Chapter 32: Single-mindedness
Miao Yu was quiet along the way, and was very satisfied with the two equally quiet people in the carriage. It was not the first time he had brought someone into the palace, and there were not many young people who were so calm, so when he got off at the destination, his attitude became more polite.
Gu Changming's feet fell to the ground, and he didn't even raise his eyes to look at the surrounding environment, let alone ask what kind of place this was. Every foot and inch under this sky is owned by the emperor, regardless of things, let alone distance or distance.
The little phoenix was a little nervous, and when he saw his calm side face, he hurriedly learned to look at his nose and nose, and ignored everything around him.
"Come with me." Miao Yu waved his hand, and someone immediately pushed the heavy courtyard door up again. He was a little curious if Gu Changming would go back to explore and check, but Gu Changming was more calm, as if he was confident, and he already knew where this place was, "Gu Gongzi has been here?" ”
"No, I didn't." Gu Changming replied truthfully.
"Not curious at all?" Miao Yu knew that there were some things that should not be asked, and the blame was only that this Gu Changming's temperament was too special.
"Seeing the emperor, it's not suitable for curiosity." Gu Changming's tone was light, but there was no room for others to refute.
Miao Yu was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, Gu Changming looked at Ping and Sven, but his mouth was unforgiving. He seems to have lost his identity in front of this young man, and he can't turn around in a roundabout way.
"As I said earlier, this girl is going to stay out for the time being." Miao Yu led people through about three gates, each of which was carved with intricate patterns, which was beautiful. Gu Changming was interested in these simple and exquisite stone carvings, and took a few more looks.
"It's okay, let her stay in the yard, it's just a little windy, if you wait too long, it's best to arrange it to be inside the house, don't let her get cold." Gu Changming did not shy away from his intimate relationship with Little Phoenix, and he didn't care about other people's eyes, "Phoenix, I'll be in for a long time, you don't have to worry." ”
The little phoenix didn't look worried at all, and turned around and asked Miao Yu: "Is there a snack in the palace here, I like to eat lotus cake the most." ”
Miao Yu was sneering, others knew that they would be overjoyed to see the emperor, or they would suffer from gains and losses, Gu Changming's calmness was already very special, and this girl who only thought about eating was also rare: "Don't worry, girl, since the emperor is here, the imperial chef must also be there." The dim sum tube is full, and immediately let people make lotus cakes and send them over, you just wait. ”
Little Phoenix had no other objections, and even Gu Changming didn't seem to care when he left her sight.
Miao Yu retracted her gaze: "She seems to have no heart and no lungs, but Gu Gongzi likes a girl with such a character?" ”
"You said it too, it's like two words." Gu Changming replied very cleverly, the little phoenix was not worried, but had other plans in his heart. Miao Yu couldn't see her scrutiny, and those years in Qi Kunmen were definitely not a waste of time. How many points she has stepped on, how many roofs she has stepped on, not to mention coming in all the way, the precise position where her eyes fell, probably even he may not have such good eyesight, and directly arranged such a large mansion, and completely remembered it after a glance.
Miao Yu refused to speak again, otherwise even the most basic self-confidence would be lost. Gu Changming couldn't see where the guards were here, and after pushing open the two doors, the emperor sat in the middle of the house, which was very similar to the imperial study in the palace, but the difference was that the local pattern was slightly smaller.
Song Renzong seemed to have calculated the time when Gu Changming would appear, holding the file in his hand, and when he looked up, it was the moment when the two of them came in outside the door. Gu Changming's gaze did not evade, but he just stopped and gave the emperor a big salute.
"It's not in the palace, Xiao Gu is casual." Song Renzong's expression was serene and peaceful, and he didn't see the slightest anxiety and uneasiness. However, Gu Changming knew very well that if it wasn't a big event, how could the emperor throw away many miscellaneous things in the palace and come here to avoid idleness.
"You stand down first." Song Renzong waved his hand at Miao Yu, and then pushed the letter in front of him forward, "Ruyi wrote a letter back home, and I happened to be reading it just now." She has no more than three opportunities to talk to me in the palace a year, but this letter to her family is written with deep affection and meaning, which makes me reluctant to give up, and I really want to call her back and stay by my side. ”
Gu Changming didn't mean to touch the letter at all, just listen to the emperor quietly.
Song Renzong really continued to say: "Ruyi is pregnant, and said that Liao Shengzong is very good to her, although she is not a queen, but she is almost treated equally, and she specially built a palace with Central Plains style for her to live in, in order to relieve homesickness." ”
"The third princess is knowledgeable and reasonable, and her personality is generous and soft, and she must be extremely fond of the monarch of Liao." Gu Changming does have a good impression of the third princess, this princess has lost her mother since she was a child, and her life in the palace is not smooth, and her personality can be so open-minded, which is not easy.
He sometimes can't help but wonder if this is because he has the same personality as his biological mother Concubine Min, so the emperor will never forget Concubine Min, you must know that in such a smoke-free battlefield of intrigue and deceit in the palace, women who can maintain such a character are as rare as rare.
"She also mentions you in her letters, and even mentions that she said that there was one of you who was extremely kind to her, and she remembered at last that the face of that man looked like a concubine in the palace who had died young, and not as she had said earlier." Song Renzong's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, as if time was frozen at this moment, no longer moving forward, let alone retreating.
