"Mother!" Yuan Zhonghua was a little surprised. Suddenly, seeing that Gao Yuanjun had already stood up to greet Mrs. Lou, he reflected and hurried to get up.

"A, help the princess to sit down, you don't have to get up." Mrs. Lou assigned Ah Jiao, and walked over as if she had ordered casually.

Ah Jiao was a little surprised, but she still respected Mrs. Lou's order, and sure enough, she came over to help the princess Yuan Zhonghua and sat back again.

Yuan Zhonghua was supported by Ah Jiao, glanced at Ah Jiao, and then looked at Mrs. Lou, and called out for some reason, "Auntie......

Mrs. Lou was surrounded by slaves and maids and walked over and sat in Gao Yuanjun's seat just now, and Gao Yuanjun stood beside his mother with a smile.

Mrs. Lou said with a very calm face, "The princess is too tired. This is Ah Hui's fault, and the affairs in the palace should naturally be handled by the prince. Ah Hui has made the princess tired, and she should ask the princess for her guilt. Mrs. Lou's tone was soft, but the meaning of her words was actually accountability when you read it carefully, and it may not be understood by everyone.

The slaves and maids only regard it as a princess, and they prefer the princess to their own sons. Only Ah Jiao glanced at the princess Yuan Zhonghua with great attention.

Yuan Zhonghua had already smiled, his eyes were lowered, and a pair of lacquer-like crystal eyes were just staring at the ants in the shade of the trees on the ground.

Except for Ah Jiao, who felt that Princess Feng Yi was a little uneasy and aggrieved, other people thought that it was the public director's sexual pose, and she was wronged for Mrs. Lou.

Madame Lou instructed the maids and maids who were surrounded on the left and right with great kindness, "The princess has been ill for a long time, so she should recuperate, and you all need to serve carefully." ”

The slaves and maids gladly accepted the order, but Ah Jiao was shocked when she heard it.

Mrs. Lou smiled at Yuan Zhonghua again, "If the lord really wants to tell the prime minister or the general, it must be an oral instruction, and he will definitely not let Lin Xingren and a eunuch come to the center to spread the word." The eunuch chatted privately about the words in the palace, and it was not the lord's own inheritance, so the princess should not bother with these trivial things anymore. Now ......" Mrs. Lou paused suddenly, looked at Yuan Zhonghua and said, "The imperial doctor reported that the princess was pregnant, so Your Highness should not blame the old woman for being long-winded." ”

The slaves and maids originally heard Mrs. Lou as if she was admonishing, and when they heard that the princess was pregnant, they suddenly understood that Mrs. Lou was working hard: thinking that the princess was already unhealthy, and now she had the blood of the princess, Mrs. Lou was worried because she was concerned.

After listening to Mrs. Lou, Yuan Zhonghua raised his head and looked at Mrs. Lou in a daze, but he didn't understand that what Mrs. Lou said was her.

Mrs. Lou looked at her ignorant appearance, and she was even more worried, suppressed the anxiety in her heart and did not bring it out, and said very kindly, "The son-in-law of the prince must not only be the prime minister and the general, but also the lord must cherish it very much." The princess should be more cherished herself. ”

Yuan Zhonghua's face suddenly turned crimson, lowered his head slightly, and said softly and slowly, "Obey my mother's orders." ”

Suddenly the courtyard was full of joy.

Only Gao Yuanjun stood beside his mother and carefully savored what his mother had just said, so he was distracted.

Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County outside the gate, is not leaving, nor is he staying. The general Lan Jing, who was standing quietly, watched silently as the eldest prince who couldn't hold his breath walked over at the gate of the general's mansion in a hurry. Xiao Zhengde hurriedly walked back and forth for a while, and then stopped and looked up anxiously at the door of the General's Mansion.

Just now, a servant came out to salute and replied to him, the general was very happy to hear that His Royal Highness the King of the County had come to visit, and asked His Royal Highness the King of the County to wait for a moment, and the general was ready to go out to greet him immediately.

Xiao Zhengde's original heart fell to the ground after hearing the reply of the servants of the General's Mansion, and he even had a little surprise, so he decided to wait with peace of mind. But as soon as the servant entered, there was no sound inside. Xiao Zhengde became more and more anxious, not knowing what was going on inside.

And at this moment, since Gao Cheng, the general of the house, already knows about his visit, presumably the prime minister Gao Huan also knows, if he is distracted at this time, it is already impossible. The general said that he was going to greet him, but Xiao Zhengde was hung at the door of the general's mansion, no matter how anxious he was, he could only do it in a hurry.

