Fake concubine, real queen

As soon as Old General Yan spoke, He Nanfeng couldn't stand up for Wan Shi anymore, his beard trembled, and he finally stopped talking.

Wan Shu'er's palm-sized face was as pale as paper, and He Nanfeng looked very distressed, but her expression was still calm, she lowered her head in silence for a while, and said slowly: "As Lord Hou said, Gu'er The portrait and horoscope are both requested by the Empress herself, not because of my intention, Master Hou has already asked once during dinner today, and now the two of you will ask again, and I will only answer this one."

She wiped her tears with her handkerchief as she spoke, and said in a low voice: "Besides, Gu'er has also reached the age of marriage. He is about the same age as His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. If the empress can take a fancy to our Gu'er, isn't that right?" Isn’t it the blessing of the Marquis of Changyang? Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is golden and precious. If you give it to Gu’er, you’ve wronged him. Although I did pass his horoscope into the palace, it was also for the Queen’s order. How did it get into the mouth of the old lady? It turned out to be a 'dirty thing', could it be that the Empress Empress valued Gu'er's appearance and talent, and intended to promise her as an emperor, is there something wrong?"

What she said seemed to be just to defend herself, but she was already sarcastically saying that the old general and Mrs. Yan were disrespectful to the queen and the princess. Mrs. Yan's complexion changed immediately when she heard that, Wan's being a little girl After years of lying down, Mrs. Yan never expected that she would have such a face. She stood up abruptly and pointed at her with trembling fingers: "You...you..."

He Gu hurriedly pulled his grandmother to sit down. He knew that although the Wan family was uneasy and well-intentioned, there was nothing wrong with what he said. Although many noble sons-in-law knew it tacitly, very few dared to say it. It is because of this.

It's fine if you're just waiting to die. Although you can't be an official if you marry a princess, you can get rich rewards. As long as you don't make big mistakes, you can live comfortably all your life, and you can be happy to be a rich and idle person.

However, although the Marquis of Changyang is not considered one of the best noble relatives in Bianjing, his family background is not weak. He Gu is also the eldest son, and he will inherit the title in the future. It is really not worthwhile to ruin the future for nothing.

In Mrs. Yan's heart, her grandson is very upbeat.

The eldest daughter died early, and the grandson lost his mother when he was young, but he didn't grow up at all. He was well-behaved and smart since he was a child, and he learned everything in literature and martial arts.

Looking at the martial arts of riding and archery, he is one of the best among the princes and grandchildren in Bianjing. He Gu went to Chenghe with his father to quell the chaos and returned victorious at a young age. Although it is not a great achievement, but at the age of 16 , is already very remarkable.

Quite reminiscent of his grandfather Yan, the old general, in the old days, even surpassing others.

Mrs. Yan has always believed that her grandson will have great fortune in the future.

But at this moment, she is not able to speak out, saying that this royal marriage is not good, her face turns red and turns pale. When He Gu saw this, he was afraid that she would be furious, and was about to speak, but her father said, "Father-in-law Mother-in-law doesn't need to worry, although the Empress Dowager wanted this matter, but after all, the letter of approval from the palace has not come out, and now she is just looking for the princess, so it may not be possible that Gu'er will be able to marry the princess."

"How about this, your majesty should collect the hunting from Xishan and return to Beijing in two days. At that time, I will go to the palace to have a business, or I can inquire about it when I meet the saint. If your majesty also wants to, I will find an excuse for Gu'er to decline, your majesty." I am a benevolent monarch, and now I have the merits of Chenghe to calm the chaos, I think His Majesty will not blame me for this, there may be room for maneuver in this matter."

As soon as he said that, needless to say that He Gu and General Yan and his wife were a little surprised, even Wan Shi couldn't help being stunned. General Yan was silent for a while, closed his eyes, and said: "...it's not bad. You have some conscience as a father."

Wan Shi murmured for a while, then said in a low voice: "This... this is what the Empress Dowager meant, Master Hou clearly refused, I'm afraid he will offend the Tian family..."

Before she finished speaking, He Nanfeng's expression turned serious, and he shouted, "Shut up!"

It was rare for Wan Shi to see him get so angry at him, and he was immediately frightened, and immediately hung his head and dared not speak.

Since He Nanfeng had promised to refuse the marriage for his son when he entered the palace tomorrow, the old Yan family and his wife were unwilling to give in, so they wanted to leave immediately. He Nanfeng intended to keep them for dinner, but was only told by Yan The old general declined indifferently.

It was only then that Mrs. Yan noticed Yan Dingye who had been rubbing against the door and dared not come in. She was stunned and said, "Dingye, why are you here?"

Yan Dingye rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Well... I happened to meet my cousin on the street today, and he caught him."

Old General Yan glanced at his disappointing grandson, and guessed in his heart that this little bastard probably went out to fool around again, but he didn't want to reprimand his grandson at the He family, so he frowned and said, "Go home."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at his grandson again, his tone and eyes softened more than a little bit: "Gu'er, I finally returned to Beijing, remember to come back to see me and your grandmother someday."

Yan Dingye: "..."

Who is the real grandson!

He Gu nodded quickly, yes, He Nanfeng locked Wan Shi in the house and did not let her come out, and together with his son, he sent the two elders of the Yan family to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and did not turn back until he watched them get into the chariot.

As soon as he turned around, he met the cold eyes of the elder son.

When He Gu saw him looking at him, he raised the corners of his lips and gave a foolish smile, without saying a word, he turned his head and prepared to go back to his room.

He Lao Hou Ye suddenly said: "You stop."

