When the maidservant went to report back and asked the emperor if he wanted to stay for dinner, the two were hugging each other and whispering, it was really sweet, Heng Jia didn't dare to go into the courtyard, so she slightly raised her voice and asked.
Gu Jingyang did not answer in a hurry, but asked Xie Hualang: "Have you packed your luggage?"
"Ah," Xie Hualang didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's packed."
"Then stay here tonight," Gu Jingyang said, "After dinner, follow me back to the palace."
"You're welcome," Xie Hualang was a little embarrassed, squinted at him, and said, "It's not yet the time to say 'return'."
On the contrary, Gu Jingyang didn't care much, and said calmly: "It's only sooner or later."
Lu Shi sent someone to ask before, just as a courtesy, after all, although the emperor had stayed in the mansion for dinner before, but they were all with his daughter, and he had never dined with them, so he agreed suddenly, but he was not used to it.
Although she felt strange in her heart, she didn't say it out of her mouth. She ordered her servants to prepare, and also asked someone to inform Xie Yan, Xie Ling, Yongyihou and his son.
When Yongyihou and his son came to Xie's house, they didn't know that the emperor was there, but now they heard that they were a little surprised.
Lu's and Liu's are women's relatives, Xie Hualang and Xie Ying are girls who are waiting to be married, of course they will not attend together, and they have prepared wine and dishes. It is not only a small gathering, but also a comfort for Xie Ying's today's affairs.
At the end of the banquet, the lights in the inner room were already lit. Gu Jingyang had something else to say to Xie Yan, so he didn't leave first. After Yongyihou asked him to resign, he went back to the mansion with Lin Chong, and walked far away from Xie's house. Just then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty really loves the daughter of Chong Xie's family very much."
"It's natural," Lin Chongdao: "The harem has been vacant for so many years before it has an owner. If you didn't really like it, how could you choose it?"
Seeing that he understood clearly, Yong Yihou was a little satisfied, and a little drunk after drinking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The wedding is coming soon, you often go to Xie's house, I don't have much communication with Xie's daughter, but listen to your mother In other words, his character and appearance are all outstanding."
"Yes," Lin Chongshun said obediently, "My son knows."
When Xie Hualang and Gu Jingyang left Xie's house together, the night was already very dark. The lanterns outside the gate of Xie's house were lit at some time, and the lights were also lit on both sides of the road. quiet-
After all, it's almost curfew.
Xie Hualang knows how to ride a horse, and he is not ashamed of it because the atmosphere is open nowadays. Even painting two beards and dressing up as a man are fashionable.
The ancestors of the royal family used to be the generals of the Zhu Kingdom in the former dynasty, and they also won the world on horseback. Gu Jingyang was raised by Emperor Taizong Wen, so he was naturally proficient in bowing horses.
His posture is also good, even on horseback, his back is straight, as if it has been measured by a ruler, Xie Hualang's heart is itching to see it, and he can't help but want to tease him, but it's not just the two of them now Now, it's hard to speak.
Gu Jingyang didn't notice her expression before, when he came to the gate of the palace, he suddenly turned his head and asked her: "Zhizhi, have you been to the palace before?"
"I've been in once." Xie Hualang didn't expect him to ask this, but he was slightly taken aback, and after recovering, he said: "But I was still very young at that time, so I don't really remember it."
"I was only twelve years old when Jiulang came to the throne, and I was young before that, so I ordered my wife to visit the palace, so naturally she wouldn't take me with me." Recalling the past, she felt a little emotional for a while: "It was my brother who married the county magistrate. Afterwards, I forgot which year it was, Tianhou suddenly mentioned that the Xie family is full of Zhilan Yushu, and also wanted to meet the girl from the Xie family, so A Niang took me into the palace."
Hearing her mention of Empress Zheng, Gu Jingyang's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not displeased with the past, but asked with a smile: "How do you feel after seeing Empress Zheng?"
