The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 446 Extra 2: Six years later (5)

"Hire a cat, who wants to hire a cat?"

A young man's curious voice came from outside the door curtain.

While talking, a handsome boy of twelve or thirteen years old and a girl in green clothes in her early twenties walked side by side into the Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

Gu Yuan called out obediently: "Uncle, aunt."

The visitors were none other than the siblings Shen Yunmu and Shen Qianhuang.

As soon as the siblings came in, they saw Uhagalou dressed in white monk robes, and their eyes were fixed on him.

Shen Qianhuang did not know Wuhejialou, but she had heard some descriptions of the current Emperor Hao from other people's conversations, and also knew some of the customs of the Nanhao royal family, and she immediately guessed the identity of the white-robed monk in front of her. identity.

Shen Qianhuang was a little surprised by the harmonious scene in front of him, but it didn't show on his face, and his smile was elegant and decent.

"It's you!" Shen Yunmu excitedly raised his finger and pointed at Wuhejia Tower and blurted out.

"Meow?" Black cat Yueying called.

Shen Yunmu also saw Yueying squatting beside Wuhejialou's shoes. He seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he declared: "We gave Yueying a betrothal gift when he took her in!"

Shen Yunmu thought that Wuhejialou was here to beg Yueying, so he spoke righteously to Wuhejialou. He could not help but mention the past seven years ago in his words.

Only then did Gu Yuan and Shen Qianhuang learn that Yueying was crushed by a carriage on the street when she was a child and one of her hind legs was broken. Later, Wuhejialou sent the cat to Jishi Hall. Shen Qianchen personally cured Yueying and gave her to him. After receiving a betrothal gift from Wuhejialou to hire a cat, he officially took Yueying home.

Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little emotional.

Seven years ago, Shen Qianchen gave Wuhejialou a bottle of life-saving pills as a betrothal gift for picking up a cat. Later, the bottle of life-saving pills protected Wuhejialou's heart when he was poisoned by the "Poison Moon". Saved his life.

Gu Jue also knew about this. It was Gu Jue who secretly sent Wuhejialou back to the capital after taking the life-saving pills, and then asked her to treat Wuhejialou.

Looking back on this past event now, Shen Qianchen felt that this should be a mysterious cause and effect.

Many people and many things in this world seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are inextricably linked, and everything goes round and round, all due to cause and effect.

"Fourth brother," Shen Qianhuang quickly pulled Shen Yunmu's sleeve and pointed at the little kitten in Wuhejialou's arms, "This must be the one His Majesty Emperor Hao wants to hire."

Shen Yunmu: "..."

It was only at this moment that Shen Yunmu noticed a small black and white kitten in Wuhejialou's arms, and couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

Shen Yunmu has just turned twelve this year. His height has jumped very quickly recently, and he is already as tall as Shen Qianhuang, but he is still a little kid on the inside.

Shen Qianchen shook his head secretly: Shen Zhi had also mentioned it to her recently, saying that Shen Yunmu was so disgusting at his age that one day he would have to be sent to the military camp to have a hard time like Chu Yunyi did. This guy's temperament. Jade cannot be made into a tool if it is not carved.

Chen Yunmu cleared his throat and said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Hao, I also hired Yueying's cat and gave him a lot of gifts!"

This sentence made both Shen Qianchen and Shen Qianhuang laugh uncontrollably.

"Meow!" Yueying raised her little head and squatted beside Wuhajialou's shoes, and called out again obediently.

Gu Yuan, who understands cat language, kindly helped Yue Ying translate: "Yue Ying likes to eat dried fish and chicken the most!"

After a few words, the atmosphere in the room became lively again, and everyone was talking and laughing.

Wuhejialou couldn't help but laugh, and readily agreed to Yueying's offer of dried fish and chicken for the next year.

He gently touched the little kitten in his hand again, his brows were soft, and his handsome face seemed to be shining, like a finely carved jade statue.

"Has His Majesty Emperor Hao given it a name?" Shen Qianhuang suddenly asked, her gentle eyes turning on the black and white kitten, and she felt a little regretful: she was a step too late, and if she missed it, she would miss it.

