Fake concubine, real queen

For a moment, He Gu almost thought that Yan Zhiya had seen through his thoughts.

But after a while, he felt that he must have thought too much. After all, he had been away from Beijing for half a year and had just returned. In the eyes of others, he should still be an infatuated concubine mourning for his wife. Yan Zhiya should not have imagined that, The friend he was talking about was himself, and it was even more unexpected that the other person was the Third Highness.

He Gu settled down, opened his eyes and said nonsense, and said firmly: "It is indeed a friend of mine."

Yan Zhiya was silent for a while when she heard the words, and said: "Okay, then you can be regarded as a friend of Young Master Hou, what can Master Hou want to ask me for him?"

He Gudao: "My friend has been dreaming about that person for several months, and he has been troubled a lot, but something happened to him a few days ago, and now he has figured it out. It is not a solution to always be indulging in dreams. I plan to stop pestering him any longer, and stop thinking about his friend, but if I really want to let go... I will inevitably feel a little unwilling, and I don't know how to let go..."

Yan Zhiya said: "Why do you have to let go?"

He Gu was stunned, Yan Zhiya's question made him feel very unreasonable, the person he was thinking about was the emperor's own son, maybe he would take a step closer in the future, when the Third Highness's wife and concubine Countless, he naturally had no choice but to give up.

Then he replied: "I said just now that the person my friend likes is honorable, and he will definitely marry a wife and have children in the future, and he will continue to live in his family. Although my friend has the heart, he is unwilling to work with others of."

Yan Zhiya said: "How does he know that he will definitely work with others in the future? Maybe the person whom Hou Ye's friend loves doesn't have such thoughts at all? Did Hou Ye's friend ask himself, how can it be like this affim?"

He Gu was stunned, and then said after a long while: "This... he really never asked, but how could he ask about such a thing? The habit of breaking sleeves... After all, it's not a great way, so it would be too abrupt to ask rashly. ... If such things are really intentional, you can always detect it, and my friend also thinks that he likes that person...that person..."

He paused at this point, and suddenly realized that Pei Zhaoheng confessed his love to him, not only that, but also took the initiative to kiss him in the corridor of the princess mansion. Between the two of them, Pei Zhaoheng has always been the one who took the initiative. And the one who hesitated from beginning to end, who was uncertain about advancing and retreating, was himself.

Yan Zhiya said solemnly: "What? Could it be that the young master told Lord Hou's friends in a clear and clear sentence that he would marry a wife and have children in the future, and wives and concubines would not be in groups? If he hadn't said it, no matter what his status was, , this friend of Lord Hou only judges others based on his own heart, isn’t he a bit arbitrary? Since he has fallen in love with others so much, why don’t he ask a clear question and get a trustworthy one? It’s embarrassing, but if everything is wrong I didn't make it clear, and he is not a roundworm in the stomach of Master Hou's friend, how can I know what he is worried about?"

"If Master Hou asks your friend to ask in person, the matter between two people must be explained clearly by two people. Outsiders like us, it doesn't matter what we say. As long as Master Hou's friend asks, if If someone has the same heart as him, they can naturally have the same heart, and they will fly together in the future. Even if it doesn't work, it will be considered an effort. Fate is a matter of destiny, and Lord Hou doesn't have to... Uh, I mean, Lord Hou's friend Don’t be too sad about it.”

He Gu: "..."

Than... Flying together? ?

Flying together with the Third Highness, this... this sounds not bad...

Master He Xiaohou couldn't help swallowing.

He had never had this kind of thought in his previous life, so he couldn't help being dazed for a moment.

Miss Yan is worthy of being the one who wrote stacks of Longyang dialect books. Her words are so bright and transparent that it is almost as if those entangled and irritable things in Master He Xiaohou's heart, which are constantly cutting and chaotic What happened suddenly became simple and clear.

... It seems that there are some things that the authorities are really confused about, but the onlookers are clear about. If you can't see clearly, you will inevitably look forward and backward. If you look forward and backward, you will only become more and more scruples about this and that, so you will become more confused and more trapped.

