Just looking at the box itself, Gu Ruoxi knew that this would definitely not be a simple item. Gu Ruoxi saw it, and immediately refused again: "Jiaying, the things you sent are too valuable......"

"It's not valuable, it's just a pair of hairpins, which means that the wings are in pairs, and the husband and wife are in love." Ren Jiaying smiled: "It's just a good sign, you believe me, things will definitely not be valuable!" ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he had no choice but to take the box.

Ren Jiaying stretched out her hand with great interest and personally helped Gu Ruoxi open it.

I saw a pair of crested gold hairpins inlaid with blue gems in the box, delicate and lifelike, placed in a box covered with black velvet, it seemed that all the jewelry heads were overshadowed by it. Local name private skills.

"What a beautiful hairpin!" Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but exclaim.

Ren Jiaying smiled: "As long as you like it." ”

Amber and Liuli also gathered around to watch, and Liuli also let out a sigh of praise: "Miss, Miss Ren gave you a good look at this pair of hairpins!" ”

There was only Amber, although there was also a smile on her face, but there was a bit of inquiry in her eyes when she looked at Ren Jiaying.

After looking at the hairpin, Gu Ruoxi ordered someone to serve her in a good mood today, and specially pointed out a few plates of pastries made by Liuli, and continued to chat while drinking tea with Ren Jiaying.

"Ruoxi, my family affairs are also going to be decided." At this moment, Ren Jiaying suddenly opened her mouth in a low voice.

Gu Ruoxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Who is it? Tell me about it? ”

"It's the third prince Xuanyuan Yu." Ren Jiaying said sullenly: "This matter is also the emperor's beginning, my grandfather has no choice but to agree, but fortunately, the third prince has not yet married, he will not be like Prince Lian, play a trick in order to marry a bride, assassinate a wife." ”

"Is it Xuanyuan Yu?" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect Ren Jiaying's marriage to be talked about, and in the end, it would be his turn. She smiled and nodded: "Yes, the third prince is better than Prince Lian, at least, he is not very old, unlike Prince Lian, he is about to be established this year, right?" ”

I don't know why he, a person who has lived half his life in the palace, fell in love with Gu Yuetong?

That's a thing-for-one!

Gu Ruoxi sighed.

"Ruoxi, I don't want to marry into the royal family!" Ren Jiaying pouted and said: "Especially the prince, it's okay if he doesn't participate in the succession, if he has that thought, he may end up with a ruined family in the future, and I, I just want to live a peaceful life, I hate those bloody storms!" ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded, took her hand and said, "Why don't I think so?" But fortunately, King Jing is not qualified to participate in this, and I can be a little better than you. ”

"More than a little bit, right?" When Ren Jiaying heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "Ruoxi."

, Do you know that His Royal Highness King Jing is the dream marriage partner of many unborn women in the capital? If you can marry him, just snicker! I don't know how many people in the capital have cried now, and they hate you to the bone! ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she was a little helpless: "But this is not what I thought?" By the way, how do you know that? Did you go out and ask? ”

"Do you need to inquire about this?" When Ren Jiaying heard this, she smiled and said: "My father has such a friendship with Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, Miss Zhang Yan, who once had a marriage contract with His Royal Highness King Jing, has not forgotten King Jing, and she looks down on the husband selected by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng for her, and she commits suicide at home every day. These are all things that the Prime Minister's Mansion said to my mother. ”

Gu Ruoxi heard this, and she didn't know how to answer, Zhang Yan was the fiancée personally selected by the Queen Mother for Xuanyuan Jingxi, and now, the two of them are over, and she is the one who is about to marry Xuanyuan Jingxi, with her identity, no matter what she says now, it is very hypocritical.

Fortunately, Ren Jiaying didn't say this to embarrass Gu Ruoxi, she just said it as a joke, seeing that Gu Ruoxi didn't speak, she comforted her: "Ruoxi, you don't have to blame yourself, Miss Zhang's marriage contract with His Royal Highness King Jing was dissolved a long time ago, and you and His Royal Highness King Jing have only been engaged for a few months, this matter can't be relied on on your head, it's just that she doesn't have that blessing." ”

"Either way, that's a poor man." Gu Ruoxi sighed and said: "They are all trapped by love, no one is the winner in emotional matters, I hope she can think about it in the future, and when she gets married, she can love her husband well, or she can achieve a beautiful marriage." ”

Gu Ruoxi is not worried that Zhang Yan will not be able to get married, with her family background and character, only she chooses others, how can there be any reason for others to choose her? It's just that she doesn't want to get married.

"That's what you said." When Ren Jiaying heard this, she also sighed, she turned her head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and asked with a smile: "I was obviously talking about my marriage just now, but I didn't expect it to talk about Zhang Yan!" Let's not talk about her anymore, good Ruoxi, you give me an idea, can these three princes get married? ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "But didn't you just say that your grandfather had already promised the emperor?" It's already a foregone conclusion, isn't it? Is it too late to discuss whether that person can marry now? ”

"I just can't get over that hurdle in my heart!" Ren Jiaying frowned and said: "I have also seen the three princes, they look like dogs on weekdays, but he likes to go to the Qinglou!" What kind of singer I bought last time, it cost 900,000 taels of gold! With so much gold, it's enough to sell several Xuanyuan Yu, right? In addition, there are more than a dozen side concubines and concubines in his house......"

