Chapter 313: The Disaster of Relatives
The bright moonlight fell like a milky white tulle, and a faint layer fell on the eaves palace, quiet and serene.
Gu Yanling took off Xiao Yi's coat, and naturally tidied it up and was about to turn around and put it on Nan Mu Shi, but Xiao Yi held her hand, took the clothes from her hand and said, "I'll do these things myself." β
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi walked towards Nan Mushi, Gu Yanling looked at the gentle back, and couldn't help but smile on his lips: "I asked Jiang Zhu to cook some porridge, you can taste it." β
Xiao Yi came over when he heard the sound and sat down at the place between Gu Yanling's tables, and the next moment, Jiang Zhu came over with porridge and served a bowl for Xiao Yi.
"Just smell the fragrance and you'll know. β
Xiao Yi took the small bowl in his hand as he spoke, stirred it and tasted it first, raised his eyes and looked at the person opposite looking at him, and then said, "Don't you taste it?"
"I've already eaten, this is reserved for you, these days you are always busy with the affairs of the court, and you always have to pad your stomach. β
Xiao Yi put down the porcelain spoon when he heard the voice, and said apologetically with an apologetic look in his eyes: "I haven't been able to accompany you and Arnold these days, Anle-"
"You know I'm not resenting you. β
Before the words fell, the person on the other side smiled gently, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Xiao Yi's mouth.
Xiao Yi's eyes were gentle when he heard this, and he ate the spoonful of porridge to his mouth, and the chewing he enjoyed seemed to be extremely aftertaste.
"When this is over, we will take Arnold and An Le to the outskirts of Beijing for horseback riding. β
Gu Yanling responded with a smile, and the next moment Xiao Yi scooped another spoonful of porridge to her mouth, and gestured with a smile in his eyes.
Looking at his long-lost childish appearance, Gu Yanling smiled.
"How?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's question, the corners of Gu Yanling's lips were hooked, and he held his chin for a long time and said, "Sweet." β
Just when Xiao Yi was smiling in his eyes, he heard a voice like a jade bell, and when he opened the curtain, he said coquettishly: "I also want my father to feed." β
Hearing this voice, Gu Yanling turned to look over, and when she saw her pretty daughter smiling smartly, she couldn't help but feel hot on her face, and glanced at Xiao Yi with disgust.
"Aunt Jiangzhu, what you make is obviously meat porridge, why is it sweet?"
The county lord of Anle smiled and fell into Xiao Yi's arms, wrapping his father's hand around him dependently, although he said it to Chao Jiangzhu, a pair of watery eyes looked at his mother in front of him with a smile.
"You're getting bolderβ"
Xiao Yi looked at the little daughter in his arms helplessly and dotingly, and then pretended to preach: "Come in and neither report nor greet your mother." β
Seeing that the little girl was still not leaving, Xiao Yi had no choice but to look to the side, but saw Gu Yanling on the other side looking at him with a smile, and did not speak as if he was watching a good show.
"Anleβ"
Xiao Wei's gentle voice sounded behind him at the right time, and the person in his arms turned his head, and when he saw his brother's reminding gaze, although he was reluctant, he still stood up in an orderly manner and retreated to his brother's side.
"Sons to father, mother to say goodbye. β
A pair of children in front of me have always been filial, and they settle down every morning and dusk, and it has become a habit to go back to rest only when they have to come to ask for peace.
Seeing that the clever little daughter was still listening to Xiao Wei's brother's words like that, Gu Yanling and Xiao Yi looked at each other and smiled, and then aroused.
As soon as he stood up, Xiao Wei saw his young sister sticking to his mother's side again, sitting on the edge of the kang, holding his mother's hand and saying, "I heard my brother say that my uncle's daughter Anan is here today-"
Gu Yanling looked at her daughter at hand, responded with a smile, and then said loudly: "You are just cold, I didn't let people call you, let you have a good rest, do you feel better today?"
The little girl nodded obediently when she heard this, and then raised her head and said with some regret: "An Le has long wanted to see Anan, and finally Anan came today, but I didn't see it-"
Gu Yanling gently stroked the hair in the little girl's ear and said, "There will be many opportunities in the future, if you can talk about Anan, please invite your sister Anan into the palace to study with you." β
When the little girl heard this, her eyes were shining, thinking that she would have a companion in the future, so she immediately raised a smile and said, "Okay, next time Sister Anan comes, I will personally invite her to accompany me to study." β
"Alright, it's getting late, so go down and rest. β
Hearing his father's voice, An Le slowly left from Gu Yanling's arms and bowed with his brother.
