Chapter 234 Gong Yuanzheng 21
Chapter 234 Gong Yuanzheng 21
The expedition was for the good of the palace gates, hence the stern voices. Girls are delicate, so it's normal for them to cry.
Ziyu was acting entirely out of his own selfish desires, barging into the women's courtyard. They were all young ladies from noble families, who were well-mannered and not spies, and were very welcoming of his arrival.
With such an eager and impatient look, how could a young lady from a respectable family possibly have a good impression of him?
"Someone, bring up the list of brides so that Zhi Ren can choose carefully."
Elder Hua gave the order directly to the guards.
This Miss Lin must not be chosen by Gong Ziyu. If she is chosen, her father's tragedy will be repeated.
Miss Lin has clearly disliked Gong Ziyu, so she absolutely cannot be chosen. Being chosen would be coercion. She didn't come here because she wanted to be Gong Ziyu's bride...sigh.
Gong Ziyu: “…”
Gong Zishang also stepped forward to advise Gong Ziyu to stop thinking about Miss Lin, as it is very difficult to change one's opinion of someone you don't like.
He watched as the guards spread out the roster in front of Gong Ziyu.
Gong Ziyu saw a name that sounded quite nice: "This one, Ye Zihan."
The three elders nodded: "Notify those three young ladies to come tomorrow."
Elder Yue glanced at his son, who had become dull-witted, and spoke earnestly to Gong Shangjiao.
"Shang Jiao, remember this: never be lenient with spies, and never show them any inappropriate feelings."
"Yes," Miyazaki replied firmly.
It's impossible for him to fall in love with Shangguan Qian. His brother, mother, and all his relatives in the Jiao Palace died at Wu Feng's hands.
The three elders followed Young Master Yue back to the back mountain.
Gong Yuanzheng snorted at Gong Ziyu and left with Gong Shangjiao.
After the elders left, Jin Fan, who had been waiting outside, came in and stood beside Gong Ziyu with Gong Zishang.
...
Qingyue was fast asleep, completely unaware that she had been chosen.
She dreamt that the marriage selection would end the next day, and she and Lin Manman left the palace together. Everything that happened afterward went according to her expectations.
Daybreak.
The brides, dressed in their finest attire, knelt in the hall, awaiting their orders.
Gong Shangjiao's guard, Jin Fu, stepped in first and gave a slight bow to the old woman.
"Please invite Miss Shangguan Qian to the Blade-Holding Hall."
Shangguan Qian took a deep breath. She didn't recognize this guard. Could it be that Gong Ziyu had chosen her and sent another guard to inform her?
A bride asked worriedly, "Lord Zhiren has chosen Miss Shangguan, so what are we supposed to do?"
The bride who was in charge of her sighed, "What else can we do but wait for the palace to arrange a place for us?"
Before they could talk much more...
Gong Yuanzheng's bodyguard, Jin Wu, walked in and bowed to the old woman in one smooth motion.
"Please invite Miss Song Yueqing to the Blade-Holding Hall."
what the hell.
What did she just hear?
Did you hear wrongly?
She thought she heard her current pseudonym. Was she hallucinating?
Seeing Lin Manman's astonished look, Qingyue blinked. Her ears were fine, and she hadn't misheard.
What the hell!
Is Gong Ziyu such an idiot with such a big appetite?
Two brides to choose from?
Or was Miyazaki involved? If so, who chose her?
Her body has become weak. Isn't she afraid that when they're doing *that*, she'll be turned into a corpse?
They're so hungry they'll eat anything!
The next second, Gong Ziyu's guard, Jin Fan, walked in, doing the same thing as before.
"Please invite Miss Ye Zihan to the Blade-Holding Hall."
Both guards disliked Jin Fan and treated him coldly, showing no respect for their palace master because Gong Ziyu treated him well.
Jin Wu, in particular, treats Jin Fan like he doesn't see eyes or nose.
They actually chose three people at once.
Lin Manman didn't hear her name called, and patted her chest in relief. Before she could relax for a few seconds, she remembered that her new best friend had been chosen.
That damned Gong Ziyu!!!
He actually chose two more!
Lin Manman thought that Gong Shangjiao might be chosen together, but she didn't consider Gong Yuanzheng at all because he was too young to meet the requirements.
Three guards arrived. It's possible that Gong Ziyu had chosen one, and after some thought, the guards chose another.
It's no wonder she thought that way; it's mainly because Gong Ziyu's character couldn't withstand public scrutiny.
He frequented brothels every day, entering the women's quarters whenever he wanted. He seemed to care for the girls, but he showed them no respect whatsoever.
With a worried look on her face, she watched Qingyue leave.
Qingyue was still in a daze when she walked with the guards.
If Gong Ziyu had chosen two men, she wouldn't mind castrating him in the middle of the night, wanting to have her cake and eat it too.
She just didn't want to be chosen by that idiot, and she didn't want to live a life of cleaning up other people's messes every day.
That idiot is a complete mess; it's a miracle he doesn't cause more trouble.
Shangguan Qian glanced disdainfully at the two brides beside her. If the guards hadn't come in next, she would have been certain that she had been chosen by Zhi Ren.
But since three guards have come, the one who will choose her must be Gong Shangjiao.
It seems that the jade pendant did leave a trace in Gong Shangjiao's heart, at least making him remember her name, which greatly increases his chances of success.
Ye Zihan, on the other hand, had a happy expression on her face, as if she was chosen by anyone in the palace. She would be the rightful wife no matter who chose her.
Three guards led the three brides into the Hall of Blades.
Each guard was followed by the bride chosen by his master.
The three elders glanced at them briefly, their eyes shining, but didn't look at them much, only remembering their general appearance.
I noticed that the bride behind Jin Wu on the right was prettier than both of them.
No wonder Yuanzheng didn't care that she was a wooden sign.
With that kind of looks, a shallow man certainly wouldn't let her go. I never expected that Yuanzheng is someone who judges by appearance and likes pretty girls.
"The person has been brought."
The three guards bowed to the elders together.
Elder Hua: "Guards, please step back."
"Yes!"
The three guards pushed open the door, went out, and then closed it again.
Before leaving, Gong Ziyu gave Jin Fan a wink, and Jin Fan understood. After leaving, he began to carry out his duties.
Gong Ziyu then took a good look at the bride he had chosen; it was the first time he had looked at her so seriously.
She had a delicate, pretty appearance, but she was a little less attractive than I had imagined, just a little bit.
He smiled slightly at Ye Zihan.
Ye Zihan lowered her head shyly. Seeing that all three palace masters were in the room, and with Gong Ziyu's smile, she knew that she had been chosen as the Lady of the Blade.
She thought she was so ordinary in the crowd that she wouldn't be noticed.
They had already planned to have the palace gates choose a good family for her!
Gong Shangjiao turned his head and found that Shangguan Qian's gaze was fixed on him, and that he was the target. He knew he had to be even more careful in his actions from now on.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at Qing Yue openly and honestly, feeling that he had chosen the best bride.
Forget about my brother, he's trash. And Gong Ziyu's is no good either; he's unlikely to amount to anything.
He's the best; his body is weak, so he can gradually improve it.
Qingyue noticed that Gong Yuanzheng kept looking at her, but she had been chosen by Gong Yuanzheng to be his wife.
The situation is much better than I expected.
He did have more interactions with Gong Yuanzheng than with the other two.
