The chief steward flicked his fly whisk and said in a high-pitched voice. He glanced at the people kneeling below. When he saw the little girl next to Gu, Ming Shizhong, who had seen all kinds of concubines in the palace, his eyes lit up.
, no wonder the Duke and his wife are reluctant to part with it. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to part with it either.
I really didn't expect that this color is so beautiful. It's still small. If it were after hairdos, you can imagine how beautiful it would be.
The Duke of Guo suppressed his anger and said: "I accept the order."
Luo Jingyao noticed the eyes falling on her, but she did not want to stand out in unknown circumstances. Since she would marry Prince An, there would be many opportunities in the future.
"My father-in-law is also too shocked. Please forgive me and invite me to have some tea." Yan Zhong directly stuffed a purse into Ming Shizhong, the powerful eunuch who was the emperor.
Ming Shizhong calmly put it into his sleeve pocket, pinched it with his fingers, and knew what was inside, and his face became more and more friendly.
"No, we still have to reply to the emperor."
"Then I dare not delay my father-in-law's important business. You are also very happy." Yan Zhong stuffed another red envelope.
After sending away the eunuch who carried the order, Yan Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead. His master showed his displeasure on his face. If he didn't know his master well, he would have thought he was really so ignorant.
Woolen cloth.
But if the emperor takes it seriously, he will find trouble, my lord.
Naturally, the displeasure on the Duke's face was not concealed on purpose. He showed it directly and it was also his true expression. As for whether the emperor would know about it? He originally wanted the emperor to know.
The Duke held the marriage decree in his hand and glanced at his daughter who was not taking it seriously. He also had a headache.
But what Luo Jingyao was thinking was that this marriage conferred the title of king, and the word "an" was used, which made her have to think more.
An idiom suddenly appeared in my mind, that is, stay safe.
This is interesting, how can a crippled prince who is restless and unruly still stir up trouble?
It can be seen that the royal family has no father-son relationship.
The emperor is indeed very petty and ruthless.
The Ninth Prince Xiao Mubai also accepted the imperial edict at this time. The edict probably means that he has reached adulthood and has chosen a princess. He will only wait for the Qintian Supervisor to calculate the date and get married so that he can leave the palace and open a mansion.
"Master!" Uncle Fu called sadly.
"I will drag her down." The scar on Xiao Mubai's face took up most of his cheek. He looked down at his weak legs and clenched his fists.
"Master? It will be fine. You will be found soon."
"The bones are broken, how can you put them back together? Don't waste your efforts, let people come back." When he gets married, he should be allowed to go directly to the fiefdom.
He was also tired of this place.
It's just that he had to wrong the daughter of Duke Zhen. If it were someone else, he wouldn't care, but Duke Zhen was kind to him...
Uncle Fu secretly wiped away his tears, he was a suave, talented, and knowledgeable little master...
…
The old lady was helped up by Luo Jinhui and He Lingyao, with the gloating in her eyes. One was crippled and the other was sick. They were a match made in heaven!
"In the future, I will be a royal wife. I have to learn the rules and etiquette that I didn't learn in the past because of my poor health. Otherwise, if I go out, I will lose the face of the Duke's palace."
"The old lady also said that it's the Duke's government's disgrace. You've always worried about it." Mrs. Gu was already feeling extremely uncomfortable, but the old lady only added fuel to the fire.
"Presumptuous! What do you mean by that?" The old lady didn't expect that Mr. Gu would be so disrespectful to her.
"Did I make a mistake?" Gu glanced at her and curled her lips sarcastically.
"Are you trying to drive me away? You are a rebellious and unfilial person." The old lady was almost angry to death, but when she thought that Luo Bingang had earned the title of Duke of this country, she felt guilty again.
"This is what the old lady said, but I didn't say it." After saying that, Mrs. Gu took her daughter and prepared to leave. How could her daughter be so different from the rules? How could she be any worse than the one born by the old lady?
"Stop, I have something to say, come here." After saying that, he didn't know whether it was because he was angry or because he was afraid that Gu wouldn't be able to get there, so he immediately turned around and left.
"Sister-in-law..." Chu Yingrou flipped her hair and was about to say congratulations. When she saw Gu's bottomless eyes, she was frightened and choked up. She lowered her head and was danced by her daughter Luo Ming.
He held on and quickly followed the old lady's footsteps.
Luo Mingwu pursed her lips and smiled, nodding to Luo Jingyao. In the past, she was envious of this cousin, but now, she is not envious at all, she even pities her. If King An was before, she would definitely be jealous and crazy.
