First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 327 Proposing marriage (two more)

  Gu Changqing returned to Ding'an Hou Mansion.

  Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin went to the back mountain to pick the fruit, and he went back to his room.

  He sat down by the bed.

  Without outsiders, he finally had a trace of expression on his face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. He frowned and unbuttoned his shirt.

There were shocking scratches on his neck, shoulders, even the back of his hands, and wrists. In some places, there were blood drops, which dried up and stuck to the clothes. When they were peeled off, he took a cold breath. gas.

   "Oh! My son!"

  Xiao Si embraced the clothes that had just been taken from the clothesline, and saw the scratches on Gu Changqing's neck at a glance. He was startled and asked, "Which little hoof did it!"

   Gu Changqing’s eyes were cold, and he pulled up his clothes: "I won’t knock on the door when I come in?"

The little boy said, "The little one didn’t know that you were back! The little one was still here and the whole house, so he went out to collect some clothes, who would have thought of the son, then returned... By the way, the son of your wounds What's the matter? Which girl did it? Is it from outside the house or from our house?"

  He didn't dare to talk about little hoof anymore.

  "Don't do your business." Gu Changqing stood up lightly and hung the saber around his waist on the shelf.

   "Oh." Xiao Si came to the bed, folded the clothes one by one, and put them in the cabinet without folding them.

  "Why is it a woman?" Gu Changqing suddenly asked.

  Xiao Si said: "Does this still need to be said? Then it makes people scratching at first glance. Who keeps nails for men?"

  Gu Changqing's eyes moved lightly: "Don't talk nonsense."

  The little girl muttered: "The elder son won't let the little ones say, just don't let the little ones say."

  Gu Changqing was standing in front of the sword rack, and the scratched place on her body was aching. It was different from the sharp and direct pain of a sword wound. This pain was strange and unfamiliar.

  The appearance of her having a drug effect in the carriage flashed in her mind, and Gu Changqing closed her eyes.

  Xiaosuo's eyes flashed, and he asked cautiously: "But Shizi, why did you suddenly figure it out?"

  Gu Changqing puzzled: "What did you figure out suddenly?"

  The young lady smiled: "Don’t hide from the elder son, the elder son has not been like a girl in these years, and there is not even a maid in the yard, and then he is unwilling to discuss marriage. The young ones...are all guessing...do the elder son like men?"

  Gu Changqing's face turned black: "Get out!"

  The little girl trembled and went out angrily.

  Then he went to inform Master Laohou and Mrs. Gu—his family has opened up, and his family has touched a woman!

  After several hours of treatment, King An’s injury was finally stabilized at night.

  After watching him drink the medicine, the doctor retired.

  Tao Fu Zhuang came to the King's room in Anjun, his face was not very good-looking, the two of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

  Tao Fu said: "I will ask you one last time, really you did it?"

  Anjun Wang said: "It's me, this is the answer that my grandfather asked many times."

   Taifu Zhuang hates iron for failing to make steel. This grandson is his most respected descendant. He pinned his hopes for the prosperity of the dealer for the next century. However, he ruined his future and committed such a mistake.

He suppressed his anger, and said solemnly: "You are not a girl who is a small family on the street today, who can be dismissed with a small amount of silver or a little power. That is the daughter of the Ding'an Houfu, even if it is self The adopted daughter of the young Baocuo is also on the genealogy and has been registered, not to mention that both Lao Ding'anhou and Gu Changqing are highly regarded by His Majesty. You can't accept this account. You have to give her a name."

  An county prince lay weakly on the bed, and said with a deadly heart: "Let's arrange it with grandfather."

  It’s not her anyway. What is the difference between marrying Miss Yuan or Miss Gu?

  The next day, Mrs. Zhuang sent a housekeeper from the Zhuang Mansion to visit Ding'an Hou Mansion to explain his intentions to Lord Hou and Mrs. Gu.

   "My master said, I am willing to let the county prince accept Miss Gu as his concubine."

  As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Gu was pleased. The position of the Ding'an Houfu in the capital was that they could get married with the dealer. Even if it was a concubine, Gu Jinyu would not be insulted.

