late night song

Chapter 242 Jiakui chooses a son-in-law
The Hanguang Ceremony came to a successful conclusion. A group of Jiarouzi cut their fingers, and eight doctors from the Medical Bureau took turns cleaning the wounds and bandaging them properly.

"Are you okay?" Shan Mingxi asked after meeting Gu Yuchu.

"Sister Yuchu, are you in pain? I was scared just now!" Before she could answer, Ji He also came over, very concerned.

"It's nothing." Gu Yuchu smiled. She had simply bandaged her wound and waved the injured hand in front of them. The gauze was a little thin, and mottled scarlet could be faintly seen.

"That's good!" Shan Mingxi nodded. She knew very well that what happened today was not an accident. Someone had planned this situation in advance. In this way, she admired Gu Yuchu's agility and decisive courage.

"This wound cannot be bandaged well. Sister, it is better to ask the imperial doctor to take a look." Ji He grabbed her wrist, looked at it carefully, and blew the wound for her thoughtfully, with a kind and caring look. Gu Yuchu unconsciously felt guilty for his malicious assumptions about her these days.

But just inadvertently, she saw the purple jade clasp earrings leaking from Ji He's hair, and her eyebrows moved.

She was not interested in her daughter's hairpin jewelry, but she had seen this earring under the pillow of Ling Buhuo's bed in Ziyan Palace. At that time, she thought it was very beautiful, and she even thought it was Ling Buhuo's plan. For myself.

Now that she heard it in Ji He's ears, the pain in her heart that had healed hit her again. She regretted her own sentimentality. She originally thought that the two of them had no intention of being in love with You, but she didn't expect that she was the one who was wishful thinking.

"These earrings are so beautiful." Gu Yuchu smiled lightly.

"That's right! I also think it was given to me by Brother Buhuo." Ji He touched the earrings unconsciously, his face full of shyness and happiness.

"When did King Jingchuan understand the thoughts of his daughter's family so well!" Shan Mingxi replied angrily. She really couldn't stand this blatant show off. She completely forgot that Ji He was only a hairpin girl, so where could a teenage girl hide? Live in the heart of spring.

"Prince Jingchuan has always had good taste." Gu Yuchu gritted his teeth and praised, still pretending to be indifferent.

At this time, Ling Ziyu, Ling Buhuo and Yan Feng also pulled away. Shan Mingxi saw Ling Ziyu from a distance, like a mouse seeing a cat, she turned and hid elsewhere, but Ling Ziyu still found her and chased her in her direction. .

Ling Buhuo wanted to come over and talk to Gu Yuchu, but Yan Feng beat him to it.

"You crazy woman, I'm hurting you!" Her eyes were full of concern and her tone was very reproachful.

"Hey, it's just a minor injury. The battlefield can be a hundred times more tragic than this." Gu Yuchu shrugged, feeling relaxed.

"Okay, but having said that, it hurts. Your momentum just now was so heroic. You are worthy of the legendary Yama!" Yan Feng is a big-hearted person, and he has long forgotten about the danger just now. All of them were gone, just recalling the moment that shocked and envied her.

"Hahaha, are you praising me or hurting me?!" Gu Yuchu was amused by her and joked with her for a few times. In the process, he couldn't help but glance at Ling Buhuo, who was not far away.

Ling Buhuo stood aside solemnly. Although his face was expressionless, when their eyes met, he looked at Gu Yuchu with distressed eyes.

At this moment, Ji He jumped into Ling Buhuo's chest.

"Hiss" her pink face turned pale, the wound on her finger split open, the dragon scales were so sharp that she almost broke the bone even with a slight flick.

Ling Buhuo knew both weapons and was a doctor. Of course he knew how serious the injury was, so he took out the golden medicine he had carefully prepared from his arms and re-bandaged Ji He.

He had specially prepared this for Gu Yuchu these days in case of emergencies, but it happened that Ji He took it first.Hanguang Dadian's invitation to Gu Yuchu to be Jia Rouzi sounded ridiculous. Although he could not predict what might happen, he still made complete preparations.

But he had good intentions, how could Gu Yuchu know that this scene clearly showed Ling Buhuo's overwhelming doting on Ji He, and the pair of earrings made her even more heartbroken.

She silently clenched her fists, and the gauze wrapped around her palms was instantly stained red by the gushing blood. You must know that even though the dragon scales are extremely sharp, her wounds are many times worse than Ji He's.

The pain came, but it was less than one ten thousandth of the pain in my heart.

For the first time, Gu Yuchu could no longer hold back the half-filled jealousy in his heart because of this man.

Yan Feng just watched the excitement and didn't notice anything strange about her. In order to cover up his gaffe, Gu Yuchu hid his bloody left hand behind his back.

