Chapter 302: King Gao of Chaotianzi Returns to Yecheng (2)
Ah Jiao looked at Gao Cheng as she spoke, and she thought to herself, staying by the side of the prince, even if it is a concubine, it is better than being abandoned. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info of course can marry Gao Men as Yuan Zhonghua, but for Yuan Zhonghua, staying by Gao Cheng's side may be what she wants most.
That's what it meant. Gao Cheng's heart was beating wildly, and all the blood poured onto his face. He subconsciously tugged at his collar. Yuan Zhonghua couldn't say these words to him at all, not to mention that she was very careful, and he and her were not very close, and she had never said such things to him.
After listening to Ah Jiao's words, Gao Cheng himself felt a little unbelievable. Will Yuan Zhonghua be willing to stay by his side as a concubine? Would she be willing to change her son from a concubine? Her son is also the emperor's nephew, but he is a concubine in the General's Mansion, even if Yuan Zhonghua has no opinion, can others be willing? Emperor Yuan Shanjian, and the Yuan clan will be willing?
It's still A's simple thinking.
Gao Cheng was clear. If Yuan Zhonghua is abolished, he can only leave his son to his mother. The child was left in the General's Mansion and handed over to his future mother-in-law to raise, and Yuan Zhonghua's identity would never allow her to be a concubine. can only be remarried as the eldest princess. What he wants to keep is not a simple concubine, what he wants to keep is the two of them. Could it be that when he misses her in the future, he will have to go behind her back to have an affair with her? Do you want to watch her as someone else's wife and someone else's husband in the future? No matter who this person is, as long as it is not him, he will find it difficult to tolerate.
And the hard-won child between them, the three of them are separated?
But no matter what, Ah Jiao's words encouraged him in his heart and strengthened his mind.
Ah Jiao saw that Lord Lang didn't say a word, turned around and walked slowly towards the princess's house.
Taiyuan Mansion, in fact, quiet is sometimes not really quiet. Silence is different for everyone. For moonlight, the silence at the moment is not quiet, it is a kind of coldness.
Gao Yang has long since left. She lay alone on the couch motionless. The tears in the corners of his eyes have long since dried. Thinking about what Gao Cheng said to her today over and over again, he said that it was because he saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and he must be worried, so he wanted to joke with her, but he wanted to make her happy.
But he wasn't her husband after all. He could also easily turn away. It's because he doesn't care about her in his heart. Moonlight figured it out, and her heart was already like ashes.
She can't say that her husband is bad. She also remembered how many times she was teased by Gao Cheng, and when she was most helpless, Gao Yang arrived in time. He would whisper in her ear to tell her he was there for her. She won't forget. She also always remembered that she was his wife.
There were a few times when Gao Yang was with her, as if he was going crazy, he was not stupid in front of people at all, it was like two people. And this kind of madness seems to be related to the princess Yuan Zhonghua several times, and the moonlight is sensitive to discover. However, why did her husband suggest that she go and tell Yuan Zhonghua that her brother Gao Cheng wanted to abolish her? This is obviously not for the good of Yuan Zhonghua, although there is some truth.
Gao Yang's office double hall is completely incomparable with the Dongbai Hall of his brother General Gao Cheng. The double hall is in the east of Yecheng, the shape is not large, and it does not look very eye-catching.
The night was quiet, and only Changxinxuan, where Gao Yang often handled official business, was still lit in the double hall. The lights are not too bright, and the small bucket room can't be compared with the Minghe Hall in Dongbai Hall. At this time, several people in Changxinxuan, in addition to Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang, there were also Shi Yangsu, the governor of Taiyuan Public, Gao Yue, and Gao Guiyan, the hussar general.
Blood relatives and in-laws are connected, and none of the four of them are outsiders. Gao Yang is the second son of Gao Huan, the king of Bohai and the prime minister, and the younger brother of the general Gao Cheng. Yang Su is Gao Huan's son-in-law. Gao Yue and Gao Guiyan are Gao Huan's brothers and nephews. Gao Guiyan was raised by Gao Yue when he was young. Speaking of which, Gao Yue and Gao Guiyan are still Gao Cheng and Gao Yang's uncles and cousins. It's just that Gao Yang still respects them and is willing to treat them politely, Gao Cheng is completely disdainful of these two so-called "clan uncles" and "cousins", which are no different from treating domestic slaves.
As early as when he was in Luoyang, when Gao Cheng was not a general who led the government, he was not pleasing to the eye because Gao Yang respected Gao Yue and Gao Guiyan, and he once ordered someone to scold Gao Guiyan. Even if Gao Cheng is different from the past, he has become the chief executive of the auxiliary government, and Gao Yue and Gao Guiyan have also been promoted to high positions, but Gao Cheng is not a heavy use for them, and of course they are not Gao Cheng's henchmen.
