Chapter 054: Calculation (1)
After Gu Yunjin wrote the sentence 'From now on, the mountains and rivers will not meet, and Mo Dao is long and short with each other', he put down the pen, gently raised his hand and stroked the handwriting on the paper that had not yet dried, his white fingers were quickly stained with a little ink, and his heart was filled with sadness and sorrow for no reason, and a light sigh unconsciously overflowed between his lips.
Yue Liushao quietly watched her from a distance for a long time, and at this time, seeing that she had been stroking back and forth on the paper without saying a word, her face was also sad, and she was very worried, so she couldn't help but step forward and said, "Miss, your body is just better, don't practice calligraphy anymore, go to the couch and rest." Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped the ink from her hands.
Gu Yunjin was still silent, his eyes staring at the words on the paper motionlessly.
Seeing her like this, Yue Liushao sighed heavily, put away the paper and pen and ink on her own initiative, and asked anxiously and helplessly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Isn't there something uncomfortable again? As he was talking, he suddenly realized something, and he couldn't help but be afraid, "Miss, did the general say something to you?" Does Miss really want to go and kiss? Despite the question, she still didn't believe the general would do it.
Gu Yunjin shook his head lightly and said weakly, "No." ”
"Why is that? Why does the young lady seem to be out of her mind? ”
At this moment, Ji Hongxuan led Mu Xueying and hurriedly walked in.
Mu Xueying came to Gu Yunjin, bowed her knees, and then explained her intention in a slightly anxious tone: "Miss, the emperor's father-in-law is here, and the general and his wife let Miss go to the front." ”
Gu Yunjin had already guessed the purpose of Gonggong Wan's coming, but he was afraid that he was here to deliver the post. Father-in-law Wan is the most favored person around the emperor, and his meaning represents the emperor's meaning, this time, all the unmarried ladies of the Shengjing City family are afraid that they will be invited into the palace to participate in the birthday banquet of Concubine Yu, and they still have to go.
Gu Yunjin walked to the bronze mirror, saw his overly haggard face, and instructed Yue Liushao: "Quickly put some makeup on me to cover it up." ”
Yue Liushao received the order and hurriedly took action. In a matter of moments, it was all packed.
Gu Yunjin looked at himself in the mirror, who was not much different from usual, and then led Yue Liushao and Mu Xueying to the front hall in a hurry.
When he arrived at the front hall of the hospitality, Wan Gongcheng was accompanied by General Gu and Pan to sit and drink tea and talk.
Gu Yunjin saw that Gu Yunxin was also waiting in the hall.
She stepped forward quickly and called, "Dad, mother." Then, he turned to Wan Gonggong and gave a proper salute: "Wan Gonggong is good, I have seen Wan Gonggong." ”
"Miss Gu doesn't have to be polite." Gonggong Wan got up and said with a smile, he already knew everything he should know about the matter between Miss Gu and the prince, as well as the emperor's meaning, so he didn't say much, turned around and took a big red and gold post from the little eunuch on the side and handed it to Gu Yunjin, and then took another one and handed it to Gu Yunxin.
After doing this, Gonggong Wan was about to say goodbye and leave, "Our family will send the post to the two young ladies in person to complete the task, as for the rest, I don't need to say more about it." We have to go to other homes to deliver posts, so we won't stay long. ”
"Father-in-law has worked hard." Pan said with a smile, and at the same time handed over a bag of silver, "I'm tired of my father-in-law running this trip, be careful, and invite my father-in-law to drink tea." ”
Wan Gonggong symbolically excused himself twice, and he was in the bag.
Then, General Gu personally sent Gonggong Wan away, asking about the situation in the palace as he walked.
In the hall, Gu Yunjin was silently speechless with the post.
Gu Yunxin looked at it curiously, and finally asked puzzledly: "Sister, why did you let Gonggong Wan send the invitation to the birthday banquet of the concubine?" ”
Pan couldn't help sighing, took the post in her hand and looked through it, and said, "The emperor wants everyone who receives the post to enter the palace." ”
Gu Yunxin thought she understood and said: "My daughter thinks that the emperor must think that there are many people when he does this, so that the concubine will be very happy." ”
"You're too simple." Pan couldn't help but hit her, and then motioned for all the people in the hall to retreat.
As soon as Gu Yunxin saw this scene, she knew that things were not as simple as she thought, and uneasiness gradually rose in her heart.
Pan Shi held Gu Yunjin's slightly cool hand with one hand, and Gu Yunxin's hand with the other, sighed, and said: "Xin'er, you don't know yet, Prince Long wants your sister to go to kiss, but the prince is unwilling, so he went to ask the emperor, and later, the emperor promised the prince to marry your sister after the peace talks between the two countries are over." ”
"Marriage to the crown prince?" Gu Yunxin's heart was shocked, "Does that sister like the prince?" Would you like to marry the crown prince? ”
Gu Yunjin smiled and said comfortingly: "Sister, don't worry about me, prince...... Very good for me. ”
Gu Yunxin couldn't help but be anxious when she saw her avoiding the important: "Even if it's good to you, then you have to like him." ”
After listening to her words, Gu Yunjin realized that Gu Yunxin was also a very pure person with feelings, no matter who the other party was or what identity he was, he only looked at whether he liked it or not. Now that she knew what choice she had to make, she smiled softly again, lowered her eyes and said, "I...... Like. ”
Pan answered: "It's good to like it." Then, he solemnly advised: "The princess is seriously ill, and the emperor means to let the dragon prince choose again and his relatives, so everyone who receives the post this time must enter the palace." ”
Gu Yunxin was worried, "That'...... What if Prince Long still chooses his sister? ”
Pan's biggest worry is also this, but now he is worried about what's the use, so he has to sigh and say, "No one knows the result now, so we can only see it then." ”
The group sat for a while, and then dispersed.
"Sister, do you really like the prince?" After walking out of the hall, Gu Yunxin grabbed Gu Yunjin's arm and asked again, because she always felt that her sister didn't tell the truth just now.
Gu Yunjin looked at his feet and nodded slightly.
Gu Yunxin frowned, thought about it again and again, and said suspiciously: "Why have I never heard my sister say it?" ”
Gu Yunjin glanced at her, "Can this kind of thing be said every day?" ”
"That's right." Gu Yunxin couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up.
After separating from Gu Yunxin, Gu Yunjin walked listlessly towards the Splendid Garden.
Yue Liushao hugged the post that her master threw to her tightly in her arms, which was personally sent by the most favored father-in-law around the emperor, and the significance can be seen.
After walking for a long time, she saw that her master still didn't say a word, so she opened her mouth to break the silence and said: "Miss, which clothes and jewelry will Miss wear at the birthday banquet of the concubine the day after tomorrow, and when she goes back, the slave and maid will prepare well, this is a day that even the emperor attaches importance to, and you must not be sloppy." ”
Gu Yunjin said: "Whatever, you can just do it yourself." ”
