Vol 2 Chapter 1040: Is Huyang dying? (Three shifts)

As a member of the circle of honorable military commanders, the rumors outside cannot hide from the family.
Naturally, I didn't care at first.
It's just that I have listened a lot, those words will inevitably be heard and heart.
Looking back on these years, the empress’s treatment of the Gu family seemed, as if, really indifferent.
Gu's family did not receive special care because they were relatives.
When gossip enters my mind, it is inevitable that I will be thinking wildly.
Tossing around at night and unable to fall asleep, Hu pushed Gu Teng, "You said the empress is really dissatisfied with us?"
Gu Teng yawned, "Don't think about it, go to bed."
Where can Hu's sleep, "You can be filial in a few months, are you going to get up again?"
"We will wait for filial piety to talk about the recovery. You, don't listen to wind or rain."
"It's not that I'm thinking about it alone. In the past two days, I went to the Houfu and Dafang. Everyone was asking about the queen's attitude. The big aunt asked me if we didn't do anything well."
Gu Teng was so noisy that he lost his sleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the roof, "Even if the empress is dissatisfied with Gu's family, she will never deliberately suppress Gu's family. I am sure of this."
Hu frowned, "But this time we are planning to build a military academy. It seems that we have nothing to do with our family. On the contrary, it is Zhu Guo Gong's mansion, beaming, and post a post, please have a drink. I suspect that they are disgusting people, deliberately stimulating our family. people."
Gu Teng was silent for a moment, and said, "The Wei family of Zhu Guo's mansion is two generations of in-laws from the neighboring Hou Mansion. I think Zhu Guo's old man should not ignore our Gu family."
Hu retorted, "However, among the candidates recommended by Duke Zhu, he did not care for his family. The ones recommended by Duke Zhu were all his old subordinates, who were brazen and cronyism. But the empress still followed him."
Hu crushed the silver teeth.
Although Gu Teng is a civil official, it is not his turn to prepare for the establishment of a military academy.
But when she thinks that Gu's family has been neglected so thoroughly, she feels uncomfortable.
The relatives of the Gu family, who should have infinite beauty, are not as good as the general family of officials and officials.
During the late-night conversation, Hu did not hide his emotions.
Gu Teng sighed secretly, "Stop complaining! We don't need to worry about this."
Hu was dissatisfied, "Husband, this matter is related to the future status of Gu's family. It is not that you can stay out of it if it has nothing to do with you."
Gu Yan asked back, "Then what do you think I can do? You can't go to the palace and question the empress."
"Of course not, but you can go to Dafang, go to the Hou Mansion and ask the elders for their opinions. I think the person who is most anxious about this is the Hou Mansion."
Gu Yu frowned, "The brothers in the clan are all working in the military camp. They are not allowed to leave their posts without a transfer order. I am afraid that the qualifications of the brothers are not good enough to prepare for the establishment of the military academy. Count on your uncle, as well as several uncles in the Hou Mansion, the same It’s too late to fire. Don’t forget, the uncle and his generation have never fought a few battles. On the contrary, it is a few brothers who have been fighting on the battlefield with real swords and guns for many years."
Hu frowned, "A rare opportunity, do you really want to give up?"
Gu Yan sighed, "If Gu's family are really qualified to participate in the establishment of the college, I think Niang Niang will not be stingy to give everyone a chance."
"Other noble families are qualified, but our Gu family is not qualified. It's really awkward."
"Don't think about it. You and I cannot control this matter."
"If the uncle is in the capital, it must not be this situation."
The uncle Hu spoke of refers to Gu Ling.
Gu Ling went south to train soldiers for one to two years.
It seems that within a few years, he will not come back.
...
Those who miss Gu Yu are not the only ones who miss Gu Yu and his wife.
The Hou Mansion also missed Gu Ling.
Everyone knows that the empress empress and Gu Ling have deep siblings.
The queen empress would only really plan for Gu Ling, and the other Gu family members would be piggybacking.
