Chapter 58: Political Marriages
It has been more than 20 days since I left Wuxiang Village.
Seeing the Taihe black chickens in the space hatching a few black eggs, the pink and tender little black chickens are playing and chasing in the space, which is extremely cute.
Chi Yue came to take care of it every day, feeding some coarse grains and vegetables, and she was quite relieved to see that these little black chickens lived up to their expectations and grew longer day by day.
And the big black chicken lays eggs every two days, which is still frequent. She decided to wait until they hatched twenty before collecting the black eggs so that they could be sold at a high price.
Carrying a cart of sugar cane, Chi Yue followed Mu Chen to his chain of restaurants in Xinyi.
Knowing that in Xinyi Country, Mu Chen actually had four chains, and Chi Yue couldn't help but admire.
She fantasized that her sugar factory could be like his chain of ginseng restaurants, which could be opened all over Kyushu and famous all over the world.
She told Mu Chen about this bold idea, and Mu Chen sincerely admired, "In this way, you are a heroine in the business world, and you are also a model for women from now on." ”
Chi Yue pursed her lips disapprerovingly, "It's not a model, it's almost a banshee." Nowadays, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and no one dares to ask for interest like me, so where will anyone look at me as a model to learn? ”
"How can no one want someone as smart as you do?" Mu Chen shook his head with a smile, "If you don't dislike it, there is one here, which can be your lifelong support at any time." ”
When Chi Yuequan was making fun of himself, Gege smiled and said: "Then I will thank you Mu Gongzi, if no one has come to the door to propose marriage when you are at the age of marriage, the first thing I think of is you, and at that time, you don't have to pay the bill." ”
Seeing that Chi Yue seemed to be joking, and said it so explicitly, she was not at all like those reserved young ladies and girls. Mu Chen looked at her back in a daze, and a strange look crossed his chest.
Somehow, he really had the idea of protecting this little thing with wings that had not yet plumped, so that he was also stunned.
Since the death of his parents, his heart has been as cold as ice, and he never imagined that someone would melt the ice and blow a pool of warmth for him.
It is clear that with Chi Yue, he only feels warm, and even wants to go on side by side like this forever......
At this time, Gu Han was pacing around in King Rong's mansion, so impatient.
"Lord Wang, Miss Han Er is looking for you again, you ......" The silhouette swallowed back the words raw, he knew that the last thing Gu Han wanted to see now was this Miss Han Qi.
If he asked more, all he received was a blank look from Gu Han, and he reprimanded coldly.
Sure enough, when Gu Han heard the words "Miss Han Er", he slapped his palm down fiercely, and shook the paper, ink, pen and inkstone on the table three inches high.
It has been more than a month since he returned to the capital.
He proposed to leave several times and go back to Baihua County to be his free prince, but the Queen Mother insisted on holding him back, threatening that if he left, she would also go out and spend her old age alone, never coming back.
Although Gu Han likes to be free alone, he also has a filial piety in his heart, although he knows that the Queen Mother is angry, he does not dare to act arbitrarily, and he will leave.
If the Queen Mother simply wanted him to stay, he would still be willing to do this filial piety, but now it seems that the Queen Mother's heart is not so simple.
She was clearly matching him and Han Qi, and had the intention of letting him marry the Han family politically to stabilize the regime.
is so blatant, unconcealed, people in the capital are everywhere talking about this is inevitable, the good fate of "talented and beautiful", he can't see the reason anymore, he is a complete fool!
And Han Qi was so unreserved, he came to look for him every once in a while, but when he couldn't find him, he dragged the Queen Mother to come, so that he had to meet her hard.
Such a tough attitude also made Gu Han more and more disgusted with her.
He didn't like it when someone forced him to do something, but she did the opposite, how could he make him feel good about her?
was letting his thoughts wander wildly, but he heard the Queen Mother's voice coming from far and near, "Han'er, I heard that you are not feeling well again?" Didn't you call the Imperial Doctor to come and take a look? The queen mother has brought Qi'er to see you, if there is anything you want to eat, just say to Qi'er. Oh, look at the mung bean cake and red bean cake she brought you today, you are salivating when you look at it, and you can't help but take a bite. ”
Han Qi asked the maid next to him to put a box of pastries on the table, leaned over to Gu Han's side, looked him up and down, and pouted: "Wang Rong is really good at telling lies and deceiving people, and there is nothing wrong with him, so he just said that he was uncomfortable and refused to see me." Hmph, you don't see me, I'm coming, see what you do with me! ”
Han Qi's willfulness is unreasonable and hateful in Gu Han's eyes, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother who feels sorry for her, her demeanor is cute, which makes people can't help but indulge her more.
"Han'er, you and Qi'er have been getting along for more than a month, and they know each other clearly, and Qi'er's concern for you is well known to passers-by and praised by everyone. If you are so merciless to her, will you not make her grieved, and will others say that you are not grateful? This is not our royal demeanor. ”
"Queen Mother, this concern for her sons is not needed." Gu Han said coldly, bringing a room of early spring chills, "If it is imposed on one person to care, it is better to forget about each other, which is much more comfortable." ”
This was said very clearly, he didn't need Han Qi's concern, and hoped that she would not come to disturb him again.
The indifferent and resolute tone made the arrogant Han Qideng's eyes red, where could she stand being so humiliated in front of many subordinates?
