Chapter Ninety-Five: Mrs. Lou Takes Care of the Overall Situation (5)
Gao Yuanjun had been talking to Concubine Lou for a long time in the house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was still so early for the queen to arrive at the Gao Wang's Mansion, but the slaves and maids were not particularly surprised.
King Gao said that he was sick on the couch and did not show up. only called Zheng Ji to serve the sick.
Queen Gao Yuanjun has never put the queen's score in the palace of King Gao. Today, Concubine Lou is only getting along with her mother as a daughter.
In fact, for almost an hour in the morning, the mother and daughter talked about some inconsequential things, and they were almost exhausted.
Gao Yuanjun didn't want to take the opportunity to sue his mother and tell him about his eldest brother's behavior in detail. But there was never a chance. It was Concubine Lou who was strict and didn't give her a chance.
So when the slave came in and said, "The son of the world is here." Gao Yuanjun didn't say a word of urgency, and he didn't feel a little choked in his heart. There weren't many opportunities to be alone with her mother like this, and she just lost another opportunity. Although Gao Yuanjun knew that her mother's position as the concubine was about to be given up, she also knew the strength of her mother's relatives and the weight of her mother's words. She felt a pity that she couldn't let her mother see the other side of her eldest brother at this time.
Gao Cheng came in to pay a visit, and saw his sister on the side first. Although he knew in advance that the queen was also there, but suddenly saw Gao Yuanjun on Concubine Lou's side, Gao Cheng actually lost his mind and was in a trance, and he seemed to see the deceased Empress Yongxi and his eldest sister Gao Changjun in front of him. At that moment, his heart ached fiercely, even sad. Only the eldest sister is like him, regardless of her own advantages and disadvantages, for the sake of Gao, for her mother and younger siblings.
"Big brother doesn't look very good." Gao Yuanjun looked at her mother's unconscious smile, her extraordinarily kind face, these rare expressions, all poured out the moment she saw the eldest brother, and she was even more dissatisfied in her heart.
"The queen looks good." Gao Cheng had an honorific title in his mouth, but in fact he didn't seem to have any special respect, and he pushed back-for-tat.
Gao Cheng's words were punns. Concubine Lou must know everything, and why they came here, everyone knows it in their hearts. If it is really said that Gao Cheng's complexion is not good, the eldest son should worry about his mother. But Gao Yuanjun is a daughter, why should he have a good complexion?
Gao Yuanjun deeply regretted his speech, and it was inconvenient to explain, so he could only endure it silently.
As soon as I exchanged a few words, I suddenly came in from outside and said that the eldest princess and the Taiyuan couple had come.
Gao Yuanjun didn't say much this time, and secretly watched coldly.
Gao Cheng sat silently on the side, his eyes fixed on the door.
In a moment, Feng Yi's eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua was unable to move because of her abdomen, and she was helped by Ah Jiao to walk in.
Gao Yuanjun hadn't seen Yuan Zhonghua for a few days, and to be honest, he didn't care about this person in his heart, but when he suddenly saw that her belly was so big, she was surprised. Suddenly, I thought that she and Yuan Shanjian had been married for several years, and she still hadn't come out yet, and she didn't care about it before, but at this moment, she was a little lost in her heart when she fell in love with Jing.
Gao Yuanjun felt strange at a glance when he saw his eldest brother Gao Cheng staring at Yuan Zhonghua's gaze different from the past.
Yuan Zhonghua also wanted to visit Concubine Lou, but Concubine Lou stopped her and asked Ah Jiao to help Yuan Zhonghua sit down on the bed on one side. Just by Gao Cheng's side.
Gao Yuanjun was even more surprised when Gao Yang and Moonlight came in. The bruises, redness, and swelling on Gao Yang's cheeks were obviously new injuries. What made her even more strange was that the second brother didn't squint and didn't glance at Princess Feng Yi.
Seeing Libi, Gao Yang and Yueguang sat opposite Gao Cheng and Yuan Zhonghua.
Words are exchanged with courtesies.
