Chapter 248 Glazed Pendant

It was a begging festival, and there were already many people going to the street market to purchase and set up stalls. The glazed pendant standing prominently on the plaque of Jingchuan Prince's Palace attracted everyone to stop and watch.

At the end of a small arrow, three crystal clear glazed lotus pendants of different lengths hung. The colorful lights shone under the sunlight, which was very eye-catching, as if the shy thoughts of the daughter's family were exposed.

The glass pendant is the imperial certificate given by Jiakui to choose his son-in-law.

As long as Jia Kui's exquisite and exquisite thoughts are given to the one he loves, it will be a marriage contract. The chosen person cannot refuse, otherwise it will be disrespectful and disobedient.

However, this tradition has become a mere formality since the marriage ceremony was held at the Hanguang Hall celebration banquet, and there has not been anything new like this in the market for many years.

Today, it shot an arrow into the plaque of the Jingchuan Prince's Palace. The whole Yunjing was boiling with excitement. Seeing the glass pendant was like seeing an imperial edict. Everyone knew that Princess Helan was going to marry the Jingchuan Prince's Palace!

In the palace, Ling Buhuo's face was extremely gloomy. Although Gu Yuchu didn't quite understand the mystery, he also knew that it was not a happy event.

"Don't you want to go out and take a look?" she asked.

"There's nothing to see."

"My lord, do you want to take off that glass pendant? It's too ostentatious to hang it on the plaque." Wu Cen asked cowardly.

"No."

"That's a rebellion," Wu Cen hesitated for a long time before reminding him.

"The more I hang out with Shu Yuan, the more courageous I become!" Ling Buhuo glanced at him and scolded him in a low voice, "Send the order, no one in the palace is allowed to take it off. When traveling in the palace, everything will be the same as before. Act like nothing happened."

"Yes."

Wu Cen stepped back in response. When Gu Yu first saw him walking away, he asked carefully: "What exactly is a glass pendant?"

"Certificate of Jiakui's choice of son-in-law." Ling Bu was confused and didn't want to hide it.

"It's just an engagement." Gu Yuchu was also a smart person and understood everything as soon as he heard it.

Ling Buhuo turned his head and looked at his sweetheart with guilt-filled eyes, not knowing how to explain it.

"They all hit the door lintel with such a direct arrow?" the woman asked, surprised by Beiling's strange customs.

"Never before."

Gu Yuchu marveled at Ji He's courage. This act of writing was no different from a forced marriage.

"I really find it strange. Is there no one in the world that I can marry except my cousin? Or has this happened to me alone?" She spread her hands, thinking that Gunan Xi was also unlucky. Those who don’t want to marry are very helpless.

"Throughout the ages, it has been normal for people to get close to each other, let alone the princes and nobles. How can they be willing to leave their power and wealth aside." Ling Buhuo didn't want to find an excuse for himself, so he truthfully told the key to it.

"It's okay." Gu Yuchu thought for a while, then patted his shoulder and consoled him heartlessly, "I'll just be a kid."

"What?!" The man who was originally calm and composed suddenly looked confused. He never expected that this woman would react like this.

"Then why don't we let her grow up?" Gu Yuchu continued to joke with an innocent look on his face.

"Can you tolerate your husband marrying another person?!" Ling Buhuo's initial disbelief turned into anger and anxiety. He had never discussed this issue with her. After all, this woman did let Qi Jian marry her in the past. biological sister.

"Then it depends on who is my husband."

Gu Yuchu regretted her unconscionable words. The two of them had just expressed their feelings to each other, but she really shouldn't have spoken out about each other's sincerity. But since she had already said it, how could she give up? So she gritted her teeth and said, After giving it a try, I wanted to be nice, but I was choked back by the man's categorical "It must be me."

"Can you tolerate me marrying someone else?" Ling Buhuo asked directly without giving her a chance to escape.

"No woman in the world can be so generous." Gu Yuchu thought for a while and did not answer directly, but her indifferent attitude like a bystander made Ling Buhuo even more annoyed.

