The queen looked at the two people in front of her, and suddenly felt a sense of weakness in her heart, with Aunt Jingyue here, no matter what she planned today, it would be impossible, thinking about it, she sighed, and smiled at Gu Ruoxi: "The girl has finally entered my Kunning Palace, how can she leave without drinking a cup of tea?" Huizhu, go pour tea! ”

She said this very smoothly, as if Liang Rujun was a palace maid who served people.

The queen didn't know what she said until she spoke, and when she raised her eyes and saw the surprised faces of Gu Ruoxi and Aunt Jingyue, she hurriedly explained: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I'm used to shouting Huizhu these two days, Mingzhu, go pour tea!" ”

"Yes! Empress! A palace maid came out and hurriedly went to pour tea.

Gu Ruoxi's lips couldn't help but show a mocking smile, Lord Huizhu, this name, I'm afraid the queen thinks about it randomly, right? It's not as good as a palace maid's name!

Liang Rujun stood there embarrassed for a while, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into!

At this moment, she suddenly felt a trace of disgust for the queen who had been currying favor with her for so long.

"Thank you Niangniang for your kindness, but this tea is still free, Miss Gu Er doesn't eat anything from other palaces except for the things in Kunning Palace." Jingyue said, blessed her body again, and did not say anything polite to the queen, she directly took Gu Ruoxi's hand and turned around and walked out.

Before the queen could speak, the two people had already walked out of the palace, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

When Liang Rujun saw this scene, she couldn't help sneering, and laughed at her for not being able to keep people! The queen of a dignified country is nothing more than that!

"What are you sneering at? Do you dare to laugh at Hongu? At this moment, the queen on the side suddenly spoke, glanced at Liang Rujun with a gloomy face, and sneered: "Do you think that if you insert a few chicken feathers, you will be a peacock?" A lowly person will always be a lowly person, and you can only be used by others in this life and marry into another country! ”

Originally, she wanted to slap Liang Rujun, but the queen looked down at the extremely sharp armor cover in her hand, and finally gave up this plan.

Liang Rujun is still useful now, if she destroys her, wouldn't it be bad?

"Niangniang, Huizhu doesn't dare." Liang Rujun instantly returned to his innocent appearance of harmless humans and animals.

The queen snorted coldly and did not answer.

……

Gu Ruoxi followed Aunt Jingyue all the way to Cining Palace, and it wasn't until she invited the Queen Mother to Ye that she let out a long breath.

But the next moment, she heard a cold snort: "It's useless!" An Aunt Yin will force you to mess up? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, Ruoxi knows her mistake!" Gu Ruoxi's heart sank, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to ask Ye.

The hall was very Ye Jing, and there was a smell of condensing incense everywhere, Gu Ruoxi lowered his head, and heard a soft cough from above him, and the Queen Mother, who was sitting on the top, finally opened her mouth again: "The dagger you hid close to you was given to you by Jing'er, right?" And you

There are not many people in the capital who know that you can heal, and today, you have exposed all of these two things in front of people, have you ever thought about the consequences of this? ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, her eyes lowered, and she said for a long time: "Back to the mother's words, the courtier, the courtier, the courtier only knows that she can't go to Kunning Palace, and she ...... in a hurry."

"Idiot!" The Queen Mother snorted heavily and said, "What is there in this palace that can hide the eyes of the mourning family?" Otherwise, how could Jingyue rush to Kunning Palace? Since the mourning family recognizes you as a daughter-in-law, then they will naturally protect you, don't you even know this? "There is no earth and there is ba.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Queen Mother has long known that the courtiers have entered the palace!" When the courtiers saw Aunt Jingyue, they were indeed very surprised, because the courtiers had given a palace maid silver and asked her to come to Cining Palace to inform the mother, but she never thought about ......it.

"That palace maid is the queen's mother!" The Queen Mother interrupted her and said, "If the mourning family hadn't sent Aunt Jingyue over today, what would you do today?" ”

Gu Ruoxi said in a low voice: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, if Aunt Jingyue didn't come to the rescue today, the courtiers would be vain on the surface and secretly try to leave......"

"It's useless, as long as you enter the Kunning Palace, you won't be able to get out." When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed and said, "Do you know that on the way back with Jingyue, the emperor also came here from the Qianqing Palace?" ”

She knew it was going to be like this! How can this emperor be haunted!

Gu Ruoxi was taken aback, but she quickly calmed down and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the courtiers can actually guess some." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at Gu Ruoxi fixedly, her eyes were very complicated.

The emperor's thoughts about Gu Ruoxi are already obvious, this must be put in the past, the queen mother will definitely not agree to her son Xuanyuan Jingxi to marry Gu Ruoxi, she will not let her son compete with the emperor for the same woman!

However, Gu Ruoxi is different, after all, this is the person Xuanyuan Jingxi has loved for many years, the Queen Mother can't imagine what kind of blow her son will suffer when she loses her, maybe it will really change from straight to curved from now on!

Therefore, this woman cannot be given to the emperor.

In order to fulfill this marriage, their mother and daughter are already gradually on the road to break with the emperor, and it is not yet known what will happen in the future.

