The general will give birth soon

After entering the palace, Gu Chongming was led to wait temporarily in the side hall, while Si You went straight to the warm pavilion in the outer court of the imperial city, where General Dou, who caused an uproar in a coma, was placed here.

Emperor Chengxuan and Xiao Yuheng sat at the head of the main hall, and a tall, thin and desolate young man stood under the hall: his hair was messy, his belt was like a hemp rope binding meat, and his clothes were tied into different lengths. He was twisted and twisted, as if he was about to fall at any time.

Zhou Wenwen, the youngest son of Prime Minister Zhou Guang who is as fake as he is.

Zhou Guang, Pingnan Hou Dou An, and Ding Guo Bo Sixing sat on both sides, just as Xiao Yuheng's guards said, their faces were very ugly.

Si You said politely: "Your Majesty, the last general has rescued Mr. Gu. But he was eager to save people and failed to capture the assassin alive. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Emperor Chengxuan said that it was all right, and Dou An took the opportunity to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the summer festival was disturbed, and both Your Majesty and Your Majesty were shocked. Now that the assassin needs to be tracked down, I must never dare to worry Your Majesty again because of the evil son's scandal." I dare to ask Your Majesty to return to the palace, I will deal with the scandal of the evil son by myself."

"Assassins have their own punishment department to investigate, and I and the envoy are all fine. Little Dou Aiqing used her tires to protect the driver. How can I ignore him? Besides, little Dou Aiqing, Si You, and Zhou Wenwen are all from me and the envoy." Jun looks at the grown-ups, like younger brothers. No matter which two of them can achieve good things, I am happy. But I am worried that the relationship between the three of you will be damaged because of this incident, and I am afraid that the younger brothers will be wronged. Take a look at it from the side, and you have no intention of meddling in your family affairs. Qing Dou must not misunderstand you." Emperor Chengxuan restrained the Yiran who was watching the show, and explained patiently.

Dou An showed embarrassment, "Your Majesty cares, I am very grateful, there is no misunderstanding, it's just..."

Emperor Chengxuan immediately grinned and said, "That's great, I'll try it for you first." His expression straightened, "Si You, Zhou Wenwen, what happened to Xiao Dou Aiqing and the child in his womb? The imperial doctor said Xiao Dou Aiqing was four months pregnant, and Si You was still in the north four months ago, so..."

"its mine."

Zhou Wenwen suddenly spoke out, his tone was flat and calm, not like a drunk.

Everyone was shocked, Si You looked at Zhou Wenwen in disbelief, and Emperor Chengxuan asked even more curiously: "Oh? Then you..."

"We were both consensual, and more than once."

Zhou Guang was so ashamed that he wanted to grab the ground with his head, and warned, "Shut up."

Zhou Wenwen folded his hands and looked disdainful.

Emperor Chengxuan coughed, "Okay, since you admit it, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Wenwen looked at the void indifferently, and said indifferently: "Just marry him."

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, Si You thought of General Dou, and felt more and more uneasy.

It just so happened that General Dou woke up at this moment, and came out weakly from the side door wearing a robe. He was startled, fastened his clothes, and knelt down.

Emperor Chengxuan asked someone to move a chair for him. General Dou didn't dare to sit anyway, so Emperor Chengxuan didn't force it, and cared about Dou An and Zhou Guang's embarrassing expressions: "Little Dou Aiqing, Zhou Wenwen said he would marry you ,how do you say?"

General Dou was stunned, looked blankly at Zhou Wenzhang, who was acting like a fool, and then at Si You, then lowered his head, smiled very shallowly, and a faint light shone on his ashen-like face.

"Your Majesty," General Dou bowed respectfully, "I am willing."

Si You opened his eyes wide, and Dou An almost jumped up, "What did you say?!"

General Dou was extremely calm, and said in a low voice: "Father, I am willing to marry Young Master Zhou."

"Have you thought it through? Are you really willing?" Xiao Yuheng couldn't help asking.

The rigidity of General Dou's body faded away, and he was as serene as a newly copied ordinance exuding the fragrance of pine smoke and ink.

"It was the first time that Your Majesty and Junshang saw Young Master Zhou after they were young. He happened to drink too much wine, so he was a bit out of line. In fact, he is not like this on weekdays. He is knowledgeable and insightful, and he is very caring about people. He... good."

