Gu Huanyi couldn't watch his brother stay trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself, so he had to force him to come out as soon as possible, and said: "Brother, the prince of the Ming Dynasty has worked hard and risked his life for our Gu family, and I owe him a lot. Our family can't help him much, but I guess at least we can't drag him down, you say? ”

Gu Jiayi gradually calmed down and said, "The great grace of the world, I will never forget it." ”

Gu Huanyi said ruthlessly: "Regarding Princess Shang's matter, have you ever thought about what kind of impact it will have on the prince?" ”

Gu Jiayi only knew about this and hadn't thought about it deeply, but no matter how he said it, this was just his marriage, how could it be related to Li Congxin?

Gu Huanyi said: "The little prince born to Concubine Zhen is the only heir of the emperor and the prince of heaven. He is too young, and if he wants to sit on the throne in the future, he will need some reliable auxiliary ministers. Where did these ministers come from? Naturally, it is necessary to choose from those who are close to you and who are close to you. If you become a colt, it is for the Gu family and the prince to have such an opportunity. If you don't want it, others will rush to ask for it. At that time, the prince was not the closest person to the little prince, and he became the person who posed the greatest threat to the little prince. On the occasion of a hundred years, how could the emperor leave such a big hidden danger to his young son? ”

In the struggle for imperial power, there has always been either friend or foe, and there is no middle ground.

Gu Jiayi's face gradually turned pale, as a military general, he really rarely considered the calculations in the court.

Gu Huanyi knew that he was very cruel, and for the sake of Li Congxin, he forced Gu Jiayi to accept this marriage.

But she couldn't accept Li Congxin's constant sacrifice and adventure for the Gu family.

Just now, Li Congxin did not force Gu Jiayi to accept this family affair, let alone say a word to her that refusing to marry would be harmful to him.

He can not say it, but Gu Huanyi can't pretend not to know......

Gu Jiayi said in a dumb voice: "It's because I didn't think about it, and I didn't think so far-reaching." ”

Gu Huanyi felt guilty, and held back tears and said, "Brother, I'm sorry ......"

People living in the world have never been individual individuals, and people like them who have been involved in the torrent of imperial power have long been entangled in thousands of entanglements, and they cannot stop the footsteps of being deeply trapped.

In a blink of an eye, on the eighth day of the lunar month, the palace gave Laba porridge and sent one to the Gu family.

It was the Sixi father-in-law next to the queen who came to deliver the porridge, and he smiled and said to Gu Huanyi: "The mother is chattering, saying that the young lady has not entered the palace to see her for a long time, and she is very concerned. When you are free, go into the palace and sit down. ”

Gu Huanyi thought to herself, the queen euphemistically said that she wanted to see her, probably for her brother's marriage.

So, Gu Huanyi said: "No need to change the day, I will follow my father-in-law into the palace to thank Niangniang for the gift of porridge." ”

Today's palace is very lively, and many people enter the palace to thank you.

People in the queen's palace came one after another, but when she heard that Gu Huanyi was coming, she immediately asked Sixi to bring people in first.

After Gu Huanyi thanked her and kowtowed, the queen gave her a seat to sit beside her and talk, and asked if anyone helped the Gu family to prepare for the New Year.

Gu Huanyi said: "My grandmother and several aunts of the Song family care about me very much, and they often come to visit, and the family is ready for the New Year." ”

The queen said: "No matter how close the relatives are, they are still separated by one layer, there should be a principal in the family of your brothers and sisters, and when you get married next year, your brother will be left alone in the family, and it is time to tell him about family affairs." ”

Gu Huanyi said: "What Niangniang said is, it's just that I don't have a clue about this matter......"

The queen called Gu Huanyi to her side and whispered about Princess Miaohua.

“…… This palace has been thinking about this for a while, and he has also asked his opinion from the heart, and he feels that it is a little inappropriate, but this palace thinks about it, and still thinks that it can be considered, you see? ”

Gu Huanyi said: "Our Gu family is in the middle of the road, and my brother was rescued and returned to China, how can we be qualified to be a princess, the queen mother is too loving, we are afraid!" ”

But the queen said: "You don't have to be arrogant, with the qualifications of the Gu family army in the army, when your brother is back in battle, why is it difficult to make meritorious achievements?" And when you marry Congxin, just saying that he is the brother-in-law of the prince of the Ming Dynasty will be looked down upon. Concubine Zhen begged to come to the palace, isn't it also for this relationship? ”

"Yes, the mother can see it through."

The queen smiled and said, "How can you not even see this, this child?" You are just coaxing me now, and you must be dissatisfied with the marriage. Now it's only Hongu and you, what else do you have to hide? ”

Gu Huanyi said: "Don't dare to deceive my mother, my brother's marriage is a little tricky." One is that he had been married earlier, and if he became a colt and was turned out of old things, he was afraid that the princess's face would not look good. The second is that he is deeply persecuted in Beiyi, and his body is not well yet, so he is afraid that the princess will have a bad heart. The third is that if husband and wife want to be harmonious, they still need to understand, the princess is a glance at my brother, and I need to look at it again, so as not to be impulsive, see it wrong and regret it. ”

The queen listened and inquired one by one.

Hearing that the Shen family immediately quit the marriage and remarried after the Gu family's accident, the queen mother was a little angry and said: "Such people, the family style is not right, the woman is not chaste, fortunately did not marry into the door!" ”

Gu Huanyi didn't really want to talk about the Shen family, focusing on his brother's body, but he didn't directly say that the cold ice was scattered, only that there was still residual poison that had not yet been cleared, and it would take time to recuperate.

The queen said: "As long as there is no root cause of the disease, these are not things." It's the New Year, so I'll let you take your brother into the palace and walk around so that he and Miaohua can get to know each other. If the two are in love, it's not too late to decide. If there is really no fate, there should be no such thing, and it is easy to explain to everyone. ”

Seeing that the queen was so open-minded, Gu Huanyi thanked her again.

Li Congxin knew that Gu Huanyi had entered the palace today, so he specially waited outside the palace to pick her up.

Seeing her face come out with joy, Li Congxin asked, "What is so happy?" ”

Gu Huanyi said: "I told my brother about Miaohua's family affairs before, and he said that he would consider it, and today the queen said that she could let the two know each other more." I think it's an opportunity, maybe something good will happen. ”

Li Congxin glanced at Gu Huanyi seriously a few times and asked, "Have you persuaded your brother?" ”

Gu Huanyi nodded and said, "I am a woman, I can rely on you to live, but my brother is a man, and I must revive the lintel." The matter of Princess Shang is an opportunity given by the emperor to the Gu family, and we can't give it up. ”

Although she only said that Princess Shang was good for the Gu family, how could Li Congxin not understand her?

If it was just for the Gu family, she would not necessarily force her brother, relying only on Gu Jiajun's Yu Wei and Li Congxin's support, Gu Jiayi's future would not have to worry.

She wants Gu Jiayi to marry the princess, and it should be more for his sake.

"Huanyi, whether you are for the Gu family or for me, you don't have to force your brother to be a colt, there are other ways to solve these things."

Gu Huanyi raised his head and said, "But this is the easiest and safest way, isn't it?" This is not to say that this is not to force my brother, he knows the responsibility on his shoulders, and if he thinks it through, he will choose to do so. ”

And Gu Huanyi has always been worried about the matter between his brother and Wanyan Zhen, which is destined to be fruitless, so it is better to break it off as soon as possible and marry each other.

If Gu Jiayi was really not forced, Li Congxin also felt that the benefits of this marriage would outweigh the disadvantages for the Gu family brothers and sisters, and he would be happy to see it happen.
