Fake concubine, real queen
Chapter 57
East Palace.
As soon as the third prince and the son-in-law left, a young man in brocade clothes walked out of the inner hall slowly.
When he came out of the inner hall, the crown prince didn't look up at him, he just raised his chin lazily, gestured for the position opposite him, and said, "Sit down."
This young man in brocade clothes is none other than Yue Huaimin, the eldest son of the Yue family who grew up with the crown prince.
Yue Huaimin sat down as he said, with a slightly puzzled look on his face, he asked cautiously: "Your Highness... Hasn't he not handed over the papers to the Holy Majesty and recommended the Third Highness? Why did you just give him a guarantee? Your Majesty's imperial decree is still in effect now." If not, the officials are still admonishing, His Highness may not be hopeless..."
On the couch where the two of them were sitting, there was a small mahogany case. On the case was a chessboard. The chess pieces made of white jade and jasper were clear and exquisite, intertwined on the chessboard. Just looking at the chess game, the fighting was very fierce. It is feasible. The player of chess, from the beginning to the end, is only the crown prince.
The prince twirled a jasper chess piece with two fingers, looked down at the chessboard with his cheeks in his hand, frowning in thought, and after hearing Yue Huaimin's words, he only replied: "It's all a matter of time, if you really want to make a decision I, my father, have already made a decision. These days, there are disputes between the government and the public, and hundreds of officials accept advice. My father refuses to let go. It is most likely because I have eaten the weight and made up my mind. I must send my third brother. If this is the case, anyway I can't compete, so why does Gu have to blush and embarrass me for no reason? It's better to sell the third brother as a favor."
Yue Huaimin frowned and said: "Although that's the case, the position of Fushifu is of great importance. Although you have beaten His Highness the Third Highness just now, he is not our own after all. If he finds out something and makes a fuss Get up and shake things about Jiang Luo in front of the Holy Majesty, it will be troublesome..."
The crown prince gave up his son and said: "There is Song Lao sitting in Jiangluo, it is not so easy for him to notice it, it is Wang Ting and such an old fox, it is just a little bit of fur after going there, don't you?" Ying doesn't have to scare herself, just tell him to go."
Yue Huaimin said: "Okay... Mr. Song is indeed appropriate in handling things, but I am still a little worried about whether His Majesty's move has any deep meaning... This..."
The prince was silent for a while when he heard the words, his face gradually turned cold, and he said after a while: "Father loves my aunt very much, and naturally loves her children as well. It is not surprising that the third brother will be valued by him since he returned to Beijing." .”
Yue Huaimin couldn't help but said: "That's what I thought of. If it's normal, it's enough for him to get the limelight. His Highness is not uncommon, but now...now..."
He paused at this point, a little afraid to say the next sentence.
But the crown prince picked it up half-sneering and half-jokingly, and said: "Now there is a rift between Gu and the emperor, and Gu's East Palace has also lost his holy family. Feng Ying is afraid that Gu can't live in the East Palace anymore, right?"
Yue Huaimin was taken aback, stood up and didn't dare to say anything, but was held down by the prince, the prince said: "Gu naturally knows that Feng Ying is also worried about Gu, out of kindness, Gu is not to blame you, but Gu's reserve... so For many years, I have come here trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice. In the past, there was a second child who could not get through with Gu, but now I am not afraid of multiple third children, and...Gu Zi has other plans. The third child went to Jiangluo this time, it was him He really has the ability to detect something, and he doesn't have the time to make a fuss."
Yue Huaimin said: "Your Majesty is stupid, what do you mean by His Highness's words?"
The crown prince was about to answer, but there was an announcement from an internal official in the outer hall, saying: "Your Highness, Commander Ji is here."
The crown prince couldn't help but move slightly when he heard the words, he looked at Yue Huaimin and said with a smile: "Just as I was about to tell you about this, he came back, you will pick your day."
He said to the outside of the hall, "Come in."
The door of the hall opened with a "squeak", and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, but the man didn't dare to enter the inner hall, and stopped in the outer hall.
The inner hall and the outer hall of the Eastern Palace are separated by a framed screen with beautiful pictures of mountains and rivers. This screen is embroidered by ten of the best needleworkers in Gyeonggi. , Ingenious workmanship, very delicate.
The flying snow silk is half-transparent, even through the screen, you can vaguely see the kneeling figure outside the hall, but that person never dared to raise his head, and only respectfully said: "Return to Your Highness, I have found someone, Your Highness ordered The matter... probably also found out."
The prince put down the chess piece and said, "Oh? Did you find it? Where is he? Tell me."
The person outside the screen replied: "This person is now in Luoling, and his humble position has already been checked carefully. When the eldest princess and His Highness the Third Highness were born two years ago, she was ordered to serve in Qingyu Palace. Since the Third Highness After I went to Jinling to recuperate, I have been serving the eldest princess personally, never leaving her body."
The prince said: "Are you sure it's her? Did you admit your mistake?"
The person outside the screen said: "It's her, her name is Lan Shu. I have confirmed it again and again, and I can't be wrong."
The prince laughed with great interest, thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that Gu guessed correctly... Sure enough, he said that he went to Zongshan, but the personal palace servant of the 'Emperor Sister' appeared in Luoling,'Three Brother' just in time to return to Beijing at this time..."
Yue Huaimin was at a loss, and said, "Your Highness... what are you talking about?"
The prince said: "Feng Ying still remembers that Gu told you a few days ago that there was something suspicious, and I will tell you when I find it out."
Yue Huaimin said: "Remember, what is it? Have you found out now?"
The prince said: "Back when the imperial sister was not married, she was in charge of the palace affairs, and the people in the aunt's palace were all chosen by her. These people have a very reliable mouth, and she is also very capable. After so many years, she has not had the slightest rumor. It wasn't until a few days ago that she moved to the Princess Mansion after she got married, and by chance... didn't she know about this great event."
Yue Huaimin said, "What's the big deal?"
The prince hooked his fingers, Yue Huaimin immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly listened to him, the prince said something in a low voice, he was slightly taken aback for a moment, then his pupils suddenly constricted, and he said in shock: "This... how is this possible? "
The prince said: "There is no mistake. I asked someone to go to the imperial hospital for an investigation. I did not disturb the imperial doctor who was treating my aunt. I only checked the records of the pharmacy. Although my aunt's prescriptions are all in the file, it is not easy to check. But after deducting the expenses of other medicinal materials in each palace, the remaining medicinal materials that are purchased regularly every month, I have already asked the doctor, they are all good medicines for calming the nerves, resting the mind, relieving panic and palpitations, and the pharmacy purchases these The time of things is not short, add up before and after, almost ten years."
