This west garden is located in the western suburbs of the capital, was built during the reign of the first emperor, compared with the imperial garden in this palace, it is much grandiose, and even some real mountains and rivers in the western suburbs are accommodated. During the reign of the first emperor, the longest place to live was not the Dayan Palace, but the West Garden. I heard that there is also a whole street scene of commercial transactions in the West Garden, which is used for amusement and entertainment.
When Gu Qingwan heard this, her face immediately showed surprise, but in a blink of an eye she asked again, "I wonder which other sisters serve the emperor with me?" β
Gong Ruhai bowed and replied: "Back to the Lord, there is also Luo Xiuhua." β
Gu Qingwan nodded with great satisfaction, and asked Shui Bi to scoop things up for Gong Ruhai. Gong Ruhai was shocked when he saw the delicate snuffbox in his hand, but then accepted it calmly.
Because he is the emperor's close attendant, even his own hobbies are hidden by his heart. But I didn't expect this Gu Ronghua to know everything about it, this Gu Ronghua was reminding himself, after all, he was selected by the Empress Dowager Duanzhang to the emperor's side back then.
This matter of Gu Qingwan and Mu Luozhi driving to Xiyuan spread in the palace before the second night. It is estimated that I don't know how many handkerchiefs were torn and how many porcelain were dropped in this palace.
And in the evening, the queen sent Red Sleeves over, and on the second day, she didn't need to ask for peace, just pack up and get out. Of course, the original words of the red sleeves are unusually tactful, but the meaning is this.
The emperor's trip, although it is equivalent to an autumn tour, is also a great move. Gu Qingwan first drove to the gate of this palace, and then changed the frame.
However, she looked at the person next to her car who was escorting her, and couldn't help but frown, she looked at Gu Qingzong who was wearing armor and said with a solemn face: "I'm tired of Lord Gu." β
Gu Qingzong's face finally showed a smile, he looked at his sister who had a good complexion and a delicate appearance, and bowed down and said, "It is the duty of the minister to protect the lord. β
At this time, Mu Luozhi also came over with Ling'er's hand, her car was behind Gu Qingwan, she looked at Gu Qingwan to be very polite to this military attachΓ©-looking person, and said with a smile on her face: "Sister is really kind, even to these guards is polite." β
Gu Qingzong glanced at Mu Luozhi, and then knelt down on one knee and asked, "Minister, Gu Qingzong, I have seen Lord Xiuhua." β
When Mu Luozhi heard this name, her face was embarrassed for a while, she originally wanted to sarcastically ridicule Gu Qingwan for disregarding the dignity of the concubine and talking to a guard. Unexpectedly, this is her own brother, she grew up in the capital, and she is naturally no stranger to this Gu family.
This Gu Qingzong was the deputy chief of the cavalry at a young age, responsible for the emperor's travel, this is the real son's close minister. Mu Luozhi looked at the heroic and righteous Gu Qingzong, and remembered that the elder brother who knew about gambling money and walked horses to brothels at home was about to crush the handkerchief in his hand.
But in a moment, her face returned to her previous gentleness, and said, "It turned out to be Sister Ronghua's brother, I was rude, Lord Gu, please get up." β
When Gu Qingzong stood up, there was no wave on his face, and Luo Xiuhua did not embarrass him just now. And Gu Qingwan looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Gu family is really good at raising children. This Gu Qingzong is a grandson and a nephew of the Queen Mother, and his identity is noble, but even if he is humiliated by Xiuhua in this palace, he is neither humble nor arrogant.
After Mu Luozhi left, the water jade behind Gu Qingwan immediately curts, and said, "Say hello to Lord Gu." β
Gu Qingzong motioned for them to get up, and said in a deep voice: "Serve Master Ronghua well." β
Yurong, who usually saw that the emperor was extremely calm, turned pale, and the two hurriedly replied: "The slave and maid must be remembered." β
After that, this Uncle Gu threw his sleeves and left, even his back was extremely heroic.
Gu Qingwan turned her face to look at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the eldest brother has already gone away." Look at the two of you. β
Shui Bi immediately retorted: "Sister, you don't know how terrible the uncle is......"
