Contract Prince

When Gu Yunjing walked out of Zhengyang Palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.Sitting on the carriage back home, he was thinking, the empress wanted to betroth the princess to him, it could only explain one problem, and that was the decline of the prince.The queen wanted to draw her father into the prince's camp through this marriage.

Royal affairs are too complicated.At this time, he felt a little sympathetic to the sixth princess. Such a fairy-like figure was destined to be a political victim.Even if he doesn't marry, the queen will betroth the princess to other princes and princes.

This marriage was not brought about by love, but by rights.Gu Yunjing sighed softly, pinched his fingers and rubbed the center of his brows, no longer bothered to think, and leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed to rest.

In the palace, outside the Youxue Pavilion.

Xiao Muxue stood at the railing of the attic, facing the wind, with three thousand blue hair hanging down her shoulders, and she was wearing a white dress.Ice muscles and bones, eyes like water, but with a touch of coldness.

"His Royal Highness, the empress has summoned Zhenyuan to wait for the crown prince." Those who wandered in the deep palace had top-notch ability to inquire about news.After Yuyao, the personal maid, learned the news, Xiao Muxue immediately reported it.

"Emperor Zhenyuan Hou?" Xiao Muxue lowered her eyebrows, thoughtful, as if she was trying to recall the appearance of Zhenyuan Hou Shizi, but she couldn't squeeze out even a little bit of the other person's appearance in her mind.

Although Gu Yunjing is the grandson of a prince, he is quite low-key. He has always lived in seclusion, and very few people have seen him.Xiao Muxue heard from the Queen that Gu Yunjing was weak and usually recuperated at home, so it was not appropriate for anyone to disturb her.

"Isn't it? It's Gu Yunjing, the eldest son of Zhenyuan. I heard from the people in the palace that this eldest son is very good-looking, even more handsome than women." Yuyao, a little girl, said with her chin resting on her face. .

"Is it?"

Yuyao subconsciously shut up, and immediately showed a peachy smile: "Of course no matter how handsome she is, she is not as good-looking as Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The sixth princess frowned slightly, and sighed vaguely: "It seems that the queen mother is going to betroth me to him."

Compared to marrying far away in the remote Southern Chu, marrying Gu Yunjing is a good choice.But Xiao Muxue didn't feel the slightest bit of joy, because she was not the real sixth princess, but she had traveled from modern times.

Her real name is Xiao Muxue, she is female, she likes female, and she is the president of a high-end group in the 21st century.Ten days ago, on the way to get off work, unfortunately, a car accident happened, and he died.

Sometimes I have to lament the similarity of tragic fate, and the woman in white can't help sighing when she thinks of her experience with the princess.

The real princess Xiao Muxue also died ten days ago.In fact, this magnificent princess has long wanted to belong to her. She fell in love with Han Jun, a poor student.

Han Jun's status is a bit poor, but he is handsome, literary and martial, and he can be regarded as a young talent.Talent and beauty are a natural match, but it is a pity that the princess is the daughter of the royal family, and more political factors need to be considered in marriage.

At that time, the relationship between Southern Chu and Xiao State was tense. Southern Chu was originally a small frontier country, and it had always bowed its head to Xiao State.The monarch Yu Wenyan took the top position to pay close attention to the military and worked hard for several years, and Southern Chu gradually became stronger.

Yu Wenyan came to Xiao Country three years ago when he went to pay tribute, and fell in love with Xiao Muxue at first sight.He strongly expressed to Xiao Guan that he hoped to marry the sixth princess.

Yu Wenyan is not only cruel but also has many wives and concubines, and Southern Chu is a remote place. Xiao Guan felt hurt for letting go of his daughter, so he immediately rejected Yu Wenyan's request.Of course, the reason is very reluctant, saying that the princess is young.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wenyan would never forget Xiao Muxue.Three years later, that is, more than ten days ago, he sent a letter to express his desire to propose marriage again.Moreover, he also made it clear that he would come to Xiao Country in a month, and hoped that he could marry the princess smoothly this time.

