Chapter 303: The road is narrow

Zhedu Wenhao is very busy. Running inside and outside the palace, it was easy to get busy with Si Ying'er's strength and worry about the emperor's body, so he drove into the palace overnight

After Liu Guifei's fake pregnancy, Du Wenhao learned from it. The reason is that it is better for women to participate less in the affairs of women. It is said that a woman's heart is a needle, before this, Du Wenhao always thought that Yu Ge'er was still a woman who was not dyed with harem habits, but he is actually like this. The woman was able to make Gonggong Ning fall in love at a glance, and she could soon make the three harem masters like her in the harem, which really can't be underestimated. Maybe she has been pretending to be a woman who has no heart and no quarrel with the world in front of everyone, in fact. Probably she is better than anyone else, but not necessarily.

Yu Ge'er probably also knew that Du Wenhao was deliberately avoiding himself, two months had passed, and he never bothered, even if there was anything good to give to Lin Qingdai, he would let the eunuchs or stewards in the palace send them directly to Wuweitang.

Du Wenhao heard the emperor's father-in-law Ning say that a few days ago, Yu Ge'er went out of the palace to follow the Empress Dowager to incense, accidentally drenched in the rain, and when he got cold, he also found other doctors to see, and the emperor was really distressed when he saw that he was losing weight, and he asked Du Wenhao to come over to take a look, and whoever wanted Yu Ge'er politely declined.

Du Wenhao thought that it would be best not to look for me for the rest of his life, who knew that it was only two days after thinking about it, and Du Wenhao met Yu Ge'er again.

The words have to start with a concubine named Zhao Jieshu, the emperor's new favorite.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, it happened to be Zhao Jieshu's seventeenth birthday, and it may be the emperor's new favorite, so it was a little ostentatious, as early as a month ago, he was already preparing to give birth with great fanfare, it stands to reason that there is the empress dowager, where the empress dowager and the empress are sitting in the palace, and the concubines in the palace are generally not born, but the emperor thought that he left his hometown before he shrugged his homesickness, and the pear blossoms brought rain to the emperor all day long, so he gave the three women a breath, and allowed her to spend this birthday, and other concubines did not have such grace, This Zhao Jieshu naturally did not miss this opportunity, which may be once in a lifetime, and invited almost all the officials above the third grade in Beijing in the DPRK and China, and Du Wenhao was also there.

On this day, there was a nice weather. The wind and the sun are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, Zhao Jieshu's bedroom is full of joy, the red lanterns are hung from the gate to the backyard, the stone lion at the door is tied with red satin flowers around the neck, and the eaves and houses have not fallen, and the realm has become a sea of red.

When Du Wenhao arrived, he thought that it would be crowded, after all, these invited people should come without looking at the face of the monk but also at the face of the Buddha. There weren't many people who wanted to come, and a dozen or so people were scattered in the pavilion corridor and a few side halls talking.

"Master Du has arrived! A guest shouted at the door.

Du Wenhao put down the gift at the sign-in place at the door and just entered the door, when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling him, so he stopped and looked back.

I saw a person wearing a hollow light blue light silk mandarin duck brocade crescent skirt, a purple butterfly flower Luo skirt, and a pair of bright pink embroidered shoes on his small feet. The woman with her flying moon bun and a peacock hairpin with her head swaying came forward with a smile: "Lord Du, you came quite early." ”

Du Wenhao saw that it was Yu Ge'er, followed by two little eunuchs and Xiao Qi holding gift boxes, so he squeezed out a smile and bowed: "Niangniang is also very early."

The two men entered the gate side by side. A eunuch came from inside, and stepped forward with a smile on his face to salute the two and said, "Please Yu Niangniang and Master Du go to the room for tea, and my mother-in-law will be there soon."

"Don't bother, father-in-law, I walked around with Master Du, I heard that Zhao Niangniang's garden here is very well maintained, I don't know if I can go in and take a look?" Yu Ge'er looked around as she spoke. didn't look at the father-in-law in front of him.

