Chapter 246: Decision (2nd Update)
Queen Xi Tianhou was silent, she sat on the couch and looked at Gu Mingzhu who was lying on the ground in front of her, and she didn't speak for a long time.
This is something she never expected, she thought that the Gu family would choose King Chen Liu because of the sage's thoughts, and after all, she would stand opposite her, so she would be merciless except for Gu Mingzhu, although she saved Princess Anping, but in front of the big thing, such things are no longer enough to mention.
She also thought that the Gu family and Gu Mingzhu would finally succumb, and An An would obey the arrangement to marry into the Xianwang Mansion, so that she would be willing to give the Gu family a decent appearance, let Gu Mingzhu marry into the Xianwang Mansion, give her a lift, and make the Gu family surrender to her with all their hearts.
But Gu Mingzhu didn't choose either side, she chose to enter the palace as Princess Anping's companion.
She is the daughter of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, and she is also the eldest lady of the Hussar General's Mansion, and she is indeed worthy of being a princess companion in terms of identity, and she is thoughtful and decisive, and she is good friends with Princess Anping, so she is also suitable for being a princess companion.
The queen looked at her and couldn't think of any reason to refuse her for a while.
There was an uneasy silence in the hall, and Gu Mingzhu also lowered his head slightly, did not speak again, waiting for the decision of the queen of heaven.
"Ah Yun." The queen finally raised her head and called.
Xu Siyan, who had been waiting outside the hall, came in quietly and bent his knees in front of the queen of heaven: "Niangniang." ”
"Send Mrs. Gu out of the palace." The Queen of Heaven no longer looked at Mingzhu, but reached out to pick up another book and opened it to read, and there was no other word.
Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he bowed again before retreating with Xu Siyan.
After sending Gu Mingzhu to the palace car, Xu Siyan quietly returned to the palace.
"Gone?" The queen of heaven looked at the music and said lightly.
Xu Siyan replied respectfully: "Yes, I have already gotten into the palace car and left the palace." ”
The queen sighed softly, but raised her head: "The Gu family has given me a problem." ”
Xu Siyan was a little puzzled, and said in a low voice: "But she wants to marry ......"
The queen of heaven chuckled, and her beautiful face was like a blooming peony: "No, she doesn't marry anyone, and she wants to enter the palace to be a female official for Anping." ”
Xu Siyan's eyes widened, and he looked at the queen of heaven full of disbelief: "Lady Gu, she wants to enter the palace to be a female official?" This ......"
Entering the palace as a female official is not a simple matter, every move in the palace must be carefully taken step by step, and a careless person may be doomed, not to mention the surging dark tide between the saint and the queen of heaven, no one in the palace is afraid, lest he become the next one to be sacrificed quietly, but Mrs. Gu wants to enter the palace.
It's just that she thought about it, but she quickly understood that this was the only choice Gu Mingzhu could make.
The Gu family has been swept in, and they have to make a choice, but no matter which side they choose, it is unpredictable, and the eldest lady Gu is even more difficult to protect no matter what, so she came up with such a method, she would rather enter the palace as a female official and stay by Princess Anping's side, so that the saint and the queen can rest assured, and they can also have a little more affection.
I have to say that this is a good move, and it is also a dangerous move, if this Gu lady does not have enough mind and city government, I am afraid that not long after entering the palace, she will become the next to be sacrificed, and it will even harm the Gu family.
Xu Siyan lowered his head with complicated eyes, and said softly: "How does Niang Niang decide?" Will it be gracious? ”
The queen sneered: "When I chose the crown princess in the past, I said that she is not a good candidate to be the princess. ”
Gu Mingzhu is too smart and thoughtful, the most rare thing is that she is ruthless enough, whether it is for others or for herself, in order not to marry into the palace, she dares to venture into the palace, she doesn't even want wealth and glory, such a person is not suitable for the princess, at least King Xian and King Xian can't control her, but it is easy to be controlled by her.
"If it weren't for the sage's side, I wouldn't have agreed to Erlang's marriage, and now it's a good thing that she is willing to enter the palace and stay by Anping's side, such a little lady is very rare, staying outside will teach me not to worry, just let her enter the palace, I want to see what she wants to do, if she dares to have other thoughts......"