Old Houye's face sank: "This is what your dealer gave to Ding'an Hou Mansion! Hmph, you are bullying that Ding'an Hou Mansion has no Gu Jiajun and no military power, so you can let you bully and slaughter, right? !"

The butler smiled faintly: "Where did Master Gu say? The Taifu didn't mean to be indifferent to Ding'an Hou Mansion. It's just that the capital has spread. This Miss Gu is not from Master Gu and Mrs. Hou. His own flesh and blood was born and raised in the Hou Mansion. With all due respect, the young master of my family was the county king pro-appointed by His Majesty. He served as a proton for the prince in Chen Guo for ten years and made great contributions to Zhao Guo. His imperial concubine is again. Is it possible for a peasant girl in the country to take up the job? Not to mention that Miss Gu did a terrible disaster not long ago. I heard that Miss Gu took credit for leading the bellows first, stealing the mortar credit later, and privately remodeled the bellows and harmed countless people. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have caused huge losses to the bureau of the Ministry of Industry. To put it bluntly, Miss Gu and Ding'an Hou Shizi are not related by blood, so the old Hou Lord is willing to let the old son marry a woman of Miss Gu's character as his regular wife? "

   "How is that wicked woman worthy of Changqing!" Mrs. Gu opened his mouth uncontrollably.

  As soon as she finished speaking, she received an icy look from Lord Hou.

  She realized that she had said something wrong, her eyes flashed and she lifted the teacup to drink tea.

  The butler knows that he has won the situation, so I won't repeat it. He arched his hands in a meaningful way: "If the old man and the old lady have no objection to this marriage, then the young one will go back and return to the Tai Fu."

  Old Madam Gu opened her mouth and said something deliberately, when she was hit by the cold eyes of Lord Hou, she fell silent for an instant.

  The butler proudly walked away.

  In fact, I still don’t feel happy, side concubine? Is Gu Jinyu worthy of that infamous woman?

  It's still cheaper for her!

"Master..." Mrs. Gu realized that she had just missed her words and caused them to lose their situation. She didn't dare to complain anymore. She just said, "Actually, the kid Jinyu still has the intention. Although she has made a lot of mistakes, she I have changed and renovated, and I went to Ciyouzhuang a few days ago. With the master and concubine Shu supporting her, I think even if it is a concubine, the Zhuang family will not treat her harshly."

  Lao Houye could not accept the status of side concubine.

  He never thought of taking his own children to climb anyone, but he has a principle-Gu’s daughter would rather marry a commoner as a wife than a concubine.

  The side concubine sounds more noble than the concubine, but she is not a regular wife.

  Master Hou went to Gu Jinyu’s yard.

  Gu Jinyu is resting in the room, her face is pale, and her expression is haggard.

  Lao Hou Ye asked her: "Let me ask you again, if I can suppress this matter, would you be willing to marry someone else?"

  Gu Jinyu knelt in front of the old man and said with red eyes: "Jinyu and the princess have a skin relationship, how can they have a face to marry another person? If the dealer does not recognize it, Jinyu can go to the temple to shave her head and be an aunt..."

  Old Master Hou frowned and sighed.

  No matter how much he cares about her, he won’t let people trample the face of Hou Mansion on the ground.

  Furthermore, this matter is plainly the dealer’s fault. They bullied the people and didn’t want to take responsibility. Instead, they forced the Gu’s daughter into the nunnery to be an aunt. This is not the truth.

  Lao Houye immediately entered the palace, but was told that the emperor was out of the palace, and he took He Gonggong out.

  "When will your majesty be back?" At the front gate of the palace, the old man asked Mr. Wei.

  Wei Gongyi said: "The minion doesn't know, did the old master ask your Majesty for urgent matters?"

   Speaking of urgency and urgency, Lord Hou was worried that Mrs. Zhuang would ventilate with the Queen Mother in advance, and asked the Queen Mother to make Gu Jinyu a concubine together. Then it would be too late to say anything.

  Master Hou said: "There is indeed an urgent matter."

   "Ah..." Grandpa Wei pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty's whereabouts slaves are inconvenient to inform. If the old master has trusted the slaves, the slaves are willing to convey it on behalf of the old masters."

   can only do so.

