temple fair
Gu Yu frowned when she saw the letter, the little angel Ah Xi lowered her head and explained: "In addition to the palace, the king of Mobei also has a private house on Temple Street in the east of the city. Go to the private house and talk."
Although the Gu family is not as good-sighted as the royal dark guards, they have collected a lot of private affairs of those ministers on weekdays. As a person specially trained by the Gu family to serve the queen mother, Ah Xi naturally knows something.
After listening to her words, Gu Yu's brows relaxed slightly, but she was still a little puzzled.
Why did the king of Mobei ask him to meet him? And if there are any things that can't be said in the palace, they will go to the private house outside the palace instead.
She thought about it, but still had some doubts.
The plot point closest to me is that after the heroine was released from prison, when the emperor sent someone to punish Ah Xi with an excuse in order to vent her anger, she was furious and punished Fu Jinming.
The story of King Mobei asking her to go out is not in the original book at all.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu paused slightly in her heart, but at least she has experienced two worlds, and now she is not so easy to lose her composure.
She discussed with the system in her heart, but decided to stay the same and go out to see what he was going to do before it was too late to make plans.
So after Ah Xi bowed, Gu Yu's expression lightened slightly, and she motioned for Ah Xi to get a pen.
She only wrote one sentence on the back of the note, and the bold and strong handwriting pierced through the back of the paper. Gu Yu withdrew her hand, tied the note to the leg of the pigeon, and then said: "Take it to the window."
The Queen Mother's voice was calm. Although Ah Xi was a little curious about what was written on it, she still picked up the pigeon and placed it by the window.
The weather outside was gloomy, and the white figure quickly disappeared. Gu Yu withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention to it.
Over there, Xie Xiao was about to take a bath when he saw the carrier pigeon come back, fluttering its wings and listening to the window coffin.
He paused with his fingertips, put the outer shirt aside, and reached out to untie the note on it. The front was still his invitation, Xie Xiao was a little dumb, and only saw a sentence when he turned to the back.
"As you wish."
The simple four words are also Gu Yu's style.
He had never seen the queen mother's handwriting before, and this was the first time. Wei Wei was somewhat unexpected. Gu Yu's handwriting is not ordinary women's hairpin lowercase, but an extremely neat and solemn font, which makes people look at it. At first, they thought it was written by a man.
He couldn't help reaching out to touch the handwriting, and then slowly retracted his hand.
When the guard came in to add cold water, he folded the note and put it in his clothes.
"My lord, it's ready." The guard bowed.
The prince has always bathed in cold water these days, it seems strange in this weather. Even though the servants were curious, none of them dared to ask, and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
There were also a few pieces of ice in the tub.
After Xie Xiao put the things away, he pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "I see, you guys go down."
Seeing that he had no other orders, the guards bowed and retreated.
Xie Xiao's eyes paused, and when he closed the door, he took off his underwear and sat in the ice bucket.
Gu Yu didn't know what Xie Xiao was enduring every day. The life in the palace looked enjoyable, but because there were too few entertainment items, it was sometimes boring.
Gu Yu went to bed early one day, and her schedule was comparable to that of the aunts in the park.
Even she herself felt a little unbelievable. After Ashila closed the curtain, she quickly fell asleep. This feeling went straight to the next afternoon.
Thinking of the agreement with Xie Xiao, Gu Yu still struggled to get up.
Ah Xi had already been waiting outside the door. Seeing Gu Yu's pale face, she couldn't help but frowned slightly after opening the door. She didn't ask carefully until she finished combing her clothes, "The Queen Mother seems to be very lethargic these days, why don't you let the imperial doctor come to see you tomorrow?" look?"
Gu Yu also found that she slept a little too much recently, and she always seemed to be unable to wake up, but she had a record of sleeping for a day before, so it was not particularly surprising.
After hearing Ah Xi's words, she didn't think much about it, she simply thought that it might be because there have been many rainy days recently, and people are always unconsciously sleepy.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager shook her head slightly, Ah Xi knew that she had always disliked the smell of medicine, so she could only suppress the doubts in her heart, and did not ask the imperial physician again.
The weather outside was gloomy, and it was already drizzling during the short period of dressing up.
The spring rain is so gentle, Gu Yu kind of misses the days when she was a goose and could freely soak in the rain. But these thoughts are covered up after thinking about it.
Because she was going out of the palace, troubles would inevitably arise after being seen by others, Ah Xi took off the hibiscus jade hairpin, and handed a few new ones to Gu Yu, Gu Yu looked back and said lightly: " That magnolia?"
Ah Xi responded, bent down and pinned the hairpin to the temple.
Her brows and eyes are tired, but she has a bit of a sense of coldness. This kind of dress is really interesting.
It was already evening when Gu Yu left the palace, and the carriage that she had ordered before stopped at the side. In order to deceive others, she did not bring Ah Xi with her, but only a few guards, and she went out through the side door of the palace pretending to be an ordinary married woman.
Ah Xi leaned over and watched the racecourse leave, for some reason, he had a bad premonition today. She shook her head, secretly thought that she was thinking too much, and put this matter aside.
The rain had not stopped when the carriage left. Gu Yu opened the curtains and glanced at the crowded crowd in the busy city even though it was dark.
"It looks very lively." She said systematically in her heart.
Mr. System smiled: "If you want, you can go shopping when you come back."
