"Mother! Why didn't you say that Gao Gonggong didn't invite me into the palace, but invited my sister? Did he make a mistake? Until now, she still had illusions, thinking that Gu Ruoxi could be summoned into the palace, and it was entirely through her power.

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she frowned: "Tong'er, that Gao Gonggong mentioned plum blossoms, and only Luomei Curie is in our mansion, and it can't be wrong, the person the emperor wants to summon today is her." Not you. ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she was stunned. It took a long time before he said: "Then, why did the emperor summon her into the palace?" Is it, did he promise her to be the side concubine of the prince's brother, so the emperor wants to see her? At the end, there was a hint of trepidation in her expression.

Lady Jinye Hou and Gu Xiaoye were silent when they heard this, because they also guessed in their hearts.

At this moment, Mrs. Jinye Hou suddenly turned her head, stared at Xuanyuan Mama who had been standing not far away, and said, "You just got close, have you ever heard what Grandpa Gao and Master Hou said?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the room shifted to Xuanyuan's face.

Gu Yuetong couldn't wait to ask: "Mama Xuanyuan, say it quickly!" ”

Xuanyuan Mama looked at a few masters in the room, and finally said slowly: "Madam, although the slave and maid are close, they are relatively closer than other maids and servants, and besides, the Hou Ye and Xuanyuan Gonggong both lowered their voices, so the slave and maid only vaguely heard words such as 'congratulations' and 'great joy', and nothing else was heard." ”

As soon as Gu Yuetong heard these two words, the expression on her face changed again and again, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, "My guess is right!" The emperor just agreed to let Gu Ruoxi also marry the prince as a side concubine! Otherwise, the high father-in-law would not have said such a thing as great joy! ”

"What Tong'er said makes a lot of sense." After listening to this, Gu Xiaoye immediately responded.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jinye Hou frowned and pondered for a while before she suddenly looked up at Gu Yuetong and said solemnly: "Tong'er, do you remember the things that my mother explained to you before?" ”◎

Gu Yuetong was still immersed in great sadness, but when she heard her mother's words, a strange feeling suddenly surged up in her heart, and on that day, every word that the mother and daughter talked about appeared in her mind, and she nodded ghostly and said, "Mother, I remember!" ”

"That's good!" Mrs. Jinye Hou immediately said: "This day has finally come, Ruoxi, she still has to serve you after all, Tong'er, are you ready to fight?" ”

But at this time, Gu Yuetong's heart was very chaotic, she had no way to think about what was going on, and she couldn't answer her mother's question.

"Tong'er! Mrs. Jinye Hou said sharply: "Mother has taught you so carefully, and you don't even say a word?" “

This voice startled Gu Yuetong, she raised her head blankly and glanced at her mother, and muttered: "

Mother, I understand what you said, but is Ruoxi really going to marry the prince? ”

Although her mother said that she was out of the blue, she actually didn't want Gu Yuetong to marry the prince in her heart. Not at all!

When Mrs. Kazuba Hou saw her dejected appearance, a fire finally slowly rose in her heart, and she didn't have it in front of her angry husband! However, in front of her dearest daughter, she finally became angry. "Mother told you! Ruoxi, whether she marries the prince or not, you are the crown princess, you just need to do your own and do what your mother tells you to do! What exactly are you worried about? ”

Listening to his mother's fierce words, Gu Yuetong's heart was shocked!

Gu Xiao Yezi couldn't bear to watch it from the side, and immediately opened her mouth to persuade: "Mother." Sister, she has always refused to believe that the emperor would really agree to let Ruoxi be the prince's side concubine, in fact, even the two of us were taken aback, didn't we? Mother, why are you so demanding of Tong'er? We are just bystanders and can't react, how can my sister, the authorities, accept this matter so easily at once? ”

"Mother, you should give her some more time to think about it!" Gu Xiaoye is so Taoist.

When Mrs. Kashiba Hou heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, could it really be that she reacted too much? But when Gonggong Gao read out the Holy Decree, although Gu Ruoxi was also surprised, he was not flustered at all, and his grace and bearing were by no means comparable to Gu Yuetong. She just wanted Tong'er to behave better. Is this also wrong?

"That's it! Mother don't say anything, Tong'er, think about it carefully! Mrs. Jinye Hou sighed deeply, turned her head to stare at Gu Yuetong and said, "No matter what, you can't have any doubts about the emperor's holy decree, even if Ruoxi really becomes the prince's side concubine!" That's what the emperor personally promised! All you can do is smile at each other. Blessings, you know! ”

"Mother, this ...... It's so hard! When Gu Yuetong heard this, she knew that her mother was right, but she was still in pain in her heart, and she couldn't answer at all.

When Mrs. Kazuba Hou saw the pain in her eyes, her heart became sad, and she finally stopped saying nothing.

……

Gu Ruoxi sat in the sedan chair, quietly counting the time, she knew that in a quarter of an hour, she would arrive at the palace.

