(144) Wanhua River Lantern Afterimage (38)
Gu Yuancheng nodded lightly and asked, "Your Majesty is in there at the moment?" ”
Father-in-law Wang bent down and replied, "Your Majesty is inside, and you are approving the folding." ”
"Hmm." Gu Yuancheng answered, and then turned his head to look at me, "I'll go in first, you wait for me outside." ”
"Okay." I nodded.
After all, it was a private matter for him to talk to Emperor Qi, and although I wanted to take this opportunity to continue to speed up the process of the envoy, it was not easy to follow in.
Gu Yuancheng's eyes swept away, and immediately saw all the expressions on my face into his eyes, he did not enter the imperial study immediately, but took two steps closer to me, and said in a low voice, "Qingzhi, leave the palace in a while, how about I invite you to see the flower boat?" ”
"Flower boats?" I was stunned.
Gu Yuancheng endured the smile on the corner of his mouth, and was informed by Gonggong Wang and entered the imperial study.
There were a group of guards in front of the door of the imperial study, and it was not good for me to forcibly break in and let Gu Yuancheng make his words clear, so I could only suppress the curiosity in my heart, walked around boredly, and then found a small pavilion close to sit in.
"I don't know what the situation in Beijing is now......" I looked at the majestic and atmospheric palace scene in front of me, and sighed in my heart, feeling a little tired.
"Lord Shen Xiang." Grandpa Wang didn't know when he came out of the imperial study and walked towards me.
I looked up at him, and the events of the morning were still vivid, and the strange feeling in my heart suddenly came out again.
"It turned out to be Grandpa Wang." I stood up with a stiff smile: "Is there something wrong with Grandpa Wang's search for his true appearance?" ”
Although Grandpa Wang is an old dragon clock, his legs and feet are not slow, and he walked to the pavilion in a few clicks, he first looked me up and down, and then bowed and saluted, "The old slave has seen Lord Shen Xiang, and the old slave has nothing to do with you, I just want to ask the lord, Grandpa Fang Cai Guo took the Imperial Forest Army to find Lord Gu Xiang, since you came with Lord Gu Xiang, I don't know if you and Lord Gu Xiang have met Grandpa Guo?" ”
You came to me for this?
I was relieved, nodded and said, "Yes, I met Grandpa Guo on the way to the imperial study just now." ”
"As soon as the grandfather entered the palace today, he broke into the imperial study to see His Majesty, and then got His Majesty's will to take a team of imperial guards to find Lord Gu Xiang, the old slave originally thought that something had happened to Lord Gu Xiang, but he didn't expect that after only a while, you and Gu Xiang appeared together." Grandpa Wang's tone was full of strangeness, obviously he wanted me to give him an answer.
"Gu Xiang and Ben Xiang went to do some private things together today, so they didn't tell Grandpa Guo in advance." I explained to him, "Grandpa Guo loves his son very much, and this pile of misfortunes is the fault of both of us. ”
"What did you say? This is Lord Gu Xiang's family matter, no matter how strange it is, it will not be blamed on the head of the adult. Father-in-law Wang waved his hand disapprovingly, but his demeanor was not at all as presumptuous as in the morning.
I looked at him and couldn't help but be suspicious.
Although Gonggong Wang is the chief eunuch, he is just a slave after all, is his bold behavior in the morning really out of his original intention?
Or is it actually because I'm suspicious and suspicious?
"Father-in-law Wang is reasonable, but he is too worried." I perfunctory him, ready to find an opportunity to sneak out of the palace gate, and wait for him at the palace gate, "I still have important things to do, go first, my father-in-law is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and there are many things to be busy, right?" I won't bother my father-in-law with this appearance. ”
With that, I quickened my pace and went out at another intersection of the kiosk.
This time, Father-in-law Wang didn't mean to stop me, and even bowed down very respectfully to see me leave.
I always felt some indescribable disobedience in my heart, but at the moment there was no evidence, and I didn't see any flaws in him, and the discomfort in my heart could only be put aside for later.
All the way out of the palace gate, I casually found a conspicuous teahouse and walked in, Xiao Er served a pot of tea and prepared some snacks, I waited for Gu Yuancheng to come over while eating.
However, I don't know what the reason is, I drank cup after cup of tea in the teahouse, and went to the toilet again and again, until the middle of the moon, the teahouse closed, and Gu Yuancheng still did not appear.
What's wrong with him? It stands to reason that since he said that he would take me to see the flower boat, he would never break his word, but why hasn't he shown up until now?
I kicked the pole of the teahouse signboard standing next to it with a very bad face, and the pole fell down, I didn't see it, and left with my sleeves, but after taking a few steps, I returned to the place again and helped up the pole that fell to the ground.
"Damn, this can't be sturdy!" I stared at the crooked pole in front of me, and the anger suddenly jumped upward.
