Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
Speaking of background, although Gu Manni is the daughter of Gu Ting's current wife, the Lu family can only be regarded as a house-filler after all, so Gu Manni's identity is far from the identity of the real concubine. No matter how she struggles, her identity as a "concubine" has always been unjustifiable, to put it bluntly, it was Lin Ruo who was not rare and gave it to her, and she was branded as a concubine after all.
There are generally two kinds of girls: those who grow up with low eyebrows and are pleasing to the eyes, obediently obey the arrangement of the housemother, and although they will not be too rich in the future, they can also marry a solid family; The other is those whose hearts are higher than the sky and want to climb high branches, and if they become rich, they will be rejected by their mother, and their reputation will be discredited, so don't think about a good way out. Even if this housemother is now her biological mother, the reputation of the Gu family has also affected her marriage.
And Gu Manni is obviously not the former, before the Lu family was raised to be a lady, Gu Ting was spoiled; Then the Lu family became the upright Mrs. Gu, and Gu Manni was even more self-assured, but she was not as good as her in terms of supply, which further fueled Gu Manni's arrogant temperament. Thinking of Lin Ruo, a wild seed that his father doesn't care about his mother, the emperor's edict and marriage, the favor of the queen mother, the support of the Lin family, the richest man in Bian'an, and the favor of Murong Chong, the prince of Rong, Su Muyu, the prince of Jingping, how can she Gu Manni bear it!
And at this time, everyone's eyes were as brilliant as fireworks in an instant, amazing, jealous, and covetous...... All kinds of eyes made her feel a great sense of satisfaction. Stretched out her hand, stroked the broken hair around her ear, and smiled softly at Song Huan Chu, this day has finally come, she enjoys the feeling of being the focus of everyone's attention, this is what she should have!
Song Huan Chu's face also had a warm smile, thoughtfully led her to the position to sit down, and whispered a call before walking to her position. Emperor Mingzong still gave him face, and Gu Manni's position was appropriate, which also meant that Emperor Mingzong responded to his request to marry. It's just that before sitting down, his eyes glanced at Murong Chong intentionally or unintentionally, and he bowed his head slightly, but the smile on his face never diminished by half a point.
However, Tang Xiao, who was following him, did not fall on Gu Manni at all, as if in the eyes of this unmeritorious No. 1 talent in Xishu, Gu Manni was as insignificant as grass mustard and dust.
This unanimous recognition made the corners of Murong Chong's mouth imperceptibly evoke a playful arc.
"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! ”
The shrill voice of the eunuch came, and everyone hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground and bowed to greet each other. Emperor Mingzong, who was dressed in a Ming Huang Kui dragon pattern formal dress, walked in front, and the empress dowager beside him held Lin Ruo's hand and kept up with the emperor's footsteps.
The three people with the highest status in the Donglu Kingdom walked up the steps in front of the eunuchs and palace maids, and sat down, Emperor Mingzong shook his sleeves at the people kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up." ”
Only then did everyone get up and sit down again, and they heard a puzzle from the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother?"
Emperor Mingzong leaned over to the side of the Empress Dowager with concern and asked softly.
The Empress Dowager took Lin Ruo's hand and smiled: "The mourning family is old, and they have forgotten that my Ah Ruo has already married, no wonder I didn't give her a place around me." ”
Everyone's eyes are focused on Lin Ruo, the senhui county lord who has been favored by the emperor, and now Princess Rong, is still a shallow smile like water, her eyes are very clear, she looks generous and decent, and her demeanor is flowing smoothly, she is a woman who looks quite comfortable, and she will wink playfully inadvertently, showing two little tiger teeth to the queen mother, without losing her liveliness at this age, and calmness beyond her age.
"Fortunately, she is still the daughter-in-law of the royal family, if the queen mother wants Ah Ruo to accompany her, let someone add a place beside you."
"How can that be?" The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, "The relationship between the young couple who have just gotten married is like honey blending oil." I have already asked Ah Ruo to help me prepare food, and at this time, if I detain her to give me vegetables, Chong'er should complain in her heart. ”
"Imperial Grandmother, you are making fun of me again!"
Lin Ruo smiled and sprinkled coquettishly, and Murong Chong, who was named by name, also immediately got up and bowed: "How dare my grandson complain?" The imperial grandmother loves Ah Ruo, and it is too late for her grandson to be happy. ”
"Imperial grandmother, can I help you with the vegetables?"
The voice like a silver bell sounded, and the eighth princess Xijiao jumped to the side of the queen mother, half-squatting, pulling the sleeve of the queen mother and coquettishly, but she secretly glanced at the queen, and saw that the queen showed a satisfied smile to herself, the smile on Xijiao's face deepened, dangling the queen mother's hand, and softly coquettish: "Okay, imperial grandmother?" ”
The smile on the queen mother's face became stronger, and she patted Xijiao's hand: "Okay, you help me with the vegetables." When the time comes, don't spread it all on your own plate! This is what Arro prepared for me! ”
"Look at what you said, like I'm a glutton."
"You're not a glutton, you're a glutton! Hahaha......"
The Empress Dowager smiled heartily, and Emperor Mingzong also smiled and echoed: "Ah Ruo's craftsmanship is much higher than that of the imperial kitchen, and it is not an exaggeration to be greedy." ”
"Father!"
Emperor Mingzong laughed: "Okay, okay, come on, move Xijiao's position to the queen mother." Ah Ruo, you can also go back to the table and sit down. ”
"Yes."
Lin Ruo bowed and received the order, with full elegance and nobility in her meticulous but smooth movements, with just the right smile on her face, it made people not think that she gave up her identity as the daughter of the official department and became the daughter of the merchant stream. That words and deeds are not something that the last businessmen can train, and it is enough to see that the queen mother loves her no less than any princess.
Although Lin Ruo's appearance is not as beautiful as Gu Manni's, her temperament is something that Gu Manni can't imitate and compare, just like a girl from a big family, she looks like a small jasper and has a polite manners, but she is not as natural as the young lady who is really raised in the boudoir.
Such a comparison is immediate.
Lin Ruo walked towards Murong Chong without squinting, put his hand on Murong Chong's palm with a smile, and sat down together, without even stopping on the Gu family and Song Huanchu. But Murong Chong noticed that Tang Xiao's dark eyes looked at Lin Ruo and thinned, with a hint of curiosity.
"Xiao Wang heard when he was in Xishu that Donglu is a state of etiquette, and the people of Donglu are all benevolent, righteous, courteous, and wise, loyal and filial. When I saw it today, sure enough, the queen mother Ci Hao, the princess and the princess were filial, and they were harmonious, which made Xiao Wang feel quite honored to be able to see such a picture. Song Huan Chu smiled faintly, making people feel like a spring breeze.
"King Zhan is overrated," Emperor Mingzong's expression was as usual, making it easy for people to see his mood of joy and anger, "King Zhan and your imperial brother are also brothers, friends and brothers, which is enviable." ”
Song Huan Chu's afterglow swept towards Lin Ruo, she was sitting beside Murong Chong without caring about herself, there was always a faint smile on her face, and the essence of the imperceptible evil spirit in her eyes flashed, and continued, "It's just that Xiao Wang has something that I don't understand, and I ask His Majesty the Emperor to solve Xiao Wang's doubts." ”
Emperor Mingzong raised his eyebrows and faintly uttered a puzzled syllable.
