Chapter 14: The Niece Lieutenant
Chapter 13 Niece Lieutenant
Gu Lingge watched Qing Ruifan's straight back slowly leave his sight, and he also turned around and slowly walked towards the door next to him. It's still early, she's going to be here for a while anyway, and she doesn't like to be completely unsure about doing anything.
Stop and walk to the door of a hall, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters: Chenlai Palace. The palace should be all about majesty, this Chen Lai sounds like a small jasper, but I don't know who lives in it. Gu Lingge has always been bold, and he walked in with a swagger.
The vermilion columns and grass-green window lattices at the entrance directly catch the eye, I have never seen such a strange match, and it is strangely pleasing to the eye. There are three green trees on the left and right of the small courtyard opposite the main entrance, and a few white flower bones dodging on the branches are delicate, and the flower pots below are empty and undecorated, simple and pleasing to the eye. It's only early spring, and it should be some time before the flowers bloom.
Gu Lingge glanced around the main hall when he glanced at the very simple tables and chairs inside, simple but not shabby. The dust fluttered in the sunlight, and it looked like a mayfly was alive and dead. Bypassing the main hall, there are also some flowers and plants in the courtyard at the back, and it can be seen that the first people who lived here like plants very much. Before the flowers and plants withered, there were human traces.
Not only is the decoration of this hall very boudoir, but even the people who live in it are the same. As soon as Gu Lingge wanted to raise his feet and walk out of the garden, he heard a burst of laughter like a silver bell floating through the fresh air, it was the kind of girl who was naturally delicate and natural, Gu Lingge raised his eyebrows. In the palace, warblers and swallows are mixed, and people and snakes are mixed.
"Hey, which girl is this, so it's a noodle life, as if you've never seen it before?" The old man's voice came into his ears, Gu Lingge turned around, and saw a dark blue cotton pan mama leading a woman in an apricot yellow full-breasted skirt in, the woman looked very capable, the flying bun set off the extremely capable and sharp, and the authentic melon seed face had a pair of big eyes blazing, feeling like a fox. In fact, Gu Lingge doesn't like to communicate with people, regardless of men and women.
"Mama, don't be rude." The woman's voice was very soft, like a willow swept by the wind, clear and beautiful, inexplicably with a sense of mud and not stained. Gu Lingge raised his head, a pair of eyes looked directly at the visitor, and the naked vigilance made the woman frown invisibly, but she still maintained a smile on her face.
"What has happened to this girl, or is she lost? If you get lost, I can tell Mama to send you back to your place, but I don't know which temple the girl belongs to? The woman seemed to be enthusiastic, but her words were tactful, but she was spying on information. For such a person, Gu Lingge has no good impression. directly returned to the three words "Yongyuan Palace" and walked away, completely ignoring the two people who were left aside.
"Girl, the Queen Mother said that there are no female dependents living in Yongyuan Hall now, and even that fox Yang Li'er does not live there. This might be fooling you. You don't look at her like the new emperor, don't worry so much, girl...... "Mama still held the woman's hand, but her voice became more and more distorted, and finally it was as sharp as a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
The woman looked at Mama's face that was obviously painful and smiling, and laughed slowly, sweet and cold coexisted, and her voice was not as soft and humble as before, but low and dark: "Mama's words are very good, if I didn't stay in Yongyuan Palace, no one would want to have that opportunity." She slowly let go of Mama's supporting hand, kicked down a pot of flowers placed at the door, and walked into the main hall with a gentle lotus step. Mama silently rolled up her sleeves in the back, and her arms were already red. Shaking her head, Mama followed.
"Yunshuang, who lives in Chenlai Palace, and what is your background?" Gu Lingge did not return to the Yongyuan Palace, but turned away from the imperial medical supervisor on the side. There was a flower garden behind the Imperial Doctor's Office, in which some medicinal herbs were raised, and the large piles of plants in the corner of the wall just happened to be a barrier. Gu Lingge and Yunshuang sat on the beams of the room, looking at the pouring prosperity in their eyes, their faces expressionless. Gu Lingge's voice was faintly jerky, Yunshuang turned her head to look at her, and then slowly said her information:
"The current master there is called Wang Jingchen, who was brought in by the Queen Mother, who has been raised for almost a year, and was brought into the palace when the prince was established, and was originally raised in Ci'an Hall, and during this time the chaos in the palace let her go to Chenlai Palace. Chenlai Palace originally had no name, it was a resting place for the concubine to enter and leave the Yongyuan Palace, but since people lived in it, the Queen Mother personally gave the palace the name Chenlai, saying that she hoped that she could cultivate herself well and have a good husband in the future. ”
"What is the reason for the Queen Mother?" Whether it is to enter Ci'an Hall or go to Chenlai Palace, even if it is the Queen Mother without a valid reason, it will not be successful, and the emperor is not easy to fool.
Yunshuang blinked, as if she expected Gu Lingge to ask this, after a pause, her lips opened lightly: "I entered Ci'an Hall because of the Empress Dowager's niece and prayed for the Empress Dowager's boredom, and I went to Chenlai Palace because, because she was pregnant with the prince's child and needed a name." At that time, she was also incredulous when she found out about this, Qing Ruifan is not the kind of person who will mess with flowers everywhere, right, what does this sudden heir mean?
