Gu Qingyan naturally didn't care about Chu Siyan's whereabouts, so naturally he didn't know that Chu Siyan was furious after Chu Chen got the document of serving in Yushitai, and sent him out of the capital to Nanyang to find An Huajin.
Chu Siyan's departure from Beijing was silent and did not cause any splash.
After the court meeting, the emperor called Gu Qingyan to the South Study Room.
The emperor looked at Gu Qingyan and saw that his complexion was fine and his eyebrows were gentle. He was not haggard and depressed because of An Huajin's departure. He was a little confused whether the relationship between the two was good or bad now, so he planned to get straight to the point.
Ask questions.
"Huai'an, you chased Xiao An'er yesterday, but you only chased her as far as Qingping Town?"
"Your Majesty, after she left the capital, she felt that it would be unfair to leave without saying goodbye, so she waited for me in Qingping Town." Gu Qingyan said with a warm smile.
The emperor frowned, "Why did she leave without saying goodbye?"
Gu Qingyan touched her nose and said, "I made her angry, and she was homesick, so she impulsively planned to go home, but after leaving the capital, she waited in Qingping Town until I said goodbye before leaving.
”
The emperor looked at him, "She lived in Qingping Town yesterday? Did you live in Qingping Town too?"
Gu Qingyan lowered his head, face a little red, "Yes."
"Do you live in the same courtyard?" the emperor asked.
It’s not just a courtyard, but also a room! But he can’t say.
Gu Qingyan nodded, "It's a courtyard."
The emperor was immediately furious, "Gu Qingyan, even if she doesn't understand etiquette, you know it best. Although you are an unmarried couple, how can you mess around?"
Gu Qingyan did not defend himself, lowered his head and confessed, "Your Majesty taught you a lesson."
His attitude of confessing was too good and too fast. The emperor choked and paused in anger. He didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, he asked him, "Since she is waiting for you to go, have you reconciled?"<
/p>
Gu Qingyan nodded, "It's my fault. I stayed with the little princess. The little princess is also easy to talk to, so we made peace."
The emperor took a deep breath and waved to him, "That's all. Now that you know you were wrong, the matter has been revealed, and I won't blame you. Next, you must pay more attention to the evaluation of world officials every three years.
I'm sure I won't make any mistakes."
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
The emperor waved his hand and handled it gently. Gu Qingyan resigned with a smile and left the south study room.
Outside the south study room, Chu Chen had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Gu Qingyan coming out, he said to him, "Master Gu, my mother has invited me. Please come with me to see my mother."
Gu Qingyan nodded.
The two of them headed towards Fengqi Palace together.
Far away from Nan Study and no one was on the road, Chu Yan said, "How did Mr. Gu offend my cousin? Did he make her return to Nanyang so angry? Can you tell me?"
Gu Qingyan said warmly, "Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, are you curious?"
Chu Yan had no expression on his face, "A little bit."
Gu Qingyan smiled lightly and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "She said that while we are in the capital, His Majesty is always trying to find ways to cancel our engagement. It is better to go back to Nanyang and let His Majesty calm down for a while."
Chu Yan turned her head and glanced at him, "When will she come again?"
"Chinese Valentine's Day, she said she would come to Beijing to spend Chinese Valentine's Day with me." Gu Qingyan said with a smile, "It's only two months, it's not too long."
Chu Yan nodded and said no more.
In Fengqi Palace, the queen heard that An Huajin had returned to Nanyang without saying a word. Her first thought was not to be angry, but to be alarmed. Could something big have happened in Nanyang? But after sending someone to inquire, she found out that nothing big happened in Nanyang.
Later, she became very angry, vaguely listening to Gu Qingyan chasing him out of the city, thinking that she didn't even tell Gu Qingyan, was it a fight between two people?
She endured it for a night and a half, until Gu Qingyan left the court meeting, and immediately sent someone to send a message to Chu Yan, asking him to bring Gu Qingyan to Fengqi Palace for questioning.
Now, I can only ask Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan and Chu Yan came to Fengqi Palace together. After greeting the queen and taking their seats, before the queen could speak, she said warmly, "The queen is asking why the little princess suddenly left the capital, right? She had a bad temper with the minister."
, I provoked her, and secondly, she felt that staying in the capital was no longer interesting, so she returned to Nanyang. The old prince was old and in poor health. Nanyang cannot be left unattended when it comes to military affairs." p>
Naturally, he wouldn't talk about Shen Yuanzhi taking care of An Huajin, and he didn't want to mention this name.
The queen's anger had already dissipated at this time, and she was very puzzled, "So that's it. You have always had a good temper. How did you offend her? You actually made her want to return to Nanyang in a fit of anger?"
