Chapter 265: Dilemma
As twilight approached, Gan Ran tightened his cloak for Su Ruhua, and said softly: "Grandmother Huang's dinner is about to come, go back." ”
"Okay." Su Ruhui was still a little reluctant, but she still turned around and left, and after walking for a while, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm very happy today." ”
Gan Ran didn't answer her, Su Ruhui raised her head in some surprise, but saw that his face was very complicated, and only after a while did she take her hand and walk outside the Helai Palace.
"The Helai Palace is in disrepair, and it is the place where the queen and the concubine want the Xu family to live with Ganmei and Rongshou the most, it must not be too good, you will know this when you hear it in the Detai Palace." Gan Ran said suddenly.
Su Ruhui was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What scenery will there be in the palace?" Left and right are just stealing half a day of leisure, what to see is not to watch? ”
"You deliberately chose this place, just because the Helai Palace is sparsely populated, and it won't be knocked into the hide, so as not to cause trouble for me." Willing to say slowly.
Su Ruhui's smile gradually retracted, and she was stunned for a moment, but smiled indifferently: "Since you know, why do you bother to tell it?" ”
"I just don't want you to think that I have such a conscience, and I can't even see that you are working hard for me." Gan Ran smiled and said, Su Ruhui's eyes flowed, but she said, "Why am I working hard for you?" It's a joke, isn't it for me? ”
"That's what you said." Gan Ran smiled narrowly, "The so-called husband and wife are one, it turns out that you already have a deep affection for me?" But don't be in a hurry to deny it, if you don't love me more than yourself, how can you say that this is for your own sake? Oh, the Lone King is really flattered and flattered! ”
Su Ruhui didn't annoy him this time, but laughed out loud.
While the two were talking, they had already followed the palace path covered by withered grass and saw the palace gate when they came in, and at this moment, their footsteps were all stunned, and their faces changed instantly!
"The continuous winter rain is the most worrying, so it is inevitable that I want to walk around to express my feelings." Prince Gan Lin was dressed in green clothes, holding a palace silk purple bamboo umbrella alone, standing under the dilapidated palace gate of Helai Palace, looking at the hands of the two holding hands calmly, and said leisurely, "It seems that the second brother and Miss Su also think the same." ”
The cold rain was dripping, and through the rain curtain, the three of them were far away from each other, and the atmosphere was silent for a moment. After a while, Gan Ran's face gradually returned to normal, he did not let go of Su Ruhua's hand, but calmly led her to the prince not far away, then let go of his hand and bowed, and said casually: "The imperial brother has always been busy with affairs, but I didn't expect this Yaxing." ”
"Huh!" Gan Lin smiled lightly, "It's just a casual walk, but I didn't expect to meet you, it's a coincidence." ”
"The East Palace and the Helai Palace are far away, and the imperial brother has been gone for a long time today." Gan Ran smiled gently, "I think it's because of the queen mother's poor body, which makes the imperial brother feel worried." ”
Gan Lin heard the words "I have been gone for a long time", his eyes flashed, and then he calmed down, and said lightly: "The queen mother is fine, but it is Concubine Huo, her body has always been not very good, and it is easy to get pregnant, but she also has fetal gas, which makes the second brother bother." ”
"The mother concubine is just frightened, there is more than one courtyard, but the queen mother wants the imperial grandmother to be relieved, so there is no need to worry about it." Gan Ran smiled lightly, "But the queen mother cooks the six palaces and sleeps at night, and it is really hard, does the imperial brother still want to comfort his younger brother?" The emperor's mother asked the queen mother to recuperate for a few months, and the younger brother wanted to go to Weiyang Palace to explore the disease just now, but unfortunately he was afraid of disturbing the queen mother. ”
Gan Lin listened quietly, and waited for him to finish speaking before he said slowly: "The queen mother's spirit is indeed not very good, you don't have to look at it, Gan Pei is there to serve the sick, not to mention that Mother Huo's side is more important." ”
The two brothers come and go, seemingly greetings, but they have been on the edge of each other several times, Gan Lin suddenly smiled, and looked at Su Ruhui: "Miss Su is so courageous, but she is not worried at all?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives his courtiers for being stupid, I don't know what His Highness is worried about?" Su Ruhui calmly bowed, smiled and asked rhetorically.
