"... Shuang'er in the seventh-rank master's house, you have wronged Aiqing too much, huh?"
The emperor smiled and broke the imperial brush in his hand.
Gou Liang silently moved an inch to the side, and said with a stiff face, "Wei Chen has already refused."
He was accompanied by Ye Xiao's deputy leader, so he couldn't hide such a big matter from the emperor, and the emperor knew that Gou Liang rejected Mrs. Chu immediately. He waited for Gou Liang to confess to himself, but he didn't expect to wait for three days and only waited for Mrs. Chu to see the news of several Shuang'er privately behind Gou Liang's back. this topic.
Gou Liang was questioned about all the details, and His Majesty the Emperor who just said "I love you, but it's okay, I forgive you for not guilty" is staring at him with a smile on his face.
The emperor snorted coldly and said: "Marriage is a major matter, the order of parents, I don't think your father may listen to your advice."
Gou Liang was startled, then frowned.
He also knew that Mrs. Chu hadn't given up, so he said stubbornly, "Anyway, I won't marry someone else."
The emperor also knew his embarrassment, seeing this, he hugged him on his lap, and said: "Why, you want me to just guard you without a name or title?"
Gou Liang was stunned, and then blushed, "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense."
"I speak well and never boast, and one day I will..." He didn't say anything after that, but asked him instead: "I have been wronged so much this time, have you thought about how to compensate me?"
Gou Liang squinted his eyes and laughed silently, as if racking his brains for a moment, said: "Spicy chicken?"
The emperor laughed at his seriousness.
Since the first night, Gou Liang has shown his true nature in front of the emperor.
The two of them are fine in private, anyway, the emperor will not doubt that he is not the true deity, and he especially loves to see the cute contrast between the former and the latter, and the specialness that is only shown to him.
Seeing that he was dissatisfied, Gou Lianglian said, "Boiled pork slices? Chopped pepper fish head? Spicy squid? Fried tofu? Spicy—huh!"
The emperor covered his mouth expressionlessly, and said cruelly: "Don't even think about it, the imperial doctor said you can't eat oily and spicy food."
"Well… "
Seeing his eyes full of tears, the emperor wavered between abstinence for three days and satisfying his appetite, kissed his forehead without sincerity, and said, "Good boy, listen to the doctor."
Gou Liang turned his head angrily.
The Shuang Er Nursing Handbook written by Imperial Physician Zheng to the emperor was detailed, and the emperor kept every item in mind.
The imperial doctor said that the staple food after intercourse should be light or else it will hurt the body, so he followed through.
How could Gou Liang bear it
After being tabooed for a month, he had already gone crazy, and it was always the things that were not allowed to be eaten that attracted people's attention.
He made jokes, obviously intending to evade the topic, and the emperor also took advantage of the situation to change the subject. Anyway, even if Gou Liang couldn't bear the pressure of filial piety, he wouldn't let Mrs. Chu make trouble.
Looking at the look of his eyes, the emperor knew that he must be planning to go home and secretly treat himself, so he tapped his forehead and warned: "If you let me know that you are obedient and vicious, I will surely To cure you."
Gou Liang was not afraid of him, the emperor was pleased with his favored and proud appearance, and said with a half-smile: "If you are disobedient, I will give a beauty to the general who protects the country, how about it?"
The general who protects the country is always strong, isn't Mrs. Chu always afraid that he will be seduced by the vixen outside
The emperor was eager to find something for him to do, so that he would not have to worry about Gou Liang's marriage.
Gou Liang was shocked by his shamelessness, and fell on his shoulders limply, and said weakly: "Wei... Chen... obey... the decree..."
The emperor laughed.
That being said, seeing how unhappy he was, he specially made a dish of medium-spicy boiled beef for dinner that night.
This made Gou Liang very happy, even though he was only allowed to eat two mouthfuls, he still kissed the emperor a few mouthfuls approvingly, and he didn't struggle when the emperor pestered him to change his shameful new posture at night.
However, they all underestimated Mrs. Chu's ability.
Gou Liang wanted to talk to him again, but Madam Chu released the news that Gou Liang was going to marry a wife with great fanfare in just one day.
