Chapter 240 Brother Guo Shi is the one she said she would marry
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is over, and midsummer is soon ushering in.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and this year seems to be even hotter than last year.
Emperor Xuanping looked at the little breasts, which made his face flush with heat, and his forehead was covered with sweat, and he had an idea. Considering that there were no major events in the court recently, he might as well take Xiao Jiuer to the palace to escape the summer heat.
However, just when he was about to give the order to leave, he suddenly received a secret report.
King Guangling traveled in a simple carriage and entered Beijing privately!
This secret report burned Emperor Xuanping's hand.
According to the imperial decree, with the status of King Guangling and being given a fiefdom as a prince, he is not allowed to enter the capital privately without being summoned. Once he enters the capital privately, it will be regarded as a serious crime!
But the problem is that King Guangling is not an ordinary prince of a fiefdom. He is the younger brother of the late emperor. The age difference between him and Emperor Xuanping is only six years. The two of them were close friends when they were young. It is not surprising that they grew up together.
Too much.
Emperor Xuanping was really embarrassed when someone with such a relationship did such a thing.
On the one hand, it is a matter of national law and on the other hand, it is a personal relationship.
And just when he was in trouble, King Guangling handed him a piece of information. The piece of information said that he suddenly fell seriously ill and that long-term treatment in the fiefdom was useless. He heard that the miracle doctor Chu Hanchen was in the capital and had a good personal relationship with Princess Lingfu, so he hurried in.
After arriving in Beijing, he said that because of his urgent condition, he could not write a memorial to Emperor Xuanping in advance, so he set off directly.
Upon hearing this reason, Emperor Xuanping breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was for no reason, then King Guangling would have to be treated as guilty no matter what. But when seeking medical treatment for an acute illness, one would naturally be exempted.
Therefore, Emperor Xuanping claimed in the morning court the next morning that he had not seen King Guangling for many years and learned that he was suffering from a sudden illness a few days ago, so he privately summoned him to Beijing for treatment.
When the courtiers heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
It is true that it has never happened before that the emperor privately summoned the king to the capital.
If the emperor wants to see him, he can invite him openly and openly. Why should he do it secretly in private? Unless there is something else to hide.
The two oldest old foxes, Prime Minister Jiang and Emperor Shi, understood what was going on almost immediately. However, the two old men pretended to be confused and were too lazy to expose Emperor Xuanping's lame lies. Anyway, they secretly sent a letter in private.
Just give it to the Queen Mother.
So just like that, the arrival of King Guangling changed from an unreasonable thing to a reasonable thing.
And so, after Yu Jiujiu heard from the Jiang family that two uncles were privately complaining about their unreliable father, he returned to the palace and met the legendary King Guangling.
Dad's royal uncle.
According to her seniority, she had to be called "Uncle Royal".
"Jiujiu has met the emperor's uncle." Yujiujiu obeyed Emperor Xuanping's instructions and bowed obediently. Then he raised his head and looked at the King of Guangling curiously with his clear and flawless eyes.
I saw that he was still very young, less than forty years old, with a face as white as jade, a pair of romantic and sentimental peach blossom eyes, a high bridge of nose, and a slightly cynical curve on his thin lips. At first glance, he seemed to be someone who liked to have fun.
No wonder his uncle would complain about him in private, saying that back then he loved to take his father around for fun instead of doing his job, and he almost taught his father a bad lesson.
For this reason, the imperial grandmother disliked this King Guangling very much.
Yu Jiujiu follows her feelings. If the imperial grandmother doesn’t like people, she also decides not to like them!
As for daddy liking it...
Humph, she expressed doubts about her father's vision of dating!
"So this is the Emperor's most beloved Princess Lingfu! She is really ice-snow and smart, and you will fall in love with her at first sight!" At this time, King Guangling looked at the little breasts in front of him and said with a smile,
He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and said, "This is a meeting gift for the little princess. I hope the little princess likes it."
The palace attendant immediately stepped forward and handed the brocade box to Yu Jiu Jiu.
Yu Jiujiu opened it and saw inside was a delicately crafted ruby bracelet inlaid with golden flower branches.
"Thank you, uncle." Yu Jiujiu raised her little face and smiled sweetly at Prince Guangling.
Even if you decide in your heart that you don't like it, you still have to save face.
"Don't be polite, little princess. I still have many beautiful bracelets there. I just went to Beijing in a hurry this time. When I get cured and go back, I will personally select some and send them to the little princess." King Guangling said.
Face said gently.
"Uncle, you are being polite. We are all one family, so there is no need to give Jiujiu so many gifts." Yu Jiujiu said immediately and sensibly.
"Haha! Your Majesty, you have really raised a good daughter! Alas, Qingyao is not like me. She is almost at the age of marriage, and she is still unruly and willful all day long, giving me a headache!" King Guangling
Said with great sigh.
No father doesn’t like others to praise his daughter.
Emperor Xuanping almost blurted out "Of course".
