Chapter 35: Marriage Changes
When he heard that she had just recovered from the cold, he eagerly rushed to the Guogong Mansion to find her, wanting to take her to Tianxiang Pavilion to eat the signature dish.
Unexpectedly, he pounced, and heard Uncle Zhong say that she had received Yunyang's post and came to Ziyang Mountain to step on the spring, and he immediately rushed over.
finally found her, and saw her fall shyly and timidly in the arms of Lao Qi!
How does this make him not angry?
After a long time, just when Gu Mingyu's anger reached a peak, Su Jinli, who came back to his senses, said lightly: "Fang is an accident, His Royal Highness the Seventh is here to save me."
After a pause, she looked at Gu Mingyu's eyes and said seriously: "I never lie, Ninth Brother you know."
Gu Mingyun looked at her for a long time, and seeing that her eyes were calm, and she was indeed a non-lying person, her anger immediately subsided.
It's just that her face is still gloomy, although it was an accident, but it is true that she nestled in Gu Mingjue's arms and did not resist.
Su Jinli was familiar with the temperament of the person in front of her, so she immediately said: "I was a little sluggish because I was frightened, so I will let His Highness the Seventh help me!"
Hearing this, the coldness in Gu Mingjue's eyes finally retreated, but he muttered in his heart whether she and Gu Mingjue had a personal relationship.
But he thinks very highly of himself, and he and Su Jinli's childhood sweetheart did not get to the bottom of it, and quickly changed the topic.
After that, Su Jinli was patient and endured nausea, accompanied Gu Mingyu along the stream, and then went back to the pavilion and returned to the house with Su Jinxiu.
……
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in the evening, Su Jinli, who was dressed up, went to the palace to attend the Lantern Festival dinner with everyone in Ningguo's mansion.
She has been laughing since she got into the carriage, which made Su Jinxiu, who was traveling in the same car, look around frequently, and she didn't know it.
When she smirked for the sixteenth time, Su Jinxiu finally couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart and asked, "Sister, why are you so happy?" Is there a happy event? ”
Su Jinxiu had been staying in the pavilion that day, and she didn't know that Su Jinli had made a relationship with Gu Mingjue.
"Huh? What did you say? Hearing this, Su Jinli raised her head suspiciously.
She had just been immersed in the joy of being about to make a marriage contract with Mingjue, and she had never heard what Jinxiu said.
Seeing her like this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Su Jinxiu's eyes, and she repeated: "I asked my sister why she was so happy, but there was a happy event?"
Hearing this, the smile on Su Jinli's face became even bigger, and his bright eyes were full of joy, and he said with a little shame: "At the dinner later, Your Majesty will marry the adult prince, the children of the clan and the nobles of the noble family."
Su Jinxiu was slightly stunned, and then laughed, and teased: "Then Xiu'er will first congratulate my sister on finding a good son-in-law!"
If it was only His Majesty who gave her sister to marry herself, she would not be so happy, and she was overjoyed naturally because the object of marriage was her sweetheart!
I have to say that Su Jinxiu is very smart, but she analyzed the truth in an instant.
Although she has lived for two lifetimes, where did the marriage come from, Su Jinli still felt panicked, and hurriedly said: "Xiu'er! Don't make fun of me! ”
"Hahaha! My sister was shy, so my sister didn't talk about it! Having said that, Su Jinxiu kept laughing while holding the handkerchief.
Su Jinli glanced at her helplessly and ignored her, silently outlining the beautiful scene of marrying Ming Jue again in her heart.
Because of the happy mood, I felt that the long distance in the past was too short, Su Jinli thought when the carriage stopped.
After getting out of the carriage, she smiled, took the shelf of the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, and went to the Renle Hall where the banquet was held nobly and coldly.
When they arrived, most of the royal family members had not yet arrived, so they walked directly to their places and sat down under the guidance of the palace people.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Emperor Yongli came with the Queen Mother and all the royal family members in the support of the palace maids and eunuchs.
All the courtiers and their families knelt down and bowed, and recited in their mouths: "Wechen (courtiers, courtiers, courtiers) knock to see the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
Their voices were deafening.
Emperor Yongli's majestic dragon eyes looked straight ahead, and solemnly walked down under the dragon chair in the center of the head and sat down.
The rest of the people also hurriedly sat down according to their status, and then Emperor Yongli lowered his head slightly, looking at the person who knelt on the ground.
"All the ministers are flat!" A peaceful and majestic voice resounded through the hall.
Everyone bowed again and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
After that, he quickly got up and sat down.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, don't talk about state affairs, no matter whether you are humble or humble. I salute Zhuqing for a cup, may my Dayan country prosper and the people be happy! ”
Emperor Yongli held up his Nine Dragons and said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and raised their glasses and echoed: "May God bless me with the peace of the Great Yan Kingdom!"
"!" Emperor Yongli held the Nine Dragons high, clinked glasses with everyone in the air, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The rest of them were like him.
After drinking, Emperor Yongli ordered the palace people to pour a cup of wine.
"This cup respects the secretaries, and I hope that the secretaries will be as loyal to the country and the people as they used to be this year!" He said.
"The ministers should remember His Majesty's holy words, and they must go all out to serve the country wholeheartedly!" The crowd responded.
Then the monarch drank a second cup together.
Soon, the palace people refilled the third glass of wine for Emperor Yongli.
