Seeing this, the guards guarding outside the Jiuhua Hall hurriedly pulled out their swords and said coldly: "What person?" Dare to break into Jiuhua Hall at night? ”

The man was silent, but took off his scarf, and the guard bowed respectfully and retreated to his original position.

"Is Dingguo Gong here?" In the room, the emperor said lightly.

"It's Zhan Xintang, the minister wants to see the emperor when he has something, but I don't know if the emperor is now."

"Why did you come so late, I'm almost asleep waiting for you."

Hearing this, Zhan Xintang stepped up the steps, pushed the door open, and the music in the emperor's hand was gently closed, and then glanced at Zhan Xintang.

Zhan Xintang found a seat and sat down, and Grandpa Zhang quickly brought some pastries and two cups of hot tea.

"Dingguo Gong, do you want to give Dingguo Gong's seal to Huafeng?"

"Yes, aren't the people in the court already calling Huafeng Dingguo Gong now? Now only the seal remains. ”

"If Hua Feng succeeds Dingguogong, then who will he hand over the position he still bears now? Your three grandchildren are good, but they are still a little young and need to be experienced. ”

"Then you might as well hand it over to King Rui or King Huai first, King Huai has followed King Rui since he was a child, and he is also a good candidate."

"Guogong, you know, Yi'er is the heir to the throne I set, in order to make him safe, I have to give him the greatest military power, Lao Jiu has Yi'er's discipline, and it is also appropriate to be in charge of military power, but the relationship between the two of them is too good. Lao Jiu's military power is equal to Yi'er's, and I don't want Yi'er to be hurt again. ”

"Your Majesty, I understand your concerns, but the titles of the Duke of Dingguo are all inherited, either by succession or by ......"

"Dingguo Gong, don't talk nonsense, in my heart, you will always be the person I trust the most, your granddaughter Gu Yunxin is very smart, I am very relieved to have her by Yi'er's side." The Emperor said with a smile.

"King Rui is very good to Yun Xin, this time they are at the border and live at home for a few days, and the old minister looks at their relationship very closely."

"Yes, before Yi'er got married, Yi'er rarely smiled, after marrying Yun Xin, his smile became more and more, I thought of a compromise method, since you must let Hua Feng take over, then you will change your title, or Grandpa Guo, how about Zhan Guogong?"

Hearing this, the old man was really helpless, he wanted to retire at home and hold his grandson, why should he continue to manage the military power, the military power of the Zhan family is getting bigger and bigger, and it will only become a thorn in the side of others, a thorn in the flesh.

Even if the emperor trusts the Zhan family very much now, it can't withstand so many people's rumors, if one day the emperor also has suspicion, then, wouldn't it be that the Zhan family is about to die?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not very in accordance with the rules, what does the emperor need the old ministers to do, the order is that if the old ministers are given titles, the other courtiers will definitely ......"

"Then it's better to be like now, it's okay for you to continue to be the Duke of Dingguo with Zhan Huafeng, if you still refuse, then I will be angry."

The Emperor feigned anger.

"Okay, everything is up to the emperor." Zhan Lao Guogong said helplessly.

"I heard that Zhan Huaran's son and daughter also came to Kyoto?"

"Yes, the second daughter-in-law hopes that the child is good, and I, as a grandfather, can't be too partial, right?" Zhan Lao Guogong smiled lightly.

"Well, indeed. In a few days it will be the queen mother's birthday, let them also enter the palace to participate in the banquet, and introduce them to the powerful people in the court, so that they can slowly divide the rights of some people. The emperor said in a deep voice.

Zhan Lao Guogong naturally understood what some of the people in the emperor's mouth meant. Sometimes, Zhan Lao Guogong felt that the emperor was also very pitiful, and the person sitting in that position was destined to be alone.

"Okay."

Three days later is the Queen Mother's birthday, I still remember last year's Queen Mother's birthday, she personally embroidered a hundred longevity pictures to the Queen Mother, and what to send this year, she hasn't thought about it for a while. Thinking about it, Gu Yunxin couldn't help frowning slightly.

Zhan Xinlan saw Gu Yunxin frowning, and couldn't help but come over, "Yunxin, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Sister Xinlan, there are three days left until the Queen Mother's birthday, but I haven't prepared a gift yet."

"What's so difficult about that, why don't we go to a good store in Kyoto and buy a jade bottle or something? I heard that last year, King Xiang and they all bought some rare and ancient paintings to give to the Queen Mother, why should you be so embarrassed? Zhan Xinlan wondered.

"The Queen Mother has never seen any treasures and ancient paintings, and the birthday gift given to the Queen Mother must at least be heartfelt." Gu Yunxin said lightly.

Zhan Xinlan doesn't know why Gu Yunxin is so dedicated to the Queen Mother, and she can have today's happy marriage because the Queen Mother gave her the right to marital autonomy. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will marry that Xiao Zi in this life.

It was night, King Rui and Gu Yunxin were eating in the room, and Zhan Xinlan suddenly ran over, "Yunxin, it's too boring for me to eat alone, can I eat with you?" ”

Waiting for Gu Yunxin to answer, Zhan Xinlan sat down by herself, and then beckoned the maid on the side to take a pair of chopsticks and feasted on it.

