Chapter 155
Xu Baoru sent the gift into the palace as instructed, and explained a few words to Gu Nanye on his own.
Qu Muge's face did not change, he accepted the gift with a smile, and asked Xu Baoru to take care of Hou Ye's body and not overwork.
After sending people away, even if Qu Muge had a big belly, he couldn't help but show a look of loss.
She lowered her head and opened the gift box in her hand, which contained a horsewhip, made of wolf skin, and a fluffy pendant made of wolf tails.
When Xu Baoru sent it, he said that this was the first year of Hou Ye's army and the wolf hunted in the northwest.
It is said that a whip made of wolf skin carries the breath of a wolf and can make a horse more tame.
knew that his mind was still there, but the little bit of loneliness and loss in Qu Muge's heart couldn't be swayed.
She got up with her whip in her hand and commanded, "Change your clothes, I'm going to ride a few laps around the racecourse." ”
The foal "Mingyue" that Gu Nanye gave her was taken care of by a special person, and after three months, the foal has grown a lot taller.
Changing into a suitable saddle, Qu Muge turned over and rode on the horse field.
The warm sun on the March afternoon was very warm, and Qu Muge exercised for a while, and his mood gradually relaxed.
She thought of her and Gu Nanye's future "journey", they would only get busier and busier, she had to adapt to such a rhythm, she had to be more restrained, more considerate, and couldn't make emotions casually.
Thinking like this, a few tears came out of her eyes.
Obviously, at the beginning, she just wanted a plain life, and it would be better if she was in a little sweet love.
But...... Who made him fall in love with such a career-minded man.
Huanhuan saw her stop in the middle of the horse farm to wipe her eyes, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”
Qu Muge raised his head and said, "I'm blinded by the wind and sand, it's okay, it's already fine." ”
Just as he was about to get off the field, the third prince Li Youxiang appeared on the horse farm again.
Qu Muge has only been here twice, and he has met him twice, which shows that Li Youxiang really often rides horses here.
Li Youxiang drove his mount forward and said happily: "Third Emperor Sister, on your birthday today, why didn't you go out of the palace to play, and ride a horse here alone?" ”
Qu Muge said: "I had a few wedding drinks before, and it was a series of festivals, but I just felt panicked, and I finally had time today, and I wanted to be quiet alone." ”
Li Youxiang asked, "Then didn't I disturb you?" ”
"It's okay, I'm tired of riding, I'm ready to go back to the house." Qu Muge said.
The original intention was to give up the racecourse to Li Youxiang, but Li Youxiang followed Qu Muge out.
"Third brother still has something to look for me?"
Li Youxiang nodded again and again and said, "There is a horse race in the capital next month, I want to participate, can the imperial sister help me?" ”
Qu Muge paused for a moment and said, "If you want to participate, just say no to your concubine?" ”
"Oh," Li Youxiang grabbed her and said, "If my mother agrees, I won't trouble the imperial sister." Now everyone in the palace knows that you are very useful when you speak, sister, you can help me talk to my mother! ”
Li Youxiang is the heart of Xiang Guifei, he is worried about falling when he rides a horse in the palace on weekdays, and he is not often allowed to come, how can he be allowed to go out of the palace to race?
Don't even think about it.
Qu Muge shook his head and said: "I may be able to talk about the side matters, but in your affairs, even the Queen Mother doesn't interfere much, how can your concubine listen to me?" ”
Li Youxiang was depressed, presumably because he was too ruthless with his concubine, he complained: "She doesn't allow me to ride a horse, doesn't allow me to practice martial arts, says that she is afraid that I will be injured, and says that it is for my good, but is it really for my good?" What is the use of the Great Emperor's book being read well? My father still doesn't like him, maybe I can practice a good martial arts, and my father likes me as much as he likes Gu Hou! Everyone said that compared to me and the eldest brother, Gu Hou is like Gu Hou's own son. ”
Qu Muge looked left and right, but fortunately there was no one else in the racecourse, and hurriedly persuaded: "Who said that my father doesn't like you and the eldest brother?" He is just a father's love and responsibility, and the third brother's angry words can't be talked nonsense, and if they are spread out, whether it is the father or the eldest brother, they will be unhappy when they hear it. ”
Li Youxiang was unconvinced and said: "Third sister, don't comfort me, you have such a good relationship with the Gu family, don't you know how much your father likes Gu Hou?" I heard that Gu Hou is the illegitimate son of his father......"
Qu Muge's heart tightened, stepped forward to cover Li Youxiang's mouth, and shouted sternly: "Third brother, do you know what you are talking about?" Who are you listening to to the rumors that confuse the people? ”
Li Youxiang saw Taixuan lose his temper for the first time, and when his expression became serious, he was a little frightened, so he took a few steps back and didn't answer.
In the ears of others, this may just be a joke after dinner, but Qu Muge knows that this is a slander for Gu Nanye that must be extinguished at the slightest sign.
Gu Nanye suffered a lot of sins in his previous life because of the rumors of an illegitimate child, not to mention that the Queen Mother had been targeting him for this reason, and the courtiers were also worried that he had the intention of usurping the throne, so they attacked him in groups, and finally forced him to go to Nanyang to fight in Fusang.
In the end, even the rebellious King of Yanbei regarded him as a remnant of the royal family, pressing step by step, and it was necessary to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
I thought that with Mrs. Gu in this life, and with the relationship between her and Gu Nanye here, there would be no such absurd rumors, but I didn't expect it to come.
Qu Muge's heart was full of emotion, and he said, "Okay, if you don't say it, I'll ask your concubine!" ”
After that, no matter how Li Youxiang apologized behind him, Qu Muge walked towards the Longevity Palace without looking back.
Cining Palace and Yangxin Palace received a message almost at the same time, saying that Princess Taixuan made a big fuss in the Longevity Palace and beat all the eight minions who served the three princes, and the two of the leaders were punished with a rod and slapped their mouths, and they were about to die.
Emperor Yongdi was very surprised and asked Aunt Mo Xin: "Ge'er played?" ”
Aunt Mo Xin said with an embarrassed expression: "Yes, Princess Taixuan gave an order to stop the concubine and the third prince, but the princess transferred the forbidden army to the past, forcibly executed it and personally observed the punishment, and now it is not over. Ask the emperor and the queen mother to come over and save your life......"
Emperor Yongdi put down the red pen, still surprised.
Since his daughter returned to the palace, she has never heard of her punishing the palace people, and the only time she has seen her lose her temper is the time when she refutes Hou Tiqin, but she has not been angry for long, and she has been persuaded to turn back.
What happened to make her furious?
Emperor Yong asked the reason, and Aunt Mo Xin also shook her head: "The third princess closed the door and personally interrogated the palace people of Changchun Palace, and even Xiang Guifei didn't know why, but looking at the posture of the third princess, Xiang Guifei was already scared, I was afraid that the third prince had done something rebellious." ”
Emperor Yongdi thought for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother should go over when she gets the news, and I won't go." You go over and watch for me, and when it's done there, bring the song to see me. ”
Aunt Mo Xin took the order and left.
