Chapter 21: Everything is ready, take a seat

Yumei came out of the princess's residence, and sure enough, she met Gu Yangling who was drinking tea alone in the square pavilion.

She stood under the pavilion for a while, until Gu Yangling saw her and beckoned her over, then she raised her legs and stepped up the steps and entered the pavilion.

Gu Yangling put the ice cubes on the table into the teacup, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her, "On such a hot day, why don't you ask Xiaoyu to hold an umbrella and follow." ”

Yumei took the teacup and drank it all in two sips, "It's okay, let Xiaoyu go back first." Then Gu Zi sat opposite Gu Yangling and asked Gu Yangling, "Is Gongzi awake?" ”

Gu Yangling nodded, poured her another cup of tea, and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”

Yumei pursed her lips and thought for a while, "The princess is a little tired, so she rested." ”

After the words were finished, the two of them were silent, and they sat silently for a while. Suddenly, Gu Yangling raised his head and looked at her, and asked bluntly, "What do you think of today's events?" ”

Yu Mei held the teacup in her hand and played with it, "The princess has been pampered since she was a child, and her temper is bigger, maybe it's too hot this day, and people are a little dry, and she didn't grasp the measure at hand for a while, so she didn't mean to push her son into the water." ”

Gu Yangling listened, was noncommittal, and just looked at her.

Suddenly, he asked another topic, "Everyone in the house said that the princess intends to marry me, and you are good friends with her, do you know if she has this intention?" ”

Yu Mei also said bluntly, "I have it." ”

Gu Yangling looked at her carefully, hoping to see a little jealousy or jealousy in her eyes, but unfortunately, her face was light and light, as if the two of them were talking about things that had nothing to do with her.

So he lowered his head and went to refill the tea. "Mrs. Fang Cai told me that she should have made it clear to the princess earlier, lest she ask the emperor for a marriage, what do you say?"

When Yumei heard this, she was anxious and hurriedly said, "No! As the words came out, Fang realized that he had overreacted, and hurriedly explained, "Xiangye, Amir is a princess born in India and the United States, and she has a proud temperament since she was a child, if you have a showdown with her at this juncture, I am afraid it will make her unhappy, and if it causes the two countries to lose peace between the two countries, it will be a big disaster!" ”

After that, she stopped to observe Gu Yangling, and saw that he was staring at her, and his face was not wavering.

Then he added: "If the prime minister can trust Yumei, then hand over this matter to Mei, let Yumei talk to the princess in detail, and want to come...... The princess will not bring shame on herself, and will retreat from the difficulties. ”

Gu Yangling paused in his hand, then put down the tea set in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he actually smiled, "In this way, I will bother Dr. Xin." ”

When he smiled, the eyes that were as deep as a secluded pool lost their usual coldness, and they became much warmer and brighter in an instant, Yumei looked at him, and her heart was unconsciously stagnant, and then there was a pain.

She was too busy to turn her head, and the hand holding the cup subconsciously tightened, "Even so, you still need Xiangye to promise Yumei one thing." ”

Gu Yangling's eyes lifted slightly, and he opened his mouth and said, "You say." ”

Yu Meifu turned her head and looked at him, her lips opened slightly, "These days, Xiangye had better not see the princess again." She thought it was none of her business, and said plainly, but for some reason, as soon as the words came out, her tone suddenly changed.

Inexplicably, it tasted a little sour.

Gu Yangling was slightly stunned, a snicker seemed to rise in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little, "Okay, as long as Doctor Xin tells me, don't say it for a few days, even if you don't see it in the future, it's okay." ”

Yumei was speechless for a while.

The two looked at each other, but they were silent.

I don't know if it's because the cicadas in the summer are getting louder and louder, or because Gu Yangling's eyes are getting more and more focused, which disturbs Yumei's upset, so she wants to find an excuse to leave.

But her mind was deliberately against her, and suddenly she couldn't think of a suitable excuse.

The two of them sat together in the pavilion for a long time.

Seeing that the sun was slanting in the west and the sun was shining into the pavilion, Gu Yangling slowly spoke, "These days, the court is busy, so I don't go to see you anymore, you are okay." ”

Yu Mei didn't expect him to be sudden, and when she said this, a trace of blush rose on her face, and she hurriedly lowered her head: "Everything is fine, Xie Xiangye cares." ”

Gu Yangling saw that she was courteous everywhere and distant everywhere, and he was unhappy, so he got up and went over, rubbed her into his arms, and said softly: "Yumei, you and me, you and I, don't need to be so polite." ”

Yumei was hugged by him, her body stiffened at first, but she quickly adapted to it, she hesitated for a while before putting her hands on Gu Yangling's arms and answered in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Gu Yangling bent down, pillowed his head on her shoulder, and after a long while, exhaled softly in her ear, "It's not early, you should be hungry, I'll send you back." ”

"Hmm." Yumi nodded, let him take his hand, and walked towards Zijinju.

Gu Yangling originally planned to accompany Yumei for dinner in Zijinju, but Ah Si suddenly came to him and said that there was something urgent, so he had to leave again.

Yumi sent him out, hesitated for a while, but still grabbed him. "Xiangye, Yumei still has one more thing, I want to ask Xiangye."

