Fake concubine, real queen

Concubine Wen Gui's voice was really roaring with anger, which showed that she was really worried about Wen Tianrou, the little niece who was confused and dizzy in front of the emperor.

Although He Gu had never met this noble concubine face to face several times before, he also knew that His Majesty only had a little Empress Chen in his heart all these years. For example, her sister-in-law, the first empress Da Chen, did not end well, and although Concubine Wen Gui had a general who was leading the army and was well-respected, her good bargaining chip was also a dangerous bargaining chip. Over the years, she could Raising her heartless son, Pei Er, grew up smoothly in the palace without suffering much, and kept her elder brother away from her. Not only did she not have to worry about her, but she also had an extra backing in the palace.

All of these are enough to show that even though Concubine Wen Gui is just a slow-moving and quick-witted fool in the eyes of others, she is definitely not a fool in her heart.

Even her color changed, Wen Tianrou's words were not shocking, and she begged endlessly, thinking about it with her feet, she knew that she would never have only a few words with the elders in the family.

There was silence in the palace, but the atmosphere this time seemed somewhat awkward.

Concubine Wen Gui finished training Wen Tianrou, turned her eyes to look at the emperor again, knelt down with a puff and said with a bitter face: "This child Tianrou has always been spoiled by his elder brother at home and is lawless. Talking nonsense in front of me, I hope His Majesty will be merciful, don't care about her."

Then he said to He Gu: "It's just the girl talking nonsense, and the son-in-law must not take it seriously."

The expression on He Gu's face was still somewhat dull, he looked at Concubine Wen Gui, then at Wen Tianrou, and finally fell on Pei Zhaoheng who was already staring at him expressionlessly, this time there was a chill down his spine for no reason , barely shivering, hurriedly said: "Ah... this... I... I naturally know that Miss Wen was just joking..."

Before she finished speaking, Wen Tianrou became anxious, apparently she did not recognize the ladder her aunt built for her to get off the stage, and said anxiously: "I am not joking! Auntie, don't explain it for me, I didn't mean that , the words just now come from Tianrou's heart, but this is in front of His Majesty, how dare Tianrou say even half a lie?"

The emperor's face darkened, and he said: "Since you know you are in front of the imperial court, how dare you make such a nonsense request? If you want something else, that's all. He Gu is my son-in-law, although my eldest princess is not blessed... There is no fate I will stay with him until the end of my life, but back then my son-in-law had a deep love for Yuer, and I begged that I would never marry a wife again, so I let him go, but now even if you have taken a fancy to him, how can I ask him to marry you again?"

Wen Tianrou lowered his head and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Tianrou was the one who was abrupt, and Tianrou also knew about His Majesty's promise to the son-in-law, but Rong Tianrou said something offensive, and there has never been a man in the country who kept filial piety for his dead wife all his life." Things, even in the Tian family, the princess passed away, and I never heard of a son-in-law who would never marry a wife again."

"Naturally, Your Majesty is benevolent. The reason why there has never been such an old practice, but His Majesty still agrees to the prince's request, is because His Majesty is a benevolent king, sympathetic to the difficulties of his ministers, and feels sorry for the son-in-law's memory of the princess, so he will agree."

When she said this, although the emperor still didn't speak, his face softened a little.

"The son-in-law's heart for the eldest princess is as steadfast as a wild goose and bird. Everyone knows it, and my daughter naturally knows it too."

"It's just that although His Majesty has fulfilled the wishes of the son-in-law, but now the son-in-law is only a talent, but he has to keep his filial piety for the rest of his life... He doesn't have half a wife and concubines, and he has no children. After a hundred years like this, what will the situation be like around the son-in-law? Rou dared to have a face-to-face meeting with Her Highness the Princess in the corridor of the Forbidden Garden. Based on the daughter's understanding of Her Highness, if she was under the nine springs, if she knew that the son-in-law would die so lonely for her, with His Highness's pure and kind Xinxing, must also be unbearable..."

