Chapter 62: Squeamish (1st Update)
The queen originally wanted to ask An Huajin about the emperor's idea of letting her marry Chu Yan, but now after listening to her words, she felt that there was no need to ask. Even if it is her own son, the queen can't say in good conscience that he is better than Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan's goodness is known to the world.
"Your Majesty is afraid that he will not give up." The queen also really loves An Huajin, kissing and kissing, it is naturally good for her niece to become a daughter-in-law, even if it doesn't work, it is also her own niece, she can also see it, "Although Your Majesty has an idea, there is a sentence that is right, you are still young, it is a matter of a lifetime, you really have to think about it, so as not to regret it in the future." ”
An Huajin hugged the queen and warmed her heart, "What my aunt said is that my aunt is the best for me." ”
The queen smiled and stretched out her hand to nod her eyebrows, "Let's go out of the palace after lunch today." ”
An Huajin nodded happily, "Listen to my aunt." ”
The aunt and nephew talked for a while, and someone outside said, "The Seventh Highness has come down." ”
The queen glanced out and said with a smile, "He hasn't come to dine with me for many days, and now he is planning to have lunch with me today, which is not easy." ”
An Huajin was not embarrassed, only muttered in a low voice, "Looking at the blandness of the seventh cousin, I can eat one less bowl of rice." ”
This can be regarded as an indirect statement.
The queen laughed, "Your seventh cousin was not like this when he was a child, he was a very lively child, but he was taught by His Majesty, and after he was seven or eight years old, he understood a lot of things, and he also understood that His Majesty didn't like him, so he gradually stopped laughing." ”
Saying that, she also sighed and became melancholy, "It's my uselessness as a mother, I have exhausted my strength to sit in the middle palace position, so naturally I don't have much time to care about him, and then he went out of the palace and established the mansion, self-reliance, and encountered a lot of difficulties, and he didn't tell me, gradually, even I couldn't figure out his mind, and it didn't become cute." ”
"I don't blame my aunt, who hasn't had a hard time in our Nanyang Mansion over the years." An Huajin was relieved, "Even if grandpa is not there in the future, as long as I am here, as long as Nanyang Jun is here, I will help the seventh cousin, aunt rest assured, the seventh cousin will get better and better." ”
"Well, I believe." The queen's heart was also warm.
Chu Yan entered the inner hall, and saw the two aunts and nephews sitting next to each other and talking, in his memory, his mother was dignified and virtuous, even if his own daughter Chu Xiyun, he didn't see them sitting in a row and whispering intimately, but An Huajin, the little girl three years ago, first entered the palace and came to this Fengqi Palace, it was like this next to his mother, aunt and nephew seemed to have endless words.
He greeted the queen with a blank face, "Hello Queen Mother!" ”
The queen nodded, "Why do you have time to come here today?" ”
Chu Yan looked at An Huajin at this time, "There is one thing I want to ask my cousin." ”
An Huajin looked like he didn't want to see Chu Yan, but he couldn't help but give face to deal with him, just like before, "Seventh cousin, say it!" ”
Chu Yan sat down, "My father told me that in the past two days, he sent someone to escort the military salary to Nanyang, saying that you recommended Jiang Yunyi?" ”
An Huajin sat up straight, "Yes, when His Majesty asked me, I recommended him. ”
"Why?"
An Huajin smiled, "Why doesn't the seventh cousin know?" ”
Chu Yan pursed his lips.
An Huajin snorted lightly, "Actually, I want my seventh cousin to go to Nanyang to have a look, you haven't been to Nanyang since you were born, right?" But if I recommend my seventh cousin, Your Majesty is afraid that he has other ideas, so I simply recommend Jiang Yunyi, he escorted the military salary, went to Nanyang, and went to Nanyang for you to see, it is not too much different from you going. ”
The queen understood a little and was surprised, "Jiang Yunyi is ......"
An Huajin whispered, "The person of the seventh cousin was three years ago. Three years ago, my seventh cousin and Jiang Yunyi had a private meeting in the cold palace, for fear that I would be known, and the seventh cousin knew that I was lost and couldn't find Fengqi Palace, so he ignored me and left, and then Jiang Yunyi showed me the way. ”
The queen knew that Chu Yan and An Huajin didn't like each other when they first met three years ago, so she didn't know what was going on, it turned out to be this incident. She was angry and laughed, "How can a man say a private meeting? You kid! ”
An Huajin stuck out his tongue, "I'm not wrong. ”
The queen couldn't laugh or cry.
Chu Yan's face was not very good-looking, but he still said, "Father and the emperor are approved, Lu Heng, Jiang Yunyi, and He Lan, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, will escort the military salary to Nanyang two days later." ”
An Huajin nodded, "If these three people are well chosen, there will definitely be no problems." ”
It was almost noon, and the queen ordered someone to set the meal.
