The white clothes are better than the snow, and the eyebrows are picturesque. Who is not Gu Huaiqing
"Your Highness, Your Majesty!" The fat lady hurriedly greeted the two of them and greeted them with a salute. This etiquette was obviously just learned, and it was extremely awkward to do.
"Sister Hao, stay safe." Mu Hanzhang greeted with a smile.
Jing Shao and Gu Huaiqing stared at each other, confirming that this was King Huainan himself, and asked him why he appeared here.
Gu Huaiqing didn't seem to understand.
"This brother Gu was the one I met on the road," Mrs. Fat introduced diligently. "My mule and horse were crippled halfway. Fortunately, Brother Gu was kind enough to carry me. Brother Gu was still an official and came to Beijing. If he has no place to live, I will let him live here."
"The next official, Gu Qing, is the magistrate of Huaiyang County in the south of the Yangtze River. He came to Beijing to report on his work. Fortunately, General Hao did not give up and allowed me to stay for two days." Gu Huaiqing glanced at Madam Fatty gratefully, and spoke modestly, politely, and clearly. It's not that this handsome face is rare in the world, but Jing Shao really thought he had recognized the wrong person.
Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips and held back his smile. The so-called Huaiyang County was said to be from the previous dynasty, but now it has been renamed Danyang City, and Danyang City is the main city of the Huainan feudal lands. How can the county magistrate say it
Seeing that the prince did not blame the presence of strangers, Mrs. Fatty invited them to be seated, and turned around to go to the kitchen to cook two more dishes.
There were only a few servants in Hao Dadao's mansion, and now all those who got on the table have been sent to work.
"Why are you here?" Jing Shao said in a low voice.
"It's just a chance encounter on the road." Gu Huaiqing said innocently.
Jing Shao felt that the veins on his forehead were protruding, and the vassal king could not enter the capital without being summoned. Once he was seen, it was no small matter. What time is this, and I'm still in the mood to joke!
Mu Hanzhang held Jing Shao's fist that he couldn't help but snort, and patted it soothingly, and said softly, "What is the important thing for eldest brother to come to Beijing?"
This question was unavoidable, Gu Huaiqing smiled, put down the tea cup, and pretended to be melancholy: "There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it when she sees it, and she will be mad when she sees it for a day."
"What do you mean?" Jing Shao frowned. That's what this person is wrong. The more anxious you are, the less he can speak properly.
Mu Hanzhang glanced at Gu Huaiqing in surprise: "Big brother is joking."
Gu Huaiqing immediately put away the melancholy face on his face, and a sly smile evoked the corner of his mouth: "Jun Qing is doubting my sincerity?" As he said that, he was about to pull the hand he put on Jing Shao's hand. Jing Shao's fist.
"Brother, a friend's wife must not be bullied." Before Jing Shao said this, his fist had already reached the end of his eyes.
Gu Huaiqing had anticipated this move, flexibly stretched out his hand to clasp the fist, shoved a small object into Jing Shao's hand, grabbed Jing Shao's arm with his backhand and dragged him over, and said in his ear: "Help me It's back."
Jing Shao held the small thing in his palm, nodded slightly, and when Gu Huaiqing let go of his hand, he suddenly turned his right arm and hit his chest with an elbow.
Gu Huaiqing was unprepared, and was beaten almost to the point of leaning over from the chair, covering his chest and coughing for a long while: "Cough cough... Beating a court official, what a formality!"
"Don't imitate my brother's words!" Jing Shao shuddered when he heard "what kind of style", and gave him another punch angrily.
When Hao Dadao came in with the wine jar, he saw the three of them sitting quietly, and there was no conversation, but Gu Huaiqing covered his chest with one hand and rubbed slowly.
"Brother Gu, what's wrong?" Hao Dadao still liked Gu Huaiqing who kindly sent his daughter-in-law to Beijing.
"I've had a heart disease since I was a child, so it's not in the way." Gu Huaiqing smiled weakly, looking like a sickly scholar.
"Then you have to find a doctor to take a look." Hao Dadao frowned when he heard this, and was about to go out to find a doctor.
