Chapter 42
Concubine Zheng watched them walk side by side through the garden and disappear outside the Moon Cave Gate, and then slowly sat down, a little bitterness welling up on her face.
Cui'er stomped her foot angrily: "She is not a woman at all, she is a demon all over, not only wearing men's clothes, but also staying in the yamen all day long, as well as the military camp, mixing with so many men, and losing her face and reputation, I really don't know what she thinks." Her appearance is also very tight, and the prince is a hundred times better looking than her, no, a thousand times ten thousand times. In short, she is not worthy of the prince at all, and she always pesters him shamelessly, which is really shameless. ”
"Cui'er, don't say it." Concubine Zheng is more knowledgeable than her, so she feels more helpless. "Who does the prince want to favor, where can we control? I only hope that the prince can be wet with rain and dew, and he will be satisfied, and there is no other extravagant hope. ”
"Miss, you can't easily admit defeat." Cui'er was shocked. "No matter how powerful that woman's methods are, she has no name or share. Even if the prince marries her in the future, she is just a concubine, and according to the rules, she will kneel down for you and ask for peace, serving tea and pouring water. At that time, she will not even be able to dine at the same table with you and the prince, but must stand behind you and serve at all times. I'd like to see what she's going to be like as a general. At the end of the day, there was a hint of schadenfreude on her face.
"That's right." Concubine Zheng's face was much better, her slightly frowning brows were also stretched, and she said lightly. "As long as I live for one day, it will not be her turn to sit in the position of this princess."
"Yes, yes, Miss just relax, you are still a year younger than her, and you are not afraid of wasting time." Cui'er smirked. "After a year or two, the prince is afraid that he will get tired of her, and he will naturally turn back to be a loving couple with the young lady. When the young lady has a son and a half daughter, then the prince still treats the young lady as a pearl in his palm? ”
Concubine Zheng sighed: "I'm afraid that she will give birth to the child first." ”
"That's also outside, at most it's a concubine." Cui'er said disdainfully. "Miss, you are the son of the descendant, and you can inherit the throne in the future. No matter how favored her child is, she will only be able to get the title of Marquis at most in the future, compared to your child, it is a world of difference. ”
"yes, yes." Concubine Zheng thought about it well, so she was no longer sad and got up and said. "Cui'er, let's go to Liuxiangzhai for a stroll, see what new Huadian they have there, and by the way, ask the shopkeeper again, and see what new makeup patterns are emerging in Yecheng Palace, let's learn too."
"Okay." Cui'er was overjoyed, and immediately followed her out, served her in a carriage, and drove out of the house to the bustling market.
At this time, Gao Changgong and Gu Huan had already arrived at the Yamen of the Assassin History, sat down and continued to deal with important military and political affairs.
Both of them were too busy to raise their heads, and it was quite difficult to sort out the various affairs that had become a mess during the handover period in the shortest possible time.
At this time, the talent that Gu Huan had honed in his previous life shone brightly. She handled the complicated military affairs, government affairs, criminal cases, civil disputes and other various affairs in an orderly manner, first classified, and then prioritized, which made Gao Changgong a lot easier.
Soon it was dark, Gao Changgong ordered the staff to go back to rest, and left the yamen with Gu Huan.
Gu Huan couldn't bear the temperament of Concubine Zheng, so he said to Gao Changgong: "I'm so busy this day, I want to go out for a stroll, just find a restaurant to eat." Go back first, lest the princess be worried. ”
Gao Changgong's face changed slightly: "Huan'er, what do you mean by this?" Don't you understand my heart for you? You know the princess's thoughts, but I won't respond at all, this is also something you and I know very well, why do you say such things to sting me? ”
"Changgong, I didn't mean that." Gu Huan smiled slightly and said comfortingly. "I'm not mad at you at all. You and I are of the same mind, and we don't need to explain anything at all. I just don't want to eat at the same table with the princess anymore. She expressed her kindness and friendliness to me today, and tomorrow she was afraid that she would give me rouge pollen silk satin, and the day after tomorrow she would probably teach me to pierce my ears. But she said that she would wait for you to go back to eat, and if you don't come back, she may really not drink or eat, and then my sin will be great. Now it seems that it is a very difficult thing to deal with her, or you go, I am lazy, I just want to avoid trouble. ”
Hearing her say this, Gao Changgong noticed that she really didn't even wear pierced ears, no wonder she has always been regarded as a boy by others. Thinking of Concubine Zheng's performance at noon today, what she said is really very likely. Thinking about it, Gao Changgong's mood became cheerful, and he turned back to his entourage Gao Jin and said, "You go back to the house to tell the princess, I am busy with government affairs, and I can't go back in time, please ask her to have dinner first, don't wait for me." ”
"Yes." Gao Jin agreed, immediately turned over his horse, and quickly ran towards the Thorn Mansion.