Songhe Hall of Hou Mansion.
The old lady Wei is very old and very old, with white hair. But the spirit is not bad, the thinking is very clear.
She rode her crutches and sat on the limp.
People are old, can't sit on hard mahogany chairs, low back pain.
Soft collapse gradually became popular, and the old lady Wei added two sheets to herself, and it was really comfortable to sit.
The soft cushion backrest wraps the whole body, so comfortable!
Hou Ye Gu Zhiwen sat on the lower head, upright.
"There has been a lot of gossip outside recently, all related to our Gu family."
The old lady Wei's attitude is very clear, "Don't pay attention to the gossip outside. The empress did not forget Gu's family, let alone ignore Gu's family, the people outside just fear that the world will not be chaotic."
"We know that the empress did not neglect Gu's family, but the clansmen don't know, and the people outside don't know. Do you want to spread the news that Gu Rui and the others are about to return to Beijing, and seal the mouths of those people."
The old lady Wei’s idea is very right, "Since the Queen Mother told us not to say anything, you just listen to the Queen. The military academy is organized, and our Gu family also participates. Gu Rui will bring the first batch of students selected from the military camp to Beijing. I have a good show to watch."
Gu Zhiwen nodded, "I'm just not reconciled. Those people are like women with long tongues, their mouths are too stinky."
The old lady Wei laughed, "Since you know they are women with long tongues, why bother about them."
At this time, the next person reported that it was Gu Cheng and Hu's visiting.
Gu Zhiwen smiled clearly, "Another person who can't sit still and ask for news."
The old lady Wei ordered her servants, "Invite Gu Yu and his wife in. Their family is about to be filial."
"When the spring starts next year, you can be filial."
"Next year's spring, just in time for the opening of the Military Academy, is also a good sign."
...
There are all kinds of gossip and talk.
It even reached the palace and reached the ears of the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Pei was surprised, "What does the queen mean, her family will not take care of it?"
Wengonggong waited on the Queen Mother Pei, "Maybe there is something profound about what the Queen Mother did."
Empress Dowager Pei sneered, "What's the meaning! When she was in the palace, she didn't like to go back to her natal family, and she didn't have much contact with the sisters in the family, except for Gu Mei who married into the Daihou House."
"The empress dowager has a good memory, and I still remember things from many years ago."
Empress Dowager Pei smiled triumphantly, "This palace is not like the first emperor who doesn't know how to care for the body, this palace never spoils its own body."
"The empress will live for a hundred years!" Wengonggong took the opportunity to say auspicious words to beg a favor.
The Queen Mother was in a good mood, "The Queen is not afraid of gossip, and treats her family members cruelly. My palace treats her with admiration."
Wengonggong whispered, "The empress does not seem to be criticized by accident."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face collapsed.
This is particularly annoying.
Because in the world, no woman can be as free and easy as Gu Jiu, who doesn't care about people's criticism, doesn't care about anyone's opinions, and lives her own way.
It is said that Huyang lived free and easy, in the eyes of Queen Mother, Gu Jiu is the real free and easy life.
The Huyang one can only be called a wandering skeletal corpse.
"My palace hasn't seen Huyang for a long time, how is she doing?"
Huh?
This topic changed so quickly, why did it come to Huyang.
Wen Gonggong cheered up and said: "Princess Huyang has been ill since the last time, and she has not been in good spirits. I heard that she dismissed all the faces in the palace, leaving only a monk by her side."
Huh!
After hearing the words, the Queen Mother laughed out loud.
"Unexpectedly, Huyang turned out to be a kind of love. For so many years, I have been thinking about the hopeless bald donkey. It is a pity that the hopeless bald donkey will never return to her. She can only rely on a fake to solve the suffering of lovesickness. It's really rare to live as confused as her for a lifetime."
Wen Gonggong was curious, "Why does Niang Niang say Huyang is confused."
"Of course she is confused!"
Mrs. Pei looked triumphant, and she couldn't understand how Huyang she was.
