"Your imperial brother...he agreed?" Gu Qingling was a little surprised.
The royal family is so shameless?
No, I don't care about face.
She actually agreed to let a prince marry an old woman who was already married to someone more than ten years older than him and could be his mother?!
Li Wenchong's expression was innocent: "Yes, I told you, the emperor dotes on me very much. As long as I want, he rarely refuses. If there weren't so many things in the capital, I would have come back long ago if I stayed a little longer.
Let me tell you the good news."
Is this good news? Suddenly, Gu Qingling wanted to rub Leng Junxiang directly on him and let him die on the spot.
"You don't believe it?" Li Wenchong understood her expression and without saying a word, he asked Qingzhu to take the box he was carrying.
He put it on the table and pushed it in front of Gu Qingling, "This is the imperial edict."
Staring at the thing in front of her, Gu Qingling suddenly felt a little hot - without this thing, she thought he was joking, but if there was this thing...
If there is an imperial edict, wouldn't she have to get married even if she doesn't?
"Are you trying to force a kiss?" Gu Qingling did not open the box immediately, but looked at him and said.
Seeing her misunderstanding, Li Wenchong quickly explained: "No, I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me, so I asked the emperor for this edict. Now I'm just letting you see it in advance. When you are willing to marry me one day, I will
I will give you this imperial edict again."
Gu Qingling stared at his eyes for a long time to confirm whether what he said was true or false.
Finally, she smiled and said: "I believe you! But... I think it is safer to keep this kind of thing here with me, what do you think?"
"You want...to put it here?"
Of course, she has a space. As long as she doesn't want anyone to find it, who can find it? Gu Qingling: "Don't you believe me? Are you afraid that I will lose such an important thing, or are you afraid that I will..."
"How come? Since you want it, just take it." At worst, he will ask his brother to make a replacement when the time comes.
Of course, Li Wenchong was still full of confidence in himself. He felt that given his identity and status, and putting aside her worries, it was natural for her to marry him.
"Lest you accuse me of lying to you in the future, we'd better explain it clearly in person and confirm the contents..." With that said, Gu Qingling opened the box in front of Li Wenchong.
After all, Gu Qingling still felt a little worried about Li Wenchong, fearing that he would use a fake thing to defraud her. Of course, she still wanted to check it for peace of mind.
Li Wenchong was open-minded and didn't think much about it. He let Gu Qingling check it and then watched her put the things beside him.
She was so defensive about him, and Li Wenchong was a little helpless: "Qing Ling, we haven't known each other for a day or two. When did I lie to you? How do I feel...you are guarding me like a thief?"
"You have no plans for me, how can I not be on guard?" Gu Qingling still had the same reason, "Who in the right mind would want to marry an old lady like me? Besides, you are still the first to marry. With your status,
Status... Even if you tell me, how many people do you think will believe you?"
"Uh...my royal brother believes it, otherwise he wouldn't give me this imperial edict."
"To be honest, I'm really surprised... I didn't expect His Majesty to be so fond of you..." You have been favored to this extent. According to normal logic, any emperor would hear that his beloved younger brother wants to
If you marry an old woman, don't you get furious and then settle the score with her?
As a result, Emperor Mingguang didn't miss any rewards that should be given to the Yao family in the past three years, as if he didn't know about her and Li Wenchong.
Wait, that’s not right. Jinling has applied for so many “projects” in the past three years. Which one has not been submitted to Beijing for approval without a written memorial?
Gu Qingling had never been an official and had no experience in this area. When Magistrate Sun said that Jinling had received "attention" and "attention" from the superiors, she had not thought about it yet, but now Li Wenchong is sitting with Emperor Mingguang's imperial edict.
In front of her, Gu Qingling had to think.
She said: "The reason why the memorials submitted by the Jinling Prefecture were approved so quickly is because of your credit, right?"
Li Wenchong blinked: "No, I just mentioned it a little and asked the emperor to take care of it."
How could Li Wenchong only do and not talk about his own merits?
If he doesn't tell him, what if this woman pretends to be stupid and doesn't know?
Li Wenchong had the experience of being "played stupid" by Gu Qingling many times. He didn't want to continue to be confused like this. How did he speak well of the Yao family in front of Emperor Mingguang, how did he introduce people to her eldest son in Beijing, and how did he take care of her.
Her natal brothers, nephews, etc., were all mentioned one by one.
As soon as he said this, there was more. Through Li Wenchong's narration, Gu Qingling had a clearer understanding of the situation in Beijing.
In order to let the connections related to the Yao family come to the fore, Gu Qingling has come up with a lot of things, but when his family encounters any situation, there is no one in the capital who can talk to him.
Now after listening to Li Wenchong's words, Gu Qingling realized that the battle for the princes in the capital had already begun.
I don't know if she misled Mrs. Yao or what happened, but after Mr. Yao and his wife arrived in the capital, they had frequent contacts with the First Prince's Mansion, and they were already considered to be members of the First Prince's faction.
Gu Qingling: "..."
So, is it in vain that she writes letters to Uncle Yao every once in a while to ask him to keep distance from the princes?
"No matter how much you write, it's useless. The eldest princess of Baixiang Pavilion owned by your Yao family in the capital gets dividends, and the eldest princess is the legitimate son of your mother's birth secretary... plus you beat Yao's side so much when you were in the capital.
Concubine’s face, everyone knows that your Yao family and the Jinjun Prince’s Palace will not deal with you, and you are from the eldest prince’s lineage.”
"Did I say it?"
"Yeah!" Li Wenchong nodded and said, "Some things can't be thrown away if you want. Of course, if you marry me, the situation will be different."
Li Wenchong smiled and explained the benefits of Gu Qingling marrying him. For example, he was a natural "royalist" and no matter who took that position, it would have no impact on him.
As for her, as the "Imperial Aunt", it was "normal operation" to communicate with her future eldest nephew and eldest nephew's wife in advance. However, they were preempted by the eldest prince's palace.
"What you said sounds nice, but from another perspective, it can also be said that you were dragged into the water by the Yao family. How can you be sure that the person who takes that position in the future will not think that you are also
Support the eldest prince?" Gu Qingling frowned slightly, a little doubtful. If this guy really doesn't have that kind of ambition and wants to rebel and become the emperor, but he just happens to be secretly supporting the eldest prince?
It would be fine if he just supports the eldest prince, but if he is really prepared to rebel...
When she jumped in like this, was she sure she didn't jump into the hole he dug?
No one who wants to be an emperor would marry a woman who can be his mother as a queen, unless she is a "cannon fodder" to hide from others.
Anyone who listens to a prince who marries a woman who can be his mother is a fool, right? Who would think of such a fool as rebelling?
