Chapter 31

"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." After Chai Qingyue entered, she first saluted Murong Sichen, and half-squatted and waited for Murong Sichen to call him up.

Murong Sichen walked to the desk, took the initiative to help Chai Qingyue, and said gently, "Get up." He took the initiative to take Chai Qingyue's hand and walked in front of Gu Ge Lao.

Gu Xingzhi hurriedly stood up and saluted Chai Qingyue: "The old minister Gu Xingzhi has seen the crown princess. ”

"Uncle Gu said something." Chai Qingyue went to help Gu Xingzhi, "How can I let Uncle Gu give me a junior salute?" This is absolutely unacceptable. ”

"Make it." Gu Xingzhi hurriedly excused himself, "Qingyue is now the crown princess, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister still has to be observed, how can there be no etiquette?" ”

Chai Qingyue saw Gu Xingzhi like this, and suddenly thought of the reaction of her parents who went home that day, it was like this, and it made people feel helpless. Suddenly feeling a little congested, Chai Qingyue began to be silent.

Murong Sichen noticed that Chai Qingyue's mood was a little low, but he didn't know why, so he had to let Chai Qingyue sit on the soft collapse opposite Gu Xingzhi, and he also sat down. Let He Ming come in and serve Chai Qingyue a cup of hot tea, and then bring Gu Xingzhi and his own tea that has become warmer to change, and instructed He Ming to add some charcoal fire, fresh fruits and refreshments, and then start chatting with Gu Xingzhi and Chai Qingyue.

"Qingyue, I didn't know that my father-in-law and Gu Ge were always forgetful friends." Murong Sichen's tone sounded like blame, but there was some coquettishness.

Such a Murong Sichen shocked Gu Xingzhi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always acted and spoken steadily, how could he look like a child who has not grown up in front of his little niece?

Gu Xingzhi coughed lightly twice before he spoke: "This is not the old minister's." ”

Murong Sichen naturally couldn't follow Gu Xingzhi's words, saying that Gu Xingzhi didn't do a good job in this matter, and he Gu Ge Lao and the teacher of Shangwen Private School in the capital called the number in private, and he didn't have the obligation to report to himself, the prince.

Murong Sichen took over with a smile: "Gu Ge Lao said that he was joking, this palace is joking with Qingyue. ”

Chai Qingyue also smiled shyly, still silent.

After thinking about it for a while, Murong Sichen still asked: "However, this palace is still very curious, how could Gu Ge Lao know and intersect with the father-in-law of this palace?" ”

It's no wonder that Murong Sichen is suspicious, mainly because Gu Xingzhi and Chai Qing don't look like two people who are connected, and Gu Xingzhi is already seventy years old this year, and Chai Qing is also in his early forties, with an age difference of nearly half a life, Chai Qing can be regarded as a son for Gu Xingzhi, how can he take over a confidant?

Murong Sichen really couldn't figure it out, and Chai Qingyue also called Gu Xingzhi "Uncle Gu", not "Grandpa Gu", which means that Chai Qing and Gu Xingzhi are equals.

That's really rare.

As if he saw the doubts in Murong Sichen's heart, Gu Xingzhi opened his mouth and explained: "Chai Young wanted to worship me as a teacher when he was young, but the old minister was more frivolous at that time, so he played Chai Qing, Chai Qing didn't want to apprentice anymore, and I didn't want to accept apprentices, so we became friends later." ”

Gu Xingzhi's explanation gave Murong Sichen a general understanding of the ins and outs of this friendship, and nodded clearly, but Chai Qingyue on the side laughed out loud.

"Why didn't Uncle Gu tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince how you embarrassed your father back then?" The corners of Chai Qingyue's mouth were always smiling, and she looked at Gu Xingzhi with a smile.

Murong Sichen was confused, unable to figure out his thoughts, and looked at Gu Xingzhi with a smile as Chai Qingyue looked.

Gu Xingzhi touched his beard very calmly, and laughed dryly: "It's all a mess of the past, what's the matter?" My little niece likes to look through my old accounts so much? ”

"How dare Qingyue?" Chai Qingyue also smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

However, Murong Sichen on the side was forced to be sandwiched between the two, feeling that he couldn't interject at all, so he had to look at the two with a smile to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing that Murong Sichen was sitting on the opposite side and was a little at a loss, Gu Xingzhi opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be quite interested in the past, so it is better to listen to the old minister speak slowly." ”

Murong Sichen, who was already very curious, smiled disguisedly, but said, "It's okay, it just so happens that we have discussed the matter of Chunqiu, so it's better to listen to some past events to relieve boredom." ”

So, Murong Sichen, Gu Xingzhi and Chai Qingyue chatted about their daily routines in Murong Sichen's study for an afternoon, but the whispers waiting outside were waiting in the side room and gritting their teeth.

Chai Qingyue let Chai Qingyue enter the study at the stage when Murong Sichen was talking about things with the important ministers of the court, and Chai Qingyue stayed in the study all afternoon.

After this matter spread in the Prince's Mansion, Chai Qingyue's status in the Prince's Mansion was established. After all, Murong Sichen had already acquiesced to Chai Qingyue's ability to see the foreign minister in his study, and he was not shy about it.

"Uncle Gu is really not old at all, he is still so suave." Chai Qingyue praised Gu Xingzhi.

Gu Xingzhi is seventy-three years old this year, and today he came to the Prince's Mansion to discuss things with Murong Sichen, he did not wear court clothes, but wore the black robe that Gu Xingzhi has always liked, his hair was coiled in a conical bun, fixed with a peach wood hairpin, and his beard was taken care of very smoothly, which was quite a feeling of fairy wind and bones.

The little niece laughed. Gu Xingzhi laughed naturally, and later reacted, this was in Murong Sichen's study, his beard was a little presumptuous, and he hurriedly put away his laughter, and after laughing dryly, he said: "Uncle Gu is old, and he only has a little spirit left, so what kind of graceful charm is there." ”

After listening to so many stories about the past, Murong Sichen was able to talk, and this time he also took the initiative to take over the topic: "Where, Gu Ge's demeanor is still the same." ”

Murong Sichen's admiration was sincere, Gu Xingzhi paid attention to the way of health preservation, and paid great attention to the maintenance of his body, and he didn't look like he was seventy or eighty, which was why Murong Yuan had always refused to let Gu Xingzhi return to his hometown.

Hearing the sincerity in Murong Sichen's words, Gu Xingzhi also smiled unceremoniously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised it falsely." ”

Although he was polite, Gu Xingzhi's attitude was obviously much more relaxed, and he unceremoniously ate the fruit on the table.

Being able to feel the change in Gu Xingzhi's attitude in one afternoon, Murong Sichen felt more and more that what the national teacher said could also be true, and Chai Qingyue might be the red luan star he was destined for.
