"What do they want?" It wasn't until Li Baolu got into the carriage that she realized that the first wave of people rushing in was from Concubine Lan Gui.

"They don't want us to go to the palace with us," Gu Jingyun looked at the guards outside the car and said indifferently: "But the emperor obviously wants us to be there."

"You have to follow me closely." Li Baolu said seriously, obviously she also felt the difference, she was naturally inferior to others in terms of desperate effort, but she was among the best in terms of running away.

Gu Jingyun also nodded, there are opportunities when there are changes, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.

The summer palace is on the mountain in the outskirts of Beijing, shaded by trees, and the spring water is din-dong, very cool, so every summer the emperor brings a group of important officials here to escape the heat.

The unimportant state affairs will be left in the capital to be decided by the four princes and officials of Jianguo, and the important ones will be sent here for review, but this year the emperor brought the prince and all the princes of Jianguo, which means All state affairs that require him to make decisions will be sent here.

Although it was a bit troublesome, no one dared to speak out when the emperor was ill and in a bad mood.

The palace was built from the top of the mountain all the way down the mountainside, so there are villas standing among the green trees and clear water, the scenery is beautiful, how can others not know, Li Baolu is full of envy, there is nothing wrong with being an emperor, at least there are countless properties, The villas on these mountains are all palaces, and they all belong to the emperor alone!

She lives in another room every day, and she is afraid that she will not be able to live in all these rooms until she dies.

Seeing her full of envy, Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "If you really like it, we will also buy a mountain and build a house for you in the future."

"Is it so beautiful?"

"I prefer natural ones." Gu Jingyun said with a serious face.

"But I don't like the thatched house, the light is not good, the house is low, and it may be damp."

Gu Jingyun took the pen and paper from the small table, drew a few brush strokes, and asked, "What do you think of this?"

"It's too square, and it would be awkward to build in the mountains. Since we want to be more natural, let's build a wooden house..."

The couple were dreaming about their villa when a servant knocked lightly on the car window and said respectfully, "Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, we are here."

Immediately, a servant put down the stool, Li Baolu got out of the car first, and then turned around to help Gu Jingyun down, the two looked up and saw the imperial driver in front of them.

Li Baolu opened her mouth wide and asked in surprise, "We live with the emperor?"

The servant said enviously and flatteringly: "Yes, Director Su allocated a small courtyard to Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu. This kind of treatment is something that His Royal Highness and the Fourth Prince cannot enjoy."

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu looked at each other, calmed down and lived in their small courtyard.

The emperor's residence is at the highest peak, and the security here is the strictest. To get up, you have to go through layers of inspections, and there are guards guarding and patrolling along the way.

The prince and several princes are in the next batch of buildings. Because they are built against the mountain, these buildings are not in a line, but all meander down. Therefore, the respect is first up and down, and then north and south. Evaluate respect and inferiority by orientation and environment.

In the past, when the prince came, the fourth prince was in Beijing to supervise the country. When the fourth prince came, the prince was either sick or locked up. Therefore, there was no dispute about the courtyard under the emperor, but now...

In the end, the Minister of Rites made the final decision, no matter how favored the fourth prince was, at least in terms of status, the prince was much higher than the fourth prince, so the house was assigned to the prince.

The strange thing is that the fourth prince, who has always refused to admit defeat, didn't get angry and find fault, but moved into his yard silently.

Concubine Lan Gui didn't make trouble either, she only glanced at the emperor from a distance today, since the emperor moved into the Palace of Qinzheng, she hadn't seen him for more than two months.

Concubine Lan moved into her own yard, and said to the maid who was close to her, "Let the kitchen prepare a squab, and I will make soup for Your Majesty."

The palace maid pouted, "Your Majesty, you cook soup every day, but His Majesty doesn't drink it..."

"Whether he drinks or not is his business, but whether I stew it or not is my business." Concubine Lan Gui said flatly, "You go and prepare."

The grand lady can only step back.

But at this time, Li An ran to find his father as soon as he stayed, and said in a low voice: "Father, the palace's defenses are a little lax this year..."

The crown prince interrupted him with a raised hand, and said calmly: "Don't worry about this matter, just think that we are here to escape the summer heat, and no matter what we do in the future, we must bring our attendants with us."

The people who wait around Li An are not ordinary people, they are all servants with high kung fu. The success rate of blocking the knife is also higher.

"Then what should my teacher do?"

"It's safest for him to live with your grandfather."

Li Baolu was lying comfortably on a big rock by the stream to enjoy the shade when the forces from all sides were turbulent. They still couldn't go out, but she was happy.

The small yard allocated to them is really small, there are only three rooms, but it is more than enough for the two of them, and they even set aside one room as a study.

The small courtyard is built next to the mountain, and behind it is a cliff. A first-class clear spring gushes from the cliff, washes over the rocks, and then falls down. Below is a deep pool. The overflowing water merges into a small stream and flows through Artificially modified, it will flow through half of the courtyards on the top of the mountain, and then flow down from the rock wall, coiled among the mountains, and flow to the foot of the mountain.

