Gao Yan wants to see Gongsun Yu, but Lou Xiping disagrees and says that he is the emperor now and cannot go to see Gongsun Yu, but Gao Yan says that he still needs the support of the Gongsun family!
"Didn't you say that when you went to Yang's Mansion that day, there was a horse outside?"
"Is it Gongsun Yu?"
"Gongsun Yu went to see off the King of Jinan. At the same time, he was going to the Yang Mansion without the ability to clone himself. The horse was probably sent by Gongsun Yu. He might already know about your visit."
"I will accompany the emperor..."
"No, you go, I'm afraid of bad things..." After saying that, he asked, "Did you know that Tan Weike's mother often visits the Queen Mother recently?"
"They are sisters, and they should be in constant contact with each other. What does the Emperor think is wrong with your aunt visiting the Queen Mother?" Lou Xiping asked jokingly.
"You don't know why Wei Ke's mother went to see the Queen Mother?"
Lou Xiping didn't understand and asked, "Both of them are my aunts. Are they just chatting?"
"Since Gongsun Yu returned to Beijing, has Tan Wei been going to Gongsun Mansion?" Gao Yan reminded.
"Didn't I go there before? I went to look for her. I often heard my aunt say that she went to see the eldest lady of the Gongsun family..." He said with an angry look on his face.
Gao Yan did not beat around the bush and said, "Tan Wei can ask her mother to ask the Queen Mother to grant her a marriage to Gongsun Yu!"
Lou Xiping didn't bother to be angry at first. After listening to Gao Yan's speech, he asked in surprise, "What? Marriage? Then...did the Queen Mother agree?" He asked nervously.
"The Queen Mother was afraid of the power of the Gongsun family. During the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Gongsun family could control the court and was as deep-rooted as a big tree. After all, the Northern Qi Dynasty was a new dynasty that was not long ago. Fortunately, Gongsun Dan did not like power, and Gongsun Yu had no desire for power. The Northern Qi Dynasty If you want it to last long, you need the support of the Gongsun family..."
Gao Yan sighed and added, "The Empress Dowager Tan Weike has liked her since she was a child. The Gongsun family's influence in Northern Qi is not much smaller than that of the royal family. If they were relatives of the emperor..." Gao Yan was really worried about the throne he had snatched.
Lou Xiping hurriedly said, "I will also go to my father and ask him to ask the Queen Mother for my marriage."
"Don't talk about it for now. The Queen Mother has been having a headache these days because Gongsun Yu doesn't support me... However, you can go and visit."
Lou Xiping responded and exited.
When Luan Yue came to Bo Yunxuan and said that the emperor was here, they naturally knew it was Gao Yan.
Gao Yan came in dressed in casual clothes. After Gongsun Yu and Qi'er saluted, Gao Yan said to them, "Go out in casual clothes today, don't be formal."
Gongsun Yu asked Gao Yan to take a seat, and Qi'er made tea for Gao Yan and Gongsun Yu.
Gao Yan looked at Gongsun Yu and said, "It seems that the medicine in the palace is not as good as that in Gongsun Mansion. They have not been healed for some time. I thought that the medicine you gave me in Liangzhou was really useful. I wonder if there is any more in the palace?" Gao Yan looked at Gongsun Yu. Yan asked, raising his injured hand, his words were very modest.
Gongsun Yu understood what he meant. He was not asking for ointment, but he was clearly here to win over him. After all, his family was a prominent family. He had just ascended the throne and his principles were not correct. He wanted to get support from the Gongsun family and tested himself by asking for ointment.
Gongsun Yu pretended not to understand and said, "Unfortunately, the ointment has been used up. I haven't had time to make it since I haven't been in the house for many days."
Gao Yan was a little embarrassed and said with a smile, "Master Yu is still the same as before."
"Your Majesty knows that I have always been like this, don't blame me!" After speaking, Gongsun Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Gao Yan saw that Gongsun Yu really had no intention of surrendering to him. He and Gongsun Yu had known each other for a long time, understood Gongsun Yu's character, knew how to win over him and would not change his mind, and naturally he had his own plans in mind.
Gao Yan saw Qi'er standing aside with a hand stove and said with a smile, "You helped me last time and I haven't thanked you yet? Tell me, what do you want?"
"It's a little effort... Actually it doesn't help much, Mr. Yu has helped a lot..." Qi'er said to Gongsun Yu.
