Force a good concubine

According to the previous practice, the emperor walked all the way with his head depressed like this. If he went north, he would always go to the Genggufang of Xuanwu Gate, and if he went south, he would always go to the Six Section Gallery and the Cabinet of Meridian Gate.However, the emperor had already avoided the imperial court for the reason of violating the peace, and he also avoided handing over the sign to see people. It is not appropriate to appear in front of the important officials in such a safe and sound way at this moment. Cui Chengxiu followed behind in a panic, seeing that Gu Yuan was lagging behind After a few steps, I was about to wink and deliver the news, but when the emperor reached out and pulled Gu Yuan to his side, he almost wanted to cry without tears: when the emperor was thinking about his thoughts, he usually had no other thoughts, and Gu Yuan had entered the palace not long ago, so he might not I don't know the way, if the two of them arrive at the door of the cabinet together like this, wouldn't they just become the talk of the cabinet ministers?

He couldn't stop chanting Buddha in his heart, seeing that Gu Yan didn't know what he had said to the emperor, the two stopped at the gate of Guangfu Gate, secretly overjoyed, since the little eunuch took the yellow satin and cotton burden cover and hurried up, took the The silver bottle inside was presented to the emperor: "Young Master, are you tired? Let's drink some water and rest." As he spoke, his eyes quietly looked up and down Gu Yuan, "The people in the value room on Xijiadao are lazy, how can the snow not be clear?" Clean up? I'm so tired that Miss Gu's shoes are wet! Missy's wrist—"

The emperor stood in the leeward position, and just poured a cup of tea from the silver bottle with his own hands, as if he wanted to pass it to Gu Yan. Hearing this, his hand trembled, and most of the tea in the small silver cup poured out on his hands. Cui Chengxiu was taken aback, and took a towel from Cui Sanshun's hand and carefully wiped it: "Master, is it hot?"

The tea in the silver bottle was neither warm nor cold, and the entrance was just right. The emperor was fine, so he ignored him, and just said casually: "I'm fine." The red fingerprints on Hao's wrist were very clear, which made her feel a pain in her heart: "Zhen, I really didn't notice—why didn't you tell me that you were hurt like this?"

Cui Chengxiu's eyesight was too good, and her mouth was too fast, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. Gu Yan secretly complained in her heart, and retracted her hand to comfort the emperor: "This is a problem with slaves since they were children. A little force will leave marks. Just look at it." It’s scary, but it’s okay.”

"How can it be regarded as harmless?" The emperor glanced at Gu Yuan's feet. The maids' crested shoes were all with their heads turned up and their mouths shallow, embroidered on satin or decorated with rice beads. It is only suitable for use in corridors and halls.At this moment, most of the satin on Gu Yan's feet had been stained by snow mud. The emperor leaned over and pressed it, his tentacles were wet, and it was obvious that the taste inside was not very pleasant. His eyebrows were involuntarily tightened, and he got up and looked back for a week, and gave Cui Chengxiu an order: "Let them come out to sweep the snow." As he spoke, he dragged Gu Yan into the Guangfu Gate guard room.

She acted very calmly, but the eunuchs and maids on duty inside and outside the room were all stunned, not to mention the emperor, since the first emperor mourned the emperor and mourned the emperor, when did he ever see a serious master in the palace show consideration for a little palace lady? ?Li Fuming, the head of the Guangfu Gate, sworn brothers with Cui Chengxiu, called the guards to come out and clear the snow. Seeing that the little eunuchs were working in full swing, he took a few steps back to give Cui Chengxiu, who was guarding the gate, a thumbs-up, and then pointed at the door curtain. Whispered to him in a low voice: "Who is it? Sure enough, the holy family is extraordinary. You are close to the water, and it seems that you are not far from Gaosheng!"

The news in the palace travels fast, the news that there is a lady sleeping in front of the imperial court who has been favored is released, and it can spread throughout the east, west, north and south of the palace in noon.Cui Chengxiu lifted the curtain and glanced in. Both of them took off their cloaks and sat in front of the brazier. The emperor held Gu Yuan's hand with one hand, and the other hand was stained with the ointment sent by the imperial pharmacy. Covered by the blue silk cotton door curtain, he went down the corridor and grinned silently at Li Fuming, with an unspeakable meaning in his smile: "What promotion? This one is different from the usual ones, it's useless to flatter him!"

"I heard that the newcomer to the imperial court was selected from the scripture factory?" Li Fuming disagreed. The young master has always been very well behaved, this job is not exciting, and it is not easy to get promoted, I would rather let the newcomer take the top position, I didn't think about it, just jumped the dragon gate like this, those aunts and elder sisters will regret it!"

"Is there still such a picky and snobbish errand in front of the imperial court?" Cui Chengxiu felt uneasy, snorted, and raised the air of the chief executive in the imperial court, "Still chewing your tongue like this behind your back—Okay, you can inquire for me. Write down such a person for me, and if there is a lack of people in front of the imperial court in the future, it has nothing to do with such a person, and you don't need to fall into the eyes of the young master until you die, and save them from worrying about it!"

