76. Chapter 76

Shen Youan nodded when he heard this, "So my sister is afraid that Gu Mingzhe will ask His Majesty to marry you because she mistakenly thinks that you are the female official who left the palace at the beginning, and she wants to repay her kindness with her body." ”

Bi Tong smiled bitterly; "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that's how it is."

"If this is the case, then it is even more important to cut off the root of love and keep him away from Yudu when the love is not deep."

"No, he is full of talent, and his life's wish is just to show his chest and repay the loss, and live up to what he has learned in his life, how can I bear to keep him away from Yudu because of this matter."

Shen You looked at her calmly and said; "Sister Bitong, in fact, you are still reluctant to let him go, right?"

Bitong closed her eyes, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she choked up; "If he stays in Yudu, I can still look at him from afar, but if he leaves, where can I see him?"

Shen Youan reached out to hug her and said softly; "Do you like him that much? In that case, why are you reluctant to marry him? ”

Bitong shook her head; "You'an, you don't know, how happy I was when he said he was going to marry me that day, I couldn't sleep all night with excitement, I was afraid that His Majesty would not allow me to be allowed to him, I even wanted His Majesty to spoil you so much, if you spoke, Your Majesty would definitely agree to my relationship with him, but I never thought that he actually approached me because he wanted to repay his kindness, I didn't dare to sue him, I am not that person, I am not the person sent by God to save him when he was in trouble, I dare not say, I dare not say."

She wasn't sure what Gu Mingzhe liked her, if it was really because of repaying the favor, let him know that the woman who went out of the palace and met him when he stopped the sedan chair on the street was not her but Shen Youan, in his heart, kindness, love, if he couldn't tell the difference, that stubborn temperament, dare to worry about Shen Youan, how could His Majesty spare him, when the time comes, it will be easy to go to the court, the official is small, and the life will be lost.

Shen Youan was stunned, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed; "Well, if you don't want him to leave Yudu, then I'll go and beg His Majesty to see if I can continue to keep him in Yudu, but you always have to ask him about things clearly, how do you know that he is because of repaying his kindness if you don't ask? You have always been sensible, if he really likes you, and you don't want to marry him because of a misunderstanding, wouldn't you miss out on a marriage? ”

"It's better to miss your marriage than to have no life."

In the end, he has been serving Qi Jinghuan since he was a child, and he also understands his temperament, and his thoughts about Shen You'an are clear, if Gu Mingzhe dares to think about Shen You'an, no matter how advanced his mind is, no matter how proficient he is, His Majesty will not spare him.

Shen Youan felt that he could understand Bi Tong's mood, and felt that Bi Tong's worries were superfluous, that Gu Mingzhe had never seen him, and how could the relationship between men and women only arise because of repaying his kindness, thinking of Gu Mingzhe, Shen Youan felt that he was not like that kind of person, low background, high spirit, I heard that this person is eloquent, and other ministers often said in the court are indefensible, for the official integrity, do not form a party for personal gain, such a person may have a good impression of Bitong because of his original kindness, but if it comes to the point of wanting to marry her, It's probably not very likely.

"Miss You'an."

Nightflower whispered outside the door.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Youan asked.

"Miss You'an, Lord Gu has entered the palace again, and now he is reluctant to leave in the Yanqing Palace, so he is angry and punishes him to kneel outside the Yanqing Palace."

Bi Tonghuo stood up and asked; "What's going on?"

"I heard that Master Gu lost something at home, so I reported it to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to find it for him."

Hearing this, Shen Youan subconsciously looked at the box placed on the couch, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, the thing that Lord Gu lost was this box, and if he didn't leave in front of His Majesty's dormitory for a box, it is estimated that only this Lord Gu can do it.

Bi Tong pulled Shen Youan's sleeve and said; "You'an, you're going to see what that nerd wants to do."

Shen Youan waved his hand and smiled; "Don't panic, I'll ask first."

"Then what did Master Gu say?"

"Yes." Yehui paused for a moment, then continued; "That Lord Gu knelt at the door of Yanqing Hall and was punished, and he kept calling out that our Dayu system is not strict, and there are thieves who sneak into the house of the court official to steal things."

Ye Hui slandered in her heart, their secret guards are not thieves, they are the cronies around Zheng'er Bajing Xià, although they are in the dark now, many secret guards will still be able to turn to the light in the future, like her and Yeyun Even if they turn to the light, although they are only the palace people around Shen Youan, but in the future, Shen Youan will be the queen, and their identities will go up, although they are not as good as many secret guards who can sit in the positions of the generals of the guards, the protectors, and the captains, but it is already very good for the female secret guards, Female secret guards don't have as many opportunities to turn into light as male secret guards, and it is possible to be sealed to the position of general after turning into light, and most of their female secret guards are only people who His Majesty cares about very much, and they will send them to their side to be responsible for protecting the task, or they are sent to the vassal king's territorial courtier's house to do internal response, on the surface, it is turned into light, but in fact it is still a secret task.

Shen Youan snorted out laughing and said to Bitong; "This Lord Gu is also quite interesting, he knows that the things were sent by His Majesty to get them."

