Out of the medical hall, Gu Qingwan first went to Ganlu Temple to pick up Ziyu, and the carriage drove into the bustling street, with colorful lights along the way, which was very lively.

"Ziyu, it's so lively today!" Gu Qingwan lifted the curtain and enjoyed the lively landscape outside.

"Miss, today is the Lantern Festival, of course it's lively."

"It turned out to be the Lantern Festival, I said, why is it so lively. Ziyu, it's still early, and I want to go out for a walk. Gu Qingwan closed the curtain and began to change into men's clothes in the carriage.

"Miss, do you still want to dress up as a man?" Ziyu watched in surprise as Gu Qingwan finished her dressing.

"Ziyu, you are so smart!" After Gu Qingwan got her hair done, she nodded Ziyu's nose and jumped out of the carriage, "Ziyu, you go back first, I'll enter through the back door tonight, you remember to open the back door for me!" ”

Gu Qingwan has not been in contact with this kind of excitement for a long time, and she has participated in festivals before, but as the queen mother, every time she sits on a high platform, looking down on the celebration of the people, it is always like a membrane, hazy, and watching a play. It's been a long time since I've been standing among the people like this, and I feel this kind of joy and feel it like this, and I can touch my heart like this.

……

After tossing and turning in the market for nearly an hour, the sky gradually darkened, Gu Qingwan's stomach was already hungry, and she was hesitating, when she caught a glimpse of a "Laifu Building" at the corner of the street, bursts of aroma wafting out, and she was pondering whether to eat outside, and her feet had already walked honestly to the downstairs of the restaurant.

Laifulou can only be regarded as a second-rate hotel in the bustling capital, with a mixture of dragons and snakes, both officials and families with status, as well as people from the rivers and lakes who come and go, and the restaurant is full of people, which is quite lively.

Although Gu Qingwan has never entered this kind of restaurant, she is free and natural in nature, and her ability to accept novelties is not comparable to that of ordinary ladies.

Xiao Er ran all over the field, very busy, and saw that there were guests coming to the door at a glance, and he was dressed well, so he immediately greeted him, and greeted him in his mouth: "Guest officer, please inside." "When I got closer, my heart jumped, I have been a running hall for three or four years, and I have never seen such a handsome and outstanding teenager.

As soon as Gu Qingwan stepped into the inner hall, she lamented in her heart that there was no empty table in the noisy room.

As if to see through what she was thinking, Xiao Er smiled all over his face and said comfortingly: "Childe, don't worry, I'll help you find a good seat, you wait." As soon as he finished speaking, he was already shuttling between the tables, and his flexibility was evident.

Gu Qingwan began to look around carefully, but she was also happy. Just as she was looking, Xiao Er had already turned back and said with a smile: "The seat has been found." ”

followed Xiao Er to the window, it turned out to be a window seat, half of the window was open, and the festive scene outside was in full view. There were already two guests sitting at the table, one was dressed as a middle-aged scribe, dressed in ordinary clothes, with a smile, but a little elegant. The other is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome face and eyes like a star, but his expression is cold, and he has the momentum of not approaching anyone.

Gu Qingwan was slightly stunned when she saw the young man, she didn't expect Chen Yuan to be here!

Seeing Gu Qingwan, the middle-aged scribe nodded at her, it was a greeting, Gu Qingwan concocted it in the same way, and returned the salute, and the cold and quiet young man was also slightly stunned when he saw her, "You? ”

"Second Brother Chen, what a coincidence, I didn't expect the younger brother to meet Second Brother Chen here." Gu Qingwan was happy to see the old man, and deliberately suppressed her voice to speak.

The middle-aged scribe looked at Gu Qingwan and Chen Yuan in surprise, "General, do you know?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded as a tacit acquiescence, and Gu Qingwan enthusiastically introduced herself, "Hello sir, Chen Xiaoqing is the sworn brother of Second Brother Chen. ”

"It turned out to be our general's sworn brother, why haven't I heard the general mention it before?" The middle-aged scribe was a little puzzled.

"I just met when I returned to Beijing this time." Chen Yuan opened his mouth to relieve the siege.

Gu Qingwan winked at Chen Yuan, and her appearance looked playful and smart.

