As soon as General Yan spoke, He Nanfeng couldn't stop Wan Shi anymore. He trembled his beard and finally stopped talking.

Wan Shuer's palm-sized face was as pale as paper, which made He Nanfeng feel very distressed. However, her expression was still calm. She lowered her head and was silent for a while, then slowly said: "As the Marquis said, Gu Er

The portrait and horoscopes were all requested by the Empress herself. It was not my intention to do so. The Marquis had already asked about it once during dinner today, and now that you two are asking again, I can only answer this."

As she spoke, she twisted her handkerchief and wiped her tears, then whispered: "Besides, Gu'er has also reached the age of marriage. He is about the same age as the eldest princess. If the empress can like our Gu'er, how can this be done?

Isn't it the blessing of the Changyang Marquis Mansion? Her Royal Highness the Princess is so noble and noble, why did she wrong Gu'er by promising him? Although I did hand over his birth certificate to enter the palace, it was also based on the Queen's decree. How did it get into the old lady's mouth?

What a 'bad thing', could it be that the Empress valued Gu'er's good looks and talents and intended to marry her as the emperor's daughter, so is it wrong?"

Her words seemed to be just to defend herself, but in fact she was sarcastically mocking General Yan and Mrs. Yan for disrespecting the queen and the princess. Mrs. Yan's expression changed immediately after hearing this.

After lying low for many years, Mrs. Yan never expected that she would have such a face. She stood up suddenly and pointed at her with an angry finger that shook: "You...you..."

He Gu quickly pulled his grandmother to sit down. He knew that although Mrs. Wan was uneasy and well-intentioned, there was nothing wrong with what she said. Although many noble disciples tacitly agreed that they did not want to be the prince's consort, few of them dared to say it.

It's because of this.

It would be fine if he was just waiting to die. Although he could not become an official if he married a princess, he could receive generous rewards. As long as he did not make any big mistakes and had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, it would be happy to be a wealthy and idle man.

However, although the Marquis of Changyang is not one of the top lords and nobles in Bianjing, his family fortune is not poor. He Gu is the eldest son and will inherit the title in the future. Whether he becomes the consort or not will not affect his life of fine clothing and fine food.

It's really not worth it to ruin your future for this.

In Mrs. Yan's heart, her grandson is very up to date.

The eldest daughter died early, and the grandson lost his mother when he was young, but he did not grow crooked at all. He was well-behaved and smart since he was a child, and he learned literature and martial arts, and he was very proficient in everything.

Among the princes and grandsons of Bianjing, He Gu's martial arts skills in horseback riding and archery are among the best. At a young age, He Gu followed his father to Chenghe to quell the chaos and returned victorious. Although it was not a great achievement, it was still impressive at the age of sixteen.

Look, it’s already amazing.

He has the demeanor of his grandfather, the old general Yan, and is even better than his predecessor.

Mrs. Yan has always believed that her grandson will have great fortunes in the future.

But at this moment, she couldn't speak out. She said that this royal marriage was not good. Her face turned red and white. When He Gu saw this, he was afraid that she would be angry. He was about to speak when he heard his biological father, Mr. He Laohou, say: "Father-in-law.

Mother-in-law, there is no need to be anxious. Although this matter is the queen's wish, after all, the palace's confirmation letter has not been released. Now she is just looking out for the princess. It may not be that Gu'er can really marry the princess."

"Let's do this. In two days, Your Majesty will return to Beijing from the Western Mountains. At that time, I will go to the palace to meet you, and I may be able to inquire about it during the interview. If Your Majesty also has this intention, I will find an excuse for Gu Er to decline. Your Majesty.

He is a benevolent monarch, and now that I have contributed to Chenghe's efforts to quell the chaos, I think your Majesty will not blame me for this, and there may be room for maneuver in this matter."

As soon as he spoke, it was not necessary to say that He Gu, General Yan and his wife were a little surprised, but even Wanshi couldn't help being stunned. General Yan was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and said: "...it's not bad.

You, as a father, have some conscience."

Wan murmured for a while and said in a low voice: "This...this is the queen's wish. If the marquis refuses it openly, I am afraid he will offend the Tian family..."

Before she finished speaking, He Nanfeng's face turned solemn and shouted: "Shut up!"

It was rare for Wan to see him being so angry with her, and she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and did not dare to speak.

Since He Nanfeng had promised to refuse the marriage for his son when he entered the palace tomorrow, the Yan family couple could no longer hold on and left immediately. He Nanfeng wanted to keep them for dinner, but they were told that

The old general declined politely.

Only then did Madam Yan notice Yan Dingye, who had been standing next to the door and not daring to come in. She was stunned and said, "Dingye, why are you here?"

Yan Dingye touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Well... I happened to meet my cousin on the street today, and he caught me."

General Yan glanced at his unfulfilled grandson and guessed that the little brat had probably gone out to fool around again, but he didn't want to reprimand his grandson in the He family, so he only frowned and said, "Go home."

After speaking, he looked at his grandson again, his tone and eyes softening more than a little visibly: "Gu'er, it's not easy to return to Beijing. Please remember to come back to see me and your grandmother someday."

Yan Dingye: "..."

Who is the real grandson?

He Gu quickly nodded in agreement. He Nanfeng pinned Wan in the room and did not let her follow her out. Together with his son, he sent the two elders of the Yan family to the door of the Hou Mansion. He did not look back until he saw them get into the carriage.

As soon as I turned around, I met the cool gaze of my eldest son.

When He Gu saw him looking at her, he raised the corners of his lips with a careless smile. Without saying a word, he turned around and prepared to go back to his room.

However, Mr. He Laohou suddenly said: "Stop."