Yue Huaimin was stunned for a while, before saying: "So...the empress..."
The crown prince was silent for a while, then suddenly he laughed mockingly in a low voice, and said, "That's right, my aunt is crazy...for so many years, my father did not hesitate to hide it from the whole world and all civil and military officials of the court because of her. He even did not hesitate to ask his own son to disguise himself as a woman to cover up for his aunt, for fear that one day, his aunt would not be able to be his queen. The emperor really has a deep affection for his aunt, and he has worked so hard..."
Yue Huaimin seldom saw him like this, so he was stunned at first, but soon he caught the key words in the prince's words, and said in surprise: "Your Highness...you...what are you talking about? Dressing up as a woman? This... this..."
He was halfway through speaking, but suddenly thought of something, he suddenly stopped, his pupils narrowed, and said: "You mean...the third highness...the eldest princess...they...they..."
Yue Huaimin is not stupid either, once he thinks in that direction, he quickly understands what the prince's words mean, he is almost speechless by this conjecture, his lips groan for a moment, for a long time, and then his throat turns into a blur. It was hard to utter a word.
"This...how is this possible, my God..."
The smile on the prince's face gradually faded away, and he picked up a jasper chess piece again, and the chess piece twirled deftly at his fingertips——
Yue Huaimin finally came to his senses, he couldn't help swallowing, and asked in a low voice: "...Then what does His Highness plan to do?"
The prince didn't answer him.
He threw the chess piece at his fingertips back into the chess box, made a crisp sound, and called out to the kneeling person outside the screen: "Bochang."
The person outside the screen kowtowed and said, "The subordinate is here."
"Just do what Gu told you before."
Hearing this, Bo Chang's back stiffened, and he couldn't help raising his head slightly, persuading him, "This...Your Highness, think twice!"
The prince said: "What? I'm afraid, Gu has guaranteed you that this matter will not be found out in the end, and Gu will protect you. Are you afraid that Gu will deceive you?"
Ji Bochang said urgently: "Your Highness has misunderstood. Your Highness owes Bochang a favor. For His Highness, Bochang is fearless even if he escapes death, and he will not hesitate to do so. But His Majesty must know about this matter, and it may even be His Majesty's instruction. If we really do this, even if the Empress Dowager is unable to sit firmly in the palace, His Majesty will guess that His Highness did it. At that time, the father-son relationship between His Highness and the Emperor will really be irreversible. I beg your Highness to think twice ah!"
Although Yue Huaimin didn't know what the crown prince was going to do, but after hearing Ji Bochang's words, he couldn't help becoming a little nervous, and said, "Your Highness, what... what are you going to do?"
The crown prince didn't answer him, but Ji Bochang, who was kneeling in the outer hall, said: "Don't worry, Gu has his own way of dealing with this matter, the emperor can't guess where Gu is coming from."
"You just have to do it, that's right... Remember to wait for the third child to arrive in Jiangluo before starting to do it."
After all, Pei Zhaoyuan was the crown prince, he insisted on going his own way, even though Ji Bochang was worried, he didn't dare to say any more, after dawdling for a long time, he still didn't see the crown prince taking back his order, so he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to accept the order, and left the palace gate.
When the door of the palace was closed, Yue Huaimin couldn't help asking: "Your Highness... are you..."
The prince turned his head and glanced at him. After a long silence, a helpless smile gradually appeared on his face, and he slowly shook his head.
The prince's voice was very low, not as if he was answering Yue Huaimin, but as if he was hypnotizing himself.
"Guben doesn't want to be like this either. The third child is a man of duty... Gu doesn't want to force him, but the Wen family and the second child are too deceptive, and the father doesn't know people well. Since you want to hit a snake, the only way to hit it is seven inches." It hurts, sitting in this position, I can no longer have everything as I wish..."
"Gu is also forced to do so."
---------------
Sure enough, the imperial decree arrived at the princess mansion soon.
The emperor personally appointed the third son of the emperor, Pei Zhaoheng, as Jiangluo Xuanfu envoy, and went to Jiangqing and Luoling to supervise the repair of river embankments and allocate relief funds and food on his behalf. He set off in three days without any mistakes.
After He Gu got the news, he knew that the Third Highness would be leaving in three days. His Highness had already promised him that he would not act rashly, so He Gu was not very worried about the errand, mainly because he was a little worried that it was going to be winter soon. Although the illness of the Third Highness seems to be fine so far, the chills are definitely different when the disease has not entered winter and it has entered winter. The Third Highness is only accompanied by Cheng Wei. After all, Cheng Wei is a man, no matter how much he cares , is always not as fine as a woman's care of others.
Then he called Lan Xiao back from the shop, and helped him pick out a few maidservants who were prudent and meticulous, and asked him to go with the Third Highness, and told them to take good care of them.
In addition, after taking out the two new clothes made for the third highness a few days ago, He Gu still felt that they were too thin. After all, the third highness was weak and afraid of the cold, and Jiangluo was damp and cold in winter, but the ordinary winter clothes might not be useful, so he ran again I went to my own silk and satin shop, picked out good thermal materials from it, bought a piece of fox fur out of my own pocket, and asked Fuzhong Xiuniang to make several winter clothes overnight, and specially added a thick layer of velvet to the neckline and cuffs. To block the wind, I changed the fox fur into a cloak according to the shoulder width of His Highness the Third Highness, and that's all.
Worrying about what to wear was not enough, so He Gu called two more servants, together with Zheng Ye, and went to a dry food store in the east of the city, and packed a portion of candied fruit, dried meat, sugar-fried chestnuts, and melon seeds. , When I went there, I was empty-handed, but when I came back, all four of them carried big bags and small bags in their hands, and they returned with a full load——
They are all snacks prepared for His Highness on the way.
In fact, when Sister Yu'er left, if she hadn't left suddenly, He Gu would probably have come like this——
No, if she hadn't left suddenly... He Gu wouldn't have let her go.
Lan Xiao watched from the sidelines, completely amazed, and said sincerely: "My son-in-law really cares about His Highness the Third Highness, so delicate, even if another woman who handles things safely comes, it may not be as thoughtful as my son-in-law."
And so quickly.
In just three days, the son-in-law has already prepared enough winter clothes, cloaks, and scarves for the three highnesses to spend a whole winter. In addition, there are snacks that can be eaten along the way, charcoal fires that may be used, and even Mrs. Tang It's all packed...
