The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
The emperor hadn't even said anything yet, so why did he object to it so vehemently? And the people who are against it are these three...
All of them are of high authority.
The first old lady was Gu Chengqian.
Everyone knows that he and his son are having a bit of a holiday. Wasn't Gu Juefei obstructing it a while ago when he was still facing the court? In the end, Lu Jiuling took a different approach and pulled Gu Juefei into the Ministry of Rites.
Surprisingly, he objected, but logically, it made perfect sense.
After all, who can tolerate the eldest son of his family who is going to inherit the family business and marry a widow? Not to mention that this widow is still the widow of the General's Mansion.
What should I do if I get married
How embarrassing is this!
So, it's no big deal.
But then, the problem arises-
The old lady is Gu Juefei's parent, and it is reasonable to object, but what happened to your Princess Yongning
After all the calculations, she only has a little relationship with the General's Mansion: Princess Yongning married the second son of the General's Mansion, Xue Huan, and now she is Lu Jinxi's aunt.
But now-
Xue still died in battle, and his aunt was still across the room.
No matter what, it's not her turn to object to this matter, right
Not to mention that the eldest Princess Yongning is actually a high-ranking and influential person. When she was in the court, she was an old fox, and seldom robbed the emperor in front of others.
But now she blurted out her objections, which is really surprising.
And whether it was Taishi Gu or her expression, there was a feeling of overreaction.
Although the ministers felt shocked by Gu Juefei's sudden request for marriage, it wouldn't be so disgusting, right
Here, the most puzzled is the third person, Lu Jiuling.
He was wearing a crane suit and stood a little behind Gu Chengqian. His face was wrinkled and his hair was much whiter. The surprise and confusion on his face had turned into complete confusion at this time.
Obviously he is Lu Jinxi's father.
Gu Juefei is now asking the emperor to marry him, isn't he the one who is most qualified to speak? How come people have already objected to him before he has finished speaking
The old man's face didn't look very good.
His eyes first fell on Gu Chengqian's face, and he scolded in his heart, and wanted to stand up and ask: You still dare to dislike our family Jinxi
But after all, in the courtroom, they knew each other and held back.
Then he turned his eyes and looked at Princess Yongning again.
This time he felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking that the eldest Princess Yongning supported Lu Jinxi's remarriage together with him, how come Gu Juefei came to propose marriage, but she opposed it instead
They, the surface alliance
When Lu Jiuling first heard about the marriage, she subconsciously felt inappropriate and wanted to object. After all, although Gu Juefei is good, he still doesn't know if his daughter likes it or not.
But now that he is opposed by these people, he is not happy.
"I'm afraid you have to be careful", which was about to be exported, but stayed on the tip of the tongue for a moment, but was swallowed back by him.
This time, everyone noticed the displeasure of the old man.
Although Gu Chengqian was a little unhappy with Lu Jiuling because of the fact that Gu Juefei was still an official, he still cared about the friendship between the two in his heart.
Fang Cai couldn't help but blurted out, but now that I think back, I know that what I said was inappropriate.
His face became a little embarrassed.
Do you really want him not to object
impossible.
Gu Chengqian knew in his heart that his eldest son was a monster with only painted skin, and he had long coveted Xue Kuang's widow, murdered her husband, and married a widow.
He couldn't tell Lu Jiuling everything about what happened back then, so the other party didn't know.
But now if he doesn't object to this marriage, then he will be free from his own conscience, and regardless of their friendship, it will really hurt his beloved jewel!
Therefore, Gu Chengqian is carrying a secret, but he can't tell it to the world, let alone say "my son is the real murderer who caused your daughter to be a widow for six years", so he can only bear the misunderstanding of his old friends, Oppose at all costs!
In the same way, this is also the difficulty of Princess Yongning.
Knowing those things back then, knowing Gu Jue's real face, knowing that he was the real murderer of Xue Kuang, that's all.
She hoped that Lu Jinxi would choose a good son-in-law and live in peace and happiness for the rest of her life.
Obviously, Gu Juefei, who was actually the one who killed her husband's enemy and had evil intentions, was definitely not included in this list.
This has nothing to do with right or wrong, or even the secret truth back then, it is purely because Gu Juefei harmed Xue Kuang.
Just imagine—
If one day, after marrying Gu Juefei, Lu Jinxi finds out that the current husband's poisonous scheme killed his former husband, how should he deal with it
Their objections are well-founded.
Therefore, facing Lu Jiuling's complicated gaze at this moment, they felt ashamed, but they could only grit their teeth and endure it, and were not prepared to change a word about it.
Not to mention turning to agree to give marriage.
The sun is already high outside, and the bright sunlight shines in from the outside, and the golden palace is full of splendor. But the more so, the more the silence at the moment is highlighted.
The generals on the side also looked at each other in dismay.
Of course, they also felt that Lu Jinxi's remarriage was inappropriate, especially Fang Shaoxing, but before they could speak, they were dumbfounded when they heard that the old lady and the eldest princess objected together.
Liu Jin could not understand the situation in front of him.
Fang Shao hesitated to speak, looked at it, his eyes turned around Lu Jinxi, who was obviously stunned, and finally resisted the urge to speak.
…
Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Che quietly.
On the throne engraved with the five-clawed golden dragon, Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che obviously did not expect such a scene.
"Gu Aiqing, life-long events are not child's play, do you take this seriously?"
Gu Juefei naturally heard the three opposing voices just now.
Just still in his expectations.
He didn't even raise his eyebrows, he just replied calmly, "I want to ask for the marriage of Lord Lu's only daughter Jin Xi. It's all sincerity and absolutely nothing false."
