The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 327 Proposal (two more)

Gu Changqing returned to the Marquis of Ding'an Mansion.

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

He sat down beside the bed.

Without outsiders, his face that has been unchanged for thousands of years finally had an expression on his face, he frowned, and unbuttoned his shirt.

His neck, shoulders, even the backs of his hands and wrists were full of shocking scratches, and blood beads oozing out in some places. The blood beads dried up and stuck to his clothes. The pain caused him to gasp when he peeled them off. gas.

"Oh! Shizi!"

The little servant walked in with the clothes he had just picked up from the clothesline, and saw Gu Changqing's neck full of scratches at a glance. He was startled and asked, "Which little hoof did it!"

Gu Changqing's eyes turned cold, and he pulled up his clothes: "You won't knock on the door when you come in?"

The little servant said shyly: "I don't know that you are back! The little one was still here to fix the house, so I went out to collect some clothes, who would have thought that the prince would come back... Then again, what is on you, the prince? What's the matter with the injury? Which girl did it? Is it from outside the house or from our house?"

He didn't dare say anything about the little hoof.

"None of your business." Gu Changqing stood up lightly and hung the saber at his waist on the shelf.

"Oh." The little servant came to the bed, folded the clothes one by one, and put them in the cabinet to hang them without folding.

"Why a woman?" Gu Changqing said suddenly.

The servant said: "Is there any need to say that? It's scratching at first sight. Who keeps fingernails on men?"

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

The young servant muttered: "The prince doesn't let the little one say it, and the little one doesn't say it."

Standing in front of the sword stand, Gu Changqing felt a dull pain where he was scratched, which was different from the sharp and direct pain of a sword injury. This kind of pain was strange and unfamiliar.

Gu Changqing closed her eyes as she flashed in her mind the appearance of her drug attack in the carriage.

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

Gu Changqing was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly figure it out?"

The little servant smiled shyly: "To be honest with the prince, the prince has not been close to women all these years, there is not even a maid in the yard, and then he is not willing to discuss kisses, the little ones... are all guessing... Does the prince like men?"

Gu Changqing's face darkened: "Go out!"

The little servant shook his body and went out angrily.

Then he went to tip off the old Marquis and Mrs. Gu—his family was enlightened,

His family son touches a woman!

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

After watching him drink the medicine, the government doctor withdrew.

Mrs. Zhuang came to Anjun Wang's room, his face was not very good-looking, the two didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

Master Zhuang said, "I'll ask you one last time, did you really do it?"

King Anjun said, "It's me. No matter how many times my grandfather asked me, this is the answer."

Master Zhuang hated that iron could not become steel. This grandson was his most important descendant. He pinned the hope of Zhuang's prosperity in the next hundred years on him, but he ruined his future and made such a mistake.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "You are not the one who is frivolous today, not just a girl from a small family on the street. You can get rid of it with a single sum of money or a little power. That is the daughter of the Ding'an Marquis's mansion, even if it is a self-confidence. The adopted daughter of the wrong child is also on the genealogy and registered with the clan, not to mention the old Ding'an Hou and Gu Changqing are both highly regarded by His Majesty.

King Anjun lay weakly on the bed, and said with a deadhearted heart, "As my grandfather arranges."

It's not her anyway, so what's the difference between marrying Miss Yuan or Miss Gu?

The next day, Mrs. Zhuang sent a housekeeper from the Zhuang Mansion to visit the Ding'an Hou Mansion to tell the old marquis and Mrs. Gu of his intentions.

"My master said that he is willing to let the king of the county accept Miss Gu as his concubine."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Gu was very happy. The Marquis of Ding'an's position in the capital, they were able to get married with the Zhuang family.

But the old man's face darkened: "This is the explanation given by your Zhuang family to the Ding'anhou mansion! Hmph, you are bullying the Ding'anhou mansion without the Gu family's army and military power, so you can let you bully and slaughter it, right? !"

The housekeeper smiled lightly: "What did Old Marquis Gu say? The grand master didn't mean to despise Ding Anhou's mansion in the slightest, but the word of the capital has already spread, this Miss Gu is not from Marquis Gu and Madam Hou. My own flesh and blood was born and raised in the Hou Mansion. With all due respect, my young master is the king of the county proclaimed by His Majesty. How could a rural peasant girl be in charge? Not to mention that Miss Gu was in a catastrophic disaster not long ago. I heard that Miss Gu took the credit for leading the bellows first, stealing the mortar later, and privately modified the bellows and caused countless harm The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have caused huge losses to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry. To put it bluntly, Miss Gu and the Prince of Ding'an are not related by blood, so the old Marquis is willing to let the prince marry a woman of Miss Gu's character as his wife? "

"How can that wicked girl be worthy of Changqing!" Mrs. Gu said impatiently.

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a cold look from the old marquis.

