Although Gu Zhijin, the head of the Gu family, has gone up in age, he has not yet shown a lot of old age. Just from his face, you can know that when he was young, he must have been graceful and graceful.

Gu Qingyu is six or seven points similar to Gu Zhijin. With just one glance, Yang Yunxi was irrepressibly reminded of Gu Qingyu. Then there were a lot of emotions in my heart - thinking back to the first time I saw it, and then looking at it now, I felt a sense of vicissitudes.

Yang Yunxi sighed lightly.

Then Gu Zhijin turned his head and saluted respectfully: "Concubine Niangniang." ”

"Lord Gu is very polite." Yang Yunxi smiled slightly, only feeling that Gu Zhijin was cautious and well-behaved, and even a little too humble - compared to the county lord of Runing, the husband and wife were not at all alike. The county lord of Runing has always looked down on her, even if she is a noble concubine, or she is a favorite of the six palaces.

But Gu Zhijin is different, that respect is not pretended. The tone is also always modest.

Such a person is neither humble nor arrogant, polite and humble, and it is easy to win the favor of others.

"This is the duty of a minister, and it should be so." Gu Zhijin said this, and his attitude has never changed at all.

"Lord Gu, please take a seat." Yang Yunxi took the lead in sitting on the chair, and then invited Gu Zhijin to sit. There was a golden gauze screen in front of her, and from her side she could see everything clearly, only slightly hazy, as if it had been shrouded in a layer of mist. However, from Gu Zhijin's side, he could only see a picture of a golden phoenix spreading its wings woven with fine gold threads on the golden gauze screen.

After all, there is a difference between men and women, and it makes sense.

Gu Zhijin never looked up to look this way, sitting decently, with a straight waist, not contemptuous at all.

Yang Yunxi's heart is a little more respectful of Gu Zhijin.

"I invited Lord Gu over today, because I want to ask Lord Gu what he means." Yang Yunxi didn't want to sell Guanzi, even if he went straight to the point. For Gu Zhijin's style, she also felt that it was a bit inferior to take out those roundabouts and talk about it. Besides, this incident is not a shameful thing.

Gu Zhijin naturally didn't have a guess in his heart, and he bowed his head slightly, and his voice was clear: "Concubine Niangniang, please speak." ”

Yang Yunxi sighed: "The emperor's injuries are serious, so I couldn't see Lord Gu in person, and please don't think that the emperor deliberately slighted you." Although it's a little inappropriate for me to speak for the emperor as a woman, it's just that this is an extraordinary time-"

When Gu Zhijin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh lightly: he naturally understood Zhu Li's temperament. After all, I saw it since I was a child, and finally promised my daughter to Zhu Li, where can I not understand? In terms of Zhu Li's character, now that the government has been abandoned for so long, I am afraid that it is no longer a serious injury.

Gu Zhijin had his own guess in his heart, and now Yang Yunxi's words actually just confirmed his guess. As for annoyance, it's not that much, it's just that I'm afraid.

I am afraid that this peaceful day is coming to an end, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in this court, and I am afraid that the ancient family will be implicated.

"The minister did not dare to have such a complaint. The concubine doesn't have to feel that she is in the way, since it is the emperor's order, it is reasonable. Gu Zhijin's voice became softer and gentler, "Please also ask the concubine to get down to business." ”

Gu Zhijin naturally had a calculation in his heart: he was a foreign man in the end, and it was not suitable for him to stay in the palace for a long time. Moreover, he also wanted to know what this noble concubine wanted to say to him, so solemn.

"I invited Lord Gu here today for the sake of establishing a prince." Yang Yunxi sighed slightly, not minding to show his amazement and worry: "In such a situation as the emperor, it is already imminent to establish a crown prince. You are Ah Shi's grandfather and the father of the former queen, so naturally I want to ask you what you mean. ”

If you agree, that's it, if you don't agree—

Gu Zhijin's heart was inexplicably tight when he heard this, and he almost felt a little uneasy.

Such a thing, once Zhu Li made up his mind, even if the Gu family tried their best to oppose it, would they be able to reverse the situation? Maybe it used to be, but now......

Thinking of the current situation of the county lord of Runing, Gu Zhijin sighed silently in his heart, and finally only replied like this: "The minister is equal to Ah Shi, although he is related by blood, but in the end it is not as good as the grace of his mother." Since Niangniang is raising Ah Shi, she naturally has to be the master of this matter, and the ministers have no other opinions. ”

These words put all the blame on Yang Yunxi. Their ancient family seems to have nothing to do with it - if Ashi is the crown prince, they will naturally help each other, if not, they have no intention of rebelling.

Gu Zhijin said open-mindedly, which made Yang Yunxi a little surprised, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and then smiled: "That's right, if that's the case, then the county lord is afraid that he will be annoyed again." ”

The county lord of Runing spent so much effort before, wasn't it just so that Ah Shi could sit on the throne of the crown prince? Now that Gu Zhijin said this, the efforts of the county lord of Runing were in vain. And the positions are also very different.

Thinking of the things that the county lord of Runing had done, Gu Zhijin had a little old face and a little red, and even glanced at the screen a little apologetically. Speaking of which, this is the first time Gu Zhijin has seen it today.

Speaking again, Gu Zhijin was also a little embarrassed: "This matter, naturally I don't have to worry about the county lord." After all, it's just a woman's opinion—"

"Is it just a woman's opinion?" Yang Yunxi smiled slightly, his tone couldn't hear joy and anger, but there was a slight flash of emotion in his eyes: "It turns out that Lord Gu thinks that is a woman's opinion." That being the case, then why didn't Lord Gu stop the county lord in the first place? ”

Yang Yunxi didn't say what it was, but Gu Zhijin knew what Yang Yunxi was talking about. At that moment, it became more and more embarrassing - Yang Yunxi's words were too sharp, and it was difficult for him to answer. But no matter what, it is true that the Gu family is sorry for Yang Yunxi.

Thinking about the arrangements made before Gu Qingyu left, Gu Zhijin finally sighed, stood up, and leaned over to Yang Yunxi solemnly, and said sincerely: "That incident is indeed the fault of my Gu family, and my Gu family is sorry for the concubine." It's also us ourselves who have failed the queen's hard work—"

Speaking of Gu Qingyu, Yang Yunxi was silent. Finally, he said: "It is indeed a disappointment." ”

How much did Gu Qingyu pay for the Gu family? But in the end...... But they were all let down. The decline of the ancient family is irreversible, and I am afraid that I will never be able to return to the glory of the past.

"So far, I don't mean to pursue this matter." Yang Yunxi smiled generously, and his tone was calm: "Otherwise, it wouldn't be me who came to see you today." ”
