Chapter 183

In ancient times, there were not many things that could entertain people.

But some high-ranking official families have a lot of free time, so they need to find some way to kill this free time.

Reading books, watching operas, listening to music, and playing chess are all types of leisure.

For the royal family, spring hunting is also a form of entertainment, and it is a very advanced form of entertainment.

Spring hunting can also be called spring hunting. The royal family hunts in the royal forest every one or several years.

Although most of the limited personnel of Spring Hunting are the royal family, such as emperors, princes, and concubines, but because the royal family of Qi is scarce, some ministers and close friends of princes and concubines can also enter it.

Zhao Muqiu is Emperor Qi'an's most beloved daughter, and none of them, so Emperor Qi'an specially allowed Zhao Muqiu to bring her friends to play together, regardless of whether her friends have official positions or not.

This position can be said to be very precious, and the children of the major officials' families, the children of the aristocratic families, all want this position, and they all want to be Zhao Muqiu's 'best friend'.

However, Zhao Muqiu has never met those people during this period of time, and always comes out with Gu Chen.

But Gu Chen was the last to know about it.

Zhao Muqiu didn't think much about it, she just wanted to invite Gu Chen over, so she invited, but she didn't know that this invitation would push Gu Chen to the forefront.

Gu Chen thought a lot, but in the end he still didn't refuse.

Because he knew very well that this might be his best chance to meet Emperor Qi Andi, and also the best chance to get to know him.

These days, Gu Chen and Zhao Muqiu talked a lot about Emperor Qi And, but Zhao Muqiu said very little, sometimes even Gu Zuo said that he would not talk to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen could tell that Zhao Muqiu was not unwilling to tell Gu Chen about Emperor Qi Andi, she just had some concerns in her heart and didn't want to say it.

Therefore, if Gu Chen wants to understand Emperor Qi And, he needs to seize this opportunity.

Gu Chen groaned in his heart, showing embarrassment on the surface and said:
"...Your Highness, I... I don't know martial arts, I don't know how to ride and shoot. If I go to Chunshou, I will be a little..."

"It's okay, you can just wait with us at the finish line, father and the others, and you don't need to hunt on horseback."

Zhao Muqiu waved his hand casually and said.

Gu Chen feigned hesitation, and after a while he nodded and agreed:
"If that's the case, then Ning Shun would be more respectful than obedient, and I will go then."

Zhao Muqiu smiled, held hands with Gu Chen and said:

"Then it's settled. I'll send someone to pick you up when the time comes... You should dress up at home."

"?"

"Ah, I was wrong. I mean, tidy up your appearance and don't make a fool of yourself in front of my family."

Zhao Muqiu said with a smile, not sure if she was really wrong or intentional.

Seeing the anticipation and ridicule flashing in Zhao Muqiu's eyes, Gu Chen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt that his agreement was too arbitrary. The reason why Zhao Muqiu invited him to go to Spring Hunting might not be that simple.

But they have already agreed to Zhao Muqiu, and it seems that it is not good to go back on the moment, so Gu Chen can only nod in agreement.

.........

It was already night when we parted ways with Zhao Muqiu, Gu Chen brought Liu'er back from outside the mansion, and was about to go back to his room to rest.

But on the way, he noticed that the servants were looking at him with extremely strange eyes.

Frowning slightly, Gu Chen didn't care about it at first, until he saw that the housekeeper in charge of his daily life turned into a nanny, finally realized something was wrong.

He immediately asked Liu Er to ask what was going on, but the news he got surprised Gu Chen.

"Master, they... they said, Master, you are actually... you are..."

"What is it?"

"It's a woman..."

"???"

A bunch of question marks appeared on Gu Chen's head, and he stood there in a daze as if he had been frozen by a freeze technique, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After a long time, Gu Chen frowned and said angrily:

"Who spread the rumors!! Could it be that Gu Qiyuan!!"

Gu Qiyuan regarded Gu Chen as a woman, but Gu Chen didn't particularly care about it. It was just a misunderstanding by others, as long as the Gu family knew Gu Chen's true identity.

But if this Gu Qiyuan dared to talk nonsense...

Liu'er had never seen Gu Chen angry before, seeing Gu Chen's angry look at this moment, she couldn't help being startled, she almost didn't kneel on the ground, and said in a panic:
"No... I don't know, it's just that the servants say that, say yes... even outsiders say that..."

"Outside?"

Gu Chen was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized where Liu Er was talking about outside.

Obviously, it is outside the Gu mansion, that is, within the capital.

At this moment, Gu Chen finally realized that something was wrong, because if it was spread like this in the capital, it shouldn't be caused by Gu Qiyuan's nonsense, otherwise, how could Gu Qiyuan alone spread this rumor all over the capital?
At the same time, Gu Chen also realized that it was not good, because if the whole capital spread it like this, it would mean...

Just as Gu Chen thought of this, the nanny outside the door knocked on the door with kindness and came in, saying to Gu Chen:
"Little...Master, the Patriarch asked you to come over."

"……I see."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Gu Chen followed behind Mammy expressionlessly, and came to the main hall of the Gu family.

In this room that is usually used for meetings, several main members of the Gu family have gathered.

