Chapter 284: The Best Choice
♂? ,,
"Queen Mother, the son is serious, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zhang will never marry her, the person the son likes in his heart is Miss Gu Er, please do it!"
A good blind date conference was supposed to end successfully, but Xuanyuan Jingxi suddenly inserted a lever, and instantly made the sons of the family invited by the Queen Mother personally become decorations.
Mrs. Jinye Hou stood there, looking at the back and forth between the Queen Mother and King Jing, and she couldn't say a word in shock.
Gu Ruoxi stood there, a little speechless, she really couldn't figure it out, she kissed her well, set her marriage, what did it matter to King Jing? What kind of mess is he running here!
"Jing'er! Is it going to be so? The Queen Mother was extremely upset by Xuanyuan Jingxi's outrageous words, she took a deep breath, no longer looked at her son, but turned to look at Gu Ruoxi and said: "This excitement is not something that can be made up if you want to, who to choose in this matter, let Miss Gu Er make her own decision!" ”
As she spoke, she nodded at Gu Ruoxi, meaning that she would choose who she wanted to marry.
Gu Ruoxi said without hesitation: "Queen Mother, the little girl chooses Xu Gongzi." ”
"Listen!" The Queen Mother turned her head, looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi and said, "The second miss of the ancient people has made their own decisions, so don't be entangled anymore!" ”
Xuanyuan Jingxi ignored the Queen Mother, but looked at Gu Ruoxi with blazing eyes, not for a moment.
Gu Ruoxi did not show weakness and let him take a look.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Jingxi slowly spoke: "Second Miss Gu, really don't need this king to be responsible?" ”
Gu Ruoxi replied lightly: "Lord Wang, the person you should be responsible for is Miss Zhang, not me." ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face suddenly showed a hint of joy, Gu Ruoxi said so many things after she came in today, but only this one sentence was said in her heart!
When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he looked at Gu Ruoxi for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing!
Gu Ruoxi was startled, he never thought that he would go crazy in front of the palace, and involuntarily took a step back!
Xu Xian also involuntarily moved towards Gu Ruoxi's side, and was about to wait for the next situation, so he stepped forward to save Gu Ruoxi.
But Xuanyuan Jingxi didn't make any moves, and after he finished laughing, he suddenly turned around and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, but I forgot." Didn't you say that day that you wanted your son to marry a sister-in-law for your dead eldest brother? The son sees that Miss Gu Er is a very good candidate, she is beautiful, graceful and generous, and she is also from a famous family, she is simply the best choice for Princess Min! ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall changed fiercely!
Mrs. Jinye Hou was taken aback, she didn't understand, it was okay just now, her family Xi'er and the Xu family's son-in-law were about to be finished, why did they suddenly become like this?
The Queen Mother was also taken aback, she looked at her son in disbelief and asked:
"Jing'er, I just said so much, and the feelings are all for the purpose of marrying this second miss Gu for the eldest brother?" He's just every number.
"That's right!" Xuanyuan Jingxi cut the railway.
"Then the palace thinks about it." The Queen Mother said. When he turned his gaze to Gu Ruoxi, he looked at her with some scrutiny.
"The Queen Mother! This must not be! Seeing that things had developed like this, Mrs. Jinye Hou suddenly became anxious, and opened her mouth to intercede for her daughter: "Xi'er has already chosen Xu Gongzi just now, which is also what the Queen Mother promised, how can you regret it now?" As she spoke, she knelt down with a "snort".
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was silent.
Gu Ruoxi suddenly felt cold all over her body since Xuanyuan Jingxi said that she wanted to be Princess Min. This man, who couldn't get married, asked her to be a widow! Marry a man who has long since died!
She really didn't expect it! This King Jing is even more vicious than the legend......
However, Gu Ruoxi did not regret rejecting Xuanyuan Jingxi's move just now, such a vicious and cautious man, she would rather be a widow than stay away from him!
But the widow ......
Gu Ruoxi, a girl who has never been married in modern times, suddenly wants to marry a man who has been dead for many years, and she will be alone in the empty boudoir in the future, which is different from what she thought! Gu Ruoxi's face collapsed suddenly.
