Chapter 408

The situation took a turn for the worse, and in just a moment, the situation changed dramatically.

Liang Rujun, who was hiding in the teahouse box, looked at the guards of King Jing's Mansion who were guarding in front of Gu Ruoxi, and the smile on the corner of his lips became stronger and stronger.

From Zhang Yan to Wang Yanfei, and then from the blue clothes to the second lady of the ancient family, the girls that His Royal Highness King Jing likes are still very different! :

But so what? King Jing's Mansion is heavily guarded, she can't move the blue clothes for the time being, a mere unfavored second lady of the Hou Mansion, isn't she easy to deal with?

Moreover, this second lady is already a person with a marriage contract, and she will be Prince Min's princess in the future, and she has an uncle-in-law relationship with Xuanyuan Jingxi!

Could it be that His Royal Highness King Jing is like this?

Liang Rujun smiled softly and withdrew the slender jade hand holding the curtain.

Because of the intervention of the guards of the Jingwang Mansion, those few gentlemen didn't dare to entangle and retreated far away, Gu Ruoxi thanked him, and then pulled the glazed Jinse and waited for the carriage, all the way to the Jinye Mansion, from beginning to end, Xuanyuan Jingxi did not show up again.

Gu Ruoxi knew that he was trying to avoid suspicion.

It's just that why did he dodge away when Liang Rujun came over? Gu Ruoxi was puzzled.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Gu Ruoxi got off the carriage and was being helped by a few girls to walk into the Hou Mansion, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.

She turned her head in surprise and saw a man and a rider flying out of the corner of the street, dressed in a red robe. The cuffs and neckline are embroidered with gold threads, shining in the sun from afar, and after a stunned effort, the comer arrived in front of the Hou Mansion.

Only then did Gu Ruoxi see clearly that it was the prince Xuanyuan Yan.

It was too late to pretend not to see, Gu Ruoxi immediately stepped aside, bent down and asked Xuanyuan Yan for a leaf: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Xi'er! What are you doing here? It's amazing that I saw you here! Xuanyuan Yan turned over neatly, got off the horse, handed the reins to the guards on the side, turned around and strode towards Gu Ruoxi.

"Back to Your Highness, I feel better today. So he begged his father to go out for a walk, and now he has just returned from outside. Gu Ruoxi replied lightly.

Xuanyuan Yan hadn't seen Gu Ruoxi for half a month, and in the past half a month, when he thought of the scene of that day, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he never forgot the oath he made that day, but today, when Gu Ruoxi saw him, he showed this gentle gesture again, and Xuanyuan Yan was simply ecstatic.

What's more, he came to the door today because he had great news to tell her!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you go inside when you come?" At this moment, Mrs. Jinye Hou hurried over with a group of servants, and saw Gu Ruoxi standing in front of the prince. Mrs. Jinye Hou's face suddenly became ugly, but in front of Xuanyuan Yan, she needed to suppress this unhappiness as much as she could. Show it in front of everyone

A motherly appearance comes.

"Xi'er, you're back too? Come on in! β€œ

Gu Ruoxi already knew the truth, and now seeing Mrs. Jinye Hou's pretentiousness again, it was really unappetizing. She responded lightly to two sentences, and then closed her mouth, but it was difficult to calm down in her heart.

Things from the back then. It's hard to find out whose fault it is, so why does Lady Kashiba have to blame her hatred on an innocent child? Besides, over the years, Jinye Hou may not be bad for her, there are few concubines in the house, what is she not satisfied with?

The real Guruoxi is dead. Now she is just fulfilling her long-cherished wish on behalf of that poor girl.