Where can I find such a caring brother-in-law?
He Guxin said, of course he has to eat some snacks, after all, he will have to rely on his brother-in-law for a soft meal in the future, so he must hurry up to curry favor with him while he is not developed yet. , Don't forget each other" isn't it?
On the fourth day, when Pei Zhaoheng set off, he saw the chariots and horses, servants, and seven or eight boxes prepared for him by the Princess Mansion, so he couldn't help being a little dazed.
Turning his head again, he looked at He Gu who was standing in front of the princess mansion, watching him rubbing his hands back and forth and laughing.
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, He Gu thought he thought he was meddling, and explained a little nervously: "Actually, I also know that His Highness is a prince, and this trip is an imperial envoy, so it is impossible for him to be neglected, but these are all things I have done. A little thought, your highness is better than not wearing it, the clothes are very warm, and you have everything you need to eat, your highness is not in good health, you have to take good care of it, don't be careless."
Pei Zhaoheng looked down at him: "Yes."
After a pause, he said again: "Zihuan is in Beijing... and take good care of herself."
He Gu's facial features are originally the handsome and upright type, as long as he smiles from the heart, he will appear extraordinarily sincere, extraordinarily clean, and extraordinarily... touching. I know, I introspected, when His Highness finishes his work over there, at the end of the year, when His Highness comes back to Beijing, Sister Yuer should also come back, and then we will celebrate New Year’s Eve together and have a New Year’s Eve dinner!"
The sun came out today, and the weather was fine. Under the bright sky, the unique childishness of He Gu's eyebrows and his hearty smile combined into a kind of attraction that Pei Zhaoheng could hardly resist. She couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed him in the morning sunlight.
...but he finally held back.
However, He Gu didn't notice everything. In his eyes, His Highness the Third Highness just lowered his eyes, and his slender eyelashes trembled slightly.
Pei Zhaoheng said: "Okay."
……time to go.
Pei Zhaoheng's footsteps paused, he closed his eyes, and was about to turn around and leave when someone grabbed his hand under his sleeve.
The master who held his hand had a higher body temperature than him.
Zihuan's hand was not as big as his, but to Pei Zhaoheng, the palm of that hand was so hot that his heart beat faster.
He Gu lowered his head and stuffed something into his hand. When Pei Zhaoheng saw it, it turned out to be an amulet folded into a triangle.
He Xiaohou clasped his hands together, his eyes were very devout: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Your Highness's trip will definitely go smoothly!"
I muttered in my heart, whoever makes troubles will rebound!Bounce!
Only then did He Gu let go of his hand, and said solemnly: "I bought this talisman for 50 taels a piece, it's very expensive! It must be very effective. Your Highness must take it with you, and all evils will be scattered!"
Pei Zhaoheng laughed.
He said: "Okay, I will definitely take it."
The two of them bid farewell, and the chariot and horse team set off on the long street. He Gu stopped to watch for a while, and then went home.
After three days of busy work, I was able to take a breather after seeing off the Third Highness.
But there's still something going on.
He had a sip of tea at the Princess Mansion, rested for a while, and then went out again to the Marquis Mansion of Changyang.
Wan Shu'er is gone, and the reason he was worried at the beginning is gone. He originally intended to take He Rong home from Yan Mansion, but after all, he has been living in Yan Mansion, and his grandfather and grandmother are getting old, so it's not good to bother her.
Unexpectedly, when he was going to pick him up, his grandmother, Mrs. Yan, refused to obey her life and death. She insisted on keeping her little granddaughter as a companion in Yan's mansion. She only said to He Gu, "Rong'er is a girl after all, so it's better for a girl's family to take care of her. Now you and Cheng'er are the only ones in the Hou's mansion, and her sister-in-law is far away in Zongshan, so she can't control her. It's better to stay here at my grandmother's house. In short, you can rest assured that she will be fat and fat, and she won't be wronged at all. "
He Gu was helpless, and said: "This... always bothers the elders, I don't do my best as an elder brother, I feel really sorry..."
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Yan's expression became solemn and she said: "You say you have to do your best, but there is something that your elder brother should do. Now that she is getting older, she should also be careful for your younger sister. Your grandfather and I... really don't know how to choose a son-in-law, and we don't know people well, so we won't get involved this time. Just keep your eyes open, the important thing is that Gu'er, the older brother, will pick her carefully, and it will take a few years to get started. Prepare a dowry for Rong'er, give her a head start, and get married smoothly, so that you won't waste your time."
He Gu scratched his head and said, "Rong'er is only ten years old, isn't it too early?"
Mrs. Yan scolded with a smile: "Girls are naturally different from wild boys like you. Naturally, important events in life must be done early and meticulously! You think it's too early. By then, all the good boys who are about the same age in Beijing will be booked by other girls. , Tell your sister to stay at home alone and not be able to marry to become the king of the mountain? Or a female general?"
He Gu couldn't help but make Lao Madam Yan amused, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just pick Rong'er as soon as I get back."
Mrs. Yan laughed again: "It's not just Rong'er, Cheng'er is almost fourteen, you are the head of the family now, you should remember that, don't just marry your own wife and forget about your younger brothers and sisters .”
That day when He Gu was nagging at Mrs. Yan so much, he couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly agreed, and Mrs. Yan gave up.
He went back to Hou's mansion today just for this matter.
Regardless of He Rong's marriage for the time being, He Cheng is indeed about the age, and he should take care of himself as a big brother. Before, he asked Manager Liu to help manage the name of the official lady in Jingzhong and Cheng's younger brother. In the past few days I have been busy with the affairs of the Third Highness, until now I have time to go back and look at it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the mansion and sat down in the main hall, Guanshi Liu handed him the roster and took out a jade pendant from his pocket.
When He Gu saw that piece of mutton fat jade, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback——
Isn't this... the day before he married Sister Yu'er, he exchanged it for that Taoist priest who sold amulets?
Guanshi Liu said: "My lord, a Taoist priest came to the mansion yesterday and said that he wanted to exchange this piece of jade for 500 taels of silver. You promised him. The villain asked Mr. Cen, the accountant, and he said that my lord was a few months ago. , it seems that such a thing was indeed ordered, so we exchanged the silver to the Taoist priest, this jade pendant... should belong to the master, right?"
He Gu accepted the jade pendant, looked at it and said: "It is indeed mine... I did promise that Taoist priest that I can use this jade pendant to exchange for 500 taels of silver at the accountant in the mansion."
It's just that it's been so long... Why did he come to change?When he sold the amulets back then, didn't he look like he was in a hurry to spend money?
