In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Zhang De, when he was in his prime, Pei Yongqing of Xiangguo asked Gu Ying to be old enough to learn in recent years, so he asked him to pick out an alert and intelligent person from among the princes and grandsons, and selected them as companions, and they were merged into the Ming Hall to learn the way of governing the country. Gu Yan agreed.

As soon as the news came out, Gu Xuan was surprised and delighted, although the maids and servants were busy, they still couldn't hold back their excitement, and slipped out alone, holding their heads high, and spreading joy everywhere. After turning a few corners, I happened to see Chu Lian holding a birdcage, humming a little tune, and walking towards Queen Chu's residence in a hurry. Gu Xuan saw that the head of the finch in the cage was like a bamboo beak like a nail, the body was like a gourd tail like an arrow, the eyes were like a torch, and he was dressed in five colors, and he couldn't help but be curious. When he was more than ten years old, he was the time to play, Gu Xuan hesitated left and right for a while, and said secretly, "Now that my father values me, although I am not as good as the imperial brother, I can also make the queen of Chu look at each other differently, if I ask Uncle Guo for a few glances at this bird, Uncle Guo will not refuse." ”

Thinking so, my feet quickened a little. Who knew that Chu Lian was tall and big, and his steps were fast, Gu Xuan trotted all the way, but he still watched him enter Zhongli Palace. Although Gu Xuan liked the finch, he was also very afraid of Queen Chu, and hesitated for a long time, but his heart was still very itchy, so he gritted his teeth, looked at the gap between the guards' patrols, and ran to the back of Zhongli Palace with a cigarette on his waist, and looked into the house by holding the window.

Although it is autumn, the noon of September is still unbearably hot. Queen Chu casually put on a single dress, leaned lazily on the bed, took the booklet in her hand, and turned a page from time to time. Chu Lian carried the birdcage, sat on the edge of the bed, teased the finches in the cage, and said to Chu Yu with a smile, "I finally came here, my sister doesn't love me, so I can also look at this bird, when can't I read what Heng'er wrote?" Chu Yu didn't look up and said, "You're so interested, and you're playing with birds." Chu Lian smiled, "How can I have the kung fu to play with birds, but someone else gave me one, and I saw that it was really rare, so I was busy coming to show my sister." After a long time, seeing that Chu Yu was still not interested, Chu Lian whistled a few times, causing the finch to chirp as well. Over there, Gu Xuan, who was hiding behind the house, clapped his hands happily, but here Chu Yu was unhappy, frowning and scolding, "If you mess around again, I will order someone to throw all the cages and birds outside!" Chu Lian was silent at this time, hurriedly handed the cage to the maid waiting aside, squeezed his eyebrows and asked him to take it away quickly, and then turned back to the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's the trouble?" ”

Gu Xuan was only thinking about the bird, and when he saw that the two of them seemed to be talking about the shortcomings of the family, he stood up and wanted to go to the maid. "Then how can Gu Xuan be virtuous, the king actually allowed him to enter the Ming Hall?" As soon as he took a step, he heard the two people in the room mention his name, Gu Xuan was puzzled, so he had to squat down again and pricked up his ears to listen.

I only heard Chu Lian smile and said, "I thought it was something, but he was going to school for a few days, so why bother my sister about it." ”

"That guy was born to a side concubine, and he was stubborn since he was a child, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he looked uneasy and kind all day long. If you enter the school, won't you dirty the lintel of the Ming Hall! Chu Yu became even more angry as he spoke, and he didn't notice that he raised his voice.

Chu Lian hurriedly persuaded her, saying, "The king still has to choose a companion for him to read, if my sister is angry about these things all day long, I am afraid that she will be angry with herself." ”

"You still talk about cool things, Heng'er is also your nephew, what good will it do you if you don't help him?" Chu Yu said angrily.

Gu Xuan squatted outside the house, angry and sad in his heart, it was not a taste at all. I thought that I could finally stop being humiliated, but in the end, everything was business as usual. He didn't understand what he had done wrong, but he was born for a concubine, so he deserved to be looked down upon, snubbed, and never turned over? If everything is decided at the moment of birth, then the way of this world is too unreasonable.

"I never wanted to fight with my eldest brother, I just want to live peacefully with my mother and sister, can't I?" Gu Xuan had never wanted to scream like now, wanting to grab Chu Yu's shoulders and question her loudly.

"Why does it have to be like this!"

Zheng was so angry that he trembled, only to hear Chu Lian in the room say in a deep voice, "What did I do not think about my sister and Heng'er?" In my opinion, it's better to let Shen Zi'an be that kid's companion. Gu Xuan was stunned, and suddenly his heart kept jumping, Shen Zi'an, that stupid little ghost?

Before he came back to his senses, he heard Chu Yu say again, "The Shen family is a famous family, and Shen Zizheng is Heng'er's companion, so he will do things for Heng'er in the future, if Shen Zi'an follows him, wouldn't he make a joke?" ”

"Sister, I don't understand, although the Shen family is famous, it is not a fish in the pool, and it can be handled casually. It's good that Shen Zizheng is really obedient to Heng'er, but if he can't be used by Heng'er, it will become a great disaster. Shen Zi'an is smart and clever, if my sister asks the king to let him be Gu Xuan's companion, it can show her sister's general knowledge, and second, it can also make Shen Xiao in a dilemma......"

The more Chu Lian spoke, the lower his voice became, and Gu Xuan couldn't really hear it, so he stepped on the stone, wanting to get closer to the window. Unexpectedly, he didn't stand firm all of a sudden, and fell to the ground with a bang. Chu Lian turned his head abruptly and shouted, "Who! As he spoke, he got up to check. Gu Xuan saw that his whereabouts were revealed, so he hurriedly got up and ran away, not even bothering to glance at whether there were any others around.

I don't know how far he ran, he finally couldn't support it, his legs were weak and he sat on the ground, his eyes were black, his chest was stuffy, his mouth was wide open and he was panting, and it took him half a day to recover. Gu Xuan recalled the conversation he had overheard, he was still indignant, angry, and a wave of anger was about to come out, but he thought about it again, Shen Zi'an was very interesting, if he could see him because of this, it would be a blessing in disguise. He even hoped that the queen of Chu would ask her father to let that little ghost be his companion. Even if this is not good for himself, it will put Shen Xiao's father and son in prison, so what.

The next day, news came from the palace, saying that the king had appointed Shen Zi'an, the youngest son of the Shen family, as one of Gu Xuan's companions, and rewarded the queen Chu Yu with a pair of jade shoes. Gu Xuan listened, pursed his lips, and then rolled happily on the bed, laughing like a nerd.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, I hope that little ghost has grown taller, I wonder if he will still show that stupid look? If you don't meet, just put on a nonchalant look and just say a few words of greeting.

Just say, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed?
