13 Chapter XIII

Zhang Zhenniang has been a man since then, and she will never dare to have a bad relationship with Cui Jiao again, and soon the new palm will move into the side house, and this personal grudge will be regarded as a non-existent thing.

As soon as Cui Jiao's menstrual affair left, she was in a hurry to ask Fu Yan to give her an excuse.

It was a hot day, Cui Jiao held a fan in one hand to shade the sun, and carried a food box in the other hand through the strange stone corridor, and entered the palace road to Chongwen Palace.

Cui Jiao said, "Master Guo walks slowly. ”

Guo Shoushan noticed her at this time, she is now wearing a female official uniform, under the sun, her skin is whiter than snow, and her temples are extraordinarily beautiful.

"Guo Fuzi shouldn't remember me."

Guo Shoushan cramped his hand saluted her, "I recognize the lady, although the lady wore a curtain fence in the Ci'en Temple last time, her body shape is also recognizable......"

A beautiful woman like her, she can remember it for a long time with just one glance.

Cui Jiao blinked, "Guo Fuzi's eyesight is really good." ”

Guo Shoushan was praised by her and became more and more shy, and he didn't know if his delicate face was red because the sun was too hot, or because of her words.

Cui Jiao thought he was interesting, thinking of what her brother said, many scholars have studied hard for decades, in order to gain fame, many are not in a hurry to marry a wife, after coming to Chang'an, she has also heard that once the scholar is in high school, there will be many noble families who can be a noble son-in-law, who wants to marry a poor wife.

"Why did Guo Fuzi come to the East Palace?" Cui Jiao asked, he is white, it should not be easy to enter the palace.

Guo Shoushan replied to her, "A certain person is now a diner of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he wrote the "Water Classic" for His Royal Highness in the Chongwen Pavilion. ”

Cui Jiao congratulated him twice, "Master Guo is only knowledgeable, so he can be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Guo Shoushan hurriedly said, "Not only so, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has accepted five people, and there are many talents in the Chongwen Pavilion, and a certain talent is not outstanding compared to others." ”

Cui Jiao's eyes lit up, it turned out that Fu Yan also accepted Confucian students as diners, and it was better to enter the Chongwen Hall to communicate with those talented people than to enter the official school, and her brother's talent was not bad, if she could also be accepted by Fu Yan as a diner, wouldn't it be easier to become an official in the future?

Cui Jiao had an idea in her heart, and asked him again, "What is the position of Guo Fuzi now?" ”

Guo Shoushan said truthfully, "If you don't have any position, you can only be a diner, and you can't compare to the bachelors in the Chongwen Pavilion, if you want to be an official, you need to enter the scientific examination." ”

Cui Jiao nodded, no matter what, as a diner for the prince, with the identity of the prince, her brother will have a worry-free future in the future, which is better than official learning.

Cui Jiao made up her mind, and asked him where he was going, he couldn't just walk around in this palace.

Guo Shoushan said that he was going to see Fu Yan.

Cui Jiao saw that he didn't seem to know the way, so she walked with him to Chongwen Palace.

Guo Shoushan was embarrassed and nervous all the way, and it was not until he was in front of the door that he mustered up the courage to whisper, "I don't know what kind of palace official the lady is, and I am afraid that there will be disrespectful words to the lady." ”

Cui Jiao said with a smile, "I'm just a secretary in the inner fang, and I am all doing things for His Royal Highness the Prince, so Master Guo doesn't have to look down on me." ”

Guo Shoushan silently wrote down the official position of the palm, he didn't dare to surprise the beauty, and he didn't even dare to ask the name.

Cui Jiao told him very bluntly, "My surname is Cui." ”

Guo Shoushan tightened his hand, and saluted her again with great restraint, "Cui Niangzi." ”

He suddenly felt that he had called the wrong one, and hurriedly said, "No, no, it's Cui Zhangshu." ”

Cui Jiao couldn't hold back a smile.

Guo Shoushan was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

At this time, the family order came out, Cui Jiao wanted to go in, and the family order said, "Your Highness let Guo Fuzi in." ”

That's not to let her in.

