Chapter 25 Otaku from the Official Chronicle II
"Mortal?" Yan Xiaoqiao repeated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Gu Chen frowned and glanced at Mu Xiaonian. Mu Xiaonian hurriedly changed his words and said, "Oh, in short, it's a person in this world." Manager Yan, don't worry, those bad guys can't help us adults. β
Gu Chen really didn't take the court of the world in his eyes, but for people who have been at home for three hundred years, it is really painful to suddenly change their work and rest and commute on time. Gu Chen didn't want to do things for the emperor of the world, coupled with the busy affairs of the Ministry of Industry, he often couldn't see Yan Xiaoqiao for a day, and after a few days of doing this, Gu Chen was like resigning. Of course, Yan Xiaoqiao is resolutely opposed, and she thinks that they can leave with peace of mind at least until Wuyi Lane is rebuilt.
"I'm not used to eating outside. "The house emperor is coquettish.
"Then I'll bring you food every day. Yan Xiaoqiao said, "It's strange, who said that he was going to come to the capital to take the exam, how could he not be an official and not cherish it." Do you know how many literati fail to pass the imperial examination and live in dire straits every day?"
"That's because the current order in the world is too backward. Gu Chen muttered for no reason.
"What?" Yan Xiaoqiao turned around.
"Ah, I mean, here and there. Gu Chen walked over, hugged her behind him and said, "I didn't know you before, and I thought it was boring and planned to take the imperial examination, but now with you, it's enough to just want to see you every day." β
Yan Xiaoqiao's face was hot, and he whispered: "You say this like a gentleman." β
scolded and scolded, and the next day Yan Xiaoqiao obediently brought him food. Colleagues in the Ministry of Industry were amazed when they saw the love food box that Gu Chen received. Because outsiders can't go in, Yan Xiaoqiao can only send it to the door, and ask the people inside to send it in, the food box has different patterns every day, the color and flavor are complete, and the colleagues in the Ministry of Industry think that Gu Chen has a virtuous helper, and they are envious. Whenever this happens, Gu Chen is secretly complacent, and he doesn't say anything, so that he can also deal with the canal project with peace of mind.
But in officialdom, it's not enough to do your duty, you have to entertain your superiors and superiors. What makes Gu Chen most painful is that there are a lot of entertainment in this world's officialdom, large and small, with all kinds of factions, he can already push it, but there is one thing that there is no way to refuse, that is, the royal banquet.
For example, this night, this year's new talents, including champions, Bangyan, Tanhua and so on, were all called into the palace. The emperor obviously wanted to entertain these people, but he actually wanted to recruit horses for his beloved daughter, Princess Changle!
The singing and dancing in the Daming Palace is peaceful, so it is not lively.
The emperor looked at the hall full of talents, the dragon face was happy, and almost everyone present was rewarded. After the tour, everyone took turns to drink wine to the emperor. Gu Chen sat silently, thinking that if he drank my toast, this emperor would not lose his life, so don't harm him.
The noisy music stopped at some point, leaving only the faint sound of the piano, and the lights went out, and the garden was darkened for a moment. At some point, there was a white screen, and a graceful figure appeared behind the screen, showing a graceful dance. Gu Chen moved his fingers with interest, and suddenly remembered the dancing fairy music god he had seen in the heavenly realm, but he didn't know how this dancing girl of the emperor's family in the world was. The beautiful woman who came out was wearing a neon dress and feather coat, her hair was combed into a flying bun, and her face was covered with a veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, and she only felt that a pair of charming eyes could not tell the soul. Unlike ordinary dancers, she is tall and powerful, and she has a powerful beauty when she dances.
When she danced in front of Gu Chen, she suddenly turned her face, and a pair of big deep eyes stared at Gu Chen motionlessly, as if there were black flames beating in her eyes. The people next to him quieted down and looked at the two in surprise, Gu Chen held the wine glass and coughed lightly in embarrassment. Who knew that this beautiful woman lifted the veil and floated away again.
The music stopped, and the lights were rekindled. The emperor pulled the beautiful woman who was dancing just now to sit down beside him, and said with a smile: "This is my beloved daughter, Princess Changle." β
When they heard this, they were astonished, and they all got up to pay respects. The world knows that the emperor has many princes, but there is only one princess who lives to adulthood, and the emperor's favorite is the prince of Changping and the princess of Changle, and this princess of Changle is the pearl of the emperor's palm. So the crowd immediately began to stutter.
First of all, the new champion stood up and said: "The princess is beautiful and fragrant, and the lower official has a poem in his heart, and he is willing to give it to the princess." β
He shook his head and was about to start reading, when Princess Changle suddenly interrupted him and said, "Sir, do you dare to compare yourself to Li Du? If you can't compare to Li Du when you read it, it's better not to read it." β
Zhuang Yuanlang's face turned pale, and he retreated under the signal of the emperor's eyes.
Tanhualang also stood up and said, "Xiaguan usually dances swords, and learned a set of sword dances of Gongsun Auntie, and gave it to the princess, which is ugly." β
"Wait. Changle stood up, "You are a man, Aunt Gongsun is a woman, didn't you dance her sword dance and become a flower fist embroidered leg?"
Tanhualang blushed and retreated.
"Changle, don't be rude. The emperor grabbed Princess Changle and said, "They are all my Aiqing, if you don't like it, don't insult others." Ladies and gentlemen, the princess is used to being pampered, don't mind. β
Gu Chen thought to himself that this emperor was not mediocre.
