Chapter 34: If I am killed, I will not marry
It was time for dinner in the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs who served the emperor's meal served the dishes and handed the water, busy but orderly. However, the long procession stopped at the entrance of the temple.
At the end of the line, the little palace maid stretched her neck to take a look, caught a glimpse of the light in the hall, pulled the little eunuch next to her, and asked, "Hey?" Why doesn't Your Majesty have to eat? ”
"Shhhh His Majesty and Xinyangjun are angry. ”
"Angry with Xinyang-kun? Hasn't Your Majesty always held him in high esteem? ”
"Hey, who knows, be our errand, don't ask what you shouldn't."
Gu Lanting was kneeling in the hall at this time to tell the emperor the truth of "privately deciding to love", and the emperor only heard him say "The minister will be responsible for her in this life" and grabbed the chess jar and smashed it.
"What did the old scholars of the Hanlin Academy teach you? Have you read all the books in the dog's belly! "When a man is angry, he does not choose what to say, and the saints cannot avoid it. He said angrily: "You kid doesn't learn anything!" I just learned the literati's gear! ”
The black and white chess pieces were scattered all over the ground, Gu Lanting's back straightened, and he said unhurriedly: "Although the minister is defeated, he can't shame an innocent woman!" ”
Gu Lanting was in the palace when he was a child, and the emperor naturally had his little abacus: recruiting the best seedlings of the Gu family as a concubine, and since then he has cut off this kid's splendid career, and balanced the court situation without much effort, which is more wonderful than releasing military power with a glass of wine!
However, after all calculations, this stinky boy did not hesitate to destroy his reputation, but also to win a new world for the Gu family?! Okay, good Gu Lanting, I really underestimated you! It's just that you dare to be so shameless, and that girl also dares to be so shameless?
So, the emperor restrained his emotions, but his throat was like a fire, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of cold tea, and asked, "What is the origin of that girl?" ”
The court wants to marry the Gu family, but there are only a handful of people who can match the Gu family. When he said this, the emperor had already thought about it, as long as the family was not the Ministry of War and Punishment, he would have a way to make the girl retreat.
Who knows, Gu Lanting said: "This woman is from an ordinary background, an unknown person, not enough to mention." ”
The Emperor felt the fire rise again, and narrowed his eyes at the increasingly uncontrolled young man in front of him.
Everyone knows that the emperor is very fond of the Great Wei prodigy, not only giving him the throne without any merits, but also allowing him to enjoy the same treatment as the princes, and the price behind this is to keep the Gu family away from power.
And Gu Lanting seems to have been growing up according to what the emperor wants, cultivating both inside and outside, and having both ability and political integrity; Humble gentleman, gentle as jade. But in terms of attitude towards Jianing, he has always taken polite avoidance, which is good, and he has come directly to a private life!!
Who the hell is this stupid trick?!
The two of them confronted each other for a long time, and the emperor had confirmed that the kid in front of him was going to carry out the marriage resistance to the end, so he no longer showed mercy and said directly: "Whose girl is she?" ”
"Both parents are dead." Gu Lanting was unfazed.
The emperor thought that this was deliberately perfunctory, and opened his mouth to scold: "Bastard boy! If I want to embarrass her, do you think you can hide it? ”
"She is indeed the death of both parents, and she is not a big family." After thinking about it, he said, "She's just an ordinary girl." ”
"Oh? I don't know what kind of ordinary girl can make my gentleman mess up? "Since it's an ordinary background, it's much easier. The emperor waved his hand generously: "I want to meet her!" I give you a marriage! ”
At this time, the chamberlain suddenly announced: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Yi, who was dressed in a cyan robe, had already entered the palace: "The son of the emperor asks for peace to his father." As he spoke, he pulled the stunned person next to him, and commanded in a low voice, "Kneel." ”
Li Chenghuan, who was inexplicably brought into the palace, was looking down and thinking about how to get out, and when he heard this, he knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Li Chenghuan, the embroidery department, greets Your Majesty, long live the Five Emperors, long live Long live." ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Lanting suddenly raised his head: "??" ”
"Flat, give a seat." Seeing the crown prince, the emperor did not have the enthusiasm of father and son, but the indifference between the monarch and the minister, he glanced at Li Chenghuan behind Yang Yi, and was not ready to ask.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Chenghuan kowtowed in a proper manner.
An attendant helped her get up, and Li Chenghuan looked up and saw an old acquaintance with a delicate expression.
The face that has always been calm and calm on weekdays, at this time his eyebrows frowned slightly, Li Chenghuan read the puzzle of "how did you enter the palace with the prince" in his expression, at this time the prince had already sat down in the opposite position, Li Chenghuan hurriedly made a complex expression containing "I am so wronged", "he bullied me", "what should I do, please save me".
Gu Lanting had already closed his eyes.
"......" She opened her mouth before she could speak, and the prince had already spoken: "Father, the son has taken a fancy to a girl and wants to ask for his father's consent to be included in the East Palace as Liangdi." ”
“????” Li Chenghuan almost choked to death after taking a sip of tea: she thought that bringing her into the palace was to punish the crime, but she didn't expect that she was going to be included in the East Palace???
Why!!
The emperor smiled disapprerovingly: "Just a woman, the prince likes to accept it directly, and there is no need to report such a trivial matter in the future." ”
Gu Lanting paused.
The prince smiled faintly: "Erchen thinks so too." It's just that this woman is not an ordinary woman, I heard that this person has had a good relationship with someone, so the son thinks that he must show his father. He glanced at Gu Lanting next to him and said with a smile: "Erchen is afraid of taking people's love." ”
When these words came out, Gu Lanting didn't speak, and Li Chenghuan on the other side put down the teacup and stood up with a "bang".
"You know that you have to forcibly bring me into the East Palace? I already have a sweetheart, the sea is dry and the earth is falling apart, he doesn't want to marry, His Royal Highness doesn't think he is the prince, so he thinks that all women in the world want to like you? Let me tell you, the man I like is a humble gentleman, and I don't look down on a high-ranking prince like you! ”
Without saying a word, Yang Yi let people carry her into the carriage, and she shouted a few words and directly asked someone to gag her. Li Chenghuan held her breath all the way, compared to being punished, she felt that being included in the East Palace was the most terrible punishment. So she had the heart to tear her face with Yang Yi, a self-respecting and ruthless man like this, as long as he completely angered him, even if he knelt and begged, it would be impossible to give a good face, let alone keep her by his side.
Sure enough, Yang Yi's hand holding the tea paused slightly, and his eyes shot over like an ice blade: "What did you say?" ”
Li Chenghuan raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Your Highness understand?" Then I'll repeat it again - I said, the man I like is a humble gentleman, ten times a hundred times a thousand times better than you, the prince! A ruthless and high-minded man like you, I have no interest, no ideas, no possibility! If you kill me, I won't marry! ”