He Gu's footsteps paused: "What's your father doing?"

"I will enter the palace for my father in two days, and you will go with me."

He Gu was taken aback for a moment: "I...what am I going to do?"

He Nanfeng shook his beard, his lips trembled, but he didn't speak.

He knew that today's son is not only a benevolent ruler, but also a wise ruler. His Majesty loves talents. Although his eldest son is a bit disobedient, he is quite capable in writing, poetry, bowing, riding and shooting. Although He Nanfeng has never I said it, but I was secretly proud of it in my heart. He was often envied and gave birth to a good son when talking with his colleagues. If His Majesty saw He Gu, he would probably cherish his talents and might want to keep him. In the future, as an official and general, I can't bear to see him ruin his future because he became a son-in-law.

This is much smarter than him personally refusing.

It's just that although He Nanfeng knew it in his heart, he didn't want to say it in front of He Gu. Otherwise, this disobedient son, who had committed a crime recently, might be even more complacent, and it would be even more difficult for him to discipline him.

When he thought of this, he coughed dryly, and said coldly: "It's justified for my father's decision, why ask so many questions?"

He Gu deeply felt that he was insane, obviously the old man He himself stopped him, and now he was about to give up. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and was just about to turn around and leave, but remembered something and stopped in his tracks.

"I, as a son, have no right to ask how father and madam live, but madam is father's stepmother, but Rong'er is also father's daughter, please take good care of madam and her unscrupulous wives and servants, Don't put your hands into Wangshu Zhai, otherwise if there is a big trouble in the future, it will not look good on Dad."

Old Master He was taken aback, frowned, and said, "You mean..."

He Gupo looked at him a little strangely, and smiled sarcastically.

"At any rate, the madam has been my father's bedside person for many years. Why, you really can't guess what she can do? Rong'er told me that there are bad people who want to harm her, but Wang Shuge The nuns found out, but failed. She is an eight or nine-year-old girl, how can she lie? My father and I are both in Chenghe, and how many people in this huge Changyang Marquis Mansion can harm her or want to harm her? ? Can't Dad guess?"

As He Gu said, he couldn't help but think of his carelessness in his previous life. He Rong was poisoned by that woman at home, and he was frightened by a snake so that he lost his mind, and his mind stayed in his childhood forever. gas.

From rebirth to now, He Gu actually often feels like a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou. Every night, when he wakes up in the morning and looks at himself on the water while washing, he will wonder if he is really reborn. Unhappy life everywhere?Or was it all just a dream he had?

But He Gu found that he couldn't have that kind of heart, just like the He Gu in the dream who had been up and down for half his life, faced with life and death for him, but in the end he ransacked the whole family of the He family, saying that he was an "unfaithful and disobedient minister". "The prince just accepted it submissively and killed him immediately.

Back in his youth, He Gu felt that his psychology had been affected to some extent, his emotional ups and downs became more severe, and he didn't want to be angry at being manipulated, let down, or betrayed anymore.

Regardless of whether that life was true or not, at least this time, he will never go the same way as before.

Even though the current Wan family may not have done anything wrong in his previous life, He Gu will never let it go. He will not give these people any more chances to hurt himself and his relatives.

He said coldly: "The good things have already been said before, if father pampers her, if she angers me in the future, father don't blame my son for being disobedient and unfilial."

That's all for He Gu's words, he turned and left, leaving only the old Master He with a dazed expression.

At the same time, the Zhiyang Palace where the queen lived.

The eldest princess, Chunxiao, originally accompanied the emperor to hunt in the Xishan hunting ground. As soon as she learned that the queen had contracted a cold, she immediately took leave of absence and returned to the palace to see her mother.

But the people in Zhiyang Palace all know...the Empress is fine, as for being bedridden due to the cold...

Those that don't exist are all lies told by the empress in order to deceive the princess to come back early.

At this moment, the Eldest Princess really rushed back from the West Mountain. As soon as she entered the Zhiyang Palace, the people in the Zhiyang Palace were all watching their eyes, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses and noses. After Mom fooled her, she would vent her anger on them.

Empress Chen was a famous beauty in Bianjing back then. In addition to her noble family background, before she left the cabinet, the proposer almost stepped through the threshold of Chen's residence.

The eldest princess, Pei Zhaoyu, was born with a good appearance and followed her mother.

It's just that she has a cold and reticent temperament, and His Majesty loves and respects her. She was raised just like the prince since she was a child, and she is good at reading and bowing horses.

Different from her mother, Empress Chen, who is charming and charming, the eldest princess is more like a red lotus in the snow. Although she is cold, she is still gorgeous.

As soon as she took off the tulle, although the people of Zhiyang Palace watched her grow up, they would inevitably be dazzled by the eldest princess's beauty every time they saw her.

The eldest princess's voice was slightly low, but it was still warm and sweet: "Mother? Are you all right?"

"It's all right." Empress Chen said while flipping over the case table, "If I didn't say that, I don't know when you will return to the palace. The empress mother has business to look for you."

"Since it's a business, why don't you directly..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes fell on a portrait of Empress Chen who was flipping over the table and paused.

The handsome young man in the painting is dressed in blue. The artist who drew the portrait is quite capable. He painted his black eyes that are as bright as dots of paint. The corners of his eyes are slightly curved, and his lips have a three-point smile. Very.

"How is it?" The queen looked up at her daughter happily, "The eldest son of the Changyang Hou's family, I seem to like him the most. I asked Mrs. Changyang Hou a few days ago. He is good at learning martial arts. It also fits with you, Yu'er has a look, do you still like it?"
