Chapter 218 Jiaojiao, are you willing to marry the prince?
Chapter 218 Jiaojiao, are you willing to marry the prince?
The Queen was awakened by Lu Ziwei's shouting and scolded, "It has come to this, do you want to deceive the emperor?"
"This just proves that there is a connection between you two."
"I think Gu Heng is a good person, and your mother is also satisfied. With your aunt's support, he will not dare to treat you unfairly in the future."
Lu Ziwei was a little distressed. She was not afraid that Gu Heng would bully her.
Instead, she felt that she was very unkind. The other person saved her, but she involved him in this.
Knowing that he has someone he likes, but wanting to marry someone he doesn't like seems a bit ungrateful to Gu Heng.
Moreover, she was afraid that as time went on, she would develop feelings for Gu Heng and become hostile towards Jiaojiao.
So, she didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Heng.
But now, she seemed to be forced to get married whether she wanted to or not.
"You all go out, I want to talk to Jiaojiao for a while."
"Jiaojiao, how are you and Qian'er doing recently?"
Su Yujiao blinked in confusion. What happened?
She and Lu Ziqian have nothing to do with each other anymore?
"I don't quite understand what the Queen means."
The Queen smiled and said, "I want to ask if there is any possibility of reconciliation between you and Qian'er."
"No, there's no possibility at all. I finally divorced him, how could I possibly reconcile with him?"
"Then what do you think of the prince?"
puff……
Su Yujiao spat out a mouthful of tea, choking her and causing her to cough violently.
Do all the women in the palace love to matchmake people up like this?
Concubine Jing has finished ordering?
Queen point?
"Queen, ahem... Is this what I understood? You want me to be the Crown Prince's concubine?"
"Not a concubine, but the principal wife, the future queen."
The Queen smiled lovingly: "I really like you. If you could be my daughter-in-law, I would wake up smiling in my dreams."
"You are the same age as the Crown Prince. He is even half a year older than you. I think you two are a good match."
Su Yujiao was horrified. Was marriage so casual in ancient times?
Don’t they feel embarrassed when they marry their cousins?
"Queen, don't make such jokes. It's not funny."
"I am serious."
"Have you asked the prince what he meant?"
"No need to ask him. Marriage is always decided by parents."
"Have you asked Lu Ziqian what he meant?"
"Aren't you two no longer related? Why should I ask him?"
Uh, that seems to make sense!
In the end, Su Yujiao politely declined. It was unknown what she said that made the queen feel at ease and let her go.
"You guys go back first. After the marriage certificate is framed, it will be sent to the Gu family."
The two left the palace together. Lu Ziwei was worried: "Jiaojiao, please accompany me to the Gu family. I don't know how to explain to Master Gu."
"You rejected me yesterday, and now you're forcing me to marry you. What's going on?"
"I feel like I'm repaying kindness with enmity."
"He shouldn't have saved me and gotten into trouble like this."
Su Yujiao looked at Lu Ziwei's distressed expression and actually burst out laughing.
"Why is it troublesome?"
"I think what the Queen said is right. There is a destiny between you two."
"Brother Gu is a very good person. As long as he marries you, he will be responsible for you."
"You don't have to think too much. Don't worry about whether he loves you or whether you are wasting his time."
"Didn't you say before that you never planned to fall in love with anyone else in this life?"
"Since you don't plan to fall in love again, just pick someone you like and live together."
"Brother Gu is your savior, isn't that good enough for you?"
"Besides, this is a fact that cannot be changed. You can only accept it."
"I think it's not the beginning that matters, it's the ending that matters."
"You have to make your own way in life, and marriage needs to be managed. As long as you maintain a positive attitude, your life will definitely get better and better."
Lu Ziwei looked at Su Yujiao and couldn't help but sigh: "Jiaojiao, being with you always makes people feel at ease."
The two went to Gu's house together. It was almost evening and Gu Heng had already finished his shift.
Su Yujiao came to him on her own initiative, and Gu Heng was a little flattered, but when he saw Lu Ziwei, he calmed down instantly.
"Brother Gu, I hope I'm not disturbing you by coming here so late."
"Don't bother me, please sit down."
Lu Ziwei also called out "Brother Gu".
Gu Heng knew that they came here suddenly for something, so he asked them directly.
Lu Ziwei lowered her head and was too embarrassed to speak, so Su Yujiao said, "Let me tell you."
"Brother Gu, you may soon receive the imperial decree granting your marriage."
Gu Heng was stunned and looked at Lu Ziwei involuntarily. Seeing that her ears were red with embarrassment, he knew who the person he was going to marry was.
The man felt bitter for a moment. In fact, he knew with his toes that it wasn't Jiaojiao, otherwise Jiaojiao wouldn't be so calm.
Su Yujiao quickly explained what happened in the palace in the afternoon.
The man nodded calmly and replied, "Well, I will take responsibility."
Faced with his indifferent reaction, Lu Ziwei felt even more guilty and suddenly stood up and bowed to Gu Heng.
"Brother Gu, I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble."
"If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have gotten into all this trouble."
"I know you don't like me. After we get married, we will live our own lives. I will never interfere in your life."
"Just like before you got married, you can do whatever you want. You can take concubines or maids if you want."
"Wait a few years, and when you meet the woman you like, we'll get divorced."
"excuse me."
After Lu Ziwei finished speaking, she ran away with a red face.
Although she was usually carefree, she still blushed and her heart beat fast when she said such words to the man who was about to become her husband.
Su Yujiao also followed him out.
Gu Heng looked at the backs of the two people with a complicated look, as if he was thinking about something.
The difference is that today his attention is more on Lu Ziwei.
He didn't expect that a woman could speak so frankly. He thought that all the young ladies from aristocratic families were as arrogant and proud as Princess Qinghe.
Three days later, all the relatives and friends of the Zhang and Gu families rushed over from their hometown and happily prepared for the wedding.
One of the reasons Zhang came was to see Lu Ziwei, and Gu Heng seriously reminded her not to say anything she shouldn't.
He was afraid that his mother would say something unpleasant like "a second-married girl" or "a slut" and kick him out of the Lu family.
After all, my mother was used to being a strong-willed person, and she was ignorant of the immensity of the world. She thought that she could walk around the capital with her own way just by passing the imperial examination.
In his mother's eyes, the emperor is the first and the top scholar is the second.
So, if he didn't scare her in advance, she would dare to say anything.
Unexpectedly, Zhang was extremely satisfied with this marriage, mainly because Lu Ziwei had a very high status.
The Queen's niece, the daughter of the former General Zhenguo, and the sister of the current first-rank general, rounded up to the nearest princess.
The fact that his son could marry a princess would be enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life.
