Chapter 42: Showing Loyalty
"Really? Miss Gu regards this prince as a backer, but your father doesn't seem to think so...... As far as I know, Chang Jinghou seems to be getting quite close to my second brother recently! ”
Gu Chuhuan was shocked when he heard this, it seems that the eyeliner of the eldest prince has been placed in the Hou Mansion of Chang Jing, and the family members of the Hou Mansion are all dead, so they can also be bought by him, this person should not be underestimated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I don't know how much he knows, but fortunately, no one was present when his father and the second prince were discussing the matter, otherwise the old bottom of the Hou Mansion would have been exposed by Xiao Zhengyuan.
Xiao Zhengyuan asked this question, Gu Chuhuan knew that it was useless to quibble, so he said generously: "What His Royal Highness said is true, but as far as Chuhuan knows, the second prince and my father are both people who like antique calligraphy and painting, and my father has a few private collections of high-quality paintings, and it is common sense for the second prince to come to appreciate them." However, this is just Chu Huan's guess, after all, he just recognized his father, and the specific situation has yet to be figured out. ”
Xiao Zhengyuan gently played with the jade pendant on his waist and did not say a word.
Gu Chuhuan couldn't figure out his thoughts, so he had to diverge and say, "Chuhuan hasn't congratulated His Highness on getting another big help." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengyuan put down the jade pendant and squinted at Gu Chuhuan.
"Chu Huan heard that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu also defected to the camp of the eldest prince, so as to congratulate His Highness."
Xiao Zhengyuan's face changed slightly: "How did Miss Gu know?" ”
"Daddy inadvertently mentioned to Chu Huan about repairing the palace, Chu Huan dared to guess, and hoped that the eldest prince would not blame ......"
"You're guessing right." Xiao Zhengyuan didn't hide it, "It's just that although the official title of the Ministry of Rites is loud, the real power is not big, it's just that he can help the prince say a word or two." ”
"The eldest prince is thoughtful, and he has the ability to do everything, and it is a matter of time before he can store the six."
"If this prince can't get your father's support, what else can he do?"
Xiao Zhengyuan leaned his upper body towards Gu Chuhuan and said softly: "Miss Gu is exquisite, how can you not know that without military power, this prince has no chance of winning?" ”
Gu Chuhuan didn't avoid it this time, but instead greeted his face and smiled: "If Your Highness trusts Chu Huan, Chu Huan is willing to do his best to fulfill His Highness's wishes." ”
Xiao Zhengyuan only felt a faint fragrance emanating from the woman in front of him, his heart moved, and he moved half an inch forward, the tip of his nose almost touched Gu Chuhuan's, and he whispered in a dumb voice: "Miss Gu's mind, this prince....... Of course. ”
"In that case, please wait for good news."
After saying this softly, Gu Chuhuan got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, he turned back and smiled at him, "If His Royal Highness is honored one day, don't forget Chuhuan......"
Looking at Gu Chuhuan's departing figure, Xiao Zhengyuan only felt that his heart seemed to be slowly stretching......
Walking out of the door of the Moon Tower, Gu Chuhuan almost didn't shake off the goosebumps on his body, there was no way, the eldest prince was thoughtful, if he had no desire for him, he couldn't let him believe it.
Zilan Palace.
"The son asks the concubine to say goodbye."
"Yuan'er, come over and see if this belt embroidered for you by your mother is suitable."
The woman sitting on the Taishi chair was about 30 or so, wearing a peach-colored Biluo shirt, with a peony pattern embroidered with gold thread on the neckline, and a wide pale yellow brocade wrap on the chest. A black hair is pulled into a high beauty bun, a golden step is inserted obliquely, the face is like a hibiscus and the eyebrows are like willows, the cherry mouth is red without a dot, delicate and gorgeous, and the eyes are more charming than peach blossoms, as if they were sucked in after just looking at them.
It is Yao Ruolan, the emperor's favorite concubine -----.
Yao Guifei gently tied the black jade-colored gemstone belt in her hand to Xiao Zhengyuan's waist, and carefully sorted it out before raising the corners of her mouth and smiling: "It's just right." ”
Xiao Zhengyuan affectionately grabbed Yao Guifei's arm and said with a smile: "What the mother concubine does for her sons is naturally good. ”
After Yao Guifei split the left and right, she stroked Xiao Zhengyuan's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Yuan'er is so happy today, but is it because your father agreed to the proposal to repair the palace?" ”
"When did the sons and daughters not be happy when they saw their mothers? Besides, the son's proposal to repair the palace is also in the hope that your father can take you out for a walk, and the last time the mother concubine went to her grandfather's place was a year ago, right? ”
"The mother concubine knows that you are filial, but there don't seem to be many things in this harem, and there must always be someone presiding over here, now the queen is in charge of the six palaces, and the mother concubine is the assistant concubine, so the two of us can only have one companion to drive out of the palace, how do you know that it must be the mother concubine?"
"The father's love for the mother concubine can be seen in the front and back yards of the front palace, go to the palace to recuperate, who else can you take without the mother concubine?"
"You! is used to saying nice things to make the mother concubine happy," Yao Guifei stretched out her shallot-like jade hand and touched the tip of Xiao Zhengyuan's nose: "You don't have to worry about the mother's affairs, but Yuan'er, how old are you, and you don't want to think about marrying a wife?" ”
Somehow, a graceful figure suddenly crossed Xiao Zhengyuan's mind: "Mother, the son's affairs have not been accomplished, where do you have the heart to think about this?" ”
Although she retreated left and right, Yao Guifei still glanced around with a vigilant gaze when she heard this, and then said: "Yuan'er, marrying a wife is not an inner court, if this marriage is good, it is your most reliable help." ”
"Is there a choice for the mother?"
"I look at the eldest daughter of the Yuan Li family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is good, and I chatted a few words at the mother's birthday banquet last time, and it was very exquisite."
Xiao Zhengyuan smiled when he heard this, and waved his hand: "There is no need for the Yuan Li family, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is heavy and powerful, and he has the handle to fall into the hands of Erchen, and now he is a person of Erchen, such a marriage is meaningless." ”
Yao Guifei thought for a while, and said: "If it is said that the most advantageous is to hold the power of 600,000 forbidden troops to respect Hou Ye Boxian, if you can marry him, you will undoubtedly be a tiger with wings for Yuan'er." The concubine heard that Ye Zihan, the eldest lady of Chang Jinghou's family, was also approaching the age of Ji, so it was better to settle this matter earlier, and it would save more variables in the future. ”
"The eldest lady that the mother concubine said is now the second lady......"
Somehow, Xiao Zhengyuan remembered that beautiful face like a peach blossom again.
Sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Zhengyuan continued: "The mother concubine doesn't know, Chang Jinghou has just recognized his daughter who has been wandering outside for many years. ”
"Oh?" Yao Guifei's good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed, and then said, "It's okay." Since she is lingering, she is not born to her wife, it doesn't matter if the eldest lady or the second lady is the eldest lady, as long as it is the concubine or Ye Zihan, Yuan'er doesn't have to mind. ”
"Although my mother's proposal is good, it is just that Chang Jinghou has always been neutral, and I am afraid that he does not want to have this to do with me. There is no rush in this matter, let's go and see! ”
Yao Guifei nodded, and said: "By the way, the Xiaoyao Pill that your grandfather gave you last time is almost bottoming out, your father can't do it without this, my mother is afraid that she will have to go again in a few days, and you don't have to come over to say goodbye these days."
