Chapter 003: Memories of the Holy Decree
When I opened my eyes again, I was still accompanied by Gu's mother, Song Zhiyi.
Gu's mother was obviously extremely tired, sitting on the side of the table, her head slightly lowered and her eyes closed for a rest, looking at the white hair that appeared on her mother's sideburns at some point, Gu Yuyin's eyes turned red unconsciously.
She wanted to struggle to sit up, but the slight sound of lifting the quilt woke up Gu's mother at once, and she came to the window in three steps and two steps, and pressed Gu Yuyin's shoulder to let her rest.
"You scared my mother to death." Gu's mother reached out to probe Gu Yuyin's forehead again, and saw that the high fever had subsided, so she finally put her mind at ease, and babbled about the thrilling when Gu Yuyin was asleep:
"When I saw you come back that day, there was really no blood on my face, I almost, almost thought I was going to lose you..."
Speaking of the heartbreak of that day, Gu's mother had rare red eyes.
This is the first time Gu Yuyin has seen her mother cry, in her memory, her mother is always tough and generous, and she has never lost her temper.
"Mother, don't cry, don't cry." Like the little Gu Fuxiu, Gu Yuyin mocked himself in his heart at the moment, and he could only coax people so clumsily, he didn't know what to say, he only instinctively felt that if he could stop his tears, it would be the best thing at the moment.
"Okay, okay." Gu's mother couldn't bear her daughter to be sad with her, so she stood up and turned her head to wipe away her tears, and then looked back, which made her startled.
Gu Yuyin, who was only dressed in single clothes, got out of bed at some point, knelt behind her for a long time, without gorgeous clothes and embellishments, and her thin figure looked even more haggard.
"Good daughter, get up." Gu's mother wanted to help, but was forcibly blocked by Gu Yuyin's next move.
The seventeen-year-old woman, gentle and delicate, knelt on the cold floor tiles at this time, and her head sounded three times in a row, and her tone was neither humble nor arrogant:
"The daughter knows her mistake, please punish her mother."
Even though she has been ill since she came back, but the wanton pursuit that day, I am afraid that it has already spread all over Beijing, the eldest daughter of the dignified prime minister's mansion, left a book and eloped, and it was unsuccessful, this is the joke of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, the biggest joke since the establishment of Liang in the Southern Dynasty.
"Knock, knock, knock." The voice had already made Gu's mother unbearable to listen.
"The daughter is shameless and elopes, which breaks her mother's nurturing grace for many years."
"That's enough." Gu's mother pressed Gu Yuyin's emaciated shoulders hard, word by word:
"You're good."
"You're not wrong."
Then the two sat facing each other at the table, Gu's mother pulled Gu Yuyin and said softly:
"It's so emotional, what's the matter, after all, you and your mother are really alike."
Back then, Gu's father was just a down-and-out scholar, like all old-fashioned stories, the daughter of the landlord's family fell in love with the poor Xiucai who splashed ink and had a sour nose, and after Xiucai was in high school, he didn't forget the poor couple.
Gu Yu called to her:
"Mother."
"Good girl, you are the best girl in the world."
Gu's mother pulled Gu Yuyin into her arms in distress, the turmoil of the past two days made her exhausted, but she always remembered that she was a mother, she was willing to protect her children at all costs, in the face of pervasive ridicule, she tried her best to stop them, those bad words, she could help her daughter bear it, forever.
"Good girl, your road is still long." Gu's mother stroked Gu Yuyin's hair with one hand and muttered.
"My daughter's reputation has been ruined, what is the future." Gu Yuyin laughed at himself,
"Eloping from the book and being abandoned by the lover, the biggest irony of women in the world is nothing more than this."
Seeing that Gu Yuyin was disheartened, Gu's mother wanted to speak and stopped, and finally opened her mouth:
"Did you know... The crown prince returned to Beijing. ”
Seeing that Gu Yuyin's eyes were full of doubts, Gu Mu gritted her teeth and said:
"Two days ago, the prince returned to Beijing, and I went to see him."