Asking for this word, she had never said it to him, Gu Yangling hurriedly turned her head to look at her, as always, only said two words, "You say." ”

His question made Yumei hesitate for a moment, her lips opened and opened, and she finally made up her mind, "Yumei wants to ask, can Xiangye take Yumei with him at the palace banquet in three days?" ”

Gu Yangling thought that she was asking for something big, but she didn't want it to be this, even if she didn't mention it, she had planned to take her with her, so he smiled and rubbed Yumei's head, "It's okay." ”

"Xie ......" remembered that Gu Yangling asked her not to be too polite, but the word Xiangye had no exit after all, so she stopped, smiled mischievously at Gu Yangling, and sent him away.

She stood in front of the gate of Zijinju, watching Gu Yangling's figure gradually walk away, and suddenly felt tired, her body turned away, and leaned against the door frame.

She suddenly thought sadly, Gu Yangling, do you know that I want to go to the banquet, not because I want to be lively, but just ......

I just want to see for myself that you are protesting in public at the feast......

caused Tianwei to be furious. Cause public outrage.

I want to see you, to be the target of everyone's ......

The feast is coming in a blink of an eye.

From the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were four people who went to the palace for a banquet, Gu Xiang and his wife, Princess Amir and Yumei.

Yumei invited herself to sit in the same carriage with the princess, but Gu Yangling seemed unwilling to sit with her wife, so she took the horse, drove the horse by herself, and went first.

When Yumei and his party arrived, he waited at the door, and when he saw that the three of them had arrived, he went to the banquet hall with his father-in-law.

This is a dust-washing banquet specially set up for Princess Amir, Amir, as the host and guest, was arranged directly opposite Gu Yangling, because she insisted on inviting, Yumei sat with her.

In addition, officials of the DPRK and China who are above the third grade are also present.

The banquet was quite grand.

When the time was approaching, with a shout of "The emperor has arrived", all the officials left the table and walked to the hall, kneeling on the ground together.

Yumi followed Amir and knelt in front of her.

She caught a glimpse of a bright yellow robe, and then heard everyone shout in unison: "Ministers welcome the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

She hurriedly opened her mouth, and then fell to her knees.

"All the ministers are flat!"

A gentle middle-aged male voice sounded, and the officials knocked again: "Thank you, Lord Longen." Then, they retreated to their seats.

Yumei dared to raise her head and secretly look at the person sitting on the throne.

She originally thought that the emperor, who was so stupid and unable to allow Gu Yangling to steal real power, must be a fat old man, but she didn't want to take a look at it and was taken aback.

The man sitting on the dragon chair, although he also looked to be in his early fifties, was more well-proportioned than many of his peers, and his eyes were bright and energetic.

The words are also thoughtful and detailed.

Yu Meizheng was secretly surprised, and Amir, who was sitting next to her, had already gotten up, raised his glass with both hands, and bowed respectfully: "Emperor Amir Xie!" With that, he drank the wine in his glass.

I think it was named by the emperor.

Sure enough, the emperor continued to ask her: "How long has Princess Amir been in Beijing?" ”

"It's been two months since I returned to the emperor."

The emperor nodded, his color was pleasant, "Are you still used to life in Beijing?" ”

Amir smiled and replied, "These days, thanks to the care of Xiangye, Amir is all right." As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yangling on the other side, and there seemed to be a flush on his face.

The emperor who sat down saw her clearly, and said with a smile: "The princess has come from afar, and she is willing to marry me forever, which is really a blessing for the people of the two countries, and I also appreciate the princess's righteousness." I still remember that day, when I personally promised that I would let the princess choose. I don't know how two months have passed, and the princess has this wishful husband in her heart. ”

After getting the emperor's royal words, Amir was happy in his heart, and hurriedly left the table and walked to the hall, landed on his knees, and made a big salute, "Enlighten the emperor, Amir does have a crush, and please ask the emperor for permission." ”

The emperor raised his right hand lightly, "Princess, hurry up." Then, he swept left and right, smiled and asked, "I don't know which Langjun the princess likes?" ”

Amir didn't hide it, knelt up straight, and looked directly at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Amir is the one who wants to marry." After that, her right hand pointed directly at Gu Yangling, "Gu Xiang!" Please also ask the emperor to give you a marriage! ”

The emperor seemed to have expected it, and immediately laughed, pointed at Gu Yangling and said, "It's really not a loss, it's really a real prime minister, it's really charming!" ”

When the officials in the hall heard this, they all burst into laughter.

After a while, the emperor coughed lightly twice, suddenly sat up straight, and made an order, "Prime Minister Gu Yangling and Princess Amir listen to the order!" ”

Gu Yangling listened and slowly stood up, but he just looked at Yumei on the other side and didn't move. Many officials whispered, and when the lady sitting next to him saw it, she hurriedly took his hand and signaled that he should come forward to listen to the order.

He walked slowly to the hall, bent his knees, and fell to his knees. But his posture was straight, and he did not bow his head or speak.

In fact, it is disrespectful to be like this in front of the emperor.

But he's different, he's Gu Yangling!

Even so, the hundred officials didn't dare to be angry or speak, and the emperor didn't seem to care, he smiled undiminishedly, and said: "Gu Yangling, Amir, I miss that the two of you are in love with each other, and today I will give the two of them a good relationship of gold and jade, and they will get married one day!" ”

"Good!"

"Congratulations!"

On the banquet, hundreds of officials came to congratulate, which was quite lively and festive.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Yangling slowly opened his mouth, his voice was not loud, but cold and decisive, "Your Majesty!" Forgiveness cannot obey the order! ”
