Chapter 156 I decide my own marriage
As a family member accompanying this autumn hunt, Gao Ningxin sat in the carriage of his own team with a gloomy expression.
Recalling that day not long ago, Gao Ningxin felt as if she had become schizophrenic. Sometimes she was happy and wanted to laugh, and sometimes she was worried and wanted to cry.
What made her happy was the little bits and pieces of getting along with Bai Kaiji that came to her mind.What made her look sad was what her father said to her when she returned that night.
Father said that the eldest prince was already old and weak, so the matter of choosing a concubine for the eldest prince was often mentioned in the court recently, and the emperor and empress also took this matter to their hearts.
As the eldest son of the royal family, the eldest princess must not only come from a famous family, but also must have the best character and appearance among the noble ladies in the capital. Therefore, Gao Ningxin, the legitimate daughter of the Gao family, became the best candidate in the eyes of the emperor and empress. .
"The Emperor and the Empress have always been at odds with each other, but this time it is rare that there was no disagreement. You were chosen by both of them. If you want to take the position of the eldest princess, it must be you." Prime Minister Gao Wei looked at his family being crowned with a solemn expression. The youngest daughter, 'the most talented woman in Beijing', couldn't tell whether she was happy or regretful.
Madam Gao held the handkerchief and sobbed, her voice so sour that she choked her words, "Master, is there really nothing we can do? Then how can the eldest prince be a good match for Ning Xin because he is greedy for women and has no desire to make progress?"
"Madam, be careful what you say!" Prime Minister Gao slapped the case with his palm, and Gao Ning's heart ached for his father, "Don't make irresponsible remarks about the royal family!"
Mrs. Gao swallowed back the words that reached her throat, and cried louder, "My poor daughter, I have promised her a good home, but you keep delaying it, what will happen now?" OK!"
The common people only believe that the royal family, as members of the Tianhuang noble family, are supremely noble. Dashuo has successive emperors in front of them, and the eldest son, the eldest prince, is not much worse. Only a few people in the aristocratic family circle in Shangjing City know about the eldest prince's naughty and lustful nature. The Gao family is one of them.
Gao Ningxin looked at his father with resentment. It would be fine if his father didn't know that the eldest prince was an incompetent person. But he, who was in a high position, knew everything about the royal family best, yet he still ignored his daughter's wishes and sent her there with his own hands. Pushing in the fire pit.
Is this his way of showing his loyalty to the emperor?
This is what Gao Ningxin thought, and he also questioned his father, the prime minister, who was in a high position.
"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Gao angrily scolded his daughter, "As a royalist, I support all decisions made by the emperor!"
"Father, you are just a stubborn old man!" The imaginative Gao Ningxin quickly went through the miserable life after marrying the eldest prince in his mind, and tears instantly filled his eyes. "Father, I already have a sweetheart, how can you bear it?" Treat your daughter so cruelly! Yes, your sisters’ marriages are all decided by you. Do you think they live a happy life? Their husbands all have concubines. I don’t want to be like them. I want to make my own decisions about my marriage. !”
"Sweetheart?!" The expressions of Prime Minister Gao and Mrs. Gao were exactly the same. Everyone knew that the youngest daughter of the Gao family was both talented and beautiful, and had a gentle and polite temperament. She had never done anything out of bounds since she was a child, and she would not do anything in private. When you meet your foreigner rashly, where did you find your sweetheart?
Gao Ningxin straightened her back and raised her neck, "Yes, that's right, we have exchanged love tokens. I will not marry him unless he is his, and he will not marry me unless he is me. The eldest and second princes will all stand aside. Bar!"
"You, you, you," Prime Minister Gao was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "How dare you have a private relationship with a man! Why did our scholarly Gao family have such an unfilial daughter like you! After so many years, Have you learned the boudoir etiquette in vain?"
Prime Minister Gao was so angry that his beard almost started to blow. He raised his trembling arm, intending to hit Gao Ningxin on the cheek.
"Master!" Mrs. Gao quickly stopped Prime Minister Gao. Seeing that he was just pretending, she pushed him back to sit down and quickly used her palms to help him breathe in his chest that was shaking with anger.
"Master, don't be angry," Mrs. Gao used her eyes to signal her youngest daughter to stop quarreling with her neck, and asked her in a soft tone, "Which young master does Xin'er like? Tell your mother quickly."
Mrs. Gao's question immediately made Gao Ning feel discouraged. She was attracted to him, but he didn't say he was attracted to her, and the so-called token of love...
Seeing Gao Ningxin lowering her head and saying nothing, but subconsciously reaching for the purse at her waist, Mrs. Gao suddenly became energetic and said, "As the saying goes, you can tell who he is by seeing what he gives you. people."
"Mother!" Gao Ningxin was ashamed and annoyed, but after hesitating for a moment, he took out the conch beads from his purse.
Conch beads from the deep sea are rare and rare, and their value is even more inestimable. Even my father, who is the head of the civil service, may have only seen a few of them in the palace.Gao Ning thought selfishly and showed the conch pearl in front of the two of them. From this, she could guess that the person who gave it to her must not be an ordinary person. In this way, her father and mother might not be so worried.
Sure enough, as soon as Gao Ningxin took out the conch bead, Prime Minister Gao and Mrs. Gao's eyes widened, but what they blurted out next made Gao Ningxin completely regret the decision he had just made.
Prime Minister Gao: "Ning Xin! Which royal family member are you having an affair with?"
Mrs. Gao: "Isn't this the conch pearl from Ruyi Buzhuang?"
As soon as the two people finished speaking, they immediately looked at each other with frowns on their faces, with a "What on earth are you talking about" expression.
Gao Ningxin exclaimed in her heart that it was terrible, she even forgot that her mother also liked shopping.She held the conch bead tightly in her hand, trying to change her topic to ignore what Mrs. Gao had just said, and solemnly said to Prime Minister Gao: "Father, what are you talking about? This conch bead does not belong to the royal family!"
Prime Minister Gao was puzzled. He had seen such a bright-colored, round and huge conch bead twice in his life. The first time he saw it was when Emperor Heiren, who was still the prince at the time, was playing with it.
Although Prime Minister Gao was nearly fifty years old, his memory and eyesight were impeccable. The conch bead in front of him was indeed the same one he had seen more than ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, when Mu Yuanheng was traveling abroad, he was accidentally bitten by a rare venomous snake in the mountains. After the accompanying boy Cao Bojie frantically searched, he finally found Chi Jue, the "No. [-] Poison King in the World" who was also traveling nearby. Grandmaster.
After Master Chi Jue's overnight treatment, the toxins in Mu Yuanheng's body were completely eliminated. In order to express his gratitude, Mu Yuanheng gave the most precious conch bead to Chi Jue.
More than ten years later, Chi Jue, who regarded all gold and silver jewelry as garbage, by chance, transferred the conch bead to Bai Kaiji. After going round and round, the conch bead not only returned to Dashuo, but also landed in Gao Ning's house. In the hands of his heart, he had a second relationship with Prime Minister Gao, who had seen its grace.
