The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 18 Seeing Prince Xian for the first time, helping each other and cherishing each other

With the support of Guozijian and Dali Temple, Bozhong Hall naturally sparked a heated discussion among scholars and upper-class circles in the capital.

Duan Yong and Fu You urged the master copyists to rush to work all day long, but with little success.Gu Zizhan is not in a hurry, she knows very well that proper hunger marketing is also a very good sales method.Under her persuasion, Fu You also calmed down. After all, word of mouth is the most important thing.Simply, post a notice directly at the door, and sell it in a limited amount every day. If you don't buy it, you have to come back tomorrow.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year, and Bozhongtang held another promotional activity, releasing ten sets of Chu Lan's copies at one time. The brocade bag was made of precious silk and satin unique to Jiangnan, and the pattern embroidery technique on it was rare and exquisite.Five of them are sold as a whole at a price of 20 taels, and are only sold to old customers with more than [-] points, and they are first-come, first-served.The remaining five sets are sold separately, and each brocade bag is priced at five taels, which can be exchanged for half of it with points.

For a while, the threshold of Bozhongtang was about to be broken.

As the end of the year approached, Chu Lan also became busy.

There are a lot of government affairs in the court, and many things have to be arranged in advance, and there are constant banquets in the palace. Whether it is Emperor Tianshun, the prince or the empress, they are all very busy.In order to ensure that the health of the family of three can bear it, the medical officers of the Imperial Hospital not only have to wait around the clock, but from time to time, according to the physical conditions of the three, they have to prescribe some prescriptions for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vitality and adjust some medicinal diets.

Because of this, Chu Lan stayed in the palace all day and was not allowed to go home for two days.

On this day, she was called by the queen. Besides the routine pulse diagnosis, she was also forced to pour out a lot of bitterness.In the past few days, there have been a lot of things to do, but there are many female relatives of powerful families who come to the palace during the New Year's Eve to ask the queen to help with the marriage, which makes her have a headache.

Chu Lan only smiled lightly, and said that love is deep and human.

The queen looked at her and thought about it.

After coming out of the Queen's Palace, Chu Lan went to the East Palace again.

It was not until evening that Chu Lan came out of the palace.

She sat in the carriage with her eyes closed and rested, still thinking about what happened in the palace earlier in her mind.The queen is her aunt, and she has a deep relationship with her mother, so she said the phrase "deep love" in front of the queen, in order to arouse the queen's love for the house.

At this moment, a noise of people outside the car was suddenly heard, and it seemed that someone had a dispute.Seeing Wei Wei's expression, he knew that she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, just as he lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked Bai Er to leave quickly, he heard a "boom", and something slammed into the wheel hub of the carriage.

Bai Er stopped the horse suddenly, Chu Lan and Jian Wei were both shaken and almost fell.

Jian Wei immediately grimaced, opened the curtain of the car and stepped out.

Chu Lan frowned slowly in the carriage.

Soon, the commotion outside subsided, and Jian Wei also came back.

As soon as he came in, he couldn't help laughing mockingly, "Miss, it's the Wang family's useless people who are here to bully others again."

Chu Lan was a little surprised, "Duke Dingguo's Mansion? What are they doing in the west of the city?"

Jian Wei replied: "It seems that he has taken a fancy to this family's shop and found some excuses. He must say that the house deed and land deed are fake, and he wants to drive him out." He sneered and scolded: "Bah! s things."

Chu Lan didn't say any more after hearing the words, but frowned even more tightly.Seeing this, Jian Wei also stopped talking, not daring to disturb her.

The carriage drove away slowly, and suddenly, Chu Lan stopped the car, and a voice came from the car, "Bai Er, go and have a look in a while, if the family is really wronged, you can resettle them first."

Bai Er hastily agreed.

**********

On the 29th day of the new year, Gu Zizhan accompanied King Yu into the palace to attend the banquet hosted by Emperor Tianshun.

Since this is a family banquet, only the royal family members in Beijing will participate.Gu Zizhan met the prince for the first time after traveling through time.

The crown prince's name is Gu Yuan, and he is the eldest son of Emperor Tianshun and his only son.

As the emperor, Emperor Tianshun had no reason to wait for his courtiers, so the prince replaced his father and came out to greet the clansmen first.He has passed away, and he has been carefully cultivated by Emperor Tianshun since he was a child. He has always been gentle and generous, courteous and corporal, and in addition to his excellent knowledge, he is also well-known in the government and the public.The young grandson of the emperor followed beside the prince, and his every move was very generous and decent.

Seeing Gu Zizhan standing behind King Yu and saluting upright now, the crown prince was obviously in a good mood, and after receiving the ceremony, he left Gu Zizhan to talk to her.The grandson also bowed to Gu Zizhan obediently, and softly called: "Uncle Six".