Realizing that she had said something wrong, she raised her teacup to drink tea with a flash of eyes.

The housekeeper knew that he had won the situation, so I won't repeat it any more. He cupped his hands without any deep meaning: "If the old marquis and the old lady have no opinion on this marriage, then the young man will go back to the grand master."

Madam Gu opened her mouth and said something deliberately, but she was instantly silenced by the cold gaze of the old marquis.

The butler walked away triumphantly.

In fact, my heart is still not very happy, side concubine? Gu Jinyu's notorious woman is also worthy?

Still cheaper for her!

"Master..." Mrs. Gu realized that she had just made a slip of the tongue and caused them to lose the situation, and she didn't dare to complain at this moment, she just said, "Actually, that child Jin Yu still has a heart, although he has made many mistakes, but She has reformed herself and went to the Salesian Village some time ago. With the master and the concubine Shu supporting her, I think that even if she is a side concubine, the Zhuang family will not treat her harshly. "

But the old marquis couldn't accept the status of side concubine.

He never thought of using his own children to be high on anyone, but he had a principle - the daughter of the Gu family would rather marry a commoner as a wife than a concubine.

The side concubine sounds nobler than the concubine's room, but she is not the real wife.

The old man went to Gu Jinyu's yard.

Gu Jinyu rested in her room, her face pale and haggard.

The old man asked her, "Let me ask you, if I can suppress this matter, would you be willing to marry someone else?"

Gu Jinyu knelt down in front of the old marquis, and said with red eyes, "Jinyu and the prince have a skin-to-skin relationship, so how can they still have the face to marry someone else? If the Zhuang family doesn't recognize it, Jinyu will go to the nunnery to shave her head and become a sister-in-law... "

The old man frowned and sighed.

No matter how much he doesn't hurt her, he won't let people put Hou Fu's face on the ground and trample on it.

Besides, it was the Zhuang family's fault to put it bluntly. They bullied people and didn't want to take responsibility. Instead, they forced the daughter of the Gu family into the nunnery to be a sister-in-law. That's not the truth.

The old marquis entered the palace immediately, but was told that the emperor had left the palace, and he was taking Eunuch He out.

"When will your majesty come back?" the old marquis asked Eunuch Wei at the main entrance of the palace.

Wei Gonggong said: "The servants don't know, is the old man looking for His Majesty for urgent matters?"

He was in a hurry, but the old man was worried that Mrs. Zhuang would communicate with Queen Mother Zhuang in advance and ask Queen Mother Zhuang to set up Gu Jinyu as the side concubine, so it would be too late to say anything.

The old man said: "There is indeed an urgent matter."

"Ah..." Eunuch Wei pondered for a moment, then said, "It is inconvenient for the servants to tell you the whereabouts of His Majesty. If the old marquis trusts the servants, the servants are willing to go and convey the information on behalf of the old princes."

That's all.

The old marquis bowed his hands and said, "You have to work for Eunuch Wei."

An hour later, a carriage stopped outside the nunnery.

Eunuch Wei got off the carriage.

The emperor is feeding the concubine Jing to drink medicine in the meditation room.

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

"I'll come by myself," she said. "It's not a serious illness, it's just a little bit of cold. Why does Your Majesty come here?"

The emperor frowned and said, "If I hadn't arranged for someone to secretly protect my concubine, I wouldn't know that my concubine was actually ill. My concubine used to fool me like this, hiding everything from me."

Concubine Jing smiled indifferently and said, "As people get older, there will always be such and such small problems. How can they be the same as when they were young? Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he manages all kinds of opportunities. There is no need to mobilize people for this small matter."

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

Concubine Jing was slightly startled, apparently not expecting that the emperor would suddenly mention the queen mother.

She smiled and said, "The Queen Mother's strength is the blessing of Zhao Kingdom. Her Majesty's clothes and food during the New Year's Eve, she has worked hard, and the Queen Mother has also shared a lot for Her Majesty."

The emperor hummed: "Mother concubine doesn't have to speak for her."

Concubine Jing smiled and said: "I'm not speaking for her either. I entered the palace with her. We have known each other for so many years. How can I not understand her temperament? She gave birth to a knife mouth, strong and unforgiving, her heart is towards Your Majesty. of."

The emperor said in a cold voice: "If she really wants to go to me, she should hand over the power of the government and live in the Renshou Palace."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, the medicine is cold." Concubine Jing took the medicine bowl and started drinking the medicine.

The emperor guarded her quietly, and suddenly his eyes fell on the wooden hairpin on the head of Concubine Jing, his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Even though the concubine is eating fast and chanting Buddha, her life is too hard, and she doesn't even have a decent hairpin. Unlike the Empress Dowager, the Eguanbo belt, surrounded by pearls, is extremely extravagant!"

Concubine Jing opened her mouth and hesitated.

She continued to drink medicine.