It seems like it's been a year since the last time I entered the palace. She also changed from the panic and overwhelmed when she just crossed into this world. Last year's ridiculous marriage contract was finally canceled, and now what awaits her is that she doesn't know what it is, and her future is confused.

In Gu Ruoxi's heart, it was false to say that she was not hesitating, but let her really say the fear in her heart. She couldn't say anything. Liuli on the side was already nervous, but she was still calm.

Finally, Liuli couldn't help but whisper in Gu Ruoxi's ear and said:

"Miss, do you think His Royal Highness King Jing knows about this matter?"

As soon as the words fell. Liuli received a big white eye from Gu Ruoxi. She immediately stopped.

Gu Ruoxi glared at her fiercely, but did not answer.

Followed outside was Gonggong Gao, and there were a few guards standing around the carriage, maybe some of these people would be able to do martial arts, and if they spoke quietly, they would definitely be noticed, and Gu Ruoxi didn't want people to know that he had any contact with Xuanyuan Jingxi.

When Liuli received Gu Ruoxi's white eyes, she knew that she was reckless, and she couldn't help but regret it, and she didn't dare to speak again.

It didn't take long for the palace to arrive.

The carriage didn't even stop in front of the palace gate, and drove inward unimpeded. I also know that the person sitting in front of me is Gao Gonggong, who is the red man next to the emperor, who has the courage to stop him? Isn't that a joke?

The carriage entered the Donghua Gate and went straight to the Qianqing Palace, not stopping along the way, Gu Ruoxi sat in the carriage and couldn't help but look sideways, but there were curtains blocking it, and she couldn't see anything. I could only see the tassels on the curtains trembling with the rhythm of the carriage.

This is the second time I have seen this emperor, the last time there were too many people in Cining Palace, she didn't have anything to be nervous about, but today, the only person the emperor wanted to see was herself.

Others don't know, but Gu Ruoxi herself understands, the emperor wants to see herself, eighty percent is because of the clothes that those embroidery girls gave her at the beginning, and the red mole on her back must have been known by the emperor, so it is very likely that her life experience was also known by the emperor.

Gu Ruoxi had no intention of judging the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, but since she knew about this matter, she didn't even have a good impression of this high-ranking emperor in her heart.

The two couples back then could have been at least one happy couple, but because of the emperor's selfishness and domineering, it eventually caused a tragedy for the four of them. If it weren't for this emperor, her mother wouldn't have died early! And she doesn't have to be in such a difficult situation in the Hou Mansion.

The emperor wants to see her, because he wants to see what the daughter born to his beloved looks like, right?

So what about after reading it? Do you regret it or do you want to continue to occupy it? Gu Ruoxi sneered.

She couldn't guess what the selfish and mean emperor would do next, but she guessed that the emperor had always rejected the crown prince because he knew her background.

Well, she wants to see what this incorruptible and shameless emperor is going to do?

Gu Ruoxi almost entered the Qianqing Palace with a certain death mentality. Named Bubba.

There was a Ye Ning in the main hall.

Gu Ruoxi only stared at her toes, her eyes lowered, and she listened to Gonggong Gao and said to her with a smile: "Second Miss Gu, you wait in this hall for a while, and our family will go to report to the emperor, you have already come in." ”

"I'm in trouble." ancient

Ruoxi said in a low voice.

"It's okay!" Gao Gonggong smiled and immediately retreated.

Gu Ruoxi stayed alone in the Qianqing Palace, and the surrounding leaves were as quiet as stagnant water, without a trace of waves. She was standing in this almost suffocating empty hall of Ye Jing, and her chaotic heart suddenly became calm, clear.

Xuanyuan Jingxi, he should have known that he had entered the palace, right?

Just glared at Liuli, but at this moment, Gu Ruoxi couldn't control her thoughts about Xuanyuan Jingxi, since the first meeting, this person has cared for her meticulously and helped her everywhere, except for him, there is no second person in this world who can treat her like this.

Even when she changed her appearance and became an ordinary girl in blue clothes, Xuanyuan Jingxi did not look down on her in the slightest, as if she was also very beautiful and beautiful. It's beautiful, it's unique.

But what did she do? He enjoys his kindness to himself, but he never responds......

At this moment, Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but feel ashamed.

She decided that when she left the palace this time, she must go to see Xuanyuan Jingxi, at least hug the only person she could think of in danger.

"The emperor has arrived—" At this moment, a loud voice came from the gate of the palace, and it immediately pulled Gu Ruoxi back from his contemplation. She didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly knelt down and asked Ye: "The courtiers see the emperor!" ”

A sound of footsteps from far to near, finally stopped in front of Gu Ruoxi.

From Gu Ruoxi's line of sight, she could see the golden embroidered dragon's robe and black gold boots in front of her, but other than that, she couldn't see anything. Her head hung lower than it had just been.

"Lift up your head and let me see." At that moment, the majestic emperor spoke.

Gu Ruoxi's heart froze, but he slowly raised his face obediently.

She met a pair of stern eyes with a hint of scrutiny, the gaze in those eyes was particularly domineering, Gu Ruoxi only glanced at it and quickly lowered her head, her heart was very flustered.