"No, no," Gu Huaiqing hurriedly grabbed the enthusiastic and upright General Hao, "I am so happy to see the prince and the princess, and I feel a little embarrassed for a while."
Jing Shao's forehead jumped when he heard it, and he wanted to punch him again.
The meals are all home-cooked dishes, most of which are fried by Mrs. Fatty, which is naturally far from the craftsmanship of the chefs of the royal palace. However, these three people do not often eat such simple dishes, and they taste fresh and interesting. Mu Hanzhang couldn't help but use half a bowl of rice.
"Madam's craftsmanship is really good, and General Hao is really blessed." Mu Hanzhang said with a smile while holding the tea after dinner.
"You're still so good at talking," Mrs. Fat laughed until her eyes narrowed. "He doesn't think he's lucky, and every day thinks that what I cook is not delicious."
Hao Dadao was a little uncomfortable when he heard that his wife started to criticize him again, and turned to Jing Shao: "My lord, Wei Chen got something the day before yesterday, and I want to ask the lord to see it."
Jing Shao glanced at him: "Okay." Then he got up, asked his princess to stay here for a while, and walked out of the hall with Hao Dadao.
Walking to the corner of the corridor, Jing Shao stopped and looked at the flowers and plants in the garden: "What do you want to say?" Several elm trees were planted in it, and now they have budded, and the short trees are covered with green leaves.
"That Mr. Gu said he knew the prince, but he couldn't make a statement about his coming to Beijing. It's hard to say outside the palace gate today. The last general has not disclosed it, and I hope the prince will forgive me." Hao Dadao said in a low voice, Gu Huaiqing said this. Speaking to him alone, even his wife does not know.
"He's right," Jing Shao turned his head and said to Hao Dadao, "Let him live with you first, just say he's a relative of the wife's family, and I'll let him go in two days." Gu Huaiqing has always been cautious. When he was in Jiangnan, none of Jing Shao's subordinates had seen him, including Hao Dadao. I just don't know how that guy tricked Hao Dadao into believing him.
"He also brought two guards. Because he wanted to see the prince, he didn't let them come to the front yard." Hao Dadao reported Gu Huaiqing's words and deeds.
Jing Shao nodded, patted his shoulder and praised, Hao Dadao has always been much more reliable than Zhao Meng, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with Gu Huaiqing living here.
On the way back to the palace, Jing Shao took out what Gu Huaiqing put into his hand to see.
"What's this?" Mu Hanzhang picked up the thing in his palm and looked at it. It was a jade button, made of sapphire, with exquisite carving, cool hands, and tied with a red silk sash.
"It was stuffed over when I was fighting with him just now, and he told me to help him pay it back." Jing Shao felt inexplicable, and he didn't say who to pay it back.
Hearing this, Mu Hanzhang looked a little strange. He leaned against Jing Shao's arms, raised the jade buckle and looked at it carefully in the sunlight: "This kind of jade buckle is of high quality and can only be worn by princes and princes of super quality."
"That should be my brother's." Jing Shao held the reins in one hand and slowly wrapped around the waist of the person in his arms.
"But..." Mu Hanzhang felt as if he had discovered some secret.
"What's wrong?" While enjoying the feeling of the warm body in his arms as his backrest, Jing Shao secretly grinned and responded casually.
Mu Hanzhang frowned and looked at him sideways: "This shape should be embedded in the belt..." Why did the jade buckle embedded in the belt fall into the hands of others
Afterwards, the curious two turned around and went directly to Prince Rui's mansion.
Jingchen hasn't had a nap yet, he is enjoying the cool air in the yard, and he is still reading with a book in his hand. Hearing that the two of them came, they didn't enter the house, so they added two more stools.
"Why are you running here now?" Jingchen frowned. It started to get hot in May. Running over at noon, there must be something urgent.
"Gu Huaiqing has come to Beijing." Jing Shao said in a low voice.
Jingchen sat up straight: "what is he doing?" Now the situation is very tight. When he came to Beijing at this time, didn't he specifically hand over the handle to the court
"I don't know either," Jing Shao scratched his head, nine of the ten sentences that man said were false, and he didn't ask any questions for a whole noon, "I just told him to help him pay it back. Is this thing your brother's?"