"..." Wuhejialou was startled, and looked at Shen Qianhuang with deep eyes.

His eyes were deep, wise, and gentle, like a mirror or an ocean, reflecting everything in the world, making her feel like every detail was reflected in front of him, as if his gaze could penetrate that person's appearance and penetrate directly into the soul.

Everything about her was seen through by the monk in front of her.

Wuhejialou also remembered Shen Qianhuang. Seven years ago, he had met "Chu Qianhuang" when he was on an envoy to Daqi. At that time, he could feel "Chu Qianhuang's" eyes twinkling with ulterior motives.

He had never had a close relationship with "Chu Qianhuang" and had only met her a few times. He didn't know her well.

But now, he can see that the girl in front of him is different from the "Chu Qianhuang" before.

The current Shen Qianhuang's eyes were clear and clear, like a clear spring or clear glass, as if two people with the same appearance had completely different souls hidden inside.

Wuhejialou didn't know what happened to the other party, but from the look in her eyes now, no matter what the process was, the result was always good from now on.

Wuhejialou smiled slightly, and after thinking for a while, he uttered two words: "Yebai. It's called Yebai."

"Ye Bai." Shen Qianhuang muttered softly, savoring the meaning of these two words.

Wuhejialou said meaningfully: "Miss Shen, everything in this life is the cause and effect of the previous life."

This sentence was given to him by Shen Qianchen before. This time, he gave it to Shen Qianhuang.

Shen Qianhuang's body trembled slightly, and he replied with a Buddhist verse: "Good and evil will be repaid, and misfortunes and blessings will be inherited. You are responsible for it, and no one can take it for you." All karma is self-inflicted and can only be borne by the person who caused it. , cannot be replaced by others, and the sins and evil done by "that person" have nothing to do with her.

Shen Qianhuang smiled openly. After so many years, she has long since given up.

At this moment, there was a sound of "babble" coming from behind the door curtain on the other side, and the nurse brought the dressed-up little Jiaojiao over.

Today is Xiao Jiaojiao’s Double Full Moon Wine. Of course she is the well-deserved protagonist. Therefore, everyone’s eyes are focused on her. Wuhejialou, Shen Qianhuang and Shen Yunmu give gifts to Xiao Jiaojiao first. The gift was given.

Soon, another chamberlain came to remind him that there was still a stick of incense left before the banquet started, saying that the guests had already gathered in the Huagai Hall.

The people coming and going in the palace were all beaming with joy. After the birth of Prince Gu Yuan, the palace had not been so lively for a long time, and there was singing and dancing.

The double full moon banquet on this day was grand and solemn. Everyone who attended the banquet gave various congratulatory gifts to the eldest princess, including some rare things from the West, which made people in the capital tsk-tsk-tsk every time they talked about it. Amazing.

In the next month, the capital became more and more lively. Although the emperor's edict had not yet been posted, most people already knew that the emperor planned to select young people from the Imperial College and Juzi to study in Nanhao to improve the Qi, exchanges between the two countries.

This matter has attracted more and more attention, and many nobles and nobles in the clan are also tactfully approaching the Ministry of Rites, Gu Nanjin, and several pavilion elders to inquire about the information.

In their opinion, the emperor sending people to study in Nanhao should have nothing to do with the imperial examination. Maybe those of their own children who are not good at literature or martial arts can also have the opportunity to go to Nanhao to be gilded and then return to Daqi!

In this lively atmosphere, time flew by like a white horse, and summer suddenly entered. On June 20, Gu Jue and representatives of Wuhejialou, Qi and Hao, signed an agreement on the alliance between the two countries. cooperation agreement.

When autumn entered in August, the weather began to turn colder. Wuhagalou, who had stayed in Daqi for nearly three months, finally set a date to leave the capital. The Ministry of Rites originally suggested that Prince Yu Gu Nanjin should send Wuhagalou for a ride. However, Gu Jue rejected the proposal of the Ministry of Rites and insisted on sending it off in person. Not only that, he also insisted on bringing the queen, the prince and the eldest princess with him.