As soon as Mama He went out, she turned her head and walked back, and whispered, "Gu Qigongzi sent someone to pass the word and asked the little county lord if he could go out of the palace together?" ”
An Huajin looked at the queen, a little embarrassed, "I told him to go out of the palace with him earlier, but now I have promised my aunt to stay here for lunch." ”
The queen laughed, "So what's there?" The simple inkstone is also there, so let him also come to the palace for lunch. ”
An Huajin nodded, "Okay! ”
When Mama He heard this, she immediately sent someone to reply.
Chu Yan sat on the side and had no opinions.
Not long after, Gu Qingyan came, at noon, the weather was hot, he did not hold an umbrella, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, after entering the Fengqi Palace to greet the queen, he smiled at An Huajin and asked, "I didn't bring a handkerchief, can you bring it?" Give it to me. ”
An Huajin didn't believe that he didn't bring a handkerchief, this person loves cleanliness the most, she had seen him carry several clean handkerchiefs in his sleeve for a day at any time, but at this time he would not break him, and immediately took out his own clean handkerchief and handed it to him.
Gu Qingyan took it, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said softly, "Can you bring an umbrella?" ”
"I didn't bring it. I'm not afraid of the sun, I'm naturally white, and I have a cool body temperature, and I can't tan. "Since I grew up in the Nanyang Army, if I am afraid of the sun, I don't need to practice my military posture. She was telling the truth.
Gu Qingyan nodded, "But I'm afraid of the sun, when I leave the palace for a while, I have to walk a long way from Fengqi Palace to the palace gate." When I entered the palace, I didn't think that I would come to Fengqi Palace to pick you up, and I didn't bring an umbrella, so I went all the way. ”
An Huajin heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegant meaning, turned his head to the queen and said, "Auntie, give us an umbrella in a moment." ”
The queen smiled, "Okay, when you leave in a while, let Mama He bring it to you." ”
Chu Yan glanced at Gu Qingyan deeply, he had never heard of him being afraid of the sun before.
Gu Qingyan calmly looked at him, and didn't feel at all how embarrassed a big man was to be afraid of the sun.
The queen frowned and said, "It has indeed not rained for more than a month on this day, Your Majesty ordered Qin Tianjian to ask for rain, why hasn't there been any movement?" ”
"When Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day, he said that it was set for tomorrow's noon." Chu Yan glanced out at the sky and asked Gu Qingyan, "Do you think Qin Tianjian begged for rain, how long will it rain?" ”
Gu Qingyan shook her head, "This year doesn't look like a drought year, but I don't know how long it will rain." ”
"It's not like a drought year." Chu Yan still believed in Gu Qingyan's inference very much.
"It's not a drought year, maybe there will be floods." Gu Qingyan's tone was calm.
Chu Yan was stunned, "With such a drought, how can it be waterlogged?" ”
"I just said maybe."
What Gu Qingyan said seemed to be gossip, but Chu Yan couldn't listen to it as gossip, his brows furrowed slightly, "Whether it's a big drought or a flood, it's not a good thing." ”
"Hmm." Gu Qingyan nodded, "This year's weather is not normal. ”
After lunch, An Huajin and Gu Qingyan got up to leave, and Mama He really took two umbrellas and handed them to An Huajin.
An Huajin didn't want it, so he only took a handful to Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan took it, thanked Mama He, held the umbrella with one hand, dragged An Huajin under the umbrella with the other, held an umbrella together, and left Fengqi Palace.
An Huajin tilted his head to look at him, "If you're like this, I might as well take another umbrella." ”
"How can it be the same if you hold an umbrella yourself and I hold an umbrella for you? The former is labor itself, and the latter is labor me. Gu Qingyan's voice was gentle and pleasant, "Besides, I hold the umbrella, you don't hold it, today we are out of the palace, and tomorrow the joke about me being more squeamish than my daughter's family will spread out, it's not good, with your cover, it doesn't matter." ”
Yo, he's still quite good-looking, and he knows that he's squeamish!
An Huajin teased, "My aunt and seventh cousin already know, aren't you afraid that they will laugh at you?" ”
"Don't be afraid."
An Huajin looked at him with an indescribable expression, "Actually, you don't have to be like this in front of my aunt and seventh cousin, the two of them, I don't think I have any idea of marrying my seventh cousin." It's just His Majesty's idea alone. ”
"There are no absolutes in everything, and it is better to cut off the mind from the root as early as possible." Gu Qingyan has a good reason.
All right! You look good, you have the final say.
An Hua Jin had nothing to say.
The two of them went out of the palace all the way, the scorching sun was sprinkled, and the stone bricks that were scorching the palace were steaming, dry and spicy, and the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went covered their faces with fans or sleeves. Gu Qingyan and An Huajin were holding umbrellas, which did not look exaggerated at all.
An Huajin said as he walked, "How many days is the Dragon Boat Festival?" ”
"Three days."
"It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival in Beijing is very lively?" An Huajin wanted to see and see, "Do you have any ideas for where to take me to play?" ”
"Yes, how about taking you to watch the dragon boat race during the day and taking a boat trip to the Quxiang River at night?" Gu Qingyan asked with a smile.
An Huajin nodded, "Okay." ”
