Chapter 65 Difficulties
In March of Yangchun, the weather was getting warmer and warmer. The sun shone warmly on the whole palace, and it was a little dry at noon.

Wei Yunqing was holding a book, fascinated by it.

Nian Shuang rushed in in a hurry: "Princess, several young monks in the east wing hanged themselves that day!"

Wei Yunzhu was taken aback subconsciously: "What's going on?"

"I don't know. I heard that the gatekeepers hanged themselves in their room last night. They were discovered this morning. Could it be that they committed suicide in fear of crime?"

Wei Yunzhu put down the book in his hand, thoughtfully: "But if he committed suicide in fear of crime, then why would the little novice who brought me tea break his bones?"

The appearance of the novice's death was so miserable that it was hard for people not to doubt it.

Just as he was speaking, he heard a noise coming from outside the hall, and several gorgeous carriages stopped in front of the gate of Yun'an Hall.

Wei Yunzhu thought that it was the elder sister who gave her something new, but when he ran out, he saw two rows of court ladies standing on the jade steps in the vestibule. They are bright and eye-catching, they must be some priceless objects.

She paused, feeling a little skeptical about these rewards.

Seeing Wei Yunzhu, an old eunuch from the Imperial Study Room immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Our family is here to congratulate the princess. These are the betrothal gifts of Gu Shilang. He really has a deep affection for the princess."

bride price?

Wei Yunzhu froze in place for no reason.

After a while, the hall was filled with gold, silver and jewels, and the old eunuch kept talking to Wei Yunzhu with great interest.

"At the court hall this morning, Grand Tutor Gu personally asked for an order, asking the princess to marry Gu Shilang as soon as possible. Presumably these betrothal gifts are the sincerity of the Gu family."

"This matter has been delayed for half a year. If it can be a good thing now, it will be considered gratifying."

at the same time.

In the imperial study room, Wei Yunqing had been approving paperwork all morning.

The little eunuch hurried forward and whispered something to her, she raised her neck and nodded slightly.

A few quarters of an hour later, Gu Yanyi walked in: "Weichen has seen the Queen Mother."

Wei Yunqing said casually: "I don't know what Gu Shilang is talking about here?"

Gu Yanyi cupped his hands slightly: "The Queen Mother, please allow this minister to marry the Princess."

Today in the court, Dad has made it clear that his marriage with the Princess cannot be delayed any longer and should be arranged as soon as possible.

But the queen mother did not make a clear statement.

Wei Yunqing smiled: "Gu Shilang, your marriage with Zhu Zhu'er has been settled long ago, and now that Zhu Zhu'er has just returned to the palace, it is too hasty to make arrangements at this time."

In fact, she is selfish, and always feels that it is safest for Zhu Zhuer to stay by her side.

"Empress Dowager, there is a tendency for the King of Yue to negotiate peace with Lord Shoufu. If the two parties really merge, it will be a catastrophe for Da Zhou."

"In this way, it is necessary to prevent future troubles before they act. King Yue is now retreating outside the city, and his power is immeasurable, but the other side, my Gu family, knows everything well."

"Empress Dowager, my Gu family is willing to serve Da Zhou, and I am willing to serve you."

Wei Yunqing's eyes were fixed on Gu Yanyi, unable to tell.

The next moment, he suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "I have been pleased with the princess for a long time, please do it."

……

After Gu Yanyi left, Wei Yunqing watched his leaving back, and suddenly, with a "snap", he slapped his palm on the booklet hard, his cheeks stained with sullenness.

What a hairpin tassel, a scholarly family, Gu Yanyi, a worldly scholar wearing the hat of a scholar, a confidant and counselor of the Great Zhou royal family, actually threatened her like this!

"Sister."

Here, Wei Yunzhu hurried in.

Seeing her, Wei Yunqing's face softened a lot: "Why are you running? You are in such a hurry."

Wei Yunzhu looked at her tired face, she was a lot thinner than before, and her heart ached so much that she couldn't say anything that was stuck in her throat.

Today, the situation is turbulent, and Da Zhou is facing internal and external troubles. The Gu family is the only force Yan'er can rely on, and she doesn't want to worry about her elder sister.

"I, I snooze in the middle of the day, have a dream, and miss my sister, that's why I'm so anxious."

Wei Yunqing smiled softly: "Why is Zhu Zhuer still like a child, then let's stay with Sister today."

Wei Yunzhu nodded, but found that sister was always frowning today, so he asked: "Sister, is there any trouble in the court today?"

"Sister, I have a problem." At this moment, Wei Yunqing was a little depressed, and she also needed to find someone to talk to.

Now this big week is riddled with holes, and it is all guarded by her as a woman. She has always acted decisively, and she will prevail when dealing with those wolves, and she will fight for reason with those difficult old guys. vague.

Only in front of Wei Yunzhu, would she reveal the pain of her heart failure.

Wei Yunzhu knew in her heart that when dealing with the King of Yue and Pei Ji, the elder sister had always walked on thin ice, and cooperating with the Gu family was also dangerous at every step. She chose places to jump, and she might have been exhausted long ago, but for Yan'er, she must defend the country of Dazhou.

"Sister, what's your problem?" Wei Yunzhu asked softly, although he couldn't help Sister with anything, at least he could comfort her.

Wei Yunqing sighed, and for the first time there was fatigue in her voice, as well as the confusion that should have belonged to her age: "Sister didn't want to rely on the Li family, so half a month ago, she planned to deal with the King of Yue."

"The king of Yue said that he can withdraw his troops immediately, but there are conditions, and the conditions are simply too much. I will never agree to shame myself."

Withdraw immediately?

When Wei Yunzhu heard this, he subconsciously seemed to see a glimmer of hope. If the King of Yue was really willing to withdraw his troops, then the current crisis could be easily resolved. It was indeed a more direct way.

But, how could sister be so angry.

"I don't know what conditions the King of Yue proposed? If it is gold ten thousand taels, he will be granted fertile land, promoted to rank, rewarded and pensioned, and other requirements, it is not impossible to satisfy him."

"If that's really all there is, I'm afraid I'll just be overjoyed and immediately agree to him."

Suddenly, Wei Yunqing sneered: "But, but he wants to..."

I have to follow him myself.

how can that be possible?She won't say yes.

"Huh?" Wei Yunzhu was a little puzzled.

Wei Yunqing paused, then shook his head: "It's nothing, anyway, it's a condition that sister will never agree to."

"Besides, he is too ambitious, too greedy, and wants too much. If I really grant his requests for fief pensions and he makes a comeback in the future, wouldn't taking Chang'an be like picking something out of a pocket? If you don’t agree, don’t talk about it.”

In other words, the elder sister had already broken up with the king of Yue, which made Wei Yunzhu a little worried: "Sis, if this is the case, why not rely on the Gu family?"

The Lanling Gu family is the head of the family, and they have been loyal to the Great Zhou royal family for a hundred years. What's more, isn't the Gu family preparing for King Qin's army to station in Chang'an to personally protect the safety of the little emperor?
Elder Sister was unwilling to be attached to them, which was beyond Wei Yunzhu's expectation. Could it be that there are some variables in this?
