Chapter 8: Brothers and Sisters
"Big brother! Big brother! ”
Through the door and window, I heard Gao Yang's unbridled shouting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Cheng was reluctant in his heart, and he still half lay on the big bed and refused to get up.
Yuan Zhonghua got up and left Gao Cheng, walked to the other side of the big bed and sat down, keeping a distance from him.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Gao Yang and Li Zu'e saw the glass covering the window that made them staggered. Although it is not very clear from the outside of the house, the idea is really new enough.
Gao Yang and Li Zu'e did not enter the palace to go to Jiaofang Palace, and no one knew that this idea was actually thought up by Emperor Yuan Shanjian first. Gao Cheng just learned it from the Jiaofang Palace.
Gao Yang entered the house, and then called "big brother" repeatedly.
Li Zu'e hurriedly glanced at the glass on the window, and then she really understood clearly. It's really breathtaking.
The slave and maid then raised the curtain. Li Zu'e followed Gao Yang, who broke into the room, and also walked in. At a glance, she saw Gao Cheng lying lazily on the big bed without moving, and quickly lowered her head slightly to stop. Then come back and bow.
Gao Yang didn't pay attention to that, he didn't even look at Yuan Zhonghua, as if there was only Gao Cheng in his eyes. rushed forward and said hurriedly, "Brother, I went out of the city to see my mother, and my mother said that my grandfather was very sick in Jinyang, and I wanted to ask my eldest brother to allow me to visit Jinyang immediately." ”
Moonlight looked at Gao Yang in surprise.
Gao Yang's words were also the topic that Yuan Zhonghua and Ah Cheng were talking about before, and she also listened attentively, and then looked sideways at Gao Cheng.
Gao Yang just stood in front of the big bed with straight eyebrows and looked at the eldest brother.
Gao Cheng didn't expect Gao Yang to have a problem. To say that this was said by his mother, Mrs. Lou, he didn't believe it very much. But at this time, there is no reason to verify who said this for the sake of this, whether it is true or false. Even if he knew that Gao Yang was in trouble in the name of his mother, Mrs. Lou, he could only fake it as true.
Gao Yang took the chicken feather as an arrow, and simply put the question directly on the surface, and even simply wanted to find out in person, which really forced people to give him a clear answer.
"Hou Niyu, you've really grown up." Gao Cheng pretended to smile lightly, and his tone was full of the tone of an adult speaking to a child. Even with some thumbs up. But then Gao Cheng changed his words and said, "I know that I care about these things, not as stupid and ignorant as before." ”
Gao Cheng's face was already gloomy. There are also Yuan Zhonghua and Li Zu'e, who accused Gao Yang of being stupid and stupid in person, and didn't save face at all. Although Yuan Zhonghua didn't like him to be so unrestrained with others, he also knew that he had always treated Gao Yang like this. The surface is harsh, but the heart may not be the same.
Li Zu'e had already lowered her eyes and bowed her head, extremely embarrassed.
Gao Yang didn't realize it, and he didn't look embarrassed at all. As if he didn't understand Gao Cheng's words, he became excited, took two more steps, simply knelt down near the side of the big bed, and looked up at Gao Cheng, who was still half-lying, "The banquet in the Lari Palace, the eldest brother must not go." I'm afraid no one will pay attention to me. Since the eldest brother has allowed it, I will go out of the city immediately, and I can go to Jinyang to see my grandfather in one day and night. ”
Seeing that he was getting more and more energetic, Gao Cheng couldn't help it, Huo Ran got up and said angrily, "Say you're stupid, you're really stupid!" If you are my brother, how can you be left unnoticed? The Son of Heaven even recalled the foreign ministers to Duzhong, but he rashly went out of the city to Jinyang, didn't everyone in the world know that King Gao was in danger? Originally, the minor injury was slightly ill, and it was not suitable to relocate, and the imperial physician also said that it was cold in winter, and King Gao should take care of himself, and he could heal when spring came. But you have to act publicly, I want everyone to know, how ill-intentioned?! ”
Gao Yang was stunned. He originally thought that to test his eldest brother's attitude, Gao Cheng would definitely deny the news that his father was injured and in danger. He just wanted to see how he was reflected, so that he could find out his state of mind and know how he was going to behave. But unexpectedly, Gao Cheng did not deny it, but acquiesced in his father's poor condition. But this acquiescence was not told to him clearly in words, and he couldn't grasp the subtle meaning of his words, but it drove him crazy.
When he was in the cold, Yuan Zhonghua stood up and said to Gao Cheng, "The husband and Zijin are here to talk in detail, and the concubine and the younger siblings are in to talk." ”
Gao Cheng had already sat cross-legged at this time, and his color had eased. "Your Highness will go, and the officials will come immediately." His eyes kept on Yuan Zhonghua and pulled Li Zu'e inside.
"Big brother, I'm afraid that the news that my father is different already knows in the palace." Gao Yang knelt on the ground, leaning against the edge of the big bed and looking up to ask Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng glanced at him, "You know everything, and the palace naturally knows even more." ”
"How can the Lord and the clan not have different hearts?" Gao Yang lowered his voice, and his eyes were extremely eager.
