Chapter 186 The Most Perfect Husband
Everyone is paying attention to this issue.
Nalan Zhu'er was also a little conflicted.
Her brows were furrowed and her eyes moved between the four people.
Seeing that the young lady was hesitant to make a decision, Gu Xueyi whispered beside her:
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince is now the only prince of the right age for His Majesty the Great Chu. He may take that position in the future..."
The other person next to him was named Xu Mu, who was very polite and refined. He said:
"It would be best if the Sixth Prince could succeed. If he fails, it would also implicate the princess and Southern Xinjiang."
"What do you know?"
Nalan Zhu'er said depressedly: "Okay, stop arguing, who should I marry or you?"
The two of them choked and stopped talking.
Nalan Zhu'er's eyes swept over the four people, and she came to Gu Qingning.
"Qing Ning, which one of them do you think is better?"
Gu Qingning smiled politely, "Everything is fine."
Nalan Zhu'er was very dissatisfied with this answer, "How do they compare with your Lu Jingyu?"
Of course not.
But after all, the Sixth Prince and Lord Ouyang were there, so Gu Qingning smiled politely, "In my heart, my husband is naturally the best."
This answer is flawless.
There is nothing wrong with it.
Nalan Zhuer was discouraged.
Princess Jiamin was laughing so hard that her body shook. "Nalan, if you ask a married woman, no matter what she thinks in her heart, she will definitely answer that her husband is the best."
Otherwise, Gu Qingning would be asking for trouble.
Nalan Zhu'er asked back, "Then how do you think the four of them compare to Lu Jingyu?"
Princess Jiamin said solemnly: "These four people have their own strengths in both civil and military strategies, but when we take them together, Young Master Lu is indeed better."
Although she didn't seem to be as obsessed with Lu Jingyu anymore.
But we have to objectively admit that the other party is really excellent.
He is the perfect husband that all the noble ladies in the capital want to marry.
Nalan Zhuer was furious.
She asked in vain!
At this time, the four people were getting impatient waiting.
The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Princess Nalan, have you finally decided which one of us you will choose?"
Nalan Zhu'er didn't shy away, "This princess hasn't made up her mind yet, what's the matter, Sixth Prince, is anxious?"
The Sixth Prince: "No hurry, but I'm curious, what are you hesitating about, Princess? Can you tell me about it?"
After he finished speaking, the other three stopped drinking tea and looked towards Nalan Zhu'er inside.
Gu Qingning was sitting nearby and could see it clearly.
The Sixth Prince saw Nalan Zhuer's hesitation and forced her to make a quick decision.
When a person is wavering, if someone forces him, he may lose his composure and make wrong judgments.
Sure enough, Nalan Zhu'er fell into the trap.
She began, "I don't know the four of you very well yet, so I want to ask you a few questions."
The Sixth Prince raised his lips slightly, "Princess, please ask."
The other people also nodded.
Invisibly, the rhythm was taken away by the Sixth Prince, and the other three people had no objection for the time being.
But Nalan Zhu'er was not a pushover either. She said bluntly:
"You are here to participate in the competition, which means you don't have a wife at home. So now tell me how many concubines you have in your family. Concubines and maids are also counted!"
As soon as she said this, the smile on the Sixth Prince's face froze.
Over the years, in order to build up his image as a dandy prince, the Sixth Prince had so many women in his backyard that he himself couldn't even count them.
Among the remaining three people, the burly man was the first to speak honestly.
"There are only two concubines in my family, no other women."
Ordinary sons of noble families, before they marry a wife, will at most have two concubines in the backyard to teach them about human affairs.
So after this man finished speaking, he raised his chin and looked quite proud.
The Sixth Prince's face turned even darker.
Gu Qingning sat there and suddenly remembered that Feng Shi had arranged for both Lu Jingyu and Lu Hangzhi to have concubines, but the two brothers refused.
Lu Jingyu didn't want it at all.
But Lu Hangzhi finally married Bi Yue, and now he has many wives and concubines.
The remaining two people spoke one after another.
Cen Jue: "I don't have any concubines."
Ouyang Rui: "I don't have any concubines either."
The Sixth Prince, who was surrounded by a bunch of beautiful girls in the backyard, said: "..."
Nalan Zhu'er was shocked. It turned out that there was someone who was already twenty years old and still didn't have a concubine.
And there are two such people at once?
Princess Jiamin, who was sitting next to her, was also very surprised.
The burly man who was also shocked and had no ulterior motives asked in surprise: "Don't you two like women?"
Ouyang Rui's mouth twitched, "Please be careful with your words."
Cen Jue also said seriously: "Brother Wang, this kind of thing can't be a joke, otherwise we wouldn't come to the arena to ask for the princess' hand in marriage."
However, Nalan Zhu'er's expression relaxed, and she said cheerfully:
"This princess doesn't like sharing a man with so many women, so Sixth Prince and Prince Wang, please go back!"
Prince Wang walked away dejectedly.
The Sixth Prince was unwilling to give in. He wanted to see who Nalan Zhuer would choose in the end!
Others are also watching.
Seeing that Ouyang Rui was left alone, Princess Jiamin felt inexplicably nervous.
She turned her head and asked Gu Qingning, "Qingning, who do you think Nalan will choose?"
Gu Qingning shook her head.