Then he asked, "Didn't he say why he came to change it now?"
Liu Guanshi said: "Mr. Cen asked, why did the master tell him to come to pick up the money after a few months? The Taoist priest is also very interesting, he only said that he went home and slept, and accidentally overslept. It's too late, but who can go home and sleep for a few months?"
Guanshi Liu shook his head with a smile: "This Taoist looks crazy, what else is he talking about..."
He Gu took the jade pendant, and was thinking that the Taoist priest was indeed insane, but he had read a lot of Yan Zhiya's scriptures these days, and none of the experts in it were normal, so he asked Yan Zhiya, "Mr. "Answer: If an expert is not at all different from ordinary people, then he can still be called an expert with a hammer."
... quite reasonable.
He Gu didn't care too much about whether the Taoist priest was fooling him or not. He felt that he believed it or not. After hearing the second half of Liu Guanshi's words, he just asked with a casual smile, "What else did he say?"
Guanshi Liu laughed twice, and said: "He also said that this piece of jade has been in his house for two days, and it is regarded as a treasure. It is a magic weapon. Ask the villain to tell the master to take it with him in the future, saying that it is his own jade. There is something good, we asked him what is the good thing? He didn’t answer, he just hummed and sang a little tune and left.”
He Gu smiled and said, "Really?"
I didn't care too much about it, I just took the jade pendant and didn't think about it anymore.
He Gu flipped through the roster compiled by Guanshi Liu, from the beginning to the end, but finally frowned slightly, looked up at Guanshi Liu, and said, "Is the name on this roster...all lower?"
Although it is said that men should be married at a low level and women should be married at a high level, but Guanshi Liu sorted out this pamphlet. All the daughters of officials in Beijing, even in Beijing, seventh rank or below, and even merchants who do business, are not He Gu worships the high and low, and dislikes these girls' family background, but He Gu himself thinks that the most important thing in a marriage is to be able to love each other, and the husband and wife get along well. No matter how he thinks his sister is the best, he and his sister also have common topics, can read and practice calligraphy together, and can practice swords and knives together.
Brother Cheng has been in the books of sages and sages since he was a child. He is very talented, and most of his favorites are also educated, reasonable, gentle and generous women, but the daughter of such a small official family, or even the daughter of a businessman... let alone read, he can read a few words It's hard to say, if you bump into someone who only learned female red embroidery since childhood, and his father and brother firmly believe that a woman's lack of talent is virtue... I'm afraid she won't get along well with He Cheng.
Seeing that He Gu's expression was wrong, Guanshi Liu quickly explained with a bitter face: "Actually, it's not that the villain is not easy to choose for the second young master. In the past, the old Hou also worried about the second young master's marriage, but I don't know about it. We After all, the family is honorable, so the scholarly family and Qingliu family are mostly to avoid suspicion, and they don’t want to get married with people like us. As for the honorable family of the same family, they all mind... mind that the second young master is blind. Eyes, this is... not so easy to find someone..."
He Gu was silent for a while, knowing that Guanshi Liu was right, he sighed after a while, and said, "Forget it, I don't need to worry about this matter beforehand, let me figure out a way."
He Gu thought about it, and asked the Wang family's sister-in-law tomorrow. After all, the Wang family is a scholarly family, and the teachers are full of peaches and plums. They should know more about the family than Guanshi Liu.
So he sent his servants to pay homage to Wang's family.
This day He Gu went back to the Princess Mansion and went to bed early.After washing, He Gu took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed. As soon as he lay down, he felt a tight pain in his waist. When he reached out, he found that it was the mutton jade brought to him by Manager Liu during the day. He Gu put the jade under the pillow. Sai, maybe he was too tired to worry about His Highness the past few days, as soon as his head touched the pillow, he quickly fell asleep.
Then I had a very strange dream.
In the dream, the Third Highness was dressed in a dragon robe, with stern eyes, sitting on the throne, and the Chongwen Highness, all civil and military officials bowed and knelt down, shouted long live, and bowed their heads to proclaim their ministers.
The eyebrows and eyes of the third prince in the dream are much more mature than now, and his temperament is also very different from the present, unlike the gentle, restrained and modest gentleman now, it makes people feel...
Silent, vicious... bloody on his body.
He Guxin said, it seems that His Highness the Third Highness has become his obsession now, and this is so obsessed with him. If he had a dream, instead of Sister Yu'er, he would dream that His Highness the Third Highness became the emperor.
He is really loyal to the lord, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other!
However, this dream is also a bit weird.
He Gu watched the whole day's activities of the Third Highness who became the emperor, criticizing papers, going to court, and the Third Highness in the dream was different from his emperor father. The professional accountants who want to find something hard to play cotton are all silent and dare not talk nonsense.
His Highness the Third Prince withdrew from the imperial court and went back to the Lanzheng Palace to approve the papers. Another batch passed for a long time. He Gu was clearly dreaming. Seeing him motionless, he felt a sense of boredom and wanted to fall asleep again in a dream. illusion...
It wasn't until night that someone from the palace finally held the lamp and advised him to rest so as not to hurt his eyes.
He Gu's spirit perked up slightly, and he thought, is it coming?There are 3000 beauties in the harem. I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it. I actually want to watch my brother-in-law's live erotic palace. He should just observe and learn for the future happy life with sister Yu'er.
Cough... It's really just to observe and learn.
However, Lord He Xiaohou waited secretly for a long time, but the Third Highness who was the emperor in his dream didn't call a single concubine.
In other words, he doesn't seem to have a concubine, and the respected official didn't even show the third highness the badge.
He Guzheng thought in a daze, is His Highness such an ascetic monk like an emperor?Meals are always sloppy, and at night, you have to sleep alone in abstinence and loneliness?
However, things went differently than he thought.
The Third Highness is indeed alone, but it is not considered abstinent...
Because, he actually... blasphemed himself in front of He Gu? ?It's a dream, but it's really embarrassing...
In the dream, He Gu couldn't tell where he was floating and what form he was in. Anyway, he was very close to Pei Zhaoheng on the dragon bed, and he just listened stiffly to the hoarse low panting of the Third Highness rising and falling in his ear, Then look at him...then what...
Not to mention, His Highness the Third Highness looks cold and indifferent on weekdays, but it is quite persistent, cough...
He Gu was secretly comparing the time between himself and the Third Highness, when he suddenly heard the Third Highness gasp, and a broken moan came out of his mouth...
"Sub... ring..."
He Gu: "..."
There is something wrong with this dream...
Let him out!Let him wake up! !
