Chapter Ninety-Seven: Mid-Autumn Festival

Su Zhan returned to Su Mansion with a sad face, and locked himself in the study as soon as he went back, Qi Shuying was still angry and didn't go to see him, Old Lady Su heard that he was back, so she wanted to bring up the old matter again, but Su Zhan's little servant spread the word that the young master was handling official business, and no one was allowed to disturb him, and Old Mrs. Su was angry again when she heard it.

But Su Zhan went in this time, and he didn't come out all night, and the next morning, he didn't even go to the morning court, Chen couldn't hold his breath, and sent a maid to call Su Zhan, but he didn't even call to open the door, and when the maid broke in nervously, he found that Su Zhan had fainted.

Waited until someone came over, carried Su Zhan back to the room, and tossed around for a while, Su Zhan woke up, and the old lady Su heard that he woke up, and hurriedly sent Mama Xu to invite him, but Su Zhan had already gone to the yamen, wait, wait, and finally waited for someone to come back, this time Su Zhan went to Lingyun Courtyard very happily.

Mrs. Su was very concerned about him: "Zhan'er, business is important, and your body is also important, you have not been in good health since you were a child, but you must pay attention to rest." ”

Su Zhan said with a touched face: "It's all grandchildren who are not filial, and they also make my grandmother worry about me." ”

Mrs. Su looked kind: "You are what I grew up watching, a piece of meat in my grandmother's heart, how can my grandmother not worry about you?" It's a little disgusting, but we are a family, grandmother always loves you, and now seeing you so promising, grandmother is happy, the little doll who held me at the beginning has now become a pillar of the country! Now that my grandmother has nothing else to ask for, the Su family can prosper with you, and now my grandmother only wants to see that you have a son and a half daughter, and my grandmother will be able to rest assured that she is dead. ”

"What did grandmother say, grandmother is still young!" Su Zhan hurriedly said.

Su Zhan showed just the right expression on his face, but he didn't have much touch in his heart, he was brought up by Mrs. Su, and he always had a little admiration for Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su also knew this, so now she still wants to use this ancestral and grandson affection to tie Su Zhan.

But once or twice, after a long time, Su Zhan also understood that the grandmother who once made him attached to him showed love was all false and had ulterior motives, and Mrs. Su made this loving face again, which made him feel sarcastic.

It's just acting, he's an official, can he still play her?

Mrs. Su patted his hand: "I know, my Zhan'er is a loving and righteous person, you have affection for that child of Shuying, but now she has been in the business for two years, and her body has not moved at all, how can she go on like this?" It's just a concubine, when she is pregnant and born as a son, she will be recorded in the name of Shuying, and it is no different from her own birth, she picked up a ready-made maiden for nothing, and she couldn't wronged her! ”

Su Zhan nodded: "Grandmother is right, my grandson knows that my grandmother is all for my good." ”

Mrs. Su's eyes lit up, but she didn't expect him to spit out this time, and said eagerly: "Don't worry, Zhan'er, grandmother will choose a knowledgeable lady for you to come back......"

"It's just grandmother......" Su Zhan stopped talking, and looked at the maids in the house.

Old Lady Su was stunned, but she still obeyed his wishes and sent the person out, "Zhan'er, what do you have to say?" ”

Mrs. Su has always regarded herself as a caring elder and loves the juniors.

Su Zhan had a shy expression on his face, and there was a bit of sadness and shame: "Grandmother, your grandson's health is not good, you know, if you marry another one, your grandson is worried...... My grandson's body is unbearable! ”

Mrs. Su: "......"

Mrs. Su was stunned, looking at Su Zhan in disbelief, Su Zhan's face was flushed, with a look of shame and indignation, few men would admit that they were not good in some aspects, but Su Zhan was so outspoken, and the reasons were all righteous and bright, he was not in good health!

Even if Mrs. Su is well-informed, she is a little overwhelmed at this time, if she forces Su Zhan to take a concubine again, it will not be a love for the junior, but a harm to him! If this is spread out, it will only say that it is unkind to be an elder, and they will admit that they can't do it!

