After half an hour, Gu Qingyan finally put down the letter.
An Yining breathed a sigh of relief, propped up her chin and asked, "Uncle, are you going to go to the morning court tomorrow?"
"Go."
An Yining was completely relieved, "If you go to the morning meeting, should I study at home by myself?"
"You follow me."
An Yining: "..."
Did he hear it correctly?
He looked at Gu Qingyan and blinked, "Little uncle, can I go out to meet people now? It's not very good? Uncle Shen, Uncle Cui, my great-grandfather, cousins, etc., even Director Lu said I'm good-looking He is so similar to my father. Even if his surname is Gu and he is a member of the Gu family, will he cause any trouble if he goes out?"
"Yes, but what does it matter?" Gu Qingyan said warmly, "As long as your surname is Gu, you are a child of the Gu family and are protected by the Gu family. In the capital, no one dares to touch the Gu family. Even if some people think that you are similar to your uncle, but Without evidence, speculation can only be speculation."
An Yining nodded, "Will His Majesty see me?"
"Don't be afraid even if you see Your Majesty. As long as I'm here, Qing Mo will be there even when I'm not with you." Gu Qingyan touched his head, "In short, just treat yourself as a member of the Gu family. ”
An Yining responded obediently, his big eyes flashing, as if he was looking forward to the surprised looks in his eyes when more people saw him.
Early the next morning, Gu Qingyan went to the morning court on time.
After disappearing for several months, he suddenly appeared and came to court in good shape, which shocked the courtiers.
Gu Qingyan not only looks good, is popular, and has good character, so not only his identity, but also the person he is, are highly respected and liked by people. Therefore, on the day of the palace banquet, there was a rumor that he had taken action against the imperial guards. Many people were shocked by the news. They did not expect that the gentle and courteous Master Gu Qi would one day become a beauty and do something that no one else would dare to do in the palace on the day of the palace banquet. Although the emperor did not attack him like An Huajin did, he was still very dissatisfied, as can be seen from Mr. Gu pretending to be ill for two months.
He left the official department to deal with various matters and went to Nanyang for more than a month. After returning to Beijing, there was still no sign of anyone. What is admirable is that the official department is solid. Even if he is absent for several months, no one can shake him. In the position of Minister of the Ministry, the staff was well organized and went about their own business. He appeared in the morning in person, with a smile on his face, gentle and courteous, his handsome appearance was not damaged by the wind, frost and rain, his eyes were like a clear lake, and his expression was calm. However, it is still the same as before. It seems that it has been away from the court for several months, but it is just a day off.
The courtiers knew in their hearts that the day of the palace banquet had really passed.
Whether it was An Huajin of the An family or Gu Qingyan of the Gu family, the storm has passed without leaving a trace.
Many people gathered around Gu Qingyan to chat, and they tacitly tacitly said not a word to each other about where Gu Qingyan had been these days, but only talked about insignificant gossip, waiting for His Majesty to come to court in the morning.
Therefore, after the emperor came for the morning court, the eunuch sang "Hey", and he walked into the Jinluan Palace. What he saw was his courtiers happily talking to each other and laughing at Yan Yan. Gu Qingyan was among them, and he was unique in appearance, and Wang An knew that,
I didn’t come to morning service today.
The emperor looked kind and cheerful, as if nothing had happened in the past few months. After letting his ministers escape, he specifically asked, "Huai'an, do you have a memorial?"
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "I have a starting point."
"Oh? Tell me and listen."
Gu Qingyan handed over his hand, "Your Majesty did not send a single soldier to His Majesty Seventh Prince to go to Wufeng Mountain to quell the rebellion. I learned today that His Majesty Seventh Prince succeeded and completed your Majesty's mission. This is a great achievement. I sincerely request that Your Majesty will reward you generously."
His Highness Seventh."
The emperor nodded. Since Chu Yan could make the assassins sent by the fourth prince, fifth prince, and King Jing not return, his son is no longer the son under his control in the past. Unknowingly, he has become a tiger out of the cage.
, how can he do it if he doesn't give a heavy reward? He has been imprisoned for so long, and no soldiers were released to let him deal with such dangerous things. Now that he has made great achievements, if there is no reward, the courtiers will not do it.<
/p>
Therefore, the emperor nodded happily, "What Aiqing said is, in your opinion, how should I reward His Highness the Seventh Prince?"
Gu Qingyan smiled, "I don't know what kind of reward His Highness would like. Why don't you wait until His Highness comes back and ask His Majesty before making a decision?"
"Well, that's fine, just follow what you say." The emperor was very easy to talk to.
The courtiers found with emotion that the emperor seemed to have returned to the amiable and talkative emperor of the past. This early morning court was a happy one.