"His help is his help. I mean your help. What do you want?" Qi'er looked at her carefully and asked.
"No need..." Qi'er was embarrassed to see Gao Yan staring at her like this, so she took a step back and lowered her head.
Seeing that Qi'er noticed the way he was looking at her, Gao Yan deliberately found a topic and asked, "The stove in your hand is very delicate."
"Master Yu gave it as a gift..." Qi'er replied.
"A hand stove so early? Isn't it cold in this room?" Gao Yan said, feeling Boyunxuan's temperature.
"I have a cold constitution, so it's suitable for me to use it early in the morning." Qi'er answered.
"You have lost weight..."
Gongsun Yu couldn't stand it anymore, Gao Yan looked at Qi'er with such attentive eyes. He came over and said, "The emperor really deserves to reward Qi'er."
When Gao Yan heard this, he was thinking about how to reward Qi'er and asked, "What's the appropriate reward?"
"Last time, Qi'er tainted his innocence because he saved the emperor. The innocence of my daughter's family is so important. I and Qi'er also went to the church to get married with the emperor's testimony. If the emperor can grant marriage to Qi'er and Chen, I and Qi'er will definitely be grateful. ..." Gongsun Yu said sincerely, he thought that if the emperor granted them a marriage, their parents and clan would not look down on Qi'er.
Gao Yan paused for a moment. He didn't know whether he should let go of a woman he liked and win the support of Gongsun Yu, a prominent family? Apparently the latter is more valuable?
"It was just acting... Mr. Yu, why did you mention it again?" Qi'er said awkwardly, thinking that she was leaving here. If it was a wedding, only the groom would be less embarrassed than the bride.
"I'm not acting. I have always married sincerely. I married the young lady of the Gongsun family..." Gongsun Yu looked at Qi'er and said seriously.
Seeing the sincerity in Gongsun Yu's eyes, Qi'er was really afraid that she would be smitten by him and agreed, so she quickly lowered her head without looking up.
Gao Yan saw Qi'er's blushing face and hurriedly said, "Gongsun Yu, you see Qi'er is already shy. Don't mention this matter for now..."
"Three matchmakers and six beauties went to the wedding hall to get married. How can we not mention it? I am not a person who always gives up..." Gongsun Yu said what he said was reasonable and well-founded. Qi'er felt like he was the one whose marriage was bombed?
Gao Yan couldn't say anything else and could only find an excuse to say that he had something to do when he returned to the palace.
When Gao Yan returned to the palace, Lou Xiping went out from the Queen Mother Lou. When he heard that Gao Yan had returned to the palace, he went to find Gao Yan.
Lou Xiping saluted Gao Yan and asked, "The emperor went to Gongsun Yu, what was the result?"
"Gongsun Yu is still unwilling to be used by me. The King of Jinan is still alive. If the Gongsun family supports him in the future, can my position be stable?" Gao Yan analyzed worriedly.
"I just said that the King of Jinan is a scourge and should have been removed a long time ago. The emperor still thought of his uncle and nephew and enfeoffed him to Jinan. Do you regret it now?" Lou Xiping said.
"The reason for not killing the King of Jinan is not only for the sake of uncle-nephew love, but also to win over Gongsun Yu. After all, Gongsun Yu has always been loyal to him. But when I went to Gongsun Mansion today, Gongsun Yu didn't take me seriously at all. The King of Jinan is young now. In time, he will With full wings and the support of the Gongsun family...the consequences will be disastrous." Gao Yan said fearfully.
"It's not easy to go to Jinan and kill Gao Yin now, right? Gongsun Yu secretly sent people to protect Gao Yin? There are many literati and warriors in Gongsun Yu's Jingyi Pavilion who are willing to serve Gongsun Yu. There are still quite a few. The main reason is that it is difficult to guard against secretly..."
"The Queen Mother used to place a beauty next to Gao Yin, and she was very favored by the King of Jinan. She had never used it in the palace before, but now she can use it..."
"Your Majesty...what do you mean?"
"If you can solve it with your brain, don't use force." Seeing that Lou Xiping still didn't understand, You said, "What's the use of having many masters to protect the secrets of the boudoir? Just one sentence, a glass of wine, what's the use of masters?"
Lou Xiping understood and said, "I will make arrangements now."