"Prince..."Gu Yuyin's thoughts pulled back to the sixteen years he had never been with the prince, he was really good, even if in the eyes of others, she and the prince were born as a couple, and they were concubines, but only the people at the bottom of the net know that the prince's kindness to her is always measured, and the eternal care reveals alienation, and she and the prince will not be all the way after all.
Seeing Gu Yuyin's expression, Gu's mother thought that Gu Yuyin remembered the good of the former prince, so she continued:
"I'll go to the crown prince to discuss, discuss your marriage."
"Marriage?!" Gu Yuyin looked at Gu's mother from her embrace, "Why is the marriage?!" ”
"Your marriage to the crown prince."
Gu's mother's words made Gu Yuyin sit on pins and needles for a while, stand up, purse her lips, and the room was silent for a while.
"Although it is a side room, in the end it is also the prince's person, the prince has been so good to you before, even if this happens, his mind will not change."
"yes, it won't change." Gu Yuyin sat down on the stool, her right hand was weak to support her forehead, she and the prince had always been gentlemen's friends, knowing that the prince had no intention of her, why did she drag him into her own mud.
"Mother, do you know," Gu Yu pondered again and again, but still said truthfully:
"The prince is ruthless to me."
It took her full strength to say this, although she couldn't talk about love, but after all, she had a good impression of the prince, but after many years of getting along, she understood that "falling flowers are affectionate, and flowing water is unintentional." If she didn't care about others, in the face of marriage, she might be able to fight for the prince, but now in this situation, she must be unwilling.
"Silly boy, this will was asked for by the prince himself yesterday." When Gu's mother mentioned this, there was a smile between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Gu Yuyin's elopement attempt failed, and the pursuit of the family was a very secret thing, but for some reason it was stabbed out, and for a time it became the biggest laughing stock in Kyoto Elephant City, in the face of her husband's monstrous anger and the wanton ridicule of other ladies, Gu's mother was on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, the prince finally returned to Beijing, and when he heard about it, he hurriedly came to the prime minister's mansion to greet him, Gu Yuyin was still asleep at that time, and the prime minister was so angry that he couldn't meet the prince, so Gu's mother received herself, and the prince was still with a body of wind and dust, and when he saw Gu's mother, he only said three words:
"Madam, I'm here to ask for Miss Gu."
"You ......"
Thinking of the friendship between the two children for many years, he faced the prince speechlessly, but he didn't expect that the prince would take the initiative to say such things.
"That's it, that's it, this kid can't drag you down anymore."
Gu's mother refused when she opened her mouth, even though she knew that this was the best way to solve Gu Yuyin's predicament at present, but in the end, she didn't want to blacken her conscience and ignore the prince's future.
"Madame, rest assured."
The prince left only these words, then turned around again, and hurried away as he had come.
Gu's mother didn't expect that a day later, she received a holy decree to set up Gu Yuyin, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as the prince's concubine, and she would enter the mansion in a few days.
"He did it, he really did it......"
Holding the Ming Huang Holy Decree in her hand, Gu's mother cried with joy, but she didn't know that behind this holy decree,
It was seven hours when the prince was late and knelt outside the imperial study,
It is the exchange of the crown prince Chi Li with a sentence from the five states of Yongdi and the third prince Chi Cheng to curry favor with the saint,
It was the mother of the crown prince's late departure, and the queen personally apologized to the emperor in a low voice..... none of which would be known.
Hearing that it was the prince who asked for the decree in person, Gu Yuyin opened his mouth, but he never spoke again.
Gu's mother comforted:
"The prince has never married, you are the first, although it is a side room in front of you, but the prince treats you sincerely, and in the future, it is also a great opportunity to correct it."
Gu Yuyin had no intention of being entangled in this matter at the moment, and had mixed feelings in her heart, so she had to say lightly:
"I know Mother."
"You are the pride of your mother, you always have." Gu's mother didn't say much, she only said this, but she didn't know what kind of emotion the people outside the house heard it, and left, as if she had never come.
After Gu's mother left, Gu Yuyin was full of thoughts, prince, what is the purpose of this time?
