The general and I form a pair

While Ah Qing was watching the excitement, Gu Yan peeled a small plate of melon seeds for him.Gu Ting was so startled that he was speechless for a while. Is this the cold major general of his family?

Naturally, this move could not hide from those who had been staring at them, only to hear the whole palace gasp one after another, and all the veterans covered their faces with their sleeves again, unwilling to look directly.

Ah Qing casually threw a melon seed into her mouth, and quietly gave Gu Yan a thumbs up: "Major General, your acting skills have improved."

"Ah."

"Hahaha, as soon as Xiao Wang came to Shangjing, he heard about the major general's affair. Now that I see you here, it really matches well. I really envy Xiao Wang." Yelu, the young prince of Beicang Kingdom, laughed.

"Hmph, it's just something that can't be put on the table." Su Da, the guard of Princess Nantang, mocked.

"I think back then, the young general Xue Qing had a shocking appearance, but in the end he was kicked out by the Gu family and ended up in such a tragic end. Now that he has entered the house, it seems that in the hearts of Major General Gu, this young general is better than Xue Qing."

"Su Da, shut up, you are not allowed to insult Brother Ah Qing." Ji Fei yelled.

"Hmph, I'm defeated."

"You, you wait, for the martial arts competition in Shangqing Garden, I will beat you to the ground and make amends to Brother Ah Qing."

"A Fei, Hugh is so rude, back down soon." Ji Kang said seriously.

Ji Fei was afraid that Ji Kang would stare at him, and now he lost his arrogance, flattened his mouth, and retreated obediently.

Ah Qing looked at it for a while, and then suddenly realized that in Ji Fei's heart, as long as he compared that young general Xue Qing with himself, it would be an insult to him.

He couldn't help touching his face: "Am I really that bad?"

"You're fine."

Ah Qing didn't expect Gu Yan to answer.

"Major General, the two of us whispered and others couldn't hear you. You don't have to act now, it will cause me to misunderstand."

"Misunderstanding what?"

"I misunderstood you... I misunderstood that you fell in love with me. After all, I am beautiful and beautiful."

Gu Yan smiled lightly: "Who said it was a misunderstanding."

"what?"

Before Gu Yan could continue to explain, Ah Qing muttered to himself and went to eat melon seeds.

It's just that the two resentful gazes from the first place made him feel a little overwhelmed.

You don't need to look, you know it's Princess Jiayi, and Princess Heyang who looks like she's seen a ghost when she sees her.

Of course, there are still a few probing lines of sight. Judging by the seating order, they are the two noble concubines Dexian, and then there is Concubine Shu, the birth mother of the seventh prince Li Mu.

There is also a sight that seems to be absent, which comes from the princess of Nantang.

This princess is really interesting, she didn't say a word, but let the guards show off.Even as soon as they came, there was a big fight between the young masters of Ruyilou and Ji and Ming.It's not like a marriage, but it's like making trouble.

It is said that Princess Qinghe has admired General Gu for many years and misses him like crazy.But how do you look at it, the expression in this look is not in place.

Before Ah Qing could investigate anything, he heard a shout.All the ministers knelt down to worship.

It was Emperor Liang and his queen who had arrived.

Ah Qing quietly raised her eyes, and saw a bright yellow streak passing by in front of her eyes, and the imposing manner of Mount Tai pressing down on her head also flashed past her head.

Really imperial majesty.

Emperor Chengkang was over fifty years old, so he could be regarded as a sage monarch.Under his rule, Daliang became more and more prosperous, and the people lived in harmony.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

Sitting next to Emperor Chengkang was the queen.After all, the lord of the six palaces, with a graceful and graceful body, is a worthy concubine, but compared to the empress, she is still slightly inferior.

Emperor Chengkang has a deep affection for the empress and his wife. Even if the crown prince is abolished, this position is still stable and no one can shake it.

In this way, it also gave a signal to a group of veterans.

The abolished prince may not have reached a dead end yet.

Li Su was imprisoned in Zhiyun Palace, it was inconvenient for him to show up at such a grand occasion today.

According to the usual practice, the minister of the Ministry of Rituals will play a performance, and then Emperor Chengkang will say something on the scene, and the envoys from various countries will express their hearts and present congratulatory gifts.

As for some state affairs, after the banquet, officials from various ministries had detailed talks with envoys from various countries.

Halfway through the banquet, the atmosphere in the hall became warmer.

Those who can sit here are not the elites of various countries.Everyone has known for a long time that the purpose of Princess Qinghe's trip is to make peace with General Gu, and the only thing left to do is to pierce the window paper.

But now the major general is openly bringing the male favorite into the hall, isn't this stepping on Princess Qinghe's face.

"Here, although this is the first time for Xiao Wang to come to the Central Plains, he also knows that for such a grand event, court officials can bring their family members to celebrate the emperor's birthday. It's just... the noble son next to General Gu..." King Gao of Shawo Joe smiled inexplicably, but hesitated to speak.

Some people are willing to be the first bird, and everyone is naturally happy to agree, especially those from the second and sixth princes in the court, who can't wait to see the face of the Gu family disgraced.

When Jiayi saw Ah Qing, she had expected such an incident, and sure enough, this evildoer came to discredit their General's Mansion on purpose.

Just when Jiayi was about to say something to get the matter over with, Gu Yan spoke.

"Who said this son is not a family member of this general?"

After the words fell, the entire Yilan Hall was as quiet as a chicken.

Even Ah Qing was stunned on the spot.After a while, he came back to his senses and tugged at Gu Yan's sleeves: "Major General, didn't you say that even if you have a title, you can't do it, why, how come you become a family member."

"One moment and another moment, you just take it with peace of mind."