Gao Yan worriedly said, "You must make arrangements carefully and use the people you trust most." Thinking about the incident at Blackpool Cliff, he worriedly told Lou Xiping.
Lou Xiping promised to leave.
After Gao Yan left, Qi'er thought that she still had the jade unicorn given by Gongsun Yu, so she hurriedly took it off to return it to Gongsun Yu and said, "Give it back to you! I wanted to return it to you a few days ago. Because of Cai Wei, I also forget···"
"How can I take back what I gave away? This is my betrothal gift. You and I have worshiped heaven and earth. You are also my wife in name. However, I am afraid that your parents will not agree with your status, so I asked the emperor to grant marriage to you and me..."
Qi'er didn't wait for Gongsun Yu to finish, but interrupted, "It was just acting..."
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yu was very serious. "For you, it's an acting, but for me, it's a real couple's courtship. Qi'er, I don't want you to be a concubine." Gongsun Yu knew that his mother approved of Tan Weike.
Qi'er knew that the status of concubines in ancient times was not as high as that of head wives. Seeing Gongsun Yu's serious look, Qi'er didn't dare to look directly at him. After thinking for a long time, he deliberately asked, "You don't plan to serve the current emperor. When can you take Nether Lotus?" Give me?"
"Be my woman, and everything in Gongsun's mansion will be yours." Gongsun Yu asked tentatively, but in a firm tone. Because he knows that Qi'er is not from here, then if she has Netherworld Lotus, won't she just leave here?
Qi'er was shocked when he heard this. This young man who was cold and arrogant in the eyes of outsiders clearly looked like a bad boy in front of him. Although he knew that Gongsun Yu looked cold on the outside, he was still very considerate towards him. She knows that Gongsun Yu likes her, but she actually likes this young master who is cold on the outside and dotes on her sometimes...
I live in a relatively open era, but this topic is still a bit unacceptable. Is it because I have been here for a long time and my thoughts have become dusty? But if you can really get the Nether Lotus, should you consider it? Anyway, no one knows what we did here when we go back? Even if the husband she finds in the future knows that she is not a virgin, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Gongsun Yu is indeed a beauty in a girl's heart. With such a good handsome man, I am not at a disadvantage, but... I am in a dilemma.
Gongsun Yu saw her eyes moving up and down and knew that she was in trouble. Gongsun Yu didn't want to give Nether Lotus to Qi'er. If he gave it to Qi'er, would she not care about me? Or maybe she never cared about me? Gongsun Yu turned pale, "Why don't I give it to you before you figure it out?" After saying that, he left.
"Wait a moment···"
Seeing Gongsun Yu's ugly face, Qi'er pretended to be calm, mustered up the courage to cover up her embarrassment and said, "Isn't it just to consummate the marriage? I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen pork..."
Gongsun Yu's cold eyes scared Qi'er to the point where he immediately swallowed his words!
"Do you really think what I want is your commitment? What I want is not a couple for a day...I want someone who can stay with me for a lifetime." Gongsun Yu confessed sincerely and tenderly.
Qi'er listened to Gongsun Yu's words and watched his affectionate eyes staring directly at her. Although she was a little shy, she was really happy inside. She did not dare to accept Gongsun Yu's love, so she resisted the shy joy and turned her head to the side.
Qi'er knew that Gongsun Yu was good to her, but...if she had Netherworld Lotus, she could leave at any time. Even though Gongsun Yu was too good to her, she didn't want to hurt him, or she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave at that time...
When Gongsun Yu thought about Agui marrying Caiwei, he really envied him. Their marriage was really not something he had imagined.
Gongsun Yu said to himself in despair, "I didn't give you the Nether Lotus you wanted. I was selfish. I knew that as long as I gave it to you, I might never see you again in my life. It's not that I don't want to part with it as a treasure, but I'm afraid of losing it forever. you."
Gongsun Yu felt very sad when he saw Qi'er's refusal.
"I originally thought that you would not leave here for someone. It seems that it was all wishful thinking on my part. I am afraid I have no place in your heart, right? You are only showing favor to me because I have what you want in my hand. Otherwise, would you know who I am?" Gongsun Yu muttered to himself in despair.
Qi'er understood the meaning of Gongsun Yu's words, yes! The person who gave Nether Lotus to her would leave here and here forever. Do you want to say that Gongsun Yu really doesn't have a place in her heart? She could deceive herself but she couldn't deceive her heart.