"Aren't you a woman?"

"The key is not whether I am a woman. The key is, can a man really be consistent with a woman?" She asked the question that was lingering in her mind, and the calmness in her eyes revealed the answer she had already determined. .

"You don't believe me?" Ling Buhuo felt frustrated when he saw such a sober Gu Yuchu.

"No, I believe you can do it, but King Jingchuan will one day not be able to do it. If you sit in that position in the future, it will be even less possible."

Gu Yuchu shrugged and smiled bitterly.

She has experienced sharing a husband with others. It is not easy and she is not willing to do so. But in the past, she had no choice but to leave.Now, faced with the same choice, she lamented that fate was playing tricks on people.If she couldn't escape such a fate, why should she worry prematurely?

This man is destined not to live an ordinary life, and he has never been able to say that he is willing to give up everything for me.

Ling Buhuo was silent.Indeed, marriage in the imperial family has always been closely related to interests. Even if there is the wish of the first person, they are often unable to help themselves and live up to their love for a lifetime.

But he still believed he could do it and was determined.

He really wanted to promise this woman that he would only marry her in his life, but these few words were too thin. She was not an innocent and good man, so she would definitely not believe it easily.

So he must prove himself with practical actions. This life is too long, so whether to say it or not is not that important.

"Let's go." He stood up and grabbed the woman and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Gu Yuchu asked, holding on to his loose hair.

"Let's put lanterns on the ten-mile lotus pond."

"Forget it, there are countless pairs of eyes outside looking at Jingchuan Prince's Mansion, we'd better not bring it to the door ourselves." The woman smiled and refused to move even half a step away.

"Are you afraid? I just want everyone in the world to know that you are my sweetheart, Ling Buhuo, and the mistress of the Jingchuan Palace." Ling Buhuo couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw her thinking about him so much.

"Yes, yes, King Jingchuan is so powerful on the battlefield." Gu Yuchu joked, but seeing that the man in front of him was not happy at all, he could only coax, "Is it possible that the mistress of Prince Jingchuan's palace can be seen just by anyone who wants to see her?! "But Ling Buhuo didn't give up the idea of ​​going out because of this. Gu Yuchu had no choice but to use her trump card. She put her hands around the man's neck, bit his chin, and said coquettishly: "Ling Buhuo's sweetheart wants to be at home tonight. If I put a light in the fish pond, I would like to ask you if it’s okay?”

The man could never stand her embrace, so he laughed slowly, hugged her tightly, and replied softly: "It's up to you."

Therefore, no matter how lively the market outside was, the gate of Jingchuan Prince's Mansion was always closed. The purchasers of the Prince's Mansion temporarily went to the market to buy many different styles of lanterns. The inner lake of the Prince's Mansion was sparkling and the lights were twinkling, although it was not as bright as The streets and lanes and water bridges and lakes are busy, but the atmosphere is also very good.

But no matter what the holiday atmosphere is, there are always people with sad faces, and Princess Helan is definitely one of them.When she learned that her daughter had done such a shocking act regardless of the consequences, she was so shocked that she folded the fan in her hand.

She was taken advantage of by Noda and had to throw dirty water all over Ling Ziyu. Although she got Ling Buhuo's promise of protection, it was not yet time for Ling Ziyu to officially break up.Moreover, Ji Huan was still fighting for the prince, and she always held the illusion of taking advantage of both sides, thinking that as long as both parties did not tell the truth, she would be safe before making a decision until the situation became clear.

But now, Ji He quietly shot the glass pendant on the plaque of Prince Jingchuan's palace. This was a double-dealing attack on her princess' palace. The true nature of the floating grass on the city wall was undoubtedly exposed. It also officially announced her betrayal and betrayal to the prince's palace. He defected and put his son in a desperate situation.

