Fake concubine, real queen

Qingyu Palace was the residence of Pei Zhaoheng when his identity had not yet been restored, and he was still the residence of the "Eldest Princess". Although both the emperor and Pei He knew well that the so-called "Eldest Princess" did not exist at all, they congratulated them publicly on the outside. After all, Gu is still a son-in-law, the emperor's son-in-law, and now he is injured and needs to be raised in the palace, staying in the former residence of his deceased wife "Eldest Princess", which is naturally logical and nothing to criticize.

Since those little maids just now appeared here, most of them must have been maids who stayed in Qingyu Palace to serve the "Eldest Princess". Just looking at their appearance, it is obvious that they are still kept in the dark. They didn't know that the Third Prince in front of them was the master who had served them for many years.

Although He Gu also vaguely heard Lan Shu mentioned that when the Third Highness dressed up as a woman, she had done everything by herself for more than ten years, and almost never let the palace people around her serve her closely. Shen showed his clues, and if the prince or the Chen family's eyeliner noticed his identity, there might be troubles.

Thinking of this, He Gu couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. It is true that whether it was the "eldest princess" before or the third prince who had regained his status as a prince and stood in front of his eyes, Pei Zhaoheng's life was all good, whether it was the previous life or the present life. It didn't go well, even Pei Er, who was scheming and stumbling by the crown prince, has been his second prince upright since he was a child, and he has never been less loving and cared for by his mother, Concubine Wen Gui. Uncle Wen Xiuming's help.

Just like the Chen family is to the crown prince, the Wen family is to Pei Er, and the Yan family is to He Gu, behind him is the sense of security of relatives, naturally like a person who drinks water and knows whether he is warm or not.

But the Third Highness, there is nothing.

He Gu still couldn't figure it out before——

Why does His Highness the Third Highness, who is clearly talented, learned and ambitious, willingly guard her mother in the harem as a woman, almost wasting the most vigorous and flourishing time of a young man, but now thinking about it ...

What he has... is too little, so he can't afford to gamble.

He Gu wandered into the sky, and didn't hear clearly what the Third Highness and them ordered before those little maids retreated, but he just looked at Pei Zhaoheng in a daze when he tilted his head to give instructions to the palace maids, as if he was born with a bit of a smile. Indifferent and alienated, with a perfectly lined side face, his mood drifted far away unknowingly——

It seems that ever since His Highness the Third Highness reappeared in front of him as a man, he has always had that gentle and elegant appearance. He can always be obedient to He Gu, regardless of whether He Gu has done something that makes him unhappy. , even when He Gu didn't say hello to him when he was in Yangxi, he decided to give birth to the child on his own initiative. He was clearly the other father of the child, and he never showed any unhappiness or resentment.

May I ask, if it were any other man who would beat his own child secretly when he met a lover without saying anything, how many of them would be able to deal with it indifferently?

It is true that it seems a little hypocritical to let He Gu, the instigator, worry about this. After all, for him, such a Third Highness, isn't it good?

Great.

Too good to be true.

Even compared to those Pian Pian sons who are highly sought after by the ladies in the boudoir and almost only exist in the books of the gentlemen who write books at will, they are not much better. However, is this third highness really what he looks like?

... Or is it because he has too little that he is so cautious, even in front of a lover who already has a similar heart, Pei Zhaoheng still has to carry the burden and dare not show his true heart?

For some reason, He Gu suddenly remembered that piece of "Third Prince's Wish Comes True" and Yuli's unsmiling, gloomy, completely unpredictable third prince. He obviously had the same temperament as the third prince He Gu met after his rebirth. Very different.

Although the dream was just a dream, the dream was too real. If the Third Highness could really come back from the dead after his death in the previous life, it would seem logical that he would grow up to look like the Third Highness in the dream.

But He Gu didn't want him to become like that.

"Zihuan, does the shoulder injury still hurt?"

He Gu was stunned, and then he pulled himself out of his thoughts, said "ah", looked up at Pei Zhaoheng, squeezed out a smile, and replied: "No...it's okay, it's just a skin trauma , it doesn't matter, it will be fine after a few days of cultivation."

However, He Xiaohou could never hide his thoughts on his face, not to mention that it was Pei Zhaoheng who sat across from him and looked at his expression without saying a word.

