Chapter 266: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
Ever since Gu Qingcheng came up with the idea of letting Tuoba Yu go to see An Lingtina, her heart has been in turmoil, and she doesn't know what the outcome of their meeting will be.
Will you do bad things with good intentions?
Zhan Ying brought them a plate of peach fruits in a timely manner, and then withdrew with interest.
A package of fragrant peach blossoms has been in full bloom and has begun to bear fruit.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the bright peach fruit, and couldn't wait to take a taste.
Sure enough, it's sweet and juicy, and the ancestors must have liked it!
She happily ran over with the peach fruit and sent it to Tuoba Jun's mouth: "Tuoba Jun, it's delicious, you can taste it!" ”
Tuoba, who was rolling out ramen, took a big bite according to his words.
Then he puffed out his mouth and nodded.
"The ancestor loves to eat peaches the most, and she must like the peaches here to the ancestors." Gu Qingcheng said sweetly while eating.
"Don't worry, most of the peaches outside are ripe, I let the guards pick them, and I'll personally send them to the ancestor later!" Tuoba Jun said while shaking his face.
Tuoba Jun's martial arts are perfect, reaching the peak, cooking and cooking are also easy, and pulling up noodles is even more superb.
Even if it was a simple Sanxian ramen, the thin noodles were like a floating shadow in his hands, and the wisps were wrapped around Gu Qingcheng.
After a moment's effort, Gu Tingcheng smelled the fragrance of Sanxian ramen, and she also unexpectedly found a lot of exquisite pastries.
Feelings last night Tuoba Jun lived in a package of flowers, ready pastries.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
A good man like Tuoba Jun really should only exist in heaven!
A package of Fanghua is like a fairyland home, and there is a warm and romantic handsome man, any girl's family has a dead love for him.
Gu Tingcheng thought of Feihong Feiyan, although he knew that Tuoba Jun's guards would settle them down, he still asked with concern:
"Tuoba Jun, let's eat by ourselves, how can Zhan Ying and Feihong Feiyan eat?"
"Don't worry, Zhan Ying will settle down. They are knowledgeable and will not come to disturb our husband and wife's affection. "Tuoba Road.
"You'd rather cook for yourself than be disturbed." Gu Qingcheng ate the hibiscus cake he sent into his mouth.
Tuoba Jun looked at her affectionately, and his tone was actually a little desolate: "Hongchen is in a hurry, with a flick of my fingers, I just want to cook a few more meals for my lady." ”
Gu Qingcheng's heart was full of emotion, his throat choked, and tears welled up.
She hurried to eat the noodles.
The three fresh ramen noodles made by Tuoba Jun have a milky white and rich soup, and the meat and vegetarian dishes are intertwined, which is fresh and mellow, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.
Tuoba Jun said: "Moreover, now we can still enjoy the world of the two, once we get married, the girl in Manfu is not even comfortable hugging you, I am upset when I think about it!" ”
"Tuoba Jun, the big wedding is a very distant thing." Gu Qingcheng said slowly, with a hint of worry, "Didn't Princess Xianji make trouble with Your Majesty and ask you to marry her?" ”
"That's wishful thinking on her part, and she won't succeed!" Tuoba Jun is full of nonchagrinous grilled rice.
"However, Your Majesty must give her an explanation." Gu Qingcheng said without worry.
The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, a holy decree, if Tuoba is not respected, it is a protest decree!
She didn't know if the road ahead with Tuoba Jun was a spring blossom or a thorny jungle.
It's just that this man who is willing to cook for himself, she has long been deeply involved in it.
Even if there are no tens of millions of years of past, she will be willing to wait for him.
"Don't worry, no one can stop us from being together." Tuoba took a big bite of ramen, his tone firm.
Gu Qingcheng looked at him warmly and smiled, she liked to watch Tuoba Jun cook informally and eat happily.
"Tuoba Jun, Liu Ziye has already held a chess competition in Guozi Taixue. If Great Wei wins, Liu Chuyu takes twenty copper and iron ore dowries, if she wants to marry you, General Gaoyang Wang Feiying, what will you do? ”
"She's delusional!" Tuoba Jun said: "Don't talk about twenty copper and iron mines, even if she comes with Liu Song Jiangshan, I, Tuoba Jun, will not be shaken by her!" ”
"Whew! That's because people won't bring the country to marry, otherwise you won't make a lot of nonsense. ”
Gu Qingcheng pretended to be a dauce, but his heart was sweet.
