Yuan Yi sent Gu Ci home after dinner, Gu Yao invited him to the study with a dark face to speak, and he already knew about it from Gu Yi's mouth. Yuyi left the confinement mother and her three grandchildren, hugged her daughter and rubbed it, ready to talk to her daughter in private, and share it with the Queen Mother tomorrow, and by the way, she will complain.

"Good girl, tell my mother, how about the few little Langjun who got into your car today?"

"I didn't pay attention." The little women who were full of happiness almost couldn't remember what those people looked like.

"Who's there?" Yuyi does not give up and is kind to you.

"I don't know, I didn't ask their names, let the fifth brother or the seventh brother accept this favor."

"You really don't know?"

Gu Ci shook her head sincerely, she felt that she might have caused trouble and was stupid, and she only thought about Yuan Yi after doing something stupid, and the others were pumpkins and potatoes, so she didn't care at all.

"Ganlin!"

Gan Lin flashed in and replied, "It is Qiao Yu Langjun who is in the same place as Wulangjun, and the one who is locked up alone is Wu Shenyang Langjun, the younger brother of the second young lady, and the one caught by Ah Yue is Second Lieutenant Xia Bufan." Then he lowered his eyebrows and stepped back.

"Good daughter, tell your mother what your impression of these people is?"

Gu Ci tried hard to recall, "That's Brother Qi's second brother, I feel that every move is like a ruler, and I don't remember his appearance very well." ”

"What about Xia Bufan?" Yuyi had a good impression of the boy.

"He seems to be good, Ah Yue grabbed him up, he might still want to make a secret weapon or something, but then he realized that he was quiet."

Yuyi let out a sigh of relief.

“…… No wonder I feel a little familiar, Brother Shen Yang is not the same as what he saw when he was a child, but he is a bit like Qijin ......"

Now that the mother is completely out of temper, Gu Ci and Wu Shenqiu's favorite thing to say is that the seven catties are honest!

***********************

The next day, the emperor ordered the king of Hengshan County to issue a decree to level the Yuquan Temple, and Gaoyang continued to be demoted from the county lord to the county lord. Sui Zhangzhu naturally immediately married the small platoon leader, and ten days later, they quickly got married. Yuan Jin and Ke Du's family affairs were also decided as soon as possible. Then the emperor justifiably called Chen Su into the palace, and sighed with him, the child was contaminated with bad habits, which really hurt the heart of the father, and then let him stay in Beijing temporarily to focus on family affairs, take care of family affairs for his daughter, and promised to give Chen Xiangxiang a grace to give marriage.

Although none of them are explicit, no one dares to discount the emperor's words for such a humiliating thing.

The other women involved were ignored for the time being, but the rumors of the fragrant and debauched ladies of the wealthy ladies were always the most popular, and with the help of Gu Yi and Ming Fang, many people deduced various versions of the gathering of the nobles of the Yuquan Temple. As for which families were involved, some people said conclusively that they saw the wives of whom's families enter through the West Gate that day. The family thought about it again, and when the daughter-in-law or concubine came home that day, she dressed differently than when she went out in the morning......

There is only one truth!

***********************

Xiao Lu received a letter sent by his granddaughter that day, and specially returned to Qingyi Yuan from Tiemei Temple to accompany his granddaughter.

Under Gu Ci's pleading hints, Gu Yao also added some impression points to the prince's move of rushing back to protect his daughter as soon as he finished his business with the emperor, and agreed to meet them in Xiao Lu's Bamboo Heart Pavilion.

For the first time, Xiao Shenxian opened the doors and windows of Zhuxin Pavilion and sketched outside, thinking that it would not affect the children's speech, nor would it allow them to be alone. As a result, the cheeky prince Shi Shiran entered the door and closed the doors and windows smoothly, and let Xiao Shenxian blow the wind alone for an afternoon. Xiao Lu, who was furious, drove them away, and was no longer allowed to occupy the Zhuxin Pavilion to do such mundane things as falling in love.

Gu Ci calmed the master afterwards, and cleaned up the Mandi dock where Yuan Yi lived before, and under the cover of the master and the eyes of his parents, he could see each other from time to time.

Although you can only hug and kiss in the Qingyi Courtyard, and you can't do anything else, it's better than not seeing you!

However, today's birthday of the prince, obviously not satisfied with the small fight in Mandiwu, changed her into a scholar's men's clothes, and stole people out to swim in the lake.

