Chapter 237: Small Talk
Seeing that Gu Wanyin was silent, Duan Guifei chuckled again: "Actually, you don't have to be like a great enemy, I won't harm you." This smile is indescribably gentle and warm, and people can't help but fade the guard in their hearts a little.
The corners of Gu Wanyin's lips tugged, and a slight smile appeared: "The concubine thanked the concubine first." It's just that in her heart, she didn't believe that Duan Guifei really didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to chat with her.
"If Zhou Ruijing marries a side concubine, I'm only afraid of your status-" Duan Guifei only said half of it, and left the rest to her own thoughts, but because of this, it was more effective. If it weren't for Gu Wanyin's vigilance in her heart, I am afraid that she would have successfully been provoked by Duan Guifei's panic.
However, she still cooperated with a hint of deep groaning, and then the corners of her lips curled slightly, revealing a wry smile. Although it is a fraud, it is not sincere. No matter what, if Zhou Ruijing wants to marry a side concubine, she can't be happy?
Duan Guifei sat casually on the stone bench under the shade of the tree, and beckoned her to come and sit too. Then he continued softly: "Then what do you think? Do you want Zhou Ruijing to marry, or not to marry? ”
Gu Wanyin glanced at Duan Guifei in surprise, and then the bitter smile on the corner of her lips deepened: "I'm afraid, this is not something that concubines can call the shots." ”
"If you don't want to, there are many ways to stop it." Duan Guifei's expression did not move, and she said lightly: "It's like, when King Qin accepted the side concubine, Princess Qin tried her best to obstruct it. Didn't it work out in the end? ”
"Princess Qin's luck is excellent." If she hadn't been pregnant at that time, how could Princess Qin stop the queen mother's intentions?
Duan Guifei chuckled lightly, and said sarcastically: "Really? If he was really lucky, how could the emperor's eldest grandson be like that? The implication is that the illness of the emperor's eldest grandson is not accidental?
Gu Wanyin was shocked. looked at Duan Guifei and was speechless. However, at the bottom of my heart, there were turbulent waves and tumbling. No, she also has some doubts in her heart - how can she fake and do whatever she wants about pregnancy?
"You don't have to be surprised. In this world, nothing is impossible. Duan Guifei regained her grace and gentleness, and the sarcasm on her face was completely gone. If you want such medicine. I can find it for you, too. After eating it, you can get pregnant in less than half a year. ”
Gu Wanyin didn't know what to say anymore. For a while, my mind was a mess. On the one hand, she was surprised by Princess Qin's pregnancy, and on the other hand, she was puzzled by Concubine Duan saying these words to her. She didn't understand the meaning and motive of Duan Guifei for saying these words.
However, for Duan Guifei's proposal, she was not sensitive: "Thank you for your kindness, but the concubine thinks so." When it comes to pregnancy and childbirth, don't force it to be good. "As the saying goes, there are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't have to force it. The result of Princess Qin's imposition was already in front of her, how could she repeat the mistakes of the past? Besides, she and Zhou Ruijing have only been married for a few months, and they are not in a hurry.
"Also, you're still young, so you don't need to take any chances." Duan Guifei smiled and put aside the topic. Then he said, "That's right." Dow sent away? Can you settle down? ”
Gu Wanyin was shocked again, but after experiencing such a situation a few times, she quickly calmed down and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect what we tried our best to hide." The concubine has known for a long time. "King Qin can know, and Concubine Duan can naturally know. And in the same way, I can't say that the Queen Mother knows it.
"It's not unusual." Duan Guifei smiled: "Who doesn't have a dirty thing?" After a pause, he said: "The Tao clan must be arranged, don't let King Qin's people find it." Otherwise, it will become the best lever to blackmail the Zhou family. ”
That's true. Gu Wanyin smiled and bowed her head without saying a word. It's just that in my heart, I became more and more curious about Duan Guifei's purpose. On his face, he said, "Thank you for the reminder." "King Qin will use the Tao clan to threaten the Zhou family, could it be that Duan Guifei will not? In terms of performance, it seems that this is indeed the case, after all, Duan Guifei has never threatened her with this matter, and she is even more kind to remind her. It's just that the more this is the case, the more she feels that Duan Guifei must have other purposes.
"By the way, why don't you want to leave the palace today?" Duan Guifei turned to ask about this matter, her eyes flashing with curiosity: "I think, you should understand the meaning of the Holy Lord leaving the old princess in the palace." You must know that Princess Pingbei never enters the palace. This is the first time in the world. ”
Duan Guifei's last two sentences seem to be out of tune, and they don't matter. But in fact, she told Gu Wanyin something vaguely.
Gu Wanyin tightened her fingers. He pursed his lips, and his eyes were even darker. Of course she understood what the saint meant. Leaving the Zhou family in Beijing was naturally to contain the king of Zhennan. And now, although the king of Zhennan has not moved. But Zhou Ruijing is missing, and some people even say that Zhou Ruijing is plotting rebellion. Therefore, the meaning of leaving the old lady in the palace is very clear.
