Fake concubine, real queen

As soon as He Gu's words came out, he found that the three of them, the eldest princess and Lan Shu and Lan Xiao, looked at him with subtle expressions, and their hearts suddenly jumped.

... This word has been written 27 times. If he still can't figure out the way, it is indeed a bit suspicious.

Right now, it was obvious that he couldn't be fooled anymore, so He Gu could only cough dryly, and hurriedly said, "Uh...it's not that I don't understand at all, or I...I'll practice again later, after ten days and a half months, I should I can also write very close to each other."

He Gusheng's sword-brows and star-eyed eyes are majestic, even at this moment, he is clearly speaking nonsense with his eyes open, yet he can appear extremely sincere.

When Pei Zhaoheng saw his expression, the doubt that had arisen in his heart just now dissipated.

I just thought that each person has their specialties, Zihuan is good at bow and horse martial arts, and together with poetry, calligraphy, writing and ink, it is not surprising that his comprehension is a little weaker.

And Zihuan's youthful disposition is upright and open, so he will definitely not bully him.

If he said he learned it, then he should have really learned it.

Pei Zhaoheng originally thought that he was the one who harmed He Gu Qiancheng, and that He Gu just wanted to learn how to write a few words at the moment. Come again, it is indeed a bit troublesome.

But when he thought about it carefully, compared with the fact that he caused He Gu to lose his future, what is the point of this little trouble for him right now?

As long as the son-in-law is willing to learn, he will be patient and teach him.

Thinking of this, he nodded his head and said: "Since you understand it, it is naturally the best. After you go back, you must practice hard. When it comes to learning calligraphy, you should avoid laziness. I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the whole book "Preface to Jiang" today." ", I will take you and write the first twenty characters."

"If you still want to learn, you can come to me after you have eaten every day, and let's read this post carefully."

He Gu was stunned immediately when he heard the words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears and he heard it wrong.

gosh...

It's probably just the feeling of a big pie falling from the sky and hitting the head of a starving ghost!

His sister Yu'er is indeed the most gentle, considerate, patient, and understanding woman in the world. After working hard for a long time, not only did she not annoy him, she didn't think he was stupid, and she even planned to teach him Finish writing the entire "Preface to Jiang"!

"Preface to the River" has more than 380 characters, twenty in a day, wouldn't it be possible to write him in ten or twenty days?

Does this mean that for the next half a month, he will be able to hang out with Sister Yu'er every day?

Master He Xiaohou almost didn't laugh out loud on the spot. Fortunately, he was scrupulous after all. Standing in front of the eldest princess at this moment, he was somewhat burdened.

He Gu only pretended to be serious, with a deep expression on his face, and said again and again: "I know, it will definitely be a good practice, but it's just hard work, sister Yu'er, to teach me every day."

The eldest princess brought back the veil for some reason today, and hearing what he said, the eyes that were usually cold and indifferent seemed to soften a little bit.

The eldest princess said: "It's okay, what's the hard work? Although you will no longer be an official in the court, but now you are still young, it is a good thing that you are willing to practice calligraphy. It can cultivate your sentiments and sharpen your mind, but it is not good. Taking the imperial examination can also benefit a lot from it.”

Naturally, He Gu nodded again and again, echoing in a series of voices, and almost shouted that his sister is wise.

He thought happily in his heart, sister Yu'er was always thinking about him, thinking about it, even if she hadn't fallen in love with him yet, she certainly didn't hate him in her heart.

As long as he can seize the opportunity, step by step, let her see his own benefits...

Holding hands or something... Will it be far?

Holding hands... Will a kiss be far away?

After kissing... Will the consummation be far away?

If it is possible to consummate the house... hugging the two for three years, wouldn't it be close at hand!

Master He Xiaohou suddenly felt that the road ahead suddenly became brighter!

The more I thought about it, the happier I was, and the eyes became brighter when I looked at the eldest princess.

Although He Gu's appearance is sharp-edged, heroic, and without a hint of femininity, he is still a 16-year-old boy at the moment, and there are still some baby fat on his cheeks that have not completely disappeared. The unique sense of bluntness makes him seem childish. At this moment, his eyes are as bright as lacquer, and it seems that in the dark night, the two bright spots are shining like stars.

... It's no wonder that all the ladies in the official family in Beijing are thinking about him one by one, thinking of being the future Mrs. Marquis of Changyang. Who can be completely unmoved by such a pair of eyes, who are staring at him wholeheartedly and for a moment?