Waiting for a pair of little mandarin ducks to sneak out of the West Corner Gate through the stone road in front of Qingyan Zhai, Yuyi took Gu Yao's arm and walked out from behind the shadow wall with Xiao Lu.

"You actually let them out?" Yu Yi said strangely.

"It's as if I'm being unreasonable." Gu Yao smirked unhappily, although he really didn't want to reason with that stinky boy.

"Who said last time that the name was undecided, and it was not good to meet?" Yuyi teased him.

Gu Yao said with a stinky face, "Ah Luan doesn't have any scheming at all, let's not be careful, she is that kid's opponent." "I've been coaxed obediently since I was a child, and I don't know that I've suffered a big loss.

"You're just thinking too complicated." Yuyi comforted her husband, "Ah Luan has always been protected by your father and four brothers, so I don't need to think too much." But when a girl gets married, she relies on her husband, and Brother Yuan is willing to take care of everything for her, which is just right. Other Xiaolangjun, I don't think there are many who can really protect Ah Luan. ”

"That's how bothering to raise a daughter." Xiao Lu smiled emotionally on the side.

***********************

This year's birthday, the prince had the happiest time.

As usual, there was a table of dishes, longevity noodles and birthday cakes made by Gu Ci himself, and after the meal, they hugged each other in the pavilion to bask in the warm sunshine, he drank a little wine, Gu Ci used Xi Qin, and played a song "Sirius" for him. Originally, Gu Ci wanted to try "Happy Birthday Song", but after so many years of ancient aristocratic education, she really felt too out of place, so she had to kill this idea.

The most important thing for the prince is that his baby made him a pair of underwear, shoes and socks with his own hands, and changed them for him with his own hands, during which he did not refuse to steal incense and jade, and he was so well-behaved that he was pitiful. Although Yuyi does not require Gu Ci to embroider, Gu Ci still works hard to save female red skill points, at present, embroidering flowers, sewing clothes, and patching are no problem at all, this kind of underwear and socks that do not need embroidery are easy to make. The shoes are made of slippers style, the bottom is a maid's, and the face is two little Qingluan embroidered by herself. Anyway, if you wear it in the hut of Zhishuangzhai, it doesn't matter if it's ugly.

Yuan Yi really didn't dislike her craftsmanship, and picked up her pair of little tender hands and kissed them one by one, "Hard baby, did you hurt your hands?" ”

"No, I'm just slow."

"I really want to marry you tomorrow!"

Gu Ci giggled, leaning on him crookedly, enjoying intertwining with his lips and tongue. She didn't want to joke about her first marriage in her two lives, and she believed that he was sincere when he said not to take a concubine, since he had this heart at the beginning, it was enough, and the rest of their lives would work together.

"This year's fish scale yarn has a purple one, which is very good, if you embroider a pink peony, you make a close-fitting little clothes to wear, it must be very flattering to the skin color......"

Gu Ci shyly twisted him, "If you do this again, I will let you play chess with me every day!" ”

“…… If I win one and you take one off, that's absolutely fine! ”

***********************

A happy birthday but a bad night.

It was the night when the East Palace was brightly lit, and at the second watch, Donghua Gate rushed out of several fast horses and went straight to the Qingyi Courtyard.

Xiao Lu took the command, Gu Ci changed into the clothes of the chamberlain, and entered the East Palace with the fast horse. There are only three people in the palace: the queen mother, the emperor, and the Ming court.

She rushed into the Jingren Hall of the East Palace in a panic, and the prince lying on the bed was stiff and motionless, sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his expression was angry and painful. She threw herself on Yuan Yi, holding his hand and trembling.

Xiao Lu stepped forward to check the pulse and knock on the chest, and stared at his eyebrows for a long time before he spoke, "The pulse is beating rapidly but it is calm and powerful, not chaotic or decaying, and I can't see anything wrong." The body should be fine, it's more like a nightmare. Then I went to look at the pulse of the previous imperial doctor, and at the same time picked up a pen and wrote a prescription.

The emperor who heard the word 'nightmare' suddenly turned around and went out to spread the word to the king of Runan County, and the queen mother approached the bedside and watched with tears in her eyes.

When Gu Ci heard Master's diagnosis, he kicked off his shoes and sat beside him, calling out softly, 'Brother'. didn't care about comforting the Queen Mother, gently wiped his sweat for him, his hand was held tightly by him, and he didn't make a sound in pain.

Yuan Yi's pain seemed to have eased somewhat.

