Chapter 54
When Bai Yuan came back, he saw Qu Muge's face full of anger.
Qu Muge asked Huanhuan to go out and talk to Bai Yuanhui alone.
Closing the door, Bai Yuan replied with concern, "What's the matter with the princess urgently recruiting me?" ”
The purse in her hand had been crumpled by her, but she could only endure her unhappiness and ask, "I heard that the Bai family is saying goodbye to Gu Hou?" ”
Bai Yuanhui was startled and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”
There is no denial, but it is true!
Qu Muge's face darkened and said, "The whole capital has heard about it." ”
Bai Yuan felt that his head was big, but considering Bai Lingting's reputation, he could only explain: "Our family has this meaning, but this matter may not be possible, there are many things to consider." ”
Qu Muge's heart was blocked.
Gu Nanye knew how Bai Lingting bullied Ye Taohua, and she still had to consider kissing her?
Seeing that she was silent, Bai Yuan asked back, "Did the princess leave the palace to ask me about this?" ”
He had a vague conjecture, but he didn't dare to ask casually......
Qu Muge denied it: "I heard this rumor, just ask casually." I'm looking for you because...... Because you were promoted, I made you a gift, congratulations. ”
The purse was too wrinkled to give it away, so she took out the sword spike contained in it and gave it to Bai Yuanhui.
Bai Yuanhui was flattered, he had been promoted for a month, why did he give him a gift at this time?
He held the delicate sword spike and thanked him: "Thank you, princess!" ”
Qu Muge replied sullenly.
I sent it out, and I regretted it......
It was the best of the dozen or so sword spikes she had ever made. She stayed up for several nights for this gift, and her fingers were about to be poked.
Officials are resting every 10 days.
On this day, Gu Nanye rested and handled the Gu family's business in the Tianyin Pavilion.
Xu Baoru reported to him the information obtained from various channels: "...... Princess Taixuan went out of the palace privately today and made an appointment with Bai Yuanhui alone. ”
Gu Nanye looked up from the complicated business affairs and asked, "Has she encountered any difficulties?" ”
Xu Baoru said: "I haven't heard that something happened in the palace, and I don't know what the princess and Bai Yuanhui talked about, but I only know that the princess lost her temper because Bai Yuanhui was slow to go back to the appointment." ”
Gu Nanye commented: "You have a good temper. ”
Xu Baoru hesitantly added: "And when Bai Yuanhui came out of the tea room, he had an extra sword spike with him, which was made by the princess herself......"
Gu Nanye didn't say anything this time.
Xu Baoru didn't know whether to continue to report other things or what, so he asked, "Do you need to go and check what they discussed?" ”
Gu Nanye shook his head and said, "That's it, that's their private matter." Go on. ”
Xu Baoru continued to read other information, but Gu Nanye did not give any instructions after that.
Xu Baoru, as Gu Nanye's "intimate little padded jacket", faintly felt that the owner was a little unhappy.
After reporting all the information, Xu Baoru said: "Madame's reply to the princess has been delivered, will it be sent to the palace today?" ”
Gu Nanye thought for a while and said, "I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, give it to me." ”
Qu Muge came back from outside the palace, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully.
Although she knew that Gu Nanye had rejected Ye Taohua's marriage offer, and had also expressed estrangement from her overtures, even if she wanted her to die to him, he couldn't accept Gu Nanye's marriage with Bai Lingting.
didn't sleep well for two days in a row, causing Qu Muge to be very depressed the next day.
After she got up and had breakfast with Emperor Yong, she lay back on the bed to catch up on sleep.
When she woke up near noon, Huanhuan came with a letter and said, "Madame's reply has arrived." ”
Qu Muge was in a slightly better mood, took the letter and sat on the bed to read it.
She opened the letter and said to herself, "Why is it late this time?" ”
The documents in the palace are generally sorted on the first night, and they are sent everywhere before dawn the next day, and the masters can check them after they get up.
When she woke up in the morning, she didn't believe it.
Huanhuan said: "It was sent by the Hou Ye himself." ”
Qu Muge almost jumped up from the bed and asked, "Why didn't you call me when Master Hou came?" ”
Today is Gu Nanye's birthday!
Huanhuan was a little embarrassed and said: "You said that you were unwell and wanted to sleep, and no one would see ......"
Well, she really said that.
"Hurry up and ask me to see if the Hou Ye is out of the palace."
"Yes......"
In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Gu Nanye and Emperor Yong checked the deployment of the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and Gonggong Hu came in to ask about lunch, Gu Nanye suddenly said: "Weichen wants to rectify the forbidden army in the afternoon, I don't know if I can beg for food here with the emperor?" ”
Emperor Yong smiled: "You, you, you like to pretend in front of me, I know that today is your twentieth birthday, and I have already ordered the imperial dining room to prepare food for you." ”
Gonggong Hu went down to arrange in response.
Emperor Yong smiled and chatted with Gu Nanye: "Gu Qing will ask for something here every year on his birthday, either asking for more food and grass, or asking for more soldiers, I am still thinking about it these days, what will you ask for this year, but I didn't expect it to be a meal?" ”
Gu Nanye pondered: "The minister really wants to ask the emperor for a favor again today......
"Tell me about it." Emperor Yong asked.
Qu Muge heard that Gu Nanye was still discussing matters in the front hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, so he ran forward after dressing up.
There was no pro-military guard on the corridor connecting the side hall to the main hall, and she was about to open the curtain and walk in from behind, when she heard a familiar loud voice say: "The minister wants to ask the emperor for a marriage grace." ”
Qu Muge was instantly petrified.
Gu Nanye actually took the initiative to ask the emperor for marriage? Is he going to marry Bai Lingting? Or is there someone else you like?
She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and subconsciously turned around to leave, but she couldn't take a step at all.
The emperor was surprised and asked, "Oh? Which girl did Gu Qing fall in love with? ”
Emperor Yong's face gradually showed a sad color, and Concubine Xian had been pestering him in recent days, saying that the Marquis of Xiling held the power of the Beijing army, and in order to ensure his loyalty, he should be given a marriage and wooed.
And the noble daughter of the family that Concubine Xian likes is naturally related to the three princes openly and secretly, and he doesn't want to get rid of a left party and support another foreign relative.
He rejected Concubine Xian several times, but Concubine Xian did not give up, and even the other palace concubines heard the rumors and learned from him, which made it very difficult for him to do so.
Could it be that Concubine Xian didn't ask for grace from him, and directly discussed it with Gu Hou?
If Gu Nanye marries a relative, it will not be very good.
This breath seemed to be a long time, and Qu Muge's heartbeat was about to stop.
Gu Nanye knelt down on one knee and said: "The minister has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and the killing is too heavy, and the minister has made a vow to the Buddha to cultivate himself for three years. Within three years, the minister will not marry, and please ask the emperor not to give marriage. ”
Emperor Yong was overjoyed, Gu Nanye was so considerate of his difficulties that he gave him such a good reason to refuse the palace concubines' request for marriage.
Wouldn't three years be a bit long? He's twenty years old.
Emperor Yong said happily: "Gu Qing, have you heard some rumors in the harem, you don't have to care, your marriage is up to you." It's a good thing for you to make a wish to the Buddha, as long as your heart is sincere, it won't take three years so long. ”