"Speaking of which, didn't Qingyao enter the palace with the emperor's uncle?" he asked with a smile.
"Here he is, but this girl started clamoring to find her brother Shuyan as soon as she entered the palace! She immediately ran away without a trace! Fortunately, this is not the first time she has entered the palace!" King Guangling said this with extreme helplessness.
On the other hand, Yu Jiu Jiu, who was playing with the ruby bracelet in her little hand, couldn't help but raise her head when she heard this.
"Brother, Imperial Master?" she asked with some sensitivity.
"Yes, the little princess doesn't know something. The little Imperial Master and the minister's daughter Qingyao grew up together. The little Imperial Master's mother is Qingyao's aunt!" King Guangling said with a smile.
"That's it." Yu Jiujiu nodded with some understanding.
It was because of this that she suddenly realized that her understanding of the young master was too superficial.
She only knew that the young master was the young pavilion master of Tianyan Sect, and that he was proficient in stargazing and divination at a young age. At most, she only knew that the little master’s birthday was July 11th, which she only knew two months ago...
But it seems that other than that, she knows nothing about the little national master.
She didn't know who his parents were or how he grew up.
Inexplicably, Yu Jiujiu felt a little stuck in her heart.
However, more congestion soon came.
"Daddy!" Following a cute voice, the next thing that came into view was a girl in a beautiful red dress. She walked into the hall with her arms around the tall and tall boy.
The person who came was the daughter of Prince Guangling, Princess Yu Qingyao of Nanchu, and the person holding her arm was Pei Shuyan, the junior national master.
"You girl, no matter how big or small, why don't you hurry up and meet the emperor!" King Guangling was also very happy to see his daughter, but he still pretended to scold her.
"Qingyao pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor!" Yu Qingyao stuck out her tongue, then let go of Pei Shuyan, knelt down and saluted Emperor Xuanping respectfully.
"Get back on your feet." Emperor Xuanping looked kindly. He watched Yu Qingyao get up and said to King Guangling, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Qingyao for many years. In the blink of an eye, she has grown so big."
"Yes, the last time I returned to Beijing, Qingyao was only six years old. At that time, Princess Lingfu hadn't even been born yet!" King Guangling said.
"Time flies so fast. How old is Qingyao this year? I vaguely remember that she must be twelve or thirteen years old?" Emperor Xuanping tried hard to remember.
"She is already thirteen this year! In two years she will have haircuts and it's time to get married! But she is still so frizzy all day long. I'm really worried that she won't be able to get married in the future!" King Guangling said to his daughter.
She was disgusted, but the expression on her face was only fondness.
"How could it be? Qingyao is so tall and graceful that she doesn't have to worry about getting married!" Emperor Xuanping immediately praised her, but in fact, he felt in his heart that this Yu Qingyao was far inferior to his small breasts!
When King Guangling heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Dad always looks down on me. Do you still need to worry about my marriage?" Yu Qingyao said with a smile. She hugged Pei Shuyan's arm with both hands, tilted her head and leaned in.
, said with a happy face, "When I reach the age of marriage, brother Shuyan will definitely marry me!"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xuanping burst into laughter.
King Guangling looked helpless.
But Yu Jiujiu, who was held in Emperor Xuanping's arms, changed slightly.
She looked at Pei Shuyan and saw him letting Yu Qingyao hold his arms and leaning on him, her little head tilted, and she thought, does the little national master already have someone he likes in his heart?
And her look, in Pei Shuyan's eyes, seemed like she was unhappy.
Pei Shuyan pursed his lips, suddenly raised his hand, pushed Yu Qingyao away mercilessly, and then said with a cold expression on his face: "Sister Qingyao, please don't joke, you and I are brothers and sisters, there is no way we can get married."
One sentence successfully stunned Yu Qingyao.
But she may have been rejected too many times, so she quickly wanted to lean in again without caring: "Brother Shuyan is the one who likes to joke. We are cousins, not biological brothers and sisters! My mother said, if the two of us
Getting married means getting closer and closer!"
However, Pei Shuyan took another step back without shame, avoiding her approach: "That was just what your mother said, not me."
His refusal was so obvious that Yu Qingyao finally lost her temper.
Even King Guangling's expression changed slightly.
But Yu Jiujiu, the breath that was blocked in his heart before was inexplicably smoother.
At this time, she was nestling comfortably in Emperor Xuanping's arms, and suddenly said with a smile: "I think Brother Guoshi is right, getting married is to be with the person you like, not to choose to be with the person you are closest to!
What’s more, I’ve read in books that if close relatives get married, the children born will most likely be stupid!”
Huh, Brother Guoshi is the person she said she wanted to marry!
Although Xiao Naituan is young and far from the age to get married, she is very domineering!
This is what Yu Qingyao has never wanted to hear since she was a child.
At this time, she glanced at the small breast nestled in Emperor Xuanping's arms, and couldn't help but show the contemptuous look of an adult looking at a childish child, and said lightly: "Reading? How old are you, and how many words do you know?
