The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"Let's make it a deal. Tomorrow at 5 p.m., I'll go to Gu's house to find you."

Emperor Jianping did not give Gu Yanqing any chance to object and made the final decision.

The Qiqiao Festival is one of the most lively festivals in the capital. The most important thing is that it is summer, and you can see many beautiful women dressed coolly on the Qiqiao Festival.

Emperor Jianping was really tired of looking at the concubines in the harem. He felt that the beauties from the people were more attractive.

It is necessary to change the taste occasionally.

In the past two years, Emperor Jianping had to worry about state affairs every day, and he had to drag Gu Yanqing to study new policies together and consolidate his power...

Those days are so hard to recall!

This year is different. Emperor Jianping feels that everything is going smoothly, and the newcomers recommended by Gu Yanqing are more useful than each other.

Therefore, during this year's Qiqiao Festival, Emperor Jianping also planned to make a private visit in disguise to celebrate with the people.

Well, the main purpose is to watch the fun.

Seeing that Emperor Jianping was so interested, Gu Yanqing didn't want to spoil his fun, so he just nodded indifferently: "I obey your order."

"Don't come on, are you feeling like a subject again now?"

Emperor Jianping glanced at Gu Yanqing, then spoke again, "By the way, is Sister Yan Huan home? Let's invite her along; it will be more lively with more people."

Hearing that Emperor Jianping asked about Gu Yanhuan again, Gu Yanqing immediately became alert and his eyes became even colder.

"Your Majesty, I have already made an appointment with a good friend, so I'm afraid I can't come with us."

Gu Yanqing had heard Gu Yanhuan talk about it a few days ago. Yun Yue came to Beijing, and the sisters planned to go out and play with their female workers during the Qiqiao Festival. Of course, Jiang Jiang was among them.

"Well, that's a shame."

After hearing Gu Yanqing's words, Emperor Jianping's face was full of regret.

The emperor and his minister exchanged a few more words, and then Gu Yanqing said goodbye and left the palace. After Gu Yanqing left, a beautiful figure appeared behind Emperor Jianping.

"Scared me."

When Emperor Jianping saw Bai Tan'er suddenly appear, he subconsciously covered his chest.

"Then Your Majesty, did you jump?" Bai Tan'er blinked and looked at Emperor Jianping with a smile.

Emperor Jianping: ...

You silly girl, you are such a talker.

"I'm going to rest. Why did you suddenly come here? I didn't invite anyone to sleep with me today, so don't come and eavesdrop." Emperor Jianping looked at Bai Tan'er with vigilance.

"Who wants to eavesdrop on you?" Bai Tan'er rolled her eyes.

My lord, you are out of date, don't you know it?

As the gossip queen, Bai Tan'er is always fighting on the front line of gossip and scandals. What she cares about most now is the gossip about Gu Yanqing and Jiang Jiang.

As for Emperor Jianping and his women?

Very boring.

…………

Emperor Jianping felt that he was despised by Bai Tan'er, but he had no evidence.

"I'm going to sleep, please leave immediately."

This girl is so annoying.

"I do not."

Bai Tan'er smiled and grabbed Emperor Jianping's arm: "Your Majesty, you are going to leave the palace tomorrow, right? I want to leave the palace too."

"No." Emperor Jianping refused without thinking. This girl has become more and more wild recently and always wants to run out of the palace.

What is outside this palace that attracts her so much?

"Really? Then I'm going to scream."

Bai Tan'er straightened her body and gathered her Qi in her Dantian: "I will tell everyone in the harem that Your Majesty will have to sneak out tomorrow to see the beauty!"

"you……"

Emperor Jianping was angry——

If he could beat her, he would have dragged her over and beaten her eight times a day.

"I'm going to shout, I really am going to shout." Bai Tan'er was still eager to try, so Emperor Jianping had to compromise: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there tomorrow, but... you have to be responsible for protecting my safety and can't run around alone."

"No problem. Protecting Your Majesty is my lifelong mission."

Bai Tan'er was amused, and immediately released Emperor Jianping's arm, smoothing out the wrinkles on his dragon robe. "It's getting late, Your Majesty, go to bed."

After saying that, Bai Tan'er's figure flashed and disappeared into Emperor Jianping's palace like the wind.

"Silly girl."

Emperor Jianping shook his head. She always thought she could easily control him, but she didn't know...

Every time, Emperor Jianping just gave in to her on purpose.

There are very few people in this world who can make Emperor Jianping let down his guard and truly befriend him.

Bai Tan'er is one of them.

In Emperor Jianping's memory, Bai Tan'er will always be that aggressive little girl——

"Who beat you up? Tell me, I, Bai Tan'er, will support you!"

At that time, he was still the unpopular Third Prince and was often bullied by other princes. Every time, Bai Tan'er stood up for him.

Later, they became good friends.

after that……

He became the emperor, and Bai Tan'er became his most capable royal guard.

There is a very delicate balance in the relationship between people.

Just like Emperor Jianping and Gu Yanqing, and Emperor Jianping and Bai Tan'er.

He was willing to maintain this kind of monarch-subject relationship with them, because in Emperor Jianping's heart, this kind of relationship was the most reliable and the easiest for him to control.

…………

Gu Mansion.

After Gu Yanqing got home, she changed her clothes and took a shower alone. In the misty water vapor, Gu Yanqing squinted her eyes gently, but her mind was still thinking about something -

Jiang Jiang's birthday is the ninth day of the seventh lunar month.

This is what she wrote in her diary these past few days. The Jiang family has already started preparing her coming-of-age banquet in Liuquan Lane. In Qingyun Country, only the nobles would split their children's coming-of-age banquet and birthday banquet into two, and they would even hold them in a grand manner. As for ordinary families, most would just hold one on the same day.

The Jiang family was not aristocratic family, but they were a scholarly family after all, and Jiang Chaosheng was an official in the court, so the Jiang family also invited many relatives and friends to the coming-of-age banquet for Jiang Jiang.

That day, Gu Yanhuan and Huang E'er, and even Zhang Fugui and Li Ping'an, might all go.

Even Jiang Jiang invited Gu Yanqing——

"A Chong, will you go to my birthday?"

Gu Yanqing remembered the days before when Jiang Jiang looked at him expectantly.

"Will do."

That day, he agreed to her without hesitation.

**

The candlelight in the bedroom flickered. Gu Yanqing changed into a middle-length dress after bathing. His black hair was spread over his shoulders. He sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand. In his hand, he found the "Geography of Kyoto"——

[Jianping Year 3, July 6th, cloudy]

The Qiqiao Festival is almost here. Waiting for the plot is a bit boring, but tomorrow should be lively, right? Tomorrow night, all the major markets in the capital will have bustling night markets. If nothing goes wrong, Liu Cheng'an and Shen Guiyuan will both be there. Oh, and there's also Fu Qingliu, the legendary capital's most talented scholar. It's strange, but I haven't heard anything about Fu Qingliu since I arrived in Beijing. Is there... a barrier between businessmen and intellectuals? Perhaps he's been studying at home, or maybe he's busy attending various poetry and literary gatherings?

Fu Qingliu.

When Gu Yanqing saw this name, he was slightly stunned.

The most talented man in the capital?

Gu Yanqing had heard of the Fu family. It was indeed a well-known scholarly family and a family of great Confucian scholars in the capital.

but……

But he had never heard of the name of Fu Qingliu, the most talented man in the capital.
