Chapter 102: Beware
He Guangling is a simple and straightforward person, Gu Huanyi didn't tell her too deeply, but said: "Before, the Tang family thought that my brother was dead, and it was enough to marry the Shen family, but now that my brother is back, he will not look up and see him in the capital, I am afraid that the people of the Tang family will not get along with my brother, and I want to ask you about what means." ”
He Guangling was surprised: "If Tang Duwei meets your brother, he will definitely be embarrassed, but he is a little Duwei, and he still dares to bully your family?" ”
Gu Huanyi said: "It's not that I'm afraid of Tang Duwei, but I heard that Mrs. Tang was a female official in the palace, I'm afraid she can go straight to the sky, do you know her details?" ”
"It's just a female officer." He Guangling was faintly angry, as if he looked down on Mrs. Tang very much.
He Guangling said: "Mrs. Tang used to be the female official in charge of the Queen Mother's side, and she was only released from the palace to marry when she was twenty-five years old, and married Master Tang, who was a guard of the forbidden army at that time. The Tang family has been inconspicuous in the capital for so many years, but five years ago, he suddenly married the Fang family, which many people couldn't imagine. My little aunt said that the Fang family sent Concubine Lan into the palace, and Mrs. Tang made a lot of efforts in the middle, and the Fang family probably wanted to borrow Mrs. Tang's connections in the palace to marry the daughter of the Tang family. ”
Gu Huanyi nodded secretly, this made sense.
Gu Huanyi saw that He Guangling had been wrinkling his nose and asked, "The two of them are married, why are you so angry?" ”
He Guangling said: "Originally, it had nothing to do with me! But I told my aunt that I didn't want to marry Jin Ying, and my father was just a five-grade petty official, and he couldn't afford to climb up to a family like the prime minister. But my little aunt took the Tang family as an example, saying that the Tang family is also a five-grade official, and Mrs. Tang, the daughter of a female official, can be the eldest daughter-in-law of the prime minister's family, why is her niece not worthy of the son of the current prime minister? ”
Gu Huan was speechless, he didn't expect to be able to compare marriages like this.
Speaking of Jin Ying, Gu Huanyi said to He Guangling: "On the day of the little prince's full moon ceremony, I suddenly felt unwell in the Wenlan Palace, you were so anxious that you were about to cry, when Jin Ying came to find us, I heard you praise Jin Ying again and again, as if I didn't dislike him as much as before." ”
He Guangling said embarrassedly: "It's an emergency, it's different." ”
Gu Huanyi smiled and said, "Isn't the great hero and manly husband you yearn for the kind of person you can rely on in times of emergency?" ”
This question made He Guangling a little unable to answer, but she still said awkwardly: "It's different anyway." ”
Gu Huanyi smiled and stopped forcing her.
Since Gu Jiayi came to live in the capital, it was inconvenient for Li Congxin to go to Gu Huanyi's place for dinner every day, and the two could not see each other every day.
came out of He Guangling, and Gu Huanyi asked Uncle Miao to send her to Zidezhai.
Li Congxin came back from his office in the evening, and when he heard that Gu Huanyi was coming, he said happily: "It seems that your brother's condition has improved, and you finally have the heart to think of me." ”
Gu Huanyi glanced at him with disgust and said, "When did I forget you?" You're getting jealous now. ”
used to eat Li Chengxu's vinegar, then Zheng Qing's vinegar, and now even her brother's vinegar has to be eaten, which is unreasonable.
Li Congxin smiled and quipped: "I hope that I am the only one in your heart." ”
Gu Huanyi wrung a towel for him to wipe his face and hands, and after he changed into home clothes, the two sat down to talk.
Li Congxin saw that she had specially dressed up today, so he asked, "Where are you from?" ”
Gu Huanyi said: "I went to find Sister He for something. ”
She told Li Congxin about the affairs between the Tang family, the Shen family, and the Fang family.
After listening to this, Li Congxin said to her: "When the Fang and Tang families married, the Queen Mother was still alive, and Mrs. Tang was able to speak in front of the Queen Mother. When Concubine Lan first entered the palace, she had the support of the Queen Mother and was proud for a while, so the Fang family's family affair was not a loss. But the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill and went within two years. Without the support of the Queen Mother, the Tang family and the Fang family are becoming more and more useless, so you don't have to pay too much attention to them. ”
Gu Huanyi didn't expect Li Congxin to know the details so well, and he knew that he would come to ask him directly.
She said: "Although the Queen Mother is gone, the Tang family will definitely have connections in the palace. Now that the relationship between Concubine Lan and Concubine Zhen is close, I am a little worried that King Xian and the Fang family will use Concubine Lan to be unfavorable to the little prince. ”
Li Congxin shook his head and said, "They won't do it at this time." Li Chengxu has been exiled, and if someone plots to kill the little prince, it will be good for me. ”
If something happens to the little prince, the first heir in line is Li Congxin, and the second heir in line is Li Hongye.
Hearing this, Gu Huanyi was even more worried: "It is precisely because you are the biggest beneficiary that you have to beware of someone plotting to kill the little prince and blame you." ”
Li Congxin nodded: "Don't worry, I have arrangements in the harem, and nothing will happen to me." ”
Since the war with Beiyi, the emperor reused the prince of King Jing and sent him to Beiyi, but Li Congxin was idle in the capital, which was to support Li Hongye and balance Li Congxin.
The emperor's way of employing people is to check and balance, and without the threat of King Xian, the emperor must beware of Li Congxin's dominance.
No matter how much trust there is between monarchs and ministers, suspicion and vigilance are still indispensable.
Li Congxin didn't want Gu Huanyi to worry too much about the harem, so he asked about her brother's physical condition instead.
Gu Huanyi said: "Although my brother was not as painful and crazy as before when he got sick, he was always groggy when he drank medicine every day, and he often had headaches and anxiety. Especially at night, it is difficult for him to fall asleep, and he will wake up suddenly after falling asleep. I heard Zheng Qing say that the sound of the piano can hypnotize and calm people, but I don't know if what he said is true or not, has the son ever heard such a statement? ”
Li Congxin said: "There are indeed people in the rivers and lakes who specialize in learning the art of musical instrument hypnosis, but this kind of thing is extremely dangerous, and it will be controlled by people after hypnosis, unless it is a trusted person, otherwise you must not try." ”
Gu Huanyi nodded and said: "I naturally can't trust the people outside, I want to take Feng Huajun back to Beijing, although he can't hypnotize, but he is a first-class pianist, with him by his side, it should be beneficial for my brother to quit cold ice powder." ”
Li Congxin has no opinion on this arrangement.
Now that there is no threat from Li Chengxu, Feng Huajun can re-enter Beijing, Gu Huanyi's only concern is Song Xiangjun, and I don't know where she is now......
At the end of October, Master Song returned to Beijing from Hengzhou, and after Gu Huanyi got the news, he went to Song's house with his brother to meet his uncle.
When Master Song heard about Gu Jiayi's survival, he was very emotional, and when he thought of his daughter whose whereabouts were unknown, his feelings were even more complicated.
The family continued to talk in Mrs. Song's room, and Mrs. Song saw that Master Song was obviously on her mind, so she said: "You are in a hurry today, you don't have to sit here with a strong spirit, go down and rest, your uncle and nephew will have a chance to speak in the future." ”
Master Song got up and was about to say goodbye, thought about it for a while, and said, "Huan'er come with me, my uncle has a few words to ask." ”
Gu Huanyi immediately got up, estimating that it was Song Xiangjun's business.
