Chapter 56: The Queen's Choice
Xuanyuan Rui asked, "Why?" Why forget? These things are our common experience, carrying our feelings for each other, we all remember it so deeply, and we will always remember it in our hearts, how can we forget it? ”
Lu Xin listened to his words and felt his irrepressible affection, she asked him to stop such feelings, they were just a passerby in each other's lives.
She cried and said loudly, "Then let it be buried in my heart forever and never be mentioned again."
After Lu Xin finished speaking, she immediately ran towards the woods, wanting to leave Xuanyuan Rui.
Xuanyuan Rui chased after him, grabbed Lu Xin, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and yelled loudly, "Why? Why? Is it because of him? ”
Lu Xin suddenly looked at Xuanyuan Rui in astonishment from tears, stunned for a moment, and looked at Xuanyuan Rui's extremely firm expression with hazy tears, as if waiting for her to tell the real reason. Lu Xin really didn't want to hurt Xuanyuanrui, but Xuanyuanrui's stubbornness made her have to do it.
Lu Xin slowly said to Xuanyuan Rui: "Yes, I already have him in my heart, and I will marry him in the near future, be his wife, and stay with him for the rest of my life."
Xuanyuan Rui was shocked, and immediately let go of Lu Xin's shoulders and took a step back, his expression painful, as if he couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it, because he had seen Lu Xin say it to himself.
Still unrelenting, he asked, "Are you really sure?" Don't you really regret it? ”
Lu Xin looked at Xuanyuan Rui, although she was very reluctant to hurt anyone who liked her and cared about her, but for Rui and for herself, she had to be ruthless.
"I'm sure, I won't regret it," she said firmly.
Lu Xin made up her mind at this moment, and she also asked herself in her heart: "Qing, you will definitely not let me regret this decision, right?"
Xuanyuan Rui finally compromised, and he said, "Okay, I understand."
After Xuanyuan Rui sent Lu Xin back to Qianzhuyuan, when parting, he said to Lu Xin: "Xin'er, if you regret it one day, I hope you can think of finding me first, I will help you, and you should repay your life-saving kindness!"
After Xuanyuan Rui finished speaking, he took out a small object from his arms and put it in Lu Xin's hand and said, "Open this and it will send a signal, and then my people will come to answer you."
Lu Xin was very grateful that he was so good at thinking for himself, she wanted to say sorry to Xuanyuan Rui, but she couldn't say it, so she could only watch him leave silently.
In the palace, after Li Qingyuan and General Guo Lao sat down in the study, they immediately dismissed everyone.
General Guo got up and saluted Li Qingyuan, and said: "The old minister Xie Huang raised his love, I don't know what the emperor called the old minister?" The old minister will definitely do his best to solve the emperor's worries. ”
Li Qingyuan also immediately got up, walked over to help the old general, and said: "The general is serious, the general is not only my teacher, but also my father-in-law, my invitation to the general here is just gossip, the general does not need to be polite."
General Guo is an upright man who never likes to beat around the bush. He knew that the emperor had summoned him to rush back to the capital, and after returning to Beijing, he would set up a banquet to entertain him, which must have something important to give him, so he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
He said bluntly: "Please make it clear to the emperor?"
Li Qingyuan looked at General Guo and thought: "Jiang is still old and spicy, and his behavior will inevitably make him feel confused, so it will be easy to explain it."
Li Qingyuan smiled and said, "I summoned the general back from the border pass this time, and I really have something important to discuss with the general."
General Guo saw that Li Qingyuan finally got to the point, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Li Qingyuan said slowly: "About the queen candidate."
When General Guo heard this, his heart suddenly burst into joy, and he thought in his heart: "The emperor is finally willing to be the queen, but the emperor urgently calls him back to Beijing, which means that the emperor has finally recognized Ning'er?" Then you don't have to bother sending Thirteen Er (Xiaoxiao) into the palace anymore. ”
The general's face was slightly happy, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Candidate for the queen?"
Immediately, General Guo said with a straight face: "It has been several years since the emperor ascended the throne, and the queen's position has been empty, and now the emperor can have this idea, which is really the blessing of all the people, presumably the emperor has already been elected?"
Li Qingyuan said with a smile again: "The general is really a good master for me, and I can let the general see whatever I have on my mind since I was a child." I do have a candidate in mind. ”
General Guo then asked: "I don't know which lady can have such virtue and make the emperor take a fancy to her?"
At this time, General Guo was already sure of his thoughts, and the queen candidate must be his own Ning'er.
Li Qingyuan also continued to sell Guan Zi and said: "She has never entered the palace, and she is still in the general's mansion."
Li Qingyuan's words were like a slap in the face to General Guo, and he couldn't help but wonder again. He thought: "Isn't the emperor fancy Ning'er?" And the person is still in the general's mansion, could it be that the emperor takes a fancy to Thirteen? ”
General Guo immediately asked, "Oh? In the old minister's mansion? Who's that? ”
Only then did Li Qingyuan say: "It's the daughter of Lu Xiang, Miss Lu Xin, and the noble person I once bestowed."
When General Guo heard this, he was taken aback, and he said, "The daughter of Lu Xiang? In the General's Palace? Your Majesty, this ........., this is absolutely unacceptable! Please think twice. ”
Li Qingyuan already knew that General Guo would have such an expression when he heard it, and he also knew that the ministers in the court would definitely oppose it like the general.
Li Qingyuan said to General Guo: "General, don't be impatient, this matter is also a matter that I want to discuss with you, and it must be within the general's ability, so I will be in a hurry to recall the general back to the court."
General Guo immediately knelt down and said: "The old minister is afraid, how can the old minister be virtuous?" Besides, the choice of the queen is related to the society of the country, the well-being of all the people, and the reproduction of the heirs of the clan. Miss Lu is the daughter of a traitor, and she is still guilty, the emperor should have killed them all, so how could she be the queen? Your Majesty, forgive the old minister's blunt .......... ”
Li Qingyuan listened to General Guo's nagging, and he didn't hear a word. So, he interrupted and said, "The general is too heavy. Lu Xiang's henchmen have been defeated, Miss Lu is just a weak woman, she can't pose a threat to me, and she can't pose a threat to Jiangshan Sheji, so why do you need to kill them all? ”
Seeing that Li Qingyuan didn't listen to his advice, General Guo said anxiously: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether this Miss Lu family is virtuous, Yi, Hui, and Min. This identity alone is no longer able to convince the public, let me ask the government and the opposition, the court, and the people can accept her? When it starts, once it is announced to the world, it will definitely cause an uproar and make the emperor lose the heart of the people! Emperor? ”
General Guo still said bitterly, and analyzed to Li Qingyuan with a rhetoric of 10,000 steps back, hoping to save the position of queen for the Guo family.