This time, Emperor Yongli changed his previous solemn appearance and said with a smile: "The first two glasses of wine are for the people of the community, and this third cup of wine, I respect all of you, I hope you are in good health and your family is healthy!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" The ministers hurriedly thanked them.
Then the monarch and the ministers drank the third glass of wine together.
"Let's have a feast!" Emperor Yongli announced with a smile, and then took the lead in moving the jade chopsticks, and then everyone started one after another.
"You don't need to be restrained, just treat it as a family feast." It should be that the atmosphere is slightly cold, and the Queen Mother smiled and spoke.
The crowd replied, "Yes!"
After that, the musicians who had been arranged first began to play music, and the graceful dancers began to stretch their slender waists.
Although the palace banquet has always been a delicacy of plum wine, there are few people who actually eat and drink, and most of them are chatting with the emperor to please him.
Su Jinli was bored and pulled the shark fin in front of her, leisurely listening to her grandfather and the hundred officials.
In this way, after changing a few tunes in the hall and retreating a few waves of dancing girls, most of the banquet passed.
Everyone gradually became excited, listening to the elegant sound of silk and bamboo and the soft dance, and felt a little drowsy.
Emperor Yongli's bottomless dragon eyes took in everyone's situation, and he suddenly smiled: "Every year, there are countless lovers outside the palace of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and I will take advantage of the situation to order a mandarin duck spectrum today!" ”
Hearing this, everyone's fatigue disappeared, and they immediately sat up and pricked up their ears, for fear that they would miss something.
Especially the meritorious people of the noble family who have already married and are suitable for marrying several princes in the family are even more breathless and nervous.
After all, Emperor Yongli would not casually order mandarin duck scores, and the only people who could get him Chrysostom to marry were the princes under his knees and the children of the holy family.
The ladies of the family were also nervously pinching their handkerchiefs and waiting for the following, and even Su Jinli, who had already experienced and knew everything, was a little more nervous for no reason.
Under the watchful eye of everyone, Emperor Yongli cleared his throat and said with a smile: "There are eight emperors of the right age under my knees who have never been married, as a father, I will choose a mate for them first!" I hope you don't blame! ”
"Your Majesty is serious, this is as it should be!" Regardless of whether they had an opinion in their hearts, everyone on the face answered in unison.
"The young and the old are orderly, I will start with the third son!" Emperor Yongli said again.
Hearing this, everyone is looking forward to it more and more.
"Lin Shilang's eldest daughter Wanqi Xiuya is cute, and she gave the third son of the emperor, Ming Yan, as a side concubine!"
Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised, and deliberately waited, but Emperor Yongli still didn't say anything, and they muttered in their hearts.
Why did His Majesty only choose a scholarly side concubine for the third prince?
In their doubts, Gu Mingyan and Lin Wanqi stood up at the same time and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”
Although she was only a side concubine, Lin Wanqi still had a smile on her face, while Gu Mingyan reacted ordinarily.
Emperor Yongli waved his hand and let them get up, and then he pointed out the main concubine and the side concubine for the fourth prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince respectively.
The candidates are all the same as in her previous life, so Su Jinli is not too concerned, she is only waiting for the emperor to announce her marriage to Mingjue at the moment.
However, she waited for a long time before Emperor Yongli could speak, she quietly raised her head and looked up, but met all the thoughtful eyes of Emperor Yongli.
And Gu Mingyu, who was sitting not far from the lower left of Emperor Yongli, looked at her affectionately.
She suddenly felt a chill down her spine, the joy and anticipation in her heart were all gone, and a bad premonition suddenly filled her heart.
Just when she was flustered, Emperor Yongli, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Where is Miss Su Jinli of the Ningguo Mansion?" ”
Su Jinli frowned, and then hurriedly got up and lowered her eyes and responded: "The courtier Su Jinli is here!" ”
"You come forward." Emperor Yongli said again, his voice was extremely calm, and he couldn't hear joy or anger at all.
But this is the kind of unclear meaning, but it made Su Jinli and the entire Ningguo Mansion suddenly raise their hearts to their throats.
Emperor Yongli directly gave marriage to whomever he wanted, and he directly decreed with a smile, and he had never summoned anyone like this.
This time it will definitely not be for no reason to order her to come forward!
Su Jinli's mind was heavy, and he walked step by step with difficulty to kneel down three meters away from Emperor Yongli.
Emperor Yongli continued to indifferently order: "You raise your head. ”
Hearing this, the cold sweat on Su Jinli's palms was a little more, but he still raised his head as he said.
Emperor Yongli's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Su Jinli carefully.
After a long time, Emperor Yongli withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and said without joy or anger: "She was born bright and stunning, but she is a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color." ”
It was obviously a word of praise, but Su Jinli's heart jumped when she heard it, she was afraid that she would not be good today!
Although it is not clear why, with the humble and courteous Gu Mingyun in the past, he blatantly showed such obvious admiration to her, she can conclude that Emperor Yongli must be inseparable from Su Guifei's mother and son when he treats her like this!
"How can I praise you for your beauty, but your face suddenly turns pale?" Yongli Emperor Long's eyes were slightly raised, and he was slightly displeased.
Su Jinli, who was in a trance, heard that Emperor Yongli suddenly attacked, and immediately broke into a cold sweat and didn't know how to respond.
