III Jiangshan

Saying goodbye to Yuan Chengbai, Yuan Youqi's mood is not as calm as it seems on the surface.

One she looked at the direction Yuan Chengbai was leaving, it was definitely not where Cuiweixuan was, but the northwest corner of the Forbidden Palace.What is he doing there?Yuan Youqi drew a big question mark in his heart.

This is not enough to trouble her. What makes her feel complicated at the moment is the destination she is going to, Yanlai Palace, and the person she is about to meet, Gu Heng.

Before in Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Wei instructed her to read a few memorials, and tested her ability in handling political affairs. She was satisfied and in a good mood, so when she was about to leave, he told her: " From now on, I will go to Yanlai Palace every afternoon to pay my respects to Concubine Zhao and listen to her teachings."

After hearing this, Yuan Youqi was stunned.

She seriously suspected that she was hallucinating.She even doubted whether this was the test of her father.

Her reaction had already fallen into the eyes of Emperor Wei, and Emperor Wei understood it, and said with a smile, "What? Any objections?"

Yuan Youqi was a little unbelievable, she asked cautiously: "Father asked the son to go to... Concubine Zhao every afternoon to say hello?"

"Is there a problem?" Emperor Wei asked back.

Yuan Youqi was choked, can she say that there is a problem?

Since Gu Heng is not her biological mother, it is completely unreasonable to go to ask for safety every day!What's more, Emperor Wei is clear about the... part between her and Gu Heng.

Even if you step back ten thousand steps and say that Gu Heng is the queen and the master of the harem, as the crown prince, she has no reason to go to say hello every day!

Queen!

Yuan Youqi's eyes were fixed: Could it be that the father wants to...

Her heart sank at once——

If the father really had this thought, then it would make sense.The prince greets the queen who is not his biological mother every day. Although it is not very reasonable in terms of affection, it is not a problem in terms of etiquette.

Yuan Youqi bit her lip lightly, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Emperor Wei obviously had no intention of explaining her doubts, but said: "Baoxiang, now that you are the crown prince, I see that you are doing well in politics, your master taught you very well, and you are also very hardworking. I am very relieved. But to be the crown prince and the emperor of the Great Wei in the future, it is not enough to only deal with political affairs. You need to put in more effort in dealing with the world. With great progress, Father will be able to rest assured that this huge country will be handed over to you in the future."

Yuan Youqi listened here.She had to admit that Emperor Wei was right.However, she is very clear that she knows a lot of political affairs and principles, most of which are not due to the master of the imperial study, but the result of more than ten years of obedience from the concubine and Gu Heng's earnest teaching.

Of course, she would not tell Emperor Wei about such things.

Only to hear Wei Emperor say again: "I, Great Wei, worshiped Taoism, and the previous emperors also believed in Taoism. In the past, Taizu conquered the world and conquered these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. , advocating the way of Huang Lao and recuperating with the people, especially during the reign of Emperor Wenzong, this measure was carried out as an important state affairs. Light corvee and light taxes, and rest with the people, only then did the great Wei become prosperous and prosperous. The Xiqiang and other surrounding tribes dare not easily offend the border."

"So, Baoxiang! The Dao is boundless, and the Taoism is profound and profound. Applying it to oneself can cultivate one's self-cultivation, and applying it to the country can establish a country and govern it. You have to study it intensively to get something! And in terms of Taoism, what Concubine Zhao said You know a lot, and there are some points of view that even the emperor has to admire. You have to learn from her humbly, so that you can continue to improve." Wei Di finally said.

Yuan Youqi understood.

Her father said all this in one breath, just to give her a legitimate reason to greet Gu Heng every day, and at the same time ask Gu Heng for knowledge of Taoism.

Yuan Youqi understands and admires Gu Heng's erudition and Gu Heng's not-so-common views on world affairs.But how did her father know about this matter?

Could it be that just because of this month's communication, father had such a deep understanding of Ah Heng?

Thinking of this, Yuan Youqi felt sour in his heart.She doesn't like anyone but her to have a deep understanding of Gu Heng.It was even more difficult for her to imagine that with Gu Heng's strong character, he would put down his body and have an in-depth exchange with Emperor Wei.

