"I only kiss Ayan alone." Gong Yu said with a red face.
With a smile in his eyes, Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's lips with his fingertips and said in a low voice: "I originally found a suitable concubine for Xiao Jiu."
"Ah? Are you really looking for Ayan?" Gong Yu stretched out his hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand and asked.
"Yes." Dai Ruyan responded with playful blinking of her eyes, her eyes fell on Gong Yu's blushing cheeks and said: "This will also save Xiao Jiu from being surrounded by those women. There are also officials in the hall waiting for the opportunity to give Xiaojiu a concubine's room."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I don't want any concubines."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's fingertips and responded in a low voice: "But I haven't made any arrangements for a long time."
"So Ayan is also reluctant to part with me, right?" Gong Yu frowned and said, "In other words, Ayan still loves me."
"Reluctance?" Dai Ruyan shook his head and said again: "It's not so much that I feel distressed, it's better to say that I don't like her being around Xiaojiu."
"Even the ones I personally pick, I don't like."
Gong Yu only felt that today's Dai Ruyan might have honey in his mouth, and said such sweet love words in a serious manner.
"Isn't Ah Yan being too domineering?" Gong Yu blinked at Dai Ruyan and said.
"Overbearing?" Dai Ruyan frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Jiu doesn't like it?"
Gong Yu shook her head and responded with a smile: "No, it's just that A Yan really doesn't look like a person with such a strong desire to control."
Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's brow with the other hand, as if thinking deeply:
"I've never felt this way before. It seems that after meeting Xiao Jiu, this strong idea seems to become more and more obvious."
"Then what should I do?" Gong Yu lay on her back in Dai Ruyan's arms and asked, "Isn't it very dangerous for me to be like this now?"
"Where is the danger?" Dai Ruyan asked puzzled.
Gong Yu sat up from Dai Ruyan's arms, and said seriously: "Then if one day I am disobedient, or if Ayan doesn't want me to do something, I will do what I will, what will happen to Ayan?"
Dai Ruyan looked into Gong Yu's eyes, seemed to think for a moment and replied: "That depends on what Xiao Jiu wants to do."
"What do you dislike about me the most?"
"Injury." Dai Ruyan's eyes dimly responded.
Gong Yu listened to these two words with some confusion and said, "I won't hurt Ayan."
"Then what is Xiaojiu worried about?"
"I'm just thinking that sometimes Ayan seems to be a different person suddenly." Gong Yu stretched out his hand and lightly shook Dai Ruhangluo's hand and said, "And what does Ayan mean by the injury?"
"Injury is injury." Dai Ruyan said with cold eyes, "Is there anything else?"
Apparently Dai Ruyan has become sensitive to such topics, Gong Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said instead: "Okay."
Dai Ruyan seemed to be recovering, stretched his arms and gently held Gong Yu's cheek and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu's liking won't hurt, right?"
"Ah."
"Then I will never hurt Xiao Jiu, so this is liking, right?"
In fact, when Gong Yu heard this, she was also a little confused, and nodded in a daze.
Dai Ruyan seemed to confirm something, looking at Gong Yu expectantly in his eyes.
Gong Yu asked hesitantly: "What is Ayan thinking?"
"I'm thinking about Xiaojiu's liking." Dai Ruyan paused and said, "I'm also thinking about my liking."
"Does this have any special meaning?"
"of course."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's cheek affectionately, Gong Yu's ignorant face was hidden in the deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised and said: "I think Xiao Jiu's liking is very simple, mine is much more complicated, but I Still won't hurt Xiao Jiu."
Gong Yu was confused and said: "But every time Ayan kisses me, she doesn't blush at all."
"Why are you blushing?"
amount……
"Does Ayan have a fast heartbeat?" Gong Yu asked in a different way.
Dai Ruyan seemed to think about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "I will kiss if I want to, so is there any other reaction?"
Although there is nothing wrong with what he said, judging from Dai Ruyan's calm demeanor, he probably did it because he was thinking about it.
Gong Yu looked at it very seriously, and said with annoyance: "It's not that there must be other reactions, but the heartbeat is always needed."
"What if it doesn't?"
"Normally speaking, if a person says she likes her but she doesn't feel moved, she is a scumbag to some extent."
"Scum girl... what is it?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's slightly unclear eyes and explained: "He is a heartless man!"
Dai Ruyan smiled suddenly, and gently kissed Gong Yu's forehead with his lips, and said, "What is Xiao Jiu worried about?"
"If Xiao Jiu is worried, why not go to propose marriage on behalf of the family now?"
"Marriage proposal?" Gong Yu was a little dazed when he heard this topic.
"Girls should be faithful to each other. If I marry Xiao Jiu, I will be Xiao Jiu's wife. This is not a heartless person."
"But Ayan doesn't regret it?"
"Why should I regret it?" Dai Ruyan asked Gong Yu's brow lightly with his thumb.
Originally, Gong Yu was still struggling with how to explain the special meaning of liking to Ruyan, but in the blink of an eye, Ruyan suddenly wanted to propose marriage, and the topic changed a little quickly.
Gong Yu slightly opened the distance, straightened the quilt, and sat in front of Dai Ruyan, looking at Dai Ruyan.
Today's Dai Ruyan is wearing a light blue dress with flowers embroidered on it, her face is not heavy in makeup, the color of rouge is light and elegant, and her eyebrows are gentle and moving.
All this is normal, Gong Yu looked at it again and again, pursed her lips and asked: "Marriage is a big deal. A few days ago, Ayan reassured me that I was not in a hurry. Why did you suddenly ask me to come to propose marriage?"
Dai Ruyan gently held Gong Yu's hand with her slender fingertips and said, "If Xiao Jiu doesn't want to marry a wife, she will take a concubine to hide her identity. Could it be that Xiao Jiu would rather take a concubine than marry me?"
"Nothing." Gong Yu hurriedly shook her head and said, "If you marry, you must marry."
"It's just that Ayan said it so suddenly, I just feel that everything happened too fast, and I feel a little dizzy in my head."
"Stupid." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand tightly and said, "I didn't think about it before, but I just remembered it suddenly."
"I thought about staying with you around me, watching the house for you, and saving you from being teased so stupidly that you don't know."
amount……
Gong Yu inexplicably felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring down, and asked hesitantly: "A Yan married me, is it just to take good care of me?"
"Of course." Dai Ruyan looked firmly at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiunian is getting older, but all the children of the royal family are easy to be targeted by others. Gossip in the capital is trivial, let alone..."
"What's more?"
"The Taifu's daughter, Zhao Anyue, has been making trouble in the mansion recently, and she wants the Taifu to go to the court to ask you to marry me." Dai Ruyan paused and said, "If Xiao Jiu still doesn't make a statement, it may be an imperial decree to grant marriage. They're all coming down."
Gong Yu listened to Dai Ruyan's words with a dazed expression, and said mischievously: "Sure enough, Ayan still cares about me."
Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's face helplessly and said, "If you really don't care about Xiao Jiu, why am I here now?"
"But Ayan, you have to trust me, I have nothing to do with that Zhao Anyue, she insists on relying on me."
Dai Ruyan raised her hand and lightly scratched Gong Yu's nose and said softly, "Silly Xiaojiu, of course I believe you."
"But you must perform in court tomorrow."
"But I haven't asked the old housekeeper to prepare the things I want to propose marriage, and if I get married, I will have to have people repair the house, and I still have to make up for it." Gong Yu frowned and said.
"What's Xiao Jiu panicking?" Dai Ruyan took Gong Yu's hand and said, "It's just a marriage proposal, marriage is still far away."
"Really?" Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan and asked.
Dai Ruyan nodded and said: "Ordinary etiquette is cumbersome, let alone the royal family, it is even more red tape, and every detail must be ordered months in advance."
Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "Ayan, have you really figured it out? Once you get married, you can't regret it."
Even though Dai Ruyan may not understand emotions, she still has reason. Gong Yu must have an accurate answer to this matter.
"Regret?" Dai Ruyan raised his hand to hold Gong Yu's cheek, looked at Gong Yu with frivolous and charming eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid Xiao Jiu will regret it."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I won't regret it."
"But it's useless even if Xiaojiu regrets it." Dai Ruyan smiled lightly and said, "At that time, we were already in the marriage book and recorded in the royal family book."
