349 Surprise (1st Update)
"Isn't that a good night's sleep?" Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and asked.
Father-in-law Wei opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
From time to time, there was the laughter of Aunt Liu's sisters and the two daughters-in-law of Grandma Zhou's family, as well as the noisy babbling of several children in the front yard and the small clear space.
In the past, it was difficult for His Majesty to fall asleep at the slightest movement in the palace, and it was so noisy outside, how could His Majesty still sleep so soundly?
The emperor slept from the afternoon to the next morning, and did not eat dinner.
Gu Jiao looked at the way the emperor rushed into the carriage to go to the early dynasty with a fluffy messy hair, and said in her heart, where does this seem like he can't sleep? Obviously I slept more than her!
She whipped up black powder last night, and the whole family woke up, and the emperor snored like thunder, and the courtyard was full of his dragon's breath - commonly known as snoring.
"Hmm." Gu Jiao touched her chin, "I thought I blew him up in the middle of the night." β
"Catch the car! Stunned to do something! The emperor slapped the coachman's head, and he was so alive that he was absolutely not stunned.
The emperor slept well, refreshed, went back to Huaqing Palace to wash up, changed into a dragon robe and went to the Jinluan Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhuang's phoenix also arrived near the Jinluan Palace.
Gonggong Wei reminded: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has also arrived." β
It's time to arrive, Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes.
Empress Dowager Zhuang, who bent her waist for five candied fruits, let her get off the sedan chair and walked out with the support of Father-in-law Wei.
The emperor also got out of the sedan chair, looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuang with a smile in his eyes, and did not forget to bow his hand to the son: "My son asks the queen mother for peace." β
Yesterday it looked like a bag of wilted cabbage, but today it is obvious that she has spirit, Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at him lightly, and said: "The hour is not early, don't delay, hurry up to the court." Isn't it true that the emperor has always arrived earlier than the mourning family? Why is it so late today? β
The emperor was embarrassed to say that he had overslept in Bishui Hutong, obviously he couldn't sleep peacefully in the palatial dormitory, so he went to the small dilapidated house of the Empress Dowager Zhuang but slept dimly, and he despised himself when he said it!
He won't admit that it's because the room is good to sleep in, it must be that he is too tired after not sleeping for a few days.
The emperor thought about it, and inadvertently saw the Empress Dowager Zhuang holding a delicate hand stove in her hand.
This is a dual-purpose hand stove, which can be filled with charcoal in winter and ice in summer.
The emperor suddenly smiled, walked over, and raised his hand to knock down the hand stove of the Empress Dowager Zhuang.
The hand stove slammed against the bluestone floor.
The texture is very strong and not broken.
Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes turned cold when she looked at the emperor, and she was about to get angry, when she saw several court officials coming from not far away.
"Father-in-law Wei, the Queen Mother's hand stove has dropped, why don't you pick it up for the Queen Mother?"
ββ¦β¦ Be! Father-in-law Wei picked up the hand stove on the ground and got it dirty on the ground, so naturally he couldn't just hand it over to the Queen Mother, he was about to wipe it with his sleeve.
The emperor brought the hand stove over: "I come." He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the hand stove, as if it could shine before handing it to the Empress Dowager Zhuang with a smile, "Queen Mother, your hand stove." β
The court officials who saw this scene couldn't help but secretly exclaim, Your Majesty is really filial to the Queen Mother, and personally helped her wipe the hand stove.
The corners of Empress Dowager Zhuang's mouth twitched.
She tugged at the stove with a cold face.
The emperor reminded shyly: "Smile, queen mother, smile, look at it!" β
I'm laughing at you big donkey hooves!
Empress Dowager Zhuang smirked: "Hehehe." β
The officials walked away, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang smiled for a second, and threw the hand stove that had been taken by the emperor to Gonggong Qin with disgust.
When walking up the steps of the Jinluan Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhuang took off her phoenix robe to cover her feet and stepped on the emperor's instep!
Emperor: Whewβ
There were people all around, and he shut his mouth and swallowed the whine into his stomach in despair.
His facial features twisted into a ball in pain!
Empress Dowager Zhuang smiled faintly: "What's wrong with the emperor?" β
The emperor stiffened and pinched his thighs: "Feet...... Foot ......"
Get your feet off the way!