Immersed in the official family, she knew that the prince must have gone through a lot of trouble for this holy decree even if it was a side concubine. In the eyes of others, Gu Yuyin is immoral, and he is not worthy of the prince, and the prince has just arrived in Beijing, knowing that this matter is still risking the holy spirit, and immediately asked for the holy decree, but he has a deep affection for Gu Yuyin, even if some people may have a lot of complaints about this, due to the royal shock, there must be a lot less gossip for a while, and more is just a positive praise for the infatuated prince.
Gu Yuyin firmly believes that the prince is not affectionate to her, otherwise why not when the emperor joked that he wanted to marry her to the prince a year ago, he resolutely knelt down and thanked him and refused, the emperor only regarded the prince as unintentional, but he never mentioned this matter, and the prince begged yesterday to make it clear whether he slapped the emperor in the face, or asked for her, who already seemed immoral in the eyes of outsiders, and had to make the emperor angry.
It's useless to think about it, Gu Yuyin just wants to see the prince at the moment and find out.
Half a month later, Gu Yuyin's body was finally well.
That day, Yuzi slashed it with a knife, and blew it in the heavy rain for half a night, and after coming back, he had a high fever that did not go away, and only woke up after three days, and his body gradually improved.
"Miss, I'm sorry."
Gu Yuyin was already able to walk on the ground, perhaps because of that holy decree, Gu Cheng did not punish him, only half a month did not come to Gu Yuyin's residence to visit Yue Xiaozhu, hearing Yuzi's apology, Gu Yuyin only shook his head slightly:
"You did nothing wrong."
Yuzi only ignored her when her young lady was angry with her, and her tone was a little eager:
"Yuzi knows it's wrong, I can't do that day, I can't do that day, I can't ...... it"
Gu Yuyin says:
"If I were replaced, I would be like that."
"You're for me, I understand."
With Gu Yuyin's sincere words, Yuzi put her mind at ease, and was about to open the food box she had just picked up, when she heard a voice from the door:
"Sister!"
"It's Miss Two." Yuzi was overjoyed, and sang the praises of the two sisters, the relationship between the two sisters has always been very good, at this time the second lady came, her young lady may have a better appetite, and she eats very little all day long, which is not conducive to raising her body.
"Song of words." Gu Yuyin was also very happy to see Yu Song, she had been busy in the past half a month, and Gu Yusong could only come to her twice, and left in a hurry every time she finished eating with her.
"Sister." Gu Yusong walked into the room and saw the exquisite food on the table.
"Just in time, I'm a little hungry."
"Okay, well, at my sister's place, eat more." Gu Yuyin looked at Gu Yusong's greedy look and couldn't help laughing.
"My mother always forbids me to eat more, and the grandmother in my room looks at me more tightly than anyone else." Gu Yusong pursed his mouth, and he was unhappy when he thought of it.
"Mother is also for your good, if you eat too much, how can you wear a beautiful wedding dress for your family?" Gu Yuyin smiled and scratched the bridge of Gu Yusong's nose.
"I don't want to get married, I want to accompany my sister for the rest of my life~" Gu Yusong rubbed intimately, and then his tone was disappointed,
"But my sister is getting married......"
Gu Yuyin was slightly stunned, this marriage came suddenly, which always made her have no sense of reality.
That is, he said:
"Even if my sister gets married, you can come to the prince's mansion often, and my sister will often go to see you."
"Hehe, I know that my sister treats me well." Gu Yusong's tone became cheerful again,
"My sister is married to the prince's brother, she is talented and beautiful, and she is a natural pair~"
"You girl," Gu Yuyin's ears were dyed with a few dividends, and she said with a bit of unassuming:
"When I grew up, I was still making fun of me."
"Oh yo, sister, I was wrong~"
Gu Yusong wittily begged for mercy, Gu Yuyin was not angry with her, picked up the chopsticks and said:
"Let's eat."
"Okay."
……
It seems that everything is the same as before, and I don't know what kind of bloody storm it will be in the near future.