Gao Yuanjun stared at Gao Yang and said with a smile, "The second brother is not too young, he always doesn't pay attention, and his face is bruised and purple, and this scar is too unseemly for people to see." When he was young, the second brother always taught the eldest brother a lesson, so that's it, is it possible that now the second brother is older and has a high position, and the eldest brother is still the same? ”
This is really a real sow of divisiveness.
Gao Yuanjun was joking, and as he spoke, he turned his head to look at his eldest brother Gao Cheng. She sat on the big bed with her mother, and Gao Cheng sat down on the other side of Concubine Lou.
Gao Cheng didn't speak as if he hadn't heard, as if he had nothing to do with him at all.
Gao Yang glanced at Concubine Lou quickly, then lowered his head slightly, and did not speak.
Moonlight glanced at Gao Cheng and quickly turned his head sideways.
Yuan Zhonghua looked up and looked carefully at Gao Yang, who was sitting opposite her, looking at his scars. Sure enough, it was very conspicuous, and it looked a little badly injured. Although I also know that it is common for King Gao and Gao Cheng, Gao Yang's father and son, and brothers to fight, I always feel that now that the brothers are old and have high statuses, it is really not reasonable to beat each other like this, resulting in such obvious scars.
Coincidentally, at this time, Gao Cheng suddenly turned his head sideways to look at Yuan Zhonghua, and saw that she was staring at Gao Yang's cheek, and suddenly his heart was angry.
Concubine Lou said lightly, "It's nothing, brotherly love is exactly like this, if Ah Hui looks at Hou Niyu like outsiders, and doesn't get angry or act for him, it doesn't look like a brother." How old is Ah Hui Changhouni, and he is taking him step by step, like a father and son. ”
This is true, but in any case, it is really unbelievable to be so blatantly biased. Gao Cheng knew in his heart that his mother was standing up for him. Especially at this time, there is a deep meaning in saying this.
"Auntie rest assured, my son understands in his heart that everything is measured, and he will not disappoint his mother." Gao Cheng replied, and it also had a deep meaning.
If Concubine Lou retreats to the position of concubine, the only thing to rely on is her eldest son Gao Cheng. As long as Gao Cheng becomes the lord of the Gao family, Concubine Lou will have a day of honor.
I don't know who understands the two sentences of the mother and son, but the mother and son are tacit.
Concubine Lou glanced at Gao Cheng, that is, she glanced at it lightly, and swept it away like a clear cloud and did not stay, and then her eyes stopped at Yuan Zhonghua, who was sitting on the other side of Gao Cheng.
"The auspicious period of the princess is approaching, but are you ready?" Concubine Lou's eyes were fixed on Yuan Zhonghua.
Concubine Lou used to rarely use "princess" to refer to Yuan Zhonghua.
Yuan Zhonghua was thinking in his heart that Gao Cheng suddenly glanced at her just now, and suddenly heard Concubine Lou ask her, he was suddenly startled, raised his head to look at Concubine Lou, and blurted out, "Princess......"
She has never used "princess" to call Concubine Lou. She can be regarded as growing up beside Concubine Lou since she was a child, and she is called "Grandma" with Gao Cheng. Concubine Lou treats her with a proper grasp, naturally she can't be like her own daughter, but she is not unfamiliar, so this title surprised everyone when Yuan Zhonghua suddenly spoke.
Gao Cheng was overwhelmed at this time, glanced at Yuan Zhonghua and didn't speak.
Moonlight doesn't have to scruple about it, she just thinks it's strange in her heart.
Gao Yang seems to be honest, as long as it is not his own business, he will not look up and pay attention to it.
Gao Yuanjun smiled, "Is the eldest sister-in-law tired?" The eldest brother is busy these days and doesn't take good care of the eldest sister-in-law. As he spoke, he glanced at his mother, Concubine Lou.
Concubine Lou picked up a few silver bowls and drank a few mouthfuls of cow bone milk soup, she remembered in her heart that this was her son's favorite drink.
