Empress Dowager Yu said: "Your younger sisters have grown up by my side since childhood, and their demeanor is naturally royal and decent, but their backgrounds are worse than yours, and you are older, so you should have the appearance of being a royal sister." ”

"Yes."

Coming out of Cining Palace, the eldest prince Li Youxian had received the news and came to pick up Qu Muge to go to the Wenhua Hall of the previous dynasty to discuss the specific itinerary.

Seeing Li Youxian again, his demeanor was more energetic than before, and there was a lot less caution and restraint in his eyes, presumably it was the second prince and Xiang Guifei's successive accidents, which brought him infinite hope and dared to show his confident side.

He was very polite to Qu Muge, after all, the queen mother and the emperor were more satisfied with the lost third princess.

"The imperial grandmother has had a headache for the reception of her daughters for some days, and finally she was able to set the three imperial sisters, which shows that the third imperial sister is already the most painful person for the imperial grandmother." Li Youxian said.

Qu Muge didn't dare to admit it, and said: "Where, the imperial grandmother has the same pain for several younger sisters, just because the imperial grandmother has always paid attention to the order of the young and the old, so she handed over this matter to me." ”

The sentence "orderly growth and youth" made Li Youxian very comfortable, and he smiled all the way to Qu Muge to introduce the current preparations.

The Wenhua Hall is the place where the ministers handle government affairs, and it is the collective name of the four palaces.

The front hall is the Wenhua Palace, which is the place where the deliberations are concentrated; The main hall of the apse is the place where the cabinet deliberates; The east hall is the Benren Palace, which is the office of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province; The West Hall Jiyi Hall is the office of the six departments under Shangshu Province in the palace.

Each palace is a large hall with five rooms wide and three rooms deep, and the office of the Ministry of Rites that Li Youxian wants to take Qu Muge to is in the second room of the Jiyi Palace.

Because Ge Zheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to the Ministry of Officials to take away some key officials when he was in an emergency, the Ministry of Rites has been short of manpower, and it has been even more busy these days.

Song Xiyuan, who was in charge of the protocol, saw that the eldest prince and Taixuan were coming, so he hurriedly got out of the pile of papers, and ordered the eunuch to serve tea and check with them the schedule after the arrival of the prince and the princess.

Qu Muge saw that the person in charge was Song Xiyuan, so she was not worried at all, she was familiar with him, and if she had any ideas or suggestions, she could also say them calmly and generously, and her calm appearance surprised Li Youxian.

In fact, the Ministry of Rites has arranged the itinerary very reasonably, Qu Muge just out of selfishness, turned the garden itinerary on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival into an activity to watch the dragon boat race.

She didn't want to let go of her sisters' pigeons for the sake of a princess.

For this suggestion, the eldest prince and Song Xiyuan have no objections, and it is good to let Qiu Qiong learn the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and feel the warm atmosphere of dragon boat racing.

After agreeing on these things, Song Xiyuan needed to implement the details of the meeting, so he didn't accompany Qu Muge more.

Li Youxian saw that it was time for lunch, so he invited Qu Muge to eat at the North Fifth Institute where the prince lived.

Qu Muge didn't want to eat with Li Youxian alone, so he excused himself and said, "The eldest brother is busy with official business, so you don't have to make a special trip to entertain me." ”

Li Youxian smiled, didn't force it, and said goodbye to her at the gate of the Wenhua Palace.

Because she had to prepare to entertain the princess of Qiuqiong, Qu Muge couldn't leave the palace, and she had to live in the palace for a few days, but she didn't return to the Tiyuan Hall immediately, and looked at the door of the Wenhua Hall for a while.

Huanhuan asked, "Is the princess looking for Master Hou?" ”

"Well...... "I said I'll see you in the palace on the first day of junior high school, why didn't I see anyone?"

Huanhuan said: "Master Hou has to take care of the affairs of the Criminal Department, but also the affairs of the Beijing Army, and he also has to discuss matters with the emperor, so I don't know where it is." ”

"Yes." Qu Muge decided to go back to the Tiyuan Hall and wait, if Gu Nanye wanted to find her, it would be more convenient.