The emperor was silent for a while, and said: "You are an official family member, and you are the daughter of Wen Xiuming. Even if you are not as good at poetry, books, literature and ink as other ladies of the family, you should be knowledgeable and able to discern things clearly."

"...I am the Son of Heaven. Once the Son of Heaven speaks a word, it is hard to chase after him. Since I have already promised my son-in-law, it is impossible for me to agree to you today. Otherwise, who will believe my words in the future?"

Wen Tianrou became anxious when she heard the words, and raised her buried head abruptly, and said earnestly: "But... but the son-in-law is only at the request of His Majesty He, and never marry a wife again in this life... If that's the case, if that's the case... Is it okay for the little girl to be his concubine? To be his concubine is not considered a wife, right?"

Concubine Wen Gui couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped forward and pulled her sleeves violently, while looking at the emperor with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this child's nonsense..."

Wen Tianrou didn't buy it.

She glanced at He Gu from a distance, but she saw that He Gu was looking at her with a dazed expression, obviously he was also unexpected about what happened today.

Wen Tianrou looked at his eyes, her eyes were inexplicably red, she turned her head all of a sudden, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, sniffing, although she didn't speak anymore, the meaning was very clear——

This girl is on the tip of her horn, and after eating the weight, she is determined to pick the "star" she has been longing for.

Only this time, the hall was silent, the emperor did not answer with a sullen face, he didn't know what he was measuring, although the "star" He Xiaohou had finally come to his senses, but in the past two lifetimes, he was also It was the first time he encountered such a thing, and with so many people present, he didn't know whether he should speak or what to say—

It is true that Wen Tianrou is a beautiful girl, she is different from all the women He Gu has come into contact with in her two lifetimes.

Her father, Wen Xiuming, was outside the capital, and for some reason he was unable to notice the changes in the capital, but she had the courage, determination, and method to go out of the city to rescue soldiers, even though the rescue arrived a bit late, But it is not easy for a teenage girl to lead [-] soldiers to attack hundreds of miles.

She is not a dodder-like woman like Wan Shu'er that Master He Xiaohou has seen before, no matter what she looks like on the inside, but she must be weak on the outside to win the affection of men. Wen Tianrou is special, this girl The breath is just like He Gu's impression of his late mother, Miss Yan, in his memory.

Heroic, hearty, daring to love and hate, regardless of personal safety.

If it had been two years earlier and asked He Gu what kind of woman he liked, the answer he would have given would probably be like this.

But what about now?

If you want to ask what kind of woman he likes——

He Gu's mind went blank for a moment.

He originally thought that what he thought of seemed to be the "Sister Yu'er" who had disappeared in thin air... dressed in red, covered with a tulle face, and looked at Qingcheng, who once haunted him in his dreams and missed him, but at this moment, He Gucai Suddenly, he found that what came to his mind was not the "eldest princess" who he thought he would never let go of for the rest of his life...

It was when he was recovering from his injuries, he was half naked and half asleep in the Qingyu Palace bedroom, and he could vaguely see something vague... Pei Zhaoheng sat against the light by the bed, lowered his eyes and said nothing, silently gently stroking his loose forehead hair look like.

It was strange to say that he was lying on the bed at that time, and His Highness the Third was sitting in front of the bed. The two of them were clearly only a short distance away, but for some reason, He Gu suddenly felt that he was far away from this person.

He Gu looked a little dazed, it was clearly not the time to be in a trance, but this scene was inexplicably lingering in his mind, making him feel depressed for no reason.

It was only at this moment that He Gu realized that the old image of "Eldest Princess" had long been blurred in his mind, and even though he was as slow as him, even if there was only the slightest bit of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in the person in his heart, he could silently occupy it. All his consciousness can easily affect his judgment and emotions.

He Xiaohou is full of thoughts and thoughts, but he doesn't know that his wandering and absent-minded appearance, in Pei Zhaoheng's eyes, has changed.