The more Gu Ruoxi listened, the bigger his head became, Xuanyuan Ren Jiaying said this, this Xuanyuan Yu is indeed not a very good one

Marriage candidates, at least in King Jing's mansion, not to mention concubines and concubines, there is not even a maid!

In such a comparison, Gu Ruoxi really noticed that Xuanyuan Jingxi was good, and she felt a little proud in her heart.

At this moment, Ren Jiaying vomited and concluded: "These three princes can't be married!" I don't want this big carrot! I'm going back to persuade my grandfather to push this family business! With that, she stood up.

"Don't worry, okay?" Gu Ruoxi hurriedly grabbed Ren Jiaying and persuaded: "Everything can't just look at the surface!" As for the Qinglou matter, don't take it to heart first, think about it, your grandfather, for you has already pushed down a marriage gift from the emperor, the emperor will definitely be unhappy in his heart, but he endured it, didn't take it to heart, and once again kindly pointed out the marriage for you, this time your grandfather refused, that is, to slap the emperor in the face! Will he tolerate it? ”

"If you are like this, you will bring disaster to the Ren family!" Gu Ruoxi said solemnly.

Ren Jiaying had never considered this, and when she heard this, she was slightly surprised, she raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, wanting to refute her words, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't say a word.

"I'm not trying to persuade you to admit this family business, I'm just persuading you, when you think, think more comprehensively, don't just consider yourself, the entire Ren family also has your responsibilities, right?" Gu Ruoxi said in a low voice: "The fourth prince may be imperfect, but he is not useless, I advise you to calm down and think about these issues." ”

When Ren Jiaying heard this, she looked at her fixedly, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, I remember your words, and when I go back, I will talk to my grandfather about it." ”

"That's good." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly, and said: "You were born in such a family, you should be clear in your heart, you enjoy the brocade clothes and food, correspondingly, you have to pay some price, marriage is not free, this is not your sorrow alone, it is the daughter of the noble!" ”

"Are we just succumbing to fate?" Ren Jiaying's refusal to admit defeat suddenly popped up: "Why do we have to bear this? Wouldn't it be possible to be the Lord yourself? ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she only felt inexplicable in her heart, when she was a woman in the new era, she chose to compromise rather than fight when facing fate, but Ren Jiaying, a native of ancient times, had the courage to fight! How precious this is!

Thinking back to everything before, it was Xuanyuan Jingxi who was fighting against fate and desperately trying to get closer to their relationship, and what did she do herself? first obeyed his father's orders, prepared to marry Xu Xian, and lived a dull life of husband and son, but later was disturbed by the queen mother and the emperor, and was forced to become Prince Min and Princess Min.

And in the end, all this happiness she can get is the result of Xuanyuan Jingxi's efforts alone!

At this moment, Gu Ruoxi suddenly

Blaming herself, she even felt that she was a selfish person.

"Ruoxi, you also think what I said is right, right?" At this moment, Ren Jiaying suddenly grabbed Gu Ruoxi's hand and asked her.

Gu Ruoxi suddenly reacted from contemplation and remorse, she looked at Ren Jiaying fixedly, and said in a low voice: "You have the will to fight, of course it's good, I won't say that you did wrong, I just remind you that in order to resist fate, you will pay a great price!" It is very likely that you will provoke the suspicion of the emperor for your most beloved grandfather and father, and then one day, your Ren family will disappear from this world, and no one will survive. ”

"It's so bad!" When Ren Jiaying heard this, her face turned snow-white.

Gu Ruoxi nodded, sighed, and said: "Don't think I'm alarmist, this is an era of monarchy, in the face of the emperor, everyone can only obey absolutely, no one dares to fight against that high-ranking person, otherwise, you will die a miserable death, Jiaying, your grandfather is the emperor's teacher, he must know more than me, I won't get an axe here." ”

When Ren Jiaying heard this, her face was very heavy, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Ruoxi glanced at Ren Jiaying with pity, this era is like this, fighting against the emperor, the result is a death, not only will you take your own life, but also your family, or you don't care about your own life, but what about your loved ones? What woman can really ignore it ruthlessly?

Even she, a person who crossed over halfway, has inseparable relatives, let alone Ren Jiaying?

On this day, Ren Jiaying came happily, but she went back full of worries.

Gu Ruoxi didn't know what the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ren family talked about, but a few days later, the marriage between Ren Jiaying and the third prince Xuanyuan Yu was finally decided, and the emperor personally issued a decree on the marriage.

Ren Jiaying didn't know much about Xuanyuan Yu at all, but in the end, she still agreed to this family business.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and even blamed herself, if it weren't for her words that day, Ren Jiaying couldn't have agreed so happily, right?

And Xuanyuan Yu, is he really a suitable marriage partner?