Gu Chengyi, Gu Chengli, and Gu Chengye of the 'Cheng' generation were all there. Seeing Gu Chen approaching, the three of them looked at Gu Chen at the same time, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Glancing at the three of them, and then at Gu Chengye who hadn't seen him for a long time, Gu Chen cupped his hands and said:
"Ning Shun pays homage to the three uncles."

"Ah."

Gu Chengyi, who is in charge of the Gu family, nodded, and then said straightforwardly:
"Ning Shun, don't be nervous, I called you here today to ask you something."

Looking up at Gu Chengyi, Gu Chen nodded and said:

"Second Uncle wants to ask something, but it doesn't matter."

"..."

Gu Chengyi paused, glanced left and right at the two brothers beside him, took a deep breath, and asked with a strange expression:
"Ning Shun, you... are you... a woman?"

"...Second Uncle, this joke is not funny."

Gu Chen was expressionless, and looked directly at Gu Chengyi.

Gu Chengye on the side coughed dryly, and said meaningfully:

"Ning Shun, there are some things that don't need to be hidden from our uncles. After all, this is what the Holy Majesty said personally. The Holy Majesty... can't be wrong, right?"

"... Your Majesty?"

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth twitched, he didn't know what kind of intention Emperor Qi An had in saying such words.

His face turned red and white, Gu Chen pretended to be indignant and said:
"Even His Majesty... His Majesty can't do such a thing like talking about men and women!"

"Nonsense!" Gu Chengyi slapped the table down: "The Holy Spirit speaks well, how can there be a mistake! Ning Shun, if you have any difficulties, you can tell us in detail, you have already arrived at the Gu residence, there is no need to hide anything. "

"I want to ask, is there any basis for the Holy Majesty to say this?"

Gu Chen said unhappily, that looks really like a child who has been wronged but dare not speak out.

Gu Chengyi was about to speak when Gu Chengye interrupted him and said:

"Well, it's like this, Ning Shun, didn't you go out to have fun with Her Royal Highness recently, so..."

What happened was actually not as complicated as Gu Chen imagined.

It was Zhao Muqiu who went out to play with Gu Chen every day, and was in charge of watching Zhao Muqiu's guards, so he reported the matter to Emperor Qi Andi.

He also said something about whether there is something wrong with Her Royal Highness going out with a man every day.

Then Emperor Qi And asked back: Isn't Gu Ningshun a woman?

The princess guard was a little stunned: But Gu Ningshun is the young master of the Gu family, I have never heard that he is a woman...

Then Emperor Qi'an said to the guard while reviewing the memorial: "Mu Qiu said it was a woman, so it is a woman. I believe my daughter will not lie to me."

In the end... things became what they are now.

I ride a horse...

After listening to Gu Chengye's story, Gu Chen cursed in his heart for the first time.

He had reason to believe that Emperor Qi'an did it on purpose.

Having been with Zhao Muqiu for so long, Gu Chen thinks he already knows a little about Zhao Muqiu, knowing that sometimes this guy is not very smart, and he always insists on thinking that something is right.

Gu Chen has only been with Zhao Muqiu for a few days, and he already knows Zhao Muqiu's character.

Emperor Qi An is Zhao Muqiu's father, who would believe him if he said he didn't know Zhao Muqiu's character?
Without investigation, without personally coming to Gu's residence to inquire, just relying on Zhao Muqiu's words, he arbitrarily determined Gu Chen's gender.

If this kind of behavior were placed in the United States in Gu Chen's previous life, he would be sprayed to death!
Seeing that Gu Chen was silent, Gu Chengyi coughed dryly and said:
"So we came here today to confirm that if you are really a woman, you don't have to hide anything in the Gu residence..."

I hide from your sister!

Gu Chen cursed angrily in his heart, his face was as cold as frost and he said:

"Thank you, Er Bo, for your 'kindness', but there's no need, Ning Shun is a man or a woman, Ning Shun knows in his heart that rumors from outsiders have nothing to do with me, if it's really because of the rumors, I'm going to dress up as a woman, that would be embarrassing , Do the uncles have anything else to do? If not, Ning Shun will leave."

"Ning Shun, it's okay if you firmly believe that you are a man, I'll wait for someone to check..."

"Second Uncle, if you want to insult Ning Shun, Ning Shun will leave the Gu family now!"

Gu Chen said righteously, Gu Chengyi frowned, and there was some anger on his face.

Just when he was about to get angry, Gu Chengli and Gu Chengye on the side tried to dissuade him:

"Oh, second brother, calm down."

"Yeah, Ning Shun is still young, it's understandable if he doesn't understand, let alone... he... she... oh... forget it, Ning Shun, you go down first, and we can discuss this matter later."

Gu Chengye looked at Gu Chen for a long time and didn't know what to say, in the end he just waved his hand to let Gu Chen go down.

Gu Chen left the main hall with an ugly face, and returned to his room to relax for a long time without recovering.

In the end, Gu Chen simply called Jie Biao Danxi in, and said to her in a cold voice:

"Take me to Danzo."

Gu Chen gritted his teeth when he said this.

Jie Biao Danxi could see that Gu Chen was angry now, and she didn't dare to say something joking, so she grabbed his hand and led him away from Gu's residence.