Xiao Zhengde was in a hurry, but Lan Jing, who was standing silently aside, saw at a glance that the door of the General's Mansion was open again. First, a few servants came out, and then there was a young man in brocade clothes and new decoration, it was Gao Cheng. As soon as this person appeared, it was really like the sun rising in an instant, and it was like a hibiscus out of the waves, and its posture of the country made people dare not look directly.

"Your Royal Highness......" Lan Jing saw that Xiao Zhengde was unconscious, so he whispered to him to prompt, and he already felt that the eldest prince had lost his national body a little.

Xiao Zhengde turned his head suddenly when he heard him, and saw that Gao Cheng had already walked down the stone steps at the entrance of the mansion with a smile on his face, and he was almost close to him. Xiao Zhengde suddenly felt happy in his heart, stroked his forehead and laughed, "General! General! How dare you, how dare you. ”

He had almost never seen Gao Cheng so kind. When they first met Jiankang, Gao Cheng, who had just grown up, was still a naughty boy. This time he came to Yecheng, the successor of the great prime minister is already a top minister who accompanies and drives Zhenying, and the big **** emperor Yuan Shanjian he tends to serve is just a puppet, which is well known to everyone in the world. I saw that he was majestic and high, how could he ever be so friendly?

"Your Highness is coming, and you will be disappointed, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me for the rudeness." It's obviously polite words, but in the words of this general, it makes people feel that they are frank and outspoken, and they are very sincere. At the same time, the general did a full frame and went to the end.

"General ......" Xiao Zhengde saw the surface, almost moved speechless, hurriedly returned the salute, and blurted out, "Our Liang Shi has been treated by the general since he entered Yecheng, and he has been remembered for five years, and he dare not forget it." At the same time, he was more confident in what he was going to talk about.

Lan Jing, who was watching coldly, didn't care whether Gao Cheng saw it or not, he only saw it according to the prayer.

The day by day, the fresh and slightly cool wisps of the morning are burned into nothing. In the bright sunlight, the renovated General's Mansion reveals its resplendent luxury. Gao Yuanjun strolled along the corridors and the shade of the trees, and while looking at the foreground with great attention, he sighed in his heart that its regulation was magnificent and magnificent.

Gao Yuanjun found that the halls and pavilions used by foreign guests and official affairs in the predecessor of the mansion were strictly guarded, and they were solemn and powerful. The rest of the swallow dwelling that gradually comes back is luxurious, and each courtyard has its own system. I saw snow white and pink dotted on the eaves of the wall from time to time, inadvertently revealing the spring color in it, but finally it came to an abrupt end, and nothing could be seen.

Walking further into the depths of the mansion behind the courtyard, the weather gradually changed. To Gao Yuanjun's surprise, the garden in the most private part of the General's Mansion of the eldest brother swept away the solemn and extravagant atmosphere in front of it. Gao Yuanjun sensitively felt a deeply hidden wisp of bleakness and coldness in it, and his heart was unhappy and gradually felt ominous.

I was thinking about going back to the courtyard where my eldest sister-in-law lived, and chatting with Yuan Zhonghua while my mother Mrs. Lou was away, when I suddenly saw a man in black sitting under the mountain forest and on the big bluestone by the stream not far ahead. Gao Yuanjun then remembered that it was the second brother Gao Yang. No one paid attention to this person's whereabouts after entering the General's Mansion just now, because he was too inconspicuous.

When Gao Yuanjun saw Gao Yang, he calmed down in his heart and walked over slowly. At this time, Gao Yang also turned around, and was not surprised to see Gao Yuanjun at all, but only asked, "What did my sister hear from my eldest sister-in-law?" ”

Gao Yuanjun didn't answer him, but just answered the question, "Brother also thinks it's wrong for me?" ”

Gao Yang stood up from the big bluestone and avoided her gaze, "What do you mean?" What is wrong? My sister and I are mothers, and it is naturally different from others, I just advise my sister that it is not up to others, but I am afraid that you will enter the situation in the future and you will not be able to help yourself. When he said this, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

Gao Yuanjun asked in a deep voice, "Since my brother understands this truth, why does he still insist on going his own way?" Seems to be retreating but actually advancing? ”

Gao Yang turned around to look at Gao Yuanjun, his face was expressionless, but he was surprised that his sister, who was a mother and a twin, was so poisonous. He didn't know how to answer for a while, but after thinking about it, he said, "I am also a member of the Gao family, and I am not willing to be left behind." "Brother Tonggen, the circumstances are so different, one has been the successor set by his parents since he was a child, and the other has not only had no chance but has never been taken seriously, this is a fact that he can't be smoothed out no matter what.