At this moment, everyone in the palace focused on the two aunts and nephews of the Wen family and the three of His Majesty, but no one noticed that King Ke's gaze was on He Gu from the beginning to the end, and he never moved away.

Pei Zhaoheng didn't see anything unusual on his face, but after looking at He Gu from a distance for a while, the five fingers under his sleeves still tightened slowly.

He closed his eyes.

In the past, as long as he closed his eyes like this, he could isolate the hustle and bustle around him, making these voices seem to come from another time and space, without disturbing his thoughts in the slightest.

...But today, for some unknown reason, this meticulous technique, which has been tried and tested, failed for the first time.

It's useless.

He Gu's dazed and unbelievable expression when he looked at Wen Tianrou was all in his mind.

... What is Zihuan thinking?

...Has he finally come back to his senses?

... He was supposed to live a stable and happy life, with a wife and son, and someone in love.

Zihuan's temperament, when viewed by others, only knows that he is strong on the outside, but not soft on the inside. If a person like him can marry a good woman he likes, he must be loyal and kind to his wife all his life. Cherish your family.

Even though Zihuan and himself are now taking another path, no matter how far they go on this path, no matter how worried he is about gains and losses, and he doesn't want Zihuan to find out, he has another path to take...

The road that He Gu didn't take will not disappear because of Pei Zhaoheng's will. As long as He Gu himself is stopped by someone one day, and he turns his head, he can find that he can turn back at any time and walk back to the road. The road that "normal people" should take.

In this life, if it weren't for the calculations of the heavenly family...if it wasn't for this man-made "coincidence"...

Zihuan shouldn't be in today's situation.

It is not the first time that these secret and dark thoughts have been quietly hidden in Pei Zhaoheng's heart. He thought that he could gradually relieve himself and silence these thoughts, but now he finds out...

He still couldn't do it.

It is true that Zihuan has personally said that he likes him more than once, and he is not a person who is ashamed to express his love, but because of his life and death, he has endured troubles and tortures that men should not have to endure.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that he shouldn't worry about gains and losses anymore.

But if you really want to ask him, does Zihuan really have him in his heart?

In other words, the person in Zihuan's heart, the person he fell in love with at first sight, went through life and death, took his life, and died without regrets, is he?

Pei Zhaoheng couldn't lie to himself with peace of mind, and said the word "yes" that was an understatement.

Whether it was the third prince who had forgotten everything before, or Pei Zhaoheng who had recovered the memory of his two lifetimes, neither could deceive himself or others to say the word "yes".

Even if others don't know, I can't continue to deceive myself.

The memories of the two lives are vast, and the previous life was considered a narrow escape, but even these thrilling memories could not make him calm down. On the contrary, when he closed his eyes, what appeared in his mind was He Gu smiling and putting Lingyu in the In his hands, the scene where his figure was blown away by the wind like dissipating mist.

At that time, it was clear that he was sitting in the world, but he still felt helpless to this person's departure. It seemed to be engraved in his bone marrow. Any similar scenes, actions, or "dreams" with He Gudao Everywhere, it can easily remind him of this almost lingering nightmare.

... And then I wanted to hold this person tightly in my hand even more.

Both Pei He and Pei He had their own thoughts, and no one in the palace of government realized it.

The emperor was silent for a long time, apparently he was helpless with Wen Tianrou, this little girl who had done meritorious service could not be beaten or scolded, and she was the apple of the eye of general Wen Xiuming, and she couldn't be wronged.

Even though she said so many ridiculous things in front of so many people, the emperor could only sigh helplessly, and said: "Okay, okay, it's useless for you to tell me about this, if you really want to I got it clear, so I went back and persuaded your father, and asked him to come and tell me for you in person, marriage is a matter of human relations, the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker, how can you let a little girl like you say that you can decide for yourself? , let’s go back.”