Therefore, Yuan Youqi felt even more sour——

It's been a month, so maybe the father hasn't touched Ah Heng?

She couldn't ask her concubine about this kind of thing, and she couldn't find Tong Tong's historian to find out. She could only rely on her own guesses.However, guesswork results...

Yuan Youqi's heart was like grass growing, messy.She quickened her pace, eager to see Gu Heng.

She hasn't seen Gu Heng for a month!

She can only rely on lovesickness, and can only rely on occasional news from other people to maintain her humble lovesickness. What kind of suffering is this!

She walked quickly with Tang Xi for about a quarter of an hour, and a figure from a distance hurried over to meet her.

The man was wearing an internal prison uniform, so his grade was not low.He approached, and with a smile on his face, he saluted Yuan Youqi: "You Lu, the slave servant Yan Lai Palace Chief Supervisor, has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

You Lu?Yuan Youqi had heard of this name before.

As someone who always pays attention to Yanlai Palace and Gu Heng, how could Yuan Youqi not know the situation in Yanlai Palace?

You Lu said that he came to greet His Highness the Crown Prince at the order of Concubine Zhao.

Yuan Youqi was silent.

She has realized that asking her to go to Yanlai Palace to say hello every day is not just Wei Di's intention.Or, at least, Gu Heng knew about this matter and approved it.

Why?Didn't she keep hiding from herself?Isn't she afraid of having something to do with herself?

What, the situation has changed now?Did they not hide from each other's past in the Forbidden Palace?

Yuan Youqi was even more confused, she found that she seemed to have caught some terrible truth.What's even more frightening is that she still can't see this fact clearly.

However, Yuan Youqi is very clear about one thing: it won't be long before the whole palace knows about her visit to Yanlai Palace.

Moreover, neither Emperor Wei nor Gu Heng obviously cared about such a predictable result.

Why is this again?

In the past, didn't the father be very jealous of his relationship with Gu Heng, so he calculated himself, and forced Fengrou into the Wu Palace at that time?And he didn't hesitate to save his face and appoint himself as the envoy to welcome the relatives, to go to Gu's residence to welcome the relatives on behalf of the emperor?

Why, just over a month later, everything has turned around?

Yuan Youqi is certain that there must be a reason for this.And that reason must have something to do with the plan that my father always kept, wanting to make Gu Heng the queen.

Because Gu Heng was to be canonized as the empress, so I made preparations in advance to let myself, the current crown prince and future emperor, get closer to the queen, so as to enhance the "mother-child relationship"?

Ah!How can it be!Yuan Youqi sneered secretly.

I was born by my mother and concubine, and even if I become the son of heaven in the future, I will take my mother and concubine as the empress dowager as a matter of course.As for Gu Heng, she still wants to marry her as her own queen!How can she be allowed to be the queen mother!

But what if the royal father really did this?Yuan Youqi was worried.

She suddenly discovered that even though she thought she had grown up and understood a lot, some situations were not something she could easily face and solve.

Yan Lai Palace.

Gu Heng had already led the palace guards to welcome him out of the palace.Although she is the concubine of heaven in terms of title, Yuan Youqi is the prince, and she is still higher than her in terms of etiquette.

You Lu leaned slightly, leading the way ahead, and in the distance, the vermilion figure could be seen faintly.

Gu Heng watched from a distance until he saw Yuan Youqi's tall figure clearly, and the scarlet tuanlong uniform fit her figure perfectly.

As he got closer, Gu Heng could see clearly.

She found that she hadn't seen him for more than a month, and the child had grown up again, and his appearance had grown wider.The jade crown on the head and the vermilion on the body are more like Yuan Youqi's jade.

Then Gu Heng heard the sigh from the deepest part of his heart——

This is a child she raised with her own hands.She finally pushed her to the position of crown prince, and in the future, she will be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, rule the world, become the Great Wei, and even the most honorable person in the whole world!

Gu Heng's eye sockets were slightly wet.She forced herself into a smile, and faced Yuan Youqi's direction.

She should be smiling.Even if she didn't have the life to see this child ascend to the throne with her own eyes, and she could achieve such an ending, she should still be smiling.

But, why, there is an inexplicable feeling slowly spreading in the bottom of my heart?

