Changchun Palace, Queen Xu has been quite lethargic recently. She couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep yesterday afternoon. She woke up at night and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so she called Sixue to freshen up.
While Sixue was waiting on the Queen to wash herself, she told Queen Xu what happened at the Holy Day Banquet.
Although the queen is under grounding, she still has the dignity that a queen should have, so it is not difficult to know what is going on outside.
Si Xue said: "The eagle prepared by the fifth prince for the Holy One was half dead, but the Holy One did not get angry. Alas."
Queen Xu snorted coldly: "The less angry he is, the more disappointed he will be with the fifth prince. Now he doesn't even think about it at all."
She paused, looked sharply, and said, "But Hua Jincheng is also bold, and even dared to do anything at the Holy Day banquet."
Sixue said: "Eunuch Hua is honoring you and venting your anger on your behalf."
Queen Xu's eyes flashed with disgust, and she said: "Taking vent for me? Haha."
Si Xue did not dare to mention it again, lowered her head and continued: "Today the Queen is away, Concubine Zhao has made a big splash, and even the ordinary Hotan yellow jade presented by the Sixth Prince was praised by the Holy One.
.but..."
Empress Xu knew it from Sixue's tone, and before she finished speaking, she said: "It's just a moment of glory. You must know that the higher you climb, the harder you fall."
Sixue deliberately left something for the Queen to pick up. Unexpectedly, the Queen did not continue to ask, and asked with a little doubt: "Isn't your Majesty not worried about the Sixth Prince at all? The Holy Emperor also set up a south study room for the Fifth and Sixth Prince to stay together.
Go study politics.”
Empress Xu thought of the scene when she brought the sixth prince out of the cold palace, and said disapprovingly: "There is absolutely no possibility of the sixth prince ascending to the throne. But what, keep talking."
Si Xue said: "However, although the Holy One praised the Sixth Prince, as soon as our Ninth Prince passed by, the Holy One forgot about the Sixth Prince and even held the Ninth Prince on his lap. The Ninth Prince was sensible and asked, 'Where is the Queen?'
, Concubine Zhao retreated from the Lord in dejection. You didn't see how ugly her face was at that time."
Empress Xu was not as happy as Sixue imagined, and said: "I didn't see it, but you saw it?"
Of course Sixue didn't see it. She got the news from others and just wanted to make the empress happy.
Sixue continued: "There is another thing. The Holy Emperor has granted marriage to Prince Gu. The woman is the third young lady of the Sun family. Speaking of it, she has a somewhat crooked marriage relationship with the Jun family. She is just the crown prince's side wife. It is estimated that Prince Gu is from Jiangnan.
When we come back, we will get married."
Empress Xu's eyes were cold and she said: "Gu family, Jun family, so what if we are given a marriage? After going to Jiangnan, do we still expect to be able to return to Beijing in full?"
She glanced at Sixue and said, "Send a message to the Xu family..."
Sixue lowered her head and listened, then said: "Yes, empress."
----------------------------------------
It wasn't until early in the morning that Gu Yu's fever finally subsided.
Only then did the eldest lady, exhausted, inquire about what happened at the banquet.
When she learned that the Holy Spirit had granted Gu Yu a marriage, the tea cup held by the eldest lady suddenly fell to the ground.
Aunt Su asked nervously: "Madam, what should we do? With Yu'er's identity, how can she marry a wife?"
Marriage granted by the Holy Spirit, even though she is not a legal wife, she cannot divorce her.
The eldest lady thought for a while and said to Aunt Su: "Don't mess up the situation first. Even if we are getting married, we have to wait for Yu'er to come back from Jiangnan. We still have time to plan slowly."
Aunt Su left worriedly.
The eldest lady returned to her yard and began to read the genealogy. After reading it, she wrote two letters and gave one to the maid next to her, saying: "Send to Ji's family in Yuzhang. In addition, send Leng
Call the doctor over."
Yuzhang Ji's family is the eldest lady's natal family. Although they are not too close due to the geographical distance, they have had polite exchanges over the years.
The maid took the envelope and said, "Yes, madam."
Doctor Leng came over quickly. The lady hesitated for a moment, but then asked: "Have you heard from Doctor Leng recently?"
Doctor Leng said: "I sent a letter last time, saying that I had arrived in Longxi."
Doctor Xiao Leng and Gu Yu were born in the same year, month and day. He was a baby boy brought back from the widow of Gu Jiajun in order to give Gu Yu an ultimatum.
After the full moon, the eldest lady hid Gu Yu, carried Doctor Xiao Leng and went to the Ministry of Household Affairs with Gu Qiong. Only then did people believe that Aunt Su had given birth to twins, and successfully made Gu Yu the crown prince.
When he was still unaware of the situation, Dr. Xiao Leng existed as a substitute for Gu Yu to a certain extent.
Later, he was kept in the mansion and studied medicine with Dr. Leng, and he was called Grandpa Dr. Leng.
They said they were looking for their parents. In fact, both the eldest lady and Dr. Leng knew that there was a conflict between Dr. Xiao Leng and Gu Yu. The two had been awkward for a while. Dr. Xiao Leng couldn't stand it anymore, so he made an excuse to go find his biological parents.
Gone to relax.
The doctor said: "He can't find his biological parents. Let him come back."
Doctor Leng sighed slightly and said: "The two children are more stubborn than the other. I don't know if he will come back."
The eldest lady handed another letter to Doctor Leng and said, "Send this letter and he will definitely come back."
Doctor Leng thought of something and said: "Madam asked him to come back at this time, but she wanted to..."
The eldest lady said: "The child has been raised in the house, and he and Yu'er have been close to each other since childhood."
Doctor Leng said: "It still depends on the wishes of the two children."
The doctor said: "I have to try it."
The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Gu Yu slept until noon. Knowing that he could no longer sleep, he got up top-heavy.
After finishing dressing, he called Luo Yan in and asked, "Did Qiong'er come here last night?"
Luo Yan said: "The third lady came here, sat for a while and then left."
Gu Yu nodded and hurried to Fangting Courtyard.
Unfortunately, when she arrived at Fangting Courtyard, the door was still closed. She knocked on the door, and Sang Ya walked in and closed the door again.
Sang Ya said: "Miss San didn't sleep well last night, and she's still sleeping now."
Gu Yu crossed Sang Ya, took two steps forward, and said to the door: "Qiong'er, I know you are behind the door. You came to see me last night, right?"
There was no movement at the door.
Gu Yu continued: "I'm going to Jiangnan. I don't know when I can come back. Can you let me take a look again? I have something to tell you."
Sang Ya retreated silently. Gu Yu stood outside the door and waited for a long time. The door was still closed.
It was getting late, and Gu Yu could not wait any longer and said at the door: "Qiong'er, what I want to say is, do you still remember what I said to you in Yangkang Bookstore before?"
There was no response inside, and Gu Yu said: "If you still remember, I hope you can trust me again."
The two doors remained tightly closed, and Gu Yu walked away lonely.
Gu Qiong heard Gu Yu's leaving footsteps, pressed against the door, and saw her brother's leaving figure through the crack in the door.
She covered her mouth and cried silently.
How could she not remember?
She just felt that she couldn't face her brother.
Dong Changmao said that her brother would be thrown to death, but she didn't believe it. She struggled desperately to find her brother.
But Dong Changmao said again, if you dare to go out, everyone will know that you shamelessly seduced me, and no one will believe you.
Her brother's life was in danger, but she huddled in the closet out of fear.
How can I, who is so cowardly and selfish, have the nerve to see my brother again?