Wen Tianrou's expression was obviously a bit disappointed when he heard the words, and he was silent for a while before whispering: "But... Father doesn't agree..."

The emperor took the teacup Wang Zhonglu handed over, picked it up, took a sip, and said slowly: "That's it, you can't even explain your father, but you want to come and beg me, how can there be such a reason?"

Wen Tianrou bit her lips, and finally said in a low voice: "Then...well, if I convince Daddy, Your Majesty..."

The emperor put down the teacup with a "snap" and interrupted: "I didn't promise you anything, I just said, you go and talk to your father first, if he really agrees, then ask him to come to see me, then you I'll think about what to do with He Gu."

Wen Tianrou seemed relieved, it seemed that she was finally willing to give up.

He Gu changed his color.

What is "I will consider the matter between you and He Gu"?

Don't think about it, Your Majesty!

He Gu arched his hands and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, how can this be done? This is absolutely impossible! I have already sworn a poisonous oath with Your Majesty, the king, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth, and will never marry another woman in this life. , The family is precious, how can you be my concubine..."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "I know it all, I will consider it myself, and none of you should mention this matter."

He Gu choked up, and had no choice but to give up before finishing his sentence.

The emperor said: "A room full of people have come, and after a long time of trouble, I've only been two days old, and I'm tired, and it's getting late, so you all go back."

When everyone heard the words, they naturally responded respectfully. Those who should kowtow and those who should salute quietly exited the Lanzheng Hall.

Although He Gu was a little confused, but he didn't dare to confront the emperor, so he turned around and followed the little inner officer who led the way out of the palace.

Only the empress and the palace people were left in the palace of government.

There is also a King Ke who has never moved from beginning to end.

Everyone else left, but King Ke stood there without moving. The palace officials didn't dare to urge him when they saw him. Since the emperor didn't speak, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if they didn't see him.

This young son, who is always silent but has always obeyed his father's orders, showed something unusual for the first time. The emperor didn't show much surprise. He just glanced at him and eased his expression. In a soft voice, she said to Empress Chen next to her: "A Rong, you have been with me for so many days without sleep, should you be tired? I asked Nanny Li and Wu Dehuai to accompany you and go back to Zhiyang Palace to rest? Or It's good to go to the side hall for a short rest, what do you think?"

Empress Chen looked at her son who was still standing there, and then at him. For some reason, she seemed hesitant to speak, but she hesitated for a long time, but she still didn't say anything more, but she was slightly worried. Nodding his head, he said in a low voice: "Okay, Your Majesty, Heng'er..."

The emperor just shook her hand without answering.

Empress Chen had no choice but to leave.

Only the emperor and King Ke and his son were left in the main hall. Wang Zhonglu had a very wink, and he immediately understood when he saw the emperor raised his eyelids. .

This time, there were really only father and son left.

Pei Zhaoheng lowered his eyes, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down, kowtowed, and his movements were regular and slow.

Over the past few days, the sense of tearing caused by memory fusion has gradually disappeared, and he has gradually gotten used to sitting on the throne and accepting the kneeling of his servants and servants, returning to the time when he was a teenager who still needed to listen to his father's teachings.

He didn't feel that this gap made people feel disappointed, probably in the final analysis, it was because, after holding this power in his hands for too long, it didn't seem so crazy.

And what he cared about was never this chair.

The emperor sat upright and looked at him from a distance, with no expression of joy or anger, he just said: "Heng'er, do you have something to say to me?"

After finishing the salute, Pei Zhaoheng raised his head and remained silent for a while, then said: "The errands ordered by the emperor have been completed by my son."

The emperor was startled, it seemed that what Pei Zhaoheng said was not what he expected.

"Oh... it's Meng's matter... that's why you stayed alone and reported to me? If that's the case, what happened to Meng's?"

Pei Zhaoheng said: "Princess Concubine is in good health and everything is fine. My ministers have taken her back to the capital, and placed her in the south of the city according to the emperor's instructions. She has not been brought back to the palace, and no one has noticed her whereabouts."

