The pavilion in the annex is built by the water, and it is particularly cool and comfortable to sit in. Qing Xue didn't really want to answer Wei Xuan's questions, but when she first came to Pilan, she always needed someone who understood to ask about the situation. At the moment, this county lord is the most suitable person to speak without beating around the bush.

"Does the county lord really like the emperor so much?" Qing Xue pulled her to sit beside her and asked.

"I naturally like it, I like it when I am a child, but the emperor's cousin always doesn't want to marry me, saying that I am willful and rude, not like a daughter's family!" Wei Xuan's face was full of coquettishness and complaint when she said this.

Qing Xue deliberately persuaded her to change her mind, after all, some tragedies can be less or less, although there are countless in this era, but they can prevent one from counting one, so she said: "Sister really likes the temperament of the county lord, innocent, frank and cute!" It's just that there are so many women in the emperor's harem, is the county lord really willing to drown in the thousands of flowers, and he doesn't see the king every day? ”

Wei Xuan heard Qingxue praise her, and took her hand very happily and asked, "Does my sister really think I'm cute?" But why doesn't the emperor like me? ”

"The county lord is talented and good-looking, how can the emperor not like it? It's just that the brother's liking for his sister is different from the love between men and women. It is not difficult to be worthy of a wishful husband and wife with the talent of the county lord, and there are many good men in the world, naturally there are people who love the county lord, according to my sister, the emperor treats the county lord more of a brother and sister, the county lord should look farther, there are many good men in the world, not only the emperor. ”

"That'...... I don't care! Even though he only has brother and sister affection for me, but I have a male and female affection for him, Xuan'er will not marry him in this life! ”

"Everyone has said such things when they are in love, but the backyard is deep, the years are long, is the princess really willing to stay with someone who does not love her for the rest of her life? If he doesn't love you, you won't be able to taste love, and the county lord is young, wouldn't it be a pity to waste his good years in the palace? The affairs of men and women pay attention to the mutual pleasure of each other, and they will not be happy without the sincerity of either party. ”

Wei Xuan sounded reasonable, but he rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "Sister said this, aren't you afraid that Xuan'er will share her favor with you when she enters the palace?" ”

"Huh?" Qing Xue's face was full of black lines, so she could only shake her head and pull her to comfort: "My sister will not enter the palace, how can I be afraid that you will share the favor with me?" There are so many beauties in the emperor's harem, and my sister just persuaded you that those words are all heart-wrenching words, women in the world want to be a couple for a lifetime, and the county lord should be like this. ”

"My sister doesn't want to enter the palace? But my father said that in order to marry his sister, the emperor took off his dragon robe and took off his crown to threaten the queen mother. ”

"What?"

Qing Xue now finally knew why Gu Sichen had been around all the way, and when she entered the capital, she didn't directly bring them into the palace, but settled in another courtyard.

As Chiyun's concubine, she came to Pilan with two children, how could such an identity not cause turmoil if she wanted to enter the palace.

When she entered the capital before, she saw that everything was fine, Qing Xue thought that Gu Sichen had arranged it, but now it seems that she is comfortable in this courtyard, but Gu Sichen is under a lot of pressure in the palace.

Thinking of this, Qing Xue could only ask tentatively: "Then how is the situation in the palace now?" ”

"What else, it's just a stalemate, in the past, the emperor listened to the queen mother in everything, but this time he refused to let go, but...... Sister really doesn't want to enter the palace? ”

"Naturally, take it seriously, the county lord went into the palace for me to tell the emperor that I have something to talk to him, if the emperor can come out, it would be best, but if he can't come out, you will tell him for my sister that there is no need to worry about my entry into the palace, I only want to live a stable life with my child, not enter the palace."

"Hmm!" Wei Xuan's head nodded as if she was pounding garlic, as if Qingxue would accept her as a concubine if she didn't enter the palace, and she didn't say anything more, Lianzu flew away from the pavilion lightly, and her light skills looked better than Gu Sichen.

------

Qing Xue didn't expect Gu Sichen to come so quickly, and almost estimated that she had just come down to the court when she saw him come in.

"Xue'er, why don't you want to enter the palace with me?" Gu Sichen didn't care about the girls and servants in the room, and walked straight to Qing Xue to question.

Qing Xue could only send everyone out first. Only Mu Chun was still hiding on the beam, and since he came here to intimidate others, he and the black halberd rarely showed up.

"You sit down first" Qing Xue poured a cup of tea for Gu Sichen, and her words had already been brewed, but when she really wanted to say it, she felt a little unspeakable.

"Did you listen to some rumors outside, or did Xuan'er say something to you?" Gu Sichen drank all the tea in front of him, his eyebrows full of frustration and sorrow.

Qingxue shook her head and said: "I want to tell you on the way, I am very grateful to you for bringing me back to Pilan from Chiyun, and I am even more grateful for your care of me and my children along the way, but now I just want to take my two children to live in peace, and I really don't want to set foot in the harem again." ”

"Qin'er ......"

