Chapter 22: Into the Fire Pit

Gu Lingyi was smart, how could she not know what Chu Wanxiang's title meant, and immediately called out the title: "Princess Minghuang, I haven't seen it for a long time." ”

I remember the last time I saw Chu Wanxiang, when she was about seven years old, when she was sent to Nanzhao by her father, and her aunt took her to Minghuang Mountain.

After nine years, when they met again, Gu Ling was a pair of cousins.

"How is the princess doing in Yujing?" Gu Ling asked, this was something he had been worried about.

Since knowing that Nanzhao changed hands and Chu Wanxiang entered Beijing as a hostage, her father often worried about her safety and couldn't sleep, for fear that she would be wronged in Yujing.

wanted to send someone to inquire about the news of Yujing, but the emperor's eyes were fixed on his eyes, and their people couldn't find a chance at all.

It wasn't until Zhang Meiwu reappeared in this world that his father finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could be sure that this niece was still alive and well.

"Thank you Miss Gu for your concern, Minghuang took good care of Yujing."

When she says she takes care of herself, she indirectly explains her situation.

As a proton, although there are rules that you can't do wrong, there are always some people who, relying on some privileges, just like to break the rules to get satisfaction.

Xiao Min and Chen Xin'er are such people.

"Princess, everything is fine." Gu Lingyi heard the meaning of her words: "My father and I have always missed the princess. ”

"When we come back this time, if nothing else, we will stay in Yujing, and if the princess is bored, the door of the Hou Mansion will always be open for the princess."

An orphan girl stayed in this dark and turbulent Yujing for a whole year.

Thinking of the trembling in the past few days, Gu Lingyi felt very distressed.

He stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of Chu Wanxiang's hand, which was a way to cheer up his cousin.

Although this kind of comfort did not have any substantive effect, Chu Wanxiang really felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

Looking back at Gu Lingyi, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

"Gu Qing, Ling Yi, how old is this year?"

Beiling Huang asked seemingly casually, and then sounded the alarm to Chu Wanxiang and Zhenbei Hou.

It seems that Beilinghuang's target is Gu Lingyi.

"Back to the emperor, Ling Yi is fifteen years old this year."

The eccentric responds with a blessed body. She just finished her wedding gift a few days ago.

"Fifteen-year-old ......" Bei Linghuang smiled slightly, looking left and right at the queen and concubine.

"It's time to get married, and I don't know if there's a marriage."

The heart of the Marquis of Zhenbei was tightened, did the emperor want to marry Ling Yi?

If this is the case, no matter who the emperor assigns the supernatural to, the supernatural will always be trapped in Yujing. In this way, she will become a disguised hostage like Wan Xiang.

"Back to the emperor, she is in the supernatural ...... Not married yet. ”

Zhenbei Hou replied cautiously with his mouth open, thinking about what to do next.

"How can this work? It's time for the male college to get married, it's time for the female college to get married, Lingyi is fifteen years old and hasn't gotten married, wait a few more years, but it will be difficult to find, such a good girl, you can't delay, Your Majesty, what do you say? Lin Wan saw that Beiling Huang wanted to tie up Gu Lingyi in order to contain Zhenbei Hou, so she sang a song and sent a message to Beiling Huang.

"The lady is right, I think Lingyi is well-educated and has a dignified temperament, I really like it, coincidentally, the child Moran is already old, it's time to start a family, and the two of them are both talented and beautiful. I think they're a good match. ”

Mo Ran is Chu Yan's character.

When the Marquis of Zhenbei heard that Emperor Beiling was going to marry his daughter to the third prince, it was really a bolt from the blue.

In Chu Wanxiang's eyes, a trace of anger quickly flashed.

What kind of virtue Chu Yan is, she knows it clearly.

In her previous life, Gu Lingyi was forced to marry him and tortured to death. She still remembered the humiliation marks on Gu Lingyi's body on the day of the funeral.

In this life, how could she let her cousin step into the fire pit again?

"Your Majesty, the third prince has a noble status, and the girl's talent is mediocre, I'm afraid she is not worthy of the third prince."

Gu Changfeng knelt down and lowered his head, carefully phrasing his words.

Let's not talk about Xiaoyan's misbehavior, just say that his identity and his mother Concubine Lin are not easy to get along with.

Moreover, once Chu Yan's faction intervened, Zi Lingyi would fall into the whirlpool of the deep palace and never return.

As a father, Gu Changfeng categorically didn't want his biological daughter to step into the mud, so he had to find a way to refuse this marriage no matter what.

However, how can the matter decided by the royal family be so easy to shirk?

Emperor Beiling wanted to bring Gu Lingyi into the royal family from the very beginning, as an important measure to contain Zhen Beihou. How could he let go of this opportunity today?

"Marquis Zhenbei, don't say that, I like Lingyi very much, because he is very obedient and quiet. Even if you are at the border all year round and are not familiar with the rules of the palace, you often come to this palace, and I will personally teach you how to look at it. ”

Lin Wan has been favored in the palace for so long, and her skills are beyond the reach of others.

Zhenbei Hou's refusal was easily blocked by her words, which not only made him unable to refuse Emperor Beiling's marriage proposal, but also allowed him to further control Gu Lingyi.

Teach in person. Hehe, this concubine's calculation is really clever.

Chu Wanxiang secretly said in her heart that she would teach it personally. If my cousin really does what she says, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to refuse this family business.

Chu Yan was Lin Wan's father and son, how could he not know that Gu Lingyi had entered the palace? At that time, it was not the mother and son who conspired together to frame the cousin.

"......" The Marquis of Zhenbei was speechless and remained silent.

I was in a hurry, trying to find a reason to refuse, but I couldn't think of how to say it.

Chu Wanxiang sighed, after all, his uncle was a military commander, and in terms of calculation, he was not as good as those scheming nobles in the deep palace.

"Master Hou, when Minghuang heard the news of his wife's death a few days ago, he was deeply saddened, because Minghuang couldn't leave the north without permission, otherwise he would be there to express his condolences."

The red lips opened slightly, Chu Wanxiang showed an apologetic expression, and blessed his body to the Marquis of Zhenbei.

When Chu Mohan heard this, he tacitly stood up and bowed to Emperor Beiling: "Father, my son also heard that Mrs. Zhenbei Hou passed away due to illness not long ago, and now everyone in Zhenbei Hou's Mansion is paying tribute to her. ”

The filial piety period is generally three years, and it is common knowledge that marriage is not allowed within three years.

Emperor Beiling greatly admired filial piety, and he attached great importance to maintaining filial piety.

Therefore, as soon as the word filial piety comes out, it will naturally block Beiling Huang's words.

When Bei Linghuang heard this, he was taken aback, and the smile on his face faded a lot.

In this way, the plan of using Gu Lingyi to contain Zhenbei Hou will not work.
