The eldest prince paced back and forth slowly with his hands behind his back, his face was very troubled, and he seemed to still be hesitant in his heart.
Gu Zhili was not in a hurry and took the opportunity to continue: "Your Highness, it is for your own good that you marry a daughter of a famous family! As the saying goes, the power behind your wife will be the power behind His Highness in the future. This is for you
It is beneficial and harmless. It will allow you to quickly gain a foothold in the court and no longer be constrained by Liu Bingwen!"
Hearing these words, the eldest prince was completely distracted.
When he thought of being able to compete with the Queen, Liu Bingwen and others in the future, Han Yan was forgotten.
He quickly handed over his hand to Gu Zhili and asked in a low voice: "What Mr. Gu said is very reasonable, but I rarely interact with the ministers on weekdays, and I don't have a clue at the moment. I wonder if Mr. Gu has any suggestions?"
Seeing that the time was right, Gu Zhili finally said: "I have a girl named Sisi. She has just turned eighteen and is still waiting to be married. Although her appearance is not a beautiful one, she is dignified and beautiful. My wife has been carefully cultivated since she was a child.
Therefore, the little girl knows a thing or two about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as poems and songs. If His Highness does not dislike it, I am willing to dedicate my daughter to you! You can rest assured that after the marriage, I will definitely give instructions to my daughter and will never compete with His Highness’s sweetheart, and will give her to her as soon as possible.
A woman named Han Yan came to the door!"
As he spoke, a glimmer of light flashed in his old eyes.
At this point, no matter how immature the eldest prince was, he understood Gu Zhili's thoughts.
He did not reply immediately, but had his own plan in mind: Gu Zhili first offered the mansion and then his daughter. It was obvious that he wanted to please himself.
Although he has never met Gu Sisi, Gu Zhili's power in the court is definitely not comparable to that of Liu Bingwen and Wang Su.
At present, he is the only minister who has actively shown kindness to me, and it is his only possibility.
Thinking of this, he smiled with relief: "Master Gu is so thoughtful, how can I not accept it! However, I am still worried whether my father and mother can agree to this marriage? You also know that my mother has always hoped that I can marry Liu
The daughter of the clan..."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry!" Gu Zhili said with a cupped hand: "As long as I can convince the emperor to agree to this marriage, the queen will naturally not dare to say anything! I have Mr. Wang here to speak kindly in front of the emperor, so the emperor must not be able to refuse!"
The eldest prince laughed and said, "Okay! If you can get your father to agree to this marriage, I will make your daughter the princess!"
Gu Zhili was overjoyed and bowed deeply: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will definitely accomplish this!"
The eldest prince nodded proudly. He raised his eyes and looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him. He also thought that his wings would be growing in the future, and his heart was filled with joy and joy...
——State your position——
The afterglow of dusk casts a faint light on the golden glazed tiles, making Ziwei City look particularly majestic.
The eldest prince's face was full of spring breeze, and he walked towards Chenghuan Hall with brisk steps.
Because just now, Gu Zhili came to deliver a message - he and Wang Su would go to the emperor today to convince the emperor to grant a marriage to him and Gu Sisi!
For him, this is a great joy:
With Wang Su here, the emperor would certainly not deny this face.
Once the marriage is completed, he will not only be able to establish his own power through Gu Zhili. It will not be difficult for him to marry Han Yan in the future!
Although it was getting late today, he still went into the palace to pay his respects to the queen as usual.
Because today, he still has one big thing to do, something he has wanted to do for a long time:
He wanted to tell the queen this big news in front of her! He wanted to completely shatter all her illusions!
I also want her to know that she is not weak and will not let them control her all the time!
When he thought of seeing it with his own eyes, the look on the queen's face made the blood in his body boil instantly!
In Chenghuan Hall, Aunt Yuexiu filed out of the palace with a group of maids.
The eldest prince walked over and asked Yuexiu: "Has the queen finished her dinner? I want to go and pay her respects!"
Yuexiu Yingying bowed and said with a smile on her face: "Hey, it's really unlucky for Your Highness to come here! If I knew you were coming today, I would definitely be waiting to have dinner with you!"
But the eldest prince said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I have already eaten, I just went in to see her and then left!"
Yuexiu smiled slightly, immediately moved out of the way, and leaned forward to let him in.
The hall was brightly lit with candles, and the queen was sitting at the table drinking tea.
When she saw the eldest prince coming in, she immediately smiled and waved, calling: "Zhen'er, you're here! Come and sit with me!"
The eldest prince bowed respectfully, then walked over and sat next to her, and said respectfully: "My mother looks very good today, but did anything happy happen?" qo.o
The queen looked at him lovingly, smiled slightly and said, "I have a great thing to tell you!"
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly: "Oh? But my mother is pregnant, am I going to be the elder brother?"
He knew clearly that the emperor would not come again, but he still asked because he wanted to see the empress' embarrassment.
The queen was startled at first, and her expression turned dark as expected: "Hey, your father is very busy on weekdays, so he rarely comes here. Besides, I am old, how can you get pregnant so easily!"
The eldest prince sneered in his heart as if he had succeeded, but pretended to be regretful on his face: "Don't be impatient, queen! I heard that the Taoist priest's elixir is very effective. As long as you take good care of your body, I believe it won't take long for your wish to come true!"
