♂? ，，

In a short period of time, her mood was like a roller coaster, seven up and eight down, and it didn't fall into place for a long time.

Xuanyuan Jingxi finished eating, and the thirteen-year-old maid Ziyi waited for her to rinse her mouth. Only then did he turn around and come to the flower hall, he glanced at the blue clothes lightly, and said lazily: "Have you thought about it?" This king will go to the palace to visit the queen mother later, do you want to go with you? ”

When Lan Yi heard this, she was taken aback, she knelt there, pursed her lips tightly, but did not answer.

Xuanyuan Jingxi said: "Think clearly, if you don't go, this king can say whatever he wants." ”

There is a lot of meaning in this statement.

When Lan Yi heard this, her eyes suddenly showed a look of horror, she looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi in disbelief, and asked tremblingly, "Lord Wang,." Want to do it? ”

"What does this king want to do? Shouldn't this be asked? Xuanyuan Jingxi said lightly: "It's the two conditions just now, if you do what this king says, then, this king won't say anything, if you tell the queen mother what happened last night, then it doesn't matter, this king at most tells the queen mother that he has long been in love with Qingsong, so he took advantage of last night's ......."

"Lord Wang! Say no more! Slave promises you! Lan Yi suddenly shouted. Tears rolled down again.

Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at her and said lightly: "Remember, this is voluntary." ”

"Slaves are voluntary!" Blue Yi gritted his teeth.

"Alright, hurry up and change your clothes and wash your face! It's so ugly! Xuanyuan Jingxi said with some disgust. So saying, he turned and went out.

Lan Yi's face was red and white, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Is there anything more tragic in this world than being disgusted by one's master and the object of his affection to say such a thing?

When he arrived at Cining Palace, Lan Yi really didn't say anything to the Queen Mother.

Xuanyuan Jingxi showed a shallow smile on the side.

……

After Xuanyuan Jingxi left that night, the more Gu Ruoxi thought about it, the more angry she became, she secretly hated that she didn't kill him because she was afraid of the other party's identity, but as soon as she woke up the next morning, she found that the pimples on her arms seemed to have become smaller.

It's been so many days, no matter how many ways Gu Ruoxi has secretly racked his brains, he can't make these ugly scars better, and the ointment sent by Xuanyuan Jingxi will get better after applying it once? He took on trombone.

She looked down at her arm. His eyes were full of disbelief.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, Jin Se came in with a washbasin, saw Gu Ruoxi sitting on the bed with his head down, and immediately asked in surprise: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Gu Ruoxi subconsciously put down the sleeves on her arms, she tried her best to pretend to be calm and said, "It's nothing, Jin Se, tell Liuli and them to come in!" ”

"Yes! Miss! Jin Se was a little surprised. But I still obediently went out to call someone. After a while, several big girls from Gu Ruoxi walked in from outside and began to serve her.

"Hey, why is this window open?" Jin Se suddenly asked in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Ruoxi's gaze immediately shifted, she glanced at the window, but saw that Jin Se had already locked it up.

"It must have been windy last night, so I blew the window open." Jin Se walked back and helped Gu Ruoxi with her makeup, and said lightly: "The slave must close the window tonight." ”

Gu Ruoxi didn't speak.

After a while, Gu Ruoxi cleaned up and sat down in the western dining room, and as soon as she picked up her chopsticks, she saw someone rushing in in a hurry.

"Second Miss! Fast! Madame, please go to the front yard! There is a decree from the father-in-law in the palace! The person who came was Mama Wang next to Mrs. Jinye Hou, she was panting and entered the door. shouted anxiously at Gu Ruoxi.

Gu Ruoxi was taken aback: "The will of the palace? Her heart suddenly beat violently, and at the same time she had a bad premonition.

"Yes! Miss! Go to the front yard with the slaves! Mama Wang urged. As she spoke, she saw the full dishes on the table in front of Gu Ruoxi, and immediately said, "Second Miss, it turns out that you haven't had breakfast yet!" I'll use it when I come back! ”

Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi immediately nodded, and then stood up from the chair.