He Gu lost his mind for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "What the girl said makes sense..."

Just thinking about it, if Yan Zhiya really followed what Yan Zhiya said, wouldn't he have to explain everything to His Highness the Third Highness himself, and then ask for a clear answer?

How should I ask?

Will the prince want to break the sleeve with me?

Will the prince be willing to never marry for my life?

No, it's not just about not marrying for life, but He Gu has a good idea of ​​how much jealousy he can have. He should ask: Is the lord willing to stop looking at other women for the sake of me... No, not only women, but also men. ?

Will the prince be willing to die for me?

Lord Tian... I always feel that asking these questions in front of His Highness the Third Highness might be a bit embarrassing...

But...but today he has already humbly asked Miss Yan for advice from a woman, and she can be so straightforward, if he is still a mother-in-law and hesitant, wouldn't he be worse than a girl?

Master He Xiaohou was ruthless, gritted his teeth——

Forget it, just ask!

Now that "All wishes come true" is gone, he will no longer be able to dream and hypnotize himself, and become paralyzed, even though the third prince in reality may not be like the third prince in the dream, who will obey him whatever he wants... …

But...but he should try it too!

Just like at the beginning, he wanted to marry the "Eldest Princess" wholeheartedly. Now the Third Highness is still the Third Highness, the person he fell in love with at first sight on the long street. There is no reason to treat the "Eldest Princess". His Highness has to be timid.

the most important is……

When the Third Highness was still the "Eldest Princess", the night before his departure, he had already had a physical relationship with the Third Highness, which caused his ass to suffer. If he is still so cowardly now, would it be worthy of the Third Highness's ass?Is he still a man?

The more He Gu thought about it, the more he made up his mind, the situation on his face was changing, Yan Zhiya didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything for a long time, Yan Zhiya could only cough dryly, and called him: "...Hou Ye? "

He Gu came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Yan Zhiya, this time he sincerely thanked "Mr. Yi Gu" for his advice, and said sincerely: "What the girl said is so reasonable, I will tell you when I go back. my friend."

Yan Zhiya's expression was a little subtle when he heard the words, first he laughed a few times, and then said meaningfully after a long while: "Small things... are just small things, why bother to say thank you, as long as Hou Ye's friends can think about it and don't go into the horns, they will be better than others." Everything is fine."

After a pause, he couldn't help reminding, saying: "This... what I said just now is not perfect, although it is necessary to ask, but after asking, if..."

Before she finished speaking, He Gu said clearly: "Girl, you don't need to say anything, I understand everything."

He understands, since he wants to confess, he must choose a good day and auspicious day, dress up like a human being, and then speak with emotion and reason, and he can't force it without paying attention to everything, right?

He understands everything.

Yan Zhiya: "..."

Yan Zhiya is so smart, just now when He Gu opened his mouth, she already guessed a lot, who is the friend that the young master said, and who is the friend he admired in the conversation? There is a personal choice, but if it is really that one...

It is estimated that Xiao Houye's inquiry and confession will probably be successful, and it will be smooth sailing.

After all, when the Third Highness had just returned to Beijing, the Young Master asked her to see a doctor for the Third Highness, and the Third Highness stuffed her with money and a small note, and asked her to help fool the Young Master... saying that he did have some minor ailments, don't Tell the young master to know that His Highness the Third Highness has nothing to do with him, his body is so strong that he can't be more vigorous...

If you are not sick and pretend to be sick, you still have to fool Lord He. Isn't this a trick, just to show pity in front of others and show concern?

... It's an old routine, she knows it, she knows it all.

If it is said that Yan Zhiya was still a little uncertain at that time, I don't know whether it was because she had too much brain power, or if it really made her smell the clues...

Afterwards, the intimate behavior between these two people, including the song "I have a friend" sung by the young master, basically confirmed this guess.

Since it was a matter of mutual consent, how could Lord Hou return home without a feather?

