At this moment, Gu She didn't know whether he should feel sorry for his vase who died with grievances or for his son. He could have liked anyone, but he actually liked Su Qingcheng.
Gu She knew about Su Qingcheng.
He had vaguely seen her at the palace banquet.
That girl was indeed beautiful, and from what the madam said, she had a good personality. It wasn't impossible to marry her.
But the problem lay with her father, Marquis Su.
Marquis Su had led a good army and had never tasted defeat in hundreds of battles in his life.
But perhaps it was because of his strong murderous aura, Marquis Su didn't have any children when he reached thirty.
He took in a few concubines, but none of them could give birth to a son.
Later, under the guidance of a master, he dismissed all the concubines and chanted Buddhist scriptures for a few years. Finally, he had a son.
Because it was not easy to get this son, Marquis Su doted on this son. In the end, he raised Marquis Su to be neither a scholar nor a warrior.
Marquis Su was neither a scholar nor a warrior. Naturally, he didn't have much face in front of the Emperor.
Everyone knew that the reason why the Emperor treated Marquis Su well was because of Marquis Su's face.
Marquis Su's heart was clear.
Therefore, he never thought of using himself to bring honor to his ancestors. Instead, he chose a simpler and less tiring method, which was to let his daughter become the Emperor's favorite concubine, and then use this method to obtain honor.
Anyone with a little bit of face would want to raise a promising son and rely on him to bring honor to their ancestors. Marquis Su, on the other hand, didn't want to rely on his son's hard work. Instead, he wholeheartedly wanted to obtain honor through his daughter.
In terms of shamelessness, compared to Marquis Su, no one was more shameless.
Marquis Su didn't hide his intention to send Su Qingcheng to the palace.
Therefore, even though Su Qingcheng was born with a face as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon, no one had come to propose marriage.
It wasn't that no one wanted to, but Marquis Su was interested in the Emperor. How could they compete with the Emperor?
In the past, Gu She wanted Gu Yuan to marry a wife so badly.
Until now, Gu Yuan had the intention to marry a wife, but the wife he had his eyes on was the future wife of the Emperor.
For a moment, Gu She did not know what to say.
Sure enough, all sons were debt collectors.
Looking at Gu Yuan's serious face, Gu She sighed and told him about Marquis Su's plan in detail.
However, what Gu She did not expect was that he wanted Gu Yuan to give up on marrying Su Qingcheng.
Who knew that when Gu Yuan heard that Marquis Su was going to give Su Qingcheng to the Emperor, his already determined heart became even more resolute. He muttered, "Since that's the case, your son must marry Miss Su even more."
A mouthful of blood was stuck in Gu She's throat, and he almost spat it on Gu Yuan's face.
Bah, what a worrisome son.
Gu She widened his eyes and said, "My son, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that Marquis Su's taste is too high. He doesn't like anyone except the Emperor. Even if I go to his mansion to propose a marriage, he won't agree. Just give up."
Gu Yuan said, "You haven't been there yet. How do you know that he won't agree?"
Gu Yuan frowned and said, "Father, is it that Marquis Su won't agree, or you don't want to help me propose a marriage?"
Gu She's original intention was to tell Gu Yuan that he could not marry Jiujiu.
However, Gu Yuan misunderstood that he was unwilling to help him propose a marriage.
Gu She really wanted to cry out that he was wronged.
He wanted Gu Yuan to marry a wife so much that he was going crazy. Even at night, he dreamed of Gu Yuan marrying a wife. Of course, he wanted Gu Yuan to marry a wife more than anyone else.
However, Gu Yuan was too arrogant. He could have liked anyone, but he fell in love with Marquis Su's daughter, Qingcheng.
No matter how good Qingcheng was, her father was like that. Gu Yuan could not marry her.
Gu She sighed and patted Gu Yuan's shoulder. "Son, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's that Marquis Su's taste is too high. I can't help you."
Gu She shook his head and revealed a distressed expression.
Seeing that Gu She could not help him, Gu Yuan turned to leave.
Gu Yuan wanted to call out to him, but when he thought of Gu Yuan's stubborn temper, he did not.
He would know how much of what he said was true and how much of it was false after a few tries.
Gu Yuan thought that his father could not help him. His mother was the leader of a wife, so she would not help him propose a marriage. After thinking about it, Gu Yuan went directly to the palace to ask the Emperor for a marriage.
Gu Yuan was the Emperor's right-hand man. Moreover, Gu Yuan was born in the Gu family, which was loyal to the Emperor for generations. The Emperor valued Gu Yuan very much. When he heard that Gu Yuan suddenly came to the palace, he immediately summoned him.
The Emperor thought that Gu Yuan had something important to report. Who knew that Gu Yuan would ask him to grant a marriage for him?
An ordinary man at Gu Yuan's age would have already become a father.
The Emperor was five years older than Gu Yuan, but he already had five or six princes and princesses.
The Emperor admired Gu Yuan's talent and ability. He was Gu Yuan's teacher and friend. He cherished Gu Yuan and had long regarded Gu Yuan as a close younger brother.
As for Gu Yuan's marriage, he had vaguely mentioned it several times. He even took the initiative to betroth his sister to Gu Yuan.
But no matter what he said, Gu Yuan always had a hundred reasons to refuse. After a long time, the Emperor did not say anything.
Now that Gu Yuan had taken the initiative to ask him to grant a marriage, the Emperor was instantly interested. "Which family's daughter is it? She can seduce the pure and simple Minister Gu?"
"Answering the Emperor, it's Miss Qingcheng from Marquis Su's residence."
Marquis Su was definitely the most interesting person in the capital.
He had inherited the old Marquis's title, but he did not have enough strength to control his subordinates. He did not know how to improve his strength to help the Emperor. Instead, he wanted to use his daughter's beauty to achieve his goal. He was not afraid of being ridiculed. It was really interesting.
Although the Emperor was muddle-headed, he was not stupid.
Although he liked beauties, he was not blinded by them. Even if Marquis Su's daughter was as beautiful as a fairy, he would at most spoil her for a few days. Marquis Su was thinking too much if he wanted to rely on his daughter to have a meteoric rise.
However, the Emperor still had the intention to take Marquis Su's daughter, Su Qingcheng, into the harem.
After all, it was said that Su Qingcheng was the most beautiful woman in the capital. He was the master of this country. The best beauty in the world should naturally be him.
The Emperor originally wanted to take Su Qingcheng into his pocket after the election. He did not expect that before the election, his confidant would come to him to ask for her.
And the first thing he asked was the best one.
On one side was the devastatingly beautiful woman, and on the other was his most valued minister. The Emperor pondered for a moment and made a decision.
There were many beauties, but it was not easy to find a minister like Gu Yuan.