"In the early years when Chen Fuma was still alive, the couple almost fell out. Although Emperor Wu Zong Kaiyao was strict, he actually loved Huyang more. At that time, if Huyang had resolutely proposed to reconcile, he would make a few reconciliations, Wu Zong Kaiyao. The emperor guessed that he would nod his head in agreement. In this way, naturally there would be no mess behind."
"But Huyang didn't reconcile and separated, and when we had separate days with Chen Luma, the leaks got bigger and bigger. When something happened to the Chen family, she was dumbfounded. Weeping and crying to see the first emperor, this palace really looked down upon her. "
Speaking of the past, Queen Mother Pei was very contemptuous of Huyang.
Wengonggong casually guessed: "Perhaps Huyang Princess is reluctant to part with the Chen family's money, so she didn't make peace with Chen Fuma."
Empress Dowager Pei held her palms and laughed, "This is reasonable. She is a greedy person and naturally refuses to give up the Chen family's money. Buy a gift, and you will take a trip to the palace tomorrow to visit Huyang. Tell her, Ben The palace misses her very much. If she is well, she will go to the palace to have a look. Our auntie, it is a wonderful thing to talk about wine."
"Old slave obeys!"
Wengong knew well that Queen Mother Pei just wanted to get sick of Huyang once.
Until the next day, he took a gift and went out of the palace to the Huyang Princess Mansion.
After being notified, he was invited into the bedroom.
Was frightened instantly.
What happened?
The Huyang princess, who has always been plump, became skinny.
"The old slave greets the princess. The empress dowager is thinking about the princess, and she specially ordered the old slave to visit her."
"No ceremony! I didn't expect my sister-in-law would also worry about the palace, but she was interested."
"How is the princess' body? There is no big problem, right?" Wen Gonggong couldn't help but curiosity and asked cautiously.
Princess Huyang smiled, her smile was rare and warm.
"My palace can't die for the time being!"
"Is the imperial doctor neglecting the princess? The princess's body is already like this, why there is no news in the palace."
There were too many questions in Wen Gonggong's mind.
What was wrong with Huyang's body.
"My palace has issued a password!" Huyang said lightly.
"Then, the princess's body?"
Huyang raised his eyebrows, "You always ask the body of the palace, do you want to know when the palace will die?"
As sharp and venomous as always.
Still familiar Huyang, familiar taste.
"The princess misunderstood, the old slave had no intention of this." Wengonggong quickly pleaded guilty.
Huyang smiled, "You don't mean that, I'm afraid that the queen mother would be eager to die sooner. The queen mother, this palace has fought with her for a lifetime, she is a stingy and vengeful person. Go back and tell her that she will be happy Yes, because my palace will definitely die before her."
"Princess, please take this statement back!" With a serious face, Gong Gong continued: "How can the princess curse herself in such a trivial matter of life and death. Also, the queen mother will never expect the princess to die early!"
"Shut up, you!"
Princess Huyang sternly scolded Wengonggong.
"Do you know the Queen Mother, or the house knows her. I know what she is thinking in her heart. You, as a castrate, have completed the task, so you should go back to the palace as soon as possible to avoid getting in front of the house. Take a bite. The Queen Mother, my palace was full of disgust when listening to it. Today, what the palace said, you can repeat it to the queen mother without changing a single word, but to see if she can still laugh."
Even though Princess Huyang became skinny and thin, her momentum remained unchanged.
She did not say anything and was not polite to Wengonggong.
Wengonggong was not angry.
She knew that Huyang had this temper, and she had been mentally prepared before she came.
"The empress dowager also hopes that the princess will get well soon, and enter the palace to have a good drink."
Huyang chuckled, "She is interested, but I am not happy to have a drink with her, nor can I be happy. You go quickly, and talk to you so tired."
She waved her hand and drove Wen Gonggong like a fly.
The servants of the princess mansion also came to drive him.
Wengong Gong had no choice but to return to the palace first.