It was Gao Cheng who didn't speak, almost the same action at the same time, silently drinking the soup. I just don't think it's tasteful.
The room was quiet, and the dreary atmosphere was depressing.
Gao Yuanjun suddenly thought in his heart, why did his father Gao Huan happen to be sick at this time? and deliberately ordered Zheng Ji to stay by his side.
Concubine Lou put down the bowl, raised her head and glanced at everyone calmly, her gaze was extremely calm and calm. Since she and her husband Gao Huan started in Huaishuo, she has experienced countless things for decades, and she has long practiced the kung fu of facing major events without shock.
"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, don't make fun of your brother and sister-in-law. Brother Ru is now in the temple to assist the government, and the authority of the Gao family is also vested in him, even your father and I have to obey him, not to mention your brother and sister. Concubine Lou said while looking at Gao Yuanjun, and then at Gao Yang. The great general weighed the pros and cons of many parties, and decided that if he made a decision between the nations, we would obey it. Since it is the Gao family, it should not only be the first thing for oneself, the Gao family has a way to survive, and the body of the feather does not depend on the general trend, wouldn't it be wiped out sooner or later? If you don't even understand this truth, you can see that you don't know how to measure. ”
Concubine Lou's words are clear, and no one is unclear in their hearts. These words are to warn Gao Yang, Gao Yuanjun, Yuan Zhonghua and Yueguang, and they are also to show their hearts.
It is not without reason that Concubine Lou is so calm. She is Gao Huanyuan's match, and when she was young, her husband and wife were not replaced by others, not to mention that Concubine Lou was very popular among Gao's former ministers. Concubine Lou has many children, if the eldest son Gao Cheng takes over the throne steadily in the future, and holds the authority of the Gao family, the rest can also assist the elder brother, and the power of the Gao family is growing day by day, why should Concubine Lou worry about not turning over.
At this time, the situation is compelling, Concubine Lou has a long-term vision, and would rather be wronged for a while and look to the future with the overall situation. This state of mind is beyond the reach of Yuan Zhonghua and Moonlight. Yuan Zhonghua's infatuation, the dimness of the moonlight, which one can be so shrewd and full of thoughts as Concubine Lou?
It turned out that Gao Cheng was still thinking about how to convince his mother, but he could only feel ashamed at this time. My heart grew heavier. Although his mother did not ask him for anything, he felt even more burdened.
Gao Yuanjun and Gao Yang are also obedient to their mother. Concubine Lou's scheming and determination are also used to it. It's just that at this time, I understand that my mother's support for my eldest brother is absolutely non-double-minded and will never change.
Gao Huan was "sick" and never showed up. Even Zheng Ji was busy serving her illness and didn't show up.
At this point, it is not necessary to say everything in a clear place. Originally, Gao Yuanjun and Gao Yang had thought about how to comfort their mother and how to show their hearts, but there was no need to talk about it. Gao Cheng's embarrassment was all for naught in an instant. In that case, there is nothing more to say.
Soon they all dispersed and went home.
Gao Yang didn't expect that his mother didn't ask about the injury on his face, and secretly warned him.
Out of King Gao's mansion, Gao Cheng didn't take the whip handed over by the cangtou slave, and walked straight to Yuan Zhonghua's carriage without turning a blind eye over the man. Ignoring it, no one else got into the carriage, as if this was the place he should have been.
Seeing that Gao Cheng had already gotten into the car and sat inside. Yuan Zhonghua was supported by Ah Jiao to stand at the gate of King Gao's Mansion, and he really didn't leave, nor did he stay. If you want to say that you went to get on the bus in the past, I always felt awkward in my heart, but it seemed that I was in a hurry. If you want to say no, I really have concerns in my heart, who knows if Gao Cheng will have another attack because of this.
Gao Yuanjun, Gao Yang, and Moonlight didn't get into the car yet, and they all looked at Yuan Zhonghua. It's just that Gao Yuanjun is sitting on the wall watching the excitement, Gao Yang is entangled in his heart and doesn't dare to make a move, and Moonlight is in a trance and wants Yuan Zhonghua to get in the car but doesn't want her to get in the car.