Gao Guiyan naturally will not forget the hatred of being punished with a cane.
I have been sitting in Changxinxuan for a long time, and Gao Yang doesn't speak much. He already has a strange personality, but Yang Su feels that he is not as good at guessing as Gao Cheng's mind.
Gao Yue and Gao Guiyan are actually not people that Yang Su can look up to, so he feels that there is nothing to discuss with them.
"Taiyuan Gong, what the general said about the household is an important matter, but it is not an urgent matter. I am not in a hurry to see the results, but I should take my time, as long as the general sees that the public is dedicated to this, and the results are little by little so that the general can see the best. Not only the generals, but even the high kings must be clear. There is no need to hide such a good thing. "Yang Su is talking about the general Gao Cheng who confessed to Gao Yang a few days ago about the search for the household registration. This thing needs to be done in practice, in detail, and in the long run, and the results will gradually become apparent over time, which is the best.
Gao Yang had no objection to this, so he didn't speak.
"Is there any news from Changshi?" Gao Yang was concerned about another thing. "The queen said that she had sent a letter to her father, does your father know the news?" What he said was what Queen Gao Yuanjun told him, and the eldest brother Gao Cheng asked the Son of Heaven Yuanshan to see the abolition of the queen.
Gao Yue and Gao Guiyan were very interested in this matter, and they both looked at Yang Su with wide eyes.
"Nature knows. It is a matter of the queen's personal involvement, and no one in Yecheng can control the general, so of course the queen has to go to Jinyang to move the rescue troops. Yang Su replied with great confidence, "If Zunyan does not expect, King Gao will arrive in Yecheng in the next two days." ”
"The general is so intellectually confused, how can King Gao tolerate him?" Gao Yue is mean, he doesn't have a good impression of Gao Cheng, and he can't wait for Gao Huan to come back to punish Gao Cheng, and it is best to abolish his position as the son of the world.
Gao Guiyan glanced at Gao Yue and said mockingly, "It turns out that King Gao listened to his uncle?" He turned to Gao Yang, "Gong Ke can sit on the wall and watch, it would be a good thing if the general could really force the lord to abolish the queen before King Gao returned." "What he means is very clear, only when there is a mess can there be a chance to be severely punished.
Yang Su really didn't look down on these two people in his heart, and he was impatient to listen to their nonsense.
"What does Changshi think?" Gao Yang also turned a deaf ear and only asked Yang Su.
"Before King Gao comes back, it is really not appropriate for the prince to show up, it is better to leave this matter alone." Yang Su looked at Gao Yang meaningfully, "Princess Feng Yi's affairs are also the family affairs of the prince, whether it is now or in the future, the Duke of Taiyuan should not take care of it." He deliberately reminded Gao Yang that Gao Yang's thoughts about Yuan Zhonghua were not hidden from him. It's just that Gao Yue and Gao Guiyan are here, and Yang Yu is inconvenient to say it directly.
Gao Yang still didn't speak, but obviously listened.
"Even if King Gao is back, if the prince persuades the general, he must also say from the topic of the Zhongxing of the Great Wei Sheji, Chen uses the stakes to let King Gao know that the Duke of Taiyuan is dedicated to the community, for the Gao family, for the brother, not for himself." Yang Su persuaded again. He knew in his heart that Gao Yang was not the same person as Gao Cheng, and he didn't have to worry about Gao Yang going into a coma for Yuan Zhonghua.
In the long night of Yecheng, the sleepless people are not only the moonlight of the Taiyuan Mansion and the Gao Yang in the Shuangtang. The most sleepless and worried is the queen Gao Yuanjun in the palace.
It has been many days since he sent a letter to Jinyang, and Gao Yuanjun counted the days and hoped that his father would soon arrive in Yecheng. Although his brother Gao Cheng did not urge Emperor Yuan Shanjian in the past few days, Gao Yuanjun obviously felt the tense atmosphere in the Wei Palace. She is sensitive to the fact that even her husband Jun Yuan is always absent-minded.
The queen's confidant, Xiaohu, saw that the queen got up while the lord was asleep again, and she quietly followed. These days, this is a common occurrence.
"Why is Your Highness up again?" Xiaohu slipped outside the hall and found Gao Yuanjun standing in the courtyard. She knew that the queen was waiting for news from King Gao, so she casually persuaded, "Your Highness, don't worry, maybe the king will come back tomorrow." ”
Xiaohu originally wanted to reassure Gao Yuanjun and said it casually.
Gao Yuanjun turned around and looked at Xiaohu as if he had been encouraged, and asked, "Really?" ”
In fact, neither of them knew that Yuan Shanjian on the bed in the Jiaofang Hall was also awake.
