MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 68 (10,000 words one more)
When Gong Yu woke up in the early morning, before he recovered, he turned his head slightly to see Dai Ruyan snuggling beside him, and the whole person was very close.
It was very bright outside the window, Gong Yu squinted a little and was a little uncomfortable with the light.
When he was asleep, Dai Ruyan was exactly the same as before, he would pull Gong Yu's robe as usual, and rely on Gong Yu extremely trustingly.
Gong Yu raised her hand and lightly touched the slightly frowned brow, looked at it for a while, and then got up and left.
In the past, there was a generation Ruyan who did not need Gong Yu to take care of her robes, but now Gong Yu has to toss with this cumbersome robe by herself.
Chen Ming, the minister of Dali Temple in the early court, reported the assassination case on the Shangyuan Festival, saying that it should have been the act of Gongliang's rebels.
But Gong Liang's army was far away from the capital, and there was probably an internal response from the people in the capital.
Regarding that Gong Ling, Gong Yu had sent a lot of people to investigate the details, but he was very cunning, and he just couldn't find any clues.
When the morning was over, Gong Yu hesitantly walked to the inner hall, Dai Ruyan seemed to have just woken up and was sitting by the window, and she turned her head to look at Gong Yu indifferently.
Fortunately, Gong Yu also began to get used to it slowly. The porridge was already prepared on the low table on the other side. After the palace people packed up, they quietly left.
"Am I late?" Gong Yu sat down hesitantly and asked.
Dai Ruyan Qing closed the book and said, "It's okay."
The two of them each used the porridge and vegetables placed in front of them, and neither of them spoke. In the past, Gong Yu had no scruples. Naturally, he would say what he wanted to say, for fear that he would say something wrong and be kicked out.
Thinking about Gong Yu like this, she just bury her head in eating porridge, and the others don't dare to say a word.
After dinner, the sunlight outside the window was already bright, and the palace people packed up the dishes and sat on the side reading a book on behalf of Ruyan Jing.
Gong Yu sat for a while, but couldn't hold back a word, so he had to get up and go to the outer hall to review the memorial.
Although it was a little embarrassing, at least Dai Ruyan was willing to stay in the palace. This can be regarded as Gong Yu's self-consolation.
Another half month has passed, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. In previous years, Gong Yu always felt that there would be a hot prickly heat, but this time, the back of the neck was rarely unaffected.
After taking a bath at night, Gong Yu put on a loose, self-made short-sleeved robe. Because Dai Ruyan was not afraid of heat, there was no cooling mat on the bed.
Gong Yu naturally couldn't bear it, so he had to sleep on a reclining chair in the hall all day, not far from the bed, so he could see from the side.
Outside the slightly open window was the full moon, and the cicadas were very noisy outside. Gong Yu closed his eyes a little tired.
Until the bead curtain swayed, Gong Yu slowly opened her eyes, and saw Dai Ruyan in thin clothes sitting in front of the dressing table beside her.
When I first saw Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu felt that Dai Ruyan was good-looking. After so many years, it seemed that she had returned to the first time she first met, but Gong Yu couldn't help but want to take a second look.
There were only two candlesticks left to illuminate the hall, some of which were very faint, but Gong Yu couldn't see Dai Ruyan's expression clearly.
However, Dai Ruyan suddenly turned her head and asked, "I will hold a banquet tomorrow to invite the ladies of the ministers to the banquet. Are you free?"
Gong Yu concealed his guilty conscience, stretched out his hand and hugged the small water pillow and said, "Day or night?"
"Tomorrow is near dusk, and the lotus flower in Qingchi Palace is in full bloom, which is just right for viewing."
"it is good."
The words ended simply and simply, Dai Ruyan slowly turned around and looked at the bronze mirror, lightly combing her drooping hair.
There was thin smoke from the burning stove in the hall, and the breeze coming through the window shook the bead curtains with a crisp sound.
Or the sound of cicadas outside was too annoying, and Gong Yu tossed and turned, but Dai Ruyan had already entered the bed to rest.
