Jing and Emperor still didn't speak, Jiang Xueru's face was pale and shaky. His eyes looked at the prince with fear and hope.

The prince's face was in a trance for a moment, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Father, son, ......"

Jing and Emperor waved his hand to stop him, and the scene was silent for a while.

I don't know why, in this situation, Lu Jingshu was a little stunned for a while. looked at Shen Mingjiao, who looked at her, and couldn't help but shrink behind her.

From her point of view, she just caught a glimpse of Jiang Xueru's smile flashing at the corner of her mouth after hearing the prince speak.

She clenched her fists angrily,

This shameless woman!

Looking at the pale and painful prince again, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy and anger that the other party was calculated.

Just when the atmosphere in the hall became more and more silent, Gonggong Li walked in.

"Your Majesty, the servant has ordered someone to check, there is no problem with the incense used in the palace, the prince went to that palace on a temporary basis, and Miss Jiang accidentally fell down and soiled her dress when climbing the rockery......"

All clues believe that all this is just a coincidence. The prince was drunk, and Jiang Xueru just happened to break in.

After listening to this, Emperor Jing and Emperor couldn't see the expression of "um", and did not continue to ask, but looked at the prince:

"Qi Yu, what are you going to do?"

The prince glanced at Jiang Xueru, took a deep breath, and said, "Everything starts because of Erchen, and Erchen is willing to be responsible and marry Miss Jiang......"

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Jing and Emperor interrupted him again. "Well, as a man, it's good to know how to be responsible."

The father and daughter of the Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but be excited in their hearts, but they listened to Jing and the emperor continue:

"However, as a concubine, Miss Jiang's status is lower after all, for the sake of Jiang Aiqing's hard work for the court, she can barely be a prince and a good lady."

When it came to "hard work and high achievement", a coldness crossed Emperor Jinghe's eyes, and after speaking, he looked at Master Jiang lightly:

"What does Jiang Aiqing think?"

Facing the deep gaze of Shang Jing and Emperor who couldn't see emotions, Lord Jiang's heart jumped, and he realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.

But it had come to this point, and he had to go to the end. "Everything is up to Your Majesty."

As long as his daughter can marry into the East Palace, the prince is a long-term lover, even if he can't be the prime minister this time, he will still have a chance when the prince ascends the throne in the future.

Emperor Jing He nodded, and immediately ordered someone to draft a decree.

Jiang Xueru was a little disappointed in her heart, thinking that she had worked so hard. At least I can be sealed.

But it doesn't matter, there are no other concubines in the East Palace, and when she enters the mansion, as long as she envelops the prince, there will be opportunities in the future.

Now that the matter was over, Emperor Jing and Emperor stood up and motioned to a few people what they should do.

Lu Jingshu looked at all this, she had always been vicious and hateful, she really gritted her teeth with hatred.

When the two of them staggered by, Jiang Xueru turned her head and showed a faint smile at her, as if the victor was provocative and showing off.

If it weren't for the presence of the emperor and queen in front, Lu Jingshu couldn't help but rush forward and beat people up.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the prince, but saw that the prince was looking at the void blankly, his face was pale, and his expression was painful and lonely.

Sometimes this kind of melancholy boy is the most attractive to the ignorant little girl.

The prince seemed to sense that she was looking at him, and raised his head and pulled his lips at her.

I don't know why, looking at such a prince, Lu Jingshu's mouth was inexplicably sour, and she only felt that if she could make the other party show her face, she could do whatever she wanted.

She even unilaterally determined that Jiang Xueru was the ghost of everything, and the prince was just innocently designed.

At this moment, a bold idea suddenly popped into her.

She wants to save this man, she wants to be the crown princess.

Shen Mingjiao on the side didn't notice her strange appearance, but frowned, looking thoughtful.

She thought about everything about tonight in her head, even though it seemed plausible. But she always felt a little disobedient.

In normal times, she has always been too lazy to mix in this kind of thing that has nothing to do with herself. But now Shuo'er lives in the palace,

She couldn't help but think about everything more.

……

The group walked out of this palace room, Lu Jingshu fell to the end, and waited for the emperor and queen to walk away.

She hurriedly walked a few steps to her father, General Lu, pulled the corner of his robe, and called "Daddy" sweetly.

General Lu was born with five big and three thick, which is a typical military general. The daughter who was held in the palm of her hand was so coquettish, and the old father's heart suddenly melted.