"Unless Xiao Jiu wants to divorce me, others have no right to intervene."
"I won't divorce Ayan." Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand and asked, "It's just that Ayan is not afraid of the consequences if the two women get married and are discovered by others?"
"afraid?"
Dai Ruyan smiled lightly, without any hesitation in his eyes, he lowered his head and kissed the back of Gong Yu's hand, "Why should I be afraid?"
"As long as Xiao Jiu is obediently by my side, nothing else is worth mentioning."
Gong Yu only felt that Dai Ruyan's small gesture made her blush and her heart beat, she turned her head to look at the pool on the side, the sun was very strong outside.
But Dai Ruyan didn't feel the heat at all, he held Gong Yu's hand tightly and said softly, "Why don't you talk?"
"No...my heart was beating so hard that I didn't slow down."
"It's not something to worry about, what is the heart beating so fast?" Dai Ruyan frowned and stretched out his hand towards Gong Yu's wrist.
Gong Yu thought that Dai Ruyan was taking the pulse, so she asked, "Ah Yan knows medicine?"
"will not."
"I just want to know how fast Xiao Jiu's heart beats."
Gong Yu, who was asked such a question, blushed and responded softly: "A Yan still thinks I'm stupid, obviously A Yan is stupid."
"Where did you say that?"
Dai Ruyan's fingertips were still resting lightly on Gong Yu's wrist, Gong Yu pursed her lips and looked at Dai Ruyan, who was calm and breezy, and couldn't help feeling annoyed that she was flustered by Dai Ruyan's teasing, but she herself followed Like a normal person.
Gong Yu withdrew his hand from Dai Ruyan's fingertips and said: "Ayan doesn't know how to like, doesn't know how to be jealous, and doesn't even know how to be moved, the whole thing is like a wooden man."
"I'm not a wooden person." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's wrist lightly in his palm, and responded softly and delicately: "I love Xiao Jiu, worry about Xiao Jiu, and care about Xiao Jiu, isn't that enough?"
"Maybe I don't understand what Xiao Jiu said, but we still have a long life in the future, wouldn't it be good to take it slowly?"
Dai Ruyan spoke very slowly, staring at Gong Yu with tenderness in his eyes, delicately stroking Gong Yu's arm with his fingertips, as if his breathing and heartbeat were magnified in this quiet pavilion.
The sweltering wind rushed into the pavilion, gently shaking the green gauze, and even Gong Yu's eyes, Dai Ruyan's eyes seemed to be glowing softly, and Gong Yu fell into these gentle eyes if he didn't pay attention. I can't extricate myself from my eyes.
But Gong Yu understands that there is something wrong with Dai Ruyan's eyes, her eyes are full of tenderness but calm and rational.
Gong Yu blinked and raised her hand to lightly smooth the broken hair on Ruyan's cheek and said in a low voice, "I don't want to be protected by Ayan all the time, one day I will be able to protect Ayan too."
"I know." Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "But I like the feeling of protecting Xiao Jiu."
"why?"
"Because having Xiao Jiu in my arms will make me stronger."
Dai Ruyan's eyes met Gong Yu's and smiled gently, as if Gong Yu saw another Dai Ruyan completely different from her eyes in those eyes.
Because Dai Ruyan in her eyes is more like a conspirator, her eyes are full of confidence, but with a majesty that makes people have to surrender.
This feeling made Gong Yu inexplicably a little scared, Gong Yu dodged Dai Ruyan's gaze and said, "Powerful, is it really so attractive?"
"Only by being strong can you protect yourself, and you can even easily get what you want. It's like the supreme power. Who doesn't want it?"
"I don't want power." Gong Yu turned his head to look at Dai Ruyan and said, "If possible, I still hope that it would be better to leave the capital with Ayan."
Gong Yu subconsciously felt that the capital seemed to be slowly changing Dai Ruyan, as if making Dai Ruyan more powerful.
Dai Ruyan did not refute, and followed Gong Yu's words: "Xiao Jiu is talking in his sleep, we were still discussing the matter of asking you to propose marriage in court tomorrow."
"Is this a dream?"
Gong Yu asked hesitantly: "Power and me, which side will Ayan choose more?"
"Of course I choose Xiao Jiu, what kind of stupid question is this?"
Dai Ruyan didn't hesitate, and there was no falsehood in her eyes, Gong Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, comforting herself that Dai Ruyan would never be the kind of person who is greedy for profit.
She lives in seclusion on weekdays, except for some banquets that she is required to attend, most of the rest she doesn't like to be lively.
And when it comes to costumes and jewelry, she is mostly unremarkable, even the precious teacup that the second princess broke that day, Gong Yu went to find it later, only then did she know that it was a peerless treasure.
But when the teacup was broken, Dai Ruyan said a few words just as a joke, without any intention of taking it to heart.
Such a person who lives indifferently doesn't look like he attaches great importance to prosperity and wealth.
Gong Yu thought for a while and then went back to the original point. When she looked closely at Dai Ruyan's eyes, she seemed to be no different from the usual Dai Ruyan.
On the contrary, Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in bewilderment and said, "Why does Xiao Jiu stare at me non-stop?"
"No... I just want to see Ayan's eyes."
"Why don't you praise the rouge I put on today?" Dai Ruyan said with a smile.
Gong Yu touched her nose guiltily and said: "Rouge is naturally beautiful, but even if Ayan doesn't wear rouge, it is still very beautiful."
"You will be poor-mouthed." Dai Ruyan tapped Gong Yu's forehead with her fingertips, turned to look at Gong Yu's curled wrist and sighed: "This swollen bag needs to be sprayed with medicine every day, otherwise it will always be It can’t be removed, I’m afraid it will leave a scar.”
"No way?" Gong Yu looked at her arms and whispered, "That woman in red is really vicious."
"Xiao Jiu should also know that not all women protect you like I do."
Gong Yu nodded in response: "That's right, Ayan is the person who treats me best in this world."
Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips and said softly, "I know how to be good."
"I'm only being good to A Yan."
The sun was scorching outside the pavilion, and even the red lacquered wooden boards inside the pavilion were very reflective. Gong Yu quietly looked at Dai Ruyan in front of her and couldn't help thinking, even if Dai Ruyan's heart is really a stone, as long as she said it would so-so.
Anyway, the days are still long, and one day Dai Ruyan will understand, because Dai Ruyan likes her in the palm of Gongyu's palm, even if this kind of liking is only based on Dai Ruyan's rational thinking.
In the early morning of the next day, Gong Yu straightened her robes and rode to court. For the first time in her life, she had to speak in the hall, just to propose marriage.
Even Gong Yu, who stayed up most of the night, wrote the speech with full of emotion.
But the gate of the palace will not be opened even if you arrive early, and even when Gong Yu comes, except for a few old ministers, the younger ministers probably have just left the palace.
Gong Yu secretly took out the manuscript and read it silently. Suddenly, the old lady Fu appeared out of nowhere, and Gong Yu was so scared that she almost dropped the manuscript.
"Morning Taifu!" Gong Yu smiled and hid the manuscript in her sleeve pocket.
Ever since Dai Ruyan learned yesterday that the grand tutor is going to marry her today, Gong Yu can't wait to get as far away from the tutor as possible.
"Life is really fast now." Taifu stroked his beard and sighed: "His Ninth Prince was only a child back then, but now he is of marriageable age."
Fortunately, he is the elder of the two dynasties, this is really a very direct point to the theme.
Gong Yu stepped back and said, "The people of Gong Guo are still in dire straits, so there is no rush for this matter."
The Taifu smiled and said: "The matter in the court will never be resolved, but His Royal Highness has reached the age of marriage, and there is a little girl in the old man's house. Although she is a bit playful, she is also knowledgeable and courteous."
Knowledgeable and polite?
If it weren't for the fact that this Taifu is also Gong Yu's teacher, otherwise Gong Yu would really want to roll up his sleeves and let him see that the teeth marks bitten by Zhishu Dali's youngest daughter have not disappeared yet.
"Teacher has a heart, but he already has a beautiful woman in his heart, so he doesn't think about other things."
Before the words finished, the Taifu's face changed. The old man looked at Gong Yu with a serious expression and said, "Isn't the beauty in His Royal Highness's heart the Dai girl from the Dai family?"
