I was Idle and Cool Chapter 152: I can’t bear it
This undoubtedly puts the power of choice in the hands of Lu Jinxi. Everyone can hear that it is no longer a marriage offer, but a marriage proposal.
Gu Juefei asks to marry Lu Jinxi.
As long as she nodded, she would get rid of the identity of Xue Kuang's widow, leave the general's mansion, and become Gu Juefei's wife, bearing his surname.
As long as she shakes her head, she is a stranger to her.
It's just a thought, a thought.
It was clearly an extremely simple choice, and there was no difficulty in understanding it, but at this moment, Lu Jinxi felt a trance.
Because of this decision, it doesn't seem to be as good as she thought.
On the Golden Throne Hall, it was quiet.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Jinxi, from Xiao Che to the civil and military officials below, including the former Xue Kuang's former department, even the imperial master Gu Chengqian, the eldest princess Yongning, and...
Gu Juefei.
The expressions on each person's face are different, but the kind of waiting is the same.
Marriage?
Married to Gu Juefei?
In the past, she was never taken into consideration by her. After all, she was strong enough, and she was used to being a person.
Marriage is but a grave.
Whether it was in the past or now, Lu Jinxi never thought of burying herself.
Her reason is telling her: she should refuse.
In this moment...
She felt an unprecedented hesitation, even though it was so insignificant for a moment, even too fast for her to capture.
But still caught.
So Lu Jinxi easily realized her extraordinary feelings for Gu Jue, and it was this extraordinary feeling that made her suddenly chuckle.
Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to make her turn her back on her sanity.
The silence didn't last long, Lu Jinxi blinked slightly, his eyes retracted from Gu Juefei's standing figure, and fell on Xiao Che.
A smile is on the lips.
She bowed and said respectfully, "Report to the emperor, court lady—"
"Mrs. General."
Xiao Che suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Lu Jinxi before he gave his choice and answer.
He stared at her, and at the smile on her lips.
Lu Jinxi couldn't say what she said. She was slightly surprised at this time, and asked with a little doubt: "Your Majesty?"
"I don't have any other intentions, it's just that the matter is big, and it's not just between you and Gu Juefei. It involves the Shangshu Mansion, the Taishi Mansion, and the General's Mansion."
Xiao Che sat on the dragon chair, and when he said these words, he glanced at Gu Juefei again.
To be honest, he was still a little hesitant.
It's too late if you don't say anything.
Although he is the emperor, the superiors are ruthless, but if he is allowed to watch Lu Jinxi make a wrong decision, he can't bear it, he just clicks on her and says: "If you don't marry, everything will remain the status quo, and Madam will still be the general. The widow of the wife, everyone respects three points of the imperial court, and appoints the lady; if you get married, according to the law, the original title of the wife will be stripped away, and the old honor will be gone. I hope that the general's wife will consider carefully before making a choice.
Yes.
If you marry Gu Juefei, you will no longer be a first-class official conferred by the imperial court, and you will no longer have the same seat as the grand master's birthday banquet or palace banquet. In general, it's on an equal footing.
Just, what does this have to do with her?
Lu Jinxi didn't intend to agree to this marriage, so her face didn't change much, she still had a calm smile.
She spoke, wanting to reply to Xiao Che again.
Unexpectedly, at this time, an indifferent voice sounded from her side——
"The emperor is too worried."
It was Gu Juefei, he laughed, his face full of sharpness, self-confidence, conceit, and a loud voice.
"I will earn her appointment. If Xue Kuang can give it, I will give it!"
He will earn her destiny.
If Xue Kuang can give it, he can give it!
What kind of wild talk is this?
What kind of touching love story?
In the originally peaceful Golden Palace, all the civil and military officials widened their eyes when they heard these words.
Xue Kuang.
He fought in the South and the North in the past. He was a real hero, a general, a first-rank official, and full of glory!
And what about Gu Juefei at the moment?
It's just a five-rank civil servant, and the road ahead is paved with visible thorns. No one can deny his ability and talent, no one can deny his background and family, but the same...
It is impossible to ignore his recent difficult situation.
In a sense, it is much more difficult than a military officer to be a civil servant.
Generals who have made contributions and established careers are all visible, and they are the easiest to gain the reputation of the people. What about civil servants? Standing in this court, even if he did 110,000 good deeds to benefit the country and the people, he was rarely noticed.
Because of the halo and glory of the bloodbath.
Lu Jinxi is a first-class official.
It took less than four years for Xue Kuang to be promoted to the first rank; how long would it take for Gu Juefei, a civil servant, to be promoted to the first rank?
Not to mention that the courtroom is changing rapidly, and no one can predict the way forward!
Crazy.
He's insane to say that!
Hundreds of officials from the court and the public were shocked by his boldness and boldness in their hearts. They faintly felt that he cared about Lu Jinxi, but they also sighed in their hearts almost at the same time.
——I don't know if it's for themselves, or just for Gu Juefei's desperate gamble.
They thought he was crazy.
But Gu Juefei knows that he is sober, unprecedented sober.
The smile on his face didn't even fade away. After saying something that could be called offensive to the emperor, he just turned his eyes and looked at Lu Jinxi.
Also on this golden palace.
At this moment, standing here, looking at each other, it's not Master Gu and the general's wife. Yes, it's just Gu Juefei and Lu Jinxi.
A man, a woman.
That's all.
He is a gambler, a gambler who has nothing but this talent.
Everything today is his gamble.
Whether he loses or wins, he doesn't care.
Losing, but continuing with nothing.
Won...
He will have the whole world.
At this moment, Lu Jinxi's gaze couldn't even escape from the bottom of his abyss, as if Liu Ying was trapped in a huge spider web.
She is his prey.
But at the same time, he crawls down, giving his prey everything, his future, his dignity, and his emotions.
As long as she gently spit out the word "unwilling" that she had prepared, she could easily knock him down, and even destroy him.
Leave him nothing.
Give him notoriety.
May...
How can I get it?
The first time we met, it was she who saw through his painted skin, standing in the back alley of the setting sun, soft words, and confuse him; when we met again, it was she who hid in the library by the street on a whim. A pen was thrown at him, and his love was deeply rooted.
Now look-
Who saw through whose skin?
Who is it?
I earn your destiny.
It's his petition and his confession.
Lu Jinxi heard it all, and even at this time, the voice next to her could not be heard. The only thing that echoed in her ears was the low sigh he murmured in front of Yanchi Mountain that day...
Like a spell.
On the splendid and solemn Golden Palace, Gu Taishi looked at her, the eldest princess looked at her, Lu Jiuling looked at her, Fang Shaoxing looked at her...
Everyone looks at her.
Even Xiao Che's heart has a feeling of being suspended: "Lu Shi, can you think about it?"
Lu Jinxi blinked softly, and quietly pulled his gaze away from Gu Juefei's eyes, turned around, bowed his head, and bowed to the high-ranking Nine-Five.
In the light voice, there is a vague helplessness.
Even confused.
As if she couldn't understand it herself.
Like a dream.
Whether it's for herself, for Gu Juefei, or for Princess Yongning who suddenly fell into a trance and couldn't believe it——
"Emperor Mingjian. Lord Gu, Jin Xishi couldn't bear to refuse..."
