Chapter 136: Indecision
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Tianyan did not see Feng Jinglan after opening his eyes, and his heart returned to its previous calmness.
"Is the master still in the palace today? Or is Luping accompanying her master out for a walk? Lu Ping happily came to Gu Tianyan and said.
"So I went and sat down at the stone table, and today I saw that the weather outside the window was very good, and I wanted to go out and blow the wind." Gu Tianyan smiled lightly.
Lu Ping helped her change into an elegant outfit, and wanted to put some makeup on Gu Tingyan's face, but Gu Tingyan refused, and the two left Yalan Ju and sat down at the seemingly quiet stone table, and Yang Pinglan slowly walked over after a while.
Seeing Gu Qianyan here, she did not leave from Gu Qianyan in a hurry, but looked at Gu Qianyan and smiled slightly.
"Gu Liangdi, can I sit here?"
Gu Tianyan got up and said, "Gu Liangdi has seen Concubine Yang. Then he said, "It doesn't hurt to have one more person at this stone table." β
Yang Pinglan smiled and nodded and sat down, looking at the delicate pastries that Gu Qianyan put on the table, she could also see what kind of favorite Gu Tingyan was in front of Feng Jinglan at this time.
"My sister's food is also exquisite, I think it is because of the favor of His Royal Highness the Prince, which makes my sister envious." Yang Pinglan's second sentence began to be called sisters, but how close the relationship between the two was.
"Sister Concubine laughed." Gu Tianyan replied lukewarmly.
Yang Pinglan looked at Gu Qianyan so indifferently, and said: "The injury on my sister's face is better, Sister Chu's temper is like that sometimes, you don't have to be weird with Sister Chu, sometimes Sister Chu's actions can't even persuade me." β
"Thank you Sister Concubine for your concern. The injuries on his face are no longer serious. Gu Tianyan's face did not fluctuate at all because of Yang Pinglan's words.
"A good face was beaten that day, even my sister felt distressed when I saw it, but I'm just the daughter of the family. Compared with Sister Chu's general's daughter-in-law, after all, she can't say anything, and my sister won't blame my sister for not helping me at that time, right? Yang Pinglan smiled lightly, at this time, during Chu Jiaorou's grounding period, she moved towards Gu Qianyan and wanted to provoke the relationship between the two: "Sister Chu was also angry at that time, don't take it to heart." β
Sister Concubine said with a smile, what happened that day. Qian Yan has long been unable to remember, how can he blame it, and put it in his heart. "Say it. Gu Tianyan looked at Lu Ping beside him and said, "Lu Ping still doesn't fill Concubine Yang's tea. β
Lu Ping nodded hurriedly, picked up the flower tea and added it to Yang Pinglan's teacup, whether it was tea or taste. They are all rare boutiques in the palace.
Yang Pinglan saw Gu Tianyan's lukewarm expression. There is still a smile on her face, and this good flower tea is probably also a reward that Feng Jinglan sent to Gu Qianyan these days, originally Yang Pinglan wanted to borrow someone's hand to rectify Gu Qianyan, but she didn't expect to make a wedding dress for Gu Tingyan, after being slapped, Gu Tingyan has always been able to receive Feng Jinglan's favor.
It's not good for others not to be envious, Yang Pinglan took a sip of flower tea. looked at Gu Tianyan with a smile.
"The taste of this flower tea is indeed fragrant and pleasant, and there is a sweetness in the aftertaste. My sister likes it. β
"If my sister likes it, I'll let someone send some to my sister's palace in the future." Gu Tianyan replied lightly.
"Has your relationship with Sister Chu eased? If it weren't for my sister to be a peacemaker between the two of you, then the past would be over, and how about you and Chu Jiaorou write off those grudges at the beginning? Yang Pinglan said.
Gu Tianyan was stunned, looked at Yang Pinglan puzzled, and said: "What kind of grudge can Sister Chu and I have, Sister Yang is afraid that she has thought too much, although the two of us have some misunderstandings now, and if you want to talk about grudges, it is too much." β
Yang Pinglan looked at Gu Qianyan, who didn't eat oil and salt, and didn't know what else to say for a while, but now the crane fighting for the mussel is honestly hiding in the shell, and he doesn't compete with the crane, but the crane wants to eat its soft meat, and he can't peck the hard shell, and the crane can't eat it for a long time, and he will leave without interest, and the mussel will naturally return to the sea, and since then, the two of them will not interfere with the river water.
If this is really the case, wouldn't the hard work Yang Pinglan did before be done in vain, thinking of this, Yang Pinglan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly covered his unhappiness just now, and smiled at Gu Tianyan.
"Sister Gu, my sister is afraid that it will be inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so I will go back first, the sun will be very hot at noon, and my sister is now a celebrity next to His Royal Highness the Prince, so don't hurt your body bones."
Gu Tianyan responded with a light smile: "What my sister said is true." β
After that, Gu Tingyan watched Yang Tinglan leave and the smile on her face slowly sank, and Lu Ping looked at Yang Pinglan's back and smiled at Gu Tingyan.