Gong Yu nodded hesitantly and said, "Since the Grand Tutor already knows, why do you want to mention the little girl again?"
"Confused!" The Tai Fu suddenly angrily reprimanded: "You are four years older than that generation of girls, isn't that ridiculous!"
"Your Majesty the Ninth Prince must not mention this matter to others again, it's better to stop thinking about it."
Gong Yu was puzzled and said: "Why is there a difference in age? An old man in his sixties can still marry a young girl of fourteen. The difference between me and girls of that generation is only four years old. How could the Taifu be so prejudiced?"
The Taifu was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected that the usually weak and inconspicuous little Highness would suddenly dare to retort so eloquently.
"His Royal Highness Ninth is still too young. The fact that the girl of that generation hasn't married for a long time is just because the generation's family is visiting His Majesty's favorite Highness who will be the future prince. Does His Highness Ninth think he can stand out from the crowd?"
"The old man is here to persuade His Highness Ninth, the little girl is extremely intelligent, if she becomes a married couple with His Highness Ninth, it must be so that His Highness Ninth can have a place in this court, I hope His Highness Ninth think twice."
The Taifu just turned around and left after saying that.
Gong Yu was very troubled in her heart, but the gate of the palace was already opened, and all the officials entered the palace together in the usual formation.
After a brief discussion of government affairs, the court fell into a moment of silence, and when Gong Yu was about to step forward, the chief tutor at the front suddenly called: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell Your Majesty."
"What's the matter with the master?"
"The little girl is almost of marriageable age. Recently, I have been begging my old man in the mansion to propose a marriage for her in front of His Majesty."
The emperor's face was slightly relaxed and he replied: "I don't know which kind of marriage the Tai Tuo wants to propose for his beloved daughter?"
"Nai..." Taifu was about to answer.
Gong Yu called anxiously: "Father!"
However, the acting prime minister on the other side suddenly called out loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."
Immediately no one noticed Dao Gongyu's voice, only His Royal Highness Liu said: "If there is something to do with Xiaojiu, let's talk about it some other day."
The atmosphere in this scene was inexplicably not right.
"The courtier's daughter is eighteen today, and she still hasn't promised anyone. Today, she also wants to ask His Majesty to grant a marriage."
Immediately, the officials whispered to each other and discussed, the emperor frowned slightly and said, "Which kind of relative does Aiqing want?"
Taifu eagerly called out: "Your Majesty, little girl..."
"Teacher!" The prime minister approached, and said oppressively: "The one I want is His Highness Ninth Highness, I hope His Majesty will marry you."
The emperor's eyes were puzzled, and he didn't make a sound, while the eyes of the court fell quite neatly on Gong Yu's side.
The gazes of His Royal Highness Six and several other Highnesses on the side also fell on Gong Yu's body quite conspicuously.
Gong Yu, who was carrying Rumang, couldn't help shivering. Could it be that they wanted to fight in groups?
The Taifu's aged voice sounded in the main hall: "Your Majesty's old minister's daughter also prefers His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Immediately, Gong Yu felt that there might be countless eyes behind her, and saw the prime minister's eyes like torches and said with a smile: "Couldn't the Tai Tuo be targeting my Dai family?"
"Prime Minister Dai was joking, the old man still has to take care of the marriages of his children, so it's not aimed at the Dai family."
The two most experienced people in the court confronted each other, and the courtiers who were discussing trivially at the side suddenly fell silent, as if a war was about to break out.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair broke the silence and said, "This is a rare occasion, Xiao Jiu is actually loved by the two daughters who love Qing."
"But it's best for Xiao Jiu to decide on the matter of marriage."
When Gong Yu heard this, she stepped forward in a hurry, thinking that if she didn't step forward, she was afraid that the emperor would make a random decision, and it would be terrible.
Although no matter which side you choose, Gong Yu may be targeted by one party.
"Father, my son, Xinyi, is on behalf of the girl, and I hope that the father will give you a marriage."
The emperor suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, but the Taifu taught you the scriptures, now you reject the Taifu's daughter, don't you care about the Taifu's face?"
Gong Yu only felt that the emperor might have left this difficult problem directly on himself.
"My son is grateful for the teachings of the Taifu over the years, and also thanks for the love of the Taifu's daughter."
There is no way, Gong Yu really can't say anything else.
The Taifu had a sullen old face, Gong Yu was really afraid that she would be beaten by the gang as soon as she left the palace gate later.
Although the Grand Tutor was displeased on the face, he still spoke very pleasantly: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince thinks twice before acting."
The acting prime minister said abruptly: "Since His Highness Ninth Prince has already made a decision, why not have His Majesty bestow a marriage on a good and auspicious day?"
"Okay, but I will discuss this matter with Xiao Jiu again."
The main hall seemed to have returned to its original tranquility, until the end of the morning dynasty, but Gong Yu was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study.
Gong Yu, who stayed alone in the hall, looked at the decorations in the hall, until the emperor walked in, and Gong Yu immediately calmed down again.
"Why did Xiao Jiu choose a substitute girl?" the emperor sat down, flipping through the memorial in his hand and said casually.
Gong Yu replied: "Xiao Jiu fell in love with Miss Dai at first sight, so she wanted to marry Miss Dai."
The emperor seemed to sigh, frowned and said: "I originally wanted to betroth the daughter of the Taifu to you."
"If you marry the Taifu, the Taifu will try his best to assist you. Even if you don't sit down, no one in the court will dare to touch you." After finishing speaking, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand and said: "This is the imperial decree of marriage, my lord." Ninth, if you are thinking about the overall situation, write down the name of Zhao Anyue, the daughter of the Grand Tutor."
"Father is not allowed?"
"It's not that it's not allowed, but it's not allowed." The emperor whispered with murderous intent in his eyes: "Xiao Jiu is honest and honest, too simple and kind-hearted is not a candidate for the emperor, but if you marry the daughter of the Dai family, they will definitely marry you." You push the throne, but you are not their opponent at all, the Palace Kingdom will be changed hands."
Gong Yu slowly looked at the blank space of the edict, shook her head and said, "Father, I can't write other people's names on this."
"Stupid, do you really think that Dai's daughter is devoted to you?" The emperor overturned the tea cup beside him and said, "The benevolence of a woman will only destroy the centuries-old foundation of the palace."
"Come here, His Highness Ninth Prince suddenly became seriously ill and stayed in this palace for treatment."
The guard outside the door responded, Gong Yu looked at the edict and asked: "What does the father want to do?"
"Xiao Jiu, if you don't want to write down this imperial decree and edict, then I will execute your servants and followers outside one by one." The emperor looked out the window indifferently.
Gong Yu looked sideways out of the window and saw that the servants, even the coachman, and the old housekeeper in the mansion were suppressed outside.
The guard whipped the servant in the front row with a long whip in his hand, the blood soaked the servant's clothes, but after five strokes the servant fell to the ground vomited blood.
As if it was just a scene, before Gong Yu had time to tell the truth from the fake, the guard with the whip in his hand walked towards the other one calmly.
The aged old butler seemed to be petrified and dared not make a sound, Gong Yu just regained his composure and called out: "Father, stop!"
"The old housekeeper can't stand such torture at all, if you want to punish, you should punish your minister." Gong Yuhou hurriedly called out in fear.
Holding the tea, the emperor looked at Gong Yu and said, "After writing the imperial edict, I will release your servants."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I can't."
"Yesterday, I told Ayan that if I got the edict today, I would show it to her immediately." Gong Yu shook her head and said to herself, "Father, I can't write down other people's names."
"This superfluous kindness will only cause you to lose more lives. Xiao Jiu will continue to stop, and the consequences will be disastrous." The emperor frowned.
"But this is human life, father." Gong Yu clenched his sleeves tightly in his hands and said, "Besides, I have already said in the hall that I want to marry the daughter of the Dai family. If I change it now, wouldn't it be backfired?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "The imperial decree is issued, the affairs of this hall are still in charge of me."
Gong Yuhong looked at the pen and ink placed in front of her eyes and said, "Father, it is better to give death to my son."
"Nonsense!" The emperor breathed heavily, reached out and patted the table heavily and said, "I will give you one last chance, do you want to write or not?"
"I don't write."
