When Gu Jingyang left, it was not long after noon, and there was still some hours before the sun set.
Heng Jia stayed outside, ready to call inside at any time, Cai Su was considerate, seeing the hot weather, specially sent sour plum soup to the servants, that one was about to be used up, and Heng Jia was waiting for someone to continue. But seeing Gu Jingyang coming out, he hastily greeted him.
"Your Majesty, have you rested?" He asked casually.
Gu Jingyang's cold and detached face showed a hint of anxiety, he only frowned, but said nothing.
Seeing this, Heng Jia was surprised, glanced into the inner room calmly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is at odds with Your Majesty again?"
Gu Jingyang's heart ached from Xie Hualang's tears. Seeing her so disappointed again, he felt depressed in his heart. He didn't have the heart to answer him. He glanced at him lightly and said, "Go back to the palace."
Heng Jia didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he answered, followed and left together.
Due to Gu Jingyang's status, there is no reason to go in and out of the side door. However, when people can see the main entrance of Xie's house from a distance, it happens that Xie Yan is returning home, so they happen to meet each other.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yan met here, and hurriedly bowed to salute, Gu Jingyang agreed, and originally wanted to leave, but remembering that the wedding was complicated, and there were other things that needed to be told, so he stopped again, and went with Xie Yan The main hall went to talk.
A servant brought tea, but Gu Jingyang had no intention of using it. He lifted the lid of the teacup and put it on gently again: "The day of the big wedding is set on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. Shiming must have known it already."
Shiming is Xie Yan's character.
He responded: "Yes. The Fuchu is already making preparations."
Gu Jingyang nodded, and said: "As usual, when a queen is registered, her mother's family should be honored, and this time is no exception. The Ministry of Rites discussed a few words. I think 'Liang Guogong' is very good, so I decided on this."
Although Xie Yan had expected it long ago, he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that it was a foregone conclusion. After standing up and thanking him, he said again: "The title has always been inherited by the eldest son, but the eldest son of the minister is still a good-for-nothing, and he already has a grandson"
Gu Jingyang understood the unfinished meaning of his words, and when he mentioned his grandson, he was just afraid that the head of Shujia County would have a son in the future, which would cause discord for the title, so he said: "Xingyu has a good character, and he is the eldest son, so naturally he should inherit it." In the position of the eldest son, his eldest son should naturally also be the grandson."
Xie Yan hurriedly thanked him.
The afternoon sun was long and slanted into the inner room, and the long-necked crabapple porcelain vase on the table was a little dazzling.
Gu Jingyang was dazzled for a moment, paused for a moment, then suddenly looked sideways at Xie Yan, and said: "A few days ago, the prince of Wei Wang entered the palace and asked me to give him a marriage."
He picked up the cup of tea on the case, and took a sip slowly: "I asked someone, and it seems that the one he wants to marry is also Shiming's daughter."
The ice urn at the four corners of the inner room was slowly breathing cold air, and Gu Jingyang's tone was also calm, but Xie Yan felt sweat on his back, flustered in his heart, and he couldn't sit still.
What does His Majesty mean by asking this?
He thinks the Xie family is betting everywhere?
God is sorry to see, that matter is entirely Xie Hui's own idea, and Xie Yan himself feels wronged!
He sighed in his heart, and was afraid of hurting the relationship between His Majesty and his daughter. After a little consideration, he could only say: "The little girl in the family is ignorant, and she has an affair with the prince of Wei. It is really"
Gu Jingyang's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "What do you think Shi Ming should do?"
Xie Yan said in a low voice: "My little girl is destined to have no relationship with her son. She caught a cold a few days ago and has been ill for a long time."
Gu Jingyang looked at him quietly for a while, and didn't say yes or no. When Xie Yan was feeling uneasy, he suddenly asked: "Shiming, how many concubines do you have?"
Xie Yan almost thought he heard it wrong, subconsciously said: "What did your majesty say?"
Gu Jingyang repeated: "I ask, how many concubines do you have?"
Xie Yan was puzzled, his expression stagnated, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
Nowadays, the atmosphere is open and prosperous, and even great Confucianism lectures are entertained by dancers. Among high-ranking families, it is common to keep family tricks, and people at that time thought it was elegant.
