v2.Chapter 213 (1/2)
The next day was the first day of the lunar new year. Early in the morning, Gu Hou's house handed out the invitation, and soon there was a response from the prime minister's house.
Gu Shubai and Yu Fu went to the prime minister's residence together, while Gu huaijiang wanted to enter the palace. Two sedan chairs parted ways in front of the residence.
Gu huaijiang was waiting outside the imperial study. For a long time, Duke Chi came out slowly.
”Oh, marquis Gu, unfortunately, today is the day for the imperial clan to meet your majesty. Your majesty is talking to Uncle Huang and even uncle Huang. Please wait outside
Gu huaijiang nodded, ”OK, I'll wait here.”
Duke Chi guessed his face and said, ”I dare to ask the Marquis, what are you doing here today? Maybe only slaves can do their best in it
Gu huaijiang looked at him and said with a smile, ”if Duke Chi is willing to help us, we will be happy. To be honest, it was for the palace banquet last night. ”
As soon as Duke Chi heard about the palace banquet yesterday, he immediately began to smile flatteringly, ”has the Lord finally figured it out? Come on, you little bastards, the Marquis is waiting here. Don't you know how to bring a stool? ”
The second half of the sentence was said by the people in the small palace at the bottom. Immediately someone moved a chair. Gu huaijiang only looked and did not sit down.
”Duke Chi is more respectful,” Lord Hou has finally figured it out. I can breathe a sigh of relief! You don't know how much your majesty likes Princess Zhenjiang. She is the queen of Zhenjiang and refuses to be the princess. Your majesty made a big fire last night! If he knows that you are here today, how can he be in the mood to see any royal family? ”
”Marquis, sit down first, and I'll go in and report to your majesty!”
Gu huaijiang said, ”Mr. Chi, wait a minute.”
”Ah?”
Chi Gonggong is so happy that he is about to go in and report to Ning Chengzhi. He stops him with a confused face.
Gu huaijiang looked at him and didn't speak, but he was told that he was wrong.
Duke Chi, who is the head of the palace's internal prison, looks at him inconceivably. Does Marquis Gu, who is very popular and seriously ill, really dare to disobey His Majesty?
As long as he let go, he would be the father-in-law of the country in the future, much closer than the in laws of the brother-in-law of the Prime Minister Yin. From then on, he would never have to worry about being suppressed.
Why can't he think of it?
Duke Chi looked at him helplessly and said, ”since the Marquis is is not willing to sit down, take the chair away, so that the clan members will not talk about it.”
After that, he brushed his sleeve and went into the imperial study.
The eunuchs at the bottom look at me and I'll look at you. One of them approached Gu huaijiang and said in a low voice, ”Marquis, I'm really sorry. We slaves can only do what we're told.”
Gu huaijiang said in a low voice: ”no harm.”
He knew that he came to offend Longyan, not to please him. He didn't plan to get preferential treatment here from the beginning.
Sure enough, after the little eunuchs took down their chairs, the Royal clans were present for a long time.
In previous years, the Convention of the audience was less than half an hour. Gu huaijiang stood outside the door for an hour, but there was no movement inside.
He didn't move, his eyes were watching his nose, his heart was watching his nose, and his face was calm.
Several young eunuchs stood in the corridor and gave him a thumbs up in their hearts. They thought that the people with their solid military achievements are not the same today.
It has its own spirit.
Until a quarter of an hour later, there was a faint sound of footsteps inside, and a group of royal families came out with their hearts in mind.
Seeing Gu huaijiang waiting outside the door, they suddenly realized.
No wonder your majesty has so much to say today. Obviously, he has nothing to say. He wants to keep them from going. It's a deliberate embarrassment to Marquis Gu
Several clansmen look embarrassed, want to come up and Gu huaijiang say a few words of comfort, but also afraid of the Royal study outsider many eyes, spread to Ning Chengzhi ears, had to say hello and leave.
Only old uncle Huang and father and son Ning Xuan came towards him.
”Lord Gu.”
”Uncle Huang.”
Both sides saluted, the old uncle said: ”Marquis Gu came very early, but your majesty is angry, why don't you wait to talk about it in the future?”
Gu huaijiang was a little surprised. Then he said with a smile, ”Uncle Huang knows what I'm thinking and what I'm here to do. Naturally, you also know that sooner or later you have to tell me about it. Your Majesty's anger will come out sooner or later.”
Uncle Huang sighed, ”although I'm a royal family member, I have no real power. Your majesty respectfully calls me uncle Huang. If you don't respect me, I'm just a bad old man. Last night I really have more than my heart, but less than my strength. ”
Ning Xuan frowned and stepped forward to hold him.
Duke Chi suddenly came out of the hall, ”Marquis Gu, your majesty sent you in, please.”
Gu huaijiang bows his hands to old uncle Huang and goes into the imperial study behind him. Old uncle Huang looks at his back and sighs again.
”Father...”
Ning Xuan tries to comfort him, words to the mouth are dry empty words, simply don't say.Like his father, he despised Ning Chengzhi's practice of robbing Yu Fu for the post, and resented Gu huaijiang's loyalty but being suppressed.
But they are just ordinary Royal clansmen. They have no power and can do nothing.
”Father, let's go back first...”
The sedan chair of marquis Gu stopped outside the prime minister's residence, and Yin Shuo, wearing a dark red robe, personally welcomed Yu Fu and Gu Shubai outside the door.
He looked high spirited and in a good mood. ”You two are rare guests. This is the first time I have come to the prime minister's residence. My prime minister's residence is full of splendor.”
Gu Shubai said with a faint smile, ”how dare you welcome the prime minister in person? Prime Minister Yin is so polite.”
Yan Shuo said back with his words: ”where, I'm busy saying that Shizi is a young general who cares about his family. Just say that the royal highness of the princess is a ruler for me.
Yu Fu listened to their polite words, and waved his hand impatiently, ”I'm not here to talk about the etiquette of kings and ministers, and I know that Prime Minister Yin didn't regard the princess as the king, did I?”
Yin Shuo heard that she was mocking her treatment of Princess Danyang, and her smile did not change. ”The eldest princess joked, and she had to be separated as the eldest princess. How can the one in my house compare with you? ”
Voice just fell, a tall figure quietly separated him two people, Gu Shubai block between them.
To tease his fiancee in front of him, Yan Shuo is really promising.
The two men's eyes are on each other.
Yu Fu pulled his sleeve behind him.
This is the habit she left when she was a child. At that time, she was too young and short to reach Gu Shubai. Now she is 14 years old, and she is as tall as his shoulder, but she can't get rid of this habit.
When Yin Shuo saw her intimate little action, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