As soon as the third prince and the son-in-law left, a young man in brocade clothes walked out of the inner hall slowly.
When he came out of the inner hall, the crown prince didn't look up at him, he just raised his chin lazily, gestured for the position opposite him, and said, "Sit down."
This young man in brocade clothes is none other than Yue Huaimin, the eldest son of the Yue family who grew up with the crown prince.
Yue Huaimin sat down as he said, with a slightly puzzled look on his face, he asked cautiously: "Your Highness... Hasn't he not handed over the papers to the Holy Majesty and recommended the Third Highness? Why did you just give him a guarantee? Your Majesty's imperial decree is still in effect now." If not, the officials are still admonishing, His Highness may not be hopeless..."
On the couch where the two of them were sitting, there was a small mahogany case. On the case was a chessboard. The chess pieces made of white jade and jasper were clear and exquisite, intertwined on the chessboard. Just looking at the chess game, the fighting was very fierce. It is feasible. The player of chess, from the beginning to the end, is only the crown prince.
The prince twirled a jasper chess piece with two fingers, looked down at the chessboard with his cheeks in his hand, frowning in thought, and after hearing Yue Huaimin's words, he only replied: "It's all a matter of time, if you really want to make a decision I, my father, have already made a decision. These days, there are disputes between the government and the public, and hundreds of officials accept advice. My father refuses to let go. It is most likely because I have eaten the weight and made up my mind. I must send my third brother. If this is the case, anyway I can't compete, so why does Gu have to blush and embarrass me for no reason? It's better to sell the third brother as a favor."
Yue Huaimin frowned and said: "Although that's the case, the position of Fushifu is of great importance. Although you have beaten His Highness the Third Highness just now, he is not our own after all. If he finds out something and makes a fuss Get up and shake things about Jiang Luo in front of the Holy Majesty, it will be troublesome..."
The crown prince gave up his son and said: "There is Song Lao sitting in Jiangluo, it is not so easy for him to notice it, it is Wang Ting and such an old fox, it is just a little bit of fur after going there, don't you?" Ying doesn't have to scare herself, just tell him to go."
Yue Huaimin said: "Okay... Mr. Song is indeed appropriate in handling things, but I am still a little worried about whether His Majesty's move has any deep meaning... This..."
The prince was silent for a while when he heard the words, his face gradually turned cold, and he said after a while: "Father loves my aunt very much, and naturally loves her children as well. It is not surprising that the third brother will be valued by him since he returned to Beijing." .”
Yue Huaimin couldn't help but said: "That's what I thought of. If it's normal, it's enough for him to get the limelight. His Highness is not uncommon, but now...now..."
He paused at this point, a little afraid to say the next sentence.
But the crown prince picked it up half-sneering and half-jokingly, and said: "Now there is a rift between Gu and the emperor, and Gu's East Palace has also lost his holy family. Feng Ying is afraid that Gu can't live in the East Palace anymore, right?"
Yue Huaimin was taken aback, stood up and didn't dare to say anything, but was held down by the prince, the prince said: "Gu naturally knows that Feng Ying is also worried about Gu, out of kindness, Gu is not to blame you, but Gu's reserve... so For many years, I have come here trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice. In the past, there was a second child who could not get through with Gu, but now I am not afraid of multiple third children, and...Gu Zi has other plans. The third child went to Jiangluo this time, it was him He really has the ability to detect something, and he doesn't have the time to make a fuss."
Yue Huaimin said: "Your Majesty is stupid, what do you mean by His Highness's words?"
The crown prince was about to answer, but there was an announcement from an internal official in the outer hall, saying: "Your Highness, Commander Ji is here."
The crown prince couldn't help but move slightly when he heard the words, he looked at Yue Huaimin and said with a smile: "Just as I was about to tell you about this, he came back, you will pick your day."
He said to the outside of the hall, "Come in."
The door of the hall opened with a "squeak", and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, but the man didn't dare to enter the inner hall, and stopped in the outer hall.
The inner hall and the outer hall of the Eastern Palace are separated by a framed screen with beautiful pictures of mountains and rivers. This screen is embroidered by ten of the best needleworkers in Gyeonggi. , Ingenious workmanship, very delicate.
The flying snow silk is half-transparent, even through the screen, you can vaguely see the kneeling figure outside the hall, but that person never dared to raise his head, and only respectfully said: "Return to Your Highness, I have found someone, Your Highness ordered The matter... probably also found out."
The prince put down the chess piece and said, "Oh? Did you find it? Where is he? Tell me."
The person outside the screen replied: "This person is now in Luoling, and his humble position has already been checked carefully. When the eldest princess and His Highness the Third Highness were born two years ago, she was ordered to serve in Qingyu Palace. Since the Third Highness After I went to Jinling to recuperate, I have been serving the eldest princess personally, never leaving her body."
The prince said: "Are you sure it's her? Did you admit your mistake?"
The person outside the screen said: "It's her, her name is Lan Shu. I have confirmed it again and again, and I can't be wrong."
The prince laughed with great interest, thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that Gu guessed correctly... Sure enough, he said that he went to Zongshan, but the personal palace servant of the 'Emperor Sister' appeared in Luoling,'Three Brother' just in time to return to Beijing at this time..."
Yue Huaimin was at a loss, and said, "Your Highness... what are you talking about?"
The prince said: "Feng Ying still remembers that Gu told you a few days ago that there was something suspicious, and I will tell you when I find it out."
Yue Huaimin said: "Remember, what is it? Have you found out now?"
The prince said: "Back when the imperial sister was not married, she was in charge of the palace affairs, and the people in the aunt's palace were all chosen by her. These people have a very reliable mouth, and she is also very capable. After so many years, she has not had the slightest rumor. It wasn't until a few days ago that she moved to the Princess Mansion after she got married, and by chance... didn't she know about this great event."
Yue Huaimin said, "What's the big deal?"
The prince hooked his fingers, Yue Huaimin immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly listened to him, the prince said something in a low voice, he was slightly taken aback for a moment, then his pupils suddenly constricted, and he said in shock: "This... how is this possible? "
The prince said: "There is no mistake. I asked someone to go to the imperial hospital for an investigation. I did not disturb the imperial doctor who was treating my aunt. I only checked the records of the pharmacy. Although my aunt's prescriptions are all in the file, it is not easy to check. But after deducting the expenses of other medicinal materials in each palace, the remaining medicinal materials that are purchased regularly every month, I have already asked the doctor, they are all good medicines for calming the nerves, resting the mind, relieving panic and palpitations, and the pharmacy purchases these The time of things is not short, add up before and after, almost ten years."
