Gu Changqing returned to the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin went to the back mountain to pick fruits, and he went back to his room.

He sat down on the edge of the bed.

Without outsiders, there was finally a hint of expression on his face that had not changed for thousands of years, and he frowned and unbuttoned his shirt.

His neck, shoulders, and even the backs of his hands and wrists were full of shocking scratches, and in some places there were beads of blood oozing, which dried up and stuck to his clothes, and when he peeled them off, he gasped in pain.

"Oops! Shizi! ”

The little guy entered with the clothes he had just taken from the clothesline, and at a glance he saw the scratches on Gu Changqing's neck, he was frightened and asked, "Which little hoof did it!" ”

Gu Changqing's eyes were cold, and he pulled up his clothes: "If you come in, you won't knock on the door?" ”

The little guy said, "The little one doesn't know if you're back!" The little one was still here in the whole house, so he went out to collect some clothes, who would have thought that the son would go back...... Anyway, what's the matter with your injuries? Which girl got it? Is it from outside the house or from ours? ”

He didn't dare to say little hooves anymore.

"Don't do your business." Gu Changqing stood up lightly and hung the saber at his waist on the shelf.

"Oh." The servant came to the bedside, folded the clothes one by one, and put the clothes that didn't need to be folded into the cupboard and hung them.

"Why a woman?" Gu Changqing suddenly spoke.

The little guy said: "Do you need to talk about this?" That makes people scratch at the first sight, who keeps nails for men? ”

Gu Changqing's eyes moved: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

The little guy muttered: "The prince doesn't let the little one say it, just don't say the little one." ”

Gu Changqing stood in front of the sword frame, and there was a faint pain in the scratched place on his body, which was different from the sharp and direct pain of a sword wound, which was very strange and unfamiliar.

Her mind flashed to the image of her drug in the carriage, and Gu Changqing closed her eyes.

Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed, and he asked cautiously, "But Shizi, why did you suddenly figure it out?" ”

Gu Changqing was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly figure it out?" ”

The little maid smiled: "Don't hide it from the prince, the prince has not been close to women all these years, and there is not even a maid in the yard, and then he is not willing to discuss marriage, the little ones...... It's all guessing...... Does Shizi like men? ”

Gu Changqing's face darkened: "Get out!" ”

The little guy shook his body and went out stupidly.

Then he went to report to the old marquis and Mrs. Gu - his family son has opened up, and his family has touched a woman!

After several hours of treatment, King Anjun's injuries were finally stabilized at night.

After watching him drink the medicine, the government doctor retreated.

Mrs. Zhuang came to the Anjun royal house, his face was not very good-looking, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "I'll ask you one last time, did you really do it?" ”

King Anjun said: "It's me, and my grandfather has asked this answer many times." ”

Mrs. Zhuang hated that iron could not become steel, this grandson was his most important back, and he pinned the hope of the prosperity of the Zhuang family for the next hundred years on him, but he destroyed his future and made such a mistake.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "You are not a girl from a small family on the street today, who can be sent away with a sum of money or a little power. That is the daughter of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, even if she is the adopted daughter who has been holding the wrong since she was a child, she is also on the family tree and has entered the family register, not to mention that the old Ding'an Hou and Gu Changqing are deeply valued by His Majesty, and you can't admit this account. You've got to give her a name. ”

King Anjun lay on the bed weakly, and said with a dead heart: "Let my grandfather arrange it." ”

It's not her anyway, what does it make if you marry Miss Yuan or Miss Gu?

The next day, Mrs. Zhuang sent a housekeeper from the Zhuang Mansion to Ding'an Hou Mansion to explain his intention to the old marquis and Mrs. Gu.

"My lord said that he is willing to make Miss Nagu, the king of the county, a concubine."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Gu was happy, the status of the Ding'an Hou Mansion in the capital, they were able to marry the Zhuang family, and even if it was the position of the side concubine, it was not an insult to Gu Jinyu.

