Chapter 266 I want to marry the prince (two in one)

Jing and Di still didn't speak, Jiang Xueru's face was pale, and she was on the verge of falling.He looked at the prince with fear and hope in his eyes.

The prince's face was in a daze for a moment, and he couldn't help but blurted out: "Father, son..."

Jing and Di waved their hands to stop him, and the scene was silent for a while.

For some reason, Lu Jingshu was a little apprehensive at this situation.Looking at the calm Shen Mingjiao, he couldn't help shrinking behind her.

From her angle, she happened to catch a glimpse of the flickering smile on the corner of Jiang Xueru's mouth after hearing the prince speak.

She clenched her fists angrily.
This shameless woman!

Looking at the pale and distressed prince again, he couldn't help but feel sympathy and anger at being calculated.

When the atmosphere in the hall became more and more silent, Eunuch Li walked in.

"Your Majesty, the servant has already ordered someone to check. The incense used in the palace is all right. The prince went to that palace on a temporary basis, and Miss Jiang accidentally fell down and stained her dress while climbing the rockery..."

All clues determined that all this was just a coincidence.The prince was drunk, and Jiang Xueru just broke in.

After Jing and Di heard it, they said "um" without seeing their expressions, and did not continue to ask, but looked at the prince:

"Qi Yu, what are your plans?"

The crown prince glanced at Jiang Xueru, took a deep breath, and said: "Everything is caused by my minister, and I am willing to take responsibility for marrying Miss Jiang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing and Di interrupted him again. "Well, as a man, it's good to know how to be responsible."

The Jiang family's father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help being excited, but they heard Jing and Di continue:
"However, as a concubine, Miss Jiang's status is lower after all. For the sake of Jiang Aiqing's hard work for the court, she can barely be a good prince."

When it comes to "hard work and hard work", a coldness flashed across Jing and Di's eyes, and he looked at Master Jiang lightly after speaking:
"What does Jiang Aiqing think?"

Facing Shang Jing and Di's deep gaze that couldn't see emotions, Master Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and after realizing it, he seemed to have done something wrong.

But things have come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the end. "Everything is up to His Majesty."

As long as his daughter can marry into the East Palace, and the prince is a long-term lover, even if he can't be the prime minister this time, he will still have a chance when the prince ascends the throne in the future.

Jing and Emperor nodded, and immediately ordered someone to draw up an order.

Jiang Xueru was a little disappointed in her heart, she thought she was so troublesome.At least she can be named a good concubine.

But it doesn't matter, there are no other concubines in the East Palace. When she enters the mansion, as long as she wins over the prince, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Now that the matter was finished, Jing and Di stood up and signaled what they should do.

Looking at all this, Lu Jingshu, who has always hated evil, really gritted her teeth in hatred.

When the two of them passed by, Jiang Xueru turned her head and showed her a faint smile, like a provocative show off of a winner.

If it weren't for the presence of the emperor and empress, Lu Jingshu couldn't help but rush forward and beat him up.

She couldn't help turning her head to look at the prince, but saw the prince staring blankly at the void, his face was pale, and his expression was painful and lonely.

Sometimes this kind of melancholy boy attracts the attention of ignorant little girls the most.

The prince seemed to feel that she was looking at him, raised his head and pulled his lips reluctantly at her.

For some reason, looking at such a prince, Lu Jingshu's heart felt sour for no reason, and she felt that if she could make the other person show off her face, she could do whatever she wanted.

She even unilaterally believed that everything was done by Jiang Xueru, and that the prince was just innocently designed.

At this moment, she suddenly had a bold idea.

She wants to save this man, and she wants to be a princess.

Shen Mingjiao at the side didn't notice her strangeness, but frowned with a thoughtful expression on her face.

She went over everything that happened tonight in her mind, even though everything seemed reasonable.But she always felt that there was a slight violation.

In normal times, she has always been too lazy to get involved in such things that have nothing to do with herself.But now Shuo'er lives in the palace,

She couldn't help but think about everything.

……

A group of people walked out of this palace, and Lu Jingshu was the last one. When the emperor and empress left,

She hurried a few steps to her father, General Lu, tugged at the hem of his robe, and called "Daddy" sweetly.

General Lu was born with five big and three rough, which is a typical general's appearance.The daughter who was held in the palm of his hand acted like a baby, and the heart of the old father was about to melt.

But she still had to work hard to keep a straight face and cough lightly: "Speak well, what do you want? I declare in advance that all the money is in your mother's hands."

Lu Jingshu curled her lips: "Look at what you said, Dad, I can't just miss you!"

General Lu gave his daughter a blank look: "Tell me, what is it?"