She originally wanted to remind the young master to pay attention, and don't ask the third prince to catch him once the confession is successful, and he will be punished on the spot...

But looking at his confident appearance, I think he knows it well, right?

Then she will not talk too much.

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

The Xishan Bow and Horse Conference is coming soon, but the emperor in the palace does not have the slightest joy of going out for fun.

The emperor sat in the tea room in the side hall of the Lanzheng Palace, with a pot of bluegrass placed on the table in front of him. He rolled up his sleeves, and while tending the bluegrass, he listened to the reply of a military officer dressed as a commander who returned from the hall.

The military officer finished speaking cautiously, but he didn't hear the emperor's answer for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This time, the emperor ordered him to go to Zongshan, and the facts he investigated were of great importance.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he said: "...Oh? Then you mean that the massacre of the temple has something to do with Chenghe guarding the camp?"

The military officer quickly replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, I don't dare to make wild guesses, but after being ordered by Your Majesty to investigate, everything is indeed suspicious. I have carefully questioned all the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and they all said Around the New Year's Eve, when the incident happened, there was indeed a group of horse bandits who rushed up Zongshan Mountain, and within half a day, they rode down the mountain and left."

"The villagers all said that there were more than a hundred horse bandits that day. They walked neatly and quickly, and they seemed to be well-trained, but ordinary horse bandits are always making trouble. How could there be so many? If it was true If you count the number and take over the mountain to cause disaster, people with humble positions will be able to find out the root cause, how can it be like the world evaporates afterwards, and you can't find out in a radius of three hundred miles. There is such a group of horse bandits?"

"They went up the mountain for half a day. Although they killed all the aunts in the temple and killed all the survivors, when they left the mountain, they saw the villagers along the way, but they turned a blind eye. They didn't burn, kill or loot. They just hurried to leave before the heavy snow closed the mountain. It seems that they are going to the Lianhua Temple, and they deliberately chose to do it when the snow is about to close the mountain, and it is also to leave no hoofprints or traces behind the snow."

"Although horse bandits are raging outside the pass, they are mostly infested in the late autumn and early winter, but this group of horse bandits is a three-ninth incident. Lianhua Temple is a pure place for Buddhism, and it is also when the first emperor was in power. In the place of cultivation, there is also the forbidden army accompanied by His Royal Highness the Princess, stationed at the foot of Zongshan Mountain, ordinary bandits will take a detour when they see it, how can you be so bold?"

"But this group of people is not only not afraid, but actually killed all the accompanying imperial troops who were stationed at the foot of the mountain that day. Those imperial troops were sent by His Majesty himself, and all of them have real skills. What kind of horse bandits can fight against them?" Rivalry? What kind of horse bandits, in such a cold weather with heavy snow, will destroy the place of pure cultivation of Buddhism?"

The hand of the emperor who was tending the orchid grass paused in the air, his face was neither sad nor happy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

That's all for the military officer to say, and he took out another black thing from his arms, and offered it up.

The emperor took the thing, frowned and said, "What is this?"

The military officer said: "This is after the massacre of Lianhua Temple, the gang of horse bandits set fire to the temple and left the burnt residue of the roof beam."

The emperor said: "What's the name?"

The military officer said: "Please also ask your majesty to condescend to take a sniff."

The emperor was stunned when he heard the words, but he still lowered his head and smelled the black charcoal according to the words. He frowned and said, "It smells like kerosene, but...it seems to be different from the smell of ordinary kerosene after burning. ..."

The military officer said: "Your Majesty, this is the dry machine gun unique to the Chenghe guard camp. The smell of the special kerosene used is indeed different from ordinary kerosene. Your Majesty can find any soldier who has operated the dry machine gun at will. I can smell it."

The emperor was completely stunned when he heard this.

The kerosene used for artillery fire in the army is specially made by the imperial government's yamen, and it is absolutely impossible for such forbidden weapons to flow out, let alone appear among the people.