Is it really necessary to pay such a big price for a woman?

"But your fiancée is too ......," Xiao Dongyan said, sighed regretfully, and said, "It's not as good-looking as Lord Huizhu!" ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, but he was not annoyed, but just glanced at Xiao Dongyan lightly. Said: "Each flower is just in his own eyes." ”

"Not bad!" When Xiao Dongyan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You didn't even refute it, this is so strange, it's worth celebrating!" ”

"But you let Ben first

The king sent her back and said, where are you going to drink, this king will accompany her to the end! Xuanyuan Jingxi raised his eyebrows.

"Well, it's a deal!" Xiao Dongyan smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the street in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Yipintang, the number one restaurant in Kyoto, Dayuan Kyoto, is like thunder, and you have never had the opportunity to go, but now you want to taste it with the blessing of His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

As he spoke, he smiled at Xuanyuan Jingxi and said, "See you in an hour!" ”

"Good!" Xuanyuan Jingxi responded without thinking. This person can look down on Liang Rujun and solve this big trouble, and he is happy to drink with him!

Xiao Dongyan turned his horse's head and left with his subordinates.

Xuanyuan Jingxi slowly lowered the carriage curtain, turned around and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and said with a smile: "This person can actually look at Liang Rujun, and he is also a freak." ”

"Liang Rujun is also a beauty, and it is not surprising that this sixth prince can take a fancy to her." Gu Ruoxi said lightly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this. He glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a smile and said, "Aren't you happy?" Liang Rujun, a vicious-minded woman, finally can't pose any threat anymore! Soon we won't see her again in our lives! "Tu He Feng.

"Not necessarily." Gu Ruoxi kindly reminded Xuanyuan Jingxi: "The matter of Dayuan and Dayan's affinity has been decided, and the candidate for affinity has also been decided, and both sides have no opinion on this matter." However, this does not mean that when the sixth prince leaves Beijing next month, he can take Liang Rujun away! ”

As she spoke, she broke her fingers and counted the same as Xuanyuan Jingxi: "Next, the two countries will discuss the marriage date, this time and again it will take several months, and then there will be a dowry, the speed at which the Ministry of Rites will handle these things will not be very fast, and when they are all down, Liang Rujun will marry, the fastest, it will take a year......"

"It will take a year to send her away?" When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he was stunned.

Gu Ruoxi, who reacted amusedly, smiled, and she nodded. He said very regretfully: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Jing, you still have to put up with that woman to stay in Kyoto for a year......"

"No, I need to urge the Ministry of Rites to move faster! It's best to send her away this year! Xuanyuan Jingxi frowned.

Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that the emperor promised to let the Ministry of Rites prepare my dowry?" You want to advance our wedding date, and you want the Ministry of Rites to get the dowry of Lord Huizhu in advance, are you going to force those old men of the Ministry of Rites to death? ”

"Forget it, it's still our wedding date that matters." When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he immediately retorted.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at him helplessly, smiled and shook his head: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't worry too much, by the way, wait for you to accompany the sixth prince to drink, I allow you to get him drunk, but you yourself are not allowed to drink so much." ”

"Good! The lady has an order. The little ones don't dare to disobey! Xuanyuan Jingxi quipped.

Gu Ruoxi heard this

, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red, but she glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi with a smile, and said, "Okay, don't be poor, the Hou Mansion will be here soon!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped. The coachman's voice outside also sounded respectfully: "Lord Wang, the Hou Mansion has arrived." ”

Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Jingxi, got up and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"I'll send you in." Xuanyuan Jingxi said, immediately stood up, jumped out of the carriage first, and then carefully helped Gu Ruoxi down.

"You better don't go in, as soon as my father sees you, he will pull you to drink." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "Wouldn't you break your promise to the six princes if you abandon it?" ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he smiled dotingly and said, "It's okay, I'll just go in and see him and leave, and I won't enter the door, which is not good." ”

"Okay then." When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she sighed helplessly and said.

Sure enough, Jinye Hou learned that Xuanyuan Jingxi had an agreement with the six princes, and did not pull him to drink, Weng and his son-in-law sat in the study and said a few words, and Xuanyuan Jingxi left.

As soon as he left, Jin Yehou's face became heavy, he raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and said in a low voice: "Xi'er, your mother's condition has worsened in the past few days. The doctor said that he might not live for half a year......"

"How so!" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he was immediately taken aback, that day when the Ding family saw off Gu Xiaoye at the gate of the city, the whole person was in poor spirits and had been bedridden, and then it happened that Jinye Hou expelled Gu Xiaoye from the Gu family, which was another painful blow to the Ding family. But Gu Ruoxi believes that if he can't see Gu Xiaoye come back with his own eyes, the Ding family will definitely survive!

"Alas, the illness was personally diagnosed by Imperial Physician Xu, how can it be fake?" Hearing this, Jinye Hou glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a sigh, and said, "She has always mentioned your and your sister's names these days, and if you are free, go and see her......"

