Chapter 173: Repaying the Favor

After the emperor vented, the conversation changed and mentioned Qingyun, saying, "I have always felt that you are better than him, but now I think he is better than you, at least he is loyal to me." ”

Du Ruoyuan had to bury his head lower, put his head on the cold floor tiles, and said, "Ask the emperor for the loyalty of his ministers." ”

The emperor replied lightly, "Really? ”

Du Ruoyuan bowed his head heavily and said, "The minister's loyalty to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

The emperor looked at Du Ruoyuan, who was kneeling on the ground not far away, and recognized Du Ruoyuan, who was low, and said, "Qingyun's death is a big regret in my life, have you heard his last wish?" ”

Du Ruoyuan replied, "Back to the emperor, Weichen heard it." ”

The emperor then said, "Tell me and listen. ”

Du Ruoyuan said, "He said that he can no longer be loyal and ask the emperor to take care of his family." ”

The emperor stood up, walked to Du Ruoyuan's side, and said softly, "I have a lot of trivial matters, and I am afraid that there will be many inadequate cares, which will make their orphans and widows suffer, I want you to take care of their mother and son for me, are you willing?" ”

Du Ruoyuan did not hesitate, and replied, "Even if there is no emperor's order, they belong to colleagues, and Weichen should be like this." ”

"Good!" The emperor replied, and after speaking, he leaned over and helped Du Ruoyuan up.

looked at Du Ruoyuan's flattered eyes, and then said, "With your words, I will rest assured, and when I make proper arrangements, you will marry the Gu family and take good care of their mother and son for me." After speaking, regardless of Du Ruoyuan's shocked expression, he turned back to his high position.

After sitting down, he added, "You have always ignored mundane affairs, I'm afraid you don't know that the Gu family is Qingyun's wife, and she has not yet arrived in her thirties, so she is a good match for you." His son's name is Zheng Zhiyong, he is five years old, because Qingyun only has this son, he can't change his surname with you, and when you have children with the Gu family in the future, you will naturally follow your surname. ”

After a long time, seeing that Du Ruoyuan was still standing on the spot, he said, "Du Aiqing, Fang is the one who is extremely angry, I have wronged Aiqing, will I give you an apology?" ”

Du Ruoyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen will go and find out the source of the rumors." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need, it's messy enough, I don't want to have another incident." Go down. ”

Du Ruoyuan withdrew after giving his hand, and the emperor looked at his back as he left, and said in his heart that I would be embarrassed. ”

You Xiao thinks about Qin Daochuan's wife, I have already lost him once, and I can't let you hurt him a second time.

Qingyun is entrusted by him on his deathbed, and you are the best candidate.

I thought of the second rumor, and after thinking about it, I couldn't guess who made the move, Gesang Quzhen had no foundation in the court, and she was very arrogant by nature, so it wouldn't be her doing. The other concubines are all possible, but who they are may be a mystery after all.

However, no matter what, he finally relieved Concubine Xian. Right! Concubine Xian, could it be her? If it was really her, such a powerful counterattack would be really impressive.

Thinking of Concubine Xian, since the last time she knelt and asked to leave the palace, she has never been there, because of this incident, she and Concubine Xian have not been a good thing so far, since she is willing to save herself, it seems that kneeling and asking to leave the palace is just a plan to retreat.

Thinking that Concubine Xian had the intention to stay in the palace, the emperor was in a good mood, and he no longer had any mental retractions, so he stood up and said, "Go to Concubine Xian's palace." ”

Ruoshu, who was in the right courtyard, looked at Qin Daochuan, who was sitting opposite, turning the pages of the book, from time to time, suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked him, and said, "You are not afraid of people settling accounts after the autumn." ”

Qin Daochuan was still flipping through the book, without raising his eyes, and said, "My husband has already obeyed my orders, and my wife can't do it when I plan to cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”

Ruoshu kicked again, Qin Daochuan sighed helplessly, and said, "Don't you know what you look like now?" Still so reckless. After speaking, he got up, bypassed the small table, and sat next to Ruoshu, using his hands as a pillow, leaning on the cushion behind her.

Seeing that Ruoshu finally stopped, he looked at her big belly and said, "It's been a few days, it's really difficult." ”

Ruoshu snorted and said, "Don't think that you will be exonerated if you are born safely, all the trivial matters of this child in the future will be in your charge." ”

Qin Daochuan said with a smile: "As a father, you should be willing to eat." ”

When Ruoshu saw him say this for the second time, he turned his head to look at him, and finally felt that it was still inappropriate and endured it.

After a while, Ruoshu said, "The imperial examination is also in the past few days, and when the topic comes out, you can also write it, so as to show your true ability." ”

Qin Daochuan gently massaged Ruoshu's swollen back, and said, "At the beginning, my grandfather also asked me to write a few articles on the imperial examination of the previous dynasty, saying that although it was immature but had a clear idea, given time, if the scientific examination is held, it is not impossible to be nominated for the gold list." ”

Ruoshu replied, "Everyone has its own pain, who doesn't think that their own family is the best." ”

Qin Daochuan smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "In the eyes of Madame, is it so untalented to be a husband?" ”

Ruoshu said, "I just don't like that you always mention the past, it seems that you have read books, and I have not gone to school?" ”

Qin Daochuan said with a smile: "Madame, where do you still need to go to school?" If you learn more, there will be no other people's business in the world. ”

Ruo Shu was about to push him, but he was hugged in his arms and said, "Be careful, it's not worth getting angry about some trivial things." ”

On the day of the imperial examination, Ruoshu gave birth to a daughter, and Qin Daochuan took the name Xianke.

It was also on this day that Du Ruoyuan was ordered to get married and married Qingyun's widow Gu, the emperor wanted him to live directly in Qingyun's mansion, but he explicitly refused, and the emperor was stunned for a while and no longer insisted on it.

On the night of the wedding, Gu looked at Du Ruoyuan, who was sitting opposite him and had drunk the wine, and after being shy, his eyes rolled and said, "Husband, the night is already deep, why sit down, let the concubine serve you and rest." ”

Du Ruoyuan suddenly stood up, took two steps back, and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, the emperor ordered the lower officials to take care of your mother and son, but the lower officials did not dare to insult Lord Du's widow, from now on, the lower officials will take the responsibility of taking care of your mother and son, it is not early, please rest as soon as possible." With that, he bowed again, walked out quickly, and closed the door.

Gu sat on the spot, and it wasn't until the building was empty that he gradually understood what was going on with this marriage.

After hearing that Du Ruoyuan was going to marry her, she was surprised and surprised, she did not deny that since she had seen him at the Lantern Festival that time, his excellence had remained in her heart, but at that time she just wanted to find a good family for her sister. How did she know that Qingyun died suddenly, and when she was wandering and helpless, the sky was overjoyed and she got a better husband, so how could she not be excited.

Who knew that he was just forced to be helpless, and he had no intention of her at all.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu personally made breakfast early, and when he saw that Du Ruoyuan really came to have breakfast together, he thought to himself, there is still a chance, and the coming day will be long. On the side, she served Du Ruoyuan with warm words and gentle words for breakfast, and she couldn't see that she was sitting until dawn. Du Ruoyuan looked quite embarrassed, endured it for a long time, and finally said, "Madame doesn't need to be like this, Ruoyuan will come by herself." Ruoxian, who was at the same table, was embarrassed to think that he was newly married, and bowed her head in a complicated manner. Five-year-old Du Zhiyong looked at them blankly, as if he understood or not.
