Chapter 269

"Oh, by the way, that fellow Fu Dingyi is very well-informed. Hearing that you are back, he sent me a letter, saying that he wants to welcome you in Hongyun Building."

Thinking of something, Gu Yan let go of Pei Yanru and said.

"Give me a cleanse in Hongyun Tower?" Pei Yanru laughed.

Thanks to him, he could figure out which family of normal people would clean up the dust in the flower building.

But this is indeed in line with his temperament, after all, Hongyun Tower is his, and she doesn't need to pay for whatever she eats in it.

"You also know that he is a profiteer." Gu Yan also thought of that level, and cursed with a smile.

Ming Xi stood aside, looking at the familiar yard, the flowers surrounded by the fence had all withered, and now it was covered with grass, the pink-faced and peach-cheeked girl looked at it, thinking of the old days, unconsciously blushing orbital.

It's good to be back.

nice to be back
"Girl, you must be hungry. This servant is going to the kitchen to prepare some food that you and Ms. Gu like to eat."

While talking, the three of them walked in together and entered the room. Ming Xin came back a little earlier and had already turned on the lights in the room.

Under the smudged bright yellow light, people unconsciously calmed down. Pei Yanru turned around slightly, only to see the little girl's eyes were red. Hearing this again, she smiled and stroked the girl's hair.

"You are also tired from the journey, go back and rest, let you have two days off, go to the street with Ming Xin, it is so late, there is no need to prepare anything."

Hearing this, Ming Xi raised her eyes, the mist still in her eyes, "Is there any money?"

"Hey." Gu Yan laughed unceremoniously.

Pei Yanru withdrew his hand, "Yes, is one or two enough?"

"The girl is so stingy."

"The fifty pennies?"

"Don't, don't! The girl is the most kind, beautiful and generous!!"

Pei Yanru smiled, stopped joking with Mingxi, and sent the two little maids back to rest, then turned to look at Gu Yan.

She pulled Gu Yan's wrist, and the two of them sat at the table together, "I saw that you had something on your mind before, can you tell me about it?"

Gu Yan usually kept silent, she happened to see her look different than usual, it was inconvenient to ask her at that time, but now that she is back in the mansion, it is easy to say anything.

"You've seen it all, but it's really nothing, it's just that that period of time was my mother's memorial day, so I couldn't make it in time to worship." Gu Yan's eyes flashed a dark color, and he said softly.

Pei Yanru lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes fell on Gu Yan's tightly clenched hands, and she said, "Then choose a good day, and go to Fojing Temple together to place a memorial tablet for your mother, so that you can pay your respects."

Speaking of which, Pei Yanru stared at Gu Yan's beautiful side face. Gu Yan was about the same age as her, long past the age to discuss marriage, and now he is no longer in the Lu family.

According to the rules of the Mo country, there are many rules and procedures for children's marriage, but aside from these, if you don't have a decent status, you can't marry a good family.

"Okay, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first, and tomorrow I'll get rid of that boy Fu Dingyi for you. If I want to pick you up, I'll have to stay in Jinyu Tower anyway."

Gu Yan got up, her eyebrows curved, and a smile appeared on her lips, "You should go to bed earlier."

Pei Yanru nodded, watched him go away, lowered his eyes and began to think about this matter carefully.

-

The next day, before dawn, a carriage went out from the back door of Pei's mansion to Zhuangzi outside the city.

At the same time, a piece of news spread all over the capital, circulating in the streets and alleys.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Pei family has an engagement with the Taifu."

"What's the big girl? That's the princess that His Majesty has appointed personally. The princess is engaged to the Grand Tutor. That's a big deal!"

"Yes, something may happen in the court today."

above the hall.

The middle-aged emperor on the high platform was a little more rounded than last year, his eyes were much duller, and his eyes were heavily puffy. Hearing that all the chatter below him were refuting his construction of Rongyun Palace, he felt annoyed.

Xiao Changcun threw the memorial in front of him to the ground, his face was full of anger, "Presumptuous, I am the Son of Heaven, this world belongs to me, I just built a small palace, and you have such objections, how can it be in the future? If you want to force the palace, you will fail!"

As soon as these words fell, it was as if a knife had been stabbed in the loyal minister's heart. Many people knelt down on the ground in fear and fear, and shouted, "I dare not wait!"

"Don't you dare?"

Xiao Changcun stood up abruptly, completely lacking in the appearance that an emperor should have, full of hostility, "I see that all of you are very courageous!"

Hearing this, the emperor got angry and fell silent. The people standing there lowered their heads, so as not to let the disaster happen to him.

Xiao Changcun looked at the standing upright figure among the group of kneeling people, his eyes flickered darkly, and he sat back again, "Teacher also objects?"

In fact, he asked the question knowingly, and most of the people who stood up and said that he disagreed were the Taifu's people.

Hearing this, Shen Yuyuan's voice was calm, "Your Majesty, building a temporary palace is a serious matter. After a good year, I will definitely not say anything. It's just that this year there will be a natural disaster and the people will suffer. If your majesty insists on building a temporary palace, I'm afraid it will lose the hearts of the people. The country of Mexico is useless."

He spoke calmly, but Xiao Changcun was burning with anger.

He has heard such rhetoric almost every day for the past two months, and even the best patience has been worn out.

He waved his hand, "Since this matter cannot be resolved, let's discuss other matters together."

After finishing speaking, the emperor turned around and left, and the chief eunuch next to him had no choice but to scream, "Retire!"

The ashes that touched his nose was something that Yun Jiuhe had expected a long time ago, and his complexion was normal, as if he had come out of breakfast, but beside him, Song Zhao sighed, "You said that our Majesty is really, what do you love? No, you have to pamper women"

Yun Jiuhe raised his eyebrows, "I don't think it's a problem to spoil women."

"Hey, it's not a problem anymore. In the past, although His Majesty didn't have any outstanding achievements in political affairs, at least his actions are not as absurd as they are now. After seeing how obsessed with women, he often loses his temper and throws memorials, ignoring the government and threatening him. Compromise by the courtiers is not what a monarch should do."

Song Zhao's analysis is clear and logical.

Yun Jiuhe was silent for a while, and it was rare for him to discuss, "Since ancient times, a husband should give his wife doting, not to mention that His Majesty is the emperor and has a harem of three thousand, but you are right about one thing. , it is indeed wrong to be obsessed with women, and it is even more wrong to neglect state affairs."

"Am I right?"

Song Zhao is proud of himself.

"By the way, at your age, you haven't seen a girl at home yet?" Yun Jiuhe glanced at Song Zhao.

Song Zhao is different from him, there are relatives at home.

After being promoted and settled in the mansion, he took all the family members over.

"I've met a hundred or eighty people earlier, even if I didn't find a match, I didn't bother to look at them. There are a lot of things waiting for me in Dali Temple. I don't care who I marry, but I don't care about that." Song Zhaoman said indifferently.

"That's because you haven't met a girl you like." Yun Jiuhe concluded.

While talking, the two of them arrived at the gate of the palace before they knew it. Song Zhao saw the carriage of Tai Tuo's residence at a glance, thought for a while, and walked over, "Xiaguan has seen Mr. Tai Tu."
