Chapter 215 Lifetime
Chapter 215 Lifetime
The emperor glanced at the Ninth Princess and asked, "What's so good about this? If you want to see it, can't you see it at the palace banquet next year?"
The Ninth Princess pulled his arm, shook it a few times, and said in a tender voice, "I am just curious. I wonder what this Qin family girl is like to make Lord Gu hold her in his heart. Besides, since Seventh Sister has gone, why can't she take me with her?"
The emperor was unable to resist her pestering and finally had to nod and agree.
"Go if you want to, but don't cause any trouble. Your brother, the Crown Prince, has not been feeling well recently, and your mother is unhappy, so don't make her worry."
The Ninth Princess sighed.
"My prince has not been in good health for a long time. What annoys me is that the queen mother is..."
The emperor glanced at her and the Ninth Princess stopped talking.
The chief eunuch stood aside with his brows lowered, as if his mind was elsewhere again, and it seemed as if he had not heard anything the father and daughter said at all.
The fact that the Ninth Princess and the Seventh Princess were ordered to visit the Dingbei Marquis's residence to express their condolences did indeed bother Gu Jinghui.
There are no new patients in the mansion, and the original patients are slowly recovering. The two children of Mr. Gu Liu have also improved a lot, but the Dingbei Marquis Mansion cannot be opened yet. How should we welcome the princess then?
"Well," Lord Gu glanced at Hongye and Yang Jian who were busy working on their abacus, with no expression on his face.
There was no need to use that room anymore; it was just a temporary place, but Yang Jian had already treated it as the Beihou Mansion's large study room - although there were only two books from the Beihou Mansion in the study room: one was "Spring and Autumn Annals" and the other was "Romance of the Eight Kingdoms".
My husband is really recruiting people.
"Then tell me what it is."
Yang Jian glared at me, and just then, Lord Gu's narrow eyes were also looking at you intently.
Looking at the handsome and unruly face behind you, you thought in your heart that the first princess was probably put up, and the fourth princess followed behind. It is unknown whether it was for the prince or for other reasons.
Hongye, Qin Yuan and the other seven also looked up, exchanged glances, and continued to check the account books.
I originally wanted to go to the lower room, but seeing that it was getting late, I changed my mind and decided to wait until breakfast tomorrow to ask my mother for advice.
Gu Jinghui frowned and said, “I don’t know either.”
A few days passed, and the "Spring and Autumn Annals" was still on this page.
For matters like this, wouldn't it usually be the senior eunuchs around the emperor who would come, or the officials from the Ministry of Rites, or even a prince or a close minister?
Cui Ming was surprised and asked, "Why did the two princesses come to visit?"
"Madam, you just can't make up your mind. Please think about it for you. How about letting Hongye and Qin Yuan do the calculation first? Hongye is stupid but capable. If it weren't for his help, it would be done very quickly."
In my eyes, the Fourth Princess is only slightly worse than Princess Fuyun.
One is the sister of the Prince of Qi, who is deeply loved by Queen Lin; the other is Queen Lin’s biological princess, the sister of the prince.
But Lord Gu didn't stop talking, and he even retreated a step further and put your hand under your cheek and rubbed it hard. The slightly raised stubble made you feel very itchy.
When they returned to Wutong Garden, Doctor Li and Dadong had already left. Yang Jian was counting the beads on the abacus with Hongye and Qin Yuan on the lamp.
Very slowly is less slow.
Beihoufu and Cuiming went to the room where I studied those days.
Princess Fuyun is someone I try to avoid.
Cui Ming: “…”
Hongye slowed down, pinched Qin Yuan's neck and threatened: "Bad guy, don't expect you to help him do things again."
Cui Ming couldn't help but use some strength on her hands.
"What happened?"
Qin Yuan said sourly: "Hongye, he is so stupid and capable, it doesn't matter if you work hard all the time, you should also want to take a break."
Qin Yuan just kept laughing.
What this means is that the seven of them will go to the lower room to have breakfast tomorrow.
Yang Jianshi asked: "What?"
Beihoufu said bitterly, "You told him that you didn't get close to you for the sake of King Qi, and you wanted to drag you into the water. The fourth princess probably came here for the sake of the crown prince, and she wanted to join in the quiet. The crown prince and King Jin are not afraid of you, and they want to use Doctor Liu to harm you and marry Gu Jinghui."
It's my elder sister who can do mental arithmetic, but it's you.
Lord Gu waited for a while before saying, "Yuan'er, does he have anything to tell you?"
It's all the same trouble.
Lord Gu was annoyed and made up his mind. He found an excuse to stay in the small camp before leaving the mansion, so as to attend court and stay closer to those people.
Hongye: "..."
Cui Ming said, "I think it's because the number of patients in the palace has not decreased for a long time. The palace was about to open today, and the news came to the palace, so the emperor agreed to the princesses' request."
Hongye and Qin Yuan only breathed a sigh of relief after Lord Gu and Yang Jian went to the study.
Yang Jian never thought about it, but he knew that Lord Gu might not be able to finish reading the "Spring and Autumn Annals" during his lifetime.
God knows why they sent two princesses.
Beihou Mansion is really good at praising people.
"Why are you counting again?"
You said everything, Beihou Mansion.
Cui Ming saw me coming, raised her delicate upper jaw, and smiled again: "Look, Hongye is here. If you have nothing to do, just help with the calculation."
"You have thick skin, so it hurts," Lord Gu said, seeming to care, "You still have something to tell mother about that. Let's talk about it when we go to pay our respects tomorrow morning."
The look you give Gu Jinghui is not simple at all.
Cui Ming put down the abacus in her hand, picked up the pen and made a mark on the paper, wrote a line of words, and then said: "Let's go to the big study to discuss this, so as not to disturb you."
Cui Ming said: "It's bad too."
"Ok?"
Lord Gu hurriedly said in a serious tone: "You also know that the eunuch in Weiyang Palace sent someone to tell you to prepare for the reception tomorrow. You really understand those princesses. You must be in Xiaozhao Temple, and there is no smallpox outside the palace. Why did you make that trip?"
Yang Jian tilted his head slightly, his face showing understanding, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Yang Jianshi said lazily: "Tomorrow, the first and fourth princesses will come to the mansion to express their condolences according to the imperial order. You have no idea whether you should invite us into the mansion, or..."
Master Gu Liu had never paid much attention to these things. After learning about this, he just opened his watery peach blossom eyes and asked in confusion: "Third brother, why did the emperor send two princesses to express his condolences?"
Yang Jianshi looked annoyed: "Does he believe that Princess Fuyun has no improper thoughts about you?"
Before they sat down, Cui Ming asked, "What happened to my husband?"
Cui Ming felt itchy when I pinched her and she just wanted to pull her hand back.
Lord Gu took your big hand and played with it, saying gloomily, "After talking about that matter, don't blame it on you. You are also confused. I know why."
Yang Jian said: "Well, you hate twiddling your fingers when you're thinking about something, did you pinch him and hurt him?"
Compared to my adopted son, Beihoufu can really be regarded as the next bad student. If the two of them were to study together, I'm afraid that Beihoufu would be the one to be punished by standing and being spanked.
