Chapter 49: Marriage refusal

"Your Majesty, Lai'er has always been gentle and virtuous, she grew up under the noses of her concubines, and the concubines can guarantee that she will not do such a hurtful thing. There must be some misunderstanding here, and please Your Majesty to find out, don't wronged Lai'er. Concubine Zhen could probably guess what was going on, and after relieving herself, she hurriedly helped Gu Qinglai explain.

"Okay, I don't think the second lady will do such a thing. That's all for today, don't talk about it again. When the queen heard this, she also opened her mouth and said, this matter is difficult to solve, if you bite it tightly, it will be troublesome, and Hengzhi has not hurt her, and she has no need to get to the bottom of it.

"Thank you, Queen!" When Concubine Zhen and the others heard this, they hurriedly spoke.

"I don't know what Miss Gu thinks? Do you think that the decision of this palace is unfair? Just when everyone thought that the matter had been overturned, they suddenly heard the queen ask again.

When Gu Jiuge heard this, his face was still as calm as an ancient well, but he blessed.

"The courtiers don't dare, the queen is kind-hearted, how can she lose her fairness. And the courtier's daughter was not injured, but only suffered the fourth sister. Gu Jiuge opened his mouth and said lightly, as smart as her, how could she not see that the queen was deliberately suppressing this matter. Anyway, her goal has been achieved, and there is no need to make things bigger.

After all, Gu Qinglai couldn't clear his suspicions.

The queen looked at her deeply, her eyes deep, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Gu Xiang, this palace looks at your daughter is excellent. The appearance is alluring, dignified and knowledgeable, I don't know if I can let people do it? After another while, the queen suddenly looked at Gu Shuyuan and asked.

Gu Shuyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't understand what the queen meant. Since she asked like this, she had the intention to be a matchmaker and wanted to marry Gu Jiuge.

Gu Jiu, who had just returned to her position at that time, secretly clenched her palms into fists, and what she was worried about was still coming. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Xuan Lang, who was sitting opposite, but saw that he also happened to look over.

The four eyes met, on one side was joy and anticipation, but Gu Jiuge's eyes were cold and indissolvable hatred.

"Back to the mother, the little girl is not married yet." Although Gu Shuyuan had concerns in his heart, he had to tell the truth, after all, he couldn't afford to be guilty of bullying the king.

"It's so good, this palace has the heart to be a matchmaker." The queen nodded when she heard this, and then said with great satisfaction.

"The queen wants to give Miss Gu a marriage?" Mu Yao turned his head to look at her and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the concubine looked at Miss Gu and Lang'er as a natural pair. And Lang'er has already reached the age of marriage, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? The queen chuckled when she heard this, and didn't forget to glance at Xuan Lang and Gu Jiuge.

Mu Yao really thought about it after hearing this, he originally thought that the queen would marry Gu Jiuge to the crown prince Xuanqing, who knew that it was actually to be promised to Xuanlang, it was really a surprise to Mu Yao. After all, Gu Jiuge's appearance and talent are all superior, and she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a noble status, and there are the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion behind her, with such a big maternal power, which prince doesn't want to climb into this in-law?

But the queen did this, but he was a little incomprehensible.

Seeing that Mu Yao was thinking seriously, the people sitting down all held their breath and waited for the result.

Gu Qinglai was even more angry and trembling, she had already learned from Concubine Zhen that the queen intended to marry the princes today, so she did everything she could to please her, but who knew that she was still suppressed by Gu Jiuge in the end!

"Father, since the queen mother mentioned this matter, the sons and daughters no longer hide it. Erchen has long been devoted to his sister Gu, and he also asked his father to fulfill it. Just as Mu Yao was thinking, Xuan Lang got up and walked to the center of the main hall, waved his sleeves and lifted his robe, knelt down, looked at Mu Yao and said.

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, and seemed to be very satisfied with the marriage. There were even a group of young ladies with annoyed and jealous expressions on their faces, but only Gu Jiuge lowered his eyes and tasted tea, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Gu Jiuge picked up the white jade ceramic cup in his hand and played with it. She is no longer the stupid Gu Jiuge in her previous life, this time she is fighting for her life, and she will never agree to the queen's marriage!

"It turns out that Lang'er and Miss Gu have long admired each other, so it's really a godsend, Your Majesty, don't beat the mandarin ducks." Hearing this, the queen's face showed joy, and she looked at Mu Yao and said with a chuckle.

Mu Liang, who was sitting below, raised his eyes to look, but saw that the woman opposite was calm. Seeing this situation, he didn't move and let out a sigh, it seemed that Gu Jiuge had a way to deal with it, since this was the case, he didn't need to take action.

Although he hadn't found out what had happened between Gu Jiuge and Xuan Lang, he could know from his observation during this time that Gu Jiu Ge was by no means the queen's admiration for Xuan Lang. So no matter what, Gu Jiuge would not marry Xuan Lang.