As soon as this remark came out, even Zhou Wenwen was stunned, and an indescribable feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, which was smothered by the smell of alcohol.

Knowledgeable, insightful and caring about people.

And... well.

No one else had ever said that about him, even if it was a false compliment.

At this point, Emperor Chengxuan immediately issued a decree to grant marriage, and promised to let Zhou Wenwen enter the court as an official after marriage.

Jinkou Yuyan couldn't resist, the rest of the people retreated, and Si You was left alone.

Before he got out of the unacceptable result, Gu Chongming had already entered the hall, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed, and Si You actually felt a little better in his heart.

"I kowtow to Your Majesty, I kowtow to Your Majesty." Gu Chongming fell on the ground, "Thank you Your Majesty and Your Majesty for calling General Si to rescue this little minister. It's a great grace. In the future, I will only care about life and death, and I will be heartbroken!"

"Oh, I'm pretty good at talking." Emperor Chengxuan smiled, "You look up." Gu Chongming's heroic deeds have long been lingering in his heart, but he doesn't know what he looks like.

Gu Chongming listened to the order and raised his head, his round face was white and cute, and his eyes were burning. Emperor Chengxuan immediately couldn't control his association, and quickly raised his teacup to hide his smile, "Today you were not afraid of danger and made a great contribution, but it is also a fault to go to the altar privately. Reward, and punishment for mistakes." Turning his head, he said, "Ai Qing, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Xiao Yuheng said: "Your Majesty, you are in a hurry to follow the power. Gu Chongming is dedicated to protecting the driver. I think the merits outweigh the faults."

"That's right. I'll fine you three months' salary as a warning. As for the reward..." Emperor Chengxuan hesitated.

"My humble servant is bold and wants to ask for a favor on his own." Gu Chongming kowtowed again. "

"Oh? You talk about it."

Gu Chongming smiled meaningfully at Si You, and Si You was shocked. Could it be that this silly scholar wants to...

"I believe that the Taichang Temple should not be abolished. The reason for this is that I have requested a leapfrog upgrade, and I will present it to His Majesty for a preview."

Si You felt lost for a moment, but was filled with shock and emotion almost at the same time.He looked at Gu Chongming with a complicated expression, and couldn't tell for a while, whether what he wanted to hear more was the previous guess or the current fact.

Emperor Chengxuan didn't seem to expect him to say this, but after a little thought, he agreed, and said: "If you want me to read your scriptures, you must have something to say. If you talk nonsense, I will punish you."

After everything was done, Emperor Chengxuan got up and drove, walked two steps and then turned around, "Yes, don't sit on the pail to write your book, or I will let you eat it."

Gu Chongming, who was originally happy, raised his head in panic. Emperor Chengxuan had left the palace with Xiao Yuheng, and only Yu Siyou looked at him and laughed.

Gu Chongming became anxious, and jumped in front of Si You, "What do you know?!"

Si You strode towards the outside of the hall, "I know everything I need to know."

Gu Chongming cried out in grief and indignation, and rushed forward, looking desolate and resolute in the palace under the setting sun, as if preparing to die bravely.

Running all the way to the outside of the palace city, Gu Chongming panted while pressing his thigh with his mouth open, and said aggrievedly to Si You, who came slowly: "What do you know? It's so easy to take the imperial examination, but it's very dangerous to eat badly the day before yesterday." I was paralyzed as soon as I handed in the test, and I couldn’t even stand up! I didn’t get water and rice for a few days when I got home, and then I slowly got better. Originally, I could be the number one scholar, but no matter how bad I was, I would be the top scorer... What do you know, you guys Still laughing..."

Si You supported Gu Chongming's shoulder, "Although you are not the number one scholar now, you have been appreciated by the Holy One and the King."

Gu Chongming's shoulders drooped, and he glanced at Si You aggrievedly, "If I were the number one scholar, wouldn't you look down on me? Do you think it's fine if I marry you?"

"How can I look down on you."

"Forget it." Gu Chongming shook his shoulders wearily, and left with a sad face.

Si You took Xiao Huang who was tied under the tree, followed him and said, "It's too risky for you to ask for such kind of grace just now."