"Wouldn't that be good?" Gao Changgong pulled Gu Huan over and persuaded softly. "It's okay, it's a big deal, we'll all eat out in the future, it's nothing. After a while, I think she'll just give up. ”
"Hmm." Gu Huan sighed. "Actually, that's not what I meant."
"I know, I know, you don't have to explain anymore." Gao Changgong smiled. "I don't want you to be wronged, so you just listen to me, okay?"
"Okay." Gu Huan nodded obediently, and his heart, which was originally a little chaotic, immediately calmed down.
Gao Changgong took her back to the yamen, took off her official uniform, took out the civilian clothes that she had put here in case of emergency, and happily took her out of the gate and walked towards the lively market.
They were all coming to Yidu for the first time, and they were not very familiar with the structure of the city, but they had heard a general introduction from the master in the yamen in the morning, and at this time, they estimated the general direction, walked as a car, and walked over slowly.
Although it was summer, it was one of the coldest periods in ancient history, and not only did they not feel hot, but they felt very cold. The twilight is vast and the cold wind blows on the face, dissipating the heat and making people feel very comfortable.
Gu Huan looked up at the dark blue sky, and the stars were showing up little by little, flashing with a silver shimmer, forming a variety of beautiful patterns. It's a sight she never gets tired of seeing. In a future full of air pollution, it is rare to see such a clear scene that seems to go directly into the depths of the universe.
Gao Changgong walked beside Gu Huan, and was amused by her childishness as she looked up at the night sky with fascination. This girl is like a man with a thousand faces, and there are many different images displayed in front of his eyes, and each of them makes him fall in love.
After walking for a while, they came to the street lined with restaurants, tea shops and green houses.
The lights are all lit up, laughter and laughter everywhere, and the scene of singing and dancing is leveling, which makes them feel very relieved in the eyes of Gao Changgong and Gu Huan.
Gu Huan followed his father to guard the border for several years, and struggled to resist the invasion of Turkic, Khitan and other foreign tribes, just to protect the peaceful life of these people. Maybe Gu Xian was mainly to keep the emperor of Qi, but Gu Huan didn't have this concept at all. Whether it is Qi State, Zhou State, or Chen State in the south, in her heart, they are all China and China. In the face of the Turkic Iron Cavalry and the Khitan Tiger and Wolf Army, she only hated them for killing ordinary people indiscriminately, robbing women and children as their slaves, and at the same time protecting her father, so she would not hesitate to fight back. And now, Qi is Gao Changgong's motherland, as long as he does not rebel against the imperial court or leave his homeland, she will wholeheartedly assist him in serving the country. In any case, she was happy to see the people living and working in peace.
As they walked, they felt that there were countless eyes around them, men, women and children, most of them were amazed, and the people who were watching were of course Gao Changgong, who was soft and graceful.
Gu Huan sighed: "Changgong, you are good at everything, you only have one innate flaw, you are too beautiful." ”
Gao Changgong sighed and nodded: "Yes, it's not okay to be quiet at all." ”
"The best solution is disfigurement." Gu Huan glanced at him and grimaced. "But I can't help it."
Gao Changgong couldn't help laughing: "Anyway, I've already handed over my whole person to you, if you love to destroy it, I don't object to it." ”
Gu Huan clenched his fists: "No, since it's my person, there must not be the slightest damage." The expression on her face was very serious, but there was a hint of banter in her eyes, how she looked like a child.
Gao Changgong couldn't bear it, reached out to hug her, and said with a smile: "Me too." You are my man, and I will not let you be hurt in the slightest. ”