"Miss!" Jin Se immediately shouted anxiously.

Gu Ruoxi glanced back at her and said in a soft tone, "Let people bring these meals to the kitchen and heat them up!" I'll eat it when I get back. With that, she turned around and followed Mama Wang out without hesitation.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. What is she afraid of? The worst ending is to be Princess Min, not death.

Mama Wang looked at Gu Ruoxi while walking, and she found that the second lady, who only knew that she had retreated when she encountered something in the past, had changed a lot recently, and the momentum of the whole person seemed to be more calm than that of the eldest lady.

It's a pity, such a good appearance, coupled with such a temperament, no matter which powerful family the second lady marries into in the capital, it is more than enough to be a long daughter-in-law, this life is definitely rich and glorious, but now the emperor actually wants her to be Princess Min, which ruins her!

Mama Wang sighed deeply in her heart, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

When she arrived in the front yard, Gu Ruoxi saw that the Gu family had basically arrived, just waiting for her, there was an incense case in the most central place, and at this moment, a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, dressed in a blue eunuch service, stood there, saw Gu Ruoxi coming, and immediately coughed lightly and said: "Everyone in the Jinye Houfu listens to the order!" ”

Gu Ruoxi hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down with everyone.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Jinye Houfu Gu

The second lady Gu Ruoxi is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and the Queen Mother and I are very happy to hear it. Now the marriage is given to the third prince, Prince Min, and after the marriage, the marriage can be made......"

After reading such a long list of words, Gu Ruoxi really didn't understand. It's just that she still heard the words of 'now married to Prince Min, the third prince', very clearly.

Unexpectedly, the most worrying thing still appeared, Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

After the middle-aged eunuch finished reading the holy decree, he immediately shouted in a sharp duck voice: "Miss Gu Er, hurry up and receive the decree!" ”

Gu Ruoxi immediately stood up from the ground, walked in front of the eunuch, knelt down again, raised his hands to receive the holy decree, and said, "Courtier, thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

"Giggles! Miss Gu Er, now she is also a person with a marriage contract, so she can't go out to attract bees and butterflies outside in the future! The eunuch cooed and laughed, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "This is the original words of the Queen Mother, our family is just passing the word to you as it is!" ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Gu Ruoxi stretched out his hand to receive the holy decree and said calmly.

The father-in-law couldn't help but glance at Gu Ruoxi in surprise, and was a little surprised in his heart, if it was an ordinary girl, she would have already fainted from crying when she received such a holy decree, but this second miss Gu was actually like a person who had nothing to do! That's weird, isn't it?

He was surprised in his heart, but Gu Ruoxi did exactly what he said and did, and he couldn't pick any thorns at all, so he could only turn his head to Jinye and say, "Master Hou!" Congratulations! ”

My daughter will be widowed in the future, what kind of joy is this? The corners of Kashiba Houqi's mouth twitched, but he could only nod and say, "Tongxi, Tongxi." As he spoke, he gave a look to the people around him, and soon a guard came forward and stuffed a bulging purse in the eunuch's hand.

"Master Hou, our family will go back to our lives!" The eunuch took his things and was finally ready to leave, but Jinye Hou couldn't keep it even after repeated attempts.

As soon as he left, the Gu family immediately fell into a gloomy cloud.

"Master Hou, I didn't expect the emperor to really be so ruthless to us......" Mrs. Kazuba Hou said with tears in her eyes, she washed her face with tears all day long, her face was already haggard, but she still held on to the present.

I thought there was hope, but this holy decree cut off the luck in everyone's hearts.

Gu Yuetong has not spoken since she heard the content of this holy decree, at this moment, seeing her parents so sad, she couldn't help but look back at Gu Ruoxi, for a moment,

She froze.