But Noda appeared out of nowhere and wrapped the scarf that she had given him back to mark the boundary around her wound.

"Why are you here?" Gu Yuchu was silent in sorrow, and he was in a daze for a while before he recognized Nuo Da.

"I thought you needed me." Noda smiled, held her left hand, and said softly.

Gu Yuchu didn't speak, just looked at this face quietly, as if it was that summer, when he first entered the palace, Qi Jie walked towards her against the sunshine.

It's ridiculous to think that the fate that she tried so hard to escape from pounced on her again.

But this time, she was in such a state of embarrassment that someone so similar to Qi Jian was accompanying her, watching her unexpected and irresistible second heartbeat, slowly and silently.

That day, the two of them broke up unhappy because of the unnecessary "handkerchief". Now that this woman was so close to the owner of the handkerchief, Ling Buhuo couldn't care less about the troubles he had caused in the world, and his jealousy suddenly flared up.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss or excessive sadness, Gu Yuchu was a little dizzy. However, Yanfeng was urgently summoned to the palace by her mother and concubine for a lecture, so Nuoda naturally became the flower protector.

He supported Gu Yuchu, who was a rare birdie, as he walked past Ling Buhuo and Ji He. Gu Yuchu naturally didn't want to look at Ling Buhuo anymore, and Nuo Da took his place and met his gaze, which was completely provocative to win.

After the Hanguang ceremony, that night, Ziyan Palace held a celebration banquet for Jia Rouzi.

Because of Yanfeng's unscrupulous remarks at the Hanguang Ceremony, her mother and concubine were frightened. She scolded her for a long time and even ordered her to be banned from the harem. She was not even allowed to attend the celebration banquet arranged in the palace. Therefore, she originally specifically told her to The seats arranged by the supervisor for himself and Gu Yuchu were occupied by Princess Yanyang.

Strange to say, Princess Yanyang, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, was particularly affectionate towards Gu Yuchu today. Her joke about the murder at the post house caused Gu Yuchu to suffer unjust injustice. She deeply apologized for this and immediately offered her advice. Got some wine.

Gu Yuchu had something on his mind. Although he was a little sick, he drank a lot of drinks under his hospitality.Ling Buhuo was sitting diagonally across from her, feeling helpless when he saw her like this.Since the ceremony just ended, this woman has never looked at him in the eye again. He doesn't even care about her kissing with Noda, so what is she angry about? !

This celebration banquet was attended by the royal family, nobles, and high-ranking officials. It was said to be to commend Jia Rouzi for his bravery and kindness, but in fact it was just a grand magpie bridge ceremony held by the royal family. Each of these Jia Rouzi were graceful and graceful. Being dignified and beautiful, having a noble destiny, and having a prosperous husband and children are the royal gifts that these noble families strive for.

Of course, Jiakui's choice of son-in-law is the biggest attraction. Since ancient times, it has been the orders of parents and matchmakers to marry a daughter. However, Jiakui, who is born every three years, can control his own destiny, whether he is a noble son from a poor family or a son from a wealthy family. , or even the inner courtyard of the palace, as long as they like it, they can marry the one they love honestly and honestly.Under the expectation of everyone, King Lao Ling asked Ji He if he was interested in someone. If he fell in love with her, there should be no need to be shy, and he granted permission to marry with the ceremony of a princess.

Ji He blushed and replied: "Back to the king, I already have the one I love."

"Oh? Whose young man is this?" Old King Ling glanced at Princess Helan and asked with a smile.

But Ji He didn't say that person's name, but looked at Ling Buhuo's seat shyly. This move was clearly visible to everyone at the banquet.

Ling Ziyu chuckled softly and glanced at Shan Mingxi, who had a frosty face. She couldn't explain the feeling in her heart, so she could only pretend to be blind and pretend she didn't see anything.

Gu Yuchu snorted. Ji He didn't need to be affectionate. She also knew the answer would be this. Yan Yang saw the clues and poured her wine.

But the victim himself remained motionless. Ling Buhuo didn't look at Ji He and just sipped his tea, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Ji He was very disappointed by his reaction, so she calmed herself down and saluted the throne in a dignified manner: "But I feel that now is not the time."

King Lao Ling was very surprised by this result. His calm attitude made it difficult for others to see his likes and dislikes. In his heart, he was extremely opposed to the marriage between two people. Especially in the royal family, the forces were so intertwined that it was not conducive to the imperial power. Unification, not to mention the prince's marriage, must be carefully planned by him.

At the moment, Ji He had that intention but didn't point it out, so he could just pretend that it didn't happen.

"So when do you think it's a good time?"