Since he became the king, although Pei Zhaoheng has been crowned as the Prince, and his status has overwhelmed Pei Zhaolin, he has always had a low temper. Said that on weekdays, no matter how she dresses or wears, or eats and clothes, she never puts on the airs of a prince.

But today, he was wearing the black dark gold patterned four-claw python dragon robe and a three-beaded purple gold crown.

I think now that the crown prince has committed a crime, the emperor is ill, and the loyal king is not talented in governing. If there are really important affairs of the court, except for the elders in the Yizheng Pavilion, naturally they can only fall on his shoulders, and listen to the young men just now. The palace maid said, this person has probably spent the past few days at the court meeting with the ministers, and just had to rest, so he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he couldn't stop watching him coming.

Although He Gu thought it was very useful, the black clothes really set off people's deep feelings, and the third highness had a somewhat cold appearance, so he looked more dignified and lofty, making people afraid to offend easily.

Pei Zhaoheng lowered his eyelids slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He condescended to wash the handkerchief in the copper basin beside the bed. He Gu peeked at him, unconsciously lowered his voice by three minutes, and asked a little cautiously. : "Why didn't your Highness speak? But did I say something wrong?"

Pei Zhaoheng rinsed his handkerchief, walked to the bed and sat down, his eyes fell on He Gu's face, but when he looked at him, he rarely showed any expression, and there was no smile on his face, The pair of pupils, which were already pale in color, couldn't see any waves, but said lightly: "Take off your clothes."

He Gu heard the words, choked up slightly, but still honestly untied the lace on the chest of the pajamas on his body, exposing the left shoulder and half of the chest, and said: "...my injury is really nothing serious, just now When I woke up, I didn't feel any pain anymore, and after two days..."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "It's all off."

He Gu was taken aback for a moment, holding his half-faded clothes with both hands, and said: "Ah, isn't Your Highness only looking at my injuries..."

However, as he spoke, the voice in his throat inexplicably became smaller and smaller, and the word "do" at the end was as inaudible as a mosquito humming.

Pei Zhaoheng didn't answer, but still looked at him without saying a word.

Although He Gu didn't know what he was going to do, he thought to himself that he was injured right now, and it was impossible for His Highness to pull him to do something inappropriate at this time, so although he was still a little guilty, he still obediently put his upper body I took off my pajamas.

Pei Zhaoheng didn't speak, just raised his hands on both sides of his already treated and gauze-wrapped wound, and touched the overflowing bloodstains lightly with his fingertips. gas.

"hiss……"

The pain is not pain, but...it's a bit unexpected.

There was a charcoal fire in the bedroom, and the warm person was almost sweating, but Pei Zhaoheng's fingertips were slightly cold.

This taste is a bit hard to describe.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "Turn around and lie down."

He Gu then lay down and turned over, lying on the bed with his chin resting on the brocade pillow.

"...Lie down."

Pei Zhaoheng didn't answer.

He Gu's mind was a little blank, and he began to think about why the Third Highness was so indifferent today, could it be that he really did something wrong?

He Gu was lying on his stomach, so naturally he couldn't see Pei Zhaoheng's face, and he didn't speak, so He Gu could only hear the crackling sound of burning charcoal in the bedroom.

But soon, there was a warm touch on the skin on the back, and He Gu was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Pei Zhaoheng was actually wiping his sweat.

Perhaps it was because he was seriously injured and traumatized, and the palace people were afraid that he would be cold, so they burned such a strong fire in the bedroom. Although it is better to be hot than cold, it does not hinder anything, but the body is stuffy. The thin layer of sweat is neither clean nor refreshing after all.

Pei Zhaoheng's wiping movements were just right, and He Gu had to admit that it was a bit comfortable. Although he personally served him, He Xiaohou was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it carefully, they will both raise their children together, so it's still polite. ... It is really unnecessary, but I can accept it with peace of mind.

But as soon as he felt comfortable, Master He Xiaohou felt a little dizzy. He tried his best to find a topic and said, "That's right... I passed out that day, and I don't know what happened next. How did Your Highness find it?" Mine? But have the Chenghe Shenwu Battalion and Ruixun Battalion arrived yet?"