When the two turned around, Xiao Wei said gently: "I'll send you back first." β
When An Le heard this, he immediately responded happily, then grabbed his brother's hand, and then winked at Xiao Yi and Gu Yanling smartly.
"I've heard that Uncle Yen Zhang invited my brother to go horseback riding at the horse farm a few times, so take me with you. β
Looking at the eyes of the young sister Baba beside him, Xiao Wei helplessly but couldn't hide his doting: "Okay, but you have to be obedient, be careful, although the horse is docile, there are times when it is fierce." β
Hearing this, An Le immediately nodded again and again, and said very well-behaved: "Okay, I listen to my brother for everything." β
The voices of the two children gradually drifted away, Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head, but saw that the people around him were a little thoughtful.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Gu Yanling turned his head over, and when he saw Xiao Yi's inquiring gaze, although the corners of his lips were still smiling, he was a little more serious.
"I liked it when I saw Anan today, do you remember the whisper I whispered to you when Anan was born?"
The corners of Xiao Yi's lips softened when he heard this: "You mean that Arnold and Anan are married?"
"What do you thinkβ"
Looking at Gu Yanling's waiting eyes, Xiao Yitan put his hand on Gu Yanling's hand and said: "If you think it is good, it is naturally good, I believe in your choice, besides, the Xie family and the Cui family of Chenjun, one is Qingming and the other is loyal, and I am naturally relieved of their descendants." β
Feeling Xiao Yi's complete trust in herself, Gu Yanling's heart was full of warmth, in the choice of this marriage, of course, she also took a fancy to Anan's character.
But what's more, and what's even more inhumane, is that she wants to make up for the regrets of her previous life, or rather, the guilt of Xie Yun.
In her previous life, Xie Yun died of exhaustion for her, alone, even if she exhausted these two lives, she couldn't do it.
In her heart, Xie Yun's descendants are not something that can be married to idle people.
She hopes to be able to promote the marriage of her children, she believes that her son is naturally a lover who can cherish Anan and treat Anan well for a lifetime, and she is Anan's aunt, if she becomes Anan's mother-in-law in the future, she will naturally treat Anan like a daughter in a thousand ways, and will never let her suffer the slightest grievance.
So even after a hundred years, they are gone, and it is always good to have Arnold to protect Anan for them.
Daughters are different from men, and marriage is the second life.
She hopes that Anan can be like Arnold in this life, peaceful, and happy.
And she also believes that if Arnold sits in the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme in the future, only Anan will be qualified to stand by Arnold's side, for her, for Xiao Yi, and accompany Arnold for a lifetime.
She knows that these are her own selfishness, but in this life, she always has to live for her selfishness.
"But marriage is always a matter of children, and we must look at Arnold in the future, if the two children are destined, we can't stop it. β
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Gu Yanling nodded, and then opened his lips and said, "You're right." β
Xiao Yi nodded with a smile, then remembered something again, and the smile dispersed slightly.
"Today, Feng Weilai said something. β
Gu Yanling looked over when he heard the voice, and saw that Xiao Yi's expression gradually became serious.
"Today, there is an official who plays to His Majesty, only saying that Xie Yun is from a family and a relative of the emperor, and now that the limelight is becoming more and more popular, I want Your Majesty to be careful of Huo Guang's disaster. β
As soon as the words fell, Gu Yanling's eyes were stunned, and his heart gradually sank.
Among the relatives now, the most conspicuous ones are the Gu family and the Xie family.
Because of this, now in the Tatar war, the emperor is more and more interested in cultivating Zheng Wen, the general soldier of Jizhou, who is brave and good at fighting, born in a literati, but is a corporal of Lixian, without the slightest sense of pride, and his strength is the same as Gu Zihan in the past.
In the war, the emperor used Zheng Wen to contain the Gu family. Now, is it time to guard against the Xie family again?
"I don't know if Your Majesty went to Xiyuan to listen to what the Guiyuan Taoist said, and when he returned to Qianhe Palace, he summoned Lady Xu. β
Gu Yanling frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Yi's voice was a little lower, and then he said, "I want to give Lady Xu to Xie Yun as a concubine." β
Gu Yanling's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he suddenly didn't like it.
The emperor is planning to use the people around him as eyeliner and stuff it into the Xie Mansion.
It seems that this Guiyuan Daoist is not just a person who can refine alchemy.
