Chapter 285: Waves
β? οΌοΌ
No one noticed that the expression on the face of the person behind the screen had suddenly appeared a trace of resentment.
"What? His Royal Highness the Prince, this is to sit back and enjoy the blessings of others, and the two sisters of the Gu family want to occupy it? Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled coldly and said. But the smile didn't reach the bottom of the eye. οΌ
Xuanyuan Yan smiled coldly, and suddenly said, "Then why is Uncle Jing here?" Do you also want to occupy the ancient two? He did not deny Xuanyuan Jingxi's words.
Xuanyuan Jing's west face suddenly flashed with a haze, and he snorted coldly: "This king is here for the eldest brother, and this second miss Gu is the best choice for Princess Min!" β
Xuanyuan Yan's voice suddenly turned cold: "Uncle Jingwang, why is you so lacking in virtue?" My Uncle Min is a god-like figure, how can he let a woman with a dirty reputation be his princess? If he had knowledge underneath, he would definitely climb out and fight hard! β
"And what? Miss Gu Er has a bad reputation, but she wants to enjoy the blessings of others, isn't this prince afraid of the ridicule of the world? Xuanyuan Jingxi unceremoniously replied to the past!
This kid is really against the sky! Dare to rob a woman with him! It's just impatient!
Xuanyuan Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Gu Er is a cautious person, this palace believes that she will never do anything excessive, Uncle Jingwang, take advantage of the danger to ruin other people's reputation, is it not ashamed at all in your heart?" β
Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, suddenly smiled, and said: "Xuanyuan Yan, every word is speaking for Miss Gu Er, have you considered your fiancΓ©e's feelings?" This king doesn't even have a princess, but he already has a fiancΓ©e, why do he still have to entangle Miss Gu Er? β
When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he immediately said: "Tong'er is a broad-minded person, how could she eat such indifferent dry vinegar?" Besides, Bengong also spoke from Tong'er's standpoint, and she definitely didn't want her sister to be widowed at a young age! β
"Tian'er! What do you mean! "As soon as the Queen Mother heard Xuanyuan Yan say the words 'keep alive and widow'. The green tendons on his forehead suddenly jumped away!
Yes, her eldest son is dead, but she wants to make a princess for Prince Min! Who's in the way? She can take a fancy to the second lady of this ancient family, that is her blessing!
Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to get angry, Xuanyuan Yan's face was calm, and he asked in a light tone: "Imperial grandmother, isn't what Sun Er said right?" β
Xuanyuan Jingxi saw that his old lady was angry, and immediately stood aside and didn't say anything again, but the expression on his face was like a smile, and occasionally, he also turned his head to look at Gu Ruoxi, but since he said that just now, Gu Ruoxi has not glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
This is even more indifferent than the attitude when we first met!
Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled evilly, but a bitterness surged up in his heart.
The Queen Mother is angry. But he was speechless, Prince Min is indeed dead, and now he will be a concubine, isn't that just a girl
Widowed at a young age? But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to say it in front of her, and to dare to do this in front of the Queen Mother, Xuanyuan Yan is the first person.
"Xuanyuan Yan! Don't you take the mourning family in your eyes? The Queen Mother was furious and said: "Even my father has no opinion on this matter, and he dares to speak like this in front of the palace!" It seems that this time. The father is negligent in disciplining! "He is looking for death.
When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he only smiled slightly, and said: "Imperial grandmother, you want to choose a princess for Uncle Min, and the grandson will never dare to say much, it's just that the second miss of the Gu family is the future sister-in-law of the grandson, please raise your noble hand and choose another one for Uncle Min!" β
All in all, he must not want this Gu Ruoxi to be Princess Min today.
The Queen Mother was even more angry in her heart! Let Gu Ruoxi be Princess Min, this is something that even the emperor has to praise! I didn't expect so many people to stop her here!
"Tian'er! The mourning family has their own decision on this matter, so let's step back first! The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, for the prince, she has a sense of exhaustion from the bottom of her heart, this child can't beat or scold. All she can do is to sue in front of the emperor, but this is never a good way, and the emperor will get tired of it one day. At that time, only she lost the most.
