Chapter 25: Disclosure
Lord Zhuo was accompanied by him, and seeing that Li Chengxu was annoyed, he hurriedly said: "On the eve of the funeral, Miss Gu's every move was noticed, because you should be careful, otherwise there will be some bad comments, and the emperor will not look good." ”
Li Chengxu said with a dark face: "Then you go." ”
Gu Huanyi's carriage stopped on the street on the side of the General's Mansion, and when she walked over, her own coachman was talking to Li Chengxu's coachman.
Seeing Gu Huanyi coming, the two hurriedly jumped down from the wheel and waited with their heads down.
Gu Huanyi walked in front of Li Chengxu's coachman, paused slightly, this person immediately looked up at her, and took the initiative to ask for peace: "Little Yang Xin to say hello to Miss Gu." ”
Yang Xin.
Gu Huanyi asked, "Are you the chauffeur of the prince of Xianwang?" If you go out early and return late, you've worked hard. ”
Yang Xin bowed his waist and said: "This is the duty of a villain, it's not hard, Miss Xie cares." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded, didn't say much to him, and boarded the car to go back.
When she arrived at her yard, she got out of the car and said to Uncle Miao, the coachman: "Tie up the car and come to the inner yard, I have something to ask." ”
Uncle Miao is Mama Miao's husband and an old man in Gufu, and he is worthy of her trust.
Uncle Miao came to see Gu Huanyi after a short time, and Gu Huanyi asked straight to the point: "What did the chauffeur of the Xianwang Shizi, the one named Yang Xin, tell you?" ”
Uncle Miao is an honest man, and there are no twists and turns in his heart, and he said: "He asked me if I was free at night, and wanted me to take him to eat and drink, saying that he was a foreigner and didn't know which restaurant was good." I thought that the young lady didn't want to have anything to do with the prince of Xianwang, so I said that I was not available. ”
Gu Huanyi said: "He took the initiative to get close to you, so you should accept it, but you have to avoid some people." If he tells you something, you have to come back and tell me a word. ”
Uncle Miao was a little surprised, even though he was an honest person, he could hear that the things that the young lady ordered had ulterior motives.
Approaching the day of the funeral, Liu Pei came to Liangzhou in advance and told Gu Huanyi that his son would arrive in Liangzhou with the emperor on the 12th, and he could not come to see her because he had to accompany him.
Gu Huanyi asked, "Is the prince okay in the imperial capital recently?" ”
Liu Pei didn't hide it from her, saying: "Earlier, I was punished for contradicting the emperor with my words, but recently I came out on top because of the spring examination and was praised by the emperor, in general, everything is fine." ”
The royal family will hold the Spring and Autumn Examination every year, just like the imperial examination, and accept the emperor's personal verification.
This is the rule set by Emperor Yuan when he reformed, so as not to let the children of the clan be lazy and not want to make progress.
Hearing that Li Congxin won the first place in the spring exam, Gu Huanyi was very happy and said, "It's okay." ”
She asked again, "How did the prince of Xianwang do in the spring exam?" ”
Liu Pei was slightly stunned, and he didn't know why Gu Huanyi cared about others, but he had to say truthfully: "The son of King Xian is also very good in schoolwork, second only to our son." ”
Gu Huanyi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Li Chengxu was not a straw bag, but a person with some ability.
In this way, it is not good.
Li Congxin is unwilling to be an heir now, so the emperor can only choose others, Li Chengxu is outstanding in schoolwork, and he received the errand of the Yiyong Temple, which shows that the emperor is also very important.
And in terms of the ranking of the eldest and youngest, he is second only to Li Congxin.
In any way, Lee Sung-wook is now the best candidate for the heir.
Gu Huanyi was a little uneasy, she kept giving Li Chengxu a look on her face because of the concubine in the prophecy letter, she offended him ruthlessly, what if he inherited the unification in the end?