Immediately the whip rang outside again, Gong Yu looked at the bloody whip marks on the old butler who fell to the ground, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! I write..."
But the guard didn't stop, the emperor took a deep breath and got up and waved his hand, the guard just stopped.
Gong Yu only felt that the hand holding the pen was trembling, as if she didn't even know how to write.
When tears dripped down on the edict, Gong Yu didn't care about it, she just looked at the edict, and when she reached out to press her fingerprints, she looked sideways at the dying old butler outside.
The emperor seemed to realize that Gong Yu had given up resistance, so he breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him: "You stay in the palace, and I will deal with the rest..."
"Little Nine!"
When there was a bang, the guards on the side were also shocked, the face of His Highness Ninth Prince who fell beside the pillar was covered in blood, and he was already lifeless.
Even the always calm emperor panicked and called out, "Quick! Send the doctor!"
"Yes."
The emperor then set his sights on the imperial edict and fell into deep thought.
A group of officers and soldiers held the edict and posted it on the bulletin board, and the common people looked around and said:
"Hey, the Ninth Prince is not close to the Dai family girl, why is he engaged to the Taifu's daughter again?"
"Who knows, how can we find out what happened to the Tian family."
"Then this generation's girl is going to stay in her boudoir again."
"It's really strange! I heard that the girl from the Dai family is very close to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, so this is a temporary replacement for the daughter of the Taifu family."
A gentle breeze came from the courtyard, Dai Ruyan was holding the bright red gown in his hand, the woman beside him sighed: "This red gauze is very suitable for a wedding gown."
Dai Ruyan didn't say anything, but just looked at it carefully and said, "That's what I want."
"Well, the old lady will work day and night to make this wedding dress for the girl."
Biyu outside the pavilion trotted in all the way, approached the pavilion and said calmly, "Miss, the imperial edict has been issued."
The woman left quietly, Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Biyu, but seeing the empty space behind Biyu, she asked, "Then why didn't she come?"
"Miss..." Biyu pursed her lips, and said timidly, "The imperial edict issued on marriage grants that His Royal Highness is the same... the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Zhao Anyue."
Dai Ruyan looked at Biyu in panic and asked, "Where is she...?"
Biyu stepped back a few steps and responded: "I heard that she is still in the palace, but has not come out."
"Why don't you just go and inquire about it?"
The voice fell, and the silent courtyard was completely quiet. Suddenly, the teacup next to the low table and the incense burner fell to the ground, and the spices of the incense burner were scattered all over the ground. Burning like scattered sparks.
Biyu, who retreated to the side, looked in panic at Dai Ruyan who was sitting there with an extremely indifferent expression, and dared not speak out at all.
"Where is she...?" Dai Ruyan whispered in a dull voice.
Seeing Dai Ruyan's appearance, Biyu responded in fear: "I don't know, the spies who sent people into the palace haven't responded yet."
Dai Ruyan got up suddenly and walked out, Biyu held up the heel of the shoe and said: "Miss, don't worry, put on the shoes first, if you want to enter the palace, this servant will prepare the carriage."
"I want to prepare the horse." Dai Ruyan stopped, looking at the courtyard with a numb expression.
Biyu hurriedly put down her shoes and replied, "Okay, the servant girl will go right away."
The horses passed through the streets of the capital quickly, and Biyu could hardly keep up with Dai Ruyan in front, but when she saw the corner, Dai Ruyan stopped suddenly.
Instead, he rode his horse towards the crowded place, and the people who had surrounded the bulletin wall retreated one after another.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand and tore down the edict, his eyes fell on the words on it, his originally indifferent and flustered eyes were full of injuries.
The pale fingertips clenched the imperial edict, as if they wanted to tear through the lies on it, but their eyes were still fixed on the writing on it, as if they couldn't believe it, but in a moment the horse turned around and went straight to the palace.
Entering the palace, Dai Ruyan was stopped, Prime Minister Dai frowned and said, "What have you become now?"
Miss Dai looked at Prime Minister Dai in a dazed manner, reached out and pulled out the sword of the guard beside her and said softly, "Father, you backtracked on what you promised."
"It's the emperor!" The prime minister backed away and said, "What the hall said was good, the emperor took him to the imperial study, and immediately issued this imperial decree."
"Where's Gong Yuren?" Dai Ruyan asked, throwing the saber in his hand aside.
Dai Cheng seemed relieved: "Could it be that Yan'er can't find that little boy?"
Dai Ruyan laughed softly, turned around and left the palace road, a palace maid suddenly said: "Miss Dai, Empress Empress, please go over."
"it is good."
Biyu, who had been following closely behind her, felt a strong murderous aura emanating from her young lady, and couldn't help guessing that she wanted to kill that heartless little Highness?
The palace attendants rushed into the palace, the queen was in front of the closed gate, Dai Ruyan approached quickly and asked, "Where is she?"
The queen looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and said with a smile: "Ayan came in time, but I'm afraid she won't be able to wake up for the time being."
Dai Ruyan was keenly aware of something wrong with the queen and asked, "Do you know her identity?"
"Yes." The Queen's eyes turned slightly, "I'm afraid this is the reason why Ayan chose her."
"What about her?"
"I asked someone to bandage her wound, but the wound was too deep, and this child is too stupid to force her to die."
Dai Ruyan looked at the queen in surprise, and he couldn't help but tremblingly asked, "Where did she hurt?"
"She's in the hall, don't you know if you go and have a look?"
The queen quietly watched Dai Ruyan push open the closed palace door, and smiled softly, the accompanying maid said in a low voice, "Why didn't the queen take this opportunity to attack?"
"Once this person has a weakness, you just need to grasp her weakness, she will be finished sooner or later." The queen turned around and stretched out her hand to trim the sideburns, and said aftertaste: "It's just that I can't think of it, Ah Yan would Moved, she is really crazy."
The court lady looked at the queen in puzzlement and asked, "The queen should be on guard against some maids."
"Of course, I'm not like the group of His Highnesses who were messed around by her."
The fervent sun was setting outside the palace, at this moment Gong Yu had a headache and almost felt that she might die.
Originally, I just wanted to knock down the pillar and faint, but I couldn't control the force, and my head really broke a big hole.
Perhaps it was because of excessive blood loss that Gong Yu couldn't move at all, and her whole head was dizzy.
There is no way for someone to inform Dai Ruyan that the edict is fake, maybe Dai Ruyan is so angry now that he will never talk to him again.
The more Gong Yu thought about it, the more sad she became, the corners of her eyes turned red inexplicably, and she stretched out her hands to force herself up.
But in front of him, Hei Gongyu was too busy to toss about anymore, for fear that if he left behind some concussion sequelae or something, it would be troublesome.
Impatient and irritable, the injury on her forehead also hurt more and more, Gong Yu closed her eyes and couldn't help crying out in pain.
"Little Nine."
Dai Ruyan's voice suddenly sounded next to her ear, Gong Yu slowly opened her eyes, unexpectedly it was really Dai Ruyan beside her.
But now Gong Yu, who is not good at all, dare not move, but Dai Ruyan is very calm.
Gong Yu guessed that maybe Dai Ruyan didn't see the edict, so she decided to talk to her about it.
"Ayan..." When she spoke, Gong Yu knew what her voice had become, and not only herself was taken aback.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu quietly, raised her hand carefully to stop beside Gong Yu's cheek, but her fingertips did not dare to touch Gong Yu's wound, and said hesitantly:
"I just saw the wedding dress in the courtyard. The red gauze is very beautiful, and the tailor also said that the wedding dress is very beautiful."
Gong Yu vaguely saw that Dai Ruyan's palm seemed to be red and swollen, but she couldn't see it clearly, so she blinked and calmed down the atmosphere and said, "I also want...to wear a wedding dress."
"Nonsense." Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's brows with his fingertips and raised the corners of his mouth, "Xiao Jiu has to pretend to be the bridegroom."
"Okay." Gong Yu smiled palely, and couldn't help answering with reddened eyes: "Then I must be the most handsome groom in the capital."
It's rare that Dai Ruyan didn't refute
With a smile in his eyes, Dai Ruyan gently rubbed Gong Yu's lips with his fingertips and said in a low voice: "I originally found a suitable concubine for Xiao Jiu."
"Ah? Are you really looking for Ayan?" Gong Yu stretched out his hand to hold Dai Ruyan's hand and asked.