"What kind of dissenting heart?" Gao Cheng seemed to be completely puzzled.
Gao Yang choked. After a long time, he relieved himself and said, "How can the emperor and the king of Jibei not take advantage of the chaos to make changes?" It is necessary to take advantage of the fact that his father is sick to make things difficult with the general. Big brother should prepare early. He spoke eagerly, took advantage of the situation, leaned over, almost knelt on Gao Cheng's lap, and whispered as if he had heard a secret, "Big brother doesn't know, a few days ago, the eldest brother was not in the capital, and something big happened in the palace." ”
"What?" Gao Cheng was really puzzled this time.
"Big brother still doesn't know?" Looking at Gao Cheng's expression, Gao Yang secretly became excited in his heart. "Princess Langya was born prematurely in the palace, and the eldest brother's son died young, all of which were secretly done by Princess Jibei, Princess Huashan and Princess Gaoyang. The emperor has always been close to the king of Jibei, and it is impossible not to know. The emperor and the clan want to be unfavorable to the eldest brother for a long time, how can the brother let it go? ”
Cui Jishu is a waiter of the Yellow Gate, and he has already inquired about the day when Princess Langya Yuan Yuyi was in the palace. Although the details are not clear one by one, and there are even many suspicions, Gao Cheng has already guessed that Princess Jibei and others are manipulating behind the scenes. Now that I hear Gao Yang say the same, I am roughly sure in my heart.
"I heard that my brother-in-law was implicated?" Gao Cheng lowered his head and asked Gao Yang with concern.
"That's nothing," Gao Yang said with a sense of proportion, "It's that the eldest princess has been wronged." "He looks like a house slave complaining about the head of the house, and he is not offensive.
"Why?" Gao Cheng was surprised. He really hadn't heard Cui Jishu talk about this.
"Doesn't the eldest brother know?" Gao Yang couldn't tell the truth from the fake. Princess Huashan sneered at the eldest princess by taking advantage of Princess Langya's affairs. The eldest princess ignored her, she was extremely rude to the eldest princess. If it weren't for someone secretly supporting her, she would be a princess, where would she have the courage to get along with the general's wife? Specializes in picking quarrels and provoking trouble. ”
"I see." Gao Cheng tried to suppress the anger rising in his heart.
Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Hui often conspire together, Gao Cheng didn't know. It's just that nothing big happened at first; Second, I am afraid that I will be in a hurry, and another yuan will be cultivated. So Gao Cheng has always endured and endured. Now it seems that the idea has hit him. Although Gao Yang's words cannot be fully believed, the thoughts of Yuan Shanjian, Yuan Hui and others are already clear
"How can the eldest brother spare them?" Gao Yang became angry first.
"Not bad, not bad" Gao Cheng finally controlled himself, nodded and said, "Hou Niyu, you are a disciple of the Gao family, you are my own brother, you should be safe at this time, everything is important to the Gao family, I am connected with your flesh and blood, no one can compare, and I will naturally not treat you lightly in the future." ”
Gao Yang suddenly said with a high-spirited attitude, "My eldest brother and I must be of one heart and focus on the Gao family." But the eldest brother has a life, and I will destroy the family and destroy the family of those who covet the eldest brother, and I will not let it go. ”
In the middle of the inner bed, Bodhi and Asu were tired of playing and fell asleep. Ah Jiao and several slaves and maids all stood in the corner of the house, not daring to disturb the eldest princess and the Duchess of Taiyuan talking. Yuan Zhonghua and Li Zu'e sat opposite each other on the couch and looked at the two sleeping children.
The two children are lying side by side, and they all have their little arms on the small side of their little heads, which is particularly cute. Li Zu'e looked at the two equally sensual little faces, and the little arms were so short that they couldn't seem to hold their heads, and they almost couldn't bear to look away.
She subconsciously stroked her abdomen.
"How are your brothers and sisters doing these days?" Yuan Zhonghua knew that Wan'er's death must be a major blow to Li Zu'e. I saw that she was a lot haggard, but her complexion was fine.
Li Zu'e finally withdrew her gaze from the two children, and looked up at Yuan Zhonghua and felt that she had added a lot of charm after giving birth. "Sister, I'm fine, but Sister should be careful. Princess Huashan was used by Princess Jibei, although Princess Langya didn't say anything, and she didn't do anything unfavorable to her sister, but I always felt that this person's desires were not good for my sister. Sister, don't trust her. ”
Yuan Zhonghua didn't speak, but she didn't know that her unconsciously sigh had been heard by Li Zu'e.
Since Gao Cheng returned to Yecheng, he has rarely returned to his home, and he has seen him less often. And as before, most of the time is in Toshikado. According to Gao Cheng's character, if something like this happened to Yuan Yuyi, he would definitely pity it, and it was impossible to expel him immediately. Yuan Zhonghua himself couldn't help it, and now he could immediately bear to drive Yuan Yuyi, who had just been born prematurely and lost her son, out of Dongbai Hall.