Su Zhan looked at Mrs. Su's unbelievable shock, and her originally reluctant mood suddenly became a little more comfortable, originally he was still thinking, what kind of bad idea Ah Wan came up with! Men don't want to be famous? If this gets out, what will others think of him? When the time comes, how will he be an official and a person?

But at this time, seeing Mrs. Su's reaction, she suddenly became not so angry, but felt that Ah Wan's coming out was really a good idea, which can be described as once and for all, even if Qi Shuying has been pregnant in the future, let alone Mrs. Su, even if it is Your Majesty, you can't stuff a woman for him at will, otherwise it will be fatal.

If Qi Shuying has a child, the rumors will be self-defeating, Su Zhan thought about it, and suddenly felt that the most beneficial thing for this whole thing was Qi Shuying, although he didn't have to take a concubine, but in the end, his reputation was ruined, and it was estimated that no girl would like him in the future.

Su Zhan thought about it, and suddenly felt that Su Yunlai came up with this idea for Qi Shuying, right? Who is her sister?

However, Su Zhan thought about it, Ah Wan bothered so much for Qi Shuying, it can be seen that she really treats her well, because Ah Wan knows that he will only be good if Qi Shuying is good, and these people who keep saying that they are for his good have been dividing the relationship between their husband and wife.

Su Zhan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and suddenly had a different understanding of his family and marriage, which Su Yunlai didn't expect.

The matter was resolved smoothly, even Su Zhan's reputation for being weak still spread, but he himself didn't care very much.

The life of the Gu family is also very peaceful, and Gu Junyan and Su Yunlai live a harmonious and beautiful life.

Above the court, Xu Guanyi somehow also said that more than half of the courtiers were moved, and the matter of cutting the feudal domain was going smoothly, Li Sheng now attaches great importance to him, and after this incident, Xu Guanyi's position in the court has stabilized a lot.

After the first autumn rain, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival palace decided to do a big deal, this matter was all supervised by the queen's mother, and it was also the first time she summoned the minister's daughter in the palace, so it was extremely grand, this is Yun Huanting wants to give herself prestige, and even Li Sheng is very face-saving.

Su Yunlai naturally wants to enter the palace, and she also has the title of Mrs. Yipin, which Gu Junyan asked Li Sheng for her when she asked for marriage.

This was Su Yunlai's first time entering the palace, and Gu Junyan was worried that she was nervous, so he deliberately comforted her a lot, but Su Yunlai looked indifferent, not nervous at all.

Su Yun looked at Gu Junyan's worried look, and couldn't help but smile: "My husband is a person who doesn't change his face on the battlefield, I'm just entering a palace, how can I embarrass him?" ”

Gu Junyan looked at the bright and confident smile on her face, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and took her into her arms, "Even if you are nervous, it's nothing, the sky is falling, and your husband will help you support it!" ”

Su Yunlai shook her head helplessly and smiled, she was indeed not afraid, but she also deliberately let him relax, she knew that the harem was also a battlefield, and it was full of bloody rain just like Gu Junyan on the battlefield.

Early in the morning, Su Yunlai and Gu Junyan went out together.

"Don't worry, there are also little eunuchs I know well in the palace, although there will be nothing wrong, but the palace is also a place of right and wrong, if something happens, don't panic, there is me." In the carriage, Gu Junyan told Su Yun to speak.

Su Yunlai nodded solemnly.

After entering the palace, the two will separate, Su Yunlai will go to see the queen mother, and Gu Junyan will go to Li Sheng.

When he arrived at the palace, Li Sheng didn't want to say anything more, just glanced at the little eunuch who led the way, and then squeezed Su Yunlai's hand.

Su Yunlai followed the little eunuch all the way to Qiwu Palace, and the little eunuch whispered: "The young lady enters the palace for the first time, don't be nervous." Then he whispered something to her.

The little eunuch had a clear mind, and what he said was taboos that were useful to her, Su Yunlai was very grateful, and did not despise the other party because he was a little eunuch, but thanked him very gently, which made the little eunuch a little flattered.

Soon arrived at Qiwu Palace, and the little eunuch stood behind Su Yunlai, looking silent.