The palace maid of the Tiyuan Hall knew that Taixuan would return to the palace on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and had already prepared lunch.

When he saw that she had returned, he prepared for a feast.

Qu Muge said: "I used some pastries at the imperial grandmother's, and I am not hungry, so let's wait." ”

The palace maids retreated according to their words, and Qu Muge found a book in the room and read it absentmindedly.

It was past the meal, and Gu Nanye was late.

Qu Muge happily passed the meal and personally helped him cloth the dishes and chopsticks.

Gu Nanye asked in surprise, "You haven't eaten yet?" ”

Qu Muge was also taken aback, and asked rhetorically, "Have you already eaten it?" ”

Fortunately, Gu Nanye shook his head and said, "I didn't eat, I was busy just now." You don't have to wait for me in the future, I have a lot of things, so there's no need to accompany me to be hungry. ”

Qu Muge was happy and said, "Occasionally I eat late for a while and it's nothing, I just want to wait for you." ”

Gu Nanye glanced at Qu Muge seriously, and his heart was very warm: "Okay, if I have an appointment with you in the future, I will try to arrive on time." ”

Hearing this, Qu Muge's smiling face appeared with powder.

The little girl is very magical, when she expresses her heart, she is straightforward and not twisted, but once Gu Nanye responds to her, she is shy and can't help herself.

Gu Nanye ate quickly, and Qu Muge didn't pay much attention to it, so he ate according to his rhythm.

After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Qu Muge thought of discussing something with Gu Nanye.

"Master Hou, I have something I want to tell you."

Gu Nanye looked at Qu Muge seriously, waiting for her to speak.

"I have a good relationship with Xie Zhiyin, I appreciate her upright character and outstanding talent, I want to match her and Bai Yuanhui, what do you think?"

This matter is not only a matter of the marriage between the two Bai Xie families, but also involves the change in the relationship between the Xie family and the eldest prince, so Qu Muge felt that he should talk to him.

Gu Nanye had a rare expression of surprise on his face, and asked, "Then do you know that Miss Xie was the concubine of the eldest prince in her previous life?" ”

Qu Muge nodded: "Just because I know, I want to ask Master Hou, does it have a big impact?" Because as far as I know, the eldest prince doesn't seem to like his bosom friend sister very much, so if he changes his side concubine, it should be fine, right? ”

Gu Nanye shook his head and said, "I don't know how they feel, but Xie Zhiyin gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, and the emperor's eldest grandson is very talented, and he is very loved by the emperor." ”

This time it was Qu Muge's turn to be unexpected, she really hadn't dreamed of this, probably because Ye Taohua's knowledge and participation were very limited.

Qu Muge recalled that Gu Nanye did not support the emperor's eldest son, but did not hinder her from befriending Xie Zhiyin, Qu Muge boldly guessed: "Did the Hou Ye want to assist the emperor's eldest grandson before?" ”

Gu Nanye nodded, and also felt that the little girl's mind was very transparent, and with a little dialing, many far-reaching things came to mind.

Qu Muge didn't expect that Xie Zhiyin's marriage would have such a big deal to do with the future Jiangshan Sheji, so it would be difficult to do it now.

She said embarrassedly: "Then you mean, is the matter between Sister Zhiyin and Cousin Yuanhui done?" But Sister Bosom Friend seems to be tempted by Yuanhui's cousin...... What can I do, I'm messing things up......"

Gu Nanye thought for a while while with the teacup, and said, "In the past few years, many things have changed, and this matter is not a certainty. ”

In the previous life, Emperor Yongdi was old and weak, the princes were not valued by each other, and the emperors and grandsons were smart but young, which led to the weak and strong ministers of the Yong Dynasty, and the powerful and traitorous rampant, which was an important reason for the overturning of mountains and rivers.

The emperor's eldest grandson is a good seedling, but he can't be regarded as the only sustenance of the royal family, after all, like in the previous life, far water can't save near fire.

When the emperor's eldest grandson grows up, the Yong Dynasty is also in danger.

In addition to purging the Qing Dynasty, Gu Nanye is also thinking of other ways out in the matter of the heir.
