Gu Huaijiang's complexion was abnormal for a moment, and he recovered quickly.
Could it be that what he told Emperor Ning last time was not clear enough? It's still Emperor Ning who fears him so much that he insists on marrying Princess Danyang to Gu Shubai to rest assured...
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My wife has died of illness for many years. During these years, I have been fighting north and south, and I have no time to worry about the children's affairs. Now that I have free time, I will definitely listen to the children's wishes and choose the wife I like for them."
The wife you like
The implication of these words is that Guhou's mansion doesn't care about the family background when marrying a daughter-in-law, it just depends on whether the young masters like it or not
This made some women in the seat with ordinary family background but beautiful appearance or exquisite talents happy.
If His Majesty were to designate marriages according to their family background, they would probably not be noticed by His Majesty, and the one pointed to Gu Shubai would most likely be Princess Danyang.
Apart from the royal family, who else could match Guhou's mansion
After Master Gu said this, they actually had hope.
When Princess Danyang heard this, her heart trembled, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Shubai, only to see that he was carefully peeling grapes for Yufu to eat.
Not only did he peel off the skins of the grapes, but he also used small silver chopsticks to remove the seeds before sending them to Yufu's bowl.
How could he be the dignified son of Guhou's mansion to do such delicate work of serving people? !
Her hands were slowly clenched under the table, and the thin silk handkerchief in her hand was almost torn into two pieces by her.
Emperor Ning raised his eyelids, gave Gu Huaijiang a meaningful look, and pointed at him with a smile, "You, you, what you said is to tell me not to let me mess up the mandarin ducks, right?"
These words seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making it difficult for people to tell whether he was happy or angry, whether it was true or false.
There was a moment of silence in the seat, Gu Huaijiang was about to get up to plead guilty, but Emperor Ning had already burst out laughing and winked at him.
"Don't worry, you told me last time, I remember! I can be regarded as Shubai's uncle, so why don't you care about their marriage? Shubai, if you have a woman you like, you must tell me, I marry you!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought that Emperor Ning insisted on meddling in the marriage affairs of the Marquis Gu's mansion, but he just wanted to bestow a marriage.
Gu Houye refused to let him point out the marriage, and he was eager to ask for an errand to give him a marriage. His hot face insisted on sticking to Gu Houye's cold ass, this scene made people envious.
Among these courtiers, who is not proud of His Majesty's gift of marriage
There was only him, Lord Gu, and His Majesty was chasing after him, begging for a marriage for his child!
"Yes, if I have a woman I like, I will definitely ask His Majesty to marry us."
Then he didn't ask for a marriage right now, so he didn't have a favorite woman, right
Princess Danyang couldn't hold back her face, and she became more and more unhappy seeing the happy faces of the noble ladies present.
Could it be that her feelings for Gu Shubai these years are so insignificant that he refuses to consider her thoughts at all
Doesn't he know how sad he will make himself...
"Your Majesty is only thinking about the young masters of Gu Hou's mansion. I remember, the eldest son of Prime Minister Yin's family is as old as Gu Hou's son, right?"
Concubine Xian carefully noticed Princess Danyang's expression, smiled slightly, and changed the topic to Yin Shuo.
Yu Fu was eating grapes, when he heard a familiar name, he raised his head and looked opposite.
Yin Shuo was sitting with a middle-aged man with sharp eyes. He had protruding cheekbones and a bare face, looking quite mean.
Presumably, it was Prime Minister Yin, who was jokingly called "Eagle Eye" by the officials in the court, and he really had a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes.
There is a young and beautiful woman behind them, probably Yin Shuo's younger sister, she looks about the same age as Princess Danyang, but she was born with a graceful and graceful appearance like Liu Fufeng, not as round as Princess Danyang.
Hearing Concubine Xian's words at first, Yin Shuo was startled, and Emperor Ning had already taken up the conversation, "Yes, if you don't tell me, I'd have forgotten. Prime Minister Yin, did your eldest son promise marriage?"
Emperor Ning was very interested in being a matchmaker tonight, presumably because all the princes and young ladies who were close to the court were present, and he wanted to take the opportunity to make a list of mandarin ducks.
This is also an old trick of palace banquets.
Yin Yan pondered for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Going back to Your Majesty, there is no one to choose yet. This child is devoted to studying and is determined to devote himself to the court and serve the country. He doesn't want to marry a wife to distract his attention, and the minister can't do anything about him."
What this means is that he does not need Emperor Ning to marry him.
Yin Shuo glanced at Yin Yan, then lowered his eyes calmly.
Although he didn't say this, it was a good thing that Yin Yan rejected the Holy Majesty's proposal of marriage for him.
He picked up the wine glass casually to hide his expression, and glanced at the opposite side again.
Among the seats in Guhou Mansion, Yu Fu and Gu Shubai sat together affectionately, laughing very lively without knowing what to say.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
This brother and sister are not biological, so close - is it appropriate
Looking at Princess Danyang's face next to her, she clenched her silver teeth and restrained herself, obviously thinking of something with herself.
Emperor Ning stroked his beard, not angry at Yin Yan's tactful rejection.
In fact, he had high hopes for Yin Shuo and hoped that he could take Yin Yan's place in the future, so he naturally didn't want to point out a marriage to him casually.
It is well known in the court that Dong Ling's generals do not agree with each other. If the two families of generals and prime ministers can marry each other, wouldn't this deadlock be completely broken
His gaze slowly turned to Yufu who was eating grapes, the little girl with red lips and white teeth smiled sweetly.
But this matter can only be brought up when Yufu is older.
