Fake concubine, real queen

His Royal Highness King Ke came to the north, and General Zhou naturally got the news, and he was secretly relieved immediately.

In fact, His Majesty’s edict to send troops to the Budan Grassland came suddenly, [-] elite riders are not a small number, and the Chenghe camp is suddenly ready to set off. It is indeed a bit of a shortage of manpower. The two camps are adjacent to each other, Kunqiong The mountain camp has always been responsible for the food transportation of the Chenghe camp, so it is naturally more friendly, so Yang asked General Bingyang if he wanted to second people, the first one was to find Kunqiong Mountain.

He Gu watched the people around him being transferred away for a while, and couldn't sit still anymore. Naturally, his heart was itchy, and he would go to General Zhou every now and then to be soft and hard. He is the son-in-law of the emperor, although Princess Qing is now He is no longer here, but the relationship between this little son-in-law and the royal family is very close, so General Zhou is naturally unwilling to offend, the son-in-law came to beg several times, although he was also worried that the son-in-law might have trouble in his camp, but he also Unable to stand He Xiaohou Ye's combination of soft and hard, he almost couldn't bear the promise——

However, at this moment, General Zhou received a secret letter from the emperor in Beijing.

As for what this secret decree said, He Gu naturally wouldn't know. He only knew that General Zhou had become determined after eating the weight, but he didn't want to send him to Chenghe camp to help. Standing on the bench, I was very depressed for a while.

Lord He Xiaohou was suffering, so General Zhou could see it. Knowing that the third prince was coming to the north, he took the initiative to give He Gu a vacation, and persuaded him to go to Yangxi to see the prince and say goodbye. He is also very considerate: "I heard that He Liangguan had a very close friendship with His Royal Highness King Ke when he was in Beijing. It just so happens that the prince has settled down in Yangxi these days, and there is nothing wrong with the camp. This general will give you a vacation, and the grain officer can also go Look at brother-in-law."

He Gu: "..."

He doesn't know what's going on these days, maybe it's winter in the north, the weather is too bitter and cold, the frost and snow can't make people happy, He Gu is listless all day long, and finally when he meets the war——

Although this battle of the imperial court rushing to aid the Budan Grassland never happened in his previous life, He Gu was a little confused, worried that the situation would become more uncontrollable after the meeting, and he wanted to make a profit, but General Zhou was like this He Gu's heart became more and more restless if he didn't eat soft and hard.

The end of the year is approaching, but the third highness was sent by the emperor Lao Tzu to repair the river in the north. For such a thankless task, the emperor always thought about his youngest son. At first he thought that the Song family would have something to say if Beijing was deprived, but now Seeing that the Song family was gone, the emperor's punishment for the crown prince seemed to end there, but King Zhong regained the Twelve Guards. The crown prince was cut off from the arm of the Jiangluo civil official line. Weakened by three points, the two brothers had a faint momentum of confrontation, and they were evenly matched for a while.

... In short, the Third Highness still has no sense of presence.

He Gu felt a little anxious for His Highness the Third Highness, but even if they met, the confusing situation could not become clear, and he had no way of knowing how to break the situation next.

Before he left, he really should have gone to see Second Brother Wang, and now even if he tried to break his head alone, he couldn't think of a reason.

The emperor seemed to be trying to stir up the muddy water, and He Gu finally noticed it. His majesty's thoughts were too deep. He didn't realize until today that it was thanks to the early death of the previous emperor, otherwise the later prince might not be able to beat him The father of this chicken thief.

But... before leaving, what is the purpose of His Majesty giving him the Yulin Sword?

Seeing that He Gu was in a daze, and he just ignored him anyway, General Zhou also saw that the son-in-law was a little less interested, touched his nose, coughed dryly and said: "This... my younger brother also came with the third prince this time. Yangxi, I have a letter here, I wonder if I can entrust Officer He Liang to deliver it to him on my way?"

He Gu was startled, and said, "The general's younger brother?"

General Zhou nodded, and said, "My younger brother used to work in the Princess Mansion, but later, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess...er..."

General Zhou has also heard of course that Lord He Xiaohou had a deep affection for the deceased eldest princess, so he paused at this point, looked at He Gu's expression calmly, and said: "...then he She is no longer in the Princess Mansion, she was sent by His Majesty to sit in the Prince Ke's Mansion as a guard, and this time she came with the Prince."

