Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 18

"Sure enough, it's such a delicate thing!" Gu Qinghua gently opened the brocade box, and took out the round and smooth string of red sandalwood beads that were as big as a thumb in the box. Holding it in his hand, a faint scent unique to sandalwood rushed into his nose end, it is refreshing.She looked at it carefully, then turned her eyes to Princess Yizheng with a sweet smile, and said: "Even if you can't find a second one in the palace for such a high-quality red sandalwood bracelet, the princess really has a heart!"

"Your Majesty likes it!" Princess Yizheng smiled, and said with a smile: "It's just that Your Majesty praised it absurdly. There is no chance for a concubine to get such a good thing! To be honest, the dog Muzhen last year I went down to the south of the Yangtze River and worshiped Buddha in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. I got along with Master Kuchan of Lingyin Temple. I specifically ordered that it must be dedicated to His Majesty, saying that it is such a spiritual treasure, I dare not take it, and only Your Majesty is entitled to enjoy it!"

"Oh?" Gu Qinghua's heart skipped a beat, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the princess who discussed politics, or that guy Mu Zhen?However, these red sandalwood Buddha beads are round and shiny, and at first glance they are of excellent material and excellent carving workmanship, and the fragrance is more pure than usual, long and elegant, which is not produced by old trees over 500 years old. It can't be, and in addition, the well-known Master Kuchan in Xiguo has given the light, it's really rare!
"Then, thank you Prince Yizheng!" Gu Qinghua smiled sweetly, while secretly looking at Princess Yizheng's face, he put the string of Buddha beads on Hao Ruoshuangxue's wrist in front of her.

"Your Majesty's words are worthy of being a concubine! Your Majesty's willingness to accept it is the blessing of the concubine's mother and child!" The Princess Yizheng smiled like a flower blooming on her face.His eyes shone slightly, and his excitement was hard to hide.

Gu Qinghua became more and more puzzled, wondering why she was so excited?
"The concubine dare not bother His Majesty anymore, the concubine is leaving!" After a few more words, the concubine who was discussing politics got up and saluted and wanted to leave.

"In the new year, the princess's house is probably too busy, right? Then I won't keep the princess!" Gu Qinghua smiled, and ordered Aunt Su to send the princess and the reward to the gate of the palace.

"This princess, what does she mean?" Gu Qinghua raised his hand to remove the beads on his wrist, and asked Xianglin with his head tilted.

Xiang Lin sneered: "Your Majesty, don't you understand? It's not because of that bastard Mu Zhen!"

When Xianglin talked about Mu Zhen, she became angry. When the late emperor passed away, she saw that boy when she was guarding the spirit. The boy had a good skin, but he had a dandy temperament from the inside out, and was extremely frivolous. Especially those thieves' eyes that turned straight towards people made her gnash her teeth as soon as she saw her, wishing that someone would dig them out!
"Mu Zhen?" Gu Qinghua asked back full of doubts.

Xianglin really hated that iron cannot be made into steel, so she endured her patience and said helplessly: "Your Majesty still doesn't understand? The princess who discusses politics is here as a matchmaker!"

"Ah? You mean she wants me to be her daughter-in-law?" Gu Qinghua was surprised, this was something she didn't expect.She thought that Princess Discussing Political Affairs came with her to help Mu Zhen seek an official position!

She is not an ancient person, and she has little knowledge of this method of marrying to control the other party, but Xianglin is different. She grew up in the court. Although she is willful, she is not stupid. This kind of thing is indeed seen a lot up!
"No! She wants a little thief surnamed Mu to be your imperial husband!" Xianglin gritted her teeth and glanced at Gu Qinghua, thinking that she was so clever in ordinary times, how could her head suddenly turn into an elm lump?If it wasn't for the fact that nothing unexpected happened recently, Xianglin would definitely think that she was possessed by another soul time traveler!

Gu Qinghua's gaze suddenly jumped, and he was stunned for a while.Husband?It turns out that there is still an imperial husband's seat next to her!It's kind of funny when you think about it, but——

"Tell me, is this what the king of politics meant?" Gu Qinghua immediately smiled playfully.

"No!" Xianglin shook her head with great confidence, and said, "It must be the princess's own idea. If it were that old thief, he would not test His Majesty, but would force His Majesty with lightning speed. Hit His Majesty by surprise!"

Gu Qinghua nodded unconsciously.That's right, the king of politics will not be so stupid.This is equivalent to scaring the snake, which is not good for him.After all, she has a hostile relationship with King Yizheng, and unless she is forced to do so, she will never marry his son, and to achieve the best effect of persecution, of course, it is best to not leak any information beforehand!

"However, this just shows that the old thief also has the same meaning." Xiang Lin glanced at Gu Qinghua, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you really should consider becoming an imperial concubine!"

"You—" Gu Qinghua opened his eyes wide, and suddenly became angry.

She is the king of a country, and she is an adult, so she wants to "marry" the emperor's husband as a matter of course, otherwise, the king who discusses politics will not agree, the courtiers will not agree, Qingliu scholars will not agree, and the people of the country will not agree!Without a crown prince, the accusation of "three ways of being unfilial" will be slapped on her head, and the words of remonstrance and persuasion will definitely come like a flood, and by then, it will be annoying to death!If you don't agree, you will lose the hearts of the people.This is one.

If she does not establish a royal husband and does not get married, it means that she is underage. She will not have the opportunity to speak about politics in the court, and the courtiers will not regard her as a serious monarch, and many powers cannot be taken back. In his hands, he can only be at the mercy of the king of politics.This is the second.

If the King of Political Affairs really wants to "marry" Mu Zhen to her, he will definitely choose the most appropriate time and the most appropriate reason. If she refuses, the confrontation between the two parties will once again become apparent. At present, the power gap between the two parties is huge. , which does her no good.This is the third.

Gu Qinghua was a little dizzy thinking about it, he would rather pass out!Especially when she saw Xianglin, who was calm and unconcerned, she was even more unwilling.This should be her business, so why let her bear it?She even had some malicious imaginations. If the real Gu Qinghua had encountered this incident at this moment, she must have been crying heartbroken and mourning. You know, this meant that she would lose her brother the prince forever!Now it's good, she looks calm, and she actually told her plausibly that she should be the emperor's husband!
Well, although she "married" someone, it was just a literal cover-up. In fact, the things between men and women remained the same.Let her be a woman with a man she hates, what is the difference whether she "marries" or she "marries"?
"Your Majesty, move quickly," Xiang Lin continued, and when Gu Qinghua was about to jump up to refute in a panic, Xiang Lin continued: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty can make an order to publicly select from among the important officials in the court and the relatives and noble families. Husband, it's best, tell Shen Liulian about this in advance, let Shen Liulian lead the performance, let's see what that old thief has to say!"

Gu Qinghua's mouth, which was about to open, was closed again. Yes, as long as she opened the mouth before the Yizheng Wang, Yizheng Wang would not be able to say no matter how good the reason was.Since it is necessary to establish an imperial husband, it is better to simply open the audition and choose one who is pleasing to the eye!

If you're lucky, you might just pick the right life lover!Thinking of this, Gu Qinghua couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, leisurely fascinated, full of expectations, and his heart became a little hot, not as repulsive as before.

"Your Majesty," Aunt Su didn't know when she came back, and she didn't know how long she had been listening. When she heard this, she stepped forward lightly and saluted, "With the nature of the concubine who discusses politics, maybe she will tell the prince about today's affairs when she goes back. , Your Majesty, if you want to act first, you should not delay until tomorrow."
