When the banquet with a somewhat strange atmosphere was dispersed, Gu Mingli didn't say a word to Gu Qing, nor did she pay attention to the Mao family, and coldly got into the carriage of the Yan Guo Mansion and went back.

Gu Qing was also worried about Gu Mingzhu's marriage, and hurriedly went to the study, asking someone to inquire about the news in the palace, and handed over the matter of sending Gu Mingyu and Gu Mingyue to the Mao family.

Mao's smiled and sent Gu Mingyu into the carriage, and then turned around and looked at Gu Mingyue with a cold smile: "Second lady, wait, I'll let someone prepare a car to send you back to Qinglian Temple." ”

Gu Mingyu's face changed greatly, he found a way to go out from the inner hall, and hurriedly walked out of the general's mansion from the side door with the maidservant, got into the inconspicuous carriage, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go to the palace of the king." ”

Her face was very unpleasant, and there was no more pity for Chu Chu who was in front of Gu Qing and Li Mi, a little more gloomy, so that Qingyin and Yuzhu on the side didn't dare to speak more, so she could only whisper a few words of persuasion, but she was confused in her heart, His Royal Highness Xianwang had already entered the palace, why did the lady go to Xianwang's mansion?

Gu Mingzhu came out of Gu Qing's study, her face was also gloomy, Gu Qing said that Cui Lin had already entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, and she went to propose to the Queen Mother, but I was afraid that it would not be easy, Gu Mingzhu's identity was special, and the Queen Mother would never agree to let her marry the deceased.

She sighed, gave a few commands, and rushed back to the palace, the more this time, the more she could not arouse the suspicion of the queen mother.

It's just that at this time, the atmosphere in the East Pavilion of the Taiji Hall was already stagnant, and the Queen Mother sat on the upper seat with a very ugly face, and looked coldly at Cui Lin below: "You ask to marry Mingzhu?" ”

Cui Lin looked at her calmly: "Yes, I ask to marry the Lord of Lingling, and ask the Queen Mother for permission." ”

The queen mother can hardly hold back her anger, since the last time she summoned the head of the family to meet her, the family has not handed over the Lu family and gave her an explanation, not only that, but she also got the news that the family has built a mansion in Chang'an, and sent some of the clansmen to Chang'an, clearly did not take her words seriously, and heard that the head of the Zheng family and the head of the Lu family also went to the Xianwang Mansion.

The queen mother's dissatisfaction with the family has reached its peak, but in front of her, Cui Lin came to the door to ask to marry Gu Mingzhu.

Everyone knows that Gu Mingzhu is the person she trusts the most, and the family actually hit her with the idea.

Her eyes became colder and colder, and it took a long time to hide her anger, but she sat down and looked at Cui Lin: "This is what the Cui family means?" It's not that the family can't intermarry with foreigners, so how can they want Mingzhu to marry her? ”

Cui Lin was unhurried: "This is the meaning of Lin, and the elders in the family also know it." ”

The Queen Mother heard the meaning, but she refused to believe it, it was Cui Lin's own meaning? Not a conspiracy of the Maison?

She sneered: "Since you said that you meant it, Cui Cheng also agreed?" ”

Cui Lin smiled faintly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother for permission......"

As soon as Gu Mingzhu got out of the carriage, he saw Xu Siyan hurriedly coming out, and his face was very anxious: "County Lord, Cui Wulangjun entered the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was angry......

Gu Mingzhu's heart suddenly rose to her throat, she knew that Cui Lin would inevitably mention marriage when she entered the palace, and she also knew that the Queen Mother would inevitably not agree, but she didn't expect Cui Lin to be so reckless, which actually caused the Queen Mother to be angry, and she didn't know what kind of tension it was now.

Xu Siyan remembered the game-like conversation between the Queen Mother and Cui Lin in the palace, and the anger on the Queen Mother's face, so he was worried, and Gu Mingzhu lowered his voice and said: "Cui Wulangjun is here to ask the Queen Mother for marriage, he wants, the Queen Mother will marry the county lord and him......"

Even though he had known it for a long time, Gu Mingzhu's body still stiffened and did not speak.

Xu Siyan looked stunned when she saw her, but when she was frightened, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the county lord first, I don't know if the queen mother will allow it, I will tell the county lord about it." ”

It's just that from a distance across the palace gate, I have heard the Queen Mother's voice full of anger suddenly raised: "Do you think I will be afraid of a mere Cui family?" When the family was in its heyday, Emperor Taizong was able to let you live in the wilderness, am I still afraid now......"

Xu Siyan and Gu Mingzhu's faces have changed, is the Queen Mother going to tear her face with the family?

Gu Mingzhu was even more anxious, so that the situation that had gradually calmed down before was afraid that it would make waves again, and the family would once again oppose the Queen Mother's party? That Cui Lin is afraid that he will become a thorn in the side of the Queen Mother.

She instinctively couldn't help but want to go to the main hall, no matter how bad the situation was, at least she could help Cui Lin ask for a favor and let the Queen Mother spare him.

But her footsteps stopped again, the turmoil in her heart slowly calmed down, and she quickly figured out that the more this time, the more she couldn't go, otherwise she was afraid that instead of helping Cui Lin, she would completely anger the Queen Mother.

She took a deep breath, pulled out a smile, and said to Xu Siyan: "Thank you, I'll go back to the side hall first, if the Queen Mother summons me, let someone go and talk to me." ”

Forcing himself to turn his head and not look at the closed palace door, Gu Mingzhu took Abi Xiaokui and walked towards the side hall.

Watching her walk away, Xu Siyan sighed lightly, Cui Lin's request to the Queen Mother is really incredible, and the Queen Mother will never agree to marry Gu Mingzhu to the family, so it will make the Queen Mother anxious to set up a family affair for Gu Mingzhu, and it can't be the Hanyang County Palace.

Xu Siyan shook his head, the temper of the princess of Hanyang County is famous in the palace, if she really marries, I am afraid that Gu Mingzhu will also suffer a lot of grievances.

Gu Mingzhu's heart had completely sunk after returning to the side hall, and she also knew that the Queen Mother would definitely not agree, but Cui Lin angered the Queen Mother, and it was not up to her to decide what she would be afraid of in the future.

She sat on the couch for a long time and didn't move, and she didn't even answer the drink sent by Abi, and only spoke after a while: "Let people go to the East Pavilion to watch, and if there is any movement, they will report immediately." ”

He also instructed Xiaokui: "Go and get the box, and prepare to go with me to see the Queen Mother." ”

Seeing Xiao Kui holding the box to her, Gu Mingzhu reached out and took it and held it in her hand, the box was not heavy, but the contents were carefully collected, but her face became more and more solemn, waiting to see the Queen Mother.

It's just that this wait is a long time, until the twilight is about to rise, the door of the East Pavilion is opened, and the palace maid sent Cui Lin out of the hall, his expression is still calm, and Gu Mingzhu, who hurried over after getting the news, showed a shallow smile, full of determination and gentleness, which made Gu Mingzhu's heart that had been restless instantly calm down.

Cui Lin whispered two words: "Don't worry." ”

After a deep look at her, he turned around and went down the jade steps.

Feel relieved? Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, what does this mean? Could he ......

It's just that before she could think about it, Xu Siyan had already walked out quickly: "County Lord, the Queen Mother invited the county lord to come in and speak." ”

She couldn't help but clench the box, took a light breath, and walked towards the temple.