After Xiao Guan received the letter, his face turned blue with anger, but he never dared to refuse immediately like last time.There is no other reason, because he is afraid of Nan Chu's strength.

At that time, the country of Xiao was no longer as strong as it was back then, and the people were rich, and this had something to do with Xiao Guan.In his later years, Xiao Guan was no longer that talented and generous monarch. He loved great achievements, admired luxury, listened to slander, and played Xiao Guo's good cards in a mess.

At this time, the queen came up with an idea and pointed out the sixth princess to Zhenyuan Hou Shizi.Gu Yunjing looks good, and is compatible with the sixth princess.

Xiao Guan knew that the queen was trying to gain influence for the prince, but he didn't care too much. At this moment, finding a good-looking consort for his daughter was the most important thing.As for the distribution of forces between the DPRK and China, he still has ways to restrict and solve them.

Although Zhenyuan Hou Shizi is a little weaker, he is gentle and refined, and he comes from a noble family.It's much better than marrying Yu Wenyan, who has many wives and concubines, who is fierce and tyrannical.

Xiao Guan stroked his beard and nodded, he still likes Gu Yunjing to be his son-in-law.

The walls of the imperial palace are all leaky, and the news of Gu Yunjing being recruited as a son-in-law quickly reached the ears of the princess, and she turned pale when she heard it.Xiao Muxue knew Xiao Guan's temper, even if she persuaded her a hundred times, there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

There was Yu Wenyan in the front, and Gu Yunjing in the back. Xiao Muxue was caught between these two strange men, and it was extremely painful.In order to pursue her own happiness, she left the palace privately and eloped with Han Jun.

When Xiao Guan found out, he was furious and led the imperial army to arrest the two of them himself.The final result was that Han Jun was sent to death row, and the princess was punished for thinking about her mistakes.

Although the sixth princess looks cold-tempered on the surface, she really loves Han Jun to the bone.She begged Xiao Guan to let Han Jun go several times, but Xiao Guan was unmoved.Finally, in desperation, he did not hesitate to commit suicide by drinking poison, and asked for death.

Xiao Muxue, the beauty president of Sister Yu, slipped into her body by accident.The only thing that makes President Xiao rejoice is that she is somewhat similar to the original owner of the body in character. She looks cold, but she dares to love and hate.

The spring is cold, the plum blossoms are blooming, and the February wind is blowing coldly on Xiao Muxue's face.

"Your Highness, it's windy outside, let's go inside and rest." Yu Yao went back to the room and took a mink fur and put it on Xiao Muxue's shoulders, and said softly.

Xiao Muxue said calmly: "Yuyao, accompany me to the empress's place."

Yuyao knew that the empress had always loved the princess, and the princess had been disgusted with her for a long time because of her marriage, the empress was worried and felt uncomfortable.The princess will take the initiative to meet the queen, and the empress will be very happy.

Yuyao chuckled lightly: "The Empress will definitely be overjoyed."

In Zhengyang Palace, the queen leaned on the phoenix chair, resting her forehead with her left hand.There is a tired look in the picturesque eyebrows.She has indeed been exhausted these years, she devoted herself to raising the prince and the sixth princess, and now she still has to worry about the situation of the prince and the marriage of the sixth princess.

The prince Xiao Zhan is knowledgeable and virtuous, and he was originally the heir to the throne.However, in recent years, the situation in the court has changed greatly, and there has been a situation where the eldest son of the emperor is fighting with the prince.

The eldest son of the emperor, Xiao Cong, was born of the concubine Qin's family. He was jealous, scheming, and somewhat talented, but he was definitely not expected to be an emperor.Helplessly, recently Xiao Guan dotes on Concubine Li a lot, and has been blown by the wind blowing from the pillow, restricting the prince even more.

Empress Zhao originally wanted to betroth the sixth princess to Gu Yunjing, so as to win over Gu Wei to wait in Zhenyuan, but she didn't know that Gu Yunjing had no intention of the princess.

