Chapter 263: The Unwilling Virtuous King (First Update)
Coming back all the way from Daming Palace, the Duchess of Wei couldn't help but be happy, and kept talking to the queen of heaven about the scenery of Daming Palace, full of praise.
The queen's face was indifferent, and after a few words, she said that she was tired, and leaned on the soft pillow to close her eyes and take a nap.
Duchess Wei glanced at the amiable Concubine De, after all, she didn't dare to say anything more to her, so she could only pull Gu Mingzhu to talk about whether she had a match or not, and it was all about dresses and jewelry, and there was nothing more to say.
It's just that when the Fengluan Palace car arrived in front of the Ganlu Palace, Xu Siyan, who stayed in the palace, stood in front of the hall and waited, and when he saw the carriage coming, he smiled slightly and greeted him, and bowed down: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Xian is already waiting in front of the palace." ”
The queen raised her eyebrows, and said with Concubine De and smiled: "Erlang, this kid is really, he will enter the palace to talk to me every two or three days, but he is a little more intimate than Sanlang." ”
Concubine De smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness King Xian is pure filial piety, thinking about Niangniang in everything, His Royal Highness Xianwang is also a heart, Niangniang is blessed, and others can not envy him." ”
The queen of heaven smiled even more, and said to the Duchess of Wei: "Erlang is here, I am afraid that I will stay in the Ganlu Hall for dinner, today King Chen Liuwang got the marriage edict, and the saint is afraid that he will also come, my sister has been tired all day, I will not leave my sister here, and I will invite my sister to come over tomorrow to talk." ”
Duchess Wei's originally happy face was suddenly a little lost, and she pulled the corners of her mouth after a while: "Then, then I'll go back to Anren Hall first, and come back tomorrow to say hello to Niangniang." ”
Concubine De also bent her knees and smiled humbly: "The concubine also retired and went to order the banquet in Chongyang Palace." ”
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly followed and bowed, but before she could speak, the queen of heaven had already glanced at her and said, "Mingzhu stays, I still have something to tell you." ”
She had to get up and retreat to the side, but she was puzzled in her heart, why did King Xian come to the Ganlu Hall to leave her.
The queen of heaven didn't talk to her anymore, and took Xu Siyan and walked with her to the jade steps.
Li Yu, the virtuous king, was waiting in front of the Ganlu Palace, and when he saw the queen of heaven coming, he hurriedly got up and bowed down with a smile: "A-Niang is back, is this going to Daming Palace?" ”
After he finished speaking, he saw Gu Mingzhu following behind the queen of heaven, his face changed slightly, he frowned and withdrew his gaze, a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
She is no longer the eldest lady of the Gu family, but the lord of Lingling County, and she is still staying in the palace for Anping to read with, does she think that she can escape from the palm of her hand in this way!
Li Yu sneered in her heart, don't worry, after a while, she will still obediently listen to him after all, and do her best for him.
After all, his expression couldn't escape the eyes of the queen of heaven, looking at Li Yu's appearance, the queen's smile turned a little colder, and nodded lightly: "Why did Erlang come over today, and the errand was done?" ”
Li Yu was sent by the sage to meet with the envoys of various countries to the Tang Dynasty these days, and to build a post house next to the West Market to arrange the envoys of various countries, it should be very busy, but he still has time to come to the Ganlu Palace, I am afraid that it has another purpose.
"I haven't come to ask my mother for peace these days, and I am very worried about it, and some time ago I got a few good red treasures from the Persian envoys, and gave my mother a set of faces, thinking that I would be free to send it over today, so that my mother likes it."
Li Yu smiled humbly and politely, and took a brocade box from the hand of his entourage with tenderness, and sent it to the queen of heaven: "Ah Niang, take a look, but if there is anything unsatisfactory, I will let the craftsman change it." ”
The queen of heaven glanced at the brocade box, but she didn't take it, just smiled faintly: "Go into the hall and say." ”
When he arrived in the hall, Li Yu sent the brocade box to the desk in front of the queen of heaven, and then humbly retreated to the side and sat down: "It's not a precious thing, it's just that I saw that a red treasure of this size is rare, and it is difficult to have such a good tribute from Persia in previous years, so I deliberately spent money and silver and silk in exchange, just to let A-Niang like it." ”
He no longer looked at Gu Mingzhu now, and looked at the queen of heaven earnestly, looking expectant.
It's just that the queen of heaven still didn't reach out to open the brocade box, but said with a smile: "Erlang has always had a heart, and he thinks about me in everything, I know." It's just that seeing that you are about to marry the princess of Gaochangguo, you still have to put some thought into it, and you can keep this set of faces and send it to Gaochang as a fixed object in the future. ”
She sighed again: "It's also my negligence, I should have done it for you a long time ago, after the Double Ninth Festival banquet, I will let the Shanggong Bureau get the dowry list for you, and I will definitely not teach you and the princess to be wronged." ”
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but glance up, only to see Li Yu with his head down, his face was normal, and he couldn't see anything, but his tense lips taught Gu Mingzhu, who was already well aware of his habits, noticed it, and he was afraid that he was already holding back his anger.
Li Yu is indeed full of anger and resentment, why, he has done so much painstaking work, and he has also done his best in front of the queen of heaven and saints over the years, so that they can see their excellence, but he still became an outcast.
Yes, the foundling, a prince who marries a foreign woman for a period of time is an outcast of the royal family, which means that he has no possibility of ascending to the throne of God in the hearts of saints and queens.
But why is it him, the prince is so stupid, the mother of King Chen Liuwang is the queen of the abolition, and the third brother King Xian is even more mediocre, why is it him!
He suppressed his urge to roar out, and only smiled for a long time: "A-Niang, this is my filial piety to you, where you have to deal with others, I will prepare for those things separately." ”
The queen of heaven looked at him and smiled very calmly: "If you have this heart, I will be content, and there is no need to bother anymore, I will keep this for you, and when the edict of marriage is issued, I will return it to you together with the fixed ceremony and the dowry." ”
Li Yu slowly got up and bowed to the queen of heaven: "Thank you, A-Niang." ”
Only then did he withdraw from the hall and walk down the jade steps step by step.
Watching him walk away, the smile on the queen's face slowly disappeared, looked at the brocade box in front of him, and instructed Xu Siyan: "Put it away." ”
Xu Siyan responded in a low voice, but he was a little hesitant when he walked to him, he looked at the queen of heaven without saying anything, and then glanced at Gu Mingzhu who was sitting on the side, after all, he lowered his head and did not speak.
Seeing her like this, the queen frowned: "If you have anything to say, Mingzhu is not an outsider." ”
Xu Siyan was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Today, the Chengxiang Palace sent someone to say that Sun Baolin was unwell, so he invited the medical officer to come over, and the Imperial Doctor Department replied that there was a ......."
Pregnant?!
Gu Mingzhu didn't come to his senses for a while, until he saw the queen of heaven suddenly frowning, her face was a little complicated and uncertain, and she understood that Sun Baolin was actually pregnant.
But there hasn't been an heir in this palace for ten years!
