Reborn imperial concubine

Lin Ran would chat with Gu Sheng occasionally, just to ask about His Royal Highness's personality preferences. Seeing that Gu Sheng's attitude was not warm, she began to reveal her "prominent background" intentionally or unintentionally.

The daughter of the official servant's family.

Gu Sheng chuckled secretly, no wonder, it happened to be a level above Master Gu, no wonder this girl treated her so superiorly.

There is only such a girl in Mrs. Lin's family, who is over 16 years old and has not been engaged. She probably has her own "ambition".

chatting.Gu Sheng realized that although the girl couldn't hide her domineering demeanor, she didn't actually have any malicious intentions, it was just her personality.

After Gu Sheng took his seat, his attitude towards Lin Ran was a little cold. After about a cup of tea, Lin Ran guessed belatedly that it was because he took someone else's seat.

She stared at Gu Sheng for a while, and then said solemnly: "I'm used to sitting by the window, the light is too weak when I sit in the back seat, and reading and practicing calligraphy are too much for my eyes, so I chose this one." The location, I hope my sister will not be surprised."

Gu Sheng was amused by this reason. Could it be that you need all your reading and writing skills?Can other people's eyes take it all?

The servant of the official department really doted on his daughter too much, with such a defiant character, he dared to cling to the emperor's mind, he was really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

Unknowingly, when the hour passed, His Highness Ninth Prince hadn't come to the school yet, Gu Sheng looked at the sun outside the window, and couldn't help frowning.

Not long after, the master had already entered the school, but His Highness the Ninth Prince hadn't shown up yet.

Lin Ran on the side became anxious first, approached Gu Sheng and asked in a low voice, "What time does Your Highness usually enter the school?"

"Two or three quarters earlier than now." Gu Sheng replied lightly.

Lin Ran was startled, with a face of grievance and anxiety, and asked eagerly: "Then why haven't you arrived today? Is it possible that Your Highness is dissatisfied with me?"

Gu Sheng was uneasy at first, but was amused by her question, and looked at her helplessly, and comforted him: "Your Highness hasn't seen you yet, so you don't need to worry about it."

The teacher began to give the text, until the time passed, and still did not see His Highness the Ninth Prince appeared, Gu Sheng was in a state of suspense, and waited in a daze until the end of the class.

The next class was originally a cudgel training, but it was taken up by the end-of-year martial arts test.

Gu Sheng became more and more flustered, suspecting that His Royal Highness went to the arena to warm up in advance, but this guy would never leave her alone in the school.

Getting rid of Lin Ran's panicked questioning, Gu Sheng hurried out of the school and walked towards the paddock without saying a word.

After some inquiring, I found out that not only the Ninth Prince did not come, but also the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, who have not done anything yet, were also absent from the competition.

Except for Jiang Han who deliberately resigned from the competition yesterday, the other princes, including His Highness the Ninth Prince, were all absent from the competition for no reason.

What happened?

Blood boiled all over Gu Sheng's body, and he looked around for the official children who were familiar with Jiang Han to inquire about the inside story, but he couldn't get an answer. Not only her, but the entire Imperial College was puzzled by the absence of the emperors.

Gu Sheng had no choice but to leave the paddock worried. When he returned, Lin Ran was the only one sitting in the school.

Seeing Gu Sheng's return, Lin Ran immediately had a look on his face, and asked anxiously, "Have you found Your Highness?"

Gu Sheng was troubled in his thoughts, frowned and shook his head, then turned around and walked out the door, and found a quiet gazebo to sit down.

She hollowed out the memory of her head, what special thing happened at this time in her previous life?

Gu Sheng rested his forehead on one hand, he had no clue, Jiang Han never talked to her about major affairs in court, even if she could remember Jiang Han's situation at that time, she didn't know what happened.

I can only wait patiently.

After the time passed, Gu Sheng hurried back home after being ill.

Now she and the Yan family are both living in Jiang Han's outer house, at least there are Jiang Han's cronies guarding the house, so maybe they can find out the news.

Yan Shi was taking care of some wintersweet trees in the backyard with her maid, when she heard the servant announce from afar that "the girl is back", she greeted her out in surprise.