Just when Gu Ruoxi's mind was turning back and forth, he suddenly heard Xuanyuan Yan say lightly: "Didn't you just walk here?" Just as I was about to go in, you came out, madam, Tong'er is older now? ”

"It's better." Mrs. Jinye Hou smiled, and immediately stretched out her hand to bring Xuanyuan Yan into the door, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is here to visit her, right?" Then hurry up, Tong'er is waiting in the yard! ”

"There's no rush to this." Xuanyuan Yan said. When he turned around, he saw that Gu Ruoxi was still standing on the edge of the threshold and did not move, so he immediately said strangely: "This is your home, what are you doing standing there without entering the door?" ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he reluctantly walked in from outside the door, and said from thousands of miles away: "Your Highness, since you are going to visit your sister, then go quickly!" I wasn't in good health yet, and I was afraid of infecting my sister, so I didn't go. ”

Mrs. Kazuha Hou also said on the side: "Your Highness, please come inside!" ”

Xuanyuan Jingxi shook his head: "No, I'm mainly here to visit Xi'er today." ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou's face sank suddenly, and her gaze at Gu Ruoxi was a little more fierce, but when facing the prince, she still smiled very gently: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a difference between the young and the old, not to mention that Tong'er is still your fiancΓ©e, she is still injured now, it is reasonable, you should visit her first today!" ”

"That's true." Xuanyuan Yan turned his head, and said as he walked inside: "It's just that when Xi'er goes back to Luomeiju in a while, Madame shouldn't come up with any way to confine him and not let the palace visit Xi'er, right?" ”

When Mrs. Kazuba heard this, she smiled very reluctantly: "How could it be!" Your Highness, you can rest assured......"

"That's good." Xuanyuan Yan nodded and quickened his steps: "Since that's the case, then the palace will go to visit Tong'er first." ”

"Good!" Mrs. Kazuba Hou replied with a smile.

Gu Ruoxi stood in place and didn't move, until the group walked far away, she took a step, but when she turned the patio, Mama Xuanyuan beside Mrs. Jinye Hou stood there with a murderous face, staring at her with her eyes firmly staring.

"Mama, what's wrong?" Gu Ruoxi stepped forward and said with a smile.

Xuanyuan Mama glanced at her slowly and said:

"Second Miss, Madame has ordered, please go back to Mei Curie immediately, without delay."

"I see, I didn't mean to go anywhere." Gu Ruoxi nodded, and walked in the direction of Luomei Ju with Liuli Jinse, and Xuanyuan Mama followed from a distance, until she saw them enter the garden, and she went back to report to her master with confidence.

When he returned to the house, Gu Ruoxi washed up and went directly to the east compartment with the kang burning, but he picked up a book and slowly flipped through it.

Liuli and Jinse saw that she didn't mention Xuanyuan Yan at all, so they didn't speak.

An hour passed.

Ye Jing's courtyard suddenly sounded a commotion, Liuli glanced out from the gap in the thick door curtain, turned back to Gu Ruoxi and said, "Miss, it's His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Gu Ruoxi put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at it, and said, "It's only the prince, and the lady didn't follow?" ”

"Back to Miss, Madame will naturally follow." Liuli lowered the curtain and stepped forward and said, "Miss, the slave maid will go and get your dark blue sable cloak." ”

Gu Ruoxi didn't stop it, and when Liuli took a cloak and put it on her body, she immediately took a room of maids out to welcome her.

"Xi'er see His Royal Highness the Prince, see Mother." Gu Ruoxi saluted at the comer.

"Hurry up, please!" Xuanyuan Yan smiled at Gu Ruoxi and said, "We are so familiar, do we still need so many courtesies?" It's really out of sight. With that, he walked in and sat down in the flower hall.

In a place where Xuanyuan Yan couldn't see, Mrs. Jinye Hou glared at Gu Ruoxi fiercely, but she was helpless after all.

Several people sat down in batches, and Liuli came forward to pour tea for everyone one by one.

Mrs. Kashiba Hou looked at her almost with disgust, and she didn't mean to stain the tea. It was Prince Xuanyuan Yan, as soon as Liuli finished pouring the tea, he raised his neck and drank it all, put down the tea bowl and looked at Gu Ruoxi with bright eyes: "Xi'er, I brought you good news, do you want to hear it?" ”

Gu Ruoxi looked at the joy that could not be concealed at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly struck a sudden in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "I can't guess." ”

Xuanyuan Yan glanced around very proudly, and said loudly: "Today, I once again went to ask my father to contact your marriage contract with the late Prince Min, but I didn't expect that my father thought for a moment and agreed!" "Macro to estimate garbage.