The emperor closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Then is the baby in her womb okay? Have you asked the doctor to see it?"

Pei Zhaoheng said: "I've seen it, the doctor said that the fetus is stable and the crown princess is full of energy and blood."

The emperor let out a "hmm" in a casual manner this time, and said, "Okay, these days, you should continue to watch over her daily life."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "There is one more thing. The elder brother asked Li Tong to lead the conversation again and again, saying that he wanted to see the crown princess."

The emperor raised his index finger and rubbed it on the brow bone for a while, and said: "There is no need to talk to him, and there is no need to bring Mrs. Meng to see him, just let Li Qiushan do what he should do, and what else should he do."

Pei Zhaoheng answered "Yes", stood up, brushed off his robe, and said, "Father rest in peace, and the minister there will take his leave first."

But the emperor said: "Stop."

Pei Zhaoheng stopped in his tracks.

The emperor said: "What you want to tell me is not what you just said."

Pei Zhaoheng lowered his eyes and said: "Father Huang Shengming, my son did have other thoughts just now."

The emperor stared at his son's face, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking. However, what he valued most about this youngest son was his calmness and non-existence. At this moment, this trait Instead, it became a barrier for the emperor to try to spy on his thoughts.

Perhaps human nature is like this, the more this is the case, the more the emperor is interested in his ideas, and he is convinced of his own guesses.

"Let me guess... Are you going to intercede for He Gu? You can see that I intend to agree to the little girl of the Wen family, so I can't bear to watch me force He Gu to marry Miss Wen's, right?"

Pei Zhaoheng said: "Father is wise, and my son-in-law really thinks that the son-in-law marries Miss Wen as his successor, and for both of them, they are not a good match for each other."

But the emperor shook his head and said: "...This is why Heng'er doesn't understand my difficulties, and I have my own considerations."

Pei Zhaoheng paused, didn't raise his head, but lowered his eyes and said: "My father's painstaking care for my son, I know all about it, and I am grateful for it, but I just feel that Zihuan's life is already broken because of my son. He is already determined enough, this son-in-law knows that the emperor intends for son-in-law to use him in the future, and since this is the case, son-in-law feels that this marriage should not be forced to accept him."

The emperor still shook his head, and said: "It's not a bad thing for you to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, but you shouldn't mess up your decision because of him. It was indeed my fault that I missed his marriage before, but at that time I had no other way to do it." He had no choice but to make such a bad plan, and he agreed if he didn't want to marry me again, but now that the girl from the Wen family has such thoughts, if they can get married, and I won't be here in the future, he can help you hold Wen's house, What's wrong with this marriage?"

"If it was someone else, I might still be worried that I would collude with the Wen family in the future, leaving you with trouble and raising tigers, but He Gu... I have been watching it for the past two years, and now I am sure that I am right. He, he treats you... He has the loyalty of a monarch and his ministers, the sincerity of a friend, and he is a pure-hearted minister who is dedicated to the Lord. There is no other person who is more suitable than him to hold the Wen family for you. It's a godsend, do you understand?"

The emperor sighed as he spoke, and said: "Your second brother is a careless person. The Wen family is still useful now and cannot be removed, but if the Wen family is kept, he will inevitably be confused and not know the importance. Doing stupid things, Wen Xiuming loves his daughter like his life, and having He Gu help you pinch Wen's family is a good thing for you and your second brother, do you understand?"

Pei Zhaoheng only shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "I understand the father's painstaking efforts, but I think that if it is only for this reason, it is not the only way for the He and Wen families to get married. Although the overall situation is serious, I think that, It's not that the only way to find a solution is to be tied to Miss Wen's marriage alone, and I don't want to threaten Wen's family with this, nor do I want to coerce with my son-in-law."

