Gu Qingwan hugged the pipa and retreated to the side, Gu Chengzhi stepped forward again, arched his hand, and said: "The little girl Gu Qingwan has reached the end of the year this year, and the old minister wants to ask His Majesty to give the little girl a marriage." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Chao Xinglan's mouth seemed to slip a little: "Oh? I don't know if Aiqing has a candidate in her heart? ”

"Everything is subject to the emperor's will." Gu Chengzhi's head lowered a few points, but his back was still straight.

"What does Aiqing think about being included in my harem?" Chao Xinglan's eyes narrowed, but there was a clear murderous intent under those eyes. Chang Yahe could see that she, the imperial brother, was really angry.

She looked at Gu Pei'er on the side, and saw that Gu Pei'er was also sitting there straight, expressionless. Chang Yahe looked at Gu Chengzhi again and frowned.

What does this old puppet mean? Today is the Birthday Festival, and it is the queen mother's intention to bring all the family members here, but everyone knows the purpose of bringing it over.

As an official in the court, everyone knows that the emperor favors the queen and regards the concubines in the harem as nothing, but the emperor's heirs are thin, so the queen mother repeatedly forced the emperor to accept concubines, and the emperor was a little resistant to this matter. And Gu Chengzhi, as the biological father of the current queen, how could he not understand?

Now in front of the queen, he asks the emperor to marry on the Halloween Day, doesn't this mean that he wants to slap the queen in the face?

But Gu Chengzhi didn't take the usual path, he just pretended not to understand the warmth and anger in Chao Xinglan's words, and just replied respectfully: "It's just the emperor's arrangement." ”

For a moment, there was silence in the hall, and everyone did not dare to speak out loudly, for fear of being angry about it.

"Smack!" With a bang, the dragon case was slapped heavily, which frightened the ministers on the field to shiver, Chao Xinglan restrained his smile and glared at Gu Chengzhi angrily: "You are so bold!" ”

Gu Chengzhi knelt down with a puff, and Gu Qingwan, who didn't know why, was so frightened that she lost her face, and also knelt down with her father, burying her head deeply between her hands, not daring to look at the emperor.

"Now that Pei'er is still a country, what do you want to do when you send another daughter over? Instead of Pei'er? Do you think Pei'er doesn't listen to your Gu family, so she wants to change someone else to take power? Are you Gu family going to be reversed! "It was not such a serious matter, but it was said by Chao Xinglan very seriously, Gu Chengzhi didn't expect Chao Xinglan to be so angry for Gu Pei'er, he was forced to take a concubine before, and he was never so angry before, why can't they Gu family?

thought that thinking of his friendship with the first emperor, Chao Xinglan would not treat the Gu family well, but now it seems that he overestimated his status in Chao Xinglan's heart.

Chao Xinglan really can't move their Gu family, firstly for Gu Peier, and secondly, because Gu Chengzhi was an official in the two dynasties and a prime minister, and the power in his hands accounts for half of the current government and the opposition, if he wants to move him, it will definitely cause a period of turmoil. But Gu Chengzhi is like a thorn in his heart, it hurts to pull it out, and it hurts if he doesn't pull it out. Now he dares to send his daughter to his harem so blatantly, how can he not be angry.

"Wechen don't dare! Wechen is terrified! Your Majesty is angry! Gu Chengzhi kowtowed heavily.

The atmosphere was scorched for a while, but no one dared to come out and make a round about it. Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, the Queen Mother coughed and slowly spoke: "The emperor is angry, Prime Minister Gu Cheng may not mean that, if the emperor thinks it is inappropriate, give Gu Qianjin to others." ”

The Queen Mother spoke, Chao Xinglan was not embarrassed, he withdrew his hand on the table and pondered. Who is present who can control the old fox of the Gu family? His power is already difficult to regain, and if it expands again, I am afraid that it will be a threat in the future.

"I wonder what the queen mother thinks?" Chao Xinglan simply threw the pot to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhai Tianyi with a smile: "Isn't Yi'er unmarried?" Prime Minister Gu Cheng is the emperor's father-in-law, and Gu Qianjin is a descendant, so she is naturally worthy of the position of Princess Lidong. ”

Chao Xinglan's gaze also shifted, and his brows furrowed. This is a good way, Zhai Tianyi is absolutely loyal to him, and he is the only one who can control the Gu family, but how can this kind of political marriage make him happy? Chao Xinglan regained his smile: "Tianyi, what do you think?" ”

Zhai Tianyi, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating from his eyes, opened his eyes at this moment, and there was no emotion in his deep pupils, and he arched his hand: "Since it is the arrangement of the Queen Mother, the minister naturally accepts it gladly." ”