Before she was finished, she was pulled by Yurong's sleeves, and then realized that it was the uncle's sister standing in front of her.
The West Garden is not very far from the palace, but it has already arrived in an hour.
As soon as they got out of the carriage, there was a palace that took them to the place where they lived. The emperor naturally lives in the middle of this West Garden, and the closest courtyard to the emperor is where the queen lives. Even if the queen, Concubine Rou and others didn't come this time, others couldn't live there.
But what makes her feel high is that this Mu Luozhi and her are placed in the courtyard of one south and one north, and it will take a lot of time to come. She finally came out for a trip, and she really didn't want to see people who made her unkind.
The dinner was also rich, that is, although the goat leg looked a little greasy, it was exceptionally fresh. I heard that this sheep was kept in this western garden.
Although there are only two concubines now, the emperor still has a chance to choose one of the two, so as soon as the dinner is removed, Shui Bi will let the six sons go to find out whose sign the emperor ordered tonight.
I didn't know that after a while, these six sons would come back. I saw him say with a smile on his face: "Lord, I heard that the imperial doctor just went to Luo Xiuhua's courtyard." β
When Gu Qingwan heard this, she immediately asked, "What's wrong with her?" β
Hearing Xiuhua, his face was already red at this time, and his face was still very itchy. The doctor has already rushed over. β
Gu Qingwan immediately looked at Shui Bi and Yurong in surprise, who knew that both of them were waving their hands. There are only two concubines here, her and Mu Luozhi, why did she have an accident at this time? This is too much of a coincidence, but she is not afraid that Mu Luozhi will climb on her, after all, the two live so far away.
"Lord, what shall we do now?"
Gu Qingwan put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and said, "Since Luo Xiuhua is unwell, I, as a sister, should naturally go over and take a look at her, let's go." β
At this time, Gu Qingwan had a gloating look on her face, how could the other three not believe that she would be so kind.
Gu Qingwan said again: "Don't you want to see Luo Xiuhua's pimpled face?" β
"Think," this time the three skirts were in unison.
"I don't want to leave yet."
This is lively, Gu Qingwan has never been left behind, so she prepared a sedan chair and went to the courtyard where Mu Luozhi was.
When I got to the door, I heard a noise inside.
When the palace people saw Gu Qingwan, they immediately knelt down and saluted, and sang a report: "Gu Ronghua has arrived." β
At this time, Mu Luozhi, who was angry at the imperial doctor in the house, was immediately silent, she looked at Ling'er next to her and said, "You go out and stop it first." β
Gu Qingwan, under the leadership of Gong Rao in front, entered the inner courtyard, and before entering the main hall, she saw Ling'er coming in a hurry. Qingwan looked at Ling'er's expression, and knew that it must be Mu Luozhi who asked her to stop her.
Ling'er hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave and maid greet Lord Ronghua, the Lord is auspicious." β
Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said in a slightly cold voice: "What are you doing in such a hurry, your family master is sick now, why don't you take care of it carefully." β
Ling'er is not a smart person in the first place, if it weren't for Mu Luozhi seeing that she was reliable by her own service, it is estimated that she would have been sent away a long time ago.
"Slave...... Slave...... Slave ......"
Gu Qingwan looked at her for half a sentence before she could finish a sentence, then waved her hand and said, "There are only me and Sister Mu in this West Garden, and now that she is sick, I should also come over to see her." β
"My master is already going to sleep this time, and the slave and maid have thanked Gu Ronghua for his concern."
Gu Qingwan had a cold face, her momentum was quite majestic, and Ling'er who saw it trembled in her heart, she said: "When I first heard that Sister Luo was sick, I came to visit Luo Xiuhua regardless of the danger of this night, but I never thought that I was stopped by your slave here, and when I saw Luo Xiuhua later, I must ask her, could it be that there are no rules as soon as I leave the palace, or is it that your Biyuan Palace has always been this rule?" β
When Ling'er saw Gu Qingwan before, she knew that this lord had always been good-tempered, and she was kind to everyone, but she never thought that she would be so angry today. I didn't know what to do for a while, so I had to kneel.