Pei Zhaoheng's movements paused, but he didn't answer the question, he just said: "...Brother asked you to unload the knife, you unloaded the knife, told you to enter the palace, you then entered the palace, why are you so obedient?"

"If my mother and I were not in the palace at that time, do you know what would have happened?"

He Gu choked up, thinking that he was really angry about this.

He was sure of Pei Zhaoheng's temperament, and knew that he would take the soft and not the hard, so he immediately softened his tone and replied in a low voice: "I...I ran all the way, and when I came, Zhou Yufei was talking all the way on the road, saying that Your Highness Seeing Pei alone...well, I went to see the prince, and the emperor is seriously ill again...I am also afraid that the prince will jump over the wall in a hurry and go crazy, regardless of the reputation of killing his father and mother, and killing his brothers, in case he wants to take His Highness's life , so what should we do? Just... If you care about it, you will be in chaos, thinking that I will be the only one going in. After all, Zhengye and Ning Lang will come out after rescuing King Zhong and Teacher. There won't be too much trouble, I couldn't hold back for a while...I..."

There was no sound above his head, and the person who wiped his body didn't say a word, only the sound of even and shallow breathing, again and again.

He Gu paused, and said: "...I did things without consideration. Fortunately, this time I am lucky and fateful. I will definitely be more careful next time."

However, Pei Zhaoheng still didn't answer.

He Gu panicked.

Not to mention that the Third Highness almost never got angry with him in the past, even if there was something unhappy, as long as he slumped his head and actively showed weakness, and no matter how nicely he begged for a few words, the Third Highness would always be unable to bear it and soften his heart Why did he become so angry today? Even though he sincerely admitted his mistake, he still refused to calm down?

Well, Lord He Xiaohou asked himself, deeply introspected——

Indeed, even if he has a big heart, but the Third Highness cares about him so much, and he still has their unborn child in his stomach, it is only natural for the Third Highness to be angry if he takes such a big risk in a flash of his brain .

Pei Zhaoheng said: "Can't there be any trouble? If you die, what should I do?"

He Gu was taken aback, this time he really stuttered, it was the first time he heard Pei Zhaoheng speak like this, although the Third Highness was serious about the two of them, but after all, his temper was restrained, he rarely expressed his feelings in his heart, and he never expressed his feelings. Not so bluntly...

What "what should I do"... It sounded like a little daughter-in-law who complained that her husband joined the army to serve the country and was left alone at home.

He Gu felt a little flattered for no reason, and he couldn't say why, in short, no one else would understand the feeling, probably because he suddenly felt that the sword he received would not be enough to get Pei Zhaoheng's words. loss.

It's a pity that it wasn't long before the third highness spoke calmly: "I have asked the emperor to allow you to go home to recover from your injuries. In the past few months, you can go back to cultivate your body with peace of mind. Don't worry about it any more."

He Gu was stunned, and said: "This...the prince, what kind of regulations are there? I heard from the little maids just now that the emperor asked the twelve guards to detain the prince, but he didn't mention abolishing the prince. , Has the Emperor and His Highness made it clear? What is the meaning now? Could it be that he forced the palace once and made such a big disaster, but can he still escape unscathed?"

Pei Zhaoheng raised his eyes to look at him, and said lightly: "I said, you go back to take care of yourself, don't worry about these things anymore."

He Gu wanted to say more, but Pei Zhaoheng interrupted him decisively. He put the handkerchief back into the water basin, turned around, walked to the bedside and sat down to dress He Gu, while saying: "Have you forgotten, Zihuan? The child is seven months old."

He Gu was stunned, then touched his belly, and said: "Yes... this kid is too honest, I have been tossing all the way, and he just kicked me when I fell asleep, and almost killed me." Forget about him."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "I've been looking through the daily life notes of Emperor Gaozu and Empress Gaozu these days, and I found a few words, men's pregnancy and childbirth seem to be different from women's."

When He Gu heard this, he was inexplicably embarrassed, his cheeks blushed instantly, and he stammered: "This... what's there to read here, and then we can do whatever we want..."

Pei Zhaoheng shook his head and interrupted: "It's my fault that I made you go through the turbulence of the rescuer. Dr. Yan said at the beginning that there are dangers in a man's pregnancy. How can you be careless?"

