Chapter 14: Someone Stands in the Way
Everyone was shocked.
Emperor Murong looked at the queen with displeasure, and his voice was low: "What's the matter with the queen?" ”
On the surface, it was an inquiry, but people who were familiar with Emperor Murong's temper knew that his expression was angry.
The queen's shoulders trembled, she tightened her sleeves, she was very afraid of Emperor Murong, but when she thought that the person she loved deeply would marry a second-married woman with a low status and didn't like it yet.
She went crazy with jealousy.
Holding the embroidered handkerchief tightly, the queen bit her lower lip, plucked up her courage, and the personal palace maid next to her approached and helped her.
She got up, first blessed the queen mother, and then turned to the emperor and saluted: "Queen Mother, the emperor, the concubine remembers that when the emperor was alive, he personally said that King Li must marry a virtuous wife to marry a wife, and he can't fight side by side with King Li, but he must not drag King Li's hind legs. ”
"Today, the concubine knows that mentioning this is a bit abrupt, but the emperor's last wish, the concubine can't help but mention it, the queen mother, the emperor, this Miss Gu family, her status is low, she can not care, but she is not capable enough, she is not qualified to marry into the Li Wangfu, and please the queen mother, the emperor, think twice."
The queen said eloquently.
Emperor Murong's eyes sank, and his eyes were like knives: "The queen is really my queen, she is working for me all the time, I am very pleased!" ”
Slut!
Emperor Murong was thorny in his words.
The queen's heart trembled, she knew what kind of torture she would face next, but she did not regret it.
The heartache is worse than the physical torture of watching the beloved marry another woman.
"How come Concubine Ben doesn't know about this?"
Old Concubine Li looked at the queen.
The queen mother, the emperor is not a good bird, and the queen is not as gentle and kind as she seems.
The queen held the jade hand, she glanced at Emperor Murong, her voice was as steady as possible, and she turned her eyes: "Old Concubine Li, at that time, only the concubines, the queen mother, and a few old servants in the palace were present. ”
At this time, when the queen said this, she looked at Li Chenlan again, her eyes restrained, and after only a moment, she immediately looked away.
Li Chenlan also glanced at her, frowning, with a complicated expression.
The casual contact between him and the queen was taken in by Gu Manxi on the side.
The corners of her mouth curled.
She seemed to smell a sour smell that she couldn't love.
Interesting!
"That's true, the mourning family remembered."
The Queen Mother glanced at the queen, and she was standing like the queen.
"Emperor, when the emperor was alive, the most worrying thing was your marriage and King Li's marriage, the emperor decreed that you should be named the queen of Shiwei, and it was also Shiwei virtuous and virtuous, with good conduct, it was the emperor's son and your virtuous helper, your marriage, the emperor had already made a choice, and he was very satisfied."
"But King Li has been fighting all the year round, and there is no daughter of the family in the picture, for many years, Sister Sang Yue has not arranged a marriage for King Li, the emperor will inevitably be worried, the emperor has always valued personal ability, moral character."
No matter what the queen thinks, the woman who can bring King Li back to life should not be underestimated.
In this marriage, the queen wanted to stop it, and she just pushed the boat.
The Queen Mother looked at Gu Manxi: "Although Miss Gu's status is low, if she is caught by Sister Sangyue, it is not bad, but ...... As the queen mother and the former emperor's Zitong, the mourning family naturally can't ignore the emperor's last wishes. ”
The Queen Mother's words made everyone hold their breath.
This is obviously to prevent King Li from marrying a daughter of a second marriage.
At the same time, it made everyone feel that the Queen Mother was dignified and magnificent, and she treated King Li and the old concubine Li very well.
King Li and the old concubine Li were confused for a while, and let a lowly second-married woman marry into King Li's mansion.
The Queen Mother kindly stopped it.
Li Chenlan's face was cold, and he was silent.
Old Concubine Li's face also darkened.
"What does the Queen Mother mean ......"
mentioned the former emperor, and the old concubine Li couldn't ignore the last wish of the former emperor.
Before the queen mother could speak, the queen opened her mouth again: "Old lady Li, this palace knows that you like this Miss Gu family who is a husband in public, and the former emperor only means that she can be worthy of King Li, not an ordinary and useless daughter, it is better to do this, as long as Miss Gu can compete and stand out in each layer of Bixiao Courtyard, she can be qualified to become a princess Li with both abilities." ”
"In this way, it can also make the emperor blind, and it can block the mouth of the world."
The queen's words caused a commotion.
"Bixiao Temple! Here brings together the world's talents, each layer of the competition is a must, the lowest level of the competition is some literati or women can participate in the ordinary competition, can challenge or can be directly crossed.
