Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 557
At the gate of the hall, warriors are like forests, and swords and halberds are like frost.

Although it was daytime, the light in the hall was a little dim because of the rain outside.

More than a dozen copper palace lanterns were lit, reflecting off the black-and-gold-patterned robe, like the sun in winter, dazzling but cold.

The guards who waited close to him were a little bit numb.

His Highness was called into the palace last night, and he came back after the third watch. After that, he didn't sleep much, and spent the whole time reviewing official documents in the study.

Don't know what happened.

Yuan Ce and Yang Yi guarded the left and right, muttered inwardly, and turned their eyes to the officials below.

Dressed in purple and crowned with gold, her face is like jade.

It is the uncle of His Highness the Crown Prince, Gu Yong.

As soon as he touched the booklet in his hand, his pupils burst open.

The bright yellow brocade is used as the base, the golden dragon pattern is bordered, and the two characters of deep black are clearly visible-imperial decree!
After the two were frightened, they were at a loss: what is this Gu Yong doing sitting here after receiving the imperial decree?
Gu Yong himself didn't know why he was sitting here.

Early in the morning, he was urgently called into the East Palace, stepped into the hall, gathered up his sleeves and put on his clothes before saluting, when suddenly something was dropped from the desk.

Gu Yong picked it up suspiciously, and didn't rush to open it, but raised his eyes to look at the book case above.

A tall stack of official documents is neatly stacked, pens, inks, papers and inkstones are quietly placed at hand, a roll of maps is spread out flat, palms are gently pressed on it, fingertips are slightly bent, and then up, it is A face as cold as frost.

What's wrong with this?
Gu Yong's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously reviewed what he had done in the past half month, making sure that he hadn't done anything to anger the prince.

It's not a day or two that the nephew and uncle are indifferent, and Gu Yong is also used to the prince throwing faces at him anytime and anywhere.

Besides, it's just a temper tantrum, what can't you bear?
Gu Yong has experienced ups and downs in life, and his whole temperament has been honed to be as stable as an iron weight.

Holding the unopened imperial decree, he knelt by the side of the book case, posing a normal posture for discussing matters.

After a long time, until he knelt down until his thighs felt a little numb, the voice of His Royal Highness the Prince was heard from above.

The tone was alienated and calm, Gu Yong was used to it.

But, what he said, even though he has always been calm, he swayed and almost fell to the ground after seeing strong winds and waves.

"Your Majesty has drawn up an imperial edict to select Ling Ai as the side concubine of the Eastern Palace. I wonder what Master Gu thinks?"

edict?Concubine?
For a moment, his whole mind was buzzing, like millions of bees flying.

Gu Yong didn't dare to confirm it for a while, until he asked another question with a half-smile: "Huh? Are you scared to death by this good news? My good uncle?"

"I am frightened!"

Gu Yong came back to his senses, he could hear the bad tone in the tone, he even had a faint suspicion, he hurriedly folded his sleeves and bowed his head, explaining: "The minister has been busy with the payment of the treasury for more than half a month, and never asked about His Majesty's family affairs, let alone I don't know why His Majesty drafted this edict suddenly..."

Li Xuanye tapped his fingers on the table before sitting in the case: "Yes, this is His Majesty's family business, and it is His Majesty's will!" He sneered, "You picked yourself up completely!"

"Your Highness, I really don't know!" Gu Yong raised his head, his eyes were indifferent, "I only know the duty of being a courtier, how dare you spy on one or two of the lord's family affairs?"

Li Xuanye stared at him coldly, as if trying to see through his heart.

Gu Yong looked at him calmly.

After a while, Li Xuanye laughed and said, "I have the imperial edict in my hands, and you still say you don't know?"

Gu Yong subconsciously looked into his arms.

Bright yellow brocade, golden embroidered dragon, holding it in the palm of your hand is like holding a hot potato.

He raised his upper arm, stretched it forward, and presented the potato to the prince again.

Although the imperial edict was given to him by the emperor, but the crown prince didn't like it, he shouldn't have it.

As the most aggrieved uncle in history, Gu Yong knows how to hide his front.

The crown prince was reluctant to let his daughter become a side concubine, as if he had suffered a great crime...

Contact with the recent Zhao family's various...

Turning his mind, Gu Yong immediately judged the problem——

"Your Majesty gave the marriage suddenly, but to check and balance the Zhao family?" He raised his eyes and asked openly.

Li Xuanye rolled up the imperial decree and put it on the side of the desk, without saying a word.

Not to refute is to acquiesce.

Gu Yong moved his body, picked up the imperial decree again, unfolded it quickly, took a quick look, and after seeing the content clearly, he was sure that the emperor really had this idea, and he calmed down a lot.

Isn't it just a daughter, if Zhao Ziyi can give up, so can he!
The side concubine is the side concubine, if Zhao Ziyi can manage it, so can he!
Concentrating slightly, he put away the imperial decree and put it on the case again.

Then he cupped his hands and said in a warm voice: "Your Highness, I have a plan, which can not only relieve your majesty's worries, but also relieve your majesty's depression."

Li Xuanye frowned: "Huh?"

Gu Yong laughed, looked at the sky, and said: "The rain is over and the sky is clear, may your Highness play a game of chess with the minister?"

……

Here Zhao Xiwei ate his lunch and rested on the soft couch.

I don't know if it's because the courtyard is too quiet or because it's spring, these days she always gets sleepy easily.

My heart woke up.

Although she doesn't think it will happen so soon, but... who can say for sure?
It seems that it is better to ask a doctor to check the pulse.

Zhao Xiwei then ordered Jinxiu: "I think the new boxes of rouge from the warehouse are pretty good. Send someone to Ms. Qiao and Ms. Cui, and send a box each."

"Yes."

"If you meet Yuan Ce, tell him and ask him to invite Dr. Gu to come."

Yin Bao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, do you also feel that you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Xiwei opened his eyes slightly, and said angrily, "You can't just say such nonsense."

Jin Xiu smiled and said: "Isn't this servant looking forward to it for you? If it is true, it would be great!"

"It doesn't look like it to me." Yin Bao tilted his head and looked around, "Miss, His Royal Highness is not here, so you didn't sleep well at night!"

Jinxiu tapped her forehead angrily: "What are you looking at, and you have never been pregnant, what can you tell?"

Yin Bao gritted his teeth and made a grimace: "Yeah, I've never been pregnant, but you?"

"You damn girl! See if I don't squeeze your mouth!"

"Hey, I just said it casually, why are you blushing!"

The two got into a mess.

"Okay, stop making trouble!" Suyu lifted the curtain and walked in, and the two of them stopped playing.

Seeing that Zhao Xiwei fell asleep again, Suyu took a blanket and covered her body: "It's only past noon, the princess should sleep less, and don't overeat."

Zhao Xiwei couldn't get any energy up and said lazily, "What can I do if I don't sleep, I can't go out..."

Suyu said "Hey", and suggested: "This year the spring blooms early, and the flowers in the garden are blooming very well. Why don't you go to the garden?"

Unexpectedly, when I went out, I met someone, which ruined the good mood of the day.
