Fake concubine, real queen

These days, although the war in the Northland is still not peaceful, fortunately, a good news was sent back years ago, saying that General Yang Wenbing of the North Camp led [-] elite cavalry to attack the Second Grassland, although the battle situation has not yet been fully determined However, it is almost certain that the situation is in good shape, and it is unlikely to return in a bad way, but it will take some time for General Yang to handover with the Qiu Rong Department, deal with the prisoners of war of the Second Department, and those barbarian nobles who don't know what is good or bad. In a day's time, it will probably not be too soon to break out of camp and return.

The battle report of returning to Beijing went directly to the Ministry of War and the Yizheng Pavilion. He Gu, a small general, should not have known about it, but he still had his cousin Yan Dingye, Liu Jianshan, and Ning Silang in the Chenghe camp. Friends, when they went to Chenghe Daying to escort food and grass, they would chat with them from time to time, and naturally listened to the battle situation on the front line.

By the way, two months ago, He Gu was ordered to leave the Kunqiong Mountain camp and temporarily stationed in Yangxi. General Zhou was also very savvy, knowing that the emperor wanted to promote the son-in-law, so he waited for He Gu to resettle the refugees in Yangxi After getting it right, he took it as a merit and promoted him to be a general. In this way, He Gu's subordinates can manage more people, so it is not considered a violation of rules and regulations.

Although Yangxi County is not considered rich, but the folk customs are simple, so although the people in the county don't know which way this "General He Pian" is from, but they helped them resettle those refugees, and finally they can open the door to live a good life with peace of mind. In [-], I also sincerely thanked him, so these people always went to the station outside the city to send some fish, meat, chickens and ducks to Xiao He Pianjiang as a reward, and hoped that he could also spend a good time in Yangxi. good year.

At the beginning, He Gu naturally didn't dare to accept all the orders, but they are all honest people, and the kindness and hospitality are hard to get rid of. It is really not good to always pull down the face and refuse others, so he accepted more or less fish and meat, which is regarded as an acceptance. this kindness.

But it just so happens that Lord He Xiaohou can eat and sleep these days, and has a big appetite. When the Third Highness came to Yangxi before, he even brought a cook for him by the way. The little dude and the little guy in his stomach made up for it with extra meals, and the father and son both gained a few catties together.

It is not advisable for He Gu to tighten up the training too much after entering the New Year's Eve. After all, he is a mortal person. After working for a whole year, he is looking forward to the two days of Chinese New Year. It is true that military discipline needs to be strict, but it is also Can't be too unkind.

Perhaps it was because the weather at the end of the year was really cold, and a charcoal fire was lit in the tent, and the warmth made people drowsy. He Gu wrapped up a thick cotton coat and leaned against the desk, and became a little lazy. Opening and closing, but still holding a pen in his hand, he has never been willing to let go.

Now that he is calmly facing the reality, Master He Xiaohou is finally not so annoyed and annoyed by his body reaction similar to that of a pregnant woman. After all, since the child is not going to be lost, he should face the reality, and then twitch There's no point in escaping.

Zhengye was outside, seeing that the lights in Lord Yehou's tent were still on, he felt a little worried, so he yelled outside, and he opened the curtain to go in after getting He Gu's answer.

Then as soon as he entered, he saw Master Hou dozing off in front of the case.

Zhengye shook his head, and said: "If you are sleepy, you should rest earlier. Is there anything important that you have to do now? Your body is the most important thing."

He Gu shook his head to wake up from sleepiness, and said, "Well... I'm not sleepy... It doesn't matter, I have to write the letter first."

Hearing what he said, Zhengye didn't understand?

Immediately guessed that it was probably a letter to the third prince in Beijing. During this period, Lord Hou and the prince would communicate with each other almost every half a month. Rain or shine was very regular. Knowing this matter, He Gu would definitely not want to delay Before the letter was finished, he probably couldn't persuade He Gu, so he could only compromise and said: "Okay, then hurry up, it's almost midnight, staying up all night will hurt your body, even if you don't For your own sake, you have to..."

However, He Gu stared at Zhengye in a daze for a while, his eyes were very empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said: "...I feel like a girl."

Zhengye was startled, and said blankly: "Ah... what girl?"

He Gu coughed dryly, his voice was three minutes lower, and said, "It's just... I think this child on me looks like a girl."

Zhengye scratched his head and thought for a while, and said, "Whether the child is a boy or a girl, a doctor as powerful as Miss Yan didn't know it, how did Master know?"

He Gu said slowly: "At first I thought...it's so solid, and after so much messing around in front of it, there's nothing wrong with it...It looks like a kid, but these days it's in my stomach, and it's very obedient , never made a fuss with me, although sometimes it moves a little, but it is very quiet at night, so considerate... Isn't it a girl?"

Zhengye was taken aback when he heard the words, it was the first time he had heard Lord Hou mention his feelings after being pregnant so frankly, he felt quite strange for a moment, but knowing that the child did not disturb Lord Hou at night, he was really relieved for him I got up, thought for a while and said, "Is that so? I heard that women give birth before, and their fetuses move very much in this month. Some nights, they can't sleep at all. Being so considerate and sensible... really looks like a little princess."

He Gu drooped his eyes, wondering what he was thinking, and suddenly said: "...she is not a princess."

Zheng Ye was taken aback, thinking that this child is the third prince's flesh and blood, if she is really a young lady, wouldn't she be a real princess?Why is it not the princess...

But when he came back to his senses, he realized that it was... The third prince and the Hou Ye, although the prince and they both witnessed this child, it was indeed the flesh and blood of the prince and the Hou Ye, but if they said it, Who would believe that a man could bear children?

