"Tang'er, are you willing to be my wife?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Baiyi directly stretched out his hand towards Shen Jintang.

Then he held his breath indifferently.

He looked at Shen Jintang nervously, fearing that he would hear words of rejection from her mouth.

He could vaguely feel that Shen Jintang probably also had a crush on him.

Shen Jintang was still a little surprised by Gu Baiyi's slightly sensational confession.

She didn't expect that Brother Gu, who usually seemed so cold and cold, could actually make such a sensational confession.

Seeing Gu Baiyi looking at her expectantly with his eyes open, Shen Jintang couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, raised her slender and tender hand, and gently put it into his palm.

Then he raised his almond-shaped eyes and smiled lightly at him: "Brother Gu, I am willing."

……

Many years later, Gu Boyi still remembers this scene.

At that time, his heart seemed to jump into a deer and kept beating wildly.

Shen Jintang's soft smile at that time was directly imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it, and he didn't want to get rid of it.

What he felt at that time was that he had never felt happier at that moment in all his years.

Happier.

Gu Baiyi didn't even know how he sent Shen Jintang back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Shen Jintang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was banished by Shen Yunxuan and brothers Shen Yunxuan and told him that after Prime Minister Pei returned to the Mansion, they ordered Pei Jingxue to be restrained and asked to stay in the room to reflect and reflect.

After Shen Jintang learned about it, he just smiled lightly.

Some people will die if they do too much injustice.

Early the next morning.

The imperial decree came to the palace.

In this matter, Shen Jintang had just finished dressing up when he was told to go to the main courtyard to receive the order.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I heard that the Prime Minister's granddaughter Shen Jintang is virtuous and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I am very pleased to hear about it. Now that my grandson is still in his weak years, when he is suitable for marriage, he should be virtuous. Daughter and Consort. When Shen Jintang is waiting to be married, you and your grandson are a match made in heaven. In order to become a beautiful woman, I have specially betrothed you to your grandson as the royal concubine. I admire you."

As soon as this imperial edict came out, some were surprised, some were happy, and some were filled with displeasure.

Shen Jintang did not expect that Gu Baiyi would move so quickly, and after just one night, the emperor would order the marriage.

Pei Heng's heart was full of sourness, but he still had to kowtow obediently and accept the order to thank him.

"Prime Minister Pei, Mr. Pei, I am here to congratulate you first." Eunuch Chu said with a smile to the two of them.

Prime Minister Pei didn't know that Gu Baiyi was interested in Shen Jintang.

Therefore, when Eunuch Chu read out the imperial edict, he was completely confused.

Why did the emperor suddenly decree a marriage?

Prime Minister Pei knew that his newly recognized granddaughter was different from the noble girls around the capital. She had a resolute personality and always had her own ideas in doing things.

Although he is the prime minister of a country and is her grandfather, he does not dare to decide on her marriage without authorization.

Therefore, Prime Minister Pei quietly turned his head and cast his gaze on Shen Jintang.

There seemed to be a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and a smile pouring out of her almond-shaped eyes. It was obvious that she was not dissatisfied at all with this imperial edict granting marriage.

Prime Minister Pei understood immediately.

Then he turned his head back silently.

Therefore, when Eunuch Chu finished reading the imperial edict to congratulate him, Prime Minister Pei immediately accepted the edict to express his gratitude. Then he stood up and said to Eunuch Chu with a smile on his face: "Eunuch Chu, it's hard for you to make this trip. Please come to the main hall to have a cup of tea and rest." Let’s do it!”

Eunuch Chu rarely saw Prime Minister Pei being so polite. The smile on his face became even deeper, and the creases at the corners of his eyes could pinch mosquitoes.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you're too polite. The Za family has to go back to recover. Let's drink this cup of tea next time." Eunuch Chu smiled and said to Prime Minister Pei.

Immediately a steward came forward and stuffed a bulging money bag into Eunuch Chu's hand.

Eunuch Chu weighed his thoughts slightly, and the smile on his face became deeper and more genuine: "The Prime Minister's kindness was accepted unceremoniously by the Zajia family, and the Zajia family will go back to resume their lives first."

After Eunuch Chu left.

The eyes of others immediately fell on Shen Jintang.

The expressions in his eyes are complicated, including unwillingness, envy, jealousy, indifference, and desire to please.

After all, the status of His Royal Highness the Grand Concubine is not comparable to the status of the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If the emperor chooses His Highness the Grand Sun to inherit the throne, then she will be the empress of the world in the future.

Those who figured this out quickly began to congratulate Pei Heng, his wife, and Shen Jintang.

The compliment and flattery in his tone were completely undisguised.

Prime Minister Pei glanced at them lightly: "Okay, okay, you all should step aside."

The other people's voices suddenly stopped, and they bowed and retreated.

Prime Minister Pei glanced at Pei Heng and Wu Qiuniang and saw that although they were slightly surprised from the beginning, they did not show any surprise. Prime Minister Pei understood that the couple knew about Gu Baiyi and Shen Jintang. .

"Since you knew His Highness Taisun was interested in Tang'er, why didn't you inform me in advance?"

Pei Heng's emotions were particularly complicated at this time. He didn't know whether he should be happy or smile bitterly.

After all, he only has one daughter, Tang'er, and Shen Jintang's excellence is obvious to all.

As a result, before she felt enough pain, she was about to be snatched away by another man.

But what is gratifying is that this man is excellent. Compared with all the men Pei Heng has seen in the first half of his life, there is no doubt that Gu Baiyi is excellent.

That’s all, as a woman, Tang’er will eventually get married.

It would be better to marry an excellent man who truly loves her.

"Father, although Qiuniang and I have secretly speculated that His Highness Taisun has a romantic relationship with Tang'er, that is just our guess after all. How can we inform you?

But what we didn’t expect was that the emperor had no clues and directly issued the decree of marriage, which really caught me off guard!"

As soon as Pei Heng said these words, Prime Minister Pei fell silent.

He knew the emperor's physical condition, and it could be said that it was getting worse.

If you think about the emperor's body, you can understand why he was so anxious to choose the concubine for His Highness the Grand Sun.

"We also need to prepare a dowry for Tang'er as soon as possible."

After Prime Minister Pei finished speaking, Pei Heng and Wu Qiuniang looked at him in disbelief and said, "So fast?"

Prime Minister Pei nodded, but did not explain that the emperor's body might not last long.

At the same time, news spread that the emperor had decreed a marriage between Shen Jintang and Gu Baiyi.

No one expected that the emperor would move so quickly, nor did they expect that the position of the grand concubine would actually belong to Shen Jintang.
