Outside the south study room in the palace, An Huajin and Jiang Yunyi naturally could not say anything when they met. After greeting each other, they stood aside, waiting for His Majesty to summon him to the court.
An Huajin belongs to the Cui family and the Gu family. He has no bones. He doesn't want to stand after standing for a while, so he leans lazily on the pillars, supported by the thick pillars of a person's arms, and leans all his weight on them.
Above.
"Little Princess, why don't I take you to Xi Nuan Pavilion to sit for a while, there will be refreshments there." The little eunuch who led the way asked in a low voice.
"No need." An Huajin shook his head.
The little eunuch stood aside, fearing that she would have trouble waiting, so he spoke to her thoughtfully, "When I got up early, Aunt He from Fengqi Palace sent someone to deliver a message, saying that after the little princess met His Majesty, she would go to Fengqi Palace. The Queen
The queen has something to give to you."
"Well, I understand." An Huajin nodded.
The little eunuch added, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. There will be a dragon boat race outside the city. The Dragon Boat Festival is very lively. If you are in the capital this year, if you catch up, you can wait for that day to have a look."
He didn't tell me, but An Huajin also forgot that it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, so she smiled and nodded, "Thank you for reminding me."
The little eunuch smiled and said, "When you were in Nanyang, was the Dragon Boat Festival lively?"
"It was still very lively. Everyone in the military camp went to the kitchen to make rice dumplings on that day, and then cooked them in a big pot and rushed to eat them together. The soldiers would set up a ring on the training ground, and whoever was the best in martial arts would win three prizes.
"It's a day holiday." An Huajin didn't mind telling him about the Dragon Boat Festival of the Nanyang Army, "But some soldiers couldn't go home to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with their wives and children after they got the holiday, because they were too far away from home, so they could only spend the day on that day.
Eat a few rice dumplings, then run to the street and let the caravan carry a few rice dumplings home."
"I took the rice dumplings home with me. Aren't they broken because of the long journey?" The little eunuch was puzzled.
Anhua Jin smiled, "Yes, the journey is long and they will get damaged, but what they are bringing is not rice dumplings, but safety. When family members see the rice dumplings brought back and know that they are safe, they will be very happy."
The little eunuch understood, "It's really hard for the Nanyang army to protect their home and country."
An Huajin threw him ten taels of silver and said, "You should be rewarded for just saying this!"
The little eunuch was so shocked that he immediately pushed back, "Little princess, I am not saying this to ask for a reward from you."
"I know, it's okay, just keep it." An Huajin patted him on the shoulder, "Where is your home? Who else is there in your family? Is there anyone joining the army?"
The little eunuch accepted the reward and stuffed it into his sleeve, "I have a grandma, a younger brother, and a younger sister at home. The younger brother is still young, and the younger sister is not too old. They live in Xiazhuangzi Village, thirty miles outside Beijing. Grandma is older.
I can’t do much work, so I bring money home every month to help them survive.”
An Huajin nodded, it turns out that he has neither father nor mother.
The young eunuch said shyly, "My position is low. If I want to support my grandma and younger brothers and sisters, I have to work hard to get promoted, and my monthly salary will be high."
Anhua Jin smiled, "Come on then, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a father-in-law who doesn't want to be promoted is not the most promising father-in-law."
The little eunuch chuckled, "I will definitely work hard."
Jiang Yunyi stood aside, watching An Huajin and the little eunuch talking to each other, and his eyes were filled with smiles. Different from the little girl he first met three years ago, the grown-up little girl no longer
She would get lost in the palace. She leaned calmly and leisurely against the pillars outside the south study room, as if she were under the pillars of her own garden. Her brows and eyes were like the breeze and white clouds, and her words were gentle and gentle.
But for such a little girl, no one dares to underestimate her. Her power is hidden in invisible places.
He was suddenly curious about how King Nanyang had raised her for so many years to make her look like this.
"Your Majesty has come to court!" The little eunuch developed the ability to see all directions and listen to all directions in the palace, and he immediately behaved himself.
An Huajin turned around and saw a figure in a bright yellow dragon robe surrounded by an honor guard. It must be that Zhang Zaifu's case had such a big impact on the emperor that An Huajin felt that His Majesty seemed older than when she came to Beijing to meet him.
A lot.
Jiang Yunyi turned around and greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, Your Majesty!"
"Blessings, Your Majesty!" An Huajin also greeted him in a decent manner.
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He glanced at the two of them with a smile, waved his hand behind him and said, "You all wait outside."
"Yes!"
Only then did An Huajin see the Seventh Prince Chu Yan, who had come with the emperor. He looked cold and cold as always, with dull eyebrows and expressionless face. He didn't even look at her, as if he didn't know her.<
/p>
I don’t know if he knows what His Majesty is thinking now. It’s really hard to tell with this face.
