Qingchuan History

Chapter 45

Since the fourth year of Jinghong, on the 28th of each month, Princess Chunyue returned to the palace to visit her relatives.Although the rules of visiting relatives of princesses in the past dynasties are different and vary from person to person, it is rare to see them so frequently.The main reason is that Gu Xinglang was still young when he came to the throne, and the so-called eldest sister is like a mother; when Chunyue got married, she was only 17 years old, so such a rule was set up to facilitate her frequent visits.

Gu Xinglei ranked third, Chunyue fifth, and Gu Xinglang ninth.Gu Xinglei passed away, and to Gu Xinglang, Chunyue was actually the only remaining relative, because they were all descended from Empress Dinghui.

Gu Chunyue is serious, and she is actually very similar to the three of them's mother.Even with that rumor, her attitude has always been subtle: she never expressed doubt, and never expressed belief.

shut up.

Compared with Chunfeng's one-sided clear trust, Chunyue's silence is disappointing, but it fits her style of acting since she was a child.And no matter whether she is suspicious or not, she will eventually stand by her own brother and help him protect the Gu family.

The siblings never said anything clearly, but when Gu Chunyue proposed to marry Ji Pingping, Gu Xinglang knew her intentions.

The friendship with Ji Ping since childhood is only second, the most important thing is that the other party is Ji Ping, the eldest son of Xiangfu, who is most likely to inherit the mantle of Xiangguo Ji Huan.

The Ji family has been loyal and good for generations, and is the most prestigious and powerful gentry in Daqi.Such a family, of course, must be wooed, and even more beware.

As far as the Ji family is concerned, it is a supreme honor for the eldest princess to marry, even if the emperor's grace is not simple.

A loyal person is not afraid of prying eyes, nor is he afraid of trials.As long as you are loyal and good, and can continue from generation to generation.

"A few days ago, the emperor was ill and even canceled the morning court. Chunyue was very anxious. I also heard that there was a ban in the Wanlan Hall, and no one was allowed to visit except Mrs. Pei who was serving the sick. There was no news for several days." She said. He frowned slightly, as if falling into the anxiety of the previous few days again, and blamed him, lowered his voice and said:
"It's so serious, at least let Diyan come to inform my sister. It's been a few days since I've recovered, and I haven't seen you report that she's safe. If Wanling didn't come back that day, my sister is still in the dark."

Gu Xinglang frowned slightly: "She also told my sister?"

"Of course not. She doesn't stay for more than two hours every time she comes back. She has to go back to the palace after lunch. She spends most of her time with her parents. She doesn't have time to gossip with my sister-in-law. It's just that Xiangguo is afraid that I'm in a hurry, so I just conveyed it to you." A few words." She took a sip of tea and looked at him again: "Listen to what your majesty means, can't sister know?"

Seeing that she was really angry, Gu Xinglang replied slowly: "It's just a sickness, so how important is it? After all, it will recover in a few days."

"Although Xiangguo only spoke a few words, Chunyue can also hear the danger. Fortunately, the group of people in the Imperial Medical Bureau didn't take so many years of salary in vain, and Henry Zhang is also useful."

Gu Xinglang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Ji Huan finally didn't say much about Ruan Xueyin, but Chunyue continued:
"But why did Your Majesty specify Mrs. Pei to be sick this time? She—"

She didn't go any further, because this level of worry has been widespread in the hearts of all the Gu family since Ruan Xueyin entered the palace.

"Don't worry, sister."

Chunyue nodded: "That's good. There are no absolutes in the world, and it's always good to be more careful."

Gu Xinglang smiled, and pushed the lotus root starch osmanthus cake in front of her, "Only when my sister enters the palace on the 28th of every month, I ordered the small kitchen to make it. Use some quickly."

Chunyue also smiled: "Speaking of which, Xiangfu really can't make this taste, and I don't know if lotus root is wrong or sweet-scented osmanthus is wrong." She took a bite.

"Every time I ask my sister to bring some back, you don't want it."

