Chapter 12: The Rain is Coming 5

Gu Ting, who returned to the mansion, immediately had a gloomy face, and slammed the cup in his hand on the table with a calm face. When Lu Shi heard the news, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and asked flatteringly, "Master, what's wrong?" Don't be angry with your body! ”

When asked by the Lu family, Gu Ting was even more angry, and said angrily: "Yesterday, that girl entered the palace, and the Queen Mother personally performed a salute for her; Earlier today, the emperor issued a holy decree and assigned her to King Rong! ”

"King Rong?!"

A merchant girl can actually marry King Rong, who has made great achievements?!

Lu's eyes were full of shock, since Gu Manxi's death, this girl was summoned into the palace by the emperor, I don't know what she said, anyway, it must be unfavorable to the Gu family, and then she was picked up by the Lin family.

Although she became Mrs. Shangshu as she wished, and her daughter Gu Manni also became the only concubine in Shangshu Mansion, the Gu family lost her saintly favor because of that girl. Although Gu Ting retains the position of the secretary of the ministry, the power in his hand has long been firmly held by the later servant of the household department, and the so-called position of the secretary is an ornament.

If it weren't for Gu Ting's conscientious work after Gu Manxue went to the Lin family, and he never had the handle to tell the truth, how could he still hold the official title of the official secretary of the ministry?

The more beautiful Lin Ruo is, the more difficult it is for Gu Mansion!

But who is to blame?

The three daughters of the Gu Mansion, the eldest daughter and the eldest daughter are all the daughters born to Lin Yuan'er, and the one sandwiched in the middle, after she was raised as a step-room, can be regarded as a concubine. But the treatment of these three girls in the Gu Mansion is completely different.

Gu Manxi has the name of the county lord who is divided by the emperor, and the whole family does not dare to slack off; Although Gu Manni is a concubine, she is favored by Gu Ting; Only this little girl who has no support is a piece that is allowed to be flattened and rounded. But who would have thought that such a half-grown yellow-haired girl, who is silent on weekdays, will sue the emperor as soon as she complains!

Hearing the news that Lin wanted to become the concubine of King Rong, Lu's heart felt as uncomfortable as if he was choked by a fishbone. Her daughter has long been married, but no rich and noble family has come to say goodbye, so she can't wait to avoid it; Those who want to ask for wealth and nobility will not want to borrow the power of the family, because there is no power to borrow at all; Again, the Lu family felt that he was not worthy of Gu Manni's identity. As a result, the high is not the low, and it is delayed.

But why, the evil seed born by the water-based poplar woman has such good luck, and she is the lord of the Jin Dynasty and the king of marriage?

The more Emperor Mingzong treated Lin Yuan'er's daughter, the more uncomfortable the Gu family became.

Isn't this a clear slap in the face of the Gu family!

But he is the emperor! What can it be?

At this moment, Gu Ting and the Lu family didn't notice that they heard all Gu Manni outside the hall, they bit their red lips and twisted a side of embroidered handkerchief in their hands, as if they wanted to treat this square embroidered handkerchief as Gu Manxue and tear her to pieces!

However, it is not only the Gu family who is uncomfortable, but also several main owners who are also uncomfortable - King Rong who was assigned to marry and King Ye, who failed to reap the benefits.

Today's court, as soon as the prince mentioned that the lord of Minhui had not yet made a family affair, the emperor sighed, and mentioned the county lord Shude who died early and the county lord of Minrou who died unexpectedly.

Seeing that the county lord of Minhui was so merciful, the prince was naturally overjoyed, but King Ye was actually a person who was willing to suffer a secret loss? Just when the crown prince was about to add fuel to the fire and King Ye was about to cut off the beard halfway, Emperor Mingzong unexpectedly asked the old eunuch to read out the holy decree and marry the lord of Minhui to Murong Chong, the king of Rong!

It all came so suddenly!

King Rong didn't have time to refuse, King Ye didn't have time to react, and the prince and ministers were all surprised.

When Murong Chong reacted, he was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he was stopped in time by the prince who had a rare brain, praised Emperor Mingzong's decision, and signaled him to quickly knock on Long En.

Although Murong Chong was dissatisfied, he still knelt down to thank Emperor Mingzong for his marriage according to the prince's wishes, but when he walked out of the main hall, he always kept a calm face in the face of the congratulations of his colleagues, and he did not have the slightest joy of being married.

It was the crown prince, who was so happy that his mouth was about to grin to the root of his ears, and he proudly swept over King Ye's even more gloomy face, smiled goodbye to the ministers, and then pulled Murong Chong to the East Palace.

As soon as he entered the East Palace, the prince asked the attendants and maids to retreat, closed the door, and ordered that no one should enter or leave, and then pulled Murong Chong to sit down, held his hand tightly and said:

"Brother Chong, it's fortunate that you didn't refuse your father's marriage in court."

But Murong Chong was obviously suppressing his anger: "Second brother, why are you forcing me to accept the emperor's marriage?" You know, before I found the bent rhyme, I ......"

"Brother Chong!"

There was a little anger in the prince's voice, although he and Murong Chong grew up together since childhood, of course, it was also because Murong Chong now had the fear of heavy soldiers in his hands, so he endured Murong Chong's angry offense, and explained in a calmest tone as much as possible: "I naturally know your affection for Wanyun. But you should also know how important the Lin family is to me! ”

Murong Chong's eyes darkened a little, and the prince didn't understand what his obsession with Wanyun was for.

However, he understood the meaning of the prince's words.

Although he has never made a clear statement, between the prince and King Ye, he will definitely choose the prince without hesitation. The queen's kindness to him is greater than the sky, and the crown prince is not too much of a fault, and he is a brother and sister to him. But even so, let him trade with emotional things, he was still panicked in his heart.

"Brother Chong, you have also seen today the degree of pity that your father has for Lord Minhui. If I can marry Minhui, why should I let you be wronged? I also hope that you can marry the girl you like! Besides, although your father has always been concerned about your marriage, he used to consult you privately in advance, but today, in front of everyone, he directly decreed the marriage, what does this mean, huh? The meaning couldn't be more obvious, my father didn't intend to let you refuse! This holy decree has been issued, Chrysostom Yuyan, do you want to brush your father's face in public? ”

Murong Chong was silent, what the prince said was not unreasonable. But it is precisely because of this that his heart is even more irritable. If Emperor Mingzong's marriage was before he met Wanyun, even if the crown prince did not ask for it, he would not hesitate to agree - just to marry a woman.

However, once a person lives in this heart, everything becomes different. That man obviously deceived him, injured him, and even wanted to kill him! But in the end, the bits and pieces between him and her are still deeply recorded in his eyes and engraved in his heart. No matter how much time passes, it will not be easily dissipated. After so many years, he still can't let go.

Until now, Murong Chong himself didn't know what he was waiting and consuming so for. He rejected Emperor Mingzong's private offer to help him marry several times, maybe just to wait for her to come back and give him an answer, or perhaps, he just didn't want to be like her and hurt another innocent person more.

But today, Emperor Mingzong gave a holy decree in front of all the ministers in the court.

Murong Chong sighed helplessly: "I understand......"

Although Emperor Mingzong regarded him as a son, he was the emperor of Donglu after all.

Father and son, first monarch and minister, then father and son. What's more, it's not father and son!