She was extremely scared, and after much thought, she decided to come to the door and explain clearly.As a result, she bumped into Nuo Da discussing something in the Prince's Mansion, and had already informed Ling Ziyu about this. But to her surprise, Prince Ling not only did not blame her, but instead applauded her loudly, and even tried his best to promote this relationship. marriage.

Such a reversal made her even more panicked. She knew that her daughter, who could have been used as a bargaining chip, not only stepped on Prince Jingchuan's bottom line without realizing it because of this impulse, but also became a must-sacrifice in the prince's plan. a chess piece.

For the next three days, the glass pendant still sat quietly in place, with no one touching it.The gate of Jingchuan Prince's Mansion has become the most lively place in Yunjing, with an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going to take a look at the Imperial Glazed Pendant.

But Ling Buhuo was determined to ignore it, and people with ulterior motives commented on this, saying that King Jingchuan was full of confidence because he had a large number of troops, and even dared not follow the marriage proposal given by the emperor, fearing that he was not going to rebel, which was alarmist.

Gu Yuchu thought about it again and again, and felt that it was not a good sign if things continued like this.So, she freshened up specially, picked a dignified skirt, inserted a few gorgeous gold hairpins, and as a hostess, ordered the door to be opened, and ordered the servants to take off the glass pendant in full view of the public.

Everyone in the palace got the command from King Jingchuan, and no one dared to take action for a while.

"Don't worry, take it off. The prince will listen to me in everything." Gu Yuchu said such a pampering and arrogant word. The meaning of the words was very clear, and he put his position upright.

The servants were used to the prince's habitual compromise with this woman without exception, and had already weighed her weight in Prince Jingchuan's heart many times, so they no longer hesitated, followed Gu Yuchu's order wisely, and stepped on the ladder to take it down. The glass pendant was handed to her hand respectfully.

In this way, it makes people endlessly daydream.

When did Prince Jingchuan’s Mansion have a mistress?
While everyone was wondering, Shu Yuan, who accidentally got mixed up in the crowd, took the opportunity and said that this woman was General Yuesheng.

Now the market is exploding again. General Yuesheng takes the glass pendant for King Jingchuan like a mistress of the house. What does it mean? !

Could it be that if Jiakui wants to enter the palace, he can only live as a concubine? It's really ridiculous!
You must know that County Lord Ji He is the apple of Princess Helan's palace. If King Jingchuan behaves like this, wouldn't it mean that he is publicly slapping County Lord Ji He and demolishing Princess Helan's reputation?

There's a good show here!

Ling Buhuo was furious when he learned in the military camp that Gu Yuchu had taken the glass pendant for him and acquiesced to the engagement.

But after listening to Wu Cen's description in detail, I learned that the woman caught Ji He off guard in public as the mistress of the house, and her attitude changed 180 degrees. I was relieved and happy.

But the engagement was concluded. What would happen if Ji and Ken gave up their status and insisted on entering the palace? Thinking of this, the smile on his face gradually solidified.

There was such a big buzz in Yunjing. Yan Feng couldn't sit still. When he got the news, he immediately dragged Yu Bai and quietly entered the Jingchuan Prince's Mansion.

"It's a bustling place, you can sit down here." Yu Bai's body became heavy, but he was also flexible.

Gu Yuchu helped her sit down and replied with a smile: "It's expected, but it's a little too early."

"Just this jingling thing, I didn't think it was anything before, but now it seems to be very important." Yan Feng casually picked up the glass pendant that was thrown aside from the soft bag, played with it a few times, and said jokingly, " If my eldest brother really marries Ji He, will you just watch helplessly like this?"

"What else?" Gu Yuchu blinked, "Bring a big fuss and snatch someone away in public?"

"It doesn't matter whether you take someone away or not, but you can't let happy events go smoothly. Children of the martial arts world, don't they constantly invent their will, cut off the love thread with a sword, and never see each other again?" Yan Feng said matter-of-factly, gesturing at martial arts moves. , as if he wished he could make a decision for her.