"Of course, you can take two of them with a minion.

Yu Ge'er waved her hand and said: "No need to be busy with you today, we will go by ourselves, as long as you don't worry that we will accidentally trample on the strange flowers and plants in your mother's garden, what do you say, Lord Du?"

Du Wenhao refused Yu Ge'er's hospitality in front of people, so he had to nod and smile.

Seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly called a palace maid: "Those two please, wait for dinner in the Ruotong Hall in the east, please don't miss it, the emperor is also coming."

Yu Ge'er smiled indifferently, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"I heard that a few days ago, Niangniang's phoenix body was not safe, I don't know if it's good? After the eunuch left, Du Wenhao and Yu Ge'er, under the leadership of the palace maid, walked towards the garden while greeting the officials who had already come.

"I'm probably not used to the climate in the north, where is the hot and cold realm as comfortable as the weather in the south of our Yangtze River, and it's hot and humid. So it was inevitable that there would be some headaches and brain fever, but it was not a big problem, and I took medicine for a few days. It's no big deal. Yu Ge'er spoke. I pinched a yellow flower from the side of the road and took it to my nose and smelled it.

"Niangniang, I'm sorry for this kind of flower, my mother doesn't allow it," the palace maid who came out of the side whispered timidly.

Yu Ge'er listened, glanced at the palace maid, saw that Yu Ge'er's eyes were sharp, and she didn't dare to say a word, so she deliberately slowed down her pace and opened a little distance from Du Wenhao and Yu Ge'er.

"That's good, Niangniang still has to take care of her body. Du Wenhao saw Yu Ge'er tearing off the petals in his hand one by one. Then put it in the palm of your hand and knead it into pieces, and then spill it on the ground.

When she came to a three-way intersection, the palace maid came forward and bowed down and said, "Niangniang, the left corner is the back garden."

Yu Ge'er waved her hand impatiently to the palace maid, and the palace maid retreated in amusement.

Du Wenhao wanted to leave. Seeing that the palace maid retreated and was about to speak, she heard Yu Ge'er sigh and looked up at Du Wenhao, Du Wenhao was now Yu Ge'er's kung fu in the blink of an eye, her eyes were soaked with tears, and her expression was also angry.

"I know you're scared of me now, last time Liu Guifei's incident dragged down Brother Du, but fortunately, there was no danger, but,,

Du Wenhao didn't wait for Yu Ge'er to finish. hurriedly said: "Niangniang doesn't have to blame herself, it's Weichen's fault, how can I blame you?"

Yu Ge'er's eyes sparkled. Two tears fell from their eyes and cheeks, looking pitiful.

Du Wenhao didn't know what to say for a while. Then he burst out laughing, Yu Ge'er was stunned, and said, "Brother Du, what are you laughing at?" ”

Du Wenhao motioned for the two to continue walking, because someone came from another road. Yu Ge'er had no choice but to secretly turn sideways, take out a champa to wipe away her tears, and then follow Du Wenhao forward.

"Brother Du, you haven't told me what you were laughing at me just now, is it my makeup

Du Wenhao smiled and shook his head: "No, I saw my mother's sad appearance and suddenly remembered a poem."

Yu Ge'er is also a person who likes to read, so she naturally forgot to cry when she was interested, and asked eagerly, "Is it?" Which poem was it and who wrote it?

Du Wenhao saw that Yu Ge'er was interested, so he shook his head and read: "Last year, a little lovesick tears still can't flow to the cheeks. You must have heard this poem?

Who wants Yu Ge'er's little face to be red, his hand raised, his two fingers twisted the champa to his mouth, his eyes were fat, Du Wenhao lowered his eyebrows, and whispered: "Whose poem is this, why haven't I heard it, could it be that Brother Du laughed at me, so I casually fabricated two lines of poetry and used them to laugh at me, right?" ”

Du Wenhao sighed. Said: "This is Su Dongpo, Su Shi's sister Su Xiaomei said that his brother's Weichen thought that Niangniang had heard it."

