Gu Qingyan naturally didn't care about Chu Siyan's whereabouts, so he naturally didn't know that Chu Siyan was angered by Chu Chen's document to serve in the Imperial Historical Observatory, and sent him out of the capital to Nanyang to find An Huajin.

Chu Siyan's departure from Beijing was silent, without making a splash.

After the court meeting, the emperor called Gu Qingyan to the south study.

The emperor looked at Gu Qingyan, and saw that his complexion was fine, his eyebrows were gentle, and he was not haggard, depressed, depressed and depressed because of An Huajin's departure, he couldn't understand whether the relationship between the two was good or bad now, so he planned to ask straight to the point.

"Huai'an, you went to chase Xiao An'er yesterday, only to Qingping Town?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after she left Beijing, she felt that she couldn't say goodbye to the minister, so she waited for the minister in Qingping Town." Gu Qingyan smiled warmly,

The Emperor frowned, "Why didn't she say goodbye?" ”

Gu Qingyan touched her nose, "It was the minister who made her angry, plus she was homesick, and she was impulsive, so she planned to go home, but after leaving the capital, she still waited for the minister to say goodbye in Qingping Town before leaving." ”

The emperor looked at him, "Did she live in Qingping Town yesterday?" Do you also live in Qingping Town? ”

Gu Qingyan lowered his head, his face was a little red, "Yes." ”

"Is it living in a yard?" The emperor asked.

Not only one yard, but also one room! But he can't say.

Gu Qingyan nodded, "It's a courtyard." ”

The emperor was immediately furious, "Gu Qingyan, even if she doesn't understand etiquette, you know best." You are an unmarried couple, but how can you mess around? ”

Gu Qingyan didn't defend either, and lowered his head to admit his guilt, "Your Majesty taught you a lesson." ”

His attitude of confessing his guilt was too good and too fast, and the emperor choked, full of anger, and didn't know what to say for a while. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Since she is waiting for you to go, you have reconciled?" ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, "It's not right, it's not right to accompany the little county lord, and the little county lord is easy to talk to, so he will reconcile." ”

The emperor took a deep breath and waved his hand at him, "That's it, since you know that you are wrong, this matter has been revealed, and I don't blame you. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured."

The emperor waved his hand, handled it gently, Gu Qingyan smiled and retired, and walked out of the south study.

Outside the south study, Chu Yan had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Gu Qingyan coming out, he said to him, "Lord Gu, the queen mother is invited." Please come with me to see the Queen Mother. ”

Gu Qingyan nodded.

The two of them went to Fengqi Palace together.

It was far away from the south study, and when there was no one on the road, Chu Yan spoke, "How did Master Gu provoke my cousin?" Sent her back to Nanyang angrily? Can you tell us? ”

Gu Qingyan said softly, "Is His Highness the Seventh curious? ”

Chu Yan was expressionless, "A little." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "She said that staying in the capital, Your Majesty always wants to cancel our marriage contract, it is better to go back to Nanyang and let Your Majesty stop a little." ”

Chu Yan glanced at him, "When will she come again?" ”

"Qixi Festival, she said to come to Beijing to accompany me for Qixi Festival." Gu Qingyan smiled with a smile, "It's only two months, and it's not too long." ”

Chu Yan bowed his head and stopped talking.

In Fengqi Palace, the queen heard that An Huajin had returned to Nanyang without saying a word, and her first thought was not to be angry, but to panic Nanyang, did something big happen? But after sending someone to inquire, after knowing that nothing major had happened in Nanyang, she was very angry, and vaguely heard Gu Qingyan chasing her out of the city, thinking that she didn't even tell Gu Qingyan, this was a fight between two people?

She endured it all night and half a day, and endured until Gu Qingyan got off the court meeting, and immediately sent someone to Chu Yan to send a message and asked him to bring Gu Qingyan to Fengqi Palace to inquire.

Now, I can only ask Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan and Chu Yan came to Fengqi Palace together, and after taking a seat to greet the queen, without waiting for the queen to speak, she said softly, "The queen mother is asking why the little princess suddenly left Beijing, right?" First, she had a temper with the minister, and the minister provoked her, and second, she felt that it was not interesting to stay in the capital anymore, so she went back to Nanyang. ”

Naturally, he wouldn't say that Shen Yuanzhi was in charge of An Huajin, and he didn't want to mention this name.

The queen's anger had already disappeared at this time, and she was very puzzled, "So that's the case, you have always had a good temper, why did you provoke her?" actually made her want to go back to Nanyang in a fit of anger? ”

Chu Yan glanced at Gu Qingyan.

