Yuan Xiang shook his head and said: "Sister, in fact, I also know that as a father, it is normal to have a few concubines and give birth to a few concubines, and it is even more impossible for you to do things that I can't do myself, I ...... I just hope you don't get angry with your mother, and spend more time with her after I leave, so that she doesn't feel too sad. ”

Doudou didn't have much feeling for Gu Chao, he didn't like it, but he couldn't say that he was angry, he just felt that Yuan Xiang was a little fussed, obviously his father didn't say that he was looking for a concubine, he could really think cranky.

She put her little head on Yuan Xiang's pillow and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will not let my father find another woman, huh...... I will also accompany my mother for you. ”

Yuan Xiang only thought that his sister was too young to realize how difficult it was to do this, so he tied the hair next to her little face for her, and didn't take these words to heart.

Doudou yawned comfortably, clicked her mouth a few times and gradually fell asleep, but Yuan Xiang looked at her sweet sleeping face and couldn't fall asleep.

At this time, they didn't think that because of their sister's wish and sister's promise, in the next few years, Doudou would work hard for it, what he would lose, and what he would gain.

※※※※

Gu Chao was even more angry after being dragged out of her daughter's house, but because there were still many people from Xiangyi Yuan around her, she just glared at her husband a few times.

Yuan Zheng originally planned to go back to the study of the outer courtyard to continue to deal with official business, but he also knew that he had to explain some things clearly to Gu Chao today, so he simply dragged her back to Chaoyun Courtyard.

Bihe Hongmian is a smart person, and he knows that the lord and the lady have something to say, and looking at this battle, maybe they will have to quarrel again. In order to avoid suffering from the pond fish, the two withdrew with a group of maids, and soon only the husband and wife were left in the room.

"Yuan Zongzhi, what do you want to do?" Gu Chaoyi shook off Yuan Zheng's hand and asked with red eyes.

Yuan Zheng looked at Gu Chao coldly, Yuan Zongzhi? Shouldn't he feel honored that his wife, after ten years of marrying him, finally remembered her husband's surname Yuan Ming Zhengzi Zongzhi after serving her mother-in-law for a meal?

"I know that you and your mother are still complaining about me. If it weren't for marrying me, with His Majesty's appreciation of you, you would at least be a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy now, and maybe you would be able to become a cabinet minister in a few years, although you are also a second-class now, but you don't even know when you will be able to return to Kyoto. Gu Chao said and slowly walked to the window, his tone gradually calming down.

Yuan Zheng pressed his temples, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of warm water, and drank it all in one go before he said lightly: "Ah Chao, you are always like this, when you talk about business with you, you just talk about the entanglements between children many years ago, and when you talk about family affairs, you start to talk about my future again, is it interesting?" I'll be honest with you, I really don't think I have to be in any cabinet in this life. ”

"Listen to what you mean, don't think about going back to the capital again in my life?" Gu Chao leaned against the window and muttered, with a thick sense of resentment.

Yuan Zheng could naturally understand what she meant, what happened back then Gu Chao not only hated His Majesty, hated the abolished prince, hated him, and even hated Gu Ge Lao, and he always complained that Gu Yunnian, as the first assistant of the cabinet, did not stand up for his daughter.

In the nearly ten years since they left Beijing, Gu Chao really broke off relations with the Gu family, didn't even write a letter to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, didn't pay attention to the eldest brother of the Gu family, and even never contacted his twin sister Gu Xi.

This is Gu Chao, who regards her face as bigger than the sky, and the "return to the capital" in her mouth is not as simple as simply packing up and going to the capital.

In the past ten years, when she dreamed back at midnight, she didn't know how many pillows she had wet, and her heart was full of thoughts that one day she would return to the capital.

However, this scenery must be built on the basis that they can be reused by the emperor, after all, the women that the Gu Dynasty is familiar with, from her mother and sister to her best friends, are either princesses or Mrs. Hou, and those who do not have titles in the palace are all first-class orders, if she does not enter Beijing as a quasi-minister, what will she compare with others?

With a hint of ridicule, he said: "No one will stop you if you want to go back, even if you haven't talked to your father-in-law and mother-in-law for ten years, they will never let you in." "This is not a lie, the old couple of Gu Ge has never stopped caring about Gu Chao, the eldest daughter, but she doesn't appreciate it.

When Gu Chao heard this, he didn't continue to quarrel with him, and bowed his head sullenly and said nothing.

Yuan Zheng stood up and walked to the window, a bright moon had risen in the sky, half-covered by the thin clouds, looking extremely graceful.

"Ah Chao, you are too cold to Yuan'er today." Yuan Zheng has always taken great care of Gu Chao, and he still can't bear to speak if he says ugly words.

"Hehe......" Gu Chao sneered a few times, "So tonight my mother is going to give her anger, and you come to Chaoyun Courtyard with me to worry about this?" ”

"I said before that I don't ask you to treat Yuan'er like Xiang'er, but don't be too ugly on the big picture, to be honest, you disappointed me today." Yuan Zheng turned his head to look at Gu Chao, "Actually, Mother and Yuan'er don't particularly care about your attitude, as long as I approve of it, no one will question Yuan'er's identity as a concubine at all, not even the scheming Mr. Ge." ”

"Yes, you have thought of everything for her, you want her to be the girl of Yuanfu, and you can't let others look down on her because of her identity. Don't you just like me and her face? It's ridiculous, even my own daughter was fascinated. Gu Chao said hatefully.

"Yuan'er's existence has no effect on you at all, and her upbringing has her own mother to worry about." Yuan Zheng paused and continued: "Ah Chao, if I was still in the past, we would definitely go back to the capital, but now is not the time. ”

"The time is the time, and the time is again! Do you have to wait for the emperor...... Wait for someone to change on that chair? If you change someone, you may not be reused! Gu Chao knew that this topic was sensitive, so he deliberately lowered his voice.

"These things are in a hurry, let's be honest with you, at present, my promotion is basically hopeless, and it is unknown whether the official will become smaller and smaller in the future, you have to be mentally prepared." It's hard to say what hasn't happened yet, so we can only hint at it.

"What?" Gu Chao's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it at all.

"In short, no matter where I go, I won't lose half of your mother and daughter, I just hope you can get along with your mother and treat Yuan'er better." Yuan Zheng looked at the confused Gu Chao, so he had to continue: "Ah Chao, there are not many people I care about in this world, and a full fight is just a slap, can you understand what I mean?" ”

Gu Chao nodded blankly, and suddenly said as if he thought of something: "Mama Jin should also come back, and I don't know if I can send Xiang'er in time." ”

It's better to never come back, Yuan Zheng said secretly in his heart, helpless people are pulling the banner of the Queen Mother, and he can only endure it for the time being.
