively again.

After making such a fuss, no one came to pull Ji Lingyun to toast anymore. Seeing this, Qi Simin said a word to Bai Yanran and left in a hurry, not seeing the frequent gazes of Princess Lingxi on the other side.

Aunt Sang Cong on the side sighed when she saw Princess Lingxi looking left and right, and she didn't have the demeanor of a princess for half a minute. The emperor didn't intend to notice this today, so he said: "Princess, the wine is also toasted, there are many foreign ministers here, and they don't follow the rules, let's go back." ”

Princess Lingxi was dissatisfied: "Why did you come and leave, I still want to talk to my brother and sister-in-law." ”

Aunt Sang Cong said: "This is not a good place to talk, if the princess wants to be close to His Royal Highness King An and the princess, she can go directly to King An's mansion to visit another day." And Princess Shaohan has already left the table, so we should also go. ”

Princess Lingxi turned her head to look, and really saw that the room was empty, and couldn't help muttering: "The second emperor sister is really boring, why do you have to leave so early, anyway, there is nothing to do when you go back." ”

After that, she had to get up and say, "Okay, okay, I know, let's go." ”

Princess Lingxi stepped forward to greet Emperor Yuanhe and the Tong family, and then took Sang Cong's aunt away.

Out of the Taihe Palace, she thought of the woman who was sitting with the imperial sister-in-law just now, and her eyes rolled. Quietly reached out and took off an earring and held it in his hand, turned his head to Aunt Sang Cong and said in a panic: "Auntie, one of my earrings seems to have fallen in the banquet, you can quickly find it for me." ”

If the princess's personal belongings are picked up by other men, I don't know what kind of trouble will be caused by it. Aunt Sang Cong didn't feel at ease and handed it over to the palace people to find it, so she hurriedly returned to Taihe Palace after instructing Princess Lingxi for two sentences.

Seeing that the plan succeeded, Princess Lingxi threw the earrings in the flowers on the side at will, and went to the Lingxiao Hall with familiarity.
