It was only half a day, and a rumor quietly spread in Kyoto, saying that although the emperor disposed of Mrs. Liang's family, he still refused to believe in Miss Gu's innocence, so he canceled Miss Gu's marriage, and prepared to let Miss Gu Er replace her sister as the crown princess on the wedding day!

Gu Yuetong listened to her mother's persuasion yesterday, and was dreaming of getting rid of Gu Ruoxi's soldiers without blood, when she suddenly heard this rumor, and immediately became angry, and smashed all the precious antiques and jade that Mrs. Jinye Hou had worked hard to prepare in the room.

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard the news, she was rarely angry with her daughter, and immediately went to the Begonia Courtyard and scolded Gu Ruoxi for covering her face.

But Gu Yuetong was not convinced: "Mother! It's not my fault in the first place! Listen to the rumors out there. Those people don't know anything, but they have a nose and eyes, who is it not Gu Ruoxi? She didn't want me to have a good time at all! I'm going to kill her right now! He said. Gu Yuetong struggled to get out of bed.

"Calm down!" Mrs. Jinye Hou interrupted her coldly and said, "You don't want to leave Ruoxi's head as soon as something happens!" This matter has nothing to do with her! ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, she was stunned: "Mother, what do you mean?" How could this not be said by that slut from Gu Ruoxi? This matter is clearly beneficial to her! ”

"What about her gains?" Mrs. Jinye Hou glanced at her daughter with hatred, and sighed: "Taiwei Liang's family hasn't been assigned for a long time, don't you remember this?" ”

Gu Yuetong was taken aback when she heard this: "Mother, ...... you mean?"

"Eighty percent of this matter is masterminded by the queen behind her back." Mrs. Kazuha Hou said firmly: "You don't want to think about it. That Mrs. Liang's family is the queen's people, she didn't fall behind in the last incident, and she was reprimanded by the emperor, plus the loss of Mrs. Liang's family, do you think the queen will let go of the opportunity to deal with you? ”

Gu Yuetong listened blankly, and then said, "Mother, in this way, it really wasn't Gu Ruoxi who did it?" ”

"Alas! Ruoxi She stays in Luomei Curie, and she doesn't go anywhere on weekdays, which is like a seclusion, what can she do? Mrs. Jinye Hou hated iron and said, "Can't you take a long-term view?" The one who fell into the curie. Mother has always sent people to keep an eye on it, don't worry! ”

When Gu Yuetong heard this, the worry in her heart fell to the ground, but she also remembered those rumors that were unfavorable to her, but she was once again deeply worried: "Mother, the queen is so framed, what are we going to do?" ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou was also helpless in this matter, she muttered: "Rumors are difficult to break down, and my mother has no good way, and now, I can only look at the emperor's attitude." ”

"And Brother Prince! He's not going to sit idly by! Gu Yuetong said firmly.

Mrs. Jinye Hou glanced at her, very

Not wanting to dampen her daughter's self-confidence, she opened her lips and finally didn't say anything more.

Falling Mei Curie.

Gu Ruoxi also heard this rumor, and just like Mrs. Kazuba Hou thought, she also thought of the queen at the first time, but soon, she left this idea.

What is easy to guess is not necessarily the truth!

Gu Ruoxi frowned, trying to think about who did this, and the expression on his face was quite solemn.

Liuli also Jinse waited for her to be like this, and she didn't dare to come forward to disturb.

However, Gu Ruoxi suddenly asked them: "Liuli, tell me, what was the emperor's first reaction after hearing such rumors?" "Every blood in the earth.

When Liuli heard this, she immediately pondered, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "Miss, slave guess, when the emperor hears such rumors, the first thing he must be angry is, because these rumors prove that the people question him. ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded appreciatively and said, "Go on." ”

"Yes, miss." Liuli responded, and continued: "The emperor is angry, he will definitely send someone to investigate this matter, but even if the matter is investigated in the end, he finds that all this is a false accusation, and he will be uncomfortable in his heart." Regarding the fact that the eldest lady is the crown princess, he will be dissatisfied in his heart. ”

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor is the most suspicious person in the world, once someone is suspicious of him, it will not be far from death." In this way, it is really possible that the queen did this matter, because she has already formed a grudge with my eldest sister, and she is most happy to see my eldest sister being suspected by the emperor. ”

"Miss, what you can think of, the emperor must be able to think of, do you think the queen will be willing to take such a big risk when she is punished?" Liuli said loudly: "Except for the eldest lady, why should the queen be in a hurry at this time?" She can wait until later to plan, presumably at that time, the eldest lady is only concerned with getting rid of the big trouble in her palace, and she can't take care of the queen at all, she will definitely win. ”

The appreciation in Gu Ruoxi's eyes became stronger and stronger, she nodded, and said, "Yes, Liuli, I didn't expect that you, as a maid, would be able to have such insight!" ”

Liuli was praised, and suddenly lowered her head a little embarrassed and said shyly: "Miss, the slave is just guessing from a different angle, and it is not worthy of your praise." ”

"But if my eldest sister knew how to think from someone else's point of view, she wouldn't be so stupid." Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "You are right, but there are also some wrongs. Anyway, this matter is not so urgent for the time being, let's wait, the people behind the scenes will always show their feet. ”

Although this matter was aimed at Gu Yuetong, it involved her, and Gu Ruoxi felt that she had to find out who was behind the calculations.

