As expected, the Son of Heaven only listened intently, rarely speaking.

In the end, the Son of Heaven said: "I have neglected the government these days, but fortunately, Zhong Aiqing has supported the court, and all matters have been handled very safely." I am very relieved. ”

Wang Ge Lao and the others didn't dare to say anything, and their hearts were very comfortable.

It's okay to be tired and tired, but what I'm most afraid of is that it's thankless, and I will be reprimanded for working hard and being useless. The attitude of the Son of Heaven is really useful.

This small court meeting can be called a joy for monarchs and ministers.

The Son of Heaven specially gave a palace banquet and ordered the ministers to eat in the Funing Palace.

……

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor held a banquet today to entertain a group of old scholars, saying that he had no time to accompany his mother for lunch. The little nobleman ran to the Jiaofang Hall to deliver the letter: "Please have dinner in the Jiaofang Palace, and you don't have to go to the Funing Palace." ”

Gu Wanning smiled slightly and said hello.

Xiao Guizi did not leave, and reported with a smile: "Spring has arrived, and the weather is getting warmer." The emperor instructed the servants to send ten fine soft tobacco and ten brocades, and let the mother make some spring clothes. ”

After speaking, ten attendants rushed in, each holding two brocade boxes in their hands. When opened, the brightly colored silk satin is dazzling.

Among them, most of them are red.

Gu Wanning likes red the most, and everyone in the palace knows it. Of course, the Son of Heaven is familiar with Gu Guanning's preferences, so the clothes sent today are mainly red.

Vermilion, crimson and crimson, deep and light red clothes are stacked together, and they are beautiful.

Gu Wanning smiled in his eyes and instructed Linlang to accept the clothes.

Xiao Guizi grinned again: "That's not all. The emperor also ordered the servants to pick out some exquisite jewelry and send them. The slave picked out a total of five sets of head jewelry in the treasury of the Internal Affairs Office for a long time. I hope the mother likes it. ”

Five palace maids carried five sets of head jewelry into the Jiaofang Palace.

The jewels made in the palace are all gorgeous and exquisite. These five sets are among the treasures, and the various colored gemstones shine brightly and dazzlingly, but no woman can refuse such luxurious and beautiful jewelry.

The smile in Gu Wanning's eyes deepened, and he opened his mouth and said, "Thank you to the emperor on behalf of this palace." Let's just say that Hongu likes it very much. ”

The little nobleman felt that he had done his errand neatly and beautifully, and happily bowed, and then withdrew.

A bunch of brocade boxes needed to be put together, and Linlang led Yingluo and others to move the brocade boxes into the warehouse. The Jiaofang hall was full of jubilation and excitement.

Of course, there is no shortage of clothing and jewelry. However, this is sent by the emperor himself, symbolizing the emperor's supreme favor to Niangniang, and the meaning is of course different.

Gu Wanning had a smile on his face, but the smile in his eyes quietly faded.

……

Others didn't pay attention, only the careful and keen Linlang noticed Gu Wanning's strangeness.

"The emperor sent so many things to the Jiaofang Palace, and the mother didn't seem to be really happy. Linlang frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "The slave has the courage to ask, does the mother have anything on her mind?"

Gu Wanning was silent.

Linlang's heart sank slightly.

Gu Wanning really had something on his mind.

Linlang has served Gu Wanning for many years and is very familiar with her temperament. Seeing that she didn't want to say more, she didn't ask much, and quickly quieted down.

I don't know how long it took for Gu Wanning to say in a low voice: "Linlang, you go and call Linglong over." ”

Linlang was slightly stunned, and quickly responded.

All the big and small things around Gu Wanning are all decided by Linlang. Linglong is responsible for guarding Gu Guanning's safety and collecting information from all over the place.

Linglong walked in quickly, she hadn't noticed that Gu Wanning was in a bad mood, and asked in a brisk tone: "Niangniang specially called the slave maid in, but there is something to tell the slave maid?"

Gu Guanning snorted: "Go and close the door first." Linlang, you go to the door and stand guard, and no one is allowed to approach the door for half a step. ”

Linlang had deeper doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask much and did as she was told.

Linglong was also surprised. Since the death of the prince of Qi and his apprentice, the palace has been peaceful. Why did Gu Guanning suddenly summon her so cautiously? Could it be that something happened in the palace?

"Linglong," Gu Wanning looked up, his gaze was quite strange: "Has there been any movement in the palace recently?"

Linglong was confused when asked: "The slave maid has not received any news. Why did the mother suddenly ask that?"

Gu Guanning was silent again.

Her expression was very complicated, her eyes flickering, as if she was in an indescribable predicament.

Linglong's heart also lifted, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "What is the difficulty of the mother, in front of the slave maid, you might as well make it clear." No matter what it is, the slave will keep her mouth shut, and will never reveal a word to anyone. ”

Gu Wanning moved his lips and didn't say a word.

Linglong's heart became more and more confused.

What was it that made the resolute Gu Guanning hesitate so much?

Gu Wanning was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and said, "Linglong, I have an extremely important matter to explain to you." You are the only one who knows about this matter, and you can't reveal half a word. ”

Linglong didn't dare to slack off, and the right color should be.

Then, attach the ear to the front.

Gu Guanning quickly whispered a few words.

Linglong gasped: "Niangniang......"

"Do as I tell you. After Gu Guanning made up his mind, his expression was extremely calm, almost cold.

Linglong suppressed all the turbulent waves in her heart, and whispered.

After Linglong withdrew, Gu Wanning stood alone by the window, his expression was faint and unpredictable.

……

Funing Temple.

After the palace banquet was dispersed, the ministers retired one by one.

Xiao Xu is in a good mood today, and his spirit is better than in the past. specially summoned the little nobleman to come and inquire: "Today you sent clothes and jewelry to the Jiaofang Palace, how did the queen react?"

Xiao Guizi immediately said with a fluttering eyebrow: "The queen didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of smiles. I was very happy when I thought about it. ”

Gu Wanning has been like this since he was a child. No matter how happy you are, you won't be happy. In front of people, you always have to be a little more restrained.

Xiao Xu laughed, his eyes shining with pleasure.

Seeing that the master was so happy, the little noble son boldly admonished: "The emperor wants to make the mother happy, but there is no need to bother so much." In the evening, just go directly to the Jiaofang Hall to stay overnight. ”

Xiao Xu: "......"

Xiao Xu's expression instantly distorted a little, and his gaze became cold.

Xiao Guizi's heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't know where he said wrong, so he knelt down in panic: "The slave has a lot of mouths, please calm the emperor's anger." ”

These days, Xiao Xu's temper is a little capricious and uncertain. Others are nothing, but the little nobleman who serves close to him has a deep understanding.

At this moment, Xiao Xu's expression was cold, and he exuded a palpitating coldness, which was terrifying.

Such a Xiao Xu is both strange and terrifying.

While the little nobleman was palpitating and afraid, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Xiao Xu looked at the little nobleman kneeling on the ground, and a trace of murder flashed in his eyes.
