172 Meeting on a Narrow Road (2nd Watch)

"Then ......" The queen mother looked at the queen, and the two exchanged a particularly tacit look, before waving their hands, and waited until all the subordinates left, and then asked in a low voice, "What does the little girl think...... How is the little son of the Xie family? ”

Shi Huan didn't think much about it, just thought it was a simple chat, and said with a light smile, "It's good." Xie Xiaogongzi has a lively personality and has no shelves, but the maids around me play well with him. Thinking of the appearance of a few people having a snowball fight together, I couldn't help but soften my eyebrows...... Most of the sons of the family have identities, and they let a maid throw snowballs around their necks like this, and I am afraid that there is only one Xie Jiang.

The speaker has no heart, but the listener has a heart.

The Queen Mother and the Queen quietly exchanged another look, and the Queen gave Shi Huan a piece of snacks and said with a smile, "Yes." The aunt of the little son of the Xie family is also very good to look at, not to mention, the Xie family is a century-old family with real meritorious achievements, and the lintel is also quite ...... Mrs. Xie handed over a post before. Originally, these ladies did not go to the meeting among themselves, although it was customary not to go, but this time they can go and see it......"

She paused, looked at the girl who was eating quietly with smooth eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Huanhuan goes with my aunt?" ”

At this moment, Shi Huan already understood that these two were going to mess up the mandarin duck score, and she was about to refuse, so she heard the Queen Mother say right away, "I just came back, it's time to go for a walk." Such a good-looking girl can't always hide at home...... That's it, your aunt will take you, show her face, and shut up those idiots who chew their tongues behind their backs every day and say that the right minister and the queen are not compatible. ”

Having said that, she couldn't refuse. I nodded my head and answered.

I understood in my heart that the entire Shi family had made up their minds not to let themselves wade into the troubled waters of the royal family again...... That's fine.

……

When I left the palace, it was already the time of the year.

Mama led the way with a lamp, and the whole palace lost its golden splendor in the daytime, and looked like a huge cage. Shi Huan gathered his clothes and looked at the white marble on the ground, and the shadow of the grandmother was stretched obliquely.

At the end of the road, a light came.

is a little eunuch, followed by Gu Yanyao, who received the holy decree today and entered the palace to thank him, and accompanied the emperor to play chess and prepare to leave the palace with dinner.

Shi Huan stepped forward and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince." ”

"Miss Shi." Gu Yanyao looked at her, waved his hand to make the little eunuch take a few steps back, and then smiled unexpectedly, "Your Majesty issued an order today to make me a virtuous king." Presumably the eldest lady hasn't heard of it yet. ”

"Yes." Shi Huan blessed his body again, "The courtiers are lonely and unheard, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Xian." ”

Gu Yanyao was silent for a long time, the wind at night was very cool, hovering back and forth between the narrow palace walls, and the woman's eyebrows and eyes were amazingly indifferent under the palace lamp. Gu Yanda's eyes flashed with a different color, "As soon as the king arrives, there are also the two brothers of this king, can the eldest lady know Gu Yansheng's title?" ”

"I don't know. Please also inform Your Highness. The voice was cold, Shi Huan looked at him, his eyes were as black as splashing ink, with a coolness in his bones, like a cold pool that could not be seen at a glance.

"He's ...... Ruiwang. ”

Without waiting for Shi Huan to speak, Gu Yanyao smiled, took a step forward, and leaned in front of Shi Huan, "Do you know the difference?" King Xian...... King Xian...... Why am I a virtuous? Does my father want to tell me, let me insist on virtue and don't fight or rob? Why?! ”

The voice was a little loud, and the brows were furrowed.

Shi Huan didn't retreat, only leaned back slightly, widened some distance, and his expression didn't change, "What does Your Majesty mean, the courtiers naturally don't know, and they don't dare to speculate." It's just that...... The courtiers knew that their cousin would not mind whether his title was Rui or Xian, and it would not hinder his glory and wealth. ”

"Presumably...... My cousin didn't even enter the palace to thank him after receiving the holy decree, right? ”

Oh, yes. Gu Yansheng didn't even need to enter the palace to thank him, and his father just reprimanded him, and that's it.

has always been like this, he is cautious and walking on thin ice, painstakingly and meticulously planned, and he Gu Yansheng is because he has a mother who is a queen, no matter how ridiculous and unruly he is. Even though everyone in the court knew that the emperor didn't like this concubine, there were still a group of old ministers who stood in Gu Yansheng's camp because of the relationship between the Shi family.

Gu Yanyao suddenly lowered his head, leaned over, and attached his ear, "Shi Huan, put aside the position between the left and right phases, and marry me, okay?" ”

Putting aside the position between the left and the right? Shi Huan probably understood why her aunt and father firmly believed that the "tradition" of the Shi family's daughter entering the palace would be broken in her own generation. The checks and balances that the emperor had worked so hard to establish would naturally not be easily destroyed by a marriage.

If you choose Gu Yansheng, it will be difficult to control the power of the Shi family, and if you choose Gu Yanyao, you will join forces left and right, and the checks and balances will be destroyed. But Gu Yanqing ...... It was not in the emperor's mind all along. Therefore, the divine decree seems to have given oneself a monstrous grace, but in fact...... It's just that the emperor wants to break the tradition of the Shi family's daughter as the queen through the mouth of the Shi family.

It was like in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, and suddenly a ray of light fell from the sky.

Shi Huan faced Gu Yanyao, who had been bullied again, and finally retreated from the step he had always wanted to retreat. After taking a step back, she actually smiled coldly, and asked instead of answering, "Your Royal Highness King Xian, do you know why my cousin is so chic and wanton, and he has never really been rejected by His Majesty?" Because...... You're here. ”

"Because you're there, he's there. It's ...... He doesn't need to do better, he just needs to stand under your shadow and enjoy his glory and riches. ”

The girl smiled coquettishly, her voice was very low, she couldn't hear clearly in the night, only those inky eyes, she saw the color of staring, and she turned sideways to avoid Gu Yanyao and walked towards the palace gate. After a few steps, I could faintly hear her softly explaining to the grandmother beside her, "Grandma must not tell the Queen Mother what happened here when she goes back, lest she worry." But if she had learned from him, she wouldn't have to hide it so that she wouldn't be punished. ”

The grandmother replied respectfully, "Yes." The eldest lady is the most thoughtful. ”

Thoughtful......

Gu Yanyao turned to look at Shi Huan's back as he left, and was silent for a long time. This girl, tonight...... It seems to be a little different. It's like what is held and collected on weekdays is gently opened, like a gorgeous butterfly spreading its wings, which makes people want to hold it in their hands even more.

Because there's something to be ...... So Gu Yansheng has to do it?

Gu Yanyao chuckled lowly and beckoned to the little eunuch behind him who was a little scared, "Did you hear Miss Fangcai's explanation clearly?" ”

The little eunuch nodded like pounding garlic, "Listen, hear clearly......"

"Ben Wang...... All you need is to remember the first half of the sentence...... If this king hears any words that catch the wind and shadow in his father's father......" Gu Yanyao's eyes raised slightly, as cold as water.

The little eunuch puffed and knelt down, "The slave hasn't heard anything today!" ”