The eldest prince's words suddenly shocked the queen.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the eldest prince, and asked tentatively: "Zhen'er, do you... really hope that I will have another child?"
The eldest prince smiled and was very respectful: "The Queen Mother is compassionate. In order to raise the child, she has never had a child of her own! Now that the child has grown up, the Queen should also think about herself! Besides, you can only keep your life by giving birth to a legitimate son.
He is in the middle palace, how can the child be angry?"
Hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but feel moved.
She took the eldest prince's hand and said softly: "It seems that my hard work over the years has not been in vain! Zhen'er is really sensible now! However, I am looking for you today because I have something to discuss with you!"
The eldest prince didn't take it seriously, but he smiled respectfully and said: "The mother makes the decision regarding the child's affairs, and the child has no objection! The mother does not need to discuss with the child!"
The Queen was even more happy in her heart, and the smile on her face became more kind: "I can help you make decisions on other matters! But on this matter, I still think it is better to discuss it with you first!"
The eldest prince nodded obediently and said respectfully: "It's okay to say what you say, mother! I'm all ears!"
The queen looked at him with a smile and said softly: "You are not young now. Your father has already got married at your age. A few days ago, I discussed with Liu Shangshu and wanted you to get married as soon as possible.
Give birth to a child."
The eldest prince was really startled. He didn't expect the queen to suddenly mention marriage. Could it be that she already knew about the marriage granted by the emperor?
He remained calm and listened to the Queen continue: "Liu Shangshu has a niece. I have met her several times. The child is really beautiful, dignified and elegant. She is also well-spoken and has a sweet heart. I like her very much.
, I want to betroth her to you, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince's expression suddenly changed, and he became even more angry:
Sure enough, they are evil-minded and all their tenderness toward them is just an illusion. In the end, they are just using themselves!
The queen saw something strange on his face and asked quickly: "What, is Zhen'er dissatisfied with this marriage?"
The eldest prince suppressed his anger and said hesitantly: "Mother, the child's marriage...what does the father say? Will he approve it?"
The queen smiled with relief and said warmly: "Don't worry, as long as you nod, the queen mother and Liu Shangshu will immediately go to persuade the emperor, and he will definitely not give up!"
"But..." The eldest prince dodged his eyes and stammered: "The child has promised Lord Gu to marry his daughter. I am afraid that by this time... Lord Gu and Lord Wang... have already made it clear to their father...
"
"What did you say?" The queen was suddenly shocked. She stood up and exclaimed: "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it at all?"
Seeing the panicked look on the queen's face, the eldest prince was secretly happy.
He stood up, gave a respectful salute, and said cautiously: "Mom, please calm down! When Lord Gu gave the boy a mansion as a gift, he recommended his daughter to the boy. The boy thought it was just a joke and accepted it. Unexpectedly, Lord Gu actually
Seriously! Just now I saw him and Wang Su going to meet the saint, so I thought it must be for this matter..."
"Confused!" The queen uttered a few words through gritted teeth, and her face suddenly turned pale. She was acting motherly just now, but in just a moment, she became fierce:
"The marriages of ordinary people are still dictated by parents and matchmakers! As a royal prince, you dare to make the decision on your own marriage! You still have me as your queen in your eyes!"
"Mother, calm down!" The eldest prince immediately knelt down with a pop, bowed his hands and said, "My child said the wrong thing in a moment of joy, please punish me!"
His apparent meekness was just to appease the queen, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
Seeing the docile appearance of the eldest prince, the queen turned pale with anger, but she suppressed her anger: "Zhen'er, I don't let you interact with courtiers on weekdays to protect you! Things in the court are complicated and people are unpredictable.
, one careless move could lead to an abyss of calamity! Now, your joke is taken seriously, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
The eldest prince lowered his head and said with sincerity and fear: "Yes, I know I was wrong!"
The queen's eyes were cold and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed: "But fortunately, your father hates Gu Zhili so much that he will not marry his daughter to you, so there is still room for change in this matter! Could it be that Wang Su took action?
Will the emperor still refuse to agree?
"But mother..." The eldest prince raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the queen secretly: "My son has already agreed to this marriage. Is it possible... will my father not agree? Isn't it that I have offended Gu Zhili?"
The queen rolled her eyes at him and said solemnly: "You are the prince, he is just a minister, what are you worried about! They dare to put their plans on your head, let them suffer some pain, they deserve it!"
After saying that, she turned to look at Yuexiu and said in a slightly slower tone: "Go and ask Liu Shangshu to come over!"
"Yes." Yuexiu De ordered him to immediately turn around and leave Chenghuan Hall.
"Mother!" The eldest prince began to panic: "Are you going to attack Mr. Gu?"
The queen smiled coldly and said calmly: "Gu Zhili is just a lost dog. Even if he clings to Wang Su now, he can't change the prejudice in the emperor's heart. I can't take action against him, because the emperor will definitely not do it right.
This is the marriage!"
Hearing this, the eldest prince drooped his head, clasped his hands in his sleeves, and cold sweat trickled down his cheeks:
What a bad move!
I was still too young and too impatient. I actually spoke out about it before the matter was settled!
If the emperor really does not allow this marriage and the queen interferes, he will marry Liu Bingwen's niece!
The queen stared at the eldest prince and saw that his eyes were panicked and he was sweating. She suddenly asked, "When did you approach Gu Zhili, Wang Su and others?"