"Little thing, still don't worry about your own man, afraid of being robbed by others?" Tuoba laughed.
"Who's worried about you?" Gu Qingcheng pouted.
After a pause, he sighed again: "Whether it is a man or a woman, the saddest thing is to pay wrongly." We can be happy with each other, which is really the greatest favor of God. ”
"It's good to know." Tuoba said softly, reaching out to caress her face.
"So, you have to have confidence in yourself, believe in your lady, and don't eat dry vinegar in the future, okay?" Gu Qingcheng said gently.
"Good...... I try my best. Tuoba's eyes had a wicked smile in his eyes.
Hee-hee...... He can endure humiliation, but if someone covets his Allure, even if he agrees not to be jealous, this vinegar will pour out, and he is powerless to stop it.
After eating noodles, Gu Tingcheng had to rush back to the palace, and she had to go back to the hospital first to meet Grandpa Tie, Aunt Shangguan and Tie Dan.
I was not in the hall for these two days, and I wonder if the new people are well.
"After eating the noodles of this king, you want to run away from the lady of the village, how can it be so cheap?" Tuoba Jun pulled her into his arms again.
After a hot kiss, he reluctantly took the hand of Allure and went out.
Every time before leaving Yilanhua, Gu Tingcheng had to hug the largest peach tree and say goodbye to Grandma Peach.
She silently hugged the big tree, as if she was nestled in the arms of Grandma Peach.
"Grandma Pantao, you live here, and Allure will come to see you next time."
Gu Qingcheng said goodbye to Grandma Peach, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a fist-sized peach hanging on the tree, at first glance, it was a heart!
It's just that the heart is red, and this peach is a little green and unripe, which is different in eye color.
In the folk, strange-shaped fruits are not unusual, she just smiled slightly, and she didn't think deeply.
Gu Tingcheng returned to Yixintang first, and those victims and those who were released began to distribute the fields one after another.
Most of the people are gone, and most of the people left are those who have not yet returned.
They are basically able to heal the sick on their own.
Grandpa Tie and Aunt Shangguan commanded Ruoding and managed Yixintang in an orderly manner.
Bobcat and Ah Qi also took good care of the victims, and taught Tie Dan martial arts very seriously.
"Sister, you're back!" Tie Dan saw Gu Qingcheng come back, his face was happy, and he immediately ran over.
He was much more cheerful.
Grandpa Tie looked at them and smiled: "Look at this child, when I saw my sister coming back, I was so happy that I danced with joy." ”
"Grandpa Tie, Aunt Shangguan!" Gu Qingcheng stepped forward and took the hands of Grandpa Tie and Aunt Shangguan.
The iron eggs also rubbed up.
"Look what my sister brought to Tiedan." Gu Qingcheng looked at Tie Dan again and smiled.
Feihong Feiyan brought over a few food boxes, which were full of exquisite pastries.
There are many, many peach fruits in the back.
She couldn't eat the pastries that Tuoba Jun prepared for him, and she didn't want to waste them, so she even ate them and let Feihong Feiyan pack them back.
Even with the peach fruit, it is almost a full car.
She asked Feihong Feiyan and the medicine lady to distribute the pastries and peach fruits to everyone to taste.
When Tie Dan was eating peaches, Gu Qingcheng was beside him, gently stroking his head, with a doting face.
Tie Dan looked at Gu Qingcheng, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he still ate the peach sweetly.
"Tiedan, what do you want to tell your sister?" Gu Tingcheng looked at his words and asked, "Is it my sister's words of gratitude?" ”
After a pause, Gu Qingcheng smiled again: "If that's the case, there's no need, there's no need to be polite to my sister." ”
“…… Sister, I heard that you once married the king of Nan'an, but now you have withdrawn? Tie Dan looked left and right, and still couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." Gu Qingcheng hummed softly.
"Okay." Tie Dan only whispered one word, and ate the peach quietly.
"Don't Tie Dan like King Nan'an?" Gu Qingcheng smiled and touched his head.
Tie Dan looked at Gu Qingcheng and smiled, and said in a low voice: "It's because my sister doesn't like King Nan'an, so she quit with him." If my sister doesn't like it, Tie Dan doesn't like it! ”
Tie Dan actually said a lot of things at once.
His skin was dark, and his teeth were whiter.
Peach juice overflowed the corners of his mouth.
Gu Qingcheng stretched out his hand to wipe him and smiled silently.
