My husband is a traitor

Chapter 291 Dai Xiao, centrifugal

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor's edict said. Gu Mingzhu, the daughter of Lord Protector, is noble, beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous. She is now named Princess Zhaoren, and she will go to the southern country to marry her soon. Here, princess, accept the order!"

The chief supervisor next to the emperor read out the imperial decree in a high-pitched voice, and then closed the imperial decree with one hand.The slender eyebrows stretched slightly, and with a flattering smile, he spoke gently to Gu Mingzhu who was kneeling below and motionless.

The last time he read out the edict of bestowing marriage was at the princess's mansion, at that time he disdained and sympathized with her, but then a bad relationship that was not favored became a good relationship.

But this time, with a smile on his face, he was conferred the title of princess concubine, and the concubine of Ouyang Lie who is in power in the southern kingdom... It's just that Gu Mingzhu, who was given a marriage, might not feel happy.

After receiving the imperial decree stiffly, Gu Mingzhu's calm eyes could not help trembling for a moment, she tightly squeezed the bright yellow paper of imperial decree in her hand, her red lips were pursed into a straight line, and she raised her lips with difficulty.

"Thank... Lord Ron."

The superintendent said some nice flattering words again, but Gu Mingzhu only nodded every now and then in response.

Then Gu Shengchang personally sent the superintendent out.

Looking back, he looked at Gu Mingzhu's calm and silent face, and raised his eyebrows inaudibly, "Mingzhu, don't worry too much, Dad has always loved you, when you marry, if there is anything, just write a letter and come back." ..."

He felt a little uneasy in his heart. The eldest daughter had always been arrogant and willful, but now... she was a little too quiet and obedient, and he had no choice but to bury doubts in his heart.

However, Gu Mingzhu did not leak water, and looked down with her usual expression, "Thank you father...now, mother is gone, daughter is married far away, father takes care of himself——"

Don't give up before I come back.

When Gu Mingzhu lowered his eyes, a gleam of fire flashed across his eyes.

Gu Shengchang felt a little at ease, it seems that he became taciturn because he lost his mother and was reluctant to leave home.

He found a reasonable explanation, so he didn't get entangled with Gu Mingzhu much, he responded perfunctorily, and then went out on the pretext of having something to do.

As soon as he left, Gu Mingzhu raised her eyes, and there was a shocking darkness and indifference in them.

Holding the imperial decree in silence, he turned around and flicked the hanging tassels, flowing and clean.

It's a pity, father, because of your carelessness today, you will be in danger of raising tigers.

"Miss, the empress of the palace has sent a message that she wants you to go—"

The maid stood behind Gu Mingzhu, carefully sizing up Gu Mingzhu's back, only feeling that the eldest lady's current temperament became more and more elusive.

"Understood." Gu Mingzhu put the imperial decree on the table, and put it aside casually. Hearing this, she moved in the flower pot in front of the windowsill of her mother's room and placed it next to the imperial decree.

The voice was cold and steady.

"Changing clothes, grooming."

"Yes."

The servant girl felt uneasy, the more calm and quiet she was, the more people didn't know what the eldest lady was thinking.

She called the maid who combed her hair and put on make-up to come in, and took the fancy clothes to wear into the palace——

"Take that white one." Seeing that the maid brought her a bright palace dress, Gu Mingzhu sat in front of the vanity mirror and ordered lightly.

The servant girl hesitated and said, "But..." How can she wear such unlucky clothes when she enters the palace to meet the empress?
Gu Mingzhu looked at the servant girl with sharp and indifferent eyes, "Can't you hear me?"

She is already wearing Xiaozhong, why can't she wear white clothes?

Heh, from now on, whether it is the Duke's Mansion or the Imperial Palace, the entire Northern Kingdom will not be her home country of Gu Mingzhu.She no longer has to please anyone or please anyone.

When she arrived at Renshou Palace, Hong Gu frowned when she saw Gu Mingzhu dressed in white, but she refrained from saying anything.

"Princess, please. Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."

Gu Mingzhu nodded lightly, without a hint of a smile on her face, her appearance was completely different from that of Miss Gu, who used to talk coquettishly when she saw Honggu.

Aunt Hong was slightly surprised, but seeing that the other party was still wearing a white flower on her head, she thought that she was still in her filial piety after all, and she would marry far away in the southern country... She guessed that this young lady's heart could not bear this series of blows.

Lifting the curtain, the queen sat on the head, slightly closed her eyes, and lightly supported her side head with one hand, with a peaceful appearance of closing her eyes and resting her mind.

When Gu Mingzhu saw such a queen, there was a flash of hatred in her eyes that couldn't be concealed for a moment, but she quickly lowered her head to conceal the magnificence in her eyes.

"Zhaoren, I've met...the empress."

Hearing a familiar but unfamiliar voice, the queen raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes, and looked at Gu Mingzhu who had lost a lot of weight in surprise. She was dressed in white, with delicate but light makeup, and white flowers on her hair.

There is less bright beauty, and more maturity of weak Jingyan.

only--

unlucky.

She frowned indistinctly, thinking that she had successfully concealed her emotions, but Gu Mingzhu had a grudge against her at this moment, and she did not miss the fleeting disgust of the Queen from the corner of her eyes.

The bottom of my heart froze slightly, and sure enough...

How stupid was she to think that this aunt treats her sincerely?

He sneered endlessly in his heart, but didn't show anything on his face.

"Mingzhu, why are you separated from your aunt? You child, hey, look at yourself, you have lost so much weight... Come to my aunt soon." The queen watched Gu Mingzhu grow up, and she was very concerned about this. The niece, who is beautiful but not brainy, knows it very well. Now that she has experienced a series of shocks, I am afraid that she also has resentment towards her as an aunt in her heart.

However, it doesn't matter.

A yellow-haired girl, where does she need to worry?
Gu Mingzhu hesitated for a while, then pursed her lips and walked forward, and sat down beside the queen as she said.

The queen went to hold her hand, but she avoided it.

With lowered eyes, a quiet and well-behaved but also alienated attitude.

The smile froze at the corners of the Queen's mouth, and then she laughed again, "You child, do you blame your aunt for not pleading with His Majesty for you?"

Seeing that Gu Mingzhu didn't answer, she continued to explain clearly, "Hey, it's not that my aunt refuses to help you, it's you... Poor child, you are not the opponent of Jiang Linlang and Rong Jue, why bother to put yourself It's been taken in... It's the only way to go now. However, you can't be a good daughter-in-law of your aunt, and now being your aunt's daughter can be regarded as a comfort to your well-known mother..."

Hearing her mention of her mother, Gu Mingzhu almost broke her fingernails, and a deep haze flashed in her eyes.

After a long while, he said shyly, "Will mother comfort you?"

How can he be comforted by such an inexplicable death, aggrieved and unwilling?
After Gu Mingzhu finished speaking, she raised her head and stared at the queen without blinking, like a helpless child.

The queen's expression changed slightly, her eyes flickered, she did not meet Gu Mingzhu's eyes, and took a sip of tea in a concealed manner.

"Don't talk about this, so as not to arouse your sadness..."
