Half a month after the death of the eldest princess of Jinyi, she rushed into the palace with her father and younger brother as the new Zhengwupin Gongbu Langzhong, and began to participate in politics in the Golden Palace.
This is the first time in hundreds of years that a non-imperial woman has entered the Golden Palace, so it is quite eye-catching.
She would have been nervous before, but now she didn't notice anything different about her.
After experiencing this kind of thing, her heart became more fearless, but also more confused. To be honest, she knew that there was only one path in front of her, but the scary thing was that she began to hesitate to go down......
That man died in her arms like that, she couldn't forget it, and she wanted to follow that man's path, but where did that path end?
The sound of the golden chime sounded, the hundred officials entered the court, and the three members of the Gu family, who belonged to the three departments, walked forward together, Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan still followed behind Gu Qingxuan, stepping into the Golden Palace, regardless of the sideways glances of others, the expressions of the three of them were the same calm, not shocked, and then changed their shoes, and they were scattered among the hundred officials.
After dispersing, they walked out of the Golden Palace, and the three of them came together again. Gu Qingxuan turned his head to look at Gu Qingning and asked, "Qingning, what's wrong with you?
In fact, his injuries have not fully recovered, and his complexion is not good, but he has a little more energy.
Gu Qinghuan also said: "Yes, sister, what's wrong with you? Today is your first time in the court, I thought you would be very happy......
Gu Qingning raised his eyes to look at him, lowered his head again, shook his head woodenly, and did not answer Gu Qingxuan's words, so he got into the carriage and went to the official office of the Ministry of Industry.
After she left, Gu Qinghuan said to Gu Qingxuan: "Father, it seems that my sister really has something on her mind." ”
Gu Qingxuan looked at the carriage in the distance, slightly distracted, and couldn't say anything wrong, but felt inexplicably flustered.
Since that time when he faked his death, Gu Qingning has not spoken to him for a long time...... Why?
……
After helping Gu Qingxuan achieve the goal of destroying Lu, Hong Luotian did not plan to stay in Chang'an City, he would leave and continue to do his family's business. This time, Gu Qingfeng did not go with him immediately, but chose to stay and accompany Gu Qingxuan, who had not recovered from his injuries.
Of course, there is another reason for him to stay, that is, Chen Juntong, the county lord of Chengshuo.
He has been paying attention to her, not only because he has a good impression of her unconsciously, but also because he knows that there are not many people in this world who can make his sister Gu Qingning care, and he doesn't want them to be sad.
Since Lu Yuanze's burial, Chen Juntong has returned to Ning at home, lived in the palace of King Jinxuan for a long time, was depressed all day long, and proposed to King Jinxuan to become a monk, if it were not for the opposition of King Jinxuan, I am afraid that she would have already gone to Tianzi Mountain and entered Lingyuan Temple.
The father and daughter have their own opinions, and they have been comforting each other for a long time, refusing to retreat. King Jin Xuan only has such a daughter, so she naturally cherishes and cares for her, how can she always accompany the ancient Buddha for a lifetime?
He also understood that Jun Tong's current pain was caused by his own mistakes, and he felt quite guilty in his heart, and tried every means to compensate her, and played in Chang'an City, using all kinds of methods just to coax her to laugh.
After finding out the whereabouts of the Jinxuan Palace, Gu Qingfeng quietly slipped into the palace and put something in the courtyard where the county lord lived. When Jun Tong saw it the next day, he really smiled. When this news reached the ears of King Jin Xuan, he was quite happy.
But Uncle Tang of Gu's Mansion was not happy at all, early in the morning, he found that the windmill and water wheel under the corridor were gone, and he suspected that there were thieves entering the mansion, so he made various inspections. Because it was Shen Lanxi's relic, Gu Qingxuan was also very nervous, and the Gu Mansion panicked.
In the next few days, there were other things missing in the mansion, almost all of them were Gu Qingning's things, and the gadgets she had made in her spare time disappeared one by one out of thin air.
At first, she was strange, but then she didn't pursue it.
Eventually, Gu Qingfeng was caught by Gu Qingning, who accidentally returned home early.