Yu Ge'er listened to Du Wenhao's explanation and knew that there was really such a paragraph, so she smiled lightly: "It's all because I'm lonely and unheard, so I want to hear what the original meaning of this poem is?"

Du Wenhao glanced at Yu Ge'er carefully, and Yu Ge'er couldn't help but laugh when he saw Du Wenhao's appearance: "Look at you, I shouldn't eat you, I also thought that you said that this poem must have a story to tell me, okay." I'm not angry.

Du Wenhao said: "Su Dongpo often mocks each other with his little sister. Dongpo is a bearded little sister mocking the clouds: if you want to knock your teeth, there is nowhere to find your teeth, and suddenly you hear a sound in the hair. The little sister's forehead is bulging, Dongpo replied, mocking the cloud: Before appearing in court, the forehead went to the front of the painting hall first, and the little sister laughed at Dongpo's annoying long cloud: A little lovesick tears last year, so far they can't flow on the cheeks. Dongpo replied to the cloud because of the little sister's eyes slightly: It is difficult to wipe her face several times, but she has two springs.

"Giggles. I should have gained a lot of knowledge, go back and tell the emperor to listen, and make him happy, but my annoyance is not long, why does Brother Du laugh at me? ,

"Actually, it's not a laughing mother, where does Weichen dare to laugh at a mother? I just don't want you to be unhappy, so I just want to make you laugh.

"I think Brother Du just wants to say that I have a long face, but I don't admit it. it

Du Wenhao knew that Yu Ge'er didn't really care, so he said: "If you have a long face, then the eunuch at the door of your palace is afraid that this lovesick tear will not flow until ten years later."

Yu Ge'er smiled happily. People walked to a place made of pink roses, and today the fragrance of the long corridor came to the face.

"I thought Brother Du would never make me happy again. Yu Ge'er pretended to say a sentence casually, but her tone was full of gratitude.

"How dare Wechen,"

Yu Ge'er suddenly stopped, stood under a flower branch that just fell on his shoulder, glanced at Du Wenhao meaningfully and said: "Don't be in front of me, I am a micro-minister, you want to leave on the day you are my brother, and you don't want to listen to me talk about those towering pasts, I know that you don't want to get too close to me, and then I thought, why can you be commensurate with Zhu Defei's sister and brother, but not with me?" ,

Du Wenhao was speechless. Because he himself can't seem to say why.

Yu Ge'er continued: "Originally, I also wanted to follow your wishes and never bother you again, but when I saw you outside the gate today, for some reason, I still want you to know that I am not to anyone like Liu Guifei."

"Niangniang is too careful, Weichen doesn't mean anything, but recently you also know that things in and out of the palace are too much, and Weichen has no time to take care of it, and I hope that Niangniang is sympathetic" Du Wenhao didn't want to listen, and at this time he only hoped that someone would come and ask them to go out to eat, instead of listening to Yu Ge'er here say that he didn't want to have such a sister in her family, I don't know why sometimes men don't like a person and like a person for no reason.

"You know what? What is the only thing a person wants to do when they lose the person they love the most? Yu Ge'er probably didn't want to see Du Wenhao's officialdom face. So he turned his head and said.

Du Wenhao was stunned. Don't you love the emperor very much? Could it be that you have a different heart. You're not going to like me, right?

Du Wenhao thought. "I haven't felt like this yet. I really don't know. it

"How would you feel if your sister was still standing at the door when you left in the morning, saying that she would wait for you to see the lanterns at night? ,

Du Wenhao chuckled in his heart, and said without thinking about it: "Her kung fu is so good, she won't have an accident, and if something happens, I will have an accident."

Yu Ge'er smiled, the corners of her mouth turned up, her teeth slightly exposed, and she looked innocent as if she had returned to the time when she first knew her.