She immediately pulled the sleeve of the Queen Mother's coat and said coquettishly: "The Queen Mother, look at him!" Qi'er paid so much, but was poured cold water on him, Qi'er, Qi'er never cared about him anymore! ”
As he spoke, he lifted the pastry box on the table and ran outside.
"Qi'er, you stop!" The Queen Mother stopped her.
Han Qi stood still, with his face behind his back, and tears broke down in his eyes.
The Queen Mother was angry, came to Gu Han, paused for her rosewood crutches, and said in a stiff voice: "For so many days, you are probably aware of the Queen Mother's intentions. The queen mother wants you to marry Han Qi as your wife and be the princess of your Rongwang Mansion, you have to agree if you don't agree! ”
"Qi'er is so attentive to you, if you lose her, you won't even be as good as an animal!"
Gu Han lowered his eyes, his eyes were like a deep pool, so gloomy that he couldn't look to the end, which also made people see Dengsheng's coldness.
"Queen Mother, if your sons don't agree, what about you?" Gu Leng opened his mouth coldly, and his tough tone was also indispensable, even a little more terrifying than the majesty of the Queen Mother, and he suppressed the other party's arrogance.
The Queen Mother had never seen Gu Han contradict her like this, and she was stunned for a while.
"Then you should tell me, what's wrong with Han Qi that makes you determined not to marry her?" The Queen Mother tried to soften her tone, but she asked for an understanding.
"Miss Han is good everywhere, but it's just not suitable for her sons." Gu Han said lightly, "The twisted melon is not sweet, if you marry Miss Han, it can't bring her happiness, so it's better to cut through the mess quickly and let Miss Han die." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head puzzled, "What does it mean that it is not suitable for you?" Han Qi is the first beauty in the capital and the first talented woman in Dasheng Kingdom, everyone is eager to rush to her, but you can't feel her good in this hollow wood! It's gas, it's gassy! ”
"I don't believe you." Han Qi suddenly turned around and said angrily at Gu Han, "I still have some confidence in myself, isn't it King Rong that you have a sweetheart outside, so you will do everything possible to stay away from me, so that I run into walls everywhere in you, and I am bored with myself?" ”
Hearing Han Qi's words, the Queen Mother turned around in the end, and her eyes looked at Gu Han, "Han'er, what Qi'er said is true?" You really have a sweetheart, who is that person? ”
Gu Han opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he couldn't help it.
It's not the time to tell the truth.
"Erchen doesn't have any sweetheart, Miss Han thinks about it." Gu Han said with a straight face, and saluted respectfully towards the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I hope you will let your son be the master for a while, and don't persecute the child again." ”
Seeing that Gu Han was so stubborn, the Queen Mother was helpless, and she wanted to slow him down as he wished. But as soon as he saw Han Qi's pitiful appearance of being wronged and wiping his tears, he felt that Gu Han was ignorant, wouldn't it be a pity if Han Qi of the family died of heart and no longer planned to marry their royal family?
She immediately flicked her crimson phoenix-sleeved robe, "Hmph, I'm going to ask your imperial brother to give you a decree to give marriage, and see how you can use the excuse to delay." ”
She held Han Qi's hand again, and said softly with relief, "Qi'er, don't worry, with the emperor in charge, no one can bully you!" ”
Han Qi immediately burst into tears and laughed, "It's still the Queen Mother's good to Qi'er, where is it like someone!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Han with disgust.
Gu Han couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw these two unreasonable women leaving.
Not long ago, the emperor also asked him what he meant to Han Qi. Gu Han immediately expressed his intentions, saying that he had no feelings for Han Qi at all, and he would not be able to have the slightest affection in the future, so he tactfully asked the emperor to dispel the idea of marriage.
The little emperor has a deep brotherhood with Gu Han, and it is naturally easy to empathize.
The relationship between the emperor and the queen is the political marriage made by the queen mother to stabilize the throne.
After a long time, he gradually became attached to the concubines next to him, and he became more and more indifferent to the queen.
Although he knows that it is really unfair to treat the virtuous queen in this way, but the emotional matter comes from the heart, and he can't force it, so he can only let the queen be like a deep cold palace, guarding the empty boudoir alone, and he is sorry alone.
He didn't want Gu Han to follow in his footsteps and marry a woman he didn't love.
Seeing that the imperial brother was so considerate of himself, Gu Han was grateful.
It's just that if the queen mother insists on forcing the emperor to make a decree at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not succumb to the queen mother's obscenity in order to fulfill his filial piety.
was thinking about it, the silhouette came over, and he handed over his hand to report: "Lord Wang, someone from Baihua County came to report, saying that Miss Chi went to Xinyi Country to increase the yield of sugarcane hybridization. ”
Gu Han paused, and hurriedly asked, "Did she go alone?" Isn't it too dangerous! ”
It was the first time that Gu Han had seen Gu Han so anxiously concerned about a person, and his face, which had always been calm and unwavering, was full of obvious concern for Chi Yue at this time.
The silhouette hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Miss Chi went south with Mu Chen, the owner of the natural residence, and she has been there for about a month. ”
Hearing the silhouette's reply, Gu Han only felt that his chest seemed to be blocked by a heavy stone, making him breathless.
She was going with the other men!
He was resentful, but he was also resentful of himself.
If he is in Baihua County, he should be the one who accompanies her and protects her south.
The air in the room was dull and oppressive, and the silhouette only felt that this was the prelude to the coming storm, and the whole person could not help but panic.
"Prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to the palace." Gu Han commanded in a deep voice.