  Lord Hou arched his hands: "There is Father Lao Wei."

  An hour later, a carriage stopped outside the hall.

  Wei Gonggong got off the carriage.

  The emperor was feeding Jing Taifei and drinking medicine in the meditation room.

  Jing Toffee sat on the head of the bed, covered with a thin layer of mattress.

   "I will come by myself." She said, "It's not a serious illness, it's just a bit of wind and cold. Why should your Majesty come?"

  The emperor frowned and said, "If I hadn't arranged for my concubine to protect my concubine secretly, and I didn't know that my concubine was ill, the concubine had fooled me like this in the past and kept everything from me."

  Quiet Princess smiled indifferently: "When people are old, there will always be such and other small problems. How can they be like when they are young? Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he has everything to do. There is no need to stir up people for this little thing."

  The emperor snorted: "Who said that? I look at the queen dowager's body very well! It's three points tougher than before!"

  Quiet Princess was slightly startled, obviously he did not expect that the emperor would suddenly mention the Queen Mother.

  She smiled and said: “The empress dowager’s toughness is the blessing of Zhaoguo. Your Majesty has been dressed in clothes for the New Year’s Eve and worked diligently, and the Queen Mother has also shared a lot for your Majesty.”

  The emperor hummed: "The mother concubine does not have to speak for her."

Concubine Jing smiled: "I'm not speaking for her either. I have been in the palace with her and have known each other for so many years. What kind of temperament can I not understand? She gave birth to a knife mouth, strong and unforgiving, her heart is toward your majesty. of."

  The emperor said coldly: "If she is really facing me, she should hand over the power of government and government, and stay safe and secure in the Renshou Palace."

   "It's okay, I won't say anything, the medicine is cold." Princess Jing took the medicine bowl and started drinking the medicine.

The emperor quietly guarded her, suddenly his eyes fell on the wooden hairpin on the top of Jing Taifei's head, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Although the mother concubine eats fast and reciting the Buddha, her life is too clear, and there is not even a decent hairpin. Unlike the Queen Mother, the Eguan Bo belt, surrounded by pearls and greenery, is extremely extravagant!"

  Tsao Jing opened her mouth, and stopped talking.

  She continued to drink the medicine.

  The emperor glanced at the bare table, and asked Mother Cai who was waiting on the side: "Is there no candied fruit in the house?"

  Mother Cai smiled: "The empress does not eat this."

  The emperor coldly snorted: "Mother concubine is too hard to bear. There are not ten kinds of preserves in Renshou Palace, but eight kinds!"

Concubine Jing’s eyelashes trembled, she drank the medicine in one breath, handed the empty bowl to Mother Cai to take down, wiped the corners of her mouth with a kerchief, and said with a funny face: "Your Majesty always mentioned the Queen Mother today. ."

  The emperor choked: "Do I have one?"

   "Hmm." Jing Taifei smiled and looked at him.

  The emperor hummed: "That's not too much for her. I was so angry that I was sore. I only hope to seize her power soon, so that I can take the mother and concubine back to the palace with peace of mind."

   "You." Jing Taifei shook her head helplessly.

   "Your Majesty, Grandpa Wei is here." The little **** reported to the house.

  The emperor said: "What is he here for?"

  Jing Taifei said: "Go and see, there must be something important."

  The emperor came back for two quarters of an hour, his expression a bit solemn.

   "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Princess Jing asked, sitting on the head of the bed.

  The emperor always knows everything about Princess Jing. He sighed and said: "Gu Chao came to ask for the imperial decree and let me marry King Anjun for his granddaughter."

  Jing Taifei was slightly startled: "Old Ding Anhou? How could he be married to the dealer?"

  The two loyal to different camps, not to mention that fire and water are incompatible, but marriage is indeed not the first choice of both parties.

The emperor said helplessly: "The King Anjun looked down upon Miss Gu, and was unwilling to accept her as a concubine. He only treated her as a concubine. Gu Chao does not pursue fame or wealth, nor does he cling to power, but he can't swallow this. In a tone, I feel that the dealer deceives people too much and does not have the slightest attitude of apologizing."

