But Gu Qingchen hasn’t gone anywhere in the past few days.
Not to mention that Yan Zhi was tired of him and was beaten for fifty slaps. He has been recuperating until now, but he can barely get off the ground. Just a big deal that just took over from Yang Palace is enough to make Gu Qingchen frustrated. In addition, he had to worry about the big plan of hiding his shortcomings. How to handle the matter properly without revealing traces has become the most common thing Gu Qingchen has been thinking about in the past few days.
If there is a helper, or if you can cultivate a few confidants, it would be fine. Yanzhi was injured at this moment, and whether it was intentional or unintentional, after his Majesty conferred Gu Qingchen, he seemed to have forgotten that he did not equip Gu Qingchen with the standards that the prince should have according to the rules. Not to mention the official positions of the Chief Secretary and the Doctor, even the Luzhi did not meet the status of the prince. In the huge Zhiyang Palace, there was not even half a eunuch or a palace maid. Gu Qingchen could only do everything himself. At most, Yanzhi helped him to discuss it, make some suggestions, and do some trivial matters that were not too troublesome. Gu Qingchen could only serve as the prince as the prince.
It was because he hadn’t gone to the Shen Palace Supervisor to question it, but he was blocked back by a light saying “Your Majesty has never given an order”. At this point, Gu Qingchen didn’t know how he was secretly injured halfway through. Fortunately, the direct palace supervisor was responsible for the palace cleaning. Gu Qingchen didn’t have to surrender to the nobles and sweep the entire Zhiyang Palace himself. This is a blessing in disgrace.
Yanzhi saw Gu Qingchen busy every day and still had to take his free time. Sometimes he sat down and asked about his well-being, but after a while, he had to be looked for him again. Sometimes he happily brought a bowl of soup or some nourishing food and fed it to her seriously. Sometimes he just sat down but said nothing. Gradually, he finally couldn’t stand it anymore. His heart, who thought he would not be shaken, even though he knew that Gu Qingchen’s tenderness had other meanings, he still indulged in it, and he wanted to heal the slower the injury he suffered, as he was.
But Yanzhi is still rational above everything else after all.
I just sighed, and when Gu Qingchen came to visit her again the next time, he began to give him some advice on how to arrange those things, and how to clear the joints in the palace wherever they are – these things, even though Yan Zhi had been away from the palace for three years, he had been used to similar things in his previous life. As long as he had experienced these things once, the gains and losses in them could be distinguished from his heart. After returning to the palace, he could do them properly.
Although Gu Qingchen was a little regretful, all the things Yanzhi taught him were unreserved and had never hidden their own personal words. As soon as he thought of this, he cheered up again, seriously put aside the idea of trying to impress Yanzhi with tenderness, and began to learn from Yanzhi meticulously.
Such a person is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn. In this small Zhiyang Palace, life is considered stable. Whether it is Gu Qingchen or Yanzhi, neither of them is in a hurry to take the next step. They just know the truth and tug-of-war between them, and they are a little interesting.
But when will there be real stability in the palace? Even if Gu Qingchen had no intention of making a move and was already in this position, he could only bear it even if there was a storm. Besides, Gu Qingchen had the intention to do something. After the emperor came to visit him a few days ago, Gu Qingchen was calm on the surface, but he was so anxious that he didn’t know where he was going. However, even Gu Qingchen could hear some strange winds, the Supreme Lord of Nine Five had not yet reacted.
Just when Gu Qingchen was so anxious that even Yanzhihu was almost seeing something wrong, the order he had to wait for finally arrived.
Although it was different from what he thought, it was the same destination – the emperor issued an order to summon Gu Qingchen to meet in the palace of Yangxin.
Gu Qingchen is still young after all, and even if he is deep in mind, he will inevitably show some joy when he receives the order.
“I’ll be back once I go. Yanzhi, you’ll wait for me to come back in the hall.” Gu Qingchen tried hard to restrain the corners of his mouth that was about to rise and looked at Yanzhi worriedly, “Don’t move around.”
Yanzhi’s thoughts were heard, and the messages he had received from various channels were listed in his mind one by one. He narrowed his pupils slightly, but nodded slightly, looking at Gu Qingchen’s back and walked out of the hall gate.
“Wait–“
Gu Qingchen stopped.
When staying in Zhiyang Hall, for the sake of convenience, it is okay for Gu Qingchen to wear clothes no matter what the ritual system allows. However, even if the emperor is his father, Gu Qingchen must change his clothes properly and change into the prince’s unique vermilion robe. Not only that, even the hairpin and leather belt must be replaced together, and the prince’s standard hairpin guide and jade belt will not be verbalized on these trivial matters or used for any article.
Gu Qingchen tied his hair bun, put the jade bi left by his mother close to his body, checked again in the mirror, and then opened the door and walked out slowly, smiling slightly at the little yellow door that came over to announce the imperial edict.
The little yellow gate glanced at it, said nothing, just lowered his head, and his attitude was so respectful that he could not find any mistakes: “If your highness is ready, let me go.”
Gu Qingchen was not very different and nodded generously: “Please lead the way.”
“You should not be called this.”
The little yellow gate lowered his head and eyebrows, and did not talk much with Gu Qingchen, but just led the way slowly in front. Although he looked ahead, Yu Guang always paid attention to Gu Qingchen’s pace and adjusted his steps with Gu Qingchen’s rhythm. He did not make Gu Qingchen feel uncomfortable at all, as if he was bathed in the spring breeze, very comfortable.
After all, he is the eunuch who works for the Sili Supervisor, even if he is just a little yellow sect, his eyesight and ability to stay out of the matter are of top quality.
Gu Qingchen secretly praised in his heartThe thoughts in his mind turned several times. Thinking back to Yan Zhi’s instructions just now, he was thinking about how to clutter to this little yellow door.
