Although Xuanyuan Jingxi's gaze looked away, his heart had already flown to Gu Ruoxi. However, he controlled it very well, and the emperor and the queen mother present were not aware of it.

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, the emperor hurriedly explained: "After returning to my mother, Xi'er was invited to the palace by me. ”

"Xi'er?? When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, she glanced at the emperor fixedly, and said meaningfully: "Emperor, what did you just call her?" ”

The emperor knew that he was speechless, but he was not the kind of person who was easily flustered, so he hurriedly explained: "After returning to my mother, the second miss Gu is the daughter of Jinhou, I am also a minister and a friend with him, and his eldest daughter I am all called Tong'er, so when it is the turn of the second daughter, it is naturally no exception." ”

"Humph! Miss Gu, that's the future crown princess, your daughter-in-law, it's naturally okay to shout like this. The Queen Mother glanced at Gu Ruoxi coldly and said, "But is this second young lady also your daughter-in-law?" She seems to be ......"

"The Queen Mother! The previous marriage contract has been canceled, and I have decided to choose Xi'er as Yu'er's princess! Naturally, I can call her that! The emperor knew what the Queen Mother wanted to say, but he didn't want to hear it, so he immediately interrupted.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard this, she was taken aback, and couldn't help asking, "Emperor, what did you just say?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, quickly turned his head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi quickly.

Just now, Gu Ruoxi also raised his head, and the moment they looked at each other, both of them saw a strong sense of longing and concern in each other's eyes, and of course, there were also worries.

Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

This was the first time he really saw his thoughts from Gu Ruoxi's eyes!

Fortunately, the emperor and the empress dowager were too focused on the content of the conversation and did not notice this.

Since the emperor has already said it once, then it doesn't matter if he says it a second time, the queen mother asked, and he immediately said what he had just said again in a flat tone.

"Emperor!" When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly sank, she looked at the emperor, and said unhappily: "You did this, have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”

"What consequences?" When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said slowly: "Emperor, the matter of Miss Gu Er's marriage to Min'er last year has long been known to the world, and the people have also recognized this matter, but now you want to marry her to Yu'er!" She directly changed from the imperial sister-in-law to the daughter-in-law of her nephew! Isn't the emperor afraid that the world will laugh at him and say that the royal family has messed up the rules? ”

When the emperor heard this, he only felt that his temples were beating suddenly, he never thought that a good marriage would become so unbearable in the mouth of the queen mother! He couldn't help but explain: "The queen mother was just engaged at the beginning, and she didn't ......."

"Even if it's just engagement, she is already the daughter-in-law of the mourning family!" The Queen Mother abruptly interrupted the emperor and said solemnly: "So, even if she can't marry Min'er, she can only marry another son of the Mourning family."

！ As for Xuanyuan Yu, that's a difference in seniority at all! ”

Gu Ruoxi had been listening to the two people arguing in a daze, bowing his head and pretending to be innocent. But she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would speak so funny!

is a generational difference, and she is also grateful for what she can say!

Gu Ruoxi raised his head slightly, and glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi quickly, but saw that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all smiles that could not be hidden, and he looked confident.

"The queen mother, poor, bad?" When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Second Miss Gu is three years younger than Yu'er......"

"That mourning family doesn't care!" The Queen Mother said arrogantly: "Anyway, Miss Gu Er, she can't marry Xuanyuan Yu!" It's going to mess up generations! ”

When the emperor heard this, he had a headache, and he glanced at the queen mother very helplessly and said, "Queen Mother, the purpose of your coming here today is to ask me to marry Miss Gu Er to Jingxi?" ”

The emperor said this very helplessly.

"I didn't say that!" The Queen Mother immediately denied it, and the expression on her face was very sloppy: "Anyway, Miss Gu Er, she can't marry Min'er's nephew!"

"You can't marry my sons, so the queen mother, you tell your son, who else can she marry?" The emperor sighed heavily and said, "Or can't she marry in her life?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately said: "That's not what the mourning family meant!"

When the emperor heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn. He said solemnly: "Queen Mother, Marquis Jinye is the pillar of the dynasty, if his favorite little daughter can't get married, he can't bear it at all!" I can't allow such a thing to happen! ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother glanced at the emperor and said, "No matter who she marries, she just can't marry Xuanyuan Yu!"

These two people have their own opinions and argue endlessly, Gu Ruoxi is dizzy and drowsy when she listens, she really doesn't want to stay here anymore. Even Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't arouse her interest in the slightest here.

Xuanyuan Jingxi saw her thoughts, since he came here, he had never paid attention to anything else in his heart except Gu Ruoxi, he looked at the tiredness between her eyebrows, and couldn't help but interject: "Queen Mother, the two of you are arguing about each other, have you ever asked Miss Gu Er what she means?" What if she didn't want to marry either her son or the third prince? I remember. The soldier of the military department, Lord Xu, also came to the door a few days ago to propose his relatives......"

"What? The mourning family's favorite Jing'er, she can't even look down on it? When the Queen Mother heard this, she was furious, she couldn't tolerate others picking on her son! Even the slightest! As for the rest, she listened but didn't care at all.