He Gu paused in his steps: "What do you want me to do, dad?"

"My father will enter the palace in two days. You will come with me."

He Gu was stunned for a moment: "I...what should I do with you?"

He Nanfeng shook his beard, his lips trembled, but he said nothing.

He knew in his heart that today's emperor is not only a benevolent king, but also a wise king. Your Majesty loves talents. Although his eldest son is a bit rebellious, he is somewhat capable in writing, poetry, and archery. Although He Nanfeng did not

He had said that, but he was secretly proud of it. When talking to his colleagues, he was often envied for having a good son. If His Majesty met He Gu, he would most likely feel pity for his talent and might want to keep him.

From now on he will be an official and a general, but I can't bear to see him ruin his career by becoming a prince-in-law.

This is much smarter than him rejecting it personally.

It's just that although He Nanfeng knew it in his heart, he didn't want to say it in front of He Gu. Otherwise, this rebellious son who had been rebellious recently would probably be proud of himself, and now he would be even more difficult to discipline.

When he thought of this, he just coughed dryly and said coldly: "My father's decision has its own reasons. Why do you ask so many questions?"

He Gu felt that he was crazy. It was obviously Old He who stopped him, but now he was betraying him. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and was about to turn around and leave, but he remembered something and stopped.

"As my son, I have no right to interfere with how my father and his wife are doing. It's just that my wife is my stepmother, but Rong'er is also my daughter. Please take care of my wife and the evil women and servants under her.

Don't put your hands into Wangshu Zhai, otherwise if things get too big in the future, it will not look good on dad."

Mr. He Laohou was stunned, frowned, and said: "You mean..."

He Gu looked at him a little strangely and smiled sarcastically.

"After all, Madam has been my father's bed partner for many years. Why, you really have no idea what she can do? Rong'er told me personally that there was a bad person who wanted to harm her, but Wang Shuge was

The nuns found out and failed to succeed. She is an eight or nine-year-old girl. What kind of lies can she tell? My father and I are both in Chenghe. How many people in this huge Changyang Marquis Mansion can harm her or want to harm her?

?Couldn’t dad guess it?”

As He Gu said this, he couldn't help but think of an accident he made in his previous life. He Rong was poisoned by the woman at home, and was so frightened by the snake that he went crazy. His mind was always stuck in his childhood. He couldn't help but feel a little sadder in his heart.

gas.

Since his rebirth, He Gu has always felt like Zhuang Zhou Mengdie. Every night, when he wakes up in the morning and looks at himself on the water while washing, he will wonder if he is really reborn and has gone through such a life.

A life that is not going well everywhere? Or is this all just a dream he had?

But He Gu found that he couldn't have that kind of ambition. Just like the He Gu in the dream who had been ups and downs for half his life, he faced life and death for him, but in the end he had the entire He family beheaded, calling him a "disloyal and disobedient minister."

"The prince just accepted it and killed him at the slightest sign of his neck.

Back as a teenager, He Gu felt that his psychology was somewhat affected, his mood swings became more intense, and he no longer wanted to be manipulated, let down, or betrayed.

Regardless of whether that life was true or false, at least this time, he will never follow the same old path again.

Although the current Wan family may not have committed any evil in his life, He Gu will never let it go. He will not give these people another chance to harm himself and his relatives.

He said coldly: "I have said good things before. If father indulges her, if she angers me in the future, father, please don't blame his son for being disobedient and unfilial."

He Gu said nothing, turned around and left, leaving Mr. He alone with a stunned look on his face.

At the same time, Zhiyang Palace where the queen lives.

The eldest princess, Chunxiao, originally accompanied the emperor in hunting at the Xishan hunting ground. As soon as she learned that the queen had contracted the cold, she immediately took leave and returned to the palace to see her mother.

But everyone in the Zhiyang Palace knows... The Queen is fine, but she is bedridden due to the cold...

Those that don't exist are all lies told by the empress to trick the princess into coming back early.

At this moment, the eldest princess has indeed rushed back from Xishan after a long journey. As soon as she entered Zhiyang Palace, all the palace people in Zhiyang Palace were watching her nose and heart, not daring to show off, for fear that the princess would find out that she was kissed.

After Mom cheated, she would take out her anger on them.

Empress Chen was a famous beauty in Bianjing back then. In addition, her family background was noble. Before she left the imperial court, people who wanted to propose marriage had almost crossed the threshold of the Chen family.

The eldest princess Pei Zhaoyu followed her mother because of her good looks.

It's just that she has a cold and taciturn temperament, and His Majesty loves her and respects her. She has been raised like a prince since she was a child. She is good at reading, arching and horsemanship, and is good at everything.

Unlike her mother, Queen Chen, who is charming and lively, the eldest princess is more like a red lotus in the snow. Although she is cold, she is still gorgeous.

As soon as she took off the tulle on her lower body, even though the palace people in Zhiyang Palace had watched her grow up, they could not help but be dazzled by the beauty of the eldest princess every time they saw her.

The eldest princess's voice was slightly low, but still gentle and sweet: "Mother, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Empress Chen turned over the desk and said, "If I hadn't said this, I don't know when you would return to the palace. The queen mother has something serious to see you for."

"Since it's business, why don't you just..."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes fell on a portrait of Empress Chen that was turned over on the table and paused.

The handsome young man in the painting is dressed in blue. The artist who painted the portrait is very capable. He painted his dark eyes as bright as dot paint. His eyes are slightly curved and his lips are smiling. He is handsome.

Very.

"How's it going?" The queen looked up at her daughter happily, "The eldest son of the Changyang Marquis family, I seem to like him the most. I asked Mrs. Changyang Marquis a few days ago. He is good at martial arts and has good horoscopes.