Gu Changming saw that there was a small portrait under the letter, although only a corner was exposed, and he could see that it was the hair ornament of a woman who had not left the pavilion.
Song Renzong pulled out this small portrait directly: "This is painted by Ruyi according to the person in his impression." When I saw this little image, I was almost taken aback. ”
Gu Changming was not surprised, it was indeed a portrait of the little phoenix, because it fell on the paper, erasing most of the layer of agility and liveliness on her body, and the rest was a demure and gentle expression.
"I thought I had seen the old man, and I thought that this was the deepest memory of Ruyi's impression, but it was not. I quickly found out, and sure enough, there is such a person, and this person is right next to you. Song Renzong was reluctant to show the small statue to Gu Changming for too long, and took it back again.
"Your Majesty, this person is not only by my side, but also here." Gu Changming grabbed the words that Old Imperial Physician Wen said out of his mind and completely put it aside, "She is another person, not the person the emperor thinks." ”
"Xiao Gu is really powerful, even what I am thinking in my heart can be guessed immediately, the tiger father has no dog." Song Renzong was obviously praising on his lips, but there was no joy at the corners of his eyes.
Gu Changming secretly sighed, he was bent on not mentioning this matter again, it was good to cover up the past, how could the topic be picked up, as if the spell had been unlocked, and his mouth was almost closed.
Could it be that it is the same situation that my father provoked the emperor's anger that day?
Song Renzong's face changed again and again: "You brought people here, Miao Yu, get me in!" ”
Miao Yu seemed to be waiting outside the door all the time, and before the words fell, he came in in a real embarrassment, kowtowed to the emperor before saying: "Your Majesty, this is the person Gu Gongzi wants to bring, and he said that he would only stay outside, and he would definitely not disturb the emperor." She is also very observant of her duties and does not leave an inch in a small area. ”
Song Renzong's eyebrows raised, Miao Yu didn't understand where his anger came from at all, and what to do to resolve it in time.
"Your Majesty, there are so many similar people in the world, you don't have to see them all one by one." Gu Changming was afraid that the emperor would announce the little phoenix coming in at this time, this girl was probably eating with a bow left and right with both hands, so it was best not to disrupt her steps.
"Ruyi doesn't know who her biological mother is, all the people in the palace have the same caliber, when the concubine gave birth to her, she held her last breath in childbirth, she fell to the ground, and the person followed." Song Renzong stood up and walked to Miao Yu's side, "How old was Ruyi at that time, and how much impression did she have of her biological mother, but this picture she drew was really surprising, can such a young child really have such a good memory?" ”
"Some things are unforgettable, and children's memory is not good because usually, they will choose what they want to listen to and want to learn to stay, and forget the rest." Gu Changming actually knew all about this, and he never thought that the emperor would bring up the old things again today.
This is painted by her own hands, Concubine Min can paint, Ruyi followed her ability, a hand-brushed flowers and birds painted vividly, almost real. I look at this portrait, and all I think of is the old things from more than ten years ago, announcing that I will enter the temple with you. Song Renzong didn't even look at Miao Yu with a stingy look, "This is what you promised?" ”
Miao Yu knelt in the corner and didn't dare to move: "Yes, Gu Gongzi promised to ......"
"Shut up, he promises it's his business, and you'll be responsible for what you promise." Song Renzong saw that Miao Yu's face turned from white to red, and then from red to white, and went back and forth several times, before he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for the emperor's mention, the minister is willing to be punished." ”
The corners of Song Renzong's mouth were a little looser: "I can understand my point, I will not hold you accountable, bring her over, I have something to ask her." ”
"She went to see the Queen Mother." At this time, Gu Changming, what rules, what etiquette, all left behind. What he wants is to attract the emperor's attention and not let the emperor go his own way.
"The Queen Mother should still remember Concubine Min, so what did the Queen Mother say?" Song Renzong flew up towards Miao Yu, who couldn't kneel for a long time, "It's still wasting time here, bring people in first!" ”
Miao Yu was kicked in the ribs by this kick, although it hurt, according to the emperor's foot strength, he would definitely not be injured, but in front of Gu Changming, his face was a little unbearable.
Gu Changming never turned around, leaving Miao Yu with a whole back, no matter whether Miao Yu saw it or not, at least in his heart he was a lot more relaxed.
"Go now." Miao Yu hurriedly got up from the ground, and staggered out to find someone.
"You know that you want to see me even more, so you specially brought someone over to show me a look?" Song Renzong's heart was already not calm, if Gu Changming could guess who he saw and where he was roughly located, it didn't matter. The important thing is that he chose to bring a woman who looked like Concubine Min and brought it to him outside the palace, what was his purpose?
"The Queen Mother said that she was not Concubine Min's child. Although the appearance of the third princess is far from Concubine Min, she is the most similar to the emperor among the many princes and princesses. Gu Changming heard the door panel behind him, pushed it open and closed, pushed it open again, and closed it again.
Although it is said that there are no eyes on the back, Gu Changming can clearly and clearly that Miao Yu brought the little phoenix in. The little phoenix was right behind him, no more than five paces away.
Song Renzong's gaze was completely locked in the direction where the little phoenix was standing, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, unable to spit out or swallow.
