Vol 2 Chapter 1018: The emperor's greatest secret

Halfway through the palace banquet, take a break.
Xiao Zhang came to the three Gu family sisters, "What are the three sisters talking about?"
Gu Shan pursed her lips and smiled, "Just chatted a few words, sister-in-law, don't worry."
Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, I don't care about it at all. If you say this, I want to care about it. Quickly talk about it, talk about it, and I will have fun and have a good time."
Everyone looked at Gu Shan.
Gu Shan said calmly: "I just talked about these young ladies secretly. When we were young, we were a far cry from them."
"The four sisters are too modest, I know your skills." Xiao Zhang first married into the Gu family, and got along with the Gu family sisters, and understood each other.
Gu Shan pursed her lips and smiled, "Thanks a lot, sister-in-law. We have to say hello to sister-in-law Pei."
"Go together, go together."
Everyone found Pei Man and chatted.
In terms of relationship, it is natural that Gu Ling is closest to the empress.
The feelings between brothers and sisters are incomparable to outsiders.
As Mrs. Cheng Enbo, Gu Ling's wife, Pei Man was also treated with enthusiasm in the circle.
It's just that such enthusiasm recently made her a little tired of coping.
Everyone wants to inquire about the empress's feelings from her, how can she know.
She couldn't guess the feelings of the empress.
But everyone, somehow, sure she should know the empress's wishes. Do you know whose lady the queen empress values?
So much so that Pei Man had to thank the guests behind closed doors and escape the indiscriminate bombing of everyone.
For today's palace banquet, she also entered the palace with time. Fortunately, she came late and was not harassed.
Seeing Gu's sisters and Xiao Zhang, she felt relieved.
"You came just right, those people won't come over seeing you there."
Xiao Zhang knew it, "It feels like the whole capital is crazy to choose a wife for the eldest prince. Fortunately, we don't have this trouble."
Pei Man looked at the girl from the Gu family, and whispered to the little Zhang family: "You also brought the girl from the Gu Cong family? Although grandchildren don't have to keep the filial piety for three years, it is not convenient to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, and it is easy to gossip. "
Xie's death, Gu Teng, as a son of man, must keep his filial piety for 27 months.
The same goes for Hu.
Their children, as grandchildren, only need to observe filial piety for one year.
It's just that when there is still heavy filial piety at home, going out to socialize in the house is always a little unlucky.
It's another palace feast today, and it's even worse.
Fortunately, the empress is the grandmother of the Gu family, otherwise the palace will be held accountable and have to eat a pot.
Xiao Zhang also looked embarrassed, "I didn't want to take the girls into the palace, but I couldn't help but Brother Hu begged me. I had no choice but to bring the girls into the palace to gain insight."
Pei Man understood, "The girls' youth is delayed by keeping filial piety at home. Brother Hu is anxious and understands."
Gu Shan was a little embarrassed, "Sister-in-law is also true, Gu's girl has no chance. Wouldn't it be okay to let the nieces stay at home?"
The sister-in-law in her mouth naturally refers to the Hu family.
She complained, and she was also a little bit dissatisfied in her heart.
Xiao Zhang heard the words and stopped Gu Shan, "Four sister, how did you know that Gu's girl had no chance?"
Gu Shan said, "Is it necessary to say, if the queen empress values ​​the girls of Gu's family, why would she take the girls to the palace for a few days before the palace banquet, to understand."
Xiao Zhang smiled, "The four sisters are really transparent, but it's a pity that Brother Hu can't see through."
Pei Man excused Hu, "She is a fan of the authorities, and we can't blame her."
Gu Shan murmured, "Shou Xiao is stupid."
The Hus used to be shrewd, and after two years of filial piety, he seemed too eager to do things.
Gu Zhen pulled Gu Shan's sleeve to remind her not to talk nonsense.
Gu Shan covered her mouth and whispered: "Big sister, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
Believe you to blame.
Gu Lin suddenly said, "The Gu's girl is very good, why do you look down on the empress?"
Everyone was silent.
Gu Lin was dumbfounded, "Am I saying something wrong?"
Gu Shan took her and left, and said: "I tell you not to talk nonsense, why don't you have a long memory."
Gu Zhen also left.
Only Xiao Zhang and Pei Man remain.
Xiao Zhang asked Pei Man: "What did you think about the question just now?"
Pei Man lowered his head and smiled, "The empress has her own consideration, and it is not surprising that she looks down on the girl from the Gu family."
Xiao Zhang sighed with emotion and said: "The old lady of the Hou Mansion next door once said that the Queen Empress is playing a big chess game. We are all chess pieces on the chessboard. Perhaps the Gu family is not qualified to occupy the position of the big prince wife."
Pei Man smiled and said, "I don't care about these things. It's not the turn of my daughter."
"Brothers and sisters are free and easy!"
...
Until the palace banquet was over, Gu Jiu didn't take any lady seriously, and didn't even reveal any information.
Everyone's hearts are up and down.
They are not acquainted with the empress and empress, they can't guess what the queen empress wants.
Gu Mei replaced Pei Man and became a sweet potato.
Everyone got close to her.
To tell who knows the empress's mind, it is Gu Mei.
