I was Idle and Cool Chapter 151: You choose
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
The emperor hasn't even said anything yet. And the people who oppose are these three...
All of them are of high authority.
The first old lady is Gu Chengqian.
Everyone knows that he and his son are having a bit of a holiday. Wasn't Gu Juefei the only one who obstructed him when he returned to court? In the end, Lu Jiuling took a different approach and pulled Gu Juefei into the Ministry of Rites.
His objection is surprising, but it makes perfect sense.
After all, who can tolerate the eldest son who is going to inherit the family business and marry a widow? Not to mention that this widow is still the widow of the General's Mansion.
What should I do?
How embarrassing this is!
So, it's no big deal.
But then, the problem arises——
The old lady is Gu Juefei's parent, so it's reasonable to object, but what's going on with you, Princess Yongning?
After all the calculations, she only has a little relationship with the General's Mansion: Princess Yongning married the second son of the General's Mansion, Xue Huan, and now she is Lu Jinxi's aunt.
But now—
Xue was still killed in battle, and his aunt was still across the room.
No matter what, it's not her turn to object to this matter, is it?
Not to mention that the eldest princess Yongning is actually a high-ranking and powerful woman. When she was in the court, she was an old fox, and she seldom robbed the emperor in front of others.
But now she blurts out her disapproval, which is a bit surprising.
And whether it is Taishi Gu or her expression, there is a feeling of overreaction.
Although the ministers felt shocked by Gu Juefei's sudden request for marriage, it wouldn't be so disgusting, right?
Here, the most puzzled is the third person, Lu Jiuling.
He was wearing a crane suit, standing just behind Gu Chengqian. His face was wrinkled and his hair was much whiter. The surprised and dazed expression on his face had turned into complete confusion at this time.
He is obviously Lu Jinxi's father.
Gu Juefei is now asking the emperor to marry him, isn't he the one who is most qualified to speak? How come people have already objected to him before he has finished speaking?
The old man's face doesn't look very good.
His eyes first fell on Gu Chengqian's face, and he scolded in his heart. He wanted to stand up and ask: You still dare to dislike our family Jinxi?
But after all, in the courtroom, they knew each other and held back.
Then he rolled his eyes and looked at Princess Yongning again.
This time he felt a little uncomfortable.
I think that the eldest Princess Yongning supported Lu Jinxi's remarriage together with him, how come Gu Juefei came to propose marriage, but she opposed it instead?
Are they, a superficial alliance?
When Lu Jiuling first heard about the marriage, she subconsciously felt it was inappropriate and wanted to object. After all, although Gu Juefei is good, he still doesn't know if his daughter likes it or not.
But now that he is opposed by these people, he is not happy.
The "I'm afraid you have to be careful", which was about to be exported, stayed on the tip of the tongue for a moment, but was swallowed back by him.
At this moment, everyone noticed the displeasure of this old man.
Although Gu Chengqian was a little unhappy with Lu Jiuling because of the fact that Gu Juefei was still an official, he still cared about the friendship between the two in his heart.
I couldn't help but blurted out just now, but now that I think about it, I know that what I said was inappropriate.
My face became a little embarrassed.
Do you really want him not to object?
Impossible.
Gu Chengqian knew in his heart that his eldest son was a monster with only painted skin, and he had long coveted Xue Kuang's widow, murdered her husband, and married a widow.
He couldn't tell Lu Jiuling everything about what happened back then, so the other party didn't know.
But if he doesn't oppose this marriage right now, then it's his conscience, disregarding the friendship between them, and really hurting his beloved jewel!
So Gu Chengqian is carrying a secret, but he can't tell it to the world, let alone say "my son is the real murderer who caused your daughter to be a widow for six years", so he can only hold on to his old friends Misunderstandings, at all costs against!
Similarly, this is also the difficulty of Princess Yongning.
Knowing what happened back then, knowing Gu Jue's real face, knowing that he was the real murderer of Xue Kuang, that's all.
She hoped that Lu Jinxi would choose a good husband and live in peace and happiness for the rest of her life.
Obviously, Gu Juefei, who in fact murdered her husband's enemy and had evil intentions, was definitely not included in this list.
This has nothing to do with right or wrong, or even about the secret truth back then, it's purely because Gu Juefei harmed Xue Kuang.
Imagine—
If one day, after marrying Gu Juefei, Lu Jinxi finds out that the current husband's poisonous scheme killed his former husband, how should he deal with it?
Their objections are well-founded.
So facing Lu Jiuling's complicated gaze at this moment, they feel ashamed, but they can only grit their teeth and endure it, and are not prepared to change a word about it.
Not to mention the switch to favor marriage.
The sun is already high outside, and the bright sun shines in from the outside, and the golden hall is full of splendor. But the more it is, the more it makes the silence at the moment.
The generals on the side also looked at each other.
Of course they also felt that it was inappropriate for Lu Jinxi to remarry, especially Fang Shaoxing, but before they could speak, they were dumbfounded when they heard that the old lady and the eldest princess objected together.
Liu Jin couldn't understand the situation in front of him.
Fang Shao hesitated to speak, looked at him, his eyes turned around Lu Jinxi, who was obviously stunned, and finally resisted the urge to speak.
……
Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Che quietly.
On the throne engraved with the five-clawed golden dragon, Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che obviously did not expect such a scene. .
"Gu Aiqing, lifelong events are not child's play, do you take this seriously?"
Gu Juefei naturally heard the three opposing voices just now.
Just as he expected.
He didn't even raise his eyebrows, he just replied calmly: "I want to marry Lord Lu's only daughter Jinxi. It's all sincere and not false."
