The ambergris in the hall was burning quietly, and the incense ash fell slightly into the carving furnace. When Fu Jinming lowered his eyes, the people in the hall did not dare to breathe, so they had to lower their heads carefully.
The memorial was ruined by a drop of ink, Fu Jinming withdrew his hand, and after a long time he asked calmly, "Is the king of Mobei inviting you?"
With Gu Yu's temperament, it is impossible to take the initiative to swim with others. After he recovered, he thought of the key point.
Seeing His Majesty's calm expression, the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, and then said cautiously: "I heard from the people at the racecourse that we just met by chance."
Fu Jinming pursed his lips, and the gloomy look in his eyes gradually dissipated.
He really didn't like Gu Yu and Xie Xiao together. Xie Xiao was the king of Mobei, and he conquered the country with the former emperor. Over the years, he has supported himself in the army. Although he didn't participate in the court affairs, everyone wanted to win him over.
As for Gu Yu, not to mention, half of the Forbidden Army in the capital is from the Gu family. If these two people come together to form an alliance, it will inevitably make people think too much.
Fu Jinming's position as the new emperor is not stable, which is why he has repeatedly tolerated Gu Yu.
These well-known internal affairs made the palace people dare not say more, for fear of offending the emperor's suspicion again.
After saying that, the grinder next to him also knelt down.
No one knows, but when Fu Jinming suddenly heard the news, his first reaction was not those conspiracies. It was Gu Yu. That cold and charming face flashed from my mind, so fast that people could hardly grasp it.
Fu Jinming thought of her cold eyes when she left last night, and paused with his fingertips.
The eunuch didn't dare to say a word, the wind from the curtain blew away the aloes in the hall, Fu Jinming looked at it calmly and withdrew his hand, when the palace servant came over to put away the memorial, he suddenly said: "From now on, you will report to me every day about the Empress Dowager."
The eunuch was startled, a little uncertain what His Majesty meant, but he still bowed his head in response.
Gu Yu didn't know what was going on in the hall, so after riding the horse for a few laps, she reined in the horse's rope and stopped.
The white horse came out from the clearing, she was born cold, even under such circumstances, her complexion was still as ice and snow, without any trace of fatigue. But the sun shone slightly, but it was still eye-catching.
Immediately, the beauty's skin was translucent, and it was warmer than the best white jade Xie Xiao had ever seen. Under such extreme coldness, she unexpectedly gave birth to a sensual beauty, like a cold blade, which cannot be ignored.
Xie Xiao followed her unconsciously, and when he saw Gu Yu stop, he took the initiative to lead the horse, and praised in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is really good at riding."
Anyone who said such words was flattering, but Xie Xiao was different. In his capacity, there is no need to curry favor with Gu Yu. He used to be the number one general in the Jin Dynasty, and he lived and died on the battlefield for several years. Unless he really recognized a person, he would not say such a thing.
No one doesn't like being praised, and of course Gu Yu, who is routinely farted by the system, is the same.
After hearing this, she glanced at Xie Xiao, and felt that he was not as annoying as yesterday. But after all, they are male protagonists, no matter what, they will eventually become enemies.
Gu Yu regained her composure at the thought of this, and felt that she could not lose her vigilance by being bombarded by sugar-coated shells.
The white horse had already stopped, and she got off the horse and handed the whip to the trainer behind her. Then he turned his eyes and said to Xie Xiao indifferently: "I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, so I can't compare with King Mobei. If there are so many horses in Mobei, King Mobei should be better at riding."
She is always merciless when she speaks, and she doesn't care about the compliment just now.
Considering Gu Yu's status, there is nothing wrong with that. Just the identity of the queen mother is enough to make people dare not say much, not to mention, there is that extremely prosperous appearance.
Xie Xiao himself was born romantic and handsome, so he naturally knew why Gu Yu had such a temper. Only then did he feel that the current queen mother is just a young girl, even though she holds a lot of power, she is still a child.
At least for someone like him who has lived through the past emperors for decades, he is indeed a child.
The man in the scarlet robe had a smile in his eyes, and he just shook his head when he heard this: "Mobei is not as good as His Highness thinks."
There are only countless cold days and cold moons in Mobei, and those soldiers with wolfish blood rolling in their blood, Xie Xiao himself is. No matter how prosperous the capital is these years, he always prefers the feeling of being on the battlefield. So change your bowels and have more fun on weekdays.
Before, I thought that Mr. Zhou who stole the dragon and turned the phoenix was interesting, but now it is a bit boring.