"Yes." Dai Ruyan responded with playful blinking of her eyes, her eyes fell on Gong Yu's blushing cheeks and said: "This will also save Xiao Jiu from being surrounded by those women. There are also officials in the hall waiting for the opportunity to give Xiaojiu a concubine's room."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I don't want any concubines."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's fingertips and responded in a low voice: "But I haven't made any arrangements for a long time."
"So Ayan is also reluctant to part with me, right?" Gong Yu frowned and said, "In other words, Ayan still loves me."
"Reluctance?" Dai Ruyan shook his head and said again: "It's not so much that I feel distressed, it's better to say that I don't like her being around Xiaojiu."
"Even the ones I personally pick, I don't like."
Gong Yu only felt that today's Dai Ruyan might have honey in his mouth, and said such sweet love words in a serious manner.
"Isn't Ah Yan being too domineering?" Gong Yu blinked at Dai Ruyan and said.
"Overbearing?" Dai Ruyan frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Jiu doesn't like it?"
Gong Yu shook her head and responded with a smile: "No, it's just that A Yan really doesn't look like a person with such a strong desire to control."
Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's brow with the other hand, as if thinking deeply:
"I've never felt this way before. It seems that after meeting Xiao Jiu, this strong idea seems to become more and more obvious."
"Then what should I do?" Gong Yu lay on her back in Dai Ruyan's arms and asked, "Isn't it very dangerous for me to be like this now?"
"Where is the danger?" Dai Ruyan asked puzzled.
Gong Yu sat up from Dai Ruyan's arms, and said seriously: "Then if one day I am disobedient, or if Ayan doesn't want me to do something, I will do what I will, what will happen to Ayan?"
Dai Ruyan looked into Gong Yu's eyes, seemed to think for a moment and replied: "That depends on what Xiao Jiu wants to do."
"What do you dislike about me the most?"
"Injury." Dai Ruyan's eyes dimly responded.
Gong Yu listened to these two words with some confusion and said, "I won't hurt Ayan."
"Then what is Xiaojiu worried about?"
"I'm just thinking that sometimes Ayan seems to be a different person suddenly." Gong Yu stretched out his hand and lightly shook Dai Ruhangluo's hand and said, "And what does Ayan mean by the injury?"
"Injury is injury." Dai Ruyan said with cold eyes, "Is there anything else?"
Apparently Dai Ruyan has become sensitive to such topics, Gong Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said instead: "Okay."
Dai Ruyan seemed to be recovering, stretched his arms and gently held Gong Yu's cheek and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu's liking won't hurt, right?"
"Ah."
"Then I will never hurt Xiao Jiu, so this is liking, right?"
In fact, when Gong Yu heard this, she was also a little confused, and nodded in a daze.
Dai Ruyan seemed to confirm something, looking at Gong Yu expectantly in his eyes.
Gong Yu asked hesitantly: "What is Ayan thinking?"
"I'm thinking about Xiaojiu's liking." Dai Ruyan paused and said, "I'm also thinking about my liking."
"Does this have any special meaning?"
"of course."
Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's cheek affectionately, Gong Yu's ignorant face was hidden in the deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised and said: "I think Xiao Jiu's liking is very simple, mine is much more complicated, but I Still won't hurt Xiao Jiu."
Gong Yu was confused and said: "But every time Ayan kisses me, she doesn't blush at all."
"Why are you blushing?"
amount……
"Does Ayan have a fast heartbeat?" Gong Yu asked in a different way.
Dai Ruyan seemed to think about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "I will kiss if I want to, so is there any other reaction?"
Although there is nothing wrong with what he said, judging from Dai Ruyan's calm demeanor, he probably did it because he was thinking about it.
Gong Yu looked at it very seriously, and said with annoyance: "It's not that there must be other reactions, but the heartbeat is always needed."
"What if it doesn't?"
"Normally speaking, if a person says she likes her but she doesn't feel moved, she is a scumbag to some extent."
"Scum girl... what is it?"
Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan's slightly unclear eyes and explained: "He is a heartless man!"
Dai Ruyan smiled suddenly, and gently kissed Gong Yu's forehead with his lips, and said, "What is Xiao Jiu worried about?"
"If Xiao Jiu is worried, why not go to propose marriage on behalf of the family now?"
"Marriage proposal?" Gong Yu was a little dazed when he heard this topic.
"Girls should be faithful to each other. If I marry Xiao Jiu, I will be Xiao Jiu's wife. This is not a heartless person."
"But Ayan doesn't regret it?"
"Why should I regret it?" Dai Ruyan asked Gong Yu's brow lightly with his thumb.
Originally, Gong Yu was still struggling with how to explain the special meaning of liking to Ruyan, but in the blink of an eye, Ruyan suddenly wanted to propose marriage, and the topic changed a little quickly.
Gong Yu slightly opened the distance, straightened the quilt, and sat in front of Dai Ruyan, looking at Dai Ruyan.
Today's Dai Ruyan is wearing a light blue dress with flowers embroidered on it, her face is not heavy in makeup, the color of rouge is light and elegant, and her eyebrows are gentle and moving.
All this is normal, Gong Yu looked at it again and again, pursed her lips and asked: "Marriage is a big deal. A few days ago, Ayan reassured me that I was not in a hurry. Why did you suddenly ask me to come to propose marriage?"
Dai Ruyan gently held Gong Yu's hand with her slender fingertips and said, "If Xiao Jiu doesn't want to marry a wife, she will take a concubine to hide her identity. Could it be that Xiao Jiu would rather take a concubine than marry me?"
"Nothing." Gong Yu hurriedly shook her head and said, "If you marry, you must marry."
"It's just that Ayan said it so suddenly, I just feel that everything happened too fast, and I feel a little dizzy in my head."
"Stupid." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's hand tightly and said, "I didn't think about it before, but I just remembered it suddenly."
"I thought about staying with you around me, watching the house for you, and saving you from being teased so stupidly that you don't know."
amount……
Gong Yu inexplicably felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring down, and asked hesitantly: "A Yan married me, is it just to take good care of me?"
"Of course." Dai Ruyan looked firmly at Gong Yu and said, "Xiao Jiunian is getting older, but all the children of the royal family are easy to be targeted by others. Gossip in the capital is trivial, let alone..."
"What's more?"
"The Taifu's daughter, Zhao Anyue, has been making trouble in the mansion recently, and she wants the Taifu to go to the court to ask you to marry me." Dai Ruyan paused and said, "If Xiao Jiu still doesn't make a statement, it may be an imperial decree to grant marriage. They're all coming down."
Gong Yu listened to Dai Ruyan's words with a dazed expression, and said mischievously: "Sure enough, Ayan still cares about me."
Dai Ruyan pinched Gong Yu's face helplessly and said, "If you really don't care about Xiao Jiu, why am I here now?"
"But Ayan, you have to trust me, I have nothing to do with that Zhao Anyue, she insists on relying on me."
Dai Ruyan raised her hand and lightly scratched Gong Yu's nose and said softly, "Silly Xiaojiu, of course I believe you."
"But you must perform in court tomorrow."
"But I haven't asked the old housekeeper to prepare the things I want to propose marriage, and if I get married, I will have to have people repair the house, and I still have to make up for it." Gong Yu frowned and said.
"What's Xiao Jiu panicking?" Dai Ruyan took Gong Yu's hand and said, "It's just a marriage proposal, marriage is still far away."
"Really?" Gong Yu looked at Dai Ruyan and asked.
Dai Ruyan nodded and said: "Ordinary etiquette is cumbersome, let alone the royal family, it is even more red tape, and every detail must be ordered months in advance."
Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Dai Ruyan's hand and said, "Ayan, have you really figured it out? Once you get married, you can't regret it."
Even though Dai Ruyan may not understand emotions, she still has reason. Gong Yu must have an accurate answer to this matter.
"Regret?" Dai Ruyan raised his hand to hold Gong Yu's cheek, looked at Gong Yu with frivolous and charming eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid Xiao Jiu will regret it."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I won't regret it."
"But it's useless even if Xiaojiu regrets it." Dai Ruyan smiled lightly and said, "At that time, we were already in the marriage book and recorded in the royal family book."
"Unless Xiao Jiu wants to divorce me, others have no right to intervene."
