The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, your marriage is about to be decided, when Ming'er Jing'er enters the palace, let him accompany you back to have a look, okay?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Gu Ruoxi hurriedly said.

The Queen Mother smiled at her and said, "The mourning family wants to eat the double skin milk you made, they can't make that taste, it's still your appetite for the mourning family." ”

"The courtier, let's do it." Gu Ruoxi hurriedly responded.

"Aren't you tired?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she shook her head with a smile and said: "Don't worry, you have visited the Imperial Garden, you must be a little tired at this time, go back and rest first, and wait for noon, you will do it again, it just so happens that the mourning family is also a little hungry at that time." ”

"Yes, sissy." Gu Ruoxi hurriedly responded, and after saying that, he turned around and retreated.

Half an hour later, Jing Yue personally went to Kunning Palace to deliver the tonic and came back, and saw the Queen Mother leaning on the pillow alone with her eyes squinted, not knowing what she was thinking, the palace people who were waiting around her were all sent away, only the incense in the incense burner was still burning slowly.

"Queen Mother!" Jingyue called in a low voice.

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that it was Jingyue, she slowly sat up and said, "Are you back?" Can the emperor be in Kunning Palace? ”

"Back to the mother, when the slave went, I didn't see the emperor, presumably, he was already gone." Jingyue replied in a low voice.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help sighing. Joy low-skilled.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Jingyue couldn't help asking.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, sighed and said, "The mourning family can't say clearly, what do you think of this girl Xi'er?" ”

When Jing Yue heard this, she saw that the expression on her face was quite calm, and when she talked about Gu Ruoxi, she didn't have the slightest expression of disgust, so she immediately had the courage to explain: "Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid feels that Miss Gu Er is humble and polite, generous, and has a gentle temperament, and she is indeed a rare woman. ”

"Yes! She is rare, Jing'er looks down on her, no one looks down on her! When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "After saying those words in front of the emperor before, the mourning family really regarded her as their daughter-in-law, but now it seems that something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" When Jing Yue heard this, she raised her eyebrows.

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Don't you think what happened in the Changqiu Palace that day is a little weird? No matter how the emperor explains, Bengong always feels that that matter is inseparable from him! An emperor actually asked the daughter of a foreign minister to go to the concubine's bedroom to change clothes! What if he broke in when Xi'er was changing clothes? ”

Jingyue was stunned.

The Queen Mother continued to say quietly: "If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese Palace listened to Jing'er's instructions and personally went to the Qianqing Palace to intercept it, this situation is very likely to happen!" ”

"So, mother, what should we do?" Jingyue only knows how to do things according to the rules,

I never thought that a thing that had already passed would have so many reasons in it, and my face was a little pale when I was next.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and sighed: "Look at you, you're scared!" Didn't that happen! ”

"But today, the emperor suddenly appeared in the imperial garden...... Jingyue frowned, but she was interrupted by the queen mother before she could finish her words.

"He didn't show up there for nothing." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "It was the crown princess who sent someone to send him a message. Our emperor, the mourning family is more and more incomprehensible, he is not spoiled by so many concubines in the harem, but he is eyeing Xi'er! Can't he see Jing'er marry a wife? ”

It was about the emperor, and Jingyue didn't dare to answer casually.

The Queen Mother said for a while, and sighed: "This palace is also to blame for today's incident, if I hadn't let Xi'er go out with the crown princess, such a thing would not have happened." ”

"Niangniang, you don't have to blame yourself, after all, the crown princess would secretly inform the emperor, this is something that no one expected."

"Humph! Doesn't her mind know yet? When the queen mother heard this, she immediately sneered: "She just wants to curry favor with the emperor and let the emperor persuade the prince to go to her often!" For her own selfish desires, she did not hesitate to take her own sister, our crown princess, but she is really a femme fatale! ”

"Niangniang, what do you want to do?" Hearing this, Jingyue hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"If you dare to use this palace, you will naturally be punished." The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Otherwise, what is the face of the mourning family to see Jing'er?" ”

"That's what the mother said." Jing Yue hurriedly agreed.

"Let Xi'er go back by herself, the mourning family is not at ease, the emperor dares to do it in the palace, and he will be afraid of outside the palace?" The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Only when Jing'er sends her, can the palace rest assured, this marriage cannot be delayed any longer!" ”

"Niangniang, are you planning to ......" Jingyue was a little surprised when she heard this.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Not bad!" After the fifth day of the first lunar month, if the emperor still does not give a decree on marriage, then the mourning family will personally make an edict! What he had obviously promised before, the mourning family wanted to see what tricks he could play! ”

At the same time, the emperor was sitting in the imperial study, also thinking carefully about this problem.

If the Queen Mother leaves him alone and makes an order directly, what should he do?

No matter what you calculate, this good thing will never fall on the emperor himself.

Naturally, he was not reconciled!

But with the Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Jingxi here, even if he is unwilling, he has no way.

The emperor's eyes sank, and he couldn't think of a good way. At this time, he missed Concubine Jing, because in this big palace, only Concubine Jing knew all this, and was willing to give advice to the emperor.