Although Pei Zhaoheng is a man, he is not exempt from customs.

His heart skipped a beat, his gaze seemed to be scalded, he quickly moved away from He Gu's face, and only whispered: "...let's continue writing."

He Gu nodded quickly, took up his pen again and began to write the "Preface to Jiang". This time he got sister Yu'er's promise that he would personally teach him to write this post, so he became a little more serious.

Although it is a beautiful thing to pretend to be stupid and let Sister Yu'er take him to write and write about his age, but he thought about it just now, and he couldn't act too stupid, after all, how talented is Sister Yu'er?

If she finds that her husband is too dull, how can she not despise him?

The weather at the end of June was very hot and dry, but the study in the Princess Mansion was very cool. Before the desk, the two of them, Pei and He, actually spent the whole morning posting like this.

It was almost noon when he finished writing twenty characters. He Gu wrote seriously. It was the first time that he didn't find calligraphy practice boring. He even wanted to write for a while.

But the eldest princess refused to let him write, and told him earnestly and earnestly, that everything should be done in moderation, and you can't chew too much. You have worked hard today, so you don't need to write any more. It would be bad if you write too much, so He Gu could only resent He asked the servants to collect the pen and ink.

It happened that the people in the kitchen came to say that lunch was ready, so the two went to the dining hall to have lunch.

Maybe it was because they slept together in the same bed last night, and today they got so close together again, and wrote all morning, He Gu vaguely felt that the eldest princess treated him a little differently than before, although he couldn't tell the specific reason. What is different.

But the relationship between the two of them is indeed much closer than the friendship between classmates when they were not married, and they were in the Zong Xuetang.

Sure enough, during lunch, the eldest princess took the initiative to talk to He Gu, and asked him: "Since your parents and siblings have never moved to the princess mansion, do you want to pick a day, and I will accompany you back to the Hou's mansion and see the old man?" Master and Madam Hou?"

What Pei Zhaoheng said actually meant a lot.

He had gotten the news before that He Gu's biological mother, the former Mrs. Marquis of Changyang, seemed to have passed away early, and the latter Mrs. Hou was the step-wife who took a concubine as his wife. It was this step-wife who handed He Gu's birth date and portrait to her. In the mother's harem.

Empress Chen had a pure personality, and when she received such a portrait of a good boy, she only cared about whether it was suitable for her daughter, and never thought too much about it.

But after all, Pei Zhaoheng, as a princess, has lived in Qingyu Palace for many years. In this harem, he knows more about the secret means among women than ordinary men. Over the years, the queen has always ignored things. If he hadn't been taking care of her, Zhiyang Palace can't be so calm and safe all the time.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that this stepmother was not He Gu's biological mother, he immediately guessed the reason why He Gu's birth date was handed into the palace.

And later, he sent someone to investigate in private, and he really made a good guess.

Pei Zhaoheng told the queen about it, and the queen was really displeased.

Although Empress Chen wanted to choose a good husband for her daughter, it didn't mean that she was willing to let others take advantage of her daughter-loving heart to do some dirty and inhumane scandals.

Only then did the emperor report to the emperor that the Marquis of Changyang stay in the old mansion without having to move again.

If it's just that, it's fine, a few days ago, Pei Zhaoheng actually got the news that a steward of Changyang Marquis Mansion was sent to Bianjing Mansion, and he was charged with embezzling the dowry money of Lord Marquis and his wife.

The Changyang Hou father and son had been guarding Chenghe County until March this year, and had never been in the capital. Naturally, only He Gu's stepmother was in charge of the Jingzhong Hou's mansion. How could such a small steward have the courage to do such a thing?

If it is said that he did not get the instruction from the wife of the master in the mansion, only a fool would believe it.

Now the steward has been sent to the official position, but he has never heard any news from Mrs. Changyanghou. It must be that He Gu's father, Changyanghou, wanted to protect her, so he was pushed down and did not send her to the official post.

As long as Pei Zhaoheng thinks about it carefully, he can probably guess that when this step-wife was in charge of the family, He Gu was still a baby, so he definitely had no power to resist. Can you give it back to his brother and sister, and how much?

Since Pei Zhaoheng has regarded He Guru as his own brother in his heart, he will not watch others bully him. He has secretly made up his mind to take care of this matter.

