Chapter 399 Many plans and calculations have become jokes
Li Chongyang's mind went blank for a moment, feeling that the development of things was beyond his expectation and a little out of control.
If she really takes Gu You as her concubine, what's the use of it all?
How to share a concubine's fortune with him?
The order officer then said: "If you have anything to say to His Majesty, you can go and ask to see Your Majesty. After all, it is useless for you to talk to this official."
"Your Majesty, please accept the order."
Li Chongyang was stunned again, staring at the imperial edict.
His Majesty's imperial decree has been issued and the edict has been read out in front of everyone. No matter what he thinks in his heart, at this time, he must accept the edict.
Failure to accept the order is disrespectful to His Majesty and is a crime of great disrespect.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Li Chongyang had no choice but to take the imperial edict with both hands, but there was no smile on his face.
The commander was still smiling: "Then I will retire first. Your Majesty is still waiting for me to return."
Li Chongyang pulled out a smile: "Let's walk slowly."
"Farewell."
The commander led his companions away in a swaggering manner. Li Chongyang looked at their backs, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
All the plans and schemes seemed to have become jokes at this time, mocking his incompetence.
If the person standing on the high ground is him, who can control his destiny and be his master?
But it was all because he was inferior to others.
On the other side of the Changning Marquis Mansion, Gu You had been locked up in the courtyard for nearly half a year. When he saw that the door of You Ruoyuan was finally opened, he couldn't help crying with joy, feeling that he could finally see the light of day again.
Now I knew in my heart that I was afraid and didn't dare to make any more trouble.
"The Tai Madam and Madam asked the eldest daughter to go and receive the order. Your Majesty has an imperial order coming down."
"Imperial decree? What imperial decree?" Gu You was confused for a moment.
"Young lady, just go and receive the order. Don't delay any longer. Your Majesty is still waiting."
Gu You had no choice but to follow him to the front yard.
When Mrs. Jiang heard that someone had come to convey the order, her heart was beating fast. She felt that something had happened. While she was waiting for Gu You to arrive, she couldn't help but ask her commander: "I dare to ask your Majesty, I don't know."
What is the purpose of His Majesty’s decree?”
Lingguan is the professional title of the person who delivers orders to His Majesty. His official position is not big, he is just a minor official, but he is also a close official of the Emperor.
The magistrate said with a smile: "Your Majesty's decree is all contained in this imperial edict. The specific details will not be known until the imperial edict is read out later, and I don't know now. However, when the imperial edict came down, three people were sent to deliver it, and one person went to the Prince Huainan's Mansion.
, one person went to Beitinghou Mansion."
Jiang's heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale: "Huainan Prince's Mansion? And Beitinghou Mansion?"
If there is anything in the Changning Marquis Mansion that can establish a relationship with the Huainan Prince's Mansion, and can issue imperial edicts together, the only possibility is probably marriage.
Your Majesty wants to grant a marriage.
But even if you want to grant a marriage, what does it have to do with the Beiting Hou Mansion?
Mrs. Zhou also thought of conferring a marriage. She was overjoyed. When she heard that Beitinghou Mansion also had an imperial edict, she couldn't help but ask, "But what does this matter have to do with Beitinghou Mansion?"
Even if they want to grant a marriage, it is also a matter between King Huainan and her daughter. What does it have to do with the Beiting Hou Mansion?
"The lower officials don't know about this."
Again I don’t know.
But no matter what, if he can get His Majesty's decree and Gu You can successfully marry into the Huainan Palace, Mrs. Zhou will be extremely happy. If Gu You can get this marriage and become a princess in the future, it will be really great.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but smile.
Her Ayou finally came to an end.
Jiang's face was still not good-looking. Not to mention that there was still something going on at the Beiting Hou Mansion. Even if Gu You was asked to marry King Huainan, she would not be willing to do so.
Although the position of princess is good, if Gu You is a good person, she also feels that this marriage is extremely good, and it will be a happy event for both Gu You and Changning Houfu.
But Gu You is careless.
With so many people suppressing her in the Changning Marquis Mansion, she could still cause so many things regardless of her family. If she were made the princess, not to mention what benefits it would bring to the Changning Marquis Mansion, she would still be able to cause trouble.
Implicated the Changning Marquis Mansion.
At this moment, Gu You arrived late.
Gu You had been imprisoned for a few days. This imperial edict came suddenly and he had no time to dress up. He was wearing a begonia red dress, with a gold hairpin on his head, and his face was clean.
When the magistrate saw that the important people had arrived, he first asked someone to deliver the imperial edict: "Your Majesty's imperial edict has arrived, and the Marquis of Changning will receive it -"
Jiang and Zhou led everyone to kneel down to listen to the order. Gu You stood in the room and looked at the people kneeling beside him. He didn't move. He felt a little awkward and refused to kneel down.
Seeing that she was still standing, Jiang's face turned dark: "Ayou!"
Hearing the warning in Jiang's tone, Gu You reluctantly knelt down.
She was still thinking in her heart, what kind of shabby place is this? People are forced to kneel down at every turn. It has no human rights at all. Thinking of the days she was locked up in Youruo Garden, she felt panic again, and she was really scared.
.
The commander glared at her before taking out the imperial edict and announcing it.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict:
I am very pleased to hear that Gu's Ayou, the daughter of Gu Heng, Marquis of Changning, is virtuous, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance.
Now I have a grand nephew, Li Chongyang, King Huainan. When the time comes for marriage, I should choose a virtuous daughter and a match. When Gu Shi Ayou is waiting in the boudoir, I specially give Gu Shi Ayou to King Huainan as a side concubine.
Admire this.
Thank you——”
Zhou's face was full of joy at the beginning, but when she heard the word 'concubine' at the end, the smile on her face almost froze, causing her whole face to become distorted.
"What? Concubine? Why is she a concubine?"
How could she be a concubine?
"Our Ayou is the eldest daughter of the Hou family!"
Your Majesty is magnanimous, and he is not someone who likes to suppress his ministers. Gu You, the eldest daughter of the Marquis Mansion, is one of the most noble. Even if His Majesty takes a fancy to him and wants to marry him, he will not let anyone do it.
Be a concubine.
The side concubine is the side concubine of the palace. To put it bluntly, she is also a concubine. She has no marriage certificate and no three books and six etiquette. She will have to be subordinate to the princess in the future.
No matter how good the palace is, even better families would not want their girls to be concubines.
Gu You seemed to have been slapped in the face, his mind was confused and he couldn't think at the moment.
"Concubine? What concubine?" Her voice couldn't help but become sharper, "What concubine?"
This is impossible!
impossible!
He actually asked her to be his concubine?
Even if the other party is the emperor, he cannot control a person's destiny like this and make someone a concubine!
Gu You is going crazy. She doesn't even want to be a princess, let alone a concubine?!
"I don't agree. Even the emperor can't..."
"Ayou, shut up!" Before Gu You could finish his words, he was cut off by Jiang's scolding, "Don't be so presumptuous and disrespectful to His Majesty!"