And their house is in front of the big pool, and when the rear window of the study is opened, they can see the clear spring falling like a waterfall.

Although the sound of falling water splashing and running water is a bit noisy, both Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu like it very much.

After riding in the carriage for a whole day, Li Baolu, who was tired and sleepy at first, entered the yard, and the cool water vapor rushed over her face. After she had walked around the small yard, she immediately ran to the stream and found a big rock to lie on and did not move. .

Living in such a place for a long time will cause heavy humidity, which may not be good, but for them who just come to escape the summer heat, being able to live in such a place is no different from a fairyland.

What's more, there are really a lot of flowers planted in the yard by the stream, including the big pool, especially the rare flowers and plants by the pool.

"No wonder the folklore that the current emperor is extravagant. He built such a large palace, so many courtyards, not to mention carved beams and painted buildings, and planted so many rare flowers and trees. In addition to the furniture, it is no wonder that it costs a lot of money. This is what we see. You can’t see the expenses you get.”

The emperor who helped Chief Su to find Gu Jingyun quietly was furious when he heard the words. Li Baolu didn't know it, and thought that the person who came was a palace servant who brought them something, and waved at the door and said loudly: "Come here, go!" Come wash the dishes and fruit."

Li Baolu happily said to Gu Jingyun: "It would be even better if there was ice. We can freeze the fruit and sit by the stream to eat it. It's cool and comfortable. There are no regrets in life."

The emperor turned to the courtyard door with a dark face, and said coldly: "You enjoy it more than I do."

Li Baolu lay on the stone in a daze and looked up, wailing in her heart, it's over, she was caught speaking ill of people behind her back.

Gu Jingyun has already pulled Li Baolu up to salute with quick eyesight.

Director Su took out a futon from somewhere and put it on a rock, and helped the emperor to sit down.

The emperor sat down and took a breath before looking up at the two kneeling people. He stared at Gu Jingyun for a long time, and after making sure that he was not only not thin, but rather fat, he turned his head and asked Li Baolu, "You know there are people outside the courtyard. Still dare to speak ill of me?"

Li Baolu bowed her head depressed and remained silent. Because there is no master in the Eastern Palace, everyone is relatively relaxed. Don't speak ill of the emperor, even the rumors about Concubine Lan Gui are not uncommon in private. She is used to mixing with them, so she accidentally uttered it of.

This time, those who followed them to the palace were still the people from the East Palace. Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu came up by car, but the palace people came up, so it is normal for their footsteps to be heavy.

Who else would come to their small courtyard besides the palace servants who brought them things?

Li Baolu didn't handle things very well, that's why the emperor caught the current situation.

Li Baolu saw the emperor's appearance of breaking the casserole and asking the end, afraid of hurting the palace people, she said: "I heard the footsteps after I finished speaking, so I quickly changed the subject and wanted to dismiss the palace people, but I didn't expect to come His Majesty is the one."

The emperor took a deep look at her, turned his head to look at Gu Jingyun, and asked after a while, "I care about you, do you have any complaints?"

Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "The minister deserves what he deserves, and he has no complaints."

The emperor sneered, "You are honest."

Gu Jingyun's face was calm, the emperor felt more and more uncomfortable, he was so angry, but the people in front of him had no regrets or fear, why?

The emperor really wanted to leave, but thinking of his purpose, he still sat still, "Although your uncle replaced the Kaiping case fifteen years ago, in fact it has never been investigated or closed. If it goes well this time, we should be able to know the secrets of the year."

"Then will His Majesty let my uncle go back to Beijing after the investigation?"

The emperor was silent.

Gu Jingyun looked at him quietly, serious and persistent.

The emperor couldn't stand his gaze, he stood up while supporting Chief Manager Su's hand, and said calmly: "It is true that your Qin family has countless old friends in the court, but there are also many enemies. There will be no fewer people in this world who want to kill you than me. How much, you don't go out when you are in the palace, if I announce you, you can stay by my side. Now the Qin family only has your blood."

Although the emperor was angry and fearful of the Qin family, he didn't want the Qin family to really cut off their children and grandchildren. After all, they were the descendants of his teacher, not to mention that the Qin family had made great contributions to Da Chu.

"Your Majesty, can you take me with you when you announce your husband?" Li Baolu raised her head and looked at him eagerly.

The emperor twitched his lips, "You just said something bad about me..."

"That's all hearsay and rumors are not to be believed," Li Baolu immediately said with a serious face: "Your Majesty is wise and holy, frugal and simple, how could it be as the rumors say, if I can go out of the palace in the future, I will definitely think about it." A way to justify His Majesty's name."

The emperor's face became even darker. He flicked his sleeves and said, "If you are not afraid of death, then follow along."

Li Baolu immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

The emperor let out a soft snort and helped Chief Su to leave, and then sent a team of imperial guards to protect Gu Jingyun. Of course, the name was to guard the other party, and the emperor emphasized that it was enough to protect Gu Jingyun. As for Li Baolu, she should ask for more blessings.

Yes, I am that narrow-minded.
