With the departure of the three princes, the prince's heart was completely eliminated. Words cannot describe the joy of my heart. According to the mood of the prince, even if it is a few days in a row, it is not too much.

However, the prince has always been cautious and low-key, and he must maintain the open-mindedness and decency of the prince. Therefore, such a stupid thing as feasting and celebrating is never done. In front of people, you have to pretend to be reluctant, and do a good job of doing a good job. After enduring it for a few days, I privately invited a few people close to me.

Gu Xinian is of course one of them. Moreover, he has a harmonious relationship with the prince, has a very close relationship, has the best personal relationship, and is the one who is most trusted by the prince.

Dismissed all the subordinates, five or six people raised their glasses and drank freely, and naturally there were not many scruples when they spoke. The words of congratulations were endless, and the prince listened to them very happily, and raised his glass frequently, and soon he had eight points of wine.

Gu Xinian's words were not much, but judging from his smiling eyebrows, his mood was also very comfortable.

The fact that the three princes left Beijing to become a vassal undoubtedly had a huge impact on the pattern of the court. The emperor is still recuperating calmly, the prince is acting as the ruler of the court, and no one can pose a threat to the prince. The people's desire will soon push the crown prince to the highest place. This qiē is just around the corner!

And for him, the deepest shadow in his heart has been completely removed. In the past few days, his whole person has been unusually relaxed.

Seeing that Gu Xinian had been smiling and silent, the prince was immediately dissatisfied, and shouted with a smile: "Don't be alone there in a daze, come and drink quickly!" ”

Gu Xinian happily agreed.

Of course, this kind of wine was enjoyable, and in the end, almost none of them could get up and go home. Fortunately, the prince was prepared. Several rooms were prepared. Gu Xinian had no intention of staying, and insisted on going back: "Qinglan is still waiting for me." I have to go back. ”

The prince smiled dumbly, and the wine surged. Speaking is also free of usual caution: "It's nothing to stay out for the night occasionally, my brother and sister won't be angry with you because of this little thing!" Then her heart is too small! Man, what's the point of always guarding a flower? ”

Gu Xinian said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful the flowers outside are, in my eyes, they can't compare to the one at home." And, there's something you're mistaken. She never asked me to go back to the house every day, I wanted to go back. Staying outside, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep. ”

Speaking of this, the prince knew that he couldn't keep him if he wanted to. sighed a little regretfully: "I originally wanted to have a candle night talk with you." Seeing this, I had to have someone send you home. ”

Who wants to have a night talk with a big man who is full of alcohol! Of course, I went home to accompany my wife and children!

The prince personally sent Gu Xinian out of the house. At this time, it was already a moment of time, and under the cover of night, the prince's mansion was quiet and peaceful. The crown prince and Gu Xinian walked side by side, and asked in a low voice: "That day, the third emperor brother specially called you out to speak, what did you say?" ”

At this time, the prince had clear eyes, and he still looked a little drunk.

Gu Xinian knew that he would ask this question. smiled faintly: "He was unwilling to lose, and he couldn't pull this face to ask you, so he came to ask me." "Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to say everything. No matter how benevolent the prince is, he can't tolerate the dissenting thoughts of the people around him. What he did in secret. The prince must not be allowed to know.

This answer was reasonable, and the prince did not have any doubts, but only asked some more details.

Gu Xinian was prepared. The conversation between the two was repeated. Anyway, the three princes are gone, and the crown prince has no chance to confront the three princes. What you want to say and how you want to say it depends on Gu Xinian's mood.

The prince listened intently for a long time. I didn't hear anything wrong, and I finally put my mind at ease.

What he was most worried about was that the third prince was secretly provoking the relationship between him and Gu Xinian. Governing the country requires capable ministers. He also needs a strong outsider to help him. Therefore, he wants to maintain a good relationship with Gu Xinian

Gu Xinian seemed to see through his thoughts, and suddenly said, "Isn't my cousin still worried about me?" ”

The prince was a little uncomfortable, and explained hurriedly: "Of course not." If I can't trust you, then who else can I trust this courtier? I'm just"

It's just a little bit weak. After all, he had done something sorry for Gu Xinian. In case the third prince maliciously provokes and plants a thorn in Gu Xinian's heart, it will definitely not be a wonderful thing for the monarch and the ministers to be at odds with each other in the future.

Gu Xinian understood the prince's concerns, and smiled and reassured: "Shen Qiuyu's matter has long been in the past. I don't mind at all. Why are you always obsessed? To tell you the truth, the third prince did mention these things that day. However, I didn't answer the conversation at all. ”

At the mention of Shen Qiuyu, the prince's expression suddenly became a little more astringent.

The three words Shen Qiuyu are a thorn in the stalk between them. Even though Shen Qiuyu has been imprisoned in the Grange and can never return to the Prince's Mansion, this name is still the deepest pain in his heart. He also thought about it several times, but he was simply ruthless and let the queen mother attack her. This knot was completely untied.