Not to mention anything else, just saying that it is royal blood, it needs to be recognized by the palace, and the first hurdle of the genealogical jade is difficult to pass. How can the Inner Court recognize a "princess" born of a man?

Zhengye understood the meaning of Master Hou's words——

It is absolutely impossible for this child to have two fathers in the face of the outside world, so there is almost no compromise between being the princess or the daughter of the Marquis Mansion.

If you really recognize the third prince as your biological father, then you can only say that the prince was born outside by a concubine or another woman, but if you have no name and distinction, you will inevitably be talked about behind your back. ...

Based on Zhengye's understanding of the young master, since he is willing to keep this child, he probably will not agree to let him suffer this kind of grievance.

Zheng Ye is still clear about how much the little Hou Ye protects the calf.

Sure enough, He Gu was silent for a while, and said: "...this child should stay in the He family's family tree in the future."

Zhengye was startled, and said: "Master, you are..."

He Gu said: "... If you're really a girl, why should you care about a princess who is wronged by someone who has no name and no distinction, and who is even gossiped by others, why not be a young lady in the He family, the He family has me as the master, I Who dares to say no to saying that she is Miss Di? At least life is comfortable."

Zhengye said: "This way... that's fine too, have you mentioned this matter with the lord?"

He Gu sighed, threw the little wolf in his hand on the desk, and said: "Not yet, aren't you worried about how to talk to him, I..."

He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly he stopped suddenly, and said: "...Isn't it time for the letter from Jingli Palace?"

Zhengye thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, it used to be every half a month, and it was never too late. This time, it was three days late. Why didn't the prince who is celebrating the New Year give you any news?"

His words were suddenly reminded by He Gu, and he suddenly said it without intention, but the speaker had no intention and the listener had the intention, but when He Gu heard this, there was a sudden thump in He Gu's heart——

His face suddenly twitched, and he pushed the desk aside abruptly and stood up.

Zhengye was taken aback by his sudden action, and said, "Why... what's wrong, Lord?"

He Gu walked to the center of the tent in two steps, didn't answer Zhengye's words, just walked back and forth for two steps with a face as heavy as water without saying a word, the steps were very hasty, which made Zhengye's heart skip a beat.

He Gu said: "How long has it been since New Year's Eve?"

Zheng Ye said: "Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, exactly three days."

When He Gu heard this, his palms immediately sweated. He didn't know if he was overthinking, but he really didn't dare to ignore it, because if what he guessed was true... then there would be trouble.

Zhengye was still a little confused, so he said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

He Gu grabbed the robe hanging on the shelf next to him, and said, "Prepare your horse, go to the Kunqiong Mountain camp, I want to see General Zhou."

Zhengye was taken aback, and said: "Ah, what... prepare the horse, this..."

He Gu's movements stopped again, his expression changed after holding the robe, and he murmured, "No... no..."

Zhengye said: "My lord, it's been almost six months, of course it can't be done, isn't it killing the little princess if you still ride a horse, you..."

However, He Gu ignored Zhengye, and interrupted him in a deep voice, saying: "You immediately take a team of horses and ride... ride the best horses! You have to go to the capital within tomorrow, you go and see See what's going on in Jingli now, and come back quickly to report to me!"

Hearing this, Zhengye's pupils shrank slightly. Although he is usually not very smart, he is not really stupid. After He Gu said that, he naturally understood what He Gu meant. He opened his mouth slightly and said in a daze: "Master...you are worried...worried about Beijing...but it's still Chinese New Year! Who dares to be so bold?"

He Guji said in a loud voice: "It's because it's still Chinese New Year and no one is prepared! At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, all the princes and nobles gathered in the palace. If you want to trap them all, this is the best opportunity."

Zhengye's expression changed in horror, and he said: "This... this... is why the prince's letter...is it late?"

He Gu shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I'm not sure about this, but the palace banquet on New Year's Eve and the defense of Gyeonggi are all errands of the Imperial Army of the Fifth Division of Gyeonggi. This year, His Majesty will probably hand it back to the Fifth Division of Gyeonggi, and Ji Hong will be in charge of it, and he belongs to Pei Zhaoyuan..."

Zhengye was dumbfounded when he heard it, and was frightened by his own Lord Hou for daring to call the prince by his first name, and then surprised by the amount of information in his words, and said, "What, Ji Dutong is a member of His Highness the Crown Prince, He...he is the commander of the Imperial Army of the Five Divisions of Gyeonggi, how could His Majesty not know that he is..."

It's just that before he finished speaking, Zhengye also understood that this matter was no small matter, although Hou Ye was always arrogant, but his expression now is definitely not a fake, if he really guessed right, then something big will happen.

The most urgent thing at the moment is not to ask Lord Hou to explain to him what is going on...

Zhengye calmed down for a rare moment, looked at He Gu Dingding and said: "Okay... I'm going to prepare my horses and set off to return to Beijing. When I get the news, I will rush back immediately. Don't worry too much, Lord Hou. Wait for me in Yangxi when I come back." .”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to pull the curtain to go out. He Gu felt lazy and dozed off just now, but at this moment he woke up completely. Dry.

Unexpectedly, Zhengye opened the curtain, and before he had time to leave, there were two people standing outside, who seemed to be about to speak. When he saw Zhengye coming out, he was slightly startled, and said with a smile: "I thought it was not the right time, why? Cousin and Is Masano not asleep yet?"

It was Yan Dingye and Ning Shilang who came to He Gu Xiaoju from Chenghe Camp.