Yuan Shanjian's true mind is the opposite of Gao Yuanjun. He hoped that Gao Huan would not return to Yecheng, or come back later. I hope that Gao Cheng will come again to urge him to abolish the queen. These days, he has to worry in front of Gao Yuanjun, and his heart is completely different, so that he also can't sleep at night. But he is not like Gao Yuanjun who can completely reveal his thoughts.
In the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, the residence of the princess Yuan Zhonghua, Gao Cheng slowly walked to the door step by step. Ascending the stone steps under the eaves, he stopped the slaves and maids who were about to open the door for him, and waved his hand to signal the slaves and maids to retreat.
Gently push the door open with your own hand and walk in slowly. The sound of chattering came from inside the room. Princess Feng Yi, Yuan Zhonghua, had not yet fallen asleep, and was sitting on the big bed inside, holding a baby swaddling cloth in her hand. In front of Yuan Zhonghua, there was a slave kneeling next to the big bed, who was also helping her check the baby clothes placed on the big bed.
Yuan Zhonghua was full of smiles, and he didn't know what he was whispering to the slave. Gao Cheng was immediately attracted by her smile at the first sight of her. He had never seen her smile so heartily, the smile was warm, and that warm calm instantly infected him. There was a sense of stability in Yuan Zhonghua's smile, which could soothe the worries in his heart and give him invisible encouragement. For the first time, the power in her heart could also be passed on to him.
Hearing the voice, Yuan Zhonghua raised his head, and the slave who was kneeling on the ground also turned sideways.
"Hasn't Your Highness slept yet?" Gao Cheng walked over with a smile, his eyes looking at the baby clothes on the big bed.
The slave and maid silently saluted, and was about to put away the clothes and then retreat. Gao Cheng walked over and sat down on the big bed, picking up one casually. He had never looked at these things carefully before, and he was particularly curious. The baby's clothes were ridiculously small, some as big as the palm of his hand, but each one was soft and smooth.
Gao Cheng's attention was completely attracted. He seemed to be able to see a newborn boy at this moment, wearing these clothes, lying on this big bed crying, his limbs moving around, and the scene was vivid in front of him. That's his son, he's the father of this little man. He had never felt so real before, as if he was a father for the first time.
At the time of reverie, Gao Cheng's heart suddenly felt a little astringent. This Xiaolang's mother is Yuan Zhonghua, he raised his head, and Yuan Zhonghua was also looking at him with a smile. I haven't seen her for a few days, and I always feel that she is different from before. I especially like to see her smile now, which makes him feel a little dependent.
The slave didn't know when she had withdrawn.
Gao Cheng sat over, and at a glance, he could see that Yuan Zhonghua's belly was much bigger. He reached out and stroked it gently, and said with a smile, "Is Your Highness okay these days?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua also subconsciously stroked his stomach. These days, she can already feel the baby in her womb moving all the time, and the feeling is beyond words. She thought back to that feeling and smiled, "Good. The husband doesn't have to worry about the concubine. ”
Her personality is much softer, and she doesn't care much about anything else except this unborn child. I don't even care too much if Gao Cheng is back home or in Dongbai Hall. She had known for a long time that he would not be hers alone, but this child would definitely be hers.
Gao Cheng was a little lost, sighed and whispered, "Your Highness doesn't want Ah Hui if you have Xiaolang in your heart." ”
Yuan Zhonghua suddenly felt funny when she saw him silent, she took the initiative to hold his hand, intentionally teasing him, "How does the husband know that it must be Xiaolang?" What if it's a daughter? ”
Gao Cheng turned his head sideways to look at Yuan Zhonghua again. She was rarely so proactive, her hands were soft and she just held him gently. He flipped over his palms and used his hand to hold her hand tightly in his palm. His palms were covered with sweat.
It suddenly occurred to me that if he couldn't keep her, it would be a comfort if he had a daughter like her by his side.
"My daughter is better." Gao Cheng blurted out subconsciously. He was suddenly a little scared at this moment, afraid that Yuan Zhonghua would leave, afraid that he would never see her in the general's mansion again, afraid that what was waiting for him in this room in the future would be a stranger, or even Princess Rouran, who couldn't speak Chinese. He thought he hadn't been in love with anyone, but it wasn't like that.
Yuan Zhonghua looked at Gao Cheng puzzled, not understanding why his eyes were shining. There seemed to be tears in those beautiful green eyes.
"It's about to rain, if you go back to Dongbaitang, go quickly, don't get wet on the road." Yuan Zhonghua reminded him with self-righteous kindness.
"Who said I was going to Dongbai Hall, why is His Highness in such a hurry to get the official out?" Gao Cheng's heart seemed to be a mess, and his heart was so sour that he couldn't even breathe smoothly. He hugged Yuan Zhonghua tightly. The moment he lowered his head to kiss her, something shiny slipped out of the corner of his eye.
At this time, the desolate sound of the turtle pipa sounded, which made the already sad people feel even more at a loss.
