Gu Yan had no expression on her face from beginning to end, as if she couldn't hear Shen Zhongbai's words, so naturally Shen Zhongbai didn't continue.

The emperor took over and said: "Zhongbai, this is the second girl of the Gu family, she performed well in Liu Aiqing's donation of food this time, because of her words, Liu Aiqing firmly donated food, today I decided to reward this girl, what do you think?" ”

Shen Zhongbai looked at the emperor strangely, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still smiled and said: "This is as it should be, since you have done a good thing, then it is better to reward it." ”

The emperor laughed dryly twice and said to Shen Zhongbai: "This girl's request for reward is to marry you." ”

Shen Zhongbai was stunned for a moment, the cup in his hand stopped in mid-air, frowned, and finally couldn't help but say, "Why me?" ”

After Gu Zhihua and Ye Shi heard Shen Zhongbai's words, they both looked up at him in surprise, this man's attitude had obviously been shown, could it be that this man didn't like Gu Zhihua at all, and he didn't want to marry her?

"That's not because Zhongbai has a good character, outstanding appearance, and excellent ability, that other girls take a fancy to you." The queen mother was next to her and hurriedly said.

The emperor also said: "You are not too young, if you can have a wife, it will also help you in the affairs of your house, what do you think?" ”

Shen Zhongbai's eyes looked at Gu Zhihua coldly, does this woman want to marry herself?

Although Gu Zhihua was blushing and lowering his head, he knew that Shen Zhongbai was looking at him, and he suddenly became even more nervous. She already knew his attitude, and if he didn't want to marry her, the emperor wouldn't be able to say anything.

can't be like this, Shen Zhongbai must agree, Gu Zhihua's lifelong wish is to marry Shen Zhongbai, and now that he is only one step away from this opportunity, how can he give up?

So Gu Zhihua raised his head and met Shen Zhongbai's eyes, and then said, "Third prince, please fulfill this wish of the courtiers." ”

Shen Zhongbai leaned sideways on the chair and looked Gu Zhihua up and down, this girl was obviously dressed up seriously today, her makeup was exquisite, her clothes were bright and decent, and her appearance was tender and moving, but Shen Zhongbai was uncomfortable no matter how she looked at it.

Looking at Gu Zhihua's Gu Yan again, she is no different from when she entered the palace before, the clothes are not the best materials, and the whole person's dress is also very ordinary, and she does not have the luxury and gorgeousness of the young lady, but just sitting there makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"It's naturally good to be able to care about the world, but this king doesn't like you, you should know." After Shen Zhongbai said this, he looked into Gu Zhihua's eyes, and the desperation in those eyes almost made her nose sore, and then in front of everyone, tears flowed down.

She wanted to control herself, so that she would not show her vulnerable side in front of these people, and let Shen Zhongbai know that she didn't have to be him.

But the sourness in my heart couldn't be controlled, so I could only reach out and wipe my tears.

The emperor couldn't bear to turn his head and said: "This matter is settled, how can I say that the girl of the Gu family also helped the people of the capital, and she has contributed a lot." I am qualified to fulfill this wish. ”

In fact, the emperor is looking for himself to go under the stairs, as the king of a country, can't he meet the wishes of a girl in other people, then the emperor has also failed a little.

Of course, Shen Zhongbai understood what the emperor meant, even if he was unhappy in his heart, there was no way, it seemed that this Gu Zhihua was about to enter the palace.

Since it is something that cannot be changed, of course Shen Zhongbai will look at his face, so he hurriedly said: "Since His Royal Highness thinks that this thing is feasible, then Zhongbai has no reason to disagree, but forget about the main wife, how about Miss Gu marrying in and being a side concubine?" ”

Gu Zhihua couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't control his expression at all, as if he had been let down, the Ye family got up suddenly, as if he had forgotten his identity, and shouted loudly: "Third prince, what do you mean?" Isn't my family painting worthy of you? ”

Gu Yan was stunned by the side, is this Ye family crazy, how can he say such things in front of the emperor and the queen, if the emperor gets angry and punishes them severely, I am afraid that even Gu Yan will be affected.

Sure enough, before the emperor could say anything, Shen Zhongbai slapped the table, then stood up and shouted loudly: "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Ye's face turned white all of a sudden, and Liu Shixiao, who had been watching the excitement next to him, was very surprised, thinking that it was a very wise choice to choose Ye's and Gu Zhihua this time, but he didn't expect that this time it seemed to be a wrong choice, because Gu Yan looked more wise.

From the beginning of this incident, Gu Yan was unfazed, no matter who made any requests or said what questions, she just sat there quietly, as if she had nothing to do with herself.

Liu Shixiao has been observing Gu Yan, of course, she also saw Liu Shixiao's unabashed gaze, and met his gaze.

