Gu Beichen's cold eyes fell on Princess Pingning, "Whoever I want to sit next to me, do I still need your consent?"
Princess Pingning was so frightened by Gu Beichen's expression that she fell silent, her face suddenly turned pale, and her fingers were tightly grasping the hem of her clothes!
Gu Beichen's eyes fell on An Ruowan again, "Do you want me to say it again?"
An Ruowan walked over generously and sat down next to Gu Beichen, completely ignoring the expressions of other people in the imperial garden.
Although men and women were seated together at the Hundred Flowers Banquet today, they were all seated separately. A woman like An Ruowan who had not left the court, even if she had a man she liked, would not have the courage to sit directly next to him like her. of.
An Ruowan even raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Gu Beichen, "Your Majesty, please."
Gu Beichen actually took the tea cup from her hand and took a sip.
The people around who were watching took a breath. It seemed that Prince Rong really wanted to marry An Ruowan!
The second prince, Gu Qishen, was sitting in the men's table. His eyes fell on Gu Beichen and he snorted coldly, "The emperor's uncle is quite charming and suave, and he has attracted many women to fall in love with him."
"What the third emperor brother said is that now that the emperor's legs have healed up, he is probably getting married not far away." One of the princes said.
The fifth prince, Gu Chenze, sat next to Gu Qishen and said silently, "Uncle Huang's leg has recovered. I'm afraid my father will let Uncle Huang go to the border this time."
Gu Qishen's hands hidden under his robe were tightly held, and he looked at Gu Beichen with hunting hatred.
Gu Chenze, who knew that Gu Qishen wanted to go to the border to claim credit this time, noticed his expression, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and fell silent again.
"The Emperor and the Empress have arrived! Concubine Zhen has arrived!"
Everyone immediately stood up to greet him!
"My maid, I welcome you, Your Majesty, the Queen!"
"I welcome you, Your Majesty, the Queen!"
With a faint smile on his face, the emperor held the queen's hand and sat on the high throne.
After he sat down, his eyes fell on Gu Beichen, "I am very happy to hear that the emperor's leg has recovered recently!"
Gu Beichen stood up and saluted the emperor, "Thank you, brother, for remembering me. Thanks to Miss An, my brother's leg was able to heal so quickly."
The emperor looked at An Ruowan with soft eyes, "Princess Yuanshuang has great love in her heart and has saved the lives of countless people in the capital. The queen and I would like to thank you very much."
An Ruowan stood up quickly to thank her, "This matter must be blessed by His Majesty, so that my daughter can find the prescription and prevent the plague from spreading again."
The emperor nodded, very satisfied with An Ruowan's performance.
Since Princess Zhen sat down, her eyes have been fixed on An Ruowan, with a sneer on her lips from beginning to end.
An Zhining almost bit her lip when she saw An Ruowan being so respected and sitting among the women!
At that time, the emperor mentioned the war at the border.
"Nowadays, we have suffered heavy losses at the border. General Weiyuan is recuperating in the capital and is unable to go on an expedition. I wonder which dear friend is willing to go out on my behalf?"
An Ruowan originally thought that Gu Beichen would speak, but she didn't expect that he would become silent instead.
Thinking of Gu Beichen's request for her to help him, An Ruowan also watched silently.
At this time, Song Xunchuan stood up and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, I know the terrain of the border pass. I have also fought here before and I am very familiar with it. I am willing to lead the troops to fight!"
At this time, Gu Qishen suddenly stood up and said, "Father, my sons and ministers are also willing to share my father's worries!"
…
After the two people stood up, no one spoke in the imperial garden.
The emperor was silent for a long time, and no one stood up again.
"Zitan, don't you want to share my worries?"
Gu Beichen then stood up and said, "Brother Imperial, I haven't led troops in a war for a long time, and my legs have barely recovered, so I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a big position."
"Hey." The emperor looked at Gu Beichen and said, "I don't think so. Your leg injury has healed at this moment. Even God wants you to help me go to the border and win this battle. Are you willing?"
As the emperor said this, An Ruowan suddenly stood up, walked to the table and knelt down in front of the emperor, "If your majesty wants the prince to go, can your daughter also go with the prince?"
"oh?"
Looking at the person kneeling below, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the queen, and then looked at An Ruowan, "You, a woman, also want to go to the border?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please grant me permission!"
An Ruowan's decision caused the young ladies from the aristocratic families present to whisper.
"What kind of limelight does An Ruowan want to do? Is the border a place where a woman like her can go?"
"Isn't it true that she has cured the plague and is addicted to claiming credit? She still wants to go to the border to gain fame."
Some people laughed sarcastically.
"She wants to gain fame? She is just a woman with some medical skills. How could His Majesty let her go!"
The emperor looked at An Ruowan and asked her, "I want to ask you, why do you want to go to the border?"
An Ruowan lowered her eyes calmly and said: "The border is dangerous, and I want to protect the prince. Because I know some medical skills, I can stay at the border to treat the injured soldiers and won't drag everyone down." Hind legs.”
The Queen looked at An Ruowan's soft brows and spoke softly, "I know this child Ruowan is innocent and reliable. Your Majesty, please don't let her down because of her sincerity."
The emperor nodded, "The border issue is urgent, so we will send Zi Tan in command, and Song Xunchuan as deputy commander to protect Prince Rong."
"Wei Chen obeys the order!" Song Xunchuan immediately accepted the order.
Gu Qishen's face became hot when the emperor didn't call him by name. He lowered his head and said, "Father, I also want to share my father's worries."
The emperor looked at Gu Qishen with a faint smile, "You have never been to the border, how can I let you suffer?"
The implication was that Gu Qishen had no intention of going to the border.
He clasped his fists tightly, and after a while, his expression seemed normal, "Father, I also want to ask my uncle for advice..."
"Brother, since the second prince wants to share your worries, I think it would be better to let the second prince accompany me." Gu Beichen said calmly.
The emperor did not hesitate. After listening to Gu Beichen's words, he turned to the second prince and said, "In this case, you can stay with your uncle and just serve as a general."
…
Gu Qishen's silver teeth almost shattered. His status as the second prince actually wanted to become a general!
Even so, he could only endure it and said, "Yes, I accept my order!"
He returned to his seat, and the third prince Gu Qipi said with a smile, "Brother Huang has found a good place to go. He actually went to serve as a general for the uncle of the emperor, hahahahahahahaha."
Gu Qi's voice was not loud and could only be heard by the two of them. Gu Qishen stared at the person next to him with his red eyes and snorted coldly, "I am better than you, the third emperor's brother who only knows how to beg for milk." !”
