The emperor was furious because of the prince's collaboration with the enemy, so he punished the prince for three months. The prince lost his sacred heart because of this incident, and drank all day long, wasting his years.

But there is no happiest person than Qing'er.

Empress Guo previously asked the emperor to give Qing'er as the prince's concubine, but the matter of the prince's grounding was also over.

But after this time, the emperor made up his mind in his heart.

An idea that even Queen Guo and King Shu couldn't think of.

Because he intends to reuse a person.

With a proclamation, Guo Jiayan, the commander of the forbidden army, came to see him.

Guo Jiayan was dressed in armor, wearing a treasure knife at his waist, with a majestic figure and a radiant look.

The magnificent hall bears witness to the demeanor of the young commander of the forbidden army.

"Subordinate Guo Jiayan see the emperor!"

"Read it!"

The emperor sat on the top of the main hall, smiled deeply, and gestured to Gonggong Chen beside him.

Chen Gonggong held the holy decree in his hand, glanced at Guo Jiayan approvingly, and read: Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the commander of the forbidden army Guo Jiayan, after the Houmen, has both ability and political integrity, quite his grandfather and his father's leading ability, and is now named a general, in charge of the Far Eastern Army.

Chin this.

For this sudden will, Guo Jiayan felt inexplicable for a while, looked at Gonggong Chen in a daze, and then looked at the majestic emperor sitting in front of him, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing Guo Jiayan's stunned expression, the emperor smiled deeply.

"General Guo, don't thank you yet!"

Gonggong Chen signaled Guo Jiayan softly.

"Thank you, Emperor Longen!"

Guo Jiayan received the holy decree in his hand and thanked him.

"Get up!"

The emperor waved his hand lightly.

"Jiayan, in the future, I will hand over the Far Eastern Army to you. Since your father's death, I have been very sad, and the Tang Dynasty has since lost a general who made Siyi timid, but the most regrettable thing is that I have lost my most trusted courtier. What a sad heartache! You have grown up with me since you were a child, and you have always been by my side as the commander of the forbidden army, and I can trust you! I hope you want to be like your father, and don't live up to my high expectations. ”

The emperor handed over the Far Eastern Army to Guo Jiayan, which was equivalent to handing over one-third of the elite army of the Tang Dynasty and the military foundation of the Tang Dynasty to him.

This is a fat gap that many power groups are vying for.

However, the greater the grace given by the emperor, the greater the emperor's authority and suspicion.

For Guo Jiayan, who is not good at scheming, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Is this what General Guo Nuan hoped for on his deathbed?

"The minister must do his best. Live up to your majesty's trust! ”

Guo Jiayan thanked him.

These days have been full of guests for the Guo family, happy and full of gifts.

said that it was a congratulation, but it was nothing more than seeing that Guo Jiayan had been promoted to general, and he wanted to come over to contact and climb the high branches.

But for the eldest princess of Shengping, who has always been low-key and cautious, it is a boring trouble.

Therefore, she ordered the housekeeper to close the door and refuse to see any guest for several days.

Whoever comes, he doesn't care, no matter what kind of squire he is, Zhongshu Ling, Shangshu or something, all of them are treated equally and impartially.

Xiao Cui, who went out to run errands, happened to meet the eldest princess of Shengping who was walking towards her.

Xiao Cui stepped forward and saluted, "Xiao Cui, see Madame!" ”

"Get up!"

The eldest princess of Shengping smiled kindly, "Where is Miss?" Still in the room? ”

"Yes, ma'am, Mademoiselle has been embroidering in her room all afternoon."

Cui replied.

The eldest princess glanced inside the house, "You go, I'll go see Miss!" ”

"Yes!"

Cui leaves.

Guo Wan quietly embroidered peony flowers.

Time passed little by little, but I didn't know it.

If you are too involved in the same thing, it will often be like this.

After a long time, I only felt dizzy and confused.

