In Zhengyang Hall, ice basins are placed in every corner, which is very cool.

However, Chang En was sweating a lot.

Emperor Wende curled his fingers and tapped the desk lightly. Again and again, it made people's hearts jump wildly, and there was always an ominous premonition.

Marquis Lu would be married to the Gu family, and he would have a crush on the offspring of the Gu family, ha ha!

Emperor Wende let out a laugh with unknown meaning, which seemed to be ridiculed, ridiculed, angry, and murderous.

Chang En became more and more nervous.

Emperor Wende didn't need Chang En's answer, and said in a self-centered manner: It is estimated that Lu Hou is not interested in Gu Ting, but Gu Jiu behind Gu Ting.

Chang En asked cautiously: Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to the northwest to deliver an edict to call Marquis Lu back to Beijing?

Emperor Wende raised his eyebrows and smiled, I'm not in a hurry, are you in a hurry?

Chang En shook his head again and again, why is he in a hurry. Isn't he worried about His Majesty?

Emperor Wende said softly: My brother-in-law is a man with a big structure. Before the time comes, I can't act rashly.

Chang En's heart skipped a beat.

The emperor himself boasted that his courtiers have a big structure, which is probably not very good.

What's more, Marquis Lu also holds heavy soldiers in his hands and is stationed at the border.

Emperor Wende went on to say: Marquis Lu wants to marry a daughter. As an uncle, I naturally have to show something. Put it in Weiyang Palace.

Show off!

With a sound of singing and drinking, the emperor's ceremonial guard was launched, and Emperor Wende was surrounded by Emperor Wende to Weiyang Palace.

Empress Pei led Weiyang Palace up and down, and greeted her at the gate of the palace.

Today is neither the New Year nor the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, yet His Majesty came to Weiyang Palace.

What's even more surprising is that on weekdays, Emperor Wende traveled lightly in the palace, and rarely put on the emperor's ceremonial guard.

Seeing the complicated guard of honor of the emperor, Empress Pei subconsciously frowned. Today is really abnormal.

The concubine welcomes His Majesty!

The queen is free.

Emperor Wende smiled,

He personally helped Empress Pei up, took her by the hand, and walked into the hall.

This scene, in the eyes of others, is the supreme favor.

However, Empress Pei's heart was raised.

The two have been husband and wife for decades, and Empress Pei understands Emperor Wende's habits and preferences very well.

The more casual Emperor Wende's attitude was, as if he didn't respect others, the closer he was actually. On the contrary, when he pays attention to the rules everywhere, things will be troublesome.

The emperor and the empress respectively sat down on the throne.

The palace people stood guard on both sides, serving their own masters.

Emperor Wende looked at Empress Pei, Why is the empress so pale? Could it be that she is sick?

Empress Pei touched her cheek unnaturally, Is it very pale? My concubine suffers from summer, and when summer comes, life is sad. When the weather cools down, my concubine will recover soon. Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Emperor Wende smiled and nodded, Since the summer is bitter, why not go to the palace to escape the heat?

Where is Your Majesty? Empress Pei asked cautiously.

Emperor Wende said: National affairs are heavy, so naturally I cannot leave the capital easily.

When Empress Pei heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said: Thank you for your concern. The concubines don't have to go to the palace to escape the summer heat, it's the same in the palace, and they can chat with the concubines for entertainment. And it's expensive to go out of the palace. Now that the treasury is empty, the ministers and concubines should take care of His Majesty.

Emperor Wende suddenly took Empress Pei's hand and patted the back of her hand lightly, You are worthy of being an empress, and she is dedicated to sharing my worries. It's just that no matter how poor the court is, it can't afford your share.

Empress Pei slowly shook her head, The concubine accepts His Majesty's wishes. The concubine is only willing to stay by His Majesty's side.

Emperor Wende looked at Empress Pei with a half-smile, That's fine!

Empress Pei lowered her head and smiled, feeling more and more nervous.

Your Majesty is here today, but is there something urgent?

The empress really knows what I want. The empress already knows that Marquis Lu is going to marry a daughter.

Empress Pei nodded, I just heard about it. The concubine is still complaining about the eldest daughter-in-law. I don't know how to notify the palace immediately about such a big matter.

Why bother to blame the eldest daughter-in-law? It's not her who married a daughter. If you want to complain, you should blame Lu Hou.

Empress Pei stared blankly, her heart was beating wildly, and she asked cautiously, Does Your Majesty have any objections to this marriage?

Emperor Wende laughed, Why would I have any objection? I'm too happy to be happy. Speaking of which, I'm also the uncle of that girl Pei Man. She's about to get married. As uncles and aunts, we should send a big gift to congratulate you. This piece Empress should take this matter to heart, remember to send a heavy gift to Luhou Mansion.

Empress Pei's face turned pale, This, this...

Emperor Wende asked with a smile: Is the queen reluctant to give a heavy gift? Her niece is married, so you can't be stingy.

Empress Pei softened all over, The concubine listens to His Majesty, and tomorrow I will send someone to the Marquis of Lu's mansion to present a great gift.

That's great! The queen is really my good wife. I still have things to do, so I won't stay for dinner.

After speaking, Emperor Wende got up and left.

