From the moment Gu Zhisu entered the door, before taking off the screen from his shoulders, he lowered himself to the imperial concubine's couch, and was looking at him with great interest. The woman with calm and kind eyes saluted and said: "The child has seen the mother, How is mother today?"

"It's not bad, thank you, Fourth Young Master, for your concern." Before Murong married in, she had a reputation for this person, and Gu Zhisu, who was clearly just a concubine, but forcibly boiled Xin to death, couldn't stop herself. Now seeing him facing me with such a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, I feel a little strange when I think that I am not much older than him: "This time I am married to the Gu family, I am afraid that the second young master may have misunderstood me. , only the fourth young master is very kind to me—" Gu Zhisu heard the word "kindness", and guessed that she was trying to test herself, so she also smiled and said in a low voice: "My mother is married by a matchmaker, and the emperor bestowed the marriage It’s just human nature for a child to be close to his mother.”

"Fourth young master came here today, I'm afraid it's not just to say hello." Seeing what he said nicely, the smile on the corner of Murong's lips deepened, and she raised her eyes slightly to look at him and said, "If you have anything to say, fourth young master just say No problem."

When Gu Zhisu saw her talking, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he knew that she probably guessed that he had something to say when he came here, so he simply didn't go out of his way: "What a child wants to say can only be heard by the mother. , can’t be heard by others, in order to preserve integrity, it’s better for mother to dismiss others and speak again.”

Murong cast a fixed glance at him, and regardless of the hesitant look of the big maid beside her, she waved her hand to signal them to back down, sat up straight on the imperial concubine's couch, and raised her hand to signal Gu Zhisu to sit down. Next, he said in a low voice with a flat expression: "I have turned away from others. If the Fourth Young Master has anything to say, please tell me."

"Mother is so happy, and the child doesn't go around in circles." Seeing those maids leave, Gu Zhisu raised his eyebrows very lightly, and had some guesses about Murong's temperament in front of him, lowered his face with a smile and said softly, "My child As an editor of the Hanlin Academy, although he has not yet become an adult, he already has an official rank. Now that Hai'er's younger sister is married into the palace, and Hai'er is a concubine, if he stays in the mansion again, and waits until his younger sister takes another step, the mother will be afraid. Because of the legitimate son, he is afraid of children... Zhisu doesn't like to fight, I hope mother can persuade father to let Zhisu separate and start a family."

"Open the government?"

When Murong heard this, he looked him up and down with a special gaze: "Not everyone can say this, although the fourth young master is already an editor of the Imperial Academy, he can be regarded as a person with an official position, but After all, he is still an uncrowned men's double, so it's hard to say whether he will marry in the future, and the Gu family is one of the best families in Mingdu. ?”

Gu Zhisu knew empty mouth and white teeth, and she definitely didn't believe it when she said it, but she didn't reply when she heard the words, the smile on that gorgeous face was restrained, and she suddenly bowed to her and said slowly: "This is a big matter, Zhisu empty mouth Tooth, can't prove what I think in my heart, just like my mother's unbelief, then what happened today, I never said anything about it."

Seeing that he retreated so easily after only being asked one question, Murong felt strange, and ordered to chase away the guest with a smile on his face: "Forget it, I have only been married in the mansion for a few days, and Fourth Young Master refuses to confide in me just because of this. Clearly, since the fourth young master doesn't want to mention this matter again, then there is no such talk today—it's getting late, I'm a little tired, the fourth young master should go back."

The young man lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes with a smile on his lips, his expression was calm and peaceful, as if it wasn't him who said those words just now.

"Zhisu resigns."

Lowering her head and taking a sip of the milk, Murong raised her hand and pushed open the window lattice, looking at the moonlight outside the window, illuminating the boy's receding back, the nun in a brown blouse walked quietly behind her, bowed her body and then sank down. soundtrack.

"Princess, the fourth young master has gone far."

Murong put down the cup in her hand, and leaned sideways on the imperial concubine's couch, her gaze became deeper and deeper in the darkness, the old nanny who was not far from her, who had served her since she was a child, immediately lowered her body when she saw her like this, Beating her leg familiarly, Murong moved her calf, suddenly sneered and murmured: "Looking at his appearance, he is still somewhat sincere... How credible is Mammy's words about Gu Zhisu?" ?”

Mammy kept working, her voice was soft, but she was very sure: "At most [-] to [-] percent, no more than that is impossible."

"That's right." Murong lowered her eyes, raised her hand, looked at her smooth nails, and said softly casually, "Although he thinks well, it's a pity that he doesn't care whether it's true or not, even if it's true, not only him If you can't leave, I think the prince will not let him down easily, let the famous bastard leave the Gu family."