Ah Qing had already felt the angry eyes projected by Gu Ting beside him, and he hid behind Gu Yan.

"It's over, I'm being targeted by this idiot again."

"This, this, this is simply ridiculous, how can a man, how can..." The minister couldn't sit still.

"What about men? If two people are in love with each other, how can we talk about men and women?"

"Hahaha, what the Major General said is right, Xiao Wang admires the Major General's courage!" Yelu smiled and looked at the young censor of Bei Cang Kingdom, the meaning was self-evident.

Ah Qing shrank his head behind Gu Yan, like a quail.

This person doesn't act according to the script, how can he pick it up, is it possible that he really becomes his family member?

Ah Qing took a sneak peek at Cheng Kangdi, but he couldn't see any emotion from him, as if the debate in the palace was just a farce to him.

As long as he makes an imperial decree, whether Gu Yan is willing or not, he has to marry Princess Qinghe.And as for Gu Yan brushing Princess Qinghe's face, with Daliang being such a powerful country, he only needs to say a little bit of good things and get more compensation, and Southern Tang will definitely not pursue anything.

If that's the case, wouldn't the play they played be a joke.

"I said, Major General, I'm afraid your plan will fail. Your Majesty won't take it at all."

"Until the last moment, the outcome is yet to be known."

"This princess was originally interested in the young general, but now seeing that the young general has a strong relationship with this young master, it's not easy to win the love." Princess Qinghe said suddenly, causing another commotion.

To all the envoys, this is just a romantic affair.But Princess Qinghe's refusal was a game of interests for the Daliang court.

Originally, it was widely rumored that Princess Qinghe wanted to betroth Princess Qinghe to General Gu. Once Gu's family got the support of Southern Tang, relying on the relationship between the eldest princess and the queen, it is not impossible for the deposed prince to make a comeback.Therefore, the faction of the second prince and the sixth prince joined forces to exaggerate Gu Yan's doting on men, and everyone knew it.

Now that Princess Qinghe has withdrawn, their goal has been achieved, and the flames of war have naturally shifted to the factions of the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince.

Of course, the second prince has the military power of the Ming family to support him. If he wins the Southern Tang princess again, his momentum will be too strong. Today, the second prince will not be allowed to sit on the throne.Then the most suitable candidates for marriage will naturally fall on the sixth and seventh princes.

But the second prince may not just admit defeat.

Ah Qing listened a few times, and said to Gu Yan in a low voice: "Princess Qinghe gave up so easily? Shouldn't she be beaten to death and refuse to admit defeat, and want to compete with me in various competitions for the favor of the major general?"

"It's really not possible, use the power of a princess to suppress me. After all, I am just a servant with a high position, and my status is low, so I can't compare with a high-ranking princess."

"No matter how bad it is, the eldest princess is very optimistic about Princess Qinghe. Once their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law unite, I will definitely lose."

Regarding Ah Qing's nonsense, Gu Yan only replied lightly: "Stop reading chatterbooks in the future."

Ah Qing scratched her head, glanced at Cheng Kangdi, and said again: "I really don't understand, Princess Qinghe is weird, and the emperor is also weird."

The corner of Gu Yan's mouth raised, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in Ah Qing's pocket, saying: "Look slowly, this is a big show."

Gu Yan's words made Ah Qing even more confused, and he saw nothing interesting about the subsequent court performances.I just feel that things in the palace are a mess, everyone has a smile on their face, but everyone's smile doesn't reach their eyes.

But hypocrisy and obscenity, each takes what it needs.

"Look, the people in this hall are all good at acting."

Ah Qing felt bored for a while, the noise from these people gave him a headache.Then quietly exited the main hall, and went to the small garden at the back to have fun.

He was not familiar with the road in the palace, so he didn't go far, he just stood by the river for a while.

Yue Mo's banquet was almost over, so he got up and walked back, bumped into a person head-on, and almost knocked him into the river.

The man hurriedly apologized: "Young monk, I didn't mean it."

Ah Qing staggered two steps, said: "Be careful next time, luckily you bumped into me, if you really bumped into some noble person, you won't be able to keep your head."

"Yes, yes, thank you benefactor."

"Hey, are you a monk? From Huguo Temple?"

According to Gu Yan, the monks of Huguo Temple are all praying for the emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, why did this monk appear here recklessly?

"Yes, the little monk was chanting scriptures and praying for the emperor, and in the middle of it, I got a bit, um, my stomach hurt, but I got lost and accidentally bumped into the benefactor. I'm really sorry."

"Oh, that's it. Then you should be more careful next time. The roads in the palace are intricate and complicated. If you take the wrong one, you will have to take a lot of wrong roads."

"Thank you for the reminder, benefactor."

Ah Qing sighed for her kind deed while walking towards the Hall of Yilan.

When Ah Qing was seated, Gu Yan frowned slightly: "Where have you been? What's the smell on you?"

"Smell?" Ah Qing lowered his head and smelled it, and sure enough there was a light sandalwood scent, and this man's nose is really good.So he told the story of meeting a monk by chance.

When Gu Yan heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"The Hall of Supreme Harmony is at the northernmost end of the imperial palace. It is very far away. Even if you go the wrong way, you will not reach the front hall. Furthermore, even if you are in a hurry, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is not without space. Why did you come so far?"

"Ah, it's really strange for you to say that. The monk looked flustered, and he didn't know what shameful things he did. I'm really too kind, so I should hold him down and interrogate him carefully." fan."

"Okay, the matter of Huguo Temple will be decided today, and nothing has happened right now, so let's not mention it for now."

"Oh, okay." Ah Qing said, grabbing another handful of melon seeds.
