Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 348
The wheels rolled, pressing on the straight and flat streets of the capital, all the way back in the direction of Gu's residence.

Sitting on the carriage, Gu Yanxi raised the curtain curiously to look out, looked at the bustling crowd on the street, at the merchants who greeted them with a smile on their faces, and then looked into the distance, occasionally seeing fireworks rising, recalling that just now The scenes experienced in the palace gave the illusion that they had been separated for a long time.

Compared to Gu Yanxi's calmness, Gu Yanchao seemed much more anxious. God knows how nervous he was when he heard that Concubine Chang Gui invited Gu Yanxi to Shoukang Palace to speak. This woman who even the queen avoids her in the harem seems to be Weak, in fact, it is definitely not a character to be trifled with.

Concubine Chang Gui is not Princess Huayi, she can be fooled by Jiaojiao; but right now, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but this person is still in the mood to open the curtain to look at the scenery on the street, which is a must. Gu Yanchao really didn't know what to say.

"Jiaojiao, why did Concubine Chang Gui call you to Shoukang Palace? What did she say to you?"

Looking at the elder brother who looked restless, Gu Yanxi no longer kept the secret, put down the curtain in his hand and sat back in his seat, and narrated what happened in Shoukang Palace, and finally concluded: "In the final analysis, does Concubine Chang still want to pass the I came here to understand the attitude of our Gu family. It seems that Princess Huayi's thoughts have long been known to the imperial concubine, which is why today's incident happened; Brother, I really didn't realize that you are so popular, now Even the imperial concubine is very fond of you as her son-in-law."

Hearing Gu Yanxi's jokes, Gu Yanchao waved his hands impatiently and said, "I have never had the slightest affection for a man and a woman towards Princess Huayi. In normal times, even if we meet in the palace, it is still polite." Wait, I will never do anything that violates the rules. I don't know how I attracted this princess, not only did she miss it, but now even the noble concubine has jumped out to interfere with this matter."

As he said that, Gu Yanchao punched himself in the palm of his hand, and said, "I really can't explain or explain the current situation clearly."

Seeing the irritable look of the eldest brother, Gu Yanxi smiled and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said: "Brother, it seems that you still want to understand at this time, knowing that things like this at the stall cannot be explained clearly. Because the identity of the person who has a crush on you is too special, if you stand up and explain it yourself, or Gu Fu stands up and explains it, people will mistakenly think that we look down on Princess Huayi. Who is Princess Huayi? The most beloved daughter of Emperor Chao, and the rarest daughter of Concubine Chang Gui, if such rumors spread, even if you are an upstart in the court and grandson of your grandfather, the emperor will be dissatisfied with you in his heart, very likely And because of this matter, I will blame the Gu family. If the matter really happens to this point, it will be very bad, so if we want to solve this matter, we must have a long-term plan."

Gu Yanchao knew that Gu Yanxi's words were not alarmist, and the relationship between him and Princess Huayi is very delicate right now, just like what the younger sister said, if he is not handled properly and makes a wrong step, not only will he be involved, but it is very likely that he will be involved. The entire Gu family paid for it.

Thinking of being the grandson of the Gu family, not only has he not earned the honor and honor for his family, but he has brought such a big hidden danger to his family in the blink of an eye, Gu Yanchao just feels shameless to face his parents, and also shameless to look up To the little sister who sat opposite and worried about him.

Gu Yanchao's thoughts couldn't be hidden from Gu Yanxi at all. Looking at the tall and big brother sitting in the corner of the carriage with his head hanging like a child who did something wrong, with a look of remorse and regret, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but think You want to laugh, and said: "Brother, do you think that you have brought trouble to the family, and even regret why you entered the palace as a servant and let the princess fall in love with you?"

Gu Yanchao raised his head to look at Gu Yanxi, and seeing that she had guessed clearly what was on his mind, he stopped hiding it and said, "From the moment I abandoned literature to martial arts, I have never regretted anything I have done. A decision, but until just now in the palace, after I knew that you were invited by Concubine Chang Gui to Shoukang Palace, my whole heart was filled with unspeakable regret; Taking the civil service examination, I want to be a person who dances a spear and sticks; I regret why I accepted the emperor's reward proposal after winning the title of military champion, and become the emperor's emperor; I even regret knowing that I have a ostentatious The face is not well hidden, but people can see it, so as to lay the groundwork for today's disaster."

As he said that, Gu Yanchao hugged his head tightly with a tangled expression. It seemed that he was really upset: "If, I mean, if in the end, Princess Huayi still can't let me go, the worst thing is to marry her back home ;Anyway, sooner or later I will marry a wife, who is not married?"

Hearing this, Gu Yanxi disagreed: "Brother, why did you become pessimistic before the matter happened to that point? You must know that my mother and I have never felt that you have brought trouble to our family and brought trouble to our family. Disaster, I believe that even if my father is standing here at this moment, he will say the same thing as me."

Gu Yanxi sat closer to Gu Yanchao, with a smile in his eyes, like a hot spring in a mountain stream, wrapping Gu Yanchao tightly: "Brother, I can clearly hear all the regrets you just said, but, Do you know? Your regrets are what I am most proud of; my grandfather was in the first rank of the court, shouldered the position of grand master, was trusted by the emperor, and was supported and respected by courtiers. As his son and grandson, even Even if you do nothing, you can still get a place in the yamen by relying on your grandfather's relationship; but, neither you nor your father have ever disappointed and humiliated your grandfather."

"Father relied on his strength to participate in the scientific examination and became a student of the Son of Heaven, step by step from Dali Temple to where he is today, and you, brother, are even more amazing, single-handedly relying on your own hands to win the title of champion of martial arts for yourself , adding a bit of heroism to the scholarly heirloom Gu's family; such an outstanding achievement, but ordinary people can't even hope for it, how did it become the biggest regret in your mouth?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi's voice paused, and she grasped Gu Yanchao's hand tightly, and said in an affirmative tone: "Brother, how do you say something? It depends on man's efforts! The glory and survival of the Gu family have never been based on Sacrificing your happiness in exchange, what my mother and I want to see most is a big brother who can really laugh from the bottom of his heart, not a family man who is willing to compromise and bow his head."