When Jingchen saw the sapphire button handed over by Jing Shao, his face turned dark immediately, and he rubbed his sore forehead: "you tell him to leave quickly, there are many people in Beijing, who will know him if you don't know each other."
Just as she was talking, Princess Rui came over with tea: "The weather is hot, I made herbal tea, you can try it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Mu Hanzhang took it with a smile, but Jing Shao didn't have a good face, and was carried by his own princess before taking it.
Princess Rui's face was still not very good, but she looked better than when Jingchen was not in Beijing.
"My sister-in-law is feeling better?" Mu Hanzhang asked after drinking a sip of tea.
"Thanks to the Marquis, I've gotten a lot better recently." Mrs Xiao said politely.
"Sister-in-law's words are terrifying." Mu Hanzhang's smile faded a little, and he lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He wanted to praise the goodness of the tea, but now he can't answer the question.
Jingchen glanced at her: "don't come out if you're not well, go back to the room and rest."
Before Princess Rui could speak, the servants in the front yard hurried in to report back, saying that the servant of the palace had something urgent to report.
It was Yun Song who came, sweating profusely, and hurriedly saluting: "For the people from Beiwei Houfu, Mrs. Side has fetal gas."
Mu Hanzhang stood up abruptly: "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specifics, I just said that the imperial physician has been hired." Yun Song knew that this matter was important, and went all the way from the General's Mansion to the Prince Rui's Mansion.
"Junqing, don't worry." Jing Shao took his hand and looked back at his brother.
"Come on, I'll send another imperial doctor there." Jingchen also stood up and rushed them to go without waiting for Jingshao to speak.
Looking at the figures of the two leaving in a hurry, Jingchen called his subordinates: "you go to the imperial hospital and ask imperial doctor Zhang to go."
With his subordinates leading the way, Xiao looked at Jingchen's face and said, "I heard that Mrs. Beiwei Housi is seven months pregnant, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Jingchen nodded and glanced at her: "I haven't been in the mansion these days, has Jing Shao been here?"
"I came here once, only said a few words and left." Xiao shi wrote lightly.
Jingchen frowned when he heard this, and gave her a thoughtful look: "what's your dissatisfaction with your brother-in-law?"
"What do you mean, lord? How can my concubine be dissatisfied with my brother-in-law?" Princess Rui asked inexplicably.
Jingchen looked at her deeply for a long time: "you just don't want to give Xiaosi to Jingshao, why bother to embarrass them?"
When Xiao Shi heard the words, she felt aggrieved immediately. She was the one who was hard-pressed to give birth to the youngest son. She suffered a lot. Both mother and son were almost unable to survive. How could she be willing to adopt it to others? After Jing Chen mentioned this, every time she saw Cheng Wang's husband and husband, she couldn't put on a good face: "My lord, it's because I don't want to, Xiao Si's body is so bad, how can I take care of two big men To be comprehensive? Besides, the father emperor asked Cheng Wang to marry a male concubine, originally for... "
"Shut up!" Jing Chen immediately rebuked her, not allowing her to finish the rest.
Prince Rui's mansion here is not peaceful, and the North Weihou mansion is even more chaotic.
Jing Shao took his own princess and let Xiao Hei rush all the way into the second gate of the Hou Mansion, frightening the servants who guarded the gate.
Running all the way to Qiu's small courtyard, the imperial doctor was treating and treating inside, but Mrs. Beiweihou stood outside the door, her face was not very good-looking, and the maids behind her were trembling and did not dare to come out. Only Qiu's two maids were busy with hot water and cloth towels.
Seeing this situation, Mu Hanzhang felt that something was wrong, said hello to Du Shi, and hurried into the inner room.
Jingshao in the inner room could not enter at will, but he did not leave either, and sat in the upper seat of the main room.
Mrs. Beiweihou saw that King Cheng entered the inner house, and she still looked like she didn't intend to leave. Her face was even more unsightly, but she could only be served carefully. She sat stiffly in the next seat. Neither.