Xu Xian stood there, watching Xuanyuan Jingxi say that he wanted to marry Gu Ruoxi as Princess Min, and the blood on his face faded all at once, how could such a good girl marry a dead person? She should live a sweet, rich, carefree life by her side! At the moment when the Queen Mother was thinking, Xu Xian suddenly took two steps forward and knelt down in the palace.
"Queen Mother! Just now, Miss Gu Er has been selected as the palace, and this family matter has just been approved by the Queen Mother. Now, please do what you say and give the marriage decree! I can't thank you enough! ”
Listening to Xu Xian's words, the sons and daughters of the family who had quietly stepped back a few steps away all showed mocking smiles on their faces.
Thanks to Xu Xian, he is also known as the person with the best knowledge, the best appearance, the best temperament, and the best strategy among them! The king of Jing had already said such words as 'skin kiss' in front of the palace. Why is he still obsessed? Is it interesting to marry a woman whose reputation has been ruined?
What's more, looking at the expression of the Queen Mother, she clearly changed her mind and wanted to marry the second miss of the Gu family to the late Prince Min.
Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at Xu Xian, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, wanting to rob Gu Ruoxi with him, and he didn't weigh how many catties and taels he had!
"Young Master Xu, the mourning family also wanted to marry Miss Gu Er, the two of them are of the same age, and they are also a talented and beautiful pair when they stand together." The Queen Mother said with a smile, but when she said this, she suddenly changed her words.
Said: "However, what Jing'er said also has some truth, that day in the Huguo Temple, he went into the water to save Miss Gu Er, and he did have a 'skin kinship' with him, and the mourning family gave Miss Gu Er a match, in the end, he couldn't live with the Xu family, the mourning family looked, forget about this family business!" ”
"And then? The Queen Mother, you decreed that the second lady of the Gu family should be canonized as Princess Min? When Xu Xian heard this, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he said coldly: "Although Prince Min has been dead for a long time, is it appropriate for the Queen Mother to marry a girl whose reputation was ruined by His Royal Highness King Jing to Prince Min?" ”
"Bold! What does the mourning family do, do you still use it to question? When the Queen Mother heard this, she was furious and commanded: "Someone is coming! Pull this Xu Gongzi down to the palace! Heavy scolding of the twenty boards! ”
As soon as the words landed, two guards with long knives came in from outside the hall, pulling Xu Xian to go out.
"Wait!" Gu Ruoxi hurriedly spoke: "Queen Mother, Gongzi Xu is too excited!" Little girl, please, for his sake, let him go! ”
On the side, Xuanyuan Jingxi heard Gu Ruoxi's words, and suddenly a pair of eagle eyes looked over, and in the depths of those pupils, there was a raging flame.
Damn it! She actually interceded for him! That man, she has only seen one time, where can it compare to the friendship they have had since childhood? I don't know what to think, the expression on Xuanyuan Jingxi's face instantly became hazy.
Gu Ruoxi turned a blind eye to this, for His Royal Highness King Jing, she was really fed up, is it that a person with monstrous power can interfere in other people's affairs as he wants?
She doesn't want her life to be interfered with by others at all!
The Queen Mother listened to Gu Ruoxi's plea, looked at her deeply, waved her hand and ordered those sons and daughters of the family to step back, and then said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible for the mourning family to let him go, but it's just that you have to obediently lead the order to be Princess Min, and Ye Fen guards himself, can you do it?" ”
"Miss Gu Er! Don't say yes! When Xu Xian heard this, he suddenly became anxious, his rich eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and there was a hint of eagerness in his voice: "It's just a cheap life, it's not a pity to die, if you agree, it will be ruined, but the happiness of the second half of your life!" ”
Is it so tragic? Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't help but secretly despise Xu Xian in his heart, but at this time, he finally didn't say anything.
"Xu Gongzi, there is no need to do this, everyone has a life, or, this is
My life! Gu Ruoxi smiled bitterly and said lightly.