"Because I like this lotus root powder osmanthus cake, but I am not satisfied with the ones made in Xiangfu, Ji Ping has changed more than a dozen dim sum chefs in the past three years. Because I praised the new chef's craftsmanship last month, I finally calmed down. If you see I brought it back from the palace, so I might have to toss about it again."

Gu Xinglang was satisfied: "Ji Ping treats my sister very well."

"He has always treated my sister well, even when he was young, so don't worry." There was no one around, and Chunyue was a little more relaxed about addressing her, "It's you, I saw the long scroll of mountains and rivers that Wanling drew for you at the Tianchang Festival night banquet." , very attentively, you guys, but eased up a lot?"

Gu Xinglang didn't answer right away.He was hesitating whether to tell her the new progress of the Fengtingguan mystery.Except for Wan Ling, she should know about this, but——

The explanation is really complicated, and it also involves Ruan Xueyin, and after all, there is no truth, so I just said:

"It's definitely better."

Chunyue was quite relieved: "It's so good. Last year she said she was going to enter the palace, but I didn't ask too much about it. My sister is responsible for this matter. Fortunately, she came here just to show her temper, and she didn't make any troubles that can't be closed." She Still having lingering fears, she sighed and said: "At that time, she was in a desperate situation, and she really wanted to do something, but thinking about it now, she is also afraid."

Gu Xinglang patted her arm lightly and comforted her: "Wan Ling has always understood the general situation and will not act impulsively. Your brother is not an ordinary person, he knows how to protect himself. Elder sister doesn't need to take everything on herself."

"It has been seven years since the third brother passed away. Presumably, she has gradually accepted it and will not continue to be extreme. In any case, the boy Qimeng got what he wanted, and my sister is happy for you. Be patient and give her more time."

Gu Xinglang smiled lightly: "My sister still thinks of me as a child. There are not many people in this world who get what they want. They just do their best, but I want peace of mind."

Chunyue was startled, and said softly, "In the past few years, you have calmed down a lot, and it seems that you have also become a lot colder." She was in a complicated mood, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, "You are not so attached to Wan Ling anymore. gone?"

"Someone told me that one of the important lessons in life is to let go of attachment. I think it makes sense."

"Which old man told you this? You are only 20 years old, and it will not be too late to say this when you are 60 years old."

Gu Xinglang thought in his heart, yes, how could such an old-fashioned word come out of the mouth of a 20-year-old girl.Older than myself.

Gu Chunyue was startled when she saw the faint smile on his face.They have all been in their teenage years, and they are all from the past. She is too familiar with that kind of smile.

"It seems that a girl told you. It's not Wan Ling. Mrs. Jin? Mrs. Zhen?"

Gu Xinglang was stunned: "How does sister know?"

Chunyue smiled knowingly: "Because my sister has laughed like this, and my sister has seen many people laugh like this. Most people have laughed like this in their lives."

After all, she was still a teenager, Gu Xinglang made her confused: "Huh?"

Chunyue felt relieved: "I was worried at first that you would not be used to the harem suddenly being so lively when you just reached the weak crown. Now it seems that it would be good for two more people to accompany you. Although I didn't get along with them well, after several palace After the banquet, I can see that the two girls have no serious problems, after all, their backgrounds are there, and their appearances are also top-notch."

Gu Xinglang smiled, but did not answer.

Chunyue glanced at the sky outside the window, "It's almost noon, and I'm going to pass the meal, my sister is leaving first."

"Don't you leave after lunch?"

"I'm going to Pishuang Palace for lunch today, it was agreed last time when Wanling returned home."

Gu Xinglang worried: "Sister, don't talk nonsense."

Chunyue smiled again: "My sister has been alive for 23 years, and I have never missed a word when I asked myself."

Gu Xinglang smiled helplessly: "Princess Chunyue is impeccable in her words and deeds, no one in Qi Gong knows."

"Don't worry, I didn't get involved in your affairs before, and I won't talk too much now. But I am your sister, and there are some things that you must know."
