Fake concubine, real queen

It wasn't until Yijia disappeared at the end of the long street that He Gu turned back silently.

Yan Dingye gave a "tsk" and said: "Yesterday I just heard that the empress's phoenix body is ill. The eldest princess has been hunting with His Majesty in Xishan these days, and she has rushed back to Bianjing so soon. A filial piety is really a lesson to be learned from the sun and the moon." ah."

He Gu was silent for a while, then said: "The one just now was the eldest princess?"

Yan Dingye came over and gossiped in a low voice: "It should be true, Your Majesty loves Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and every year she goes out to hunt in the palace, only the Crown Prince and her are brought with her, not even the Second Prince... Your Majesty does not take it with her." .”

He Gu glanced at him: "You are well-informed, you know what you should know and what you shouldn't know."

Yan Dingye's face was a little smug: "After all, I'm not like you, my cousin, who stays with my uncle all the year round... Cough, let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this."

Seeing that He Gu's expression was gradually turning from cloudy to cloudy, Yan Dingye quickly changed his words.

"Anyway, I still have some good news... That Mr. Liu just now, he is..." He looked around the long street with people coming and going, coughed dryly and said in a low voice, "Cousin, it's inconvenient here. I'll tell you more about it."

He Gu was too lazy to listen to his gossip, so he raised his hand and slapped him hard, saying: "You have time to care about the nobles in the palace, why don't you know how to take good care of your father? Your father..."

He paused, remembering that his uncle Yan Song hadn't been diagnosed with tuberculosis yet, he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

I am happy that he is reborn as a 16-year-old, maybe he can find a way to take good care of his uncle so that he will not suffer from tuberculosis, a life-threatening and incurable disease, but he is angry and angry when he saw this picture of Yan Dingye with his own eyes. He looks heartless, although in his previous life he knew that Yan Dingye was angry with his uncle, but he was not in Bianjing at that time, and later his grandparents, who were white-haired and black-haired, both passed away sadly, and he failed to send them off for the last time. Cheng, this matter has always brooded on him.

Speaking of Dingye, since his father and grandparents passed away, there is no one who can take care of him in Bianjing, and he is the only widowed mother left in the Yan family, and he has long been disappointed in him. Regardless of whether or not, Yan Dingye was poked in the back all day long, although he blamed himself, he regretted it too late, and gradually fell into a depression.

In the previous life, when He Gu hurried back to Bianjing, what he saw was the already fragmented Yan family and his cousin Yan Dingye, who only knew how to drink away his worries and paralyze himself all day long.

He Gu thought of getting here, his eyes turned cold, and he thought to himself that if he didn't break this little bastard Yan Dingye back in this life, wouldn't he have let God down in vain and let him live again?

But Yan Dingye didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt that his cousin He Gu looked at him with cold eyes, which made people feel creepy, he remembered his plan just now, swallowed, and couldn't help saying: "What... …Cousin, my father and grandfather don’t know that I’ve been in Huayuelou this month… You see, let’s discuss it, I won’t go anymore… Don’t tell them about it, or else It was okay if they didn't know, wouldn't they be even more angry if they knew?"

He Gu pulled the reins of the horse in his hand, expressionless: "You are just fooling your aunt like this, pampering and protecting you time and time again?"

Yan Dingye: "..."

"...Brother, let's just discuss the matter, don't talk about anything else, am I wrong, if I tell you now..."

Before he finished speaking, a boy's pleasantly surprised voice came from not far away: "Master!"

He Gu looked up, and saw Zhengye waving at him with a face full of surprise and anxiety among the crowd in the market not far away. He trotted over quickly, took a breath, and said, "I've finally found you."

He Gu frowned and said: "I didn't ask you to wait for me in the mansion, I have something to do, why did you come to me..."

Zhengye said: "It's not me, it's..." He couldn't stop panting, and managed to recover, "...It was Old General Yan and Mrs. Yan who came to the house, and Master Hou asked me to come out to find you."

He Gu couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "Grandfather and grandmother? Why are they here?"

Seeing Yan Dingye next to him, Zhengye was a little surprised, and said, "Hey, since Master Biao is also here, let's go back together."

The two elders of the Yan family seldom go out since they got old. Yan Dingye was a little surprised when he heard that his grandparents had gone all the way to the Marquis of Changyang, but he soon recovered, waved his hands desperately and said bitterly : "No, no, I won't go... I didn't send greetings to your family in advance. I rushed to visit my uncle just after returning to Beijing. I'm afraid I will disturb him. It's not good..."

It's a pity that he wanted to run away, but He Gu couldn't let him go, so he grabbed him by the back of the collar, and the corner of his mouth curled into a gentle smile, which in Yan Dingye's eyes was full of evil intentions.

"Why be so polite, you and I are cousins, what's the big deal if you come to the Hou's mansion for dinner, and it's worth sending me some kind of thank you note?"

"It just so happens that my grandfather and grandmother are here, and you can follow the elders back to the General's Mansion later."

