Chapter 22 Stepping into the Pit of Fire
Gu Lingyi was smart. How could she not know what Chu Wanxiang's title meant? She immediately called out the title: "Princess Minghuang, I haven't seen her for a long time."
I remember the last time I saw Chu Wanxiang, it was probably when she was about seven years old. At that time, she was sent to Nanzhao by her father, and her aunt took her to Minghuang Mountain.
When they met again after nine years, Gu Ling fell in love with this cousin.
"How is the princess doing in Yujing?" Gu Ling asked, this was something he had always been worried about.
Ever since he learned that Nanzhao had changed hands and that Chu Wanxiang had gone to Beijing as a hostage, his father had often been so worried about her safety that he could not sleep, for fear that she would be wronged in Yujing.
They wanted to send someone to inquire about Yu Jing, but the emperor's eyes were fixed on his, and their people couldn't find a chance at all.
It wasn't until Zhang Meiwu reappeared in the world that his father finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he could be sure that his niece was still alive and well.
"Thank you, Miss Gu, for your concern. Minghuang takes good care of you in Yujing."
She explained her situation indirectly when she said she took care of herself.
As a proton, although there are rules not to do wrong things, there are always some people who, relying on some privileges, like to break the rules to gain satisfaction.
Xiao Min and Chen Xin'er are such people.
"Everything is fine with the princess." Gu Lingyi understood the meaning of her words: "My father and I have always missed the princess."
"When we come back this time, if nothing else happens, we will stay in Yujing. If the princess feels bored, the door of the Hou Mansion will always be open to the princess."
An orphan girl stayed in this dark and turbulent Yujing for a whole year.
Gu Lingyi felt extremely distressed when he thought of the trembling days.
He reached out his hand and gently patted the back of Chu Wanxiang's hand as a way to cheer up his cousin.
Although this kind of comfort had no real effect, Chu Wanxiang really felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
Looking back at Gu Lingyi, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"Gu Qing, Ling Yi, how old are you this year?"
Beilinghuang asked seemingly casually, and then sounded the alarm for Chu Wanxiang and Zhenbei Hou.
It seems that Beilinghuang's target is Gu Lingyi.
"Back to the emperor, Ling Yi is fifteen years old this year."
Gu Ling Geng responded with a blessing. She had just finished her wedding gift a few days ago.
"Fifteen years old..." Beilinghuang smiled slightly and looked left and right at the queen and concubine.
"It's time to get married. I don't know if there will be a marriage."
Marquis Zhenbei's heart tightened. Could it be that the emperor wanted to marry Ling Yi?
If this is the case, no matter who the emperor assigns Ling Yi to, Ling Yi will always be trapped in Yujing. In this case, she will become a hostage in disguise just like Wan Xiang.
"Back to the emperor, she is in Supernatural...not married yet."
Zhenbei Hou opened his mouth carefully to answer, thinking about what to do next.
"How can this be done? It's time for male college students to get married, and it's time for female college students to get married. Lingyi is already fifteen years old and hasn't gotten married yet. If you wait a few more years, it will be difficult to find such a good girl. You can't delay, Your Majesty.
, what do you think?" Lin Wan saw that Beiling Huang wanted to tie up Gu Lingyi to restrain the Marquis of Zhenbei, so she sang a song and sent a message to Beiling Huang.
"The noble lady is right. I think Lingyi is well-educated and has a dignified temperament. I really like it. Coincidentally, the child, Moran, is old and it's time to start a family. They are both talented and beautiful. I
I think they are a perfect match.”
Mo Ran is Chu Yan's character.
When the Marquis of Zhenbei heard that Emperor Beiling was going to marry his daughter to the third prince, it was like a bolt from the blue.
A trace of anger quickly flashed across Chu Wanxiang's eyes.
She knew exactly what kind of virtue Chu Yan was.
In her previous life, Gu Lingyi was forced to marry him and tortured to death. She still remembered the traces of humiliation on Gu Lingyi's body on the day of the funeral.
How could she let her cousin step into a pit of fire again in this life?
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince's status is noble, but the girl's talents are mediocre. I'm afraid she is not worthy of the Third Prince."
Gu Changfeng knelt down and lowered his head, wording his words carefully.
Let’s not talk about Xiaoyan’s inappropriate behavior. Let’s just talk about his identity and his mother, Lin Xiaoconcubine, who is not easy to get along with.
Furthermore, once Chu Yan's faction intervenes, Zi Lingyi will fall into the whirlpool of the palace and never return.
As a father, Gu Changfeng absolutely did not want his biological daughter to step into the mud, so he had to find a way to reject the marriage no matter what.
However, how can it be so easy to evade matters decided by the royal family?
From the beginning, Emperor Beiling wanted to bring Gu Lingyi into the royal family as an important measure to contain Zhen Bei. How could he let go of this opportunity today?
"Marquis of Zhenbei, don't say that. I like Lingyi very much because he is very obedient and quiet. Even if you are at the border all year round and are not familiar with the rules of the palace, you often come to this palace. I will personally
Teach you how to see."
Lin Wan has been favored in the palace for so long, and her abilities are unmatched by others.
Zhenbei Hou's rejection was easily blocked by her in a few words. This not only made him unable to refuse Beiling Emperor's proposal, but also allowed him to further control Gu Lingyi.
Teach me personally. Haha, this noble concubine’s calculations are really clever.
Chu Wanxiang secretly said in his heart that he would teach her personally. If his cousin really did what he said, it would be even harder to refuse this marriage.
Chu Yan was Lin Wan's father and son. How could he not know that Gu Lingyi had entered the palace? At that time, it was not the mother and son who conspired to frame the cousin.
"..." The Marquis of Zhenbei was speechless and remained silent.
I was very anxious and wanted to find a reason to refuse, but I couldn't think of how to say it.
Chu Wanxiang sighed. After all, his uncle was the commander of the army. In terms of calculations, he was not as good as the scheming nobles in the palace.
"Master Hou, when Minghuang heard the news of his wife's death a few days ago, he was deeply saddened, because Minghuang cannot leave Bei without authorization, otherwise he will express his condolences there."
With her red lips slightly open, Chu Wanxiang showed an apologetic expression and blessed Marquis Zhenbei with her body.
After hearing this, Chu Mohan stood up tacitly and bowed to Emperor Beiling: "Father, my son also heard that Madam Zhenbeihou passed away due to illness not long ago.
They are all paying tribute to her.”
The period of filial piety is generally three years, and it is common sense that marriage is not allowed within three years.
Emperor Beiling highly valued filial piety and he attached great importance to maintaining it.
Therefore, when the word "filial piety" comes out, Beiling Huang's words will naturally be blocked.
Beilinghuang was surprised when he heard this, and the smile on his face faded a lot.