He Gu suddenly said: "General Zhou's younger brother is... Zhou Yufei?"

General Zhou said: "Yes, my name is Zhenfei, and Yufei is my younger brother."

He Gu rubbed his nose and said, "Then...it's a coincidence..."

General Zhou glanced at his expression, and suddenly said: "What's the matter, Officer He Liang... Could it be that he doesn't want to go to Yangxi to see the Third Prince?"

He Gu's face twitched, and he was silent for a while, before he said: "Of course it's not... the general's letter to my brother, I will deliver it... I'll just go."

Then General Zhou showed his face and said: "Then General I will thank Officer He Liang first."

Yangxi is very close to Kunqiong Mountain, and it takes only an hour to ride a horse on the mountain road. However, He Gu took the letter from General Zhou to his younger brother and set off with Zheng Ye for a whole half a day, but Yun Zhui was still moving slowly on the road. Take small steps.

Zhengye figured out what He Gu was dawdling about, he couldn't help but sighed inwardly, and said, "...Master, if you really don't want to, then... just don't tell His Highness the Third Highness about this."

He Gu hesitated for a while, then took the rein of the horse and turned his head to look at Zhengye, and said in a low voice: "...I... I didn't ask him, and I made my own decision... I don't tell him now, but if he Got it, do you think he will blame me?"

Hearing this, Zhengye couldn't help but secretly slander——

In the current situation, you still can't bear to let this child down, and you are really infatuated with the third prince, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other. What else can he blame you for?

Besides, the child is in your womb, whether you want to live or not is not entirely up to you, it's just that you don't want to lose the child, what's your own opinion?

... After all, his Lord Hou is also a seven-foot man now... Well, although he is a seven-foot man with a child, he is also a seven-foot man, and she is not a woman who obeys her husband's orders in the inner house. Could it be that if you have a child, you can't make up your own mind whether to stay or not, and you have to ask someone for advice?

Men give birth and don't know what the rules are!

Now that the child is in Lord Hou's womb, it will be his Lord Hou who will suffer when the time comes for giving birth to the child. Why is he still being blamed for this?

If this is the case, he will be the first to stand up for Master Hou!

Well...Zhengye admits that these days he actually feels a little uncomfortable, the more he knows the relationship between Lord Hou and the third prince, and the two of them get mixed up, his Lord Hou is still the one who was wronged...

As long as Da Zhengye can remember, the little duke has always had the character of not admitting defeat, not suffering losses, and fighting for strength. I don’t want to let people take advantage of this kind of thing now. I didn't expect that the young Lord Hou would be able to conceive the other party's child in a male body...

Zheng Ye felt very uncomfortable, feeling like his own Chinese cabbage was being pushed by a pig...

Well, even if the pig is quite handsome, Bai Cai would be very happy...

And seeing that the young master is now in the barracks, and he is unwilling to leave this child behind, Zheng Ye feels even more unhappy.

But after all... This is also the young master's own choice. Even if Zhengye felt uncomfortable, he didn't have much to say, so that day he only cooked the medicine as he said and gave it to Lord Hou, and then No more words.

Zhengye said in a muffled voice: "Why is he blaming Master, in this situation now... Master has nothing to do with him anymore, could it be that he is still not satisfied?"

When He Gu heard what Zhengye said, he was a little puzzled for a moment, didn't understand what Zhengye meant by coming here, and was about to ask again, but he heard Zhengye added in a dull voice, saying: "If the master doesn't want to tell him, then...then I will Let’s not talk about it today.”

He Gu heard the words, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, nodded and said: "Alright, at this juncture, if you tell him about it, I'm afraid he will think too much about it, so let's keep it from him first, and when I have a chance, I will tell him about it." tell him."

He Guzhuo thought about it, what Miss Yan said that day was also reasonable, although I don't know how he was conceived by a man... But the child he left behind a few days ago, the Third Highness is the other father of the child after all, this The matter made him know, although His Highness the Third Highness is considerate and gentle, knowing his current situation, he probably wouldn't blame him for losing the child, but most likely he would be unhappy in his heart...

