Chapter 6 Competing for Favor
Because of Gu Zhun's incident, Qiu Zheng ended early, and Gu Chengye hurriedly drove back to Chang'an.
Xiao Lingheng was summoned by His Majesty, so he entered the palace first, and Xiao Shuli took the opportunity to call Wangshu to discuss the matter of the faint ceremony. Because there was no rest on the way back to the city, Wangshu's head was dizzy, and he said "everything is arranged by my aunt" whenever something happened, Xiao Shuli noticed that she was absent-minded, but because she was in a good mood because of other things, she didn't blame her.
Xiao Lingheng came to the "Changqiu Palace" again after the end of the face, and Zhi Wangshu and Xiao Shuli chatted alone for a long time. Wangshu couldn't wait patiently, so he went to the garden first.
The osmanthus flowers in the garden have not yet withered, and the fragrant fragrance wakes up Wangshu's dizzy mind.
I saw that at the end of the yellow eye, there was a man in black clothes and black hair, not who Gu Huaijin was.
Gu Huaijin was not surprised to see Wangshu, but walked towards her, as if he was deliberately waiting for her. Wangshu turned around and left, a rush of footsteps passed, and Gu Huaijin stopped in front of her, "Why do you have to do this?" ”
Wang Shu glanced at him and sneered: "The courtiers are afraid that they are standing here and blocking His Highness from enjoying the flowers." ”
Gu Huaijin looked at her from head to toe and chuckled, "You are not plump, but you can't hinder me." ”
"You!" Wangshu was relieved and glared at him, really annoyed.
"That's it, I was wrong about that last time, I apologize." Seeing that she was about to leave again, Gu Huaijin softened her attitude, "I shouldn't doubt your intentions for Uncle Lu." ”
Wangshu stopped, but did not turn around, "Your Highness is so noble, how can you make a mistake?" ”
"Why are you sarcastic about me?" Gu Huaijin walked slowly to her side, "You should also understand the weight of Uncle Lu in my heart, and it may not be a bad thing for me to be vigilant." ”
"But you're wary of me?" Wangshu suppressed his anger, "I just want you to know that at least for my uncle, I have the same position as you. ”
"I understand, and I promise I won't doubt you on this point from now on."
Wangshu turned around at this time, but saw Gu Huaijin looking at her with a smile, and the ink-embedded eyes seemed to be a spring breeze, and he was in a trance.
Wangshu coughed lightly and took a few steps back, but crashed into the osmanthus tree on the side. A patch of gold rippled down from the treetops and fell on Wangshu's hair.
Gu Huaijin naturally stretched out her hand to help her take it, and didn't forget to count: "How can you be like a child, bumping into each other." ”
Wangshu felt that he was too close, and his face burned a few red clouds. She was about to push him away, but Qiu Xuan, who was beside her aunt, walked in.
"Girl, Lord Yushi is leaving the palace, and I sent a slave to find you."
Wangshu quickly ran to the side as if he had been stepped on, and stroked his slightly messy hair uncomfortably.
Qiu Xuan had already walked in, and was a little surprised to see her and Gu Huaijin together.
"Your Highness is also there?"
Wangshu explained embarrassedly: "I happened to meet His Royal Highness who is also here to enjoy the flowers." ”
Qiu Xuan restrained his expression and lowered his eyes slightly, "The servant understands, the servant won't talk nonsense." ”
Hearing her say this, Wangshu felt that he was in such a hurry to explain the meaning of some of the darker and darker descriptions, so he simply stopped speaking.
Xiao Lingheng and Wangshu returned home in the same carriage. Xiao Lingheng seemed to be in a good mood, and on the way, he didn't forget to tell Wang Shu to stay in the house these days, and Gu Huaiyu would come to give a dowry gift.
Lu Youqing waited at the door early in the morning waiting for her husband and daughter, and couldn't help but be curious when she saw her husband's face full of spring breeze, "What makes my lord so happy?" ”
Xiao Lingheng's expression changed, he looked at Lu Youqing and stopped, and paused for a while before saying, "Naturally, it's Wangshu's marriage." ”
Of course, Lu Youqing knew that it was more than that, she looked at Wangshu. Wangshu shook his head silently, there was no joy on his face, Lu Youqing understood in his heart, and his smile became a little reluctant.
After placing Xiao Lingheng, Lu Youqing came to find Wangshu.
She took Wangshu's hand, and her expression changed to the peace in front of Xiao Lingheng, "Are those I heard true?" Is your uncle in danger? ”
Wangshu knew that she was anxious, and hurriedly reassured, "Mother, don't worry, I have already asked Uncle He, and he said that Uncle is all right now, as long as the reinforcements go in time." ”
"But how could Your Majesty send your little uncle to transfer troops? It's not that he doesn't know about the grievances between the two of them. Lu Youqing's anxiety has not been alleviated.
"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and my daughter doesn't know it, but I have already reminded my little uncle that if he really wants to take the opportunity to show favoritism, he must be prepared to be punished by His Majesty, I don't think he dares to take such a risk."
Naturally, Wangshu was not 100% sure that Lu Younian would really take her advice.
Lu Youqing heard her say this, but she was still not at ease, she paced back and forth in the room, and the handkerchief in her hand was also twisted and deformed.
"No, no, no, there is a deep resentment between your uncle and your little uncle, and I'm afraid he may not listen to you. I can't watch them kill each other. ”
"What does Mother want to do? Could it be that she is looking for the eldest princess of Pingle? ”
Wangshu thought that Lu Youqing was going to find Gu Wanyan and ask her to persuade His Majesty to take back his fate.