Empress Pei made a strange mistake, stretched out her hand, and grabbed the emperor's sleeve, Your Majesty, Marquis Lu is not...

What does the queen want to say? Emperor Wende turned his head and looked at Queen Pei calmly.

Empress Pei originally wanted to say that Marquis Lu had no intention of rebelling, but after seeing Emperor Wende's eyes, she couldn't say those words anymore.

She smiled awkwardly, and continued: This is just an ordinary marriage, it doesn't involve anything else.

Emperor Wende raised his eyebrows, What did Marquis Lu tell you?

Empress Pei shook her head again and again, The concubine did not receive the letter from Marquis Lu. But the concubine knows him well and knows what kind of person he is.

Emperor Wende smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, The empress is really confident. You and Lu Hou are called brothers and sisters, but in fact they haven't been together for a day, how can you understand. I understand what the empress means. You don't have to say anymore, I have my own measure.

Emperor Wende forcefully interrupted the rest of Empress Pei's words and left. Never looked back.

Empress Pei sat down slumped, with a pale face and cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Your Majesty? It's okay, Your Majesty!

Empress Pei suddenly raised her head, Go, invite Madam Luhou into the palace.

The old slave complies.

Wait! Empress Pei stopped Eunuch Wen again, Don't ask Madam Lu Hou to enter the palace, go and invite Madam Zhao, I have something to say to her. Tell her to enter the palace immediately without delay.

Eunuch Wen bowed to accept the order, and hurriedly sent someone out of the palace to invite Gu Jiu.

Empress Pei sat slumped on the chair, her mood fluctuated.

Mrs. Lu Hou can't decide this marriage. Calling her into the palace is useless.

As for Gu Jiu, since Marquis Lu's marriage is aimed at Gu Jiu, let Gu Jiu come forward to resolve the matter.

All in all, the Luhou Mansion must not be involved, let alone the Pei family.

Empress Pei clenched her handkerchief tightly, her veins bulging.

...

Gu Jiu was not surprised that there was an invitation from the palace.

The only thing that surprised her was that the person who asked her to enter the palace was not Emperor Wende, but Empress Pei.

This is worth scrutinizing.

She was ready to be questioned by Emperor Wende, or even ripped off.

As a result, Emperor Wende was uncharacteristically silent, but Empress Pei impatiently asked her to enter the palace.

She winked at Xu Yousi.

Xu Yousi understood, and hurriedly asked someone for the news.

When Gu Jiu got off the carriage and entered the palace, Xu Yousi had already found out the inside story.

Your Majesty went down to the Weiyang Palace, and was still in honor of the emperor. It is said that the empress turned pale with fright. When her majesty leaves, the empress will let Mrs. Xuan enter the palace.

Gu Jiu understood, It seems that the queen was beaten up by His Majesty, and she was panicked, so she announced me into the palace.

Why does Your Majesty want to beat the Queen? Lu Hou and Gu's family are married, so it stands to reason that Mrs. Luhou should be beaten too.

Gu Jiu smiled, Madame Luhou is not enough, she can't compare to beating the empress. That's enough, I know about it.

When he came to Weiyang Palace, he passed through the transmission and entered the side hall.

Empress Pei was lying on the Luohan couch, her whole body was limp, as if she had no strength.

Seeing Gu Jiu, he greeted, Come on, sit and talk.

Thank you, Queen Mother. Gu Jiu followed the example and sat down on the lower left seat.

Empress Pei has almost calmed down now.

It's useless to worry about this matter, it's better to calm down and have a good talk with Gu Jiu.

She took the lead and said, I'm not talking nonsense. Your Majesty is very upset that Marquis Lu is married to the Gu family.

Gu Jiu paused, and then said: Thank you, Queen Mother, for telling the truth.

Is this your attitude? You are not in a hurry? You know, the reason why Lu Hou agreed to betroth Pei Man to your brother is all for your sake. This marriage is for you.

Empress Pei was a little distraught. After yelling, I reminded myself not to worry, take my time. But can you not be anxious?

Gu Jiu nodded, I know what the queen mother said.

Since you know, why are you not in a hurry?

Is it useful to be anxious? Gu Jiu asked with a smile.

Empress Pei was at a loss for words, and took a deep breath, Your Majesty is angry, what should you do now. According to my intention, this marriage will be canceled immediately, as if it never happened.

Gu Jiu shook her head slowly, The Gu family has already gone to Luhou Mansion to propose a marriage, and this marriage is imperative.

Empress Pei glared at her, Could it be that the Gu family is reluctant to get the wealth? That's right, how many people want to marry Lu Hou but can't, but it's cheaper for the Gu family. Naturally, the Gu family is reluctant to part with this good marriage.

Gu Jiu smiled, It doesn't matter whether the Gu family is reluctant or not, the important thing is that my brother attaches great importance to this marriage.

Empress Pei kept a straight face, waiting for Gu Jiu's next words.

Gu Jiu continued: As for His Majesty's attitude, His Majesty did not explicitly oppose this marriage, did he?

Empress Pei was furious, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with this marriage, is this still called objection?

Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, Since Your Majesty did not expressly object, then there is something to discuss about this matter. Your Majesty is worried that this matter will implicate Lu Hou, so there is no need for it.

What do you mean by that?