The emperor sent someone to investigate the Tusi case in Beidi. Now it seems that the evidence has been conclusive, and all the evidence points to Chenghe guarding the camp——

Or the subsequent Uncle Wen and King Zhongjun.

The emperor was silent.

The military officer knelt down and kowtowed, raised his head and said earnestly: "The Chenghe camp is stationed in the northern border, and it is the strongest line of defense in the northern border of the country. Although the northern border has been considered peaceful in recent years, it is impossible to live in peace." Don't be in danger, Your Majesty! Although the old Marquis of the He family is incompetent in his family affairs, he is in chaos... It is true, but when he was the general of the Beiying, the Chenghe Camp had strict discipline and strict orders. How could he be so lax in governing the army , the soldiers burned, killed, looted, and brought harm to the people?"

Holding the teacup, the emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, he looked down at the military officer who was still kneeling in the hall, and suddenly said: "You don't have to do that, I'm not old enough to be so old, I don't need to make such obtrusive mentions." Click on me, I can see that this is not strict military governance? It is clearly deliberate and deliberate."

The military officer paused, and kowtowed again: "I don't dare to be humble, and I just report the truth. It's up to His Majesty's Sacred Heart to decide what the truth is."

The emperor stared at the slim bluegrass in the flowerpot, lost his mind for a while, and then heaved a long sigh, and said, "Qiu Shan... tell me... my children, have they all grown up..."

Li Qiushan didn't dare to answer.

Three days later, the emperor personally issued an imperial decree, Xishan bow horse meeting, the prince and King Ke accompanied him to Xishan, and the king stayed in Beijing, assisting the six ministries and supervising the country.

As soon as the news spread, there was an uproar in the government and the people. Without him, according to the old rule of this dynasty, the emperor left Beijing, and most of the people who stayed in Beijing to supervise the country were princes. The king's prince supervises the country...

There is no such old case.

If it were normal, the officials would definitely have to give a memorial to accept the remonstrance, persuade the emperor to follow the old rules, and persuade the emperor to think twice before acting, but this time the officials hesitated.

Without him, the Xishan Bow and Horse Ceremony, to put it bluntly, is a military exercise in disguise every three years of the Dayue Dynasty, and it is also a first-class grand event celebration. No matter which prince the emperor is willing to take with him, it is a matter of great honor and favor After all, the Bow and Horse Conference is the best opportunity to get acquainted with the young generals who are about to be promoted in the future——

But this is also a hidden danger, because whether it is the prince or the prince, once he makes friends with generals, he may have the possibility of embracing troops and making trouble in the future. Therefore, the emperors of the Pei family used to be very cautious when taking the prince to the horse bow meeting , who are not particularly favored, hardly need to think of such an opportunity.

Even before, the emperor had never brought the crown prince there.

So if it is said that His Highness the Crown Prince has lost his sacred heart, it doesn't look like it, so why would the Emperor be willing to take him to the conference?

But if it is said that the sacred heart has not been lost, the sensitive task of supervising the country will be handed over to King Zhong. The ministers have not forgotten what King Zhong committed a year ago. How capable is he? The ministers also knew in their hearts that it was only half a year before His Majesty entrusted him with an important task.

For a moment, the ministers couldn't tell who was more preferred by His Majesty.

After making a fuss, it was His Royal Highness Ke who made no sound from the beginning to the end. He had no sense of existence, and almost no one noticed him.

However, there is another reason. Half a year ago, His Majesty reassigned errands to the three princes. King Ke got the most tiring and most unflattering Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry. They were all in charge of errands that could kill people, not river repairs. , is to clean up and inspect unjust prisons, and it is far incomparable with the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, who are in charge of the promotion, transfer, and preparation of money and food for officials in the Manchu Dynasty. The work is tiring, if one is not paying attention, if he can't do it well, he will have to take the blame for the unjust prisons and floods in the huge territory of Dayue Dynasty.

On the contrary, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households each allocated one to the prince and King Zhong to supervise, which is very fair.

