The princess is above: the power minister's palm favor

Chapter 2 Young people solve their own affairs
An hour later, the Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Gu Chenzhou, the son of Marquis of Pingyang, went south to deal with the case of King An's treason and returned, and the emperor rewarded him for his merits.

Gu Chenzhou is outstanding in appearance and has both virtue and conduct. He is a leader among the children of the aristocratic family in the capital.Li Huang was rescued by him when he was young, and since then he has secretly loved him and has been obsessed with him for many years.

Under the protection of Li Huang, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion has progressed step by step from a down-and-out aristocrat with no real power to where it is today, full of glory.

This time, King An's treason case has conclusive evidence, as long as he goes to take down King An's father and son, he will make a great contribution.Originally, this kind of good job was not for Gu Chenzhou, a young man from a family with neither military merit nor title, but the emperor couldn't stand Li Huang's coquettish pleading, so he gave Gu Chenzhou such a good job.

When Li Huang arrived, he heard the angry voice of the old emperor from the hall: "What did you say? You don't want to marry my Li Huang?"

"Yes. From the beginning to the end, this minister regards the eldest princess as his younger sister."

"What I want is a son-in-law, not a wild son! I'll ask you again, will you marry Li Huang!"

"I have my own heart, so I can't marry another eldest princess. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Gu Chenzhou, you know how Li Huang has treated you all these years, but now you tell me that your heart belongs to you? How do you want my Li Huang to treat herself?"

"My minister is willing to apologize with death!"

"Presumptuous! Do you think I dare not?"

……

Outside the hall, even though he had already prepared himself, when Gu Chenzhou said these words himself, Li Huang still felt chilled.

Before he left Beijing, he vividly remembered the scene when he and Li Chuchu fell into the water at the same time.

Biting lake water, like a knife rolled into her lungs.She struggled desperately, but the heavy clothes on her body kept her downward.

Seeing that she was about to sink, a familiar figure jumped into the lake.

However, just when she thought that Gu Chenzhou would save her, he hugged Li Chuchu who was floating on the water without hesitation.

The lake water that day was bitingly cold.

Since that day, she has been groggy and sick, dreaming those messy dreams every day.But she vaguely knew in her heart that everything in the dream was real.

Thinking of this, Li Huang calmed down, walked into the hall, and said coldly: "Gu Shizi doesn't want to marry, but did you ever ask me if I want to marry?"

In the hall, the emperor and Gu Chenzhou were startled, the emperor quickly suppressed the anger on his face, and greeted him kindly.

"My dear girl, you just caught wind and cold a few days ago, why are you still wearing such thin clothes? If you catch a cold, how can you recover from this disease!"

Li Huang was only wearing a purple palace attire, without makeup, and her complexion was a little pale after illness.

The moment Gu Chenzhou raised his eyes and saw Li Huang, his expression was solemn for a moment, then he lowered his eyes and respectfully saluted Li Huang.

However, Li Huang didn't seem to see it, he helped the emperor to the dragon chair, and coquettishly said: "Father, the matter of Gu Shizi, can I leave it to my daughter?"

The emperor's face darkened instantly, "This bastard has failed you so much, do you still want to soften your heart?"

In the past, every time Gu Chenzhou disobeyed or committed a crime, it was his precious daughter who protected him.It's fine on weekdays, but today this bastard is going to break his precious daughter's heart!How can you be merciless!

Seeing the emperor's displeasure, Li Huang tugged at his sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Father, don't worry, my daughter just wants to settle this matter. To prevent people from thinking that my royal princess can't get married and embarrass the royal family." shame."

"really?"

"Using this year's lucky money as a guarantee, what I said is true."

Although the emperor was a little surprised, he still nodded, and said helplessly, "Forget it, you young people can settle their affairs by yourself."

With the emperor's consent, Li Huang straightened his sleeves and walked up to Gu Chenzhou.

She had never looked at Gu Chenzhou condescendingly, but now, it was nothing more than that.It's a shame that she even avoided Gu Chenzhou's courtesy in the past, and allowed him to call her by his name in front of outsiders, which made outsiders think that Gu Chenzhou was already a prospective son-in-law.

Now that he is refusing to marry in public, in the future, in front of the literati's sons, he will only get a good reputation of being indifferent to power, but she, the dignified eldest princess, is rejected by others and cannot escape the infamy.

Thinking of this, she twitched the corners of her mouth, suppressed the coldness in her heart and said, "Since Gu Shizi already has someone he likes in his heart, I should just make it clear today."

