After confirming that Eunuch Chi took the people away, Chen Chuxiu called out the door, "Aren't you inviting people in?"
Chen Gelao raised his eyes curiously, and saw a woman in plain clothes approaching. She was full of fairy spirit, her appearance was beautiful but not glamorous, charming but not vulgar.
It was Princess Zhenjiang.
He hurriedly supported the couch table to get up, Yufu hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, Chen Chuxiu took the first step, "Father, the eldest princess is here to visit you, no matter how polite you are, won't the eldest princess blame herself?"
Chen Ge looked at him displeasedly, "You, you, you are so rude when you meet everyone, can you excuse your illness and be rude when you come to His Majesty?"
Chen Chuxiu frowned, it was hard to say.
On the contrary, Yu Fu admired his attitude, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen Ge must not be too polite. I came here to ask for something. It would be my fault if I let Mr. Ge's frequent salutes aggravate his illness."
Chen Ge always knew that Yu Fu was not an ordinary arrogant and domineering princess, so he sat down obediently, "You can tell the eldest princess what you want, and I will not hesitate to say anything."
Yu Fu had visited Chen Gel before, and knew that he was a loyal minister, and he was full of respect for Ji Daogong, Gu Huaijiang and others.
Chen Chuxiu looks young and inexperienced, absurd and playful, but he also has the righteousness to distinguish right from wrong in his bones.
She sighed, "The old man is still ill, so I shouldn't bother you. It's just that the affairs of the cabinet are of great importance. Although the general persuaded His Majesty to abolish the position of prime minister, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the chief minister of the cabinet The position still belongs to Yin Shuo."
Old Chen Ge nodded slowly, "That's right. Fortunately, Gu Hou was there to persuade His Majesty to abolish the position of prime minister. Trust him again, but the late Emperor was a wise ruler, so he must have a reason for not trusting Yin Shuo."
He doesn't know the inside story, but Yufu knows.
Yu Fu pursed his lips, and didn't intend to tell him the inside story, but Chen Chuxiu said, "What doesn't father know? It can be seen from Yin Shuo's attempts to sabotage the cabinet after he was established. One For the sake of power and position, he can even give up his own sister to give up tricks, is he worthy to be the prime minister?"
Chen Ge didn't want to tell this matter at first, Yu Fu is a daughter who has not left the court, so it is not good for her to hear such words.
Not wanting Yu Fu to just smile, "I already knew about this, Yin Shuo's intentions are not righteous, but his sister is a pure and good person, she is my friend."
Old Chen Ge was thoughtful, "Did the eldest princess come here today for the purpose of setting up a queen?"
"You can say yes, or you can say no."
Yu Fu said: "There is no room for discussion on the matter of becoming an empress, not only myself, but the Guhou Mansion will never agree. But this matter is ultimately a matter of our own family, Yu Fu dare not ask the adults for help. I only hope that Ge Lao's illness will recover as soon as possible, and he will return to the cabinet to unite with the rest of the cabinet ministers, and prevent Yin Shuo from doing anything wrong."
Old Chen Ge suddenly remembered that when Yu Fu went to the border alone, he saved the lives of tens of thousands of Gu family soldiers who were poisoned, and when he returned to the imperial capital, the first thing he did was summon General Duhu and Lin'an Mansion to the mansion—
It was agreed how to restore law and order in the imperial capital.
She is not of the blood of the first emperor, but her love for the people and the country is far better than any princess or even the prince, even he feels ashamed.
When he was fourteen, like Chen Chuxiu, he refused to study hard and was fooling around outside.
Chen Ge looked at Yu Fu differently, "Princess's words have offended my subordinates, and returning to the cabinet to serve the court is not helping the eldest princess, it's what I should do! I don't want to go back to the court all the time, I'm afraid that Yin Shuo will confuse His Majesty... Fortunately, I heard that his leg was also injured, so he didn't go to the court."
When Chen Gelao mentioned Yin Shuo's leg injury, Yu Fu was stunned, and then he understood why Gu Huaijiang could easily persuade Ning Chengzhi.
With Yin Shuo's eloquence and eloquence, if he had been in the palace at that time, he would not have allowed the power in his hands to be taken away in vain...
It turned out that his leg was really hurt that night, and the dark color on the rockery was his blood.
She suddenly had an indescribable feeling, thinking of Yin Shuo's back when he left, pretending to be calm, a little hasty, and quickly disappeared in front of her eyes.
He endured the pain and pretended not to be injured, just because he didn't want to blame himself...
"Princess?"
Chen Ge called her twice before Yu Fu came back to his senses and waved to the door, Yao Lan walked in holding a small brocade box.
Yufu handed the box to Elder Chen Ge, "This is my Immortal Valley's secret medicine. Master made it himself during retreat. It has the effect of regulating breath and unblocking the meridians. It will definitely help Elder Ge's condition."