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and Gu Qingwan's eccentric appearance made him laugh.

Chen Xiaoqing. Chen Yuan silently recited the name in his heart, and his mood also became better.

In your name, I have my surname.

"Oh. Below is the military advisor next to the general, my name is Xu Maolin. ”

"Hello Mr. Xu." Gu Qingwan greeted him, she recognized this strategist beside Chen Yuan, Xu Maolin was very knowledgeable, proficient in the art of war, he was Chen Yuan's right-hand man, and he had a high reputation in Chen Yuan's army, and even her father often praised this strategist.

Sitting down, she casually ordered a few signature dishes recommended by Xiao Er, and she settled down to care about the surrounding environment. The geographical location of this seat is really good, she can not only see the situation in the entire lobby, but also have a panoramic view of the situation outside, while observing, she found that Chen Yuan was always paying attention to the situation outside the window, although he covered it up well, but Gu Qingwan still noticed that he would show a trace of solemnity when he stared out of the window.

It seems that Chen Yuan didn't come here to simply eat.

After a while, the dishes Gu Qingwan called were already served, and she was hungry, and she felt delicious to eat.

Xu Maolin, who was at the same table, spoke to Chen Yuan while eating, talking about some interesting things in the capital and topics that circulated among the people, although he just said it alone, Chen Yuan listened, but his eloquence was quite good, and Gu Qingwan also listened to it with relish.

"Guo Guifei is favored by the emperor, it can be said that three thousand favors in one, I heard that the concubine likes the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor has built a lot of construction in the palace, and plans to build a Jingyi Palace in the palace." Xu Maolin suddenly mentioned this topic, and Gu Qingwan heard that it was a matter related to the palace, so it was inevitable to pay attention to it.

When Chen Yuan heard this, his face became even colder, his eyebrows frowned, and he looked a little dissatisfied.

Xu Maolin also noticed that he was a little dissatisfied, smiled, and then said: "The saint favors Guo Guifei, and he values the Guo family behind the concubine even more, Li Chengxiang is old and has more than enough strength, most of the things in the court are in charge of Guo Xiangye, seeing that the power of the Guo family is getting bigger day by day, and Guo Xiangye has always been at odds with Gu Houye." The general didn't think that the saint's trip was all about giving the Guo family the ability to compete with Gu Houye. ”

Gu Qingwan just swallowed the smooth shredded beef that was said to be the signature of Laifulou, when she heard this, she was stunned, she didn't have time to chew, and the shredded meat slid down her throat, choked, quite uncomfortable, and raised her head slightly, wanting to hear how he talked about it.

The head of the Chinese officials of the imperial court was Guo and Li, and the head of the military attaché was Gu Tianyuan, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who had been canonized as a hussar general. Today's saints are most afraid of Gu Tianyuan, who holds military power, and Chen Chun, the king of Yunnan whose fief is in Yunnan, Chen Chun is the only prince with a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty. More than ten years ago, the Nanyue Kingdom took advantage of the war between the Great Zhou and the Turks and also took the opportunity to invade the south of the Great Zhou and occupied the entire Yunnan region of the Great Zhou, and Chen Chun was transferred to the south from the battlefield fighting with the Turks at that time. Chen Chun was originally a general beside Gu Tianyuan, he was recommended by Gu Tianyuan to go to the south to quell the rebellion because of his outstanding talent, Chen Chun also lived up to expectations to recover Yunnan, and was canonized as the king of Yunnan for his outstanding military exploits.

Over the years, Chen Chun and Gu Tianyuan have protected the Great Zhou from foreign invasion in the south and the north, and have maintained peace for more than ten years. The so-called meritorious masters, the current saints have long been afraid of them, and they can't wait to get rid of them as soon as possible.

In his previous life, the saint was already ready to take action against them at this time, but unfortunately he didn't expect Chen Chun to take precautions in advance, and finally took a bite back and subverted Da Zhou in advance.

Xu Maolin didn't say any more, but Chen Yuan, who was beside Gu Qingwan, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan thanked her and took a few sips of tea to relieve the discomfort in her throat.

Chen Yuan quickly glanced at Xu Maolin and said, "Go on." ”
