happy match

This topic has changed too fast!

Empress Gu was startled for a moment, but she immediately came to her senses and smiled.What Gu Xinian said on purpose just now obviously has ulterior motives...

Empress Gu has been in charge of the Sixth Palace for many years, and the city is extremely deep. Even if she is unhappy in her heart, she never shows it on her face.She smiled kindly and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. It's too out of touch to keep a secret in front of me."

... Queen Gu really still has such a temperament, always using a hypocritical smile to cover up the darkness in her heart.

A clear and mocking smile flashed across Gu Xinian's eyes, but he replied respectfully: "Nephew wants to ask aunt for a favor, and allow nephew to be the master of his life in the future!"

Empress Gu was obviously a little surprised, and her eyes flickered slightly: "It's a lifelong event, and you should obey the orders of your elders. Why did you suddenly have such thoughts?" Maybe you are still obsessed with Shen Qiuyu, and use this as an excuse not to get married!

The prince's expression on the side was also slightly unnatural.

Gu Xinian was very calm, and smiled slowly: "My nephew dare not hide it from my aunt. Before, my grandparents had arranged a marriage for me, but I politely rejected it. My nephew has always been willful, and I just want to find someone who suits me." The girl you love will spend your whole life together. Therefore, today I specially come to ask my aunt, and hope that my aunt will be fulfilled."

Queen Gu pondered for a moment, a series of thoughts flashed through her mind.He asked naturally: "Which lady from the family did your father and mother choose for you?"

"Miss the first daughter of the British government." Gu Xinian answered this question without hesitation, and then saw Queen Gu's eyes light up not without surprise.I sneered in my heart.

As expected, when Empress Gu heard about such a noble daughter, her heart was immediately moved.Probably wishing that he would immediately nod his head and marry this Miss Zhang, and then logically win the British government into the crown prince's camp.

Sure enough, Empress Gu immediately said: "This kind of marriage is just right, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"Auntie, my nephew has already rejected this marriage." Gu Xinian said with a faint smile: "No matter how nice Miss Zhang is, it's a pity that she is not the one I love. If I really marry her, I will hurt her." He winked at the prince calmly.

The prince stepped forward very righteously: "My mother, my cousin already has a girl he likes in his heart. It's just that the family status is a little lower. I'm afraid that my grandfather and the others will not agree, so I came to ask my mother to make me happy. My mother made my cousin happy. Give it some thought!"

Complete?It's easy to say!In the future, Gu Xinian will inherit the title of Duke Dingguo, so he must be cautious about his marriage.How could he be so capricious?

Empress Gu glanced at the prince, and said calmly: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

The so-called long-term plan.That is to say, do not intend to agree.Gu Xinian hadn't responded yet, but the crown prince responded immediately: "There's nothing to discuss about it. As long as the mother and queen give a good order, my cousin can marry his sweetheart. Grandpa and the others will never object."

Empress Gu is naturally clear about the crown prince's thoughts.He tried his best to speak for Gu Xinian, on the one hand, it was out of loyalty, and on the other hand, he felt that he owed Gu Xinian because of Shen Qiuyu's affairs.That's why he was so eager to help intercede.Only Gu Xinian got married.Only the prince can truly feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Queen Gu only felt short of breath and chest tightness.

The prince is her only son.She has always loved and loved her very much, and she has placed high hopes on her.But the prince, who was considered smart since he was a child, was not outstanding when he grew up.Not to mention a gentle temperament, soft ears, and mediocre talents.What was even more troublesome was that he was indecisive emotionally and was dazzled by that Shen Qiuyu.Children love each other all day long.It doesn't matter to be an ordinary prince with such a temperament, but if he wants to aspire to the throne and inherit the great treasure.But it is a big regret.The emperor also understood his temperament very well, so Cai Shengxin gradually turned to the shrewd and capable third prince...

The crown prince didn't notice Queen Gu's displeasure at all, and said to himself: "My mother has always been kind-hearted, and she loves my cousin the most. A decree is just a matter of little effort, so there is nothing to hesitate..."

According to what he said, if he didn't make a will, it would mean that he was not kind to Gu Xinian, wouldn't it be bad?

Empress Gu finally couldn't bear it any longer, she glared at the prince, and interrupted the prince's eloquence with a little displeasure: "Okay, this matter is not trivial, I have to think about it."

After a pause, he said to Gu Xinian with a pleasant face: "Xinian, you have to be considerate of my aunt's difficulties. Although I am a queen, I am also a married daughter of the Duke of Dingguo. It is really inconvenient for me to deal with important events in your life. Much interference."

...It's a shame she has the face to say that.If it is really inconvenient to interfere, what is the matter of arranging Shen Changan and Yu'er to meet before?

