"Your brother...he agreed?" Gu Qingling was a little surprised.
The royal family is so shameless?
No, it's ignoring the face.
He actually promised to let a prince marry her and the other one was more than ten years older than him, so he could be a fucking old woman?!
Li Wenchong had an innocent expression: "Yes, I told you that the emperor's brother is particularly pampering me. As long as I want, he rarely refuses to agree. If it weren't for the excessive troubles in the capital, I would have stayed for a while and would have come back to tell you this good news long ago."
Is this good news? Gu Qingling suddenly wanted to apply Leng Junxiang directly on him and let him die on the spot.
"Don't you believe it?" Li Wenchong understood her expression and without saying a word, he asked Qingzhu to take the box he carried with him.
He put it on the table and pushed it to Gu Qingling, "This is an imperial edict."
Staring at the thing in front of her, Gu Qingling suddenly felt a little hot - without this thing, she thought he was joking, but if there was this thing...
If the imperial edict is given, wouldn’t she have to marry if she doesn’t marry?
"Are you trying to force a kiss?" Gu Qingling did not open the box as soon as possible, but looked at him and said.
Seeing her misunderstanding, Li Wenchong quickly explained: "No, I'm afraid that you won't believe me, so I specially asked the imperial edict from the emperor. Now I'm just asking you to see it in advance. When you are willing to marry me one day, I will give you this imperial edict."
Gu Qingling stared at his eyes for a long time and confirmed whether what he said was true or false.
Finally, she smiled and said, "I believe in you! But... I think it's safer to put this kind of thing here, what do you think?"
"You want to... put it here?"
Of course, she has a space, as long as she doesn't want people to find it, who can find it? Gu Qingling: "Don't you believe me? Are you afraid that I will lose such an important thing, or that I will be afraid of..."
"How could it be? Since you want it, then you can take it." At worst, he will ask his elder brother to make up for another one.
Of course, Li Wenchong was still confident in himself and felt that with his identity and status, she put aside her concerns, it was natural for her to marry him.
"Stop telling you that I'm lying to you in the future, we'd better hand over it in person and make sure the contents inside..." As he said that, Gu Qingling opened the box in front of Li Wenchong.
After all, Gu Qingling was still a little worried because Li Wenchong was afraid that he would use a fake thing to deceive him, so of course he would have to check it out and feel more at ease.
Li Wenchong was open-minded and didn't think much about it at all. Ren Gu Qingling did the examination and then watched her put the thing beside her.
Li Wenchong was a little helpless when she was so cautious about herself: "Qingling, we haven't known each other for a day or two. When did I cheat you? Why do I feel...you treat me as a thief?"
"You don't have any intentions towards me. Can I be careful?" Gu Qingling still had the same reason. "A normal person, who would want to marry an old lady like me back? Moreover, you are the first marriage. With your identity and status... even if you say it out, how many people would you believe?"
"Uh... my emperor brother believed it, otherwise he wouldn't have given me this imperial edict."
"To be honest, I was really surprised... I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be so fond of you." He was so fond of this. According to normal logic, which emperor was furious when he heard that his beloved brother wanted to marry an old woman, and then settled the score with her?
As a result, Emperor Mingguang has given many rewards to the Yao family in the past three years, as if he didn't know what happened to her and Li Wenchong.
Wait, this is not true. In the past three years, Jinling has applied for so many "projects", so who did not write memorials and submit them to Beijing for review?
Gu Qingling had never been an official and had no experience in this area. Before, when Sun Taifu said that Jinling had received "respect" and "attention" from the superiors, she had not thought about this. But now Li Wenchong was sitting in front of her with the imperial edict of Emperor Mingguang, and Gu Qingling had to think about it.
She said: "The reason why the memorials handed over by the prefect of Jinling were criticized so quickly is that they are not due to your contribution, right?"
Li Wenchong blinked: "No, either, I just mentioned it a little and asked the emperor to take care of him."
How could Li Wenchong just do it and not talk about his contributions?
If I don’t say it out, what if this woman pretends to be stupid and pretends not to know?
Li Wenchong had many experiences of being "pretending to be stupid" by Gu Qingling and did not want to be confused like this anymore. Balabala told him how he said good things about the Yao family in front of Emperor Mingguang, how he introduced his connections to her eldest son in Beijing, and how he took care of her mother's brothers, nephews, etc. one by one.
This was said too much. Through Li Wenchong's account, Gu Qingling's situation in Beijing became clearer.
In order to make connections related to the Yao family emerge, Gu Qingling has already taken out a lot of things, but when the situation happened to her family, there was not even a person who could speak in the capital.
Now that Li Wenchong's speech was heard, Gu Qingling realized that the battle between the princes in the capital had begun.
I don’t know if she misled Mrs. Yao and the others or what happened. After Mr. Yao and his wife arrived in the capital, they had frequent contacts with the eldest prince’s mansion and were already considered members of the eldest prince’s faction.
Gu Qingling: “…”
So, did she write letters to Mr. Yao every now and then, asking him to keep a distance from the princes and other things to write in vain?
"No matter how much you write, it's useless. The eldest princess of the Baixiang Pavilion, which is opened in the capital of your Yao family, has dividends. The eldest princess is because of the legitimate son of your mother's son... and when you were in the capital, you slapped Concubine Yao so much, everyone knows that your Yao family and the Prince of Jin's Mansion are not in the way, and they are from the eldest prince."
"I said it?"
"Yeah!" Li Wenchong nodded and said, "Some things are not something you can just leave them clean if you want. Of course, if you marry me, the situation will be different."
Li Wenchong smiled and told him the benefits of Gu Qingling's marriage to him. For example, he was a natural "royalist". No matter who ascended to that position, it would have no effect on him.
As for her, as the "author", she had a "normal operation" to communicate with her future nephew and niece-in-law in advance. However, they were snatched by the eldest prince's mansion.
"You said this very nicely, but from another perspective, it can also be said that you were dragged into the water by the Yao family. How can you be sure that those who have reached that position in the future will not think that you also support the eldest prince?" Gu Qingling frowned slightly, with some doubts. If this guy really doesn't have that kind of ambition and wants to rebel and become the emperor, it's just that the person who secretly supports the eldest prince?
It would be fine if he just supported the eldest prince, but he would really be ready to rebel...
She jumped in like this, was she sure she didn't jump into the pit he dug?
Anyone who wants to be an emperor would marry a woman who can be a mother to be a queen unless it is a "cannon fodder" that is concealed.
