Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled indifferently: "Thank you grandfather for giving me a year to 'adapt' to court affairs." From today onwards, within a year, I would like to ask my grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother to stop worrying about my family affairs. ”

Gu Xiuhe's thoughts, Gu Xinian naturally knew it. However, such a mention is also in line with his heart. With an extra year, he was able to calmly deploy the arrangement. When the time comes...... Ye Qinglan, the granddaughter-in-law, they can't recognize it if they want to!

The grandparents and grandchildren had their own thoughts, and they all smiled meaningfully.

The Sun family on the side didn't understand Gu Yanhe's thoughts about doing this, and hurriedly glanced at Gu Yanhe.

Gu Yanhe turned a blind eye, chatted casually with Gu Hong and Gu Xinian, and then let them disperse. As soon as Gu Xinian left, Sun opened his mouth anxiously and said, "Wasn't it originally discussed?" This time, no matter what, I had to let Xi Nian nod and agree to this family business, why did he suddenly change his mind again? ”

In vain, it will be delayed for another year!

Gu Yanhe glanced at Sun and said lightly: "You also saw his appearance just now, if you don't use this delaying strategy, do you really think he is willing to listen to you and me?" ”

Sun thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "This Xi Nian, I am really used to having a stinky temper. Whose family's children and relatives are not in charge of the elders, but when they come to him, they fall one by one. We will look at his face, speak and act. His eldest is not small, but he is still not sure of his relatives, not only delaying himself, but also delaying Yongnian's family affairs. ”

The young and the old are orderly, Gu Xinian does not decide on family affairs for a day, and Gu Yongnian has to wait.

Gu Yanhe frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, wait for another year." Fortunately, he has already married a wife and had children in his prime, and it is better to be late in the new year. As for Yongnian, he spends his days idle. If you don't want to work hard in your studies, you won't always be used to him in the future. Restrain his temperament. Don't make people laugh at the fact that our Dingguo Mansion has unscrupulous descendants. ”

Sun immediately spoke for Gu Yongnian: "Yongnian is still young, there is nothing qualitative, it will naturally be fine in the future," paused, and then pulled the topic back to Gu Xinian: "Xinian insists on refusing to get married, could it be that he is still thinking about Qiu Yu's girl!" It's been five years......"

"I'm sorry to mention this." Gu Yanhe glared at her unhappily: "It was all your idea that day, but I only cared about feeling sorry for the prince, so I didn't think that Xi Nian was also a seed of infatuation." For that Shen Qiuyu, it was abandoned for several years. Fortunately, I finally figured it out last year. Ken entered the court. Otherwise, who will we hand over the Dingguo Mansion to in the future? ”

Speaking of this, the Sun family always has a bit of a loss. Sarcastic explanation: "At that time, the prince knelt in front of me and begged me to be fulfilled, where did I refuse. I didn't expect such a big reaction from Hee Nian. ”

If she had known that so many things would happen later, she would not have made such a decision.

The past is not helpful to say. Gu Yanhe quickly put the matter aside and told the Sun family: "Xi Nian is now a serious household servant. Every day the court is busy, and you have to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince to compete in the court, so don't bother him with these things for the time being. ”

Sun reluctantly complied.

In Jingxin Garden, Gu Hongzheng frowned and reprimanded Gu Xinian: "...... You are really getting bolder, and you don't know how to be respectful and humble when talking to your grandfather and grandmother, so you are full of sages. I don't even know filial piety......"

Gu Xinian did not defend himself.

If he really didn't understand any filial piety, he wouldn't compromise to become an official in the court, let alone force himself to get close to the prince.

Empress Gu was born in the Dingguo Mansion. The Dingguo Mansion has long been tied to the prince's boat. If the crown prince is fought, there will be no good ending for the Dingguo Mansion. In his previous life, he was blinded by hatred and turned a blind eye to this fact. Helped the three princes fight across the crown prince, as a result. The cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked, and the third prince turned to attack him again. The beautiful Dingguo Mansion was destroyed almost overnight.

Relive a lifetime. Naturally, he would not make these mistakes again. Even if he doesn't want to see the prince in his heart, he will stand by the prince's side and use the prince's strength to deal with the three princes. This is not only to avenge the revenge of the previous life, but also to protect everyone in the Dingguo Mansion.

It's a pity that only he knows about this, but his family doesn't know anything.

Gu Hong was originally full of anger, but it can be seen that Gu Xinian was silently trained, but he relented a little, sighed and said, "Xinian, I know that you still have a grudge against your grandmother in your heart. But it's been so long, can't you forget it completely? In order not to irritate Gu Xinian, he didn't even mention Shen Qiuyu's name.

Gu Xinian tugged at the corners of his lips, but his eyes were cold: "Father, if I sue you, I have forgotten what my grandmother and the prince did to me, will you believe it?" "One was his most beloved grandmother, and the other was his cousin, whom he regarded as his own brother, but they joined forces to do such a thing behind his back. No matter how much Shen Qiuyu played a role in it, their approach was enough to chill people.

