Value peace

Chapter 79

The lights of Chengqian Palace were turned on one by one, and the orange light shone on Gu Chaorong's jade-like face, and she asked softly, "Did the emperor rest at Jian Baolin's place again today?"

The female officer who was making her bed froze and replied "yes" in a low voice.

Gu Chaorong nodded, showing a dreamy smile.

She thought of the first encounter under the eaves of the Kunning Palace under the bright and scorching sun, the astonishment in the emperor's eyes; she thought of the advice offered in the study room in the bleak autumn wind, the admiration in the eyes of the emperor; Counting, the fear in the emperor's eyes... She also remembered the fear in the emperor's eyes during the Spring Festival celebration two years ago...

I have done too much, I have gone too far...

However, going back is an abyss; going forward is a wall.

Standing on a wall, there is still the possibility of turning over, and the abyss is a thousand feet, but there is only a place for death without burial...

The female officer had already made the bed for Gu Chaorong, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed!"

Gu Chaorong gradually became clear from the trance.

When it is interrupted, it will inevitably lead to chaos.

Now is the time to make a decision.

Her gaze gradually became firm and cold, and she softly ordered the female officer: "Call me Lan Ying."

The female official responded with a low "yes", and hurriedly called Lan Ying, the female official from Chengqian Palace.

Gu Chaorong said to Lan Ying indifferently: "Xiyan is going to marry Zuo Xiaoyu."

The woman named Lan Ying looked up at Gu Chaorong in surprise.

"It was my father, Gu Baozhang, who sent me into a dangerous situation with his own hands." Gu Chaorong nodded with a smile, "It's interesting! I've counted everything, even if I missed him. Without children, what can we do? Sigh, Now there is only redeployment."

Lan Ying said cautiously: "Can you stop the marriage?"

"Blocking the marriage? What's the use?" Gu Chaorong said indifferently, "The reputation of a woman who has broken off the engagement will be ruined. As long as the queen mother is still alive, it is impossible to let her enter the palace. Find a way to make Jian Qing conceive a child!"

Lan Ying's whole body was shocked.

Rely on the Son of Heaven to command the princes!
Empress, it's finally time to make a move.

She didn't dare to look up at Gu Chaorong, she lowered her head and said "yes", her tone was low, but there was an excitement that could not be ignored.

Gu Chaorong caressed his silky black hair, lazily said: "It would be even better if there is any movement between Jingqige and the prince."

Lan Yingmao took a few steps forward and walked to Gu Chaorong's side: "I heard from Lan Jue that the one from Jingqi Pavilion is already on file!"

Gu Chaorong couldn't help being amused, he raised his head and laughed loudly, the laughter resounded throughout Chengchao Palace.

"Lan Ying, tell Lan Rui of the Chuxiu Palace about this, how can we let our empress have nothing to do?" Gu Xiyan managed to stop her smile, "When the princess was selected, she was not Do you think Fang Shaoying is too lofty, afraid that her precious son will be wronged? Now her son and her are of the same mind, and they don't like the Fang family. The empress will be very happy when she finds out."

Lan Ying was worried: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the queen is also involved..."

Gu Chaorong said with a smile: "The more chaotic the scene, the better. If everything is calm, there is no place for us to stand..."

A coldness appeared on her delicate face.

Your Majesty, I have been in charge of you for the past few years. If you want wind and rain, you don’t know the hardships of the world!

You're so afraid of me that you don't even see my face...

That's right, I'm about to collapse when I'm being treated as a stepping stone and may be abandoned at any time...

At the same moment, Gu Xiyan had already made the bed, and gently urged Mo Ju: "Go to sleep first, save those for tomorrow to sew."

Mo Ju was sitting on the big couch by the window, leaning against the glass lamp on the small table, and sewed a white obscene dress with all her fingers. Hearing Gu Xiyan's words, she continued to sew the clothes in her hands without even raising her head: "It will be fine soon, the girl should rest first, there are only a few days before the wedding day!"

Gu Xiyan hesitated for a while, crawled to the inner board of the eight-step bed and rummaged for a while, then took out two yellowed papers and handed them to Mo Ju: "You keep the 200 taels of silver for yourself. Money is close by. If something goes wrong, just run away, as long as you support Duan Niang when she comes back."

Mo Ju stopped her hands and said in a low voice: "The girl gave it all to me, what about you?"

Gu Xiyan pointed to the commendation garment that Mo Ju was sewing: "Liu Zuocheng was generous. There were a total of 1000 taels of silver bills in that letter, all of which were small amounts. If I need anything, just sew the commendation garment you sewed." Just take it apart."

Mo Ju thought for a moment, then took the bank note: "Girl, you are alone, so be careful. If it's not possible, come back like last time. After all, it's father and daughter..."

Gu Xiyan patted Mo Ju's shoulder reassuringly, showing a smile as bright as May: "This time is different from last time. Last time I had hope, this time I was disappointed. What's more, I put You are all settled, and there is nothing to worry about. There is only one thing, you must take good care of my share of the family property, so that I will not even have a place to stay. That is the foundation of our roots!"

A daisy-like smile gradually bloomed on Mo Ju's face: "Don't worry, girl. I've memorized everything you said. After meeting Duan Niang, I went to Lidao immediately; the big hermit lives in the court, and the little one hides in the city. After we went to Lingdao, we rented a yard with a single door, planted a magnolia tree at the door, and posted a red pair of "There are roads in the mountains of books, hard work as the path, learning the sea is boundless and hard work." When you arrive Good to find us..."

Gu Xiyan nodded with a smile.

The Kingdom of Xia is fundamentally still a feudal imperial country, the cohesion of the clan is greater than that of the imperial court, and the family has lived in the same place for hundreds or even thousands of years. Suddenly, three strange women came and offered to punch as many eyes as they wanted.She searched the album for a long time before she chose Ridge Island...