"Bengong did admire you." As soon as she said this, Gu Chenzhou raised his head, but there was not much joy on his face, instead his brows were tightly furrowed, showing a very distressed look.

Li Huang glanced at him and continued: "But that was in the past. Now you have your own heart, and this palace only treats you with the friendship of a monarch and a minister. Please Gu Shizi abide by the duty of a monarch and minister in the future."

At this moment, Gu Chenzhou's face was full of shock.

He thought that Li Huang would mess around like before, but at this moment Li Huang looked at her with cold, strange, and aloof eyes.

It was the first time he saw this kind of eyes.For a moment, Gu Chenzhou was inexplicably bored, he opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "I understand."

Li Huang was not surprised by Gu Shenzhou's answer.In these years, she has taken care of Gu Chenzhou everywhere, even the whole Hou family has taken good care of her a lot.

From small rewards to big positions in the court, as long as she can get involved, she wishes to give them all to Gu Chenzhou.

It's ridiculous that in Gu Chenzhou's eyes, I'm afraid she still thinks it's her backlash!

"Since the relationship between you and me has been clarified, then please Gu Shizi return the mansion that I donated as a gift, as well as my warrant and other things, so as not to misunderstand outsiders and make your sweetheart feel uncomfortable."

As soon as Li Huang said this, Gu Chenzhou suddenly raised his head, and met her gaze in disbelief, "What did the princess say?"

"This palace said, please Gu Shizi return the things that this palace gave you back then! Since there is only the friendship between the monarch and his ministers, it will inevitably be misunderstood if some things are kept in Gu Shizi."

"Ordinary items should be returned, but the mansion of the Marquis of Pingyang was rewarded by His Majesty himself..."

"The mansion of the Hou's Mansion should have been the standard of the royal mansion. I was confused for a moment and asked my father to give this mansion to you. Now that I think about it, it is really inappropriate. How can the Marquis' mansion in the Pingyang Hou's Mansion be worthy of living there?"

The emperor was stunned watching from the sidelines!
She really deserves to be his daughter, his precious daughter back then, she was ruthless and domineering!
Gu Chenzhou took a deep breath, "Princess, please be considerate. Even if you move out of the mansion, it will be difficult to find a suitable mansion in a short time. Besides, the grandmother in Weichen's family is used to living in it. It may be difficult to adapt to the new house in the cold winter."

"That's your business."

Li Huang glanced at Gu Chenzhou, feeling inexplicably disgusted.

In the past, she treated Gu Shen Zhou like pearls and jade, as long as it was what he wanted, she would do her best to satisfy him.

But when she thought of the indifference and disdain of Gu Chenzhou and everyone in the Hou Mansion these years, she felt ironic.

No one can empathize with the feeling of a heart feeding the dog more than her.

Gu Chenzhou frowned, and after careful consideration, he tried to discuss: "Your Highness, even if I can find a suitable mansion today, it will take a certain amount of time to clean up and move in..."

"Does Gu Shizi want to go back on his word?"

Repenting is deceiving the king!

Gu Chenzhou's heart was in a mess at the moment.He really doesn't like Li Huang pestering him, but now when she really wants to cut off the relationship with him, he has mixed feelings and is indescribably depressed.

After a while, after weighing the pros and cons, Gu Chenzhou said, "I beg Your Highness to give you a few days, and I will allow you to go back to the house and settle down."

"Three days."

"..."

"Why, Gu Shizi is in trouble?"

Li Huang looked at Gu Chenzhou with a half-smile.

Some people, when they are used to other people's contributions, take everything for granted.Once this dedication disappears, that person will feel dissatisfied and always feel that he has been let down.

This is the expression of Gu Chenzhou now.

But seeing the emperor's angry face, he could only hold back his emotions, lowered his head respectfully, and replied with one word: "Yes."

The emperor was afraid that his precious daughter would repent, so he hurriedly winked at the eunuch waiting outside the palace, telling people to get rid of this obtrusive guy.

The eunuch stepped forward with kind eyebrows and said indifferently, "Gu Shizi, please."

Gu Chenzhou took a deep breath, saluted the emperor and Li Huang, turned and left.

The word anger is written all over his back.

After the person disappeared from sight, the emperor hummed: "If you hadn't insisted on it, how could this kid be worthy of you with his qualifications?"

Speaking of this, he sighed again, "You bastard, King An! If he hadn't conspired against you, that kid from his family would be a good match for you! What a pity..."

Li Huang's heart sank, Prince An's son... Mo Jingzhan?
