62. Gossip
When Qiao Yu went back, it was already dark. They picked a remote path, and there were almost no lights around. Only Jinfu was lanterns in front and Qiao Yu followed closely behind, and he was satisfied with him. He was in a good mood and was brisk in his steps. He wanted to go back to see Jing Yan earlier.
The autumn wind blew, and the candlelight was filled with thin lantern paper, shaking by the wind, leaving only a faint light, barely illuminating a small area in front of you, and was blocked by the shadows of the surrounding trees, without any revealing.
Halfway through the way, a low voice came from a short distance. Qiao Yu was not the one who liked to listen to the corners of the wall, and she didn't stop. Just when she was about to leave quickly, she heard her name.
It was the voice of a little palace maid. She asked hesitantly: "Sister Musui, what's wrong with the Xianlin Palace, that Liangyu Majesty, what's wrong with the Great Highness? I heard from Aunt Bihe that there is anything good in Xianlin Palace, and I will send it to you first."
Qiao Yu's steps slowed down and gradually stopped there.
The palace maid named Musui was about older. He smiled and said, "What's the matter? As you think, Your Highness has been in Taiqing Palace for six years and has passed the age of crowning, and there is not a single palace maid around him. Maybe, it's not that way. Why, are you envious?"
The little palace maid didn't answer this and laughed a lot. After a while, she said, "What do you envy? Eunuchs are all ill-doctoral things. They won't end well in the future because they are favored by charming the emperor. Moreover, the Grand Highness, if you don't say that you favor eunuchs in Taiqing Palace, you will still be like this when you come out. I guess you will be overwhelmed..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the wooden ears. The older palace maid scolded: "I am so brave that I dare to talk about my master's affairs. Is it better to catch koi well. If the Empress can't see the fish tonight, be careful of your skin."
Then there was the little palace maid begging for mercy, with soft waves rippling, and the autumn wind wrapped in the smell of water rushed into Qiao Yu's nose. He choked for a moment before he reacted.
Jinfu dared not speak. Jing Yan pampered Qiao Yu, which was known to everyone in the palace. The Xianlin Palace was strictly controlled. If anyone was too gossiped, he would not have to speak in the future, so Qiao Yu couldn't hear a word of gossip. But it was different from the outside. The palace was so big that Jing Yan could not control so many mouths now.
Qiao Yu stared at the other side with anger, as if she was about to burn. She pinched her palms tightly with her fingertips, and finally restrained her. She didn't rush out directly like when she was a child, like a defeated little rooster, dejected, and finally walked away lightly.
The atmosphere along the way was very stuffy and no one spoke.
Jinfu is much older than Qiao Yu. She has been together for so long, but in fact, she treats him as her younger brother in her heart. After a while, she said, "I have recorded the faces of the two palace maids just now. If you are sad and angry, I will come out to teach them a lesson for you in the evening."
Qiao Yu was stunned: "...Ah? You don't need to teach me a lesson. I will do it myself if I scold them."
He paused again, as if he missed the past, "I am really grown up now. If I were a child, I would have had a quarrel with them and even talked bad things about Your Highness behind my back. How could I say that Your Highness is bad? Your Highness has no bad things!"
His words were loud and made Jinfu confused. She asked carefully: "Aren't you angry that they talked about you like that?"
As soon as she said this, Jin Fu regretted it. She was very restrained and restrained, but in front of Qiao Yu, she seemed to be infected by him.
Qiao Yu turned his head to look at her, a little confused, and he whispered: "But I am not a eunuch, and what they said is wrong. Even eunuchs, there are many good people in it. A person will not naturally distinguish between good and bad just because he is a eunuch and palace maid or a concubine and prince. He is a good person, and Jinfu is also a good person. My aunt is a concubine, but a bad guy."
Jinfu couldn't help laughing, and she asked, "Why aren't you happy?"
Qiao Yu lowered her head and stared at her toes. After a long time, she said, "Although I know in my heart, others don't think so. Do they think I have anything to do with Your Highness? When I was a child, I said that the monarch favored eunuchs, and they were foolish and incompetent, and were blinded. It would be fine if they talked about me, but I don't know me anyway, and it doesn't matter in the future. But I don't want them to talk about Your Highness, it won't do anything at all."
He could not tolerate others saying that Jing Yan.
In fact, Qiao Yu didn't understand what the palace maids said. Because he was really naive and powerful, he was protected too well by Chengxin and Jingyan. He had never seen dirty things in the palace before, and his understanding of love was limited to what his grandmother said when he was young, so he married a beautiful and gentle wife.
After a while, Qiao Yu sighed, "Forget it. If I quarrel with someone again, it will cause trouble for Your Highness. Jinfu, don't tell him."
He raised his eyes lightly, his slender eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were pitch black, and there was light flowing inside.
Jinfu's heart trembled and she nodded in a daze. She suddenly understood why His Highness liked Qiao Yu so much.
Qiao Yu's heart is like the clearest gem. He is timid, innocent, lively, and irrational, but he is extremely brave and can be invincible for Jingyan.
They stopped talking, and after returning to Xianlin Palace, Jing Yan was not there. Qiao Yu couldn't forget that incident. He knew that it was not his fault or the prince's fault, but he was still upset and could not continue painting. So he threw away his brush and went to the study not far away.
A few days ago, in order to get the word "无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无无�
The study room was full of lights and the room was bright. Qiao Yu was lying on the soft couch behind the screen to read a book, with dried fruit and snacks next to it. There were no such things in the study room, but later because Qiao Yu often came, Jing Yan asked people to add these things, making him feel comfortable to lie down.
Qiao Yu couldn't read the book very well, and he went out for a trip to Japan today, and he was so tired. As he looked at it, the square words in front of him blurred into pieces and could no longer see clearly.
He fell asleep on the small table on the couch.
The window next to it was not closed tightly. The cold wind wrapped around the cold and fine autumn rain blew in through the gap, extinguishing the fire on the candlestick. Without the light, Qiao Yu slept more peacefully.
I don’t know how long it took, someone pushed open the door of the study and walked in two figures, one was young and tall, tall and thin, while the other was hunched back and hunched, and old.
It was Jing Yan and his former Grand Tutor Mr. Gu.
As soon as Jing Yan was born, Emperor Yuande appointed Gu Fengfang, a great scholar in the court, as his teacher. Gu Fengfang taught Jing Yan since childhood. He almost watched him grow up, and also hoped that he would grow up, become an emperor, and fulfill his wishes.
As soon as the deposed prince left the Taiqing Palace, he had already resigned from his official position and returned to the suburbs of the city to retire, Gu Fengfang wrote a letter to him and wanted to do things for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Yuande agreed to him to come back.
Jing Yan accompanied Gu Fengfang in the guest seat and poured tea himself. The two discussed the matters in the court for a while, and then talked about Jing Xu's actions in Ninghe, which was really not scary.
After a while, Gu Fengfang finished drinking a cup of tea, finally coughed a few times and asked, "Your Highness has obtained the word "王子" and it is really not good. It is not the word "王子". I have re-written a few for your Highness. What do you think?"
Perhaps because the conversation outside was too noisy, Qiao Yu in his sleep was woken up. He rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed in a daze, as if he was dreaming, and heard Jing Yan's voice.
He said seriously: "Why not good at following the heart and doing whatever you want? Gu thought this word is very good and liked it very much. He had reported it to his father. This morning, the father had decided."
Qiao Yu heard Jing Yan's voice, and was like a person instinctively chasing the light in the darkness, and immediately turned his head to look at the other side of the screen.