Gu Chongming said: "I have a measure."

Si You opened his mouth, but after all he just said, "Thank you."

"I'm not just here to help you, I also think Taichang Temple shouldn't be withdrawn." Turning to look at Si You's gloomy profile, "Are you unhappy?"

Si Youdao: "The general and Zhou Wenwen's marriage, I always feel...have you heard about Zhou Wenwen?"

Gu Chongming shook his head.

"Zhou Wenwen is Zhou Xiang's youngest son. He was smart since he was a child, but he has an unruly temperament. He likes to ponder around the corners of the world. The loss of children and grandchildren. Zhou Xiang was grateful for the loyalty of the old servant, and adopted Zhou Wenwen to the old servant to take care of him until the end of his life. Naturally, Zhou Wenwen was unwilling , but it is said that he didn’t protest at the time, he made a burden on his own, he didn’t even need a carriage, and walked to the countryside on foot. In fact, Zhou Xiang’s move was also to let Zhou Wenwen suffer and be upright, who knows... "

"Who knew it would become more and more crooked?" Gu Chongming's pure and bright eyes showed sadness, "Parents insist on going their own way, always thinking that it is for the best of their children, but who will see the simplest thoughts of children?"

Si You was taken aback for a moment, his gaze deepened even further.

"It is said that Zhou Wenwen is in the countryside, farming, carrying water, cleaning and serving everything. After finishing, he hides and doesn't speak. The old servant is afraid of ruining the prime minister's son, so I ask Zhou to take it back. So four years ago, the old servant passed away. After Wenwen kept his filial piety, he changed his original name back. But he has never been in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he doesn't know where he is doing all day long. I was also looking into the general's affairs recently, but I didn't expect it to be Zhou Wenwen." Si You He hesitated, "I need to talk to the general again."

When the two reached a fork in the road, Si You told Gu Chongming that he could come to his house if he wanted to see Xiaohu.Gu Chongming said happily that he would keep this time too, then waved goodbye.

That night, under the tree in the dark alley, Gu Chongming and Zhou Wenwen stood facing each other.

"Young master Zhou, needless to say, those assassins were your work. It was your idea to let the admiral bring the wounded back to the palace for treatment as a show of honor, right?" Gu Chongming's eyes widened, "You knew that General Dou was pregnant Pregnant, deliberately waiting for everyone to expose the matter when they are present, the marriage will be a matter of course. You have no sincerity towards General Dou, why do you do this?!"

Zhou Wenwen sneered, "Of course it's to make Si You, Zhou Guang, and even General Dou unhappy. However, Si You is in a bad mood, so it's good for you to take advantage of it?"

Gu Chongming's angry expression gradually stopped, his face was frozen like ice and snow, "It really is you."

Zhou Wenwen was taken aback, "You lied to me?"

"You have succeeded, I hope you will restrain yourself for the time being."

Zhou Wenwen said disdainfully, "Why?"

The corner of Gu Chongming's mouth twitched, "Si You has an upright character, and he will not really get angry unless it is absolutely necessary, but I am different."

The sound of beeping suddenly sounded, and the pungent smoke came out. Zhou Wenwen turned his head and saw that the small house where he lived alone was ignited in the courtyard wall behind him.

Gu Chongming grabbed his sleeve with a haughty expression, "Today I will only destroy one of your wing rooms, if there is a next time, I will definitely put you in it and burn it together!"

Zhou Wenwen's eyes opened angrily, but soon he changed into an indifferent look, "The reason why I made such a big fight is because I made Si You unhappy? Mr. Gu, you really moved your heart. One day, Si You You find out the truth, what do you think he will do? He will not really get angry until it is a last resort, in other words, once he gets angry, he will never look back. Mr. Gu, you think about it."

"I want you to be troublesome." Gu Chongming said coldly.

Zhou Wenwen pulled back his sleeves, "I'm just making trouble for Si You, you know who is really trying to embarrass him."

After warning Zhou Wenwen, Gu Chongming walked home alone, thinking about the future.

Suddenly a net was placed under the hood, and he waved his hand to block it, but no matter how the weak scholar resisted, it was futile. He was easily put into a sack and carried away.