The dignitaries in Beijing suddenly became active, and the ones who most wanted to marry Gou Liang were not the Qing nobles who were on the same level as his master and talent, but those nobles who had been neglected by the emperor for many years.
The Palace of the General Protecting the Nation was originally a family that was rarely used by the emperor, and getting married with them was also a way of surrendering to His Majesty the Emperor. It was impossible to let the unusable younger generations of the family find a way to be promoted.
Furthermore, who doesn't know that Gou Liang has won the Sacred Heart and has a bright future
As a result, the matchmaker almost broke through the threshold of the General Protector's Mansion in just a few days.
But on this occasion, Mrs. Chu brought a Shuang'er by her side in a high-profile way, and it was the Shuang'er of the seventh-rank master book family that Mrs. Chu preferred.
He really worked hard to find this person. He is gentle and virtuous, good at housekeeping, and more importantly, he suffers from night blindness. Being with his son not only does not have to be afraid of revealing secrets, but also has the ability to help his son in the future after he inherits the throne. RBI inside and out. And with his family background, even if one day he found out the truth, he would not dare to say more.
Mrs. Chu only said to the public that this Shuang'er had saved her when she was offering incense, and she was very grateful to him, but everyone could see his intentions with that intimacy.
For this reason, the dignitaries in Beijing and China are very sorry.
Zhou Xun even used the excuse of visiting his two cousins to pluck up the courage to confess his love to Gou Liang face to face.
But he didn't wait for the opportunity to meet Gou Liang, the latter rushed to the main courtyard as soon as he returned to the mansion, and before Mrs. Chu could stand back, he said: "Father, didn't I say that I would never marry a wife? What are you doing!"
Mrs. Chu was taken aback, and hurriedly dismissed the others, saying: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can anyone not get married when they are old, and you are still not married at this age, what do others think of you? People ask, Let Daddy and your father deal with themselves!"
The more guilty Mrs. Chu is, the more she wants her son to live a better life than a man, and he must have everything a man should have, otherwise it will inevitably lead to suspicion.
Gou Liang's face was gloomy, "Father, I'm not the only unmarried man in the world. When you bring him home, do you want people to see through our secrets and bring disaster to the family, or do you want an innocent twin to have sex?" Suffering, dying for our mistakes?!"
Mrs. Chu opened her mouth to say that her carefully selected twins would never reveal the secret, but after hearing the last sentence, she couldn't say anything.
Gou Liang knew that he was not a very cruel person, so he calmed down a little, and continued: "No matter what your thoughts are, you should stop in moderation."
"A mistake is a mistake. I have tried my best to cooperate with you and cover it up for you these years. It's not because I think you did the right thing, but because I don't want you to suffer for it. I just want to hide this matter in my life. I won't let my family suffer, and I won't let you down. But I'm not omnipotent... Dad, I've been through a lot of pain to hide this matter all these years. I'm really tired, and I don't want to be trembling outside every day. The person next to the pillow is pretending, you... understand?"
Madam Chu became sad, but she couldn't let go of this matter.
He said: "These things are not unbearable, Shiro, you should help your father. If you don't get married, how can your father pass the title to you?"
Gou Liang's face was livid, "Even if I'm married, I can't have children. In the future, the glory of the second-rank Marquis in the General Protector's Mansion will not be inherited by the elder brother's son? What's the point of your arguing about it?!"
"How could it be the same!"
Mrs. Chu said: "Even if it is a son left to Chu Qian, it must be an adoptive heir under your name, and also your son, my grandson, not just his Chu Qian's son."
When Gou Liang heard the words, he knew that he had planned for a long time, and couldn't help saying: "Father, why do you have to fight for something that doesn't belong to us at all? Even if the elder brother inherits it in the future, with his temperament, he will never disrespect you. Refund ten thousand Step by step, even if your descendants are unfilial, I will go before you, you have a royal order, who dare not give you face?"
Madam Chu: "Did I do this for myself? I did it for you!"
"for me?"
Gou Liang laughed, and tears fell instantly: "For me, you lie about my gender. For me, you want me to hide and fight for fame and fortune. For me, you want to kill an innocent Shuang'er? Dad, if you really did it for me, did you ever really think about what I want, what kind of life I want to live?"