The more the emperor listened, the faster his face darkened, and in the end he could almost drip water, his face remained expressionless, his chest heaved twice, and suddenly he waved the teacup on the table and smashed it to pieces. Said coldly: "I have been too lenient towards you, so that you can't tell the difference between the serious and the serious, disregarding the overall situation, and only care about the small affection of friends, but you don't have the great love of a king in your heart."

"Go out, don't talk anymore, I'm going to rest!"

Pei Zhaoheng stood up, lowered his eyes and bowed his hands, saying: "Your servant will leave."

The emperor saw that he didn't get in, and seemed to have no reaction to his own anger, so he became even more angry, looked at his son's back and raised his voice and added: "Go back and do your errands for me. Introspect carefully, and carefully ponder what stupid things you said today!"

"Even if your elder brother is disobedient, don't think that I have only one son!"

While stepping out from the threshold of the palace gate of the Lanzheng Palace, Pei Zhaoheng listened to the voice of the father-in-law from inside.

The palace people outside all screamed and shrank their necks in fright, without him, His Majesty was restrained, it was rare for him to scold people in front of the palace people without regard for dignity.

And the one who was reprimanded was His Royal Highness King Ke, which is even more strange.

As soon as Pei Zhaoheng came out, he saw Wang Ting and Mr. Wang who had been waiting outside at the entrance of the hall.

Wang Tinghe obviously also heard the emperor's fury in the room just now, met Pei Zhaoheng's eyes, looked a little helpless, shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is a smart man... I don't want to make His Majesty angry, this Why bother?"

Pei Zhaoheng nodded slightly at him as a courtesy, but he didn't answer his question, he just said: "Father is still angry, Mr. Wang can wait for a while before calling someone to pass it on."

Wang Tinghe looked at Wang Zhonglu who was running towards the gate of the palace with Zhai'er, and then turned his gaze back to Pei Zhaoheng, and said, "Your Majesty is really angry...it's the time now, the prince just needs to move a little bit." Concession, the sea and the sky will be brighter in the future, why fight for a moment? A gentleman will not let it go..."

His voice was so low that no one else could hear a word except Pei Zhaoheng who was standing opposite him. , if everything in this world can be compromised for a little fire in the eyes of others, and flowers blooming, life would be meaningless.”

Pei Zhaoheng finally raised his eyes to look at Mr. Wang who was staring at him in a daze, and smiled faintly: "A gentleman will not give in."

"Old Wang, take your leave."

Then he turned around and left Shi Shiran.

Wang Tinghe stared at the moment when he was leaving, he was a little stunned, and it took him a long time to recall, and murmured: "It's no wonder that His Royal Highness is in His Majesty's heart, and lost to him..."

-----------------------

Knowing that He Gu was coming back, Lan Xiao deliberately went back to the Princess Mansion from Wensheng Bookstore, and took the servants up and down to clean up and tidy up. When He Gu arrived at the mansion, the bedroom was already burning with warm charcoal fire.

In fact, He Gu had something on his mind, and it wasn't easy to fall asleep, but he was really tired, and his body was still heavy. Lan Xiao made the bed too soft and comfortable. He didn't even have a chance to think, almost as soon as the back of his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep unconsciously.

He didn't know how long he slept in a daze, but he heard someone talking outside the house, he didn't wake up, he just wrinkled his nose, and then he slept for an unknown amount of time, and finally he was warmed by the crackling charcoal fire in the house After waking up, He Gu tried his best to open half of his eyelids, and kicked half of the quilt away.

The lights in the bedroom had already been extinguished, presumably after he fell asleep, someone came in to see them before they were extinguished, leaving only a floating lamp in front of the window sill, with a warm yellow flame dancing through the wax paper.

He Gu kicked his feet, but still felt hot, so he wanted to get out of bed and open the window lattice for some air.

Who would have thought that as soon as he lifted the window lattice, he saw a familiar figure outside under the willow tree.

He Xiaohou suddenly woke up from his drowsiness, hiccupped for a moment, looked at the blurry figure in the night from a distance, swallowed, and whispered: "Third...Third Highness? What are you doing?" At this?"