But I still have to work hard to cough lightly with a straight face: "Speak well, what do you want?" Declare in advance, the money is in your mother's hands. ”

Lu Jingshu pursed her lips: "Look at what you said, Dad, I can't just miss you!" ”

General Lu glanced at his daughter: "Say, what the hell is going on." ”

Lu Jingshu rubbed her face uncomfortably: "That...... Daddy doesn't think your daughter is old and it's time to get married! ”

General Lu raised his eyebrows, and looked at her with some novelty: "You have finally opened your mind, tell me, which Langjun is it!" ”

As he spoke, he unconsciously planned: "Don't be an intricate high-ranking family, with your temperament, there will be no scum left to be eaten." If the status is not high, let's see if we can let people in, it doesn't matter what the child's surname is, we have to be comfortable......"

He was talking to himself, and he even thought of the name of his grandson in the future.

Lu Jingshu interrupted him coldly: "I want to marry the crown prince." ”

"What do you say......"

General Lu directly bit his tongue in shock, and the pain made him bared his teeth.

But he couldn't care about this, and cautiously tested: "Good girl! You...... What kind of fuss are you doing! ”

Lu Jingshu stared at her father: "I'm serious." ”

General Lu inhaled cold air again and again:

"Oh no! Listen to me, if you really like the prince, when you go back, your father will help you find ten or eight, but... You and the prince ...... You two are really not suitable! ”

Lu Jingshu didn't care, and said in a firm tone: "I'm going to marry the prince, I'm ...... I like him. ”

General Lu stared at the emperor and queen who had gone and returned. Desperately signaled to her daughter to stop talking.

Lu Jingshu naturally couldn't comprehend the collapse of his father's heart, all he thought about was the gentle and smiling handsome face, as well as the melancholy and loneliness in his eyes, and the words he said couldn't help but be more firm:

"I really like him, daddy, can you go and talk to the prince? Ask him if he would like to marry me, and I will be very good to him. ”

Behind him, the emperor and queen looked at each other, and the prince was in place in disbelief. Shen Mingjiao was also full of surprise.

Obviously, not long ago, Lu Jingshu had no interest in the prince at all. She couldn't understand what Lu Jingshu had experienced in a short period of time, so that this girl's attitude had changed so much.

But it was useless to think about it now, lest the girl be saying something shocking, she coughed heavily,

"Hey, why is Miss Lu here!"

Lu Jingshu paused, turned his head, and saw the emperor and the crown prince. She has always been heartless and thick-skinned, and her face suddenly turned red.

But the straightforwardness and boldness in her bones made her calm in an instant, and she turned her head to look at the prince generously:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, since you have heard it just now, then let me ask again, I want to marry you as your wife, I don't know if Your Highness is willing!"

Such direct and bold words, even a man, may not be able to say.

General Lu touched his nose in embarrassment, and stepped forward to plead guilty to Jing and Emperor Gong:

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, but there is no way for your ministers and daughters."

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, Ling Ai is a true temperament, there are not many children in this world who are as straightforward and clear as Ling Ai." ”

General Lu's heart sank,

"That ......"

"However......" Jing and Emperor changed his tone and said: "Although Miss Lu is innocent and lively, she is not very suitable for the crown prince, and she will not feel comfortable entering the palace if she wants to." ”

General Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "What Your Majesty said is very true, Weichen will definitely restrain her after she goes back." ”

The queen on the side couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she saw Jing and the emperor refusing, compared to Jiang Xueru or Su Tian before, she actually preferred a girl like Lu Jingshu.

Shen Mingjiao lowered her eyes thoughtfully.

Frankly speaking, when Jing and Emperor opened her mouth just now, she really sweated for this girl.

As I said before, Emperor Jinghe wanted the prince to marry Lu Jingshu, but now that Lu Jingshu took the initiative to say that he wanted to marry the prince, Emperor Jinghe seemed to have no reason to refuse.

However, unexpectedly, Emperor Jing and Emperor actually refused, so what was the reason for his refusal? And what changed his mind!

The two sides were a short distance away, and Lu Jingshu, who was immersed in his own emotions, didn't hear Jing Hedi's words at all, just looked at the prince without blinking. Wait for his reply.

Facing the little girl's clear and bright eyes, the prince paused, and finally shook his head:

"Thanks to the girl, I can't afford it, but I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the girl."

This was a tactful refusal, Lu Jingshu felt a little uncomfortable, but she still asked unwillingly:

"Why, am I not pretty enough? Or is it not gentle enough? ”

The prince shook his head: "No. ”

After that, he looked at her and smiled softly:

"You're a lovely girl, and you deserve better. And I am a widower who has been married, how can I be worthy of a girl! ”

When he said this, the expression on his face was still lonely and gloomy.

Shen Mingjiao frowned, why did this sound like a tea smell of retreating into advance?

In short, in the end, when General Lu pulled Lu Jingshu away, the little girl turned her head to look at the prince from time to time.

Looking at this scene, Shen Mingjiao slapped her forehead, and finally figured out where the previous sense of disobedience came from.

