Chapter 1052 Gu Jinxiao admits that he has someone he likes (91 reward points plus more)
At first, Princess Yun'an also believed it.
After all, which woman in the world could catch the eye of Minister Gu?
But tonight, seeing Gu Jinxiao's ruthless rejection of her, Princess Yun'an suddenly had a voice in her heart -
That poem is true!
Minister Gu may really have a woman he deeply loves in his heart!
Princess Yun'an never kept her thoughts to herself, so she looked at Gu Jinxiao and asked directly, "Is Minister Gu afraid to marry someone above her station, or... does he already have someone he likes?"
"The poem at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Minister Gu was using poetry to express his emotions, right?"
When saying this, Princess Yun'an's eyes were red and filled with tears, but she still looked at Gu Jinxiao stubbornly, wanting to get an answer.
Gu Jinxiao was silent for a long time, so long that Princess Yun'an thought he would not answer.
Gu Jinxiao restrained and forbearingly uttered one word: "...Yes."
Princess Yun'an was deeply saddened and asked, "Who is she?"
Thinking of her reputation for being reckless and impulsive, Princess Yun'an explained: "Don't worry, Minister Gu. Even if I knew, I would not do anything to your sweetheart. I just... just want to know who I lost to."
I am even more curious about what kind of woman a man like Minister Gu who is cold, aloof, dull, old-fashioned, and seems to have cut off all feelings and love would fall in love with?
Gu Jinxiao was speechless.
Princess Yun'an suddenly understood. With Minister Gu's personality, how could she ask him questions that he didn't want to answer?
Anyway, she had already done what she had always wanted to do, and also told Minister Gu exactly how she felt about him.
Even if the answer is not satisfactory, it is better than tossing and turning day and night.
At this moment, Princess Yun An took a deep breath, suppressed the tears in her eyes, and said to Gu Jinxiao: "I understand."
"I am the one who disturbed you tonight. I will not bother Minister Gu again in the future."
After she finished speaking, Princess Yun'an turned around, wiped her tears and ran away.
Even though she was straightforward, she was only a girl of sixteen or seventeen. She finally mustered up the courage to express her feelings to her beloved, but was met with a ruthless rejection. How could she not feel pain in her heart?
However, after Princess Yun'an cried bitterly, she felt a sense of lightness in her heart.
Either way, that's fine.
It would be better to cut her fantasy about Minister Gu completely with one knife than to cut her flesh with a blunt knife.
But...why does her heart hurt so much?
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Xiao Anzi and Taole had been dragged away and dealt with.
Everyone tactfully withdrew, leaving only the emperor and his concubine in the inner room.
Nangong Xuanyu rubbed his eyebrows, with undisguised fatigue in his eyes.
The women in the palace were all restless. Whenever there was a large banquet, they would always try to create some trouble so that they could profit from it.
Fortunately, after Nian Nian took charge of the six palaces, she handled things properly, and they gradually calmed down.
I didn't expect that on the day of Axu's first birthday ceremony, the concubines didn't cause any trouble, but Qingyang was so out of control!
Shen Zhinian walked around behind Nangong Xuanyu, stretched out her soft fingers, gently massaged his temples, and said in a warm voice: "Your Majesty, although there were some minor incidents today, fortunately, things did not get out of hand. Ah Xu's first birthday ceremony was still a success, so don't worry."
Nangong Xuanyu took Shen Zhinian's hand and pulled her to sit on his lap.
Looking at the woman's charming face, he suddenly felt distressed: "Nian Nian, thank you for your hard work."
He already felt irritated and tired after today's events, let alone Nian Nian who had to deal with these trivial matters?
"I am Ah Xu's mother. It is my duty to ensure that there are no problems with his first birthday ceremony."
When saying this, Shen Zhinian's tone was still gentle, and Nangong Xuanyu didn't see the coldness that flashed across her eyes.
She had said long ago that children were her bottom line. She would not let anyone who wanted to hurt Ah Xu go!
Although Princess Qingyang's target today was Gu Jinxiao, she almost ruined Ah Xu's first birthday ceremony. How could confinement alone calm Zhinian's anger? !
Many things in this life have changed. Shen Zhinian is not sure whether the Great Zhou will still send a princess to marry the Xiongnu.
If the trajectory of this life is the same as that of the previous life, don't blame her for being ruthless to Princess Qingyang!
Nangong Xuanyu didn't know what he was thinking of, his eyes became a little deep: "...but I didn't expect that Yun'an and Qingyang were so infatuated with Gu Aiqing, but he was not moved at all."
If other people heard these words, they would definitely think that Nangong Xuanyu was just sighing casually.
However, Shen Zhinian knew this man so well that he immediately smelled danger!
Your heart is unpredictable.
There is also a saying that thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor.
What happened today was the result of Princess Qingyang resorting to despicable means, which damaged the reputation of the royal family.
But when has the royal family ever been a place for reason?
Besides, people’s hearts are biased.
Although Nangong Xuanyu felt ashamed of Princess Qingyang's behavior and punished her, Princess Qingyang was his biological sister after all.
She and Princess Yun'an were both so in love with Gu Jinxiao, but Gu Jinxiao, as a subject, did not take their infatuation seriously at all.
Will Nangong Xuanyu feel that the royal dignity has been challenged?
Would you also think that... Gu Jinxiao is ungrateful?
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet reached the point of internal and external troubles, the court is indeed in need of people.
Gu Jinxiao is young, calm, and talented. When dealing with political affairs, he handles everything very well.
The emperor admires him, trusts him, and values him, and now he will definitely not do anything to him.
But what if... this dissatisfaction turned into a thorn and buried itself in the emperor's heart?
When the situation is settled in the future, who knows if Nangong Xuanyu will hide his bow and arrows after all the birds are gone...
If it were in the previous life, Shen Zhinian would definitely be happy to see it happen, and would even add fuel to the fire!
It’s a pity that she died too early in her previous life, and no one knows what Gu Jinxiao’s final outcome will be.
But in this life... Shen Zhinian knows very well that the court and the harem are closely related, especially since she also has to plan for Axu's future, the Shen family alone is not enough.
Gu Jinxiao is not only the Minister of Rites, but backed by the Gu family whose descendants are spread across the court and the country!
In this life, if I could win him over to work for me, it would definitely be a great help!
Thinking of this, Shen Zhinian suddenly stood up and bowed to Nangong Xuanyu: "Your Majesty, I congratulate you!"
The emperor looked at him puzzledly: "I wonder where the joy comes from?"
Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "To be favored by the princess of the royal family is something that many men wish for but cannot obtain."
"Princess Qingyang and Princess Yun'an are both in love with Minister Gu, but he turns a blind eye to their love. What does this mean?"