"… "
He no longer said "Grand General's wife Lu Jinxi", but "Lord Lu's only daughter Jinxi", which was clearly inevitable.
Lu Jinxi is really hard to describe how he feels at the moment.
Shock
absurd
Or, it really is.
He once said, "You can sleep until I lose."
Now it's really hard to fight to win.
It's just that she doesn't understand it very well. It's just that Gu Taishi objected. Why did Princess Yongning object so strongly
What I suddenly remembered was the day when Princess Yongning was testing her attitude towards Gu Juefei, and her vague fear of Gu Juefei.
So, it was immediately noticed.
In Lu Jinxi, in Gu Juefei, or between the two of them, there must be a big unknown secret hidden.
This secret is known to the eldest princess Yongning, the old lady Gu Chengqian, and even Gu Juefei himself.
But she doesn't know.
The glinting eyes lightly flowed.
Lu Jinxi couldn't help but glanced at Gu Juefei, only to see that he lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, with a serious look, and his heart became a little complicated.
Xiao Che, who was at the top, frowned.
He stared at Gu Juefei for a long time, noticed something from his rare solemnity and awe, and then slowly looked at Gu Taishi and Princess Yongning.
He knew what happened back then...
Whoever Gu Juefei wants to marry is not good, why is it Lu Jinxi
Xue Kuang's widow.
Said that he had no sinister intentions and plans, Xiao Che himself did not believe it very much.
But in this court, this is destined to be a secret, so he restrained his mind, pondered for a moment, and asked the ministers: "What do you think?"
You shouldn't ask the opinions of "all the ministers" about giving marriage.
All smart people know that this is to pass the words to Gu Taishi and Princess Yongning who were opposed to them earlier, so they didn't say anything, just looked at them.
Gu Chengqian really came out, with a tense face, bowed and said: "I don't think it's right. Lord Gu is a colleague of the minister in the upper court, but he is the son of the minister in the lower court, and the minister knows him very well. The general's wife is virtuous and virtuous. , Virtue is precious, and it is difficult for dogs to match, I am afraid that the entrusted by the general's wife will be inhuman, and this life will be made a mistake. Please, the emperor, think twice!"
The meaning of the words is very simple: he feels that his son Gu Juefei is not worthy of Lu Jinxi!
To be honest, this is a different person, I'm afraid that he is sarcastic, saying that Lu Jinxi is not worthy of his son, not worthy of his Gu family.
According to Gu Chengqian, it doesn't seem like a fake.
When everyone heard it, they only felt that the sense of strangeness was heavy, and they dared not speak.
Then came Princess Yongning.
She also objected to the gift of marriage, but the reason she said was different: "Since ancient times, it is common for men and women to love each other, and it is understandable that Gu Daren admires Lu's request for marriage. But this time, the situation is really special. General Xue Kuang The children are still young and need to be nurtured. If the emperor rashly grants marriage, he will only hurt the hearts of his children and damage their education. The other thing is, the situation of giving marriage eleven years ago, the emperor should know all too well."
This can be regarded as a sore spot.
Many of the generals on the right still had feelings for Xue Kuang and the General's Mansion. After hearing what Princess Yongning said, they all nodded.
Even Lu Jiuling was startled when she heard it.
Eleven years ago, Lu Jinxi and Xue Kuang brought together Lu Jinxi and Xue Kuang in that marriage, but they broke up the two couples.
Did not achieve a good relationship, but created a pair of grudges.
This is the royal sorry for Lu Jinxi.
This is also why Xiao Che is sorry for Lu Jinxi.
Princess Yongning is using the example of the year to remind him. But the court has been ups and downs for many years, and she is as smooth as her, and she will not let Xiao Che and Gu Juefei come to the stage.
Of course she has a back up.
Keeping it makes Xiao Che easy to do, and it also makes Gu Juefei give up!
On the graceful face with some traces of time, there was a faint smile on her face. What Princess Yongning thought of was the sentence Lu Jinxi said to her on the day she woke up not long ago.
The steadfast denial.
As long as Lu Jinxi doesn't like it, what can you do
So at this time, she just said leisurely: "Although the marriage is a matter of your own words, it must be your husband's love and concubine's intention. Now it is Master Gu's intention, but we don't know what Lu thinks in his heart. "Your Majesty, why don't you ask her opinion before making a decision?"
"Princess-"
When Gu Chengqian on the side heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but he remembered the scene he saw when he went to Huishengtang to see Gu Juefei.
Subconsciously, he felt that the idea was not right.
But Princess Yongning looked at him with such a hesitant and skeptical expression, and only thought that he didn't know the real situation on Lu Jinxi's side, and he was a little clueless.
So she just gave Gu Chengqian a look.
A look that reassured him and told him not to speak out against it.
Princess Yongning has never acted recklessly.
She knew what Gu Juefei was really about. Since she proposed to let Lu Jinxi choose, she should be quite sure.
So Gu Chengqian met her eyes and saw her confident smile, he was startled for a while, but he still didn't speak.
Right now.
Lu Jiuling didn't understand how things developed like this, but he was very satisfied with Gu Juefei.
Therefore, he also wanted to see what his daughter thought, so he didn't say anything against it.
The rest of the people don't come to this muddy water, and of course they won't speak.
So Xiao Che understood.
He glanced at Gu Juefei, hesitated for a moment, and thought that this is not sorry for Gu Juefei. After all, if Lu Jinxi didn't want to, he wouldn't be able to give him the marriage.
So he turned his eyes and looked directly at Lu Jinxi.
"The madam should have heard what Lord Gu and the eldest princess said just now. Now Gu Juefei intends to marry madam, please ask me to marry him."
"But I want to ask Mrs.-"
"Wish or not?"