"Bang!" With a bang, the teacup that Gu Ruoxi had just picked up fell in an instant.

Mrs. Kazuba's face also changed suddenly, and in just a moment, her face flashed with surprise, anger, shock, and remorse...... With a variety of expressions, the smile couldn't be maintained at all: "Your Highness, are you joking?" The emperor's decree has been issued, how can he go back on it? Besides, the Queen Mother may not agree to this, right? ”

"You don't know." Xuanyuan Yan heard this and said triumphantly; "Originally, my father felt that it was a very cruel thing to set up a princess for a deceased prince, especially since Xi'er was still from the Hou Mansion! The palace asked him many times, and this time his father finally agreed, not only that, but he also personally went to Cining Palace to persuade the queen mother to agree to the matter. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Jinye Hou's face turned a little paler, and even the Queen Mother had already agreed!

I worried about it for so long, but I didn't expect it to come true in the end!

In an instant, Mrs. Jinye Hou felt a feeling of death in her heart, but Xuanyuan Yan couldn't understand the pain in her heart, and stabbed her top of the pain: "When the holy decree of divorce tomorrow is issued, the palace will go to beg the emperor to let Xi'er marry into the East Palace next month!" By the way, Mrs. Hou, you should also prepare a dowry for Xi'er......"

"Your Highness!" Gu Ruoxi interrupted Xuanyuan Yan loudly.

The eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Gu Ruoxi's body.

Gu Ruoxi took a deep breath, and the ninja had the urge to beat Xuanyuan Yan hard, and said in a thoughtful tone: "His Royal Highness the Prince! It's too early for you to say such things! Let's wait for the emperor's decree to come down! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! When Mrs. Kazuba heard this, she said as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "Your Highness, you better wait!" ”

"Wait, wait, wait? What's there to wait for? When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he was puzzled and said, "This is all an obvious thing!" ”

Gu Ruoxi said: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor has not issued a holy decree to push off the marriage contract for a day, then I will still be Prince Min for a day, please remember clearly!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! "Everything Mrs. Jinye Hou wanted to say was said by Gu Ruoxi, and she could only echo it on the side.

Xuanyuan Yan saw Gu Ruoxi's expression that was still rejecting thousands of miles away, and the fiery and excited mood when he first came suddenly slowly cooled down.

On the way here, he had guessed whether Gu Ruoxi was happy, excited, or tearful when he heard the news? But I never thought that Gu Ruoxi would be so unappreciative!

A rare trace of anger appeared on Xuanyuan Yan's face: "You don't want to believe Bengong's words?" ”

"Ruoxi doesn't dare." Gu Ruoxi immediately responded.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Kazuba Hou on the side immediately saw the stitches and said, "Your Highness, don't ask any more questions, isn't this an obvious thing?" ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows, didn't this person just echo what she said like an echo worm? It's really fast!

Xuanyuan Yan stared at Gu Ruoxi coldly, ignored Mrs. Jinye Hou, and said coldly: "You have to ask this palace to go to your father in person to ask for you to be accepted as a side concubine, don't you?" ”

"I've never thought of it that way, everything is your subjective speculation, Your Highness." Guruo Creek is light

Fade said.

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at her deeply, and snorted coldly: "Then you mean, you are very much in favor of the fact that this palace went to the palace to ask for you to be accepted as a side concubine in front of the emperor, is it right?" ”

"Your Highness, you're guessing again. How can I be asked of my parents when it comes to marriage? Your Highness is really good at laughing. Gu Ruoxi pushed the ball to Mrs. Kazuba Hou.

