128. Once remembered that the years are stable and correct
The news that Duke Zhen Guo was looking for a son-in-law quietly spread among the noble families in Kyoto.
Naturally, the emperor also heard about this.
After the morning court that day, after talking about business, the emperor asked,
"Ai Qing, does it bother you that the child Jingheng is recuperating at home?"
Gu Shaolue hesitated and said cautiously,
"Second Young Master Pei's injuries are almost healed now."
The emperor smiled, picked up a memorial on the table,
"On the day Aiqing came back, there were not only riots in Kyoto, but something else happened as well."
He paused, picked up his pen and circled the memorial, and then said,
"Ai Qing must also know that the person who saved Jing Heng in the backyard of Zhenguo's mansion was actually a daughter of several thousand."
"Someone mistakenly claimed the credit. Back then, I gave a generous reward to the person who pretended to take the credit."
"Now that I have found my true savior, I think I will always reward him generously."
Gu Shao knew about this these days, and he also understood why A Yuan sat alone by the pond holding the stuffed doll.
During those days, he was immersed in the pain of losing his wife and cared little about Ayuan.
This caused A-Yuan to become seriously ill after entering the water, and she forgot all about what happened during that period.
Gu Shao stepped forward to salute and said to the emperor sincerely,
"Your Majesty, even if my daughter had saved Mr. Pei, she would never dare to accept this reward."
"If you think about it, Third Young Master Pei has already repaid my daughter."
"Please, Your Majesty, please take back your order. My little girl has done something unintentional and I really don't dare to accept this favor."
Gu Shao also knew a lot about the bride-robbing incident, and knew that Pei Jinting was solely responsible for the crime in the first place and that A-Yuan was not involved.
Gu Shao lifted his robe and knelt down,
"His Majesty……"
The emperor did not allow him to continue speaking,
"My dear, this matter is settled."
"The reward will be delivered to the house soon. My beloved, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a family man."
When it comes to this matter, if you refuse any more, it will appear to be ignorant.
Gu Shao swallowed what he wanted to say before and kowtowed respectfully.
"On behalf of my little daughter, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
The emperor smiled and waved his hand,
"Jing Heng, please let him stay in your house for a while longer."
"This child looks free and willful, but he is actually a good person. If he has any rude words in the house, I hope you will give me more advice and care."
Such a loving and solemn tone can only be seen in elders who love their children very much.
Gu Shaofeng's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. It was undeniable that Pei Jinting was a good child.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about it in the first place.
Only they met at the wrong time.
After Gu Shao left, the emperor sighed.
"I'm trying to help Jing Heng."
Gu Shao always seems to be bold and bold when doing things, but in fact he is restrained.
This can be seen from the disappearance this time.
If it weren't for him, the court wouldn't have been able to get so many benefits.
Now, Gu Shao said that he wanted to marry his daughter without any ostentation. It seemed casual, but in fact he had a clear purpose.
Let others see clearly that Gu Qingyuan is his Gu Shao's daughter, so don't mess with her without a wink.
In addition, it was to get away from the matter of snatching the bride, and at the same time, it was also a statement of attitude to the emperor and the Cheng'en Palace.
Finally, it is not ruled out that he really wants to find an obedient, sensible and caring son-in-law for his daughter.
What seems like an ambiguous message is actually unfathomable behind it.
However, after a while, the emperor smiled and said, "Jing Heng has never let go of the thing he likes."
Pei Mansion, Guest House.
While Pei Jinting was drinking the medicinal soup, a figure came in behind He Zheng.
"Sir, there is now news among the nobles of the aristocratic family that Duke Zhen Guo is looking for a son-in-law."
Pei Jinting originally felt that the medicinal soup was extremely bitter. When he heard this, he found the medicinal soup even more difficult to swallow.
I was getting angry, but I told myself to hold it back.
The more times like this, the more you need to stay calm.
In a competition, it's not about who does better, but who can calm down better.
Since the last time he used a trick to let Gu Qingyuan come to visit and was discovered by the Duke of Zhen.
He has always behaved himself, nothing happened again, he takes medicine when he should, and sleeps when he should.
At this stage, what the Duke of Zhen needs most is his peace of mind.
If he jumps up and down, Duke Zhen Guo will completely kick him out.
He also knows that Gu Qingyuan has a grudge against her now, and if he continues to intervene in her life casually and stalk her, it will only push her further.
Even though he knew this, Pei Jinting was still very angry.
He Zheng carefully peered into his face and asked,
"Sir, would you like to show you those records that are trying to seduce others?"
"Don't look at it." Pei Jinting threw the medicine bowl on the low cabinet. When he heard this, he came to the fire, his face was cold, and he gritted his teeth, "Burn it."
He Zheng took the order and went down to burn something. Pei Jinting leaned on the bed rail and sulked for a while, and finally shouted helplessly,
"Bring me the record just now."
He would like to see which people who have taken the courage of their ambitions dare to change their minds.
He Zheng said "Oh", scratched his head and said in panic,
"Sir, the little one has been burned according to your instructions."
Because of He Fang's incident, the personnel around Pei Jinting were severely reorganized.
If it were normal, He Zheng would still think about it and delay it for a while to prevent Pei Jinting from regretting it.
Now he didn't dare to delay. He threw it into the furnace as soon as he left home, not even leaving any scraps of unburned paper behind.
Pei Jinting laughed without any warmth,
"Then go and write another one."
It's not that Gu Qingyuan doesn't want to visit Pei Jinting these days, but if she walks towards the guest house.
The guards that Gu Shao brought back appeared out of nowhere, bowed and said,
"Girl. The master said there is danger over there, and asked the girl not to get close..."
The corner of Gu Qingyuan's mouth twitched. Her father regarded Pei Jinting as a scourge.
That day, she was copying scriptures on the table when a new maid came outside and said,
"Girl, the concierge brought a box of books, saying they were new books from the bookstore."
Gu Qingyuan used to make a reservation with Aihe Bookstore, and they would deliver it to her door after a few days.
I'm just a little surprised, why does the bookstore know that she is now in the Gu family?
The concierge brought the books into the room. Gu Qingyuan asked the new maid to go down and open the book box. There was a letter lying on it.
The words described by the sharp pen made Gu Qingyuan purse her lips.
It was actually sent by Pei Jinting.
Didn't you dare to come to see him blatantly, so you just gave her the book in a roundabout way?
Gu Qingyuan picked up a book and was about to flip through it. The next moment, she threw it away like a hot potato.
She couldn't believe that Pei Jinting, a shameless person, would give her that kind of book.
The pictures in the book are lifelike and extremely wild.
She blushed and looked through other books, all of which described the joy of boudoir.
Shameless.
Gu Qingyuan spat in her heart.
This day, she was a little uneasy. She wanted to get rid of those books, but she was afraid that it would be too obvious.
Thinking about it, my head hurts.
After taking a bath in the evening, she rubbed her head, gathered up her middle coat loosely, opened the curtain, and was about to lie down when a person suddenly turned over behind her.
