When Gu Yunjin finished eating the last broad bean, the noise outside the courtyard wall gradually became louder, and she knew that the family of King Nanling had been welcomed into Beijing by the crown prince. The Ronghua Long Street outside the Mansion of the Great General of Zhenguo is the only way for them to pass, and presumably both sides of the road are already crowded with people watching the excitement, after all, such a big scene is not something that can be seen lightly.

The prince of a country welcomes him personally, and it can be imagined how much the emperor and the queen mother attach importance to the Nanling Wang's family, and at the same time, it also makes people see the special status of the Nanling Palace.

And about the Dai family of Nanling Wang, we have to start with the first emperor.

About forty years ago, the first emperor, who was still King Ning at the time, took his wife and children to the fiefdom Nanling, but he did not expect to be robbed and killed by the new emperor who was afraid of his power when he was about to enter the fiefdom, in an attempt to cut the roots of King Ning's lineage and never suffer from future troubles.

King Ning's guards resisted desperately, but they couldn't withstand this long-planned robbery after all. The guards fell one by one, and King Ning was also seriously injured, unable to protect his wife and children. Victory or defeat is a foregone conclusion, and what awaits them will be a cold sword piercing into the body or slashing through the neck, and from then on, they will forever be silent in the history of the Dacheng Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, just when the life of King Ning's family was about to end, they were unexpectedly rescued by Dai Zongqing, the guard of Nanling, and survived.

Later, this matter was found out by the new emperor, and he was extremely angry, and he wanted to punish the Dai family on a trumped-up charge.

There is no way back, no need to go back! Without waiting for the Dai family's charges to be established, King Ning began to fight back.

With the full assistance of the Dai family and his own forces, after seven years of planning, King Ning stepped on the bloody road and ascended to the throne step by step, becoming a great emperor with legendary characteristics in the history of the Dacheng Dynasty.

But for this, the Dai family also paid a huge price. Dai Zongqing's three sons, two of whom became victims of the struggle for imperial power, Mrs. Dai also suffered from illness and bedridden due to years of anxiety and hard work, and Dai Zongqing had gray hair at a young age.

The first emperor was grateful to the Dai family for saving his life and assisting him, so the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to canonize the first and currently the only king with a different surname in the Dacheng Dynasty - Dai Zongqing, the king of Nanling, and gave the Dai family enough trust. Even when the first emperor was dying, he still told the prince to treat the Nanling King and his family well, saying that if there was no Nanling King, there would be no them.

Two years after the death of the first emperor, Dai Zongqing, the king of Nanling, also died of a recurrence of an old injury. Dai Zhuolin, the son of King Nanling, succeeded the prince and became the new King of Nanling.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier. Since the death of Dai Zongqing, the Dai family has withdrawn from the center of power and returned to their fiefdom Nanling, and has never set foot in Shengjing City for more than ten years.

For so many years, the emperor has never summoned the king of Nanling to Beijing. But this time, for the birthday of the Empress Dowager Jiang, the family of King Nanling was summoned to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager.

In this way, the emperor seems to be quite filial.

No one can forget the people who have lived and died together, for example, Empress Dowager Jiang to the family of King Nanling. Back then, when the family of King Nanling was about to leave Beijing, Empress Dowager Jiang had worked hard to keep her many times, but King Nanling was resolute and had to let them leave.

Three days ago, when she accompanied Pan into the palace to present a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager Jiang, almost all of the Empress Dowager Jiang's conversations revolved around the Nanling Wang's family.

Summoning the family of King Nanling to Beijing to celebrate his birthday is undoubtedly a generous gift from the emperor to the Empress Dowager Jiang.

As the noise outside the wall became louder and louder, Yue Liushao's heart became more and more itchy, and she wanted to rush out to see what was going on like other maids. I have heard that the prince of Nanling is extraordinary, noble, red clothes and white hair, and he is a complete demon. I don't know if the rumors are true or not, and I don't know if this person can be worthy of the master.

And Gu Yunjin made a fuss after these things, and he didn't have the heart to read, so he simply closed the book and played on the swing at will, while thinking about his little daughter's family.

Yue Liushao put the porcelain bowl and scroll in his hand back into the room, and then turned back to help the master swing the rope lightly, "Miss, the slave maid heard that this prince of Nanling is only twenty years old and has white hair, do you say that the rumors will be true?" ”

"I haven't seen it again, so where will I know, but since it's all spread like this, there must be no fake." Gu Yunjin tilted his head slightly, his eyes closed slightly, and quietly felt the warm temperature of the sun.

Yue Liushao continued to ask puzzled: "If it's true, why is this happening?" Don't people grow gray hair when they are old? ”

Gu Yunjin said helplessly: "If you ask me, who will I ask?" If you want to know, don't you go out and see for yourself, as they do, than if you ask me? ”

"The slave and maid don't go, the outside must be crowded with people, and even if they go, they can't squeeze in front, and they still can't see anything. The slave maid only hopes that this prince of Nanling can be outstanding, otherwise how can he match the young lady. ”

Gu Yunjin rolled his eyes helplessly towards the clear blue sky: The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, what does it match or not.

However, after listening to Yue Liushao's nagging for a long time, Gu Yunjin also became a little curious about this prince of Nanling, thinking that he was idle anyway, so it was better to take a look. After all, this person is one of the candidates for her future husband, and it doesn't seem good to know nothing.

She rolled her eyes, and soon had an idea, and commanded directly: "Liu Shao, go and let someone move a ladder." ”

Yue Liushao didn't understand what she was going to do, and asked strangely, "What are you doing with the ladder?" ”

"Didn't you say that it was crowded outside and you couldn't see it when you went out? I'm going to step on a ladder and lean on the wall to watch. Gu Yunjin stood up and said as a matter of course.

Yue Liushao was stunned, her mouth involuntarily opened into an egg shape, and when she reacted, she immediately stopped: "Miss, this is not only dangerous, but if it is seen, it will not sound good, how can there be a boudoir lady lying on the wall peeking at a man." ”

Gu Yunjin was almost choked to death by her straightforward words, glared at her with a smile and laughter, and reprimanded: "You are a quick mouth, what are you peeking at men, I am watching the excitement." Hurry up and let people move the ladder, and the team will pass any later. ”

Yue Liushao wanted to persuade again, but saw that the master had walked towards the courtyard wall without looking back, and she knew that it would not be useful to say anything, so she obediently went to find someone to move the ladder.

In fact, she hopes that the master can meet the prince of Nanling as soon as possible, so that the master can have a bottom in his heart and prepare early. If you can see it, wait for the general and his wife to arrange the planning for the master; If you can't look at it, you can also reveal it to the general and his wife in advance, and ask them not to mention this family matter in the future, so as not to end up in the end.

Soon, under the command of Yue Liu, two stout women carried a wooden ladder to the courtyard wall.

After Gu Yunjin instructed them to put the ladder in place, he let them go, leaving only Yue Liushao alone to serve at the scene. This kind of thing, the less people know about it, the better.