After all... After all, it was their child too...

He Gu was inexplicably a little guilty.

This matter must be kept from the third highness forever, so that he will never know about it for the rest of his life, so that the third highness will not think too much, nor will he be unhappy because of it, but He Gu knows that most of his temper can't hide things, let alone hide things. In a lifetime, one day the Third Highness will know...

The situation is not stable right now, the two of them will probably have to separate after meeting each other, if I tell him now, His Highness the Third Highness will leave, I don't know what to think about alone, He Gu really doesn't want Pei Zhaoheng to be disturbed by this matter , and I don't want to cause a rift between the two of them and make each other unhappy because of this incident.

...and the fact that the man is pregnant, this kind of thing is too absurd at first glance, and the Third Highness may not believe it if he thinks it will happen in a while.

No matter what you think, it's best not to say anything at the moment.

Hearing what he said, Zhengye's face darkened even more, this time he finally couldn't hold back, and muttered in a low voice: "Master thinks of everything for him...why don't you think of yourself..."

He Gu was in a trance, he didn't hear what Zhengye said for a while, and said, "What did you say?"

But Zhengye snorted, didn't speak any more, just turned his head to the side angrily.

This time, He Gu made up his mind not to tell Pei Zhaoheng that he had a "happy pulse" and left the child again. With no scruples in his mind, the master and servant quickened their pace and arrived in Yangxi Town soon.

The three prefectures of Beidi—Zongshan, Chenghe, Wuling, and Yangxi belong to Wuling Mansion. The place is actually not big and not prosperous, but it is just at the exit of Kunqiong Gorge. This pass is a must for military strategists. Because of this reason, Yangxi town has people who practice martial arts, walk darts, and go to the rivers and lakes.

Pei Zhaoheng originally wanted to go to Wuling Mansion, originally he was just passing through here, but he wanted to see He Gu, so he didn't move on, and temporarily stopped.

However, Yangxi is a small place, and he is the majestic prince. As soon as he settled down, he naturally alarmed Yicheng, and Yicheng quickly went to inform the magistrate. He had never met a high official in Beijing before, and now that he knew that the prince had come to his own three-acre land, he was naturally nervous, so he came here in a hurry.

It's just that the old magistrate was sincere and respectful, thinking about what kind of tea and dishes this young prince liked to drink, and asked his servants to prepare it, but found that the prince didn't buy it.

Pei Zhaoheng sat on the bench in the courtyard, glanced at the table of rich and bright delicacies on the table in front of him, but there was no expression on his face, and he did not move his chopsticks.

Seeing him like this, the old magistrate couldn't help feeling panic-

Could it be that he didn't entertain well enough?

Pei Zhaoheng said: "In a place like Yangxi, it's really hard work for Qianzhi County to cobble together such a banquet."

Hearing the words, Qian Zhixian hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and bowed dryly and said with a dry smile: "It's not hard, it's not hard! The third prince was ordered by His Majesty to go north, and the imperial envoy came to Yangxi in person. Our small place is really full of splendor. , the lower officials naturally dare not neglect."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "I don't understand something, can Zhixian Qian explain a thing or two?"

Qian Zhixian said: "My lord, it's okay to say."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "The New Year's Eve is approaching, why are the doors of every house in Yangxi Town closed and there are no birds?"

Qian Zhixian heard the words, scratched his cheeks, and said in a low voice: "This... this..."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "This king asks you—"

"Why?"

Qian Zhixian doesn't know what's going on, the prince in front of him is clearly young, and he is as handsome and beautiful as the fairy in the picture, but he just asked two words like this, the pair should be shining. Yingying's peach-blossom eyes swept over with a neutral look, but somehow his heart felt a little hairy, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his back.

Qian Zhixian has never read any books, only listened to the storytelling by the gentleman in the teahouse. At this moment, he was so blessed that he immediately thought of a word——

Not angry.

His knees softened, and Dang even knelt down, kowtowed, and said with a bitter face: "This... my lord, I'm not going to hide... On Zongshan's side, since two months ago, there have been barbarians from the northwest fighting the autumn wind. It’s not easy, the number of refugees who came to the south to seek refuge suddenly increased, but the local people didn’t want to accept it, that’s why... that’s why..."

