39. The revenge of killing the mother
Gu Chen soon came out to toast, and the entire Nanling Mansion was full of joy. Because I am the emperor, I can't drink as unscrupulously as them. Fortunately, Yan Xiaoran is sitting next to me, so I won't be too bored.
"I guess Gu Chen must be very anxious now." Yan Xiaoran shook her wine glass and said to me, "I can't wait to go back to the cave room." โ
I despised it: "Do you think everyone is a color blank like you?" โ
Yan Xiaoran sighed: "Why did I become this image in your heart?" This is a normal state of mind, who doesn't want to think about the cave house when they get married, and wants to come to drink. โ
Me: "......" seems to make sense.
"Your Majesty, long time no see."
I looked up blankly, but it was Bai Qingyan. "Bai Qingyan, ...... you" I didn't know what to say for a while, and I subconsciously went to see Yan Xiaoran, what was the matter with a little weak heart?
Yan Xiaoran's eyes turned slightly, and after glancing at Bai Qingyan, she stared at me directly, as if she wanted me to explain.
I coughed lightly: "Bai Shilang, why don't you go drinking?" โ
"Didn't you go too?" Bai Qingyan sat down on my left hand side, and raised his eyes to look at Gu Chen, who was accompanying the wine outside: "Your Highness is very happy today." โ
I looked at Gu Chen, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and his face was already slightly drunk. Today's Gu Chen seems to be really happy, which makes me have a very real feeling. "He's getting married today, of course he's happy." Or, he was happy to have brought down his uncle today.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations on me?"
"His Majesty Xiร successfully overthrew Uncle Guo and grasped half of the rights to return to Nanling, which is gratifying."
I chuckled, "If that's the case, I should indeed be congratulated." "I don't know if I've drunk too much or if I'm blind, I always feel that Bai Qingyan is looking at me with a very complicated look.
"Your Majesty, can the minister ...... with you alone?"
"I can't." Before Bai Qingyan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yan Xiaoran, who stretched out his hand to help me up: "Your Majesty has already drunk too much, if Bai Shilang has anything, he can come to His Majesty tomorrow." โ
Bai Qingyan frowned, and I waved my hand: "What did I drink too much, but I didn't get drunk......"
"A drunk person never says he's drunk." Yan Xiaoran interrupted me mercilessly, and dragged me out from behind in front of Bai Qingyan.
We got into the carriage at the door all the way, and Yan Xiaoran put me down, and he shouted in a suppressed voice: "Go back to the palace." โ
I was a little confused, and who knew that he would suddenly crush me on the cushions of the carriage. Before I could react, he came up and kissed me on the lips. It's like a punishment, and it's like venting, in short, he passed on his love to me, through guรฒ kisses.
After a long time, he lay on top of me and gasped, and I asked in a loud voice, "Yan Xiaoran, what's wrong with you?" โ
He looked deeply, looking like he was going to crusade against me: "Gu Shu, you scumbag, step on two boats." โ
I was like, "Why am I a scumbag?" Why do you just pedal two boats? โ
"Do you still like that Bai Qingyan?"
"Nonsense, I don't like it for a long time."
"Oh, I haven't liked it for a long time, so it means that I liked it before." Yan Xiaoran sneered: "It is said that the emperor is flowery, but I didn't expect Gu Shu to be like this." โ
I couldn't stand Yan Xiaoran's yin and yang weirdness, so I pushed him away and pressed on him reflexively, grabbed him by the collar and said, "I admit that I liked him before, but that was all when you didn't marry into Nanling." Who's young, I haven't liked a few young people. Do you dare to say that before me, you didn't like someone else? โ
"Nope."
Me: "......", the answer was quite crisp, so I didn't know how to refute it for a while.
"Gu Shu, since you are my person, don't think about escaping in this life." He bit the base of my ear.
"Don't run away."
"Then what did you just do?" Yan Xiaoran sneered: "When you saw Bai Qingyan coming, you didn't know where to put your hands and feet, and you still squeezed my hand hard, you were so nervous when you saw him?" His words were sour.
I swear to heaven that I was nervous when I saw Bai Qingyan, not because I still liked his nervousness, but because I was afraid that Yan Xiaoran would misunderstand the tension in my relationship with Bai Qingyan. However, Yan Xiaoran cared so much, which also surprised me a little. "So, having said all that, it turns out that you are jealous?"
I thought he would deny it, but who knew he nodded earnestly. "Yes, I'm jealous, I'm jealous." He held my head: "When you talk to him, I want to kill him." โ
I tilted my head and thought about it, reached out and pinched his chin, and said softly: "Beauty, you like me, I am very happy, you can rest assured, I will definitely spoil you alone in the future." โ
"Gu Shu, you have no choice." Yan Xiaoran raised her eyebrows.
I felt that Yan Xiaoran was โกโก naked provocation, so in order to make me look more aggressive, I hit his head on his lips and gnawed on it hard.
At this moment, the carriage door suddenly opened, and the voice of the little eunuch stopped abruptly: "Your Majesty, the dormitory is here...... The slave saw nothing. Then he covered his eyes and closed the door again.
