Gu Chuyu is no stranger to this name, "Why is she among the candidates?" ”

"Do you know the girl?" Wei Shuying was curious.

"Li Daoyuan has the grace of knowing Xiao Xiao, if she is in Beijing, will Li Qingqing be sent to the palace?" After Gu Chuyu finished speaking, he instructed Xingyun, "The book of the Ministry of Household and the Book of Rites." ”

"Yes." Xingyun led the order to do it.

Half an hour later, before Wei Shuying and Gu Chuyu finished a game of chess, the two Shangshu lords had already dressed neatly and walked out of the pavilion to salute: "I have seen the prime minister." ”

Gu Chuyu watched the chess game and asked, "Has the matter of the show girl entering the palace been arranged?" ”

The two Shangshu were still kneeling on the ground, looking at each other, in the clouds, because the draft has always been the thing that His Majesty cares about the most, and the Prime Minister cares the least, the Prime Minister asked about the draft for the first time, and it should have another purpose.

The Ministry of Rites replied: "Lord Hui, all the arrangements have been made, and the thirty-two girls who should be drafted have all been sent to the palace." ”

"Hubu Shangshu, you should tell me, you choose a beautiful girl for Your Majesty, what is the basis?"

"Hui Xiangye, the ministers and officials of the Ministry of Rites selected among the registered school-age women, and selected thirty-two people with good family backgrounds and good looks based on their family background and appearance."

"Good family background?" Gu Chuyu glanced at the head of the household department and said, "No matter how you fancy the family background of the daughter of the prefect of Xuanzhou, remove her name and send her back." ”

"The daughter of the prefect of Xuanzhou?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pondered for a while, suddenly remembered this person, and hurriedly said, "Xiangye, this woman is not chosen by the ministers, but ...... It was hand-picked by His Majesty. ”

Wei Shuying couldn't help but smile, "Your Majesty hand-picked? The two Shangshu adults have a daughter, and His Majesty may not know, will he know that the Xuanzhou prefect has a daughter? ”

"Xiangye, I heard that Your Majesty had seen the portrait of this woman before, and I liked this woman very much, and I specially sent the minister to the Li Mansion to see it." The more he spoke, the more helpless he became, "Miss Li is a show girl appointed by His Majesty, and the minister will not dare to detain the person His Majesty likes and not give ......"

"Then it's not going to be easy." Wei Shuying took the chess pieces and knocked them on the table.

Waiting for Gu Chuyu to order the two ministers to retreat, Wei Shuying sighed: "Xiao Yu'er, she has already entered the palace, and she is a girl that His Majesty looks at, I am afraid of ......"

He looked at Gu Chuyu, thinking that he should be able to understand without him breaking Xiao Yu'er, this is like a plate of food has been placed in front of him, and no one will not eat it tomorrow morning.

"If you have any ideas, let's hear them."

"We are all foreign ministers, and there is no way to do anything in the palace, but I know that there is someone who will be able to protect the innocence of that girl." Wei Shuying continued, "How to get Miss Li out of the palace is a matter of later thought, and the top priority is to intercept this dish under His Majesty's chopsticks." ”

Gu Chuyu raised his eyes, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Princess Haoyang! She is a little girl, and she can come back unscathed in the hands of the lascivious Xia Jun, I think there must be a reason behind it, and it is not Xia Jun's reason. Wei Shuying smiled and said, "But that little girl is very stubborn, I'm afraid she will only be willing to buy it if you go in person." ”

Gu Chuyu glanced at Wei Shuying.

Wei Shuying looked at him, "Tut-tut, don't be unhappy, hurry up and finish this matter and take it to invite credit." ”

Xixiang Gate, located in the northwest of the imperial city, is rarely visited because of its remoteness.

Haoyang received the news an hour ago, and hurriedly chose clothes, changed clothes, and dressed up, but he was still too late.

She took her personal palace maid to walk forward in the palace road, hurried to the vicinity of Xixiang Gate, looked up, and saw the figure standing outside the palace gate.

Haoyang stopped, took the rhombic glasses handed by the palace maid, carefully took care of the makeup and hair accessories, and carefully adjusted every inappropriate place.

After the palace maid took care of her clothes and everything was ready, Haoyang slowly moved and walked towards Gu Chuyu, who was waiting outside the palace gate, with a dignified and reserved attitude.

"Brother Yu."

Haoyang shouted behind Gu Chuyu, and when he turned around, she bowed, "Brother Yu, long time no see." ”

Gu Chuyu turned around and responded politely: "Princess, don't come unharmed?" ”

Haoyang shook his head and said with a bitter face: "I'm not good, I'm not happy, since I came back, I was locked up in the palace by the Queen Mother, and I can't go anywhere, the Queen Mother also said that she wanted to show me family affairs, but I don't want to marry anyone!" ”

"The Queen Mother is for the good of the princess."

Haoyang looked at Gu Chuyu with a smile, bit his lower lip, and asked, "Brother Yu, did you come to see me specially?" ”

Gu Chuyu would not say anything against his will to please anyone, and said bluntly: "I have something I want to ask the princess for help." ”

"You say, as long as I can do it, I will never give up." Haoyang agreed simply.

"There is a woman named Li Qingqing among the show girls who entered the palace today, and I hope the princess can help her avoid His Majesty's grace."

Haoyang frowned, "Help the show girl avoid grace?" Why, don't the show girls all look forward to His Majesty's mercy so that they can fly on the branches? ”

Gu Chuyu didn't answer, but said: "This is the only thing, if the princess is willing, I thank you here; If you don't want to, thank you for the princess's willingness to come to the appointment today. ”

Haoyang was still frowning, and said slowly: "Willing is willing, but I want to ask, does she have any friendship with Brother Yu?" There are so many show girls, why does Brother Yu only remember her and ask me to help her...... Help her keep her innocence? ”

"It's just a matter of being entrusted by someone."

This answer is quite good, Haoyang nodded, "Okay, Brother Yu's friend is my friend, and her business is on me!" ”

"Thank you, princess."

"Brother Yu is out of sight." The smile on Haoyang's face did not decrease, it was rare for him to come to her, so she didn't want him to leave like this, so she continued to find a message to keep someone, "Brother Yu, I heard that Wei Shuying and his wife reconciled?" ”

"Hmm."

"Why?" Haoyang was puzzled.

Gu Chuyu replied: "I don't know, maybe it's the end of fate." ”

Haoyang looked down at his dress, and asked with a smile: "Brother Yu, do you think that I have changed a lot since I came back?" ”

Gu Chuyu didn't pay attention to anyone's dress, at a glance, the appearance was still like that, there was no change, he only noticed from her words and demeanor that her heart was somewhat restrained, I don't know if it was true or deliberate.

Gu Chuyu said: "The princess has grown up, and she should be more sensible than before." ”

Haoyang lowered his eyes and said timidly, "Then you...... Do you like the way I look sensible? ”

"Princess, I still have political matters, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave first."

Haoyang didn't get the answer she wanted this time, and when she looked up, everyone was gone, and her heart sank to the bottom.

When the carriage was far away, she slammed the handkerchief that she had been stirring in her hand for a long time on the ground, "What is wrong with me!" ”

The palace maid persuaded: "Don't worry, princess. ”

"Can I not be anxious, the Queen Mother and the Duke of Wei have been discussing to marry me all day long, I don't want to marry, but can I resist them?" Haoyang's expression was like ice, and his words were also icy, "I crawled out of the quagmire, if I can't marry Brother Yu, how can I be willing!" ”