Gu Zizhan has experienced a lot now, and he is no longer nervous as he was when he first traveled through time.Standing opposite the prince, talking freely, both of them felt a little bit of sympathy for each other.

Gu Zizhan already knew that King Yu had ambitions, but now that he saw that the crown prince was virtuous and benevolent, and the grandson was well-behaved, he felt even more that his vague and careful plans were about to fail.Even if the power is in the hands of the government, so what, as long as the emperor and the prince are still there, it is a foolish dream to seek to usurp the throne based on the mysterious and mysterious theory of the stars.

Thinking of this, Gu Zizhan also looked at the fate of Ziwei star that he had been brooding about a lot.

After talking with the prince, Gu Zizhan returned to his seat.

King Yu sat at the head of Tianshun Emperor's case, and Gu Zizhan naturally sat behind him.

Many people in the hall came one after another, except King Yu, the other two kings were far away in their respective fiefdoms, only the princes who stayed in the capital brought their families to the banquet.

Gu Zizhan saw that many clans brought their female relatives, and he was a little puzzled, why didn't King Yu bring Princess Yu with him?Concubine Yu is the first daughter of the former Empress Dowager's mother's family, Duke Ding, and now Duke Ding is the younger brother of Concubine Yu, logically speaking, she should be brought along on such an occasion.Besides, isn't the Duke of Dingguo's mansion always following the example of King Yu?Seeing how King Yu and Ding Guogong Wang Yunhe were talking and laughing happily, it didn't seem that there was any suspicion.

Gu Zizhan hid behind the crowd, with a cute and sensible face, but his mind was far away.

Duke Ding is here, and Duke An, the father of the current empress, should be coming soon, right?

Sure enough, after a while, there was some noise outside.The crown prince standing on the top took a look from a distance, then hurriedly walked over to greet the visitor.

Seeing the prince like this, everyone stood up to greet him.

Then he saw the prince smiling and supporting an old man with white hair, and walked into the hall slowly.The person who came was the prince's grandfather, An Guogong Fu Huai.

Gu Zizhan saw at a glance that the one following An Guogong was a cold and beautiful woman who looked like a fairy.With just one glance, she couldn't look away.

Chu Lan naturally saw her too.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and there was joy in their hearts.It's just that the expression on the face needs to be restrained, so that others can't see the clue.

The prince led An Guogong to the other side of Tianshun Emperor's case, and took the first place.Afterwards, the prince returned to his seat and sat down, and everyone knew that everyone was present.They all cleaned up their appearance and waited for the arrival of Emperor Tianshun.

Not long after, Emperor Tianshun led the queen into the hall together.

When the emperor came, naturally the feast would begin.Ceremony and music played, silk and bamboo gradually played, and everyone saluted and congratulated the emperor in unison.

Emperor Tianshun took the lead to drink three cups, and everyone sat down again.The drum master played brisk Yan music, the lights on the hall were brightly lit, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.Even if this is the emperor's family banquet, naturally there is no need to deliberately submit, Emperor Tianshun was also happy to see the clan's harmony, so he took the lead in talking and laughing.

Gu Zizhan followed behind King Yu, picked up the wine cup, and went to toast the emperor and the prince.

Emperor Tianshun was very happy, and he joked a few words with King Yu, both of them laughed out loud, brothers of the same mother had very similar eyebrows and eyes.

The prince on the side also chatted with Gu Zizhan, asked how she was doing in Dali Temple, and said that if there was any difficulty, he could come to his elder brother for help.The queen listened, and couldn't help but joke, bluntly saying that the prince treated Gu Zizhan like a child.

Emperor Tianshun heard them talking, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Ache is no longer a child, he is eighteen now, it's time to see his wife."

Turning her head to look at King Yu, she asked him, "Which girl have you settled for Ah Che?"

Although King Yu knew Gu Zizhan's identity, he had his own plans and wanted to use Gu Zizhan's marriage to draw him power.Seeing Emperor Tianshun mentioning it now, he was worried that he would point out that the family marriage would ruin his own important matter on a whim, so he quickly declined: "Ache is still young, and he was raised outside since childhood. He has a very wild temper. Therefore, my brother is not in a hurry. She grinds her temper first, so as not to harm other girls."

Emperor Tianshun smiled and shook his head: "I look at Ah Che very well. He is free and easy, humble and polite, and his appearance is also first-class. At first glance, he is a good son of my Gu family. Well, he has a benevolent character. She is somewhat similar to the prince. If you think she is unstable, you might as well find a quieter girl, who just happens to be restrained." After that, without waiting for King Yu to speak, he went to ask the queen, "Does the queen know any noble daughter who can be with her?" Does my Ah Che match?"

