Chapter 280: Counterattack

In the blink of an eye, a month later, under the attention of everyone, the county lord of Anning who lived in Cining Palace was carried into Yuqing Palace in an inconspicuous way.

Don't say that it is the Empress Dowager Guo, that is, the crown prince and the crown princess have not been present in person, but they are symbolic to reward something, and they can be regarded as knowing, compared to the wedding of the eldest grandson and concubine Xiao Gu, the emperor and queen almost brought the concubines in high positions in the six palaces, who is more popular, who is unpopular, and can be swept out almost at a glance.

But even so, Xiao Gu, who is the wife, still dressed up to greet him in person, and there was no childlike neglect between his hands and words, but he was considerate and generous, and commanded the small wedding in an orderly manner, which also made everyone understand what everyone's bearing was.

In the evening, the guests gradually dispersed, and the county lord An Ning, the bride of the side concubine, was sitting quietly in the new room, which was delicate and small, and I heard that it was Gu Yanling, who was the eldest grandson, personally arranged for someone to clean it up.

But the more Gu Yanling was like this, the more uneasy she felt.

Either they are really tolerant and generous, without the jealousy of ordinary women, or they are scheming and planning something to retreat.

The autumn breeze outside the window was blowing, and under the service of the palace ladies, the county lord of Anning changed his dress after washing, and the red candle in front of the bed was shining, gently swaying with the breeze, and a warm halo fell in the room.

In this halo, Guan Tong recalled that not long after she entered the palace, she was walking in the garden under the guidance of the palace maid of Cining Palace, that day seemed to be clear, and the endless blue sky was faintly floating with several layers of white clouds, she stood quietly on the stone arch bridge of white marble, watching the weeping willows on both sides of the blue waves swaying, and at that time, a figure suddenly entered her eyes.

Under the golden rays of the sun falling obliquely, the young man's expression was calm and waveless, even if he watched from afar, he could also feel the nobility and coldness that could not be concealed all over his body. At that time, she was thinking about what kind of scene such a peerless young man would be if he smiled indifferently.

As if sensing it, from a distance, the young man who was indifferently moving forward under the weeping willows suddenly cast his eyes, and it was that glance that made her feel stunned, both expectant and ashamed, but when her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, the young man turned indifferent.

To this day, she still doesn't know whether Xiao Yi saw her at that time or didn't see her.

But even so, she kept that look firmly in her heart.

The scene of that day, no matter how long it has passed, she can still float in her mind.

It is precisely because of this that she knew that the "chance encounter" that day was instructed by the Empress Dowager Guo that she didn't care, and asked her to be a side concubine, she didn't care, even if she was carried into Yuqing Palace in such an embarrassing way in the end, she was willing to endure it.

Because she is confident, one day, Xiao Yi will see her goodness and fall in love with her unconsciously.

And on that day, there would be no one else in his heart except her.

Guan Tong's hands in front of his knees were slightly intertwined, sitting upright on their wedding bed, a pair of peach blossom-like eyes gradually floating a smile, glowing slightly in the warm light.

"Side concubine. ”

With the sound of squirming footsteps, the personal maid Yuhe walked in, Guan Tong raised his chin slightly, but saw that Yuhe's face was a little complicated and weird.

"How?"

Yuhe hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly between his lips: "Back to the side concubine, the previous banquet has ended, Tan Mo beside His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, His Royal Highness seems to have drunk too much, and he won't come tonight, please rest early, don't wait." ”

Guan Tong's hand tightened slightly, but his expression did not change, he just lowered his eyes indifferently and said, "Let's be honest." ”

Yuhe's body shook when he heard this, and he knelt down and said, "The slave is guilty." ”

Say. ”

Under Guan Tong's glance, Yuhe finally said truthfully: "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has gone to the East Hall. ”

"Got it, serve me to bed. ”

Yuhe was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his head and said, "Concubine Fang-"

Guan Tong slowly stood up, his hands were flat, Yuhe didn't say more, he had to step forward to change his clothes, but he couldn't help complaining: "Today is the big day for Your Highness and you, how can Your Highnessβ€”β€”"

"Yuhe. ”

Guan Tong frowned slightly, turned his eyes hesitantly, and was so shocked that Yuhe immediately closed his mouth, but his face was a little aggrieved.

