Chapter 604
The empress hugged Xiao Mo in her arms to tease, and didn't mention the matter of choosing a husband-in-law for Princess Gesang, and Princess Gesang herself didn't mention it again.

The interrupted performance was continued, and singing and dancing resumed in the Tai Chi Hall.

This is the fifth time that Nie Feiyan has been invited to perform in the palace. The top singer of Pingkangfang changes every few years. No one has ever been able to hold this position for nearly ten years like her, and has won the honor of performing in the palace five times. .

"Women in this world want to marry a husband like the King of Henan." Covered by the sound of singing and dancing, a group of young ladies waiting to marry whispered to each other.

"He was born noble, very handsome, holds great power, and doesn't have a concubine room. What kind of luck did the Princess of Henan have to marry him?"

Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue lived in Henan Province all the year round, so the people in Shendu naturally didn't know about Zuo Qiuyue's back house.Just now, after hearing him say it himself, I realized that he doesn't even have a concubine's room around him.

This surprised everyone more than he directly rejected Princess Gesang.

As for any powerful man, which one doesn't have a concubine?
"I think the concubine is too fierce, the prince dare not take concubines." Someone whispered his guess, "We all know that the prince does not know martial arts, if the two of them fight, how can they beat the concubine?"

The person who said this happened to be sitting behind Gu Yunzhang and Li Ruoyu. Although his voice was low, it reached the two people's ears clearly.

The king of Henan is not afraid of the princess, it is love, can't you see it?And besides the concubine, who can be worthy of the king of Henan?Gu Yunzhang was about to refute.

But the little lady who had just spoken changed her voice, and continued: "It would be great if I also have a good martial arts like the princess."

Gu Yunzhang swallowed back the words that came to his lips, leaned back slightly, and listened to what they had to say next.

"If I have martial arts like the concubine, I won't be afraid that my husband will treat me badly in the future." The little lady continued, "I won't let him take a concubine either. Beat him hard until he doesn't dare anymore."

"Pfft..." Gu Yunzhang quickly lay down on the food table, laughing in a low voice.Li Ruoyu naturally heard it too, and laughed too.

"I think if the concubine lives in Shendu for a long time, she will definitely become the person worshiped by the people of Shendu." Gu Yunzhang said, "Especially women."

"I really like her so much, I admire and like her at the same time. No wonder..."

"No wonder why?" Li Ruoyu asked after she stopped talking halfway through.

"No wonder..." Gu Yunzhang paused, lying on the food table and turning to look at Li Ruoyu, "I can give birth to a son like Shizi Xiao."

Li Ruoyu's smile froze for a moment at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly recovered: "Yes, only a person like the princess can raise such a son."

"Get up quickly, let your grandmother see you and say you again." She pulled Gu Yunzhang to sit up straight, "Where did you learn all the etiquette?"

"I learned this." She pointed to her forehead and said, "I remember everything, but I don't want to do it."

"Why are we staring at our every move? There are a lot of men who don't follow the etiquette, but no one says it." She said, "Not only do I want to be an official like them, but I also want them to treat men the same way." Treat me. If they want to find fault with me, they have to do their own demeanor first."

"You're drunk." Li Ruoyu squeezed her hand and said softly, "Don't talk drunk."

Not to mention letting other people hear this, even if her grandmother or mother heard it, she would have to blame her.

"Actually..." Gu Yunzhang turned sideways, pressed it next to Li Ruoyu's ear, and said, "I hope that the king of Henan can become emperor and the concubine be queen."

"You..." Li Ruoyu quickly covered her mouth, "Stop talking!"

Maybe Gu Yunzhang really drank too much wine, and his eyes were a little drunk.She took away Li Ruoyu's hand covering her, leaned on her shoulder, and continued to whisper: "Since my grandfather started to support me in taking the imperial examination, he would often call me up when he was discussing political affairs with my father and uncle."

"Grandfather usually talks about things in Henan Province and Duji Province the most at home." Her tone was full of yearning, "Grandfather said that Henan Province has issued many new government orders in recent years. There have been reforms, and tax laws have been reformed. The most important thing is that the government there encourages women to read and write, or learn to spin, weave, and embroider...the government arranges for them to go to spinning mills or embroidery villages, and they will also There is a very special name for giving them money on a monthly basis, called subsidies."

"Ayu, after I pass the exam, I will beg my grandfather to let him release me. It is best to go to Henan Province or Duji Province. I will definitely work very hard, study hard, and increase my own strength. Ability. Then do a lot of things for the common people and for us women.”

This year, Gu Yunzhang's family started looking for a husband for her as early as two years ago.It's a pity that the person she wants to marry already has a fiancée.

She, Gu Yunzhang, didn't like the others.

She doesn't want to marry, she just wants to take the imperial examination, become an official, and dedicate her life to the career she likes.

"Ayu, I really hope that the king of Henan can become the crown prince."

This time Li Ruoyu didn't stop her, he let her speak.

"Only when he and the concubine ascend to a high position can I realize my ideal." She said, "I don't want to stay at home every day like my mother and take care of the chores in the back house. I want... a wider world, I want Fly like an eagle."

……

Xiao Mo fell asleep in the empress' arms. Zuo Qiuyue wanted to bring her back, but the empress asked someone to arrange a bedroom: "Let's rest in the palace tonight. It's too cold outside, so don't freeze Ah Fei."

"Your Majesty, come and hug me." Xiao Yan stepped forward and took Ah Jian from the empress' arms, and Wei Ting personally led her to the inner hall.

"I'm tired." The empress got up from the dragon chair, "Ah Yue, when it's Zishi, you lead all the officials to watch the ceremony."

"Tomorrow, I will sacrifice to the ancestral temple, and you will replace me."

"Crack." The wine bottle in Zuoqiu Hong's hand fell to the table.

The Empress left after speaking.

"Farewell to Your Majesty." Zuo Qiuyue and Shisi knelt to see each other off.

"Farewell to Your Majesty." Manchu Wenwu followed closely behind.

At this time, everyone's heart was in a turbulent state, and all kinds of thoughts were in a mess.

Just a moment ago, they were still puzzled by Zuo Qiuyue's refusal to marry Princess Gesang.Marrying Princess Gesang means getting the support of the entire Red Faced Kingdom.With his current achievements and prestige, if he marries with the Red Faced Kingdom again, the crown prince will be in his pocket.But, he can't avoid it?
Everyone didn't understand, why did he do that?Is it really like what he said, because he is too afraid of guilt?
When everyone was thinking about analyzing Zuoqiu Yue's rejection of Princess Gesang after they got home, the empress' decision was like a thunderbolt, which knocked them apart.

Watching the ceremony at midnight is nothing, but the ancestor worship ceremony tomorrow morning is something only the emperor can do.If the emperor is unwell, the only one who can replace her is the prince.
