Queen is fearless

Chapter 441 Credentials
Yuan Bao peeked upwards, the emperor seemed to have maintained this posture for a while, not only that, the emperor's expression seemed a little weird.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Yuan Bao asked after holding back for a while. He knew that the Emperor was looking at Jin's credentials, but this expression... Could it be that there is something wrong with Jin's credentials? matter?

"I'm fine." Zhou Jing came back to his senses, and quickly read the letter of credence, "Where is the envoy of Jin?"

"Going back to the emperor, the envoy is resting in the post house, do you want to send someone to invite you into the palace?"

The relationship between Jin State and Da Zhou is good. After all, without Da Zhou's help, Jin Huang wouldn't be able to sit so securely on his dragon chair.

Yuan Bao thought, if the Emperor Jin had some conscience, he would not embarrass Da Zhou in his lifetime.

"No, send someone to invite the father and son of the Gu family into the palace." Waving his hand, Zhou Jing thought for a while and gave an order.

Yuan Bao responded, exited the imperial study, sent someone to go outside the palace, and invited Gu's father and son in.

At this moment, the Gu family father and son are at home, Gu Qingshan is sitting on a chair, watching Gu Anzhi and Gu Shenzhi discussing each other.

Gu Fangshi led people, carrying tea and snacks, and walked in through the arch.

"Drink some water." In late March, the weather became much warmer, and many flowers bloomed inside and outside the palace.

The family of four are all martial arts practitioners, and the current temperature is just right for them.

Gu Anzhi and Gu Shenzhi stopped, went to their parents' side, and drank a glass of water each.

"Looking at the good weather, in a few days, shall our family go out for an outing outside the capital?"

Looking at the father and son with a smile, Gu Fang asked their opinions. It was rare for the whole family to be there. If they could go out for a walk, that would be the best.

"Of course it's good. Ma'am, just make preparations. The three of us, father and son, will accompany you at any time."

In the capital recently, apart from the draft, there are no major events.

The draft is a matter of the palace and has nothing to do with them, so there are quite a few in free time.

"Master and Madam, there are people coming from the palace. Please invite the master, the eldest son and the young master into the palace."

Because of Gu Anzhi's request, the position of heir was given to Gu Shenzhi, and the butler stood at the arch, reporting back to the family of four.

Gu Qingshan looked at the two sons, a little surprised, but soon, he came back to his senses and responded.

"Madam, let's go to the palace first. If you haven't come back by the time of meal, you can eat first." After a few words, the father and son went to change their clothes and entered the palace together.

Zhou Jing was in the imperial study, and the father and son followed the palace servants and came directly to the imperial study.

Exempting the father and son from the ceremony, let them sit down, Zhou Jing's eyes looked back and forth at the father and son.

This made the father and son a little confused, not understanding what the emperor meant.

Before Gu Qingshan could open his mouth, the emperor's voice came, "I have received Jin's letter of credence."

Hearing that the state of Jin sent the letter of credence, the father and son looked at the emperor together, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"In Jin's letter of credence, request to make peace with Da Zhou." Zhou Jing spoke slowly, talking about the contents of the letter of credence, the father and son still looked at a loss.

"Your majesty, it's very good, why does Jin want to make peace with Da Zhou?" Seeing that Zhou Jing didn't intend to continue, Gu Qingshan spoke first.

"You should know that the current Emperor Jin is the prince whom I helped before. Presumably, it is because of my gratitude for my help, so I let the princess come to Dazhou to make a kiss."

"However..." Zhou Jing pondered for a moment, then looked at Gu Shenzhi, "The person specified in the letter of credence is the son of your Gu family, Gu Shenzhi."

Immediately, Gu Qingshan and Gu Anzhi looked at Gu Shenzhi, and Gu Shenzhi, because the news was too shocking, widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, why is it a humble minister?" After a while, he found his own voice.

How could he marry a princess of Jin?He has a woman!Although he doesn't know, where is his Jin Jiu?

Wait... Jin State, Jin Jiu... Could it be that Jin Jiu is indeed related to Jin State, but since it is related, why can't the people sent by the emperor be able to find out?
"I guess, is there something in it?" Zhou Jing's doubts were similar to Gu Shenzhi's.

"The person from the state of Jin who came to marry him was not an ordinary princess, but the eldest princess of the state of Jin, who is the younger sister of the emperor of Jin."

Generally speaking, the person sent out to make a marriage is either a real princess in the royal family, or one is selected from the families of the ministers, named a princess, and sent out to make a marriage.

There are even some who make beautiful girls or court ladies princesses and send them out to make love.

It was the first time he had heard of the eldest princess being sent out for a marriage.

Of course, the same is true for the Gu family and their sons. It was the first time I heard that the eldest princess was asked to come out and marry, and they directly confirmed the person.

"Based on the past, when princesses from big countries came to marry, they would all be sent to the palace. Even if they couldn't be queens, they would have to be noble concubines."

"But the state of Jin sent the eldest princess to make a marriage, and also pointed out the distance between the state of Jin and the Great Zhou. This letter of state really needs to be delivered for a few days. At that time, I should have just made Shenzhi the crown prince not long ago."

"Even if the state of Jin has spies in Dazhou, it is impossible to send the news back so quickly. That is to say, when the letter of state of Jin was sent to Dazhou, it did not know that Shenzhi was the son of the prince."

"The dignified princess, being a wife to a courtier from a friendly country...it's strange no matter how you think about it. Gu Shenzhi, do you have any idea?"

After talking about her guess, Zhou Jing asked Gu Shenzhi, but at this time Gu Shenzhi was still at a loss.

"Your majesty, do you think this eldest princess has something to do with... that Jin Jiu?"

After all, the jade pendant left by Jin Jiu to Shen Zhi belonged to the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. Although the result of the investigation said that the royal family who owned this jade pendant is no longer there, maybe the news is false?
Maybe Jin Jiu is a member of the royal family. Although she gave the jade pendant to Gu Shenzhi, she didn't want him to find her. That's why she made fake news so that the people in Da Zhou could only find fake news when they were investigating.

"I also guessed in the same way. Otherwise, how could I point out Gu Shenzhi? Even if the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is not interested in entering the palace, if she wants to go to your Gu family, the first choice should be you, the eldest son."

"After all, among countries, the eldest son is more likely to inherit the title, but they have taken a fancy to Gu Shenzhi, and they only need Gu Shenzhi to be named. The meaning of this is quite interesting."

If it is said that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is really the Jin Jiu in Gu Shenzhi's mouth, then the matter on Gu Shenzhi's mind will be completely resolved.

His matter has been settled, and Gu Anzhi's matter, that is, sooner or later, as long as the person is alive, there will be news sooner or later.