His voice was a little doting at some point.
Gu Yu was a little skeptical, the system was too easy to talk this time, and he didn't even object to Gaoling Zhihua going to the temple fair or something.
Just as she was thinking, the carriage had passed through the alley and arrived at the door of a house.
For some unknown reason, Xie Xiao had been waiting here for a long time. After seeing the stopped carriage, he paused in his heart, and slowly leaned over: "The Queen Mother."
Gu Yu was helped out of the car by the guards, looking at the man in the scarlet robe in front of her, her eyes paused slightly.
"King Mobei." She nodded lightly as a response.
Although the rain outside was not too heavy, it still wet her brows and temples. Xie Xiao glanced at it, stepped forward slightly, and put the umbrella on her shoulder.
"Although it's spring, the Empress Dowager must also take care of her body." He spoke respectfully, but there were other emotions when he listened carefully.
Gu Yu didn't realize it, but after Xie Xiao opened the umbrella for her, she thanked her slightly.
When she came out this time, because she didn't know what to discuss, Gu Yu didn't stay outside for long, and followed Xie Xiao into the courtyard. Because of the umbrella, the two got closer.
Xie Xiao could smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms on her body, which was much better than those carefully prepared spices. He paused in his heart, but remained calm on his face.
Until entering the house, Gu Yu took a step away from him.
A guard had already pulled away the chair, Gu Yu took off his cloak, and when Xie Xiao was also seated, he got straight to the point: "The king of Mobei said in his letter that he had something to discuss with the palace, can we talk about it now?"
She was sitting there in plain clothes, and the white cloak beside her made her temperament even more cold. There has never been any hypocrisy in Gu Yu, she is what she says.
The teacup was placed on the table, her tone was cold.
Xie Xiao paused with his fingertips, but he was not angry. But when Gu Yu looked over, he said in a low voice: "Xie Xiao does have something to discuss with the Queen Mother, and this matter has a lot to do with Jin Jiangshan."
When talking about the Great Jin Jiangshan, Gu Yu's eyes finally changed slightly.
She wondered in her heart what this Mobei king was selling, but he actually used Dajin Jiangshan as an example. Could it be that the heroine said something to him that made him want to kill himself, the villain, in advance
Thinking in her heart, Gu Yu couldn't help but thumped a bit, thinking that she might have really underestimated the enemy when she left the palace this time, and she should have brought more people with her earlier.
Even though that sentence had caused a lot of speculation in her heart, on the face, Gu Yu was only surprised for a moment, and then recovered her composure.
"What does King Mobei want to say?" She raised her eyes and asked coldly.
Xie Xiao smiled, but instead of answering the question Gu Yu wanted to know, he asked, "Has the Queen Mother ever visited a temple fair?"
temple fair
Gu Yu didn't understand why this was brought up again, but she still shook her head.
A smile flashed across Xie Xiao's handsome face, and against the backdrop of the red dress, there was even a hint of romanticism. Gu Yu heard him say: "The most important thing, Xie Xiao wants to say it last."
He changed the topic and said again: "Since I have already left the palace, I wonder if the Queen Mother is interested in accompanying Xie to visit this folk night scene?"
Gu Yu felt that she might have been tricked.
Her brows and eyes turned cold, she looked at Xie Xiao lightly, and said in a cold voice, "Does King Mobei know what he is talking about?"
The atmosphere was stagnant, and the servants quickly lowered their heads, only Xie Xiao was still smiling.
He looked at Gu Yu, and said slowly: "I just want to invite the Queen Mother to watch the temple fair together. After all, Xie Xiao will return to Mobei soon, and I don't know how long it will take to see such a scene again."
Gu Yu keenly grasped the word Hui Mobei, which was a little strange.
But looking at the smile in the man's eyes, he knew that if he didn't accompany him for a walk, he might not know anything. So she could only pause for a moment, and said coldly: "Then let King Mobei lead the way."
She stood up, leaning on her cloud temples, making the magnolia hairpin seem to sway into the bottom of my heart. But what called Xie Xiao's deep eyes the most was the color of snow.
When Gu Yu turned her head, the cold and girly face hit her eyes, making Xie Xiao's heart tremble, and she closed her eyes to forcefully suppress the aroused drug.
The two went to the temple fair, but they didn't expect that the atmosphere in the palace was already solemn at this time.
Ah Xi originally returned to the palace after seeing off the Queen Mother, but he did not expect His Majesty to come in the evening. At this moment, hearing the stern emperor in front of him ask quietly about the Queen Mother's whereabouts, he couldn't help but pause in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has not been feeling well recently, and she has already fallen asleep." She bent down to signal, and the palace people also knelt down.
After all, Gu Yu is the queen mother, if she is not feeling well and doesn't want to see people, Fu Jinming can't do it even if she is hard. That's why Ah Xi dared to say that.
The hall was quiet, no one dared to speak at this time, everyone thought that His Majesty would leave after being rejected.
But she didn't expect that after hearing this answer, the emperor, who is usually not temperamental, lowered his eyes lightly, and said in a clear voice:
"Since that's the case, I happened to bring the imperial physician here, why don't we take a look for the queen mother together."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant knew what His Majesty meant and opened the door.
The vermilion palace door was pushed open with a creak, revealing the empty hall inside.
There is no one there!
Ah Xi knelt down on the ground with a thud.