When they heard that it was the elixir refined by Xunchi himself, Chen Gelao and Chen Chuxiu looked solemn.
Old Chen Ge quickly declined, "The elixir made by the God of Medicine must be very valuable. At the time, the late emperor was seriously ill, and I didn't see any elixir given to the late emperor by the God of Medicine. How can I surpass the late emperor?"
Chen Chuxiu also said: "My father and I appreciate the kindness of the eldest princess. What my father said is that this medicine is too expensive, so the eldest princess should keep it by herself."
Yu Fu couldn't help but put the box on the table and pushed it towards Chen Gelao, "Medicines are originally used to save people. In my doctor's eyes, all living beings are equal, and there is no such thing as presumptuousness. The late emperor's illness did not need any panacea to recuperate. , if he hadn't been assassinated, he would have lived a long life. Now Ge Lao's illness is different, it doesn't look dangerous, but he needs to take good care of him."
In order to prevent Elder Chen Ge from evading, Yu Fu simply stood up, "I have disturbed Elder Ge's rest for half a day, so I will take my leave first."
Chen Ge wanted to get up to see off the guests, but Yu Fu walked out without any explanation, he could only urge Chen Chuxiu to follow and see off the guests.
Chen Chuxiu sent Yufu to the outside of the mansion, and walked all the way talking, "Princess, I don't want to thank you for your kindness. After my father recovers from his illness, I will definitely come to thank you in person."
Yu Fu stopped and looked back at him, "Do you know why I came here today without even bringing the guards of Marquis Gu's Mansion with me?"
Chen Chuxiu was startled, and understood Yufu's meaning, "The eldest princess doesn't want Guhou's mansion to have anything to do with Chen's mansion?"
"On the contrary."
Yu Fu said: "At the moment, I don't want any loyal people in the court to have anything to do with the Marquis Gu's Mansion. Your Majesty's big fight against the cabinet is in the final analysis so that no one will obstruct his decision to establish a queen. The Marquis Gu's mansion has been repeatedly suppressed. The power in the hands of the general has also been reduced, and I don't know what His Majesty will do in the future. As I said, this matter is a matter of the Guhou Mansion, and I don't want to implicate the innocent. Whether it is you and your father, or Ji My lord."
Chen Chuxiu looked at the beautiful young woman in front of her, her big bright eyes were as clear as a mountain spring, so that one could see the end at a glance, and it seemed that no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see the end.
As a son of an official family, he hates the disputes and intrigues of the court the most, so he has been pretending to be a dandy to stay out of the disputes, and he does not want to see a woman like Yufu in his lifetime.
She would rather refuse the posthumous position and stay with Gu Shubai, and would rather Guhou's mansion shoulder the responsibility of violating the imperial decree than bring others into trouble.
Such kindness and sincerity moved him.
He unconsciously softened his tone, "Most of the ministers in the court are opposed to the establishment of the empress, because the marriage between you and Guhou Shizi is the will of the late emperor. However, the eldest princess knows that some courtiers agree to make you the empress, not for the sake of Flatter Your Majesty."
Yu Fu wondered: "What is that for?"
"It's because the eldest princess is born like a queen, with a heart for the country and the people. For a moment just now, even I couldn't help thinking that if the eldest princess becomes a queen to assist His Majesty, maybe Dong Ling's future will be saved."
When Chen Chuxiu said this, he couldn't help smiling, and cupped his hands towards Yuyu, "Please forgive me, the eldest princess, I know I shouldn't have said such a thing."
Yu Fu was silent for a moment, "It's okay, I know you're just saying something and there's no malice. It's just that you should know that there is nothing suitable or not about emotional matters. I don't have His Majesty in my heart. Even if I become a queen, I can't force myself and Your Majesty Raise your eyebrows."
Emotional matters, there is no suitable or not.
When Chen Chuxiu heard this, it was like being enlightened, and instantly felt the ecstasy of meeting a bosom friend in a high mountain and flowing water.
He looked at Yufu eagerly, "The eldest princess is right! There is nothing suitable or not, whoever you like is the one you like, and whoever stipulates that you must be in the same family? The eldest princess has solved my long-standing knot in my heart, thank you, eldest princess." !"
He cupped his hands and bowed to the ground, Yu Fu couldn't laugh or cry.
Chen Chuxiu acts according to his own will, and when he sees her twice, he either doesn't show courtesy, or accepts such a big gift.
She smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is like this, how can I return the gift?"
Chen Chuxiu raised his head, a little embarrassed, and said with a chuckle: "The eldest princess doesn't need to return the gift. In fact, my gift is not only to respect the eldest princess, but also to ask the eldest princess for help."
Yu Fu said: "Young Master Chen, but it's okay to say."
"Since the eldest princess knows what happened between Miss Yin and me earlier, I will make a long story short. I was contemptuous and rude to Miss Yin that day. I really wanted to vent my anger on Yaoyue, and I didn't mean to be rude. Even if Yaoyue didn't arrive in time, I will stop in time, will the eldest princess believe it?"