Jingfen, the big palace maid beside the queen mother, came out to greet Su Yunlai in person, and saluted her, with a kind smile on her face and an excellent attitude.

Her attitude naturally also represents the meaning of the queen's mother, which is also inevitable, Su Yunlai's husband's family is the Gu family, the relationship between the Gu family and Li Sheng is self-evident, Su Yunlai's brother is Li Sheng's minister who wants to be reused, her husband's family and her mother's family are powerful, and the queen's mother also has to watch people put down dishes.

This is the first time Su Yunlai has seen Yun Huanting, although she is young, she has a graceful and luxurious bearing, her appearance is dusty and beautiful, she has a gentle smile on her face, but she has a majesty.

"The courtiers have seen the queen's mother." Su Yunlai's etiquette was impeccable, and he had already been taught before entering the palace.

Yun Huanting smiled and raised her hand cordially: "The young lady is exempt from the courtesy, give a seat." ”

The position where Su Yunlai sat was closest to the queen's mother, which also represented her status, and the seat next to her was Qi Shuying, which was specially arranged by Yun Huanting.

Many ladies have arrived, and it seems that the atmosphere is very harmonious and harmonious, which shows that Yun Wanting is worthy of being the queen cultivated by the Yun family.

Su Yunlai also said something funny, and then heard someone shouting outside: "Princess Zhuang and the county lord of Anning have arrived!" ”

Hearing this name, Su Yunlai obviously noticed that Yun Huanting's brows frowned slightly, and then let go, and then said, "Please!" ”

The county lord of Anning loves Li Sheng, and there is no one in the capital who does not know, and Yun Huanting must also know that no woman will like a woman who covets her husband, but it is just because of her identity.

Princess Zhuang and the county lord of Anning walked in and saluted with Yun Huanting, maybe it was Princess Zhuang who warned the county lord of Anning, the county lord of Anning lowered her eyebrows, but nothing happened, and Yun Huanting also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mrs. Shang Shujiang of the Criminal Department took a bite of the moon cakes prepared by Yun Huanting, and her eyes lit up: "Niangniang, I have eaten a lot of moon cakes, but it is the first time I have seen such a delicious one, this appearance is still an ordinary appearance, but this stuffing is so delicious." ”

This is the first time Yun Huanting has met the courtiers, and she is naturally well-prepared, she smiled and bowed: "Mrs. Chen likes it, and she will let people fill a few more boxes in a while." ”

When the county lord of Anning heard Yun Huanting's words, he raised his head and said: "Niangniang is really as virtuous and generous as rumored, and Anning also has something she likes, I wonder if Niangniang is also willing to fulfill Anning?" ”

Rao is Yun Huanting has a good temperament, and she can't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, this county lord of Anning really doesn't know the general situation, Yun Huanting sighed slightly, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the lethality of the county lord of Anning is still the same as always.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, if Yun Huanting didn't answer, she would be stage frightened, this was the first time she had met a courtier, it was very important to her, and it also represented the outside world's perception of her, Li Sheng could not have a weak queen.

Su Yunlai said with a smile: "It seems that this moon cake is really delicious, even the county lord can't help but ask Niangniang!" My mother will give me a share, right? ”

As soon as Su Yunlai opened his mouth, he turned the main thing that Anning County asked for into a moon cake that he liked to eat, which was regarded as relieving Yun Huanting, and the other ladies also made fun of opening their mouths and asked for a moon cake, which was regarded as a divergence of the words.

Yun Wanting breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Su Yunlai's eyes with a bit of sincere gentleness, Su Yun smiled back and forth, and everyone talked about other topics.

Princess Zhuang glared at the county lord of Anning fiercely, the county lord of Anning trembled, glanced at Su Yunlai, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything more, lowered her head and continued to drink.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly stood up to greet the holy driver, it seems that Li Sheng and Yun Huanting have a very good relationship, this is to support Yun Huanting.

Yun Huanting's eyes lit up, and she stood up to greet her: "Why did Your Majesty come here, it's still early to leave the banquet." ”

An old lady on the side said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty remembers Niangniang, so I can't wait to come and visit Niangniang." ”

She is old and senior, and she is not afraid of being blamed when she says this.