However, Concubine Jing is dead. If it weren't for the Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Jingxi to stir up trouble that day, Concubine Jing would not have died, but would have been promoted to Concubine Jing!

As soon as he thought of these things, the emperor became very agitated, and he could not calm down anyway, and several whole hours passed. He didn't do anything.

Gonggong Gao stood aside, and when he saw the emperor like this, he didn't dare to step forward to disturb him.

But even so, the emperor could not forget him.

"Gao Yu, tell me, the day after tomorrow is the fifth day of the first lunar month, should I give this holy decree of marriage?"

When Gonggong Gao heard this, his expression turned grim, and he hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, how can you regret what you promised in person?" ”

"You mean that this decree must be given?" When the emperor heard this, his face immediately sank.

Gao Gonggong's heart sank. Busy said: "Your Majesty, although this marriage decree has been issued, it is not that Miss Gu Er will marry immediately!" After this marriage is given, the Hou Mansion can start preparing for marriage, which will take at least a year, if there is something else delayed in the middle, then ......"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up: "You are right! How did I forget this? As soon as Gu Ruoxi turned around, she saw Jinye Hou walking out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, and a smile immediately appeared on her face: "Dad! ”

Liuli and Amber followed behind Jinye Hou, but at this moment, they hurriedly stepped forward and personally helped Gu Ruoxi get out of the carriage.

Xuanyuan Jingxi personally watched from the sidelines, eager to do it himself. I was afraid that a few maids would accidentally fall on his fiancée.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, thank you very much for bothering you to send your little girl back today." Jin Ye Hou greeted him, smiled at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and said.

"Father-in-law!" Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly, stepped forward and saluted, "This is as it should be!" ”

Jinye Hou didn't expect him to dare to shout the word father-in-law in this public, and he was taken aback, but he thought that the emperor's holy decree would be issued soon, and this family matter would soon be exhausted in the world, and it was nothing for him to accept this gift, so he immediately laughed and said, "Please come!" ”

The onlookers were in an uproar: "Oh my God! The second lady of the Hou Mansion picked and chosen, but in the end she was going to marry His Royal Highness King Jing! That's lucky, right? ”

"That's it! She is a person who has withdrawn from marriage three times and twice, and she still wants to marry King Jing. It's really a high incense burned in the last life! ”

"This Second Miss Gu, wasn't it decided that it was Prince Min and Princess Min at the beginning? Now I'm going to marry King Jing again, oh my God! The royal family doesn't like this mess! ”

"What's so messing around with this? Prince Min's marriage has long been canceled! ”

"It's just that poor Xu Xian Xu Gongzi, for the sake of the second miss of the ancient family, he did not hesitate to force each other to die, so he can be regarded as pushing off the marriage with his cousin's family, but in the blink of an eye, this young lady is going to marry someone else, what a trick!"

Xuanyuan Jingxi, who had already walked up the steps, heard these discussions. His face sank.

Xu Xian is not married yet? Is he still dreaming of marrying Xi'er one day? What wishful thinking!

Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't help but snort coldly, he was very unhappy that other men were still thinking about Gu Ruoxi.

At this moment, Jinye Hou turned his head and glanced at him with a smile. Said: "King Jing, please come in!" I have prepared your favorite Wuyi Mountain big red robe, and I have prepared a lot of good wine, wait for our Weng and son-in-law, but you have to have a good drink! ”

"Good! The father-in-law has an order, and the son-in-law must obey! Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled and said.

The last thing the people heard was these few words, and soon, the gate of the Hou Mansion closed heavily from the inside, blocking the prying eyes of the people outside.

Since Ding was still ill and it was inconvenient to visit, Jinye Hou directly took Xuanyuan Jingxi to his study, and Gu Ruoxi went back to Zhiyuan Courtyard to change his clothes first.

She hadn't been back for three days, and Glass Amber and the others thought about her very much. As soon as they entered the door, everyone took Gu Ruoxi's hand and asked.

"Miss! Have you encountered anything in the palace in the past three days? It's lively in our house! ”

"I just saw that the prince called his father-in-law in public, is your family matter about to be decided?"

"Miss, after you entered the palace, in which palace did you rest?"

With so many questions coming over, Gu Ruoxi was dizzy, she couldn't remember it at all, she said helplessly: "I'm back well, what else can I do?" Okay, I'll talk about the details when I get back in the evening, and now, you tell me, did that plan succeed? "Die with abundant peasants.

"Miss, you underestimate me too much, don't you? It's just dealing with a prodigal son in a flower, but it's just a piece of cake! Amber winked and laughed.

"Didn't show any flaws, did you?" Gu Ruoxi raised her eyes and asked.

"How is that possible?" Amber smiled smugly and turned her head to look at Gu Ruoxi. teased: "Miss, what happened that night is clearly known to the prince, he didn't tell you?" ”

Gu Ruoxi glanced at her and said, "That's the Queen Mother's bedroom!" Do you think we're going to talk about this kind of thing there? ”

If the Queen Mother knew that she was plotting to harm her brother behind her back, what would the Queen Mother think? She didn't know the grievances and grievances between herself and Gu Xiaoye!

