In the palace, outside the south study, it was naturally impossible for An Huajin and Jiang Yunyi to say anything when they met, and after saying hello, they each stood aside, waiting for His Majesty to summon them.

An Huajin belongs to the Cui family and the Gu family, but he has no bones, and he doesn't want to stand after standing for a while, so he leans lazily on the pillar, supported by a thick pillar in his arms, and leans his weight on it.

"Little county lord, or the slave will take you to Xinuan Pavilion to sit for a while, there are refreshments there." The little eunuch who led the way asked in a low voice.

"No, you don't." An Huajin shook his head.

The little eunuch stood aside, afraid that she would be unable to wait, so he spoke to her intimately, "When I got up early, Mama He of Fengqi Palace sent someone to pass the word, saying that after the little county lord saw His Majesty, he would go to Fengqi Palace for a trip, and the queen mother had something to hand over to you." ”

"yes, I see." An Huajin nodded.

The little eunuch said, "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be dragon boat races outside the city, the Dragon Boat Festival is very lively, this year you are in the capital, catch up, you can wait for that day to see." ”

He didn't say it, An Huajin had forgotten that it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, so she smiled and nodded, "Thank you for reminding me." ”

The little eunuch smiled, "When you were in Nanyang, was the Dragon Boat Festival lively?" ”

"It's still very lively, everyone in the barracks cooked and made zongzi on that day, and then boiled them together in a big pot and rushed to eat them. The soldiers would set up a ring on the training ground, and whoever had the best martial arts would have three days off. An Huajin didn't mind talking to him about the Dragon Boat Festival of the Nanyang Army, "But some soldiers can't go home to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with their wives and children after they get the holiday, because they are too far away from home, so they can only eat a few more zongzi on the same day, and go to the street to let the caravan bring a few zongzi home." ”

"The zongzi are brought home, because of the long distance, isn't it already broken?" The little eunuch was puzzled.

An Huajin smiled, "Yes, the road is long, it will break, but what they carry is not zongzi, it is peace, and the family will be very happy when they see the zongzi they brought back, knowing that they are safe." ”

The little eunuch understood, "It's really hard for the Nanyang Army to protect the family and defend the country." ”

An Huajin threw him ten taels of silver, "Just rush your words, you should be rewarded!" ”

The little eunuch was shocked and immediately pushed back, "Little county master, the slave didn't say this to ask you for a reward. ”

"I know, it's okay, you can take it." An Huajin patted him on the shoulder, "Where is your home?" Who else is in the family? Can anyone join the army? ”

The little eunuch accepted the reward and tucked it into his sleeve, "I have a grandmother, a younger brother, and a younger sister at home, the younger brother is still young, and the younger sister is not big. They were in Xia Zhuangzi Village, thirty miles outside Beijing. Grandma was too old to do much work, so I brought money to my family every month to force them to live. ”

An Huajin nodded, it turned out that he had no father and no mother.

The little eunuch said shyly, "I have a low position, if I want to support my grandmother and younger siblings and live a good life, I have to work hard to rise again, and my monthly income will be high." ”

An Huajin smiled, "Then come on, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, a father-in-law who doesn't want to be promoted, and a father-in-law who is not the most promising." ”

The little eunuch smiled, "The slave will definitely work hard." ”

Jiang Yunyi stood aside, watching An Huajin and the little eunuch talk word by word, and his eyes were also smiling. Unlike the little girl she first met three years ago, the little girl who has grown up will never get lost in the palace again, she leans calmly and leisurely against the pillars outside the south study, as if staying under the pillars of her own garden, her eyebrows and eyes are breezy and white, and her words are gentle and gentle.

But it's such a little girl, no one dares to underestimate her, her power is hidden in an invisible place.

He was suddenly very curious, how did King Nanyang raise her for so many years, so that she would grow like this.

"Your Majesty has gone down to court!" The little eunuch developed the ability to see and listen to all directions in the palace, and immediately became disciplined.

An Huajin turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the guard of honor walking around the figure of the Ming Huang dragon robe, probably because Zhang Zaifu's case hit the Son of Heaven too much, so that An Huajin felt that His Majesty seemed to be much older than when she came to Beijing to meet.

Jiang Yunyi turned around and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!" An Huajin also greeted him decently.

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, glanced at the two of them with a smile, waved his hand behind him and said, "You all wait outside first." ”

"Yes!"

An huajin saw the seventh prince chu yan who came with the emperor as always, his eyebrows were dull and his face was expressionless, looking indifferent and cold. didn't even give her a look, as if she didn't know.

I don't know if he knows His Majesty's thoughts now, this face, I really can't see it.

"Xiao An'er, you come in with me." The emperor threw down a sentence and entered the south study.

