famous eldest daughter

Chapter 440
After Xiao Yi's words, an ominous premonition suddenly hit the emperor's heart, the light in his eyes moved slightly, the hand holding the teacup stopped, he slowly put the teacup on the table, stared at Xiao Yi, and then said: "What's the matter? "

Xiao Yi's face was expressionless and sincere, and his innocent heart was clearly visible on his face. "My son wants to ask to marry Gu Yuqing, and I hope my father will grant me the marriage." He spoke clearly and clearly.

The emperor suddenly...the corner of his mouth twitched, then twitched, and then twitched again.

At this moment, he was extremely fortunate that he had just sent the imperial edict to marry Xiao Yu and Gu Yuqing to the Chinan Marquis Mansion to be read out by the chamberlain.

I just said that when I woke up this morning and there was a crow flying over my head, it must be something bad. It was really accurate.

A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and the emperor looked at his son kneeling in front of him for a moment, and said: "I want to marry Gu Yuqing, don't you know what your fourth brother thinks about Gu Yuqing? Their affairs are one after another. The uproar is so great that it is earth-shattering, and even I have heard the rumors among the people."

Xiao Yi seemed to have been prepared for this. When he heard this, he didn't even frown and said, "I understand what the fourth brother means to Gu Yuqing."

The emperor leaned back suddenly, with a thin layer of displeasure in his eyes, "Now that you understand, why do you do this?"

It is not a good thing for two sons to compete for a daughter.

Xiao Yi has always been very thoughtful. If he is allowed to aspire to dominate the world in the future, I'm afraid he will have to worry about what happened today for several years.

As a parent, the most unbearable thing is for siblings to kill each other.

But in the royal family...this seems to be an unavoidable iron law.

Even though he asked, the emperor actually had an answer in his mind. Why, what else could it be, it wasn't for Gu Zhen.

Xiao Yi didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He bowed his head and didn't even notice the trembling at the corner of the emperor's mouth.

After the emperor finished speaking, Xiao Yi said sincerely: "Father, the fourth brother's heart is fond of Gu Yuqing, but Gu Yuqing may not be happy with the fourth brother. We can't force Gu Yuqing to marry him just because the fourth brother sacrificed his life to save him. Well, when it comes to marriage, even if your parents order a matchmaker, in the end, getting the right match in your heart is also important."

The tone was firm.

"You mean, Gu Yuqing has no interest in your fourth brother? He has interest in you?" The emperor leaned forward slightly while leaning on the back of the chair. The emperor frowned and stared at Xiao Yi, but in his mind he recalled Concubine Hui's words last night.

Concubine Hui said that she personally tested Gu Yuqing, and in her heart, she was also happy with Yu'er.

Concubine Hui is Xiao Yu's biological mother. Even if she intends to cultivate the power of the Chinan Hou Mansion for Xiao Yu, she doesn't have to tell such lies.

In addition, when Gu Yuqing gave her a hairpin ceremony, Xiao Yu gave her a hairpin, and the hairpin she used was an old thing of Concubine Hui. If Gu Yuqing didn't care about Xiao Yu, according to her temperament, she would have given the hairpin back long ago, so why bother keeping it.

His thoughts were racing, and when the emperor looked at Xiao Yi again, his eyes became a little more complicated.

Xiao Yi cupped his hands, "I don't know if Gu Yuqing is interested in my son, but there are hundreds of daughters in the family, and since she is not yet married, my son and the fourth brother have a chance. It depends on Gu Yuqing who to choose." I'm sorry, please give me the opportunity to fight for it."

Sincere words.

The emperor sighed quietly in his heart. After sighing, he took a deep breath and said, "Who do you value more, Gu Yuqing or Gu Zhen?"

The emperor asked sharply, Xiao Yi obviously did not expect that the emperor would ask such a straightforward question. This question is more like Xiao Yu's personality. He was stunned for a moment and said: "Is it just Gu Yuqing that the fourth brother values? But the son doesn't believe it, more or less, what he likes has the weight of Lord Gu."

He avoided the emperor's questions and did not answer them directly.

But the meaning behind the words was clear.

When the emperor heard this, he sighed deeply in his heart, Xiao Yu... Thinking of Xiao Yu, he couldn't help but smile. He was afraid that the person that that brat was interested in was really Gu Yuqing, and had nothing to do with Gu Zhen. After all, Gu Zhen was still looking for pills. When asking for medicine, he couldn't forget about Gu Yuqing.

And... He took another deep breath and sighed. In his heart, the emperor hoped that Xiao Yu would be more concerned about Gu Zhen's weight. In this way, he was not completely unmotivated.

Thoughts passed through his mind, but the emperor shook his head and denied this hope.

After concentrating his mind, he looked at Xiao Yi again. The emperor picked up the teacup at his hand, took a sip and said, "Your request is not too much. If Gu Yuqing is not married, everyone will have a chance with you and your fourth brother. "

When Xiao Yi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "My son, I would like to thank my father." His tone became light and cheerful for a moment, and it could be heard that he was trying his best to control the restlessness in his heart.

Just as he finished speaking, the emperor added, "It's just a pity that my imperial edict of marriage has only been taken forward. You came a step late. It would have been better if you had come a moment earlier."

Xiao Yi, who was still secretly happy just now, suddenly felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice-cold ice water on his head. His expression froze, and he froze there and murmured: "Father has issued an imperial edict to confer marriage." Fourth brother and Gu Yuqing?"

The emperor nodded, "Yes, the servant has the imperial edict, and I am afraid that he is standing in the courtyard of the Chinanhou Mansion at this moment."

"Why didn't my father wait for Mr. Gu to come back? Gu Yuqing lost her mother when she was young. Her father should have obtained the consent of Marquis Chi Nan for her marriage. After all, he only has one daughter..." In Xiao Yi's opinion, Gu Zhen would never agree to marry Gu Yuqing to that ignorant Xiao Yu.

Because Xiao Yi was also his son after all, the emperor did not treat him like Gongsun Mu. He even pretended to be considerate of his heart and did not show any anger towards him. But Xiao Yi Yi's question made the emperor completely unhappy.

"Why, do you think Gu Zhen still looks down on your fourth brother?"

Xiao Yi really wanted to say yes. The fourth brother had neither knowledge nor skills nor ambition to make progress. It would be strange for anyone to look up to him. Not to mention Mr. Gu, who would not be willing to marry his daughter to someone with a lower status. give him!

But of course he couldn't say this.

"That's not what I mean. I mean that Lord Gu is on the battlefield and his daughter's marriage. The father should wait until Lord Gu comes back to decide on his daughter's marriage, so as not to upset Lord Gu's heart." With these high-sounding words, Xiao Yi Said with utmost sincerity.

The emperor snorted coldly, unwilling to continue such a conversation, "Gu Zhen agreed long before the expedition. After all, it was your fourth brother who rescued Gu Yuqing from Lu Jiuzheng, and it was your fourth brother who took her with him. Having escaped the flash flood, Gu Zhen is very satisfied with your fourth brother."

Seeing the emperor's tone, Xiao Yi was already displeased. His mind was as alert as his, and he immediately did not dare to say any more, "Today, my son and I were rude."

When Xiao Yi came out of the Imperial Study Room, there was no dusty feeling of frustration on his face.

When he came here today, he didn't intend that the emperor would really agree to it. He acted like this, but it was just to lay the groundwork for future calculations.

But he didn't expect that Gu Zhen would actually nod in recognition of Xiao Yu, which surprised him.
