Chapter 40
It was too insulting for him to stand beside Gu Xiao, and he refused to accept it.
The food in the palace is very good, and he has been nestled in the bedroom for a long time and neglected to exercise.Before he reached the imperial study room, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body, and his breath began to become unstable.
He insisted on walking to the imperial study room, but was stopped by the guards outside.
He Zifan wiped his sweat, raised his hand and raised the wooden box containing the tonic soup, and said with a smile: "I am here to deliver the tonic soup to His Majesty, and I hope this elder brother will be accommodating."
"I don't dare, please wait a moment, I will report to you."
Watching the guards go in, He Zifan carried the wooden box and stared at the surrounding palace in a daze.
After a while, when he heard footsteps, he put on a professional smile and was about to continue inquiring about news from the guard, but he found that standing behind him was Gu Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.
Dazed for a moment, He Zifan quickly put down the wooden box and saluted: "My concubine greets the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"The queen doesn't need to be too polite, didn't she say to bring me tonic soup? It just so happens that I haven't had time to eat, so we might as well go together." As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand with a calm expression, and took the wooden box in his hand Handed it over to Yuanshou who was waiting by his side, and led the people directly to the side hall.
It just so happened that it was lunch time, and the imperial dining room had already prepared lunch, waiting for His Majesty to deliver the meal.
The palace people served meals one after another, Gu Xiao took his hand and let him sit on his right hand, except Yuanshou and Huanchun, the other palace people retreated one after another.
The rules in the palace are strict, and there is no talking when eating or sleeping.The two finished their lunch in silence, Gu Xiao picked up the tonic soup that He Zifan sent, and drank it down in one gulp.
Putting down the jade bowl and wiping the corners of her lips with a bright yellow handkerchief, Gu Xiao asked, "Is there anything else the queen wants to see me for?"
He Zifan raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile: "The concubine hasn't seen His Majesty for a few days, and I really miss him, so I came here 'specially' to say hello to Your Majesty. If there is anything wrong, the concubine really has such a problem here. Yesterday Princess Changle handed over the note, saying that she wanted to enter the palace to pay her respects, but I don't know what His Majesty means..."
"No, there are no relatives of Princess Changle's elders in the palace, and secondly, there is no reason to call her into the palace. If she is handing out the booklet in the future, just press it." Gu Xiao said without thinking.
Judging from Gu Xiao's reaction, the relationship between him and Princess Changle seems to be a bit different from what he thought.
In the book "The World", there is indeed a related description of the princess of Changle.She is one of the male protagonist's harem, and it was Gu Yan who entered the harem later in order to win over Marquis Yongwu.
In the book, Gu Yan doesn't seem to have any feelings for her. She only has a few lines of description in her appearance, and then nothing else...
Since yesterday, the weird feeling of awkwardness in my heart suddenly disappeared following Gu Xiao's words.
The soup has been delivered, the goodwill has been swiped, and the task has been successfully completed.
Just as He Zifan got up and was about to leave, he heard Gu Xiao suddenly say, "That Chen Linger, have you figured out how to settle down?"
I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that there seems to be a slight sourness in Gu Xiao's words.Thinking that this was probably his illusion, He Zifan collected his emotions and quickly replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this concubine is already looking for a suitable person for Ling'er. But this is her lifelong event after all, so it's better for her to see it in person .The concubine is thinking about going out of the palace, and let Linger choose those people in the portrait who are suitable. If there are really selected ones, the concubine will try to find a way to match them."
He Zifan thought he had made it very clear.
He really has nothing to do with Chen Linger, in order to avoid suspicion, he has already started looking for someone for her.
The last time I sneaked out of the palace to meet Chen Linger, my head got hot and I told everything.
After returning to the palace, I felt quite remorseful, and felt that I shouldn't have done this, and should take it step by step and let her accept it slowly.
Chen Ling'er has been weak and sick since she was a child, and her health has always been poor. He was afraid that if Chen Linger was stimulated, something would happen to her body.Therefore, my heart was always up and down, and I couldn't sleep well.
This time Gu Xiao was surprisingly easy-going, not only agreed, but also arranged for him two guards with strong martial arts skills.
He Zifan was very pleasantly surprised, he took his guards and Jing Qiu out of the palace that afternoon, and went straight back to the General's Mansion.
The author has something to say: He Zifan: I always feel that something is wrong?Well, it should be an illusion!

Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: 4 bottle of planetary rice;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The national teacher rescued each other (first update) and asked Fu Bo to arrange two guards. He Zifan and Huanchun went to Xishuang Pavilion with five or six scrolls.But he just stepped...
Let Fu Bo arrange two guards, and He Zifan and Huanchun went to Xishuang Pavilion with five or six scrolls.
