Gu Xinian was full of food and drink and was in the mood to flirt and scold: "There are people who want to invite, but I am worried about the noodles you made with my own hands, so I came back." ”

Knowing that he was joking, Ye Qinglan was still sweet in her heart, and deliberately snorted lightly: "My little craftsmanship is comparable to the chefs in those restaurants and restaurants." Besides, not only are there delicious food and wine, but when you drink it, you are accompanied by beautiful and amorous singers and dancers. ”

This is also the practice of drinking and socializing in officialdom. After three rounds of drinking, it is inevitable to summon a few beautiful Kabuki to help the fun. Although she knew very well that Gu Xinian would not provoke these women who threw themselves into her arms, when she thought of such a scene, no matter how generous a woman was, she would inevitably feel sour.

Gu Xinian enjoyed her slightly sour tone very much, and lazily raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What's so good about those vulgar fans, if I look at them, I might as well look in the mirror myself." ”

That's right, not to mention a man, even if it's a woman, how many people can have such a perfect appearance as Gu Xinian? Thinking about Gu Xinian's picky nature, if an ordinary singer and dancer can get into his eyes, how can he be alone for so many years?

Thinking about it this way, Gu Xinian went out to drink and socialize, she really didn't need to worry.

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and laughed, and naturally asked, "Who are you with tonight?" Why did you come back without eating? Isn't it unpleasant to have trouble with others? And that makes sense. I was clear that I had finished eating, but I came back without eating. It's a little strange to think about it!

Gu Xinian hesitated slightly, then opened his mouth to tell the truth: "Actually." I'm with Shen Changan tonight. ”

This answer was really beyond Ye Qinglan's expectations: "Haven't you always looked at him unpleasantly?" How could I be with him!"

Gu Xi snorted youngly: "Even now, I don't see him pleasing to the eye." But. He had to pass on the message from him this time. "I can only contact Shen a few times according to my temperament.

Ye Qinglan was so keen, she knew that there was something strange in it when she heard it. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed: "He must pass on the message from it, because he is the son of General Shen!" Sending military information or important news in the name of sending a letter to the family does not arouse suspicion. As for your contact with him, you can't let anyone with a heart notice it, so you must meet quietly in private. The least eye-catching place is, of course, the restaurant where people come and go. I guessed right! ”

Gu Xinian smiled dumbly, half jokingly and half sincerely: "Fortunately, you are a woman, if you are born as a man, you will definitely be the most sharp and powerful opponent I have ever seen in my life!" ”

This is for Ye Qinglan. It is nothing less than the greatest compliment.

Ye Qinglan pretended to be proud and raised her head: "If there is anything you can't figure out in the future, just come and ask me for advice." I will definitely give advice. ”

Gu Xinian smiled absentmindedly, took her into his arms, and laughed informably: "What a sharp little mouth, wait for me to taste how powerful it is"

Next, children are not suitable, please avoid it quickly!

For more than a month after that, Gu Xinian basically didn't have dinner in the mansion. Ye Qinglan gradually got used to the days of waiting for the door every night, and in order to pass the time, she simply found a lot of books from Gu Xinian's study. Historical biographies, miscellaneous travelogues, and even popular novels are available in the books. This look is a pleasure. I don't feel that time is long, I often watch it with relish, and I don't realize that Gu Xinian has returned.

Gu Xinian didn't say anything. But there was something in my heart. ruthlessly pushed away some entertainment, and tried to go back home early to accompany Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan knew it in her heart, and she didn't expose this layer in her mouth. I just secretly think it's funny and heartwarming.

Gu Xinian's habit of cherishing words like gold has gradually changed a lot in front of Ye Qinglan. Sometimes he even took the initiative to mention major events in the DPRK and China. For example, there have been frequent defeats in border battles recently.

"Every three days, there will be a report from the border gate. Recently, we have lost several battles in a row, but fortunately, there are not many casualties. But. It's enough for the emperor to be unhappy. Today, in the court, he reprimanded the prince again. Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, and there was an unfathomable smile on his lips: "The third prince is contrary to the usual-for-tat, but he helped the prince say some good things." But the emperor is angry, and the more the third prince talks, the more annoyed the emperor becomes. If this continues, perhaps the emperor will soon deprive the prince of the task of post-war coordination as the three princes wished, and hand over the matter to the three princes instead. ”

Ye Qinglan has been thinking carefully these days, but she faintly guessed the plan he and General Shen set up, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and couldn't help but say: "The plan you and General Shen set is too dangerous, if you are not careful, it will really be defeated." ”

Morale is something you can't see or touch, but it's very important in war. Even if it is a pre-designed fraud, for those ordinary soldiers who do not know, it is a series of defeats. After a long time, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably be low, and even if you want to win the battle, it will not be easy

Regarding her concerns, Gu Xinian just smiled indifferently: "It is impossible to do anything without risk." I am not proficient in the things on the battlefield, but I believe that General Shen will definitely be able to turn the crisis into victory at a critical time. "In the case of mental arithmetic and mental calculation, it does take a bit of luck for anyone to have the last laugh. Gu Xinian believes that good luck must be on his side!