, the current King An, and the noble daughters of the aristocratic families all look pale when mentioned, because they are afraid that such a "good thing" will happen to them. Now that they are fine, everyone can relax.
Luo Jingyao smiled back, but it was unclear what she was thinking.
Luo Wenbo is particularly afraid of this uncle and these cousins. He will not interfere with their affairs. As long as he has money to spend, as for the rest, he has his grandmother and parents, so he does not need to worry about them at all.
.
"Brother, congratulations. From now on, you will be King An's father-in-law. You must not forget your brother, and support your brother and nephew more." Luo Jinzhong said happily.
"Do I need you to eat or drink? You are so envious. Why don't you just let Luo Mingwu marry you? Why do you need me to support you? You are superior to me." The Duke of Guo is not polite at all. He has already treated this family for a long time.
Disappointed, I relied on him to eat and drink, and I was picky and smashed plates and bowls.
"How can that be done? Prince An is disabled now...or is it that the eldest brother dislikes the current Prince An and is dissatisfied with the emperor's will."
Luo Jinzhong's words were heart-breaking. He wanted to directly trample the Duke to death, and he was heart-wrenching.
"This is not what I said. Isn't this what you are despising here? It's really outrageous that a little boss's daughter dares to despise the son of a mighty emperor. I don't know who your daughter is going to marry.
Master!"
After the Duke of Guo finished speaking, he didn't care about Luo Jinzhong, who had a pale face and swayed his legs, and left with his sons in long strides.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The unkind looks in the eyes of Luo Jingkong and his brothers made Luo Jinzhong even more angry.
He is an elder, a bunch of bastards.
The conversation between Duke Guo and Luo Jinzhong also appeared on the emperor's imperial case.
He could think of the attitude of the Duke of Guo, that he was stubborn. If he was happy, he would still have to be on guard. But now it showed that he was loyal to his emperor, but, in the end...
It’s scary!
As for the brother Guo Gongye, he doesn't have a good impression. He is too ambitious and has high vision but low power.
This also made him unhappy, but at the same time it made him feel at ease.
It's best to handle such a shit-stirring stick.
It's just that it's his fault that he doesn't like it, and if others look down on him, they look down on him as the emperor.
"It is my word that Luo Jinzhong's daughter...forget it, let's drive to Jingren Palace."
Ming Shizhong bowed and got out of the way, and the emperor started and went directly to the queen's palace.
…
"What does the old lady mean?"
Mrs. Gu looked at Luo Jinhui who was wiping her tears, but she didn't even bother to look at He Lingyao who was silent.
"Boss, what do you mean? There are only three of you, brother and sister. You are the boss, and you are the Duke of the country with a heavy army. But in your own house, my poor Hui'er mother and daughter almost died."
The old lady simply refused to answer Gu's objections, and used the excuse of the Duke of Guo, who had nothing to say.
Mrs. Gu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. If that was the case, then she would worry less and the mother and daughter would sit and drink tea.
"What do you mean by the old lady?"
"I don't mean anything by this. I'm just afraid that if I say it, people will laugh at you, a great prince, and you won't be able to figure out things in your own house. Alas! I'm worried about you too, so and so..."
"Pfft..." Mrs. Gu really couldn't hold it back. She had enough pretensions to ask for something, and she also had some foreshadowing.
She has been dealing with the old lady for more than twenty years, but she knows very well that the old lady has a purpose, but she doesn't know which one it is.
"Presumptuous, are you laughing at me? Do you still have any rules? There was an accident at Yilan Pavilion last night. What do you, the head wife, do for food? If it weren't for the second child, I would have to collect the body of my poor grandson today.
"
"That's because you have good control over it, Madam. It's strange that such a big thing hasn't been reported to the east courtyard at all. Oh! By the way, even if Madam wants to collect the body, it's still her granddaughter."
"presumptuous!"
"Old madam, please save it and tell me the purpose directly."
Mrs. Gu's indifference made the old lady frightened.
"Boss, are you just going to watch Mr. Gu contradict me?"
"Then what should I do? The Duke's Mansion is so unsafe, so I should just go back and forth wherever I go." The Duke looked at Luo Jinhui with twinkling eyes.
Luo Jinhui was startled and tugged on the old lady's sleeves anxiously. She didn't want to go back. The Duke's Mansion was well-fed, housed and well-clothed, but in the Minister's Mansion, the entire family depended on He An.
She was not used to living a life of tight food and clothing due to her salary.
She doesn't want to go back. She also wants to bring her two daughters with her. When they are old enough, they have to find a husband, and they have to rely on the reputation of the Duke's Palace.
He Lingyao's pupils also shrank.