"Xiao An'er, you come in with me." The emperor said this and entered the south study room.
An Huajin stepped forward and followed in.
The emperor sat down and looked at her carefully. Although the little girl had experienced a lot of scares in the month since she came to Beijing, she was born in Nanyang Palace and was very tough. She was not scared at all. Maybe she didn't know how to be afraid of words.
Write, Shui Lingling is doing well and not sluggish anymore.
The emperor was very satisfied and waved his hand for her to sit.
An Huajin sat down and looked a little sleepy.
The emperor spoke carefully, "I heard that you visited the Gu family two days ago?"
Here he comes! Your Majesty is indeed your Majesty. He insisted on the eight-year engagement. Once the situation changed, he first changed his mind.
An Huajin nodded naturally, "Before coming to the capital, my grandfather told me that in addition to visiting His Majesty and Auntie, I would also go to the Gu family to visit the elders. If not for a lot of things, I should have gone."
The day before yesterday, luckily Grandpa Gu didn’t blame me.”
The emperor nodded, "I heard that the Gu family treats you very grandly?"
"Yeah." An Huajin nodded, a little embarrassed, "The Gu family was really too solemn. Not only did the whole family come to visit me for the first time, but they also gave me a meeting gift. I couldn't bear it, but
You can’t shirk it, it’s hard to refuse such kindness.”
The emperor was silent, "It seems that the Gu family likes you very much."
An Huajin was even more embarrassed, "I didn't dare to embarrass my grandfather and aunt, so I tried my best to behave better."
The emperor became even more depressed after hearing this, and didn't know what to say for a while.
It stands to reason that he used to be happy to see the outcome of the Gu family's treatment of An Huajin, but now it was different from the past. Instead, he was no longer happy and became very depressed. He originally planned to cancel the engagement, but now that the Gu family did this, he didn't.
Fati.
If An Huajin just went to the Gu family and was received grandly by the Gu family, the next day he would ask them both to cancel the engagement, which was obviously a slap in the Gu family's face.
The Gu family's face, even if he is an emperor and a noble person, cannot be beaten casually, the consequences will be very serious.
It seems that this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term and curved way.
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "In recent days, it seems that you and Mr. Gu Qi are getting along very well? Have you changed your mind about recruiting a son-in-law?"
An Huajin suddenly felt a little confused, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I won't hide it from you. I don't know now."
"Oh? Why don't you know?" The emperor narrowed his eyes.
An Huajin let out a long sigh, as if he was extremely sad, and his eyebrows were twisted into a cloud of sorrow, which was very bleak, "Hey, on the one hand, I want to keep the promise I made to myself after my father and brother died, but on the other hand, I feel that Mr. Gu Qi is a bit...
Well, if I insist on recruiting a son-in-law, then he will definitely not be able to follow me, and it will be useless for the two of us. I am very reluctant to let go. So, now I don’t know what to do."
If Zhang Zaifu's case had not come out, the emperor would have definitely scolded her for being greedy and wanting the best of both worlds after listening to her words. Now, of course, His Majesty no longer thinks so. Instead, he feels that she is undecided. That's good. As long as An Huajin and Gu
As long as Qing Yan doesn't get married right away, he will have time to think of a way to get them to cancel the wedding and let her marry Chu Yan.
The emperor was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He scolded others with a sullen face, "You are still young after all. You must know that you can't have your cake and eat it too."
An Huajin frowned, "Then what should I do? Gu Qingyan is indeed very good."
Gu Qingyan is very good. Who doesn’t know how good he is? Your Majesty knows even better!
The emperor softened his tone and said, "That's all. You two are not too old yet, so don't worry. You can think about it more."
An Huajin nodded obediently.
The emperor deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to test, and said, "Have you ever thought about changing to someone else and not marrying Gu Qingyan?" He would not directly bring up Chu Yan, but asked in a roundabout way, "For example, the other members of the Gu family are also good.
.As long as it’s not Gu Qingyan and the other children of the Gu family, I have the final say, so it’s easy to negotiate.”
An Huajin immediately shook his head and said decisively, "No, if the Gu family is not Gu Qingyan, I won't consider anyone else."
"Why?"
An Huajin bit his lip, "Except Wushan, it's not Yun."
The emperor frowned, "What do you think? Do you mean that you won't marry anyone except Gu Qingyan?"
"That's not true." An Huajin shook his head, "I only talked about the Gu family, so as not to see other people and think of Gu Qingyan. If you really don't marry him, you have to stay away from this surname and keep out of sight."<
/p>
The emperor's face brightened slightly, "So that's what you meant. I was shocked."