Thinking of this, Gu Huanyi was a little absent-minded when he talked to Liu Pei: "You tell the prince that everything is fine here for me." Nowadays, there are many people in Liangzhou, if there is nothing important, you don't have to come. ”
"Yes." Liu Pei looked at her a few times and then retreated silently.
Sending Liu Pei away, Gu Huanyi called Song Ping and asked him to buy some good mountain treasures and send them to the prince of Xianwang.
"The beginning of spring is the season to eat mountain delicacies, so I said that this is a little bit of my heart as the host, and I thank the son of Xianwang for his dedication to the construction of the Yiyong Temple."
The gift was quickly delivered to Li Chengxu, he glanced at the box presented by his subordinates, did not look carefully, and sneered: "This Miss Gu is interesting, she is good at pushing and pulling, when I am those hairy boys in Liangzhou?" Leave it alone. ”
On the other hand, after Liu Pei returned to Beijing, he thought about it again and again, but still took the risk of provoking trouble and conveyed Gu Huanyi's words and deeds to Li Congxin.
"Miss Gu asked about the results of the spring examination of the prince of Xianwang, and then asked the housekeeper Song Ping to send a gift, saying that she was thanking the prince of Xianwang for his hard work in building the Righteous and Brave Temple."
Li Congxin was a little unhappy when he heard this.
Since he found out that Gu Huanyi inevitably met Li Chengxu, he knew that fate could not make Gu Huanyi and Li Chengxu break off their relationship as he expected most.
So he also decided to take the initiative to get close to her during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival to hint at her.
He did it so obviously, she wouldn't not know his intentions, but she still chose to show favor to Li Chengxu......
Li Congxin remembered his previous life, he once asked Gu Huanyi at that time, obviously he didn't like Li Chengxu, why he agreed to be his concubine.
At that time, Gu Huanyi said that because Li Chengxu was in a high position, he could help her take revenge.
Although the circumstances are different, people are still alone, will she think the same at this time as she did then?
Li Congxin has always known that Gu Huanyi is a person with a strong purpose, she is close to herself, and her overtures to Li Chengxu have a purpose.
Could it be that she thinks that Li Chengxu's future is better than her own, and she decided to switch to someone else?
Li Congxin couldn't hold back when he thought of this.
"You tell Yang Xin and let him tell Miss Gu what he investigated, you don't have to say it too thoroughly, just stop at the point."
Liu Pei received the order and immediately arranged it.
The Holy Lord had to fast for three days before the funeral, so the Holy Driver would arrive in Liangzhou on March 12 to prepare.
On this day, Gu Huanyi got up before dawn and followed the officials of Liangzhou and the Ministry of Rites to the city gate to greet the holy driver.
The scouts who reported the news came one after another, and Gu Huanyi waited from before dawn until noon, only to see the bright yellow flags and the smoke and dust of the convoy appear in the distance.
No one dared to complain about the person who took over, and Gu Huanyi had to endure it.
She stood at the end of the crowd, and when the emperor arrived at the city gate to be bowed down, she couldn't even see the emperor's shadow.
After receiving the car, the people lined up on both sides and knelt down to send the holy car into the city.
As soon as the emperor's ceremonial drive entered the city, the people waiting on both sides of the street knelt down and shouted, and the sound of long live spread like waves, deafening.
Gu Huanyi looked up after the holy car passed, trying to find out where Li Congxin was, but she couldn't see it at all.
Disappointed when she returned home, she was really a little tired, so she made up for sleep, but she slept too much in the afternoon, and couldn't sleep at night, so she lit the lamp to deal with the affairs of the house.
Today, the prince of Xianwang is with the emperor all day long, and the coachman Yang Xin is free to ask Uncle Miao to have wine.
When Uncle Miao came back from eating and drinking outside, he saw that the light was still on in Gu Huanyi's room, so he said that he had something important to do.
"Yang Xin said that he heard the prince of Xianwang talking with people in the carriage and mentioned the Beiyi people, but he didn't hear what kind of dealings the prince of Xianwang had with the Beiyi people, and he was still investigating......"