Gu Ruoxi used a very harsh attitude to think about Xuanyuan Yu's character, character, and personality, and finally came to the conclusion that even if this guy can finally get Xuanyuan Jingxi's support to become the emperor, he will not be able to match Jiaying, what a girl! Marrying Xuanyuan Yu is not a flower stuck in cow dung?

Gu Ruoxi thought about this idea for several days, but she couldn't think it through, so she simply said to Amber: "Go and ask your prince if he has been busy recently, if he is not busy, let him come over today." ”

"Miss, do you miss the prince?" Amber's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she frowned and said, "But, is it okay for the prince to come back at night?" ”

Why is that?

Gu Ruoxi was surprised.

When Amber heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "It's not because of the emperor? Every time the prince came to the Hou Mansion once, the next day he would find all kinds of reasons to let the prince go out of the city, and he couldn't come back for ten days and a half months! In order to avoid missing the prince in the next half month, Miss misses the prince and can't see anyone, so it's right to listen to her subordinates! Let the prince come at night! ”

"Now that I have a serious reputation, I'm still sneaky!" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she burst into laughter, but she also knew that what Amber said was the truth, and the closer she got to Xuanyuan Jingxi, the emperor in the palace would be unhappy, and she didn't know why he was unhappy? They'll be husband and wife soon, okay?

"Well, that's what you say!" Gu Ruoxi finally sighed and said.

Amber's eyes flashed, and her eyebrows fluttered, "That's good! The subordinates will go and inform the prince! As he spoke, without waiting for Gu Ruoxi to say anything more, he turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Gu Ruoxi stood there for a moment, thinking of Amber's eyes when she was leaving, she suddenly shivered.

Amber, she can't be doing some kind of conspiracy, right? That night, Xuanyuan Jingxi disguised himself into the Jinye Houfu and went straight to Zhiyu Courtyard.

Gu Ruoxi had been waiting for him under the lamp, and when Xuanyuan Jingxi stood outside the window, he saw such a scene, and the warm lights in the room projected the silhouette of a beautiful woman. Beautiful is beyond words.

It was a long time before he gently pushed the window open.

The window creaked softly, and Gu Ruoxi, who was reading under the lamp, immediately turned her head, and when she saw Xuanyuan Jingxi, she breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "What are you still standing there for?" Why don't you come in yet? As he spoke, he turned to Amber beside him and said, "Go open the door." ”

"Yes, miss." Amber smiled when she heard this, and immediately stepped forward to open the door.

Xuanyuan Jingxi stared at Gu Ruoxi deeply before slowly walking into the room.

Amber immediately stepped back and thoughtfully closed the door.

And in the house, Gu Ruoxi did it himself, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xuanyuan Jingxi: "It's cool at night, you still drink a little to warm your body." ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this. Deng Shi smiled, did Gu Ruoxi treat him as a delicate young lady? He's a manly man, what's wrong with blowing some wind? But this thoughtfulness, he didn't want to refuse.

"I heard that the emperor is going to marry Xuanyuan Yu?" Gu Ruoxi didn't say anything, and when Xuanyuan Jingxi drank the tea, she asked directly.

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded and said, "Yes, there is such a thing, but how do you know?" ”

Gu Ruoxi said angrily: "The emperor pointed out to Xuanyuan Yu that the object of marriage is Jiaying. She came to tell me two days ago! And the decree of marriage has been given today, can I not know? ”

"I see." Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, glanced at Gu Ruoxi's expression, and guessed: "You." It shouldn't be that I think Xuanyuan Yu is a match

I didn't take up the post of miss, so I was angry, right? ”

"Why!" Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said, "Xuanyuan Yu is not so bad, although there are groups of concubines and concubines around him, he also has his advantages. It's just that Jiaying doesn't want to marry into the royal family, especially if she marries a prince who has the heart to compete for the crown. ”

Before, although she persuaded Ren Jiaying, but when she left, Gu Ruoxi herself began to ponder in her heart, with Xuanyuan Jingxi behind her back, Xuanyuan Yu's chances of winning the throne would be greater, but there was also the possibility of failure, and she won to be the queen of the world. If she fails, she will lose her life, does she really want Ren Jiaying to compromise with such a fate?

The consequence of thinking is that even Gu Ruoxi herself began to be confused.

When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he looked at Gu Ruoxi fixedly, and said softly: "Xi'er, in the final analysis, this matter is between Xuanyuan Yu and the Ren family, and it has nothing to do with you, you really don't have to be entangled like this." No matter how Miss Ren chooses, she is going to marry into the royal family, not the third prince, it may be the fourth prince, and it may be Prince Lian, and the lady concubine is still not giving up! Who told her to have a good grandfather and a good temperament herself? Targeted by royalty. The end result is nothing more than that. ”

"Marrying Xuanyuan Yu, the result is not so bad." When Xuanyuan Jingxi said this, he couldn't help but laugh lowly: "Although he has concubines and concubines, those women don't matter at all, Ren Jiaying is a concubine when she marries, and he will definitely not treat her badly." ”