The crown prince's position is in jeopardy, and the sixth princess has a rift with her again.Thinking of this, the Queen's heart couldn't help but tighten up.

"His Royal Highness is here." The eunuch hoisted a drake sound.

When the queen heard this, a look of joy appeared on her originally calm face, and she seemed to be refreshed.

"I pay homage to the queen mother." Before Xiao Muxue could salute, the queen stepped forward to support her.

The queen smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Xue'er hasn't come to Zhengyang Palace for some time."

It was the first time for Xiao Muxue to pay homage to the Empress since she traveled through time.The original owner was disgusted with the queen, she didn't, but she was not used to being in the palace just now, and she didn't want to have any contact with people.After ten days, she managed to convince herself to try to accept and get used to it.

The empress pulled Xiao Muxue to her and chatted about the family affairs: "The crown prince is busy, Cheng'er leaves early, and you don't come often, Zhengyang Palace is deserted, and the empress mother is also lonely."

At this moment, Zhao's expression is a bit sad, she has let go of the majesty of her mother, and she is no different from those mothers in the world who look forward to their children's care.

Looking at the Queen's earnest gaze, Xiao Muxue's heart was inexplicably touched.In the past, she was the only daughter of the Xiao family and the president of the Xiao Group. She was often busy with her career and neglected her parents.

Xiao Muxue slightly parted her thin lips, and nodded slowly: "Okay."

Zhao smiled with satisfaction.She winked at the court ladies and servants, signaling them to back down.Pulling Xiao Muxue's slender hand into her own, she said earnestly, "The queen mother knows that you like that scholar, but you are a princess, your father's treasure, and the most precious woman in our country of Xiao."

"Your father wants to save face. He will definitely not let you marry Han Jun. It's good for you to elope with him. The emperor has been completely offended. If you don't get married, Han Jun can only be imprisoned in death row for the rest of his life. "

"It was indeed my idea to point you to Zhenyuan Hou's son." Zhao sighed, "The queen mother also has selfish intentions. Now that the Eastern Palace is in decline, Zhan'er's crown prince is also in jeopardy. Thinking of marrying Zhenyuanhou, he can Help your prince brother."

"I can't bear to let you marry Nanchu far away, but also want to consolidate Zhan'er's position. Gu Yunjing is gentle and kind, and he treats his servants very well. Thinking of you marrying him, he will treat you well."

Queen Zhao patted Xiao Muxue's hand lightly: "Xue'er, you have to understand Queen Mother's intentions, and don't hate Queen Mother."

Since ancient times, the marriages of royal sons and daughters have mostly been helpless, Xiao Muxue has read history books, and understands this truth, Queen Zhao's marriage for the original owner really took a lot of thought.

"I heard from Yuyao that Zhenyuan Hou's son rejected the queen mother's proposal." Xiao Muxue's visit to Zhengyang Palace today was indeed for her marriage with Gu Yunjing.

"Gu Yunjing already has a sweetheart. He doesn't care about you, and you won't be happy if you marry him. Mother will choose a good-looking son-in-law for you from the princely family."

The empress pointed Xiao Muxue to Gu Yunjing, in addition to the fact that Zhenyuanhou Gu Wei is a high-ranking and important factor, another consideration is that she hopes that the prince can treat the princess well.Since Gu Yunjing had no intention of doing so, he had no choice but to choose a son-in-law from other princes of the aristocratic family.

Xiao Muxue thought to herself: Now that things have come to this point, it is impossible not to marry, Gu Yunjing has her own heart, isn't it just in line with her own wishes?

Immediately she said: "Mother, Gu Yunjing looks good and is a modest gentleman. My son likes him very much."

Mrs. Zhao hesitated and said, "But he already has a woman he likes, and you will only wrong yourself if you marry her."

Xiao Muxue smiled: "It doesn't matter, he feels dissatisfied, he can marry that woman, and my son can be a young one."