Liu Shixiao looked away with a weak heart, pretending to look elsewhere, Gu Yan sneered, this man seemed to be proud before, but now he must have regretted it.

Ye immediately knelt on the ground, and only then did he realize that his body had begun to tremble, and he realized that he seemed to have gone too far.

Then Ye Shi gave himself two mouths fiercely, this is a real start, his face became red and swollen, Ye Shi knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head twice, before looking up at Shen Zhongbai, as if hoping that after he did this, he could let him dissipate his anger.

Sure enough, Shen Zhongbai didn't expect that the Ye family could do it to this extent, and it was not easy to pursue anything, so Shen Zhongbai adjusted his face, got up and said to the emperor: "In this case, my brother will leave first, if this Gu girl is ready, notify this king, this king will prepare, and let you pass the door." ”

After speaking, he left like a gust of wind, the emperor was helpless, Shen Zhongbai didn't want Gu Zhihua to be his wife, and the emperor couldn't force it, he had a strong army in the capital and was eccentric, even the emperor had to be afraid of three points, and it was already the biggest concession to get to this point.

Then the emperor said to the people in front of him, "You all go down." ”

After speaking, he also left with the queen's mother. There were so many people in this pavilion just now, and all of a sudden there were Gu Changye's Gu Zhihua and Liu Shixiao.

Ye Shi dragged Gu Zhihua up from the ground, wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and coaxed: "Zhihua, don't cry, at least you can marry the third prince as you wish, isn't it good?" ”

Gu Zhihua's voice was choked, his face was pale, and he looked at Shang Ye's gaze and asked helplessly: "Mother, the third prince doesn't really want to marry me at all, what should I do?" ”

Liu Shiyan stood up from the side, tidied up his clothes, and walked in front of Gu Yan very naturally, the voice was not loud, but Ye Shi and Gu Zhihua heard clearly: "It turns out that you are the concubine of the Gu family?" The old man has always had a question, why is your sister taking the credit for you, but you are not angry at all? ”

Liu Shixiao, a sister who has such a good relationship, has never seen it, and he can see it clearly as an outsider, the third prince seems to have some liking for Gu Yan, but Gu Zhihua likes what the third prince likes, in this wonderful relationship, the role played by Gu Zhihua is very sad, and he should not have a broad mind to talk to Gu Yan.

Gu Zhihua turned her head to look at Gu Yan, her tears had blocked her vision, and her rising and falling chest expressed her uncontrollable emotions.

Gu Yan's face was pale, as if she didn't want to talk to Liu Shixiao, this man was really a despicable villain, but today when he asked himself like this, she made an exception to tell him.

"Why should I be angry? I don't have anything I need, after all, I don't have a man I want to marry. After Gu Yan finished speaking, Zhou turned around and left.

Ye Shi and Gu Zhihua looked at her back from behind, gritting their teeth angrily, Liu Shixiao walked up and smiled at Ye, and said helplessly: "Madam, you see, the old man has done his best, it is the third prince who has not taken a fancy to the girl of your family, but at this time it should be impossible to change, if your daughter gets married, please leave a glass of happy wine for the old man, I am grateful." ”

After speaking, he slowly left.

When Gu Yan returned to the mansion, it was already evening, and when something like this happened, the sedan chair painted by Ye and Gu Zhi couldn't sit down, but fortunately, the palace was not far from Prime Minister Gu's mansion, and they arrived while walking.

When passing by the courtyard of the main hall, Prime Minister Gu Cheng sat inside and sighed, Gu Zhihua cried beside him, and the corners of Gu Yan's mouth rose slightly in an imperceptible arc, and then disappeared.

walked up to greet Prime Minister Gu Cheng, he just waved his hand, seemed to be very impatient, turned his head and shouted: "Don't cry, didn't you choose this man yourself?" Why are you upset now? ”

Gu Zhihua was very jealous of Prime Minister Gu before, but today he was really stimulated, so he turned his head and said loudly: "What I want to do is a wife, a princess, not a side concubine!" ”

With this roar, Prime Minister Gu even didn't believe his eyes, is this the daughter who was educated by his own strict family rules?

So Prime Minister Gu Cheng said angrily: "Are you talking to me?" The third prince doesn't like you, what's the solution? Didn't you two always want the third prince to marry you? Now that you have your wish, are you still picking? Do you really think you deserve the position of the princess? ”

Gu Zhihua didn't seem to care if he was out of bounds, turned his head and said sharply: "Why can't you?" How can I not be his wife? ”

Gu Chengxiang's face was flushed with anger, he was confronted by his own child for the first time, and it was still in front of Gu Yan, if he didn't suppress the evil fire painted by Gu Zhi today, I am afraid that the majesty in front of Gu Yan would be gone.

So Prime Minister Gu Cheng didn't think about it, and said coldly: "You are a concubine, if you can marry the prince, you can steal the fun." ”
