The news of the emperor's decree to give marriage has spread throughout the city for a while, and almost everyone knows about it.As soon as this news came out, many people were surprised.The Ten Princes have always been outstanding in the court, and many ministers are optimistic about the princes, and those ministers are thinking about marrying their daughters to the Ten Princes, but now the emperor suddenly decreed marriage, so that those ministers who have a heart have nothing to do.I was thinking about what opportunity to let my daughter have more contact with the Ten Princes, but now I don't even have a chance.In the city, all the prefectures are talking about it.After Wan Qiumei in the Gu Mansion got the news, the whole person could be said to be shocked: "How could it be so sudden, why was there no news at all before?"
”"Mrs.
Hui, this slave doesn't know."
The handmaid replied from one side.Wan Qiumei sat on the main seat, her body was straight, and she still looked dignified and generous, but in fact, Wan Qiumei was now anxious like an ant on a hot pot!
Wan Qiumei put one hand on the table next to her, and muttered anxiously, how could it be so sudden!
There was no news at all before, why did the emperor suddenly decree marriage!
The key is that the candidate for the imperial concubine is not his daughter!
Wan Qiumei thought about letting Gu Rui marry the Ten Princes, but now it is empty!
Thinking of her daughter, Wan Qiumei's heart was full of upset discussions, if she let her daughter delay like this again, I am afraid that several other princes will also be preempted.Thinking of this, Wan Qiumei immediately got up and walked towards Gu Rui's courtyard.Now, don't think about Gu Lian if she is completely ruined, all this hope can only be pinned on her little daughter.Although the sons of other ministers are not bad, only by marrying the prince and becoming the imperial concubine will there be a greater possibility in the future, right?
The sky was still snowing, the maidservant held an umbrella, and Wan Qiumei walked to Gu Rui's courtyard with extremely fast steps.There was no one in the courtyard, so Wan Qiumei entered Gu Rui's room."
Rui'er!"
Wan Qiumei called.Gu Rui was standing in front of a potted plant, pruning with a pair of scissors in her hand, and when she heard the voice, she paused her movements and replied: "Mother!"
”"Rui'er, why do you still have the heart to prune flowers and plants here, come here, my mother has something to tell you!"
Wan Qiumei's anxiety was undisguised, she took a step forward, dodged the scissors in Gu Rui's hand, and pulled Gu Rui to sit aside.Regarding Wan Qiumei's movements, Gu Rui pursed her lips with some displeasure, but she still sat opposite Wan Qiumei obediently: "Mother, what do you want to say?"
”"Have you heard of the emperor's decree to marry the tenth prince and Wen Ziyi of the Wuding Marquis Mansion?""
I've heard that, isn't it all over the city now?"
Gu Rui said indifferently.When Wan Qiumei heard this, she immediately became anxious: "I know that you are still so calm!"
You see, the positions of the Ten Imperial Princesses are now someone else's, how can you still prune flowers and plants in the house so indifferently!
”Wan Qiumei's face was anxious, and there was a bit of blame in her words."
I don't want to be the tenth princess, what does it have to do with me at this time?"
She just wants to be Princess Rui, and nothing else."
What's the matter with you kid, you don't even want to be the tenth princess, what else do you want?"
Gu Rui pursed her lips and looked up at Wan Qiumei: "Mother, now that the emperor has issued a holy decree to give marriage, and the ten imperial concubines have decided on the candidates, what are you still here to tell me." ”"My mother came here to tell you to hurry up!
Now the position of the Ten Imperial Concubines has been vacated, but the positions of other Imperial Concubines are still there!
The Ten Princes were originally the most preferred candidates for the mother, but now that the emperor has given marriage, it can only be done, but like the Third Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Ninth Prince are all good candidates!
”Wan Qiumei was bent on making her daughter the imperial concubine, what an honor it was.Wan Qiumei was very excited when she said it, but the expression on Gu Rui's face was always faint, and even after Wan Fan said this, she didn't say anything."
Rui'er, have you heard what my mother said!
Could it be that you still want to be an old girl?
Now that your sister has been ruined, your mother's hopes, and our Gu Fu's hopes are pinned on you, you can't let your mother down!
”Wan Qiumei looked at Gu Rui and said earnestly.Gu Rui was a little annoyed when she heard this, but she didn't show anything, but replied: "Mother, don't worry, I know!"
”"You can't take it lightly this time, you'll have to do it earlier!"
Wan Qiumei admonished again."
Yes, I know!"
Seeing Gu Rui's promise, Wan Qiumei was relieved, stretched out her hand and patted Gu Rui's hand gently: "Rui'er, you are my mother's hope, my mother believes in you!"
”Wan Qiumei said two more words, and then left the Stamen Courtyard.Wan Qiumei has always attached great importance to her two daughters, but now that Gu Lian can't use it, she puts all her expectations on Gu Rui.Her two daughters, she has been carefully teaching and cultivating, and I believe that Gu Rui will not let herself down.Watching Wan Qiumei leave, Gu Rui felt inexplicably upset.The expectation in Wan Qiumei's heart, Gu Rui understood in her heart, it was just a man who had a heart in her heart, and she didn't want anything else except the position of Princess Rui.It's just that position, which seems to be not far from him, is actually very far away.Why is it so difficult to stand by Xie Jinghuai's side?
Gu Rui has always been self-conscious, and in her eyes she can't accommodate other men except Xie Jinghuai, but Wan Qiumei's words are not unreasonable, if she drags it out any longer, she will really become an old girl.It's just that every time she thinks of Xie Jinghuai's handsome face, Gu Rui doesn't want to give up so easily.After sitting in the room and pondering for a long time, Gu Rui called: "Picturesque." ”"Miss, the slave is here."
The picture immediately responds to the channel."
Come here, I have something to do for you."
Gu Rui beckoned to Ruhua, and when Ruhua walked to his side, he said: "Investigate the few princes in the palace who have not yet married, and if you need some silver, just ask me directly." ”The words that Mrs.
Fang Cai and her own lady said were picturesque and listened, and combined with the decision of the young lady so far, it seems that the words of the lady have taken effect.Thinking like this in her heart, Ruhua immediately said: "Yes, miss, the slave understands!"
”Gu Rui took a deep breath and instructed Ruhua to do so, as if he had made a very big decision.Gently closing his eyes, what appeared in his mind was Xie Jinghuai's handsome and upright appearance, and a weak smile appeared on the corner of Gu Rui's lips.The man who loves him deeply, if she really can't stand by your side, then she must choose a man who can bring her supreme glory and status.Since she can't choose the person she loves, then she chooses power and honor.()