The old marquis's face sank: "This is your dealer's explanation for the Anhou Mansion!" Hmph, you are bullying the Ding'an Hou Mansion without the Gu family army and the military power, so you can be bullied and slaughtered, right? ”

The housekeeper smiled faintly: "What did Old Marquis Gu say?" Taifu didn't mean to despise the Hou Mansion of Ding'an, but the news had already spread in the capital that this Miss Gu was not the biological flesh and blood of Lord Gu and Mrs. Hou, she was born and raised in the Hou Mansion by mistake. With all due respect, the young master of my family is the prince of the county personally appointed by His Majesty, and he has been a proton for the prince in the Chen State for ten years, and has made great contributions to the Zhao Kingdom. How could his concubine be a peasant girl from the countryside? Not to mention that not long ago, Miss Gu also made a big lie. I heard that Miss Gu took the lead in leading the bellows first, and stole the mortar later, and privately transformed the bellows to harm countless craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, causing huge losses to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. To put it mildly, Miss Gu and the Hou Shizi of Ding'an are not related by blood, so is the old Hou Ye willing to let the prince marry a woman of Miss Gu's character as his wife? ”

"How can that evil girl be worthy of Changqing!" Old Madam Gu couldn't hold her breath and opened her mouth.

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a cold look from the old marquis.

She realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her eyes flashed as she picked up her teacup and drank it.

The housekeeper knew that he had won the situation, so he didn't repeat it, and he arched his hand meaningfully: "If the old marquis and the old lady have no opinion on this family business, then the little one will go back to the Taifu to return to his life." ”

Old Madam Gu opened her mouth, and she had the heart to say something, but she was instantly silenced by the cold eyes of the old marquis.

The butler walked away triumphantly.

In fact, I still don't feel very happy in my heart, side concubine? With Gu Jinyu's infamous woman, she is also worthy?

It's still cheap for her!

"Master......" Old Madam Gu realized that she had just lost her words and caused them to lose the situation, and she didn't dare to complain about anything at this time, but said, "Actually, Jinyu's child still has a heart, although she has made many mistakes, but she has reformed herself, and she went to the Salesian Village some time ago." With the lord and the lady supporting her, I think that even if she is a side concubine, the Zhuang family will not treat her harshly. ”

The old marquis couldn't accept the status of the side concubine.

He never thought of using his own children to climb anyone, but he had a principle - the daughter of the Gu family would rather marry a commoner as a wife than enter a high family as a concubine.

The side concubine sounds nobler than the concubine, but she is not a wife in the end.

The old marquis went to Gu Jinyu's yard.

Gu Jinyu was recuperating in the room, her face pale and haggard.

The old marquis asked her: "Let me ask you, if I can suppress this matter, are you willing to marry someone else?" ”

Gu Jinyu knelt down in front of the old marquis, and said with red eyes: "Jinyu and the king of the county have a skin-to-skin relationship, how can they still have the face to marry someone else?" If the dealer doesn't recognize it, Jinyu will go to the nunnery to shave her head and be a sister-in-law......"

The old marquis frowned and sighed.

He doesn't hurt her anymore, and he won't let people trample on the face of the Hou Mansion on the ground.

Besides, to put it bluntly, this matter is the fault of the dealer, they bullied people, they didn't want to be responsible, but forced the daughter of the Gu family into the nunnery to be a sister-in-law, the truth is not like this.

The old marquis immediately entered the palace, but was told that the emperor had left the palace and was taking Gonggong He out.

"When will Your Majesty come back?" At the main gate of the palace, the old marquis asked Gonggong Wei.

Wei Gong said fairly: "The slave is not clear, is the old marquis in a hurry to find His Majesty?" ”

said that he was in a hurry, and the old marquis was worried that Mrs. Zhuang would communicate with the Empress Dowager Zhuang in advance, and let the Empress Dowager Zhuang make Gu Jinyu a side concubine, so it would be too late to say anything.

The old marquis said: "There is indeed an emergency. ”

"Ah......" Gonggong Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty's whereabouts are inconvenient for the slave to tell, if the old marquis can trust the minions, the minions are willing to go and convey them on behalf of the old marquis." ”

That's all there is to it.