"Oh, the emperor twisted his foot?" Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her eyebrows, and then crushed him on the instep of his foot, and the emperor rolled his eyes in pain, almost losing his breath.
Empress Dowager Zhuang gracefully stretched out her hand, held his arm, and smiled with her eyebrows: "The mourning family will help you." Then he kept smiling, squeezed a few words out of his teeth, and said, "Everyone, look at it, Emperor, laugh." β
The emperor laughed more ugly than cried.
The officials couldn't help but sigh - the Queen Mother also loves this son!
It seems that after the misunderstanding of the Queen Mother poisoning the little Marquis of Zhaodu was resolved, the relationship between the mother and son has really eased a lot!
Gu Jiao didn't know anything about the affairs in the palace, and after she sent Xiao Jingkong to Guozi Jian Mengxue, she went to the hospital.
She found that the clinic often had many patients in the morning and a little leisure in the afternoon, and the little girl who used to study for girls would come next door to play the piano from time to time, but now she couldn't hear it.
She tried to let Xiao Jiangli learn the piano, but this girl was only interested in herbal medicine, and learning the piano was stupider than her practicing calligraphy.
She had to give up the idea of letting Xiao Jiangli play the piano for her.
Gu Jiao looked at the Fu Xiqin on the table, clicked on the piano case a few times with her fingertips, opened the piano case, and took out the Fu Xiqin with a scorched tail
Her slender fingers gently stroked the strings, but in the end she did not play, she put the Fuxi qin back, closed the case, got up and walked out of the hospital.
She went to the martial arts hall.
After months of martial arts challenges, she has gone from a junior martial artist to a great martial artist in the martial arts hall, and then she should be a grandmaster.
I heard that the total number of grandmasters in the whole capital is not more than one hand, which is very rare.
Of course, this is jargon, and for ordinary people, it is a group of martial arts masters.
When you reach the level of a grandmaster, it is rare to appear in the rivers and lakes, and there is a grandmaster in the Taihe Martial Arts Pavilion, but it is just a nominal position, Gu Jiao has been to the martial arts hall so many times, and she has never even seen a single hair of him.
The old marquis also came to the martial arts hall today, he didn't just come to watch Gu Jiao's martial arts competition, he also wanted to see if there were other powerful seedlings here, if he could probably discover a few, but since he had Gu Jiao, his vision has become picky.
It seems that it is difficult to find a young man who is so young, so talented, and able to control his murderous intentions.
He is a warrior on the battlefield, and he has killed countless people in this life, how can he not feel the desire to kill in a person?
The old marquis didn't know what his little brother had experienced, his desire to kill was so heavy, it was rare that he suppressed his desire to kill and didn't let himself become a murderer.
This is another reason why the old marquis admires Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao came down from the competition platform, and the old marquis also came out of the wing room on the second floor, and the two met in the lobby.
The old marquis looked at Gu Jiao with a smile and said, "Is today's competition over?" β
Gu Jiao nodded.
"You've improved a lot lately." Beyond his expectations, if he hadn't watched the little brother compare with each other, he would almost have thought that the little brother was a master before, but he had just lost his strength for some reason and was slowly recovering in some way.
The old marquis said again: "By the way, are you still practicing your marksmanship recently?" β
At the mention of this, Gu Jiao blinked.
The old marquis was slightly stunned: "Did you bring your red tassel gun?" β
Gu Jiao shook her head.
The old marquis didn't know that her red tassel gun had been lost as early as the night she saved the emperor, and he just thought that she had forgotten it at home, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, it just so happened that I brought you a new red tassel gun." β
Gu Jiao followed him to the backyard of the martial arts hall.
The old marquis's carriage stopped outside the back door, he went to the carriage and took a red tassel gun wrapped in red cloth, and handed it to Gu Jiao: "Try it." β
Gu Jiao took it and took it apart and took a look.
Wow!
It's the big guy she fancies in the barracks!
This red tassel gun is two inches longer than the ordinary red tassel gun, and the weight is heavier, the head of the gun flashes with cold light, Gu Jiao took it in her hand and tried a trick, as if you were a dragon, extremely domineering!
The old marquis's eyes unconsciously showed a little satisfaction.
Sure enough, his vision is very unique, and this red tassel gun of the famous general of Yan Country is very suitable for his little brother.
"Don't you feel heavy, do you?" He asked.
Gu Jiao shook her head.