The days of Qiuxi Festival and Gu Xiyan's marriage were one after the other, Madam Gu was too busy to take care of the future, so when Mo Ju's aunt came to redeem her, Madam Gu did not agree: "The girl is going to marry soon." Married, there are only four maids to accompany her, so it's a bit shabby, if Mo Ju leaves, where can I find someone?"

The matchmaker brought by Mo Ju's aunt to help Mo Ju get rid of the loan immediately said: "Oh ma'am, you can't find a girl if you have money. See if this works, I will be responsible for finding you a girl, and her aunt will be responsible for paying. Everyone is happy."

Mrs. Gu took a look at Aunt Mo Ju's semi-new clothes. The matchmaker had a sharp eye, and immediately pulled Aunt Mo Ju's sleeve. Silver, about twelve taels.

Mrs. Gu looked at it and smiled coldly.

Aunt Mo Ju gritted her teeth and took out a bank note.

From Dingsheng Bank, 50 taels of silver.

Mrs. Gu was born in a merchant, she is a person who knows the goods, her face is slightly pale.

Mo Ju's aunt was chattering: "... I gave it all to Madam, if there is no more, Madam must give Mo Ju to me, otherwise, I, I will not be able to explain it when I go back..."

The old woman tugged Aunt Moju's sleeve again, and explained to Mrs. Gu with a smile: "Her uncle is a wine crate, and he beats him when he drinks...you can do it, this is what her aunt saved all her life!"

Only then did Mrs. Gu let go: "Liu'er, go and call Mo Ju!"

The news spread quickly, and Aunt Mo Ju paid 60 taels to redeem her. The girls in the house who were about the same age as Mo Ju were in an uproar, and they all came to give Mo Ju with envy.Only Xinghong hid in the room and secretly wiped her tears. When Huilan saw her, she whispered, "Look, what a coincidence her aunt came here. Everyone has their own plans! Don't be sad, isn't there still me?"

Xinghong threw herself into Whelan's arms and burst into tears.

Over there, Gu Xiyan knew that Mo Ju had left, so she rewarded a lot of things. There were four big boxes full of clothes for all seasons, and she couldn't even put her hands in it, which made a group of little sisters tsk tsk. Said the tongue.Mo Ju respectfully kowtowed three times to Gu Xiyan, and followed her aunt out of the mansion with several big camphor wood boxes with red eyes and without looking back.

At night, Ping'er was on duty at night, and said with a smile: "So the girl and Mr. Jiang are discussing this matter!"

Gu Xiyan was reading the information about Zuo Xiaoyu under the lamp, without raising her head, she asked a little casually: "What about you? Come with me?"

Ping'er smiled and said, "Of course. I'm not the maid of the Gu family, I'm just yours. Wherever you go, I will follow you."

Gu Xiyan raised her head and said with a mocking smile: "Ten years from now? What are your plans in ten years' time?"

"Ah!" Ping'er disapproved, with a relaxed tone, "Let's talk about ten years later. Who knows? According to the speed and quality of your troubles, maybe I will be gone in ten years; maybe I will be gone in ten years. Will be hired to kill you..."

Gu Xiyan was shocked by Ping'er's words.

Yeah, ten years from now, who knows what will happen ten years from now?
In the past, she was living under the fence of others, and she was used to living life by watching people carefully, not daring to make a wrong step, for fear of saying the wrong sentence, but what happened?Inexplicably passed through, everything I longed for disappeared without a trace like dust!After arriving in this world, since she has enjoyed the power of others, she has to fulfill her due obligations, but she really doesn't like everything about the Gu family, and she has barely come to this day, stumbling and exhausted.

Being human for two lives made her understand the preciousness of time!
She really wanted to be herself while she was still breathing.

Like the clouds in the sky, like the fish in the water, like the wind in the sky.

To enjoy life, not to cope with survival.

Gu Xiyan let out a long breath, stood up and stretched. For the first time, she felt that her shoulders were empty, and her whole body was relaxed and happy.

No one knows what will happen in the future, but now, don't do things that you regret!
With Ping'er, no, with Duan Yingluo as a companion, it should be easier to walk!
It is never too late to understand and communicate.

She laughed and said, "Why did you promise Qi Hao to come to me?"

Duan Yingluo raised her eyebrows lightly.

Gu Xiyan explained: "I don't think you are such a person?"

Duan Yingluo laughed: "What kind of person do you think I am? Can I not eat, not wear clothes, and not enjoy life?"

Gu Xiyan thought about it, and felt that she was asking naively.He laughed and said, "That's right. The hustle and bustle is all about fame and fortune. What do you think about our future journey?"

Duan Yingluo raised her eyebrows: "Just follow you."

It is only August now, there is still more than a month before Duanniang and Mo Ju meet, and in her plan, she will go directly to Lingdao to find Mo Ju and the others.Ridge Island is thousands of miles away from here, in the north of Shengjing, it is a triangular small island washed out when the Songjiang River enters the sea, and it is a supply station for going out to sea and entering the inland of Songjiang River.When Moju and the others arrive, at least it will be the beginning of spring next year.I might as well take this opportunity to walk around. Of course, it would be even better if I could take this opportunity to get rid of Duan Yingluo!
Gu Xiyan asked: "Do you have any trustworthy friends? We are out of Shengjing. In case the family members chase after us, there is a place to hide from the limelight."

Duan Yingluo raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you arrange everything?"

Gu Xiyan blinked, and said: "Going to your friend to avoid disaster is also one of my arrangements!"

Duan Ying got angry.

Gu Xiyan said softly: "Sister Yingluo, we are sitting on the same boat now..."