Not only that, but the mansion given to His Royal Highness King Ke is also very eccentric. Although it is located in the west of the city, it is a good location, but it is really not that big. King Ke's sister's princess mansion also looks shabby.

All the ministers sighed in their hearts, after all, he was a prince who grew up outside Beijing. Even if His Majesty is hindered by etiquette, he was made a prince by the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, and he reluctantly let him overwhelm the loyal king, but if you don’t kiss, you won’t Dear, apart from such a title, which of the mansions and errands His Majesty assigned to the second son is not better than this unlucky third son?

In addition, King Ke has been a recognized model worker since he returned to Beijing, working diligently and hardworking.

First, he treated the Jiangluo flood for two or three months, and he didn't have time to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. Now he was assigned to the hard work of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, but he just did it dully. He was buried in the second office and was often busy until midnight. He has just returned to the palace, but he never asks for credit or flattery on weekdays. Occasionally someone can't stand it, and praises him to His Majesty, and His Highness King Ke will reply in a respectful voice with a very low eyebrow, saying that he dare not take credit for himself. It is said that he has not been back to Beijing for a long time, and he is not familiar with government affairs. He has doubts on weekdays, so he went to ask his elder brother and the prince for advice, so that he could barely make any mistakes.

In addition, he never stands out on weekdays, almost like an invisible person.

He seems to be an honest man who supports the eldest brother of the crown prince, without any extravagant thoughts or transgressive heart, how he looks at his duty.

It's very different from the second child who is messing around all day long.

But even though King Ke is like this and has a favored empress mother, because he was raised outside Beijing since he was a child and has no relationship with His Majesty, he has not received many praises or rewards.

It can be seen that everything is false, and the most important thing is to win the favor of Junfu.

It even makes people think that even though the eldest princess who has passed away is a woman, she is more valued by His Majesty than her younger brother who is not loved by her father and mother... er, mother is still loved.

So all the ministers looked at the despised His Royal Highness Ke, and their eyes couldn't help becoming more loving.

His Majesty will bring him to the Xishan Bow and Horse Conference this time, probably after watching this little son work hard for more than half a year, he finally discovered his conscience, right?

Chen House.

There is a wooden chess board on the table, the prince and his uncle sit and play against each other.

The prince gave up a son and said: "It's still interesting to play chess with my uncle. Others either deliberately lose to Gu, or they don't dare to play against Gu. It's really boring."

Chen Guojiu said with a smile: "Your Highness, why bother about this? They just don't dare to offend His Highness. If they win the game, they are afraid that His Highness will be unhappy. If they don't play well enough, they are afraid that His Highness will feel that they are perfunctory and annoyed." here."

The prince sighed when he heard the words, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Uncle's words are true...the king's heart is unpredictable, and the left and right are the servants' faults. No matter what you do, you can't please it. It is indeed not easy to be a servant."

He is the crown prince, the crown prince of a country, above ten thousand people, and only under the father of the emperor. It is obvious who the prince is in the words of the prince.

Chen Guojiu said: "Your Highness is worrying about the Xishan Horse Bow Conference?"

The prince twirled the chess piece and looked up at his uncle, and said with a smile, "Uncle knows who knows me."

Uncle Chen Guo also laughed, and said: "Actually, in my opinion, His Highness does not need to worry too much. His Majesty's move may be just for balance. If His Highness lost his Sacred Heart, how could His Highness bring His Highness down?" What about the Bow and Horse Conference?"

The crown prince sighed: "Even if the father and the emperor go to the horse bow meeting with Gu, it doesn't mean anything. Let's see, uncle, the third brother will also go, how sacred is he?"

Chen Guojiu said: "Hey, what Your Highness said is wrong. How can King Ke and His Highness be the same? What is his identity, and what is His Highness's identity? You are the Prince of the Eastern Palace raised by Your Majesty since childhood. You have just turned one year old. Then he immediately announced to the world that your majesty does not regard you as the heir of the state. Although King Ke...is also from the empress, how can he be compared to your highness who was born from the empress of the Yuan Dynasty? "

The prince was silent for a while, but said: "That's what I'm worried about."