"It's been so long, I actually can't remember what she looks like." Xie Hualang saw that he wasn't shy, so he didn't hide it. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "She seems very beautiful, but I don't dare to look up at her. , At that time, the King of Yue had just started an incident in the fiefdom, and the situation in Chang'an was turbulent, and many people were killed"
The following words were a bit difficult to say, so she stopped there. Gu Jingyang also understood, and said gently: "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if you are rude, Tianhou will not care about you. Although I don't like her, I have to admit that , her mind is wider than most people in the world."
Although Xie Hualang also experienced Queen Zheng proclaiming himself emperor, he was still young at that time. Hearing that a woman ascended the throne and became emperor, he was more surprised, but he didn't know much about the inside story. When he was a little older and Queen Zheng abdicated , Empress Zheng has become a person who cannot be mentioned.She smiled suddenly, glanced at her back, and followed her again.
There are quite a few palace attendants serving in the Tai Chi Hall, and it was already dark, so Xie Hualang certainly couldn't recognize each one of them. This time she entered the palace, she was accompanied by Caiqing Caisu, and the two of them took care of her personal matters. In addition, Gu Jingyang pointed out six palace servants to her, and after seeing the ceremony, he put the things she brought down.
Gu Jingyang is very polite and restrained in his bones, except for this little enemy, but even so, he strictly abides by the rules in some things.
There is a difference between men and women, so naturally they don't stay in the same place when they rest at night. They have already ordered people to find another palace in the back hall and clean it out to live with her.
Xie Hualang glanced roughly, and said, "Jiulang, where are you resting?"
Gu Jingyang led her to see it, and also recognized the way.
Unexpectedly, Xie Hualang saw him, and did not hide his surprise: "You sleep in such a big bed alone?"
There was nothing indecent at first, but she seemed to be indecent when she said that. Gu Jingyang paused and explained: "Zhizhi, that's how the rules are."
"That's great!" Xie Hualang didn't think in the wrong direction, and said enviously: "I love kicking the quilt when I sleep. When I was a child, my biggest wish was to have a very big quilt and a very big bed."
Gu Jingyang has also stayed in her room before, and has seen the bed in the bedroom, but he has never seen the other girls in the boudoir, so there is no comparison.
It's just that he never thought she would say that, so he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly to cover it up, and asked, "What happened next?"
"There's no future," Xie Hualang said regretfully, "Auntie said it's not good for an unmarried girl to sleep in a big bed, the bed is too small, and the quilt can't be too big, so this matter has been shelved."
Gu Jingyang looked at her and said, "That's it."
Xie Hualang was unaware of his unspoken feelings at the moment, and reluctantly said to him: "Sooner or later, it will all be mine."
Gu Jingyang said: "Yes."
The emperor's dormitory has a higher standard than the minister's mansion. After all, it is the place where we will live together in the future. Xie Hualang walked around with great interest, and Gu Jingyang accompanied him patiently.
There is another suite on the east side of the bedroom, but the door is closed. Xie Hualang asked, "Can I go in?"
Gu Jingyang nodded and said, "It's the nearest study."
Xie Hualang pushed the door open, and after turning in, he saw a bookshelf as tall as a person. On one side of the bookshelf, there were desks, chairs, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc., and walking inside, it was separated by a light gauze curtain. Some of the dormitories are quite exquisitely furnished, as if they are places for people to rest temporarily.
Xie Hualang turned his head and said unhappy: "Why is the bed here so big?"
Gu Jingyang said: "The regulations are like this."
There was no one around, and the servants were all waiting outside the door, so Xie Hualang leaned over, frowned, and whispered, "It's great to be the emperor!"
Gu Jingyang coaxed her: "The Queen's regulations are also very high."
Xie Hualang's heart was itching, he moved closer, and asked in a low voice: "Can I live here?"
"How can this be done?" Gu Jingyang said: "It's not proper for you to be unmarried."
"I've already entered the palace, what are you talking about?" Xie Hualang retorted, "It's too late!"
"Living together in the same place is too outrageous But what you said also makes sense," Gu Jingyang said, "Okay." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
