The first male queen [crossing]

Compared with the past when the Fufeng Xue family took advantage of Chang'an to be unstable, Xiao Yuan resisted sending troops back to Chang'an.

This time, it is much more difficult than before to send troops to help the wind for the unification of the world. It is naturally much more difficult to incorporate it into the territory.

In addition, Zheng Yuzhi's delay of the military plane led to the defeat of the war. Although Xiao Yuan used the victory in the subsequent small battle to restore some morale, the Fufeng Xue family has deep roots after all, and it is not a short-term thing to hit a hit.

Therefore, until the end of the year, Fufeng never sent back the news of His Royal Highness King Qing's victory.

The vast snow covered the entire city of Chang'an. This was the first time Gu Junci saw such a large snow scene after he came here. Fortunately, he had ordered someone to build a small attic in the mansion. At this time, he was boiling hot tea in the attic, pushing Opening the window and looking at the snow scene of Chang'an City, it's quite unique.

The water on the stove was already boiling, and the splashed water made some noise when it fell on the stove. Gu Junci refilled tea for himself and Liu Shuxian, and then said:

"What's wrong with Brother Han, he's always suffering from the wind and cold in winter, he's really too delicate, take him to my barracks another day, train him for two months, make sure he won't suffer from the wind and rain again .”

Liu Shuxian drank tea and smiled: "The general is not only good at wine, but even his skill in making tea is first-class."

Gu Junci said with a smile: "I learned from His Royal Highness Prince Qing when I was in Lanling, but after coming to Chang'an, his political affairs are complicated, so he seldom makes tea."

Liu Shuxian smiled and glanced out of the window, just in time to see Lu Qingxuan walking from the courtyard, Gu Junci met him face to face, waved his hand, and Lu Qingxuan came towards this side.

After Liu Shuxian saw Lu Qingxuan, the smile on his face gradually froze.

Gu Junci was a little puzzled: "Brother Liu, what happened?"

Liu Shuxian hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "The general has obtained the special decree that he can not go to court if there is nothing to do. Naturally, there are some things that I don't know. The Taizhong doctor... Oh, it is the father of Lu Yuanwailang who is Lu Qingxuan. , it seems that because of falling from a high position to being a minister, and being ridiculed by the prince's henchmen everywhere, it seems a little uneasy."

Gu Junci raised his eyes to stare at him, and asked, "What about Qingxuan?"

"This Lu Yuanwailang is a calm person. Although he has been ridiculed by many colleagues, he can resolve them one by one. After a long time, no one will touch him again." Liu Shuxian Said, "It's the Taizhong doctor, not as good as his son."

Gu Junci sighed slightly. Hearing the sound of Lu Qingxuan's footsteps going upstairs, he hurriedly looked around with a smile on his face. He didn't sit down until Lu Qingxuan appeared in sight and met with Liu Shuxian:

"The end of the new year is approaching, and the red tape in the Ministry of Rituals is also very complicated. I've never been a meddlesome person, so I simply can't go anywhere today and come here specially to drink tea with Brother Gu. You can't sell it to me."

Seeing Lu Qingxuan picking up the teacup and pouring tea with familiarity, Gu Junci looked at him with extra gentle eyes, and hurriedly said: "Well, I won't sell you, do you still have some snacks?"

Lu Qingxuan nodded, and Gu Junci hurriedly ordered someone to get it.

Gu Junci stared at him pretending to be relaxed, but he was not in a hurry to break it, but just made sweet tea for him himself:

"Brother Liu doesn't talk about outsiders, so I don't avoid him when he says something. He told me, did someone in the court bully you and Duke Lu?"

Lu Qingxuan's hand holding the tea bowl paused slightly, but shook his head with a smile: "No, no..."

Gu Jun resigned: "Duke Lu is nearly half a hundred years old. He once held a high position and was the overlord of one side. Now he has lost his country and has to be a minister for his old man. Many old ministers of the previous dynasty also stayed in the court. Maybe someone will be against him. Lu Gong taunted me, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

"He is so ambitious. Now in Chang'an, he is no better than Fan Yang, but he still wants to show off and make people respect him. How is that possible?"

Finally, Lu Qingxuan put down the teacup and did not look at Gu Junci, but said impatiently that he was dissatisfied.

Gu Junci: "Okay, don't be angry, you know my identity, so I understand your father."

Lu Qingxuan looked at him sideways and said: "No, Brother Gu is different from him. You don't know him. He was used to shrinking and shrinking. Once he gained power, he straightened his back. As a result, the support board broke, and he straightened up. He can't afford to lose his waist, but he still wants others to praise him, and he asked for many things."

Gu Junci stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, consolingly said: "Okay, since these things are unpleasant, let's press the button and not mention them, we can't let you be bothered by these things when you are here."

Lu Qingxuan nodded in agreement, and the next servant brought the pastry, but Lu Qingxuan stopped thinking about the bad things at home, and just ate the pastry to his heart's content.

New Years.

Gu Junci looked at the New Year's celebrations all over his general's mansion, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't celebrated the New Year with Xiao Yuan for two years, and he couldn't even remember what it was like to celebrate the New Year with Xiao Yuan and the others in Lanling last time. .

After the New Year's banquet in the palace was over, it was getting late, and Gu Junci saw the fireworks set off in Chang'an City to welcome the New Year in his attic, drinking wine by himself, thinking about Xiao Yuan, and fell asleep like this .

When Ah Chun went to the bedroom and couldn't find anyone, and came to the attic to look for him, he had already woken up from the cold, and even sneezed two or three times.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the news of Xiao Yuan's victory and return to the imperial court finally spread to Chang'an City. The emperor specially summoned his courtiers to enter the palace, and praised the son who led the army in battle. Award.