Gu Wanyan, the eldest princess of Pingle, is the sister of His Majesty's mother, the two have grown up together since childhood, support each other, and have a very deep relationship, only she may change His Majesty's mind. But she is in an awkward situation, not only His Majesty's sister, but also Lu Zhengze's wife.
Although Gu Wanyan has a noble status, his health is not good, and he lingers on the sickbed all year round. At this time, if she learns that Lu Zhengze has an accident, I am afraid that she will be more worried, so Wangshu really doesn't want her mother to disturb her purity.
Lu Youqing stopped and sat down, she held Wangshu's hand, her gaze was very firm.
"I'm going to look for your little uncle, she naturally doesn't want your little uncle to take risks. Although your little uncle is a little arrogant, she can still listen to her words. ”
Wang Shu didn't have a deep impression of Su Jingxian, he only knew that she was a very generous and reasonable woman, and Lu was still very affectionate after marrying her for several years. Su Jingxian's father, Su Bingde, is not only the head of Jiuqing, but also a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and her words are naturally listened to when Lu is young.
Wang Shu agreed, "As long as my mother doesn't go to the eldest princess, everything is easy to say." ”
Within a few days, Gu Huaiyu really came to Xiao Mansion to give a dowry gift. Because there were too many dowry gifts, it took two hours for the palace people to report and check.
Xiao Sirou heard that Gu Huaiyu was coming, and hurriedly ran out, watching the palace people bring in the dowry that was out of sight, and piled it up from the courtyard to the main hall. Thinking of the thousands of precious treasures under the chest, I couldn't help but feel jealous in my eyebrows.
At that time, Wangshu was resting on the couch.
The autumn sun is not thick or light, it is very gentle, and it falls on Wangshu's body through the carved window, which is just warm, because she is afraid of dazzling, she covers her face with a fan.
"Girl, girl, you can wake up quickly, the third highness is here to send a dowry gift."
Hearing Zero Lu's startled voice, she opened her eyes in a daze.
"It's coming, it's coming, what's the panic."
The fan fell, and Ling Lu saw that her cheeks were red from the sun, and instead of the coldness of the past, she added some love.
Linglu covered her lips and smiled, and hurriedly dipped a handkerchief in some water to wake her up.
After waking up, Wangshu followed the movement and walked all the way to the front yard, she glanced at the boxes piled up, but there was no joy on her face.
She asked the little guy beside Gu Huaiyu, "What about the Third Highness?" ”
"Miss Sirou just sprained her foot, and His Highness helped her back." The little maid observed Wangshu's face, as if he was afraid that she would be unpleasant, so he answered carefully.
Wangshu didn't get angry, but said to Ling Lu: "Since the person is not here, let's go back first." ”
Linglu didn't follow, "Girl, can't you see Miss Sirou's intentions?" If you don't twist it sooner or later, you twist your feet when His Royal Highness gives you a dowry gift, I think it is clearly an ulterior motive. ”
"What's more, Your Highness is your future husband, are you just letting it go?" Zero Lu's tone was aggressive, and she seemed to be even more angry than she was still the main master.
Seeing that Wangshu hesitated, Ling Lu took out the Geng post from his arms again, "The master asked you to personally hand over the Geng post to the Third Highness." ”
Wangshu saw that he couldn't hide, so he finally nodded.
At that time, Gu Huaiyu had just helped Xiao Sirou to the couch.
Xiao Sirou covered her swollen ankles and said pitifully, "Cousin, can you please help me bring the ointment?" Right next to the windowsill. ”
Gu Huaiyu didn't think much about it, took the ointment and handed it to her.
Xiao Sirou opened the medicine bottle, leaned down suddenly, and suddenly screamed "ah".
Gu Huaiyu was taken aback, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Sirou gasped in pain, "My waist is twisted ......"
Gu Huaiyu couldn't stand it anymore, "I'll come." ”
He dipped his hand in some ointment and gently rubbed it on Xiao Sirou's ankle.
Xiao Sirou looked at his handsome side face, her heart moved slightly, and slowly leaned towards him.
Gu Huaiyu saw that it was evenly wiped out, and was just about to get up, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Sirou and him face to face, close to him, and the woman's slightly chaotic breath almost touched his face.
He swallowed, a little overwhelmed.
Wangshu stood outside the door, quietly looking at the two people who were intimate, but the latter was still unaware.
Ling Lu coughed vigorously, Gu Huaiyu was so shocked that he sat on the ground, and when he saw that it was Wangshu, he explained in a panic: "It's Cousin Sirou who sprained her foot, and sprained her waist when she took the medicine, so I will help her with the medicine." ”
Look, this flawed excuse is not something he can believe.
Wangshu couldn't help but think of himself and Gu Huaijin in the osmanthus forest, maybe they were so close in the eyes of others, but their own explanations were as clumsy as Gu Huaiyu's.
Wangshu didn't say anything, just took the Geng post from Ling Lu's hand, "Father asked me to hand over the Geng post to you." ”
Gu Huaiyu was relieved to see that she didn't mind, he stood up and took out the Geng sticker from his arms, "Coincidentally, I'm about to give it to you too." ”
Wangshu took his Geng post in his hand and suddenly glanced at Xiao Sirou.
She acted quite realistically, and she still maintained a posture of twisting her waist and leaning over.
Wangshu smiled: "I happen to know a doctor who is very good at treating back injuries, so I'll ask him to come and show my sister in a while." ”
Xiao Sirou was naturally unwilling, but she didn't dare to refuse too deliberately, "Don't bother my sister, our doctor in the Xiao Mansion is enough." ”
Wangshu was no longer forced, but glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and then left.