The emperor cultivated in the early years, and he had no one around him, at least no concubines with high status, so he was extremely clean.
Xie Yan has many Yingyingyanyans around him, but there are not many famous concubines, fearing that this will make the emperor feel that he is a child, he hesitated, and only said the latter: "There are four."
Gu Jingyang said: "Has Mrs. Xie had any disputes with Shiming because of this?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said: "Madam is virtuous and gentle, and has never had any disputes about it."
Gu Jingyang said: "Not once?"
"There never was." Xie Yan said: "Concubine Ji is just something for fun.field.
She is used to Yingda, and it is rare for her to be so sad. Caisu and Caiqing wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know where to start. She mentioned a few words, but was sent outside.
When Gu Jingyang arrived, those two people were guarding outside. Seeing him come back, they hurriedly greeted him.
Gu Jingyang said: "Where is Zhizhi, have you fallen asleep?"
"The servants don't know either," Cai Qing said in a low voice: "After His Majesty left, the girl cried for a long time, but the servants couldn't persuade them and were kicked out again. After so long, they might have fallen asleep."
Gu Jingyang felt a pain in his heart, deeply regretted that he shouldn't have said that to her just now, and motioned them to back down, before he went to the door, he called softly: "Zhizhi, Zhizhi?"
He called twice in succession and waited for a while, but he never heard any movement inside. When Xie Hualang had already fallen asleep and was about to open the door to enter, the door opened first.
Xie Hualang's hair was loose, and his eyes were pink, which was rather pitiful. After seeing him, he said in a hoarse voice: "Didn't you leave, why are you back?"
Gu Jingyang was really distressed, stretched out his arms to hold her hand, and hugged her again: "It was all my fault just now, Zhizhi, don't be upset, you can say whatever you like in the future, and I have no objection."
Xie Hualang didn't push him away, but he wasn't moved by it either, and said a little tiredly, "That's why you said that?"
"It's more than that." Gu Jingyang hugged her to sit on the table, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said in a low voice: "You once told me that you don't want to be like your parents, who are close on the surface but alienated in reality. Husband and wife, me too."
"Zhizhi, I sincerely regard you as my wife, and I beg you to treat me as a husband, as a husband and wife, okay?"
When she saw him for the first time, this man was cold and alienated. Even when he was kissed, his eyelashes would drop and his face would blush slightly. Now he can say such things.
The desk was a bit high, Xie Hualang sat on it, and was able to look straight into his eyes. She could see the tenderness and affection in his eyes, and she could also see his sincerity and sincerity at the moment.
She lowered her eyes, looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet, and said, "Jiulang, do you want to hear me tell the truth, or do you want to hear me tell lies?"
Gu Jingyang's heart sank slightly, and he said, "Of course it's the truth."
"Then I will tell you the truth." Xie Hualang raised his eyes, looked at him and said, "Not good."
"Husband and wife are close relatives, these four words are easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, and all aspects must be taken into account." Under his shocked gaze, she said softly: "I have no way to teach you one by one, and I don't want to teach you one by one. Another back and forth trial, my heart hurts, I don't want to make myself too uncomfortable."
"Jiulang, you are so much older than me, on the road of husband and wife, why do you want me to take care of you instead?"
"I'm also from a high school. I was educated by my parents since I was a child. I know that crooked is not good-looking, but I just want to be closer to you. I also know that talking too much will be annoying, but I just want to talk to you. If you like it, go big." I will tell you squarely."
"However, the person who always takes the initiative will find it hard after a long time."
"I'm a little tired."
Gu Jingyang was astonished, his eyes froze, he didn't know what to say for a while, but he knew that he should try his best to win back his sweetheart at this moment.
"Zhizhi, don't say such unfeeling words," he held her hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "I will change whatever you don't like about me."
"That's so tiring, I can't change my nature, and neither can you." Xie Hualang looked at the pearl on his embroidered shoes, raised his eyes and forced a smile: "Maybe I'm too naive, it's actually good to treat each other like a guest." (Remember Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