Suffering from the wind and cold, Gu Junci curled up at home at the moment, listening to the good news from Ah Chun, he hurriedly said:

"Did you find out when the Second Highness will return to Beijing?"

Ah Chun was stunned: "No, it's only two days left, don't worry, my lord, you still think about how to drink the medicine, and go to meet the Second Highness when you recover."

Gu Junci was just about to have a seizure, but when he saw the decoction delivered, he had no choice but to drink the medicine while pinching his nose: "What sin did I do, I have never drank medicine since I was a child, why did I come here? To be injured is to suffer from the wind and cold, thinking about it, I really... have a conflict with this place."

"My lord, why do you always say small things that you don't understand?" Ah Chun muttered while putting away the bowl.

"That's because your son has a mysterious background."

Meng Chengye's voice came from outside the house, Gu Junci hurriedly looked out of the house, and Meng Chengye, dressed in white, walked into the room with a pastry in his hand, looking at Gu Junci who was sitting cross-legged on the couch covered with a quilt, he couldn't help saying :

"The dignified general who protects the country, because he was drunk and caught the cold, he hasn't recovered for so long."

Gu Junci pursed his lips and said: "Probably because I have never been sick since I was a child, and now I want to mend it all at once, maybe it's because of the medicine."

Meng Chengye said: "As far as I know, the doctor who came to see you here is an imperial doctor from the imperial hospital, and all the medicines used are the best in the palace."

Gu Junci smiled: "These imperial physicians never dare to use strong medicines. They are cautious when using medicines. Naturally, recovery will be slower, but they are indeed very effective."

Meng Chengye stopped arguing with him, and just put the cakes on the small table: "Mr. Qingxuan bought them for him. He couldn't get away from the yamen because he had something to do with him. Let me deliver them."

Gu Junci looked at him straight, stared for a while before saying: "Brother Meng, do you really not understand what Qingxuan treats you? He asked you to come and see him off, so you really came to see him off. "

Meng Chengye paused his hands slightly, and the smile on his face froze. Standing in front of Gu Junci, he looked straight at him and said, "How can I be inferior to Xiao Yuan? However, I asked myself, if I talk about devotion, I am no worse than him."

Gu Junci wrapped the quilt tightly, raised his head to meet Meng Chengye's eyes, and said seriously: "Brother Meng, it's not good to talk about feelings, we are not women, we need to worry about reputation, but it's not easy to say it. I and A Yuan shares weal and woe, and the trust between them is unmatched by anyone."

Meng Chengye closed his eyes and smiled wryly: "In the end, I'm still not as good as him."

Gu Jun said: "Brother Meng, don't underestimate yourself. Naturally, someone will notice your kindness. If he cares, I will never get too close to you."

After Gu Junci finished speaking, he wrapped himself in a quilt and put on his shoes on the bed, but the moment he looked up, he saw Xiao Yuan standing at the door.

He hadn't changed his armor yet, and his face was still somewhat tired from the wind and frost. He raised his brows and eyes lightly, and stepped into the room:

"As soon as I returned to Beijing, I heard that General Gu was ill. I came to visit just after returning from the report in the palace. Wouldn't General Gu invite me to sit down?"

Gu Junci was stunned, then looked up at Meng Chengye, quickly put on his shoes and stood up, but because he was wrapped in a quilt, he almost fell down: "Why did you come back suddenly, I didn't miss any news."

"If I hadn't come back suddenly, I wouldn't have heard that General Gu is so lively here." Although Xiao Yuan smiled, his eyes kept falling on Meng Chengye. Chang'an, now that the king is back, it's time to host a banquet for Duke Lu, just like Mr. Meng."

Meng Chengye cupped his fists and saluted, "I'm Lu Gong's subordinate, and I don't have an official position. I really don't dare to be a son of the Second Highness."

Xiao Yuan laughed loudly and sat down on the chair in the room: "It's just that the father didn't think carefully, and he didn't even arrange an official position for Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng is a talented person who governs the world, so he shouldn't be buried."

Meng Chengye looked at Gu Junci, who was standing in the room with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. I said that I am a subordinate of Duke Lu, and I will naturally not work for others from now on. The Second Highness is disappointed. .”

"But Junci is my great general protecting the country in Daliang. Mr. Meng doesn't serve our dynasty, but he wants to take away a general of our dynasty and go back to the mountains with you?" The smile on Xiao Yuan's face gradually froze, but Seeing that Meng Chengye felt a little happy:

"That's right, it's hard to guard against hidden arrows in the court, and the threat of open swords on the battlefield, it's better to go back to the mountains and forests to feel at ease."

Just as Xiao Yuan was about to speak again, Gu Junci couldn't help coughing, which attracted the attention of two people.

He hurriedly tightened the quilt: "I'll go drink some medicine, you two can chat casually."

Gu Junci just wanted to escape from the scene, but he didn't want to be grabbed by the quilt by Xiao Yuan: "Go back and lie down, I'm already sick, don't make it worse."

Meng Chengye also said: "Didn't you drink the medicine just now, if your mouth is bitter, you should eat some candied fruit."

Gu Junci was inexplicably a little timid, huddled under the quilt and walked away, either staying or staying, and looked left and right: "Stop arguing, I have taken medicine and am a little sleepy."

"Sleep, I'll watch over you. As for Mr. Meng, you can stay and have dinner before going back." Xiao Yuan raised his smiling face again, looking at Meng Chengye and said.

But he was pulling Gu Junci's quilt very hard, as if trying to bear it.