All along, in her inherent impressions, including her past life. The prince has always been an infatuated lover who is willing to give everything for Su Tan. It seems that every time the prince is either defending and spoiling Su Tilt, or on the way to maintaining and spoiling Su Tilt.

Such a person may be praised by those ignorant girls for their infatuation. But he is the prince of a country, with the country on his shoulders, but he revolves around a woman with an unhealthy mind all day long.

In addition to this, he is beyond reproach in other aspects, which makes people hate iron and steel.

In her imagination, the prince is like this, even if he doesn't marry her for the sake of Su Tian for the rest of his life, he won't feel strange.

But within two months of Su Tian's "death", he had another woman - don't say anything drunk and promiscuous, this kind of talk can only coax those little girls.

If Jiang Xueru is because of the deliberate imitation of Su Tian, the prince will do things beyond the norm when he is confused for a while. can also say a word about the stand-in he found because he missed Su Tian.

So what does Lu Jingshu say? The crown prince is not Lu Jingshu, it is impossible not to understand that what he said would make Lu Jingshu think more.

If he really wants to refuse, he can just say it to death. And Lu Jingshu is just a momentary girl's heartbeat. If he clearly refuses, with Lu Jingshu's temperament, he will never be entangled again.

It's not that the prince can't like someone else and start a new life. Just thought of his previous excessive infatuation with Su Tian. It always makes people feel that he shouldn't be like this.

So, what prompted him to change? Did you wake up or ......

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, at this moment, he would rather the prince would always be just the infatuated lover who circled around Su Tian.

……

Emperor Jing He took Feng Shuo to the Qinzheng Palace, retreated left and right, and sat alone for a long time after the dragon case.

Even so, Feng Shuo just sat quietly with the book in his hand.

After a long while, a candlestick crackled and shattered, briefly breaking the silence of the temple.

Emperor Jing and Emperor seemed to have finally come back to their senses, and raised their heads to the outer hall and called Gonggong Li.

"Marquis Xuanning Yuan enters the palace."

Today's palace banquet, Marquis Ning Yuan naturally got to be present, and he will leave the palace gate at this time. So only half an hour passed. Ning Yuan, dressed as a military attaché, waited for Gu Zhao to step into the Qinzheng Palace.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Glancing at Feng Shuo sitting quietly on one side, he didn't feel strange. With these days, Jing and Emperor go in and out, often with Fengshuo. His Majesty's love for King Su's illegitimate son is something that almost no one in the Manchu Dynasty knows about it.

Some people speculate that it is because this child looks a little similar to the former prince, and Jing and Emperor Aiwu and Wuxia will be so close to this child.

Despite this, no one doubted that this child had anything to do with the former prince? After all, the first prince didn't make any mistakes during his lifetime, if this child is really related to the first prince, that prince title can't run.

Emperor Jing and Emperor smiled and waved his hand: "Aiqing, please get up." Bestow the seat. ”

Immediately a little eunuch brought a chair. Gu Zhaogong thanked him and sat down.

Emperor Jing He looked at Gu Zhao, who had a slight wrinkle in the corners of his eyes, and sighed softly:

"I remember the first time I met Gu Qing, Gu Qing was still a young soldier. Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and we are all old......"

Listening to Jing and Emperor reminiscing about the past, Gu Zhao was also a little moved. "If His Majesty hadn't promoted him at the beginning, I'm afraid the ministers would have become a handful of loess long ago."

is also a military attaché, but compared to General Lu, whose family has been a military general for several generations, Gu Zhao can be regarded as born poor.

Gu Zhao was born in the Uncle's Mansion, as early as his father's generation, their family lost the title of earl, and none of the children and nephews had any future. He went to join the army, and later because of the fighting methods of the two powerful children, he, a nobody, almost became cannon fodder for sacrifice.

It was Emperor Jing and Emperor who saved him.

From then on, he swore allegiance to Jing and the emperor.

General Ruo Lu, including Feng Lisheng, is loyal to the Great Xia court and is the royal family. The only person Gu Zhao is loyal to is Jing and the emperor, and it has nothing to do with the identity of the other party.

And Gu Zhao is also a rare lonely minister in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Emperor Jing and Emperor waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this, if I remember correctly, you have a daughter under your knees, and you should be married this year, right?" ”

"Yes, it was over last year."

"Can you get married?"

Gu Zhao shook his head: "No." ”

Jing and the emperor clasped their hands with satisfaction: "Coincidentally, I have been worrying about the prince's marriage recently, and the two children are of the right age, I wonder if Gu Qing is willing to be a family with me?" ”

Gu Zhao was directly stunned, and then hurriedly waved his hand: "Your Majesty's kindness is grateful, but the minister's daughter has a somewhat ...... temperament I really can't afford the position of the crown princess, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your fate. ”