The old marquis arched his hand: "There is Father-in-law Lao Wei." ”

An hour later, a carriage stopped outside the nunnery.

Grandpa Wei stepped down from the carriage.

The emperor was feeding Concubine Jing medicine in the meditation room.

Concubine Jing sat at the head of the bed, covered with a thin layer of mattresses.

"I'll do it myself." She said, "It's not a serious illness, it's just a little cold, why did Your Majesty rush here?" ”

The emperor frowned and said, "If I hadn't arranged for someone to secretly protect my mother, I wouldn't have known that my mother was sick, and my mother used to fool me like this, hiding everything from me." ”

Concubine Jing smiled indifferently: "People will always have such and such small problems when they are old, where can they be the same as when they were young?" Your Majesty is the king of a country, and there is no need to mobilize the people for this little thing. ”

The emperor snorted: "Who said that?" Look at the Queen Mother's body is very good! It's tougher than ever! ”

Concubine Jing was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting the emperor to suddenly mention the Queen Mother.

She smiled and said: "The queen mother's strong body is the blessing of Zhaoguo, Your Majesty has been wearing clothes and food all these years, and the queen mother has also shared a lot for Your Majesty." ”

The emperor snorted, "The concubine doesn't have to speak for her. ”

Concubine Jing smiled: "I'm not speaking for her, I'm like her, I've known her for so many years, what kind of character can I not understand?" gave birth to a knife mouth, strong and unforgiving, her heart is towards His Majesty. ”

The emperor said coldly: "If she is really towards me, she should hand over the power of the court and live in Renshou Palace in peace." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, the medicine is cold." Concubine Jing took the medicine bowl and began to drink the medicine.

The emperor guarded her quietly, and suddenly his eyes fell on the wooden hairpin above Concubine Jing's head, and his eyebrows frowned slightly: "Although the mother concubine eats fasting and recites Buddha, her life is too hard, and she doesn't even have a decent hairpin." Unlike the Queen Mother, Eguan Bo belt, surrounded by beads, extremely extravagant! ”

Concubine Jing opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

She continued to drink the medicine.

The emperor swept the bald-eyed table and asked Mama Cai, who was waiting on the side, "Isn't there any candied fruit in the house?" ”

Mama Cai sneered: "The concubine doesn't eat this." ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "The mother concubine is too able to endure hardships, and there are not ten kinds of candied fruit in Renshou Palace, but there are eight kinds of candied fruits!" ”

Concubine Jing's eyelashes trembled, she drank the medicine in one go, handed the empty bowl to Mama Cai and took it down, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a funny face: "Your Majesty always mentions the Queen Mother today." ”

The emperor choked: "Do I have it?" ”

"Hmm." Concubine Jing looked at him with a smile.

The emperor snorted, "That's not that she's too much, I'm so angry that my head hurts." I only hope to take away her real power as soon as possible, so that I can take my mother back to the palace with peace of mind. ”

"You." Concubine Jing shook her head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, Grandpa Wei is here." The little eunuch went into the house to report.

The emperor said, "What is he here for?" ”

Concubine Jing said: "Let's go and take a look, there must be something important." ”

The emperor went for two quarters of an hour before returning, and his expression was a little solemn.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Concubine Jing sat at the head of the bed and asked.

The emperor has always known everything about Concubine Jing, he sighed and said, "Gu Chao came to ask for a holy decree to let me marry King Anjun for his granddaughter." ”

Concubine Jing was slightly stunned: "Old Ding'anhou? How did he get married to the dealer? ”

The two allegiances are to different camps, not to mention that they are incompatible, but the matter of marriage is indeed not the first choice for both parties.

