Chapter 85: North City Lin'an
Chapter 84 North City Lin'an
Everyone in Lin'an City knows that His Majesty the Emperor has not been in a good mood recently. It's not because of the state affairs, but because of the emperor, who has been spreading throughout this time.
Earlier, Emperor Ji had already said that she liked Chu Zhaonan, and Chu Zhaonan was marching outside, and she did maintain her popularity and no longer stepped out of Emperor Ji's mansion for half a step.
Hearing that Di Ji's body has recovered fairly well since the last arrow wound, Qing Ruifan took pity on her and allowed her to enter the palace to walk around. It doesn't matter if you take a stroll, the important thing is that Qing Jingyao saw another puppet by the south gate of the Imperial Garden. Because it was evening, there seemed to be a white dress floating in front of her, which scared her a lot. Then I still felt very frightened, and when I went back, I didn't know how to get sick, saying that it was caused by fear. Qing Ruifan has not only been running to Ci'an Hall but also going to the emperor's place in the past two days, and he is also really busy.
But it was in this situation that something happened to the prime minister. Yang Fan didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping, and he actually openly impeached Taifu in court. Taifu has never seen any winds and waves in his life, and not only scolded Yang Fan in court for not being a human being inside and out, but also scolded the prime minister with insinuations.
Above the court, it is no secret that Yang Fan and the prime minister are a system. Because Qing Ruifan has not expressed his position for a long time, there is now only the stalemate between the prime minister and the Taifu in the court. The elders of the Taifu and the two dynasties really didn't have a clear intention to be as knowledgeable as the prime minister, and the prime minister also knew to calm down, so only a few petty officials under their respective hands were making trouble, and the people behind the two didn't say anything.
Qing Ruiting's mansion.
"Imperial sister-in-law." When Qing Jingyao came over with Shihua, Gu Liangyue was building potted plants in the garden. Gu Liangyue has a good ability to trim branches and leaves, and every time Qing Ruiting sees it, she will feel her eyes light up. In the past few days, Qing Ruiting has stayed in the palace with Qing Ruiyang because of the affairs of the court, Gu Liangyue is well-behaved, and An An manages his own property well, and when he is free, he raises fish, cuts and cuts flowers, and it is still peaceful.
"The emperor is here, let's sit down first." Gu Liangyue turned around when she heard the voice, her round face and round eyes, her eyes were smart when she smiled, and she had a different look and spirit. It's half of the afternoon, Xue Yue hasn't come yet, the sun is hanging lazily, the white fluffy neck cover and the warm golden sunlight make Gu Liangyue look even more beautiful.
"When your body is so neat, you run around." Gu Liangyue's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her voice was full of care and warmth. In ordinary times, Gu Liangyue is a very warm person, but most of the things in Liulizhuang are heavy, and it is not suitable for her to relax.
"Yes, it's not a problem to stay in the palace all the time, just say it and chat with the imperial sister-in-law." Qing Jingyao also laughed shallowly. Chu Zhaonan is not there, and he is still childish from time to time, and even his smile is not energetic. Not at all like a young woman in the prime of her life.
"Yaoyao is still thinking about that?" Gu Liangyue remembered that Qing Jingyao went to Chu Zhaonan so vigorously before, but in the end, she was calculated by Chu Zhaonan herself, and she felt uncomfortable when she thought about it.
Chu Zhaonan's approach was certainly wrong, but Gu Liangyue could also understand it. According to Chu Zhaonan's previous practice, it was already a good thing that Qing Jingyao was not seriously disabled directly. When she was still in Liulizhuang, she didn't forget those unlucky ones at all. It's not good to provoke anyone, but if you provoke Gu Lingge, it's just a matter of provoking it, but let Chu Zhaonan know, isn't this deliberately looking for death?
"Imperial sister-in-law." Qing Jingyao hooked the corners of her mouth, a little sad. The wind of early winter is blowing, and it has slowly taken on a strong level, and there is already pain on the face. Qing Jingyao's eyes slowly turned red, and she didn't know if it was because of the dry winter wind or if something bad was sounding.
"I used to think about taking my clean self and making him like it. I gave up all the princess face and glory for this, but I was still wrong. Qing Jingyao seems to be a child who has grown up overnight, and she has a feeling of old-fashioned when she speaks, but it is not abrupt, and that kind of growth makes people feel distressed.
"Imperial sister-in-law, am I really wrong?" Qing Jingyao suddenly had strong doubts and melancholy about herself at this moment. She had obviously done her best, "If my previous thoughts were wrong, what should I do, sister-in-law?" I don't want to let go at all. At this time, Qing Jingyao's face was already full of tears, but Gu Liangyue still had the same doubts in her heart.
"Yaoyao, tell me, there are not no rising stars in the court, all of them are like carp across the river, how did you fall in love with Chu Zhaonan? As far as the imperial sister-in-law knows, he hasn't done anything brilliant enough to catch your eye. Gu Liangyue felt that there must be a reason why Qing Jingyao was so attentive, he couldn't make any opinions until he couldn't figure out anything.
