The Gao family's family banquet was held at the beginning of next month, and on this day, the Gao family was lit up and down, and firecrackers rang out, so it was not lively. This is also the most lively and festive day of the Gao family's ancestral house.

The last time I came was when I performed the Weak Crown ceremony, and this time, I brought my daughter-in-law with me. My daughter-in-law is not ordinary, she is the eldest princess of the noble Northern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the Gao family has to salute when they see the eldest princess, even my husband-in-law is no exception, of course, there is one person who does not need it, that is, the uncle, that is, the left prime minister of the dynasty.

The princess of our family gave birth to a pair of sharp teeth, knowing that her uncle is an elder and a left-handed prime minister who is above 10,000 people in the court, even if she sees the queen mother, she doesn't have to bow down, and naturally she won't bow to a little girl. Therefore, in order to give my uncle a justifiable reason not to salute, our princess said, saying:

"Prime Minister Zuo is an elder, humerus in the middle of the court, the Empress Dowager often mentions that the prime minister has worked hard, and now Wan'er has entered the high capital and become the daughter-in-law of the Gao family, the prime minister is both the uncle of the horse and the uncle of Wan'er, it should be the horse and Wan'er to salute the uncle together!"

Look, how knowledgeable and courteous our princess is, how gentle and virtuous she is, coupled with the appearance of this alluring country and city, the size of the Gao family, who is not impressed by her bearing and courage, and who is not envious of me marrying such a wonderful princess?

No, holding the princess's hand, I knelt down with the princess like my uncle to show the respect and love of the younger generations for the elders.

Uncle and his old man were also so happy that they hurriedly asked us to get up, and also prepared red envelopes for us to ask for good luck.

After thanking my uncle and taking the red envelope, I helped the princess to get up, and the two of them sat down at the lower right of the uncle, this position is not something anyone can occupy, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, with the right as the respect, standing on the right, itself is a manifestation of power and status.

I am the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family, the patriarch of this family, and I am married to Her Royal Highness the noble eldest princess.

I glanced at the expressions of the relatives of the Gao family around me, it was a little funny and sluggish, everyone looked at my uncle's eyes, and when I saw my uncle's smiling expression, I knew that this must be my uncle's acquiescence, and everyone began to become respectful, even looking at me, they became reverent and polite.

I can't help but feel a little like laughing, in fact, my uncle did not arrange for us to sit on his right head, but he relied on the old and betrayed the old, and did not salute the princess, but accepted the salute of the princess.

So, naturally, I won't let go of this great opportunity, if I don't take advantage of it, I always feel unbalanced!

The princess beside me held my hand under the table, still smiling on her face, and her tone was very gentle, but she felt that what she said was ridiculing me, and said:

"Master Pony, are you happy?"

The corners of my mouth curled slightly, and I also clenched her hand, and said with a smile:

"Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

I admit that today's banquet is indeed a bit of a fox and a fake tiger, and I will use the princess's authority to create some momentum for me, the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family, so that the group of Gao clan people can see who is the real patriarch of the Gao family.

Now that this is in place, then I have to start planning to get the power into my own hands.

Letting go of the princess's hand, I raised my glass and toasted my uncle's old man, and he was happy to follow me, and after the two salutes, a glass of wine was served, and I deliberately glanced around, and then pretended to be surprised, and asked:

"Uncle, today is the Gao family's family banquet, why haven't I seen Brother Wei and his brother-in-law come over?

When the brother and daughter-in-law were mentioned, the uncle's face was obviously a little displeased, Gao Wei was about to bow the crown, and he had not officially married the lady of the main house, the brother-in-law he said, it was the wife of the partial house that he received, originally from a bad background, and was a maid who served in the study, and the uncle was extremely displeased, because the maid had a son for Gao Weidan, so he reluctantly gave her the position of the lady of the partial house.

According to the consistent tradition of the Gao family, after the eldest son of the Gao family marries a wife, other children of the same generation can marry. And marrying is also a good family, the Gao family is now a hot magnate in the court, and those who can become the daughter-in-law of the Gao family are not princesses, but only the lord of the clan.

Now that the eldest princess is married to me, and the rest of the princesses have already been married, only one is the fifth princess who has only reached the age of ten, she is too young, how to marry? It seems that my uncle intends to choose a county lord to marry Gao Wei among the royal clansmen!

"Today he has to guard in the palace, the man should put his career first, not to mention the heavy responsibility for the safety of the palace, the family banquet is just a trivial matter, another day, it doesn't hurt if the two of you brothers get together!"

I nodded, put down my glass, clenched my fists, and said:

"What my uncle said is very true!"

