74. Chapter 74

Concubine Yun was stunned for a moment, the corners of her mouth tightened a little smile, and said; "You'an, this Song Taifu is guilty of rebellion, how can he be forgiven?"

"How could the slave maid know, didn't Concubine Yun ask the slave maid what Concubine Xian Niangniang wanted to help?"

No matter how dull Concubine Yun is, she can hear that Shen Youan is sarcastic about her again, a little embarrassed, but she can't be angry, according to her identity, she is naturally more noble than Shen Youan, but the palace people behind her are far less than the people brought by Shen Youan, not to mention that Shen Youan is also followed by Gao He, the chief manager of His Majesty, and people with a discerning eye can see that Shen You'an's treatment is higher than that of the concubine. In his heart, he secretly hated Shen You'an for relying on His Majesty's grace to be disrespectful to him, so he could only be secretly angry.

Shen Youan blessed Concubine Yun; "Concubine Yun Niangniang wants to go to see Concubine Xian, let's go quickly, I'm afraid that I'll have to walk more when it's late, and the slave will retire first."

After finishing speaking, she left with a group of palace people, Concubine Yun turned around and looked at Shen You'an's departing figure, her face was flushed with anger, and the back of the hand of the big palace maid next to her was pinched by her, and she lowered her head to endure the pain and did not dare to make a sound.

"Mother, let's go."

The female official beside her reminded her, and Concubine Yun reacted at this time, glared at Shen You'an, who had already gone away, and turned around to help the palace people to walk towards the Huilan Palace.

When Shen Youan returned to Yanqing Palace, he saw that Qi Jinghuan was not in the West Warm Pavilion, and went to the East Warm Pavilion, but there was no one in sight, so he casually beckoned a palace person and asked; "Do you know where Your Majesty went?"

The palace people shook their heads again and again, saying that they don't know, Shen Youan was a little puzzled, when he left, His Majesty was still handling government affairs in the Dongnuan Pavilion, it was difficult to go to the imperial study, but today this Yanqing Hall is too strange, usually even if His Majesty Xià is not in the Yanqing Palace, Sister Bitong and they will also stay in the Yanqing Palace, but today Sister Caixuan is not there, Sister Bitong is not there, and even Yiqiao is not there, there is a group of small palace people left in this large Yanqing Palace, it is difficult that something happened.

She was puzzled, Qi Jinghuan came back with someone outside, her face was a little ugly, Cai Xuan who followed behind her was also heavy, even the most lively Yi Qiao on weekdays was expressionless, Bi Tong followed behind her with red eyes, as if she had cried, she was about to speak, Qi Jinghuan came over and took her hand and sat on the couch, Bi Tong knelt on the ground with a plop, and the palace people all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to gasp.

"Go back."

Bitong shook her head; "No, slaves don't marry, Your Majesty, slaves don't marry."

Their female officials have never dared to disobey Qi Jinghuan's orders, they will do whatever Qi Jinghuan says, this is the first time Bi Tong is so bold, kneeling on the ground and crying Qi Jinghuan, Shen Youan didn't know what was going on, and said; "Your Majesty, what's wrong, what kind of marriage, did Sister Bitong do something wrong?"

When Bi Tong heard Shen You'an speak, she choked up and said; "You'an, today Lord Gu of the Hanlin Academy told His Majesty that he wanted to marry me."

"You still have the face to cry, I want to ask you how a lady of the inner court got acquainted with him? He wants to marry you. ”

"Master Gu? Which Gu adult? ”

Shen Youan asked.

"It's the Hanlin Academy attendant who talks about Gu Mingzhe."

"It's him."

For Gu Mingzhe, Shen Youan still has an impression, the first to stop Song Taifu's sedan chair on the street to recommend himself, just let His Majesty see it, at that time I also told His Majesty Xià that this Gu Mingzhe, although he is talented, but he is arrogant, and later His Majesty Xià gave him an official from the eighth grade, and now he has not even arrived for a year, and he has been promoted from the fifth grade, and the promotion of the Hanlin Academy has always been the fastest, but there are not many people who are promoted like Gu Mingzhe, Gu Mingzhe's talent is naturally undoubted, and he climbed so fast in such a short time, It is also related to His Majesty and Song Taifu, earlier it was Song Taifu who recommended Gu Mingzhe, everyone thought that Gu Mingzhe was Song Taifu's person, Song Taifu had a high prestige in the court, Gu Mingzhe only entered the Hanlin Academy, and the direct classics above it were because of the disagreement between his wife and concubine at home, and his wife and concubine were also uneasy, and made a big fuss, and was impeached by the imperial history and dismissed from office.

With the backer of Song Taifu in the back, coupled with the invisible promoter of His Majesty, in just half a year, he was promoted to the position of a waiter from the Wupin Hanlin Academy, and his promotion speed was embarrassing, but he was a talented person, and he could do things, and he was honest as an official.

It's just that this newly appointed attendant will do things and will come to things, and he will explain the scriptures to His Majesty from time to time, and worry about the country and the people from time to time, and always be able to link those things in the history of the book to the pattern of the current dynasty, although he is only from the official of the five grades, but he has won the trust of Qi Jinghuan, and now he has become another courtier who does not dare to offend after the head of the household, this time Song Taifu fell, and the courtiers also looked at him with a blank look at how unlucky, Qi knew that this person was still alive in front of His Majesty, and there was nothing, On the same day, when His Majesty announced that the Song family was full of beheadings, although the officials of the former Song Taifu faction were spared from death, they were more or less demoted, and they were dismissed, but this Gu Mingzhe, who had the label of Song Taifu on his face, had nothing to do, so the courtiers understood that this person was a cunning fox, don't look at his age, but he was a real old fox, and he couldn't be offended.