Yue Huaimin was stunned for a while, before saying: "So...the empress..."
The crown prince was silent for a while, then suddenly he laughed mockingly in a low voice, and said, "That's right, my aunt is crazy...for so many years, my father did not hesitate to hide it from the whole world and all civil and military officials of the court because of her. He even did not hesitate to ask his own son to disguise himself as a woman to cover up for his aunt, for fear that one day, his aunt would not be able to be his queen. The emperor really has a deep affection for his aunt, and he has worked so hard..."
Yue Huaimin seldom saw him like this, so he was stunned at first, but soon he caught the key words in the prince's words, and said in surprise: "Your Highness...you...what are you talking about? Dressing up as a woman? This... this..."
He was halfway through speaking, but suddenly thought of something, he suddenly stopped, his pupils narrowed, and said: "You mean...the third highness...the eldest princess...they...they..."
Yue Huaimin is not stupid either, once he thinks in that direction, he quickly understands what the prince's words mean, he is almost speechless by this conjecture, his lips groan for a moment, for a long time, and then his throat turns into a blur. It was hard to utter a word.
"This...how is this possible, my God..."
The smile on the prince's face gradually faded away, and he picked up a jasper chess piece again, and the chess piece twirled deftly at his fingertips——
Yue Huaimin finally came to his senses, he couldn't help swallowing, and asked in a low voice: "...Then what does His Highness plan to do?"
The prince didn't answer him.
He threw the chess piece at his fingertips back into the chess box, made a crisp sound, and called out to the kneeling person outside the screen: "Bochang."
The person outside the screen kowtowed and said, "The subordinate is here."
"Just do what Gu told you before."
Hearing this, Bo Chang's back stiffened, and he couldn't help raising his head slightly, persuading him, "This...Your Highness, think twice!"
The prince said: "What? I'm afraid, Gu has guaranteed you that this matter will not be found out in the end, and Gu will protect you. Are you afraid that Gu will deceive you?"
Ji Bochang said urgently: "Your Highness has misunderstood. Your Highness owes Bochang a favor. For His Highness, Bochang is fearless even if he escapes death, and he will not hesitate to do so. But His Majesty must know about this matter, and it may even be His Majesty's instruction. If we really do this, even if the Empress Dowager is unable to sit firmly in the palace, His Majesty will guess that His Highness did it. At that time, the father-son relationship between His Highness and the Emperor will really be irreversible. I beg your Highness to think twice ah!"
Although Yue Huaimin didn't know what the crown prince was going to do, but after hearing Ji Bochang's words, he couldn't help becoming a little nervous, and said, "Your Highness, what... what are you going to do?"
The crown prince didn't answer him, but Ji Bochang, who was kneeling in the outer hall, said: "Don't worry, Gu has his own way of dealing with this matter, the emperor can't guess where Gu is coming from."
"You just have to do it, that's right... Remember to wait for the third child to arrive in Jiangluo before starting to do it."
After all, Pei Zhaoyuan was the crown prince, he insisted on going his own way, even though Ji Bochang was worried, he didn't dare to say any more, after dawdling for a long time, he still didn't see the crown prince taking back his order, so he gritted his teeth and kowtowed to accept the order, and left the palace gate.
When the door of the palace was closed, Yue Huaimin couldn't help asking: "Your Highness... are you..."
The prince turned his head and glanced at him. After a long silence, a helpless smile gradually appeared on his face, and he slowly shook his head.
The prince's voice was very low, not as if he was answering Yue Huaimin, but as if he was hypnotizing himself.
"Guben doesn't want to be like this either. The third child is a man of duty... Gu doesn't want to force him, but the Wen family and the second child are too deceptive, and the father doesn't know people well. Since you want to hit a snake, the only way to hit it is seven inches." It hurts, sitting in this position, I can no longer have everything as I wish..."
"Gu is also forced to do so."
---------------
Sure enough, the imperial decree arrived at the princess mansion soon.
The emperor personally appointed the third son of the emperor, Pei Zhaoheng, as Jiangluo Xuanfu envoy, and went to Jiangqing and Luoling to supervise the repair of river embankments and allocate relief funds and food on his behalf. He set off in three days without any mistakes.
After He Gu got the news, he knew that the Third Highness would be leaving in three days. His Highness had already promised him that he would not act rashly, so He Gu was not very worried about the errand, mainly because he was a little worried that it was going to be winter soon. Although the illness of the Third Highness seems to be fine so far, the chills are definitely different when the disease has not entered winter and it has entered winter. The Third Highness is only accompanied by Cheng Wei. After all, Cheng Wei is a man, no matter how much he cares , is always not as fine as a woman's care of others.
Then he called Lan Xiao back from the shop, and helped him pick out a few maidservants who were prudent and meticulous, and asked him to go with the Third Highness, and told them to take good care of them.
In addition, after taking out the two new clothes made for the third highness a few days ago, He Gu still felt that they were too thin. After all, the third highness was weak and afraid of the cold, and Jiangluo was damp and cold in winter, but the ordinary winter clothes might not be useful, so he ran again I went to my own silk and satin shop, picked out good thermal materials from it, bought a piece of fox fur out of my own pocket, and asked Fuzhong Xiuniang to make several winter clothes overnight, and specially added a thick layer of velvet to the neckline and cuffs. To block the wind, I changed the fox fur into a cloak according to the shoulder width of His Highness the Third Highness, and that's all.
Worrying about what to wear was not enough, so He Gu called two more servants, together with Zheng Ye, and went to a dry food store in the east of the city, and packed a portion of candied fruit, dried meat, sugar-fried chestnuts, and melon seeds. , When I went there, I was empty-handed, but when I came back, all four of them carried big bags and small bags in their hands, and they returned with a full load——
They are all snacks prepared for His Highness on the way.
In fact, when Sister Yu'er left, if she hadn't left suddenly, He Gu would probably have come like this——
No, if she hadn't left suddenly... He Gu wouldn't have let her go.
Lan Xiao watched from the sidelines, completely amazed, and said sincerely: "My son-in-law really cares about His Highness the Third Highness, so delicate, even if another woman who handles things safely comes, it may not be as thoughtful as my son-in-law."
And so quickly.
In just three days, the son-in-law has already prepared enough winter clothes, cloaks, and scarves for the three highnesses to spend a whole winter. In addition, there are snacks that can be eaten along the way, charcoal fires that may be used, and even Mrs. Tang It's all packed...
Where can I find such a caring brother-in-law?
