marriage gentleman

Chapter 20

After a few days, Qi Guang was ready to leave the palace in disguise.

She originally wanted to call Shang Luli, but it was almost early autumn, and the household department had a lot of things to do.She thought about it, and finally gave up.Jiang Dezhong observed his words and expressions, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to call Mr. Zhou as a companion?"

Qi Guang said, "No need."

After Ah Qing entered the palace for an audience last time, his body, which was recovering in a seven-to-one manner, accidentally contracted a cold again. Now spring and autumn are the seasons when people are most likely to get sick.

After Jiang Dezhong listened, he looked at Qi Guang's expression calmly.

"Then call Mr. Yun to accompany you?"

Thinking of Yun Zhen, Qi Guang couldn't help smiling, and she said, "Alright, let him come over."

Jiang Dezhong responded, and couldn't help thinking in his heart that Mr. Zhou's illness might not be able to restore his original favor after he recovered.After touching a stick of incense, he brought Yun Zhen over.

Qi Guang smiled and said: "Go, I will take you out of the palace to play."

Yun Zhen was a little surprised, and was taken aback.It took a while to react, and he nodded numbly.Jiang Dezhong whispered in Yun Zhen's ear: "After leaving the palace, you must not reveal your majesty's identity."

Qi Guang looked at Yun Zhen, and said, "After you leave the palace, you should call me a sister, because the age is right for you."

Ever since, Yun Zhen went out of the palace with Qi Guang nervously.The carriage rumbled and slowly drove out of the palace gate.Along the way, Yun Zhen was silent, sitting in the corner of the carriage, and looked at Qi Guang cautiously from time to time.

Qi Guang noticed Yun Zhen's gaze and said with a smile, "Come on, call me sister."

"...Sister."

Qi Guang patted his head: "Good boy."

After a while, Qi Guang suddenly said: "I heard that you are the only one who gets closer to Su Chengyu in Nanfengxuan?"

Yun Zhen said, "Brother Su treats me very well."

Qi Guang said with a smile: "Su Chengyu is indeed a good person."

When Xu Shi mentioned someone he was familiar with, Yun Zhen gradually let go of his guard, and he asked aloud, "Sister, where are we going?"

She said: "Go to the Chen Mansion. When the time comes, you have to remember that I am Wen Xin, the daughter of Wai Lang Wen Zhong, a farmer from the Ministry of Industry, and you are his concubine Wen Zhen. Don't expose yourself to Chen Nanzhu."

Yun Zhen nodded.

Qi Guang laughed again and said, "Call me sister again."

"Sister."

Qi Guang smiled even more.Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Chen residence.Qi Guang had already asked the Wenfu to send a greeting card to Chen Nanzhu, and she even made trouble for Chen Li during the morning court today. It will take a while, and Chen Li might not be able to escape from the Ministry of Rites before evening.Qi Guang and Yun Zhen entered the mansion together.

The Chen Mansion was rather deserted. After Chen Li's first wife passed away, he did not reunite for a long time. Because of this, there were only a dozen or so people in the huge Chen Mansion.The mother-in-law led Qi Guang and Yun Zhen through the corridor, and they walked for a while before stopping.

Sitting in the gazebo, Chen Nanzhu waved to Qi Guang.

Qi Guang stepped forward, pulled Yun Zhen over, and said: "He is my younger brother, named Wen Zhen, he has always wanted to come to the Chen Mansion to have a look, so I brought him here today."

Qi Guang sat down.

Chen Nanzhu was a little nervous, she asked: "Do you have..."

Qi Guang nodded.

Chen Nanzhu's five fingers couldn't help tightening, and his chest throbbed wildly.Since the farewell to Nanhua Temple, she has met him five times in total. He has always treated her very well. Although she has never confessed her feelings, he should be able to feel it.She is nearly twenty this year, and her father is already looking for a good son-in-law everywhere. If she wants to marry, she wants to marry someone she likes.

Her expression was full of anticipation, Qi Guang sighed softly, and said, "I've found out for you, Nanzhu, you should find someone else. Don't waste time on Rong Zheng."

Chen Nanzhu's complexion turned pale.

In just a short moment, the teardrops fell down.Qi Guang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Nanzhu to be so troubled by love.She glanced at Yun Zhen, who looked at a loss.

She said: "Don't cry anymore. Since Rong Zheng doesn't like you, it's fine if you don't like him. We have thousands of sons in Zhou Dynasty, and we can't compare with Dawei's son. The same is the prince, and King Min is also among the people. Longfeng. You might as well change your mind and like King Min from now on."

Chen Nanzhu cried more and more.

Qi Guang said helplessly: "You..."

She suddenly missed Lu Li a little bit, once Lu Li spoke, it would definitely make Chen Nanzhu stop crying.

At this time, Chen Nanzhu suddenly said: "But I only like him, he doesn't like me, but I still like him." Her expression was firm, and her tone was quite stubborn.Qi Guang didn't know what to say, so he stood up and said goodbye.