Yan Dingye was so reluctantly sent back by He Gu.

The three of them returned to the Marquis of Changyang. He Gu handed Ma Jiang over to the boy, and pulled Yan Dingye into the second gate when he heard a sound of a teacup being smashed to the ground from a distance from the main hall. There was a sound, and there was a faint voice floating, a bad premonition floated in his heart, he turned his head to look at Zhengye, and said in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Zhengye was also at a loss: "Just now, the old general and the old lady only said that they came to ask for a cup of tea. When I left, I saw that they and Lord Hou were still on good terms, and somehow they fell into the cup..."

He Gu was speechless, so he had to pull Yan Dingye to speed up his pace to the main hall. He remembered that in his previous life, his grandfather and grandmother seemed to have made such a fuss for him when he came to the Hou's Mansion, but it didn't work out, and he even suffered Wan Shi for no reason. There was a hint of ingenuity in the words.

Yan's family members are all simple-minded and well-developed limbs, without exception.

Including He Gu's mother, no matter how heroic and heroic she was when she was in her boudoir, after marrying into the Marquis of Changyang, she met Wan Shi who has grown up to 1 hearts, and she was still played by others before applauding. middle.

Sure enough, before he got close to He Gu, he heard the voice of his grandmother, the old lady. The old lady's voice was thick and straight, and the voice was cold. It sounded like she should be quite strong recently, and He Gu was a little relieved.

"...At the beginning I thought you were young, Ruo'er passed away, Gu'er and Rong'er were still young, if there was no mistress in the family, it would not be good to look at Gu'er, and you kept saying that Wan's virtuous, The general and I hesitated again and again before agreeing to your righting her. Now that she has done such a thing, it can be seen that a concubine is a concubine after all. Even if you insist on promoting him to be a regular wife, she can only do such a dirty trick If I had known about this heart-to-heart thing, the general and I would have killed each other back then, and we would never want my two grandchildren to have such an extra stepmother!"

"Mother-in-law, please calm down first, this matter is not what you think..."

"What did I think? What did I think?"

The sound of Madam Yan slapping the table came from the hall, He Gu didn't respond yet, Yan Dingye didn't know what conditioned reflex shivered, He Gu couldn't help but glance at him, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Now she handed Gu'er's horoscope in front of the empress, vying to let Gu'er be the son-in-law. Who else doesn't know about all the nobles in the capital? What do you think people think of you, He Nanfeng? They don't say anything, You are laughing behind your back, you have a stepmother who is wholeheartedly trying to kill the future of the ex-wife's children in the Marquis of Changyang!"

As soon as He Gugang entered the door, what he saw was Mrs. Yan, who was blushing and thick-necked, who was sitting on the front table and slapped the table angrily, and General Yan, who was silent and leaning on the armrest of the carved mahogany bench.

"Gu'er, you're back?" Mrs. Yan saw him at a glance, her eyes lit up instantly, and she waved to him, "Come here, come here, let grandma take a good look, why do I feel that Chenghe has stayed for so long? I lost weight."

When He Gu walked in front of her, the old woman grabbed her hand. Zhengye moved a small round stool over with good eyesight. He Gu sat down and said in a low voice, "Grandma, I'm not thin. Don't worry about me, I've grown taller."

As he spoke, he glanced at Master He Laohou who was sitting next to him from the corner of his eye.

My father's expression was gloomy and unclear, with five fingers clenched into fists on his knees, obviously not in a good mood, Wan Shi was sitting next to him, she was still in the same green skirt, looking thin and pitiful, she folded her legs and only tilted her hands The chair under him was half-occupied, with his head bowed down, looking pitiful, cautious and restrained.

He Gu had no expression on his face, but felt a little disgusted in his heart, so he quickly looked away.

"You have just returned to Beijing from Chenghe County with your father. Your grandfather and I shouldn't have bothered you at this time. It's just that you, a stepmother, are too extreme in doing things and deceiving others. If your grandfather and I don't come, just I'm afraid that you and Rong'er will be bullied to death, and there won't be a conscientious person in the Changyang Marquis Mansion of Nuo Da to support you two brothers and sisters."

Madam Yan sighed as she patted the back of her grandson's hand. Her hand was dry and wrinkled, but her palm was still warm. Grandson is worried."

"It's not your fault." Mrs. Yan raised her head as she spoke, and this time her eyes finally looked sharply at Madam Hou Wan Shi, "Wan Shu'er, Master Hou and I have had a big fight here. For a long time, I have never heard you ring, what? You didn't say anything? Or do you only have the guts to do it, but not the guts to admit it?"

He Nanfeng said: "It wasn't she who handed Gu'er's horoscope into the palace, it was the empress herself who spoke..."

Old General Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. His voice was a little hoarse, but he was full of energy, and he could vaguely hear the decisive calm and indisputable momentum of his youth.

"Don't tell me, let her explain herself."

That's what the old general said.
