Chapter 179: Marriage Grant and Divorce
Su Tang'an immediately set off to the palace to see Emperor Zhou, but was taken to the imperial garden by a confidant eunuch beside the emperor, and what she didn't expect was that Gu Tingjun was actually there.
"See Your Majesty. Su Tang'an glanced at Gu Tingjun fiercely, knelt down and asked Emperor Zhou for peace.
"Get up. Emperor Zhou said with a smile, "The holy decree of marriage should have arrived at the Qihou Mansion, right? You two children also have a good heart, but you entered the palace together to thank you? Why are you in such a hurry, it's not too late to come back tomorrow!"
Su Tangan didn't get up, looked at Emperor Zhou and said: "Tangerine An is here for this marriage, Tangerine hopes that His Majesty can take back his life, the courtiers and Gu Sangongzi are not suitable, and he will inevitably become a grudge in the future." β
"Your Majesty!" Gu Tingjun hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister thinks that the minister and the fifth miss are a pair made in heaven, and the minister loves Miss Su. β
Regarding what happened to Su Tang'an before, Emperor Zhou didn't know the inside story, he had long seen that Gu Tingjun was happy with Su Tang'an, and he had always valued this descendant very much, so he was naturally happy to see it, not to mention that now he was one of the young courtiers he relied on the most, so he naturally would not let him down.
And according to his observation, Su Tang'an should also like Gu Tingjun, the relationship between the two was quite harmonious before, why did she react like this today?
"Orange Ann, Thunder Jun is sincere, I believe he will treat you well in the future. If he dares to treat you badly, I will be the master for you, and I will not spare him. Emperor Zhou smiled slightly, "You guys get up first, don't kneel, it's cold on the ground." β
"If Your Majesty doesn't take back his fate, Tachibana won't get up. Su Tang'an knelt on the ground upright, and said with a stubborn expression.
Emperor Zhou was puzzled, thinking that maybe the two of them had a little emotion, but Su Ju'an's expression was too resolute, which made him puzzled: "Why don't you want to marry Tingjun? In my opinion, Tingjun is very outstanding in terms of family background and ability, and he is a rare good match." β
"The courtiers and Gu Sangongzi have different personalities, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do Qin Se and Ming in the future. Su Tang'an said, "Your Majesty once told your courtiers that the son of this family in the capital, no matter who it is, as long as the courtiers take a fancy to it, they will marry her courtiers, but this person is definitely not Gu Tingjun, I hope Your Majesty will see it." β
"Do you have a heart?" asked Emperor Zhou.
Su Ju'an lowered her eyes and said: "The courtiers don't dare to bully the king, the courtiers don't have a sweetheart now, but the courtiers are very clear that they don't want to marry Gu Tingjun!"
"This ......" Emperor Zhou was embarrassed, "one of the two of you asks for marriage, and the other doesn't want to marry, which makes me very embarrassed."
"Your Majesty's golden mouth, do you still have to take back this holy decree after it has gone down?" Gu Tingjun said, "And Your Majesty has long promised the minister, as long as the minister is willing to enter the court as an official, he will give Tang An a marriage to the minister, and now the minister is as His Majesty said, serving His Majesty, can Your Majesty still be able to speak and count?"
Su Tang'an looked at Gu Tingjun and sneered, and said, "Gu Sangongzi has not forgotten the rules of Ziwei Palace, as a heavenly maiden, as a disciple of the master, I can serve the gods for life without marrying." β
Gu Tingjun was slightly stunned, his eyes rolled slightly, and he clenched his fists and said: "Today's matter is indeed very difficult for Your Majesty, Your Majesty may wish to give us a little time, let us discuss!"
Emperor Zhou nodded: "This marriage is related to your whole life, I don't want to mess with mandarin ducks, the two of you discuss it yourself, I still have important things to deal with, when you discuss it, come to the imperial study to find me!"
Emperor Zhou left, Su Tang'an got up and glanced at Gu Tingjun coldly, and said coldly: "You are too despicable!"
"Where am I despicable?" Gu Tingjun said, "I just want to marry the woman of my heart." β
"Die hard, I won't marry you. Su Juan said coldly.
"Aren't you looking for Li Changlong for revenge?" Gu Tingjun tempted, "I can help you." Whatever you want to do, I can do it for you. β
"I'll take care of my affairs myself, and I don't need you to meddle with them. Su Tang'an said lightly.
"Do you solve it yourself?With your ability, is it possible to shake Li Changlong's position?" Gu Tingjun sneered, "Even if you used to be the most outstanding killer, but Li Changlong's side is full of masters, how can you succeed?" Besides, your current identity is Su Tang'an, even if you really succeed, then the Su family will not be able to escape the fate of being punished by the Nine Clans, and with your temperament, it will affect the Su family?
"What are you doing?"
"I'm helping you analyze the problem now, don't be angry!" Gu Tingjun said, "And if Li Changlong knows that you know a lot of secrets about the Rakshasa Hall, what do you think he will do?"
"You threaten me?" Su Juan frowned slightly.
"Li Changlong will definitely kill you desperately. Gu Tingjun said, "Tang An, whether it is Qihou Mansion or Ziwei Palace, they can't protect you, only I can protect you, so you can marry me." β
"Hehehe!" Su Tang'an laughed self-deprecatingly, "What is there on me that deserves such fanfare?"