"You haven't, never have! All you care about is whether I can inherit the throne and whether I can make you the real and only master of this mansion!"
"you!"
Mrs. Chu, whose selfishness was exposed, became furious and wanted to beat her.
But looking at the sad and tearful son who couldn't let go, he said in a bit of embarrassment: "Why can't you always understand my father's painstaking efforts? Wait for your father... Chu Qian is the only one in this house, you Do you still think that he will really give you his heart and soul? You have never tasted the feeling of being under the fence, what do you know?"
Mrs. Chu lost her parents since she was a child, and lived with her brother and sister-in-law. She suffered a lot of grievances.
Even if he later had the dignity of the main family of the Hou Mansion, he still felt very uncomfortable thinking about it, and he had vowed long ago that he would not let his son repeat the same mistakes.
Gou Liang was silent for a while, and in the end he didn't say anything to comfort him, he just said: "Father, no matter what, I will never marry Shuang'er. Before things get serious, you should stop thinking about it as soon as possible, so as not to blame you in the future. My son made you break your promise in front of outsiders to embarrass you. If you still insist on doing so, your son will simply have a showdown with his father, which will save us from worrying day and night."
"You, you are rebellious!"
Madam Chu was so angry that she really wanted to attack Gou Liang this time, but she didn't continue, but she yelled: "What are you doing?!"
Madam Chu shivered, and looked at General Chu who walked in from the door with a sullen face.
General Chu glanced at the red-eyed father and son, and frowned.
His youngest son was the least prone to anger, and he didn't know what the conflict was that made him so angry. Thinking of this, General Chu looked at Mrs. Chu with an unkind expression.
Having had a gentle and generous wife, it was difficult for General Chu to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the powerful and snobbish Mrs. Chu, and the relationship between husband and wife was average, and he had never been used to the aggressive way Mrs. Chu taught her son. But because there is no one from the whole school to follow the text, he himself has only a half-knowledge about it, so it is difficult to ask. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the hardships his son has endured these years. In the past, no matter how domineering Mrs. Chu was, she still held her own. But this time, seeing that he actually wanted to fight with her son, General Chu couldn't bear to come forward and scold him.
He sat down, held back his temper and said, "Why are you arguing so well? Shiro, what did you want to show off with Weifu just now?"
Madam Chu's face turned pale all of a sudden.
Gou Liang knelt down, "Father, I—"
"shut up!"
Mrs. Chu interrupted him sharply, and General Chu gave him a stern look, and still said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, we have nothing to hide from my husband, it's just a few words of quarrel."
"Shut up! Shiro, tell me."
How could General Chu trust his words, just listen to what Gou Liang said.
Gou Liang said: "Father, the son cannot get married because the son—"
"Shiro!"
"There is a hidden disease."
The screaming Madam Chu looked at Gou Liang in astonishment as if she had been strangled by the neck.
General Chu didn't notice this, and asked anxiously with a frown: "What hidden disease? Can it be cured?"
Gou Liang shook his head, and said: "Father must still remember the incident when his son was sent back from the palace by His Majesty two months ago. At that time, his father asked his son what happened, because it was related to the royal secrets. The son hid it from his father."
"Actually, someone poisoned His Majesty that day, and his son swallowed it by mistake. The medicine... made people not want to take it. When Dad said that he wanted to find his son's relatives, the son had already told him about it, and he didn't want to take the innocent lives of both children. But... Father was afraid that his son would embarrass himself in front of his colleagues, and he was also worried that outsiders would say that his son had a hidden disease, so he would not get married, so he insisted on betrotting his son. The child didn't want to, so we quarreled."
General Chu's face changed drastically, "Can you still recover?"
Gou Liang said: "At that time, Imperial Physician Zheng came to live in the mansion for three days, and after that he often checked his son's pulse, and it was confirmed that there was no possibility of recovery."
Mrs. Chu was paralyzed on the ground, seeing her son use such a statement that completely ruined the right to inherit the throne, she felt anxious and annoyed. But he couldn't refute, he covered his face and cried for a moment, heartbroken so sincerely.
General Chu was silent.