"Why is it so early today?"

Gu Sheng hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard, and said anxiously: "Did the Second Highness deliver a letter to the mansion today?"

Yan asked suspiciously: "Second Highness? What letter? Only your father sends letters every day, wanting our mother and daughter to move back!

Now outsiders suspect that he dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, and the backyard is not peaceful. The eldest prince found out that we moved into the second highness's outer house, and he became suspicious of him in his heart, and he has already assigned all the errands in his hands to other colleagues. "

Yan Shi said this with a sense of revenge on her face. Obviously, she had completely given up on Gu Xuanqing, leaving only hatred.

Normally, Gu Sheng would be happy to hear about Master Gu's current miserable situation, but today he has no time to talk about it, so he went back to find the officer guarding the outer house after a few perfunctory sentences.

The officer was a sixth-rank Jinyiwei Baihu, named Fang Yu, and Jiang Han's confidant.

The man is tall and strong, but his face is like a gentleman's, with slender eyes, the corners of which are slightly drooping, wide lips, honest and honest face, and he is easy-going.

"Master Fang." Gu Sheng walked to the front hall, asked Fang Yu a few words, but still found nothing, so he asked him to send two of his subordinates to follow him, and went to investigate in front of the Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Fang Yu took the order and sent Gu Sheng away, when suddenly Yan's voice came from behind——

"What's wrong with this girl today?"

When Fang Yu heard the sound, a tinge of blush immediately appeared on Fang Yu's fair face. He lowered his head and turned around to report: "Miss Gu just asked about His Highness's whereabouts, but she is now following Madam and doesn't know the current situation of the palace."

"It's not your fault." Yan walked up to Fang Yu and said apologetically, "Master Fang was originally a hundred households in the Fusi of Nanzhen who had a bright future, but now he is assigned to guard our mother and daughter. I have really delayed you." .”

"Don't dare!" Fang Yu looked up at Yan Shi and said, "It's an honor to be able to protect Madam's safety!"

Yan had a soft smile on her face, wearing a lavender embroidered jacket with a lapel, a silk pleated skirt sweeping across the floor, holding a freshly cut apricot-yellow wintersweet in her hand, and her whole body exuded a faint fragrance.

Fang Yu stared blankly for a moment, his eyes fixed on Yan's face.

For many years, Yan has been alone in her boudoir, her heart is stagnant, and she has long lost the vigilance and restraint she should have towards Juegui.

Now not only did he not notice Fang Yu's gaffe, but his gaze inadvertently caught sight of the collar of his ocher red official robe folded into his clothes, and then he calmly stretched out his hand to help him straighten it out.

The moment the slender catkin touched his collar, Fang Yu's whole body trembled, a rush of blood rushed to his brain, his face flushed quickly, and he straightened his body. When Yan Shi tidied himself up, he suddenly took a step back and thanked him. Unable to speak, he turned around and ran away like a dog.

"..." Only now did Yan realize that she seemed to be "too enthusiastic" towards him, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so she hurriedly turned and went back to the backyard.

The guards of Prince Xuan's Mansion all knew Gu Sheng, so she was not hindered when she came to inquire.

Gu Sheng later learned that Jiang Han was urgently summoned into the palace when the sky was slightly rising today.

It seems that something big happened in the palace, and it was kept secret, even the courtiers outside the cabinet didn't know about it.

Gu Sheng had no choice but to go back to the mansion to wait for the news. After waiting for two days, several princes still did not show up, but the matter has gradually spread among the government and the public——

Silla was attacked by the enemy and fell three days ago.

Rumor has it that the Queen of Silla has been captured by Fusang generals and sent to Fusang King City.

When Gu Sheng learned about it, he was struck by thunder——

The queen of Silla is exactly the eighth princess who went to Silla to get married four years ago!

She thought that the eighth princess was implicated by her mother and concubine, so she didn't hear from her afterwards, but she never thought that she would suffer such a disaster!

Gu Sheng's heart was on fire, he didn't know how Emperor Qi You would deal with this matter, the eighth princess' life might be in danger.

**

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Qi You was still pacing back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his hands, and the several emperors bowed their heads in silence.