"I hope your Majesty will give me a year's time. When the smoke clears the river in the coming year and green tiles are covered with new moss, it will be a good time for me."

Ji He's original intention was that she would choose a son-in-law when Ling Buhuo forgot about his old friend and was willing to marry her, but his unintentional words had another meaning in the hearts of those who were interested.

Although the crown prince is now confirmed, the attitude of the old King Ling is unclear.The battle between Prince Ling and King Jingchuan is inevitable. People in the court are looking for a better future. They hesitate and start taking sides one after another. But until the battle for the new master comes to an end, no one knows whether they can win the bet.

Jiakui's choice of a son-in-law was originally a matter of romance, but a joke involved the country's foundation, making people unavoidably care about it.

Old King Ling remained calm. He turned to look at Princess Helan. Although there was a smile on his lips, it was meaningful.

"My sister has no way to teach her daughter, I hope you will forgive me!" Princess Helan knelt down quickly, very nervous.

"Jiakui is ordered to choose a son-in-law. Even if you are the mother, you can't make the decision." Old King Ling gave her a step forward by joking.

"If my daughter is too old to stay, even if she is not Jiakui, my sister will not be able to take the lead."

Princess Helan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know Ji He's thoughts. It stands to reason that if Ji He made his mind clear today and chose King Jingchuan, Nuoda's threat would be naturally resolved. However, only the Holy Will of Old King Ling could be resolved. It is the key to the prosperity and disgrace of the princess palace.

Her son was loyal to the prince, but her daughter chose Prince Jingchuan as her husband. Although she seemed to be neutral and impartial about the matter of the country's successor, from another perspective, she had ulterior motives.

So she talked with her daughter all night long, persuading her not to rush, so she had the one-year period just now.

First, as long as everyone believes that Ji He is in love with King Jingchuan and their marriage is determined, Nuoda will be stabilized.

Secondly, let alone marriage, even if Ji He wanted to marry Prince Jingchuan and everyone knew it, as long as the imperial edict was not issued, there would be room for maneuver and Old Prince Ling would remain noncommittal.

This was a strategy that had the best of both worlds, but Princess Helan never expected that her daughter would use such a metaphor.

With her current status as a popular figure in the court and confidant of the old King Ling, any words she says will arouse endless speculation. Now the two kings are fighting against each other like water and fire. When the smoke clears, the dust will settle, and the addition of new greenery will mean the change of dynasty. Ji He admires her. Ling Buhuo, her good time is not King Jingchuan's good time!

Whoever can successfully inherit the throne will be loyal to whom the princess palace will be loyal!

Good guy, the pretense of neutrality has become straw on the city wall. Both sides have been offended. What's more terrible is that all they have taken away is the country in the hands of the old King Ling!

Princess Helan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but Ji He, unknowingly, was still kneeling and waiting for the answer she expected.

"Come on, we elders don't have to interfere with our children's family affairs." Old King Ling had a kind look on his face. Ji He accepted the decree with a smile, but did not understand the meaning. Regarding this one-year period, Old King Ling made no comment. Could it be that Jiakui's choice of a son-in-law without the emperor's personal consent was ultimately a joke.

Princess Helan agreed with a smile, but she understood very well that Old King Ling was suspicious. The future of the princess's palace was unknown, but fortunately, Nuoda's request was barely met.

After a newly arranged song and dance by Jia Rouzi, the atmosphere finally relaxed a little, but Ling Ziyu, who was doing something good, suddenly raised his glass in toast to Gu Yuchu.

"General Yuchi, your bravery and decisiveness today are admirable."

"His Royal Highness is overrated."

Gu Yuchu blushed slightly, stood up staggeringly, and drank all the wine in one gulp. Yanyang quickly filled up the wine glass for her. She quickly realized something was wrong. She only had a few glasses of wine today, but she started to have a headache. .

"I'm afraid General Yuchi is greedy for alcohol." Ling Ziyu squinted his eyes and looked at Ling Buhuo, who was sitting opposite with a gloomy face, and happily drank a glass alone.

"This apricot flower wine is sweet but has a lot of staying power. I can't bear it anymore." Shan Mingxi glanced at Ling Ziyu and relieved Gu Yuchu.

"My son's bedroom is closest to here. Why don't you let me take General Yuchi to have a rest?"

Princess Yanyang was very kind, and Old King Ling nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Princess Yanyang." Although Gu Yuchu was not familiar with Princess Yanyang, she really didn't want to stay at this banquet anymore, so she walked up the steps and got off the stairs with Princess Yanyang's support. Main hall.

Ling Buhuo looked at her back and frowned. He knew this woman's drinking capacity very well, but how could she not be able to walk in a straight line with just a few glasses of apricot flower wine.