Calculative people are fun, but not cute. When the interests that have been painstakingly shown are explored, there is only a body that is no different from others.
Xie Xiao has seen countless such bodies.
He lowered his eyes and smiled, beckoning the trainer to take the horse down.
Gu Yu watched his actions and didn't say anything. Ah Xi had already ordered someone to prepare some fruits, it was hot at noon, Gu Yu was not in good health, and after running around the racecourse for a long time, it was inevitable that she would feel a little hot.
She is born without sweat, no matter how hot it is, she is only pale and not embarrassed.
Ah Xi handed the ice water to Gu Yu, and Gu Yu was about to drink it when she suddenly remembered that she was the queen mother after all, so it seemed a little bad to eat alone like this.
So his eyes paused, and he said lightly to Xie Xiao: "The imperial dining room has newly made some sugar water to relieve the heat, King Mobei should try it too."
She thought Xie Xiao would refuse, but who knew that he just smiled and took it calmly.
"Thank you Queen Mother for the reward." He spoke calmly, unable to hear other meanings, but asked Gu Yugao to take a look at him.
On the day when Gu Yu became the empress dowager, when he personally bestowed poisonous wine on the concubines of the former emperor, what the empress dowager bestowed in the palace became a taboo. After all, no one wants to be poisoned by negligence in the next second.
But Xie Xiao has no scruples. He took the bowl handed by the palace man and drank it all in one gulp, with a calm expression, even the servant behind him stopped him from stepping forward.
The cold water slid down the throat, making people feel more comfortable. Gu Yu took a look at Xie Xiao, handed the bowl to Ah Xi who had been serving him for a long time, took the handkerchief, and said lightly:
"It's past noon and the weather is hot, so I won't stay at the racecourse. King Mobei please do what you want."
Going back to the dormitory is also very boring. Although Gu Yu also wanted to stay here for a while, she felt that Xie Xiao was acting weird and always unhappy, so she could only pretend to be tired and say so.
Ah Xi had already held up the umbrella at this time, and Gu Yu was about to leave, but Xie Xiao bowed and said: "It just so happens that I am going to the Library Pavilion, and I happen to be on the same road as the Queen Mother, why don't we go together?"
Gu Yu's bedroom is within the red wall, but it is only separated from the library by a garden. Xie Xiao is not wrong to say so.
Gu Yu glanced at him, wondering why the hero had to go back with her, but she just nodded slightly: "There is more than one road in this palace, the king of Mobei can do whatever he wants."
Xie Xiao lowered his eyes and smiled, walking behind.
But the servant behind him was a little strange. Didn't the prince say that he only went to Zangshuge in the evening? Why go now. He glanced at the deer that had been hunted in the hunting ground over there, but he didn't dare to ask about it out of curiosity.
The way back to the palace was not far away, Gu Yu didn't like to sit and walk, so she kept walking. And Xie Xiao didn't say much, he just followed behind, as if he was really just going the same way.
Gu Yu complained in her heart and the system that this person was not conscious at all, but she still didn't say a word in order to maintain the character design.
Although Gu Yu is ruthless, she never cares about small things.
What's more, in the early stage of the story, the Gu family wanted to win over King Mobei, so even if Gu Yu had a bad attitude, she would not deliberately embarrass him.
In the afternoon, the weather got hotter, and everyone around was sweating slightly. Ah Xi's handkerchief was already a little wet, but Gu Yu's face was like snow.
Xie Xiao once heard that there is a tribe full of beauties in the extreme cold of the North, and all the beauties are natural beauties, but for some reason, even if he has never seen those world-famous beauties in the cold land, Xie Xiao subconsciously felt that they would Not as good as Gu Yu.
Not only the appearance, but also the temperament.
There are many beauties in this world who are completely ignorant of the world, but there are few people like Gu Yu who are indifferent and clean even in the dirtiest place in the world.
After two days of contact, Xie Xiao's first impression of Gu Yu was clean.
No matter whether she is murderous or unreasonable, she can't shake her heart. Gu Yu always has a layer of alienation that is different from the world. She is not like the Queen Mother who controls the life and death of all people, but more like the Gushe Immortal who kills and stops killing, without a trace of power/desire/aura.
Xie Xiao paused when he thought of this, and suddenly laughed when he looked at Gu Yu's back.
Gu Yu didn't see what was going on behind her, and only stopped when she walked to the garden. Her bedroom is on the right, and the library is on the left.