After the morning court, the emperor called Gu Qingyan to the study alone.
When he came to the south study room, the emperor stared at Gu Qingyan for a long time before saying, "Huai'an, I really didn't expect that."
I didn’t expect you to be able to do this for that little girl of the An family, to deal with him in the palace and finally openly confront him. You have no regard for the Gu family’s principle of non-interference and non-interference.
Gu Qingyan smiled and looked at the emperor calmly, "Your Majesty, in the beginning, it was you who pushed for the marriage contract. Grandpa An was not very happy, and my grandpa was reluctant, but in the end he agreed with you."
It's not just that the old Nanyang King was unhappy, and it wasn't just that Mr. Gu was reluctant, but that the old Nanyang King didn't even dare to mention An Huajin after returning to Nanyang. He kept hiding it from her until he couldn't hide it anymore, and then told her.
Mr. Gu knew that things in the palace could not be hidden from him, and even if he could hide them for a while, he would find out within a few days, so he simply confessed to him after returning home. He was so angry that he ignored Mr. Gu for a month.<
/p>
At that time, eight years ago, it was a marriage contract that no one wanted, and they were firmly connected.
Eight years later, this silk thread has turned into a cocoon and has bound him. It is up to His Majesty to say otherwise.
The emperor choked and choked immediately.
After a moment, the emperor sighed with emotion, "I should have noticed a long time ago that you treated her unusually, very differently, and you took care of her, but I thought that since you were the heir trained by Mr. Gu, you should always treat her for her.
I was thinking about the Gu family, but I didn’t expect that I was wrong. Although you are a Gu family, you are different from the Gu family. You don’t value the Gu family’s foundation that much.”

Gu Qingyan smiled slightly, "The basic family property cannot be passed down to generations, I can see it clearly."
The emperor was surprised, but smiled, "It seems that Mr. Gu has chosen the wrong successor."
"About so."
"But the Gu family can't live without you. I've seen through that little girl's temperament. She can't let go of everything in Nanyang, and she won't let go of the Nanyang army. So, nine times out of ten, she won't be happy to marry you in the capital.
Gu family wife, I have canceled your engagement, which can be regarded as giving you a choice." The emperor looked at Gu Qingyan, "Huai'an, if you have to marry her, will you give up on the Gu family, or will she finally obey you and let go?
Everything from Nanyang comes to the capital?"
Gu Qingyan said quietly, "Let everything take its course."
The emperor smiled. At this time, he actually had a pair of eyes that were not cloudy, "If a man is a real man, why worry about not having a wife? It's just a woman, why be trapped in one person? Huai'an, if you leave the Gu family, the Gu family's hundreds of years of foundation may be very difficult.
It will soon become a piece of loose sand. In the future, no one in the world will mention the Gu family and compare it with others. I advise you, it is better to cut the knot quickly and choose a noble girl from the family, gentle and virtuous, who can sing harmoniously with you, and there is no need to face the dilemma.
Choice is the way to pursue. And you, in this court, with your talents, will benefit the people of the world. You should do something great and be famous for generations. How can you be trapped in the huge place of personal love in your heart and have nothing to do?
Make progress? Lost in the long river of history?"
Gu Qingyan's eyes were clear, "Your Majesty loves me from the bottom of my heart. I am very moved. However, if I don't live up to my expectations, I'm afraid your majesty's hard work will be in vain."
"You are still young. Don't make decisions in a hurry. In one thought, you can make decisions for a lifetime. In one thought, you can also go in opposite directions." The emperor patted Gu Qingyan on the shoulder and spoke with sincerity.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said no more.
On this day, the monarch and his ministers chatted for half an hour, and they were very harmonious.
Half an hour later, Gu Qingyan left the south study room, stretched out her hand to lightly flick the wrinkles on her shoulders, and walked out of the palace.
Before he could walk out of the palace gate, a woman's voice sounded, "Master Gu, please stay!"
Gu Qingyan turned around and saw the third princess Chu Xiyun.
Chu Xiyun seemed to be in a hurry, panting, and came to Gu Qingyan. She stopped three feet away from him and said to him, "Mr. Gu, do you often correspond with my cousin? I am here
It is difficult to communicate with her in the palace, can you help me send her a letter?"
Gu Qingyan nodded, "Okay."
Chu Xiyun took out two letters from her sleeve, handed them to Gu Qingyan, and said in a low voice, "One is written by me, and the other is written by my mother. Please leave it to Mr. Gu."
Gu Qingyan reached out and took it, "I will send someone to deliver it to her today."
Chu Xiyun nodded, thanked her, and turned back.
Gu Qingyan left the palace with two letters in her pocket and told Qing Mo to send someone to Nanyang immediately.