"How good it was for the master and Concubine Yang to be Jinlan, the slave and maid looked at Concubine Yang gentle and reasonable, and she didn't fight or fight, if the master really walked with Concubine Yang, it would be a good thing." Luping said.
Gu Tianyan shook his head: "Lu Ping can't see people with her eyes, you have to be attentive, although Concubine Yang's words are generous and decent, but in fact, they are provoking the relationship between me and Concubine Chu, I am now a celebrity around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in their eyes, Concubine Yang wants to borrow me to blow more pillow wind in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snubs Concubine Chu because of me, then Concubine Chu will definitely not let me go after being grounded." β
"Is the master's mind too clear, I see that Concubine Yang is generous and decent, which is suitable for the master's non-fighting temperament."
"You, you, if you were such a naΓ―ve person as you came to the Prince's Mansion, maybe you would have died a long time ago, a person like Concubine Yang is really generous and decent, and she will not slap the maid next to her in the swollen face, in the end, she is just a jealous woman, but she doesn't fight, and she knows how to use others as chess pieces." Gu Tianyan chuckled, picked up a piece of pastry and put it to his mouth.
Lu Ping couldn't help but nodded, and said curiously: "How can the master see it?" β
"She was too close to Qi Hongshan for a while, and Qi Hongshan couldn't get along with us everywhere, and now she is close to Concubine Chu again, and Concubine Chu and I have reached this situation, that mouth, how many provocative words have been said." After Gu Tianyan finished speaking, he took a bite of the pastry.
With a smile on his face. In his heart, he has long been familiar with Yang Pinglan's methods, if it is not Gu Tianyan who is sitting here at this time, it will be another woman. Maybe he was provoked by Yang Pinglan and tore his face with Chu Jiaorou.
After all, when a woman is favored, her mind is the least clear, coupled with the humiliation in Yalanju that day, it is reasonable for Gu Tingyan to be excessive, but Yang Pinglan did not expect that Gu Tingyan was not favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, but planned by His Royal Highness the Prince's side. How to get rid of this Yang Pinglan and the entire Yang family!
Gu Tianyan was still sitting and eating refreshments, and he didn't look impatient, and let Lu Ping sit aside to accompany him.
The two of them stayed there for an hour. After Lu Ping couldn't sit still and whispered to Gu Qianyan, Gu Tianyan had to leave with Lu Ping first.
At this time, Gu Tingyan just wanted to take Lu Ping away, but Qiu Ting crept over, looked around, and sat down beside Gu Tingyan if there was no one around. And let Luping hide some of herself.
"How did Qiu Ting come. The pastries on the table can be eaten if you want. Gu Tianyan said softly.
Qiu Ting shook his head with a light smile, and looked around again: "Gu Liangdi, don't take what my master said today, don't take it to heart what my master said today, don't go to the step of stiffening with Concubine Chu, what is Concubine Chu's life experience, if you want to fight her, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat." β
Gu Tianyan covered his lips and smiled lightly, looking at the appearance of the child in Qiu Ting, his heart softened a little. Said gently: "You came here at such a great risk to remind me of this?" You stupid girl. If you are caught by Concubine Yang, you can bear it, I know what to do in my heart, don't take such a big risk in the future, it's good that I'm here, otherwise you will run to the vicinity of my palace, and it will be even more difficult to argue. β
"Gu ...... Gu Liangdi. β
Qiu Ting looked at Gu Tingyan and said this a little incomprehensible, originally just wanted to use this matter to repay Gu Tingyan's kindness, but was provoked by Gu Tingyan's advice to soften his heart for a while, Qiu Ting nodded and was just about to leave, Gu Tingyan picked up a piece of fragrant cake and handed it to Qiu Ting, and condescended to fill Qiu Ting with a cup of flower tea.
"Eat slowly, go back quickly after eating, don't let others find Duan'er." After Gu Tianyan finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Ping: "Lu Ping is optimistic about the surroundings, if you find something wrong, let me know, don't let Qiu Ting be embarrassed." β
"It's the master." Lu Ping looked at Gu Tianyan and smiled slightly, and helped the two of them look at the wind.
In the face of Gu Tingyan's kindness, Qiu Ting had no way to refuse, after all, she was still a child who was not very sensible, not to mention the delicious taste that Gu Tianyan gave her last time, which had always made her never forget it, which had never been by Yang Pinglan's side.
In fact, there are many things that Qiu Ting has not tasted, even Yang Pinglan, the unfavored side concubine, has never eaten it, of course, it is unknown whether she has eaten it in Chu Jiaorou.
Qiu Ting carefully picked up the pastries on the table and ate them, taking a sip of the flower tea in the cup from time to time, occasionally raising his head to look at Gu Qianyan's eyes, Gu Tingyan's eyes without impurities made Qiu Ting feel more at ease when he ate these delicious pastries.
