My husband is a traitor

Chapter 250 Marriage Proposal, Effective

Half an hour later, Qi Lei hurriedly rode into the palace.

Renshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, King Yu is asking to see you." The maid came in cautiously, calling softly to the Queen who was resting with her eyes closed.

The empress's phoenix eyes were slightly opened, and her eyes were half closed, as if a little surprised, "Who's here?"

The court lady whispered again, "King Yu."

Qi Lei?

The queen is in a good mood these days, the reason is——

She went to see the noisy Ouyang Wu once, that stupid woman, without coaxing, she took advantage of her with a few words.

How gloomy the Zhongcui Palace is these few days, how open and bright her Renshou Palace is.

I heard that the emperor had not summoned or visited Chu Lian'er, that foxy son, for several days. That foxy son was so angry that she dropped several precious utensils.

It's just a pity that the emperor is currently working on fresh energy, and he was also worried about this pregnancy, but although Ouyang Wu is not smart, she can't bear to be beautiful, young and enthusiastic, so she pestered the emperor for a few days and didn't go to court.Not to mention going out to see the noble concubine Lian who used to be the harem favorite.

Although the fact that Ouyang Wu lives in the emperor's bedroom has not been made public due to the current juncture, it has long been self-evident in the palace.Although there is no reward yet, judging by the momentum, I am afraid that Chu Lian'er's favor has come to an end.

Thinking of this, the empress felt less repulsive towards Qi Lei, who had always been disliked. She lightly adjusted her fine clothes, and said in a warm voice, "Let him in."

Qi Lei saluted the queen very respectfully and politely, "I have met the empress empress. May the empress be blessed and safe."

"Why does King Yu have time to come to this palace?" Seeing that King Yu came here on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and even brought gifts, although the Empress didn't want to see her, she still showed some of the gentleness and kindness that people are used to.

Qi Lei seemed a little embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked a bit fierce when he frowned, but because his eyes were dark and clear, he only felt simple and honest, and didn't feel that there was much scheming.

He hesitated for a while, then simply lifted his robe, knelt down to the queen, pursed his lips and whispered in embarrassment, "My son came here to ask for something. I also ask the empress for permission..."

"Oh, what's the matter?" The Queen raised her eyelids, raised her eyebrows, stared at Qi Lei who was below him with some surprise and suspicion, thinking in her mind.

Qi Lei relayed Xiaofu's story, Jiang Linlang thought about his rhetoric, in order to avoid being misunderstood, he lowered his head and tried not to look up into the queen's eyes.

"To tell you the truth, my son-in-law has also arrived...cough, it's time to get married. Not long ago...cough, my son-in-law saved the second lady of the Huguo Duke's mansion, who is your niece...but it's exhausting. The girl's reputation... My son, my son saw that the second young miss Gu was gentle and virtuous, she was worthy of being a lady from a famous family from the Duke Huguo's mansion... I admired her so much, I wanted to marry her...

It's just that the concubine's health is not good, and the emperor doesn't like her very much... The minister wants to see the emperor, but he is afraid that the emperor will not agree.So, so..."

Seeing that he was a big man hesitating for a long time, the queen's eyes were a little mocking and funny, but I have to say that Qi Lei was straightforward, and his flattering words sounded more pleasing to the ear.

While he was praising Gu Minglan, he also flattered the queen (taught by Jiang Linlang), the effect should not be too good.

The queen touched the pattern on her sleeve, and she couldn't help being gentle and funny, "So, you want me to make the decision for you?"

But he was calculating in his heart, the authenticity of Qi Lei's words.

But she has always placed eyeliner in the palace of concubines, and she has heard about Qi Lei's visit to his mother and concubine a few days ago.It was also expected by her that he could not see the emperor.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed reasonable to be able to come to her to ask for this marriage.

After all, not to mention that she is a queen, she also came from the Duke Protector's Mansion. Gu Minglan is her niece in name, and no one is more suitable to be the master than her.

After getting rid of Qi Lei's suspicion of cheating and playing tricks, she pondered and began to calculate the pros and cons of Qi Lei if he married Gu Minglan.

But after some calculations, I found that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Gu's daughter, a concubine.

Why didn't she think of it before, what about Gu Minglan?

Pointing out the unloved concubine daughter of the Gu family to King Yu was simply a coup for her to be served tea when she was thirsty and a pillow when she was sleepy.

However, this is a good thing Qi Lei, a fool, sent to his door.

If she had thought of this idea by herself, she might not be able to successfully designate the concubine of Duke Huguo's mansion to the majestic prince as his concubine, but if Qi Lei came to ask for marriage...

"I beg your mother to be perfect." Qi Lei blushed, it was interesting to be tall and blushing, and the maids in the palace couldn't help but cover their mouths secretly.

The queen glanced lightly at the palace servants on both sides, and they immediately stopped laughing.

She picked up the teacup, but said in a bit of distress, "You said that you want to marry... you want to marry Ming Lan as your concubine?"

Qi Lei really wanted to say directly, yes, there is nothing wrong.

But he immediately stopped himself from blurting out the idea, thinking of the precautions that Jiang Linlang asked Xiao Fu to remind repeatedly, he pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, as if he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer it.

Sure enough, the queen's expression froze slightly, she narrowed her phoenix eyes, and put the tea cup on the table. It was not heavy, but there was a little smile on her face.

"Lei'er, it's not that I'm protecting my niece. It's the daughter of the Gu family. There's no reason to be a concubine. As you said, Minglan is gentle and virtuous, a lady from a famous family. Although she is a concubine, she is also my beloved niece. .I don’t protect her but I don’t want her to be wronged. If you are sincere, I can point her to another marriage and never let her be a concubine.”

Look, listen to this, if it wasn't for Qi Lei's proposal to marry Gu Minglan, I'm afraid the empress still can't think of Gu Minglan.

Now she said hypocritically that she felt sorry for her niece and couldn't bear her being wronged as a concubine.

Those who didn't know really thought that the concubine daughter of the Gu family was also loved.

Even Qi Lei couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he lowered his head when the other party couldn't see, his eyes were shining with disbelief.

He was just blunt, but he wasn't really stupid. Now he understood Jiang Linlang's intentions.

Only in this way, the empress will take the initiative to arrange this marriage, and do her best to hope that Gu Minglan will become the eminent concubine, instead of just being promoted as a side concubine or Teng concubine.

Seeing that he kept his head down and didn't speak, the queen thought he was hesitant, so she pretended to be cold, "Why, have you thought about it?"

"I've made up my mind!" Qi Lei gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, raised his head, his eyes flashed with determination, as if he had made up his mind, "Your Majesty is right, Miss Gu is well-educated, gentle and elegant, she is indeed the candidate for the right concubine. My son wants to marry Miss Gu as his concubine, please let me do it!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

The queen then leaned back slightly, her whole body relaxed a lot, with a smile in her eyes, she couldn't help wondering why they were all raised in the palace, and the royal family would come out with stupid idiots like Ouyang Wu and Qi Lei.

But, really, it made her happy.