Sure enough, it's the emperor! No wonder the aura is so powerful.

At the same time, the emperor also saw Gu Ruoxi clearly.

At the first glance, he really thought that he had seen the eldest daughter of Jinhou, Gu Yuetong, but after a second look, he immediately recognized that she was not her!

The two women look very similar, but their eyes and temperament are completely different. This allows those who have seen them to tell who is who with just one glance.

This is Min-sook's child!

The emperor sighed in his heart, he suddenly found that Gu Ruoxi's temperament was very similar to his mother, and through this girl, he seemed to see the girl Min Shu who he loved with all his heart but never got it. At this moment, his mood was suddenly very excited.

"Come, sit down." The emperor commanded to Gao Gonggong

Road.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Gonggong answered, and immediately moved a brocade stool from the side hall and put it down in the side hall.

Gu Ruoxi thanked him and walked over gently.

The emperor looked at her low eyebrows, but he couldn't help sighing, this walk, he found that this girl was not like Min Shu again!

He put away the mixed emotions in his heart, walked to the upper throne and sat down, looked at Gu Ruoxi fixedly, and suddenly said, "Can I call you Xi'er?" ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, her face couldn't help but change! But the next moment she nodded and said, "Of course." ”

The emperor smiled lightly, turned his head and asked, "I heard that you are not in good health and have been in bed in the palace to recuperate, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers are indeed not very strong, and every time the seasons change, they will recuperate in the courtyard, but it is not very serious." Gu Ruoxi said lightly.

When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this serious?" So what does that mean? As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Gao Gonggong: "Gao Sheng, you go to the warehouse to get a few more precious tonics, and take them away when Miss Gu Er leaves later." ”

"Your Majesty! This must not be! When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and asked Ye Dao: "The courtiers have no merit and no virtue, how can they accept such a generous reward from Your Majesty?" This gets out......"

"If I reward you, you will take it, who dares to talk about it?" The emperor interrupted Gu Ruoxi's words and said to her, "Get up!" Speak in front of me, and kneel without moving. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Ruoxi suppressed the surprise in her heart, and slowly got up and sat back in the chair, but the doubts in her heart became more and more.

The emperor's attitude towards her is really weird!

Could it be that she felt that she owed her mother back then, so she wants to make up for it now?

Or did the emperor have something else in mind?

Gu Ruoxi felt a chill, only to feel that she was thinking too much, she hurriedly put away all the thoughts in her heart and sat upright.

The emperor felt amused when he saw her serious appearance, and he waved his hand and said, "Xi'er, you don't need to be so nervous in front of me. ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this 'Xi'er', goosebumps rose all over her body, she glanced at the emperor helplessly, and responded: "Yes." ”

The Emperor then asked, "What do you do at home on a daily basis?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the folk girl reads books and embroiders when she has nothing to do at home, and there is nothing else." Gu Ruoxi replied respectfully, but the doubts in her heart were even worse, oh my God! The emperor asked her this, is he so boring?

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the emperor's words to finally shift to the right path: "You are also very confused about what I invited you to the palace today, right?" ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded lightly.

The emperor smiled and said, "You are the same age as your sister, and she will be married next month."

, I suddenly remembered that you still don't have a marriage contract, and I called you into the palace today to give you a marriage. ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his brain exploded all at once! Oh, my God! Could it be that the emperor really agreed to Xuanyuan Yan's request?

Thinking that she was going to marry Xuanyuan Yan as a side concubine, and then fall into the quagmire of the palace and never be able to break free, Gu Ruoxi felt that the future was confused and boring.

But fortunately, the emperor rescued her in the next sentence: "I see that you have a good heart, and you have a good foundation, and you were really wronged by the marriage given to Prince Min at that time, but fortunately, the marriage contract has been dissolved, and my third prince Xuanyuan Yu is considered to be both civil and military, and his heart is still good, and he is very ...... with you."

Before the word "match" could be spoken, a guard came in at the gate of the palace and reported: "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother asks to see! ”

The emperor was stunned when he ascended, why did the Queen Mother come?

However, without giving him too much time to react, after a while, the Queen Mother walked in from outside with the support of King Jingyuan Jingxi.

Gu Ruoxi missed Xuanyuan Jingxi just now, but she didn't expect that only a quarter of an hour later, she really saw others! There was a trace of excitement in her heart, even in a solemn place like the Qianqing Palace, she couldn't control it. But fortunately, her head and neck were down, and the emperor did not see the joy in her eyes.

"Sons see the queen mother!" The emperor hurriedly stood up and asked the Queen Mother for Ye, and Xuanyuan Jingxi, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, bent down to ask him for Ye: "See Brother Huang." ”

Gu Ruoxi didn't kneel down until they finished their respective salutes, and then knelt down and asked Ye Dao: "Courtier Gu Ruoxi, see the Queen Mother, see His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

"Yo! The second young lady of the Gu family is also there? The Queen Mother glanced at Gu Ruoxi with a casual gaze, neither yin nor yang.