But no matter what, he can't do it

The prince's hesitation and pain were almost written on his face. Gu Xinian didn't bother to comfort him any more, and he didn't want to discuss anything related to Shen Qiuyu with him: "It's late at night, you should go back and rest." ”

The prince nodded, and at the moment when he saw Gu Xinian leave, he secretly swore in his heart.

Xi Nian, I owe you, and I will definitely double it back to you in the future. I will definitely ensure the peace and glory of everyone in the Guogong Mansion, as well as your first extremely popular minister!

The prince's complex and subtle thoughts, Gu Xinian did not ponder it carefully. When I returned to Izumo Xuan, I saw my gentle and lovely wife with a smile like a flower, and most of the tiredness in my whole body suddenly dissipated. The whole body relaxed.

Ye Qinglan came over with a decanting soup, and said with disgust and intimacy: "Look at you, you are full of wine." Don't always drink so much for entertainment, what should I do if I hurt my body? Pingping and An An are asleep, so don't mess with them. I've never seen you like this father, you're busy all day, and you don't even have much time to hold your child when you come back."

No matter how good Gu Xinian is outside, he can only obediently listen to the training at home. I drank the decanting soup one by one, and went to take a hot bath, and the smell of alcohol finally dissipated a lot.

"The prince specially set up a banquet today, it won't be as simple as just drinking!" Ye Qinglan asked while wiping his back with a warm towel.

Gu Xinian opened his half-closed eyes, and his thin lips were slightly hooked: "The third prince specially talked to me alone before leaving, of course the prince has to ask clearly." There was a hint of mockery in the words.

Compared with the suspicious emperor, the crown prince is already good. Those who can be in the upper position are afraid that the courtiers will have different hearts. Therefore, the prince's questioning tonight is inevitable.

Ye Qinglan quickly figured out the truth: "You didn't tell all the truths, did you!" ”

"Of course you can't say it all." Gu Xinian responded as a matter of course: "Especially the matter of me and General Shen joining forces to design the Three Princes, we must not let him know." Although he is benevolent by nature, no one knows if he will be able to maintain such a temperament after becoming the emperor in the future. If you become wary of me because of this, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

To relive this life, he not only wants revenge, but also has a firm foothold in the court. The trust and affection between him and the crown prince will be his biggest bargaining chip. Therefore, the prince must not be allowed to be suspicious of him.

Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment before sighing lightly: "It's too tiring to be intrigued all day long." ”

The pity and heartbeat in the sigh aroused the softness in Gu Xinian's heart. He stared at Ye Qinglan's delicate face and said softly: "With you always by my side, I am not afraid of being tired." ”

Ye Qinglan's heart swelled with sweetness, and the corners of her lips raised a sweet arc. Leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips: "It's getting better and better at coaxing people." This is a reward for you! ”

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her neck, printed her red lips fiercely, and asked for a deep kiss. It wasn't until she was out of breath after kissing that she let go of her with a wicked smile: "This is interest, I'll reward you when I go back to the room later!" ”

The ridicule and thick hints in the words made Ye Qinglanteng blush, and screwed him fiercely.

Gu Xinian pretended to cry out in pain, and the husband and wife were tired of it for a moment before they got back to the topic.

"Now that the third prince has gone to the domain, the prince has no opponent in the court. In the future, the court should be able to stop a little! Ye Qinglan said with a smile.

Gu Xinian snorted: "If my expectations are good, the emperor should have already moved his mind to pass on the throne." ”

Hearing such an inference, Ye Qinglan was not surprised.

The emperor was bedridden and had been represented by the crown prince. But acting for the government is not a long-term solution after all, and the country cannot be without a monarch for a day. If it goes on like this, the emperor can't pass on the throne if he wants to. Thinking about it further, the emperor's ruthless intention to let the three princes become vassals is probably out of consideration to clear the obstacles for the crown prince's succession!

Ye Qinglan thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever thought that once the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, will he be wary of you in the future because of Shen Qiuyu's affairs?" "When you are a prince, you need a subordinate who is shrewd and capable and good at planning. After ascending the throne, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were available at their fingertips. At that time, will Zhao Qian still trust Gu Xinian so much?

To put it in layman's terms, the prince shouldn't be able to unload the mill and kill the donkey!

With such an obvious meaning, Gu Xinian naturally understood it as soon as he heard it, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why don't you have any confidence in your father-in-law?" Since I dare to help the prince with all my might, of course I am sure that I will not be thrown away at will. There are a lot of things to do in the household department, and since I have become the head of the household department, no one can shake me in the slightest. Within three years, the household department will be a scholar. When the time comes, the position of this household secretary will be better than me. As long as Zhao Qian doesn't faint, he must know that it is more cost-effective to win me over than to suppress me! (To be continued......)