King Rui originally had some things he wanted to tell Gu Yunxin, but seeing that Zhan Xinlan was there, he could only swallow the matter back for the time being.

Although Zhan Xinlan is a member of the Zhan family, she grew up at the border after all, and King Rui doesn't know much about her, and he thinks that the three children in the second room of the Zhan family have all returned to Kyoto this time, and it is easy for people in the second room of the Zhan family who are not familiar with the interpersonal relationship in Kyoto to be bought.

"Miss Zhan has been in Kyoto for a few days, and she hasn't been back to see Mrs. Zhan, right?" King Rui didn't look up, but said lightly.

"Not yet, there are too many men in the Dingguo Mansion, and I have a girl's house, which is very inconvenient." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.

A girl's home is inconvenient? This is really a good excuse, according to what she said, when Zhan Xinyue was not married, then why didn't she feel inappropriate

？

"Lady, my husband wants to eat the Longjing shrimp you made, otherwise would you like to make a plate for your husband?" King Rui smiled lightly.

"Okay, I'll go." Gu Yunxin smiled lightly, then got up and took the maid to the small kitchen.

In the dining room, there were only King Rui and Zhan Xinlan left, "Lord, the scenery from your house is very good." ”

"Oh, the scenery of this courtyard is arranged by the king according to the preferences of my lady, if Yun Xin married me, the king's mansion is just some simple trees." King Rui said in a deep voice.

"The prince is really good to Sister Yunxin. It's a pity that the time I spent with Yun Xin was too short, and the relationship between Yun Xin and Sister Xinyue was not as good. I heard that Sister Xinyue became the princess of Xiangyang so quickly, but it was all the credit of Sister Yunxin. ”

"King Xiangyang also relied on his own ability to sit in that position, how could it be controlled by a princess of Yunxin?" Rui Wang said coldly.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and if it does, it will be cut out of the tongue and then sent to the frontier for hard labor. When Zhan Xinlan said this, she simply wanted to push Gu Yunxin into the endless abyss.

King Rui picked up the soup on the table, took two sips and said, "What Miss Zhan Er has in mind, this king naturally knows it, and let you live in, but I don't want Yun Xin to be unhappy." The second lady still has to figure out her identity, otherwise, this king will not be polite. ”

"Did the prince misunderstand something? Xinlan doesn't mean anything else. Zhan Xinlan said with a panicked face.

The night before she came to Kyoto, Mo had a deep conversation with Zhan Xinlan for a few hours, and she asked Zhan Xinlan to gain a firm foothold in Kyoto, and if necessary, she could snatch everything Gu Yunxin had.

Zhan Xinlan couldn't disobey her mother's order, so she proposed to Gu Yunxin on the way back to live in Rui Wangfu, originally thought that Gu Yunxin would not agree, but she didn't expect Gu Yunxin to agree.

"The words of this king naturally mean literally." Raising his eyes, he saw that Gu Yunxin was already walking towards this side, and continued: "In the conversation just now, I don't want Yunxin to know half a word. ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yunxin had already stepped into the dining room, "Didn't you say that you want to eat Longjing shrimp?" After eating so many meals without waiting for the dishes to be served, do you still have the appetite to eat? ”

"I can eat as much as I can, the dishes made by the lady are delicious, I can eat as much as I want." King Rui smiled and picked up a shrimp and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxin smiled slightly, "You, why don't you peel the shrimp shell?" After finishing speaking, Gu Yunxin picked up a shrimp, and his slender fingers peeled off the shrimp shell.

"The lady's cooking skills are really getting better and better." Rui Wang said lightly.

"If you like to eat, I'll make it for you from time to time, okay?"

"I still don't want it, my lady's hands are so tender, how can I be willing to let you cook all the time."

At this moment, Mo Feng walked over outside the door, "Lord Wang......"

If there were usually only King Rui and the princess, she would

Anything can be said directly, but now there is one more guest, yes, guest, there are some things that he must never say.

"Push me to the study." Rui Wang said lightly.

Mo Feng stepped in, pushed King Rui away, and returned to the study, "Lord, the things over there are all the same as you arranged, and now King Pingnan and the crown prince have turned their faces." ”

"That's good, also, let people keep an eye on Zhan Xinlan, if she wants to do anything to the princess, deal with it quietly, don't let the princess know." King Rui said in a deep voice.

"Lord, why don't you tell the princess and let the princess be more careful?" Mo Feng wondered.

Since the prince is suspicious of the Miss Zhan family, why don't you tell the princess directly, Miss Zhan and the princess are often together, if you really want to start, you can't prevent it.

"I don't want the princess to know so many dirty people and things, this young lady of the Zhan family, unlike the princess of Xiangyang, her friendship with the princess is not so deep." King Rui said in a deep voice.

"These are all young ladies of the Zhan family, why is there such a big difference?" Mo Feng shook his head helplessly.

"The Duchess of Dingguo was born in a scholarly family, and she is also very strict in teaching her children, which is different from the daughter of Jiangnan Weaving." Rui Wang said lightly.

Hearing this, Mo Feng pulled the corners of his mouth, this Rui Wang is really unkind to speak, although Jiangnan Weaving has a low official position, but this matter of educating children is not a woman's business?

However, since the prince said it, then he will do it, and they don't want to see the princess sad......