Although he had made several guesses about that incident, he never thought that such a thing had happened.
It turned out that the reason why the emperor favored and favored his son was because he had suffered for him... I don't know who is so mad that he poisoned His Majesty the emperor!
His thoughts were confused, but fortunately General Chu was a person who lived and died on the battlefield, so he was more open-minded, so he quickly accepted the bad news, sighed and said: "This is the end of the matter, what your father has done is also a kind father. Heart, it doesn’t matter if you accept it.”
Although he is suspected of harming his son, he is more concerned about his son having someone who knows the cold and the hot to accompany him for the rest of his life.
Gou Liang said stubbornly, "Father, my son is doing well alone."
Hearing this, General Chu didn't make things difficult for him, instead he said to Mrs. Chu, "Since Shiro has made up his mind, you don't have to force him anymore. If he changes his mind one day, you can make preparations for him."
After speaking, he comforted Gou Liang a few more words, and seeing that the mother and son still had a knot in their hearts, they left on the pretext of going back to the room and busying with business.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Chu patted his leg bitterly, "What excuse are you looking for!"
Now, his years of hard work really went to waste!
Gou Liang looked at the heartbroken Mrs. Chu, and said, "Father, it's not an excuse. What I said...is all true."
Mrs. Chu was dumbfounded.
The emperor couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Ye Xiao's report.
Looking back, I felt that the emperor Gou Liang, who had suffered a great grievance for himself, collected a whole house of books for the diligent and book-loving Gou Hanlin, all of which were ancient books collected from the people, which were very rare.
Gou Liang curled his lips secretly, seeing that the emperor was also watching with him, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: there is a friend who is a friend of the Imperial Academy, Tian Zong is really the best emperor in history.
But soon Gou Liang was slapped in the face, the emperor's eagerness to learn never used him on time.
Today, in this pile of ancient books, I found an old fire-avoidance map, and the protagonists on it were two men, whose poses were so hot that Gou Liang, who claimed to be a debtor of integrity, couldn't bear to look directly at him.
The emperor also hugged him enthusiastically and said: "Look at what this poem says: Swallowing a dragon into the deep pool is to recognize the cave sky. It is unfathomable and wonderful. Tsk tsk, it is very amazing to think about it, Xiaokenger, Why don't we try it out tonight?"
Gou Liang stared at him silently: "...it hurts just looking at it."
This unergonomic posture feeds the dog early!
The emperor was quite sorry, and he did not give up on asking the palace man afterwards. He learned that this posture will make the man fascinated, but it will also make the bearer very hard. If he can't control it, he will be injured, that's all.
On the other hand, Mrs. Chu recognized the master's family's Shuang'er as her adoptive son.
Although Shuang'er's reputation was somewhat damaged, compared with this loss, becoming the adopted son of the General Protector's Mansion obviously has more benefits. The master and the family are very grateful for this. Gou Liang's marriage has been settled since then, and Mrs. Chu dismissed all the dignitaries who came to her door with the excuse that "the four sons were ordered by the holy order to concentrate on studying, and I'm afraid they won't have time to get married in three years."
Yes, the day after Gou Liang blew himself up "not to lift", the emperor made an order.
He first praised Gou Hanlin's book writing which was very in line with my heart, and promoted Gou Liang to two ranks to be a third rank official bachelor, and then ordered Gou Liang to stay in the Library Pavilion to concentrate on writing for the royal family.
Gou Liang lived in Zhengyang Palace in a legitimate manner, and many people were curious about what kind of book he was studying. Even the teacher of the original owner who was living in Yangzhou Mansion sent a letter to ask. The emperor looked at Gou Liang and struggled for a long time, and wrote back, saying: I am ordered by the emperor, I dare not speak nonsense, but my apprentice has obtained His Majesty's permission, and I will give you a copy when the book is finished.
The emperor couldn't help laughing, and thought: Mr. Liu is over eighty years old, and he must not be able to repair this book in his lifetime. If it is repaired, burn the fire-avoiding map in front of the grave, fearing that this noble old man will jump out of the grave in anger and swallow himself who ruined his precious apprentice.
Thinking of it this way, the emperor felt very beautiful, and secretly decided to give it a try.