"Just now you saw that Lone's color changed, and then he calmed down, and the second brother was just that, Miss Su was not afraid that Lone was not alone here, but with a group of slaves." Gan Lin looked at her with interest, "Especially that kind of talkative minion?" Or even a minion from Renshou Palace? ”
Su Ruhui clutched the handkerchief in her hand and smiled: "Your Royal Highness said that it is funny, although this crane comes to the palace is old, but the palace rules have never said that you are not allowed to enter here, the courtiers entered the palace at the age of eight and were raised under the knees of the queen mother, and the queen mother did not abandon it, and never restrained the courtiers from entering and leaving the six palaces, that is, the Changle Hall of the queen's mother has also been to it many times, is this crane palace more than the Changle Palace not allowing people to enter and exit at will?" ”
Gan Lin nodded slightly: "Your eloquence has been taught many times, but ...... The Shuyi Hall of Qiongtong Palace is not allowed to enter and exit at will, can it be compared with the Changle Palace? ”
Gan Ran frowned, and was about to speak, but Su Ruhui smiled and said, "Your Highness has heard a mistake, when did the courtier say such a thing?" ”
Gan Lin didn't expect her to be tricked, but she was stunned, and then she smiled to herself: "Miss Su has always known how to take advantage of her advantages, and she forgot about it." ”
Gan Ran was beside him, but his mind turned, and when he remembered that when he faced each other in the apricot forest at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Su Ruhui also denied it like this, and secretly laughed in his heart, coughed and said: "Brother Huang, it is true that you have to disperse, but at this moment, the twilight has fallen, you and I have moved out of the harem to live, and it is better to go back to our residences as soon as possible." ”
"Haven't you invited you to stay in the Xifu Palace today?" Gan Lin asked slowly.
Since the prince moved to Jiamu Palace, he was not allowed to stay in the harem without reason, and he had to tell him in advance, and he shook his head Gan Ran and said, "No." ”
"Miss Su must also go back to Renshou Palace to serve the imperial grandmother for dinner?" Gan Lin glanced at Su Ruhui meaningfully, "It's a coincidence, I haven't seen the imperial grandmother for many days, Rongshou was frostbitten last night, presumably the imperial grandmother is in a bad mood today, and she is thinking about doing her filial piety, and she happens to be on the same road as Miss Su." ”
Su Ruhui and Gan Ran frowned at the same time when they heard him say this, not knowing what his idea was.
Gan Ran immediately changed his words and said: "It's not too late to go back to Jiamu Palace after the palace ban, and my younger brother hasn't had a meal with the imperial grandmother for a long time, if the imperial brother doesn't give up, why don't you go together and ask the imperial grandmother for a meal?" ”
"Since the second brother has this filial piety, how can Lone stop him?" Gan Lin was not embarrassed, and said with a smile.
Gan Ran saw that he agreed, although he was suspicious, but he still let go of his heart, Su Ruhui vaguely felt that something was wrong, and after walking a few steps, Gan Lin suddenly patted his head as if he had just remembered, and said, "By the way, there is one thing, I almost forgot to tell my second brother!" ”
"What does the imperial brother want to say? But can't my brother eat the imperial grandmother's dinner today? Gan Ran asked with a smile on his face.
Gan Lin smiled slightly; "Where? What I want to say is that today's dinner, the second brother must go to eat! ”
"Huh?" Gan Ran frowned, "Brother Huang, please speak up!" ”
"Fang Cai went to visit his mother first, and then walked around at will." Gan Lin looked at Gan Ran, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his expression was happy and kind, "Because the queen mother suddenly became ill, she called Aunt Anxia to hand over the palace affairs in her hand to the concubine Shu...... One of them, Lone Thought, may be related to the second brother, who happened to accompany the imperial grandmother for dinner, and could ask the imperial grandmother for a favor together. ”
"Since it is the affairs of the harem, it has its own concubine and lady in charge, how dare my brother intervene?" Gan Ran's heart sank, but his mouth said calmly.
