Chapter 183: Promise to Persuade
Gu Yanbai was not a person who beat around the bush, so he simply nodded and agreed: "The minister knows." ”
After saying this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and there was no need to waste his tongue.
He coughed dryly and asked, "It's been so long, why don't you tell me your answer?" ”
Sure enough, I can't escape.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan's white eyes moved slightly, he took a deep breath, and said calmly: "The minister's answer is the same as before, and it will not change. ”
"What?" The emperor was very dissatisfied, and it could be seen that he was angry.
After so many days, he thought that Gu Yanbai would grow and improve, at least he could think more clearly. Yet he was as stubborn as ever.
Gu Yanbai emphasized again: "No matter how many times the emperor wants to ask the minister, the minister's answer will never change. ”
"Gu Yanbai, I tell you, don't be ignorant. No matter how you say that the seventh princess is my daughter, it is rare that the seventh princess has a deep affection for you, if you are so obsessed, don't blame me for not being emotional. The emperor was furious and pointed at Gu Yanbai and reprimanded.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the imperial study were already so frightened that they knelt on the ground in a cold sweat. But Gu Yanbai was unmoved, always looking indifferent, and did not show a trace of fear.
He looked at the emperor and said calmly: "If the emperor is to blame, the minister has no regrets, and he also asks the emperor to blame only one minister, and this matter has nothing to do with others." ”
"You!" The angry emperor was speechless, but he could see that Gu Yanbai came over this time, and he was determined to die.
However, this time I called him to ask clearly. But he really didn't want to, and he couldn't punish him for it. Once it gets out, what will the people say?
Even though the emperor had a lot of reluctance in his heart, he finally waved his hand and didn't say anything, letting him go first.
Everything that happened in the imperial study, the words of the two, were listened to by the seventh princess who was hiding outside.
After the people left, the seventh princess rushed in angrily: "Father, what should I do?" ”
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he will not worry about such a trivial matter. But seeing his daughter crying urgently, his heart softened. At the same time, his self-esteem as the Son of Heaven also reminded him that this matter could not just pass.
He held the seventh princess lovingly and comforted: "Don't worry, my father still has a way, and he will definitely let Gu Yanbai marry you willingly." ”
This method is very simple, after the seventh princess's mood is stabilized, the emperor wrote a letter and asked the eunuch to send it to the hands of the Marquis of Xiaoyao.
The content of the letter can be imagined, and after Xiaoyao Hou saw it, his expression was solemn and worried.
Chen took the letter and read it back and forth twice: "The child is his father, what should I do about this matter?" ”
Xiaoyao Hou didn't have a headache: "The emperor is in a hurry, if Yanbai's child doesn't agree as soon as possible, even if this matter passes, the emperor will hate the Hou Mansion because of this." ”
"But Yanbai ...... there" Chen frowned and sighed helplessly.
Which mother doesn't want her child to be happy, knowing that he has a heart, but she still wants to force him.
"Don't think too much about this, I'll take care of it." Xiaoyao Hou knew Chen's thoughts, held her hand, and was relieved.
Since Gu Yanbai was drunk, in order to prevent embarrassment, Mingyuexi simply moved to live with Zhu Bajie. For many days, the two did not see each other again.
In the early morning of this day, Mingyuexi woke up early and set off to prepare for breakfast, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Mingyuexi asked as she opened the courtyard door.
When she saw that the person standing outside the door was Xiaoyaohou, her expression froze on her face.
"Master Hou, why are you here?" As she spoke, she subconsciously stepped back.
Xiaoyaohou hesitated, and walked in: "I'll come and take a look." ”
The person who came was a guest, Mingyuexi didn't say much, and immediately invited people in. Fortunately, she had prepared some good tea here before, so that she could take it out for reception.
A cup of tea was placed in front of Xiaoyaohou, and he waved his hand: "You don't have to be so polite. ”
Mingyuexi sat opposite him and asked tentatively: "If Lord Hou came here today for the sake of Little Master Hou, then I can only say that there is nothing I can do." ”
If you think about it carefully, you can also understand why Xiaoyao Hou came. Mingyuexi didn't want to continue to dwell on this kind of thing, so she simply opened the skylight and said something bright.
Hearing her say this, Xiaoyao Hou also understood her thoughts: "Miss Ming is very smart, and she came here today, and she is indeed a dog." I really beg the girl to come forward, and if you can persuade the dog, you will surely repay it in the future. ”
said it so seriously, Mingyuexi didn't immediately agree.
There was no response for half a sound, and Xiaoyao Hou simply resorted to a killer move. Leaving his seat, he bent his knees, and he was about to kneel down for Mingyuexi.
Seeing this, Mingyuexi immediately helped Xiaoyao Hou up, looking helpless: "Master Hou, what are you doing?" ”
Xiaoyao Hou sighed: "The emperor has already come to urge Benhou, if he is in a hurry, the emperor does not know what to do at that time." is such a son, and he can't send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. If Miss Ming doesn't agree, the old man will kneel here today! ”
Having said that, Mingyuexi knew that she had to let go of Gu Yanbai.
She endured the sourness in her heart and said with difficulty: "You let me think about it for another day, and then I will definitely give you an answer." ”
Xiaoyaohou didn't continue to force Mingyuexi, he also knew that this little girl was not easy. After a while, he left on his own.
After sending the person out, a man sat in the courtyard in a decadent manner, full of dazed eyes. The bitter taste spreads in my heart, and I feel so uncomfortable that I don't know what to do.
Zhu Bajie also came out of nowhere, and a steamed bun was stuffed into Mingyuexi's hand, and he was also distressed: "Xiaoxi, in fact, you don't have to be so sad." Let me tell you clearly, you also know Gu Yanbai's true identity, and these seven princesses are his love calamities in this life, and they are not something you and I can control. ”
"The Seventh Princess is Yan Bai's love robbery?" Mingyuexi was extremely shocked, and her heart chuckled.
Zhu Bajie nodded heavily and admitted this statement.
For a while, if Mingyuexi hadn't held back in time, tears would have flowed down.
She bit her lip and tried to calm herself: "I see. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Mingyuexi quietly went to the Hou Mansion to explain her intentions. She didn't plan to interfere, but she still agreed to Xiaoyaohou according to the original plan, and she would persuade Gu Yanbai to let go.
The Seven Princesses walked casually by the lake, sometimes picking up stones from the ground and throwing them at the surface of the lake, as a way to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Good sister, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, a voice came, and the Seventh Princess subconsciously looked at it, and it turned out to be Xia Nanfeng standing there.