Gu Lingge's performance was much more insipid, and after listening quietly, he just smiled lightly, and then repeated what he had said to Chu Zhaonan before: "Yunshuang, I like to play games after going down to Changling." "The more the days go by, the more interesting it will be, it seems that she will not be lonely, there are so many people in the whole palace, if it is applied properly, she can get rid of that person without doing it herself, and complete the mission given by her father.
Yongyuan Palace
"You mean we need to garrison troops in the southwest?" Qing Ruifan stood in front of the sheepskin map, a little incredible. Although it is said that the DPRK and China are in rebellion, in fact, it has nothing to do with the southwest. The southwest of Han and Qin is a group of people who are good at fighting the enemy with Gu poison and climbing, where the terrain is mountainous, there are many foggy days, if their soldiers do not understand the situation, they will only have the funeral part, no one knows how many mountains there are in the southwest, and most of the people who know are dead on the road.
"Yes, the new emperor. According to the information of the border guards, a lot of people with special skills have gathered in the border area recently, and they wander around the city gate every day without saying a word. At night, you can always see the shadow of torches on the surrounding hills, and it seems that a trap is arranged. Yesterday, some soldiers were poisoned because they went up the mountain to check and are still unconscious. The minister suspected that they were looking at the fact that His Royal Highness had not yet ascended the throne, and thought that there was no master of the six gods in the city, so they thought about whether they could come to get a piece of the pie. Chang Dong finished speaking without breathing, pointing to the place in the Sword Gate, with a serious and nervous expression.
"Oh? What do you think, Captain? Qing Ruifan didn't ignore the person who looked at him intently after he came in, and when he suddenly asked, he saw a strange look in his eyes.
"Back to the new emperor, Weichen thinks that since those barbarians think that our dynasty has no owner, and our current strength cannot move their foundation, it is better for us to step up preparations for the enthronement of His Highness, if they are still restless after ascending the throne, we can find a reason to fight. I wonder what His Highness thinks? Chu Zhaonan admitted that he was a bit excessive, but this person would accompany Gu Lingge for a long time in the future, and he needed to take a good look before he could rest assured.
Qing Ruifan looked at this simplely dressed man, and suddenly felt that the captain of the scattered cavalry was too low, his eyebrows rolled, and he said slowly: "Reasonable." I've already sent someone from the Ministry of Rites to deal with the enthronement ceremony, so let's see what happens after that. Okay, that's it, I have something to ask the captain. Qing Ruifan beckoned the blue clothes to take down the map, and the palace maid set up the refreshments and put them in the side hall and waited for the three of them to come over.
Qing Ruifan sat down, looked at Chu Zhaonan but asked Chang Dong: "Chang Dong, where did you dig the captain?" "This man can find the reason and come up with a solution, and he is too similar to someone to have to doubt. It's just that Chang Dong looked surprised and said: "He is a child of the prime minister's family, we once met in the prime minister's mansion, and then we met by chance when we went to the battlefield." Don't you remember, Your Highness? ”
Qing Ruifan reminisced while listening to Chang Dong's speech, and finally remembered after a while: "Oh, I know." At that time, we had a quarrel with Miss Xiangfu and almost got into a fight, but you broke the siege, didn't you? "When I was a teenager, I was always naughty, and I would quarrel with a girl just because of a keju. Chu Zhaonan nodded, remembering what he looked like back then and laughing.
Qing Ruifan looked at Chu Zhaonan's bearing, gentle and elegant, not like that kind of rugged man, and suddenly didn't understand why he chose to go to the battlefield instead of entering the court, Ming Mingzai is more sure than the affairs of the court, isn't it: "Why do you want to join the army?" ”
Chu Zhaonan was stunned for a moment, then came according to the arrangement, took a sip of tea, and slowly hung a bitter arc on the corner of his mouth: "The family said that I am inferior to a concubine after all, and I am not suitable to enter the court as an official." The prime minister said that I would come back after more experience. However, even when I was outside, I would still encounter pursuits, and when General Chang Sheng found me, it happened to be when I was being hunted and killed, and I became familiar with it as soon as I came and went. ”
The concubine in the prime minister's mansion is now working in the imperial divination prison, although it is not a too high position, but in the end, it is still the prime minister's child and no one will look down on him, and Chu Zhaonan is different, his background makes him have to choose a battlefield that is more difficult than the court, a cruel place where every minute and every second can kill people, and it is also a loss that he survived, otherwise it would be even more difficult to go. The distinction between the young and the old has always been a sad hurdle.
"I don't know that Chu Xu also has such a thought, it seems that this palace is going to be well organized." There is Yang Li'er in the front, and there is Chu Xu in the back, and this day has to be reorganized once to live in peace.
"Alright, you guys go down first, I know about this. The blue coat went to the house with the captain. When the crowd receded, Qing Ruifan rubbed his eyebrows and said softly: "Juan." The black shadow fell, and he saluted respectfully: "My emperor." “