With that, he sat back in his seat.

I still feel quite emotional in my heart, my uncle's biggest knot is to be a concubine, but he doesn't have the slightest love for the child, Brother Wei doesn't come, but he doesn't let the mother and son come out to meet the guests, and the status of this mother and son in the Gao family can be imagined.

That kid is Gao Wei's eldest son, I remember that his name was Gao Min, counting the time, he should be more than three years old now. I also hugged him when he was born, small, soft, and a milky fragrance, very cute, the silhouette was as handsome as his father at that time, and now he should have grown into a cute boy!

"What are you thinking, so distracted?"

The princess's tone was a little angry, and the good daughter-in-law didn't take care of it, but actually wanted to do something else.

I shook the princess's hand back embarrassedly, poured wine for her, and served vegetables, how affectionate we are in the eyes of others.

"I'm thinking about Gao Wei's eldest son, Gao Min, who should be more than three years old!"

The princess looked at me thoughtfully, and then asked:

"Do colts like children?"

I didn't think about it, but when I thought of Gao Min when he was born, he was small and soft, and he was very cute, so he nodded, thinking that children were also quite cute.

Raising his glass, he was about to drink it down.

"Oh?!, let's have one!"

Burst~

I choked on the half-drunk wine, and my throat hurt to death, and I coughed incessantly.

What do you mean, give birth to one, who will give birth to me, or her? No, if it's not this question, how can we be born?

The daughter-in-law next to me pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly wiped the wine stains with a silk handkerchief, with a caring expression, but the corners of her mouth were a fox sly smile, and said:

"Ah, colt, what's wrong with you, how can you choke on a glass of wine like this?"

I couldn't smile bitterly, and let the princess help me wipe my clothes, but my hand had already unexpectedly wrapped around her slender waist, and her body was slightly stunned, so many people were present, and it was not good to refuse me too obviously.

I looked aggrieved, but the corners of my mouth were smug smiles that I didn't want to hide, and said:

"Princess, princess, spare the pony!"

Hehe, is this his way of begging for mercy? while putting his hands on her, while pretending to be pitiful and gaining sympathy?

The princess smiled, smiling like a spring breeze and rain, and the hand that helped me wipe my clothes naturally moved downstream, and I was a little uncomfortable when she touched my whole body, and finally the hand stopped at my waist, and unceremoniously pinched it, if I hadn't withdrawn my hand and covered my mouth with all my might, I'm afraid I would have to scream.

My face was so red that I slammed my head on the table weakly.

I lost, completely lost, and under her gentle onslaught, I had been killed to the ground, and I was left with only the right thing left to disarm and surrender!

It's really a mountain higher than a mountain......

My actions still attracted the attention of the others, and the princess quickly helped me up, and said with a smile:

"Don't look at you, no matter how happy you are today, you can't drink so much wine, I'll go make you a cup of hangover tea!"

I was confused by the heat, and when I heard her gentle call to me, I couldn't find anything left, so what she said was what she said, and nodded busily in agreement.

After speaking, the princess got up and personally made a cup of hangover tea for me, originally this kind of trivial matter can be done by the next person, but the princess said that she would go in person, this is the responsibility of the wife, this reason came out, and no one dared to say anything anymore, they all looked at me with envy on my horse who was about to 'faint drunk'.

Under the guidance of the servants, the princess went alone in the direction of the kitchen.

The princess made her way past the bustling crowd and into the backyard, which gradually became quieter than the bustle of the banquet grounds.

This is also the first time she has come to the ancestral house of the Gao family, although she does not know where the Gao Qin's study is located, but according to the specifications of this house, it is not difficult to deduce where the study is.

It just so happens that today is a banquet, and most of the people who are usually in charge of taking care of the family and nursing home, and the people who come and go to serve are reporters at the banquet, and the other people, if they want to avoid their ears and eyes, with the skills of the princess, it is easy.

In addition, Gao Wei is guarding the palace today, and if he wants to sneak into the study and steal it, there is no better time than now.

The princess walked cautiously, memorizing the houses and routes along the way, so that she could get out of the way. After passing through several courtyards, I don't know where this is, and I can't hear the noise of the people at the banquet.

It was quiet and seemed to be far away, and the princess thought for a moment that she had gone in the wrong place, and was about to go back the way she had come to look in the other direction.

I just walked a few steps, but I happened to see a child wearing a small scarf and deep clothes, walking in the courtyard and reciting the three-character scripture.

This child is very cute, but he doesn't like to laugh very much, and he looks strict at a young age, and he still recites the three-character scripture while walking, and starts to memorize it again when he gets to the wrong place.