Although he was mentally prepared when he came, he still couldn't accept it when he heard Qing Xue say that he didn't want to enter the palace, so he only asked, "Are you because of those concubines in my harem?" Don't worry, if you mind me, I'll give them all away, and I want you to be my queen, the only one I cherish. I will do it tenfold and hundredfold for you on the day of his decision, and I can also be named Beizi for the two children, no, as the prince! I just want you to enter the palace. ”

Gu Sichen held Qing Xue's hand and said sincerely, and Qing Xue was also moved, but she could only shake her head and pull her hand out of his palm and said: "You know, I still have him in my heart, even if he changes his mind and leaves our mother and son, my love for him in my heart has never diminished by half a point!" ”

"What about me? Have you ever had even the slightest affection for me? Gu Sichen frowned, sat there dejectedly, saw that Qingxue didn't answer, and nodded to himself: "I know!"

This courtyard was prepared by someone when I set out for Chiyun, and at that time I thought that if you still didn't want to enter the palace with me, it would be better to place you closer to the palace, at least if I wanted to see you, I didn't have to travel thousands of miles. Now you can live here, and if you lack anything, let the butler tell me, and I will do my best to arrange it for you. ”

"Thank you! I'm sorry! Qing Xue didn't know what else to say at the moment except for these two sentences!

"It doesn't matter! That...... I'm back to the palace first! Gu Sichen forced a smile, laughing more ugly than crying, hiding the moisture in his eyes without a trace, and turned away decisively.

"Si Chen" Qingxue stopped him: "Although I can't be your concubine, I will be your confidant and friend at all times." ”

"Hmm!" Gu Sichen turned his back to her and nodded.

Qing Xue watched him go away, sat back in her chair and asked without raising her head: "King Yan, do you think I'm cruel?" ”

Mu Chun jumped down from the beam, too many complicated emotions were contained in his eyes, he was moved by the little wife in front of him for his hard love, and he also felt sorry for her that she couldn't let go of herself so much, and he even felt a deep apology to Gu Sichen.

I have to admit that he just wanted Gu Sichen to protect his wife and children for her at the beginning, in his eyes this is temporary, he never planned to let Qingxue out in the deepest part of his heart, and even thought that if Qingxue became Gu Sichen's concubine, he would be desperate to take her back.

But along the way, seeing Gu Sichen treating Qingxue and the two children with such care, even Mu Chun decided to feel moved.

After a moment of stunnedness, Qing Xue spoke again: "I promised to be his concubine, but now I am pushing him away like crossing a river and demolishing a bridge, how can I repay his affection?" ”

"......" Mu Chun was silent, but he said in his heart: In the future, I will accompany you to return it, even if you want the country, I will give it to him.

------

Since that day, Gu Sichen has never come to the other courtyard, but Wei Xuan often comes to her, and she knows from her that the turmoil in the palace has gradually subsided, but Gu Sichen has been locking himself in the palace and has not been to the court for several days.

However, Pilan's court has never been his final say, it is common for him not to go to court, anyway, everything is controlled by the queen mother, and the government can't be chaotic.

It's just that I heard that the harem is very lively, and the concubines finally looked forward to him staying in the palace for a few days, and changed all kinds of tricks to ask for a meeting.

Gu Sichen changed his usual personality of playing tricks on people, and did not refuse the concubines who went to see him, making the whole harem look like a kiln.

In the end, the queen mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she issued a ban, except for the queen, the rest of the concubines were not allowed to ask to see the emperor without summoning, and the harem settled down.

However, this will is cheaper Queen Wei Zhirou, just listen to this name and know that it must be the niece of the Queen Mother or something, Qingxue only wishes that she is not an in-law within three generations, otherwise even if Gu Sichen's male illness is cured, the heirs of their old Gu family are afraid that they will also become crooked melons and cracked dates.

According to Wei Xuan, this Wei Zhirou is the most valued woman of the Queen Mother, and she is also very dedicated to managing the harem, smart and generous, and considerate. Although Qing Xue didn't know how capable Wei Zhirou was, she must not be an idle person just because she could make the majestic and obedient Queen Mother happy. At least Wei Xuan, who is also from his own family, can't even enter the harem.

But at the moment, Qing Xue doesn't have the heart to think about these idle things anymore, the courtyard where she lives now is royal, she already owes Gu Sichen a lot of affection, how can she stay here for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, before leaving, General Zhou sent a whole box of gold, silver, beads, and emeralds, which was more than enough to buy a new courtyard. She didn't feel awkward to use these silver coins, feelings aside, Chiyun can have today, the military depends on the wolf army, and the vast majority of economic strength comes from the new objects she developed. Besides, from the lawyer's point of view, this can also be regarded as the alimony that Mu Chun decided to give to the child.

However, Qing Xue didn't want Gu Sichen to know that she wanted to move out of the courtyard for the time being, so she didn't bother the housekeeper to help find it, and only told Ah Qi and Lizi to go out and ask, if there was a good one, she would write it down and choose it herself.