Cui Jiao had to wait outside the corridor, the sun was too strong, even if she stood in the shade, she was still sweating hot, and when she was impatient to wait, Guo Shoushan came out and left.

Cui Jiao wanted to go in, and said to the family order, "The kitchen made a crisp mountain, and the concubine sent it to His Highness, on such a hot day, I'm afraid it's going to heat up." ”

Jia Ling smiled, "Cui Zhangshu go back and rest, just send it in." ”

He raised his hand to take her food box.

Cui Jiao hesitated and whispered, "Can the concubine send it in by herself?" ”

The family order retracted his hand into his sleeve and said nothing with a smile on his face.

Cui Jiao whispered thanks and pushed the door in.

The family order put away the smile, revealing a distressed look, the little lady and Guo Shoushan said a few words, the prince was very unhappy, it can be seen that the prince cares about the little lady very much, this is not a good thing, no matter how much she loves it, she is just a concubine, the concubine is only for the prince's recreation, I only heard that the woman in the inner curtain is jealous, and I have not heard that the lord is jealous because of a concubine.

He wondered if he had put the cart before the horse.

--

Cui Jiao came in and took a light step, the prince was reading the book, she took out the crisp mountain in the food box and put it in his hand, and didn't see his eyes off the book, so she wanted to sit next to him and study ink for him, but she bent over.

Fu Yan suddenly said, "Don't disturb Gu here, go out immediately." ”

Cui Jiao saw that his side face was cold, and his thin lips were pursed into a line, as if she was angry, but she didn't offend him, why was she angry?

He was already moody, Cui Jiao had experienced his unpredictable temperament, but now she had to serve him carefully.

Cui Jiao didn't go out, sat down next to him, noticed that his body suddenly tensed, and was afraid that he wanted to gnaw on himself again, so he stepped back a little, polished the ink for him, and after grinding, he obediently folded his hands on his knees, and the wide sleeves of yarn embroidery hung at his feet, letting him know that she was accompanying him.

Crispy Mountain can't be put away for a long time, some of it has melted, Cui Jiao smelled the fragrance of milk, a little greedy, but it can only pass by.

"If Your Highness doesn't eat it again, the crisp mountain will be finished."

Fu Yan ignored her.

In the past few months, Cui Jiao has almost figured out how to get along with him, and she must have pretended to drive her away just now, otherwise she would have drunk her.

Cui Jiao stretched out her thin fingers and poked his arm and muttered, "Your Highness, don't be angry with the concubine, the concubine knows that she is wrong." ”

She was spanked fifty times by him, and she had to tell him that she was wrong, which was sad to think about.

Fu Yan froze, then brushed her hand away, and ate the crispy mountain by herself.

Cui Jiao swallowed a little saliva when she saw him eat a little, and didn't forget to beg him, "The concubine's household registration is still on the head of the long house, can Your Highness help the concubine re-invent, the concubine doesn't ask for anything else, as long as the concubine can be separated from the long house." ”

Fu Yan put down the chopsticks slowly, Cui Jiao hurriedly handed over the tea, Fu Yan took a sip, and said coldly, "How do you deal with yourself when you leave Cui's long house?" ”

Cui Jiao said, "The concubine wants to set up a female household (1). ”

Fu Yan said, "You still have a brother, and it is not in accordance with the law to set up a female household?" ”

Cui Jiao thought about it, she and her brother were really close to each other, and she couldn't tell him that her brother and her were not brothers and sisters, so she gave up the heart of the female household, and only said, "The concubine doesn't want to have anything to do with the big house anymore, please ask Your Highness to think of a way to let the concubine be separated from them." ”

Fu Yan stared at her, noble and arrogant.

Cui Jiao's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and cried, "The concubine is His Royal Highness's person, and I don't want to have anything to do with Changfang anymore......"

Fu Yan's gloomy eyebrows were slightly clouded, and he didn't say much, "The tea is gone." ”

Cui Jiao hurriedly poured him tea, tears still hanging down on the side of her cheeks, looking pitiful and obedient.