Who knew that this princess Changle was usually spoiled by the emperor, and was reprimanded by her father in front of everyone, and her tears immediately fell down like beads with broken threads. The emperor was distressed again, patted his beloved daughter's back and said, "Changle is good, don't cry, how do you tell your father." β
Gu Chen was speechless, thinking that he thought that this emperor was good just now, and they all said that there were men who were afraid of their wives, but they had never seen anyone who was afraid of their daughters.
Princess Changle said: "My father knows that I love to guess lantern riddles, three days later is an auspicious day, I want to hold a lantern riddle guessing conference in the palace, guess the most lantern riddles can be my concubine." β
The people below were in an uproar, eager to try one by one. At this time, an ordinary voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, "Your Majesty, Weichen's wife has been sick recently, and Weichen has to ask for leave to stay at home to take care of him these days, and I hope to grant leave." β
It was a middle-aged man who looked ordinary when he spoke, and the rest of the people laughed shamefully. Gu Chen cast an admiring gaze at him and secretly calculated his fate, it turned out that he would become a famous poet through the ages in the future, and he must make friends with him later, and borrow his manuscript to copy, the "Poetry Collection of the Past Dynasties" copied by Gu Chen is Yan Xiaoqiao's favorite, thinking of Xiao Qiao's happy appearance, Gu Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Ignoring the eyes of others, Gu Chen also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, will you not use it if you have already married a family?"
"This ......" The emperor was stunned for a while, and raised his eyes to look at Changle.
Princess Changle's big eyes stared at Gu Chen faintly for a while, and suddenly said, "There is already a family with Mrs. Zun." β
Inside the Shirou Mansion.
Sure enough, as Gu Chen expected, Yan Xiaoqiao refused to agree to disguise herself as a woman and go to the palace to pretend to be Mrs. Gu. She was handsome since she was a child, and when she used to be an apprentice and a handyman, there would always be some scoundrels who made teases, and what she hated most at that time was that the scoundrels treated her as a woman. Although the relationship with Gu Chen has pierced the window paper, she has not yet announced the identity of her daughter's family. What's going on with this impersonation?
"Although I would also like to visit the palace, it is always inappropriate to deceive people like this. Yan Xiaoqiao said.
Gu Chen didn't dare to say that this was an excuse to escape the princess's choice of a concubine, so it was not easy to force her.
"I'm going to visit the neighbors in Wuyi Lane in two days, and it's been very hard to rebuild, so I've made a lot of pastries and want to see them......," Yan muttered.
Seeing Yan Xiaoqiao's somewhat aggrieved expression, Gu Chen felt distressed again, and hurriedly hugged her and said, "Then if you don't go to the palace, let Chengfeng and Tashuang accompany you to Wuyi Lane." "He didn't feel comfortable letting Xiao Qiao go to an unsafe place alone.
As for the riddle guessing conference, I can only think of another way.
So, Mu Xiaonian said with two tears on his face: "Your Majesty, do you really want the minister to go?"
"Hmm. You're the best fit. "Mu Xiaonian has red lips and white teeth, and he doesn't need to transform into a woman without spells.
Mu Xiaonian's tears continued to float: "Your Majesty, on the day you return to the Heavenly Realm in the future, don't forget the loyalty of the ministers to Your Majesty........."
"I remember. β
So when Yan Xiaoqiao went out in the morning, she met the person who came to deliver the clothes from Cai Diexuan, she looked at the colorful splendid Luo skirt, not only frowned and asked, "Who bought this?"
"It was ordered by Mr. Mu. β
"Huh?" Mu Xiaonian has nothing to do with ordering a pair of colorful women's clothes? Yan Xiaoqiao shuddered and went to Wuyi Lane.
At night, Mu Xiaonian, who had finished his disguise, pretended to be Mrs. Gu and followed Gu Chen to the palace.
The garden is full of lanterns, and tables around the pond are filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables. Everyone was busy guessing the lantern riddles, grabbing their heads and bleeding, only the Gu couple were at the table, and they were very happy.
"I said, the palace food really lives up to its name, this, this, it's really delicious. I have to sneak a few away, go back and let Xiao Qiao learn to do it, we have nothing to do and eat palace food. Mu Xiaonian's mouth was full, and he secretly hid it in his sleeve.
The corners of Gu Chen's mouth twitched, Mu Xiaonian was an immortal in the earth realm and couldn't blame him for not seeing the food in the heavenly realm, so he had to help him block something so as not to be seen: "Take it easy, it's almost over." β
"Lord Gu. β
Gu Chen raised his eyes and saw that it was Jing Zhaoyin and Zhuang Yuanlang and others. These people don't care about their own business, and prefer to run to their side to be an eyesore. Gu Chen was displeased, but he still arched his hand, "Hello two adults." β
Zhuang Yuanlang glanced behind Gu Chen, "This is Lord Gu's wife, right?"
Mu Xiaonian was stuffing something into his mouth, and when he heard someone behind him say "Mrs. Gu", he hurriedly swallowed the date and swallowed the things in his mouth, turned around, pinched his throat and said, "It's the concubine." β
Zhuang Yuanlang chuckled. It turned out that Mu Xiaonian was too embarrassed to eat just now, and he smeared the danfat on his mouth, and he was completely unaware at this time.
"Mrs. Zun is really naΓ―ve. β
Gu Chen had a disdainful expression on his face, and said in his heart, what are you doing.
Jing Zhaoyin has always hated Gu Chen because of the diversion of the canal, and naturally did not let go of cynicism when he seized the opportunity: "I thought that Gu Da's family had a wife, and he didn't even pay attention to the princess's kindness, but I didn't expect that the original taste was so vulgar......