Ruri nodded.

Jin Se in one

Listening to their back-and-forth conversations, she was very envious in her heart, but she knew that she had no insight at all, and she might mislead her own young lady if she said it, so she was just envious.

It didn't take long for Gu Ruoxi to put down the matter and concentrate on reading in the house, but Mingxiang hurriedly rushed in from outside, and said with a frightened face: "Miss! Lord Xu, the squire of the military department, came to the door with Xu Gongzi! ”

Gu Ruoxi suddenly heard the names of these two people, and was stunned for dozens of seconds before he reacted.

The son-in-law of Lord Xu, the squire of the military department, was the husband selected by Jinye Hou in order to prevent the Queen Mother from giving her a marriage at will, but in the end, she was married by the Queen Mother and the Emperor to the deceased Prince Min, and since then, she has never heard of this Xu Gongzi.

Unexpectedly, today, this person came to the door again, and brought his father!

Gu Ruoxi felt a little emotional in her heart, and there was only so much she could remember. She forgot all about the appearance of Xu Gongzi, and she could only recall a little about that warm voice.

At the time, I thought I had missed it, but I didn't expect to meet again......

Gu Ruoxi didn't believe that this Xu Shilang came to the door with his son just to talk about official business. She guessed that eighty percent was for marriage.

Unexpectedly, after so long, that Xu Gongzi has not forgotten her, and he doesn't care that she is a woman who is a good match, and she came to the door to ask for marriage on the second day of the release of the holy decree, which is really embarrassing for him.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxi suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

At the beginning, she also thought about marrying Xu Gongzi and spending her life simply. But now that so many things have happened, her state of mind has long been very different from before. She didn't want to give up.

didn't give her more time to sigh, half an hour after Ming Xiang reported the news to her, Jinye Hou personally sent the guards around him to pick up Gu Ruoxi and go to the front study.

Gu Ruoxi asked Liuli to go out and tell the guard to wait, and she went into the back room to change her clothes. This is not for Xu Xian to dress up, but after all, she is the second lady of the Gu family, and when she goes out to meet guests, she naturally has to dress up carefully, and she can't lose the face of the Hou Mansion.

Inside the brocade leaf waiting study.

Xu Shilang and Xu Xian sat at the bottom, and Jinye Hou sat at the top.

"Lord Hou, the lower officials came today, the purpose is for the marriage between Xiao'er and Ling Qianjin, at the beginning, because His Royal Highness King Jing obstructed it, he forcibly broke up this happy marriage, and now, the emperor is finally merciful and cancels the original marriage, and the marriage between our two families can also be renewed, Master Hou, don't you say?"

Listening to Xu Shilang's words, Jinye Hou said again and again: "It should be, it should be!" Immediately after, there was a trace of difficulty on his face: "Lord Xu, you also know that the emperor's holy decree was issued yesterday, and it was a family."

They were still immersed in joy and didn't react, and they didn't think about it carefully at all, Ben Hou meant, can this matter be slowed down first? ”

Gu Ruoxi walked to the courtyard with Liuli, and heard this conversation from the house, which confirmed the guess in her heart, but she couldn't push open the door in front of her.

After this period of time, Liuli has a little more speculation in her master's heart, and the choice of young lady's husband in her mind has already changed from Xu Gongzi to King Jing, although she still has an impression of the gentle and elegant Xu Gongzi, but she is really indifferent.

Although this person has not been able to forget his own lady for so long, he has come to propose marriage regardless of his previous suspicions, which is very touching. But their young lady really has nothing to do with him!

The guard at the door saw that she was hesitant, and immediately whispered: "Second Miss, do you want the slave to go to Tongyu?" ”

Gu Ruoxi was silent for a long time before he made up his mind and said, "Okay! ”

The guard got the right word, and immediately stepped forward to report: "Master Hou! Second Miss is here! ”

Suddenly Jinye Hou's calm voice came from inside: "Please let her in!" ”

"Yes! Master Hou! The guard answered, and walked over to make a gesture of invitation to Gu Ruoxi.

Since Gu Ruoxi had decided to face this matter head-on, she would not back down, and after listening to the guard's words, she nodded and walked in.

In the room, Xu Xian had already stood up from the chair excitedly, after more than half a year, he finally saw the second lady of the Hou Mansion again, how could this not make him excited?

Gu Ruoxi didn't look at him, she walked into the house, and after inviting everyone one by one, she asked Jinye Hou: "Father, why did you call your daughter?" ”

When Jinye Hou heard this, he smiled quite uncomfortably, and said to Gu Ruoxi very apologetically: "Xi'er, today Lord Xu Shilang brought Xu Gongzi to the door, and my father will let you come out to meet." ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately blessed Xu Shilang and Xu Xian again.

