However, Zhong Liran, who was nine years younger than her, seemed to be used to this kind of thing. He waved his hoe and turned the tree in a row. Then he stopped, looked up at Gu Siyuan and said: "If you are tired, go to rest and leave me here alone."

Gu Siyuan looked at her, his soft eyes seemed to be as bright as a layer of broken stars.Zhong Liran held the hoe for a moment, then muttered, "Why do you look at me like this?"

Gu Siyuan said bluntly: "Why is Your Majesty so proficient?" Zhong Liran frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "In Zhongzhou, I am used to following my father."

The palace is lonely, and the only way for her to remember her deceased parents is the agronomy that King Zhongzhou once loved.But from now on, something will be different.

Zhong Liran thought for a while, stood in front of Gu Siyuan, raised his head and asked: "The palace is not very boring. I have a yard of flowers and a pond of fish. Next year when spring comes, I plan to plant some Maizi. Of course, it is an important place in the palace, no one can enter without my permission, even the empress dowager."

"Gu Siyuan, do you want to follow me into the palace and see my flowers and fish?"

The author has something to say: Hey, accept your fate, Gu Siyuan, you have no way to refuse her. (From the next chapter, you will know why I said Mai Mai is black.

Chapter 7 II.1

two

Gu Siyuan was placed under house arrest.

Ever since Zhong Liran brought her to the residence of former chief minister Zhong Lidai yesterday, the Empress Dowager's order suddenly came from the palace.Zhong Liran was frightened by the horse and needed to rest here, while Gu Siyuan, as an entourage, accompanied Zhong Liran to recuperate here.

As for how long it will take, the Empress Dowager did not have a clear statement, anyway, Gu Siyuan can't attend the recent class.Considering that Gu Siyuan's parents would be worried about their daughter's safety, the palace also sent a secret decree to the Gu family. After the Gu family got the letter, they hurried to the Hongwen Hall to take leave. They only said that Gu Siyuan was ill.

On this day, rumors spread around the streets of Yuanzhou City that the new emperor was attacked and frightened at the foot of Taiyiguan Mountain.There were so many carriages going to Taiyi Temple that day, many people got stuck in the middle of the road because of this incident and witnessed everything.In addition, there was no intention of concealing it at all in the palace, so it was widely spread.

The new emperor was young, and had no achievements worth remembering. The people on the street just listened to it as a chat after dinner, and seldom cared about what happened to the emperor.But they didn't care. The ministers who hadn't seen him this morning were very concerned, and they were busy inquiring about His Majesty's news this morning.

But His Majesty was not in the palace at all, no one knew how she was hurt, even if someone saw her alive and kicking yesterday, who knew what would happen when she went to Zhong Lidai's place.

All the ministers were panicked, and hurriedly asked the Empress Dowager.The old officials went, and the Empress Dowager just wiped away her tears and couldn't say anything.The Empress Dowager, who was not confused before she arrived, was the young wife of Emperor Chu Ming. Since she proclaimed herself, she has been held in the palm of his hand and pampered by Emperor Chu Ming. She has not experienced any troubles, and she is quite hesitant when encountering problems.Now that she is young, she trusts her in every possible way, and the empress dowager also loves the emperor sincerely.Now when something happens to the emperor, her way of crying is a headache.

The ministers couldn't see Zhong Lidai, and the Empress Dowager couldn't ask anything, so they didn't know the specific situation of Zhong Liran at all.After coming and going, they began to really worry about whether the emperor was going to die.If the emperor is not good, according to the current situation, the regent should be in charge.The regent Zhongli returned, but the prince who had grown up for a long time was not as easy to fool as the little emperor.

Only the old fritters, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, guessed the emperor's intentions in two or three attempts, but now that they couldn't see the emperor himself, all their guesses could only be swallowed.

But Zhong Liran, who made everyone worry about him, was wearing a blue Taoist robe at this time, shuttling through the forest to fertilize the newly turned orange trees yesterday.She rolled up her sleeves, picked up a shovelful of plant ash, and shook it down beside the orange tree.

Gu Siyuan carried a pot of tea and walked out of the pavilion.When Zhong Liran approached, she said, "Your Majesty, please stop and drink some water."

Every half an hour, Gu Siyuan would send water to the forest.Zhong Liran looked up at her, put down the shovel in his hand, and walked over with sweat on his forehead.

Gu Siyuan poured her a glass of water, Zhong Liran took it and drank it with his head up.Seeing this, Gu Siyuan took out the handkerchief, wiped the sweat off Zhong Liran's forehead carefully, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the sun is too bright, and your Majesty will go back in a while, I will replace you."