The tall and tall figure under the willow tree really moved, as if looking up at him.

He Gu only looked at the man's movements, and immediately confirmed that there was no one else except Pei Zhaoheng, but it was such a cold day, and it was midnight, why was he standing under his window?

When did he come again?

Why didn't the servants make a sound?

He Gu said: "You should agree!"

Pei Zhaoheng still didn't move, but walked a few minutes closer to the window lattice. This time, He Gu saw clearly his handsome face with his nose red from freezing in the snowy night by the light of the floating lamp in the room, and immediately felt distressed: "You It’s not cold! Come in, what are you doing here?”

Pei Zhaoheng stood under the window and stared at him for a while, and after two breaths, he still came into the room.

He didn't approach him once he came in, He Gu could feel a chill wrapped around his body after a long distance, he knew that he was already very heavy, but he still couldn't help but take the initiative to move closer to him.

As for the coldness on Pei Zhaoheng's body, he completely ignored it.

But Pei Zhaoheng took a step back, withdrew his left hand that was about to be held by He Gu, and said, "I'm cold."

He Gu didn't bother to talk to him, this time he grabbed his right hand before he had time to hide, raised his eyebrows and said, "I knew you were going to hide from that one, so why not call me here, or ask me to catch this one?" only?"

Pei Zhaoheng was slightly taken aback, and finally couldn't hold back a bit of hesitation on his expressionless face. He looked down at him and said softly, "...don't freeze you and the child."

He Gu lowered his head and sighed at his cold hands, rubbed his head up to look at him, shook his head and said, "You need to worry about this, we are fine, it's really hard, but you, who don't sleep in the middle of the night, Why did you come to the princess mansion, and didn't ask the servants to tell me."

Feeling the warmth he brought, Pei Zhaoheng's tone involuntarily softened a little bit, and finally became so soft that for a moment, he looked at He Gu's drooping eyelashes, and almost couldn't help but bow his head and kiss him up.

But he still held back.

"... Lan Xiao said you had a rest, so she didn't wake you up again, why didn't you wake up?"

He Gu said: "The fire is burning hot, so I want to open the windows to breathe in when it's hot."

Pei Zhaoheng frowned and said, "It's best to avoid being cold in winter, you still have body."

He Gu glared at him and said, "You still have the nerve to tell me how long the north wind has been blowing outside? Why don't you think it's cold?"

Pei Zhaoheng was speechless for a moment, so he could only lower his eyes and watch him be silent.

Seeing him like this, He Gu regretted it again, felt that he shouldn't be harsh on him, coughed dryly and said: "Today I see that you stayed here and you seem to have something to say to His Majesty, what exactly is it?"

Pei Zhaoheng paused, and said: "It's nothing, but my father has some errands for me, and I have to leave Beijing for two or three days, and I will be back soon."

He Gu said: "When are you leaving?"

Pei Zhaoheng said, "Leave at dawn."

He Gu let out an "ah" and said, "It's so soon... I still want to talk to you, so you have to come back quickly."

Pei Zhaoheng looked at him, nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely come back to see Zihuan soon."

He said again: "There is still half an hour before dawn, if Zihuan is not sleepy, I will stay here with you."

He Gu said: "Now that you know how to accompany me, you didn't come in just now, just stuck around under the tree like a ghost."

Pei Zhaoheng laughed, and was about to say that he was narrow-minded, but He Gu suddenly said: "I thought about it, no matter if this child is a boy or a girl, the baby name is Shuangshuang, okay?"

Pei Zhaoheng was startled, and said, "Shuangshuang?"

When He Gu looked at him this time, his eyes were good for a moment, so hot that people hardly dared to look at him.

Pei Zhaoheng didn't avoid it, but met his gaze and asked in a low voice: "...why?"