"In the past, the father and the orphan were so close, but since the day of the orphan's mother's memorial day last year, he said a few words for her... Gu just felt that no matter whether the father loved the aunt or the mother, since he set up a mother She was a concubine, and her successor stepmother was also the legitimate empress of the Yuan Dynasty, but she died in Kunze Palace for no reason at that time. After so many years, there was still no explanation. When I asked, she said it was a sudden illness. I just wanted to ask my father to give my mother a posthumous title worthy of her status, but my father pushed back repeatedly, and I couldn't hold back for a while, and said something..."

He paused for a moment, with a bit of gloom between his brows, before he said after a while: "...Father was furious. After so many years, this is the first time that Father is so angry with Gu Sheng."

"Uncle, what happened back then, why even you didn't want to tell the orphan, how the queen mother left, I don't believe the emperor's words, and I don't believe their words either."

Uncle Chen Guo was silent for a while, fell silent, and the room was silent.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the crown prince asked again, "Uncle?"

Uncle Chen Guo let out a long sigh and said, "Your Highness, you should stop asking about this matter, and don't bring it up before His Majesty. As for what happened that year, I can only tell Your Highness. The former empress, she... She did something stupid, it was a scandal, and it made His Majesty Long Yan furious. Separated from His Majesty, father and son."

"Last year the Holy Majesty was so angry, it is enough to explain the problem. Now the Holy Majesty has finally calmed down, and has restored his old love to His Highness. God's grace is hard to find, His Highness must cherish it."

The prince was silent for a while, then suddenly let out a low laugh. He didn't know what he was laughing at. After a while, he said: "...the father loves my aunt very much, because of my aunt, I don't think about tea and food. When my aunt is sick, I have to accompany her every day." Looking at her, now in order to let my aunt relax, even the Bow and Horse Assembly is willing to make an exception and take her there, but the lonely queen mother, Gu can't even ask, how did she die?"

"Is the father too partial?"

Uncle Chen Guo's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you must not be too foolish, no matter what, now the Empress is also His Royal Highness's aunt, and she is also from our Chen family. Xiao Ye loves His Highness very much. It is a good thing for her to be pampered by His Highness, which is better than that of Concubine Wen, right? His Royal Highness King Ke Ke, I think he is also a good boy who is obedient and courteous. He really admires His Highness, his elder brother. Now He has no Sacred Heart, His Highness should take advantage of this time to get close to him for a while, and he will become His Highness's help in the future, right?"

The prince was silent for a while, and said: "Third brother, it is indeed a duty."

Chen Guojiu said: "That's right. I was worried. Last year when he went to Jiangluo to treat disasters, His Highness only told him that he might not buy it. Now it seems that after all, when he was young, he was always stubborn with His Highness. Although we were separated After all these years, he is still close. He obeyed His Highness’s instructions when doing things in Jiangluo, and nothing happened. I got him out of Beijing at the beginning... I was too careless. Alas, now it seems that he is really uneasy. Still the King of Loyalty."

The crown prince heard the words and said: "That's right, Li Qiushan came back a few days ago, he met the father, but until now, the father has not sent the second younger brother, it is really an extraordinary trustworthy second younger brother."

Uncle Chen Guo was stunned for a moment, thinking of something, suddenly frowned and said, "His Royal Highness, tell me the truth, did His Highness do the Zongshan matter?"

The prince was silent for a while, then raised his eyes for a long while, smiled faintly, and said: "Uncle is overhearted. Although Gu can't tolerate Pei Zhaolin, aunt is Gu's biological aunt after all. How can Gu be so cruel and disregard aunt's body?"

When Uncle Chen Guo heard the words, he slowly let go of the high-hanging stone in his heart, nodded, and said, "That's good...that's good..."

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

Seven days later, the Xishan Bow Horse Conference came as scheduled.