Gu Xinian sneered sarcastically in his heart, but his face was full of respect: "My nephew also knows that this request is embarrassing my aunt. Please think about it for a while, and it won't be too late to make an order after you think it over."

Such a result was also within his expectation.With Queen Gu's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to agree to the decree immediately.However, he has cast the bait, and there will always be a day when it will work.In less than a year, Empress Gu will naturally nod her head and agree to order a marriage...

After finishing his lunch, Gu Xinian took his leave first.

Empress Gu left the crown prince to speak alone, and first she scolded: "...Where did you use your brain? Why have you been helping Xinian to speak today? Don't you think about it, if I really made such a will, In the future, I will definitely have to give Xi Nian a marriage in person..."

"What's the matter with giving the marriage?" The prince said disapprovingly: "It's just another decree, it's just to give that woman more face."

The queen personally bestows the marriage, it is more than a little bit more decent!The crux of the problem is, why did she give the other party so much respect?

Empress Gu gave him a blank look: "What you said is really easy. Have you ever thought that if the matter is so simple, how could Xi Nian open his mouth to me and just discuss with the elders. Since he asked me to come, It shows that this woman's family background is not worthy of Duke Dingguo's mansion. He is now the Minister of the Household Department, a decent third-rank official, and will inherit the title in the future. It's too low, wouldn't it make people from Dingguo's mansion unable to lift their heads when they go out?"

The prince was speechless after being scolded.After a long while, he said slowly: "However, he said in front of me that he only likes this woman. If the marriage fails, he will never get married in his life. The queen mother should know his temper. Because of Shen Qiuyu, he has not been married for four whole years. I haven't been to the Prince's Mansion for half a step. If I really committed a twist, wouldn't it be more troublesome then?"

This is true!

Queen Gu frowned.In case Gu Xinian deliberately put down the pick at a critical moment, or separated from the crown prince in the future, the gain would really outweigh the loss!I don't know which woman was able to turn Gu Xinian's obsession so fascinated that she even came up with the idea of ​​giving her a marriage.

"Have you heard Xi Nian mention this woman?"

The prince was stunned and replied: "Xinian has always been thoughtful, and he has never revealed it before. It was only today that he mentioned a few words to me. I don't know who that woman is. I just heard that her family background doesn't count. Tall, and a concubine."

It's fine if her family background is not high, but she's still a concubine?Empress Gu was taken aback, her complexion was not very good-looking.No wonder Gu Xinian asked to come in front of her.If they just open their mouths to Ding Guogong and his wife, they will never agree.

Queen Gu's thoughts changed, and she changed the topic: "By the way, what do you think about the land tax reform that Xi Nian talked about before?" Leaving aside the issue of love for children, this is the top priority right now.

The prince was stunned for a moment, and replied without confidence: "The third brother sent Qian Shilang to lead the charge to test Father's intentions. Fortunately, Xi Nian was sharp-tongued and blocked him today. Otherwise, Father might have already nodded in agreement. After a pause, he continued: "Xinian also said just now that this matter has both disadvantages and advantages. If it is used well, it can give San Huangdi a head-on blow."

In other words, he didn't know anything about it at all, and Gu Xinian could only rely on Gu Xinian to deal with it.

Empress Gu frowned even tighter.There is still something I don't understand now, Gu Xinian is simply using this matter to manipulate her, making her nod and agree to the marriage...

The prince is not too stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he also figured out the mystery: "Mother, if you disagree, Xi Nian will have resentment in his heart. I'm afraid he won't devote himself wholeheartedly."

Empress Gu snorted softly, and glared at the prince: "Thank you for being so brave. If you were more aggressive, why should I rely on him so much?" It's all right now, being held by him like this, where can she put the face of a majestic queen? ?

The prince now only wants to help Gu Xinian impress his mother, but he doesn't care about being scolded like this.Sighing intentionally, he said: "My son is stupid, let the mother down. However, it is a pity to miss such a good opportunity. Moreover, if it is really done by the third brother, the father will definitely be happy. When the time comes But it’s too late to regret it.”

It doesn't take too long to measure which is more important, and it can be weighed out.

Although Empress Gu was unhappy, she had to start thinking about Gu Xinian's previous "pleading".The prince sat aside and didn't make a sound to disturb.

After a long time, Empress Gu said calmly: "It's not impossible to give a marriage. However, not now." Since Gu Xinian threatened the land tax reform, he must show his strength and sincerity.If this matter can really be used to overwhelm the third prince severely, the granting of marriage is nothing.

The prince understood what Empress Gu meant, and he was immediately inspired. He said with a smile, "Don't worry, Empress, since Xi Nian said so, she must be sure."

Empress Gu gave him an angry look: "Okay, don't help him talk anymore. This matter is not a joke, we will wait and see for a while."