Yuan Yuyi? Yuan Zhonghua had no doubts about this person in his heart. She didn't even have a chance to meet her, so it was useless to be careful.
Li Zu'e saw that Yuan Zhonghua didn't take it too seriously, and wanted to remind him, but suddenly heard the slave maid come to report that Taiyuan Gong had gone out, and he was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye to Yuan Zhonghua.
At this time, Bodhi and Asu also woke up and were stumped.
Li Zu'e hurriedly came out, Gao Cheng was missing from the house, and it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, so he left in his clothes. When he went out, he saw his slave and maid Tonghuan and others waiting outside. It's just that Tonghuan and a few other slaves and maids are all silent, which is puzzling.
The brass ring gestured with a look in his eyes. Li Zu'e turned around and saw Gao Cheng walking towards her from behind her along the corridor.
Gao Cheng had already approached and smiled extremely naturally, "I'll send Madame out." ”
It didn't look like he had come all the way to see her off. I don't know when he left Yuan Zhonghua's house just now, and what did he do? Why did Gao Yang leave her here alone and leave by herself?
There was no reason for her to convince herself to say no.
Gao Cheng turned around and walked along the wooden corridor towards where he had come from.
Li Zu'e followed behind him slightly.
Tonghuan and a few other slaves and maids were far behind.
At the turn, Gao Cheng looked back and saw that the moonlight was slightly bowing his head and walking slowly. She didn't look up at him. He saw the golden tassels on her hairpin swaying with her gait. suddenly remembered that in Tenglong Mountain in Jinyang, they had known each other for a long time. He had also played naughty tricks on her countless times, but by this time he had long since lost the slightest thought.
When the moonlight felt different, he raised his head and almost hit Gao Cheng, who had stopped for a long time. She was so frightened that she almost sat down.
Gao Cheng reached out and grabbed her without hesitation.
He didn't let go.
Moonlight didn't want to break free, but looked at him hesitantly and breathlessly.
"I heard that my brother and sister are pregnant again?" Gao Cheng asked lightly. It wasn't supposed to be a topic he should have asked. But it was not embarrassing for him to ask like this, and he did not have an overly concerned tone and look.
"Yes." Moonlight's voice trembled a little.
"Be careful." Gao Cheng slowly let go of her.
"Thank you, General." Moonshine is also not superfluous.
There seems to be nothing else between them except that. Moonlight had a feeling in her heart that was hard to define. She felt his extra care, but not the kind of attention he had had always teased her before. They were finally estranged from each other, but she was tied to him by his care.
It was different from when she knew what he wanted. Knowing that she would never be able to enter his heart, he was desperate. At this time, although I knew that there would never be a change, the despair was gone, and there was a sudden warmth in my heart. It's okay, it can't replace what she wants, but at least there is something to hope for. For the warmth that this little care brings her, it is also worth it.
The gift of the big lady in the palace is the day before the day of Lari.
There are solemn and solemn ceremonies, but there is no festive atmosphere. The original intention of the ceremony was to drive away evil spirits, and I don't know why, on this day, the ceremony in the Wei Palace was filled with an atmosphere of great compassion and great evil.
Many people have this feeling, but no one will say it.
The ceremony was held in the open square in front of the Taiji Palace. Because of the emptiness, the earth-shattering drum sound is even more deafening.
The emperor and the hundred officials all stood at the foot of the stairs, staring at the grand and real scene in front of them with serious faces. Everyone looks preoccupied. I don't know what everyone is thinking. But there is a common question that everyone has in their hearts.
This year's day is different from the past, and it stands to reason that it is more joyful than every. The state has the joy of opening up its territory and expanding its territory, and the society has the joy of the continuation of the sect. This happens to be closely related to the King of Bohai and the Prime Minister Gao Huan. Because the protagonists of the two happy events are King Gao's eldest son, the son of the prince Gao Cheng, and King Gao's daughter, the queen Gao.
But King Gao did not appear at the scene of today's ceremony.
Fang Xiang's clan and the twelve divine beasts were all wearing hideous masks, either with angry eyes or extremely vicious. Accompanied by the rhythm of heavy drums, the actors in heavy and dazzling clothes performed with great effort. There are also a hundred and ten boys, all of whom are dressed in black clothes and red clothes, dancing around the protagonist Fang Xiangshi and the twelve divine beasts, expressing their willingness to exorcise demons and evil spirits.
No one noticed that Fang Xiang's clan was not only working hard but also laborious, and he was already doing his best.
Emperor Yuan Shanjian looked particularly energetic today. He was dressed in a crown robe, dignified and dignified, with a humble gentleman's face. From time to time, he paid attention to the general Gao Cheng standing beside him, almost standing next to him. In fact, not only Yuan Shanjian, but everyone noticed this powerful minister from time to time.
Gao Cheng also wore a crown dress. The dark clothes are tattooed with black seals. It's just that the crown on his head is decorated with jade, and his already expressionless cheeks are covered with clouds, so that people can't see the clues. (To be continued.) )
