Chapter 331: Hasty Marriage
"Everyone get up, Chunfeng, send the princess back to the palace, and without my permission, she is not allowed to leave the palace for the time being."
Gu Yan originally thought that Shen Zhongbai's world was full of use, but she didn't expect that he was actually quite good to his sister.
"I'm sorry everyone, Si Yin caused trouble to everyone just now, and I will discipline you strictly in the future, but I came here today, I have something I want to inquire about this Gu Suran son, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" Shen Zhongbai's only clue to that painting was Gu Suran, and when he came out to find Gu Suran, he had no other way.
Gu Yan was shocked, she was afraid that Shen Zhongbai would take her on top because of that painting, and she didn't know if he came to find him this time, because he wanted to win him over, or if he wanted to ask questions about that painting.
"Ahem, my brother is free, if it's inconvenient for us to listen to the conversation, I'll go and prepare a private room for the emperor." Gu Su Liang naturally didn't know the mystery in the painting, but he only felt that at today's Chamber of Commerce, Shen Zhongbai noticed Gu Su Ran, so he came.
Gu Yan and Shen Zhongbai entered the private room, they were really uncomfortable, they were already disgusted with the person in front of them, and now they had to communicate with him as another person, which was really a little weird.
"Your Majesty, if you have any questions, you might as well say it directly."
Gu Yan really felt a little uncomfortable, she felt that when she was in front of Shen Zhongbai, she always felt as if she was about to be seen through, plus the princess Siyin just now, she really felt that the method they discussed before didn't seem to be very effective.
"The son of Gusu is a talent, can he have a marriage match?"
"Ah...... Yes? "Gu Yan was nervous for a long time, why didn't she expect Shen Zhongbai to ask such a question, she looks like she is at most eighteen or nineteen years old, according to the age of the man, there should be no marriage, why did she suddenly bring up this topic?" No, my brother said, the grass people are still young, and this kind of thing will be said in a few years. ”
"I have a chance now, although my sister is a little rude and willful, but she is still very kind in her bones, she is already sixteen years old, and she has not yet chosen a good son-in-law of Chenglong, I don't know what Gongzi Gusu has to say about Si Yin?"
Where did Gu Yan dare to say that she had an opinion on this princess? But listening to the meaning of Shen Zhongbai's words, why does it seem that he is going to recruit himself as a sister-in-law?
"Your Majesty, how dare the grass people have any opinion on the princess, although the princess is a little willful, but she looks really ...... It's lovely. Gu Yan couldn't think of any other adjective to describe Shen Siyin, and she couldn't refute Shen Zhongbai's face, so she could only say this.
"Then since the prince of Gusu has no opinion on Si Yin, then I think this family matter can be decided like this, I will return to the palace immediately, and I will make a holy decree immediately, you prepare a little, I will choose a good day and an auspicious day, and the two of you will get married."
"Marriage!"
Shen Zhongbai walked out of the room with a smile on his face, followed by Gu Yan with a bitter face, although Gu Suliang didn't know what was going on, he still greeted him with a smile, "The emperor walks slowly." ”
Gu Huai'an was most worried about his sister, seeing that Shen Zhongbai had walked out of a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Gu Yan, "What did he say to you just now?" ”
Gu Yan hadn't fully reacted until now, so she could only open her mouth woodenly, "He wants to recruit me as a colt......"
Several people made thousands of calculations, thinking that Shen Zhongbai would definitely come over to win over Gu Suran, but they didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai's chess this time was really exciting, and it would save trouble not to give Gu Suran a half-official position, and directly recruit him as a concubine.
"How did you answer?"
"Naturally, he refused, but he didn't give me any chance to speak at all, he said that as soon as he returned to the palace, he would immediately make a holy decree, what should I do now?" Gu Yan regained a little consciousness at this time, and quickly grabbed Gu Huai'an's sleeve, "Brother, why don't you make me that kind of fake death medicine, let's change our identities and continue?" ”
Shen Zhongbai wouldn't give his sister to a lot of people, right?
"It's not going to work." Gu Su Liang sighed, "This may not be a good thing, at least you can enter the palace this time, and you can also have a good relationship with the ministers in the court, this may be an opportunity?" ”
Gu Yan cried with a sad face, "What opportunity?" If they find out that I'm a woman, won't my identity be exposed? ”
"No, you can't run, you have to agree to this matter, but you must agree conditionally." Gu Huaian also felt that Gu Su Liang was right, if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.