The tea was handed to Fu Yan, and when Fu Yan took the tea, she held her hand, and the tips of her pink and snowy fingers held him timidly, his eyes slanted at her, and tears still fell on his thick eyelashes, and he trembled, and two drops fell into his sleeve.

Fu Yan ruthlessly pulled her hand away.

Just when she was lost, she heard Fu Yan say, "Think about it." ”

Cui Jiaocai was at ease, thinking that since he could agree to help her make a loan, then ask him if he would like to accept her brother as a diner, maybe he would agree!

Cui Jiao wiped her tears, waited for him to drink tea, ate the rest of the crisp mountain, and served him to rinse his mouth, these things were done, Fu Yan began to drive people, "Why don't you leave?" ”

Cui Jiao tried to say, "The concubine met Master Guo on the way, and I heard him say that His Royal Highness accepted him as a diner......"

Fu Yan's two slightly stretched eyebrows were about to wrinkle again, "Guo Shoushan will tell you everything." ”

Cui Jiao was thinking about her brother, didn't notice the slight change in his expression, and asked, "Does Your Highness still accept diners?" ”

Fu Yan did not answer.

Cui Jiao was full of energy, "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness recruits young talents from all over the world, and they all say that they are virtuous and do not avoid relatives, and the concubine wants to recommend her brother Cui Zhongyong to His Royal Highness." ”

Fu Yan said, "Your brother is really virtuous and ambitious, and he doesn't need a recommendation from a woman. ”

Cui Jiao hurriedly said, "The concubine and the elder brother are like mayflies, in the Cui family, they can't settle down, how dare they show their talents, the concubine has been taught literacy by Aya since childhood, after Aye's death, it is the elder brother who carefully teaches the concubine, Your Royal Highness, you know the concubine, the concubine does not dare to boast of being full of knowledge, but she is also literate and understands etiquette, if the elder brother has no talent and no virtue, he will never be the concubine's husband." ”

Fu Yan picked up the scroll and said, "The lonely diners have been recruited, and no one will be accepted." ”

Cui Jiao knew that he was prejudiced against him, and even his brother was looked down upon by him, she got up and said, "Your Highness doesn't believe in the concubine, then wait for the elder brother to come to Chang'an to take the exam, at that time, His Royal Highness will read the elder brother's book and will definitely regret not believing what the concubine said today!" ”

She bowed to him angrily and left.

Fu Yan looked at the book in her hand and was distracted, her brother may not be able to come to Chang'an, the maritime merchant who sent her the letter had returned to Chang'an the day before yesterday, the letter was not delivered to Cui Zhongyong, after she was sent out of Qinghe, Cui Zhongyong was removed from the Cui family on the charge of stealing the ink treasure in the clan, and now he has disappeared.

He thought that when he chose the crown princess, he would dismiss Cui Jiao, she was the daughter of the Cui family, and she would return to the Cui family, and she had nothing to do with him, but now she wanted to break away from the Cui family and reinvent herself, her brother was not there, how difficult it was for a little lady to stand on her own.

She doesn't want to be swayed by the Cui family anymore, if he makes excuses for her, after being dismissed, she can marry freely, she is a palace official in the East Palace, and if she goes out of the East Palace, even if she can't marry a wealthy noble, she can marry into a wealthy upstart family.

Fu Yan thought of Fang Cai, when Guo Shoushan talked to her, she smiled happily, although Guo Shoushan is poor, but he is knowledgeable, and he will be able to get a name in the scientific examination in the future, Cui Jiao is a good match with him, as long as he is willing to match.

Cui Jiao's coquettish attachment to him will become Guo Shoushan's, and Cui Jiao's person will also become Guo Shoushan's, and the intimacy between them is no longer unique to him.

Fu Yan threw the book away, his expression becoming more gloomy and obedient.

He would never be seduced by a little woman, who was still his concubine, and no master would be pleased that his concubine had too much to do with other men.

Cui's family will move to Chang'an soon, and then she will be dismissed back to Cui's.

What excuse could he have made to listen to the little woman's nonsense?