Over the past few years, all the civil and military officials in the court have become accustomed to the fact that their young emperor is different from their father and elder brother in that he is a master of truth.

The courtiers were all upset, thinking that whatever the emperor said was what he said, and it was not a big deal.

He told them that the more troublesome thing was what kind of ceremony should be used to send Emperor Hao away so as not to show that they were all rude.

For this reason, the entire Ministry of Rites was so busy that it kept spinning like a top.

With everyone's eager anticipation, the eighth day of August came, which was the day when Wuhejialou set out to return to Nanhao. On that day, Gu Jue's dragon chariot also left the capital with him.

The common people of Daqi crowded the streets to see off, some wanted to see the grace of Emperor Hao, and some wanted to see the grace of the empress and their little prince. Wherever this mighty car passed, the people all swarmed in and refused for a long time. Leave.

The courtiers of Daqi looked forward to it. At first, they thought that Gu Jue would at most send Wuhejialou out of Jizhou, which could be regarded as an attitude that the two countries were as close as brothers.

Unexpectedly, three days, four days, five days... half a month passed before I knew it.

Gu Jue didn't come back, and Shen Qianchen, Gu Yuan and Xiao Jiaojiao didn't come back to Beijing either, and there was no news.

Zhang Shoufu and other pavilion elders waited and waited and hoped and hoped. They couldn't wait any longer, so they ran to surround Su Mubai and asked him: "Where has the emperor gone?"

Su Mubai didn't show off, and said calmly: "Yunqiu Mountain." Anyway, they couldn't fly to Yunqiu Mountain, thousands of miles away, in a few days.

Shen Qianchen did go to Yunqiu Mountain with Gu Jue. After living two lives, this was her first time coming to Yunqiu Mountain. The farthest place she had been to in her previous life was the Northland.

She actually came!

Shen Qianchen still felt a bit like a dream.

As early as Jiaojiao's double full moon banquet, he asked her: "Yun Ni, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Shen Qianchen's answer was of course one word: "Yes!"

Yes, of course she wanted to. Traveling all over the country with him was once her most desired but unavailable dream in her previous life.

"Do you like it?" Gu Jue's voice as gentle as the spring breeze came from his ears.

Shen Qianchen turned to look at Gu Jue.

The young man wearing a moon-white Taoist robe stood tall and tall, looking at her from the side. The surrounding mountain wind blew his robe loudly, and a corner of the robe fluttered like a butterfly, making him look like the next moment. It's as if he's about to leave in the wind, as handsome and unrestrained as a banished immortal.

It was just the swaddle in his arms that ruined his immortal demeanor. Even his temperament seemed to have softened because of the baby girl in his arms.

Their family of four is currently standing on the top of Yunqiu Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rugged peaks. The green mist is lingering between the mountains. The surrounding clouds seem to be within reach. They are magnificent and have a shocking power.

The surrounding mountain wind blew gusts, and the wind gently caressed Shen Qianchen's hair, intertwining her hair with Gu Jue's hair until they died.

When Shen Qianchen looked at Gu Jue's handsome and picturesque face, the corners of his lips turned up involuntarily, and his pupils were filled with smiles.

She grabbed Gu Jue's free left hand and said calmly: "I like it."

These two words are a double entendre.

Gu Jue naturally knew it, smiled slightly, and intertwined his fingers with hers affectionately.

"My sister and I like it here too!" Gu Yuan couldn't understand what Shen Qianchen said, so he added with a curved smile. No matter how sensible he behaves on weekdays, he is still only five years old. Of course, a five-year-old child likes to go out and play with his parents and sister.

Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue were made to look at each other and smile.

Shen Qianchen held Gu Yuan's small hand tightly with one hand and stroked Gu Jue's big hand with the other. He looked at the infant Jiaojiao and smiled sweetly. The smile was brighter and brighter than the rising sun in the distance.

She is willing to join hands with him and see all the mountains and rivers in the world together!