"I won't divorce Ayan." Gong Yu held Dai Ruyan's hand and asked, "It's just that Ayan is not afraid of the consequences if the two women get married and are discovered by others?"
"afraid?"
Dai Ruyan smiled lightly, without any hesitation in his eyes, he lowered his head and kissed the back of Gong Yu's hand, "Why should I be afraid?"
"As long as Xiao Jiu is obediently by my side, nothing else is worth mentioning."
Gong Yu only felt that Dai Ruyan's small gesture made her blush and her heart beat, she turned her head to look at the pool on the side, the sun was very strong outside.
But Dai Ruyan didn't feel the heat at all, he held Gong Yu's hand tightly and said softly, "Why don't you talk?"
"No...my heart was beating so hard that I didn't slow down."
"It's not something to worry about, what is the heart beating so fast?" Dai Ruyan frowned and stretched out his hand towards Gong Yu's wrist.
Gong Yu thought that Dai Ruyan was taking the pulse, so she asked, "Ah Yan knows medicine?"
"will not."
"I just want to know how fast Xiao Jiu's heart beats."
Gong Yu, who was asked such a question, blushed and responded softly: "A Yan still thinks I'm stupid, obviously A Yan is stupid."
"Where did you say that?"
Dai Ruyan's fingertips were still resting lightly on Gong Yu's wrist, Gong Yu pursed her lips and looked at Dai Ruyan, who was calm and breezy, and couldn't help feeling annoyed that she was flustered by Dai Ruyan's teasing, but she herself followed Like a normal person.
Gong Yu withdrew his hand from Dai Ruyan's fingertips and said: "Ayan doesn't know how to like, doesn't know how to be jealous, and doesn't even know how to be moved, the whole thing is like a wooden man."
"I'm not a wooden person." Dai Ruyan held Gong Yu's wrist lightly in his palm, and responded softly and delicately: "I love Xiao Jiu, worry about Xiao Jiu, and care about Xiao Jiu, isn't that enough?"
"Maybe I don't understand what Xiao Jiu said, but we still have a long life in the future, wouldn't it be good to take it slowly?"
Dai Ruyan spoke very slowly, staring at Gong Yu with tenderness in his eyes, delicately stroking Gong Yu's arm with his fingertips, as if his breathing and heartbeat were magnified in this quiet pavilion.
The sweltering wind rushed into the pavilion, gently shaking the green gauze, and even Gong Yu's eyes, Dai Ruyan's eyes seemed to be glowing softly, and Gong Yu fell into these gentle eyes if he didn't pay attention. I can't extricate myself from my eyes.
But Gong Yu understands that there is something wrong with Dai Ruyan's eyes, her eyes are full of tenderness but calm and rational.
Gong Yu blinked and raised her hand to lightly smooth the broken hair on Ruyan's cheek and said in a low voice, "I don't want to be protected by Ayan all the time, one day I will be able to protect Ayan too."
"I know." Dai Ruyan smiled and said, "But I like the feeling of protecting Xiao Jiu."
"why?"
"Because having Xiao Jiu in my arms will make me stronger."
Dai Ruyan's eyes met Gong Yu's and smiled gently, as if Gong Yu saw another Dai Ruyan completely different from her eyes in those eyes.
Because Dai Ruyan in her eyes is more like a conspirator, her eyes are full of confidence, but with a majesty that makes people have to surrender.
This feeling made Gong Yu inexplicably a little scared, Gong Yu dodged Dai Ruyan's gaze and said, "Powerful, is it really so attractive?"
"Only by being strong can you protect yourself, and you can even easily get what you want. It's like the supreme power. Who doesn't want it?"
"I don't want power." Gong Yu turned his head to look at Dai Ruyan and said, "If possible, I still hope that it would be better to leave the capital with Ayan."
Gong Yu subconsciously felt that the capital seemed to be slowly changing Dai Ruyan, as if making Dai Ruyan more powerful.
Dai Ruyan did not refute, and followed Gong Yu's words: "Xiao Jiu is talking in his sleep, we were still discussing the matter of asking you to propose marriage in court tomorrow."
"Is this a dream?"
Gong Yu asked hesitantly: "Power and me, which side will Ayan choose more?"
"Of course I choose Xiao Jiu, what kind of stupid question is this?"
Dai Ruyan didn't hesitate, and there was no falsehood in her eyes, Gong Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, comforting herself that Dai Ruyan would never be the kind of person who is greedy for profit.
She lives in seclusion on weekdays, except for some banquets that she is required to attend, most of the rest she doesn't like to be lively.
And when it comes to costumes and jewelry, she is mostly unremarkable, even the precious teacup that the second princess broke that day, Gong Yu went to find it later, only then did she know that it was a peerless treasure.
But when the teacup was broken, Dai Ruyan said a few words just as a joke, without any intention of taking it to heart.
Such a person who lives indifferently doesn't look like he attaches great importance to prosperity and wealth.
Gong Yu thought for a while and then went back to the original point. When she looked closely at Dai Ruyan's eyes, she seemed to be no different from the usual Dai Ruyan.
On the contrary, Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu in bewilderment and said, "Why does Xiao Jiu stare at me non-stop?"
"No... I just want to see Ayan's eyes."
"Why don't you praise the rouge I put on today?" Dai Ruyan said with a smile.
Gong Yu touched her nose guiltily and said: "Rouge is naturally beautiful, but even if Ayan doesn't wear rouge, it is still very beautiful."
"You will be poor-mouthed." Dai Ruyan tapped Gong Yu's forehead with her fingertips, turned to look at Gong Yu's curled wrist and sighed: "This swollen bag needs to be sprayed with medicine every day, otherwise it will always be It can’t be removed, I’m afraid it will leave a scar.”
"No way?" Gong Yu looked at her arms and whispered, "That woman in red is really vicious."
"Xiao Jiu should also know that not all women protect you like I do."
Gong Yu nodded in response: "That's right, Ayan is the person who treats me best in this world."
Dai Ruyan poked Gong Yu's cheek with her fingertips and said softly, "I know how to be good."
"I'm only being good to A Yan."
The sun was scorching outside the pavilion, and even the red lacquered wooden boards inside the pavilion were very reflective. Gong Yu quietly looked at Dai Ruyan in front of her and couldn't help thinking, even if Dai Ruyan's heart is really a stone, as long as she said it would so-so.
Anyway, the days are still long, and one day Dai Ruyan will understand, because Dai Ruyan likes her in the palm of Gongyu's palm, even if this kind of liking is only based on Dai Ruyan's rational thinking.
In the early morning of the next day, Gong Yu straightened her robes and rode to court. For the first time in her life, she had to speak in the hall, just to propose marriage.
Even Gong Yu, who stayed up most of the night, wrote the speech with full of emotion.
But the gate of the palace will not be opened even if you arrive early, and even when Gong Yu comes, except for a few old ministers, the younger ministers probably have just left the palace.
Gong Yu secretly took out the manuscript and read it silently. Suddenly, the old lady Fu appeared out of nowhere, and Gong Yu was so scared that she almost dropped the manuscript.
"Morning Taifu!" Gong Yu smiled and hid the manuscript in her sleeve pocket.
Ever since Dai Ruyan learned yesterday that the grand tutor is going to marry her today, Gong Yu can't wait to get as far away from the tutor as possible.
"Life is really fast now." Taifu stroked his beard and sighed: "His Ninth Prince was only a child back then, but now he is of marriageable age."
Fortunately, he is the elder of the two dynasties, this is really a very direct point to the theme.
Gong Yu stepped back and said, "The people of Gong Guo are still in dire straits, so there is no rush for this matter."
The Taifu smiled and said: "The matter in the court will never be resolved, but His Royal Highness has reached the age of marriage, and there is a little girl in the old man's house. Although she is a bit playful, she is also knowledgeable and courteous."
Knowledgeable and polite?
If it weren't for the fact that this Taifu is also Gong Yu's teacher, otherwise Gong Yu would really want to roll up his sleeves and let him see that the teeth marks bitten by Zhishu Dali's youngest daughter have not disappeared yet.
"Teacher has a heart, but he already has a beautiful woman in his heart, so he doesn't think about other things."
