Gu Juefei paced out, and before he knew it, he had already reached the gate of the palace. When he looked up, the sky was blue, recalling how they looked like beasts guarding against floods, he couldn't hold back, he shook his head and sighed.
There was a strong aroma of wine in the air.
He smelled it immediately, turned his head along the aroma of the wine, and saw Fang Shaoxing who was sitting by the side drinking.
There are already quite a few small wine jars on the ground.
Fang Shaoxing was also turning his head to look at Gu Juefei, as if he was a little curious as to why he, one of the people at the banquet, ran back to the gate of the palace and stood here sighing.
But he didn't say anything, he just sat on the ground with one leg straight and one leg crossed.
Gu Juefei's eyes passed over the silver spear leaning against the door wall and seemed to fall at any moment, and his mind moved.
But he didn't ask what he brought this thing for. Seeing him drinking, he just laughed and walked up to him and said, "Can I borrow two?"
The scar at the corner of the eye still has a faint smell of the ferocious past.
Fang Shaoxing just looked at Gu Juefei like that, and he didn't know if he recognized him or if he didn't know who he was at all. The corners of his eyes were filled with evil spirits, and he didn't say any nonsense. He directly mentioned a wine jar that had not yet been opened. , threw it to him.
Gu Juefei took it in his hand, thanked him, opened the mud seal and took a sip.
Fang Shaoxing raised his eyebrows and asked, "How?"
Gu Juefei only felt that the wine was very strong, and it burned to the bottom of his heart at once, and it burned somewhere deep in his heart, so he looked at the wine for a long time, and said with rare pride: "Good wine!"
"Hahaha, I thought you were weak scholars and couldn't drink."
Fang Shaoxing laughed, and then ignored him, just drinking and looking at the west-sloping sun in the sky, waiting for the hour he was waiting for.
There was no one in front of the Taiji Temple, and no one was held accountable.
Princess Yongning didn't even care where Gu Juefei went, she just thought of Lu Jinxilai again. There is also a man-eating Wei Yi in the harem. don't know if it was disturbed by Gu Juefei's attitude, but she couldn't let it go.
After a little thought, he simply walked towards the Imperial Garden.
In this palace, she has always been unobstructed. Seeing her leaving the table and heading towards the harem, no one would dare to stop her.
The palace servant lifted her up on the shoulders and arrived at the imperial garden in half an hour.
Coincidentally, Lu Jinxi was still near the original corner, and was very lazy. He turned around without taking two steps, just at the corner of the imperial garden.
So Princess Yongning saw her as soon as she came.
Calling someone to press Jianyu, she came down and walked over to Lu Jinxi and asked her, "Are you okay?"
"My niece has seen my aunt."
Lu Jinxi thought she was in the front court and would not go back, but when she first saw her, she was a little surprised, hurriedly bowed before getting up to answer.
"It's fine, nothing happened."
"Wei Yi didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Princess Yongning asked a direct question, and said that she glanced in the direction of Weiyi in front of her.
When Lu Jinxi heard this, she was a little startled.
Why do you think that Princess Yongning's question has a strange smell?
From what Wei Yi said to herself, she could tell that she and Wei Yi had nothing to do with each other, nor did they have any grudges. How could the eldest princess ask this?
She thought secretly, but pretended that she didn't hear anything, and replied in a proper manner: "Concubine Xian is a good lady, and she didn't embarrass her niece."
That's it.
Princess Yongning naturally knew some of the things between Gu Juefei and Wei Yi back then. Now Gu Juefei doesn't know which one is cramping, she wants to marry Lu Jinxi, and she is naturally worried about what Wei Yi will do to Lu Jinxi.
"It's fine. Wei Yi isn't something to be with. Anyway, stay away."
"Yes."
In fact, Lu Jinxi didn't think Wei Yi was so difficult to get along with, but if she really had something with Gu Juefei, and if she couldn't even ask for it, then I'm afraid she really wanted to chop herself up.
After all, others regarded her as a treasure, but she just wanted to sleep, not marry.
What Princess Yongning said should be based on her understanding of the Lu family?
Lu Jinxi didn't refute, but obeyed obediently.
Originally, I didn't have anything to say, but suddenly I remembered something, so I thought about it and said, "Speaking of which, there is something I want to ask my aunt..."
"Huh?" Princess Yongning rarely sees her like this, it's a little strange, "You say."
"Is such that……"
"My aunt also knows that the general once brought home a concubine born to a Hu Ji and named it Xue Tingzhi. Now this son is seventeen or eighteen, and he is familiar with poetry and books."
"It's just that the border was bitter and cold back then, his womb was insufficient, and his legs and feet were sick..."
Lu Jin cherished that Princess Yongning knew about Xue Tingzhi's situation, so she said it simply, and then changed the story.
"According to the imperial examination system of this dynasty, he is disabled and has the blood of the Hu people, so he is not eligible to participate."
"But he was born like this, and he can't practice martial arts. How can he start a family and start a business in the future? His niece pitys him because he has a heart for learning, so I came to ask you for advice. I don't know—"
"Is there a way to accommodate?"
This last sentence is said with extreme caution.
After she finished speaking, she buried her head, looking a little scared for fear of offending something.
Princess Yongning didn't expect that she was going to ask for advice on this matter, and her brows were instantly wrinkled.
She wanted to say that Xue Tingzhi was just a concubine, and it was really not worth her worrying about. But on second thought, this niece rarely asks for help, but now she has the courage to ask herself, she must have thought about it, and really wants to find a way out for this son-in-law.
On the left and right is a concubine, and there is Xue Kuang's blood on his body...
"Hey, I really don't know what to say about you." Princess Yongning finally couldn't hold back a sigh, and said after a moment of indifference, "The imperial examination system is related to the country, and it is not something this palace can decide. If you I really want to ask, I will say something to the emperor for you when I return to the table in a while, it is hard to say whether it is successful or not."
"Thank you auntie!"
Lu Jinxi hurriedly bowed and saluted, as if very grateful.
But Princess Yongning waved her hand and said: "There is nothing to thank, you must know that this palace may not be helping you, or it may be harming you. This son's identity is inherently sensitive, but please ask the emperor to turn back and say no. Lose your temper, and take your anger at the General's Mansion."
"My aunt can help, and my niece is very satisfied, but I want to do my best."
In fact, Lu Jinxi was not worried at all.
Although this Qing'an Emperor Xiao Che was not a monarch of the ages, he was not foolish, not to mention that he had just negotiated peace with the Xiongnu, so he should not be so disgusted with the blood of the foreign race.As long as this matter is mentioned in front of the emperor, it should be the majority.
Princess Yongning didn't take this matter to heart, and didn't think so deeply, she just said: "I asked the emperor first, and if there is news, I will have someone come to hand it to you, don't go too early."
"Yes."
Lu Jinxi responded, and after saying a few more words, she watched the eldest princess Yongning get on the shoulder and go to the front hall.Thinking of the older concubine who was kneeling in front of him that day, he couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
"That's all I can help here..."
Chapter 89
Frankly speaking, Lu Jinxi admires Xue Tingzhi.
A concubine with a foreign blood and a disability, but dared to come before her and put forward the idea of taking part in the imperial examination. In the eyes of others, it can be said to be "risking the world".