He Gu scratched his nose, and what His Highness Xin Dao said seemed to make sense. It seemed that he, his own father, was not caring enough, but asking him to go through the daily life notes and study how to give birth to a child was really embarrassing him, He Zihuan. Let's go back and ask Miss Yan.

As soon as Pei Zhaoheng was interrupted, He Gu also forgot to continue to ask him about the follow-up of the prince's forced palace and the recent court affairs.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but the Third Highness seems to be unwilling to talk about these things with him any more.

He Gu knew that he didn't want to mention it, most likely he didn't want to let himself continue to worry about it, healed his wounds well, and now that the rebellion has been put down, there are no soldiers and horses, and the affairs of the court are twists and turns, he probably doesn't have that if he wants to help It is better to count on Mr. Wang, the mentor, to advise Pei Zhaoheng if he is wise. As long as he is alone, he will be worth at least a hundred cobblers like him.

He didn't ask any more questions.

The sky was getting dark, and He Gu still wanted to pull Pei Zhaoheng to talk, but his eyelids started to fight. Although he was in good shape, he was still fleshy after all, and he was stabbed again while pregnant. The child was saved again and again, but his body was still somewhat unbearable, and he really couldn't stand it any longer.

His Highness the Third Highness didn't leave, until He Gu squinted his eyes and fell asleep again, he sat on the edge of the bed, without saying a word, silently stroked He Gu's hair with his fingertips.

Until the sky fell and the lights dimmed.

He Gu's injury was getting better day by day. Pei Zhaoheng still came to Qingyu Palace to see him every day after the court meeting. During this period, Empress Chen and Concubine Wen Gui sent people to deliver some supplements. Mammy even came to Qingyu Palace in person, and talked to him for a long time, saying that the empress misses his body very much, but right now she is busy taking care of her majesty, so it is not good to go away, and told him to take good care of his wounds until he recovered It's not too late to leave the palace after the injury.

But even though Empress Chen said that with a big heart, He Gu knew that he would never stay in the palace for a long time. One story spread back and it was inevitable that people would comment that he was proud of his achievements and broke the rules. This was originally a son of the Pei family, and Lord He Xiaohou was still thinking about putting this child on the He family's genealogy, and he was really guilty of keeping him in the palace, so when he recovered a little and was able to go to the ground, immediately So the 36 plan was the best plan, and he only went to Lanzheng Palace and the empress to invite An Xien, and then he was ready to slip away.

But it was a coincidence for He Gu, on the day when he was going to pay his respects to the Lanzheng Palace, the emperor happened to be in a very good condition and could go to the ground.

He Gu originally thought that he could run away as long as he asked An to thank him through the screen of the inner hall, so that even if he didn't kneel and kowtow, the emperor would not be able to see clearly from inside, after all, the child in his stomach is seven months old now Now, it would be embarrassing for him to bend down and kowtow again, who knew that the emperor could go down to the ground, and was just standing in the main hall cutting branches of potted plants laughing at Empress Chen, and this happened to hit him right in the face.

He Gu and the emperor met each other's eyes, screaming in their hearts that it's bad luck, and was worrying about how to get around the matter of not kneeling, but the emperor said: "Gu'er's shoulder injury is still not healed, why did you come to pay my respects so soon? , because you are not used to living in the palace, and you want to go back?"

He Gu had no choice but to force a smile, and slowed down the gesture of kneeling down, and said slowly: "Anywhere in the palace is good, how can I not get used to it, but after all, the forbidden palace is the resting place of the nobles, Monarchs and ministers are different, and it may be against the rules for ministers to stay here for a long time..."

Speaking of this, He Gu suddenly frowned, his shoulders trembled, and he took a breath of cold air very restrainedly.

Seeing him like this, Empress Chen immediately felt distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to meddle with him, and said anxiously: "You child, why are you so disciplined, but it hurts again? Since you are injured, why kneel? You are my family and His Majesty's, so you don't have to be so self-confident."

He Gu said: "Don't dare to work on your mother, I'm fine..."

Seeing this, the emperor also shook his head and smiled, "The empress is right... Gu'er is clearly dissolute by nature, but in front of me and the empress, she is always respectful."