Before the words finished, the Taifu's face changed. The old man looked at Gong Yu with a serious expression and said, "Isn't the beauty in His Royal Highness's heart the Dai girl from the Dai family?"
Gong Yu nodded hesitantly and said, "Since the Grand Tutor already knows, why do you want to mention the little girl again?"
"Confused!" The Tai Fu suddenly angrily reprimanded: "You are four years older than that generation of girls, isn't that ridiculous!"
"Your Majesty the Ninth Prince must not mention this matter to others again, it's better to stop thinking about it."
Gong Yu was puzzled and said: "Why is there a difference in age? An old man in his sixties can still marry a young girl of fourteen. The difference between me and girls of that generation is only four years old. How could the Taifu be so prejudiced?"
The Taifu was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected that the usually weak and inconspicuous little Highness would suddenly dare to retort so eloquently.
"His Royal Highness Ninth is still too young. The fact that the girl of that generation hasn't married for a long time is just because the generation's family is visiting His Majesty's favorite Highness who will be the future prince. Does His Highness Ninth think he can stand out from the crowd?"
"The old man is here to persuade His Highness Ninth, the little girl is extremely intelligent, if she becomes a married couple with His Highness Ninth, it must be so that His Highness Ninth can have a place in this court, I hope His Highness Ninth think twice."
The Taifu just turned around and left after saying that.
Gong Yu was very troubled in her heart, but the gate of the palace was already opened, and all the officials entered the palace together in the usual formation.
After a brief discussion of government affairs, the court fell into a moment of silence, and when Gong Yu was about to step forward, the chief tutor at the front suddenly called: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell Your Majesty."
"What's the matter with the master?"
"The little girl is almost of marriageable age. Recently, I have been begging my old man in the mansion to propose a marriage for her in front of His Majesty."
The emperor's face was slightly relaxed and he replied: "I don't know which kind of marriage the Tai Tuo wants to propose for his beloved daughter?"
"Nai..." Taifu was about to answer.
Gong Yu called anxiously: "Father!"
However, the acting prime minister on the other side suddenly called out loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."
Immediately no one noticed Dao Gongyu's voice, only His Royal Highness Liu said: "If there is something to do with Xiaojiu, let's talk about it some other day."
The atmosphere in this scene was inexplicably not right.
"The courtier's daughter is eighteen today, and she still hasn't promised anyone. Today, she also wants to ask His Majesty to grant a marriage."
Immediately, the officials whispered to each other and discussed, the emperor frowned slightly and said, "Which kind of relative does Aiqing want?"
Taifu eagerly called out: "Your Majesty, little girl..."
"Teacher!" The prime minister approached, and said oppressively: "The one I want is His Highness Ninth Highness, I hope His Majesty will marry you."
The emperor's eyes were puzzled, and he didn't make a sound, while the eyes of the court fell quite neatly on Gong Yu's side.
The gazes of His Royal Highness Six and several other Highnesses on the side also fell on Gong Yu's body quite conspicuously.
Gong Yu, who was carrying Rumang, couldn't help shivering. Could it be that they wanted to fight in groups?
The Taifu's aged voice sounded in the main hall: "Your Majesty's old minister's daughter also prefers His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Immediately, Gong Yu felt that there might be countless eyes behind her, and saw the prime minister's eyes like torches and said with a smile: "Couldn't the Tai Tuo be targeting my Dai family?"
"Prime Minister Dai was joking, the old man still has to take care of the marriages of his children, so it's not aimed at the Dai family."
The two most experienced people in the court confronted each other, and the courtiers who were discussing trivially at the side suddenly fell silent, as if a war was about to break out.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair broke the silence and said, "This is a rare occasion, Xiao Jiu is actually loved by the two daughters who love Qing."
"But it's best for Xiao Jiu to decide on the matter of marriage."
When Gong Yu heard this, she stepped forward in a hurry, thinking that if she didn't step forward, she was afraid that the emperor would make a random decision, and it would be terrible.
Although no matter which side you choose, Gong Yu may be targeted by one party.
"Father, my son, Xinyi, is on behalf of the girl, and I hope that the father will give you a marriage."
The emperor suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, but the Taifu taught you the scriptures, now you reject the Taifu's daughter, don't you care about the Taifu's face?"
Gong Yu only felt that the emperor might have left this difficult problem directly on himself.
"My son is grateful for the teachings of the Taifu over the years, and also thanks for the love of the Taifu's daughter."
There is no way, Gong Yu really can't say anything else.
The Taifu had a sullen old face, Gong Yu was really afraid that she would be beaten by the gang as soon as she left the palace gate later.
Although the Grand Tutor was displeased on the face, he still spoke very pleasantly: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince thinks twice before acting."
The acting prime minister said abruptly: "Since His Highness Ninth Prince has already made a decision, why not have His Majesty bestow a marriage on a good and auspicious day?"
"Okay, but I will discuss this matter with Xiao Jiu again."
The main hall seemed to have returned to its original tranquility, until the end of the morning dynasty, but Gong Yu was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study.
Gong Yu, who stayed alone in the hall, looked at the decorations in the hall, until the emperor walked in, and Gong Yu immediately calmed down again.
"Why did Xiao Jiu choose a substitute girl?" the emperor sat down, flipping through the memorial in his hand and said casually.
Gong Yu replied: "Xiao Jiu fell in love with Miss Dai at first sight, so she wanted to marry Miss Dai."
The emperor seemed to sigh, frowned and said: "I originally wanted to betroth the daughter of the Taifu to you."
"If you marry the Taifu, the Taifu will try his best to assist you. Even if you don't sit down, no one in the court will dare to touch you." After finishing speaking, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand and said: "This is the imperial decree of marriage, my lord." Ninth, if you are thinking about the overall situation, write down the name of Zhao Anyue, the daughter of the Grand Tutor."
"Father is not allowed?"
"It's not that it's not allowed, but it's not allowed." The emperor whispered with murderous intent in his eyes: "Xiao Jiu is honest and honest, too simple and kind-hearted is not a candidate for the emperor, but if you marry the daughter of the Dai family, they will definitely marry you." You push the throne, but you are not their opponent at all, the Palace Kingdom will be changed hands."
Gong Yu slowly looked at the blank space of the edict, shook her head and said, "Father, I can't write other people's names on this."
"Stupid, do you really think that Dai's daughter is devoted to you?" The emperor overturned the tea cup beside him and said, "The benevolence of a woman will only destroy the centuries-old foundation of the palace."
"Come here, His Highness Ninth Prince suddenly became seriously ill and stayed in this palace for treatment."
The guard outside the door responded, Gong Yu looked at the edict and asked: "What does the father want to do?"
"Xiao Jiu, if you don't want to write down this imperial decree and edict, then I will execute your servants and followers outside one by one." The emperor looked out the window indifferently.
Gong Yu looked sideways out of the window and saw that the servants, even the coachman, and the old housekeeper in the mansion were suppressed outside.
The guard whipped the servant in the front row with a long whip in his hand, the blood soaked the servant's clothes, but after five strokes the servant fell to the ground vomited blood.
As if it was just a scene, before Gong Yu had time to tell the truth from the fake, the guard with the whip in his hand walked towards the other one calmly.
The aged old butler seemed to be petrified and dared not make a sound, Gong Yu just regained his composure and called out: "Father, stop!"
"The old housekeeper can't stand such torture at all, if you want to punish, you should punish your minister." Gong Yuhou hurriedly called out in fear.
Holding the tea, the emperor looked at Gong Yu and said, "After writing the imperial edict, I will release your servants."
Gong Yu shook her head and said, "I can't."
"Yesterday, I told Ayan that if I got the edict today, I would show it to her immediately." Gong Yu shook her head and said to herself, "Father, I can't write down other people's names."
"This superfluous kindness will only cause you to lose more lives. Xiao Jiu will continue to stop, and the consequences will be disastrous." The emperor frowned.
"But this is human life, father." Gong Yu clenched his sleeves tightly in his hands and said, "Besides, I have already said in the hall that I want to marry the daughter of the Dai family. If I change it now, wouldn't it be backfired?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "The imperial decree is issued, the affairs of this hall are still in charge of me."
Gong Yuhong looked at the pen and ink placed in front of her eyes and said, "Father, it is better to give death to my son."