Gu Ci's tears fell on his face excitedly, and asked Ming Ting to bring a handkerchief soaked in cold water, wipe his bruised neck and undulating chest, and keep talking close to his ears.

This seemed to be effective, and Yuan Yi gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother also picked up a handkerchief and wanted to help wipe it, but found that Yuan Yi unconsciously resisted to dodge and muttered something in her mouth, so she put her mind down and stood by.

Yuan Yi raised his empty left hand and waved it, not knowing what he wanted to do, Ming Ting stepped forward to help and was opened. Gu Zhi put down the handkerchief and held his hand for some reason, and was held in his arms by him.

Seeing this, Xiao Lu blew his beard and glared at him and wanted to prick this stinky boy who took advantage of his granddaughter with a golden needle, and was invited by the Queen Mother, who had put down most of her heart, to drink tea next door. The considerate Ming Ting packed up the wet handkerchief, put tea and snacks at the bedside, and extinguished the giant candles in the hall, leaving only a few in the distance, hanging a few night pearls in the tent, and guarding the door.

Gu Ci didn't pay attention to other people at all, and forgot about his shyness, at first he heard that 'the prince was unconscious', and thought that there was a problem with the food in Zhishuangzhai today, and he regretted himself, but now he knew that it was a nightmare, so he calmed down, gently hugged his ears and temples, and whispered to him from time to time, while listening carefully to what he was saying.

Yuan Yi was in a good mood and missed the little girl to sleep, but he dreamed of all kinds of illusions in his previous life before he died, as if he was addicted to longevity ointment, until he vaguely heard Gu Ci's voice calling him, and he gradually came back to life.

In his previous life, he didn't have a chance to spend this birthday, and he died before dawn.

Consciousness slowly recovered, and the light fragrance of fragrant jasmine mixed with the warm milk fragrance was the taste of Ah Luan.

My cheeks were a little wet, and after a while, drops of water fell one after another. Luan is crying?

I heard 'Brother, wake up quickly and talk to me'. Someone bullied Ah Luan!?

As soon as his hand tightened, he immediately felt a ball of soft and smooth clotted fat in his hand, and hurriedly let go, it must have scratched her.

Gu Ci couldn't take care of the swollen and painful palm, and saw Yuan Yi's eyelashes trembling and his eyebrows frowning slightly from the misty teary eyes, and rubbed his temples for him, "Brother? Are you awake? Where is the discomfort? ”

Yuan Yi opened his eyes with great difficulty, he was dizzy for a while, his brain and forehead were painful, but fortunately, he had a pair of warm and gentle little hands rubbing and massaging.

When Gu Ci saw him wake up, he burst into tears and smiled, and turned his head to call Ming Ting over.

"Don't ......" Yuan Yi's voice was extremely weak.

Gu Ci kissed him on the cheek and said distressedly, "Do you want to drink some water?" ”

"I'm fine." Yuan Yi reluctantly raised his hand to caress her eyebrows, "Don't cry." ”

Gu Ci didn't answer, turned his head to bring the teacup, smelled the smell of tea, frowned and got out of bed to pour water into the thermos bucket with a pot of hot water in the corner.

Yuan Yi relieved her nausea and discomfort, became a little more energetic, and looked at her with tenderness.

Gu Ci wanted to help him up to drink, but unfortunately the people didn't cooperate, and stared at her red lips, implying that the meaning was too obvious, so she had to compromise and feed him.

"You're just ...... Do you want Master to come and see it? Gu Ci asked breathlessly.

"I'm fine." Yuan Yi looked at her affectionately, "Why did you come?" ”

"The emperor sent someone to ask, saying that you are unconscious, the imperial doctor can't find out the reason, and wants to know what you have eaten today......" Recalling the hesitation and guilt of that meeting, her eyes turned red again.

Yuan Yi said distressedly, "You shouldn't have come." There's nothing in the palace to hide......"

"I know, but I'd rather stay with you." The reputation of the crown princess must be innocent, even if she came by the emperor's order today, she will inevitably be talked about.

Yuan Yi asked Gu Ci to lie down in the quilt, she obediently took off her inner coat, leaned her face on his chest, and muttered about the night's horror tonight, she didn't hear him speak, thinking he was tired, "Brother, are you tired?" Rest early. ”

Yuan Yi touched her back, "Don't be tired, you said that the white water just now was taken in the corner of the house?" ”

"Something wrong with the water? What is wrong with you? Gu Ci was taken aback.