Gu Ruoxi sat there, the expression on her face was faint, as if she didn't take the holy decree in her hand to heart at all, that kind of light and breezy appearance almost made Gu Yuetong stunned.

Ask. If she were to change places today, would she be as calm as Gu Ruoxi?

Gu Yuetong thought in her heart for a while, and then began to sigh,

She knew she couldn't.

"Father, mother, my daughter is only twelve years old this year, and there are still three years before Jilu, so long in between, maybe what kind of changes will happen, we are sad now, it's too early." Gu Ruoxi spoke slowly, she wanted to persuade Mrs. Jinye Hou not to cry, but she couldn't find any useful words to say. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that only by saying this could I make it feel better.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Kazuba heard this, her crying suddenly stopped.

Just when Gu Ruoxi was secretly relieved in her heart, she suddenly burst into tears, crying extremely sadly.

"Mother? What do you think? My daughter didn't say the wrong thing, right? Gu Ruoxi was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward, and the other people in the house also gathered around. kept persuading Mrs. Jinye Hou, and after a while, she calmed down, but she looked at Gu Ruoxi with those tearful eyes and said, "My hard-working daughter! fell into the water and was rescued by King Jing, and now he has been married by the Queen Mother to the late Prince Min, and in this life, they are inseparable from these two people! Even if something happens, what can happen? Who else in this capital has the courage to marry? ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she smiled reluctantly and said, "Mother, things are already like this, what's the use of you being sad?" Even if my daughter has no bright future, she still has a mother who loves me, a father, an older brother, and a sister who cares about me. If even we fall ill with sadness, then what do I have? He said. Tears welled up in her face.

"Xi'er! Don't cry! When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, the pain in her heart became heavier and heavier, but in front of Gu Ruoxi, she couldn't hold back her tears, and turned to Ye to comfort her daughter.

Jin Yehou saw Gu Ruoxi so sensible on the side, and his heart was relieved and sad, he was a big man, and he would not cry in public. But the bitterness in my heart is no less than that of my wife. And when Gu Yuetong and Gu Xiaoye stood on the side, listening to Gu Ruoxi's sentence 'If even everyone is sad and sick, then what else do I have', their hearts were also full of feelings.

By the time Ye finished soothing everyone, it was already almost noon, but Gu Ruoxi hadn't even eaten breakfast, and she didn't have the heart to eat.

Jin Se couldn't help but say on the side: "Miss, you should take the time to eat some meals!" Otherwise, if you continue to be hungry like this, your body will not be able to stand it! ”

Only then did everyone know that Gu Ruoxi hadn't even eaten breakfast, and she couldn't allow her to refuse, so Mrs. Jinye Hou told Mama Wang to pass the meal and put it in the Jinghong Courtyard.

Dozens of maids rushed in, and it didn't take long for them. The sumptuous meal was set on the table, and everyone sat down at the table with Gu Ruoxi, but everyone had no appetite. Gu Ruoxi didn't feel so sad in her heart, if she didn't want to marry Prince Namin, she didn't want to stay in that cold palace, there were many ways. She didn't care about it at all, and besides, she was hungry.

"Mother, don't be sad, if there is anything, let's talk about it after eating." Gu Ruoxi faced the brocade leaf waiter

When people persuaded her, she knew that only by persuading her mother could others follow her and eat some.

Mrs. Jinye Hou was about to answer, but a maid came in outside to report: "Master Hou, madam, Xu Gongzi is asking to see outside!" ”

Everyone was taken aback.

"Take him to the study in the front yard." Kazuba Hou commanded.

"Yes, Master Hou!" The maid answered, and immediately withdrew.

At this moment, everyone's faces were full of doubts and curiosity. Gu Yuetong couldn't help but glance at Gu Ruoxi secretly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Jin Yehou and his wife glanced at each other, also turned their heads to look at Gu Ruoxi, stood up and said, "Let's eat first!" I'll go out and have a look. With that, he turned and left.

