Chapter 67 The Gu Family's Stance

"Is Mr. Gu dissatisfied with the marriage granted by the emperor?" On the way out of the royal study, Yushi Shen came over and asked, with a puzzled expression on his face, "It's so good, why would the emperor grant the marriage of the daughter of the royal family to the sixth prince?"

Prime Minister Gu regained his composure and glanced at him displeasedly: "Your Majesty, are you curious about this matter?"

Shen Yushi nodded: "I'm really curious."

"How dare we, the ministers, dare to speculate on matters decided by the emperor?" Gu Xiang said calmly, "Master Yushi monitors all officials, and guessing about the Sacred Heart should not be within your scope of responsibilities."

"It is true that guessing about the Sacred Heart is not within the scope of my responsibilities, but curiosity is human nature." Shen Yushi smiled meaningfully, "But don't get me wrong, Prime Minister, I dare not be curious about the emperor's thoughts, but I am curious about what the daughter of the royal family does. What happened that made the emperor suddenly want to grant her a marriage? "

The implication of this sentence is obvious. It undoubtedly means that the daughter of the Gu family did something she shouldn't have done, and the emperor was furious before he granted her a marriage.

Don't think that being given the title of concubine to a prince is an honor.

After all, once the marriage is finalized, the Gu family's position will be much more interesting.

A fourth prince and a sixth prince.

Tsk.

Not to mention that Prime Minister Gu will definitely not be able to sleep tonight, but the fourth prince and his mother Gu Guifei will also have trouble sleeping and eating.

After hearing his words, Gu Cheng's face immediately darkened, he glared at him displeased, and walked away with his sleeves fluttered.

Shen Yushi watched his leaving figure, stroking his chin and thinking. The emperor suddenly became angry after seeing the Ninth Prince's copy. What does this mean?

It shows that Prince Yu's palace was demoted and the daughter of the Gu family was given a marriage, all because they angered the Ninth Prince - what kind of things can make the Ninth Prince angry with both families at the same time?

It seems that Prince Yu's Mansion held a flower viewing party today. I heard Hui Fu say last night that she also received a message from the Prince's Mansion.

The main purpose of holding the flower viewing banquet is to apologize to Princess Nanyang.

Shen Yushi couldn't help but wonder, Princess Nanyang is the young fiancée of the Ninth Prince... So, the excerpt written by the Ninth Prince is related to Princess Nanyang?

have to.

It's better to go back and ask your daughter first to see if a group of people need to be impeached tomorrow.

Prime Minister Gu quickly returned home by carriage. On weekdays, he still had a lot of things to deal with after going to court, so he could only get home in the evening, and sometimes it was even dark.

He came back near noon today, which immediately puzzled Mrs. Gu.

"Why did the Prime Minister come back so early today?" Gu Fu was instructing the maid to prepare lunch. Seeing that her husband came back early, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise, "Aren't you busy at court today?"

Prime Minister Gu looked gloomy. Before he could change his clothes, he said coldly: "Call An Xian over. I have something to tell her."

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Gu's expression changed. She looked carefully at his gloomy face and spoke cautiously, "Master, what happened in the palace?"

Prime Minister Gu stepped over the threshold and said in a cold tone: "The emperor wants to marry An Xian to the sixth prince."

"A marriage to the sixth prince?" Mrs. Gu was shocked, "Why?"

The maid came over with loose uniforms and waited on the Prime Minister to change his clothes with downcast eyes.

"I also want to know why." Prime Minister Gu stretched his arms and let the maid serve him to change clothes, while frowning coldly, "I'm afraid the emperor did it on purpose. He wanted to see whether I wanted to be the head of the state or the state. uncle."

Concubine Gu is his sister, so the person the Prime Minister's Office wants to support is naturally the fourth prince Mu Xiuyu, who is under the concubine's knee. If the fourth prince can ascend the throne in the future, the concubine will be promoted to the queen mother, and his uncle, the emperor, will be the uncle.

But the emperor gave his daughter in marriage to the sixth prince. If the sixth prince ascended the throne in the future, An Xian would be the queen, and he would be the queen's father and the emperor's father-in-law.

An imperial edict granting a marriage can easily put the Prime Minister in a dilemma, and it is very possible for him to turn against his sister.

The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, and it's true. Tianlai Novel Network

"How could this happen?" Mrs. Gu seemed as if the sky was falling, and she was so anxious that she couldn't help but say, "Not to mention that Xian'er doesn't like the sixth prince at all, from our family's standpoint, we can't marry Xian'er to the sixth prince. "

"Why don't I know?" After changing his clothes, Prime Minister Gu walked to the side and sat down in front of the soft couch. With a gloomy expression, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "But the emperor is angry, do I dare to resist?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Anxian was summoned and came in to greet his parents: "Father, mother."

"An Xian, have you done anything you shouldn't have done recently?" Prime Minister Gu raised his eyes and looked at his daughter, frowning tightly, "Tell the truth and don't hide it."

Gu Anxian felt uneasy: "Father, what's wrong?"

Prime Minister Gu's face darkened: "Tell me first, have you done anything you shouldn't have done?"

Gu Anxian unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand. Thinking of today's flower viewing party at Prince Yu's Mansion, her intuition told her that it should be related to Yan Li, but...

"An Xian, the emperor wants to marry you to the sixth prince." Mrs. Gu couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly told her daughter, "What on earth have you done? Why did the emperor suddenly grant you a marriage?"

Granting marriage to the sixth prince?

Gu Anxian's expression changed and she subconsciously said: "My daughter should not marry the Six Emperors——"

"This is the emperor's order. If you don't want it, why don't you?" Prime Minister Gu was furious, "I asked you what you have done recently, why don't you dare to tell me?"

"I..." Gu Anxian's heart sank, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy, "My daughter hasn't even left the house recently. She has no idea what happened..."

It must be Yan Li.

Mu Wenxuan is that good-for-nothing, a person who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!

"Yes, Xian'er hasn't gone out at all in the past two days." Mrs. Gu nodded, then frowned and guessed, "The emperor suddenly granted marriage, maybe it's not necessarily because Xian'er did something wrong. Sir, think about it again, is there anything wrong? Other signs?"

Hearing Gu Anxian's denial, Prime Minister Gu's anger softened slightly, "You really didn't do anything?"

"A daughter dare not deceive her father."

Mrs. Gu nodded repeatedly: "Xian'er has always known how to advance and retreat, and it's not like I don't know about it. There must be something hidden in this matter."

"Father." Seeing that he believed her words, Gu Anxian felt relieved and begged with red eyes, "Please think of a way. My daughter doesn't want to marry the sixth prince. The sixth prince is not stable at all, and he will never be able to sit on the throne of God in the future. , my daughter wants to marry the Ninth Prince, and my father knows that the Ninth Prince holds military power. Only with the support of the Ninth Prince, can my cousin win the battle for the heir apparent. Father—"

"Why don't I understand this? But it's you who has the final say on who to marry?" Prime Minister Gu interrupted her coldly, "The emperor granted you a marriage, can you refuse it?"

Gu Anxian's face turned pale and her eyes were red.

So she can only marry the sixth prince?
