CHAPTER XXXI

When he came to the gate of the palace, Gu Ning felt not only the vicissitudes of life, but also a kind of sadness, for the people inside and the women inside.

This is a huge cage, locked up by gentle hearts, after experiencing that time and time again, they have become insensitive, and they have become unrecognizable.

The eunuch next to him watched Gu Ning walk to the gate of the palace, stopped, and didn't urge her, after all, the little lady who entered the palace for the first time would be nervous and uneasy, and he had seen too much, and when he saw Gu Ning's expression clearly, he was shocked.

Is she pitying, who is she pitying?

Not envy, not uneasy?!

No wonder King Ning and the crown prince both looked at her differently, but they ...... Thinking of His Majesty, he sighed in his heart, in the past two years, His Majesty's body has become worse and worse, but that temperament is becoming more and more elusive, and only His Royal Highness King Ning can get close, even the crown prince...... Of course, these thoughts are just ideas, and it's not that he thinks he's lived too long, what should be said and what shouldn't be said, he still knows this truth after surviving in the palace for so long.

"Let's go......" Gu Ning first walked on crutches.

The eunuch looked at Gu Ning, although he was lame, but his back was still so straight, he could only think in his heart, he was also a poor person, but let His Majesty see the hateful place, and he didn't know if he could come out alive.

Sure enough, the shoulder was already prepared behind the door, Gu Ning didn't say anything, and he didn't let anyone help him, but he carefully went up and put the two crutches close to his body.

Walking within the palace walls, it is really different from the outside.

Three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, these people don't seem to have anything to affect them, they don't look at Gu Ning, they just do their own errands, but Gu Ning believes that if he really has any bad behavior, it is estimated that he will be able to splash blood on the spot immediately, and maybe he won't be able to find a complete piece of skin.

I walked all the way for half an hour, but there were only guards on the road, and I didn't meet anyone, it can be seen that the emperor has already passed the word, and this is good, the province himself still has to get up and salute, thinking that he will have to kneel down after a while, Gu Ning sighed secretly.

After waiting for the stop, she looked up and looked, the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, where the emperor lives?

Well, if they hadn't lived here, these people wouldn't have sent themselves here.

Resigned to his fate, he clutched the crutches in his hand tightly, because of nervousness, there was a trace of sweat in his palms, and he only heard the sound of wood hitting the floor, which made this silent palace have a trace of popularity, but it also seemed more empty and lonely.

"Your Majesty, that Gu Sanniang Gu Ning is already outside the door. Gong Hai whispered in the emperor's ear.

"Well...... "the Emperor closed his eyes, "let her in, give her a seat." ”

Gonggong Hai looked at the emperor and was a little surprised, this is not something that anyone can sit on, what does Your Majesty mean by this?

"Huh. The surprise was only for a moment, and he immediately returned to the grinding appearance of facial paralysis. "Xuan Gu's three mothers, Gu Ning, come to see you. ”

Pushing open the door, the inside was as dull as Gu Ning imagined, and he slowly walked to the emperor, put down the crutches in his hand, and made a big gift to the emperor. "Little girl, Gu Ning, knock on Your Majesty. “

The emperor opened his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Ning on the ground, and then turned his gaze away, "Get up, your legs are inconvenient, you can sit today." “

Gu Ning lowered his head and saluted again, "Your Majesty." “

Father-in-law Hai looked at the three ladies of the Gu family, and felt that the rumors were really unbelievable, this rumor and the person in front of him were simply two people, no wonder the capital was saying that Mrs. Gu couldn't tolerate the concubine born by the former lady. But he didn't speak, but stood behind the emperor like a wooden man.

"Do you know why I want you to enter the palace today?"

Always speak, since the person has already entered, then the emperor still has to ask in person what this little lady is capable of, although he is already disgusted with her in his heart.

"Because of the request of the two Highnesses, the marriage was granted. Gu Ning also simply, talking to a person who is used to going around in circles, he should not be embarrassed, it is better to be refreshed, he is not tired of what he says, and the emperor is not tired of listening.

"Heh, you're simply. The emperor chuckled lightly when he heard Gu Ning's answer. "Please forgive your majesty the innocence of the little girl. Gu Ning stood up, saluted, and sat down again, waiting for the emperor's answer.

"Oh?" the emperor is also a smart person, and he knows that Gu Ning has something to say, "I want to hear it, let's talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty thinks that the two Highnesses are asking for the sake of the little woman?

"Presumptuous!"

The emperor didn't speak, and the Gonggong Hai in the back couldn't listen anymore, is this Gu girl crazy?!

It is her blessing that the two highnesses can take a fancy to her, and they dare to speak like this, which royal child wants to marry a woman and still ask that woman's opinion? Even if it is the marriage of a commoner woman, it is also the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and I have never heard of my own decision, it is really ridiculous and ridiculous!

This woman seems to be well-behaved, but she is too bold!

Is this so that the emperor can't come down?

glanced at the emperor's face, there was nothing unusual, and Gonggong Hai did not speak again. But in his heart, he already felt that Gu Ning couldn't get out of this palace. The eyes that looked at her also became cold.

"Oh?" When the emperor heard Gu Ning's words, he didn't get angry, if it weren't for the fact that this woman was special, Hao'er wouldn't have taken a fancy to her, it seemed that she was really a little special. "You think you should ask for your opinion?"

Gu Ning looked up at the emperor, although the man was a little thin because of the torture of the disease, but the eyes were still looking at her brightly, Gu Ning did not evade, and replied, "Isn't it?"

The emperor was a little surprised to see that Gu Sanniang did not avoid his eyes, the little lady of an ordinary family was afraid that she was already frightened at this time, right? But she could still talk to herself, and she dared to look at herself. Interesting, really funny.

Gu Ning didn't know that the emperor's mind had changed, from hearing her disgust, to facing it squarely, to being interested.

In just such a moment, the emperor's opinion of Gu Ning was changed.

Of course, even if Gu Ning knew, he wouldn't care.

Whether she is disgusted or faced, it is not what she wants, she is just a weak woman, at most she is greedy for money, she is not an ambitious person, she just wants to be herself quietly.

But even this was not allowed in this dynasty.

"I know you've rejected the prince......"

"Which time is Your Majesty referring to?"

Gu Ning didn't believe that the emperor didn't know that the rejection of the marriage was her own action, and she wasn't so stupid to treat the emperor as a fool, so she had to ask clearly, so as not to become a fool herself.

"Haha......" the emperor looked at Gu Ning, "both times." But why? Isn't the prince good?"

Father-in-law Hai also looked at Gu Ning, wanting to see how she answered, the prince was the husband that the unmarried daughter of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty dreamed of, this Gu Ning dared to refuse, or twice, it was really fateful.