"...Yu'er is a poor child, and cannot be married to me and the queen, but since you are her husband-in-law, you are also my and the queen's child. When you see me in the future, you don't need to pay any more respect."

He Gu heard that his breath was stagnant, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help crying in his heart. Although exempting any courtier from a big gift is indeed a great favor that the royal family can bestow, but he could not kneel just now, but now he has received such a big reward. En Rong, kneel or not?

Master He Xiaohou has one head and two big ones.

seems to have to kneel...

I can only secretly think in my heart, little ancestor, your father really has no choice but to kneel down, so you can save face, and father just kowtows, so don't make any troubles about your father.

So he was about to lift the hem of his clothes and kneel down to thank him, but suddenly the voice of the little internal officer came from outside, followed by a familiar voice.

"Father, my son heard that you woke up, is your body better?"

It turned out to be Pei Zhaolin who came.

In other words, it was Pei Zhaolin who came with Pei Zhaoheng.

One of the two brothers rushed forward in a hurry, the other walked behind silently with his sleeves on his sleeves, they were obviously born of the same father, but their temperaments were quite different, it was funny to watch.

Apart from Pei Zhaoheng, Concubine Wen Gui also came together.

Seeing that they were the ones who came, the emperor smiled a little bit. He sat down while leaning on the handle of the bench, and at the same time picked up the stems and leaves of the lily in the pot on the desk, and said, "I'm fine at first, but I'm a little tired, I only slept for a few more days, and with the empress personally accompanying me, it's fine."

Concubine Wen Gui bowed and said a word of peace, Your Majesty, then wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, sniffled her nose and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty has frightened all my concubines and Lin'er these few days. Well, fortunately, God has eyes, His Majesty has a body of ten thousand chariots, and his blessings are long..."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Okay, I know you have been worried these days, although your brother was careless this time, he didn't realize it, and he almost missed the matter, but that girl of your Wen family is a character, and women don't give in to men. Without saying hello to her father, she led [-] soldiers and immediately rescued her from Beijing. Later, Lin'er and Heng'er cleared up the rebels. She helped a lot. I will record this achievement for you Wen family, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future she."

Concubine Wen Gui knelt down and kowtowed immediately after hearing the words, and said: "On behalf of my niece, I would like to thank Your Majesty Long En."

The emperor gave a faint "hmm", and turned his gaze to He Gu who was beside him. Seeing that he was still embarrassed to kneel or not, he also guessed that he was probably too tired to kneel because of his injuries, so he said clearly: "Gu My son’s injury has not healed, since I promised you that you will be exempted from the big gift in the future, you don’t have to kneel down to thank you today.”

He Gu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and cupped his hands and said: "I have suffered from a shoulder injury, and my legs and feet are really inconvenient... Today, the imperial court lost its manners. I thank your majesty for your compassion and your majesty's kindness."

The emperor paused for a moment, looked at He Gu and said slowly: "This time the crown prince forced the palace, thanks to your keen awareness and loyalty to the lord, you have to mobilize troops to rescue him immediately regardless of the responsibility of the relationship. Today, not only I want to thank you, but everyone in the government hall also wants to thank you."

How could He Gu dare to ask him to thank him, and how could he dare to ask the ancestors in this house to thank him, but he knelt down and couldn't kneel, so he could only cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty is serious. It is a duty for a minister to serve the king wholeheartedly, and the minister has no edict." It is already a big taboo to transfer troops, and I haven't pleaded guilty with His Majesty yet."

The emperor put down the lily in his hand, and pondered: "It is indeed a big taboo to deploy troops without an order. I haven't dealt with the government these days, but I think the papers for impeaching you can be piled up to two feet high, Heng'er Read the papers for me these days, but have you seen the papers on the impeachment of the son-in-law?"

Hearing this, Pei Zhaoheng walked out from behind Pei Zhaolin, but his eyes did not stay on He Gu, he just saluted and lowered his eyes and replied: "Returning to the emperor's words, there are 56 papers for the impeachment of the son-in-law, and the son-in-law did not give a reply. It has been sorted out and left in the Yizheng Pavilion A cabinet."

The emperor paused, and said: "Okay, since that's the case, who wrote these papers, you go back and have a look and give them a reply. Return them one by one, and just say that I said it. Congratulations, you have done a great job in saving him. If he was transferred without a decree, he will be forgiven for his innocence, and it will not be an example, as for this matter, no one will need to mention it again in the future."