Yun Huanting's face turned red, and when she looked at Li Sheng's handsome face, her eyes were full of smiles.

Li Sheng also smiled, turned his head and saw Su Yunlai in the crowd, and his heart suddenly felt a little astringent.

"Don't make fun of me, the old lady is really these few people who are not angry, they are absent-minded in discussing matters with me, and they have their wives in mind, so I have to take them to the queen to sit here."

Li Sheng was followed by Su Zhan and Gu Junyan and several young courtiers, Su Zhan and Gu Junyan were the most cooperative, and immediately looked at their wives, causing everyone to laugh good-naturedly.

"Princess Wuyang has arrived!"

Princess Wuyang walked in, she hadn't seen her for a long time, she was a little haggard, Li Sheng was very happy to see her, and deliberately pulled her to sit beside her.

Everyone sat down, Gu Junyan couldn't wait to look at Su Yunlai, and when he saw her smiling slightly, he was a little relieved.

Yun Huanting saw the interaction between Gu Junyan and Su Yunlai, and said with a smile: "The young general is really good to the young lady. ”

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Huanting: "It seems that I didn't do well and made the queen dissatisfied?" ”

Yun Huanting's cheeks turned crimson, and she shouted angrily: "Your Majesty! ”

Li Sheng put away his smile, looked up at Su Yunlai, and suppressed the emotions in his heart.

Several bigwigs all have their own thoughts, and none of them are eating.

Gu Junyan went out to change his clothes, and as soon as he walked back, he saw Princess Wuyang blocked at the palace gate.

Gu Junyan paused and walked over without changing his face, Princess Wuyang couldn't help but call: "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Gu Junyan's expression remained unchanged, Princess Wuyang's face was a little sad under the moonlight, and he said calmly: "The minister has nothing to say. ”

Princess Wuyang's face changed, and she smiled self-deprecatingly: "From beginning to end, I have always been self-inflicted, and today I have been thinking, if my uncle wanted to find relatives for me, I was not so proud, not so worried, and directly said my thoughts, would all this be different now?" ”

Gu Junyan said without hesitation: "Princess, you drank too much. ”

"I didn't drink much!" Princess Wuyang shouted in displeasure, "You answer me! You never thought about me, did you? ”

Gu Junyan had a headache, Princess Wuyang was the only sister of the emperor, she had no worries, he did, if people saw it, he would not be innocent with the emperor's sister, and he would not be able to say it clearly!

Gu Junyan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Before I met Ah Wan, I didn't think about getting married, and after I met her, I didn't think about marrying someone else. ”

Princess Wuyang's face suddenly turned pale, with a crumbling vulnerability, he said it clearly enough, and he couldn't be more straightforward, even if she said her mind at that time, it was just a humiliation.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, still not giving up, she always thought that if she said it, he would at least move her heart, it turned out that she only moved herself.

Today, there is another person who has experienced the same thing as Gu Junyan, when Princess An Ning toasted Li Sheng, she accidentally spilled the wine on him, Li Sheng was too lazy to worry about her, so he went to the side hall to change clothes, and then was blocked by the county lord of An Ning.

"Brother Sheng," the county lord of An Ning had an abnormal red tide on his face: "I don't know if I can still call you that, you are now the emperor." ”

Li Sheng frowned slightly, "An Ning, you're drunk, wait until you're sober and talk to me." ”

The county lord of An Ning smiled: "Yes, I'm not sober, since the day I fell in love with you, I haven't been sober, I've been stuck in it, but what to do, I can't wake up, Brother Sheng, you are the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, why can't you tolerate me?" ”

Li Sheng looked at her sad face, and sighed slightly in his heart, "Anning, I am for your good, there will be a good man in the future, who will treat you wholeheartedly, and I will give you a marriage ...... when I arrive."

"It's not the one I love, so what's the good one?" An Ning asked with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I just want to be by your side, even if you don't love me, can you not deprive me of the opportunity to love you?" ”

Not every man can be calm in the face of a woman who loves him wholeheartedly, looking at her miserable face, Li Sheng's heart moved.