But the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes, there are medical skills, poison arts, martial arts, Gu arts, occult arts, and rare golden needle techniques, Nine Palace thaumaturgy, and each of the above layers of the competition is signed with a life and death form, life and death are fate! ”
"That's right! Each layer of the competition is called a wonderful, although there are countless casualties, but there are very few people who can pass the level at each level, I remember, back then, even our Li Wang only broke through to the eighth layer. ”
"Eighteenth floor! A genius from the sky, just ask who can break through to the tenth layer after decades of cultivation, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky. ”
"Yes, but the queen mother let a daughter of the house enter Bixiao Courtyard, isn't this a person who is sent to death?"
"Shhhh Shut up, you don't want to live anymore! ”
The crowd whispered.
"This palace also knows that Miss Gu is not a man, let alone a person with outstanding ability, as long as Miss Gu can win the first place in the talent competition that ordinary women can participate in, she is qualified to be a princess."
When the words fell, he looked at the Queen Mother, gentle and well-behaved, and asked softly: "Queen Mother, how is this method?" ”
She knows very well that the Queen Mother can fall like her, not because of how good her relationship is, but because of the same purpose.
The competition in Bixiao Pavilion is not difficult at the bottom, and there are also many daughters of families who go to participate, in order to win a good reputation for themselves.
In this way, you can have a good bargaining chip when you get married.
The second and third layers are a bit difficult, and few of those ordinary daughters can pass the level.
However, there are a few who successfully break through the third level, and these are not important.
Importantly, from the second level, there is a rule for signing a life and death certificate.
The women at the house will more or less have some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and let the women at the bottom of the competition release water at the right time.
As long as Gu Manxi can ascend to the second floor of Bixiao Pavilion and sign a life and death certificate, if he dies due to serious injuries or other factors that cause death, in Bixiao Pavilion, no matter what kind of identity the deceased is, he will not be investigated.
Gu Manxi was taken by the old lady Li, and according to King Li's style, in order to make the old lady Li happy, he would definitely do his best to protect Gu Manxi, a woman.
She didn't want to embarrass Li Chenlan, and she didn't want her to marry a woman she didn't like and couldn't do anywhere.
"The mourning family thinks this method is excellent, what does the emperor think?"
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Murong.
The queen's calculations, how could she not know.
Emperor Murong had a calm face, and he glared at the empress viciously.
Damn slut, how dare you calculate him!
The queen's body trembled and lowered her eyes.
"I think this method is very good, Chenlan, you are my courtier, and you are also the god of war of this dynasty, you can match your princess, you can't be too ordinary......"
"Your Majesty! It's my son who marries a wife, and it's not you who take a concubine, let alone a wife from all over the world, as long as this concubine is satisfied, my son is satisfied, and what kind of competition does Bixiao Pavilion participate in! If this is an extra move, this concubine does not agree! ”
The old lady Li refused for Gu Manxi.
She didn't know that the number of people who died in the Bixiao Pavilion every day was too many to count, how could she let her daughter-in-law go to such a dangerous place.
"This king thinks this method is also good, this king believes that this king's lady is not a straw bag who can't do anything, lady, what this king said is right?"
Li Chenlan looked at Gu Manxi lightly.
The queen, the queen mother, and the emperor are calculating, how can he not be clear.
But...... He thought of Fang Cai, the scene he saw, but he wanted to see even more, what other skills Gu Manxi had for this woman.
"Alan! You ......"
Old Concubine Li was shocked.
She agreed!
"Mother concubine, don't worry, my son believes that this daughter-in-law you value will not let you down."
Li Chenlan used the agitation method.
"Since King Li, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen Mother have made such a decision for Manxi, if Manxi does not comply, wouldn't he have committed the crime of disobedience, but ......"
Gu Manxi walked up to Li Chenlan, and in front of everyone, he stretched out his hand and hooked Li Chenlan's neck and made close contact with him.
Li Chenlan's body shook and looked at her with a cold face.
What is this woman going to do?
And the intimate behavior of the two was looked at by outsiders.
Some people blushed, and some people didn't dare to look this way.
The queen's nails can't wait to dig into the flesh.
Gu Manxi, this woman is so shameless!
Gu Manxi, who hadn't let go of Li Chenlan yet, deliberately hooked Li Chenlan and turned around, deliberately blocking the queen's sight with her back, and she smiled at the corner of her mouth: "But...... If Manxi can pass the third hurdle, can the prince agree to my three requests, and I can't go back on my request, how about it? ”
The dog man, in order to please his beloved, actually made a show of her, heh! She's not a virgin!