This time she fell ill, and memories that she had never experienced appeared in her mind.
There, she was also the daughter of the He family, but she and this cousin were in the control group. She was obviously in good health and good-looking, but she married a scholar from a small family. Her husband failed the exam one after another, and she was beaten by her husband in the end.
, was tortured to death by her mother-in-law.
As for this cousin, she also married a scholar, but she played music and played music all her life. Her husband became the top scholar in a new subject and joined the cabinet before he was thirty.
Although my cousin is not in good health, she has a good life, her husband loves her very much, and her backers are getting bigger and bigger.
He Lingyao's eyes gradually turned red, Luo Jingyao's fate was so good.
It was so good that she could dream about it.
Now it's backfired by the loss of the treasure. This treasure protected her from lightning disasters in her previous life. She thought it had disappeared between heaven and earth, but she didn't expect that she sensed it when she was still a baby. After all, it had a soul contract with her.
She seized the baby's body, but the treasure was only a weak and incomplete weapon spirit. She said that it had caught a strange thing, and it possessed it and used a mirror to disguise it, but she didn't expect that she lost it that day.
It has never been found. There was a hint of involvement last night, but it suddenly broke off in the middle of the night, causing her to lose her strength and vomit blood.
If it was before, she would definitely sense it according to the contract, but because this is a mortal body, and the weapon spirit is less than three-tenths, it has been devouring the nutrients it said to supplement itself.
Now! Nothing!
Without it, how could she take away Luo Jingyao's good luck? Even if she had Luo Jingyao's fetal hair, it would still require meson.
Now the lanugo has been used up long ago, and the spirit of the weapon has also dissipated.
unless……
He Lingyao didn't know that it wasn't the backlash she suffered because she lost the treasure, but the backlash she suffered because Luo Jingyao directly got rid of the harmful thing.
And Luo Jingyao didn't even know that He Lingyao had an idea that was close to her heart.
Luo Jingyao had been paying attention to He Lingyao. Seeing He Lingyao's excited, resentful and unwilling expression, Luo Jingyao raised the corners of her lips.
"What are you saying? Are you trying to drive your sister away? It's not like you don't know the situation of the He family. Your sister has never suffered in her life. How can she persevere? As a brother, you don't know how to take care of her.
she?"
"If the old lady looks down on He An so much, why did she marry him in the first place? After all, He Anke was just a young man."
"Then how can it be the same?" I thought he was a promising person, but after twenty years, he is still a minister. It is really useless. The sister-in-law in the family is not a good one, and the mother-in-law is even more sweet-faced and bitter-hearted. Her daughter is pitiful.
.
Mrs. Gu and the Duke looked at her coldly.
Chu Yingrou wanted to say something, but she was afraid that Mrs. Gu would not give her face, so she could only endure it.
Luo Jingyao looked over and met Luo Mingwu's eyes. Luo Mingwu nodded.
Luo Jingyao smiled, but she did not miss the disdain flashing in her cousin's eyes.
This is fun.
"Not to mention anything else, does Yao'er's poisoning have anything to do with Gu? If she hadn't been so imprudent, how could she have gotten food poisoning."
"If it's the same thing, the Duke's Mansion is in danger, then go back to the Minister's Mansion. Is it because you don't have a home or something? Do you have to stay in the Duke's Mansion with a knife hanging above your head?"
They don't need Mr. Gu to distinguish them, they have their own husband who protects them.
Luo Jingkong had a stern look on her face: "Are you sure the old lady was poisoned?"
"Will the government doctor's diagnosis be wrong?"
"Just in time, I sent it to the government doctor and asked him to explain in detail what kind of poison he was hit with?"
"Boss, do your family want to force me to death? If you tell me today, I will definitely comply with your wishes."
When everyone heard what the old lady said, the Duke Guo's family became more and more heavy and angry, and the Luo Jinhui brothers and sister's family felt confident.
If the Duke of Guo does not want to gain the family's reputation, then he must put up with this matter.
Similarly, the old lady's wishful thinking also came to nothing.
very good!
Today is another day of nothingness.
The old lady wanted to use an excuse to tease the Gu family, but she was blocked by the Duke of Guo who asked her where she was coming and going.
Wait until you return to the east courtyard.
The Duke of Guo took his sons to discuss the matter. After all, he had not forgotten that his daughter was betrothed to Prince An.
"Mom, we need to borrow our strength to fight." Kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Judging from the old lady's appearance, He Lingyao and his daughter probably never thought about going back to their own house.
"Liu'er!"
"Mom, when I grow up, I will know sooner or later. I don't take the initiative to harm others, but I don't want to be harmed by others without knowing it."