"Oh, my sign!" The shopkeeper of the teahouse ran out after realizing it, hugged his pole and cried, as if he was the one who was kicked down by me.
"Whoa." I handed him the money bag around my waist, "I should accompany you with a new one." ”
Seeing that I was so happy, the expression on his face changed, and he immediately took the money bag, said "thank you" to me with joy, and hurried into the teahouse.
Now I can be regarded as losing my wife and losing my soldiers.
"Lord Shen Xiang?"
I was about to go back to the inn, when suddenly a person came out of the corner in front of me, with a long shirt and a tall posture. doctor
By the dim light, I struggled to look at the person's face, and by the time I could see it, the person was already standing in front of me.
"Yun Sheng? Why are you here? "I was surprised.
"Come here for business." Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "My lord, you have opened the door for me, and I can't live up to your expectations." ”
"You came to Qi Kingdom, what should Miss Yun do? Isn't it safe for her to be alone in Jiangnan like this? After being surprised, I couldn't help but nag, "How can young people nowadays only care about pursuing money?" ”
Yun Sheng's face darkened, and he retorted in a low voice, "I seem to be a little older than you." ”
"......" I hooked Yun Sheng's neck and smiled at him, "It's better to meet by chance, how about we find a tavern for a drink or two?" ”
"Adults want to drink?" Yun Sheng frowned, "But now that the night is dark, it's better for adults to go back and rest." ”
"What?" I feigned annoyance, "You won't even give me such a little face? ”
Although he knew in his heart that I wasn't really angry, he couldn't disobey my words, so he could only sigh and compromise, "Which tavern do you want to go to?" ”
I pointed to the tavern with lanterns on the edge not far away, "That's it." ”
Yun Sheng nodded, "Please put down your hand, I'll accompany you to drink." ”
"Tsk, it's still you, it's still you're reasonable." I didn't put down my hand according to his words, but walked directly to the tavern with him in my arms, "I know that my vision is right, who made me so good by nature?" ”
"......" At this moment, Yun Sheng really had a feeling of wanting to get into the cracks in the ground.
Shame, shame!
Although it was late at night, there were not many people in the tavern, and Yun Sheng was brought into the tavern by my neck, and the two of us immediately became the focus of the tavern.
I didn't care, and pulled him to find a place to sit down.
"Little Er, serve the wine!"
After a battle between heaven and man, Yun Sheng couldn't help but persuade me, "Childe, if you get drunk here, how can I send you back to where you live?" ”
"I'm here on business, you can guess where I live, right?" I took the flask handed by Xiao Er, got up and filled a glass for Yun Sheng, "If you can't find an excuse that can convince me, just order a drink with me." ”
Yun Sheng looked at me pouring a large glass, and said with some doubts, "Why is Childe drinking today?" ”
"Do you need a reason to drink too?" After I filled my cup, I put down the wine jug, "Brother Yun drinks tea and eats all day long, why don't you give an explanation?" ”
“......“
Yun Sheng decided not to suffer anymore, picked up the wine glass and saluted me, and then raised his head and drank it all.
"What a strong wine!" As soon as he finished drinking, Yun Sheng's face wrinkled, and the tongue in his mouth almost lost consciousness.
When I saw him like this, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, Biancheng is famous in the world, you actually swallowed it in one gulp, admire, admire!"
Now Yun Sheng can be completely sure that the person in front of him who is laughing is simply trying to find someone to vent his resentment, and he unfortunately happened to bump into her hand.
"Since Childe invited me to drink, then please ask Childe to settle the wine money." Yun Sheng didn't agree to recover, and began to threaten me with a straight face.
Yun Sheng is a businessman, and his keen eye for money can be seen, and he must have seen my current predicament from one of my eyes or actions.
"How can you bear to threaten a person who can only hold a dead money?" I complained.
"Childe doesn't have any silver?" Yun Sheng took the flask and slowly filled himself with a glass of wine, "It's okay, I have the money, and it's okay to pay for Gongzi for the time being, but I'm a businessman, and businessmen are very profitable, what will Gongzi take to pay me back in the future?" ”
The corners of my mouth twitched, and I felt that I should not go out at all today.
first looked at Emperor Qi's eyes, and then was made furious by that Wang Gonggong, and then he was hit by Gu Yuancheng's father, this is not the end, Gu Yuancheng still missed the appointment without saying a word!
Now I don't even have money to drink, and I have to be skinned alive by Yun Sheng, how will I live in the future!
"You know what?" I leaned my head close to Yun Sheng's face, "Actually, Gu Yuancheng owes me a lot of money, how about you put today's account on his head?" ”
"If Gongzi can let Young Master Gu appear in the tavern right now and admit this account in person, I will naturally be happy to do so."