Toffee Jing was silent for a while, and said: "I've heard of the child of King An, too. I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

  The emperor said: "To be honest, I was also very surprised."

Concubine Jing looked at his expression and asked: "Your Majesty disagrees with this marriage?"

  The emperor nodded: "Don't hide from my mother and concubine, I do hesitate a bit."

  Quite Concubine Wen said: "Your Majesty is worried that the situation will be unfavorable to your Majesty after the two of them get married?"

The emperor shook his head: "No, Gu Chao is not this kind of person, not to mention that Gu Jinyu is not Gu Chao's granddaughter, just a peasant child who took the wrong place since childhood." Old Master Hou would not change his position for her. The emperor is convinced.

  Tsao Jing thought for a while: "Then, your Majesty is worried that the Queen Mother disagrees?"

When the emperor heard the queen mother, his expression became cold for three minutes: "The queen mother does not yet know about this, and I have no plans to ask her opinion."

  If you ask, there is no room to change the position. If you don’t do this, you have to seize the opportunity to do it.

   "What is your Majesty worrying about?" Princess Jing asked.

  The emperor hesitated, and said: "This woman has been in trouble, and she has a bad reputation." The most important thing is that she robbed the little genius doctor for the credit. This made the emperor unbearable, and the emperor was reluctant to praise Gu Jinyu.

  Tsao Jing did not ask what exactly was the cause. She paused, and smiled and asked, "Then can she change it?"

  The emperor hummed, "I heard that he has been reformed, and he went to Ciyouzhuang without telling his family, and took care of the children there. He was so tired that he fainted."

Concubine Jing smiled warmly: "Your Majesty, knowing your mistakes can improve you. What's more, Lao Ding Anhou has worked so hard to dismiss Gu's army for the sake of your Majesty. If your Majesty can't even agree to his small request, it would be too cold. Lord Hou's heart is over."

  The emperor thought about it carefully. The Lord Hou did not ask himself for anything. He finally opened his mouth, but he refused, which was a bit unkind.

  Jing Taifei said again: "Speaking of which, Lord Houye saved my life back then."

   "What happened?" The emperor looked at Concubine Jing in surprise.

Concubine Jing lowered her head and laughed at herself: "That was before I entered the palace. I went to the temple to offer incense, and I encountered a horse thief on the way back. Thanks to the old man who drew a knife to help drive away the horse thief, otherwise, I might Already killed in the wilderness."

  The emperor said in a daze: "I have never heard the mother and concubine mention it."

  Jing Taifei smiled and looked at him: "At that time, I had been selected as a show girl, and I could not leave the house without permission. I ran out secretly, and I blamed my youth for being naughty at that time."

The emperor suddenly realized: "So that's it." He pondered for a moment, and said, "Old Houye's request, I will consider it well."

   "Yeah." Princess Jing nodded with a smile.

  The emperor and Concubine Jing talked for a while, and Father He entered and urged: "Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace."

  Jing Taifei looked at the gloomy sky, her eyes flashed with dismay, she patted the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, go back to the palace."

  The emperor sighed, and said to He just: "Where is the peace talisman for you to ask for?"

  Grandpa He hurriedly took out a brocade box from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to the emperor: "I beg you! Abbot Fate opened it!"

  Jing Taifei looked at the peaceful talisman that seemed to exude endless Buddha energy: "This is..."

   "Oh." said the emperor, "for the queen mother."

  Quiet Toffee was taken aback.

  Wei Gonggong smiled and said: "The queen mother was tired and sick a few days ago to take care of her sleepless night."

  Jing Toffee smiled and said, "It's rare for you mother and son to let go of their previous suspicions."

The emperor looked at Princess Jing and said, "My mother is my mother. She is only the queen dowager of a country. This peace talisman is given to the queen mother by the king of a country, not from my son. Moreover, my whereabouts cannot be concealed from her. Instead of asking her to trouble her mother concubine, I would tell her that I was here to ask for peace for her, and take a look at her mother concubine."

  Taffles Jing smiled helplessly: "The Queen Mother will not treat me like anything, Your Majesty has been worrying too much."

  　 will explode in the first ten days of next month, well, soon.