There is always a limit to concentration, beyond which you will get tired and confused.

Little by little, the past comes to mind, and I think of the past and the fate of the future.

"Ahh

With a bang, I saw that the needle accidentally punctured my finger.

He put his finger between his lips and sucked it in.

"Wan'er, does your hand still hurt?"

Guo Wan looked up at her mother's concerned gaze.

He shook his head lightly and said lightly, "It doesn't hurt."

。

It's just a slight injury on the hand, and it's a little bit more than the pain in my heart.

"When did my mother come, I didn't say anything. Wan'er is rude, I hope my mother will forgive me! ”

As he spoke, he stood up, put his hands together, and bowed lightly.

"Excuse me!"

The eldest princess smiled warmly, "I also just arrived for a while, and I just saw you embroidering, and I didn't bother, so I sat quietly in the back for a while." Let's show my mother how the embroidery is lately. ”

The eldest princess approached, her eyes shining with a satisfied smile, "I think it won't be long before this peony flower will come true!" Wan'er embroidery kung fu is really good! ”

Guo Wan smiled faintly, "That's still good for my mother." Since Wan'er can remember, her mother invited the best embroidery teacher in Hangzhou to teach. Master Yan's teaching, coupled with Wan'er's hard training without leaving home, after a long time, practice makes perfect. Whether you like it or not, the embroidery will not be bad. Is that right? Mother. ”

Guo Wan's words were a lot of gratitude.

But listening closely, there is a hint of complaint.

The eldest princess smiled bitterly.

"What mother wouldn't want her children to be like that? I hope that my children are good, but there will always be two sides to things, and I can take care of this side, but ignore the other side. Since your brother was made a great general, my heart has been filled with joy, but more often than not, with sorrow. ”

"So, Mother closed the door and refused to see any visitors, didn't she?"

Although Guo Wan asked lightly, her flickering eyes revealed more wisdom.

"Your brother is now a general, and his son inherits his father's business. This is the supreme glory of our Guo family. However, the greater the favor given by the emperor, the greater the vigilance and suspicion in the emperor's heart. If you make friends with courtiers at this time, and are passed on by people with a heart, I am afraid that it will become a party for personal gain. Perhaps, the more our Guo family is alone at this time, the safer it will be. ”

The eldest princess's eyes were full of worry.

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Wan's mouth.

"Mother, do you think our Guo family can still be left alone? Grandpa, my father can't, but what about my brother. Mother, don't forget, Queen Guo is my aunt and my father's sister. And I am the future crown princess. This road of imperial power, whether our Guo Jiashen participates or not, cannot be left alone. My aunt is such a wise person, far-sighted, clever and decisive, and now she is more noble as a queen, in charge of the six palaces, and has inextricable connections with the courtiers. How could she let go of such a good foundation of our Guo family. Even a weak female aunt like me will not let go, let alone Brother Jiayan, the general in charge of the Far Eastern Army. ”

The eldest princess looked sad, "What Wan'er said is not unreasonable. In any case, it is difficult for our Guo family to be alone. In the future, if you are involved in the struggle for imperial power, the crown prince will become a prince, and you can worship the marquis, and you will never recover! In any case, it is difficult for our Guo family to be alone, so we can only take the path of the prince. ”

"Why him?"

Guo Wan let out a long sigh, her eyes revealing death-like despair, "What's wrong with our two brothers and sisters?" My brother wants to keep him, and I'm going to marry him. Am I supposed to hate my brother? My own brother? ”

For Guo Wan's thoughts.

The eldest princess knows best.

"Wan'er, don't think too much, it's useless to think too much! After all, your marriage is decided by the emperor, and you are the future crown princess given by the emperor. This cannot be changed. Since the crown prince was banned, it seems that you haven't been to see him for a while, so you should go and see him more! ”

Guo Wan's deep eyes looked into the distance and nodded lightly, "Mother don't worry, Wan'er will go tomorrow." ”