Yu Fu let out a chuckle, "Of course I believe it, not only me, you know that Ji Kui already has someone she likes, and she guarded herself like a jade for that person, and she was forced to approach you. If she didn't guess afterwards that you didn't intend to be indecent, I think she will come to you for revenge even if she tries her best."
Chen Chuxiu sighed, "Miss Yin is a sensible person, no wonder the eldest princess praised her, I was the one who was rude at the beginning, please ask the eldest princess to apologize next time she sees Miss Yin."
Having said that, he still had a gloomy look on his face.
Yu Fu tentatively said: "Actually, you are more concerned about Yaoyue's thoughts. Just now I said that there is no right or wrong relationship. If you are so happy, you think there is someone in your heart who is not suitable for you from outsiders."
Knowing that Yufu and Yaoyue are also close friends, Chen Chuxiu wanted to say something to her, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words.
He shook his head, "Forget it, I, Chen Chuxiu, want to pursue a woman, do I still need to ask the eldest princess for help? The key issue right now is the decision of the cabinet and His Majesty. When the court situation is smooth, I will definitely let Yaoyue agree to marry her." Give it to me!"
The corners of Yu Fu's mouth curled up slightly, he didn't expect that a well-known playboy in the imperial capital would have such a side of loving someone.
But what Yaoyue likes is Gu Jiuge, and there is Yin Jixie in it.
Yu Fu looked at him with some sympathy.
He wants to marry Yaoyue, he has a long way to go...
Yu helped out of Chen's mansion, went to Ji Daogong's mansion again, and then went to visit several familiar elders, and returned at night.
Looking back on the road to Hou's Mansion, I saw someone waiting with a lantern at the intersection from afar. The pale yellow light was particularly warming.
Yao Lan lifted the curtain of the car, Yu Fu looked out, then told the driver, "Stop."
"Miss, it's hard to walk in the snow, do you really want to stop here?"
The driver checked it out, and when he heard Yu Fu's muffled promise from inside the car, he got out of the car and put the footstool in place. Yu Fu stepped off the car, and saw the pale yellow lantern approaching them.
"Yaolan, you guys go back to the house first, I'll walk around here."
Yao Lan stood on tiptoe to look at the man carrying the lantern. The man was tall and tall, and the lantern illuminated the cloak on his body, showing a kind of elegant grace.
She vaguely guessed who that person was, so she withdrew her dissuading words from Yu Fu, and went back home with the driver in the carriage.
Yu Fu walked in the direction of the lantern, and after a while, he walked up to the lantern bearer. The two of them were five steps apart, smiling at each other.
Almost at the same time, the two raised their feet and walked towards each other.
"Big brother, it's cold, why are you standing here?"
"I'm worried that you're traveling alone today. I wanted to go out to meet you, but I walked away before I knew it."
Yu Fu couldn't help smiling slightly, Gu Shubai raised his hand to fasten the collar of her cloak, the white fur on both sides covered it, and supported her palm-sized face.
The two walked side by side, leaving two neat rows of footprints in the snow, gently illuminated by the warm yellow light.
"Father and the others are waiting for you to have dinner. Today, Zhuangzi in the countryside sent another batch of wild animals. Among them is a little white fox that is almost exactly the same as Fat Nine when he was a child."
Yu Fu hurriedly said: "Isn't it going to be eaten?"
Gu Shubai smiled and nodded her forehead, "I know you like Fat Nine the most, who would have the heart to eat it? It has been sent to the west chamber to be with Fat Nine, you can see it when you go back."
A big white dog and a little white fox, these two get together, I don't know how many jokes will be made.
Yu Fu knew that he was teasing himself, so he also said some interesting things to reassure him, "I went to Chen Ge's old mansion today, and had a great chat with Mr. Chen. Brother Chen must have never imagined that Mr. Chen was interested in Yaoyue and wanted to marry her."
Gu Shubai cooperated with her, with a look of interest on his face, "Is it the Yaoyue girl who has a good relationship with the second brother? I heard that the second brother has no intentions of her, but she has a special liking for the second brother. I'm afraid Mr. Chen will not." It’s so easy to embrace a beautiful woman.”
Yu Fu asked: "Then second brother is interested in Ji Kui?"
Did she know what Yin Jiqian thought about Gu Jiuge, if she didn't receive a direct rejection for a day, she would not give up her feelings for Gu Jiuge.
Gu Shubai thought for a while, then shook his head lightly, "He never mentioned it, I watched it coldly, he has some affection for Miss Yin. As for whether it has reached the point of a lifetime promise..."
He changed the subject, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Yufu into his arms, holding her with a lantern and embracing her, "You are busy these days, we only have time to be alone this way, do you still want to talk to me about other people's love? ?”