"I want you as a person. Gu Tingjun looked into her eyes and said seriously, "You don't believe me now, but I have a lifetime for you to accept me." β
"Am I?" Su Juan sat down and laughed coldly, "Since you know my identity, then you should know that I am probably not a person, I don't know what I should do, I am just a walking corpse, and the purpose of life is just revenge." β
"I don't care. Gu Tingjun said, "Since I have guessed your identity, I must have thought it through, as long as you can be by my side." Tachibana, I'm not a decent gentleman, don't force me to use some means, if I can use those means that make us all miserable to keep you by my side, I will not hesitate to do it. When I say it, I can do it. Tang An, you used to be a killer, but you didn't achieve the cold-blooded ruthlessness of a killer, you still have affection, so you have a lot of weaknesses, including that Qin Mo. β
Su Tang'an slowly tightened his fists and gritted his teeth.
"I don't want to force you too tightly, how about we take a step back?" Gu Tingjun said, "You don't want to die or live to get married, and I won't be in a hurry to marry you, let's keep this state, for a period of one year, if I can't let you marry me willingly, I will mention the divorce to Your Majesty." β
"Half a year. β
"Deal. Gu Tingjun couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Right now, you are my rightful fiancΓ©e." β
Su Tang'an raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Tingjun coldly, punched him hard, and then kicked him in the abdomen.
Gu Tingjun covered his stomach, but the smile on his face did not decrease, and said, "Let's go to Your Majesty and tell him our decision, he will definitely be very happy." β
Su Tang'an turned around indifferently and left first, Gu Tingjun followed behind happily, and said with a smile: "Don't go so fast, you can't wait to tell Your Majesty about our good things, right?"
Su Tang'an swept over with a cold eye, Gu Tingjun made a silent gesture, but he couldn't hide his happy expression, he quickly followed, and said: "I know a newly opened restaurant, the chef's Hangzhou cuisine is a must, let's go and try it together tomorrow." By the way, don't you like to listen to excerpts? How about I set up a stage in Huainan Wangfu and invite the troupe from Lixiangyuan? By the way, do you like to listen to literary opera or martial arts? I don't think we know enough about each other's preferences...... Okay, don't stare at me, I won't say it, so will we have dinner together tomorrow?"
"If you want to eat, eat it yourself. β
"That's not possible, I have a fiancΓ©e, what's the point of eating alone. Gu Tingjun said reluctantly, "If you don't want to go to the restaurant, you might as well come to Huainan Wangfu tomorrow, my father has always wanted to meet you, and a chef in our palace who makes Sichuan cuisine is also very good." β
"If you say more, our previous agreement will no longer be counted. Su Juan said coldly, "Also, you'd better stay away from me, I don't want to see you, I don't want to hear your voice, anyway, after half a year, we will never have any relationship, but if you threaten me with my identity again after half a year, I will not let you go." β
Gu Tingjun didn't continue to talk with a dead face, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the road is long, and he has to continue to work hard!
Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun told Emperor Zhou about getting along for another half a year, and Emperor Zhou said when he heard this: "This marriage is related to your life, since it is your own decision, then so be it." However, this marriage event is not child's play, and the two of you should not act mischiefly on the basis of my favor for you, and you must be responsible for your own lifelong events. β
Then Su Tang'an sternly rejected Gu Tingjun's request to send her back to the Qihou Mansion, and went back by himself to receive the holy decree of marriage.
The rest of the Qihou Mansion was not too surprised by this marriage, and as soon as Gu Tingjun stopped at the gate of the Qihou Mansion, he had already told everyone about his relationship with Su Tang'an.
The old lady and Su Liu's hearts couldn't help but worry, Su Cheng'an's back was not only Ziwei Palace, if she married into the Huainan Palace, she was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with in the future, and the most feared thing was that she would investigate the cause of her mother's death, so that it would harm the entire Qihou Mansion.
Su Hongguang didn't have much to say about this marriage, first, Gu Tingjun's approach would indeed make Tang An have a knot with him, and I am afraid that this knot will not be untied for a while, and the two of them are stiff, but I am afraid that there will be no happiness at all. However, on the other hand, today's Gu Tingjun is deeply respected by His Majesty, and he has been involved in military and politics in a short period of time, as if he is a rising upstart, a big man in the future, and a powerful protector for Tang An.
Su Zixuan came to Lingyue Pavilion and asked, "Your Majesty does not agree to withdraw the holy decree?"
Gu Tingjun was also there at that time. Su Tang'an said, "But we have a six-month contract, if I still don't want to marry him after half a year, he will take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage." β
"Why do you have such a strange agreement with him?" Su Zixuan asked, with Tang An's temperament, this kind of compromise method would definitely not be proposed by her.
"I have my reasons, but it's only half a year, and it's gone in the blink of an eye. Su Tang'an said, "Big brother, you and Gu Tingjun are both young talents that His Majesty relies on at the moment, and there will inevitably be a lot of cooperation in the future. β
"This is a state affair, and I know it in my heart. However, you also have to pay attention, and if you have this agreement, it must have been carefully considered, and I, as your brother, will naturally listen to your opinion. Su Zixuan said.
In the new year, some of the young people secretly cultivated by Emperor Zhou before will finally slowly emerge, and the political situation of the Great Zhou will usher in a great change.