Pei Zhaoheng replied respectfully: "Yes, my son knows."

Pei Zhaolin watched from the side, consciously smacked something, he let out a hey, and said: "I don't know where these white-eyed wolves come from, but don't they come from Yingluan Palace? If it wasn't for my brother-in-law who brought people to Beijing Help, are they still alive? It’s only been two days, and they’re starting to chatter again, it’s really annoying.”

This time, before the emperor could speak, Concubine Wen Gui gave him a long-distance stare with resentment, and quickly said to the emperor with a smile, "Lin'er is a stubborn kid, and he doesn't know what to say. Don't be like him, Your Majesty." care about."

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Zhaolin, and said: "Salvation is rescue. The rules and regulations of the imperial court are the rules and regulations of the imperial court. If everyone is as lawless as you are, in the future, all generals will have no order to dispatch troops. Can you pay it back?" ?”

When Pei Zhaolin heard the words, he quickly shrank his head, only then did he realize that he had said something wrong again, and said in a low voice: "I... I also defend my brother-in-law. I said something wrong, and I am guilty."

The emperor shook his head and sighed, as if he had no idea what to do with the second son who was not enlightened.

However, He Gu heard a hint of implication. Although he wasn't very keen, it wasn't the first time that he dispatched troops without edict. With the lessons from his previous life, he naturally knew that such a thing would solve the emperor's urgent need. He had to let go of "let it go", but it was impossible for him to really not mind.

If you want to get rid of this knot, the best way is not to let the emperor bear the shame of being ungrateful and turning his face and denying people as soon as he was rescued, but to admit his mistakes obediently.

Only in this way can the monarch and his ministers get along with each other.

It's just that it's hard to say these words clearly, the emperor is also taking great pains to sing the oboe with the loyal king who doesn't know why, and wants to give advice. see you.

Fortunately, He Gu was so smart for a while, he bowed his head and said in a respectful voice: "I have no order to deploy troops. Although there are unavoidable difficulties, but looking at the country, there is no such thing as an old rule. If your majesty easily indulges without punishment, I am afraid that you will be punished in the future." It will make the soldiers in the army despise the military order and discipline, endangering the country, and I would like to ask myself to resign from the post of ranger general, return the soldiers and horses, and go home to contemplate behind closed doors."

The emperor pondered for a moment, his face softened a little, and he tapped lightly on the case with his ring finger, and said: "You are young, it is rare to have this kind of heart and know where your mistakes are. That's fine, I'll fine you half a year's salary, you go home and think about it for a while, so that you can take care of your wounds, return your soldiers and horses, and as for the position of Ranger General, you don't have to let go, you are still my love In the future, there will be other places to use your fists and feet to serve the court."

When He Gu heard this, he felt relieved, knowing that his self-invitation must have hit the Emperor's arms, so he said: "I accept the decree to thank you."

Now that the matter has been settled, He Gu has no burden in his heart. Although the Lanzheng Palace is peaceful, talking and laughing, he has no intention of staying here and listening to the Pei family come and go, and just watches from a distance. With one glance at Pei Zhaoheng, he was ready to find a way to oil his head and feet.

Unexpectedly, Empress Chen glanced at him from a distance, thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "I haven't seen Gu'er for a long time, I thought Gu'er was running around in the north, and went all the way to Beijing to rescue someone who was injured. Most likely I have to lose a few points, who would have thought that seeing you today...does you seem to have gotten a little fatter?"

The emperor was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and also turned his attention to He Gu, looked him up and down, nodded and said: "Is it fat, or Ah Rong is careful, if you don't tell me, I really didn't see it."

Seeing that there was finally a topic that was not so sensitive and serious and could be interrupted casually, Pei Zhaolin followed Da Lala and echoed: "It is indeed a bit rounder than when I saw my brother-in-law during the bow and horse meeting."

Although He Gu also knew that it was unbelievable for a man to be pregnant, and even if the emperor saw that he was fat, he probably wouldn't think in this direction, but he had a ghost in his heart, so of course he couldn't help secretly hating Pei Er, who listened to wind and rain for flattering. .