Zhong Liran raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a straight face: "No need." Gu Siyuan actually likes Yin, and doesn't like places with strong sunlight.Although the orange groves can block some sunlight, it is still too hot after all.

Zhong Liran finished drinking the water, stretched out his hand to push her a few times, and said coldly: "Go back, I'm fine."

Seeing this, Gu Siyuan pursed his lips and said nothing more.Zhong Lidai, who was in front of Zhong Liran, heard the voice and shouted to Gu Siyuan: "Siyuan girl, bring some water to my aunt."

Gu Siyuan originally planned to bring her water, but when he heard her call, he hurriedly set off and walked towards the forest.When he got to Zhong Lidai's side, the white-haired and green-clothed Taoist put down his shovel, went to Gu Siyuan, poured water on his own, took a big sip, and said to Gu Siyuan: "The child will dry with me as soon as he enters the palace." As for the job, I also planted a lot of things, but I am not so delicate, so leave her alone."

Gu Siyuan nodded, and said yes.Zhong Lidai narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at her carefully, and suddenly asked: "Are you still used to living here?"

Gu Siyuan smiled, and replied softly: "My aunt's pastoral residence is leisurely and pleasant."

Zhong Lidai said: "Mai Mai also has a rural residence in the palace. If you like this place, you will definitely like it there too. Well, let's go back." She drank the water in the glass in one gulp, just like Zhong Liran, Drive Gu Siyuan back to the pavilion.

On the first day Zhong Liran didn't go to court, he helped Zhong Lidai apply fertilizer for a whole day here.

On the second day, there were new rumors in the imperial capital, saying that the day His Majesty was attacked, his muscles and bones were injured, and he met a woman from a noble family on his way, and she was carried on his back by Taiyi Guan.

Although this rumor has no credibility at all, after all, there are so many guards around His Majesty, no matter what, he will not let a noble woman carry her up the mountain.So it was said that the woman was just taking care of His Majesty Li, and passed it on and off, so it became that the woman was a disciple of the former chief minister, and met her majesty there, and took good care of her.

All in all, the rumors turned several corners, but within a few hours, it turned out that His Majesty was rescued by a woman, and that woman was still the destined queen, and the monarch of Chu State was about to get married.

The ministers wrote a letter a few months ago to propose the establishment of a posthumous assistant.After deciding on the candidate for the queen, we will get married immediately when His Majesty turns 12 years old.The emperor and empress of the Chu Kingdom were one, and the ministers originally had their own thoughts, thinking about the separation of powers and have not yet decided on a candidate, which is why today's situation has arisen.

Gu Siyuan naturally couldn't hear the rumors from the outside world, but fortunately Zhong Lidai's residence had a lot of books, and on the second day, Gu Siyuan simply read the books.

She made a pot of tea, sat down under the eaves of the front yard with an ancient book in her hand, and concentrated on studying it.Zhong Liran followed Zhong Lidai, brandishing a hoe to renovate the land in the front yard.With the sound of the hoe, accompanied by the breeze, it came to the eaves of the corridor, which was very warm.

After Zhong Lidai got old, he liked rural life, so he left behind the rich life in the palace and lived here in seclusion.As for Zhong Liran's father, a prince who loved the people like a son, he often went to the countryside to farm and inspect the people's conditions when he was alive.

When Zhong Liran was young, he accompanied his father to the rice fields in the countryside several times, but the King of Zhongzhou, Gu Nian, was not willing to let her work in the fields because of her young age.After his father passed away, Zhong Liran was brought into the palace.At that time Zhong Lidai was still farming in the palace, Zhong Liran happened to be there once, and then he often went to squat with Zhong Lidai.

After coming and going, Zhong Lidai arrested her and made her a young man.Over time, Zhong Liran got used to doing farm work.The land that Zhong Liran planted in the palace now was actually left by Zhong Lidai.

The two share the same interests, and they are very happy when they are busy.Others see hard work, but they are extremely happy.After watching it for a day, Gu Siyuan discovered Zhong Liran's new hobby, so he didn't rush to help.

An emperor who likes farming is not unusual among the successive emperors of Chu.After all, there are quite a few strange people in the royal family of Chu State.There are those who like to raise silkworms, those who like to forge iron, those who like to build houses, and those who like to build walls. There are many royal family members of all kinds.

Seeing that she was happy, Gu Siyuan held a book and watched her.Anyway, the tea is brewed, and the distance is so close, the two of them will come to get it when they are thirsty.

After working all morning, the two finally hoeed the field in front of them.After lunch, Zhong Liran took a small hoe and dug holes in the ground.Zhong Lidai stood aside with a small purse, and Zhong Liran dug a hole, so she took out a few seeds from the purse and threw them into the ground.