After a long while, Qi Bai entered the Lingyin Pavilion, and when he saw the three of them with sad faces, he hurried up, "What's the matter, what's going on again?" ”
"It's not a big deal, I'll tell you later, what did you just do? How did it take so long? Gu Yan finally calmed down slowly, looked at Qi Bai, who seemed to be very excited in front of her, and spoke weakly.
"The envoy from the Southern Qi Kingdom, I heard that Yo is here to make peace, let the Northern An Kingdom marry a princess." Qi Bai seemed to be very excited, drank all the tea on the table, and looked at Gu Yan.
"This is not good news, now for me, the best news may be that you told me that the emperor has decided to say that Shen Siyin is not good, otherwise all the news is not good news for me now."
"No, no, no, I'm not talking about this, what I want to say is, I just saw it on the street, the envoy of Nanqi, I look at this a little familiar, I didn't look at it a few times, I didn't expect the envoy on the horse, after looking at me, he gestured to me, that is the gesture that the guards under the prince know, I think, it may be the prince's people!"
"What? Are you serious? When Gu Yan heard this, there was no way to calm down immediately, for so long, he had not received news from Shen Qianshan, and he had been looking for the wind, but there had been no clues, if what Qi Bai said was really not wrong, then the matter right away was really gesturing with him, maybe the envoy would know Shen Qianshan's whereabouts.
"Of course it's true, he doesn't move much, but I can see that he's identifying himself with me." Qi Bai was excited for a long time, maybe after contacting that person, he might be able to get the news of the prince.
When Gu Su Liang heard the news, he also felt happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, in the evening, Shen Zhongbai sent someone to send an invitation, and the next night, he would feast on the envoys of Southern Qi in the palace, and also invited Gu Suran.
"This is a good opportunity, take this opportunity, you can go and ask if the so-called envoy of Southern Qi really knows the whereabouts of the prince." Gu Huai'an helped Qi Bai prepare a human/leather mask, after all, Gu Huai'an and Gu Su Liang didn't often enter the palace, so there was no way to protect Gu Yan all the time, so Qi Bai could only do this, and by the way, he could also help Gu Yan confirm whether the envoy of Southern Qi was Shen Qianshan's guard.
After getting Su Jingxian's help in the dark night, he went to Kyoto in Bei'an as an envoy of Southern Qi, and originally wanted to take advantage of the few people around him to go to Lingyin Pavilion, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Kyoto, he saw Qi Bai wandering around the street, Qi Bai kept looking at himself, and he gestured to him, hoping that he could understand, although he hadn't seen the princess yet, he should be able to see it soon.
Gu Yan saw that this marriage could not be postponed, so she could only delay it as much as possible, after all, if she was really like Shen Zhongbai, if she was in such a hurry, she would probably make a joke, so she could borrow the saying that she needed preparation time to confuse the past for a while, and it seemed that she couldn't push it off.
"If you are sick, maybe you can last a while, and we also have the opportunity to develop our own power in the court, your identity, although it is a little embarrassing, but for our plan, it should still be more important, tonight you can show your skills in the banquet in the palace, if you have the opportunity to get close to the envoy of the Southern Qi, it is also convenient for us to go and investigate the whereabouts of the prince."
Gu Yan was helpless, so she had to agree, Gu Huai'an, I was afraid that something would go wrong with him, and I kept staring at the things she should pay attention to before leaving, Gu Suliang also taught her a lot, but the most important thing is to see how Gu Yan herself will play at that banquet.
Qi Bai put on a human/leather mask, and deliberately raised the cushions of his shoes, and after changing into a dark blue dress, the whole person looked completely different from before, and even Gu Yan felt unrecognizable.
Compared with Gu Yan's concerns, Qi Bai seemed very excited, and when he thought of the envoy that day, he gestured to himself, Qi Bai became more and more sure that that person must be the person next to the prince, and there would be no mistake.
Nanqi and Dongliang are different, Dongliang is a small country, and it feels a little incredible to be able to go to war, not to mention that it has been in a stalemate with Bei'an's army for so many days, but Nanqi has always been at peace with Bei'an, that is, both sides are shackled to each other, so the two sides have not moved.
Therefore, the envoys of the Southern Qi Dynasty came, and the Northern Anguo was indeed to be grandly entertained, and a banquet was held in this hall, and all the civil and military officials gathered, which was not the treatment that ordinary envoys could have.
After all, Gu Suran's identity is still a commoner, although Shen Zhongbai has already prepared the holy decree of marriage, but after all, it has not been sent yet, and everyone still doesn't know, Gu Suran can't be too late, and he waited at the door of the big one early, fortunately, the weather has gradually warmed up, otherwise I don't know how long it will freeze.