Leaving Yixintang, Gu Qingcheng's carriage walked into the streets of Pingcheng, passing by a pavilion.
Suddenly, she reined in the horse with a handlebar-style "hoop", stopped, and shouted in a low voice: "Lord Anping!" ”
"What's wrong?" The geese lifted the curtain and looked out.
Suddenly suffocated, he shrank back and looked at Gu Qingcheng hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingcheng looked at the hesitant Feiyan and asked.
"County Lord, it's that demon again!" The geese whispered.
"Demons?" Gu Qingcheng frowned.
"Prince Liu Song!" Feiyan held back a low sentence.
Fei Hong hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked at it, then turned around and nodded: "It's really the Prince of Liu Song." ”
At this time, Liu Ziye's maid outside was already speaking: "County Lord Anping, our prince wants to meet the county lord." ”
Gu Tingcheng actually didn't want to be very close to Prince Liu Song.
First, this will involve suspicion between the two countries, and people with good intentions will make a fuss about her close relationship with Prince Liu Song.
Second, the vinegar jar in her house, she really didn't dare to provoke any man casually.
But after all, he is the prince, and he has sponsored 100,000 loads of grain in the porridge shed.
I have traveled together and experienced life and death before.
And most importantly, he is still the good sister of her dreams.
Even though she didn't dare to meet more, she couldn't bear to refuse.
He came to Great Wei as a guest, and he also needed to treat each other politely, lest the two countries have an excuse to meet each other.
And if the crown prince could be persuaded to go back and persuade his father not to provoke the Great Wei, the Great Wei would not have started a war with Liu Song, and the common people would have been spared the flames of war.
She got up and signaled that she was going out, and Feihong hurriedly lifted the curtain for her and moved the stool.
There were several luxurious carriages parked outside, Liu Ziye, the prince of Liu Song who was dressed in a phoenix brocade robe, and Liu Chuyu, the princess of Shanyin, who was surrounded by pearls and hairpins, stood in front of Gu Qingcheng's carriage.
Although Liu Chuyu's eyebrows were frowning lightly and there was lingering melancholy, he couldn't hide his delicate and gorgeous.
The sister and brother are full of spring breeze, and the other is lonely.
"Cheng'er, let's meet again." Liu Ziye shook the feather fan and said with a smile.
It was as if all the sunshine had been plundered by him, and his face was bright.
Liu Ziye not only has the appearance of a captivating city, but also is suave and sunny, so that the people around him can be infected with his joy, and his heart seems to be brightened.
His brightness and Tuoba Yu's gloom are two completely different and stark contrasts.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Gu Qingcheng smiled and saluted Liu Ziye's brother and sister.
"Hurry up and be exempt ......from the courtesy," the Liu sisters and brothers said in unison.
"Cheng'er, what a coincidence, we just came back, and you passed through the Song Courtyard." Liu Ziye approached Gu Qingcheng's side slightly, and said quite affectionately.
Gu Tingcheng raised his eyes and looked, it turned out that this was the temporary residence of Prince Liu Song and his entourage.
"Where have you been?" Gu Tingcheng asked.
"Naturally, I went to Guozi to study and came back." Liu Ziye said proudly, "This prince has been playing in the ring for many days in the Great Wei Kingdom, and he has won every battle for several days. The chess players of Great Wei have so far been unable to parry even the three major chess players under my hands, not to mention the level of Prince Ben. ”
"Oh, it seems that Jiangnan chess masters are like clouds, and they really shouldn't be underestimated." Gu Qingcheng said suddenly.
Turn your eyes to look at several chess players dressed as Confucian scholars behind Liu Ziye.
"Today, Prince Ben is in a good mood, and it is rare to meet Cheng'er again, so he is even more happy." Liu Ziye warmly invited, "It's better to meet by chance, so I invite Cheng'er to go in and sit in the Song Courtyard, and the prince immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet to entertain Cheng'er!" ”
After Liu Ziye finished speaking, he glanced sideways at his close maid, and the maid bowed slightly, and then led a few hands and feet to enter diligently.
Gu Qingcheng hesitated slightly, she had to hurry back to the palace.
The general Bu Tiansheng, who was waiting beside them, also bowed to Gu Qingcheng and said:
"Our prince and princess have long wanted to invite the county lord of Anping to the Lige Courtyard for a gathering, but the lord of Anping is busy, so he has delayed it so far. Now that the person has arrived at the door, please take the time to appreciate the face of the county lord of Anping! ”
"Look at you, even the generals are so gracious." Gu Qingcheng bowed slightly to Bu Tiansheng.