He could guess that with such an open mind, He Gu would definitely disdain to fight with the women in the back house, but the more this is the case, the more some people will push their noses.

Otherwise, as the old saying goes, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden by others?

After all, Pei Zhaoheng is still He Gu's newlywed wife at this moment, so it's not easy to directly say that he has already checked the bottom of He Gu's family, that's why he asked him so tactfully and obliquely if he wants to go back.

In this way, He Gu can be given a chance to take the initiative to tell him about the affairs of his family. If he wants to take care of it, he will be famous as a teacher. If He Gu can take the initiative to ask him for help, it will be even better. up.

Sure enough, when He Gu heard the words, the smile on his face instantly faded by three points. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the rice in the bowl, and after a long time he said in a low voice: "No need, see what they are doing."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "After all, it's your parents. If you and I get married and don't even come back to the door, although no one dares to talk about me, you will inevitably be pointed out and said that you are not filial."

Sure enough, He Xiaohou immediately exploded when he heard this, and said: "Just say it! I am disobedient and unfilial, so what? I will not be an official in the court, and I am not afraid of being impeached by officials. Do you think I'm still scared? Besides, it's not me, He Gu, who is in the wrong."

Master He Xiaohou finished speaking angrily, but not long after the words came out of his mouth, he immediately regretted it.

The person sitting in front of him at the moment is, after all, Sister Yu'er. Isn't it enough to worry about the bad things in his family?

Why do you have to tell her, so that she will also suffer from nausea for nothing?

Then he hastily whispered again: "Sister, don't bother with my family affairs. My mother has already left, and my father...he is not a fun thing, so there is no need to give him good looks. From now on, we will just Sending some gifts to the Marquis Mansion during festivals and festivals, it’s all right, my sister doesn’t have to pay homage to him, she will make him proud later.”

Pei Zhaoheng frowned slightly.

It seems that He Gu was not only being bullied by his stepmother, but also had a deep discord with his own father, Old Master He.

Since He Gu doesn't want him to care, he can't continue to ask, but if Pei Zhaoheng really doesn't care, it is absolutely impossible to let his mother's dowry be misappropriated by a vicious woman.

This matter has to go down and send someone to investigate, and then discuss it in the long run.

Just thinking about this, He Gu suddenly said: "Sister, I have something to ask you."

Pei Zhaoheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's the matter?"

He Gu put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at the eldest princess at the table.

Even when the eldest princess was eating, she never took off her veil completely, but just pulled it down slightly and piled it around her neck.

He Gu originally saw that she was still wearing a veil today, and felt a little strange in his heart, but seeing her like this now, he thought to himself, it seems that my sister is really introverted by nature, and she is used to wearing this veil. Later, she deliberately dressed up as a boudoir daughter.

I no longer care about it.

He only seriously mentioned the important matter to her, and said: "I don't know, what kind of disease does my sister's own brother, the third prince from Jinling, suffer from?"

Now, no matter whether it was Pei Zhaoheng or Lan Shu who was standing beside him, they almost thought that they had heard wrongly, and they were suspicious in their hearts. Could it be that they accidentally revealed their secrets? Did the son-in-law notice something?

However, He Gu continued to speak seriously: "I heard that His Highness the Third Highness has been afraid of the cold since she was a child, and suffered from wheezing and coughing. The Imperial Physician was helpless, so she was sent to Jinling to recuperate. Is that true?"

The eldest princess said: "That's true, why are you asking this?"

He Gudao: "Wheezing and coughing can be said to be serious or minor. My uncle also has cough and has suffered from it for many years. So I found a famous doctor a few days ago to help my uncle. For diagnosis and treatment, I thought, if she can heal my uncle well, if the Third Highness also has a cough, maybe she can also cure the Third Highness? I don’t know if my sister has written with the Third Highness in recent days to know that the Third Highness What about your health?"

The eldest princess was silent for a while, but said: "I appreciate your kindness, but the third brother's illness is already a stubborn illness, and it is not so easy to cure. The doctor you are looking for should be able to take care of your uncle, no need I will travel to Jinling again because of him."

He Gu was startled, and thought, after all, the Third Highness is also Sister Yuer's younger brother, no matter how she reacted, she heard that there was a good doctor, but she didn't have the slightest intention of being happy for her younger brother, and she wanted to push him away. outside?

Could it be that she doesn't believe that Miss Yan can cure the Third Highness' illness?