Guan Tong was bored for no reason, and it happened that his clothes had been changed, and he immediately said, "You go down." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuhe was about to speak, but saw that Guan Tong had already turned around and went to sleep, so he had tears shining in his eyes, turned around and put down the curtain and retreated.

When the house gradually quieted down, listening to the autumn equinox outside, Guan Tong's brows became tighter and tighter.

When she learned that the person she met by chance that day was Xiao Yi, the person she envied the most in her loss was the Gu family girl who married beautifully, and when she saw it, she gradually became jealous in her heart without even realizing it.

That jealousy burned like fire in her heart, getting stronger and stronger.

She would even feel that it would be great if she could replace Gu Yanling.

Appearance, family background, bearing, almost everything is enough to make the daughter next to him lose color.

She had expected such a scene tonight, but when it did appear, she could not bear it.

Now that she has no way out, she must let Xiao Yi see herself, and the biggest breakthrough in this period is Gu Yanling.

……

When Gu Yanling took off the hairpin ring and was combing her hair in the mirror, she heard the sound of the soft curtain beating, she didn't look back, and the next moment, a familiar embrace surrounded her, and a warm breath suddenly hit.

A light smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yanling's lips, and then he put the comb on the dressing table, and said slightly, "Washed?"

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Yi, who rested his head on her shoulder, nodded slightly, Gu Yanling slowly stood up, pulled Xiao Yi to sit under the window, and then handed out a bowl of warm decanting soup, Xiao Yi sat beside her, but at this time, Gu Yanling took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Xiao Yi paused slightly, put down the sobering soup in his hand, took the letter and unfolded it, and immediately smiled slightly.

It turned out that a few days ago, Guo Shenzong, who was supervising the war in Liaodong, played to Emperor Jianheng and asked for 400,000 taels of military salary.

Guo Shenzong's appetite is getting bigger and bigger.

"On the Liaodong side, the fourth uncle and his brothers have secretly collected some evidence, counting the days, but I am afraid that by the end of the year, only one fuse is enough to shock Daxing, and even if the Guo family is not destroyed, it will be difficult to preserve. ”

The corners of Gu Yanling's lips were slightly hooked, and there was an indistinct light in his eyes.

And the most important thing is that a few days ago, Gu Jingming and Gu Zihan guarded Changning City was besieged, but Guo Shenzong deliberately delayed and did not send reinforcements, and in the end, Gu Jingming defeated the enemy army with a surprising victory, not only relieved the siege, but also got the opportunity to counterattack, and Gu Zihan took the lead in the battle of Changning, annihilating all the enemy troops and annihilating the enemy army.

This battle has already made Gu Jingming and Gu Zihan famous, that is, the people have spread the word of mouth, and even Emperor Jianheng praised Gu Zhengde in front of hundreds of officials.

Today's Gu Jingming and Gu Zihan, one has been promoted to the general army of Liaodong, and the other is the deputy chief soldier, and their prestige in the army has deepened, even if Guo Shenzong wants to move, he does not dare to act easily.

"Fengxian is also ready. ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, the corners of Gu Yanling's lips were slightly hooked.

"The two arrows are fired together, it depends on whether the armor of the Guo clan is so hard. ”

Xiao Yi smiled dotingly when he heard this, it seemed that he liked to see her so cunning and scheming.

"The Guo family's affairs are over, let's talk about ours. ”

Gu Yanling was slightly stunned when she heard this, and blurted out, "What's the matter?"

The corners of Xiao Yi's lips hooked slightly, and he gently stepped forward and said, "It's late at night, it's time to sleep." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the warm lips suddenly came up with a gentle attack, Gu Yanling's eyes smiled, and his hands turned to hook Xiao Yi, responding without hesitation.
