Chapter 183: What is the if?
Mu Yi looked at Chu Zhaonan's calm appearance as always, and said loudly: "The master asked you to take these three people under An Yan with you, although it is not far away, but you still have to pay attention to safety." Moreover, it is much easier to do things with them. "Who could it be from An Yan's side? Both of them understood very well, and Chu Zhaonan also accepted it with tacit understanding.
The two rode in opposite directions. Chu Zhaonan looked at Shiye's expression, thinking about something in his heart, and walked slowly to the south.
This time it was more than half a month.
"Imperial sister-in-law, why didn't you say Zhao Nan came back?" Qing Jingyao wore a thick light green palace dress, with a circle of white fox fur around her slender white neck that looked like a warm one, and her face was not powdered, and the whole person looked a little pale, and she had no energy. She leaned lazily on the other side of the chaise longue, looking at Gu Lingge, who was reviewing the accounts, and her voice dragged on for a long time.
Because Chu Zhaonan is gone, she hasn't dressed up properly recently, and she wanders from Qing Ruifan's Yongyuan Hall to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Hall every day with nothing to do, and then goes to Gu Lingge in the evening. This palace is so big, no one cares where she is going, and she jumps around as she wants.
"I'll be back when it's time to come back, don't worry." Gu Lingge's side hasn't heard from Chu Zhaonan for almost five days. Chu Zhaonan said no different to Gu Lingge and Qing Jingyao, it was once every two days to pass the book to Gu Lingge, and it was the same to pass the book to Qing Jingyao, except that the content of the letter was different, even the crows who passed the letter were the same batch.
Qing Jingyao was a little better than Gu Lingge in that she was able to receive two pieces of information, one was sent back by Chu Zhaonan and the other was sent back by Shiye. Although Shiye will not send news to Qing Jingyao, he will tell Shihua, and Shihua will sometimes relay it to Qing Jingyao, so that she can feel more at ease.
"Imperial sister-in-law, you have known Zhaonan for so long, what kind of person do you think he is?" Although it is said that Chu Zhaonan's last favorite is most likely the imperial sister-in-law who is sitting in front of him, if this is left before they get married, Qing Jingyao will definitely not be able to sit down and talk to Gu Lingge.
But after so long, Qing Jingyao still has a better opinion of Gu Lingge. Chu Zhaonan usually doesn't say a lot of things about Gu Lingge, but she can understand between the lines that Chu Zhaonan's love for Gu Lingge is more of a brother's pity and love for his sister, and there is still a difference between true love.
Coupled with the serious illness of Gu Lingge, who has been talking about some time ago, she is really full of sympathy for this "sick and disaster-ridden" imperial sister-in-law. She also knew what her mother was guessing, and she also knew what this so-called harem was like now, but fortunately, after getting along for so long, Gu Lingge really didn't react to this.
Whether it was the Queen Mother's rhetoric or the gossip of everyone in the harem, Gu Lingge never seemed to care.
"He......" Gu Lingge put down the account book, gently rubbed his temples, and the memories of Chu Zhaonan in his mind churned up little by little, as if he had returned to a long, long time ago. Qing Jingyao didn't bother, and quietly looked at the verdant tea leaves in the cup.
"He's a very capable and thoughtful person, able to accomplish all sorts of tasks and think of things that no one else can think of." Gu Lingge remembered before. It was her first time going to the South, and she didn't prepare for anything, and she didn't know what to expect. Chu Zhaonan gave her a burden before she left, and it turned out that everything in it was useful. From killing people invisibly, to driving away insects and ants, basically calculated all the troubles that would be encountered, and dealt with them thoroughly.
"Listening to the imperial sister-in-law say this, Zhaonan was very embarrassed before." Qing Jingyao took a diamond-shaped osmanthus cake from the table and muttered while nibbling on it. The originally clear voice was blurred because of something in his mouth, but Gu Lingge could hear it clearly. Amazing, huh? It seems that it can be said that it is not much worse to describe it as a housekeeper.
"Sister-in-law, I heard yesterday that the Ninth Princess had a fetus, and it seems to be a little bad." Although Qing Jingyao said that she was running to the palace tomorrow, she still knew who had something happening to her family. As for Faye Wong's matter, Qing Ruiting personally said that she wanted to keep it secret, but she still knew. No matter what time it is, intelligence can make a difference.
"I don't know very well about the Nine Princesses, didn't you say it very well last time?" Gu Lingge didn't understand the specific details very well, so he planned to ask Qing Jingyao. She doesn't care much about many things now, while enjoying the quiet she has won so hard, she is paying close attention to the Queen Mother and Liulizhuang. She doesn't have so much to think about taking care of anyone, Gu Liangyue's side, she just wants to interfere, and Qing Ruiting is not happy.