Pei Zhaoheng said "oh", and said calmly: "It turns out that Qian Zhixian can still see these refugees, but this king thought that the magistrate was old, with dim eyesight and poor eyesight, so he couldn't see anything."

When Qian Zhixian heard what he said, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, his lips curled up for a moment, and he said: "Xiaguan...Xiaguan..."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "There are so many refugees living on the streets of Yangxi, with no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. I don't know what the king saw along the way. Why didn't you help out at the soup kitchen, and didn't report to the court, but just watched Are they displaced and do not care?"

Qian Zhixian finally heard that the third prince was provoking his teacher to question him, so he hurriedly kowtowed in fright, "This... there is a war on the front line, and the disaster victims and refugees are inevitable, and it's not like it didn't happen before... Our Yangxi is only a small place, and the money and food in the yamen...is not much, if so many refugees want to give relief, the lower officials really can't afford it, and they can't afford to set up such a porridge place!"

Hearing his strong refutation, Pei Zhaoheng still had no expression on his face, but he patted the table with his right hand, and immediately the small porcelain cup that was placed on the table in good condition and filled with a fine silver truffle flew halfway up. Inch tall, and fell back with a "bang", Qian Zhixian was so frightened that his calf almost went limp.

"The words are unreasonable. If the government government is short of money and food, why don't you report it to the court? Could it be that the Ministry of Households will be short of Yangxi?"

Qian Zhixian raised his head with a bitter face, and said: "It's not that I don't want to give up, it's just... just a small magistrate can't do anything about it. Even if I want to give up, I have to ask first." The Shangguan who has passed through the Wuling Mansion, if there is no agreement...the lower official...the lower official really dare not make a claim..."

Pei Zhaoheng frowned, and said: "You are the magistrate of Yangxi county appointed and dismissed by the imperial court. Officials of the seventh grade can write letters to Bing, and you can communicate with the ministers of the cabinet at the top, and officials with the six departments at the bottom. I have to ask where and how to receive advice. The rules of 'Shangguan'?"

Qian Zhixian whispered: "This... this... the third prince doesn't know something. In our three prefectures in the north, these are the old rules for many years..."

At this moment, a young boy's voice came from outside the courtyard door.

"Master Zhixian, there is a military master outside asking to see you."

Just when Qian Zhixian was upset, Dang even frowned and replied: "What kind of military master, tell him to wait! I am seeing distinguished guests, and I have told you not to disturb them. Why are you so blind? How dare you let any cat or dog in to disturb you?" , my officer..."

The boy said outside the door: "But he said he came to see the Third Prince."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, Qian Zhixian saw that the young prince who had been calm and calm before him suddenly raised his beautiful but indifferent peach eyes, and said, "Tell him to come in."

Qian Zhixian was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent, not daring to say any more.

When He Gu led Zhengye into the courtyard, what he saw was this scene——

This small courtyard is green bricks and black tiles, surrounded by water, a loquat tree is planted in the courtyard, the pavilion is like a cover, and an ebony Eight Immortals table is placed under the tree. But it has a taste of Jiangnan, and the people who repaired the yard are also particular, so it is really good to enjoy.

It's just that His Highness the Third Highness was sitting at the table, looking unhappy. Cheng Wei and Zhou Yufei stood by the side with expressionless faces and no words, looking like two murderous spirits.

He Gu: "..."

He looked again at the old man with white beard and hair and wearing a blue official robe with a round collar kneeling in front of His Highness, He Gu scratched the back of his head and said, "Ah... this... Is it because I came here?" At that time, is the prince doing business?"

As soon as Pei Zhaoheng saw him, his eyes immediately softened three points, but he didn't answer him immediately, he just sent the magistrate Qian away first, and told him to go back and think about a regulation, and figure out how to solve these northern lands in Yangxi Town Refugees, Cheng Wei and Zhou Yufei were sent away after Qian Zhixian left.

However, Cheng Wei and Zhou Yufei, who were following His Highness the Third Highness over there, retreated swiftly. He Gu asked Zheng Ye to go out for a while, but Zheng Ye was obviously very reluctant to go out, turning his head every time he took a step——

Now that He Gu has confessed to him about his relationship with His Highness the Third Highness, seeing Zhengye's appearance, he felt somewhat embarrassed, coughed dryly and said in a low voice: "I'll just have a few words with His Highness Third, and I'll come out in a while."