Chu Yan glanced at Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan received Chu Yanbie's meaningful look, smiled and rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was helpless, "Since the Dragon Boat Festival, the little princess has always felt uncomfortable when meeting the minister. The reason for this is that the affairs of my daughter's family, the minister
It’s hard to say it.”
Chu Yan turned his head, no longer looking at Gu Qingyan, and returned to his expressionless face.
The queen remembered that on the Dragon Boat Festival, it seemed that Gu Qingyan had invited Dr. Chen to An Huajin. Because of Kwai Shui, she immediately thought about many unspeakable things about her daughter's family. If An Huajin was too thick-skinned because of this,
After all, this is her daughter's house, so it's normal to lose her temper when you feel uncomfortable. It's really hard for Gu Qingyan to express her feelings.
She immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I know, please come and pay me a visit."
"The Queen is welcome."
The two of them left Fengqi Palace and walked to a deserted place. Chu Yan said coldly, "Master Gu really knows how to manipulate people's thoughts. One thing you say in front of me and another in front of my mother will definitely be different in front of my father."
Isn’t it different from what the two of us said before?"
Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "It's just a way of survival. Growing up, His Highness the Seventh Prince didn't say the same thing to everyone."
Chu Yan became more cold, "Mr. Gu, I think it's a good thing for my cousin to leave the capital and return to Nanyang. If she stays in the capital any longer, I'm afraid she will be eaten by you without leaving any bones."
”
Gu Qingyan paused, raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "Does His Majesty Seventh Prince look at me like this?"
"Am I wrong about Mr. Gu?" Chu Chen paused, "Maybe I was really wrong before."
Compared with now, Gu Qingyan, the seventh son of the Gu family, doesn't look much different between the past and now, except that he is now in a high official position. He is gentle and polite, elegant and calm. Although he is not arrogant about his talents, he has a deep pride in his bones. But he treats him from the side.
I can vaguely see the difference in An Huajin. Although I can't study it in details, I can still make a general guess.
"Why did my cousin leave the capital? Isn't it because she doesn't want to stay any longer?" Chu Yan stood up with his hands folded, "Master Gu used his thoughts. She knew she was no match for you, so she naturally ran away."
Gu Qingyan also stood up with her hands folded, and said in a light voice, "His Majesty Seventh, it is very inappropriate to use the word "escape". The little princess walked very gracefully. When I caught up with her, she had rented an independent courtyard at an inn in Qingping Town.
She was waiting for me while cracking seeds and eating fruits. When I saw her, she looked very good and calm."
Chu Yan looked gloomy, "So, Mr. Gu is in deep trouble?"
Gu Qingyan smiled slightly, "If His Highness understands it this way, that's fine."
Chu Yan turned around, continued walking forward, and said expressionlessly, "If Mr. Gu is really in deep trouble, he will chase him to Nanyang regardless. I have never seen a person with the deepest affection in these years.
Young Master, in this capital, there are people who run away from each other every once in a while, people who are trapped in love and commit suicide, people who are in love and their families cannot tolerate throwing themselves into the river together, there are too many to mention. I have never seen Mr. Gu like this at the meeting today.
, the style remains unaffected."
"The little princess doesn't want me to go to Nanyang, so I naturally can't ignore it." Gu Qingyan curled her lips, "His Seventh Highness has never been a talkative person, but he did talk a lot today."
Chu Yan paused.
Gu Qingyan said calmly, "Your Highness, the Seventh Highness, doesn't like the little princess leaving the capital and returning to Nanyang, right? There is a little princess in the capital who has blocked many open and secret arrows for His Highness. His Highness, the Seventh Highness, has been going very smoothly recently. Once the little princess leaves, he will
The attention on her will shift back to His Highness Seventh Prince in a few days. It is right for His Highness Seventh Prince to have emotions."
Chu Yan turned his head and glanced at Gu Qingyan, with no emotion in his eyes, "I thought she would wait to see Su Han. After all, the An family and the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion have some old friendship. I heard from my cousin that the Zhenbei Princess used to
I said in the New Year that I would get married."
Gu Qingyan narrowed his eyes, but he didn't expect when An Huajin would tell Chu Yan about this. It seemed that he underestimated the status of Chu Yan, his cousin, in An Huajin's heart, and actually called him in advance.
After receiving the vaccination, "His Majesty Seventh Prince must have made a mistake. She doesn't want to see her at all."
"Yes!" Chu Yan turned around and stopped talking.
The two said goodbye at the gate of the palace. Gu Qingyan got on the carriage and went to the Ministry of Personnel, while Chu Yan went to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