And why did the Holy Lord suddenly move such a mind and make such a decision? I'm just afraid, is it related to the king of the north of peace? Princess Pingbei rarely entered the palace once, but as soon as she entered the palace this time, the saint and the queen mother detained the old lady.
As for her own thoughts, Gu Wanyin looked up at Duan Guifei calmly, smiled slightly, and was quiet and gentle: "The concubine believes that the prince will return safely." Therefore, the concubine was willing to gamble on her life. Even if this can give her more trust in Zhou Ruijing, she will be content. Besides, just temporarily staying in the palace, you will not suffer from anything else. I believe that when Zhou Ruijing comes back, they will naturally be able to go home.
She did this just to tell the saint and the queen mother one thing - the Zhou family was frank and selfless.
"Zhou Ruijing really married a good daughter-in-law." Duan Guifei smiled gently, and there was a hint of praise in her words. "It was not for nothing that he insisted on asking for marriage in the first place."
Hearing Duan Guifei say this, Gu Wanyin's face turned red, and she lowered her head a little shy and shy. But in my heart, it is somewhat sweet. She did all this because of Zhou Ruijing. And what she wants to hear the most is also such a sentence, Zhou Ruijing did not marry the wrong person.
"With a princess like you, Zhou Ruijing should be satisfied." Duan Guifei smiled again: "Come to think of it, he shouldn't marry a side concubine;." It seems that the princess is wishful thinking. "No matter what aspect it is, Zhou Ruijing will not marry a side concubine again. It will not be as the old princess wishes, marrying a noble girl as a side concubine. For this, Duan Guifei is confident.
Gu Wanyin's heart fluttered, and she couldn't help but smile a little. Regardless of whether these words are polite or hypocritical, they always make people happy when they hear it.
"Although the old princess is the queen mother's own sister, the queen mother is old after all." Duan Guifei said softly, and there was gradually a trace of coldness in her eyes: "Besides, even if the Holy Lord is filial, he can't listen to the Queen Mother for everything. What should your Zhou family do then? Flowers are in full bloom, and the fire is cooking. No one can be so prosperous all the time. Besides, this is not the same as it used to be. When fighting the country, how can you be the same as guarding the country? ”
In addition to being silent, Gu Wanyin didn't know what to say. What Duan Guifei said is true. She couldn't argue with it. But in such a way, Duan Guifei dared to say it so directly. I don't know if Concubine Duan is too arrogant, or is she too favored so she dares to say anything? This point is somewhat contrary to Duan Guifei's gentle and elegant image.
However, Duan Guifei is so attached to a stranger, it is impossible that there is no other motive? After talking about it for a long time, it is not only to analyze the pros and cons, but also to analyze the situation, is it really just small talk? But she didn't believe it. Even if Concubine Duan was really bored, she wouldn't pick these words to say.
After hesitating for a moment, she didn't want to go around in circles with Duan Guifei like this anymore, so Suo Xing asked in a low voice the doubts in her heart: "Guifei Niangniang, what do you want to make your concubine?" ”
Duan Guifei slowly restrained the smile on her face, put her hands slightly on her knees, and said solemnly: "The Holy One means that the Zhou family, it is best not to participate in the establishment of the prince." And I mean the same thing. ”
Stand-up reserves, and stand-up reserves. Gu Wanyin lowered her eyes and thought in her heart: Could it be that the Holy Lord already has a plan to establish a prince? Or is this Duan Guifei playing tricks to scare her, so that she and Zhou Ruijing can understand that they should not form a party for personal gain? However, Duan Guifei's words made her a little relieved. She originally thought that Duan Guifei would ask Zhou Ruijing to join the camp of the six princes like Princess Qin. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just such a request.
There was a groan in her heart, but she hurriedly said on her face: "The prince has said a long time ago that he is only loyal to the saint. As for the rest, they will never do it or think about it. "Regardless of whether this is the meaning of Duan Guifei or the meaning of the Holy Lord, it is always right to show loyalty.
Duan Guifei smiled slightly, nodded lightly but did not continue to speak.
"Let's go to my palace and have a cup of tea." Duan Guifei said with a smile, "Lunch will also be used with me." ”
Gu Wanyin was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Then Duan Guifei seemed to see through her thoughts, and suddenly said softly and quickly: "What you ask in your heart, the Queen Mother may not necessarily answer." However, the Holy One is accustomed to taking a nap in my palace. ”
Gu Wanyin's heart jumped. Duan Guifei was telling her that what the Queen Mother couldn't do, the Holy Lord could do. Asking for the Holy One is more effective than asking for the Queen Mother.
It's just that the words are so true, but the face is ...... Gu Wanyin was a little hesitant in her heart.
Duan Guifei didn't urge, just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to make a decision.
Gu Wanyin finally gritted her teeth and nodded: "Concubine, thank you for the food." ”
The concubine nodded and got up with a smile: "After saying this, I'm also tired, let's go back and have a cup of tea quickly."
