If it had been yesterday, she would have shook her head again and again, refusing to agree to this marriage and fighting to the end.
However, after a conversation with Gu Qingyan in the carriage today, she learned what the marriage represented and changed her mind, planning to pass the problem to His Majesty.
So, when the emperor asked, she looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, are you asking me if I am satisfied with Master Gu Qi? Or are you asking me something else?"
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Is there a different explanation?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me, and I'll listen."
Anhua Jin hesitated for a while, "Do you want to tell the truth?"
The emperor smiled, "Of course you are telling the truth. Are you going to lie to me in front of me?"
"Don't dare!" An Huajin sat up straight, "If you ask me if I am satisfied with Mr. Gu Qi, of course I am satisfied. The bright moon is clear and the breeze is bright, Yuxiu is a romantic person. I have only seen him since I was a child.
How can one be dissatisfied?"
The emperor nodded, "There is no one like him in the whole world."
An Huajin also nodded, with a smile on his face, "But other than him, whether it is family background, temperament, or our childhood environment and upbringing, they are all very different and inappropriate. You
Is that right?"
The emperor disagreed, "This is not a problem. The Gu family is good, the family background is good, and the An family is not bad. He has been in the family for hundreds of years. Mr. Gu Qi has a gentle temperament. If you have a bad temper, he can let you go. As for the environment and upbringing, you have joined the Gu family.
After that, I will naturally follow my husband and get used to it in a year and a half."
Hearing these light words, An Huajin raised his head and said seriously, "But, I have never thought about getting married."
"What do you mean?" The emperor looked at her and laughed, "Do you want to stay at home and be an old girl for the rest of your life?"
An Huajin shook his head, "I don't think so, but I am the only one in the An family now except for my grandfather. If I get married, wouldn't there be no one in the An family after a hundred years? So, in the battle at Yuxueling,
After my father and brother died in the battlefield, I supported their coffins and said that I would not marry outsiders in the future, but planned to recruit a son-in-law and pass on the An family."
The emperor was stunned.
The queen whispered, "Xiao An'er, you actually have this idea?"
An Huajin nodded seriously, "Yes, Auntie, I have had this idea for a long time."
The queen glanced at the emperor, then turned to An Huajin, "When my father made the engagement with you and Young Master Gu Qi, he never mentioned that you had this idea."
An Huajin shrugged and said helplessly, "Auntie, I only just found out that I have such an engagement. I didn't know about it for a long time. Grandpa didn't tell me that the An family made an exception from me and didn't let me get married on my own. The matter has been left to me since I was a child.
I came up with an engagement, and I didn’t think it was a big deal, so naturally I didn’t need to tell him in advance.”
The queen was speechless for a moment.
The emperor stopped laughing, "So, because of this, you don't agree to this marriage? But Gu Qingyan told the eldest princess yesterday that there is a big misunderstanding between you, just like Chu Chen?"
An Huajin didn't expect that Gu Qingyan would reveal their past grudges to the eldest princess yesterday. She immediately shook her head and said seriously, "A huge misunderstanding can be solved. Yesterday I had a drink with Chu Chen. What's more,
Let alone Gu Qingyan, this is nothing. I mainly do it for the inheritance of the An family."
The emperor nodded and fell silent.
An Huajin said again, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu Qi is the most outstanding descendant of the Gu family and the successor of this generation of the Gu family. The Gu family must be reluctant to let him marry me and settle down, right?" After saying this, she secretly gritted her teeth, "If
If the Gu family is willing to let him marry me, then I have no objection."
The emperor was silent, his face darkened.
For a moment, there was silence in the palace. Eunuch Zhang and Aunt He, who were waiting beside the emperor and the empress, were very angry and did not dare to speak out.
After a while, the emperor looked at An Huajin with a deep look, "It's hard for you to think about the inheritance of the An family at such a young age. I am sorry for the An family. For the sake of this country, the loyal souls of the An family men are buried."
An Huajin said with a sad face and awe-inspiring righteousness, "For Your Majesty and for the stability of the homes of thousands of people, it is worth it to sacrifice one family for thousands of families in the world. Even if my father and brother sacrifice for this, I am the only one left now."
, Your Majesty does not need to say sorry."
The emperor's face softened slightly, "The An family has been loyal to the country, but now the house is deserted, which often makes me uneasy at night."
The queen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and took the opportunity to say, "My brother and nephew's spirit is in heaven. Now I am looking at this peaceful and prosperous age, and I must be very relieved. Your Majesty must not be upset. You have worked hard for the country, and it is also extremely difficult."
The emperor patted the queen's hand and sighed, "I have carried this courage on my shoulders for so many years, and only you, Ruxin, know how hard it is for me. It is my blessing to have you by my side who have always cared about me."
An Huajin looked at the two of them and said nothing.
After a while, the emperor said in a deep voice, "It's not that there is no way. After you get married and give birth to children, just choose a surname An."
An Huajin shook his head and said resolutely, "Your Majesty, the method you mentioned is that I should marry into the Gu family. Even if I give birth to children, choosing a surname of An will not mean that I grew up in the An family since I was a child. It is just a false surname.
, it doesn’t mean much. The inheritance I want is the inheritance of Menlin, and it is an inheritance that belongs entirely to the An family. Even if it is just a single seedling, it will be passed down from generation to generation."
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere became tense again.
The emperor looked at An Huajin, his eyes were dark, and he could no longer be tough. Especially after the battle of Yuxueling, he felt sorry for the An family. The thought of An Huajin was like a stone hitting his heart. It was him
Unexpected.
He thought that as long as Gu Qingyan agreed and An Huajin was a little girl, and he exerted pressure, the matter could be accomplished. Unexpectedly, An Huajin had this idea and was thinking about the inheritance of the An family, which made it difficult. p>
Since ancient times, no child of the Gu family has married into a child with a foreign surname, not to mention Gu Qingyan, nor the other children of the Gu family. The old man of the Gu family will definitely not agree, even he feels that it is an insult to the Gu family.
Seeing that the emperor's face was dark and silent for a while, the queen calmed down the atmosphere and said softly, "Xiao An'er, my father doesn't know your plans yet. Why don't you discuss it with your father and listen to his thoughts before making a decision?" p>
Although An Huajin was considering the inheritance of the An family, and as the daughter of the An family, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea. However, His Majesty worked hard to promote the marriage of the An and Gu families. As a queen, she could guess some of the plans behind it.
.If this marriage fails, how upset will His Majesty be?
If Your Majesty is angry, the little guilt he feels towards the An family will disappear.
In addition, she felt that it would be a pity if An Huajin pushed Gu Qingyan away from the marriage. Where in the world could he find a husband like Gu Qingyan?
Many girls' families in Beijing are looking forward to this marriage, including her biological third princess.
The third princess had cried to her countless times, saying that she didn't care for her biological daughter but for her niece, and that she only had her niece in her heart. She couldn't tell her the truth clearly, so she tried to persuade her several times and annoyed her several times, but the girl was still alive.
She couldn't listen. Now that she thinks about the third princess, she gets a headache.
"The queen is right. Since the old Nanyang King doesn't know your idea, you still need to discuss it with him." The emperor finally spoke again, "In addition, Gu Qingyan seems to be very interested in you. After a few years, he started painting again.
, I drew a "Picture of Beauty" for you, and now I keep it in my study. You can follow me to take a look at the painting later."
An Huajin also wanted to see the painting, so he nodded, "Okay!"