In the future, the great hatred will be avenged and the death will be deserved. What else is there that cannot be let go and is not reconciled?

Gu Heng laughed secretly that he was really thinking too much, probably because there is no such child who has been making noises from time to time recently, and his mind is too idle?Maybe it's because he lived in Yanlai Palace for a long time and was infected by too many traces of Jingyan?

Sentimentality and the like, how could it be involved with myself?

Gu Heng didn't know that her forced smile fell in Yuan Youqi's eyes, and she felt a little lonely.

Where are you laughing?Yuan Youqi would rather Gu Heng cry happily.

In her eyes, Gu Heng must have suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot. He may even have been treated harshly by his father and bullied by other concubines.

In short, in Yuan Youqi's eyes, Gu Heng is so pitiful that it makes people feel distressed, and it seems that everyone can be bullied.

Where did she expect it?Who else has the ability to bully Gu Heng?Thank God for Gu Heng not bullying others!

All the maids and eunuchs of Yanlai Palace have already bowed down to the prince.

Gu Heng said with a smile, "His Royal Highness."

She doesn't need to say much, let alone do anything, standing there, she is a unique scenery, her calmness, her strength of character, no matter what the occasion, no one can replace her.

Yuan Youqi had already come close, she fixed Gu Heng's eyes earnestly, and carefully breathed the breath that belonged to Gu Heng.Yuan Youqi told himself that he had to see her as much as possible, and grab as much of her breath as possible, because she still relied on these to support her thoughts.

"Get up!" Yuan Youqi finally did not lose his sense of propriety, and ordered everyone in Yanlai Palace to say.

After she finished speaking, she still kept her eyes on Gu Heng: "Father ordered Gu to come to ask Concubine Zhao about the way. Gu is a student, so how can I bother you to greet him personally?"

How are you doing this month?Have you suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot?Yuan Youqi asked with his eyes.

Gu Heng met her gaze, still smiling calmly and decently: "Since His Royal Highness said so, I will wait in the palace next time."

As he spoke, he turned sideways, raised his hand and swiped backwards, saying, "His Royal Highness, please!"

She didn't answer Yuan Youqi's question at all, not even a glance.

Yuan Youqi's heart sank immediately, and he had no choice but to follow behind her resentfully.

Gu Heng's back is very graceful, and the concubine-colored palace dress wraps her body just right.

Her figure is definitely not plump, and she is even thinner than ordinary women.However, in Yuan Youqi's eyes, everything about Gu Heng, including her figure, is perfect and impeccable.

This is probably "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", right?

Gu Heng led the way in front, Yuan Youqi followed closely, Tang Xi and You Lu waited on him more than ten feet away with great eyes.This gave Yuan Youqi the opportunity to boldly look at Gu Heng's figure.

Such a person, no matter how you look at it, you can't get enough of it.

Yuan Youqi thought in a daze, his mind drifted involuntarily, and he thought of hugging her, kissing her, and even biting the tip of her tongue...

Yuan Youqi's breathing quickened, a strong impulse rippling in her chest...

If not here, if...

She came back to herself in shock, and met Gu Heng's inquiring gaze.

She didn't know when Gu Heng turned around and looked at her.

Yuan Youqi's face turned red, she suspected that Gu Heng had seen her dreaming just now.

Gu Heng didn't say anything, but his eyes became darker.

"Is this the first time the prince has come to Yanlai Palace?" Gu Heng asked suddenly.

"Ah!" Yuan Youqi looked up in a daze, and saw a pair of couplets on the door of the main hall in front of him——

Pianpian new swallows, both entered my house.

Yuan Youqi had a sharp pain in his chest.

She recognized that it was her father's handwriting.Therefore, this pair of couplets was mentioned by my father.

This poem comes from Tao Qian's "Imitation of Ancient Times", but it has a different meaning here.

Yan Lai, Yan Lai, come into my arms?

Yuan Youqi thought bitterly.

But suddenly Gu Heng seemed to be talking to himself, and murmured: "In fact, this used to be the residence of a concubine. Coincidentally, her surname is also Gu."

The author has something to say: Who would have guessed that the faint king wanted to make Gu Heng his queen?Come, let's talk about life~

Yan came, Yan came, Gu Jingyan.