Gu Qingwan flicked her sleeves and walked towards the inner room, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the imperial doctor was packing up her medicine box, and through a screen, she only saw Mu Luozhi's shadowy figure lying on the bed.
The imperial doctor immediately greeted Gu Qingwan and said, "The minister has seen Lord Ronghua. β
After Gu Qingwan asked him to get up, she asked with concern, "Imperial Doctor Guo, I don't know what Luo Xiuhua's condition is?" Does it matter? β
Imperial Physician Guo hadn't asked Gu Qingwan for a pulse before, so he didn't know much about the temperament of this Lord Ronghua, so he had to reply respectfully: "Back to the Lord, Luo Xiuhua is just a deviation in his diet, and he can recover after taking the medicine prescribed by Xia Guan for about five or six days." β
As soon as Gu Qingwan heard that this sentence could be restored in five or six days, she secretly said in her heart that it was a pity.
At this time, Mu Luozhi's voice came out from behind the screen, and she said: "The concubine has seen Sister Ronghua, and I hope that my sister will forgive her sins, and the concubine can't ask my sister for peace." β
Gu Qingwan smiled slightly, quite kindly: "It's not in the way, since my sister is sick, just lie down." β
Because the chair in this room was quite far away from the bed, Gu Qingwan asked the palace people to move a chair over and let her sit here and talk to Luo Xiuhua.
"Since Sister Mu is sick, why don't you let people invite the emperor?"
Gu Qingwan knew that the last thing Mu Luozhi wanted at this time was the emperor, and she scooped these words to poke her heart. But this bullying Rao felt so good that she was a little tired of it, knowing that Mu Luozhi was scolding her in her heart, and she wanted her to get out immediately, but she still sat there and chatted with her.
After a while, Mu Luozhi coughed twice, and her voice was quite weak: "I still hope that my sister will forgive her sins, my sister's body is really not very good." β
Gu Qingwan knew that she was giving an eviction order, but she said to the palace next to her: "Don't move that screen yet, Luo Xiuhua is blocked by this Laoshizi, and he can't even breathe." If Xiuhua has something because you don't take good care of it, you will die even if you don't give up. β
This palace person is a person who has always been in Xiyuan, not Mu Luozhi's cronies, listening to Gu Qingwan, who has a higher rank, he didn't dare to slack off and immediately moved the screen.
Mu Luozhi sat up in shock, and it was too late to stop him. And her face happened to be facing Gu Qingwan, it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, as soon as she saw Gu Qingwan, she immediately covered her handkerchief, and her appearance of smiling but not smiling really annoyed Mu Luozhi.
"The concubine is now ugly, and she doesn't dare to stain Gu Ronghua's eyes." Mu Luozhi's voice was extremely cold, and at this time, she didn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, you must know that a woman would rather die than let people see her disfigured appearance.
Gu Qingwan scooped up the handkerchief on the side of her mouth, stood up and looked at her, and said idly: "It's good if you know." β
Mu Luozhi really didn't expect that this Gu Qingwan would be even more polite than her, and he actually insulted her appearance directly, and the anger in his eyes was about to burn her.
Mu Luozhi probably had the heart to kill Gu Qingwan at this time, and the meaning of Gu Qingwan's words was that you ugly people should stay honest in the room, don't go out to make trouble, so as not to scare the emperor.
And in the Qinzheng Hall in Xiyuan, a man wrapped in black all over his body quietly disappeared into the night Zheng under the guidance of Gong Ruhai
And Gu Qingzong, who changed into a suit of armor and was wearing the clothes of a military attache with arrow sleeves and waist at this time, stood next to Shao Ye.
"I have always known that this Zhennan King is a restless person, but I didn't expect him to be as ambitious as a wolf." Shao Ye's face was covered with a thin layer of frost, but his anger was concealed in any way.
Gu Qingzong pondered for a moment and said, "Weichen thinks this is an opportunity, the king of Zhennan has always been in charge of the military economy of the southern region. As time passed, the power of the successive kings of Zhennan did not weaken, but became more and more rampant, which will eventually become a cancer. β
And Shao Ye naturally understood what Gu Qingzong meant in his words, Zhennan Wangfu would eventually become a cancer that threatened his rule, and since it was a cancer, it should be pulled out as soon as possible.