"It's the negligence of the subordinates!" Amber heard this, grinned, and said, "Those things are very long, and they can't be explained clearly in a few words, so Miss should hurry up and go to the study!" When I come back in the evening, my subordinates will tell you in detail about the situation of that day. ”

These words are exactly the same as what Gu Ruoxi said just now.

"No, I just want to know, what kind of Gu Xiaoye was beaten by Xie Yu?" Gu Ruoxi asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Amber raised her eyebrows and said: "Xie Yu's methods are quite amazing, the prince is a waste now, and he will never play again in the future."

I can't get a woman. ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he was immediately taken aback: "Really? ”

"Xie Yu crippled him, and took him to a courtyard in the south of the city, and he ordered someone to rape and kill several women, all of whom were thrown into the house, and when the Hou Ye found the prince and brought him back, he immediately invited the imperial doctor to take his pulse, which was said by the imperial doctor." Amber smiled lightly and said.

Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "Although this deviates from the expected result, it is not bad!" In his life, he doesn't know how many women he has played with, and now he is disabled, and he deserves it! As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Amber and said, "Okay, take me to change my clothes, and I'll go to the study later." ”

"Yes, Miss!" Amber glass and others all smiled in response.

However, when Gu Ruoxi finished dressing, Jinye Hou came over with Xuanyuan Jingxi in person.

"Xi'er, why don't you use it in your yard for lunch first, do you have any opinions?" Jinye Hou said with a smile.

Gu Ruoxi raised his eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and smiled very happily: "Of course I have no opinion." ”

"Miss, the slave will tell the kitchen to prepare lunch quickly." Liuli responded with a smile, and immediately turned around and retreated.

Gu Ruoxi nodded, and saw that Jinye Hou and Xuanyuan Jingxi had already sat down at the round table in the room, she walked over and said, "Dad, my daughter heard that her mother is back and wants to go over to see her." ”

"Xi'er, forget it, your mother has been in a bad mood lately, let's talk about it in a few days!" As soon as she heard her daughter mention Ding, Jinye Hou's face sank suddenly, and his eyes were full of bitterness.

"Dad, my daughter listens to you." When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately stopped talking, walked over and sat down on a chair.

There was obviously unbearable grief in Jinye Hou's expression, but with Xuanyuan Jingxi there, he couldn't hold back.

At this moment, looking at the grief in his father's eyes, Gu Ruoxi suddenly regretted it in his heart.

If she had known that teaching Gu Xiaoye a lesson would make her father so sad, she wouldn't have done that in the first place!

Gu Ruoxi was regretting it, and saw Xuanyuan Jingxi hand her a Ye Wei look.

All of this is Gu Xiaoye's own fault, what does it have to do with you?

She knew that Xuanyuan Jingxi wanted to express this to her, but Gu Ruoxi still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

At this moment, Jin Yehou suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, Xi'er, don't grieve anymore!" The marriage of the two of you is finally going to be finalized, this is a happy event, how can everyone be sad? Come! Drink tea! ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi hurriedly picked up the tea bowl in his hand and drank it all.

"You two big men, how can you drink tea? Amber, you go get the wine! Gu Ruoxi hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, drink tea!" If you drink, wait until your house smells suffocating, can you stand it? ”

"Hahaha!

Or you kid is considerate! Well thought out! When Jinye Hou heard this, he cast an approving glance at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and drank it all when he picked up the teacup.

Gu Ruoxi looked at this scene, although helpless, but also happy. Jinye Hou is old, drinking more alcohol is definitely not good for his health, Xuanyuan Jingxi must have taken this into account before saying so. However, the excuse he used was also coincidental, so that Jinye Hou not only couldn't refuse, but also praised him more.

This man will not suffer at any time. Gu Ruoxi thought helplessly in her heart.

Everyone didn't say a few words, Amber and the others rushed in, and brought all kinds of dishes to the table, and when the tea passed three rounds and the dishes were tasteless, Jinye Hou said with some emotion: "King Jing, I really didn't expect that the treasure I held in the palm of my hand would finally be handed over to you." ”

"So that's fate." Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly and said, "I said at the beginning that I wanted to marry Xi'er, but at that time, there were too many objections. ”

"That's right! Your kid still had a marriage contract with Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's daughter at that time! Jinye Hou smiled and said.

"Father-in-law, it's all in the past, don't mention it." Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled slightly and said.

"Are you still shy?" When Jin Ye Hou saw his appearance, he couldn't help but laugh.

After dinner, Jin Yehou went to the study, leaving Xuanyuan Jingxi here to talk to Gu Ruoxi.

Amber and the others wanted to come up, but Xuanyuan Jingxi handed over a look, and they all slipped down quietly.

"Jingxi, did you just hear those discussions at the door?" At this moment, Gu Ruoxi opened his mouth and asked.

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at him, sighed and said: "Xu Gongzi is also a tendon, I just can't figure it out, it's just that, I've already told him what to say, let him do everything!" ”

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he looked at her fixedly and asked, "Do you really think so?" ”

"yes!" Gu Ruoxi raised her head and glanced at him inexplicably, and said in a deep voice.
