Abu sighed in his heart, this young master is no longer the cold-faced young master he used to be, but he is still so cold to me. Before leaving, he glanced at the wine gratefully, and the wine nodded lightly,

By the way, Uncle Xiao, there are drums on the street tonight to drive away the epidemic, and there will be lanterns, do you want to see it? Jiujiu looked at Abu and asked after looking at Gu Chenghong.

Gu Chenghong looked at the wine in his eyes full of anticipation, and said softly: "Huh? Do you want to go? ”

"Hey, hey." Jiujiu smiled and lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and whispered: "I want to go and see, I didn't go to see it last year, but I still want to accompany my little uncle more." ”

"Huh? What the? The sound of wine became smaller and smaller, and Gu Chenghong behind him didn't hear it clearly.

"No, it's nothing, it's just, I just want to go and see it with my uncle." Jiujiu hurriedly raised his head and said, and after speaking, he glanced at Gu Chenghong with some embarrassment and asked, "Has my little uncle seen it on the street?" ”

Gu Chenghong wanted to laugh in his heart, he knew that the little girl was nervous again, and she was a little stumbling when she was nervous, he pursed his mouth, raised his hand and refilled the wine with tea, in fact, these should be made by the green basket, she wanted to step forward, Gu Chenghong waved her hand, and she had to retreat again.

Jiujiu saw the teacup in front of him pick up and take a sip, swallowed and foamed again, felt better, and suppressed his nervousness.

Gu Chenghong said lightly: "I've seen it, but it's been a long time ago." He had emotions in his eyes that no one could see through.

"Oh." Jiujiu looked up at Gu Chenghong suspiciously: "Then, does the little uncle like it?" ”

Gu Chenghong's eyes revealed a tenderness, and he remembered that in the bustling streets of the capital, he rode on his father's back and watched the drumming with his mother.

Jiujiu felt that although Gu Chenghong was looking at him, his eyes didn't seem to be in him.

Gu Chenghong retracted his thoughts, and Jiujiu seemed to see a trace of pain flash in Gu Chenghong's eyes, and he returned to his usual expression in an instant.

The wine felt like he might have seen it wrong.

Gu Chenghong said lightly: "That's all a child's thing. ”

"Uncle, let's go to the street to watch the drums and lanterns, right?" Jiujiu looked at Gu Chenghong expectantly.

Gu Chenghong quietly looked at the little girl opposite, her thin lips opened and closed, and a nice voice came: "I can't go." ”

Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head with a hint of loss on his face.

"If you want to go, go home early and catch up with your father and mother to take you." Gu Chenghong's beautiful voice came.

Jiujiu raised his head and shook his head with a smile, "No, little uncle, I just wanted to accompany you." ”

There must be loss, thinking that I can take my uncle to the street to play, but it's nothing if I can't go, I just thought about coming to accompany my uncle.

Gu Chenghong said with tenderness in his tone: "Go, the street is lively today, wait for the next time your uncle will accompany you." ”

"Really?" There was happiness in the wine's tone. His eyes were shining and he looked at Gu Chenghong.

"Hmm." Gu Chenghong nodded: "Go ahead." ”

"Then the little uncle must be the talker." Jiujiu looked at Gu Chenghong with a smile.

Gu Chenghong looked at the little girl with a cunning gaze in front of him and felt soft in his heart, "Okay." ”

Liquor smiled.

Gu Chenghong glanced at the green basket behind him, the green basket hurriedly came over, and Jiujiu also got up and put on the cloak handed over by the green basket.

Although he didn't accompany his uncle, he promised to go to the street together next time.

"Uncle, then I'm leaving, I, I'll go back and tell you what's interesting on the street."

"Hmm." Gu Chenghong nodded.

Jiujiu looked at Gu Chenghong with a smile on his face, turned around and followed Abu out.

Gu Chenghong watched the little girl walk out with light and cheerful steps, and suddenly felt that the loss on the little girl's face just now was just a moment.

The room instantly became quiet again, and then a black shadow appeared: "Young master, there's a letter from there, Beiyan is coming to kiss." As he spoke, he handed the letter to Gu Chenghong.

Gu Chenghong took it and opened it, looking at the contents of the letter and frowning.

"Beiyan, this is prepared." He spoke lightly.

"Young master, this is a hot potato, I don't know which prince I will be with." Mu Ying returned.

Gu Chenghong put down the letter in his hand and sneered: "The emperor is going to start weighing again." ”

Gu Chenghong frowned, and there was coldness in his eyes: "It was written in the letter that the news from Beiyan was that this princess was still unfavorable. ”

Mu Ying frowned when she heard this: "This prince already has a concubine, there is still one side concubine, the second prince does not have a concubine, and there is one side concubine left, Young Master Yun's position as a concubine and a side concubine is empty, this emperor will not~"

"No, although it is not favored, but the old emperor is suspicious or taboo, and Beiyan is gradually becoming stronger, no matter which prince he gives it to, he is afraid of having different intentions. In addition, Ah Yun is a sick seedling, and Beiyan will not agree.

The crown prince and the second prince didn't dare to ask for it on the surface, for fear that there would be a barrier, and they would not be willing to let Ah Yun marry them. Gu Chenghong said lightly.

"And this?" Mu Ying looked at Gu Chenghong suspiciously.