The princess was amused by his naïve appearance, and always felt that the shape of the child was very much like a dull scholar she had known in her childhood.

This kid looks like he's only over three years old, and he's already starting to memorize the three-character scripture?

I only heard the child carry it to "Xi Meng's mother, choose a neighbor." The child does not learn...... If you don't learn ......", you won't be able to memorize it.

"If you don't learn, you won't be able to learn. It is said that when Meng's mother saw her son skipping school, Meng's mother broke the shuttle used for weaving, in order to teach her son not to give up halfway in reading!"

The princess gently reminded that the little one was startled by the visitor, and when she turned around, she saw a beautiful lady looking at her with a gentle face, her little face was flushed, and she thought she had seen the fairy sister in the painting.

But take a closer look at the outfit of this fairy sister, my mother told me that such solemn clothes and ornaments are only available to the lady or the wife in the palace, and when you see it, you have to kneel down and call the mother, so that it is not rude.

"Min'er meets Niangniang!"

As he spoke, the little guy tried very hard to salute his mother properly, but his appearance became more and more cute, which made the princess unbearable.

The princess hurriedly walked over to help the little guy, and helped him gently brush the dust off his trouser legs, looked at this smart child with a smile, and instantly met the child's clear and translucent eyes, the princess couldn't help but sigh slightly, this child's eyes are very similar to the enemy, they are so beautiful and clear!

Min'er? Isn't it Gao Min, the eldest son of Gao Wei that he mentioned? Looking at his age and self-title, it seems that he is undoubtedly him.

This courtyard is very small and remote, and it seems that the situation of the mother and son is not very good.

"How do you know that I should be called a mother?"

"The mother told me that if you see such a dress, you should call your mother so that she will not be rude. ”

This little guy's intelligence is also a little similar to him, but not all court wives are suitable for the title of Niangniang, it is conceivable that his mother was not born noble, but she still knows how to be humble, otherwise, she would not have taught her son to be so courteous.

The princess smiled slightly, took Gao Min's little hand, and asked with a smile:

"Your name is Min'er, right? Min'er, can you tell Sù Niangniang, in what direction is the study?"

Gao Min is still a child, how do you know what it means to be defensive? Moreover, she is still a fairy sister in front of her, and she will answer whatever she asks.

"Over there, next to the library pavilion, there's the study!"

After speaking, Gao Min also pointed in a direction to her.

The princess looked in that direction, and suddenly felt that she had made a mistake, and that she had found it a few more times.

This child is really innocent and lovely, the princess looks at him and likes it more and more, this time it is also thanks to his great help, seeing that he likes to read so much, she gave him a silver makeup knife that he got by chance, the knife can be used to cut paper, and the knife is attached to the tool containing small brushes and ink cartridges, the workmanship is extremely delicate and lovely.

As soon as the princess took it out of her hand, Min'er liked it at a glance.

"Min'er, study hard in the future, and when you have a reputation, you will be able to protect the people you want to protect!"

Gao Min's little head seemed to understand, the princess touched his head, put the silver makeup knife on his little hand, and said with a smile:

"This thing is for you, make an agreement with Niangniang, don't tell anyone about seeing Niangniang today, and neither can your mother!"

Gao Min looked at the silver makeup knife in his hand, then at Niangniang, and nodded with his little head, like a wave drum.

"Then, if the gentleman says, the horse is difficult to chase!"

After speaking, the princess and Gao Min also stamped their seals.

In the courtyard of the compartment, there happened to be a woman's voice calling Gao Min's name, thinking that it must be Gao Min's mother, she hadn't heard the sound of her son reading for a long time, thinking that he was lazy again, called his son, but didn't hear his response, so he hurriedly walked out of the house and came to see his son.

After the princess heard the sound, she pinched the little guy's nose with a smile, and then disappeared into the courtyard with a flash, Xiao Gaomin really thought that she was seeing the fairy sister, and she didn't dare to tell anyone about today's agreement.

The study where the princess was going to go, just about to pass through the courtyard of Gao Min's mother, when he crossed the light skill, he happened to see a woman with a hurried expression, thinking that it was Gao Wei's partial wife, although the appearance is not a national color, but it is also beautiful, I don't know why Gao Wei looked at this woman, between doubts, I saw the woman's eyes, so it seems that Gao Min's eyes seem to be inherited from his mother!

The princess stayed for a moment, and then went in the direction of the study......

I waited for the princess at the wine table for a long time, but I didn't see her come back.

Hehe, how is it possible, although the Gao family is big, it is not as good as the palace or the princess's mansion, how can the princess get lost?

Even so, I still remember it in my heart, and I feel a little uneasy.

