Chapter 239: The Fox (1st Update)
In Li Yu's eyes, Gu Mingzhu is already in the bag, and the news released in the palace before let the whole Chang'an know that Gu Mingzhu is going to marry into the Xianwang Mansion, if the Gu family wants to make another choice in the future, it will inevitably be criticized, and today's Gu Mingzhu's palace clothes, everyone can see that it is given by the palace, and the meaning of this is self-evident.
At this point, if Gu Mingzhu wants to make another choice, that is, to completely push the Gu family to the opposite side of the Queen of Heaven faction, Gu Qing will not take such a big risk.
He looked at Gu Mingzhu's faintly angry face, and his heart was even more excited, full of joy, even after listening to the words of the maidservant to review Mingzhu's refusal, he was not angry, smiled and raised a glass to drink with the king Li Mi, and let this little lady make a temperament again, and after the wedding in the East Palace, she had to obediently go to the palace to receive the edict and follow the rules to be a virtuous princess.
When the saint and the heavenly queen came, the temple was brushed and bowed, and even the vassal kings and envoys stood up and saluted, which was a sign of respect for the heavenly kingdom.
The sage sat down at the upper seat and smiled at King Gaochang on the side: "Sit down, let you see my sons today." ”
He pointed to the princes sitting on the side: "Prince, you have already seen it." ”
King Gaochang hurriedly got up and saluted the prince: "Longzhang Fengzi, the little ministers are obedient." ”
The prince heard his praise with some tones, smiled smugly, and nodded: "King Gaochang has won the award." ”
The sage glanced at the prince lightly, and saw him sitting calmly on the table and receiving the salute of King Gaochang, his eyes were even deeper, and then he turned his head to look at the other side: "This is King Chen Liu, you have also seen it in the Eastern Capital." ”
King Gaochang was also smiling, busy and saluting: "I've seen it, it's extraordinary, how can the minister forget." ”
Chen Liuwang got up and saluted back, with a gentle smile: "King Gaochang is too awarded." ”
Looking at King Chen Liu, the sage finally showed a smile and turned to look at Li Yu and Li Mi: "This is King Xian and King Xian, and they are also my sons. ”
Li Yu's heart sank, but his face was not visible at all, and his smile was like a spring breeze, and he got up politely: "Yu is polite." ”
Li Mi is an upright person, and he can't see the dark tide surging here, and he also smiled heartily: "Mi is polite." ”
King Gaochang saluted Li Mi, nodded and smiled very humbly: "It is really a great honor for the ministers to meet a few highnesses. ”
It's just that when he looked at Li Yu, his eyes widened, and he didn't take his eyes off for a long time, and said again and again: "It's really a dragon and a phoenix among people, a dragon and a phoenix among people, and the minister doesn't dare to disagree." ”
As he spoke, he was about to go to the temple and bow again.
The saint couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing here, isn't it that you have been exempted from the ceremony." ”
King Gaochang smiled, bowed again and again, and pressed one hand on his chest to salute: "The minister today asks the saint to promise a grace and bless my Gaochang people with the love of the Heavenly Empire." ”
He looked solemn, and he brought it up again at the time of the wedding in the East Palace, and the saint also smiled slightly on his face, and looked at him solemnly: "What do you want?" ”
In the surprised eyes of everyone, King Gaochang actually bowed solemnly and said loudly: "The ministers have come to Middle-earth from Gaochang these days, and they have seen the beauty of the Heavenly Dynasty all the way. The minister has a daughter, Princess Gina, who has never promised to marry at the age of fifteen, and is willing to send Chang'an and relatives to show my sincerity in Gaochang. ”
He smiled and looked at Li Yu, whose face had changed slightly: "The minister has long heard that His Royal Highness King Xian has never been married, it is really suitable, it is very suitable!" ”
Is this to marry Princess Gao Changguo to King Xian and his relatives?
For a while, the people in the hall were all taken aback when they looked at King Gaochang's smiling face, which was so modest and kind.
The saint and the queen of heaven were also stunned for a while, and the queen of heaven changed her face even more, and looked at King Gaochang: "Does King Gaochang want to send the princess to Chang'an and his relatives?" ”
King Gaochang nodded again and again, and bowed to the queen of heaven: "The minister has admired the elegance of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, if it is the blessing of Gaochang to marry Princess Gina into Chang'an, and it can also conclude a good relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang for ten thousand years. ”
Li Yu's face finally sank completely, he looked at the smile on King Gaochang's face, but the resentment in his heart was surging, he forcibly endured his anger and showed a smile: "King Gaochang is very loving, Yu is ashamed and dare not be, but Yucai is afraid that it is ......."
Before he could say anything to refuse, King Gaochang had already smiled affectionately: "His Royal Highness King Xian is too humble, the elders and young are still talented, His Royal Highness is the best candidate, and the minister really has nothing else to ask for." ”
He turned to the saint and the queen of heaven and bowed down again: "I hope that the saint will be perfected." ”
There was a faint smile between the saint's eyebrows at this time, but he didn't agree, and glanced at the queen who was sitting on the side with a somewhat ugly face, and then said: "The matter is serious, and it will be decided after the discussion of the Ministry of Rites later." ”
King Gao Chang sat down with a smile.
It's just that the faces and thoughts of everyone in the hall are very different, although the saint has not yet given permission, but King Gaochang so solemnly raised this matter on such an occasion, it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries of Tang and Gaochang, I am afraid it is difficult to refuse, so the only person who King Xian wants to marry is the princess of Gaochang?
Many people's eyes swept to Gu Mingzhu here, with some sarcasm and schadenfreude, after all, it was rumored that Gu Mingzhu was going to marry into the Xianwang Mansion, and now the position of the Xian princess was cut off like this, no wonder they were all waiting to see Gu Mingzhu's jokes.
It's just that what disappointed them was that Gu Mingzhu still sat calmly on the seat, without the slightest disappointment and sadness, and laughed a few words with Cen Liuniang, only showing a little surprise when his eyes swept over King Gaochang, is this a coincidence?
There is another person who is also suspicious, Cui Yi stared at the scene just now, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, just when King Xian was about to marry the Gu family, there was such a scene, which was too much of a coincidence.
He suddenly remembered the smallpox gluttony in Xiaoyuan's hand that day, suddenly came back to his senses, and turned his head to look at Cui Lin: "Fifth brother, it's you ......"
It must not be wrong, King Gaochang has been low-key since he came to Chang'an, and has never had any dealings with the royal family, but just a few days ago, his five brothers went to Taipingfang, and then today there is a matter of King Gaochang wanting to marry a daughter and relatives, but he also made up his mind to want King Xian, and he ruined the plan of the Queen of Heaven and King Xian.
In this way, King Xian not only couldn't marry Gu Mingzhu, couldn't form an alliance with the Gu family, but also married a foreign woman as a princess, which was really a big loss.
No wonder his fifth brother was so unhurried and unconcerned before, it turned out that he had already had a way to deal with it.
Sure enough, it's a cunning and black-bellied fox!