If Qiu Ting and Lu Ping were not maidservants, what would they be?
Gu Tianyan tilted his head and looked at Lu Ping who was standing on the side, and then looked at Qiu Ting who was sitting on the side, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and after thinking for a long time, he took a long breath and shook his head.
Xindao is even in the deep palace himself, how can he still care about others......
After Qiu Ting drank the last sip of tea, he looked at Gu Tianyan with some flattery.
Gu Tianyan came back to his senses, patted the back of Qiu Ting's hand gently, and said with a smile: "Go back quickly!" Don't let Concubine Yang find out. β
Qiu Ting nodded subconsciously, and hurried to Yang Tinglan's palace pavilion, Lu Ping looked at Gu Qianyan, and knew in her heart what Gu Tingyan probably meant by doing this, so she slowly sat down beside Gu Qianyan, with both hands on her chin, staring at Gu Tianyan with a pair of eyes and blinking.
"The slave knows why the master wants to get closer to Qiu Ting, in fact, it is ...... to let Concubine Chu slip the tire."
Before Gu Qianyan could finish speaking, his fingers were raised on his lips and he shushed at Lu Ping, and said in an inaudible voice: "Don't talk nonsense about some things, we can't provoke so much right and wrong in Yalanju, do you know?" β
After listening to Gu Qianyan's words, Lu Ping nodded obediently, and Gu Qianyan smiled lightly and filled Lu Ping with flower tea and looked at the surrounding sky.
"It's time to go back to Yalanju today, I'm a little tired after staying outside for too long......" Gu Tianyan said.
Lu Ping picked up the teacup, drank the sip of tea with a coo, poured the cup at Gu Tianyan and smiled sweetly, and then the two cleaned up the empty pastry teacups on the table, and walked towards Yalanju with a wooden plate.
β¦β¦
Compared with Gu Tianyan, Feng Jinglan still has to go to the palace to study these days, and now the saint is in the imperial study, Feng Jinglan only entered the room and saw that the saint's face was already sick and tired, and it looked like the foundation was already weak.
The saint leaned on the side of the desk and heard Feng Jinglan's footsteps, and then slowly opened his eyes, under the slightly same appearance, the face of the saint today was mostly tired and wrinkled, he raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Jinglan, and motioned for him to sit down.
"Lan'er, can you think about how to solve this Chu Jiaorou abortion?" The saint sat up and rested his hand on the desk.
"Back to my father, my sons are investigating who did this these days." Feng Jinglan responded respectfully, thinking that he was afraid that his father also hoped that the child in Chu Jiaorou's womb would not be able to be saved, so as not to tie the prince and General Chu tightly together, otherwise he would not have given him the crumbling Yang Shangshu's daughter Yang Pinglansai.
The saint sneered between his lips and teeth: "This is a matter of grinding, are you planning to cause the dissatisfaction of the Chu family?" Then it's good to come here and stir up trouble, right? β
"Erchen doesn't dare." Feng Jinglan responded, knowing that he had an idea in his heart, even if it was an explanation, it was useless.
"You are not as good as your fourth brother, your fourth brother is a little more casual, but he is not as procrastinating and indecisive as you, Lan'er, you are the future monarch, and now like this, how do you let me entrust the throne to you in the future, it is really disappointing to me!"
Feng Jinglan nodded and admitted: "This matter was mishandled by the son-in-law, and I hope that my father will punish him." β
"You are now the crown prince and my precious son, how can I be willing to be punished, I just teach you how to do things, what Yu Guifei said is right, your way of doing things is still a little worse, you need to change it well, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to hand it over to you in this prosperous world!"
Feng Jinglan nodded indifferently, the wind on the pillow of the Jade Guifei was blowing badly, and now she was very favored by the Shengshang's side, whatever she said, the Shengshang was old and mediocre, and it was the few soft words of the Jade Guifei that could coax her to be happy.
As soon as he thought of this, Feng Jinglan felt ridiculous, but he didn't show the expression on his face, he still looked cold, not only did he not eat oil and salt, but he was also steady and sensible. If it weren't for Feng Jinglan walking on thin ice like this, with the skill of the Jade Guifei, he would have thought of a way to let Feng Jinghuang ascend to the position of the prince, and he wouldn't have to scandalize Feng Jinglan's ability to do things in front of the saint every day.
And Feng Jinglan also understood what the saint said, which meant that the murderer Gu Tianyan in Chu Jiaorou's mouth was pushed out to the Chu family as a scapegoat, and there was no need to investigate anything at all, what the Chu family wanted was just an explanation, and it was given.
However, Feng Jinglan really can't be as ruthless as the saint, and he doesn't have any grudges with Gu Tianyan like Yu Guifei.
"If the father has nothing else to do, the sons want to go to the concubine to visit."
The emperor obviously didn't want to force him too hard, raised his eyes to look at Feng Jinglan, waved his hand for a long time and said, "It's good to go and have a look, and talk to the queen more." (To be continued.) )