But Xuanyuan Yan didn't buy it, he looked at Gu Ruoxi coldly, and said, "Then Bengong just wants to ask you?" ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou immediately played a round on the side and said, "Your Highness, Xi'er is a girl with thin skin, how can you force her to answer this?" ”

"She can't say, then you say!" Xuanyuan Yan immediately turned his gun and pointed it at Mrs. Jinye Hou, looked at her without blinking, and said, "This palace wants Na Xi'er to be a side concubine, do you agree or disagree?" ”

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face, and she secretly hated Gu Ruoxi in her heart. I even threw this question to myself! But in front of the prince, she couldn't help but answer, especially when Xuanyuan Yan was still staring at her. She could only put away her reluctance, and said with a smiling face: "Your Highness, how can I be the master of this matter?" This matter is naturally to listen to Hou Ye. ”

As soon as the crown prince heard the name of Jinye Hou, his face sank, he wanted to include Gu Ruoxi in the East Palace, and the biggest obstacle was him! This matter is not suitable for a head-to-head confrontation with Jinhou. But he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Mrs. Jinye Hou and Gu Ruoxi, so he snorted coldly at the moment: "Madam, didn't you just say that the parents are in charge of the marriage of children?" It seems that you, a mother, have no weight! ”

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and she said with some embarrassment: "The major affairs of the family should have been decided by the Hou Ye, and the courtiers did not say anything wrong?" ”

Xuanyuan Yan looked at Mrs. Jinye Hou fixedly, and finally stopped asking with compassion. He turned his head and glanced at Gu Ruoxi fixedly, but saw the face of this woman he had been excited and happy for so long. It's back to the expressionless face of the past. Suddenly he grew bored.

At this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in Xuanyuan Yan's mind: such a wood-like beauty is not as good as Gu Yuetong's infatuation and anger, what does he like about her? Is it because she didn't like herself all along?

Xuanyuan Yan suddenly became tired, he turned his head, glanced at Mrs. Hou with an expressionless face, and said, "Mrs. Hou." Today's time to come out of the palace is not short, this is going back, you take a good look at Tong'er, if she has any discomfort, you immediately send someone into the palace to inform me. As he spoke, he turned his head and strode out.

"Yes! Your Highness! The courtiers must have brought the words! Also tell Tong'er, Your Highness, how much you love her......" Mrs. Jinye Hou chased after her with a happy face, sent Xuanyuan Yan all the way to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and watched him get on the horse and walk away, and then she took off a smile.

aside

Mama Xuanyuan stepped forward and asked with great concern, "Madam, are we still going to Luomeiju?" ”

Mrs. Kazuba Hou remembered the scene just now, and a wave of anger rose in her heart. She said angrily, "Go! Naturally, it goes! ”

"Madam, the second young lady didn't say a word beyond the rules just now, madam, even if you go, you can't convict her." At this moment, Chunxing, the maid who was standing aside, suddenly spoke: "Madame, you might as well go and see the eldest lady!" Such a big thing has happened, Madame, you should hurry up and inform the eldest lady, and then discuss the countermeasures! ”

When Xuanyuan Mama saw Chun Xing refute her words, she was immediately annoyed and angry, she was about to sarcastically say two words, but at this moment, Mrs. Jinye Hou suddenly said: "Okay! You don't have to argue anymore! Go to Begonia Garden! With that, he took the lead and walked out.

Chunxing hurriedly followed, reaching out to hold Mrs. Kazuba's arm.

Xuanyuan Mama pounced into the air, staring at Chunxing's back with a pair of eyes like sharp blades, trying to make a hole in it, until everyone left, she hurriedly chased after it.

Returning to the Begonia Courtyard for a while, Mrs. Jinye Hou had just stepped into the courtyard gate, and Ruyi hurriedly ran out of it: "Madam! You've come just in time! The eldest lady is about to send a slave to invite you! ”

"How's the young lady doing?" Mrs. Kashiba Hou turned her head to look at Ruyi as she walked inside.

Ruyi lowered his head, sighed and said, "Miss already knows about it, so ......"

Mrs. Kazuba Hou was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect her daughter to get the news so quickly! She had to hurry in and stop her from doing anything stupid.