Apparently He Gu was not the only one who couldn't bear it anymore, the third highness glanced at the mindless second brother next to him, and said calmly: "If I remember correctly, the second brother stayed in Beijing to supervise the country at the horse bow meeting last year, how have you ever met brother-in-law?"

Pei Zhaolin choked up, and was a little bit unable to get off the stage, but an internal official said outside: "Prince Duo Muqi, Miss Wen, please see me."

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard the words.

Duo Muqi is the daughter-in-law appointed by the emperor to He Cheng. Naturally, He Gu is concerned about the situation of this girl in the palace, so after the death of King Khupeng Khan, even though he could not return to Beijing in the Northland, he sent a letter back to call Lan Xiao and the others helped He Cheng prepare some food and sent it to the palace for the girl, so as to comfort her when she was hit by the pain of losing her father at a young age.

Although Duo Muqi washed her face with tears for a while, fortunately, she is a child of the grassland after all, with an open-minded and cheerful temperament, and she is not a person who will blindly get into the horns. Success again and again, his brother Doge is safe and sound, the court not only helped the Qiurong tribe repel the invasion of the other two tribes, but also helped Dogge directly annex the two tribes in one fell swoop. The revenge was also avenged, and Duo Muqi gradually improved.

As for Wen Tianrou, she used to come to the palace to see her aunt, the noble concubine, and met Duo Muqi several times, the two girls hit it off immediately, and their temperaments were also similar, they hit it off very well.

It's not surprising that it's up now.

It's just that they don't know what the two of them are here to ask to see the emperor.

Empress Chen smiled and said, "Let the two of them come in."

The internal officer went out to pass the message, and it didn't take long for Duo Muqi, whose eyes were flickering, to have grown taller again, and a slim girl with clean eyebrows and a dashing appearance, dressed in light yellow dress, came in together, and the two knelt down together He kowtowed to the emperor and queen, and greeted Concubine Wen, King Zhong, King Ke, and the son-in-law one by one.

It's just that when I asked about He Gu, Wen Tianrou, the Miss Wen family who also had meritorious service in rescuing him, clearly had something wrong with her little eyes. With her appearance, how can my aunt Wen Guifei not know that this little girl has a heart for her son-in-law? Those little Jiujiu immediately clicked.

The emperor smiled and said: "Miss Wen, your aunt just invited me to invite you for credit. I was afraid that I would treat you badly and forget your achievements this time. You just came, why don't you tell me what reward you want? There's nothing I shouldn't."

Wen Tianrou was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, is there really nothing wrong with it?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and said: "What? Could it be that you want me to pick the stars in the sky for you? That is indeed a little difficult, and I will have a headache."

As soon as the emperor said this, he felt narrow, shook his head and laughed a little.

Since the emperor laughed, who in the Lanzheng Palace would dare not laugh?

The palace people went in without knowing it, and they all lowered their heads and laughed lightly. Master He Xiaohou went in without knowing it, and he also thought that this lady of the Wen family was very interesting, and laughed heartlessly. The cousin was arguing at home that she didn't want to get married, which made my uncle very troubled, but at the moment, he didn't think about it at all, just smiling like a fool.

Only Concubine Wen Gui, who knew her niece's thoughts well, couldn't laugh.

Oh, and there is also His Royal Highness Ke, whose face is as pale as frost, and the corners of his mouth are slightly sunken.

Wen Tianrou knelt down and buckled her head, and said: "I don't dare to ask for the stars in the sky, but I only want the stars in my heart. I implore Your Majesty to grant it!"

The emperor was startled, and said: "Oh...the star in your heart? I have always heard that Wen Qing loves the youngest daughter the most in the family, even the eldest son. I saw you today, and you are indeed an interesting little girl. It's okay, today You can speak to me boldly, if I agree, I will never refuse."

Wen Tianrou sniffed, exchanged a glance with Duo Muqi next to her, then suddenly raised her head to look at He Gu who was still smiling smirkingly, and said word by word——

"The little girl wants to marry the son-in-law as his wife, and be his successor...if it doesn't work...a concubine...a concubine is fine too!"

The ominous premonition in Concubine Wen's heart came true, her color changed in horror, and she said sharply: "Tianrou! Do you know what you are talking about?!"