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Gu Mingzhe does not collude with parties, and his behavior of daring to speak and do makes him a veritable Qingliu faction, and has been appreciated by many celebrities, of course, these praises are just to listen to, and have no practical impact.

Today, Qi Jinghuan received a report from the secret guard that it was the virtuous concubine who provoked Shen You'an's relationship with him, because he didn't know if Shen Youan was angry, so he imagined Li Hongmao asking for ideas, so he sent someone to announce that Li Hongmao was going to see the driver in the imperial study, he knew that Li Hongmao not only came by himself, but also brought this meeting, Qi Jinghuan naturally would not ask Li Hongmao for advice in front of Gu Mingzhe to coax his daughter-in-law, so he listened to Gu Mingzhe's tirade for a while, and in the end, Gu Mingzhe didn't leave, Qi Jinghuan asked him if he was okay? He said yes, so Qi Jinghuan asked him what else was going on, and it happened that at this time, a few bachelors came from the Hanlin Academy, and Qi Jinghuan now wondered if these people were specially invited by Gu Mingzhe, because after these people came in, Gu Mingzhe asked Qi Jinghuan for a kiss as soon as he put off his robe.

Gu Mingzhe has no background, he went to Yudu alone to be an official, there is not even an elder in the family, and the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law has not been settled so far, many ministers saw that he did not marry a wife and kindly introduced him to him, he rejected them all, and everyone still thought that he was stupid and had no desire to study, how did he know that he actually hit the idea on the female official next to His Majesty, he explained that he wanted to marry the female official next to His Majesty, Qi Jinghuan had not yet spoken, Those old men from the Hanlin Academy who had the same smell as Gu Mingzhe began to coax and say that Master Gu had finally moved his heart, and this cup of wedding wine was finally about to be drunk, Gu Mingzhe also happily returned the salute to a few old men who said hello to him, so Qi Jinghuan was depressed and wanted to marry his female official, but he didn't agree here, so he discussed eating the wedding wine over there, and did he take him seriously.

Of course, he couldn't agree to him so lightly, and blasted Gu Mingzhe away with those lobbyists who seemed to have something to do, but actually didn't know if it was Gu Mingzhe who pulled over, and ordered someone to summon Bi Tong to ask her what was going on, Bi Tong has been serving by his side since he was a child, and he is good friends with You'an, so he can't marry her out of nowhere, Bi Tong heard that His Majesty was going to marry her off, thinking that His Majesty was going to use her to win over the courtiers, since ancient times, the emperor has taken the palace people around him to reward the ministers, but it is just to win over the ministers, She has been serving by Qi Jinghuan's side since she was a child, thinking that she had done something wrong Qi Jinghuan wanted to marry her out of the palace, crying and crying and unwilling to marry, Qi Jinghuan was not in a good mood, and his stinky temper came up to scold people, and he was short-guarded, Bitong was a person around him, but he was ruthless, Bitong was unwilling to marry him and would not force her, but Bitong was frightened and kept crying, but he was angry, one or two were uneasy.

"Majesty, majesty, the slave and maid have been serving by your side since childhood, and if the slave and maid don't go anywhere, they will stay in the palace for the rest of their lives, and your majesty will not marry the slave and maid."

Bitong is also dignified and dignified on weekdays, and is one of the four female officials next to Qi Jinghuan, all day long with a straight face to discipline the small palace people below, the small palace people at the bottom saw her which is not like a mouse seeing a cat, but Qi Jinghuan knows how difficult this girl is, once the queen mother was grounded by the first emperor, and the palace power was handed over to Lin Guifei, he often sneaked out of the palace to play at that time, and said that he was sick to the outside world. personally brought the imperial doctor over to diagnose and treat him, but the small palace people in the palace were in a hurry, and even the housekeeper and female officials in the palace at that time had no way, and they didn't dare to contradict Lin Guifei, the critical moment was that this girl stepped forward, knelt in front of Lin Guifei and cried, saying that Lin Guifei was kind-hearted, cared about His Royal Highness, and personally brought people to treat His Royal Highness. She cried out about this matter directly, crying that even the imperial doctor didn't dare to go in, if His Royal Highness saw that Lin Guifei's condition was getting worse, then His Majesty would not blame the concubine, and he, the imperial doctor, would not be able to escape the involvement, although they all knew that it was fake, there was not even a shadow of His Royal Highness in it, but no one dared to go in, these were also what Qi Jinghuan only heard from the female officer in charge at that time when he came back, and he didn't expect Bitong, who was silent on weekdays, to cry so badly that Lin Guifei was scared away. However, this trick is very pleasant to use on the enemy, and it is not very refreshing to use it on oneself.

Bitong's eyes were red when she was crying underneath, Qi Jinghuan was upset for a while, and he was weak in the face of Shen Youan's gaze, he didn't say that he wanted to force her to marry, this girl was crying breathlessly, as if he really forced her, how could he explain it to Youan.