The emperor glanced at the bald table and asked Mammy Cai, who was waiting on the side, "Is there any candied fruit in the house?"

Madam Cai sneered: "The concubine doesn't eat this."

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Mother concubine is too capable of enduring hardships. There are eight kinds of candied fruit in Renshou Palace!"

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

The emperor choked: "I have it?"

"Well." Concubine Jing looked at him with a smile.

The emperor hummed: "It's not that she is too much. I am so angry that my head hurts. I just hope that I will seize her real power as soon as possible, so that I can take my mother and concubine back to the palace with peace of mind."

"You." Concubine Jing shook her head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei is here." The little eunuch entered the room and reported.

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

Concubine Jing said: "Go and have a look, there must be something important."

The emperor went for a quarter of an hour before returning, with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Concubine Jing asked while sitting on the bedside.

The emperor always knew everything about Concubine Jing. He sighed and said, "Gu Chao has come to ask for the imperial decree that I will marry the king of Anjun for his granddaughter."

Concubine Jing was slightly stunned: "Old Ding'an Marquis? How could he marry the Zhuang family?"

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

The emperor said helplessly: "King Anjun has underestimated Miss Gu, and he is unwilling to grant her the position of the concubine, so he only treats her with the courtesy of a side concubine. Gu Chao does not pursue fame and fortune, nor does he cling to power, but he can't swallow it. In tone, I feel that the banker is deceiving too much, and there is no attitude of apology."

Concubine Jing was silent for a while, and said, "I have heard of that child of Prince An, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

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

Concubine Jing looked at his expression and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't agree with this marriage?"

The emperor nodded: "Don't hide the mother, I do hesitate."

Concubine Jing said warmly: "Your Majesty is worried that after the two of them get married, the situation will be unfavorable to His Majesty?"

The emperor shook his head: "No, Gu Chao is not such a person, not to mention that Gu Jinyu is not Gu Chao's granddaughter, but a farmer child who has been wronged since childhood." The old man will not change his position for her. A little emperor is convinced.

Concubine Jing thought for a while: "Then, is Your Majesty worried that the Queen Mother will not agree?"

When the emperor heard the Queen Mother, his expression turned cold: "The Queen Mother doesn't know about this, and I have no intention of asking her for her opinion."

If you ask, there is no room to turn around. If you don't do it, you have to seize the opportunity.

"Then what exactly is your Majesty worried about?" Princess Jing asked.

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

Concubine Jing didn't ask what the specific accident was. She paused and asked with a smile, "Then can she change?"

The emperor snorted: "I heard that I have reformed, and I went to the Salesian Village without telling my family to take care of the children there, and I fainted from exhaustion."

Concubine Jing smiled warmly: "Your Majesty, knowing your mistakes can make a big difference, not to mention the hard work and hard work of the old Dingan Hou, who did not hesitate to dismiss the Gu family army for His Majesty's sake, and bear the infamy, it would be too cold if His Majesty couldn't even answer his small request. The old man's heart is broken."

The emperor thought about it carefully, and the old marquis did not ask for anything from him. After finally opening his mouth, he refused, which is a bit unkind.

Concubine Jing said again: "Speaking of which, the old marquis saved my life back then."

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor looked at Concubine Jing in astonishment.

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 marquis who drew a knife to help drive the horse thief away, otherwise, I might have Dead in the wilderness."

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

Concubine Jing looked at him with a smile: "At that time, I had been selected as a beautiful girl, and I was not allowed to leave the house without permission. I ran out secretly, and it was my fault that I was young and naughty at that time."

The emperor suddenly realized: "So it is." He pondered for a moment, and said, "I will consider the request of the old marquis."

"Yeah." Concubine Jing nodded with a smile.

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

Concubine Jing looked at the gloomy sky, and a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes. She patted the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, go back to the palace."

The emperor sighed and said to He Gong justice: "Where is the peace talisman that I asked you to ask for?"

Eunuch He hurriedly took out a brocade box from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to the emperor: "I got it! It was opened by the abbot Liyuan!"

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

"Oh," said the emperor, "for the Queen Mother."

Concubine Jing was slightly taken aback.

Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has been awake for the last few days to take care of Her Majesty, and she is tired and sick."

Concubine Jing smiled and said, "It's rare for you mother and son to clear up their past suspicions."

The emperor looked at Concubine Jing and said: "Mother concubine is my mother, she is only the queen mother of a country, this peace talisman is given to the queen mother by the king of a country, not his son. Besides, I can't hide my whereabouts from her. , instead of asking her to trouble her mother-in-law, I should tell her that I came here specially to ask for a peace talisman for her, and I would stop by to see my mother-in-law."

Concubine Jing smiled helplessly: "The Queen Mother won't do anything to me, Your Majesty is too worried."

The update will be in the first ten days of next month, um, soon.