"I know that you have always understood me best, but the old things in the court, all they think about all day long is how to keep their official position, but they don't seek their positions in their positions, which is really hateful."
Gu Qingzong stood aside and bowed his head and said, "The emperor is in the heyday of the Thousand Autumns, just take it step by step." β
The Spring and Autumn Period was at its peak, Shao Ye was silent in his heart, and he had always known that if he couldn't bear it, he would plot it, but the taste of patience was too uncomfortable, and one day he would let these people really crawl under his feet.
"Let's go," Shao Ye flicked his sleeves and left the bookcase.
Because he was outside the palace, even though he knew that this guard was no worse than the palace, Gu Qingzong still followed Shao Ye's Luan Driver.
When she arrived at Gu Qingwan's residence, she knew that she went to visit Luo Xiuhua.
After Gu Qingwan visited Luo Xiuhua well, she came back in a sedan chair.
After walking for a long time, I heard a scream, and then the sedan chair also swayed and fell. Gu Qingwan couldn't call for help, she leaned forward, and she had to grab the shelf next to her in a hurry.
After the sedan chair fell heavily, Gu Qingwan instantly felt that her internal organs had been rechanneled.
Yurong was the first to react to this situation, she rushed over and opened the curtain, only to see Gu Qingwan grabbing the shelf next to her with both hands, and her face was even more pale.
"Lord, are you alright?" When Yurong helped Gu Qingwan out of the sedan chair, she carefully checked her whole body, and learned that she had not been touched and hurt Fang Fang's heart.
And Shui Bi rushed to the eunuch who was in trouble at this time, and scolded angrily: "How did you do an errand, if you hurt your master, how many lives do you have to pay?" β
The eunuch carrying the sedan chair was already colorless at this time, just kneeling on the ground and blindly begging for mercy.
"What's going on?" Calmly a male voice came from not far away, Gu Qingwan instantly relaxed when she heard this voice, and Gu Qingzong walked over and saw a somewhat crooked sedan chair here.
"Is the Lord hurt?"
Gu Qingwan waved her hand and signaled that she was fine. Gu Qing Zongfang was relieved, he looked at the place where the eunuch had slipped and slid to, and motioned for the people who followed him to come over.
After a while, he found a pebble from not far away, Gu Qingzong touched the surface of the stone but said nothing.
"This place is not far from where the Lord lives, so it is better to let the Lord be escorted by Weichen."
Gu Qingwan was happy in every possible way, and said softly: "There is Lord Lao Gu." β
Gu Qingzong personally held a lantern, slightly ahead of the front, but the pace was not fast, while Yurong helped her walk over slowly. The eunuchs who accompanied him were a few people away.
Qingwan looked at Gu Qingzong's tall figure in front of her, but she felt extremely relieved. Even if she is not the real Gu Qingwan, she can feel Gu Qingzong's concern for her, and family affection is always the most touching love blessing in the world
"I heard that Lord Xiuhua is not happy, I don't know what is going on now?"
Gu Qingwan's eyes moved slightly, and she replied: "Sister Xiuhua just ate something wrong, and if you think about it, it won't be in the way." β
Gu Qingzong nodded slightly, and his voice was as cold as ever: "Things can be eaten indiscriminately, but these words can't be messed up." β
Hearing this, Gu Qingwan knew that what she was thinking in her heart was correct. She didn't say anything, because her heart was too shocked, and Mu Luozhi just sarcastically mocked herself in front of him.
"This road ahead is dark and sinister, and I still hope for the Lord," Gu Qingzong turned his head slightly and said softly.
As soon as Qingwan's heart moved, she understood, and replied: "Thank you Lord Gu for your concern, I will move forward with my heart." β
Gu Qingzong glanced at her meaningfully, and said: "Although the road ahead is treacherous, there are always people who are willing to hold the lamp for the Lord." β
Qingwan heard this, but her nose was sour, fortunately it was in the dark night, but her moist eyes were extraordinarily bright at this time. She understood that this was Gu Qingzong's assurance to her that he would always stand in front of her, and let her light the way ahead.