Then again, I'm obviously not drunk, why did she say that I was drunk, and she had to go and make me hangover tea in person?

Don't......

I hurriedly made an excuse and left the table, and when I saw that my uncle was having a good conversation with some of the elders, and did not notice this, I boldly pursued the princess in the direction where she went.

This mansion is no longer what it was when I was still there, and I saw the changes in many places, so I didn't dare to move around at will when I returned to the house, for fear of touching something that shouldn't be touched.

Since his uncle Gao Qin became the prime minister of Zuo, in order to protect his safety, in addition to arranging some skilled 'housekeepers', he also cleverly designed some hidden crossbows, and these things have helped his uncle resist many assassinations and assassinations.

When I think of this, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat all over my body, although the princess is skilled, but the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, if something happens to her, I think, I will definitely go crazy!

The princess will come to the Gao family with me, and she must have something to ask for, although I don't know what she wants, but it must be related to her uncle Gao Qin, so the place she is most likely to go to must be her uncle's study!

If she did go to that place, that would be the worst thing, how cunning his uncle was, how could he tie his life to such a clear study, which was a trap he had set to lure the enemy in!

Princess, princess, you must not have any trouble!

I hurried in the direction of the study, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was going crazy, I didn't care about any etiquette, so I ran to the study, and when I saw that in the direction of the study, the drops of bright red and piercing blood bloomed on the floor, and the string that kept me sane seemed to break.

I staggered in the direction of the bloodstains, calling the princess like a dream.

"Princess, princess, princess ......"

I have never felt so frightened and frightened as I do now, I just feel that all the strength of my body has been withdrawn in an instant, I can't stop shaking, my eyes are blurred, tears have flowed uncontrollably, mixed with the blood on the ground, I can't tell whether it is blood or tears......

Dragging his staggering body, he finally stopped at the door of a room, and the blood stopped abruptly outside this room, and I couldn't care so much about it, and pushed the door open, I know, the princess, she must be inside.

Before I could see it, a hand reached out and grabbed me by the collar and dragged me into the room, and the door was closed again.

I was pushed against the door by the man, my back resting on the deadbolt of the door, and the slightest pain made me come to my senses a little. This man leaned on me a little weakly, as if he had used up all the strength of his body with that move just now.

"Princess, princess......"

I didn't have to look at her to know that it was her in my arms, and from the sound of her somewhat rapid breathing, I knew that she was injured, and that the blood on the ground was really hers.

I was a little overwhelmed and tried to hug her, but my whole body was shaking so badly that it seemed that I didn't even listen to my hand.

"You fool, shouting so loudly, are you afraid that those guards won't hear?"

Unexpectedly, this fool was involved......

I didn't dare to say anything, and the hand that stroked the princess's back felt a little wet, and when I took it out, I found that my hands were covered with blood.

The male has a lot of blood, and the male has a lot of blood......

I fell into a state of panic in an instant, my eyes widened, my whole body trembled even more, I gasped heavily, and my mouth was like a magic barrier, repeating repeated:

"Princess, you bleed, you shed a lot of blood......

The princess noticed my strangeness, and thought of the night I had seen me for the first time, and how panicked I had been when I had met a dead man, and knew how afraid I was of blood and of seeing a dead man.

Gao Chen...... You, calm down. ”

The princess lay on top of me, and the arrow feather on the back of her right shoulder pulled at the flesh, and she gasped in pain. The power of this short arrow seems to be different, obviously it is blocked with a hidden weapon, but it is still an arrow that pierces her hidden weapon and hits her back shoulder, if it is not for the hidden weapon to offset the trajectory, I am afraid that at this moment, her life is not her own!

Seeing that I was as if I was enchanted, I was so frightened that I was crying and howling, and the princess felt uncomfortable, but she still stretched out her left hand and slapped me, and with the last bit of strength, said in my ear:

"Backyard...... Door, Ziyu, take me ...... Let's go!"

After saying that, the princess fainted in pain.

I was shaken back by this palm, and then I saw the short arrow behind the princess, now is not the time to make a mistake, I want to protect the princess, I must protect her, I want to take her away!

I pinched my thighs until I broke out in a cold sweat and felt strong in my legs, then I opened the door and I carefully picked up the princess.

Back door, did the princess just say the back door? Could it be that Ziyu is already waiting at the back door?

Since the princess let herself take her to Ziyu, then Ziyu will definitely be able to save her!

As soon as I jumped over the threshold, I almost tripped over, but my hand was still clutching the princess in my arms, and I managed to stand firm, tried to calm down, and found the direction of the back door, and immediately ran over there.

Princess, you must not be fine!

......