Xishan is not close or far from the capital. Shanyin is in the outskirts of Beijing, with luxuriant forests and many wild animals. Every autumn, the emperor always goes to the Xishan Shanyin hunting ground for autumn hunting, while the Shanyang side stretches until Outside Beijing, close to the Chenghe River and across the great river, is the place where the triennial horse bowing conference is held.

The imperial chariot left Beijing, taking the lead, walking in the front of the entire queue, while the emperor's chariot was wrapped layer by layer in the center of the entire queue.

After receiving the imperial edict, He Gu accompanied him to the Xishan Bow and Horse Conference. Naturally, he was not far from the emperor's chariot and horse, but he didn't like being bored in the chariot and horse, so he simply pulled out Yunzhui and rode it to the horse bow conference.

He Cheng was not good at riding horses at first, but he was grabbed by He Gu and trained urgently for a few days. After all, he was considered to be a so-so horse, so he also rode a small black horse and followed He Gu, and Yan Dingye came with him. The three brothers walked side by side, chatting and laughing.

After leaving the city gate, green mountains and green waters gradually came into view, and the scenery was pleasant. He Cheng seldom went out of Beijing. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, his eyes lit up, he became more excited, and looked forward to the upcoming event.

Yan Dingye said: "Yesterday before leaving, Rong'er made another fuss in the mansion, crying and whining that I could go, but she couldn't, she was messing around and rolling around, it was so bad that I couldn't even go. I'm sorry, but I actually don't want to come. Anyway, I can't choose. It's a waste of hard work. If she is not too young, and she is three or four years older, it would be better to let her dress up as a man , forget it for me."

He Gu smiled and said "bah", and said: "You are worthless, but you have the nerve to say, I haven't asked you yet, did you study hard in the Imperial College in the past six months?"

Yan Dingye hurriedly said: "I've read it, if my cousin doesn't believe me, ask Xiaocheng!"

He Cheng smiled brightly and shyly, but the words in his mouth were not the same, Yan Dingye's face twitched when he heard it.

"My cousin sleeps in class every day, maybe he read it in a dream... Maybe that's the case."

He Gu Wenyan, turned his head to look at Yan Dingye and was about to curse, Yan Dingye hurriedly said: "Hey! Brother! Brother! You are a good horse! Where did you get it?"

He Gu glared at him, and then hummed after a while: "It was given by someone else."

Yan Dingye quickly flattered him: "Hey, look at this fur, this physique, and this air! You can tell it's priceless at first glance. Who gave it to you? Such a big deal?"

He Gu paused, his eyes fell on the front of the team, on the chariot of King Ke——

No one knows if it's a coincidence, but just as he looked over, he saw a man dressed in black clothes, with a purple gold crown on his head, with handsome features and a little bit of chill, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. .

As soon as he stopped at the carriage stop, he stretched out his long and healthy body. The man had broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a pair of straight long legs stood there so that people couldn't take their eyes off him. , Every point of curvature is so perfect that it doesn't seem to be the beauty that ordinary people should have, just a glance from afar, a side profile, just looking at it makes people's hearts stop beating——

I haven't seen him in half a year, and the Third Highness didn't know if he ate feed or something, but he suddenly jumped a lot taller. If he was only half a head taller than He Gu before, now He Gu can see it just by looking at him from a distance. Come out, the Third Highness is definitely taller than him by more than half a head.

He Gu swallowed involuntarily.

In the past half a month, he returned to Beijing, avoided this man everywhere, and never saw him, not because of anything else, but precisely because——

Lord He Xiaohou was planning to take him to the edge of the Chenghe River at the celebration after the Horse Bow Ceremony, and confess his love to His Highness the Third Highness on the edge of the rushing Chenghe River in the starry night.

He has brought the clothes that he thinks are the most handsome, and he has such a beautiful scenery and atmosphere——

It should be the right time, place and people, right?

... Even now seeing the Righteous Master, I feel nervous like beating a drum.

He Guzheng wanted to force himself to look away, but he didn't look at it, but His Royal Highness King Ke over there seemed to have sensed it, and turned his head——