Fortunately, Jingfen, the eldest palace maid next to the queen's mother, was ordered to come over to see Li Sheng, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

"Your Majesty forgives you." Jingfen hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Li Sheng came back to his senses, turned around and left, and didn't look at the county lord of Anning again.

Li Sheng and Gu Junyan returned to the banquet, both of them were a little excited, and they soon dispersed, and the two did not reveal this chance encounter.

Su Yunlai didn't know, but Yun Huanting did.

After Yun Huanting listened, her expression was dark, and she thought to herself, I am afraid that Li Sheng is also thinking about the county lord of Anning, and she can't help but feel a little sour in her heart, which woman is willing to share her husband with others? But she is not an ordinary woman, she is the queen, she wants the mother of the world, instead of waiting for Li Sheng to open her mouth to accept people, it is better to speak first, and she can also exchange for the emperor.

So when she went to bed that day, Yun Huanting asked Li Sheng tentatively: "Your Majesty is interested in the county lord of Anning......

Li Sheng raised his head and glanced at her: "Does the queen want me to do it intentionally or unintentionally?" ”

Yun Huanting was stunned, met his gloomy gaze, and pursed her lips: "If Your Majesty is interested, the concubine, the concubine will naturally make proper arrangements for Your Majesty," paused, saw that his expression changed, and hurriedly said: "It's just that the concubine is in her heart, and naturally she cares about it." ”

Li Sheng pulled the corners of his mouth and lay down, Yun Huanting felt uneasy, for the first time, she was a little unsure of this man's thoughts, and slept next to him obediently, but this night, neither of them said a word again.

Yun Huanting suddenly began to question her long-standing cognition, is it right to be a perfect virtuous queen?

Princess Wuyang looked at the man who rejected her mercilessly, and was gentle and considerate to another woman at the banquet, how could she be embarrassed?

She couldn't hide her heartache, as soon as the banquet was over, she ran out, sent the people around her, found a tavern to drink, she was dressed luxuriously, and at first glance she was a girl from a big family, and the store didn't dare to offend, so she had to accompany her.

As soon as Xu Guan walked into the tavern, he saw Princess Wuyang drinking alcohol, and Princess Wuyang saw him and dragged him over to drink together.

"Come, drink with me!" Princess Wuyang grabbed him and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, the wine was very spicy, and her tears fell, she wiped it away casually, and grinned at Xu Guanyi: "I didn't cry, yes, this wine is too choking." ”

Xu Guanyi looked at her with a bitter face, and silently poured a glass of wine for her, but Princess Wuyang was a little surprised: "Aren't you stopping me?" ”

"Life is too short, and it's a good thing to be drunk." Xu Guanyi said lightly, and then poured himself another glass: "I'll drink with the princess!" ”

"Happy!" Princess Wuyang happily patted him on the shoulder.

The two drank a whole pot of wine, and finally they both got drunk.

Early the next morning, Princess Wuyang woke up in a strange place, she was blindfolded, and she had a splitting headache before she remembered that she seemed to have drunk too much yesterday.

She rolled out of bed and walked out, and as soon as she opened the door, someone fell.

Xu Guanyi rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground, still with the dazed laziness when he just woke up, Princess Wuyang was stunned for a moment: "You, why are you here?" ”

Xu Guanyi's fair face was marked with a red mark, and he said with some grievances: "The princess doesn't remember?" After a pause, he said: "Yesterday the princess drank too much, and the minister was worried that sending the princess back to the palace would attract rumors, so he took it upon himself to send the princess to this inn to sleep for one night." ”

"And what are you doing out there?"

"The minister was worried that thieves would take advantage of the danger, so he guarded the princess outside the door."

Princess Wuyang's heart warmed, and then she said, "Since that's the case, why don't you enter the door?" ”

Xu Guanyi said as a matter of course: "Lonely men and widows, how can they be in the same room!" ”

Princess Wuyang was speechless for a while, and then asked, "Then why don't you send me back to your house?" ”

"How's that going to work? How could the minister ruin the princess's reputation! Xu Guanyi said confidently.

Princess Wuyang lost her temper, just looked at him in embarrassment, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.