Gu Ruoxi's heart didn't know how, it was also heavy, and she had mixed tastes, she nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

"You've always been so well-behaved." Jin Ye Hou looked at her and smiled slightly, with an inexplicable pathos in his expression.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Ruoxi took Amber to Jinghong Courtyard.

She hadn't been here for a long time, and standing at the door of the Storm Courtyard, Gu Ruoxi felt a trace of emotion in her heart.

In the past, she had a lot of contempt for this woman who was always calculating herself, but at this moment, all those things in the past seemed to have disappeared, and she couldn't mention the slightest hatred.

"Miss, aren't we going in?" Seeing that Gu Ruoxi didn't move, Amber on the side couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "It's early in the morning, standing outside this yard and blowing the cold wind, this is not a good choice!" ”

"Okay, let's go in." Gu Ruoxi glanced sideways at Amber and walked into the courtyard with a dead silence.

"The slave knocks on the second miss!" All kinds of maids and ladies who were busy working in the yard hurriedly invited Ye when they saw Gu Ruoxi, and everyone looked at her with a sense of hope in their eyes.

They are all new subordinates to the mansion, and they stay here on weekdays to serve a lady who has no real power in their hands and is dying on the bed, no one's mood will be much better, but Gu Ruoxi is different, she is a noble daughter who is engaged to the powerful prince of the dynasty, these servant women see her, of course, they have to curry favor.

"Get up! No need to be polite. Gu Ruoxi said lightly, raised his feet and walked to the steps of the upper room, step by step, towards the upper room with a brocade curtain embroidered with four seasons begonias.

As soon as the curtain was opened, the room was greeted by a strong smell of medicine, and because the window was not opened, it was very stuffy.

Gu Ruoxi immediately frowned, and instructed a maid who followed up, "Go and open the window!" Look at the stuffiness in this room! Good people will get sick too! ”

But the maid hesitated: "Second Miss, Madame is afraid of cold......"

"It's almost March. Do you think it's still winter? Gu Ruoxi turned her head and glanced at the girl who had just spoken, and snorted coldly: "Do as I tell you!" ”

"Yes, Second Miss." When the maid heard this, she immediately whispered a reply, and then hurriedly opened the window.

At this moment, on the bed in the back room, there was a person who let out a cold snort in a dry voice: "You are really bold, do you really think that if I die, you will be able to be lawless in this mansion?" I'm not dead yet! cough cough ......" When the words landed, it was a violent cough.

Gu Ruoxi's face changed, and he slowly raised his feet to bypass the screen at the door and walked in.

The smell of medicine in the inner room is stronger, but because the window has been opened, the smell has gradually dispersed.

But even so, the house was unbearable.

Gu Ruoxi did not go into the house. She stood at the door, and glanced at Ding lying on the bed with a calm face, she hadn't seen her for a long time, she was getting more and more haggard, the grace and luxury of Mrs. Yipinhou had long been gone, and the skin on her face was very wrinkled, looking like an old woman with goosebumps.

It's like a person is getting old as fast as he can.

Gu Xiaoye was exiled for murder, and Gu Yuetong was not favored by the prince in the palace. This blow is not a big blow for Mrs. Kazuba.

And this result has a little to do with Gu Ruoxi.

But why aren't they to blame?

Gu Ruoxi withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "No matter when." Mother always uses the greatest malice to guess the kindness of others, which is probably the reason why you and I have come to this day! ”

"You're kind enough to come and see me? Don't lie to me here! When Ding heard this, he sneered: "I see that you wish I was going to die soon, right?" "After speaking,

She called a maid in a rough voice, and sat herself up from the bed, so that she could talk to Gu Ruoxi with her chin held high.

But she was out of breath when she was so tired.

"What's in it for me if you're dead?" Gu Ruoxi asked with a calm face.

This rhetorical question immediately stunned Ding's question, but she quickly reacted and continued to sneer: "Of course there are benefits!" As she spoke, she glared at Gu Ruoxi coldly with a vicious gaze, gritted her teeth and said, "When I die, I don't have to be an eyesore in front of you anymore, and besides, don't you hate me?" ”

"Who says I hate you?" Gu Ruoxi heard this. He laughed and said, "You must know that hatred also requires a lot of strength, why should I spend energy to hate an inconsequential person?" I don't want to do thankless work. ”

"You don't even hate me?" When Ding heard this, he was greatly surprised.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, I don't hate you, because you don't matter to me." ”

Ding Shi was stung by this inconsequential sentence, she gasped and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and snorted coldly: "Do you think that now that your wings are stiff, you can leave me alone if you are engaged to His Royal Highness King Jing?" Don't you think! I have a way to make you unable to become this parent, do you believe it or not? ”

"Of course I do." Gu Ruoxi's face was calm and said, "But you paid such a big price for this, is it worth it?" ”

"Of course it's worth it! As long as I can make you a slut unable to get married, I'm willing to do anything! Even if it's death! Ding stared at Gu Ruoxi with two big eyes, and said with some pleasure in his mouth: "At least I am your nominal mother." If I die, you will have to wear linen and filial piety for me for three years! After three years, you will be an old girl, and when the time comes, I see that King Jing is still willing to marry you! ”