The emperor said helplessly: "King Anjun despised Miss Gu, and he didn't want to allow her to be the concubine, so he only treated her as a side concubine." Gu Chao does not chase fame and fortune, nor does he cling to power and power, but he can't swallow this breath, he feels that the dealer is bullying people too much, and he has no attitude of making amends. ”

Concubine Jing was silent for a long time, and said, "I have also heard of that kid of King Anjun, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing." ”

The emperor said, "To be honest, I was also surprised. ”

Concubine Jing looked at him and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't agree with this family business?" ”

The emperor nodded: "Don't hide it from the concubine, I am indeed a little hesitant. ”

Concubine Jing said softly: "Your Majesty is worried that after the two of them get married, the situation will be unfavorable to Your Majesty?" ”

The emperor shook his head: "No, Gu Chao is not this kind of person, not to mention that Gu Jinyu is not Gu Chao's own granddaughter, just a peasant child who has been holding the wrong child since childhood." "The old marquis will not change his position for her, the emperor is convinced.

Concubine Jing thought for a while: "Then, is Your Majesty worried that the Queen Mother will not agree?" ”

When the emperor heard the Queen Mother, his expression turned cold: "The Queen Mother doesn't know about this yet, and I don't plan to ask her opinion." ”

If you ask, there is no room for turnaround, and you either don't do it, or you have to seize the opportunity.

"So what is Your Majesty worried about?" Concubine Jing asked.

The emperor hesitated, but still said: "This woman has been in trouble and has a bad reputation. "The most important thing is that she robbed the little divine doctor of the credit, which made the emperor unbearable, and the emperor was reluctant to promote Gu Jinyu.

Concubine Jing didn't ask what the specific trouble was, she paused, and asked with a smile: "Then can she change?" ”

The emperor snorted: "I heard that he has reformed himself, and he went to the Salesian Village without telling his family, and took care of the children there tirelessly, and he was so tired that he fainted." ”

Concubine Jing smiled warmly: "Your Majesty, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, not to mention that the old Marquis Ding'an has worked hard and made great achievements, and he did not hesitate to dismiss the Gu family army for His Majesty, and he was infamous on his back, if Your Majesty can't even agree to his small request, it will be too cold for the old Marquis's heart." ”

The emperor thought about it carefully, the old marquis really didn't ask for anything for himself, and it was easy to open his mouth once, and he refused it, which was a bit unkind.

Concubine Jing said again: "Speaking of which, the old marquis also saved my life back then. ”

"Is that so?" The Emperor looked at Concubine Jing in astonishment.

Concubine Jing lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "That was before I entered the palace, I went to the temple to offer incense, and on the way back, I encountered a horse thief, thanks to the old marquis who drew a knife to help drive away the horse thief, otherwise, I may have died in the wilderness." ”

The emperor said in a daze: "I have never heard the mother concubine mention it. ”

Concubine Jing looked at him with a smile: "At that time, I was selected as a show girl, and I was not allowed to leave the house without permission, I ran out secretly, and I blamed my young and naughty at that time." ”

The emperor suddenly realized: "I see. He pondered for a moment and said, "The old marquis's request, I will consider it well." ”

"Hmm." Concubine Jing smiled and nodded.

The emperor talked to Concubine Jing for a while, and Gonggong He entered and urged: "Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace." ”

Concubine Jing looked at the dark sky, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and she patted the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, go back to the palace." ”

The emperor sighed and said to He Gong: "What about the peace charm that asked you to ask for?" ”

Gonggong He hurriedly took out a brocade box from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to the emperor: "I asked for it!" It's the abbot who has opened the light! ”

Concubine Jing looked at the peace charm that seemed to exude endless Buddha energy: "This is ......"

"Oh." The emperor said, "To the Queen Mother." ”

Concubine Jing was slightly stunned.

Gonggong Wei said with a smile: "The Queen Mother stayed awake a few days ago to take care of Her Majesty, and she was tired and sick. ”

Concubine Jing smiled: "It's rare for your mother and son to release their previous suspicions. ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Jing and said: "The mother concubine is my mother, she is only the queen mother of a country, and this peace charm is the filial piety of the king of a country to the queen mother, not the son to the mother." Besides, I can't hide my whereabouts from her, so instead of asking her to trouble her mother, I should tell her that I have come to ask for a peace charm for her, and stop by to see my mother. ”

Concubine Jing smiled helplessly: "The Queen Mother won't do anything to me, Your Majesty is too worried." ”

------Off topic------

The explosion is in the early part of next month, well, soon.