The fierce color in the eyes of the queen of heaven made Xu Siyan's body tremble slightly, she understood best that the queen of heaven would never show mercy.
She hurriedly said: "The minister went to prepare an edict and summoned the eldest lady Gu into the palace to accompany the princess to read the female official." ”
The queen of heaven called her, and the killing intent between her eyebrows slowly disappeared: "Since she is willing to enter the palace as Anping's companion, I don't mind rewarding her with dignity." ”
"Follow me to the Taiji Temple, I want to face the saint."
Gu Mingzhu got out of the palace car, Gu Qing stepped forward, frowned and asked worriedly, "How is it?" What does the queen of heaven say? ”
Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "Father, go back to the house first, I think there will be an edict soon." ”
Gu Qing also knew that things in the palace were not so simple, so he sighed heavily and turned over on his horse: "Let's go, I'll send you back to Dongfu." ”
No matter what the result is, he has to plan to get up as soon as possible, the Gu family can't just overturn in the whirlpool.
It was only the father and daughter who arrived in front of the East Mansion, and saw that the house was in a mess, and they heard a noisy sound coming from a distance, and several servants and grandmothers who were guarding the door were so anxious that their faces turned pale, and they watched them come over and hurriedly greeted them: "The general and the lady are back, the old lady brought someone to the East Mansion, and forced Han Mama to take out the treasury keys and account books in the house, and there will be a lot of trouble!" ”
Gu Mingzhu's face suddenly turned cold, and after glancing at Gu Qing, Gu Qing's face suddenly became ugly, Gu Mingzhu didn't say much, turned over and dismounted and strode towards Dongfuli.
Gu Mingzhu also took Ah Bi and Xiao Kui to follow him.
“…… You slaves, you instigated the eldest lady to be cunning and bad in the past, and now you dare not hand over the things! Before entering the main hall, I heard the voice of Mrs. Gu inside, sharp and piercing, "Don't think that she can act recklessly if she marries the Chenliu Mansion and wants to be the princess of Chenliu, don't forget that she is still the lady of the Gu family, so she has to listen to my arrangement." ”
"The wealth in this house is all Gu family, even if you want to be a dowry, this dowry list should be my decision, which ones to send over and which to stay are not up to her, and she wants to empty out this house behind my back to make up for my mother-in-law's house! Don't even think about it! ”
Old Madam Gu's words reached the ears of the father and daughter outside the main hall, and Gu Mingzhu still didn't say a word, looking at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing's face turned red, she couldn't hold back any longer, and strode in: "Auntie, Hugh is going to mess around here!" ”
Old Madam Gu was taken aback by him, her face changed, she patted her chest and looked at him, stretched her face and said, "Da Lang, you're back!" Then let them quickly hand over the keys to the treasury and the account books in this house. ”
"Before, you just let her come to the house, she asked for the grace of the queen of heaven, the palace is afraid that it will be noticed, I just asked, but now she is going to marry to the palace of Chen Liu, how can the person who wants to marry take care of the affairs of the house, and the dowry should also be prepared by us for her, so naturally I should ask."
She glanced at Gu Mingzhu disdainfully: "If you want to marry into the palace and be a princess, you shouldn't be so ignorant of the rules, and dare to let these slaves stop you!" ”
Gu Qing's eyes were already red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Niang, don't talk nonsense, Mingzhu has nothing to do with King Chen Liu......"
Old Madam Gu interrupted him angrily: "You still want to hide it from me, King Xian can't get married, naturally she is going to marry to Chenliu Palace, I'm not confused, I know what you want to hide from me, isn't it because of this that she entered the palace today." ”
Gu Qing looked at Old Madam Gu's righteous appearance, and finally lost her patience, and shouted: "Come on, help the old lady back, the old lady is sick and confused, and no one from the West Mansion is allowed to come to the East Mansion without my orders in the future!" ”
Old Madam Gu almost jumped up, and pointed at the people around her: "Who dare, I see who dares, Da Lang, you are blinded by lard, and you actually help this scourge!" Don't even talk about the rules, are you trying to force me to death! Whoever dares to disobey me today will die here, and I would rather die than let this scourge empty the house!" ”