Ye Qinglan was full of confidence when she saw that he was holding Zhizhu, and she didn't say anything more, but in the days that followed, she paid more and more attention to every move in the court.

With the defeat at the border pass, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and the pressure on the prince became more and more intense. On the other hand, the three princes are in a faction, but they are competing to be active. General Shen was impeached one after another, and even the crown prince, who was in charge of the coordination of the war, was also subjected to Yang. The disgraced ones who are impeached every day. The three princes were eager to try, and they had the intention of taking over and showing their strength. It's just that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and the emperor didn't open his mouth to speak for a day, even if the three princes jumped up and down again, it would be useless.

The situation in the court was not calm in the first place, and under this uncalm, there was an even more disturbing atmosphere. It's like a low air pressure that is about to come from the storm, which makes everyone unconsciously worried.

The prince was busy and depressed. Under such circumstances, Gu Xinian certainly must not be idle. After finishing the affairs of the household every day, I have to go to the prince's mansion and my colleagues to give advice and soothe people's hearts for the prince, and I am very busy.

The people who care about the war at the border are not only men, but even the women of the inner house have heard of it. On this day, after checking the account books, Mrs. Zheng suddenly sighed: "I don't know how long this battle will last." ”

Ye Qinglan comforted: "Anyway, it is thousands of miles away, even if it loses the battle, it will not affect the capital." ”

Mrs. Zheng's vision was much higher than Ye Qinglan imagined: "That's not what I said. Only when the border is stabilized can the people's hearts be stabilized. Otherwise, the people of the court are scattered, and the capital, as the center of a dynasty, can be safe? ”

Ye Qinglan didn't have to pretend to be admirable: "Mother-in-law is far-sighted, which really makes her daughter-in-law ashamed." ”

Mrs. Zheng smiled: "I have lived a few more years, I have seen more than others, and I will inevitably think more, so there is nothing surprising to do." I'm not worried about anything else, I'm afraid that the crown prince will fall, and Xi Nian will also be affected" All the worries were undoubtedly revealed in the last light sigh.

At this moment, Ye Qinglan had an impulse and suddenly wanted to comfort Mrs. Zheng. Gu Xinian will not be implicated, and the person who will really suffer the unlucky should be the third prince

When these words came out, they were finally changed to: "Xianggong is responsible for preparing grain and grass, as long as the supply of grain and grass is sufficient and nothing goes wrong, even if the army loses the battle, he can't be blamed." Mother-in-law just rest assured. ”

It makes sense to think so. Mrs. Zheng thought about it and couldn't help laughing at herself: "Look at me, I've been thinking nonsense all day long." These things in the court, even if we women know about them, we can't do anything about them. It's better not to know anything, but to live a little quieter. ”

After a pause, he sighed again: "Actually, I'm not just worried about Xi Nian. The person who led the army this time was General Shen, and I was just worried that in case of successive defeats, maybe Shen Changan would also lead the army to the border pass for reinforcements. It's hard to say how long this war will last, if it's a few months or a year and a half, Yu'er and so on. If it drags on for a long time, there is no news for three or two years, what should Yu'er do then? ”

Although he still doesn't treat Shen Changan very well, he can look at Gu Xiyu's posture, whether Shen Changan is not married. In case Shen Changan really led the army to the border and didn't come back for a few years, wouldn't he delay his family affairs in vain?

Ye Qinglan took the opportunity to intercede for the two of them: "Your concerns are also reasonable. Since this is the case, it is better to let the two of them decide on the family affairs first, and there is no need to worry about when they will get married. In short, with the status of an unmarried couple, there is no fear of delay. ”

There is some truth to this.

Mrs. Zheng was obviously moved, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Ye Qinglan knew the truth of being too much, and she didn't persuade her anymore. I don't know what Mrs. Zheng discussed with Gu Hong that night, in short, early the next morning, when Gu Xilai asked for peace, she deliberately left him to discuss the matter: "Yu'er is also not young, and it will be seventeen after the New Year in two months, shouldn't you hurry up and set your relatives at the end of the year?" ”

Although he said it very implicitly, he didn't mention the man's name at all. How could Gu Xinian not know Mrs. Zheng's thoughts?

In the final analysis, I am still worried that there will be twists and turns in the border war, and the possibility of Shen Changan going to the battlefield has greatly increased, lest the marriage be delayed. (To be continued......)