Zhang Wenzhao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think this dispute must be fought!

Silla is a vassal state of our dynasty, and the tribute has not been neglected every year. Now that we are in this catastrophe, if our dynasty takes care of Fusang's abduction of the princess and stands still, how many diplomatic countries will be chilled?How can I praise my Xia Dynasty's national prestige! "

Emperor Qi You was heartbroken, he already had few heirs, and it was an unavoidable tradition for Shuojun to get married, but now if he directly sent troops to conquer Fusang, then his Eighth Emperor Daughter would surely perish.

How can he be ruthless?

If in order to save the lives of the imperial daughters, the eighth princesses were allowed to marry forcibly by Fusang, the two countries would passively form diplomatic relations due to the marriage, which would inevitably become an indelible shame in the history of the Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Qi You looked solemn, and after slowly sitting back on the dragon table, he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

The few princes were still like defeated roosters, not saying a word.

After a long time, Jiang Han took a deep breath, the phoenix's eyes were cold like blades, and he cupped his hands and said loudly: "I agree with Mr. Zhang's proposition, we must fight!"

The eldest prince only thought that this matter was difficult to turn around, but he was worried that the first one to stand up and agree would be unreasonable, so he took the opportunity to stand up and echo him: "Father, my ministers also agree with Mr. Zhang's proposition. In order to help the vassal state, Yang The power of our country, this time we must fight!"

His Highness Ninth Prince, who was standing far away, finally couldn't bear it anymore, cleared his throat, and said with a little confidence: "Father, once war is declared, how will Eighth Sister's safety be guaranteed?"

Everyone frowned when they heard this.

To make this decision, it is natural to sacrifice the eighth princess, so where is the possibility of ensuring the safety of the captives?

It's just that everyone didn't want to say it clearly. It's really embarrassing that the Ninth Emperor's daughter still has the idea of ​​protecting the Eighth Emperor's daughter.

Emperor Qi You was originally determined to give up on the eighth emperor's daughter, but now that he was asked by the "children's words" from the ninth emperor's daughter, his heart suddenly softened. After a long time, tears overflowed from his eyes, and he choked up and said, "My poor daughter..."

The originally calm princes finally couldn't suppress the sadness in their hearts under the mournful and desperate cry of their father, and fell into grief for a moment, covering their faces and wiping away tears.

The fifth prince suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and stepped forward to comfort him: "Father, if the eighth sister can send a message back, she will definitely die for the country willingly!"

"Martyrdom?" Jiang Chenyue widened her shallow pupils when she heard the words, and immediately stepped out, clapping her hands and said anxiously: "Father! The eighth sister is still in the hands of King Fusang! There is no rush to show our country's prestige for a while, and I will let my ministers bring it back first." Eighth sister is not too late!"

"..." Emperor Qi You looked helplessly at the Nine Emperors, and said sadly: "If I can bring it back, why am I so heartbroken!"

The Ninth Emperor looked up at Emperor Qi You, and said back: "What's the difficulty? Father only needs to send someone to sneak into Fusang King City, find out the place where Eighth Sister is hiding, and bring them back."

Emperor Qi You slowly shook his head: "King Fusang is cunning by nature. The battle is imminent and it is the period when the defenses are the most stringent. Who can infiltrate the Palace of Fusang at this time?"

The Ninth Emperor bowed and replied: "It's not difficult to solve. The emperor may as well pretend to compromise, reward gold, silver and beauties to Fusang, and then he can enter the palace naturally."

Elder Zhang Ge was puzzled when he heard the words: "You want the envoys to sneak into the palace? How could King Fusang be caught by the envoys to find out the whereabouts of the eighth princess?

Even if someone is found, who can resist the defense of a country and bring the eighth princess back safely? "

"Gu Neng." The Ninth Queen cupped her hands to Emperor Qi You and said, "I would like to pretend to be a nobleman and sneak into Fusang King's body. Within five days, I will definitely bring my Eighth Sister back!"

Emperor Qi You was startled when he heard the words, he stood up and said, "You mean, you want me to pretend to be a beauty and bestow Fusang on you?"

"Exactly, a bowl of black soup can make him unable to tell the difference for at least five days."
