In the garden of Guofu, it is now very deserted. There are only three or four fewer people than not long ago, but after Yulian and Yang Yue'e left, the back garden seemed to be missing souls, as if empty.

In the living room hall where Guo Shao lived before, two women, large and small, were sitting lazily at a table. There is a back door at the back that is open to the calm surface of the lake.

"Eldest sister, you can meet the person you want to see today." A childish and delicate voice said. The person who spoke was Zhou Jiamin, and she had a serious face...... A nine-year-old girl had such a look on her face, but she had a very playful look. But she did mean it.

Zhou Xian sighed quietly, glanced listlessly at some of the strangely placed cards on the table, and said with interest: "You can play the leaf card alone." ”

"I'm not playing, I'm trying things for my eldest sister." Zhou Jiamin insisted.

Zhou Xian stretched out his hand to mess up the cards on the table, and said angrily: "A deck of cards for gambling, can you still tell fortunes?" Just sit quietly for a while. ”

Zhou Jiamin didn't say a word, silently closed a bunch of cards on the table, and looked at it alone, his face seemed to be bulging.

"Angry? I didn't mean to, or I was a little annoyed. Zhou Xian leaned down and looked sideways at Jia Min's face, "Why are you interested in the leaf brand?" ”

Jia Min was sullen and silent for a while, but she didn't hold grudges, and after a while, she said, "Because this card has 'Warrior on horseback'......" She flipped out a piece and put it on the table, "Huh." ”

"It's a flower card." Zhou Jiamin responded casually. She is still quite familiar with the leaf card, one of the playthings of those noble ladies in the Tang Dynasty court, the Southern Tang Palace also collected a lot of previous things, and used them for gambling.

But...... What is the relationship between the Flower Cavalry and her interest in the Leaf Cards? Children are really hard to understand, and their little brains are all blind to think about things.

Zhou Xian said again: "Then how did you use the leaf card to tell fortunes?" ”

"It's not a fortune telling, it's just a matter of measuring things." Jia Min corrected, "What is written in the book, I learned from the book." ”

She glanced at Zhou Xian, then stretched out her two delicate and white hands to rummage in the card pile for a while, found a card with a character drawn, and said seriously: "At the beginning, people were like me, stupid ......"

Zhou Xian touched her little nose, reluctantly showed a smile, and praised: "The second sister is really smart, where is she stupid?" It's a quick learner. ”

Jia Min said: "I don't know what the eldest sister is worried about? But you are very worried, because the eldest sister is not stupid and understands many things; But you don't understand everything, that's why you're ......worried," she then found another card, "The eldest sister is in the reincarnation of fortune and misfortune, and when it becomes the main card 'heaven and earth', everything is understood, and it will return to the basics, and the mind is as broad as heaven and earth, and the eldest sister will no longer worry." ”

……

Guo Shao didn't sleep well last night and got up late. As for the imperial study, a group of officials in the outer hall were already in Shangzhi, and Zuo You and Huang Binglian inside also arrived. Guo Shao immediately stretched out his right hand and pressed it, making a gesture and saying, "That's it, no courtesy." ”

Everyone thanked them and bowed again: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on winning the prince." ”

Guo Shao responded with a smile, walked into the study and sat down behind the imperial case covered with a yellow tablecloth. Xindao: The officials of the outer court know quite quickly. After thinking about it for a while, I should know it from the mouth of the eunuch, the eunuch is the person who can connect the inside and outside, after all, it is a happy event, and they will say it.

The chapter is being handled by Zuo You and the others, and now Guo Shao is a lot more relaxed.

He sat quietly for a while, then skillfully took out a blank paper booklet from the desk next to him and wrote the date on the cover. Then he flipped to the middle, picked up the brush and wrote a column of words "mid-term schedule", and wrote down the names of his wives and concubines after more than a month. Because he knew that the woman was going to be confined after giving birth to a child, and in more than a month, it happened that the bodies of the second sister Fu and Li Yuan'er were well raised, and they could easily hold the canonization ceremony.

At this moment, Guo Shao couldn't help but think of his righteous sister Gao...... is also bad for his own children, but Gao can only hide in a courtyard and survive quietly. He felt a little guilty when he thought of this.

He put down his pen, paced back and forth in front of the imperial case for a long time, and turned his head to see the eunuch Yang Shiliang standing at the door with a whisk, so he said: "Go and prepare an ordinary carriage, I want to go to Donghua Gate." ”

Yang Shiliang bowed down and answered, and immediately went out to arrange people.

Not long after, Guo Shao came to Donghuamen by car and summoned Lu Chengyong in the duty room. ordered Lu Chengyong to send a team of men and horses out of the palace with him. Yang Shiliang knew at this time that Guo Shao was going out, but he couldn't stop the emperor, so he hurriedly told the eunuchs guarding Donghua Gate, and then followed Guo Shao out of the city.

Guo Shao took a carriage out of the imperial city and went straight "home".