There was only one of the original two candlesticks left. The heavy sleepiness dissipated because of Dai Ruyan's words. Gong Yu asked hesitantly, "Will Gong Ling attend the banquet tomorrow?"
"Um."
Why is there a palace spirit every time?
Gong Yu was very flustered, for fear that if Dai Ruyan was deceived by Gong Ling's sweet words, she would really want to cry without tears.
Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Gong Yu and said, "Chu Feixun and the soldiers of the Sang Kingdom died on the battlefield, and many of the major generals of the Palace Kingdom also died in the battle, leaving the widows and widows behind. The court needs to appease people's hearts. ."
This is reasonable, and even Gong Yu suspects that Dai Ruyan may have already remembered everything, otherwise why is she suddenly so calm and calm?
"I have to keep this position for Xiao Jiu." Dai Ruyan said this sentence.
Gong Yu's heart was inexplicably cold again, and he couldn't even ask the words.
The next day, Gong Yu's contemporaries Ruyan Yi attended the banquet, and Gong Ling dressed up to attend the banquet as if it was not like she was saddened by the death of her husband in battle.
A large lot of lotus flowers are in full bloom in Qingchi Palace, and when the breeze comes slowly, there is still a light floral fragrance.
The ladies held a banquet and listened to the play in the promenade by the pool. On the surface, it seemed that they were more harmonious.
But these ladies are also human beings, and the disputes between the parties in the court, together with these inner chambers who have been sealed, will also follow the trend of the wind.
He listened to many flattering words, and Gong Yu sometimes dealt with it lazily and just put a face on her face, but Ruyan did not show the slightest tiredness.
When the night was dark, the opera was only halfway through, and Gong Yu couldn't stand it anymore, her eyelids were fighting, and her whole body fell backward unconsciously.
A hand suddenly fell on the back, Dai Ruyan looked ahead and smiled lightly: "If you are sleepy, then go back to the hall to rest."
Gong Yu hurriedly straightened her back and shook her head in response: "No, I just feel a little sleepy."
Dai Ruyan quietly withdrew her hand and asked as usual, "Is this banquet boring?"
"I don't love these operas, and it's really uncomfortable to sit still for hours."
"Actually, they don't like to hear it either."
they?
Gong Yu looked at the ladies on the other side and asked attentively, "They are watching very seriously."
Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Gong Yu, blinked lightly and said, "They are ministers, so they must learn to obey. Although the way of a king's ministers is in the court, it is not only in the court."
Gong Yu's somewhat surprised face was reflected in those clear eyes, Gong Yu pursed her lips slightly, thinking that this is definitely Dai Ruyan, except her, no one can be so proficient in tactics.
But why doesn't she know herself?
Or why did she pretend she didn't know herself?
The banquet didn't end until late at night, and the ladies saluted and went to the palace, the palace spirit's gaze fell on Dai Ruyan, who was sitting upright, holding the wine glass between her fingers, smiling between her lips: "This is really a good one. play."
The ladies on the side echoed: "Yeah, this play was chosen on behalf of the queen."
Gong Ling turned his head to look at the neighboring lady, his original smile suddenly changed to anger and said, "You know what this is, the Empress Dai is putting pressure on us on the open."
The ladies who were still full of smiles stopped laughing one after another, as if the previous smiles were all illusions.
"Now that the current queen holds great power, we have to follow her. Why should the princess be angry?" asked the young lady.
"Yes, life or death is the main point of the banquet." Gong Ling smiled suddenly, his eyes were full of viciousness, and the ladies on the side were silent.
After this night, it was the hottest and unbearable period of summer. Every morning, Gong Yu was woken up by the heat, because she was always covered with a thin blanket.
Gong Yu reluctantly tore off the thin blanket, her suspender skirt was already wrinkled, Dai Ruyan sat in front of the dresser, her eyes looked at Gong Yu through the bronze mirror, which was already half down, so she could not help pursing her lips. Said: "How do you dress like this?"
"It's so hot today, why can't I wear it?"
"I don't allow it."
Forehead…
This statement is really in line with Dai Ruyan's consistent style.
