But I am seriously thinking about the emperor’s intentions.
Looking at the emperor's appearance, it seemed that he really wanted to use the Gao family in an important way. While the Taifu felt that this marriage was a good one, he was also worried that the Gao family had been linked to the Nine Kings Rebellion. If one day the old affairs of the emperor were aroused...
…
The Tutor did not agree directly, but politely said that he could consider it.
Gao Hanqi was quite surprised. After all, he had told the emperor that he was happy with Si Qionglian, the Marquis of Xiwu, but now...
"What's the matter, Miss Du's legitimate daughter, a daughter of a well-known family, can't compare to a stepdaughter from the Hou family?" Zhao Zongheng frowned when he saw Gao Hanqi's hesitant expression, and looked at the look in his eyes.
I think there's something wrong with him.
Such a wonderful marriage was delivered to his door, but he still hesitated?
You won’t have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have...
Zhao Zongheng's eyes gradually turned cold, and he stared at Gao Hanqi with a bit of scrutiny.
"I just feel that Miss Du may not agree to this marriage." Gao Hanqi quickly bowed his head and bowed.
"The matter of marriage comes from the words of the parents who ordered the matchmaker." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes slightly and said: "Now that you have been promoted to the cabinet, you are a prince after all. How can you say that you are not worthy? There is no need to worry."
"Since I have made the decision for you, I will not break my promise."
After the emperor's words had come to this point, Gao Hanqi finally stopped saying anything and just waited for the Du family's wishes.
Zhao Zongheng was then satisfied and waved his hand to indicate that Gao Hanqi could withdraw.
Gao Hanqi walked out of the gate of Xuanming Hall and walked on the road without feeling how happy he was to get this marriage. The sun outside was a bit scorching. He thought carefully about it and it seemed that he had not felt that kind of joy and love for a long time.
Emotional.
When did it start?
Gao Hanqi was walking on the palace road, and his peripheral vision happened to pass by a flower bush that made him look at him. Once upon a time, he was so happy and looking forward to getting married, looking forward to marrying a beautiful woman, and even thought about what they would look like after getting married more than once.
of.
At that time...
It was when Si Ningchi was by his side, and it was also summer. What she was holding in her hand was the flowers he picked for her. She looked at him with such a smile, and was so happy and full of joy. What was the emotion of only one person?
When did you leave him?
So much so that now, when it comes to marriage and who to marry, it seems that there is no problem for him.
Gao Hanqi looked a little dazed. He didn't know whether he did the right thing or the wrong thing. He still remembered how he begged his mother to let him marry Si Ningchi. At that time, he really wanted to marry her.
.
Why, why did you give up...
Gao Hanqi returned to the palace with a decadent mood. He looked up and saw his mother's smiling face. She was dressed luxuriously and looked like a lady. Her mother smiled so happily and dressed so luxuriously that she seemed to have returned to her childhood.
time.
My father passed away for a long time, and my mother was still in a state of disbelief. She often said that the Gao family was going to be over, and told him over and over again what he should do to restore the family lintel...
Now that my mother is finally proud, how can she not be happy?
"Mother has heard! The emperor wants to marry you, and he means the Taifu's daughter!" Gao Mu's eyes were full of joy, and she looked at Gao Hanqi with great satisfaction and said: "Mother is thinking about your marriage, if
It would be a great blessing to be able to marry the Du family!"
"Now that you have gained face in front of the emperor and been promoted, it is a good time to look for a future." Gao Mu carefully planned for Gao Hanqi and said: "The Du family is considered to be the queen of a famous family. If it were different in the past, I would still look down upon it.
Not going to our Gao family."
"You have made great achievements recently, and you just took advantage of this east wind to get married. It will only be good for you in the future!" Gao Mu looked at Gao Hanqi happily and said, "Mother is so happy."
Gao Hanqi looked at his mother who was smiling happily in front of him and could not express any joy for the first time. He held it in for a long time before saying, "Why does mother never ask me if I like it?"
Gao Hanqi's words made Gao Mu stunned: "What?"
She frowned slightly: "Don't you like the lintel of the Taifu's daughter?"
"What about the Si family back then?" Gao Hanqi lowered his eyes and asked.
"What about the Si family? You can't think about the Si family anymore." Gao Mu's face suddenly changed, she looked at Gao Hanqi seriously and said, "The things Si Qionglian did have spread throughout the capital.
Who doesn’t know?”
"Back then, I was lying alone at the gate of the city. Who knows what happened..."
"I will never let such a woman enter the Gao family!"
Gao Mu raised her eyes and looked at Gao Hanqi and said seriously: "Han Qi, you can't be stupid!"
She said with some tears in her eyes: "The Gao family depends on you, you can't joke about your future. Listen to mother, you don't have to have anything to do with the Si family in the future. Now the emperor is here to help you."
You decide.”
"The Du family's marriage is excellent." Gao Mu said with consolation, as if she was wholeheartedly doing it for his own good.
"Does mother only have the Gao family in her eyes? Why has she never asked my opinion or my preferences? If you are good to the Gao family, you are good to me?" Gao Han Qisheng felt a little tired and tired, and frowned slightly.
Said the voice.
Gao's mother's eyes widened at what Gao Hanqi said, and she seemed to be anxious: "How much have I paid for the Gao family!? Now that I hear what you mean, do you want to blame mother?"
Gao Mu started to cry as she spoke, and told bitterly how hard she had worked, how many looks she had received over the years, and how much she had worked for him in fear. Gao Hanqi had actually heard those words many times.
I used to feel extremely sad every time I heard it, and I felt very sad for my mother’s sacrifice.
But today, when he listened and looked at his crying mother, who was dressed in rich clothes and wearing gold and silver jewelry, he suddenly fell into a trance. He felt that this scene was extremely dazzling, like a huge stone pressing on him, making him breathless. "That's enough!" Gao Hanqi stood up suddenly, tightening his lips and whispered in a low voice: "Mother, my life is not easy either."
He left these words and turned around to leave, faintly hearing his mother's cry behind him: "If you dare to ruin this marriage, I will die for you!"
Gao Hanqi, exhausted both physically and mentally, walked out of the palace aimlessly on the streets. Si Ningchi seemed to be everywhere in the streets he was familiar with. He hadn't walked around like this in a long time, and had almost forgotten him.
How happy I was.
Si Ningchi knew nothing about Gao Hanqi, and had no intention of asking about it. He was sitting with Princess Chaoyang, talking about Yang Guangyi's little lover.
