"Brother Royal."
Gu Chenze spoke up to stop the quarrel between the two, "This time when I join the army, the emperor's brother originally intended to train with the emperor's uncle. If the father gives the emperor a high position and goes there, people will definitely talk about it behind his back."
"My father is also doing the best for my brother. After the team returns from a great victory, my father will definitely award the reward again, and it will be justified by then."
Gu Chenze said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother, after all, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for disaster relief, the father did not appoint the Crown Prince to an excessively high official position."
…
Gu Chenze's words were right. Five years ago, when the emperor first appointed the prince to provide disaster relief, he only asked him to go there as an ordinary official.
Thinking of this, Gu Qishen's expression returned to normal, and he looked at Gu Chenze, "Fifth Emperor brother, this trip to the border is a good opportunity to go out and see things. If you want to go, I will ask my father for a request, and he will definitely agree. I’ll take you with me.”
Gu Chenze said with a faint smile, "Brother Emperor, you also know that my mother-in-law is not in good health. What's more, if my body goes to the border, it will definitely become a drag on Brother Emperor. I can't go with him. "
Originally he was just being polite, but when Gu Qishen heard Gu Chenze's words, he narrowed his eyes happily and said, "Don't worry, your imperial concubine's medicine will not be discontinued. Just wait for me to come back."
"Thank you, Second Emperor Brother." Gu Chenze lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
After the state affairs were settled, the emperor invited everyone to drink a glass of wine and let everyone enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. The emperor took the queen and left the imperial garden first.
At this time of year, there were the most diverse varieties of chrysanthemums. After the emperor left, the imperial garden became lively several times.
The young masters of various families and the eldest ladies of the princes and nobles recited poems and wrote poems together, and they were so happy.
Looking at the people reciting poems and having fun in the imperial garden, An Ruowan felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. Now that the people were not out of dire straits, they were actually peaceful.
"Your Majesty, I'm feeling a little depressed and want to go out for a walk."
Gu Beichen raised his chin and motioned for her to leave without caring about her.
An Ruowan silently left the table. The noise behind her gradually became quieter, and she slowly exhaled.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet in front was busy, but the pond and flower pavilion was deserted, which was more in line with her wishes.
An Ruowan simply sat down by the pond in front of the rockery, watching the fish swimming around at the bottom of the clear pond, lost in thought.
However, the sudden voice broke the tranquility!
"Brother Ziqing, it turns out you still remember me. I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago!"
From behind the rockery, an aggrieved woman's voice came.
The woman's meandering and aggrieved voice made the man feel extra pity for her.
"How could I forget you? Even if I forget someone, I can't forget my baby Zhining!"
Frowning in disgust at these words, An Ruowan's eyes narrowed and she did not move.
"You said you haven't forgotten me. Ever since my sister made such a fuss last time, you have rarely seen me. After you came back, I didn't see you coming to see me."
An Zhining's eyes were red with pity, and she raised her head and looked at Mo Ziqing pitifully, "You just know how to lie to me."
Seeing An Zhining like this, Mo Ziqing didn't think of the way she was bullied on the bed.
He felt the blood surge all over his body, and he had the courage to take An Zhining into his arms, "How could I miss you? But if someone discovers that you have secret contacts with me, wouldn't it ruin your reputation!"
"You will always be my wife, but if your reputation is ruined because of my impatience, how can you marry into the Marquis's house?"
An Zhining's face looked a little anxious, "Then how long do I have to wait before brother Ziqing is willing to marry me?"
Mo Ziqing held An Zhining and rolled his eyes, but the thought in his heart was that now it was impossible for her to marry An Zhining as his wife. Now that Wen Xiang Runyu was in his arms, he was reluctant to give up the woman in his arms.
"When I go and talk to my mother, she will always agree."
Mo Ziqing hugged An Zhining and comforted her and said: "If mother really disagrees, then I will not be able to kneel in my mother's room. I only ask her to marry you to me!"
"but……"
As soon as he said his hesitant words, An Zhining's originally smiling face suddenly faded.
She pushed the person in front of her away and raised her loving eyes to look at Mo Ziqing, "But what? If your mother doesn't let you marry me, will you seriously not marry me?"
"how come!"
Mo Ziqing held An Zhining's arm, "If mother really doesn't agree, then I will take you as my concubine first. Don't worry, I will only treat you well for the rest of my life."
Hearing these words, An Ruowan, who was in front of the rockery, sneered in his heart.
The words used by men to deceive others remain the same. They keep deceiving them again and again, and they keep talking the same words.
An Zhining was not that easy to deal with. She heard what Mo Ziqing meant, and her originally affectionate eyes dimmed.
"I can wait. I'll wait for Brother Ziqing for as long as you want."
An Zhining raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen, raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Mo Ziqing, "I can wait, but the baby in my belly can't wait any longer."
"What did you say?!"
What? !
Mo Ziqing was not the only one who was shocked now. An Ruowan couldn't help but be shocked in front of the rockery!
An Zhining is pregnant? !
Most of the color on Mo Ziqing's shocked face had faded. His eyes were fixed on An Zhining's belly, "You...how did you get pregnant...how long have we..."
He said this halfway and did not continue. Mo Ziqing looked around, for fear that someone would listen!
An Ruowan stood up and quietly approached the rockery, listening to the sounds behind the rockery.
An Zhining was stroking her belly gently with her hand, and looked at Mo Ziqing, "The doctor said that it has been more than two months. That time... Brother Ziqing and I happened to be two months ago."
…
"Who else have you told this about?" Mo Ziqing was shocked, but he was also afraid that others would know about it and get him into trouble.
An Zhining's hand that was touching her belly stopped, and she looked at Mo Ziqing's eyes changed, "Brother Ziqing, what do you mean? Is it because he is afraid that he will use this child to blackmail you?"
"Brother Ziqing, don't worry. If you decide not to have this child, then I will raise the child myself and will never cause any trouble to you!"
As he spoke, An Zhining shed two lines of clear tears, covered her face and started crying.
"Sister Zhining, don't cry, that's not what I meant."
Mo Ziqing saw An Zhining crying, and quickly put her in his arms and coaxed her carefully, "Look at you like this, I will feel bad if you cry so much."
"I will find a way to deal with this matter. I will tell my mother when I get back, so that you can marry into the marquis's house with the right matchmaker. But please don't tell anyone else about this matter!"