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard Xuanyuan Jingxi's words: "What? Xu Shilang once went to the Hou Mansion to propose? As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Gu Ruoxi with scrutiny in his eyes.

Gu Ruoxi came into contact with the emperor's gaze, and he couldn't stand up and said, "Back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing." Xu Shilang did bring Xu Gongzi to the door to propose. ”

"Look! Isn't there one? When the queen mother heard this, she immediately put down the mustard and said: "Who just said that this girl can only be widowed except to marry the prince?"

When the emperor heard this, his face changed suddenly: "Queen Mother! People are still teenage girls, and they haven't even made a relationship, how can you say that? "Two words widow. He just couldn't tell.

After speaking, he glanced at Gu Ruoxi apologetically and said, "Ruoxi, don't mind, the queen mother didn't mean it."

Seeing the emperor like this, the Queen Mother thought about it carefully before remembering what she had just said, and she waved her hand unmindingly: "Emperor." It's worth it for a little thing! That's it, the queen mother doesn't care about her little girl, it's just that she has this family affair with the Xu family, and the emperor will respond to it if he looks at it! ”

The emperor frowned when he heard this, how could Minshu's daughter marry such a lowly family as the Xu family? He will not allow it!

already indebted to her mother. He must not owe Gu Ruoxi any more! Otherwise, Min Sook would not let him go in the spirit of heaven.

Perhaps seeing the displeasure in the emperor's eyes, Gu Ruoxi immediately explained: "Back to the emperor, the people's daughter didn't finish talking just now, just the day before yesterday, Lord Xu came to the door with his son, and he had already canceled the family business that was negotiated with our family, and the two families had not yet made up their minds, and I heard that the Xu family had already started to say goodbye to Xu Gongzi." ”

"The Xu family has withdrawn?" When the Queen Mother heard this, her voice suddenly rose to a height.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately corrected: "Queen Mother, the Xu family and our family have not exchanged Geng posts, nor have they made an order, and they have never been married, so how can they be withdrawn now?" ”

"Isn't it different?" The Queen Mother was inexplicable.

The emperor said on the side: "Queen Mother, of course it's different, this divorce is a devastating blow to a woman, so ordinary people will never withdraw from their relatives if they are engaged, and the Xu family and Jinye Hou discussed family affairs at the beginning of the initial stage, nothing was decided, and it was not considered a family at all, now you say so, but Ruoxi's identity has been pulled down, who is willing to ask for a woman who has withdrawn from her family in this world?" ”

"Isn't she?" The Queen Mother said disapprenosingly: "At the beginning, the emperor personally decreed that she should be Princess Min, and now she has retired from this family, no matter what, she can be regarded as a person who has been divorced, what if she retires one more time?" ”

Emperor: "......"

Xuanyuan Jingxi listened to it and stopped, he never expected that his mother's prejudice against Gu Ruoxi was still so much, but the reason for pursuing it was finally because of the overboard incident in the Huguo Temple, the Queen Mother decided that Gu Ruoxi was a woman with frivolous manners, and deliberately fell into the water, the purpose was to rely on her proudest youngest son, so she resolutely refused to let him marry Gu Ruoxi. Famous and handsome.

He has tried so hard for so long, but he still has little success.

Gu Ruoxi listened to the Queen Mother's words, and only felt in her heart

There were 10,000 grass and mud horses roaring past......

"By the way, why did they quit?" The Queen Mother suddenly remembered something again, so she asked.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she hurriedly raised her head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, this little girl is not very clear, but the courtier heard that Lord Xu's family has suffered several assassinations of varying degrees recently, and the family has suffered heavy casualties, so ...... The courtiers are just speculating, and they ask the mother to cut it! ”

"Assassinated?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she seemed to have heard the funniest thing, and said with a smile: "At the feet of this Son of Heaven, who dares to assassinate the ministers of the court and the central government?" As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something, nodded and said, "Oh, Lord Xu is not a big official, he actually suffered a disaster, this matter is very strange." ”

The emperor also had a solemn expression on his face, and with his sensitive and suspicious nature, he immediately guessed that this matter was strange!

Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled and didn't answer, this matter was done by Xuanyuan Yan, but he didn't say a word, but asked the emperor to check, what he found out was what, and it had nothing to do with him.

However, this matter was revealed from Gu Ruoxi's mouth, which showed that her anger towards Xuanyuan Yan was already quite hot.

"I sent someone to check, Xu Shilang is a decent person, and he never wants to offend people, can anyone in this court have trouble with him?" The emperor frowned and said, "But since the Xu family has no intention of marrying this family business, then forget it!" I'll think about it again. ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Queen Mother was very displeased, she went out in the cold wind today, the purpose was to see with her own eyes that this second Miss Gu who had escaped the fate of widowhood got married quickly, who would have thought that this would be the result in the end?