But after hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan refused to leave, he said to the Queen Mother: "Imperial grandmother, please also agree to what your grandson said just now." β
"What do you want to promise to mourn?" The Queen Mother said angrily.
Xuanyuan Yan replied calmly: "Back to grandmother, didn't your grandson say it just now?" Xu Ziyan, the daughter of Xu Shangshu's family, is as beautiful as a flower. Virtuous and gentle, she is the best candidate for Princess Min. β
These words are in disguise to prevent the queen mother from carrying them home, and Gu Ruoxi will be the princess of Min.
When the Queen Mother heard this, although she was angry in her heart, she also tried to pretend to be calm and said: "This matter is up to the emperor to decide!" Don't ask the mourners anymore. β
Lady Jinye Hou and Xu Xian were secretly relieved. As long as the Queen Mother did not issue the holy decree of canonizing Gu Ruoxi as the princess of the county, then everything was still possible.
But Xuanyuan Yan said: "Imperial grandmother, today my father is discussing state affairs with his ministers in the imperial study, and there is no time to deal with this matter at all, Imperial Grandmother, you should make a decision quickly!" This is the time sooner rather than later. β
"Can't the mourning family even think about it?" The Queen Mother said angrily.
"Naturally." Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan smiled slightly, and said, "Grandmother Huang can think about it slowly." β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she glared at Xuanyuan Yan fiercely, but she couldn't say anything superfluous.
Xuanyuan Yan's eyes rolled, and he saw that Gu Ruoxi was still kneeling there with Mrs. Jinye Hou. He immediately spoke: "Imperial Grandmother, let's ask Mrs. Jinye Hou and Gu'er to stand up and talk!" β
"Tong'er hasn't married yet! I am very concerned about my future mother-in-law! The Queen Mother said in a sour tone. With that, she waved her hand
Gu Ruoxi and the others got up.
Xuanyuan Yan grinned, turned his head and saw that Xu Xian had also gotten up from the ground, he frowned, and said, "Who is this son?" Do you look so raw? Stand down, too! β
Xu Xian originally wanted to introduce himself to Xuanyuan Yan, but after hearing the last sentence, he could only close his mouth, and then he looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the high platform.
"Stand down! There's not much going on here. The Queen Mother waved her hand.
Xu Xian showed a trace of disappointment on his face, he glanced at Gu Ruoxi on the side, and immediately respectfully invited Ye to retreat.
When Xu Xian retreated, Xuanyuan Jingxi and Xuanyuan Yan both breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately after, the two of them glared at each other fiercely, and then sat down separately.
"Mrs. Jinye Hou, Miss Gu Er, please sit down too!" Xuanyuan Jingxi said slowly, reversing the aggressive posture just now.
Gu Ruoxi didn't look at him, only lowered his eyes and thanked him, and then helped Mrs. Jinye Hou to sit down on the chair over there.
The Queen Mother looked at her attentive son, her brows were furrowed, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't help it when the words came to her mouth.
It seems that she must think of the identity of this Gu Ruoxi as soon as possible, and only being Princess Min is her true destination! Otherwise, all of them are jumping up and down for her......
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but glance at Gu Ruoxi more, she really couldn't understand, she was just a follower hidden behind Gu Yuetong, where did she come from such a big charm, and actually made this man enchanted to compete with herself here?
Gu Ruoxi just sat there quietly, she didn't look up at the Queen Mother, let alone know what she was thinking. It's just that what happened today is too strange, and her heart is also a mess.
There hasn't been movement behind the screen for a long time, and I don't know if the people hiding there are gone.
Xuanyuan Jingxi sat there steadily, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
He knew that the queen mother would do what he said today. This matter is the same even if it is in front of the emperor.
Gu Ruoxi must be Princess Min, and it is impossible to change it. _
And the one who took the place of his brother to marry the princess was him!
The Queen Mother has made up her mind in her heart, so she doesn't plan to say anything more, because it's useless, wait until the emperor's marriage decree is given, and see who dares to say one more word!