"How come, there is nothing unsafe in the East Palace, I just ask." The things in the East Palace are indeed fine, but he rarely drinks tea, especially at night. Ming Court ...... It shouldn't be or can't. However, it is not necessary that someone who has entered this room from the outside tonight......

"Oh. If you still want to drink, call me. Gu Ci was very embarrassed about his grass and trees, stroked his chest, wanted to ask him what nightmare he had and was afraid that he would be uncomfortable again, so he endured it and didn't speak.

Yuan Yi rubbed her waist and abdomen with pity, and the little girl who was scared and tired all night should have slept in seconds, but she looked at him with burning eyes and tangled anxiety, and he couldn't help laughing.

“…… I dreamed that you were sick and incurable, blind and dumb, and died of illness and weakness at the age of three......"

Gu Ci just wanted to refute him, even if he was dumb and blind, he would not be weak enough to die of illness, so he heard his voice low and sad, and continued to say how he betrayed his relatives in his dreams, and suspected and hurt each other with his relatives, so that he accumulated drugs and became addicted to drugs, and ended up desolate.

She was shocked when she heard it, and sighed that she really Su's light shone on the earth, and the first man she fell in love with in two lives was such a reborn emperor attack, a proper male protagonist! On the one hand, I feel that this all-powerful lover who is praised by everyone is actually a cannon fodder prince in Kowloon in his last life, born as a prince, and he was used as a target by the harem women and brothers before he knew anything.

Yuan Yi said as he looked at her nervously and carefully, and as her face of 'this world is so terrible' slowly turned into pity and indignation for him, the anxiety in her heart disappeared, and the hatred and killing intent that had been suppressed and contained were like dust on her sleeves, leaving no trace.

After listening to him, Gu Ci kissed him comfortingly, held his face and said seriously, "Brother, some people say that dreams are reversed, and some people say that no one can step into the same river." It doesn't matter what you do in your dreams, in your previous life, or in another world, it won't affect your current day. What is sown today will reap tomorrow's fruit. You see, here I am, which means that dreams can't come true! ”

"Ah Luan, if I am a person who crawls out of hell and lives again, are you afraid?"

"What is there to be afraid of, it shows that you are the best. It also shows that my vision is too good! "Isn't it just rebirth, sister is a crossover, not to mention it!

Yes, now for him, the most important thing is to live a good life with the little girl, and the other jumping clowns jump out and crush to death, so you don't need to take it to heart.

Yuan Yi hugged Gu Ci and kissed him deeply, lingering as much as possible, and when the extremely tired Gu Ci fell into a deep sleep, the energetic prince couldn't sleep, and began to carefully calculate how to protect the reputation of the little girl, and how tonight's accident should end in the most favorable.

As for the thorough investigation, hmph, that's the emperor's business, just release the tail left before.

***********************

When Gu Ci woke up in Cining Palace, Yuyi looked at her lovingly, the corners of her eyes were red and swollen, and comfortingly asked her to get up and go home quickly. Her face was as red as a peach blossom, and she hurriedly hid in the quilt to put on her close-fitting clothes and middle clothes, although she felt that her body was refreshing and unhindered, if others helped, the traces of her body could not be hidden.

The blue female official said that the Queen Mother was still in the East Palace, Gu Ci's face was as pale as snow when she heard this, thinking that there was something wrong with Yuan Yi, she looked at Yuyi sadly, and wanted to go to the East Palace to see, but she didn't dare to speak. Yuyi ignored her thoughts and took her out of the palace directly. Fortunately, the emperor sent Mingzhuang to send them to Donghua Gate, and he quietly stuffed a note to Gu Ci.

Gu Ci was up and down in her heart, Yuyi led her into Yin Wuju, and retreated from the people, before she took off her cold shell, sat on the soft couch with her, and caressed her face lovingly, "Silly girl, you can't marry Brother Yuan now." ”

“…… Before, you can't...... Married? ”

"Back then, in order to marry Ah Xiao, the imperial brother withstood the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military requirements. Since she and Xu, she has never touched any concubines, regardless of the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, privately warned the people who wanted to marry Ah Tong, and even threw away the major events of the court to chase Langya City in person, for fear that she would find a man from the Xie family and marry casually. I don't know how many people say that she is a disaster......" Yuyi sighed, "She has to marry." But I always hope that you can always have other choices. ”

"Then did Empress Xiao finally agree because she liked the emperor?"

"They are all in the palace, is there a difference?"