There was a sneer on the corner of Gu Chenghong's mouth: "This hot potato will be given to the second prince, I am afraid that the position of the side concubine will not be able to satisfy Beiyan's ambitions, let the old emperor go in his heart." ”

"In this way, the crown prince will definitely regard the second prince as a thorn in his side." Mu Ying's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then asked, "How do you prepare?" ”

Gu Chenghong's slender and white fingers clasped the table: "What he likes in his heart is the prince, the second prince is just a trade-off he uses, and he is still willing to give this Beiyan princess to the prince as a side concubine." ”

He twisted the letter in his hand again: "That old guy is suspicious by nature, heh." ”

With a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, he took a pen and wrote a letter and handed it to Mu Ying.

"You go and send some people to pretend to be Beiyan merchants and others to enter Beijing, and wait for Ah Yun to finish and release some messages that Princess Beiyan will be the crown princess of the dynasty, be careful with the eyes of the capital."

Mu Ying took the letter: "Yes, young master." ”

"Go ahead, send the letter to Ah Yun." Gu Chenghong said lightly.

"Yes." Mu Ying turned away as if she had never appeared.

Gu Chenghong picked up the creed and threw it into the furnace, a spark sparked, and the letter paper was swallowed up in an instant.

In the capital five days later.

In the early dynasty, the emperor and the ministers discussed the matter of making peace with the princess, and after a few days, the palace banquet was to wash the dust for the envoys of Beiyan.

Some of the prince's staff also played the princess Beiyan to the prince as a side concubine.

Some of the second prince's staff said that Beiyan was getting stronger and stronger, and it was not appropriate to be a side concubine, so he should be allowed to be a concubine for the second prince.

Of course, I was afraid that the emperor would be taboo, but I just proposed.

The third prince, Rui Wang Li Siyun, also asked his people to mention it, which was regarded as a fun, so that the emperor could also remember such a son as him.

Emperor Jing Xiao frowned, glanced at the ministers who proposed below, and felt a headache, he rubbed the corners of his eyes, and then waved his hand "Discuss again", and retreated.

The ministers walked out one after another, and Li Siyun, the king of Rui, turned pale and coughed hard, as if he wanted to cough out his stomach.

King Duan on the side frowned, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes: "The third brother is not in good health, it is better to recuperate at home, and my father has also allowed you to go to the court." ”

King Rui looked at King Duan, although his face was sickly pale, but he was indeed a beautiful man who was as gentle as jade, and his voice was as warm and good as jade

"It's been too long since I came out, and today it happened that the envoys of Beiyan came. Ahem. I heard that the women of Beiyan are all heroic, and they must like the second brother to be such a handsome and mighty, brave and good man, and the third brother is here to congratulate the second brother in advance. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing again.

When King Duan heard this, he didn't have any expression on his face, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes. "The third brother doesn't want to talk nonsense, everything is decided by the father. The second brother had something to do at home, so he left first. ”

"Hmm." Li Siyun nodded.

King Duan said as he walked forward, not noticing that the prince behind him listened to the conversation between the two, and looked at him with a touch of resentment in his eyes.

Li Siyun lowered his head and covered his mouth and coughed, but no one saw the mockery flashing in his eyes.

In the past few days, a small incident has happened in the capital, the carriage of the princess of Beiyan was startled on the road for some reason, but fortunately, King Duan happened to pass by and rescued him.

The news reached the Prince's Mansion.

The prince put down the cup in his hand fiercely: "What a hero saves the beauty, who doesn't know what his idea is." ”

Duke Dingguo stroked his beard and said, "The prince is angry, and I see that the emperor will still marry this princess of Beiyan to you as a side concubine." There is no concubine in the second prince's mansion. ”

"Hmph, but who knows if this reckless man will make any stumbling blocks." The prince said angrily.

This is a letter from the prince's secret guard.

The prince opened it and looked even more angry: "Look at it, this princess of Beiyan has said that if she wants to marry, she will marry a brave and warlike man, and what she is talking about is not that reckless man." ”

Taishi Li glanced at it: "The prince's concern is not unreasonable, if this princess of Beiyan wants to marry and propose it on the spot at the palace banquet, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to refuse." "He has always been at odds with Dingguo Gong.

"I'm afraid the emperor is unwilling." Ding Guogong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Taishi Li.

"How can you be unwilling, you see that the father and the emperor have recently looked at the reckless man with loving eyes, and the father is kind and filial to the son, isn't it just that he caught a thief!"

Ding Guogong shook his head when he looked at the prince like this, this thief has always been a big problem in the emperor's heart. So he opened his mouth to persuade: "The second prince has indeed made a great contribution to this matter. ”

"Are you optimistic about him too?" The prince glared at him.

"The subordinates are just talking about things, for the good of the prince."

"Humph!" The prince glared at him, and this Dingguo Gong gave me a lesson at every turn.

Ding Guogong stopped talking when he saw him like this.

The prince's staff spoke: "My subordinates think what the Taishi said is reasonable, and Beiyan is no longer a small subordinate country back then, and marrying the princess of Beiyan will definitely be a big help." ”

"Yes, you have to think of a way, what do you have in mind?" The prince's gaze swept over them.

The staff member spoke again: "It's better for the prince to go to the palace and talk to Concubine Xian, and let Concubine Xian talk to the emperor." ”

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This method is good, I will enter the palace tomorrow." ”

"No." Ding Guogong hurriedly said.

The prince waved his hand: "That's it." "I thought to myself, this old horseman must be afraid that I would marry Princess Beiyan and affect his daughter's status.

Dingguo Gong is a minister, so he had to shut up, he saw the smugness in Taishi Li's eyes, and then looked at the prince, his heart was stupid, did he choose the wrong way from the beginning.