Hearing this, King Yu and Gu Zizhan were both shocked.King Yu didn't need to say what he was worried about, but Gu Zizhan raised his heart, fearing that the two couples opposite would mess up her love story.

Just as the queen was about to speak, she saw Duke An leading Fu Song, Fu Peng and Chu Lan walking over in the distance.Immediately, several people stood up to greet each other, Emperor Tianshun also smiled and nodded at An Guogong and his party.

When King Yu saw someone coming, he just changed the topic, and he felt relieved.Unexpectedly, when the Queen saw Chu Lan, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and smiled gently at Emperor Tianshun, "Your Majesty asked the concubine before which noble daughter could be worthy of Ah Che, but now the concubine has an excellent candidate." .Here, no, the beauty is right in front of my eyes." Her slender fingers lightly covered the corners of her lips, and she looked at Chu Lan with a smile in her eyes.

Emperor Tianshun followed her gaze to look at Chu Lan, and immediately laughed.He couldn't help clapping his palms, and said to King Yu: "Fifth Emperor Brother, I look at this girl from the Chu family very well! Are you satisfied?"

King Yu's face was about to turn red, but he couldn't say anything in front of the empress, and since An Guogong was in front of him, he couldn't criticize Chu Lan's reputation as "Kefu" in front of his elders.It's not that he doesn't have family options in his heart, but he didn't want to reveal this relationship in front of Emperor Tianshun before, so he didn't mention it. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that he is deceiving the emperor.

However, Duke An was a little deaf, he didn't know how many people had talked earlier, he just thought that King Yu was dissatisfied with his granddaughter, so he frowned and looked at him with some displeasure.

King Yu couldn't get off the tiger, and he was so annoyed that he wished he could pick up the melons and fruits on the royal case and stuff them into Emperor Tianshun's mouth.Gu Zizhan was on the sidelines, but he was overjoyed.If she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, she might not be able to hide her smile.

At that moment, King Yu could only suppress the anger in his heart, forced a smile and said, "Teacher Chu's concubine daughter is naturally very good. It's just that the matter of getting married depends on the fate of the two of them. Ah Che himself The child is weak, and he is not compatible with the Taifu's concubine, and this is also the reason why my younger brother retired from the marriage with the Taifu."

Hearing what he said, Emperor Tianshun recalled the old affairs of the two families, and he also showed some hesitation on his face.Gu Zizhan felt anxious and couldn't help but take half a step forward.

Chu Lan hurriedly looked at her and gave her a calm look.

At this time, I saw the prince leading a rather rich old man over.

Gu Zizhan knew the person who came, it was His Royal Highness Fu Wang.King Fu is the uncle of Emperor Tianshun and King Yu. He was a hero who fought with the Tai/ancestor in the world. Because he didn't like power and was used to being free and easy, he withdrew from the court early.Now that I am getting older, I am obsessed with antique calligraphy and paintings all day long, and I feel uncomfortable playing with birds and walking dogs.

As soon as he came, he inserted into the topic of several people.

Upon hearing the reason given by King Yu, King Fu frowned.He drank a little too much just now, and now he stood in the middle with a red face and a big belly, and began to teach King Yu a lesson: "Ah Quan, what are you talking about? But it depends on the word of fortune. I see Xiao Che is alive and kicking now, and this fortune must have changed a long time ago. If you have to worry about any incompatibility, go to the temple to burn a few more sticks of incense, and then change your house. Those decorations can fit even if they don’t fit! It’s a match made in heaven! Besides, this girl from the Chu family is very skilled in medicine. You said that Xiao Che is weak, so it’s not right for a girl from the Chu family to take care of her, it’s cheap for both sides!”

With King Fu's words, Emperor Tianshun became happy again.Immediately, he pulled Yu Wang and An Guogong to talk about this marriage.

This time, Mr. An heard clearly, he twitched his beard and sighed: "It's not bad for the old minister to look at Gu Shizi, but this important matter of marriage needs to be decided by his parents. When the old minister returns, he will ask Fu Song to talk to Mrs. Chu, see He is reluctant to marry his daughter."

What he said was also reasonable, so it was difficult for everyone to say more.Emperor Tianshun said that he would talk to Taifu Chu in person tomorrow, and his words were quite intended to match.Everyone went back separately, and after a while they started drinking in twos and threes.

Gu Zizhan put his heart down halfway, looked at King Yu's gloomy face, and understood that he would inevitably be reprimanded.She wouldn't believe what happened today if Chu Lan didn't work behind her back. Now that Chu Lan has paved the way for her, she will never hold back Ah Lan.

Unconsciously, joy rose in my heart.The Alan she likes, the one who can facilitate all this, is really a very reliable and powerful person.
