Chapter 1768: Do you want to see him?

This day, the capital ushered in a cold spring.
Although the sun is great, there is almost no power in the bitter chill brought by the howling north wind and wind. Everyone is wearing thick cotton-padded clothes. Seeing the bright sun outside, no one is willing to go out.
Gu Tingqiu sat in a chair and took a sip of tea.
Drink it warmly, but in his heart, somehow, a little empty.
"Ugh……"
Hearing him sigh again, Si Muyun who was next to him said softly, "Why is my uncle sighing again?"
"..."
"The imperial concubine is pregnant, which is good news for us."
"..."
"Why is my uncle always worried?"
Gu Tingqiu couldn't tell, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "The old man just wondered why the concubine's happy event came from the concubine Hui, and the emperor didn't directly send the news back."
"..."
"Moreover, the old man wrote a letter to Yiyou a while ago, but he hasn't responded yet."
"..."
"They, nothing will happen to them, right?"
Si Muyun hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't think about it."
"..."
"Iyou and Sinian were recommended by the imperial concubine to the emperor. Before leaving, didn't his uncle also reminded them again and again not to disappoint the imperial concubine's expectation and let them do the emperor well?"
"..."
"I'm afraid they are busy now, so please don't worry about replying."
Hearing his persuasion, although he could not completely dispel the worries in Gu Tingqiu's heart, he could only allow himself to be persuaded by these words.
Said: "I hope so."
As he said, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
As soon as the tea cup was put down, the butler walked in again from the outside: "Master, the lady of the Xu family, Xu Xiaoxiao, came to visit again."
"Oh?"
Hearing this news, Gu Tingqiu was a little surprised, and looked at each other with Si Muyun.
I thought, why did she come again?
They didn't have much contact with the Xu family. Originally thought that the last time Xu Xiaoxiao visited, it was just a child's fun. Unexpectedly, she came again today.
Gu Tingqiu thought for a while and said, "Please, please."
After a while, I saw Xu Xiaoxiao walking in from the outside with a smile. This time he was more familiar than before, and he said to Gu Tingqiu directly: "My niece visits Uncle Gu."
Gu Tingqiu smiled and said, "Hurry up, please. Xiaoxiao, you are here again."
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "My niece is here again today, and I want to find Wei Qing to play for a while, Uncle Gu, can you?"
Gu Tingqiu hesitated.
Originally, after hearing the good news about the imperial concubine, he planned to release his daughter from the attic, but in the past two days, listening to Qingqing and sighing, made him even more uneasy.
Still thinking about whether to lock her in the attic again.
But Xu Xiaoxiao came to see her when she saw the sky.
Xu Xiaoxiao asked again: "Uncle, can you?"
Gu Tingqiu looked at her for a while, but after all he could not refuse, and said, "Of course.
After speaking, he ordered the next person: "Go and call the lady out."
Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "No need, Uncle Gu, it's fine for my niece to go in and find a young man by herself."
After speaking, he got up and bowed to him, and walked directly in.
Looking at her back, Gu Tingqiu didn't know what to say for a while, and Si Muyun also said with a wry smile: "This Miss Xu Jia is really familiar. She is said to be the niece of the empress, but she is not at all. Not as stable as a queen empress."
Gu Tingqiu thought for a while and said, "Never mind."
"..."
"Qingqing has not had children of the same age to play with her since she was young, and it is inevitable that she sighs like this every day."
"..."
"With this Xu Xiaoxiao coming over, the two girls will be female celebrities and look at the scenery, maybe it will be better for her."
Si Muyun said: "Yes."
Gu Tingqiu said: "Now. The old man is just worried about Yiyou and Sinian, and I hope they will never have trouble."
"Uncle rest assured."
"Ugh……"
When Gu Tingqiu was worried, Xu Xiaoxiao followed a maid and walked into Gu Qiqing's boudoir happily. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Qiqing sitting at the table, looking at the shaky tree shadow outside the window.
Xu Xiaoxiao said: "Qing Qing."
When she heard her voice, Gu Qiqing was shocked, turned her head hurriedly, and opened her eyes wide: "Xiaoxiao, you--?"
"I came to play with you again."
Xu Xiaoxiao walked over with a smile, and saw that the table in front of her was covered with white paper, and she was holding a pen in her hand, but the ink dripped along the tip of the pen, and there were blotches on the paper. No words were written down.
It can be seen that she has been in a daze for a long time.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? So ecstatic?"
"No, nothing."
Gu Qiqing smiled, put down the Bi in his hand, and grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said: "It's nice that you are here, I'm worried that no one has anything to say."
"Oh? What do you want to tell me?"
"Uh--"
Although I wanted to find someone to talk, but when I really wanted to talk, Gu Qiqing didn't know what he wanted to say.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's bright big eyes, she hesitated for a while.
Then he smiled and said, "Are you just coming out of the palace today?"
"No, I only entered the palace yesterday, so I won't go today."
"Oh, then you-entered the palace and saw the empress?"
"of course."
"See, have you seen His Royal Highness King Wei?"
Xu Xiaoxiao listened to her cautious inquiry, but her heart was bright, and she smiled: "Of course, every time I enter the palace, I will see His Royal Highness Wei Wang, and he takes me to play everywhere."
"Is it……"
Somehow, when he heard this news, Gu Qiqing felt a little sad.
She grinned reluctantly and sat back in the chair.
Then he ordered his maidservant to pour tea to Xu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing her in a daze, happy for a while, and lost again for a while, Xu Xiaoxiao smiled in her heart, but didn't say a word. When the maid brought the hot tea, Gu Qiqing told the maid to step down, Xu Xiaoxiao Then he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence."
Gu Qiqing said: "What a coincidence?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "Qingqing, ask me about His Royal Highness Wei Wang, and His Highness Wei Wang also talked about you."
"...!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qiqing's eyes widened, and looked at her in shock: "Really?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said: "Of course it is true, how could I lie to you?"
Gu Qiqing's face turned red again, and he held the corner of his clothes at a loss. After hesitating for a while, he asked softly, "Then he, what did he say about me?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said: "It doesn't matter what he says about you, what matters is that he has a question he wants to ask you."
"Ask me? What's the problem?"
Seeing Gu Qiqing looked a little timid and eager, Xu Xiaoxiao cautiously leaned to her ear and said softly: "He asks you, do you--want to see him?"