He was holding a pony she made, and as soon as he turned around, he bumped into Gu Qingning who was standing outside the door, so he had to cover things with his sleeves and smile at her pretending to be unharmed: "Sister, did you come back so early today?"
Gu Qingning only asked, "Is she okay?"
Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "It turns out that my sister knows everything......?"
She smiled with relief, "It's okay, you're doing a great job." Does she like that?"
He nodded innocently: "Mmmm, she likes it very much, she laughs when she sees these gadgets, saying that she is bored at home, and she likes to watch these ...... She was always unhappy, chanting Buddhist scriptures all day long, and she would only be happy when she saw these little things. ”
Gu Qingfeng approached Gu Qingning flatteringly, and muttered with a hippie smile: "Sister, look, I have almost moved everything in your house...... Do you know what? May 10 is her birthday, and I don't know what to give her...... Good sister, you can help me. ”
Gu Qingning took out the things in his arms, poked his forehead and said, "What's the matter with you always borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas like this? If you want to please the little girl, you have to be a little sincere, why don't you learn to make something to give to her? She must be very happy." ”
So Gu Qingfeng listened to her suggestion, not as skillful as her, so he learned the simplest carving, and planned to carve a small wooden statue for Jun Tong as a birthday gift.
……
Now that the Ministry of Industry is no longer busy, Gu Qingning is also idle, and he no longer always goes home late as before. However, she did not slack off, and she would personally supervise everything in the construction department, and she would also personally teach the new counselors.
Today, on a whim, she went to the fortification room to build a model of the city wall, but it was delayed until late, perhaps she just subconsciously didn't want to go home......
She lay on the edge of the sand table in a daze, and someone walked up behind her and patted her on the shoulder.
How can there be anyone at this time?
Gu Qingning was really startled, and when he turned around, he saw the person, but he was even more frightened, "Lu Yuansi?"
At this time, standing in front of her was no longer the unruly and willful Miss Xiangfu in brocade clothes, she was wearing a simple cloth dress and her face was haggard, but when she faced Gu Qingning, her eyes still showed open-air pride.
"You didn't die, weren't you beheaded?" Gu Qingning stepped back in a daze.
She walked forward, expressionless, and said, "Yes, I should have died with my family...... But my father was reluctant to let me die...... Before he raised the incident, in order to prevent accidents, he sent me out of Chang'an, and after the incident, the Lu family ...... Full of ...... It's my maid who pretends to be me and ...... for me Damn ......"
Gu Qingning looked at her in a panic, "Then why don't you run away? What should you do if you show up like this and get caught? Yuansi! You go quickly! You leave Chang'an quickly!"
Looking at Gu Qingning's appearance at this time, she almost believed that Gu Qingning was really worried about her, but she would rather persuade herself not to believe it, and sneered: "Gu Qingning, what are you afraid of? What can I do with you alone? What can I do with your Gu family? I won't escape, my whole family is dead, how can I live alone?"
Gu Qingning kept shaking his head: "No, no, you want to live! You go! I will pretend that I have never seen you! You can rest assured that I will not hurt your ......"
Lu Yuansi interrupted her: "Enough, Gu Qingning, it's all at this time, what are you pretending to be? I came to see you, but I didn't plan to live." I just want to accomplish one thing, and I die without regrets. ”
Gu Qingning was slightly stunned: "What do you want me to help you do?"
She pursed her chapped lips and hesitated, "I want to see Jiang Xian, I know you know him...... Do you know where he is?"
How can there be such a stupid person?
Gu Qingning was even more distracted, at a loss, avoiding her expectant gaze, and didn't know how to reply to her for a while.
If she doesn't let her see it, she won't be able to let it go.
If she really let her see it, she would have already held her heart to death.
How can this be?
Gu Qingning looked at her, almost in a pleading tone, and said, "I, I know where he is...... But can you promise me to live well? Will you leave Chang'an when you see him?"
Lu Yuansi shook off her hand and shook his head firmly: "You are not qualified for me to promise you." ”
"And what if Jiang Xian wants you to live?" she continued to try.
Lu Yuansi said: "Gu Qingning, I'm not you, I'm Gu Nian's favor, my whole family is dead, do you think I will still live because of one person? I just want to see him one last time, you should do it? Even if you don't have to face him, just let me look at him from a distance, okay?"
