This day it was Qin Jue's turn to be on duty again. He needed to enter the palace early in the morning and waited for her to come out at the gate of the Empress's palace.

The day before, someone notified the time of entering the palace, but Qin Jue arrived at the palace gate faster than everyone else. At that time, the palace gate was not open, and the sky was still dark.

The other attendants came later, and someone whispered from behind: "Your Majesty is not here, why do you behave like this."

Qin Jue turned a deaf ear, he stood there with his head lowered, his handsome brows and eyes fell silently, a scholar-like gentleness lingered on his body, and a bit of stubborn uprightness.

The cold and white skin is set against the darkness of the unknown, becoming more and more white and clear, out of the world.

This skin look is first-class, and it is three points more handsome than the most famous family members in the imperial city.

Looking at his appearance, everyone couldn't help but muttered in their hearts, such a good appearance, maybe there will be some good fortune in the future?

It has been three days since the Empress returned to the court, and she has been dealing with palace affairs for the past few days. The biggest thing to say is that the Empress's marriage has been put on the agenda again.

This is actually a commonplace. According to the Daxing custom, most aristocratic women meet at the age of 12 or 13 and get married at the age of 15 or 16. The better the family background, the faster the marriage will be decided.

The two daughters of the Lonely Family are different. The Empress Dugu Luo fought on the fifteenth to kill the enemy. When she succeeded to the throne at the eighteenth, a minister mentioned her marriage, but it was a pity that the Empress suppressed her with all her strength. After that, she left for many years and devoted herself to fighting. In the world, marriage has long been forgotten.

Princess Kang Ning has been frail since she was a child, and her marriage has been undecided. She is now nineteen years old, and there were ministers who persuaded her before, but she turned her head around and almost failed to save her from the relapse of her old illness. After that, the matter was shelved.

Now that the Empress has returned to the palace, the marriage will naturally be brought up again. After all, the Empress is twenty-two and placed in the homes of the common people, but she is a veritable old girl!

The affairs of the court could not be concealed from the people in the palace, and the servants who served had their own ways. Of course, the guards had already heard about it.

A pavilion elder presented a series of portraits and materials of aristocratic sons to the empress, and most of them even knew the specific candidates inside and outside the palace.

But at this time, it seems that this jade slave is not worse than those noble family sons, maybe there is any opportunity?

Didn't see him because of that face, was the Empress promoted to her side?

Thinking of this, the attendants unknowingly softened their expressions, and some people approached Qin Jue and told him some of the empress's habits and taboos.

These people are all serving the old female emperor, and they must know more than Qin Jue. Qin Jue listened very carefully. As for the reason for their sudden change of attitude, Qin Jue also guessed in his heart.

He doesn't care if they have ulterior motives, as long as the outcome is in his favor, he can pretend that nothing happened.

Being able to bend and stretch is easy for him, but Qin Jue doesn't have the arrogance that he would rather bend than bend. All appearances are disguise, he has long been unable to see what his real self looks like.

Maybe, like a mouse in a gutter, dark and twisted?

Time passed by carelessly, the palace door opened, Qin Jue and the attendants entered the palace, the sky was still dark, the air was filled with the smell of cool dew, the emperor's bedroom seemed to be shrouded in mist, and the thick vermilion pillars were carved with majestic figures. Panlong.

Perhaps it was all silence, and the voice in his heart could be heard more clearly. Standing there with his back to the heavy red lacquer gate, Qin Jue clearly felt the emotions surging in his chest for the first time.

Like a thin warm current, and like vines grown from seeds that broke out of the ground, circling around his chest.

The closer you get to her, the harder it is to restrain.

He listened carefully, discriminated carefully, and finally heard what it was saying, he really wanted it.

what do you want? want her.

He envied her, and even vaguely envied her. Obviously, the two have similar backgrounds, but the final outcome is completely different.

Qin Jue wanted to be like that, but he was destined not to.

He grew up in the dark and was destined to be unable to escape the attraction of light. He yearns for her and admires her, he wants her, he wants her to see him, just look at him, hug him, belong to him.

In the past, Qin Jue only wanted to live, but now Qin Jue only wants that powerful and dazzling woman like the sun.

Qin Jue thought, what should he do.

He has never been one to run away, and once he faces his needs, he will try to satisfy himself.

The first ray of morning light hit the ground, and the palace door opened behind him. With a squeak, the Empress walked out while the maids were waiting.

Qin Jue glanced at her without a trace. It was the first time he saw an empress in court clothes. She had high hair and a crown on her head. The hanging bead curtain blocked her face, so she couldn't see her specific expression.

Daxing respects black color. She is dressed in a complex and gorgeous black robe, and her whole body reveals a powerful and majestic aura.

The bead curtain swayed slightly, the Empress seemed to tilt her head and glanced at him, but Qin Jue blinked, and the Empress turned her head casually, as if it was just a meaningless glance.

Qin Jue pursed her lips, followed the Empress without a word, and went with her to the hall where the court meeting was held.