An Huajin walked in and followed.

The emperor sat down and looked at her carefully, although the little girl has experienced a lot of frightening in the past month since she came to Beijing, but in the end she was born in Nanyang Palace, she is very tenacious, and she is not scared of a good thing, perhaps, she doesn't know how to write the words she is afraid of, and she is very well raised, and she is not depressed.

The emperor was satisfied, and waved her hand to sit down.

An Huajin sat down, looking a little obedient.

The emperor pondered and spoke, "I heard that you went to the Gu family as a guest two days ago?" ”

Here it comes! Your Majesty is really Your Majesty, he insisted on the marriage contract for eight years, and once the situation changed, he changed his mind first.

An Huajin nodded naturally, "Before coming to Beijing, my grandfather told me that when I came to the capital, in addition to meeting His Majesty and aunt, I also had to go to the Gu family to meet the elders." If it weren't for a lot of things, I should have gone a long time ago. dragged on to the day before yesterday, but fortunately, Grandpa Gu didn't blame him. ”

The emperor nodded, "I heard that the Gu family is treating you very grandly?" ”

"Hmm." An Huajin nodded, a little embarrassed, "The Gu family is too solemn, saying that when I came to the door for the first time, not only did the whole clan go, but they also gave me a meeting gift." I can't bear it, but I can't shirk it, it's always hard to resist. ”

The emperor was silent, "It seems that the Gu family likes you very much." ”

An Huajin was even more embarrassed, "I didn't dare to embarrass face to my grandfather and aunt, try my best to behave better." ”

The emperor was even more depressed when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

It stands to reason that the Gu family treated An Huajin like this, and he used to be happy to see it, but now it is different from the past, he is not happy, he is very depressed, he originally planned to cancel the marriage contract, but now that the Gu family is doing this, he can't mention it.

If An Huajin just went to the Gu family, he had to be ceremoniously received by the Gu family, and the next day he asked them to cancel the marriage contract, obviously slapping the Gu family in the face.

The face of the Gu family, even if he is the emperor and the respect of the Ninety-Five, he can't be beaten casually, and the consequences will be very serious.

It seems that this matter has to be considered in the long run, and the curve is plotting.

The emperor took a deep breath, "In recent days, it seems that you have gotten along well with Gu Qigongzi?" Have you changed your mind about recruiting a son-in-law now? ”

An Huajin was suddenly a little entangled, "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, I won't hide it from you, and I don't know it now." ”

"Oh? Why don't you know? The Emperor narrowed his eyes.

An Huajin sighed for a long time, as if he was very sad, his eyebrows were twisted into a cloud of sadness, and he was very bleak, "Hey, on the one hand, I want to keep the promise I made to myself after the death of my father and brother, and on the other hand, I feel that Gu Qigongzi is a little good, if I insist on recruiting a son-in-law, then he will definitely not be able to follow me, and the two of us will be in vain." I was reluctant. So, now I don't know what to do. ”

If there was no case of Zhang Zaifu, the emperor would have heard her words and would have reprimanded her for being greedy and wanting the best of both worlds, but now, His Majesty naturally doesn't think so, but feels that she can't make up her mind, very good, as long as An Huajin and Gu Qingyan don't get married immediately, he will have time to find a way to get them to cancel the marriage and let her marry Chu Yan.

The emperor was happy in his heart, but he naturally didn't show it on his face, and trained people with a stiff face, "You, you're still young." You know, you can't have both. ”

An Huajin frowned, "Then you say, what should I do?" Gu Qingyan is indeed very good. ”

Gu Qingyan is very good, who doesn't know that he is good? Your Majesty knows better!

The emperor softened his tone, "That's it, just the two of you are not too old, don't worry, you think about it more." ”

An Huajin nodded obediently.

The emperor wanted to take the opportunity to test it, and said, "Have you ever thought about changing people and not marrying Gu Qingyan?" He didn't directly raise Chu Yan, but asked in a roundabout way, "For example, the rest of the Gu family is also good." The children of the Gu family, as long as it is not Gu Qingyan, and the others are in charge, it is easy to discuss. ”

An Huajin immediately shook his head and said categorically, "No, if the Gu family is not Gu Qingyan, I won't consider anyone else." ”

"Why?"

An Huajin bit his lip, "Except for Wushan, it's not a cloud." ”

The Emperor frowned, "What do you think?" You mean, except for Gu Qingyan, you won't marry anyone? ”

"Not really." An Huajin shook his head, "I only said the Gu family, so as not to see other people and think of Gu Qingyan." If you really don't marry him, you have to stay away from this surname, and out of sight is pure. ”

The emperor's face was slightly pale, "So that's what it meant, I was startled." ”

An Hua Jin smiled, just to scare you on purpose.