"You must have read too many stories." Yu Bai rolled his eyes at Yan Feng, who never went straight to the point, and then said to Gu Yuchu, "However, you picked up the glass pendant in a big way, and you can't punish it in the slightest. It is not your usual behavior to find Ji He's way into the mansion and return without any success."

Gu Yuchu raised his eyebrows and smiled, but didn't say much.

"My little cousin has had a good idea since she was a child. If she is determined to get married, no one can stop her. This thing about fame is just a name. As long as she enters the house, has an official marriage certificate, and my Aunt Helan is there. After planning, you will definitely get back double what you give up. My elder brother is entangled in his future plans. It is impossible to interfere with everything in this internal affairs. Even if he is completely biased towards you, the undercurrent you have to deal with alone will not be inferior to that on the battlefield. The bloody storm."

Yanfeng said so many honest words in one breath, which surprised them both.

"How could you?" In the past, his speech style was always confused, noisy, and his brain was useless. Now he was so clear-headed that Gu Yuchu didn't know what to say for a while.

Yanfeng saw her thoughts clearly, waved his hand nonchalantly and said frankly: "I grew up in the palace, and I saw a lot of women competing for favors and taking credit, and quietly fighting overtly and covertly. For a man who is really not as good as his blooming period. , It’s really not worth it. If you ask me, why don’t you just break up with my eldest brother and live in the back house, and you haven’t had enough days of intrigue and intrigue in Prince Qin’s Mansion?!”

These words hit Gu Yuchu's heart like a rainstorm, and she was silent for a long time.With her temperament, how could she not have such thoughts? It's just love. If she wasn't extremely discouraged, who could be so cool and decisive?

"It's not that easy. When you find someone you want to spend your life with, you will understand." Yu Bai grasped the edge in Yan Feng's words and calmed down the confusion in Gu Yuchu's heart.

"Okay, okay, I don't understand anything." Yanfeng also realized his gaffe. If Gu Yuchu moved away because of him, Ling Buhuo would probably pick her bones with a knife, so he put aside his anger and said to himself I walked down the steps and learned to behave.

"Although the colored glaze pendant is like a wedding, it is not a major national matter after all. If King Jingchuan does not accept the colored glaze pendant, it is just Ji He's wishful thinking. Your Majesty cannot just push your head away without drinking water. There is still room for negotiation. In your heart It's obvious, but she still helped him fall, and then drew a circle to restrict the way out. Is it to test his determination?" Yu Bai expressed her intention completely without any obstruction.

"Seeing the Glazed Pendant is like seeing an imperial edict. What's the difference between accepting it or not? Even if there is room for negotiation, Princess Helan's Mansion can't bear to lose face. But your statement of 'The prince will listen to me in everything' is really like a fairy." , so whether my eldest brother marries or not can be said to be at your will."

Although Yanfeng didn't see it with her own eyes, what she learned was vivid. She then sighed: "I'm really not worried that you will suffer if you leave it to the inside, but I pity Ji He for being shut out. Even if he can get married, , this thorn in my heart cannot be removed.”

"You don't have to feel sorry for Ji He at this time. She will take things to this point, and she will naturally know the consequences." Yu Bai retorted.

All afternoon, Gu Yuchu listened to the two people expressing their opinions and tried to figure out other people's possible opinions on this matter, but did not explain too much. People always unconsciously try to figure out other people's thoughts from their own perspective. All she had to do was to Just have a clear conscience.

Her original intention was not to let the Jingchuan Palace fall into the trap of openly defying the king's orders and being criticized. If Ling Buhuo insisted on not marrying, it could be said that she was charming and deceiving the master, regardless of the overall situation, so she could block the sword for him.Of course, it would be great if Ji He could be provoked and retreated.Her reputation was already in tatters anyway, and adding another crime would be nothing more than that.

So she had to make the fuss known to everyone, but inadvertently wiped Ji He's face clean.

After all, she was just a teenage girl, so even though she was a little tougher, she didn't do much wrong. Jiakui could just marry someone according to her heart, and since she had no name and no status, she was always a bit of a bully.
