Jiang Gonggong, the chief administrator of the Ouchi who was guarding his side, observed his words, walked down the steps with his body bowed, and quietly asked the four princes to leave.

Seeing this, Li Xi had no choice but to kneel down and retreat.

When Li Xi left, the emperor slowly and methodically opened the pile of folds on the table, and said casually while flipping through it: "It's not that I didn't let the Ministry of Rites choose someone for you before, but you didn't look at it, and I thought that you Gu Yutang really didn't have that kind of mind." ”

The emperor said, raising his gaze: "Tell me, what kind of beauty can make you Gu Xiaohou such a piece of elm move his heart?" ”

When he heard the emperor say the word "beauty", Gu Yutang couldn't help but think of Ruan Huai's light chestnut eyes, which were so beautiful that they could easily make people think of vulgarity.

Gu Yutang seemed to be quite unhappy with her face in his mind, frowned, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's just a one-sided relationship, and it can't be talked about." ”

But the emperor smiled meaningfully, obviously listening to the "one-sided relationship" in his mouth as a "one-night affair".

"That's it." The emperor closed the fold in his hand and changed the subject, "After a while, the envoy of Pingguo will come, go back and prepare for the winter hunt, and then I will count on you to fight with King Hanjun." ”

Gu Yutang responded lightly, and then retired.

At that time, Gu Funei.

The culprit, Ruan Huai, said that he had a splitting headache after waking up from drinking, and he stayed in the house early in the morning drinking decoction, and did not go to the front hall to eat as usual.

It's just that Gu Yutang and the four princes had a dispute in the ghost market last night, and the trouble was known all over the city, especially when the early dynasty was in the early dynasty, the four princes also impeached Gu Yutang in front of the Manchu dynasty civil and military, so that after retiring from the early dynasty, the emperor left the two people alone, and the civil and military officials discussed it, but Gu Yufeng didn't have the heart to get involved, he didn't even go to the Hanlin Academy, so he went back to the Gu Mansion with a heavy heart.

Gu Yufeng learned from the people below that Ruan Huai had a splitting headache after waking up in the morning, and after drinking the medicine, he felt that the house was stuffy, so he went to the library.

Hearing this, Gu Yufeng went to the library again and pushed open the door.

On the side of the window sill, there are snow-covered begonia trees outside the half-open window, swaying in the wind, and the air is cold and quiet.

Ruan Huai was sitting on the back of the couch, wearing a snow-white short-haired soft jacket, hanging down his beautiful shoulders and neck, holding a roll of indigo paper in his thin white hand, his fingertips were bent, scratching the corners of the page, and he was slowly flipping through it.

Hearing footsteps, Ruan Huai raised his head.

She didn't seem to be in good spirits, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, and she barely raised her eyelids a little sleepily and watched him come over.

"Is Huai'er still uncomfortable?" Gu Yufeng stopped on the edge of the couch, looked down at her and asked with concern.

Ruan Huai still didn't speak loudly enough, shook his head and said, "I'm better after drinking the medicine." ”

"It's because I'm not considerate enough to forget that Huai'er can't drink alcohol." After Gu Yufeng finished speaking guiltily, he mentioned to Ruan Huai the uproar in the court in the morning, and then cut to the chase without any transition, staring at Ruan Huai for a moment and asking, "Huai'er, did you go to the ghost market with Yu Tang last night?" ”

Ruan Huai asked frankly and directly, "Can't you go to the ghost market?" ”

When she asked this, her voice sounded peaceful, as if she was really just asking him a serious question.

Therefore, Gu Yufeng frowned slightly, and after a while he reined in his emotions, he did not answer directly, "Is it okay", but said gently: "Don't go in the future." ”