Lu Jingshu rubbed her face uncomfortably: "Well... Daddy thinks that your daughter is getting older and it's time to get married!"

General Lu raised his eyebrows, and looked at her with some novelty: "You are finally enlightened, tell me, which lord is it!"

While talking, I unconsciously started to plan: "Don't be some kind of entangled noble family, with your temperament, there will definitely be no scum left. If the status is not high, let's see if you can get someone to marry. The child's surname is It doesn't matter what, we have to try to feel at ease..."

He was talking vigorously to himself, and even thought of the name of his grandson in the future.

Lu Jingshu interrupted him unexpectedly: "I want to marry the prince."

"What did you say..."

General Lu bit his tongue in shock, the pain made him grit his teeth.

But he couldn't control these things, and tentatively said cautiously: "My good girl! You... What the hell are you doing!"

Lu Jingshu stared at her father seriously: "I'm serious."

General Lu took a deep breath:
"My daughter! Listen to me, if you really like someone like the prince, after you get back, daddy will help you find ten or eight of them, but... you and the prince... you two are really not suitable!"

Lu Jingshu didn't care, and said firmly, "I'm going to marry the prince, I...I like him."

General Lu stared at the empress and his party who had gone and returned.He desperately signaled his daughter to stop talking.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Jingshu to comprehend the collapse of her father's heart. All she could think about was the gentle and smiling handsome face, and the melancholy and lonely eyes in his eyes, so she couldn't help but become more determined in her words:

"I really like him. Daddy, can you go talk to the prince? Ask him if he wants to marry me. I will treat him very well."

Behind them, the emperor and empress looked at each other, and the prince was in disbelief.Shen Mingjiao was also surprised.

Obviously not long ago, Lu Jingshu had no interest in the prince at all.She couldn't figure out what Lu Jingshu had experienced in such a short period of time, so that the girl's attitude changed so much.

But it's useless to think about it right now, in case the girl said something shocking, she coughed heavily,

"Hey, Miss Lu is here!"

Lu Jingshu's voice paused, and she turned her head when she saw the empress and the prince.She, who had always been heartless and thick-skinned, also blushed suddenly.

But the straightforwardness and boldness in her bones made her calm down in no time, and she turned her head to look at the prince openly:

"His Royal Highness, since you have heard it just now, let me ask again. I want to marry you as your wife. I wonder if Your Highness would like it!"

Even a man may not be able to say such direct and bold words.

General Lu touched his nose in embarrassment, stepped forward to plead guilty to Jing and Di Gong:
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, it is a minister who has no way to teach a daughter."

Jing and Di waved their hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, Ling'ai is a true temperament. There are not many children in this world who are as straightforward and clear-minded as Ling'ai."

General Lu's heart sank,

"That……"

"However..." Jing and Di changed their words and said, "Although Miss Lu is innocent and lively, she is not very suitable for the crown prince. I think she will not feel at ease when she enters the palace."

General Lu heaved a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is absolutely right, I will definitely restrain her when I go back."

Seeing Jing and Di's refusal, the queen at the side felt a little disappointed. Compared to Jiang Xueru or the previous Su Qing, she actually liked girls like Lu Jingshu more.

Shen Mingjiao lowered her eyes thoughtfully.

Frankly speaking, when Jing and Di spoke just now, she was really sweating for this girl.

As I said before, Jing and Emperor wanted the prince to marry Lu Jingshu, but now that Lu Jingshu offered to marry the prince, Jing and Emperor seemed to have no reason to refuse.

However, unexpectedly, Jing and Di refused, so what was the reason for his refusal?What changed his mind again!

There was a short distance between the two sides, and Lu Jingshu, who was immersed in her own emotions, did not hear Jing and Di's words at all, and just looked at the prince without blinking.Waiting for his reply.

Facing the little girl's clear and bright eyes, the prince paused, and finally shook his head:
"Thanks to the girl who thinks highly of it, but I'm afraid I'm not good enough for the girl."

This was a tactful refusal. Lu Jingshu felt a little uncomfortable, but she still asked unwillingly:
"Why, am I not beautiful enough? Or is my temper not gentle enough?"

The prince shook his head: "No."

After all, he looked at her and smiled lightly:

"You're a lovely girl who deserves better. I'm a married widower, so I don't deserve a girl!"

When he said this, the expression on his face was still lonely and desolate.

Shen Mingjiao frowned, why did these words sound like tea that retreated into advance?

In short, when General Lu took Lu Jingshu away, the little girl turned her head to look at the prince from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Shen Mingjiao patted her forehead, and finally figured out where the previous sense of disobedience came from.