Gong Yu held the thin blanket in her hands, leaned against the dresser boldly and looked at Dai Ruyan's expression and asked, "Ayan, do you remember something?"
Dai Ruyan looked sideways at Gong Yu, her eyes seemed to be searching, but her thin lips were tightly pursed.
This is the best response.
But Dai Ruyan kept her mouth shut, and Gong Yu had no choice but to open the topic and say, "It's hot and I'm not wearing this skirt outside. I'm sweating from this thin blanket."
Saying that, Gong Yu was about to go to the room to take a shower and take a shower, but Dai Ruyan's arm was suddenly held tightly by Dai Ruyan.
"Where are you going?" Dai Ruyan asked with loose lips:
Gong Yu saw the fear hidden in Dai Ruyan's eyes at a glance, and said unbearably, "I'm a little hot, so I went to wash inside, and I'll change clothes later and go to the morning."
Dai Ruyan just released her hand slowly, and her expression was as calm as before.
If nothing happens, the early court will end sooner, and the Gongliang rebellion is a bit noisy, so Gong Yu spends a lot of time discussing the transfer of troops.
During the meal, Gong Yu held the porridge bowl and said, "I want to choose a military general to lead the army to suppress Gongliang's rebels. Does Ayan have anyone to recommend?"
Dai Ruyan, who was holding a porridge bowl beside him, if it wasn't for Gong Yu to speak first, Ruyan would not have said a word in ordinary times.
"Gu Qing."
"Is there no other choice?"
Dai Ruyan shook her head without saying a word, ate the porridge by herself, and said nothing else.
Gong Yu sighed and said, "Now Gu Qing is the most famous general in the court, and it's no problem to lead troops to fight."
But when Gu Qing was in the morning, his eyes seemed to be nailing Gong Yu to the wall.
It's a real thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh.
Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu, who was a little embarrassed, and asked, "Gu Qing doesn't want to?"
"No, it's just that I want to find other generals."
Gong Yu gulps down his porridge and looks out at the scorching sunlight like a scorching sun. He can't help but sigh: "It's easy to get tired in this weather, so sending troops to attack from afar is the best strategy."
"Then gather troops and horses from the prefectures and counties near the area where Gongliang occupies, so as to save the long journey."
"I also thought about it, it's just that those states and counties were inherited from the aristocratic family from the place where the palace country was founded. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. How can they be obedient and hand over their troops and horses?"
Dai Ruyan took a small mouthful of porridge with a wooden spoon in her hand, and said as if thinking about it: "First reward them and then appease them. If things don't go well, take them all down."
ah?
Gong Yu listened a little confusedly and asked: "Will it be too forceful to take it directly?"
"Those who do not use force have long forgotten their responsibilities as ministers."
"Okay, let me try it."
If you really want to use force, you have to shock and deter them, otherwise those states and counties will easily rebel.
For this matter alone, Gong Yu thought about it for a long time before issuing an edict to appoint Gu Qing as the general commander of the three armies, and at the same time dispatching court officials to appease first.
In the past few days, the big sun finally ushered in a storm, and it finally cooled down a little.
Gong Yu drank yogurt, and looked sideways at Dai Ruyan, who was sitting beside her in her spare time. The memorial was pinched in the palm of her hand as a fan.
The fat rabbit has always been very lazy, the rain outside is noisy, and the rain is flowing down the eaves.
It was a little brighter by the window, and there was a cool breeze, so it was naturally a lot more comfortable. Gong Yu rolled up his robes with his legs crossed, and wrote the memorabilia in his hand.
It seems that Dai Ruyan can do nothing all day, just stay in this hall.
Gong Yu’s review of memorials reads the book on behalf of Ruyan, Gong Yu lay lazily on the bamboo couch, and when she fell asleep, Ruyan still held the book, except for the meal, Dai Ruyan almost never left the book, let alone talk to Gong Yu about it. sentence.
Originally, I guessed that Dai Ruyan should remember it, but the scope of this memory is too broad. I don't know whether Dai Ruyan remembered that she was Xiaojiu, or she had already remembered the ins and outs of the whole thing?