Zhengye was silent for a while, and finally compromised after a long while, and said in a low voice: "...well, it's just now...for the sake of my master's body, you two should be a little bit more modest."

He Gu was a little dazed for a moment, what Zhengye said made Monk Zhanger puzzled, he wanted to ask a question, but Zhengye turned and left.

Why do you think about his body... Could it be that he has lost his child for almost twenty days now, why should he be so particular about it?

I really can't tell that Zhengye, who usually doesn't show off his mountains and dews, knows this kind of knowledge, it really is an old mother.

He Guzheng was distracted, but when he turned around, he just happened to meet the pair of clear and beautiful peach blossom eyes of the Third Highness, and his heart almost trembled suddenly when he saw that he was unprepared——

No matter how many times I look at these eyes, I never get tired of looking at them.

He Gu walked back to him, and was about to ask him if he had a lot of errands during his trip to the Northland, but Pei Zhaoheng stood up and grabbed his wrist.

Master He Xiaohou was startled, and looked up at Pei Zhaoheng, but this time he couldn't see the whole picture of His Highness, but the two slender eyelashes of this man, who is not inferior to Huayuelou's top oiran, are almost distinct. The beautiful one doesn't look like it grows on a man's face. His Highness lowered his eyes, his eyes are as bright as glass beads. Although he looks good, it's the first time for He Gu to look up at him like this, making his neck a little tired , could not help but sigh with emotion: "Your Highness... How long has it been, why have you grown taller again?"

With an imperceptible smile in Pei Zhaoheng's eyes, he lightly pressed He Gu's wrist with his fingertips, answered irrelevant questions, and said, "I always dream about Zihuan these days."

In fact, in He Gu's heart, he naturally misses him. Although it hasn't been long since we parted, most young people who have fallen in love for the first time are like this. After only a moment of separation, they feel that life is like a sea of ​​vicissitudes and life is like a year. When he sees the third highness, he can't wait to pounce on him. Holding him for a couple of bites, but due to... cough, due to the dignity of a seven-foot man, he restrained himself a little, and was going to talk to the third highness who was peddling a dog meat, and then gradually got tired of it, after all, , it seems that he is more mature and less impatient...

Unexpectedly, His Highness the Third Highness started to get straight to the point today.

He Gu couldn't stand such a straightforward and unpretentious Third Highness, his face blushed immediately, he forgot what he had planned to say, and his tongue was a little knotted, so he asked in a hurry : "Yes... is it... what does Your Highness miss me..."

As soon as the words came out, his face became even more flustered, and he was both secretly flattered and ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and get in, leaving only two eyeballs blinking outside, looking at the third highness what a reaction.

Seeing the changing situation on He Gu's face, Pei Zhaoheng thought it was funny even though he didn't know what this man was thinking.

"Zihuan said... what else can I think?"

He Gu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react, his face suddenly turned redder, like a monkey's buttocks, he looked at Pei Zhaoheng with disbelief, and after a while he stammered, blushing, " Your Highness...you you you...you..."

Master He Xiaohou was roaring in his heart, but he couldn't say anything——

Why does the Third Highness seem to have learned badly! !

The two of them were just opening their heads on their side, when the courtyard door was suddenly knocked open with a "bang".

He Gu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw Zhengye with a dark face, looking at him and His Highness the Third Highness with a very unfriendly expression.

He Gu was really taken aback by him, and was about to ask him what's the matter, but suddenly Zhengye ran up to him and His Highness the Third Highness in a few steps, and raised his hand to pull the hand they were holding—

Later, Cheng Wei and Zhou Yufei ran into the courtyard door panting, holding the door frame and said: "Zheng Ye, you... what are you talking about... the prince and the others..."

Zhengye's cheeks trembled visibly with the naked eye. Fortunately, he still remembered what he had promised He Gu, so he didn't expose He Gu's old background, and just said stiffly: "I... my Lord Marquis, he ...He is inconvenient for your lord to touch now!"

Cheng Wei and Zhou Yufei following behind: "..."

He Gu: "...=mouth=!"

God...

...What is Masano saying? !