"Imperial sister-in-law. When Chang Dong said that Chu Zhaonan was hunted down and calculated all the way, I was in the palace, and I listened unconsciously for a while, and then saw Chu Zhaonan in the vermilion house, he stood tall and handsome on the black floor, and when he heard Chang Dong's introduction, he raised his head slightly, full of tolerant bearing, and I could see it by being humble and obedient to his back. Qing Jingyao tilted her head slightly, and little by little she remembered other things from her memory.
"I can imagine how a little boy survived from a traitorous portal like the prime minister, and finally became a man with grace and warmth like now." Qing Jingyao's voice is very soft, it looks like a narrative, but she is full of emotion.
"But you have to understand that compassion is not love." Gu Liangyue was a little helpless. The real Chu Zhaonan was never like that, the Chu Zhaonan she saw was copied, and she just took the fate of the previous person and applied it to herself. Although it was very difficult for Chu Zhaonan to train before, what the two of them learned was that they were not the same personality at all.
"I know the Imperial Sister-in-law. I'm not for this. Qing Jingyao was still a little anxious, and she couldn't wait to explain, "Imperial sister-in-law." Chu Zhaonan is an ordinary scholar, but after so long, I have also watched him come step by step. He did not rely on my strength, nor did he rely on any partisan gatekeeper, and this independence and responsibility are the reasons that attracted me. ”
Every word of Qing Jingyao reconstructed Chu Zhaonan's image in Gu Liangyue's heart little by little. It was the first time she felt that Chu Zhaonan had some advantages. She had always felt that Chu Zhaonan only had a fierce and possessive image, but for the first time, she felt that perhaps, Qing Jingyao was the one who understood him best. Even if they stand on different positions, in Chu Zhaonan's different stages of life, it seems that Chu Zhaonan's appearance has never been correctly recognized, and the person in front of him seems to be really getting closer little by little.
"Since he said that he has a sweetheart, it is not false, if Yaoyao really insists, she will be sad." Gu Liangyue couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she could only tell her what she was about to face. "According to the prince, it is true that Chu Zhaonan is a rookie, but you also understand that he is a strong-willed person, you really have to be prepared to wait, so you have to take it into account no matter what the situation."
"Yaoyao only has one thing she wants to ask the imperial sister-in-law." Qing Jingyao took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind after understanding something, her cheeks were red and bulging as if she had just dyed an apple, "Imperial sister-in-law, you say, is Chu Zhaonan a person worth liking?" ”
Gu Liangyue nodded without hesitation. Chu Zhaonan has lived until now, even if he is covered with blood, he still has a sincere heart, even if he is killed, he can maintain a firm and pure heart.
Qing Jingyao closed her eyes, gently took Luo Pa and pressed the corner of her eyes, and saw the pale green and gray rockery from the corridor, and smiled and shed tears, but her voice was steady and firm: "Then there is no need for me to let go." ”
Gu Liangyue stood up, walked slowly to Qing Jingyao, and then gently put down the flower scissors on the side, stretched out her hands, and gently hugged the girl in front of her who was not yet fully grown.
She has a persistence, the most sincere gift she can think of for a woman to sacrifice to love, she respects, and knows the consummation.
North Side.
When Chang Dong first entered the northern city, some people suggested that he planned to divide into several teams and enter the city piecemeal, and the goal was not large to reduce the enemy's suspicion. Chang Dong disagreed at first, was it wrong for Han Qin to send troops to his own territory? It's their own business.
But on second thought, this may not be impossible to do to another extent. Because they are divided into different teams, the enemy army even sees it and does not know how many people they are coming. So he still divided into groups, and let the soldiers enter the city at certain intervals, and he himself walked at the end, one was to deal with the aftermath, and the other was to see the situation in your city. I heard that there is a very powerful general over there, but I don't know who it is, and there is very little news.
After entering the city, Chang Dong went directly to the garrison under the city gate, and bit his ears with Chu Zhaonan, everyone just knew that they were discussing in the study, but they just didn't know what they were talking about.
"What did you say?!" Chu Zhaonan's eyes widened, he didn't believe the news brought by Chang Dong at all, and felt that his whole person was wrong. Gu Lingge came to Beicheng? How could Gu Lingge come to Beicheng? Why didn't you even say a word to him?
"The emperor said that the queen is very likely to come here, but it didn't alarm anyone, you usually pay more attention to see if there is anyone on the street who is more like." Chang Dong really didn't know how to react when he talked about this. Although Gu Lingge is a true temperament of the children of the rivers and lakes, none of the children of the rivers and lakes know that the frontier is in turmoil and still rush to the frontier.
"Zhaonan...... Zhaonan..."Chang Dong shouted several times, and then Chu Zhaonan slowly came back to his senses, his voice was low, and his face was dark, "Well, I know." Immediately arrange for someone to go down and check. Looking up at Fang Yuan, the latter nodded and immediately went out, there were really only these two people left in the room.
"What the emperor said this time is that you must not lose Beicheng again. The foundation and majesty of Han and Qin for so many years can't be defeated in such a simple ......" Chang Dong was still grunting, but Chu Zhaonan's focus was not here at all, and he just had a dry question in his mind: Why did Gu Lingge come to this northern border? It's still the kind that doesn't say a word.