King Jing suddenly came here, and immediately disrupted everyone's plans, at this moment, Gu Ruoxi's heart was very chaotic, and at the same time, there was an unknown resentment that kept spreading in his heart......
I don't know why, Xu Xian looked at her like this, but the distress in his heart was even worse.
"How? Say yes or no? The Queen Mother spoke to Gu Ruoxi again
Road. @—
The Gu family already has a daughter who is given to the prince, if this second daughter also marries a powerful family, then in the future, the prince will ascend the throne, and the Gu family will definitely become a generation of powerful ministers, and this is the emperor's biggest headache. The Queen Mother hadn't taken this into account either, but as soon as Xuanyuan Jingxi's words came out just now, she immediately reminded her. So, she changed her mind almost without thinking.
"Queen Mother! My family Xi'er can never be Princess Min......" Mrs. Jinye Hou was still begging bitterly there, and when she entered the palace today, she originally came happily, thinking that everything was under control, but who would have thought that it would end like this in the end?
Xi'er, why is her Xi'er so miserable?
Mrs. Jinye Hou's bitter pleading and crying expression finally angered the Queen Mother, she waved her hand to let Xu Xian escort down, and then shouted: "Mrs. Jinye Hou, Jia Xi'er's reputation has long been lost, and the mourning family is willing to choose her as Min'er's princess, which is already particularly favored!" Don't be ignorant! “
Mrs. Kazuha's cry suddenly paused.
"Looking at Kyoto, what wealthy family would want a woman with a ruined reputation? Even if you ask for it, how can you not mind it at all? The Queen Mother said slowly: "Jia Xi'er should have been waiting for death!" Marrying my family Min'er is the best choice, enjoying the treatment of the princess, driving Ming'er's mourning family and then overpowering her to Min'er's knees, she is not better than anyone in this life? ”
"But......" When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, tears suddenly fell in her eyes, and she wanted to explain, but the Queen Mother suddenly interrupted her.
"Okay, don't say anything more, it's decided!" The Queen Mother's words decided everything.
"Queen Mother......" Mrs. Jinye Hou wanted to say more, but before she opened her mouth, she met the Queen Mother's cold eyes. She was so frightened that she couldn't say anything.
Xu Xian stood there, looking at Gu Ruoxi from afar, his white and well-proportioned face showed deep despair, could it be that in this life, he really wanted to lose his relationship with Gu Ruoxi?
Gu Ruoxi didn't look at Xu Xian, she stared straight at Xuanyuan Jingxi for a moment, and then withdrew her gaze expressionlessly.
It was her negligence before, and in the future, she will never have any intersection with His Royal Highness King Jing again!
The queen mother said that she would do it, and immediately raised her pen and prepared to issue an order to canonize Gu Ruoxi as Princess Min, and the few people kneeling below showed deep despair on their faces, except for Xuanyuan Jingxi.
But at this time, there were palace people outside the palace who came in to report: "The Queen Mother!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down! ”
The Queen Mother's hand shook. The ink rendered the golden silk, and the word 'ancient' that had just been written down was not the same in an instant, she grabbed the golden silk and threw it to the ground, looked up at the door of the main hall, and said with a deep gaze: "Xuan him come in!" ”
Xuanyuan Jingxi stood there,
There was also a hint of doubt in the originally determined gaze, but it quickly disappeared.
No one noticed, just behind the screen that led to the side hall of the main hall. A pair of eyes poked out.
Lady Jinye Hou and Xu Xian are very grateful to the prince, because he came too timely! No matter what, if it can be delayed for a while, they don't want Gu Ruoxi to be Princess Namin!
After a while, Prince Xuanyuan Yan strode in from the outside, just like Xuanyuan Jingxi just now.
"Grandson to the imperial grandmother to ask for leaves! Long life for the imperial grandmother! As soon as Xuanyuan Yan entered the door, he knelt down.
"Get up! Tian'er, if you don't listen to your master's lectures, what are you doing here with your grandmother? The Queen Mother asked in surprise.
