Su Rong glared at Zhou Gu and said nicely that he should come back as soon as possible. It would take a month at the earliest, and he couldn't tell for sure.
She had a sullen face and said nothing.
Zhou Gu hugged her and kissed her gently, bit by bit, like a chicken pecking rice, using all his housekeeping skills to coax her, "I am reluctant to leave the royal capital, but if the three southern states are really a hidden danger, If you don't find out the problem and remove the filth, if it becomes a big mess in the future, you will have to work hard, and if it comes to the point of using troops and horses, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?"
Su Rong naturally understood this in her heart, but it was too sudden and did not give her any time to mentally prepare. She was so angry that she pinched Zhou Gu again, "You said yesterday that at least I have one night to digest it."
What a piece of shit, why did you tell her today, and then say you want to leave? Who wouldn't be angry?
Zhou Guli said, "Didn't I just say that I didn't plan to leave the royal capital today. I just thought about it for a few days. After all, I just discussed it with Sun Lao Shangshu yesterday and had this idea. Who knows what will happen today?" "I saw the news in the newspapers of the three southern states, and I felt that we should make a decision immediately and not delay it for a long time, lest we have long nights and dreams."
He continued to kiss her, "Don't be angry. What's the big deal? I'll leave at night?"
Su Rong pushed him away, "Who is going with you?"
“Midnight, bring the secret guards and travel lightly.”
Su Rong thought that Fengling had entered the court now and was on duty at the Ministry of Works, so he couldn't go. Cui Xingzhi couldn't go either. After Zhou Gu left, someone from the Ministry of Revenue would have to do his work. Zhang Yun couldn't go either. The Ministry of War had a lot of things to do. Logically speaking, the three of them are the most suitable people to follow him, but now they can't leave.
She pondered for a while and then said: "Let Feng Yue and Wan Niang take the people with you. Otherwise, I won't worry about only Ziye and a few secret guards around you. In addition, you go to your grandfather and ask him to send some more Cui family members." Secret guard, with you."
After speaking, she added, "Take Qin Feng with you."
Qin Feng has good medical skills, so if there is something wrong, having a good doctor can make her feel at ease.
Zhou Gu looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "You are so worried about me."
Su Rong was not angry, "Nonsense, if it is as you expected, the three southern states have the Nangong family's trump card, do you think you can handle it with a small number of people? I can't leave the royal capital to be with you, and I don't want to get married. At that time, I couldn’t find my fiancé.”
"That's definitely not the case." Zhou Gu smiled and coaxed him, "Don't worry, I'm still waiting to marry you, so I will naturally protect myself. Okay, I will listen to you. After I leave the palace later, I will go find my grandfather. .”
"You go to Cui Mansion first. After I meet Qin Luan, I will go to Cui Mansion to find you. You will set off again in half a day." Su Rong decided to give herself some time to think about it. Although Zhou Gu had to leave Beijing in a hurry, what should he bring with him? We have to prepare all the things that need to be prepared, and we cannot just let him leave in such a hurry.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhou Gu was very obedient at this time.
Su Rong waved his hand and said, "Get out."
Zhou Gu touched his nose, turned around and left the imperial study.
Although Qin Luan didn't want to meet Zhou Gu alone to say something, she was still stunned by his disregard. It wasn't until she heard someone inviting her in that she adjusted her mood and entered the royal study. Su Rong was sitting in front of the table, looking unhappy.
Qin Luan knelt down and said, "My dearest daughter."
Su Rong nodded, "Have you thought about it? Should you join the imperial court? Or continue to take part in next year's scientific examination?"
"When you enter the court, I would like to thank you for taking the time to promote me." Qin Luan sincerely thanked him. "I know that my talents are limited and my knowledge is limited. I was not able to be named on the gold medal list. I had no chance to enter the court this year, but my wife, you are thinking of me. The gift is my daughter's luck, and I dare not waste the support given by the queen."
Su Rong smiled, "Needless to say, I just read your talent and learning is almost the same as Zhang Xiyun and Sun Keyi. The Ministry of Rites happens to be short of two people. If they can join the Ministry of Rites and become ninth-rank officials, you can naturally promote them. It just so happens. The girls’ school needs someone to supervise it, and I think you are the right person.”
Qin Luan expressed his position, "I will supervise and run the girls' school well, and live up to my concubine's respect."
"Okay, now that you have entered the court, you can just become a minister from now on." Su Rong was not in the mood to talk to Qin Luanduo, "My uncle Xie and Mr. Cui will take care of the supervision of women's schools. I will ask someone to take you to see my uncle Xie. "
Qin Luan nodded, "Yes, I would like to thank you, Madam."
So Su Rong called an internal servant and ordered him to take Qin Luan to see Xie Yuan.
Qin Luan excused herself and walked out of the imperial study. She breathed a sigh of relief. She also noticed that Su Rong seemed to be in a bad mood. It was clear that she and Zhou Gu were still in a good mood when they returned to the imperial study after going to court earlier. , but Zhou Gu and she didn't know what they said in the imperial study room, and his mood seemed to be bad.
She was thinking as she walked forward led by the chambermaid, when she suddenly stopped and suddenly remembered that Su Rong's lipstick seemed to be spent.
"Miss Qin?" The chamberlain asked when he saw her standing there.
Qin Luan woke up with a start and continued walking forward. After a moment, he seemed to ask casually: "Do the concubines and concubines often have quarrels?"
“Huh?” The waiter was confused, “No.”
Qin Luan regretted a little as she spoke. She shouldn't have inquired about the princess and her husband, but when she came across this matter today, she couldn't help but think about it. Now seeing the waiter's expression, she was puzzled.
The chamberlain was surprised, "Where did you hear any rumors? The princess and her husband are getting along well, and there has never been any quarrel."
Qin Luan calmed down. The chamberlains in the palace were all smart people. She had to give a reason. In order not to make people think too much, she whispered truthfully: "It's just now. I paid a visit to the queen. The queen didn't seem to be in a good mood." Okay, but before that, the concubine met the concubine and left in a hurry."
"Hey, this is it." The chamberlain felt that this Miss Qin was from Daliang and had a different relationship with the princess than others, so he didn't mind saying a few more words to her and whispered: "I just came down from court. , probably because of some differences in political opinions due to court affairs. The concubine may just be in a bad mood, it's nothing. Qian'er also scolded everyone in the Ministry of Punishment except the old minister because of a major case. After all, the old minister is old. When the big case happened, the old minister was on leave. The concubine scolded her so fiercely that everyone in the punishment department was so ashamed that they almost buried their heads in the ground. She was so effeminate that she didn't even eat at noon. "
"That's it." Qin Luan was also ashamed, "This is the first time I saw the queen's expression was wrong. I was afraid that I would offend the queen, so I thought more about it. Don't blame me, father-in-law."
Seeing that there was no one around, she took out a piece of silver and gave it to the chamberlain, "My father-in-law, please forgive me, please hide something for me. Next time I won't dare to speculate about the master." (End of this chapter)
