No wonder Shunzi couldn't help shaking her head and sighing in front of him sometimes.
Based on his experience of being deceived by women all the time, he should indeed sigh.
The emperor hesitated for a moment and then said: "The King of the Western Regions sent people to discuss with the emperor in advance. He wants to resolve the disputes between the two countries through marriage so that both sides can have peace in their hearts."
Li Cangjue sneered and said, "Could it be that the King of the Western Regions wants to marry Yanluo to me?"
The emperor nodded and said: "You can refuse. After all, I don't look down on Yanluo. The things she did in Lizhou City were really dirty. And why should this woman compare with Lu Qingying?"
In the emperor's heart, Gu Qingying now has a transcendent status.
If nothing else, just the things that Gu Qingying did in Yuncheng were enough to make him admire him.
When Li Cangjue heard the emperor mention Gu Qingying, he felt a little uncomfortable and said, "It's because the emperor praised her too much."
The emperor glanced at Li Cangjue and sighed: "Don't you understand yet? You and Gu Qingying are a perfect match, but you didn't know how to cherish them at the beginning. What are you going to do when you come back this time? Are you going to fight for it? Or find someone else who is suitable.
woman?"
He wanted to hear Li Cangjue's thoughts.
Regarding Gu Qingying, he couldn't ask any more questions. General Gu had already shown his dissatisfaction last time. He knew best how many sacrifices the Gu family and his son had made to the Tianyuan Kingdom over the years.
Originally, he wanted Li Cangjue to take good care of Gu Qingying so that he and General Gu could get closer, but Li Cangjue messed up.
A flash of determination flashed in Li Cangjue's eyes: "She can only be mine."
The emperor couldn't help but frowned: "I am a person who has experienced it. I would like to advise you, you should not use strong methods to treat Gu Qingying. You must be gentle and use your attitude to influence her, you know?"
He was afraid that Li Cangjue would use the wrong method and make the relationship with Gu Qingying even worse.
Li Cangjue left the palace, and when he returned to Zhennan Palace, Li Jingyi came to the door.
After not seeing each other for two years, the childishness on Li Jingyi's face has disappeared.
Li Jingyi was particularly attached to Li Cangjue. She stepped forward and took Li Cangjue's arm and said, "Brother, you are finally back. I miss you so much!"
Li Cangjue took his arm out of Li Jingyi's arms, looked at Li Jingyi helplessly and said, "You are already a grown man, and you have to avoid suspicion with your brother, you know? Otherwise, it will tarnish your reputation.
"
He was doing it for Li Jingyi's good, not because he disliked Li Jingyi.
Li Jingyi curled her lips and said dissatisfied: "Brother, you only know how to preach and teach me a lesson. I miss you too much. How many letters did you write to me after you went to the border for two years? Every time I want to know your
We can only go to my father to get the news."
Li Jingyi was full of resentment when talking about this matter.
Li Cangjue was even more helpless: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. No matter what happens in the future, I will tell you whether it's okay or not! Are you having a good time in the Imperial City..."
The brother and sister began to chat.
Five days later, General Gu and his son made a triumphant return. This time it was even more lively than when they welcomed Li Cangjue. The emperor himself was waiting at the city gate.
The crowd was noisy, and the emperor stood at the front, looking at the leader, General Gu, excitedly.
The emperor admired the Gu family and his son very much and was very grateful.
This time the war in Beiliang was difficult to deal with. The opponent's army of 100,000 was not fake. In addition, there was a rich supply of food and grass. Wanyan Lie was leading the army. He originally thought that General Gu would lose.
General Gu and Gu Xiao saluted, and the emperor immediately helped them up. Long Yan was delighted.
The soldiers and officials returned to the court.
The emperor gave me another great reward.
There will be a banquet in the palace tonight, and the emperor will invite General Gu, his son and Li Cangjue to the banquet.
This is a celebration party!
The favored princess and prince were also invited.
Gu Xiao drank a little too much because he was in a good mood.
Returning to the Imperial City would allow him to live a stable life for a few years. This was something he had always looked forward to.
After three rounds of drinking, General Gu was also a little drunk.
The emperor suddenly changed the subject and said, "Gu Xiao, you are not married yet, are you? Have you made any arrangements for marriage?"
Gu Xiao, who was a little drunk, suddenly became energetic.
But he couldn't tell lies in front of the emperor, so he quickly said: "There has never been a marriage."
The emperor's eyes fell on Li Jingyi.
He has been thinking about this matter. He has not arranged Li Jingyi's marriage because he thought of Gu Xiao.
I had talked to Li Jingyi about several good young masters before, but they were all rejected by Li Jingyi.
He had investigated and found that Li Jingyi and Gu Qingying had a very good relationship.
Not only that, Li Jingyi was not very repulsive towards Gu Xiao. The last time he mentioned Gu Xiao to Li Jingyi.
Li Jingyi was still a little worried.
He wanted to get closer to General Gu, and also wanted to get closer to each other.
If Li Jingyi and Gu Xiao get married, maybe Gu Xiao will persuade Gu Qingying to persuade Li Cangying to continue their relationship.
At least in his opinion, the two of them were a perfect match.
It is really a pity that it has come to this point.
Li Jingyi felt the emperor's gaze and her face suddenly turned red.
She quickly lowered her head. She was not stupid. The last time the emperor asked her, she knew what the emperor was thinking. To be honest, the only young master in the imperial city that she liked was Gu Xiao.
It would be best if she could marry Gu Xiao, then wouldn't she become Sister Qingying's sister-in-law?
When I thought of this, I blushed even more.
We are all thousand-year-old foxes. Of course General Gu understands what the emperor means.
But he didn't stop it.
If it were any other princess, he would definitely not agree.
But Li Jingyi is good, he also likes this girl, and his relationship with Gu Qingying has always been good.
Seeing Li Jingyi's blushing face, the emperor continued: "The emperor thinks there is a marriage suitable for you, are you willing?"
Gu Xiao turned to look at General Gu.
General Gu just smiled, and Gu Xiao understood a little bit and said: "Let the emperor make the decision."
The emperor laughed and was in a good mood: "The emperor is going to have three blessings today. The ninth princess has not said anything about marriage. What do you think of the marriage between the two of you?"
Gu Xiao looked at Li Jingyi unexpectedly, and just in time Li Jingyi raised her head to look at Gu Xiao. Their eyes met, and they actually avoided it with a guilty conscience.
All the officials present were experienced, and they all smiled and said nothing.
Li Cangjue rarely stopped him.
He also thought that this marriage was a good one. Apart from anything else, he said that Gu Xiao was a good person and an upright person.
The Gu family are also very good. General Gu is kind and kind. It is indeed a good destination for Li Jingyi to marry into the Gu family.
Gu Xiao didn't have any objections. When he sat down, his head was a little groggy. After drinking a glass of wine, he felt the burning sensation in his throat, and then he realized that all this was not a dream, it was all real!
He raised his head and looked at Li Jingyi again. The two of them didn't know what kind of tacit understanding they had, but their eyes met again. This time, Gu Xiao did not avoid looking away, but looked at Li Jingyi with a red face.
