Chapter 4 My daughter is willing "Miss, please!" In front of the opened curtain, a person came out of the door, passed his hand in, and stepped aside.
He was Xu's servant who served Emperor Chongning closely, and he was also an old that big cry, Gillian had completely made up her mind. Now that she was back, she would meet countless old friends. She was prepared. However, her heart was slightly agitated, but it didn't show on her face at all. She nodded lightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu!" He stepped inside.
Waiter Xu looked at her back and was confused for a 't the rumors say that the young lady from Jiyang Prince's Palace was timid and cowardly, and could not stand up to the stage?Why does he seem to be so elegant and well behaved?This was an audience with a holy face, but she wasn't nervous at all. It seemed like it was a common occurrence.
Gillian was used to it, but she was not at all had come to this royal study often when she was young, but every time it was different from this time.
Taking a deep breath, she turned around and looked up to see the bright yellow figure sitting behind the imperial desk. Her eyes suddenly felt hot. She quickly lowered her eyes, gathered her skirt and knelt down, "I have seen your majesty! Long live your majesty." ." Her voice was slightly hoarse. Emperor Chongning and the waiter Xu who came in later thought she was nervous in front of the saint. The waiter Xu also felt that this should be the case. After all, it was normal to turn around and face the saint.
"Get up!" Emperor Chongning's voice was as gentle as in his memory.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gillian calmed down and stood up, but she couldn't control her eyes and looked behind the imperial case Chongning was thin, and his dragon robe, which must have been newly made in the summer, seemed a bit too wide on him, and his face was not very good... It turned out that the emperor's uncle was already in poor health at that time. , why didn’t she notice it at all?When Gillian was in a trance, she met a pair of eyes unexpectedly. She was startled and quickly looked away, lowered her eyes, knelt down and said, "I am innocent, your Majesty." She should always be vigilant. She is not Li Fengjiao now. He will not be favored by the emperor's uncle, and any wrong move will be fatal.
Fortunately, Emperor Chongning has always been a tolerant and kind-hearted person. Hearing this, he smiled and waved his hand, "Speaking of which, you should call me cousin. We are all one family, so there is no need to be too rigid."
Gillian didn't dare to take it seriously. Although Fu Mingyi's surname was Fu, she was far less noble than Li Fengjiao, and she couldn't be a little presumptuous in front of the emperor, so she just stood with her hands lowered and her eyebrows lowered, not daring to be rude at all. , but she could still feel Emperor Chongning's appraising gaze on her.
"You look weak and slender, but I didn't expect that it was you who rescued Jiaojiao from the lake that day. It seems that you have a sense of justice in your bones, just like your grandfather, who has the demeanor of a general." Although Emperor Chongning's eyes were He was looking at it clearly, but he was still gentle. After looking at it for a while, he smiled and said.
Gillian was in a trance now. It turned out that the Gao family was born in a general, no wonder. It was able to impress all the dandies in the Prince of Jiyang's palace.
"Have you never thought about why I summoned you today?" Emperor Chongning was silent for a moment and then asked with a smile.
Gillian naturally knew, but she couldn't know, so she buried her head two inches deeper, "My daughter is terrified."
Emperor Chongning chuckled twice, but unexpectedly he started coughing. Gillian hurriedly raised her eyes and saw that Emperor Chongning was coughing violently, and her expression showed some concern Chongning regained his breath and happened to catch her eyes. After a moment of confusion, his expression became softer and said, "You are a good boy." He praised Gillian first, then looked at Gillian and lowered her eyes. Then he said, "Are you afraid that you don't know why Jiaojiao fell into the water at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet that day?"
Since Gillian didn't know, she just remained Chongning didn't need her to answer at all, but he paused briefly and added, "I'm not afraid to tell you. I looked for a marriage for Jiaojiao, but she didn't want it, so that was the reason why she made such a fuss. But This marriage is indeed a good one. It just so happens that you saved Jiaojiao and you are also in a boudoir, so I was thinking..."
The following words were not spoken, but both the speaker and the listener knew enough, it was exactly the same as what she secretly heard in that she thought of this, Gillian subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the screen behind the imperial desk. Sure enough, she saw a familiar skirt, and Li Fengjiao was hiding there.
"Why don't you speak? But don't you want to?" Her silence obviously misunderstood Emperor Chongning, and his tone became a little deeper, adding two points of imperial authority.
That was the case at that time. The real Fu Mingyi was timid and cowardly. After entering the imperial study room, her legs trembled and she knelt down. How could she dare to say no?She sincerely agreed. As for what she was thinking in her heart, it is unknown. She was probably unwilling to do so. After all, she thought about how good a marriage would be if Li Fengjiao didn't even want it. If Li Fengjiao didn't want it, would she agree to it?But Li Fengjiao could make His Majesty change his mind, so how could she, Fu Mingyi, have the ability to make His Majesty take back his life?Therefore, no matter how unwilling or aggrieved I am, I can only accept it.
At this time, Gillian had known that this was going to happen, and she did not feel aggrieved at all, but... "Your Majesty has always loved Princess Changning, so it is good for her to choose thousands of marriages for her. I have chosen a great one." It's cheap, but isn't Your Majesty afraid that the princess will regret it in the future?" If she were reborn before the Dragon Boat Festival, she would definitely find a way to facilitate the marriage, but now it is too late.
"Jiaojiao really doesn't want to, and even does such a thing, I have no choice. Even if Jiaojiao changes her mind, or I force her to marry off, marriage is a good thing for two people, and what Jiaojiao did is After all, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested. There is no airtight wall in this world. Sooner or later, Xue Lin will hear about it. How can he not mind? The separation of husband and wife is contrary to my original intention. So, let's forget it!" Emperor Chongning sighed. I unknowingly expressed my true feelings to Gillian.
Xue Lin won’t!For a moment, Gillian could hardly help but blurt out these words, but when she reached her lips, she held it back.
In that nightmare, even in a more unbearable situation, he could ignore the past grudges and still be willing to be entrusted by her and act loyally, so even though they had never really met, she never saw him clearly until her death. But she knew his appearance better than anyone else and firmly believed in his is a truly broad-minded and great husband who can accept mountains and rivers, and he will not be so petty as to hold grudges for her refusal to she couldn't say this. After a while, she could only say, "Your Majesty sincerely thinks about Princess Changning." This sentence was sincere, but she didn't understand it at the corner of his eye quietly glanced behind the screen, and he wondered, did Li Fengjiao understand and understand now?
Emperor Chongning seemed to sigh, "I was thinking about Jiaojiao, but I also felt helpless. This marriage was a must-do, and Jiaojiao was originally the best candidate, but she didn't want to, so I could only do it." Choose another person from the royal family... If you agree, I can make you the princess, or you can be your father and brother..."
"Your Majesty!" Gillian raised her voice slightly, "I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"
"Are you willing?" Emperor Chongning paused, but felt a little unsure.
"My daughter is a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a relative of the royal family. I should share your majesty's worries in public. In private life, Governor Xue is my great Zhou Dynasty hero and a great husband in the army. He is a good man and a good match. I long for him. Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Accomplished!"