"Cheng'er is the savior of this prince, and I haven't officially invited Cheng'er to thank him, so I can't pass through the door without entering anyway." Liu Ziye pulled her along, and his tone was like a coquette.
"That's the duty of a healer, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to take it to heart." Gu Tingcheng smiled politely, "Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also gave 100,000 loads of food to the medical house, this merit and favor, how should Allure repay His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Liu Chuyu also forced a smile: "County Lord Anping, you are our first friend here and my imperial brother's life-saving benefactor, we are grateful to the county lord, and that is also right." ”
Gu Tingcheng saw that they were full of enthusiasm, and it was really better to meet by chance, so he agreed to go in and sit down.
"There's no need to prepare for the banquet, I have to rush back to the palace." Gu Tingcheng Road.
After a slight pause, he said: "I heard that the Farewell Song Courtyard is dedicated to entertaining state guests, since you have passed by, I will go in and visit this building, and eat a cup of tea." ”
"Okay, please." Liu Ziye's smile is like a flower.
The group walked into the courtyard of the song bereavement, and his attendant general Bu Tiansheng and those chess masters also followed.
The Lige Courtyard is a special courtyard for entertaining state guests, whether it is the size of the area or the decoration inside, the pavilions and pavilions, all like a simple palace.
Its luxury is incomparable even to the Gu Mansion.
Gu Tingcheng visited the courtyard for a while, and said: "After all, this is the courtyard for entertaining state guests, and it is not as good as the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, are you still used to it here?" ”
"Habit is naturally impossible to get used to, it can only be settled." Liu Ziye sighed slightly.
"It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for half a day. Since the prince feels wronged, why don't he return to China as soon as possible, and it is always inconvenient to be a guest in other countries. Gu Qingcheng smiled.
"Cheng'er, this prince is going to set up a Go ring in Dawei, don't you know what he means?" Liu Ziye's fox eyes looked at Gu Qingcheng slyly.
Gu Tingcheng was a little stunned, and then smiled dryly: "Of course I know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry the princess of our Great Wei." ”
Liu Ziye smiled silently, and he didn't say anything.
After just watching it briefly, the maid had already prepared a banquet and invited Gu Qingcheng and the crown princess to take a seat.
If you come, you will be safe, and people have already prepared a banquet quickly, and it will be hypocritical to excuse yourself.
They sat down to raise their glasses and have a little drink, Gu Tingcheng had just eaten the ramen made by Tuoba Jun, and he couldn't eat anything.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's ring, whether you win or lose, you have to send twenty cities or twenty copper and iron mines to Great Wei." Gu Tingcheng asked Liu Ziye, "Allure doesn't understand, why would the prince do such a loss-making business, and your father would actually agree?" ”
"The marriage between the two countries, if it can be turned into a jade silk from now on, it will naturally be a great thing for the benefit of the people of the two countries." Gu Qingcheng said.
After a pause, he looked at Liu Ziye, and his face couldn't help but feel worried: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Great Wei, will your father agree to you on the surface to set up the ring and send troops to Great Wei behind your back?" ”
"Probably not." Liu Ziye groaned slightly, "The prince is in the Great Wei, and the father always has to take care of the prince's safety. Besides, half of the troops are in the hands of General Bu, and I haven't heard of sending generals. ”
Gu Tingcheng couldn't say anything more, and only said to Liu Ziye: "I hope that Your Highness's trip is not a vain deal." ”
"Whether it is in vain or not depends on the wisdom of the people." Liu Ziye looked at Gu Qingcheng affectionately and said, "As long as this prince wins the beauty, it is enough!" ”
“…… Win the beauty? Gu Qingcheng muttered.
Thinking of Tuoba Ling's affection for her eldest brother, if she followed Liu Ziye back to Liu Song for the well-being of the people, wouldn't it be a pity for her marriage with her eldest brother?
Liu Ziye finished speaking, but looked at Liu Chuyu and sighed: "However, my imperial sister can't wait to hope that this prince loses!" ”
“…… Want Your Highness to lose? Gu Qingcheng thoughtfully, looked at Liu Chuyu and asked, "Could it be that the eldest princess is in Dawei, and she has a favorite object?" ”
She is very entangled, and hopes that the person Princess Sanyin likes will not be Tuobajun, if she is infatuated and wrongly paid, everyone will be embarrassed and sad.