"There are still some...... Didn't you give birth to so many children...... If Empress Xiao is still alive, she will definitely be even more uneasy. ”

"There will be no fewer women after Brother Yuan. If you don't really like him, of course my mother supports you to be the crown princess and queen, and my daughter deserves the most honorable position in the world. But if you're sincere, my mother doesn't know if it's good or bad......"

"Since he answered me, there will naturally be a way, at least at this moment he is sincere. As for the future, hasn't my mother always believed in yes? Gu Ci was still very firm, "As long as my brother doesn't want to, he may not be able to meet more women than Yeye." ”

The noble prince doesn't look down on the humble palace maids, and the palace maids can't walk around, and there is never a shortage of people around the prince. Unless you are elected to the palace as a concubine.

But her brother has a very high vision......

Yuyi sneered, "Is he better or are you better?" ”

Gu Ci was suddenly stuck, and immediately remedied, "yes yes good!" That's why I was born so good! My brother has the best vision, that's why he ......."

"Just fell in love with you stupid girl?"

Gu Ci pouted and performed the eighteen skills of coquettishness, "People are not very stupid." ”

"You entered the palace last night, your father and Brother Xi didn't sleep all night, and they entered the palace early this morning to discuss your marriage."

"I, I'll make them longan lingzhi soup to drink later." Gu Ci's eyes were red, she didn't think about anyone else at all last night.

It's too heavy and light on daddy......

"Where's Master?"

"He still needs to stay in the palace for a while."

“…… What's wrong? ”

Looking at her daughter's crying eyes, Yuyi said helplessly, "It's okay, don't worry." Your father is going to pass you under the name of Xie Jiahong. ”

"Huh?!" Gu Ci was a little dizzy by this thunderbolt turn on a sunny day, and the topic changed too quickly to accept it.

This is also what the queen mother means. And it's good for you and for the Protector Mansion. Yuyi comforted her daughter seriously and a little sadly.

After the succession, the four boys of the Gu family are not considered relatives, and the Protectorate Mansion does not need to add another 'Cheng Enbo' that the princess's mother will get, and whether the Xie family wants this title or not, who will inherit this title, Gu Ci has the final say.

"Mother-" Gu Ci cried and threw herself into her arms.

"Your grandmother would be glad if she knew. You are still our child, just add the surname 'Xie' before your name, and the Protector Mansion will always be your home. ”

Not only that, Gu Yao and Yuyi's family are going to move to the Protector Mansion over there, and the Qingyi Mansion may be the County Lord's Mansion or Chengenbo Mansion in the future.

***********************

Gu resigned about the succession, and Gu Ao directly approached Xie Yin in Langya City.

Xie Yin has just finished cleaning up the servants and hired workers under the name of the Xie family, and he is willing to redeem himself for two taels of silver, and if he wants to go back, he will buy it at the market price, and the Zhuangzi shop will handle it the same. These people are no longer included in the Xie family genealogy, they are just ordinary clansmen, and they can set up their own doors to open a new genealogy, but after all, they are still clansmen, and they can go to the three clans that Gu Ci has re-established, and they can also go to the Xie family ancestral hall for weekday sacrifices. Under Gu Ao's new policy and the consideration of studying for children, there are still many people who are willing to do this, and the division is not a spectrum, the ancestors are still a family, but they don't eat in the same pot. In the future, although the benefits of the Xie family will not be touched, they will be able to enjoy it to some extent, and the bad things will not be affected, after all, the Xie family does not have a person who can handle it at present.

Xie Qiang has been hesitating, but his daughter-in-law hates and fears Gu Ci as the head of the family, and keeps persuading Xie Qiang to divide the clan and stand on his own, saying that the family owner's surname is Gu is not surnamed Xie, and when the county lord gets married, what is the surname of the family, and he has been a member of the Xie family for a lifetime, is it possible to give his life to the people who can't beat the eight poles? Even if you want to stick to the heart of the county lord, you can't get around Xie Yin, is it that at this age, you take a few sons and follow Xie Yin's daughters' butts to pick up leaky food to eat? ! ’

Xie Qiang finally divided the sect, hollowed out the last family foundation, and ransomed his land and family.

After the dust settled, the list of industries and the list of subordinates were filed and publicized in the government. As soon as the publicity period ended, Xie Yin received letters from Gu Yao and Gu Ci, and quietly handled the succession with Gu Ao. The patriarch of the clan is all him, no one else, and he also thinks that this is the proper meaning, so the head of the Xie family naturally wants to be surnamed Xie.

As for the others, they are not the Xie family, what is the matter?