After entering Guo's mansion, he asked Yang Shiliang, Lu Chengyong and others to wait in the outer courtyard, and he wanted to go into the inner house to do something. When I walked to the gatehouse of the back garden, I found Bai Xiangu who was in charge of the accounts, and said, "You go to Jingniang, and say that I am waiting to see her in the house." ”

At the end of last year, when Guo Shao left Beijing to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, Gao was pregnant, so he asked Jing Niang to take care of Gao, and Lu Xiaoniang, who was skilled in medicine, was also there. However, Lu Xiaoniang didn't know Gao's identity.

Guo Shao entered the gatehouse, intending to wait at the place where he used to live...... I just happened to be able to meet Zhou Xian and others. Last time, he ordered someone to come back to pick up his wife and concubine, but Lu Chengyong didn't take Zhou Xian into the palace.

He saw that the door of the living room was open, and when he walked to the door, he saw that Zhou Xian and her sister were playing cards at the table.

Zhou Xian noticed that someone was there, and when she turned her head to look, she suddenly looked surprised. Guo Shao said: "Emperor E, are you still used to staying here?" ”

Zhou Xian came back to her senses at this time, pulled Jia Min away from the stool, she knelt on the ground, dragged the little girl again, knelt on the ground together, and bowed: "The concubine knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Get up, there is no audience, you need so much red tape?" ”

When Zhou Xian met his sister, his arm was grabbed by Guo Shao, and his face suddenly turned red: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

At this moment, Jia Min muttered, "You see how accurate my test is......"

Guo Shao happened to be idle, and when he saw that the little girl was beautiful and cute, and her eyes were shining and pure, he asked her what she was testing. So Zhou Jiamin told him about the leaf card.

This little girl spoke clearly, with the accent of Nantang, which was very tactful and good. Rao is Guo Shao didn't take what she said seriously, but he also liked to listen to her. But when she said that people have never been ignorant and wanted to return to the process of returning to the basics, Guo Shao said "Huh" and was immediately very interested.

He enthusiastically asked Zhou Jiamin to perform on the spot, looking at her expression and movements, Guo Shao couldn't help laughing. Originally, after the Liao army entered the Kou, Guo Shao's mood was relatively heavy, and at this moment, unconsciously, people became relaxed.

The three of them played for a long time, and Jing Niang came to the door. Zhou Jiamin, who was smiling, turned her head to look at the tall woman with a cold face, her smile froze on her face, and she glared at Jing Niang.

Jing Niang's face was expressionless, she stood for a moment, and still bowed. Guo Shao stepped forward to help her up, then turned around and said, "Emperor E, I still have to go with Jingniang a little in advance." In a moment, I will send you into the palace. ”

The two of them left the house and walked towards the gatehouse. Jing Niang silently followed behind, and Guo Shao turned his head and said, "I know that you and Zhou Xian are not on the right path......"

Jing Niang said: "I don't dare." ”

Guo Shao said again: "We haven't seen each other for several months, and I asked you to take care of pregnant women again, so it's hard for you." ”

"Your Majesty speaks like this, and it torments me." Jing Niang's tone finally softened slightly, "You are now the Son of Heaven, and you have nothing to say to snatch back the queen of the enemy country." But that Gao family, her son is already a general in the army, not to mention, isn't she His Majesty's righteous sister......"

Guo Shao was speechless. When the two walked past the gatehouse, he stopped and said, "There is a small gate here, you go out through the small gate, hire a carriage, and don't need a groom." Come and pick me up and take me to the yard in a moment. ”

Jing Niang responded with her fists clenched, and turned around to leave without saying anything.

Guo Shao looked at her twisted waist and concave silhouette when she turned around, but he was a little flustered. Guo Shao doesn't necessarily like plump and plump women, but some of Jingniang's feminine features are extra prominent, such as breasts, buttocks and other parts, which makes Guo Shao think of it.

He immediately thought that other women had been brought into the palace and could be approached; But Jing Niang still has to stay outside to take care of the Gao family, and I don't know when we will be together. After meeting today, it's normal not to see each other for a month or two.

"Jing Niang." Guo Shao stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

Jing Niang turned around, looked down at her hand being dragged, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she glanced left and right: "What else is going on with Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao saw that there was a side room next to him, so he pulled her to that side: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

She squirmed, and it was difficult to refuse Guo Shao, after all, he was the emperor...... However, in Guo Shao's opinion, after he became the emperor, most people's attitudes have changed significantly, only Jing Niang's etiquette is just a little different on the surface, and her mentality has not changed much, as if Guo Shao has nothing to do with whether he is the emperor or not.

Walking into the house, Guo Shao closed the door casually, but saw that there was no bed in the room, and there were few things, only an old chair was placed in the room very abruptly. There are still many houses in this house, and Guo Shao can't figure out what this house is used for in his own house.

He couldn't take care of it anymore, so he pulled Jing Niang to the chair, sat on it himself, and then dragged her back to his lap, and then moved his hands and feet to get up. Jing Niang's neck turned red, and she whispered: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do, this sunny day...... You can see it from the doors and windows. ”

Guo Shao said: "Isn't it closed? ”

Jing Niang squirmed weakly, and said in a trembling voice: "Too ...... It's empty, and you can see our ugly things at a glance......"