She likes its weight, which has the potential to destroy and decay, and it also has the power to break a thousand pounds.
She played a few more tricks, and the more she played, the more satisfied she became.
She didn't like cold weapons before, but this red tassel gun was so much to her liking.
The old marquis has been observing her moves, and it is the set of marksmanship that he taught her, but that set of marksmanship is more suitable for ordinary red tassel guns, and it can't give full play to the maximum power of this red tassel gun.
"Little Brother Gu, you wait first." He walked over and said, "Give me the red tassel gun." β
Gu Jiao was having fun, smashed her mouth, and gave him the red tassel gun.
The old marquis took it, didn't do any bells and whistles, only made one move, his legs were slightly bent, his right hand held the root of the red tassel spear, close to his right waist, his left hand held the middle of the red tassel spear, the head of the spear was facing forward, and stabbed it out!
It seemed like a simple move, but at that moment, it was stunned with an infinite murderous aura, even the wind and sand were startled, and the leaves rustled.
Gu Jiao's mask was almost blown off.
She blinked her eyes, her eyes were shining, she took out a small notebook, and wrote in a smug voice: "What kind of trick is this?" β
The old marquis patiently explained: "This is called Zhongsi, which belongs to the Zhongping marksmanship, is the master of the Liuhe gun, and the spear has twenty-four potentials, which ranks first among all potentials, which seems simple, but in fact it is infinitely wonderful." If you don't practice anything else, just practice this trick. Come on, you try. β
Gu Jiao took the red tassel gun and tried it.
β¦β¦ Naturally, it's not standard.
The old marquis said: "Don't worry, take your time." β
Thinking that his master had let him practice this trick for five years, he didn't understand the master's deep meaning, and it was only after many years that he realized that the essence of marksmanship was all in this trick.
Gu Jiao practiced for a while, sweating profusely.
The old marquis felt that he had almost practiced today, and said to Gu Jiao: "Let's practice again another day, the hour is not early, is Little Brother Gu hungry?" I invite you to eat donkey meat, there is a donkey meat fire next door, little brother Gu should like it. β
Gu Jiao put up the red tassel gun in her arms, took out a small notebook and wrote: "I still have something to do at night, and I will go with you to eat donkey meat another day." β
"That's it." A trace of loss flashed in the old marquis's eyes.
Gu Jiao looked at him and wrote, "You seem to have something on your mind?" β
"No, no." Just looking for someone to drink something stuffy.
Gu Jiao continued to write: "We are brothers who worship the son, and there is nothing to talk about between brothers. β
Little Brother Gu is a trustworthy person, and the old marquis has really been bothered about this matter for a long time recently, and he can't make up his mind.
He hesitated, cleared his throat, and said to Gu Jiao: "Little brother Gu, if you have a friend." β
Came and went, had a friend.
Gu Jiao understands in seconds!
The old marquis opened his mouth, and then said: "If he wants to do something deviant, do you support it or not?" β
Gu Jiao wrote: "It depends on what kind of deviant thing it is. β
The old marquis cleared his throat: "For example...... Fly away with someone? β
Ah, the old man is going to elope with someone!
Gu Jiao wrote without hesitation: "Support! β
The old marquis looked stunned.
Isn't it, don't you hesitate? So sloppy?
Gu Jiao wrote down what she said when she peeked at the godfather's diary in her previous life: "Feelings are a matter of two people, as long as you like each other, you can find freedom together." β
You can't look for freedom in the organization, you can't like anyone, and you'll be punished by the godfather.
So why there is this sentence in the godfather's diary, Gu Jiao has always been puzzled.
Forget it, she's dead anyway and she'll never see her godfather again.
Gu Jiao continued to write: "Happy, happy, just, go, big, bold, chase, beg!" No, to, harm, fear, world, world, world, eye, light! β
The old marquis gasped: "In case of rejection......"
Gu Jiao wrote: "Refusal means that she doesn't like you, you can just die!" β
How do you have a tone with Gu Yan?
Are young people so smart now?
The old marquis's face did not change and said: "It's not me!" β
Gu Jiao: Oh.
When only one person affirms an idea, perhaps one's heart is not firm enough, but when more people affirm it, it can take root in the bottom of the heart.
Not to mention that he just asked two people casually, and what he got was the same answer, which shows that he was too worried in the past, and this matter was originally very simple.
He's going to take her out of the palace!