He Guxin said, of course he has to eat some snacks, after all, he will have to rely on his brother-in-law for a soft meal in the future, so he must hurry up to curry favor with him while he is not developed yet. , Don't forget each other" isn't it?
On the fourth day, when Pei Zhaoheng set off, he saw the chariots and horses, servants, and seven or eight boxes prepared for him by the Princess Mansion, so he couldn't help being a little dazed.
Turning his head again, he looked at He Gu who was standing in front of the princess mansion, watching him rubbing his hands back and forth and laughing.
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, He Gu thought he thought he was meddling, and explained a little nervously: "Actually, I also know that His Highness is a prince, and this trip is an imperial envoy, so it is impossible for him to be neglected, but these are all things I have done. A little thought, your highness is better than not wearing it, the clothes are very warm, and you have everything you need to eat, your highness is not in good health, you have to take good care of it, don't be careless."
Pei Zhaoheng looked down at him: "Yes."
After a pause, he said again: "Zihuan is in Beijing... and take good care of herself."
He Gu's facial features are originally the handsome and upright type, as long as he smiles from the heart, he will appear extraordinarily sincere, extraordinarily clean, and extraordinarily... touching. I know, I introspected, when His Highness finishes his work over there, at the end of the year, when His Highness comes back to Beijing, Sister Yuer should also come back, and then we will celebrate New Year’s Eve together and have a New Year’s Eve dinner!"
The sun came out today, and the weather was fine. Under the bright sky, the unique childishness of He Gu's eyebrows and his hearty smile combined into a kind of attraction that Pei Zhaoheng could hardly resist. She couldn't help but lowered her head and kissed him in the morning sunlight.
...but he finally held back.
However, He Gu didn't notice everything. In his eyes, His Highness the Third Highness just lowered his eyes, and his slender eyelashes trembled slightly.
Pei Zhaoheng said: "Okay."
……time to go.
Pei Zhaoheng's footsteps paused, he closed his eyes, and was about to turn around and leave when someone grabbed his hand under his sleeve.
The master who held his hand had a higher body temperature than him.
Zihuan's hand was not as big as his, but to Pei Zhaoheng, the palm of that hand was so hot that his heart beat faster.
He Gu lowered his head and stuffed something into his hand. When Pei Zhaoheng saw it, it turned out to be an amulet folded into a triangle.
He Xiaohou clasped his hands together, his eyes were very devout: "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Your Highness's trip will definitely go smoothly!"
I muttered in my heart, whoever makes troubles will rebound!Bounce!
Only then did He Gu let go of his hand, and said solemnly: "I bought this talisman for 50 taels a piece, it's very expensive! It must be very effective. Your Highness must take it with you, and all evils will be scattered!"
Pei Zhaoheng laughed.
He said: "Okay, I will definitely take it."
The two of them bid farewell, and the chariot and horse team set off on the long street. He Gu stopped to watch for a while, and then went home.
After three days of busy work, I was able to take a breather after seeing off the Third Highness.
But there's still something going on.
He had a sip of tea at the Princess Mansion, rested for a while, and then went out again to the Marquis Mansion of Changyang.
Wan Shu'er is gone, and the reason he was worried at the beginning is gone. He originally intended to take He Rong home from Yan Mansion, but after all, he has been living in Yan Mansion, and his grandfather and grandmother are getting old, so it's not good to bother her.
Unexpectedly, when he was going to pick him up, his grandmother, Mrs. Yan, refused to obey her life and death. She insisted on keeping her little granddaughter as a companion in Yan's mansion. She only said to He Gu, "Rong'er is a girl after all, so it's better for a girl's family to take care of her. Now you and Cheng'er are the only ones in the Hou's mansion, and her sister-in-law is far away in Zongshan, so she can't control her. It's better to stay here at my grandmother's house. In short, you can rest assured that she will be fat and fat, and she won't be wronged at all. "
He Gu was helpless, and said: "This... always bothers the elders, I don't do my best as an elder brother, I feel really sorry..."
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Yan's expression became solemn and she said: "You say you have to do your best, but there is something that your elder brother should do. Now that she is getting older, she should also be careful for your younger sister. Your grandfather and I... really don't know how to choose a son-in-law, and we don't know people well, so we won't get involved this time. Just keep your eyes open, the important thing is that Gu'er, the older brother, will pick her carefully, and it will take a few years to get started. Prepare a dowry for Rong'er, give her a head start, and get married smoothly, so that you won't waste your time."
He Gu scratched his head and said, "Rong'er is only ten years old, isn't it too early?"
Mrs. Yan scolded with a smile: "Girls are naturally different from wild boys like you. Naturally, important events in life must be done early and meticulously! You think it's too early. By then, all the good boys who are about the same age in Beijing will be booked by other girls. , Tell your sister to stay at home alone and not be able to marry to become the king of the mountain? Or a female general?"
He Gu couldn't help but make Lao Madam Yan amused, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just pick Rong'er as soon as I get back."
Mrs. Yan laughed again: "It's not just Rong'er, Cheng'er is almost fourteen, you are the head of the family now, you should remember that, don't just marry your own wife and forget about your younger brothers and sisters .”
That day when He Gu was nagging at Mrs. Yan so much, he couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly agreed, and Mrs. Yan gave up.
He went back to Hou's mansion today just for this matter.
Regardless of He Rong's marriage for the time being, He Cheng is indeed about the age, and he should take care of himself as a big brother. Before, he asked Manager Liu to help manage the name of the official lady in Jingzhong and Cheng's younger brother. In the past few days I have been busy with the affairs of the Third Highness, until now I have time to go back and look at it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the mansion and sat down in the main hall, Guanshi Liu handed him the roster and took out a jade pendant from his pocket.
When He Gu saw that piece of mutton fat jade, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback——
Isn't this... the day before he married Sister Yu'er, he exchanged it for that Taoist priest who sold amulets?
Guanshi Liu said: "My lord, a Taoist priest came to the mansion yesterday and said that he wanted to exchange this piece of jade for 500 taels of silver. You promised him. The villain asked Mr. Cen, the accountant, and he said that my lord was a few months ago. , it seems that such a thing was indeed ordered, so we exchanged the silver to the Taoist priest, this jade pendant... should belong to the master, right?"
He Gu accepted the jade pendant, looked at it and said: "It is indeed mine... I did promise that Taoist priest that I can use this jade pendant to exchange for 500 taels of silver at the accountant in the mansion."
It's just that it's been so long... Why did he come to change?When he sold the amulets back then, didn't he look like he was in a hurry to spend money?