“…”
He no longer said "Grand General's wife Lu Jinxi", but "Lord Lu's only daughter Jinxi", which was clearly inevitable.
It's hard for Lu Jinxi to describe how she feels at the moment.
Shocked?
Ridiculous?
Or, it really is.
He once said, "You can sleep until I lose."
It's really hard to win now.
It's just that she doesn't understand it very well, so it's just that Gu Taishi objected. Why did Princess Yongning object so strongly?
Suddenly I remembered the day when Princess Yongning was testing her attitude towards Gu Juefei, as well as her vague fear of Gu Juefei.
So, I noticed it right away.
In Lu Jinxi, in Gu Juefei, or between the two of them, there must be a big unknown secret hidden.
This secret is known to the eldest princess Yongning, as well as to the old lady Gu Chengqian, and even to Gu Juefei himself.
But she doesn't know.
The glinting eyes lightly flowed.
Lu Jinxi couldn't help but glance at Gu Juefei, only to see that he lowered his eyes and looked serious, and his heart became a little complicated.
The first Xiao Che frowned.
He stared at Gu Juefei for a long time, and noticed something from his rare solemnity and awe, and then slowly looked at Gu Taishi and Princess Yongning.
He knew what happened back then...
It's not good who Gu Juefei wants to marry, why is it Lu Jinxi?
Xue Kuang's widow.
Said he had no sinister intentions and plans, Xiao Che himself didn't quite believe it.
But in this court, this is destined to be a secret, so he restrained his mind, pondered for a moment, and asked the ministers: "What do the ministers think?"
You shouldn't ask "all the ministers" for their opinions on the matter of giving marriage.
Smart people all know that this is to hand over the words to Taishi Gu and Princess Yongning who were opposed to them earlier, so they didn't say anything, they just looked at them.
Gu Chengqian really came out, with a tense face, bowed and said: "I don't think it's right. Master Gu is a colleague of the minister in the upper court, but he is the son of the minister in the lower court, and the minister knows him very well. Mrs. Being virtuous and virtuous, virtue is precious, and it is difficult for dogs to match, so I am afraid that the entrusted by the general's wife will be inhuman, and this life will be wronged. I also ask the emperor to think twice!"
The meaning of the words is very simple: He feels that his son Gu Juefei is not worthy of Lu Jinxi!
To tell the truth, I'm afraid that he is sarcastic, saying that Lu Jinxi is not worthy of his son, not worthy of his Gu family.
It can be said by Gu Chengqian that it does not seem to be a fraud.
Everyone felt weird and didn't dare to speak.
Next is Princess Yongning.
She also objected to the gift of marriage, but the reason she said was different: "Since ancient times, it has been common for a man to love a woman, and it is understandable that Gu Da people admire Lu's request for a marriage. But this time, the situation is really special. General Xue Kuang's children are still young and need to be nurtured. If the emperor rashly grants marriage, he will only hurt his children's hearts and their education. The other thing is, the situation of giving marriage eleven years ago, the emperor should know all too well. ."
This is where it hurts.
Many of the generals on the right still have feelings for Xue Kuang and the General's Mansion. After hearing what Princess Yongning said, they all nodded.
Even Lu Jiuling was startled when she heard it.
Eleven years ago, Lu Jinxi and Xue Kuang brought together Lu Jinxi and Xue Kuang in a marriage ceremony, but they broke up the two couples.
It didn't make a good relationship, but it created a pair of resentful couples.
This is the royal sorry for Lu Jinxi.
This is also Xiao Che's sorry for Lu Jinxi.
Princess Yongning is reminding him of the example of the past. But the court has been ups and downs for many years, and she is as smooth as her, and she will not let Xiao Che and Gu Juefei come down to the stage.
Of course she has a back up.
Keeping it makes Xiao Che easy to do, and it also makes Gu Juefei give up!
On the graceful face with some traces of time, there was a faint smile on her face. What Princess Yongning thought of was the sentence Lu Jinxi said to her on the day she woke up not long ago.
That firm denial.
As long as Lu Jinxi doesn't like it, what can you do?
So at this time, she only said leisurely: "Although the marriage is a matter of your own words, it must be the intention of the husband and the concubine. Now it is Mr. Gu's intention, but we don't know what Lu's heart is. What do you think? Your Majesty, why don't you ask her for her opinion before making a decision?"
"The Princess—"
When Gu Chengqian on the side heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but he remembered the scene he saw when he went to Huishengtang to visit Gu Juefei.
Subconsciously, he doesn't think the idea is right.
But Princess Yongning looked at him with such a hesitant and skeptical demeanor, and only thought that he didn't know the real situation on Lu Jinxi's side, and he was a little clueless.
So she just gave Gu Chengqian a look.
A look that reassured him and told him not to speak out against it.
Princess Yongning has never acted recklessly.
She knew what Gu Juefei was really about. Since she proposed to let Lu Jinxi choose, she should be very sure.
So Gu Chengqian met her eyes and saw her confident smile, he was startled for a while, but he still didn't speak.
This is just right.
Lu Jiuling didn't understand how things developed like this before and after, but he was very satisfied with Gu Juefei.
So, he also wanted to see what his daughter thought, so he didn't say anything against it.
The rest of the people don't come to this muddy water, and of course they won't speak.
So Xiao Che understood.
He glanced at Gu Juefei, hesitated for a moment, and thought that this is not sorry for Gu Juefei. After all, if Lu Jinxi was unwilling, he would not be able to grant this marriage.
So he turned his eyes and looked directly at Lu Jinxi.
"The madam should have heard the words of Lord Gu and the eldest princess just now. Now Gu Juefei intends to ask for the madam, please ask me to marry her."
"But I want to ask Mrs.—"
"Will it or not?"