During the court meeting, there was no major event. Qin Jue watched his nose and nose and watched his heart, silently serving as his bodyguard. After the ministers below reported their routine work affairs, they wrote to the queen again to request the empress to establish her husband.

Standing at the back, Qin Jue couldn't see the empress's expression, but could only hear her voice, still in a casual tone: "What's the hurry, there are so many men in the world, are you afraid that you won't be able to find it?"

"Early establish the emperor's husband, and the country will be stable..." The old ministers began to babble again, saying that the country needs a successor, and His Majesty should have a child at his age.

Of course, it is impossible for them to say it directly, and no one will think that life is long, but that is what they mean inside and outside the words.

Not to mention that Qin Jue clenched his fists when he heard it from behind, even A Luo frowned slightly, raised his hand and patted the table in front of him, and said, "Enough."

A few days ago, they said it quite euphemistically, probably seeing that her objection was not as obvious as before, and her style was not so tough, they forgot who she was.

"Can you still remember that Gu is looking for the royal husband? Gu is looking for when he wants to, and whoever he is willing to find. As for giving birth to a child, there is no need for everyone to worry. Gu will not have children in this life."

When the words fell, there was an uproar, and all the loyal ministers knelt down on the ground, shouting to His Majesty to think again.

Qin Jue was also stunned by these words, and looked at the side face of the Empress behind the bead curtain.

He really never guessed her thoughts.

The night she first saw her, she had said that only the imperial husband could sleep on her bed. At that time, he subconsciously thought that the imperial husband who could be chosen by the empress must be a well-known and talented son of a family.

Now this guess has been overturned, and he vaguely heard from her words that she actually didn't care about the identity of the royal husband, or even the descendants.

She was different from all the women he had ever seen.

Qin Jue's thoughts were surging, and he was still paying attention to the conversation between the empress and the ministers, only to hear the empress say coldly: "Having a child is too damaging to a woman. In your eyes, should Gu be the same as other women in the back house?"

Among the group of ministers, only a young man standing in front of the crowd never made a sound, and at this moment he stood up and said: "I think your majesty's words are very true, your majesty is a hero, your safety is better than everything, and you Now, Daxing has become so powerful, and I believe that it will become even stronger in the future. Getting married and having children is a burden to you, and the children can be adopted from the clan, and you are the most rare treasure in Daxing."

The man's voice fell, and the hall was silent.

After a while, the Empress laughed loudly: "Xu Xiang won my heart! It's a reward!"

What can the other ministers say? Apart from agreeing, I dare not say anything.

At most, I scolded him in my heart, Xu Xiang is really cunning and cunning - even if Xu Xiang is not old at all.

Xu Yuzhou became famous as a teenager. He is also a son of an aristocratic family. He was admitted to fame when he was a teenager, and he was under the shadow of his ancestors. He became an official at a young age. Since then, he has shown extraordinary political talents. At the age of 28, he took the position of prime minister .

Although his speed in the upper position can be regarded as a horse, but he also has a point of criticism, that is, his wife's life.

Xu Yuzhou was engaged three times in total, and each time his fiancée died unexpectedly before entering the door. Later, no one told him to kiss him.

Others knew Xu Yuzhou well, but Qin Jue didn't know. At this moment, seeing the empress's kindness to the young prime minister, her heart couldn't help but lift.

In Qin Jue's eyes, Xu Xiang became the prime minister at a young age, and he must be very talented. His appearance is also very outstanding, although he is not as good as himself, but his calm demeanor adds a lot.

Does Xu Xiang have a wife? No, what if you get married?

In the Jersey Harem, there were several concubines who were originally courtiers' wives. Not only that, but she was also one of the emperor's three thousand beauties who was originally a concubine.

This thought crossed his mind, and in the next moment Qin Jue began to comfort himself again, the empress is not a person like her father, she would not do such a thing.

Thinking about it this way, I calmed down a little bit of the ups and downs.

The morning court routinely finished, and after the next court, the courtiers left one by one to deal with their own official duties, while the queen went to the imperial study to deal with the memorial.

Xu Yuzhou was walking on the road, and a minister laughed at him and said: "Xu Xiang, you said that today, it's not because you have been alone for a long time, you have to slam your majesty?"

"Chen Shilang said this? Does Chen Shilang think what he said is wrong?" Xu Yuzhou responded calmly.

Chen Shilang choked, he definitely couldn't say something wrong, he snorted immediately, and said, "Funny words are eloquent! I think your kid is making a bad idea!"

On this side, the two were bickering, and on the other side, Qin Jue asked one about Xu Xiang.

When the Empress entered the imperial study, there were several guards guarding outside, and she would not be noticed if she spoke in a low voice.

The person who was asked said mysteriously: "Xu Xiang? He is a famous bachelor in our imperial city. I heard what he said today. I guess Xu Xiangding is coveting the position of the emperor's husband. Look at him. With such outstanding conditions and loyalty to His Majesty, perhaps His Majesty will like him?"

"At that time, it will be less than one person and more than ten thousand people."