And it seems that the emperor didn't seem to dismiss the intention of marrying her to the third prince......~#

The Queen Mother frowned and thought for a moment, after all, she was still too lazy to care about this matter, and then frowned and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I patronized the matter of Miss Gujia, and look, the mourning family has even forgotten about business." As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor and said, "Since Min'er and Miss Gu Er's family affair has been canceled, then, Your Majesty, you should choose another daughter of the family to fill this shortage." ”

"What?" When the emperor heard this, he was a little dumbfounded - he thought that as long as he canceled the marriage contract, the queen mother would dispel this idea, after all, how cruel it was to force a girl like a flower to marry a dead person!

But the emperor looked at the queen mother's serious appearance, but suddenly lost the strength to persuade, and he said lightly: "Then does the queen mother have a girl she likes?" You've picked it up, just come to me and say it......"

"The mourning family naturally has a girl with picky eyes!" The Queen Mother said, but she turned her head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi and said, "Originally, the mourning family thought that the second miss of the Gu family was the most suitable candidate, but ......"

"Queen Mother!" The Emperor and Xuan

Yuan Jingxi interrupted the Queen Mother with a loud voice. The emperor said helplessly: "Queen Mother, can you stop mentioning this stubble?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi saw that he had spoken, and he was very clever and closed his mouth.

"Why, are you so afraid of mourning?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at the emperor with mockery. When Gu Ruoxi saw his appearance, she couldn't help but hook her lips.

The Queen Mother said helplessly: "Okay!" What are you pretending to be busy in front of the mourning family? Stay for a piece of pastry! ”

"Thank you!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said with a smile.

The Queen Mother didn't look at Gu Ruoxi without looking at her, she was a little relieved, she turned her head and said to the personal female official beside her: "Jingyue, you take Miss Gu to the small kitchen in the back!" ”

"Yes! Empress! Jingyue answered. Immediately said to Gu Ruoxi: "Second Miss Gu, please!" ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded and walked out of Cining Palace behind Jing Yue.

Xuanyuan Jingxi couldn't help but glance at her after all, but this glance was captured by the Queen Mother, she glanced at her son, and said meaningfully: "Jing'er, although she is no longer your brother's surviving person, but after all, she has stayed in that position, you two are Jedi and can't come together, Jing'er, do you understand?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, but he was not as obedient as he had been to the past. Instead, he was silent for a while, slowly raised his head, stared at the Queen Mother and asked, "Queen Mother, why is this?" My son likes her, why can't we get married? ”

"The mourning family said no!" As soon as the Queen Mother heard this, her face immediately changed, and she said angrily: "How can you marry your brother's woman?" ”

"She didn't marry my brother!" Xuanyuan Jingxi stiffened his neck and said, "Besides, I fished her up from the cold lake water in the first place." She has long had a skin-to-skin relationship with her son, and when the queen mother first asked the emperor to give her a marriage, she didn't think about this problem, but now she ......"

Before he finished speaking, the Queen Mother slapped him hard!

"Smack!" With a bang, the entire hall was immediately able to hear Ye Jing even hearing a needle falling on the ground.

Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, he never thought that the Queen Mother, who had always loved him, would be so cruel to him! Just because he told a fact?

The Queen Mother hit Xuanyuan Jingxi, and she didn't believe it a little, she looked at her palm, which was a little numb. Looking at the red palm print on the left side of his son's face, he was stunned for a moment.

How could she have beaten her own son? This is ridiculous!

The next moment, the Queen Mother hurriedly reached out to touch Xuanyuan Jingxi's face, and asked anxiously: "Jing'er, let the queen mother take a look, does it hurt?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi reached out and broke the palm of the Queen Mother's hand. He said in a sullen voice: "I'm fine, a slap won't kill me." ”

But it's sad.

He didn't say the second half.

Knowing the son is like the mother,

The Queen Mother naturally knew what Xuanyuan Jingxi's unspoken second half of the words meant, and she sighed and said, "Jing'er." It's really not that your mother wants to beat you, but that your child is so sad! Then Miss Er of the Gu family is not favored at all, why do you have to marry her? There are so many women in this world......"

"Yes, there are so many women in the world, but my son has a crush on her." Xuanyuan Jingxi interrupted the Queen Mother's words, and said in a sad tone: "There are so many girls, all of them are unwanted by the son, and the queen mother has to stuff them to the son, have you considered the son's own feelings?" ”

When he said that, his eyes were filled with endless sorrow.

When the Queen Mother saw this scene, she was shocked, she had never seen Xuanyuan Jingxi show such an expression in front of her!

But did she really promise him?

Gu Ruoxi, the second lady of the Gu family...... Yes.

As long as the Queen Mother thought of this, she felt that her head was very big, she glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi very helplessly, grabbed his hand and said: "Jing'er, the queen mother begs you, don't like this second Miss Gu, you like a girl again!" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at his mother's sad expression, after all, he still couldn't bear to break her heart, he nodded, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother cried with joy, but she didn't quite believe what Xuanyuan Jingxi said.

Xuanyuan Jingxi nodded and said, "Naturally, it's true, Queen Mother, since your son has promised you, then he will speak and count." ”

The Queen Mother looked at his appearance, although there was still a faint trace of worry in her heart, but it was replaced by happiness, she nodded and said, "Okay, good!" ”