"Why did I hit the mandarin duck with a stick, but I still have to ask Miss Gu what I mean about this matter." Mu Yao didn't disagree, according to Gu Jiuge's character and talent, it was more than enough to want to be the princess. It's just that this is not a trivial matter in the end, if you rashly give marriage without asking her meaning, I am afraid that Gu Shuyuan will not easily agree.

"What Your Majesty said is that Lang'er is handsome and handsome, and Wen Taowu is superior. Although he was not born in this palace, but for so many years, this palace has been treating him as his own son and cultivating him, such an excellent son in this palace, presumably no girl in any family will refuse. The queen covered her mouth and said with a chuckle, she was praising Xuan Lang on the surface, but in fact, she was secretly warning Gu Jiuge.

"Miss Gu, I don't know what you think?" After the queen finished speaking, she looked at Gu Jiuge and asked softly.

When Gu Jiuge heard this, he knew that he couldn't hide, so he put down the cup in his hand very obediently and walked to the center of the hall.

"Thank you for the kindness of the queen, the third highness is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people, and the courtiers know that their status is low, so they really don't dare to think about it." Gu Jiuge said lightly, his light and shallow voice was very comfortable to listen to, but the words he said were shocking.

Xuan Lang frowned even more, she never thought that Gu Jiuge would refuse to marry in public!

Although Mu Yao has not yet made a decree to give marriage, he and the queen have already said so, but Gu Jiuge still insists on refusing to marry, what is the difference between this and disobeying the decree!

"Does Miss Gu know what she's talking about? In the past, I heard that the eldest lady had a deep affection for His Royal Highness, why did she have to resist and disobey now? The queen didn't expect Gu Jiuge to have such an attitude, so she couldn't help but sink her face, looked at her and said softly.

It's just that her tone is far less kind than Fang Cai, perhaps in order to deter Gu Jiuge, she even brought out the charge of disobedience, in order to let her know that the matter of marriage is imperative, and she can't say a word.

"The courtiers have no admiration for the Third Highness, and there are many outstanding and excellent girls in the royal city, and they also ask the queen to find another good wife for the Third Highness." Gu Jiuge said calmly as if he hadn't heard the threat in the queen's tone.

The queen's face became completely gloomy when she heard this, she had already had the heart to decide this marriage, but she was rejected by Gu Jiuge at this time, and she was naturally not good-looking on her face.

"Could it be that in Miss Gu's heart, Lang'er is not worthy of you?" The queen looked at her and asked in a cold voice, with a sense of forced marriage.

"The old minister doesn't agree to this marriage, so the queen should find another candidate." A voice full of majesty sounded above the main hall, with an aura that people did not dare to question.

The queen followed the prestige, only to find that it was the old general Zhao Gao who spoke.

Zhao Gao got up and walked to Gu Jiuge's side and stood still, this gesture was to tell the queen that this marriage could not be negotiated!

"Don't be afraid, there's a grandfather here." Zhao Gao looked sideways at Gu Jiuge and said softly, a few days ago, Gu Jiuge went to the General's Mansion and asked Zhao Gao to be on her side, he didn't know anything at that time, but he only knew it at this moment.

"Old general, this palace just thinks this is a good marriage, I don't know why the old general refused?" The queen's brows furrowed more and more when she heard this, but because of Zhao Gao's identity, she didn't dare to be too tough.

"As long as Ge'er is unwilling, don't say that it is the Third Highness, even Your Majesty can't force her. In the same way, as long as she is willing, even if that person is a beggar on the street, Lao Chen is willing! Zhao Gao looked at her and said with disdain, with a tough attitude and direct words, but he didn't leave any face for the queen.

Hearing Zhao Gao say this, the queen was almost so angry that she fainted.

"It seems that Erchen is not good enough, since Sister Gu is unwilling, Erchen naturally can't be forced. Please also ask the father and queen mother to take back their fate, if the son and sister Gu are fateful, they will definitely be together in the future despite all difficulties. Seeing Zhao Gao's resolute attitude, Xuan Lang no longer insisted, and could only follow his meaning.

"The Third Highness rest assured, the courtiers will also overcome all difficulties, and will never mistake others with themselves and delay the Third Highness." The corners of Gu Jiuge's mouth were slightly hooked when he heard this, obviously he was smiling like a flower, but the words he said made people feel chilled.

Xuan Lang listened, and the smile on his face was a little unbearable, and he could only barely hold on to his last bit of demeanor.

"The matter of fate has always been determined by heaven, and this hall believes that I and Sister Gu have a fate." The corners of Xuan Lang's mouth raised a smile, looked at Gu Jiuge and said softly. Thinking that Gu Jiuge's admiration for him was well known to everyone at the beginning, although she had suddenly changed her attitude now, Xuan Lang believed that he must have a way to make her change her mind!

Gu Jiuge just smiled politely when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more.

Xuan Lang is right, they are destined to be entangled, and they have two lives. It's just that in this life, they are destined to kill each other and never die!

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, don't bring it up again." Mu Yao looked at everyone and said lightly.