All along, in her inherent impression, including her previous life.The prince has always been an infatuated person willing to give everything for Su Qing.It seems that every time the prince is either defending and pampering Su Qing, or on the way to defend and pamper Su Qing.

Such a person may be praised as infatuated by those ignorant girls.But he is also the prince of a country, with the country and the country on his shoulders, but he revolves around a woman with an unhealthy mind all day long.

Apart from this point, he is blameless in other aspects, which makes people hate iron for steel.

In her imagination, it would not be strange for the prince to be like this, even if it was because of Su Qing not marrying her for the rest of his life.

However, within two months of Su Qing's "death", he had another woman - don't talk about drunken sex, such words can only coax those little girls.

If it was said that Jiang Xueru was deliberately imitating Su Qing, the prince would only do things beyond the rules when he was temporarily deluded.I can also say something about the substitute I found because I missed Su Qing.

What would Lu Jingshu say?The crown prince is not Lu Jingshu, so it is impossible not to understand that what he said will make Lu Jingshu think a lot.

If he really wants to refuse, he can just say it to death.And Lu Jingshu was just a girl's heartbeat for a while.If he clearly refused, with Lu Jingshu's temperament, he would never pester her again.

It's not that the prince can't like others and start a new life.It was just thinking of his excessive infatuation with Su Qing before.It always makes people feel that he shouldn't be like this.

So, what prompted him to change from this?Did he suddenly wake up or...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, at this moment, he would rather that the prince would always be just the infatuated person who circled around Su Qing.

……

Jing and Di took Feng Shuo to Qinzheng Hall, and stood back and sat alone for a long time after the dragon case.

Even so, Feng Shuo just sat quietly with a book.

After a while, there was a crackling sound of candles, briefly breaking the tranquility of the hall.

Jing and Di seemed to finally come back to their senses, raised their heads and called out to the outer hall, Eunuch Li.

"Xuan Ning Yuanhou enters the palace."

Marquis Ning Yuan will naturally be present at today's palace banquet, and will leave the gate of the palace at this time.So only half an hour passed.Ning Yuanhou Gu Zhao, who was dressed as a military officer, stepped into the Palace of Qinzheng.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

He didn't find it strange to see Feng Shuo who was quietly sitting on one side.Jing and Di often bring Feng Shuo with them when they go in and out these days.The fact that His Majesty loves King Su's illegitimate son is almost unknown to all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Some people speculated that perhaps it was because the child looked somewhat similar to the former prince that Jing, Emperor Aiwu and Wuxia were so close to the child.

Even so, no one doubted the relationship between this child and the former prince?After all, the first prince did not make any mistakes during his lifetime. If this child is really related to the first prince, the title of prince cannot escape.

Jing and Di smiled and waved their hands: "Ai Qing, please stand up. Give me a seat."

Immediately a little eunuch brought a chair.Gu Zhaogong thanked him and sat down.

Jing and Di looked at Gu Zhao, who had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and sighed softly:
"I remember the first time I met Gu Qing, Gu Qing was still a young soldier. In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed, and we are all old..."

Listening to Jing and Di recalling the past, Gu Zhao was also a little moved. "If His Majesty hadn't promoted me back then, I'm afraid I would have become a handful of loess long ago."

He is also a military officer, but compared to General Lu whose family has been generals for several generations, Gu Zhao can be regarded as born in poverty.

Gu Zhao was born in the uncle's house. As early as his father's generation, their family lost the title of uncle, and their children and nephews had no future.He had no choice but to join the army. Later, because of the fighting between two powerful children, he, an unknown soldier, almost became cannon fodder for sacrifice.

It was Jing and Di who saved him.

From then on, he swore allegiance to Jing and Di.

General Ruolu, including Feng Lisheng Xiaozhong, is the Great Xia court and the royal family.The only ones that Gu Zhao is filial and loyal to are Jing and Di, and this has nothing to do with each other's identities.

And Gu Zhao is also a rare lonely official in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Jing and Di waved their hands: "Let's not talk about this anymore. If I remember correctly, you have a daughter under your knees, and she should reach the age of Ji this year, right?"

"Yes, I reached the end of last year."

"Are you allowed to marry?"

Gu Zhao shook his head: "Never."

Jing and Di put their palms together in satisfaction: "Coincidentally, I've been worrying about the prince's marriage recently, and the age of the two children is considered appropriate. I wonder if Gu Qing would like to be my in-laws?"

Gu Zhao was stunned, and then hurriedly waved his hands: "I am grateful for your majesty's kindness. It's just that my daughter has a bit of a temper... I really can't bear the position of crown princess. Please take it back."