Moreover, Dai Ruyan has not mentioned the longevity medicine for several months, and until now Gong Yu has not found the national teacher of Mulberry Kingdom and the place where the medicine is actually made.
"Ayan, are you hungry?" Gong Yu put down the memorial and tried to chat awkwardly.
Dai Ruyan lightly flipped through the book and replied, "This fashion has not yet reached the You Shi."
Well, this question doesn't fit.
Gong Yu reached out and picked up the pastry on the side and ate it in small bites, while the fat rabbit on the side ran over with small steps, a meaty mass.
The pouring rain was rustling, Gong Yu reached out and rubbed the fat rabbit, and when she saw the scar on her hand, she suddenly thought of the black cat.
"Where did that cruel black cat go?"
Dai Ruyan stopped flipping the book and said, "Send it out of the palace."
How could the black cat that was like baby Ruyan Ke be sent to the palace?
"Then why did Jasper also return to Changzhou?
"My mother was in Changzhou, so I sent her to take care of her."
Gong Yu shook her head and said in a low voice, "Jasper is a native of the capital, and now she's older, why doesn't Ayan find a marriage for her and let her live her own life."
Dai Ruyan turned her head to look at Gong Yu who was teasing the little rabbit and replied, "You are very concerned about Jasper."
As soon as these words came out, Gong Yu looked sideways at Dai Ruyan, thinking that Dai Ruyan was jealous?
However, Dai Ruyan just looked away indifferently, her eyes fell on the book, and her expression seemed to be the same as usual.
"I'm concerned about Jasper, that's naturally because she's A Yan's maid, otherwise why wouldn't I ask about the maid next to me?"
Dai Ruyan lightly blinked her eyes and responded, "You're so close, you're blocking the light."
Hey?
Gong Yu had to sit on the side in a regular manner, reaching out and pouring tea, wondering how long will this generation of Ruyan be pretending to be!
The rain was getting lighter outside, Gong Yu looked sideways at the window and said, "It's not good to be bored in this room all the time, why don't Ayan go outside with me?"
Dai Ruyan still looked at the book unmoved, Gong Yu looked at it eagerly, until Dai Ruyan replied, "Okay."
Rarely did the same generation Ruyan leave the hall, Gong Yu jumped down the stairs with an umbrella, looked at Dai Ruyan on the side and said with a smile, "I haven't gone to the Imperial Garden yet this year."
Gong Yu said to herself, then stepped closer, Dai Ruyan listened quietly, looked quietly at Gong Yu who was in a good mood, and then carefully moved away.
The flowers in the imperial garden were blooming brilliantly, Gong Yu held an umbrella in one hand, peeked at Dai Ruyan and asked, "Are you tired of walking?"
"fine."
"This palace has been constantly being repaired. There is a Linshui Pavilion in front of it. We will go there to rest."
The palace people not far away followed carefully, not daring to look up.
Entering the pavilion, Gong Yu put away her umbrella, and the sun began to emerge from hiding in the clouds.
Gong Yu sat aside with tea poured, seeing Dai Ruyan sipping tea in a small mouthful of tea, eating cakes in a very good mood.
After a while, the ground was already dry, except for the rain dripping from the corners of the eaves, but there was no trace of rain anywhere else.
The oncoming wind was also mixed with a little earthy smell, Gong Yu suddenly glanced at the rainbow and called out: "Ayan, look over there!"
Dai Ruyan followed the direction Gong Yu pointed, and looked slightly sideways, as if it were normal and responded: "Well."
"Don't you like it?" Gong Yu asked.
"fine."
Well, that means I don't like it.
Ever since Gong Yu realized that Dai Ruyan might have remembered the past, she began to suspect that Qing Lingcao might have been secretly replaced by Dai Ruyan.
But after a closer inspection, it was found that Dai Ruyan did not exchange Qinglingcao, and Gong Yu was even more surprised.
Could it be that Qinglingcao has medicinal effects?
Gong Yu couldn't come to a conclusion after thinking over and over again, sighed and said, "Aren, are you unhappy?"