When leaving Chen's residence, Yun Zhen asked in a low voice: "Isn't His Majesty able to marry the girl from the Chen family to the sixth prince?"

Qi Guang glanced at Yun Zhen and asked, "Why?"

Yun Zhen said: "In this way, wouldn't it be the wish of the girl from the Chen family?"

Qi Guang shook his head.

"No, no, twisted melons are not sweet, and I don't do such things. Besides, Rong Zheng is the prince of Great Wei, and Chen Nanzhu is the girl of our Great Zhou. The customs of Great Wei are different from our Great Zhou. Chen Nanzhu After marrying all the way, Chen Li might hate the widow to death. And..."

Yun Zhen listened with pricked ears and asked, "And what?"

Qi Guang said: "Chen Nanzhu may not like Rong Zheng that much, sometimes people are like this, the more they can't get it, the more persistent they become, and in the end, they don't know whether they like people or obsession."

Yun Zhen seemed to understand but not understand.

Qi Guang rubbed his head and said: "You will understand when you grow up. But then again, the word love has really tortured people since ancient times."

Yun Zhen asked, "Your Majesty is talking about Mr. Zhou?"

Qi Guang was taken aback.

Yun Zhen said again: "Everyone in Nanfeng Xuan said that the person on His Majesty's heart is Mr. Zhou."

Qi Guang glanced at Yun Zhen again, and suddenly felt a headache.She said: "When did the people in Nanfengxuan become so open-mouthed? There are some words you have heard and forget it. What is sharp-hearted or not, life is alive, and feelings are all false."

As my mother said, as the most honorable person in the Great Zhou Kingdom, what is there that I can't get?The word love, if there is one, it will be icing on the cake, if it is not, it will be laughed at, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, only yourself is the most real.When I returned to the palace, it happened that the lights were just on.

Qi Guang returned to Chengqian Palace. Yun Zhen was about to leave, but Jiang Dezhong said: "Mr. Yun, please stay. Your Majesty has ordered that Mr. Yun cannot leave for the time being. Please stay in the Pian Pavilion, Mr. Yun."

Yun Zhen was taken aback for a while, then asked, "Eunuch Jiang, what is your Majesty doing?"

Jiang Dezhong winked at him.

Yun Zhen's heart trembled suddenly.

The emperor who came out of the palace today did not bring Zhou Muqing, nor did he lead Lu Li, but he was the only one who brought him along, and told him that all feelings in life are false.This... isn't the line between the lines saying that the flesh is the real thing?
Yun Zhen broke out in a cold sweat.

After a while, Qi Guang came out and changed into the usual clothes in the palace.Yun Zhen swallowed.Qi Guangshi approached calmly, picked up a cup of tea, took a few sips slowly, and sat down beside Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen smelled the fragrance of her daughter's family who was close at hand.

"Yun Zhen."

Qi Guang suddenly approached.

Yun Zhen swallowed again, her mind was in a mess, her ears were buzzing, her complexion was blue and white.Dazed for a moment, Yun Zhen rolled off the chair directly.

Qi Guang's mouth twitched.

He said, "I...I..."

Qi Guang said: "I have no intention of punishing you." She looked at Yun Zhen on the ground and said, "As long as you do it honestly, I will not care."

"what?"

Qi Guang narrowed his eyes and said, "What is the purpose of begging me to go to your sixth prince's residence?"

When Yun Zhen heard this, she immediately knew that she would make a mistake again.But hearing Qi Guang's question, the cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes.Although Qi Guang has a peaceful face at this moment, he knows what the wrath of the emperor is.

He said, "I... I'm here to find someone."

"Oh?" Qi Guang raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Yun Zhen whispered: "I have an elder brother who was lost since I was a child. I have never seen him. Before my mother died, she told me that I must find my elder brother. My mother said that my elder brother was kidnapped when he was four years old. , My father and mother searched for several times before they found out that the place where my elder brother appeared last was the capital of Dazhou, and after the war broke out in Wei Dynasty, my parents took me to Dazhou, but I didn’t expect to die in a plague.”

Yun Zhen's voice became softer and softer.

Qi Guang asked: "What is the relationship between your elder brother and your sixth prince?"

Yun Zhen said: "I think my elder brother is from Wei, and he was separated when he was four years old, and the sixth prince is also from Wei, and he came to Dazhou when he was four years old. Maybe the servants of the sixth prince will know my brother's whereabouts, so I wanted to inquire about it."

Qi Guang suddenly realized.

"Get up, tell the widow about this earlier, maybe the widow can help you find your brother. Has your mother ever told you what your brother looks like?"

Yun Zhen shook her head: "Mother only said that my brother loves to eat bamboo shoots since he was a child."

This... It's as if I didn't say it. When I was young, I loved eating bamboo shoots. It may not be the case when I grow up. Just relying on this alone, the chance of finding my brother is very small, and I can only resign myself to fate.
