Chapter 35: The Cheap Concubine Guards the Empty House

The teacup slammed on the table, and Yang Yi repeated coldly: "Don't marry if you die?" ”

"Yes!" Li Chenghuan did not hesitate.

As soon as the words fell, Yang Yi suddenly smiled coldly and said in a low voice: "Someone! Drag it out! ”

Gu Lanting's eyes froze, and he was about to speak, when the emperor suddenly high-fived and praised: "Not afraid of power, not afraid of the royal family, and courageous!" ”

He had seen a lot of courtiers who were only looking forward and backward, but it was the first time he had seen such a straightforward and clever woman. As a prosperous monarch, he didn't care that women were stronger than men. It's just that what surprised him was that this little general flag in front of him dared to refuse to be the prince's woman so categorically?

"You ......" the emperor's eyes showed a little interest: "Tell me, who is the man you like?" ”

Li Chenghuan bowed his hand and said frankly:

"Xinyang-kun!"

That's a terrible thing. The emperor's originally squinted eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say!" Xinyang-kun? Even the look in his eyes at Yang Yi was a little strange: "It turns out that what the prince said about Liang Zhuzhi actually refers to Xinyangjun??" ”

If he hadn't seen this woman brought in by the prince with his own eyes, he would almost suspect that Gu Lanting had specially arranged it - the embroidery clothes division did all the hard work, not to mention walking the streets and alleys with stars and moons, and often had to look at people's faces to survive, and the families who were a little pursuing were unwilling to have anything to do with this yamen, and how could the Gu family accept such a woman!?

So the emperor's eyes sank, and the determination of "I want to cut off your Gu family's career" suddenly came to his heart, he looked at Gu Lanting below, and snorted coldly: "This is the reason why you rejected Jianing?" ”

What the? Princess Jianing? Li Chenghuan chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

I dug a pit again and buried myself! She glared at the person diagonally above viciously, and scolded secretly: "Okay, you bastard, you have learned to use Lao Tzu to block arrows for you!!

And the bastard Gu Lanting knelt in his position with his back straight, ignoring the eyes that wanted to kill him, his face was as usual, and he responded to the emperor and said: "The minister said that she will be responsible for her to the end in this life." ”

Li Chenghuan is so angry, but as a leader in the nonsense industry, how can he be afraid? I saw her arch her hand, and she continued to say: "That's the case, Xinyang Jun has admired the lowly position for a long time, not only often invites the lowly to visit the Qujiang River together, but also writes a poem every day to the lowly position!" ”

Gu Lanting's face immediately couldn't hold back: "??? ”

The emperor was also shocked: "Every day? A poem? ”

Only Li Chenghuan had a serious face: "That's right! A total of one hundred and eighty poems were written, and he was impressed by his talent and sincerity, so he accepted his friendship! "Isn't it just making up nonsense? Who's afraid of whom!

"One Hundred and Eighty !!" The emperor was obviously frightened by this exciting news, and looked at Li Chenghuan and then Gu Lanting with wide eyes, with a complicated expression on his face, "Which of these two people is crazy", "I don't believe it", "This must be made out of nothing".

And Gu Lanting frowned slightly, and the meaning of "concern" was clearly written in his eyes: Are you okay?

I'm fine! Li Chenghuan laughed harmlessly, and even threw a wink at him, the whole person seemed to be surrounded by pink bubbles, and he swore with the affection of a husband and a wife who sang with the piano and Ming, and swore solemnly: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can read a sentence or two to you!" ”

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers and began to make up, "What 'shallow joy is like a dog, deep love is like a long wind'...... 'Acacia brews wine, memories are fried into tea', these are all forgotten, and what is even more terrifying is what is written'The bright moon shines on my bed, and the concubine guards the empty room'...... Oh, shame on you! He's not afraid of people's jokes, I'm still afraid! Isn't this Xinyangjun a humble gentleman? How could you write such a poem without shame or impatience! ”

Gu Lanting: "......"

The emperor squinted, could it be that this kid is usually not close to women? To fool me? When I thought about it like this, I suddenly became a little vigilant in my heart: Am I raising tigers for trouble?

The monarch is a high-risk profession, and even the most confident and enlightened monarch cannot avoid the dissenting thoughts of his courtiers.

Gu Lanting entered the palace at the age of seven, although the emperor put him by his side to hold the Gu family hostage, but in the end he was a young man who grew up watching him. The emperor suddenly felt a tightness in his chest: "I have cultivated you with my heart, and you actually use all this knowledge to write poems for women?" ”

Or else? Gu Lanting lowered his eyes, could it be used to deceive the temple dispute. Of course, Xinyangjun, who is used to hiding his heart, did not show this idea.

He was well aware of his usefulness to the emperor - he was a symbol of the gentleman of the Great Wei, a symbol of great power and talent, and a proof of the power of the Gu family.

The emperor cherished him, but he was also jealous of him. At any time, the meaning of his existence is to balance forces: the king and the minister, the father and the son, the court and the world.

He raised his eyes, and his eyes were clear: "The minister is worthy of His Majesty, and he is worthy of his own heart." ”

"So you risk your life to refuse the marriage I arranged for you?"

"Yes."

Hmph, the bastard kid is such a romantic style in private, the key is to show who is usually a decent gentleman's face? The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that he had been deeply deceived, and then said: "I shouldn't have asked who you want to marry, but Jianing is my favorite child, and she will be uncomfortable if this matter is not successful, and I can't see her being wronged......"

He said and made a flat gesture to Li Chenghuan, as if he had completely forgotten that he still wanted to break up this "marriage" a quarter of an hour ago: "In this way, Li Chenghuan, I now order you to calm Jianing's emotions until she accepts this result." Otherwise...... I've skinned you! ”

Li Chenghuan was speechless: What is a calf protector? Emperor this is! It was Gu Lanting who refused to marry, but she was the one who suffered?!!

It's not fair!

She took a step forward and was about to defend herself, when Yang Yi on the side suddenly opened her mouth leisurely, and her tone was weak and cold: "How can my father casually push people to Jianing's side?" This Li Chenghuan is Li Qianzhong's adopted apprentice, has his father forgotten the reason why this person resigned back then? ”

Li Chenghuan was stunned.

The emperor squinted slightly, and slowly a cold light appeared, and he raised his eyes and asked, "Li Qianzhong?" ”

"Exactly." Yang Yi responded, "Father, do you remember?" Li Qianzhong was the son-in-law of Chenglong personally selected by the old lady Gu, and later the young lady committed suicide before he passed the door, which angered Gu Chengzhang, who was the imperial historian at the time, and Li Qianzhong was forced to resign and leave the capital. ”

"I seem to remember. Li Qianzhong admitted that he was disheartened by this, so he asked to resign and return to his hometown. ”

The young lady they are talking about is Gu Lanting's aunt Gu Yuexin. This incident caused an uproar in the imperial capital that year, and finally ended with Li Qianzhong giving up his future.