Xu Shilang persuaded his son at home yesterday for most of the night, persuaded to foam at the mouth and failed to make Xu Xian change his mind, today after resting for a long time, he was dragged by the unfilial son to come to the door to propose, at this time sitting in this Hou Mansion, his mood is quite complicated, according to his thoughts, he does not want the second lady of the ancient family, this matter is too much tribulation!

But I didn't expect that when this second lady Gu came out of the back room like this, just like a fairy in a lady's painting, Xu Shilang was slightly moved.

This young lady, whose son is desperate to marry, is not bad! Coupled with the prestige of the Hou Mansion, this marriage is not bad.

In just an instant, Xu Shilang changed his mind.

As for Xu Xian, his gaze never looked at anyone else since Gu Ruoxi entered the hall door.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and this second miss Gu's face once again amazed his eyes.

brocade

Ye Hou looked at Xu Xian's fascinated appearance on the side, but he was very proud in his heart, what if his daughter was divorced? That can also make others flock to it!

At the same time, Xu Shilang brought his son to the door to marry Gu Ruoxi, and when Gu Yuetong heard that the Xu Gongzi who was temporarily arrested by his father to avoid the marriage of the Queen Mother came to the door again, her eyes suddenly burst with great joy.

That's great! If Xiaomei can marry this Xu Gongzi, then she will have one less strong opponent!

And the woman who has married another woman, presumably the prince will not love anymore, right?

Her crown brother......

Gu Yuetong swept away the gloomy mood of the past few days, and finally smiled on her face, and even Mrs. Jinye Hou came to visit her, and was sent to Jinhou's study. She needs to know exactly what is going on today's marriage talks!

In the study, after Gu Ruoxi saluted everyone, he sat down on the right hand side of Jinye Hou.

Because of her, Xu Shilang finally restrained a little, and his speech was not so straightforward: "Jinhou, the family affair between our two families is also full of twists and turns, almost a year has passed, you see, is this pair of children more and more prominent?" As he spoke, he laughed.

"yes, yes! I heard that Ling Gongzi was promoted to a higher level this year, and he became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at a young age, what a young man! Kageha Hou listened to this. Immediately nodded with a smile: "It's just that Ling Lang is also eighteen this year, right?" Why haven't you ever said kiss? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shilang's face immediately changed!

When Jinye waited to see it, he hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, don't be too careful, I don't mean anything else, it's just that after all, my family Xi'er was married by the emperor to the deceased Prince Min, and your son-in-law can talk about kissing separately!" ”

"Hey, it's hard to put into words!" When Xu Shilang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Hou Ye is right, after Ling Qianjin was given to marry, my family Zihui can indeed marry again, I am not afraid of Hou Ye's jokes, and the insider also planned for this time." However, Zihui didn't agree at all, he said that as long as Miss Gu Er didn't get married for a day, he wouldn't get married for a day! This kid. I persuaded for more than a year but didn't persuade ......"

When Jin Ye Hou heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Xian in disbelief, seeing that he was looking at Gu Ruoxi with a stupid face, that kind of admiration was really revealed, almost instantly. He wanted to agree to the marriage.

For his youngest daughter, he doesn't ask her to be prosperous and rich, nor does he want her to stand at the top of power, he just hopes that she can live her life happily!

"Daddy! Is it too early to talk about marriage? At this moment, Gu Ruoxi suddenly spoke.

Jinye couldn't help but turn around and glance at her, seeing her calm face, although there was emotion in her eyes, but it was not very profound, he

was stunned for a moment, and only said half-loudly: "You are not small, you will be fourteen after the New Year." Now that the marriage is set, in another year, you can get married, isn't it just right? ”

"Yes, yes!" Xu Shilang also echoed on the side.

Only Xu Xian, but he rarely did not refute Gu Ruoxi's point of view, after listening to the words of the two elders, he shook his head and said: "Master Hou, father, the second miss is right, this matter is in a hurry, she has always been in a hurry before, and now she suddenly has no marriage contract, presumably she is not adaptable, let's wait to talk about marriage again, give her a little time to accept this matter." "The earth is bloody.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Xian, but when he saw the look of concern on his face, a trace of guilt suddenly welled up in his heart.

It's a pity that such a good person is, she has no way to respond to him after all.

Since you don't like it, then explain it as soon as possible, and don't let people misunderstand. Gu Ruoxi thought about it, so he decided to take a moment to explain what he thought in his heart to this Xu Gongzi, so that he could be relieved as soon as possible and find his other half. This should be done sooner rather than later.

But before she could speak, a small servant came in at the door to report: "Master Hou, Mrs. is here." ”

What did she come to do? Kazuha Hou's face sank suddenly, but there were outsiders present, and he didn't want to embarrass his wife after all, and the ninja said unhappily at the moment: "Please let her in!" As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled apologetically: "Xu Shilang, I'm sorry, this matter is related to my little daughter, and it doesn't hurt for the insider to listen to it and give some opinions." ”

"What did Master Hou say? It would have been fine. Xu Shilang immediately shook his head and said: "Actually, I shouldn't have brought my son to the door today, but I couldn't persuade the dog, and he pointed out that I wanted me to come to mention this family matter to the Hou Ye in person, and I couldn't fake others, I couldn't do it, so I came to the door rashly." ”