"Thank you, grandmother!" Xuanyuan Yan responded, and immediately stood up from the ground, he turned around again, and asked Xuanyuan Jingxi, who was standing aside, to say a leaf: "Little nephew, see Uncle Jingwang." ”
"No need to be polite." Xuanyuan Jing Xipi smiled and didn't laugh.
Xuanyuan Yan got up at this time, and asked the Queen Mother in a loud voice: "Imperial grandmother, grandson heard that you want to make a princess for the late Uncle Min?" There's a good candidate for my grandson! ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was taken aback: "This is something that the mourning family just decided, Tian'er." How did you find out? ”
"Back to the emperor's grandmother, you said a long time ago that you wanted to make a concubine for Uncle Min? My grandson just happened to think that there was a suitable person today, so he came over to tell his grandmother about you. Xuanyuan Yan said nonchalantly.
Mrs. Jinye Hou and Xu Xian, who were kneeling at the bottom, had a hint of joy on their faces, great, finally someone was willing to save Xi'er from fire and water!
No one noticed that there was a flash of annoyance in the eyes of a certain person hidden behind the screen!
"Oh? Got the right person? Tell me about it! "The Queen Mother had already decided to make Gu Ruoxi Princess Min, but at this moment, Xuanyuan Yan suddenly jumped out and inserted a pole, although she was unhappy in her heart. But for the sake of the other party being the crown prince of the dynasty, she patiently asked.
"Yes! Imperial Grandmother! Xuanyuan Yan said slowly: "Xu Ziyan, the daughter of Lord Xu's family in the Ministry of Rites, is as beautiful as a flower and has a gentle character, she is the best candidate for Princess Min, and I ask the imperial grandmother to think about it more!" ”
From beginning to end, he didn't glance in the direction of Gu Ruoxi. But the meaning of his words was clearly to relieve her.
This little prince doesn't remember her disrespectful hatred for him when she smashed him with a teapot?
Gu Ruoxi glanced at Xuanyuan Yan with some surprise.
There was a hint of resentment in the man's eyes behind the screen.
"Miss Xu?" When the Queen Mother heard this, her brows suddenly wrinkled tightly: "Is it the one who pushed Tong'er into the water in the Huguo Temple?" ”
"Yes! Imperial Grandmother! Xuanyuan Yan said without hesitation: "That day, she just made a mistake and accidentally pushed Tong."
Falling into the lake, in fact, her nature is not bad, let her be Princess Min, and her grandson agrees with it! "When he said this. The expression on his face was clearly a little gritted.
The Queen Mother suddenly came to her senses, and suddenly realized in her heart that the prince hated Miss Xu for pushing Tong'er into the water by mistake, so she had to be the nominal Princess Min! He loves Tong'er very much!
However, there are many ways to retaliate against Xu Ziyan, why did the prince choose this one thing?
Thinking about it, the Queen Mother couldn't help but glance in the direction of Gu Ruoxi.
"Tian'er, the Miss Xu family is good, but there is already a more suitable candidate on my grandmother's side." The Queen Mother smiled all over her face, called Xuanyuan Yan to her side, held his hand and said, "Grandmother's favorite person is the second miss of the Gu family, although Miss Xu is good, she can't compare to her in the end." ”
"Grandmother, then you mean that you must let Gu Er be my aunt?" Xuanyuan Yan's phoenix eyes were cold, and he said, "She and Tong'er look exactly the same!" When the grandson sees Tong'er in the future, isn't he very awkward? Is this my aunt? Or my crown princess? ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was stunned for a while: "Tian'er, how can you think so?" Tong'er is Tong'er, Xi'er is Xi'er, how can these two people be confused? ”
Gu Ruoxi heard Xuanyuan Yan call her 'Gu Er' on the side, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely. He just rounded up.
Xuanyuan Yan ignored her, and after listening to the Queen Mother's words, he snorted coldly: "Grandson doesn't care!" In short, a woman who looks exactly like the crown princess of this palace, this palace will never let someone else marry her! ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Ruoxi's jaw almost fell to the ground!
Xu Xian and Mrs. Jinye Hou were also stunned. So, what's going on? Just killed a His Royal Highness King Jing, how can he kill another prince now? Oh, my God!