He was never a big-hearted man. For the sake of the future, he can put aside patience and grief for the time being. But he doesn't mind at all, that's impossible. Up to now, he is willing to call his grandmother and the prince his cousin, which is already good.

Gu Hong was speechless. The father and son, with Xiao's faces, confronted each other silently.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to play the round: "Okay, it's not too early, tomorrow will be early, let's rest early!" I'll discuss something later. Anyway, there is still a year to go, and Xi Nian's family affairs are not in a hurry for the time being. As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Xinian again and again.

Gu Xinian opened his mouth to leave, Gu Hong sighed, waved his hand and let him go.

After Gu Xinian left, the couple didn't mention how long they had a beard and a short sigh. only said that Gu Xinian, after returning to Izumo Xuan, stayed in the study alone until midnight, and he didn't sleep for a long time. I don't know what a person is thinking.

Quan Fu waited anxiously outside the study, and finally knocked on the door of the study with the boldness: "Son, it's not early, you should rest."

After a while, Gu Xinian answered.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, before dawn, the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Dingguo Mansion went out of the mansion together to go to the court. In the morning court once every five days, there are inevitably a bunch of things to decide. Officials of the second grade or above are qualified to speak at any time. Those of the third grade and below also have to listen carefully and think about it, in case the emperor suddenly asks questions.

In this way, the spirit was tense until the dispersal of the dynasty, which was almost noon.

The prince was a little tired, but he didn't hide his excitement, patted Gu Xinian's shoulder affectionately, and laughed in a low voice: "Xinian, what you said just now is really wonderful. Compare that money to the waiter. You didn't notice, the third emperor brother couldn't even laugh. ”

That Qian Shilang is a member of the faction of the Three Princes. started the reform of Tian Fu in the court, and wanted to win the praise of the emperor, but he was speechless by Gu Xinian's incisive and sharp remarks, and it became a joke in the court. By the way, the three princes were also disgraced. It's strange that the three princes want to laugh.

Gu Xinian resisted the urge to leave, and smiled quietly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the prize." When the emperor asked about Tian Fu, I naturally wanted to explain it one by one. ”

Tobe Shangshu is not young, and he will retire in two years, pretending to be deaf and dumb on weekdays, and remaining neutral in partisan disputes. Gu Xinian and that Qian Shilang belong to the prince's faction and the third prince's faction respectively, and they fight openly and secretly on weekdays. Today's battle of words in the court is just the tip of the iceberg.

The prince was in a good mood, and warmly asked Gu Xinian to have lunch in the palace before leaving: "...... The queen mother has not seen her for some days, and she always talks about you in front of me these days. It's rare to have time today, let's go to Fengyi Hall together! The two grew up together since childhood, and they have always spoken very casually together, and the prince even omitted to call himself the king.

Gu Xinian wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he smiled and nodded again.

When the prince saw that he had promised so happily, he was naturally happy in his heart.

Since Shen Qiuyu married into the prince's mansion five years ago, the two people who were like brothers in the past have suddenly broken off their relationship. In the past few years, although I have been very happy to be accompanied by beautiful women, every time I think of it, my heart is quite uncomfortable. Now, though, it's finally good. The two regained their former intimacy—or so he thought. Gu Xinian is not only a powerful helper for him, but also a close brother, and the two have almost nothing to talk about.

It's just that the name Shen Qiuyu has naturally become taboo. The two had a tacit understanding and kept silent.

Gu Xinian glanced at the radiant and happy prince out of the corner of his eye, and secretly sneered in his heart. No one knows Zhao Yan's temperament better than him, he is more than generous, but his ability is very mediocre, and his ears are soft. Compared with the shrewd third prince, it is really more than a step behind. If it weren't for the advantage of the eldest son, he would not be the opponent of the three princes at all.

However, for him, the more mediocre the prince, the better. Otherwise, Empress Gu would not have relied on him so much......

"Cousin," Gu Xinian smiled and changed his title, looking very intimate and casual: "Brother Ming is white and fat, can you hold it?" ”

This slightly joking remark quickly narrowed the distance between the two. The prince is a father for the first time, and he is naturally happy when he mentions Brother Ming: "Don't underestimate me, every day when I go home, I have to hug me for a while." ”

When mentioning Brother Ming, it is inevitable to mention Brother Ming'er's biological mother, Concubine Lin. Gu Xinian quietly tentatively said: "My cousin-in-law's health is not very good, and I am afraid that it is a little difficult to take care of Brother Ming." Lin is Brother Ming's biological mother, and if they take care of Brother Ming together, their cousin-in-law can also breathe a sigh of relief. ”

The prince did not doubt him, and smiled casually: "I have never asked about these trivial things in the house. It's up to your cousin to arrange it. ”