Everyone sat for a while, and the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Okay, the mourning family is lacking today, what is there to talk about another day!" With that, she stood up and was helped by Mama Xing beside her to the inner hall. Xuanyuan Jingxi and Xuanyuan Yan were not given any chance to speak.
The Queen Mother has already rested, so the people present can only leave, Gu Ruoxi held the hand of Mrs. Jinye Hou, and when the two of them walked out, Xuanyuan Yan's voice suddenly sounded behind them:"
Uncle Jingwang, you just want Xi'er to be your sister-in-law? β
Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this and was noncommittal.
"Uncle Jing, don't worry, this palace will never let Xi'er be Princess Min!" Seeing this, Xuanyuan Yan immediately walked a few steps, looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi with straight eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait!" I'm going to let my father issue a decree to canonize that Xu Ziyan! As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, he saw Gu Yuetong walking out of the side hall with a pale face.
Xuanyuan Yan's complexion suddenly changed slightly.
"Brother Prince, do you really like Sister Xi'er?" Gu Yuetong walked straight up to Xuanyuan Yan, bit her lip and asked.
The girl in front of her had a straight back, but her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, like a peony flower swaying in the wind. Noble and beautiful, but you can't take your eyes off it.
Xuanyuan Yan looked at Gu Yuetong like this, and there was a little unease on his face, but soon, he calmed down, stepped forward, smiled at Gu Yuetong, and said, "Tong'er, it turns out that you also entered the palace today to visit the imperial grandmother?" will also agree with my words and let that Xu Ziyan be Princess Min, right? "He died.
Gu Yuetong shook her head, and did not answer Xuanyuan Yan's question, but stubbornly asked again: "Brother Prince, do you like Sister Xi'er very much?" β
Xuanyuan Jingxi stood not far away with his hands on his chest, looking at the scene in front of him. There was a meaningful smile on his face, and then, he turned his head to Gu Ruoxi and said, "Second Miss Gu, let this king personally send your mother and daughter back!" β
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Jing, no need." Gu Ruoxi said expressionlessly: "Our mother and daughter have long legs, and we will go back by ourselves." β
Although Mrs. Jinye Hou didn't speak so coldly, she was also very alienated and indifferent: "His Royal Highness King Jing, we still have to wait for Tong'er, please take it." β
Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this. The expression on his face did not change at all, he nodded, still concerned: "Then the lady and the young lady should be careful on the way back." With that, he turned and strode out. The wind outside the hall was fierce, and the sleeves of his wide coat were bulging, and the whole person seemed to return with the wind.
This person is really handsome!
Could it be that even God can't see it, that's why he gave him such a vicious heart?
Gu Ruoxi glanced in the direction where Xuanyuan Jingxi had left at the door, and then she turned her head without hesitation.
And at this moment, Xuanyuan Yan was still hurriedly dealing with Gu Yuetong: "Sister Tong'er, it's not what you think, this palace is good to Xi'er, it's all for the sake of face!" Just imagine, in the future, I will be the princess of the main palace, if my sister becomes Princess Min and keeps the empty room alone. How can Ye Xin be in his heart? Hongu is done this for! β
"Don't bluff me with words!" Gu Yuetong didn't buy it: "That's not what I said just now!" Brother Prince, he said that a woman who is exactly like me will never be allowed to marry someone else, isn't that?
Do you want to enjoy the blessings of people? As she spoke, clear tears flowed down her eyes.
"Sister Xi'er! Don't cry! Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Yan hurriedly took out a handkerchief, hurriedly stepped forward to wipe Gu Yuetong's tears, and explained while wiping them: "This palace doesn't mean that!" There are only a few concubines in the East Palace, is it crazy for this palace to ask for two women who look exactly the same? β
"That'...... Brother of the Prince. ...... to Xi'er," Gu Yuetong asked while sobbing.
"This palace is looking at her is the face of her sister, so I want to help her, don't think too much!" Xuanyuan Yan hurriedly explained.
Gu Ruoxi pulled Mrs. Jinye Hou and gave her a look, and the two of them quietly retreated.