"I knew you Yu Ke wanted it to be you and didn't want it to be her, right? ,

"That's natural." Du Wenhao said affirmatively.

Yu Ge'er's expression dimmed for a moment, and she simply sat on the wooden chair under the corridor, with sadness in her eyes.

"I remember telling you that I had an older brother about your age, and we grew up together, and he was very nice to me. it

Childhood? Then why don't you get married before entering the palace, it shouldn't be your own brother, because Du Wenhao saw something about love in Yu Ge'er's eyes. It seems that he is self-inflicted! However, Du Wenhao had not listened to Yu Ge'er talk about his own affairs before, so he had to agree.

"He is my aunt's son. gas

Du Wenhao was stunned, his eyes were wide, isn't it, isn't your aunt the prince's concubine? Isn't your brother also a relative of the imperial family?

"You should love each other very much. Du Wenhao said softly

Yu Ge'er raised her head and motioned for Du Wenhao to sit opposite, then smiled and said, "You are finally willing to listen to me seriously."

Du Wenhao sat down and smiled embarrassedly, but thought to himself. Since you have the heart to tell me, then I can't avoid this sooner or later, it's better to listen to it before eating, and when you eat, as soon as the food enters the stomach, everything will be forgotten, and you will also release your mood and my ears, which is good for everyone.

"Mother, you say. Wechen listened. Du Wenhao found a comfortable position to sit and lean on a pillar made of bamboo and rattan used to wrap the branches of roses, worried that he would fall asleep, so he almost turned his back to Yu Ge'er, so that even if he accidentally took a nap, he would not be seen by Yu Ge'er.

"After my aunt died. My father was worried that the woman who killed my mother in the prince's family bullied my eldest brother, so he asked the prince to discuss bringing the eldest brother back to Jiangnan, and the gratifying thing is that the woman because of the death of my aunt, the matter was revealed, and she was thrown out of the house.

Du Wenhao nodded, even if he listened, he was still awake at this time, and he felt very comfortable with the wind blowing on his cheeks.

"Since then. My eldest brother and I have been together every day, and our lives are very good until I have a knowledge, Brother Du. Are you listening to me?.

Du Wenhao turned his head and gave Yu Ge'er a smile that was not worth his life. Yu Ge'er then continued: "The eldest brother is gone. it

Du Wenhao listened carefully for a while, and suddenly heard Yu Ge'er say that the eldest brother was gone, so he sat up straight and looked back at Yu Ge'er, only to see tears in the corners of Yu Ge'er's eyes.

"Yes, the eldest brother is gone.

"How could it be gone? Such a person is not the same as a child, it should be Jie. Adult, huh?

"Yes. On the second day of February last year, my eldest brother took me and my second, third, and fourth brothers to fly kites in the suburbs. By the time we are here, Big Brother will be gone.

Du Wenhao listened. felt that the ** of the story had arrived, and hurriedly faced Yu Ge'er and said, "What about later?."

Yu Ge'er's eyes closed, and tears fell from her long, dark eyelashes.

"We looked for it. I even reported to the official, and a month later we finally found the eldest brother.

Du Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, could it be that some gangster has been kidnapped and wants to take the opportunity to extort money from your family?"

Yu Ge'er choked up with tears in her laughter: "If they are really for money." I think my dad would give it to them even if he was bankrupt. As long as they give us a living big brother.

Du Wenhao's heart came up again and said, "What?

Yu Ge'er nodded, and gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with a champa. Said: "When we found the eldest brother, we also found a letter at the same time, saying that we knew that the eldest brother was the son of the prince, so if it wasn't for him, the prince would not have killed his relatives and divorced a woman named Wu Qing, and they wanted to avenge this woman named Wu Qing, so the eldest brother would not have come back."

Du Wenhao saw that Yu Ge'er's expression changed from sadness to hatred, and his teeth bit his lower lip tightly. It felt like blood was going to be bitten out.