And maybe you don't even have to be friends.
“…… Where to find a favorite object. Liu Chuyu had an embarrassed look on his face.
After a moment of shame, there was a silence that could not be hidden.
"Hahaha, look, the imperial sister is shy!" Liu Ziye shook his feather fan and laughed.
"Brother Huang!" Liu Chuyu scolded Liu Ziye in a low voice, "There are guests here, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Hey! If the imperial sister can like others, can't the imperial brother say it? Besides, Cheng'er is not an outsider! Liu Ziye waved his sleeves, looking uninhibited, "Although he is not as handsome as the prince of Gaoyang, he is brave and good at fighting, but he may not be a good horse of my Great Song Dynasty." ”
After Liu Ziye blurted out, he shook his head slightly, with worry on his face.
Gu Tingcheng's heart tightened, only for a short moment.
In fact, it was already expected, so I was not too surprised.
The dragon and phoenix among the Tuoba people are handsome and unparalleled, and they are the best in the world.
It is not easy for any woman to hold in front of the extraordinary Tuoba Jun.
So it was not surprising that she heard that any woman liked Tuoba.
She lowered her eyes slightly and drank her tea, keeping her usual smile.
"So, Sister Huang, it's better for this prince to win." Liu Ziye said again.
Liu Chuyu's face was even more lonely and unhappy.
Bu Tiansheng, who was next to the banquet, listened to their conversation, and only looked at Liu Chuyu gloomily.
Gu Tingcheng hurriedly diverted the topic.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said that for several days, the chess players of Great Wei couldn't even parry the masters under His Highness?" Gu Tingcheng asked with a smile again.
Liu Ziye nodded with a rather conceited smile.
"I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness the Prince is a master of chess, known as a ghost talent, famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Great Wei is really unmatched." Gu Tingcheng was a little sad for the lack of talent in the Great Wei.
"Hey......" Liu Ziye pretended to be modest, "This prince is only famous in Jiangnan." The world is big, there are many capable people, the sages are rising, and the masters are like clouds, they are just hidden and unreleased. ”
"Since Allure has come to the Song Farewell Courtyard, can you ask Your Highness to play a game with your master, so that Allure can also open his eyes?" Gu Qingcheng said again.
Liu Ziye came to Dawei to challenge, and she also learned that she knew herself.
"If there is Yaxing in the city, let's have a game!" Liu Ziye nodded happily.
Then he beckoned to one of his chess players: "Mr. Liu, you and Prince Ben have a while." ”
The maid immediately set up the chessboard, and they began to play against each other.
Mr. Liu's chess skills are already outstanding, but Liu Ziye's chess is like flowing clouds, with endless changes, eclectic, open-minded, and majestic.
And Liu Ziye is good at attacking and killing, and he is very aggressive.
After watching a game between them, Gu Tingcheng couldn't help but watch three games in a row, and he probably knew Liu Ziye's chess path.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's thinking is unfounded, Qingling is changeable, just like Huaiyin using soldiers, after three rounds, he is invincible, he is indeed a ghost!" Gu Qingcheng praised.
"Cheng'er can actually see the chess path of this prince, and he is also proficient in chess, right?" Liu Ziye said with a slight shock.
"The Allure class has an axe." Gu Tingcheng shook his head slightly: "Allure only occasionally watches others play chess, and only talks a few nonsense." ”
Gu Tingcheng didn't stay any longer, so he left and returned to the palace.
Liu Ziye and Liu Chuyu also politely and thoughtfully sent Gu Chengcheng out of the Song Courtyard.
When she was about to arrive at the gate of the other courtyard, Gu Tingcheng thought of the deep affection and kindness of the flower on the other side of the dream to herself, no matter whether Liu Ziye was the good sister in the dream, she hoped that he could return to Liu Song safely.
So he stopped, and said with concern:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we were assassinated in Taiheng Mountain that day, and the assassins were obviously coming for His Highness. Nowadays, even in the capital of Great Wei, the assassins are invincible, and His Highness must be careful to guard against it. ”
Seeing that Gu Tingcheng cared for him, Liu Ziye was greatly relieved.
looked at Gu Qingcheng sweetly: "Good city, I know." ”
Gu Qingcheng didn't have time to think about whether he would be wrong, in short, she reminded her and felt at ease.