Then he asked, "Didn't he say why he came to change it now?"
Liu Guanshi said: "Mr. Cen asked, why did the master tell him to come to pick up the money after a few months? The Taoist priest is also very interesting, he only said that he went home and slept, and accidentally overslept. It's too late, but who can go home and sleep for a few months?"
Guanshi Liu shook his head with a smile: "This Taoist looks crazy, what else is he talking about..."
He Gu took the jade pendant, and was thinking that the Taoist priest was indeed insane, but he had read a lot of Yan Zhiya's scriptures these days, and none of the experts in it were normal, so he asked Yan Zhiya, "Mr. "Answer: If an expert is not at all different from ordinary people, then he can still be called an expert with a hammer."
... quite reasonable.
He Gu didn't care too much about whether the Taoist priest was fooling him or not. He felt that he believed it or not. After hearing the second half of Liu Guanshi's words, he just asked with a casual smile, "What else did he say?"
Guanshi Liu laughed twice, and said: "He also said that this piece of jade has been in his house for two days, and it is regarded as a treasure. It is a magic weapon. Ask the villain to tell the master to take it with him in the future, saying that it is his own jade. There is something good, we asked him what is the good thing? He didn’t answer, he just hummed and sang a little tune and left.”
He Gu smiled and said, "Really?"
I didn't care too much about it, I just took the jade pendant and didn't think about it anymore.
He Gu flipped through the roster compiled by Guanshi Liu, from the beginning to the end, but finally frowned slightly, looked up at Guanshi Liu, and said, "Is the name on this roster...all lower?"
Although it is said that men should be married at a low level and women should be married at a high level, but Guanshi Liu sorted out this pamphlet. All the daughters of officials in Beijing, even in Beijing, seventh rank or below, and even merchants who do business, are not He Gu worships the high and low, and dislikes these girls' family background, but He Gu himself thinks that the most important thing in a marriage is to be able to love each other, and the husband and wife get along well. No matter how he thinks his sister is the best, he and his sister also have common topics, can read and practice calligraphy together, and can practice swords and knives together.
Brother Cheng has been in the books of sages and sages since he was a child. He is very talented, and most of his favorites are also educated, reasonable, gentle and generous women, but the daughter of such a small official family, or even the daughter of a businessman... let alone read, he can read a few words It's hard to say, if you bump into someone who only learned female red embroidery since childhood, and his father and brother firmly believe that a woman's lack of talent is virtue... I'm afraid she won't get along well with He Cheng.
Seeing that He Gu's expression was wrong, Guanshi Liu quickly explained with a bitter face: "Actually, it's not that the villain is not easy to choose for the second young master. In the past, the old Hou also worried about the second young master's marriage, but I don't know about it. We After all, the family is honorable, so the scholarly family and Qingliu family are mostly to avoid suspicion, and they don’t want to get married with people like us. As for the honorable family of the same family, they all mind... mind that the second young master is blind. Eyes, this is... not so easy to find someone..."
He Gu was silent for a while, knowing that Guanshi Liu was right, he sighed after a while, and said, "Forget it, I don't need to worry about this matter beforehand, let me figure out a way."
He Gu thought about it, and asked the Wang family's sister-in-law tomorrow. After all, the Wang family is a scholarly family, and the teachers are full of peaches and plums. They should know more about the family than Guanshi Liu.
So he sent his servants to pay homage to Wang's family.
This day He Gu went back to the Princess Mansion and went to bed early.After washing, He Gu took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed. As soon as he lay down, he felt a tight pain in his waist. When he reached out, he found that it was the mutton jade brought to him by Manager Liu during the day. He Gu put the jade under the pillow. Sai, maybe he was too tired to worry about His Highness the past few days, as soon as his head touched the pillow, he quickly fell asleep.
Then I had a very strange dream.
In the dream, the Third Highness was dressed in a dragon robe, with stern eyes, sitting on the throne, and the Chongwen Highness, all civil and military officials bowed and knelt down, shouted long live, and bowed their heads to proclaim their ministers.
The eyebrows and eyes of the third prince in the dream are much more mature than now, and his temperament is also very different from the present, unlike the gentle, restrained and modest gentleman now, it makes people feel...
Silent, vicious... bloody on his body.
He Guxin said, it seems that His Highness the Third Highness has become his obsession now, and this is so obsessed with him. If he had a dream, instead of Sister Yu'er, he would dream that His Highness the Third Highness became the emperor.
He is really loyal to the lord, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other!
However, this dream is also a bit weird.
He Gu watched the whole day's activities of the Third Highness who became the emperor, criticizing papers, going to court, and the Third Highness in the dream was different from his emperor father. The professional accountants who want to find something hard to play cotton are all silent and dare not talk nonsense.
His Highness the Third Prince withdrew from the imperial court and went back to the Lanzheng Palace to approve the papers. Another batch passed for a long time. He Gu was clearly dreaming. Seeing him motionless, he felt a sense of boredom and wanted to fall asleep again in a dream. illusion...
It wasn't until night that someone from the palace finally held the lamp and advised him to rest so as not to hurt his eyes.
He Gu's spirit perked up slightly, and he thought, is it coming?There are 3000 beauties in the harem. I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it. I actually want to watch my brother-in-law's live erotic palace. He should just observe and learn for the future happy life with sister Yu'er.
Cough... It's really just to observe and learn.
However, Lord He Xiaohou waited secretly for a long time, but the Third Highness who was the emperor in his dream didn't call a single concubine.
In other words, he doesn't seem to have a concubine, and the respected official didn't even show the third highness the badge.
He Guzheng thought in a daze, is His Highness such an ascetic monk like an emperor?Meals are always sloppy, and at night, you have to sleep alone in abstinence and loneliness?
However, things went differently than he thought.
The Third Highness is indeed alone, but it is not considered abstinent...
Because, he actually... blasphemed himself in front of He Gu? ?It's a dream, but it's really embarrassing...
In the dream, He Gu couldn't tell where he was floating and what form he was in. Anyway, he was very close to Pei Zhaoheng on the dragon bed, and he just listened stiffly to the hoarse low panting of the Third Highness rising and falling in his ear, Then look at him...then what...
Not to mention, His Highness the Third Highness looks cold and indifferent on weekdays, but it is quite persistent, cough...
He Gu was secretly comparing the time between himself and the Third Highness, when he suddenly heard the Third Highness gasp, and a broken moan came out of his mouth...
"Sub... ring..."
He Gu: "..."
There is something wrong with this dream...
Let him out!Let him wake up! !