"Nonsense!" The emperor breathed heavily, reached out and patted the table heavily and said, "I will give you one last chance, do you want to write or not?"
"I don't write."
Immediately the whip rang outside again, Gong Yu looked at the bloody whip marks on the old butler who fell to the ground, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! I write..."
But the guard didn't stop, the emperor took a deep breath and got up and waved his hand, the guard just stopped.
Gong Yu only felt that the hand holding the pen was trembling, as if she didn't even know how to write.
When tears dripped down on the edict, Gong Yu didn't care about it, she just looked at the edict, and when she reached out to press her fingerprints, she looked sideways at the dying old butler outside.
The emperor seemed to realize that Gong Yu had given up resistance, so he breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him: "You stay in the palace, and I will deal with the rest..."
"Little Nine!"
When there was a bang, the guards on the side were also shocked, the face of His Highness Ninth Prince who fell beside the pillar was covered in blood, and he was already lifeless.
Even the always calm emperor panicked and called out, "Quick! Send the doctor!"
"Yes."
The emperor then set his sights on the imperial edict and fell into deep thought.
A group of officers and soldiers held the edict and posted it on the bulletin board, and the common people looked around and said:
"Hey, the Ninth Prince is not close to the Dai family girl, why is he engaged to the Taifu's daughter again?"
"Who knows, how can we find out what happened to the Tian family."
"Then this generation's girl is going to stay in her boudoir again."
"It's really strange! I heard that the girl from the Dai family is very close to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, so this is a temporary replacement for the daughter of the Taifu family."
A gentle breeze came from the courtyard, Dai Ruyan was holding the bright red gown in his hand, the woman beside him sighed: "This red gauze is very suitable for a wedding gown."
Dai Ruyan didn't say anything, but just looked at it carefully and said, "That's what I want."
"Well, the old lady will work day and night to make this wedding dress for the girl."
Biyu outside the pavilion trotted in all the way, approached the pavilion and said calmly, "Miss, the imperial edict has been issued."
The woman left quietly, Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Biyu, but seeing the empty space behind Biyu, she asked, "Then why didn't she come?"
"Miss..." Biyu pursed her lips, and said timidly, "The imperial edict issued on marriage grants that His Royal Highness is the same... the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Zhao Anyue."
Dai Ruyan looked at Biyu in panic and asked, "Where is she...?"
Biyu stepped back a few steps and responded: "I heard that she is still in the palace, but has not come out."
"Why don't you just go and inquire about it?"
The voice fell, and the silent courtyard was completely quiet. Suddenly, the teacup next to the low table and the incense burner fell to the ground, and the spices of the incense burner were scattered all over the ground. Burning like scattered sparks.
Biyu, who retreated to the side, looked in panic at Dai Ruyan who was sitting there with an extremely indifferent expression, and dared not speak out at all.
"Where is she...?" Dai Ruyan whispered in a dull voice.
Seeing Dai Ruyan's appearance, Biyu responded in fear: "I don't know, the spies who sent people into the palace haven't responded yet."
Dai Ruyan got up suddenly and walked out, Biyu held up the heel of the shoe and said: "Miss, don't worry, put on the shoes first, if you want to enter the palace, this servant will prepare the carriage."
"I want to prepare the horse." Dai Ruyan stopped, looking at the courtyard with a numb expression.
Biyu hurriedly put down her shoes and replied, "Okay, the servant girl will go right away."
The horses passed through the streets of the capital quickly, and Biyu could hardly keep up with Dai Ruyan in front, but when she saw the corner, Dai Ruyan stopped suddenly.
Instead, he rode his horse towards the crowded place, and the people who had surrounded the bulletin wall retreated one after another.
Dai Ruyan stretched out his hand and tore down the edict, his eyes fell on the words on it, his originally indifferent and flustered eyes were full of injuries.
The pale fingertips clenched the imperial edict, as if they wanted to tear through the lies on it, but their eyes were still fixed on the writing on it, as if they couldn't believe it, but in a moment the horse turned around and went straight to the palace.
Entering the palace, Dai Ruyan was stopped, Prime Minister Dai frowned and said, "What have you become now?"
Miss Dai looked at Prime Minister Dai in a dazed manner, reached out and pulled out the sword of the guard beside her and said softly, "Father, you backtracked on what you promised."
"It's the emperor!" The prime minister backed away and said, "What the hall said was good, the emperor took him to the imperial study, and immediately issued this imperial decree."
"Where's Gong Yuren?" Dai Ruyan asked, throwing the saber in his hand aside.
Dai Cheng seemed relieved: "Could it be that Yan'er can't find that little boy?"
Dai Ruyan laughed softly, turned around and left the palace road, a palace maid suddenly said: "Miss Dai, Empress Empress, please go over."
"it is good."
Biyu, who had been following closely behind her, felt a strong murderous aura emanating from her young lady, and couldn't help guessing that she wanted to kill that heartless little Highness?
The palace attendants rushed into the palace, the queen was in front of the closed gate, Dai Ruyan approached quickly and asked, "Where is she?"
The queen looked sideways at Dai Ruyan and said with a smile: "Ayan came in time, but I'm afraid she won't be able to wake up for the time being."
Dai Ruyan was keenly aware of something wrong with the queen and asked, "Do you know her identity?"
"Yes." The Queen's eyes turned slightly, "I'm afraid this is the reason why Ayan chose her."
"What about her?"
"I asked someone to bandage her wound, but the wound was too deep, and this child is too stupid to force her to die."
Dai Ruyan looked at the queen in surprise, and he couldn't help but tremblingly asked, "Where did she hurt?"
"She's in the hall, don't you know if you go and have a look?"
The queen quietly watched Dai Ruyan push open the closed palace door, and smiled softly, the accompanying maid said in a low voice, "Why didn't the queen take this opportunity to attack?"
"Once this person has a weakness, you just need to grasp her weakness, she will be finished sooner or later." The queen turned around and stretched out her hand to trim the sideburns, and said aftertaste: "It's just that I can't think of it, Ah Yan would Moved, she is really crazy."
The court lady looked at the queen in puzzlement and asked, "The queen should be on guard against some maids."
"Of course, I'm not like the group of His Highnesses who were messed around by her."
The fervent sun was setting outside the palace, at this moment Gong Yu had a headache and almost felt that she might die.
Originally, I just wanted to knock down the pillar and faint, but I couldn't control the force, and my head really broke a big hole.
Perhaps it was because of excessive blood loss that Gong Yu couldn't move at all, and her whole head was dizzy.
There is no way for someone to inform Dai Ruyan that the edict is fake, maybe Dai Ruyan is so angry now that he will never talk to him again.
The more Gong Yu thought about it, the more sad she became, the corners of her eyes turned red inexplicably, and she stretched out her hands to force herself up.
But in front of him, Hei Gongyu was too busy to toss about anymore, for fear that if he left behind some concussion sequelae or something, it would be troublesome.
Impatient and irritable, the injury on her forehead also hurt more and more, Gong Yu closed her eyes and couldn't help crying out in pain.
"Little Nine."
Dai Ruyan's voice suddenly sounded next to her ear, Gong Yu slowly opened her eyes, unexpectedly it was really Dai Ruyan beside her.
But now Gong Yu, who is not good at all, dare not move, but Dai Ruyan is very calm.
Gong Yu guessed that maybe Dai Ruyan didn't see the edict, so she decided to talk to her about it.
"Ayan..." When she spoke, Gong Yu knew what her voice had become, and not only herself was taken aback.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu quietly, raised her hand carefully to stop beside Gong Yu's cheek, but her fingertips did not dare to touch Gong Yu's wound, and said hesitantly:
"I just saw the wedding dress in the courtyard. The red gauze is very beautiful, and the tailor also said that the wedding dress is very beautiful."
Gong Yu vaguely saw that Dai Ruyan's palm seemed to be red and swollen, but she couldn't see it clearly, so she blinked and calmed down the atmosphere and said, "I also want...to wear a wedding dress."
"Nonsense." Dai Ruyan lightly touched Gong Yu's brows with his fingertips and raised the corners of his mouth, "Xiao Jiu has to pretend to be the bridegroom."
"Okay." Gong Yu smiled palely, and couldn't help answering with reddened eyes: "Then I must be the most handsome groom in the capital."
It's rare that Dai Ruyan didn't refute