"It's pretty good, but Brother Nine Kings is too precious to the Nine Princesses, so it will be the same as when you follow it. The night before I heard that the Nine Princes Mansion invited the imperial doctor, I thought it was nothing, but yesterday when Shihua went to fetch me tonic medicine, I heard them say that the Nine Princesses' pulse was unstable, and their blood was abundant, and it seemed that they had overdone it. Because this Nine Princesses have been uncomfortable all day. Qing Jingyao really couldn't help but laugh when she said it. The Qing family doesn't know how, they are old and amorous, thinking that a third prince is already terrible, and these nine princes are also more than that.
"Our family is also old and lovely." Qing Jingyao tilted her head to watch Gu Lingge write and draw, and then stretched out her finger to count her, "The previous three emperor brothers used to talk to their father and mother in the palace, and the emperor also tried his best to marry you as his wife. Gu Lingge wrote the phoenix order while listening to Qing Jingyao nagging her.
She didn't seem to feel this way for a long time, and the torture of someone talking to her next to her was literally torture in her ears. Gu Lingge didn't like it very much before, but now she feels that it's nothing. Sometimes people still need something to prove that they still exist.
"You seem to have forgotten to count yourself." Gu Lingge stopped the pen in his hand, took the soup woman in Lixia's hand, turned his head and smiled softly at Qing Jingyao, "I don't know who runs to this side of the palace every day, just to see Chu Zhaonan?" At that time, you were also a seed of infatuation. While saying this, Gu Lingge suddenly felt as if he had never experienced such a life.
Because I like someone very much, I want to know all about him, and I try all kinds of means to be able to see him, and in order to be able to tie the knot with him, I let go of some things that I think are very important, such as face, such as money, such as seeing things from different angles, such as many, many more.
Feng Yiluo once asked her if she would hate the path she was taking now, and if she had a choice, what kind of life would she choose. Gu Lingge clearly remembered that it was a very moonlit night, smooth as practice, and entangled in his heart.
She remembers saying to herself at the time that there are no ifs for everything. "Maybe there will be an answer when I am buried in the ground, but this life is not over yet, and it is not yet time to be able to mention this kind of if."
She doesn't regret her life so far, maybe not like many people who can live peacefully and the mountains and rivers are quiet, but after all, it is her own path - the path that was born to be set. If you want to regret it, you have to be sad, you have to be sad, you have to curse, wait until later, when she really can't hold on, when she has been put on the execution ground, she will be executed the next moment, let's talk about it later.
All things have a death, and this is the way to the end.
"You're all young, just move on. More on that later. Qing Jingyao could recall Gu Lingge's expression when she said this for a long time. She had never thought that Gu Lingge would have such a sad or even desperate expression. There is light in her eyes, and even if she is uncomfortable, she has hope for the future.
The expectation and despair of "come on, I am rotten" coexisted together, setting off her desolate eyebrows, and for a moment it seemed to penetrate the world.
"What are you talking about?" Qing Ruifan had just gotten off the court, standing in front of them and shaking off a snowflake, looking at these two people, Qing Ruifan's eyes were clear. The biggest difference between Qing Jingyao and her marriage is that she always likes to run to Gu Lingge, and the two sisters-in-law stay for an afternoon. Many times, Qing Ruifan can see Qing Jingyao when he comes over.
"The old seven families have invited the imperial doctor again." Gu Lingge said lightly to relieve Qing Jingyao, Qing Jingyao also understood, and slipped away without saying a word, saying that she was going to accompany the Queen Mother for lunch.
"This girl is slipping away quite fast, like grease on the soles of her feet." Qing Ruifan looked at Gu Lingge with a smile. He walked up slowly, watching Gu Lingge put away the phoenix order and gently hugged her waist, Gu Lingge was shivering from the cold air on his body, and subconsciously wanted to break away from his arms, but Qing Ruifan didn't let her succeed, but tightened his hand to make her closer.
"She has a detached temperament, and she is lonely in the house alone." Gu Lingge looked at the closed door and said softly. He had already seen it when he went to see Qing Jingyao for the first time, this person has a good temper, but he is indeed a lonely, and it is good to get used to it slowly.
"She is lonely in the palace alone, and you are also lonely in the palace alone." Qing Ruifan hugged Gu Lingge, swaying from side to side like a child, his voice hit his ears gently, making Gu Lingge feel that this person was becoming more and more shameless.
"What I didn't say, then I didn't." Gu Lingge also knew why Qing Ruifan came so early today. When he was in the court today, someone impeached Ouyang, saying that he and Gu Lingge bought and sold officials, and the evidence was that he had seen Ouyang come out of Gu Lingge's palace more than once.
Qing Ruifan didn't mind this matter, the power he gave Gu Lingge was too great, this person who bought and sold officials, Gu Lingge probably didn't look down on it. Moreover, even if it is true, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, whose official position was bought, everyone has their own number. This page is just like this, and how to punish Ming'er will talk about it.
"Ah Ling thinks too much, I'm not the one I said." Qing Ruifan sat down on the chair gently, then hugged the person to his lap and sat down, and asked her with crooked eyebrows: "I'm thinking, can we also have a little prince?" ”