Me: "......" I just kissed Yan Xiaoran, why did the little eunuch just now cover his eyes, his face was red to his neck?
According to the custom of our Nanling, the new daughter-in-law is to give tea to her mother-in-law. Gu Chen's mother died early, so this tea naturally has to be given to my mother. Although my mother once ordered to kill Concubine Yang Shu, Gu Chen still had to salute when she saw my mother.
Early in the morning, Yan Xiaoran and I packed up and came to the queen mother's palace, preparing to have breakfast together, and waiting for Baojia and Gu Chen to enter the palace by the way. At breakfast, the queen mother obviously did not taste good. I know she's still worried about her uncle's affairs.
"Queen Mother, this is your favorite lotus seed soup, and I specially asked someone in the imperial study to make it today." I motioned for the old lady who was waiting for my mother to bring the lotus seed soup. The old lady will also say good things, and say that I have filial piety, and say that I am something, in short, all the words that praise me, have been said, and I listen to it quite pleasantly.
The queen mother sighed and waved her hand to make everyone else retreat: "Emperor, uncle...... What are you going to do about it? โ
I poked my head with chopsticks: "I haven't thought about it yet, but don't worry, I won't want my uncle's life." โ
"That's good...... the queen mother took a sip of lotus seed soup: "Baojia, this child is dead-eyed, if she knows, the mourning family doesn't know how to explain it to her." โ
I thought for a while and said, "Then let's not tell her today, after all, she just married Gu Chen, so let her be happy for two more days." โ
"It's fine." The queen mother nodded, and she remembered something: "This time I was able to succeed, thanks to General Shen Qing, how do you plan to reward him?" โ
The so-called commendation is just an increase in official ranks, Shen Qing is already a general, I will give him another name at most, and then reward him with some jewelry. "General Shen has made a lot of contributions this time, he has been living in the cottage before, there is no house in the capital, it is better to reward him with a mansion and give him a name, what does the queen mother think?"
The queen mother nodded: "You should be able to handle these things well, but there are many people in the court, and you have to figure out whether you can use them or not." Emperor, this is the way of the emperor, it used to be controlled by your uncle, but now it's your turn to play in person, and you still have a lot to learn. โ
I know what the Queen Mother is worried about, but I'm also worried about this. My uncle is gone, and the power of the court is divided into two, one side is me, and the other side is Gu Chen, who has been on the move. Whether the people who followed my uncle before can still be used remains to be considered. What Gu Chen's plans are in the future, I also want to find out.
Thinking of this, I suddenly had a little headache, and suddenly regretted that I had knocked my uncle down. "Don't worry, the queen mother, with Yan Xiaoran here, this qiฤ is basically not a problem."
The queen mother frowned and looked at Yan Xiaoran, who had been eating breakfast quietly, and she bowed slightly: "The queen is powerful, but he can't help you with everything." Huang'er, Ming'er's mourning family will ask Zhao Zhongshu to give you a good way to govern the country. โ
"Let that pedantic old man teach me lessons?" I wailed, "Queen Mother, please let me go." "I was so scared that my chopsticks fell off. Zhao Zhongshu is not only pedantic, but also very strict in teaching people. When I was a child, I took a class under his name, and after the class, as long as the queen mother mentioned me to go to class again, I pretended to be sick, and in the end, the queen mother couldn't finally change my wife.
The queen mother seemed to see my crooked thoughts, and she knocked on the table and said, "Even if you are sick this time, you will go." โ
"Sneer......" Yan Xiaoran sneered and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand: "Look at the appearance of Your Majesty, it seems that Zhao Zhongshu has suffered at his hands." โ
I looked at Yan Xiaoran's gloating appearance and gritted my teeth: "Okay, but I want the queen to accompany me to class." "Even if you die, you have to pull a cushion.
The queen mother has no opinion for the time being: "As long as Zhao Zhongshu is willing to teach, the queen will go." But don't show your feet so that others can see who you are. โ
When we finished eating, the palace maids all came over to clean up the table, and Bao Jia and Gu Chen were late. The bride of the first marriage is always so shy and distressing. Bao Jia followed Gu Chen into the main hall with red cheeks, and she knelt on the cushion very obediently: "Bao Jia greets my aunt...... The Queen Mother, serve tea to the Queen Mother. โ
Gu Chen was beside Baojia, and he also waved his robe and knelt down. I sat on it and watched, and my mind unconsciously recalled the scene back then. That year, my father had just passed away, and my enthronement ceremony had just been held, and before I had time to lie in bed to rest, I heard someone report that the queen mother had decreed the death of Concubine Yang Shu.
By the time I hurried to Concubine Yang's bedroom, my uncle had already come out with a poisonous wine glass. I walked in slowly, and in the pristine hall, Gu Chen was holding Yang Shufei, who was no longer breathing.
I won't forget the moment I came in, Gu Chen's fierce and vicious expression. He stared at me with red eyes, bared his teeth and grinned at me, with hatred and killing intent: "Gu Shu, I will not let go of the Shen family, I want your Shen family to pay for the blood debt!" โ
I snapped back to my senses and looked at Gu Chen kneeling below. He hated so much back then, and today he can kneel down in front of my queen mother, does it mean that he has really let go?