Ah Xi knew her intentions, and immediately stepped forward to remind her in a low voice: "My lord, it's time to part ways here."
Of course Xie Xiao knew.
He smiled and raised his eyes slightly: "Thank you Queen Mother, but I have something to say before I leave."
Gu Yu didn't know what he was going to say, but she still turned around.
She used to have a cold expression, but at this moment she frowned slightly with a hint of perplexity. The two were not far away, Gu Yu turned around and just saw Xie Xiao's jaw.
He looked thin, but he was also much taller. When he got close, Gu Yu couldn't even see his face, but could only smell a faint scent of sandalwood.
The maid in the garden lowered her head, but Xie Xiao didn't speak for a long time. Gu Yu couldn't help but frowned slightly, and in the next second, she saw the vermilion official robe brushing in front of her, and a hand with sharp bones rested in her hair.
Seeing this, Ah Xi held his breath in shock, for a moment he didn't know whether he should open his mouth to scold the disciple who offended the Queen Mother. But Xie Xiao didn't seem to notice what he had done. After brushing through his hair, he said lightly: "There are fallen flowers in the Queen Mother's hair."
Before Gu Yu could react, Xie Xiao withdrew his hand, and a piece of falling flowers was indeed caught on his fingertips.
Her eyes paused, she swallowed the reprimand she was about to blurt out, and met Xie Xiao's eyes. But found that there was even a faint smile in his eyes, as if he was really sincere.
The atmosphere was a bit stagnant, but it was the maid in the garden next to her who reacted, lowered her eyes and knelt down and said, "It's my servant's negligence. The rain has hit the flowers and branches recently, and the branches are loose. This servant did not clean up the old leaves in time. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."
Wu knelt beside her, and Gu Yu couldn't vent her anger no matter how angry she was. In the end, he could only pursed his lips, and said coldly: "Just now, I am sorry for you, King Mo Bei."
Xie Xiao smiled and didn't speak, but the red clothes set off the handsome face, and there was a bit of casual banter.
Gu Yu's eyes became a little colder, she didn't look at him again, turned around and walked into the other side of the garden.
It wasn't until the maid disappeared that Xie Xiao chuckled and looked at Luohua at his fingertips.
The flower didn't have the original scent, instead it was tainted with Gu Yu's scent. He thought of the light cold plum scent on Gu Yu's body when he was close to Gu Yu just now, and his brows relaxed a little: "The temperament is also in line with this scent."
The petal was twisted into the sleeve, and Xie Xiao also turned and went to the other side.
Gu Yu went all the way back to the bedroom, because of what happened in the garden just now, no one dared to speak at this time, even Ah Xi was silent.
She herself was actually not that angry, she just brushed off the flowers, and it wasn't a big deal, but considering the original owner's haughty character, it was considered disrespectful. She could only pretend to be cold-faced, and went all the way back to the palace.
This way back, although the distance is not far, but in the end it is a bit tiring. Gu Yu originally thought that after returning to the palace, she would be able to relax by waving Axi and the others away, but she did not expect to find an unexpected guest after returning to the palace.
Fu Jinming, who was supposed to be in the Hall of Qinzheng, came here at some point, and was standing in the courtyard with his arms behind his hands.
Gu Yu looked at Ah Xi, but she also shook her head slightly, expressing that she didn't know.
Seeing Gu Yu approaching, Fu Jinming bowed his head slightly and saluted: "See the Queen Mother."
He saw Gu Yuyijia from a distance, people like Gu Yu were always easy to spot in the crowd. That white dress almost shook people's minds.
Fu Jinming thought about her riding a horse with Xie Xiao today, his eyes paused, and when he smelled the cold fragrance, he slowly got up.
Gu Yu originally wanted to rest, but when the emperor came, she couldn't drive out, so she had to stop.
"Your Majesty always visits the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and today is not a day to greet you. It's a bit strange to come to see me suddenly." She pursed her lips and spoke suddenly when Fu Jinming raised her head.
The sunny light in the courtyard shone through the tops of the pear blossom trees and shone on Gu Yu's cold face. It was clearly a shimmering scene, but somehow there was no warmth at all.
She was born as if made of ice and snow.
This thought flashed through Fu Jinming's mind, and he suddenly wanted to know what her expression would be when she got bad news about her sister.
His eyes paused, and when he saw the coldness in Gu Yu's eyes, he still said: "I only received the news this afternoon, and I am afraid that the queen mother will be worried, so I came here to inform the queen mother."
"Second Miss Gu disappeared an hour ago."