Gu Mei had anticipated this situation early, and the palace banquet had not yet ended, so she went out of the palace in advance to return home, thanking guests behind closed doors.
Gu Jiu asked the eldest prince Liu Yu's opinion, "Do you like it?"
Liu Yu shook his head, "No!"
Gu Jiu was anxious, "Isn't there anything pleasing to the eye?"
"It's like a person carved out of a mold, it's hard to judge."
Liu Yu told the truth.
The ladies are all dressed up, although each has its own beauty, but the behavior is the same dignified rules, it is difficult to judge temperament and temperament.
It is difficult for Liu Yu to see someone in a group of ladies.
The experience he went through helped him get rid of the impulse of the teenager early and hide his emotions.
He will be very cautious about what he likes.
He cannot easily like someone.
If you like it, it will start with talent, it will start with conversation, not by appearance.
Whether it is talent or talking, you need to understand each other.
It's too superficial to talk about likes on the mere side.
Liu Zhao was dissatisfied with his son.
He felt so distressed that Gu Jiu was so tired and thin.
The son really is a debt collector.
"Don't worry about the stinky boy's marriage. I don't like this one, and that one is not pleasing to the eye. Just tell him to bachelor for a lifetime."
Gu Jiu couldn't laugh or cry.
Liu Yusheng has nothing to love.
It is estimated that he jumped out of a crack in the stone, and he was so disgusted by his father.
Gu Jiu slapped the back of Liu Zhao's hand, "Don't talk nonsense. I clearly care about the child's marriage in my heart, why is the words so ugly?"
Liu Zhao scratched his neck, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't care about their marriage. I can't even find a wife, and it's far from what I was back then. Billowing, it's annoying to watch."
Liu Zhaote disliked his son.
Liu Yu rubbed his nose and couldn't afford it, so let's run quickly.
When the child is not in front of him, Liu Zhao feels comfortable.
Don't stretch the majesty of being an emperor, and lie down on the soft collapse at will, don't be too comfortable.
If the child is in front of him, he must remain decent and tired!
Therefore, in Liu Zhao's eyes, the children are debt collectors, which prevents him from having an easy rest time.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes to Liu Zhao.
"Look at the one who scared the child, is there you who are such a father?"
"Did you not see the stinky boy's eyes? He is anxious to leave quickly, so he is impatient to be questioned by us."
"You have to know your child's preferences."
"He has said someone he doesn't like, so he will choose a marriage relationship according to your wishes and ensure that it is correct." Liu Zhao is used to being a shopkeeper, and his son's marriage is not in his heart.
Gu Jiu was so angry that he pinched his waist and said, "There is no such thing as your father, so irresponsible."
Liu Zhao said angrily: "I don't care about him when he was a child. Now he has grown up and I still have to take care of him. I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of him when he is exhausted. And he is not willing to take care of him every time he goes to Xingqing Palace. Please, everyone looks like they can't wait to leave."
Gu Jiu smiled angrily and cupped his cheek, "Stingy!"
"I'm stingy, what's the matter?"
Liu Zhao sat up in one breath, angrily, like a child.
Gu Jiu laughed, "The longer you are, the more you go back. As long as you speak softly, the child is happy to say a few more words to you."
Liu Zhao snorted, sulked for a while, bit Gu Jiu's ear, and whispered: "Your son is too thoughtful. I can't tell him, so I don't want to talk to him."
Gu Jiu couldn't believe it, and found it ridiculous, "Dare to love you because you are afraid of losing to your son, so you are fierce to them. You are really..." terribly naive.
"Shhh!"
Liu Zhao was serious, "I have told you the biggest secret, you can't tell it."
Gu Jiu nodded while laughing, "I promise not to speak out."
Haha, it's really funny.
Liu Zhao's face was depressed. His son was more eloquent than Lao Tzu. He said that Lao Tzu was speechless. Is this funny?
Ha ha!
Obviously unfilial.
Liu Zhao was furious.
Gu Jiu laughed out of breath, and when he saw that he was angry, he waved his hands again and again, "I, I won't laugh. Haha..."
How could Liu Zhao be so naive.
Liu Zhao lay down and complained: "You also know that I am not good at words, let alone the literati debate. The stinky boy, with a little talent in learning, he must argue with me about the way to govern the country and call me. Fucked. I beat him to death."
Gu Jiu just stopped laughing, and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.
"You still laughed at me, without any sympathy at all." Liu Zhao complained harshly.
Gu Jiu laughed so hard that he couldn't say anything, so he could only wave his hands again and again.
For a long time, she stopped laughing.
He coughed slightly, and then said: "You should listen to your children's thoughts and understand what they think. Don't think that children are not as young as we are. Children are very smart and they have many good ideas. On certain issues , They are even more mature than us."
Liu Zhao is suspicious, his children are so good?
Gu Jiu held his cheek, "Don't underestimate the children, their future is more exciting than ours."
Liu Zhao didn't believe it, "Can you surpass you and me? I'm afraid it can't."
Gu Jiu laughed, "The universe is huge, and we can't achieve our goals if we exhaust our lives. The future depends on the children to continue to work hard, explore, and explore. Let the banner of the Great Week shine forever!"