Gu Qingyan received Chu Yan's meaningful eyes, smiled and rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was very helpless, "Since the Duanyang Festival, the little county lord has always felt uncomfortable when he sees the minister, and the reason is that the matter of his daughter's family, the minister is not easy to say. ”

Chu Yan turned his head, no longer looked at Gu Qingyan, and returned to expressionlessness.

The queen remembered the day of the Duanyang Festival, it seemed that Gu Qingyan invited Doctor Chen to An Huajin, because of Kwai Shui, she suddenly made up a lot of unspeakable things in her daughter's family, if because of this, no matter how thick-skinned An Huajin is, in the end, it is her daughter's family, and it is normal to lose her temper uncomfortably, Gu Qingyan is indeed difficult to say tenderly.

She immediately smiled, "Okay, this palace knows, it's hard for Lord Gu to come here." ”

"The queen is polite."

The two of them walked out of Fengqi Palace and walked to no one's place, Chu Yan said coldly, "Lord Gu really knows how to grasp people's minds, one word in front of me, another word in front of the queen mother, presumably in front of the father and the emperor, and it is different from what the two of us say, right?" ”

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "It's just the way to survive, from childhood to adulthood, His Royal Highness doesn't say the same thing to everyone." ”

Chu Yan was a little more cold, "Lord Gu is like this, I think it's a good thing for my cousin to leave Beijing and return to Nanyang." If she stays in the capital any longer, I'm afraid that you will eat and there will be no bones left. ”

Gu Qingyan looked stunned, raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "Is His Highness the Seventh looking at me like this?" ”

"Am I mistaken, Master Gu?" Chu Yan paused, "Perhaps, I was really wrong before." ”

Gu Qingyan, the seventh son of the Gu family, compared with the present, except for the high official position now, does not look much different, gentle and courteous, elegant and calm, although he is not arrogant, but he has pride in his bones. But he vaguely saw the difference between him and An Huajin from his treatment of An Huajin, although he couldn't study it in detail, but he could guess it.

"Why did my cousin leave Beijing, I'm afraid I don't want to stay any longer and fall into the depths, right?" Chu Yan stood with his hands covered, "Master Gu used her mind, she knew that she was not your opponent, so she naturally fled." ”

Gu Qingyan also stood with his hands crossed, his voice was light, "It is very inappropriate for His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness to use the word escape. The little county lord walked very chicly, and when I caught up with her, she chartered an independent courtyard in an inn in Qingping Town, and deliberately waited for me with melon seeds and fruits. When I saw her, she looked very nice and calm. ”

Chu Yan's face was pale, "So, is Lord Gu deeply trapped?" ”

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "If His Royal Highness understands it like this, it's okay." ”

Chu Yan turned around and continued to walk forward, saying expressionlessly, "If Master Gu is really trapped, he will chase Nanyang regardless of it." People with deep affection, I have seen a lot of people over the years, in this Beijing, there are people who elope with people every three or five times, people who commit suicide because of love, and people who are not allowed to join the river together. I have never seen Lord Gu like this, and today at the court meeting, his demeanor is still the same, and he will not be affected. ”

"The little county lord doesn't want me to go to Nanyang, so naturally I can't ignore it." Gu Qingyan hooked his lips, "His Royal Highness the Seventh has never been a person who talks a lot, but today he has talked a lot. ”

Chu Yan paused.

Gu Qingyan was calm, "His Royal Highness doesn't like the little county lord to leave the capital and return to Nanyang, right?" There is a little county lord in the capital, blocking many open knives and hidden arrows for the Seventh Highness, the Seventh Highness has been very smooth sailing recently, as soon as the little county lord leaves, the sight on her will be transferred to the Seventh Highness again in a few days. His Royal Highness the Seventh has emotions, and it should be. ”

Chu Yan glanced at Gu Qingyan with no emotion in her eyes, "I thought she would wait to see Su Han." After all, Anjia and Zhenbei Wangfu have some old favors. I heard from my cousin that Princess Zhenbei said that she wanted to get married in the past. ”

Gu Qingyan narrowed his eyes, but he didn't expect when An Huajin would tell Chu Yan about this, it seems that he underestimated the status of Chu Yan's cousin in An Huajin's heart, and even gave him a preventive injection in advance, "Presumably His Royal Highness the Seventh is wrong, she doesn't want to see it at all." ”

"Yes!" Chu Yan turned around and stopped talking.

The two said goodbye at the gate of the palace, Gu Qingyan got into the carriage and went to the Ministry of Officials, and Chu Yan went to the Ministry of Households.