Bitong lowered her head and said; "Go ahead, his temperament is not sure what to say later, and he annoys His Majesty and asks for his head."

Shen Youan pointed to the box and said; "Then should I keep this thing with you, or will I bring it to him?"

"This" Bi Tong hesitated a little.

Shen Youan patted her on the shoulder and said; "I think you're a fan of the authorities, that's it, I'll be a good person to the end, you don't care about the rest, I'll beg Your Majesty, no matter what happens, let Your Majesty spare Gu Mingzhe's rudeness in front of you."

After speaking, he returned to the Yanqing Hall with the box, and saw a person kneeling at the door of the Yanqing Hall from a distance, and when he got closer, he heard the man shouting; "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that my Dayu's inspection system needs to be strengthened, Weichen is an official of the imperial court, and now that thief sneaks into Weichen's house, like entering a no-man's land"

Behind him, Yeyun approached Shen Youan and said softly; "Miss You'an, there is no one in Master Gu's house, not a single gatekeeper."

Shen Youan was a little surprised, "Doesn't he have a servant in the house?" ”

"Not long after Lord Gu became an official, he only rented a small courtyard on Chao'an Street, and there were no servants."

It was the first time for Xu to see such an interesting minister, Shen Youan looked at Gu Mingzhe and half-jokingly at Yehui and Yeyun; "Do you think that our majesty's temperament is much gentler, and Master Gu didn't let people throw it out directly."

Yehui smiled; "His Majesty is Mingjun, what are the officials below, His Majesty knows it in his heart, Master Gu is an upright official, does not take bribes, does not pull the party for personal gain, and is a rare good official."

"You think highly of him."

"It's not that the slave maid said, the secret guard guarding Lord Gu came back and joked that Lord Gu didn't even have mice."

Shen Youan was puzzled; "What does that mean?"

"Lord Gu's family can't even find a mouthful of food, and any mouse that doesn't have long eyes can only wait for death if it touches his house."

Shen Youan frowned, if this is the case, Sister Bitong will marry in the past, wouldn't she also starve, after thinking about it, Sister Bitong herself has been in the palace for many years, and she should also have some savings, and Lord Gu has just been promoted, and she can go up in the future, there are many people, and after a long time, life should be better, plus if Your Majesty wants to marry the female officials around her, she will definitely give a reward as a dowry, although Lord Gu is a little poor, but her character is good, she is upright, and she will not touch Her Majesty's mold if she does a high position in the future. Sister Bitong is not short of money, and marrying Master Gu is also a good place to go.

Xu is Gu Mingzhe shouted tired, his voice was a little hoarse, when Shen Youan walked in front of him, he saw him coughing with his head down, and was about to raise his head to make persistent efforts, when he saw a woman staring at him tightly, the woman was followed by two pink-dressed palace people, who didn't look like harem concubines, but they didn't look like ordinary female officials, concubines have never been allowed to come in the Shengning Palace, and there were four personal female officials around His Majesty, he had seen three, and he thought that this was the rumored Shen Si who was quite favored.

He is an official from the fifth rank, Shen Youan is the secretary, and he is a female official from the sixth rank, according to the rank, Shen Youan is lower than him.

Shen Youan walked over with Yeyun and Yehui, because Gu Mingzhe was kneeling, she couldn't stand in front of him, opened her body slightly, and blessed her body; "Master Gu."

Gu Mingzhe bowed slightly, and he didn't feel embarrassed to kneel on the ground and talk to the female official next to His Majesty, so he arched his hand; "Shen Siyu."

"Your Excellency is punished to kneel here."

Gu Mingzhe nodded; "Exactly."

"Your Excellency is punished to kneel here, and when you are sinful, you should reflect on it, and you must not make loud noises in front of the Yanqing Hall to disturb Your Majesty's rest, if your adult really feels unhappy, you can go to the gate of Shengning Palace and shout, it is far away, Your Majesty can't hear it, and it won't disturb Your Majesty's rest."

Gu Mingzhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said; "But I just want to shout to His Majesty, what's the use of His Majesty not hearing me shouting."

"Master Gu, don't worry, no matter where you shout, your majesty will not be able to hear it, and you will know what you shouted, so you don't have to shout to your majesty to listen to it, wouldn't it be worth the loss if you annoy your majesty, what do you say? Master Gu. ”

Gu Mingzhe nodded and began to cough again.

"I don't know what Lord Gu lost."

"I lost a small box with a handkerchief from a girl I liked, and a portrait I drew for her."

He didn't feel embarrassed at all, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, just such a little thing was worth it when he made trouble in front of His Majesty, and he shouted with his face, and he was not afraid of jokes from his colleagues in the DPRK and China.

"Is Master Gu sick? It's better not to make His Majesty unhappy, after all, it is now Lord Gu who has a request for His Majesty. ”

Gu Mingzhe covered his mouth and coughed twice, then raised his head and said; "It's just that my throat is a little uncomfortable, thank you Shen Siyu for mentioning it, thank you for your kindness, Shen Siyu has already helped me twice."

Shen Youan choked up, didn't he say that this Lord Gu thought that it was Sister Bitong who helped him in front of His Majesty? So what about what he said about helping him twice?