Dai Ruyan, who was sipping her tea, turned her head to look at Gong Yu, her eyes flashed in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"
"I always feel like you haven't laughed since you returned to the palace. Did I make you angry?" Gong Yu asked pitifully on behalf of Ruyan.
Dai Ruyan pursed her lips and replied softly as if hesitating: "No."
"Then why aren't you joking with me like you used to?"
As soon as the question came to this, Dai Ruyan would choose to remain silent, and the topic would stop immediately, and even Gong Yu didn't know what went wrong.
At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun fell in the pavilion, Dai Ruyan looked sideways at the pool water, or the pavilion was shimmering against the waves.
Gong Yu's eyes fell on the peach-blossom hairpin on Dai Ruyan's rolled-up hair, and couldn't help but be stunned. Under what circumstances would Dai Ruyan keep silent and not mention what happened in the past?
So Dai Ruyan is afraid of her?
In the middle of the night, the two returned to the palace for dinner. Gong Yu held the soup bowl in hand and drank it slowly. Drinking hot soup in the summer is simply anti-human.
But Dai Ruyan didn't find it strange at all, so Gong Yu had to accompany him to drink.
After bathing, Gong Yu was lying on the bed in a short skirt and counting silently. When she finally heard the sound of the curtain, she guessed that Dai Ruyan should come out of the shower, and quickly closed her eyes.
I thought that reasoning would not make sense, so it wouldn't be a beauty plan, would it?
Besides, Gong Yu took the initiative to run from the reclining chair to the bed, so Dai Ruyan should not be a piece of wood.
When the footsteps approached, Gong Yu became inexplicably nervous, and it was obvious that Dai Ruyan's eyes were on this side, and that look Gong Yu was all too familiar with.
But there was no other movement. After a while, Gong Yu was a little sleepy, and Dai Ruyan's voice suddenly sounded beside her ear, calling softly, "Xiao Jiu..."
This soft voice can be rubbed out of water, if it was Qian Gongyu who really wanted to open his eyes and look like a face.
Apparently it was Dai Ruyan's test, Gong Yu didn't say anything until Dai Ruyan lay on one side.
Gong Yu's whole body was lightly circled, Dai Ruyan's breathing was slightly disordered as she was close to her cheek, but there was no other movement.
I don't remember how long I waited, Gong Yu opened her eyes and saw that Dai Ruyan was already asleep, but her arms never let go.
Although the beauty plan seems to be useless, it at least proves that Dai Ruyan has not changed her mind.
Otherwise, how could he take the initiative to be so close? Gong Yu smiled and leaned closer to kiss the next generation Ruyan's frowning brows before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Although he slept well that night, he was still woken up by the heat early in the morning.
This thin blanket tightly wrapped Gong Yu from head to toe, almost like a mummy.
Gong Yu had no choice but to untie the thin blanket, looked at Dai Ruyan, who was already washing and sitting by the window, and sighed, "I have to wait to hide this thin blanket next time."
Dai Ruyan on the other side looked sideways at Gong Yu who was wearing a thin short skirt, and couldn't help but dodge his eyes slightly.
After bathing in the harem jade and tossing the dragon robe, she used to be afraid that Dai Ruyan would get angry, so Gongyu never called the palace people to come in to serve. This has almost become a tacit understanding between the two. They can try their best to spend as much space as possible alone, and try not to let outsiders. blend.
But thinking that Dai Ruyan might not want to come over, Gong Yu sighed while holding the dragon robe, "It's really troublesome to wear this dragon robe alone."
Saying that, seeing no response from the person by the window, Gong Yu pretended to go outside, and behind him came Dai Ruyan's voice calling, "Come here."
Gong Yu smiled proudly, then turned into a bitter melon face and stood in front of Dai Ruyan.
I saw Dai Ruyan got up slowly, reached out and took Gong Yu's robe, completely ignoring Gong Yu's enthusiastic eyes, and said softly, "Turn over."
Hey?
Are you going to turn around?
It turned out that turning around was just to make Gong Yu not stare at Dai Ruyan like that.