But as soon as he stepped into the embroidery building, he was stopped by two strange maids.
One of the round-faced servant girls blessed her body and said in a low voice: "My lord, please stop, Miss is caught in the cold, so it's not suitable to see guests today."
Unexpectedly, his worries came true, and Chen Ling'er really fell ill, which made him feel more guilty.
He Zifan lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "How is sister Linger? Have you ever seen the doctor?"
The servant girl didn't seem to have expected Mr. He to continue to question her. After realizing it, she quickly replied: "Young master, don't worry, this servant has already called the doctor. The doctor said that the young lady has a cold attack and is depressed. Let the young lady take a good rest. Don't worry." Can't be stimulated any more."
As soon as this remark came out, He Zifan understood that Chen Linger's illness was indeed related to that conversation.
Looking down at the painting scrolls in his arms, He Zifan hesitated, wondering if he should show these portraits to her.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you don’t necessarily have to look at portraits.
If it doesn't work, wait for her to recover from her illness and hold a banquet directly in the palace.
At that time, he directly ordered that young talents of the right age be called together and let Ling'er choose by himself.
After thinking it over, He Zifan held the scroll and planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the closed door suddenly opened, and Chen Ling'er, who was wearing a coat, was pale and haggard, her eyes were reddish, as if she had cried.
"Brother He, you are finally here. Ling'er has been waiting for you for a long time." The ending sound trembled slightly, with unspeakable grievances.
The pace of leaving paused slightly, He Zifan turned around and said with a smile: "You are not feeling well, why don't you go in and rest?"
A shallow smile appeared on her pale face, and Chen Linger said in a soft and gentle voice, "My health is fine, brother He doesn't have to worry."
Fearing that she would be blown by the wind and make her condition worse, He Zifan hurried into the house, and then asked his servants to prepare more high-quality charcoal.
To avoid suspicion, Jing Qiu followed into the house and stood beside He Zifan.
Seeing the scrolls in their arms, Chen Linger was quite curious: "Brother He, what are these scrolls for?"
He took a glance without leaving any traces, and made sure that the person looked fine, and then he replied cautiously: "These are the portraits of unmarried young men of the right age in the capital, see if there is anything you like..."
Chen Ling'er's originally pale face instantly turned pale, and she was silent, as if she didn't know how to react.
Fearing that she might misunderstand, He Zifan quickly explained, "Don't worry, Linger, even if our engagement is void, as long as I'm here, He's mansion will be your forever home."
Seeing that Chen Ling'er was still silent, He Zifan continued: "I've thought about it for the past few days, and I plan to recognize you as a 'righteous sister'. In this way, even if you get married in the future, with the backing of the general's mansion, no one will dare to bully you .As for the dowry, you don’t need to worry. As your elder brother, I will help you prepare everything.”
He Zifan spoke dryly, but Chen Linger remained silent.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, before Chen Linger shook her head and smiled wryly: "Brother He may not know, but you and Uncle He have been the ones who have supported me over the years. In order to become a person worthy of Brother He, I have been working hard to study piano and chess. Calligraphy and painting. I even embroider a purse on the Qiqiao Festival every year, and I want to give it to you when I see you."
"Linger..." He Zifan said with a complicated expression.
Chen Linger took a deep breath, covered the tears overflowing from her eyes, sniffed her nose and said in a low voice, "I know I can't compete with him, and I don't want to embarrass Brother He. Linger is just not reconciled, obviously Linger met him first. Hey brother's..."
He Zifan sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say.
He is not the original owner, and he has not experienced those things when he was a child.But he could sense that the original owner in his memory had only brother-sister affection for Chen Ling'er, and had no other intentions.
Otherwise, according to Gu Xiao's personality, as long as the original owner disagrees, Gu Xiao will definitely find a way to resolve this marriage for the sake of General He.
Furthermore, regardless of whether he comes or not, He Zifan will marry Gu Xiao as his wife.The marriage contract between Chen Linger and He Zifan is destined to fail under the guidance of the plot.
After thinking about it, he felt even more distressed about Chen Linger.
"You can't go back to the past. The past is in the past. Now you should look forward. I have kept the portrait. If you have a choice, you can ask Fu Bo to send me a letter, and I will arrange everything for you." .”
Chen Ling'er seemed to have accepted the reality long ago, and nodded silently.
Seeing her pale face, He Zifan didn't stay any longer, and quickly got up to leave.
After leaving Xishuang Pavilion, he went directly to Uncle Fu and told Uncle Fu that he had decided to accept Chen Linger as his adopted sister.
This is nothing more than to let the servants in the mansion know that Chen Ling'er is no longer a guest, but the lady of the general's mansion, and the serious master of the mansion.
Fu Bo has always put the opinion of the little master first, regardless of
