"The girl from the Beiting Hou Mansion was chosen by your mother for you, and her background is enough to be your princess. Since she is her favorite daughter-in-law, I can't help but care about her thoughts."
"As for the girl from the Changning Marquis Mansion, I know you like her, but her reputation is tarnished. She doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth, and she doesn't know the right and wrong of etiquette, so I can only make you my concubine."
Li Chongyang wanted to plead again: "I also know what your Majesty said, but I only have Miss Gu in my heart. I have promised to marry her before. If I let her relegate to the position of concubine, I will be ashamed of my original intention."
promise."
"Please, Your Majesty, be considerate of me and don't be the one who breaks your oath."
When the emperor saw him kowtow and bow down, his eyes could not help but turn cold.
At this point, I still don’t know how to repent.
Although he had known that this grandnephew was ambitious, when he saw it for real, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. If a woman like Gu You didn't have other agendas, she would have to be blind and mentally damaged.
I must marry her.
"If you were just an ordinary person, it would be fine if you married her. But now you are a member of the royal family and a county king. The wife you will marry in the future will be a county princess. She needs to set an example, and she also needs to be clear-headed and able to succeed.
live."
"The daughter of the Gu family has no regard for her family, is unscrupulous, does not know the bounds of heaven and earth, and disrespects the king and elders. She has made the family restless and separated all her brothers and sisters."
"If this woman!" The emperor reached out and patted the table, as if he was very angry, "If you hadn't been involved with her and insisted on marrying her, how could she have entered the Li family and given her the position of concubine?
It’s a mercy!”
Li Chongyang was startled and lowered his head.
The emperor swept away his sleeves and said with a cold expression: "Don't say such words again from now on. I absolutely disagree with the Li family having such a shameless and arrogant daughter-in-law!"
Seeing that the emperor seemed really angry, Li Chongyang knew that the emperor would never change his mind, so he finally had to agree, not daring to plead again, and then bowed and resigned.
After Li Chongyang left, the emperor saw the prince coming in and warned him: "He cannot marry Gu You as his concubine. You cannot agree to this at any time."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bowed and saluted: "My son, please remember this."
The emperor swept his sleeves and finally felt better: "Go back when you're done."
The prince responded: "Yes."
The emperor thought for a while and reminded: "Come back tomorrow."
The prince paused, finally said yes, and then left to go to the study.
Dad, does he feel comfortable being lazy?
.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the Changning Marquis Mansion. The family gathered in the Shou'an Hall. Mr. Jiang sat at the head of the table, closed his eyes and rolled his beads. Mr. Zhou sat aside and cried quietly with a handkerchief, wiping her tears with the handkerchief.
.
She was so confused and scared that she didn't know what to do.
Gu Zhixuan and Gu Zhifeng sat together with cold expressions on their faces: "Why did your Majesty suddenly issue an order?"
Mrs. Zhou was panic-stricken: "Who knows why Your Majesty suddenly granted a marriage? My Ayou, the eldest daughter of the noble Marquis, wants to be taken as a concubine. Lord Marquis, you must save her."
Marquis Changning's face was as dark as water, and his eyes were cold. He thought about this matter carefully, and then looked at Mr. Zhou: "Did you do something?"
Zhou was startled by his words and even shed tears: "No, it's nothing. What can I do?"
Marquis Changning frowned, a little disbelieving: "According to logic, Your Majesty should also understand that I have no intention of marrying her, and it is impossible for me to do this marriage thing again..."
He did not agree to the marriage at the Huainan Palace because he did not want Gu You to marry. His Majesty knew this in his heart. If he wanted to marry Gu You into the royal family, he should have come down from the beginning.
Thinking of her previous plan with King Huainan, Mrs. Zhou panicked and clenched her handkerchief tightly, her face turned frighteningly pale in an instant.
Marquis Changning did not miss the change on her face, and immediately his heart felt like a fire was burning: "What on earth did you do?"
I'm really going to be pissed off, pissed off!
Marquis Changning felt that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He originally thought that by locking up Gu You and not marrying her off, the matter would be settled, but he did not expect that something happened to his family.
Zhou was scared in her heart, but she also knew that the matter at hand was not trivial, so she did not dare to hide it, so she told all the previous events: "I went to see King Huainan before and talked with him about something...
"
At this point, Ms. Zhou lowered her head guiltily: "He will help to let Mr. Hou and Ah Xuan be among the people sent out to check the spring plowing this time, and I, my mother-in-law and I will go to Yunzhong Temple to stay temporarily to pray for blessings."
"When the Marquis and A-Xuan leave the house, I will excuse myself from family matters and return from Yunzhong Temple temporarily to arrange a marriage for him and A-You." After the marriage is settled, the betrothal gift is collected, and the engagement letter is written, that's it.
It was impossible for Changning Marquis Gu Zhixuan and the Jiang family to stop him.
"Master Hou! I am doing this all for Ayou! She is my biological daughter! How can I bear to let her be imprisoned for the rest of her life!" Mrs. Zhou burst into tears, "And her reputation has been ruined, so she can only be married to her."
King of the South!"
"Master Hou..."
But she didn't know why. It was clear that she only had to wait for a while to succeed, but His Majesty suddenly issued an order to make Gu You the concubine. All her efforts and planning were in vain.
Mrs. Jiang stopped spinning the beads, opened her eyes and looked at her daughter-in-law. After a long time, she closed her eyes and continued spinning.
Chant the Buddha's name more often, be broad-minded and don't get angry.
"Shut up!" Marquis Changning suddenly stood up, not even saving any face for Zhou, "How many times have I told you, how many times have I told you, she can't get married, even if she wants to get married,
Nor can they be members of the royal family!"
"You and King Huainan are planning this together. Do you really think that His Majesty has no eyes and ears?!"
Marquis Changning is really going crazy, and His Majesty is not too busy to send people to every house to keep an eye on him, but Gu You, with the title of 'Tianfeng's Destiny', will definitely let people pay attention occasionally, if anything happens
Just report back.
I am afraid that His Majesty already knew about this when the Zhou family came into contact with King Huainan.
Zhou's mind was buzzing, and her whole body felt like it had been through water and fire. She didn't know what to do: "Then what should we do now? Otherwise, you should tell His Majesty that it's us.
If you choose someone else to marry during your tryst, you won’t marry into the royal family.”
Marquis Changning twitched his lips: "It's too late now."
The imperial edict has been issued, do you think it can be discussed?
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help crying again: "What should Ayou do? What should she do? Do you really want her to be a concubine? The concubine of the palace may sound nice, but in the end she is just a concubine.
.”
"And the princess is Shen Mingzhu from the Beiting Hou Mansion. She is the niece of Concubine Shen. What good can we, Ayou, do in the future..."