He explained: "This doctor has a wonderful hand and is very capable. If she goes out, any chronic illnesses will be nothing to worry about. Sister, believe me. When the time comes, the third highness's illness will be cured, and you can return to Bianjing Come on, have you reunited with your sister and the empress..."

The eldest princess's complexion suddenly darkened, she put the chopsticks on the table, made a crisp "pop", and said with a frosty face: "I said no need, but there is no need, the third brother's illness is not an ordinary cough, no cough. It's so simple and can be cured, the son-in-law doesn't have to think about it any more."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, turned around and left, and Lan Shu had no choice but to follow.

There was only a dazed, puzzled Master He Xiaohou who watched her leave with his mouth half-opened and a dazed expression.

Lan Shu followed Pei Zhaoheng out of the dining room. The two masters and servants, together with the servants who followed behind, walked for half a stick of incense before Pei Zhaoheng stopped in front of the lotus pond in the back garden of the Princess Mansion. pace.

Seeing this, Lan Shu turned her head and said to the maids behind, "Retire first."

A group of servants backed away in response, Lan Shu turned his head to look, and saw that His Highness the Third Highness was looking at a half-bloomed seven-petaled lotus in the pond, his eyes were a little empty.

Lan Shu sighed in his heart, and said, "Is Your Highness still angry? Son-in-law, after all, he doesn't know the truth of the matter, and it's an unintentional statement. Why should Your Highness take it seriously?"

That's right, how could Lord He Xiaohou know that even if the "disease" of the third prince of Jinling was cured...

In this life, it is absolutely impossible for Empress Chen, the eldest princess, the third son, mother and son to be reunited again.

Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a low laugh, shook his head, and said with some self-deprecation: "...Aunt Lan, how ridiculous I am to take my anger out on him."

"You're right, Zihuan...he doesn't know anything, it's just a good intention, but I...I become angry and care about him, I really..."

Lan Shu hurriedly said: "Your Highness is depressed, how can you blame you? It's okay, the young master is kind and open-minded. Your Highness, please go back. As long as your Highness apologizes to him, he will definitely not give birth to you." Angry."

What Lan Shu said was indeed correct.

He Gu was very worried, she didn't know what happened to the eldest princess just now, she just thought it was because of the dry weather in summer, people would inevitably get angry, and she was too full for lunch, so she just went back to take a nap, nothing at all. Thinking that the eldest princess was angry with him.

So when the eldest princess and her party returned to the dining room, they found that it was already empty. After asking the servants, they learned that the son-in-law had left the mansion...

Pei Zhaoheng: "..."

Did Zihuan get angry with him and run away from home? ?

---------

He Xiaohou certainly didn't run away from home.

In the end, He Gu felt that the reason why Sister Yu'er didn't let the doctor he found to treat the Third Prince was probably because she didn't believe that this doctor could indeed cure His Highness' illness.

There's nothing wrong with this. After Yan Zhiya cured his uncle's cough and Sister Yu'er saw it with her own eyes, could she stop Yan Zhiya from going to treat her younger brother?

After all, they are biological siblings, blood is thicker than water, it is impossible.

As soon as He Gugang came out of the princess mansion, he bumped into Zhengye who was rushing towards him head-on. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly smacked Zhengye's head, and scolded with a smile: "Look, kid, it's already noon, you One day, where did the person go? If the bully master has a good temper, you will leave your post without permission, right?"

Zhengye rubbed his forehead, and said: "Oh, how dare I, this is not the day of the wedding, I am afraid that if I come early, I will be a man, standing next to the prince and the eldest princess , that's so disgusting."

While continuing to walk outside the mansion, He Gu said, "Why did you suddenly learn to be so glib? Tell me, where did you go last night?"

Zhengye hurriedly followed him, and hearing He Gu's question, two patches of abnormal flush suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "I... Set up a storefront, open a medical clinic, so please ask me to help her take a look, and then..."

He Gu thought in his heart, yes, Zhengye, originally he was worried that Miss Yan would have a thin skin and dare not talk to her, but he didn't expect that before he could figure out how to connect the two of them, Zhengye would do just that.

It seems that it is not far from marrying a daughter-in-law!

He Gu didn't point it out, just smiled and said: "Well, that's just right, I'm going to find Miss Yan today, so you can go with me again."

Masano was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Ah what, don't you want to see him for the second time?"