The mother was about to speak when she heard the words, but there were very light footsteps outside the door, followed by a servant girl reporting: "Princess, the prince has passed the Hanging Flower Gate and is about to reach the gate of the courtyard."

"The lord is here?" Murong sat up immediately, her brows and eyes suddenly lit up, her beautiful face was a little more beautiful, but her expression was still gentle and gentle, she stood up and walked towards the dressing table, while looking down at herself With a smile on his face, he raised his voice and said, "Go and see what I told the small kitchen, is the supper ready? The prince is tired all day, and he wants something warm."

The nanny standing behind her lowered her body with a smile and said, "I'll go and see this old servant, Wangfei don't worry."

The sky slowly dimmed, and the stars gradually shone brightly, projecting on the golden glazed tiles, emitting a hazy golden light.

The purple-robed eunuch carefully entered the door holding the zhezi. Seeing the pale face illuminated by the candlelight, the emperor who was lowering his head after the dragon case, recalled the imperial physician's diagnosis of the emperor a few days ago, and said frightenedly: "Your Majesty, you It's already three o'clock, and you are not in good health, so don't approve the memorials anymore. The prince will come tomorrow and can help you manage the government—" I can only approve it in person." Hearing the familiar voice, the emperor raised his head and glanced at him, then picked up the warm tea at hand, lowered his head and took a sip to refresh himself, heaved a long sigh of relief and leaned back on the dragon chair, Throwing away the vermilion pen in his hand, he said in a low voice with a gloomy expression, "After approving papers for so long, I'm not too sleepy, but rather hungry."

The imperial dining room prepares meals for the emperor at twelve o'clock, even when the emperor is asleep, he never slacks off, so whenever the emperor says he is hungry, the imperial dining room must have warm meals: "Then slave—" "Don't take food or anything, Just take two plates of dim sum." The emperor raised his head and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, he suddenly added, "Let the cook presented by King Baojun a few days ago make it."

The purple-robed eunuch was about to step out of the threshold, but he turned around when he heard the words, glanced at the emperor inexplicably, then lowered his body and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

When he turned around and walked down the steps, the chief eunuch in purple robe showed some worry on his face.

The pastry cook that the emperor mentioned was presented by King Baojun a few days ago.

Because of the matter of loyalty and righteousness, the king of Baojun, who was in great misfortune, was really honest during this time. A few days ago, he presented a pastry chef. , but every time he tried it, the purple-robed eunuch always felt that the taste was not right.

However, after eating those cakes, neither he nor the emperor had any problems with him. As a eunuch, he should be cautious in the palace. Without any evidence, he dared not let the cook of the imperial dining room discern, let alone the imperial physician. Go check the snacks, it's the time when the palace is in full swing, if nothing happens, you will be accused of framing.

When he was thinking this way, he had already arrived at the imperial dining room. The purple-robed eunuch suppressed his worries and quickly found the cook. In less than a cup of tea, he brought back a plate of lotus flower cakes, and presented it to the emperor, who swept it away. With a glance, he took a piece and ate it, his eyes lit up slightly, showing a satisfied expression: "It tastes good, thank you."

Seeing the emperor's expression, the purple robed eunuch finally bowed his head after a while.

"Oh? Xin Linhua offered a cook?"

As soon as Gu Zhisu came out of the Imperial Academy, he was drinking tea and snacks in a carriage, when he heard Lianzhu, who was serving beside him, talking about the events of the past few days. But he would always get distracted for no reason, and it took him a while to react when he heard Lianzhu talking about this matter.

"Yes, young master." Lianzhu saw that he was absent-minded, thought he was thinking about something important, and didn't want to continue, but when he stopped, Gu Zhisu looked up at him again, so he had no choice but to continue, " The cook is a pastry cook, and he can make good pastries. It stands to reason that the Imperial Dining Room can make whatever Your Majesty wants to eat. I don’t know why, Your Majesty has eaten the pastries made by that pastry chef, and has been eating them for the past few days. Pastry, I don’t know how delicious that pastry is.”

Gu Zhisu heard him talk about secrets in the palace with doubts that should not have been spread, let alone discussed, recalled whether there was such a cook in his previous life, and soon remembered one thing, and laughed in his heart Xin Linhua repeated the old tune, and actually brought out this trick again, a smile could not help but curl up on the corners of his lips.

"I'm afraid it's not because the pastry is delicious, but the things in the pastry, which make people feel delicious."

As soon as Lianzhu heard that there was something in the pastry, she vaguely guessed what it was. It was just that the emperor’s daily diet was tasted by eunuchs. If it was really poisonous, the eunuchs must have died first. However, the palace was calm at this time, and no one died. news, and if Dim Sum really eats people to death, it is even more impossible for the emperor to remain indifferent.

Thinking of this, he said thoughtfully: "What does the young master mean?"
