Chapter 42: The Court
As he spoke, Gu Zhiyu picked up the wine in his hand and reached a full glass.
The fragrance of peach blossoms instantly spread throughout the courtyard.
"Come, let's have a drink."
Gu Zhikai looked at Gu Zhiyu today, he seemed to have something hidden in his heart.
After drinking a few glasses with Gu Zhiyu, the two of them were leaning on the staggering side, and the wine jugs and cups around them fell to the ground.
There is also a slow roll out of the wine that has not had time to enter the stomach.
When the breeze came, Gu Zhiyu smiled: "I haven't come back for many years, but now I find that this abyss, which was originally my homeland, is unfamiliar." ”
He said that he reached out and went to get the wine glass on the side again, but when he touched the glass, it fell and rolled a long way.
Gu Zhikai was smiling on the side.
When he saw the man walking in, he stopped smiling.
Meng Fan held the wine glass that rolled over in his hand and looked at the two people in front of him with a puzzled face.
Eyebrows raised slightly, and slowly walked over.
Gu Zhikai will always have the ability to wake up when he sees Meng Fan, and he uses his hands to support himself up.
Don't forget to use your hand to knock Gu Zhiyu next to him: "Don't get up yet." ”
Gu Zhiyu smiled: "Isn't it Lord Meng?" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. ”
When he said this, Meng Fan had already put the wine glass in front of the two of them.
The hand was a little stronger, and the wine glass slammed on the small table.
Gu Zhikai's body was shocked, he smiled at Meng Fan, and couldn't help but move his hand to help the wine glass.
"Now that I'm out of the palace and become a prince, I'm very happy?" Meng Fan said and sat on the side.
His eyes looked at the leaves that were now slightly fluttering in the wind.
Gu Zhikai took the remaining wine into a glass, quietly handed it to Meng Fan, and said very sincerely, "Taifu, please forgive Zhikai for being the master of that day, Zhikai toasts a glass." ”
Meng Fan stopped the wine, and looked at Gu Zhikai and couldn't say anything.
I only asked, "Why don't you go to court?" ”
"I've been sick lately, and I've only been missing a few days, and I'll go back tomorrow, tomorrow."
After Gu Zhikai finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Meng Fan.
I saw Meng Fan take out a token from his cuff and put it in Gu Zhikai's hand very carefully.
Then he got up and prepared to leave.
"Taifu!"
"There is a famine in Hanoi, I will personally go to appease the victims, you take this token, and my Meng family will be at your disposal." Meng Fan said, and added another sentence, "Drink less wine." ”
Gu Zhikai nodded and watched Meng Fan go out.
Gu Zhiyu couldn't help but smile and said, "It's good that you have such a Taifu, and there are still people who care about you." ”
As he spoke, he sighed slightly.
The green tendons on his hands rose slightly.
Gu Zhikai saw it and replied: "What you said is not right, at least you have a concubine in the palace who will do your best for you, even if the emperor has not paid attention to you, it is also a fine clothes and jade food, people, you must always learn to be content." ”
And having said that, who knows Gu Zhiyu's unspeakable suffering.
I haven't seen my mother for many years, and now I have a cute and lovely sister, although my mother is not cold to herself. However, it is always polite and embarrassing.
He can't enter the palace at any time, so the chances of getting along with his mother are getting lower and lower, so low that sometimes getting along with Gu Zhikai is better than getting along with his own mother.
And now, when it comes to re-establishing the crown prince, my mother's words have always been, if you become the prince, your mother will be better off in the palace, and your sister will marry a good person.
He nodded in response, but if it had been placed when he had just returned, of course he would have wanted the position of prince here.
Because he still thought that he was the same as before, his mother doted on him, and he was the prince who was his father's favorite.
However, it has changed.
Now that he is the emperor, he doesn't know who to show his pride.
"What do you want?" Gu Zhikai said, shaking his hand in front of Gu Zhiyu.
Gu Zhiyu smiled: "I want to! Meng Xiang is not generally good to you, this kind of care is not the kind of perfunctory accompaniment. ”
Gu Zhikai smiled and replied lightly: "I know ......"
The two had dinner together, and Gu Zhiyu hurriedly said goodbye.
At the beginning of the lanterns, it was a very beautiful night.
However, now there will be no little son beside him, master, when will you sleep, do you want to have some supper.
There were only a few lonely people who didn't know each other very well.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The people who come are rare visitors.
"I heard that Fan'er said that you moved here, so come and see."
Gu Zhikai looked at the person in front of him and said, "Could it be you?" ”
The man nodded, leaned back lightly, and replied, "I'm afraid it's not good to always say this outside the house!" ”
Gu Zhikai stepped out of the way and invited the person in.
The two couldn't say half a sentence, but Gu Zhikai suddenly asked, "Does my Taifu know your identity?" ”
"I don't know, I'm not going to sue her."
"No wonder I asked Yucheng to check and you didn't find out anything."
The man smiled, picked up the warm wine that was sitting aside, held it up, and asked, "Can you take a sip?" ”
Gu Zhikai nodded.
The man lifted it up and drank it all, and smiled at Gu Zhikai: "This is what you want." ”
He spread his hands, and a light blue medicine bottle appeared in front of Gu Zhikai.
Gu Zhikai took it, still glanced at the man with some puzzlement, and asked, "Fenglou, are you really a little bit of a boy in the house?" ”
Feng Lou sneered, shook his head, picked up the wine, and naturally prepared to leave.
did not answer Gu Zhikai's question.
This night passed quickly, and Gu Zhikai did go to the court in spirit on the second day.
And above today's court, the position where Gu Zhikai should have stood most familiar was empty, and Gu Zhikai was still puzzled at first.
Later, I suddenly remembered what Meng Fan said yesterday, and I felt a little more comfortable.
In today's court, the emperor seemed very distracted, looking at his hands for a while, and bowing his head for a while.
It wasn't until the ministers had said a lot that he slowly raised his head and asked, is there anything else?
Standing next to Gu Zhikai was Meng Yu, who smiled faintly: "Today's emperor must be uncomfortable overnight!" ”
Gu Zhikai glanced at him and said slowly: "Be careful with what you say in the court. ”
Meng Yu was embarrassed for a moment, smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is right. ”
Even so, Meng Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the absent-minded emperor.
At this time, Meng Yu was probably afraid that he couldn't help but want to laugh wildly, but he walked faster.
"Meng Yu, Master Meng!"
But he was still stopped by Gu Zhikai.
Meng Yu saw Gu Zhikai and smiled: "What does Your Highness want to say?" ”
"I recently saw a teahouse in the city that is full of people, it seems to be good tea, I wonder if Lord Meng is willing to accompany me?"
Meng Yu nodded again and again: "How dare not go when Your Highness invites you." ”
As he spoke, the two of them walked out one after the other.
Along the way, Meng Yu was very talkative and told a lot of interesting things outside.