He Gu touched his nose, as if he was a little embarrassed, but he still replied: "It's nothing, it's just... His two fathers will always be together in pairs, which means it's a bit dirty, but I just like it. "

Pei Zhaoheng pondered for a moment, then said: "This is the child's baby name, but the meaning is your business, isn't it a bit bad?"

He Gu hummed: "I'm its father, I'll be fine if I agree."

Pei Zhaoheng was amused by him again, shook his head slightly, and said, "Okay, Zihuan just agrees, what about the name?"

He Gu said: "Don't be in a hurry, let me think about it slowly these days, but there is something I haven't talked to you about, now is the time to discuss it."

Pei Zhaoheng said, "Huh?"

He Gudao: "This child... I want to give him a legitimate identity. Right now, it is impossible to tell Your Majesty that we are two men, but we can have a child. I just thought, why not let him into our He family? The genealogy of ... is that okay?"

Pei Zhaoheng said: "How does Zihuan want to give him a legitimate identity?"

He Gu said: "So... the child was born later, I went to see His Majesty, and said... This is the child left by me when I was in Yangxi after drinking and having sex. The child's mother died because of dystocia. Your Majesty is kind, Surely you won't blame me."

Pei Zhaoheng looked at him without saying a word, but his eyes were a little dark.

With him like this, He Gu panicked for no reason: "What do you think Your Highness... you should say something!"

Pei Zhaoheng shook his head and said, "Is this justified?"

He Gu said: "Isn't that justifiable enough?"

Pei Zhaoheng said: "In the future, others will say that his birth mother is humble, wouldn't it be aggrieved to gossip?"

"Besides, it's fine for the child and Zihuan to fall into the He family's genealogy. Why is it that the king has clearly contributed, but in the end he only ends up with a 'drunken sex'...?"

he whispered.

He Gu was a little embarrassed: "It's not you who are talking about 'drunken sex'..."

Pei Zhaoheng nodded, "Oh", and said: "Then I also contributed, but in the end, I didn't even get a 'drunk sex', and it has nothing to do with the child?"

In fact, Pei Zhaoheng didn't care about this in his heart.

It might make Zihuan so red-faced, but it is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The bad roots in his bones that have always been hidden from others have finally been unstoppable and exposed.

He Gu was really anxious this time, and stared and said: "Then...then what else can I do, I can't say that the child was born by me and His Highness, right? I am a man, it really makes people know, my son-in-law is still Do you want to be a human again?"

Hearing this, Pei Zhaoheng couldn't help but couldn't stop laughing lowly, He Gu was hated and ashamed by his laughter, and almost couldn't hold back to bite him.

Finally, Pei Zhaoheng said: "There is a really legitimate way."

He Gu was very suspicious: "...what?"

Anyway, he really couldn't think of any more suitable way.

After baking for a while, all the cold air on Pei Zhaoheng's body dissipated, so he took off the black cloak outside, hung it on the shelf, and stepped up to sit on the imperial concubine's couch under the window.

This imperial concubine couch has a deep connection with the two of them. When they got married, "Sister Yu'er" took a nap on it, and He Gu lay down in front of this beauty couch and raised his hand to secretly touch her lips.

He Gu's memory recovered once in a while, and he immediately remembered what happened at that time, his face became more and more uneasy, and he was about to ask Pei Zhaoheng what to do, but he patted his thigh, raised his eyes and said to himself: "Come on!" here."

He Gu felt a little ominous, but it was weird as if he was controlled by Pei Zhaoheng's words, his back stiffened for a moment, and he walked over as he said.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "Sit here."

He Gu looked down, startled, and said, "Huh? Sit... on your lap? But I'm very heavy now, I'm afraid you won't feel well..."

However, Pei Zhaoheng was very persistent, looking at him motionless, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

He Gu had no choice but to suppress his embarrassment and sit down.

As soon as he sat down, the distance between the two of them instantly shortened a lot. He Gu felt that he could hear Pei Zhaoheng's breathing very clearly.
