Empress Dowager Min had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask any questions, but scolded the prince of Qi fiercely, which made her feel a little angry.

Gu Wanning didn't make a sound, and quietly listened to Empress Dowager Min scolding.

Empress Dowager Min was born in a famous family, grew up in the inner house, and had a soft temperament. The scolding rhetoric is not abundant, and they come and go as "evil thieves", "traitors", "not good deaths" and so on.

Compared with Gu Guanning, whose words are like knives, he can be called gentle.

After scolding, Empress Dowager Min admonished again: "Xiao Rui has committed a heinous felony and must be executed." On the day of the execution, tell the mourners. The mourning family should see it with their own eyes. ”

Gu Guanning nodded and responded.

Empress Dowager Min asked again: "The prince of Dingbei has returned to Beijing, I don't know when the army will arrive in Beijing?"

Speaking of Gu Jinxing, Gu Guanning's mood suddenly improved, and he replied with a smile: "This fashion is on the way, as expected, it should arrive in the capital in half a month." ”

Empress Dowager Min stretched her brows and said with a smile: "Okay, well! It's good to return to Beijing as soon as possible! The prince of Dingbei Hou has made great contributions this time, and he should be rewarded well! The mourning family also wants to meet your maiden brother in person." ”

Gu Wanning responded with a smile: "Okay, when the eldest brother returns to Beijing, I will personally lead him to Cining Palace and say hello to the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Min smiled and nodded.

She cares so much about Guanning, firstly, because of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and secondly, because of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

The daughter-in-law was born in the first general of Daqin, and the brother of the mother's family is so competitive, the Gu family is a pillar of talent, and knows the rules and knows how to advance and retreat, and never publicizes or causes trouble. Such descendants are much stronger than the Min family.

Thinking of the Min family, the Empress Dowager Min couldn't help but babble a few more words: "A few days ago, Duchess Chengen entered the palace to accompany the mourning family to gossip, and specially asked the mourning family. In the future, he will choose a family affair for Da Geer. ”

"Da Ge'er has been naughty since he was a child, but he is also upright. Among the descendants of the Min family, it is also pleasing. The mourning family thought that it was also a good thing to give him a good family affair, so he agreed. ”

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Empress Dowager Min is no exception.

The Min family is her maiden family in the end.

As long as the Min family is honest and does not cause trouble, she, the queen mother, is also willing to take care of her mother's family for a few points.

……

Gu Wanning's smile faded, and his gaze swept over Empress Dowager Min's face.

In just a moment, the doubts in Gu Wanning's heart were gone.

Looking at the appearance of the Empress Dowager Min, she obviously did not understand the "deep meaning" of Duchess Chengen's move.

As the days of wealth go by, the hearts of men grow more greedy. This is the case with the Duchess of Cheng'en. With the glory and wealth of this life, he was not satisfied, so he came up with the idea of letting Princess Min Dashang come......

Hum!

Wish for the moon!

Gu Wanning didn't show the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a gentle smile: "Da Ge'er is the same age as Gillian and Ayi, and he is only eleven years old after the New Year, so it's too early to mention family affairs now." ”

The mourning family said the same thing. ”

Empress Dowager Min didn't hear the meaning of Gu Wanning's words at all, and took over with a smile: "Duchess Chengen said that it doesn't hurt to get married later, it's better to settle the family affairs earlier." lest the good girls be robbed by other people's families. The mourning family thought that this was also reasonable, so he responded. ”

Gu Wanning sneered in his heart.

Duchess Cheng'en meant it so explicitly. The kind-hearted Empress Dowager Min didn't think much about it. Otherwise, if Empress Dowager Min knew that Duchess Cheng'en had the idea of beating Gillian so early, it would be strange not to be angry.

Empress Dowager Min talked about Min Da once, and naturally talked about Gillian and Ayi's family affairs: "Speaking of which, Gillian Ayi is three months older than Da Ge'er." After this year, they will be eleven years old. Although you don't have to be in a hurry, you can look at each other slowly. ”

Gu Guanning smiled slightly: "If I don't hide it from my mother, I have a plan in my heart." After a few years, when they are fourteen years old, they will first make a family decision. ”

Empress Dowager Min's eyes lit up, and she asked with great interest: "Oh, which boy and girl do you fall in love with?" ”

"Queen Mother, don't worry for the time being. Gu Guanning refused to say clearly: "The children are still young, I will observe and pick them slowly, don't worry." ”

Empress Dowager Min was a little disappointed, and after thinking about it, Gu Wanning's words actually revealed a lot of information.

Observe slowly......

is qualified to enter the palace, and often meets Gu Guanning's little girls, and the left and right are just those companions. Except for a few children and grandchildren of the Xiao family, the rest are outstanding children. It's excellent to pick anyone.

Empress Dowager Min thought for a while and smiled: "Ah Yi is the prince, even if the concubine is not satisfactory, she can also marry two side concubines, or accept more concubines." But Gillian must recruit a gentle and good-tempered colt. ”

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "According to the mourning family, Brother Jun is very good." ”

Smart and diligent, studious and polite.

has an outstanding family background, and Gillian is a cousin. It's appropriate no matter how you look at it.

Gu Wanning neither nodded nor shook his head, only smiled: "The child is still young, where can I say it accurately at this time." ”

Empress Dowager Min was very familiar with Gu Wanning's temper, and as soon as she heard the voice, she knew that she also liked Brother Jun, so she laughed: "The mourning family is bored, just talk about it casually to pass the time." In short, when you set up a family affair for Gillian in the future, you have to inform the mourning family in advance. It's not okay if the mourners don't nod. ”

In the half-truths and half-truths, the Empress Dowager Min's incomparable love for Gillian is revealed.

Gu Wanning responded with a smile.

……

In a flash, it was more than half a month.

In the anticipation of everyone, Gu Jinxing, the prince of Dingbei Hou, finally led the border soldiers back to the capital.

The army returned victorious, and the Son of Heaven should have personally welcomed him out of the city.

Because the Son of Heaven was still sick, he was greeted by the prince Xiao Tianyi, and the prince of Wei and the prince of Han accompanied him. The ministers of the court and the central government also followed the prince to the outside of the city to greet the border soldiers who returned triumphantly.

Many years later, Xiao Tianyi recalled the situation on this day and was still shocked.

The border soldiers dressed in armor and riding horses with long knives hanging from their waists under their crotches are solemn and neat. With a murderous aura, the momentum is fierce, and there is an unstoppable momentum.

Gu Jinxing, the chief general of the army on a horse, was wearing black armor, and his cloak of the same color was raised in the wind. The handsome and resolute face exudes majesty, which makes people can't help but feel awe.

According to the rules of Daqin, the main general of the army who wins and leads the army does not need to dismount and salute.

Xiao Tianyi's heart was surging and he was inexplicably excited.

Fortunately, he still remembered the teachings of Luo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward in a dignified manner, and bowed: "Congratulations to General Gu on his victorious return." ”

Gu Jinxing returned the salute on the horse, and then smiled at him: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xiao Tianyi was a little shy.

The official gift of the prince has not yet been held, and he has not been called that for the time being!