"I'm just like my brother." Gao Yuanjun immediately replied to him. The contrast between her and her eldest sister Gao Yuanjun made her feel the same as this prostitute brother. But she changed her words, "I, like my brother, take the weight of the Gao family as my own responsibility, not for the same root." ”

The ministers of the Gao family, their father and brother, seem to be in a high position, but they are actually the real masters of a country's society, but how many people can see through it, and under such a cluster of flowers is the precarious position of being in a high position? I didn't expect Gao Yuanjun to be able to see through this. This made Gao Yang unmoved, his sister could have such a heart and bearing in the boudoir. There are priorities, and under the complex relationship, she can clearly distinguish which is more important.

Gao Yang suddenly put aside the topic just now, and asked softly, "Has my sister seen my eldest sister-in-law?" Is she okay? ”

Gao Yuanjun was stunned, and seemed to be a little surprised by this. "Your Highness...... Very good...... There are already eldest brothers and sisters-in-law......"

Gao Yang didn't speak, feeling the warmth of the flying jade pendant he was wearing close to his skin.

Gao Yuanjun no longer dared to talk to his brother whenever he saw his brother's gloomy silence, but just looked at Gao Yang silently.

"The eldest brother has a son-in-law, and he is in a high position, and his words are becoming more and more weighty." Gao Yang turned his head to look at Gao Yuanjun, "We naturally have to obey our eldest brother." Even the Lord has to put the elder brother first. ”

The scorching sun hung high, and Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, who had entered the general's mansion, followed the swaggering general Gao Cheng to lead the way through the endless corridors, not knowing where to go. He only felt that the scorching sun was extremely hot, and after a while, his heavy clothes were soaked with sweat. But my heart jumped involuntarily again.

Through the heavy curfew, I entered a small courtyard, and only green trees were planted in the courtyard, which invisibly made people feel quiet and solemn. When he entered the room, he saw the prime minister Gao Huan sitting proudly, looking at him calmly and calmly. Xiao Zhengde was busy meeting each other with a courtesy, and the prime minister returned the salute and sat down. Xiao Zhengde took a look at the scene in the room for a while.

Xiao Zhengde was a little surprised, this room is full of books, but it looks like a scholar's study, not like a place for a general to govern. As the prince and county king of the Southern Dynasty, no matter how poor Xiao Zhengde is, he is infiltrated by the land of poetry, books, etiquette and music, and he originally looked down on the Northern Dynasty from his heart in this matter. I didn't expect that there was such a study in the private office of the powerful ministers in charge of the Northern Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness visited in person, I was really flattered, I don't know if His Highness can be happy in Yecheng for a few months?" Gao Cheng asked with a smile on his face.

Xiao Zhengde only felt that the feeling of summer heat just now was swept away, and he even began to wonder if it had ever been so hot. Sitting quietly in the room at this moment, I feel more of the cold air of the forest. Especially when the smiling eyes of the great general Gao Cheng and the calm and sharp gaze of the great prime minister Gao Huan looked directly at him at the same time, this coldness was even worse. The hot sweat just now turned into cold sweat, sticky and greasy wrapped around the body, which was really unbearable.

Suddenly, he realized that there were only three people here. There were no servants, and his subordinate Lan Jing did not know where he had gone.

"Agree, agree......" Xiao Zhengde himself felt that his smile was a little stiff, and he replied to Gao Cheng casually. But suddenly I found that such an opportunity is really rare, and there is no irrelevant person, so I simply made it clear at this moment that it was best to make the matter of harmony. So he mustered up the courage to look up at the prime minister Gao Huan, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "The great prime minister Mingjian, Liang Shi has lived in Yedu for a long time, and Dawei and Daliang are now allies. It's just ......" Xiao Zhengde didn't finish speaking, and when he was about to intervene in the topic, he was suddenly interrupted by Gao Cheng.

"Is Your Highness going back to Jiankang?" Gao Cheng still looked at Xiao Zhengde with a smile, as if he only heard the meaning that he was going to return south, but did not hear the turning point behind him at all, obviously there was something more important to say.

Only Gao Huan secretly sighed in his heart that his son was still playful, obviously Xiao Zhengde had something important to say, he actually made such a child's joke at this time, so he glanced at his son, and then put his eyes back on Xiao Zhengde, and said quietly, "Daliang and Dawei are adjacent to each other in the north and south, and they depend on each other. ”

"Your Highness has something to say." Gao Cheng naturally understood what his father meant, and immediately pulled the topic back directly, and directly threw the question back to Xiao Zhengde.

"The prime minister is clear, I really say it in my throat, like choking on my bones, I don't vomit or be unhappy, and I will speak bluntly to the prime minister and the general today." Xiao Zhengde straightened up and said to Gao Huan.