"Your Royal Highness......" Ah Jiao knew that Yuan Zhonghua couldn't let go again, so she called to remind her, and motioned her to follow Gao Cheng to the car quickly.
Yuan Zhonghua had no other choice but to walk over and be helped by Ah Jiao and get into the car.
At this time, the others went their own way.
The carriage moved slowly, and there were only two people in the car, Gao Cheng and Yuan Zhonghua.
I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves, the wheels rattling, and there was not a single sound in the car. Since getting in the car and returning home, Gao Cheng has been thinking sideways and has not said a word. Even when Yuan Zhonghua got into the car just now, he didn't reach out to help her. It's as if he got in the car just to get home, and nothing else has anything to do with him.
The more he was like this, the more Yuan Zhonghua couldn't make up his mind to take the initiative to ask him, but his heart was itching, and he felt that he couldn't stand his snub for a moment. If you really can't see it, forget it, but he's right in front of you. Thinking back to his absence last night, and seeing that he was thoughtful at this time, he suspected that he was thinking about Dongbaitang. My heart was cold, I was still curious, I glanced at Gao Cheng, then I simply retracted my gaze, sat alone, and only asked from time to time when I stroked my abdomen, feeling whether the fetus inside was happy or angry, and gradually forgot about Gao Cheng.
Yuan Zhonghua didn't know that although Gao Cheng didn't look at her, his mind left her for a moment. Knowing that her mind was flying away, she was helpless, so Fang turned her head to look at her.
Yuan Zhonghua naturally felt something, and also raised his head to look at him.
Gao Cheng saw that she was actually very calm, and it seemed that he had already thrown him aside, and he really couldn't do anything about her. Although he was anxious, he still asked with a cold face on the surface, "Your Highness expelled the lower official last night, so you don't ask where the lower official went?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua asked puzzledly, "The general naturally has a place to go, do you still need a concubine to ask?" ”
Gao Cheng lowered his head and stroked his forehead with his hand, he was so angry that he could only dissolve it by himself, and raised his head for a long time, seeing that Yuan Zhonghua still looked puzzled, and asked, "Your Highness doesn't care where the lower official is?" ”
Yuan Zhonghua didn't hesitate at all and asked, "Does the general want me to care, or doesn't he want me to care?" The concubine naturally knew that the general was at Princess Langya, did the general want to see the concubine cry bitterly? She lowered her head, and her voice was really slightly choked, "Since the general has already said that he can't abandon it, how dare the concubine disobey the general's will?" ”
This made Gao Cheng extremely unbearable, so he had to take the initiative to come over and gently persuade, "Your Highness really doubts me." Xia Guan only said that he couldn't abandon her, but he didn't say that he had devoted himself to her. My mother also said just now, if the body of the feather does not depend on the general trend, won't it disappear sooner or later? If this is said to His Highness, it is a little inappropriate, but the matter is different, His Highness and I are husband and wife, we are one, the husband is honored and the wife is noble, and the husband is injured and the woman is injured, how can this be compared with others? ”
The word "others" was clearly heard in Yuan Zhonghua's ears, and Gao Cheng said so gently and patiently to listen to her later, this is really something that has never happened before. Thinking that his arrogant temper has been completely changed in her, if she doesn't appreciate it again, she really doesn't understand his sincerity.
Thinking about the situation a few days ago, at this time, Yuan Zhonghua felt that Gao Cheng's heart was extremely sincere, and it was not comparable to others.
At this time, the carriage stopped at the gate of the house.
It's Ah Jiao, seeing Gao Cheng jumping down briskly, and then caring for Yuan Zhonghua, who is unable to move, she can't help but be happy, and she can't help but smile.
Yuan Zhonghua let Gao Cheng carry her inside, lay on Gao Cheng's shoulder, put his arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Ah Hui...... Husband......"
Gao Cheng's heart was hot, and he didn't speak, but hugged her tighter. (To be continued.) )