Li Fuming smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly changed the subject again: "Speaking of which, it was really a coincidence for my young master to take a stroll this time. When I came back from the gate of Xihua, the people from the Ministry of Rites were leading Prince Gong's son to salute at the gate. The appearance is really carved out of the same mold as the young master. If there is a stick of incense earlier, the two of them may meet each other—although this one has just entered Beijing, but in terms of being close and honorable, it is also the first one. I heard that The people at the Xihua Gate said that they only sent a kneeling mat to them, and they offered a reward of ten taels per person for a meeting, such a generous and kind His Highness is really rare!"

Maybe the emperor just saw the record of Prince Gong's son's entry into the capital, which caused such an incident. If it really happened, what kind of trouble would happen?Cui Chengxiu didn't dare to say such words, she just pretended to be perfunctory, and Li Fuming didn't care, seeing that he was not interested in this one, she changed the words and continued to chat with him: "I just said—" He didn't say a word Suddenly, the door curtain moved, and before he could react, Cui Chengxiu had already pulled him to kowtow in the corridor. The emperor looked into the corridor and saw that the bluestone corridor was clean. Beijing?"

I don't know how much the emperor listened to those words just now, but Li Fuming's voice trembled when he replied: "Don't dare to lie to the young master, the servants have seen it with their own eyes."

The emperor heard the phrase "Prince Gong's son" in front of the curtain, so he stopped and listened. Seeing him kowtow as white as paper, he didn't care, stretched out his hand and took Gu Yuan's right hand, and said, "Let's go!"

Seeing a group of eunuchs and court ladies winding away behind the two of them, Li Fuming heaved a sigh of relief and realized that the clothes on his back were wet. He felt admiration and comfort at the same time, just like the rumors said, the emperor has such a careless temperament. Well, if it wasn't for some kind of charm, who would be able to fascinate her so much that she wouldn't be able to see anyone, and would walk around the Paradise Street hand in hand like this?

It should be said that the censors in Beijing were really fast at writing notes. The emperor went out for a round and came back.Because it was a rumor, so there are various speculations about the emperor's dismissal. Some advised the emperor to take care of his body and drink less, some heard that the palace had chosen a secretary to secretly persuade the emperor to temper himself, and some advised the emperor to play less and be obedient. There were even those who advised the emperor not to participate in Buddhism and Taoism. The emperor couldn't laugh or cry, so he simply threw them all back into the box, and asked them to send them to Lin Yuan for screening. He caught a glimpse of Gu Yuan coming in with a tea tray, and frowned displeasedly: "Your wrist Injured and unable to work—where's Yuniang? Where's Cui Chengxiu?"

"What kind of injury is this?" Gu Yan put the small begonia red teacup in the tea tray on the imperial case, and retorted calmly, "Yunniang took leave of absence from the palace today, and Director Cui was summoned by the Queen Mother. Is there an errand for tea?"

It stands to reason that Gu Yuan wanted to try everything for the emperor first, and the emperor really couldn't leave when he was eating tea. The emperor had no choice but to take a sip from the tea cup, and looked at Gu Yuan for a moment, hesitating: "Ah Yuan, I, today—— "

"Master has already said it three times." Gu Yuan smiled at her, "Do you want to say it the fourth time?"

"No, I don't know how to say it, I just feel—" The emperor frowned and hesitated to speak.All of a sudden, they got together so quickly, she thought that Gu Yan would be as embarrassed and bewildered secretly as herself, but Gu Yan lost his previous cautiousness overnight, and was more calm than the emperor, handling all kinds of errands with ease .Obviously, he thought about it so much day and night before, but the more calm and close Gu Yuan became, the more panicked and anxious the emperor became, as if something he had been looking forward to for a long time had unknowingly lost its flavor and lost its soul, making the emperor almost restless with worry.

Is it always like this in the future? They are like those female officials who change her clothes and bathe her. No matter how intimate and tacit they are, they are still so calm and breezy. the back of the head?The emperor wanted to speak but was unable to speak, so he could only sit discouraged behind the court case: "I can't tell, but Ah Yuan." She raised her eyes to look at Gu Yuan, eyes full of helpless eagerness and anxiety, "You Different from others."

Whether it is the eleven mother or the emperor, they are all so sensitive and unrelenting, Gu Yan secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was also speechless.

She knew what the emperor was expecting, and she was willing to risk her life for the emperor in the name of Hu Ruanniang, but since she entered the palace, she had already been tricked by others, so she really wanted to stay in the palace and take care of her widowed mother and children. Brother is also involved?

The emperor looked at her earnestly, which made her heart hurt. The words of refusal came to her lips, but she still hesitated.Suddenly, Cui Chengxiu's cock-duck voice came from the entrance of the hall: "My lord, it's the old lady's order, please come to Ningshou Palace."

Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor didn't say anything, and got up and left the hall.Cui Chengxiu nodded at Gu Yuan at the door: "It's the old lady's will, Miss Gu, please come too!"

There was a little panic in his tone, and Gu Yan followed him out of the palace and said, "What's the matter?"

"Concubine Gong came to see the old lady in the palace today, she seems to have heard His Royal Highness Duan Wang's words, saying that the young master favors the fox and ignores the government, and now in Ningshou Palace—"

Cui Chengxiu felt bitterness in his mouth as he spoke: a biological mother and a adoptive mother, arguing, how should this lawsuit be resolved?