Gan Lin glanced at him deeply and said with a smile: "The second brother has always been the most sensible. He stopped talking and didn't say anything. Gan Ran seemed to want to continue asking, but after a little silence, he didn't even say anything, and the three of them walked silently along the bleak palace road.
Su Ruhui's mind turned slightly, and she could already guess what Gan Lin was going to say, and peeked at Gan Ran's face, although her face was quite calm, the hand holding the umbrella was obviously much harder, hesitated for a moment, and simply asked directly: "The palace affairs that the prince heard, but the matter of Feilanyuan?" ”
"Miss Su is really clever." Gan Lin was not surprised that she was able to guess that there were only a few people in this palace who were related to Gan Ran and worthy of him to ask the Queen Mother for it, the Huo family was a noble concubine, not to mention that she was pregnant now, and the Queen Mother would not embarrass her at this moment for the sake of the royal bloodline, and the other was naturally Gan Ran's biological mother, who lost her raising qualifications as soon as her child was born and was moved to Feilan Yuan.
"The trivial matters of Feilan Yuan have always not disturbed the queen's mother, especially now that it is approaching the end of the year, and the middle palace is busy." Su Ruhui said slowly, "But I don't know what it is?" Will it alarm the Middle Palace? ”
Gan Lin showed a thoughtful expression, as if he was considering what kind of wording to use, and said after a while: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the wind and rain collapsed several rows of houses in Feilanyuan last night, and several of them lost their homes. ”
Su Ruhui frowned slightly, did so many things happen in one night? Yi Qingzhai was overturned in the corner of the house, and the only princess Rongshou was frostbitten, and Xifu Palace blew down the concubine's favorite female luo shelf, causing the concubine to have a fetal gas...... Unexpectedly, even the remote Feilan Garden is no exception.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also a natural thing, after all, Yiqingzhai and Xifu Palace, even the former, are places where the Shanggong Bureau does not dare to cut corners, and they both have accidents, not to mention Feilanyuan, which has always been ignored. That place is a place where anyone in the Six Shang Bureau can step on a few feet.
"Since the imperial brother wants to tell his younger brother about Feilan Yuan, there must be Han Jiali among the concubines who lost their residence, right?" Gan Ran suddenly spoke, but he was as straight to the point as Su Ruhua.
Gan Lin smiled lightly: "The second brother is really smart. ”
"Everything in the palace has its own rules, and besides, whether it is the queen mother or the lady concubine, the six palaces have been kept in order all these years, how can my younger brother talk about these things?" Gan Ran was anxious in his heart, but he still said calmly on his face.
Gan Lin sighed slightly: "What the second brother said is that although the queen mother is sick, but the concubine Shu is from everyone, and it has always been good to take care of palace affairs, but I heard that the concubine Shu is in a hurry to settle the mother and the fourth brother, and Rong Shou, I am afraid that I can't take care of that side for a while, and now this season is ......" He shook his head and sighed with compassion, "I heard that these concubines who have lost their residence are all weaker, and if there is nowhere to live tonight, they can only be drenched in rain, and now it is not as good as in midsummer." ”
Gan Ran secretly took a deep breath and warned himself not to be swayed by Gan Lin's words, he had just calculated that Zhou Hou talked more about the previous dynasty, and asked the Queen Mother to send the queen back to Weiyang Palace to "recuperate", and was also deprived of palace power, if he pleaded for the Han family according to Gan Lin's thoughts, Gan Lin could naturally deduct himself after interference. Hats for court affairs.
But if you don't say it...... Whether it is the reputation of filial piety in the future as a son of man, or in his own emotions, how can he pass this hurdle?
Gan Ran felt that he had never felt so sorry.