"They sent back your eldest brother's body? , Du Wenhao didn't sleep at all at this time, he didn't expect Yu Ge'er to have such a story.

"Hmph, where did they have such kindness, we showed the eldest brother in front of my aunt's grave, and the eldest brother's body was already "already stinking, and we found the letter in a package next to him

"That's not right. Since it was an assassination, they naturally didn't want you to know who the murderer was, so why did they put a letter next to it so blatantly? Du Wenhao was puzzled.

"At that time, the government also thought so, and later my father found out that the woman who was divorced by the prince was indeed called Wu Qing. And after marrying in Jiangxi, we learned that the person Wu Jing married was none other than the governor of Jiangxi.

"You mean, they're a little bit emboldened and don't worry about them going back for revenge? ,

"Later, my father spent money to find someone to investigate the matter, and only then did he know that it was the woman named Wu Jing who found someone to do it on the rivers and lakes."

The more Du Wenhao listened, the more he felt like the revenge stories in Hong Kong TV dramas in the past, and said: "Didn't the government go to them?"

Yu Ge'er sneered and said: "The government also found someone to check, and it turned out that it was really Wu Qing, that woman later persuaded my father to rest the matter, and Ning Ren said that my eldest brother is not my father's biological son, since the prince doesn't want it." The eldest brother's mother is also dead, and we can't afford to provoke this governor, I heard that this governor has an elder brother who is a big official in the capital.

"Then did you know who this official was when you entered Beijing later? it

Yu Ge'er sighed, and smiled bitterly at Du Wenhao: "If I say it, you will really be my Yu Ge'er's brother in the future, we are just leeches on a rope, are you willing or not."

Du Wenhao didn't answer her directly, but asked, "I just want to ask if you are the same person as Yu Ge'er in Dongming County now?" You didn't enter the palace to really serve the emperor, but to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, right?

Yu Ge'er nodded affirmatively and said, "I am me, I will not pretend in front of you, I believe that you and Sister Qingdai still believe in Father-in-law Ning." it

"Ahh And carry Ningzi! Du Wenhao is completely dizzy.

"No, he doesn't know these things, he is a person close to the emperor, I won't take this risk, I know this very well.

Du Wenhao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Don't you think that you are weak and lonely?"

"Heh, in fact, my heart will die on the day I see my eldest brother die, if it weren't for the revenge of my eldest brother. I also crashed to death on my aunt's grave that day, why should I grovel and laugh in front of the enemy all day long? ”

"That's right. You said that your enemy is a big official, what a big official is it?

Yu Ge'er smiled slyly and said, "Liu Xu, the head of the household."

"Ahh No way?. Du Wenhao's feelings have been there all day, this story is too shocking, why did this little girl next to her actually enter the palace to seek revenge, it's too dramatic!

Yu Ge'er snickered: "Ha Jing, you asked me to tell you who this person is, it's over, you got on my Yu Pigeon's thief ship."

Du Wenhao walked to Yu Ge'er's side solemnly and said in a low voice: "You yourself know that the power of the Liu family even the emperor wants to give him three points, how can you?"

Yu Ge'er snorted and sneered: "He actually doesn't know who I am. That is to say, I am in the dark, and he is in the light. Besides, his niece is also in the palace now, and I don't have to directly annoy him to clean up his niece and leave.

Du Wenhao suddenly realized, pointed at Yu Ge'er and widened his eyes, Yu Ge'er smiled proudly, put his hands on his chest and stood up, walked to Du Wenhao's side, and shouted affectionately: "Brother." it

"Don't scream. You want to kill me, I'm a family and a house, don't call me that, I can promise not to say it, but don't pull me into the water, I won't be fooled" Saying that, Du Wenhao turned around to leave.

"You know. The most untrustworthy thing is the tongue, because the ears and eyes are always only listeners and observers. And only the tongue can tell others what they see and hear, and I don't trust anyone's assurances unless he is my own!