She really doesn't know.
But from her point of view, she hopes that Nalan Zhuer will choose Ouyang Rui, so that the emperor will feel at ease.
If Cen Jue was chosen, the Ninth Prince would probably have an extra bargaining chip.
However, if Nalan Zhuer really chose the Ninth Prince, in order to avoid suspicion, the spy who colluded with Southern Xinjiang would no longer be the Ninth Prince?
Not necessarily.
Nalan Zhu'er's eyes swept across the faces of the two people.
She then asked, "Each of you tell me one good thing about me."
Ouyang Rui frowned. Although he chose the martial arts competition, to be the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple one must be proficient in both civil and military affairs.
When it comes to words to praise women, he can definitely come up with them easily.
But the point is, he didn't think the Princess of Southern Xinjiang had any good qualities, and she was even a little too spoiled.
Such a preconceived idea made him pause.
Cen Jue beside him spoke first, and only said one word.
"The princess is lovely."
If an ordinary woman were praised like this by a man, she would be shy and embarrassed.
Gu Qingning discovered that Nalan Zhu'er did not blush, but her eyes were bright, and she even stopped Ouyang Rui who was about to speak.
"Cen Jue, right? It's you!"
Is it decided like this?
Gu Qingning looked at Nalan Zhuer in surprise.
Nalan Zhuer continued to say to Cen Jue: "Mr. Cen, please go back to your residence and prepare first. I will report to His Majesty and ask him to grant us the marriage."
The elegant Cen Jue bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
When the Sixth Prince, who stayed behind, saw that the Princess of Southern Xinjiang actually chose the Ninth Prince's man in the end, he immediately became unhappy!
He pointed at Cen Jue and asked, "Why did the princess choose him?"
Nalan Zhuer: "He has no concubines."
The Sixth Prince: "I can explain the matter of the concubine. In fact, Lord Ouyang is not bad either. Why did the princess choose Cen Jue? Do you know him?"
Nalan Zhuer: "He has no concubines."
The Sixth Prince smiled awkwardly, "Princess, choosing a husband and getting married is a lifelong event after all. Don't be so hasty. You can think about it more. Maybe you don't like this Cen Jue."
Nalan Zhuer: "He has no concubines."
The Sixth Prince: “…”
He was so angry that he stormed out.
Gu Qingning looked at the angry back of the Sixth Prince and knew that he would rather be defeated by the Emperor's men than by the Ninth Prince's men.
And that Cen Jue was clearly the Ninth Prince's man, and now he had the help of Southern Xinjiang...
The husband selection in the competition came to an end. Next, Nalan Zhuer was going to the palace to meet the emperor, and the others also dispersed.
Gu Qingning was tired, so she said goodbye to them and prepared to get on the carriage back to the Duke's Mansion, but she met Bai Lansheng on the way.
She was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Bai Lansheng: "I accidentally learned something that is related to what you have been investigating."
Gu Qingning's expression changed.
She did not hide the fact that she was investigating the Lin family tragedy from Doctor Bai at the beginning, and later Wei Shuhe and Bai Lansheng also found out about it.
However, both of them kept their mouths shut, especially Wei Shuhe, who has still come to Beijing to help her.
Bai Lansheng also said that he would use his own methods to help her investigate the truth.
Gu Qingning said quickly: "It's inconvenient to talk here, go to the clinic and wait for me."
"good."
Bai Lansheng turned and left.
Gu Qingning also lifted her skirt and let Banxia help her get on the carriage.
"Mo Yu, go to the clinic."
Gu Qingning didn't want Mo Yu to drive the carriage, but the other party just didn't trust other coachmen every time.
In the end, it was up to him.
But this time, after Gu Qingning gave orders for a long time, the carriage did not move.
She was thinking about what Bai Lansheng said about the Lin family, and couldn't help but lift the curtain.
As a result, I saw Lu Jingyu step into the carriage.
Gu Qingning subconsciously stepped back and leaned back on the cushion, with confusion in her eyes.
Banxia immediately and sensibly retreated and stayed outside with Mo Yu, leaving the space to the couple.
The carriage started moving.
Gu Qingning was surprised, "Jing Yu, why are you here?"
Lu Jingyu: "His Majesty is worried that someone might cause trouble today, so he specifically asked me to bring people to guard nearby."
In fact, Lu Jingyu didn't need to come.
Even when he saw that the party had dispersed, he should have returned to the palace to report and should not have stayed.
But for some reason, after Zhufeng reported that Bai Lansheng had appeared, Lu Jingyu suddenly didn't want to go before His Majesty to report.
You can go later, there is no conflict here anyway.
By the time he figured it out, he was already on the carriage.
Gu Qingning didn't doubt it, nodded, and took the initiative to talk about Bai Lansheng's story.
"I just ran into him, and he said he accidentally got some information about the Lin family. I care about Madam Lin so much, so I told Doctor Bai, and he knew about it, and he also said he would help me investigate."
"That place just now was not suitable for conversation, so we agreed to talk at the clinic later."
After hearing this, Lu Jingyu nodded slightly, his expression unpredictable.
Gu Qingning saw that he was sitting in the carriage and had no plans to leave for the time being.
She asked tentatively: "Jing Yu, are you okay later? If not, come with me to the clinic and listen to what Bai Lansheng has to say?"