The garden of the West Garden is different from the Imperial Garden, which is exquisite and full of royal atmosphere, and the scope of the West Garden is extremely large, and the water flowing through the garden is also the living water that is introduced.
Gu Qingwan followed Gu Qingzong in front of her and walked slowly, and after a while, she arrived at the courtyard where she lived. At this time, Gong Ruhai was walking around the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Gu Qingwan, he immediately said urgently: "My lord, you have finally come back, this emperor is about to get angry inside." β
Gu Qingwan was puzzled in her heart, and she didn't remember that she had offended the emperor recently.
When she walked to the main hall, she saw Shao Ye sitting at the table, with a cold face that made the palace maid waiting next to her so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe loudly.
"The concubine has seen the emperor."
Shao Ye immediately said coldly: "Where have you been?" β
"I heard that Luo Xiuhua was not happy, so I went to see her, after all, there are only two concubines in Xiyuan, me and her," Gu Qingwan replied slowly.
Shao Ye got up from the chair at this time, walked two steps in front of her, stretched out his hand to help her up, and said slowly: "You are the master, you should bring more people when you travel, not to mention that you are still in this West Garden, what if it collides with you?" β
Gu Qingwan looked up at him, her face was slowly smiling, even her eyebrows and eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she said softly: "It turns out that the emperor is worried about the concubine." β
Her voice was unusually soft, and she was still a little shy and happy when she said this, but Shao Ye couldn't refute it for a while. In the end, Shao Ye still taught a lesson with a straight face: "I think that as a concubine, even if she travels, she should show royal majesty. β
Gu Qingwan couldn't stop snickering in her heart, she had known this person for so long before she realized that the emperor was so awkward.
So she leaned forward, a pair of tender white hands gently pressed against Shao Ye's ink-colored clothes, she looked up at Shao Ye and said: "The night is already deep, the emperor is tired for a day, why don't you let the concubine serve the emperor and rest." β
In the late autumn night, even the insect chirping has been heard, and there is only silence left in this place. It's just that the beautiful scenery of this inner room will not be long before it will rise again.
Shao Ye looked at the person lying on the bed weakly, but the fair and tender skin on his β‘ was covered with little traces, he had lived in the Qiyuan Hall for several days before coming to this West Garden. It was because he looked extraordinarily vigorous tonight, but Gu Qingwan, who had not been β‘touched for several days, couldn't bear it for a while.
Gu Qingwan's body was slightly sideways, at this time her blushing cheeks were dyed with bright colors, Shao Ye reached out and lifted her long hair, without the majesty of a dragon robe in the past, but her eyebrows and eyes were with a lazy smile.
"Your Majesty, I'm so tired," Gu Qingwan was really too tired at this time, and she didn't even talk about the strength to seduce Shao Ye.
Qingwan didn't know how long Shao Ye tossed last night, but she only knew that her head was not good later, and in the end, she didn't know if she fainted or when she woke up, she only felt sore and uncomfortable, and she didn't want to move. But when I opened my eyes and saw the brightness, I knew that it was not early, so I struggled to turn over and get up. But as soon as he turned around, he saw Shao Ye sleeping next to him.
She was slightly surprised, because he had always woken up before her, and it was the first time in a long time that she had seen Shao Ye sleep until this hour. There was a slight sound outside the gauze tent, and as soon as Qingwan looked up, she saw that Yurong was already scooping her dressing gown and waiting outside.
She moved her body heartily and whispered through the veil, "What time is it?" β
"It's a quarter of a year, Lord," Yurong replied in a low voice.
Qingwan sighed lightly, and then was about to reach out to pick up the clothes outside, but the arm stretched out behind her suddenly pulled back. Shao Ye's eyes were still closed, but he said, "What is Concubine Ai going to do so early?" β
Gu Qingwan just thought about going to the queen to ask for peace, but she remembered that this was Xiyuan, and the queen was still in the palace.
"It's rare to have leisure, so let's sleep with me again."
When Gu Qingwan heard this, she was also extremely sympathetic to this Shao Ye in her heart. This emperor looks noble, but he has to get up at five o'clock every day, and he can't bear it.