Zhengye blushed immediately, and said, "No, sir...don't talk nonsense, Miss Yan is still an unmarried girl, how can you make fun of her like that..."

He Gu said: "Oh, then stop joking, it seems that you really don't want to see her anymore, then go back to your residence and wait for me to go back, I will go find her myself."

Zhengye: "..."

Zhengye: "Master, let me go with you, it's not safe for you to go out alone..."

He Gu laughed out loud, and stopped teasing him. The two masters and servants led two horses, and asked the stable of the Princess Mansion to prepare a carriage to follow, and then went to the small house where Yan Zhiya lived in the south of the city. The yard went.

Today is the second day of the princess's son-in-law's wedding. In Bianjing City, Zhang's red and hanging colors have not been completely removed, but the atmosphere is still full of joy. He Gu, who watched all the way, couldn't help but feel a little better.

When she got to the yard and met Yan Zhiya, she was really refreshed. When she saw He Gu came to pick her up and go to see the patient she agreed to, she got into the carriage without saying a word.

A group of people rushed to Yanfu.

No one in the Yan family expected that He Gu would come to visit on the second day of his wedding with the eldest princess, and he would bring a...

Miss who has not left the court?

"You mean...this girl can see your uncle's illness?"

Madam Yan looked at Yan Zhiya with some doubts.

Fortunately, when he came here today, under He Gu's persuasion, Yan Zhiya still wore a veil.

He Gu still had some scruples in his heart, if Yan Zhiya appeared to be too independent, the elders of the Yan family would not believe and would not accept her to treat Yan Song.

He Gu nodded and said: "Yes, although Miss Yan is indeed young, she has real abilities. I know that my grandmother and grandfather may not believe her grandson's words because she is young and a woman, but uncle's illness, after all It has been many years, and there are so many famous doctors in Beijing, all of whom have been practicing medicine for many years, so they are helpless, so why can't Miss Yan try?"

"In any case, if she can cure my uncle's illness, that would be great. We have nothing to lose if she can't. I'll just go out and visit another doctor."

Yan Zhiya was wearing a veil and sitting at the bottom of the main hall of the Yan Mansion. Although Mrs. Yan hadn't said it clearly, the meaning of what she said just now obviously didn't believe her. Zai leisurely looked at the paintings and calligraphy hanging in the main hall of Yan Mansion.

After He Gu finished speaking, she smiled, turned her head and said, "I can't guarantee anything else, but before coming here, the young master gave me a deposit of 300 taels. There is nothing that can be done about the master's illness, and I will not lie to him, Yan Zhiya will return the young master's consultation fee without taking a penny."

She said these words very calmly and confidently. Even the elders of the Yan family have known countless people all their lives, so they couldn't help but be a little taken aback. The two looked at each other. Ticket, how could I not believe it, then please ask this girl to treat Song'er."

He looked at Yan Zhiya, and said: "As the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, if a girl can really cure my son's illness, except for Gu'er's consultation fee, my general's residence will not treat the girl badly, and I will definitely pay you a lot of money. "

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Mrs. Yan didn't say much, so she called two women to lead the way for Yan Zhiya, and went to Yan Song's yard.

They left, and a woman in very plain clothes came forward, looked at He Gu and said, "Gu'er, I'm sorry that you have been thinking about your uncle all these years, no matter whether this girl can cure his Illness, Auntie thanked you here first."

This woman is naturally He Gu's aunt, Yan Dingye's mother-in-law Lu Shi.

He Gudao: "Auntie is being very polite. The whole family doesn't speak the same language. Why are you being so polite? Now that Rong'er is staying in the mansion, I have to ask my aunt to take care of her."

Naturally, the Lu family responded again and again, but He Gu suddenly sensed something was wrong, frowned, looked around and said, "Where's my cousin?"

The old general snorted coldly in the hall, and said: "How can that unbelievable thing stay in the mansion? Naturally, I don't know where it went to fool around again."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help defending her son in a low voice: "Dingye has already learned to repent recently, and he didn't go out to be stubborn today, he is..."

Old General Yan said: "You still defend him, it's you, a mother, who dotes on him too much, otherwise he..."

But He Gu didn't continue to listen to the old general Yan's words, because he heard the second half of Lu's extremely low voice.

"...He went out to have a banquet with the nobles from the Eastern Palace."

He Gu's pupils dilated slightly, he looked at Mrs. Lu, and said quickly, "Auntie, who do you think he went out with?"