When they came to the outside of the hall, as soon as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Ruoxi saw that Xu Xian was actually guarding the palace gate, and when he saw them, he was overjoyed.
"Mrs. Jinye Hou, Miss Gu Er, they also came out? The Queen Mother didn't embarrass you anymore, right? β
Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi immediately nodded and said, "Young Master Xu, are you okay?" β
Xu Xian shook his head. Said: "Second Miss Gu, I'm very worried. β
Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "Master Xu, this is not the place to talk, my mother and I have to wait for my sister to come out of it, let's go back first!" β
Xu Xian heard this, he was a little reluctant, he had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to say to Gu Ruoxi, but this place is indeed not a good place to talk, there are many people in the palace, what they just say here, it may reach the ears of the Queen Mother in the next moment, Gu Ruoxi's concerns are very reasonable.
"Okay, let's go out of the palace first, and when I'm free tomorrow, I'll take my mother to the house to pay a visit." Xu Xian nodded.
Gu Ruoxi nodded, and watched Xu Xian leave with Mrs. Jinye Hou.
After a long time, Gu Yuetong and Xuanyuan Yan walked out of Cining Palace with a smile and a smile.
Gu Ruoxi and Mrs. Jinye Hou both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, sister!" When Gu Yuetong saw them, she immediately walked over to this side, and Xuanyuan Yan followed behind her.
"Tong'er, are you okay?" Mrs. Jinye Hou asked with some concern, she originally wanted to reprimand her eldest daughter for the scene in the hall just now, but if it wasn't for Gu Ruoxi giving her a look, she would have already opened her mouth to question, and in the same way, at this moment, because of the prince Xuanyuan Yan on her side, she also suppressed the depression in her heart.
How can a lady express her jealousy in Cining Palace, in front of so many palace people? And the object of her jealousy is actually her sister! Is this the bearing that a prospective crown princess should have?
All in all, Mrs. Jinye Hou was very angry with Gu Yuetong's performance today.
However, Gu Yuetong didn't notice the anger on her mother's face, she nodded, smiled at Mrs. Jinye Hou, and said, "Mother, I'm fine." β
Xuanyuan Yan said on the side: "This palace will send you out of the palace!" β
"No!" Mrs. Jinye Hou hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we can go out of the palace ourselves, so busy, let's hurry up and deal with government affairs." β
When Xuanyuan Yan heard her say this, he didn't insist anymore, only nodded and said, "This palace asked Xiao Guizi to send them out of the palace." β
When the words landed, a young eunuch stepped forward and said respectfully to Mrs. Jinye Hou and the others: "Madam, two young ladies, please." β
"Thank you, Prince." Mrs. Kazuba Hou said, and immediately led her two daughters to follow Xiao Guizi and walked out.
Xuanyuan Yan stood there, and he didn't know if his gaze was looking at Gu Yuetong or Gu Ruoxi, and it took a long time before he withdrew his gaze.
The next moment, he immediately got up and went in the other direction, which led to the imperial study.
The Queen Mother sat on the concubine couch in the inner hall of Cining Palace, listening casually to Mama Xing beside her to report the situation.
"Queen Mother, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out, he first said goodbye to Mrs. Kashiba Hou, and then left from the other direction, and the slave maid looked in that direction, it was the imperial study......"
"What about the mother and daughter of the Gu family?" The Queen Mother was a little impatient when she heard this, and immediately interrupted.
Mama Xing immediately responded: "Back to the Queen Mother, the mother and daughter of the Gu family said goodbye to the prince, and went directly out of the palace gate. β
"He takes this mother and daughter very seriously!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately snorted coldly.
Mama Xing didn't dare to answer this on the side, but said: "The eldest son of the Xu Shilang family also left, and it was Miss Gu Er who personally persuaded him to go back." β
"None of the girls of this ancient family are worry-free! Back then, I saw that the boss was more loyal and pure, and her temperament was better, so I hired her as Tian'er's crown princess, but I didn't expect that the second lady of the ancient family was not a fuel-efficient lamp! I don't know where I learned my fox charm, but so many people are dizzy! The Queen Mother said sarcastically:
