Chapter 42

After a few days, Cui Shao took Gu Tongyan out of Shengjing, followed by hundreds of soldiers, because he couldn't show his face for the time being, Gu Ruzhen could only watch from afar.

Seeing Que Yan's figure disappear in front of her eyes, Gu Ruzhen was stunned for a long time before recovering.

"Sister Gu."

She turned around and looked at the speaker.

This is a very handsome young man, he looks like he is about fifteen or sixteen years old, all the broken hair in front of his forehead is braided to the back of his head, and tied with a red hair tie at the end.

The clothes she was wearing were not Tianqin's fashionable round-neck gowns, but the red cross-neck skirts she often saw when she was in Qingxuan.

Holding a folding fan in his hand, many red plums were drawn on the fan.

He flicked his folding fan, his brows and eyes curved, "It's really fate, I will see Sister Gu here."

Sister Gu...but she had never seen him before, although his face made her feel inexplicably familiar.

Wu Zhu nodded from the side, "I have seen King Qinghe."

"I don't know if sister Gu has time to enjoy the face and have a cup of tea in Zuixiaolou?"

Gu Ruzhen glanced at him, and then said, "There are still people waiting in the mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink this cup of tea today."

The young man raised his lips down slightly, and after a few moments, he chuckled lightly, and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, it's more important for Sister Gu to see Brother Huang."

……

Gu Ruzhen untied the cloak on her body and hung it on the wooden hook on the wall.

Then he walked to one side and poured half a cup of tea, took a couple of sips, and then asked, "Who is King Qinghe?"

Wu Zhu had already held back his words along the way, and at this moment he hurriedly replied, "Qinghe King Qin Lin is His Majesty's sixteenth younger brother, and also the youngest son of the late Emperor. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he was named King of Qinghe and went to live in Qinghe."

"Then why is he here?"

According to her understanding of Tianqin's laws and regulations these days, it should be impossible for a prince with a fief to appear in Shengjing.

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. King Qinghe was very young when His Majesty ascended the throne, and he was crying and refusing to leave."

Gu Ruzhen raised her eyes and put down the teacup, "He's not the kind of person who will soften his heart just because he cries, even if he's a brother."

Although the words did not specify the name, both of them knew who they were talking about.

Wu Zhu flattered her even more, "Your majesty is smart, originally His Majesty wanted General Cui to send the then King Qinghe to Qinghe directly, but... it was just that the Empress Dowager West suddenly ran to the court hall, with snot and tears The poor King Qinghe has no one to love him, so we want to keep him in Shengjing."

"The Western Empress Dowager..." Gu Ruzhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Western Empress Dowager likes King Qinghe?"

From what she knew, Qin Li's biological mother had been imprisoned in the cold palace for more than ten years, and it was impossible to have any contact with King Qinghe in the past.

It's impossible to suddenly become a mother, and I can't bear to see an eight or nine-year-old crying child.

And a woman who has been in the cold palace for more than ten years, really can't bear the child born to the woman next to her husband?

But Wu Zhu nodded, "The Empress Dowager Xi really likes King Qinghe very much, she wants to meet King Qinghe in the palace every month, and even gave him a waist card for entering the palace."

After thinking for a long time, Gu Ruzhen's eyes fell on the tea leaves that were lying on the bottom of the teacup. She moved her fingers, and the tea leaves floated to it.

"Wu Zhu, if King Qinghe comes to visit, find a reason to dismiss him and don't let him in."

Although Wu Zhu felt strange, he still responded.

In the early morning of the next day, she saw the guards at the gate reporting that King Qinghe had come to visit. Wu Zhu lamented that the mother was so smart, and at the same time found a reason to get rid of him.

After Qin Lin finished listening, the smile in the corner of his eyes faded a lot, "Then I will visit again some other day."

He turned around, and the smile in his eyes disappeared completely.

After a while, Qin Lin took the badge and entered the palace.

After a long while, he appeared at the gate of Ning'an Hall, waiting for the maid's announcement.

Qian Momo came out from inside, and said with a smile, "Just now the Empress Dowager and the slaves were thinking about the prince, but I didn't expect to come here just after thinking about the prince."

Qin Lin walked in and said, "Mammy must have said bad things about me in front of the queen mother."

"Wow, this servant is saying that the prince is filial. He comes to see the Queen Mother every few days, and often brings many new things to the Queen Mother."

Walking into the hall, Mrs. Lin was sitting on a chair, holding a flute as thick as a finger in her hand, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Seeing this, Qin Lin smiled, stepped forward and took the flute to his lips. With the movement of his fingers, a string of beautiful and agile melodies overflowed from his lips.

Lin covered her lips with a handkerchief, and her eyes were bent into slits when she smiled, "Look at me, after studying for so many days, I still haven't played it well. You just saw how many times I learned it, and then You can play so well, no wonder your father always said you were smart when he was alive."

This is a lie.

Lin stayed in the cold palace for decades, it was really there, and he couldn't take a step out at all.

When she first went in, she thought that the late emperor would pick her up in a few days, and the other concubines thought the same way.

However, no one could have imagined that His Majesty would be so cruel and imprison Lin for more than ten years at once.

Moreover, Lin's ability to come out of the cold palace was not an imperial decree issued by the first emperor.

It was because of Qin Li's ascension to the throne that she became the empress dowager naturally.

Among things, the east is respected, so Wu, who was originally a queen, became the queen mother of the east, and she can only be the queen mother of the west.

In fact, to be honest, Emperor Tianqin didn't think of this biological mother, Lin's ability to become the Empress Dowager was due to Wei Ning's reminder.

So from the moment he entered the cold palace, the Lin family never saw the late emperor again. Since he had never seen him, how could he listen to the late emperor's praise of King Qinghe's wisdom.

But it doesn't matter, Qin Lin likes this sentence very much, so the smile on his lips grows deeper.

"Where is the mother, the son is just a little clever, and the emperor is the real cleverness."

At the mention of Emperor Tian Qin, Lin's face drooped, and he walked back with a cold snort.

Qin Lin naturally wanted to ask the reason, "What's wrong with the queen mother? Is it because the emperor's brother is busy with court affairs, so he has no time to see the queen mother, which made the queen mother angry?"

"It would be great if it was such a trivial matter." Lin snorted again.

Seeing this, Qian Momo hurriedly sent out all the maids and eunuchs in the palace.

Mrs. Lin was in a good mood today, so she didn't want to mention that matter, so she said, "Stop talking, you have heard interesting things in Beijing these days, please tell me about it with your mother."

Lin didn't mention it, but Qin Lin didn't want to let go of this good opportunity.

He bowed first, and then smiled, "Congratulations to my mother, I heard that there is a famous Linglong Pavilion in Shengjing, and I found out that the person behind it is named Lin, so it must be the shop opened by my mother's family. "