Gu Ruoxi lowered his head to eat the vegetables, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

Mrs. Jinye Hou looked at her expression and asked cautiously, "Xi'er, ...... Gongzi Xu?"

"He's a good guy, it's a pity that we don't have fate to be together in this life." Gu Ruoxi raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's get together and disperse!" "He's dead.

"Really?" Before Mrs. Jinye Hou could answer, Gu Yuetong on the side interjected and asked.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "It's not my beloved, I don't want to think about it." ”

She and Xu Xian have only met once or twice, that night in the study, she can see that he is a pure heart, and he is also a promise-keeping, if she marries him, she will be able to live a carefree and warm life in this life, but unfortunately, they can't become husband and wife.

In that case, let's forget about each other!

Mrs. Jinye Hou sat on the side, and was taken aback when she saw Gu Ruoxi say such a thing so easily. This daughter is open-minded, as if she doesn't care about anything anymore......

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

On the entire dinner table, only Gu Ruoxi finished the meal without distraction.

After the meal, the big girl next to Mrs. Jinye Hou came up with tea, and everyone sat there and drank it slowly, Gu Yuetong's eyes frequently looked at the screen at the door, and she took it back again and again full of disappointment.

Gu Ruoxi, on the contrary of her, almost never looked at the screen.

Such a big thing happened at home, and Mrs. Jinye Hou had no intention of urging Gu Yuetong to do her homework, and her heart was occupied by the fact that Xu Gongzi came to do it.

Time passed slowly, and at the door of Ye Jing, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, from far to near.

Except for Gu Ruoxi, everyone's eyes turned to the door. Everyone's eyes showed eagerness.

After a while, a small servant walked in from outside.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on his face, and the little guy was suddenly startled, but his years of life as a small guy had already taught him to be calm, and he invited everyone above

After Ye, he said respectfully: "Madam, Master Hou asked the slave maid to come over and invite Miss Gu Er to go to the study." ”

"Master Hou called Xi'er over?" When Mrs. Kazuba Hou heard this, she was taken aback, but soon, she calmed down, and from the moment Hou Ye went to the study, she had always had such a guess in her heart.

Xu Xian came to the Hou Mansion at this time, not to see Gu Ruoxi, who else could there be?

The little guy nodded suddenly: "Exactly." ”

Mrs. Kashiba suddenly turned her head to look at her little daughter, who was sitting there calmly, and wondered in her heart whether to call her over or not.

Xu Xian is a foreign man, Gu Ruoxi has a marriage contract now, how can he meet him?

didn't see it, but Hou Ye spoke......

Just when Mrs. Jinye Hou was embarrassed, Gu Ruoxi suddenly opened her mouth lightly: "Has Gongzi Xu left?" ”

"Back to the second miss, Gongzi Xu is still in the Hou Ye's study." The little guy replied respectfully.

Gu Ruoxi immediately thought about it and said: "Since this is the case, then tell my father, just say that there is a foreign man present, and it is inconvenient for me to go over, and when Xu Gongzi leaves, I will naturally go to see him." ”

"Miss! Do you really want to do that? That little guy can be regarded as the old man next to Jinye Hou, he naturally knows what Xu Gongzi came here for today, but now when he heard Gu Ruoxi say this sentence without hesitation, he was suddenly taken aback.

"Let's go talk back!" Gu Ruoxi immediately said lightly.

The little guy couldn't help but bow his head and touch his nose, answered yes, and then retreated.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Jinye Hou couldn't help but ask Gu Ruoxi, "Xi'er, why don't you go to see Gongzi Xu?" ”

Gu Ruoxi glanced at her mother. replied lightly: "Mother, then do you think your daughter should go to see him?" There was no marriage contract before, and everyone was with him, so it didn't hurt for his daughter to see him, but now, the queen mother's marriage decree has come down, and the daughter will go to see him again, which is not abiding by women's morals! ”
