Because of Mo Fei's matter, the Queen Mother was not in the mood to talk to anyone, and as for Lin Ruixiang, she was even more in the mood.

These things had nothing to do with Gu Nian, and she politely said goodbye to the three masters of the palace who were seated.

Gu Shi'an saw that his daughter was gone, and he followed.

Chang Yuan got the emperor's signal and led Gu Nian and Gu Shi'an in front.

Originally, there was no need for the great eunuchs around the emperor to do such a thing.

But when Gu Nian said goodbye just now, the emperor directly ordered Chang Yuan to send it, and there were no stupid people in the palace, so Chang Yuan naturally wouldn't fake them.

Chang Yuan sent the two of them to the shadow wall of the Qiwu Palace, and stopped.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law." Gu Shi'an bowed politely to Chang Yuan.

He knew very well that the emperor was so polite to Gu Nian, but it was because Xiao Yue was leading the troops to fight outside.

Gu Nian stopped and smiled at Chang Yuan.

No matter which dynasty, even when the eunuchs were in power, most people despised the eunuchs.

Even if those people from high-ranking families looked respectful when they saw a big eunuch like Chang Yuan, they still upheld the superiority in their bones and did not take eunuchs and the like in their eyes.

Although Gu Shi'an said that it was just a simple action, he was very gentle all over his body.

Not to mention Gu Nian's smile, which made Chang Yuan stunned for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that Princess Jin had followed King Su towards the gate, and when he stepped on the threshold, King Su turned around and took Princess Jin's hand, and only let go of her hand after she stepped over.

The father and daughter acted naturally and cooperated tacitly, as if this kind of thing had happened many times.

Chang Yuan thought of what happened in the palace, and King Su said that it was for the deceased Jingning County Lord, why not for his daughter?

With a stepmother, there is a stepfather.

King Su is really decisive, putting an end to all possibilities.

Princess Jin is really favored.

Out of the Qiwu Palace, Gu Nian saw a few middle-aged men coming in front of him, and greeted Gu Shi'an from a distance.

Gu Nian stopped and said to Gu Shi'an, "Daddy, my daughter will go back to Zhuangzi first, you can come over for dinner in the evening." ”

Gu Shi'an smiled at her and reached out to touch the top of her hair.

"Father." Gu Nian's eyes widened, "How old is my daughter......"

Gu Shi'an waved his hand with a smile, put his hand behind his back and said, "No matter how big it is, it's my daughter, don't worry, the bun is good, it can't be messed up." ”

Gu Nian saw those people getting closer and closer, so he whispered, "I'll go first, wait for the next ceremony, and delay the time." ”

Gu Shi'an nodded and waved her hand to hurry up.

After a few people approached, it was several officials from the Ministry of War, who saw the back of Gu Nian leaving, and one of them said, "Why don't you see the little prince of the Jin Palace?" It's really naïve. ”

This is the scene where Xu Er drove the duck to see the emperor.

"Where, where, like his mother, I'm spoiled." Gu Shi'an smiled and waved his hand.

Several officials present laughed one after another, it is not a secret that King Su favors his daughter and grandson, don't look at it, it will be said that he is spoiled.

If anyone really dares to say that they are not good, King Su will definitely turn his face immediately.

After Gu Nian left on the trail, he left the imperial village, got into the carriage of the Jin Palace, and went to his own Zhuangzi.

Halfway through the carriage, there was a sudden 'pop' and the carriage stopped, and then the sound of the coachman jumping down and landing was heard.

Then, the voice of the coachman outside sounded, "Princess, the wheel of the carriage is stuck, please get off the carriage first, and your subordinates will move the carriage for a while." ”

Gu Nian got out of the carriage, and Astragalus stood beside her with an oil-paper umbrella.

"Princess, let's go to the gazebo over there and wait, it's a hot day, and I'm worried about heat stroke." Huang Qi looked around, pointed to the pavilion not far away, and said to Gu Nian.

Gu Nian said to the accompanying guards, and went to the pavilion with Astragalus.

The gazebo is very poorly built, and the path leading to the gazebo is not smooth, fortunately it is a sunny day, otherwise, you can't get down at all.

The accompanying guards were left by Gu Nian to help the coachman carry the carriage, Astragalus helped her hold an umbrella, and Gu Nian used one hand as a fan to fan the cool breeze.

Suddenly, when she was going up the steps, she didn't have time to lift her skirt, and her foot stepped on it, and she was about to fall......

"Beware!"

The sound in my ears was scorching and gave me goosebumps.

The voice was as familiar as if it had only been spoken yesterday...... It makes Gu Nian feel unreal.

No, it's not an illusion, it's a real person talking.

Gu Nian's heart was shocked, and she looked up in amazement, looking at the person who had reached out and dragged the crook of her arm, and at the same time, the astragalus standing beside Gu Nian had quickly retracted her umbrella and stabbed at this person.

Astragalus's attack was intercepted by a person who rushed out again, and the two quickly made a move.

The steps on Gu Nian's head shook because she suddenly raised her head, and the person in front of her turned out to be ......

The Four Princes.

He was wearing a robe that was extremely elaborately made, but not of the highest quality, with a jade pendant tied around his waist.

The green scarf is wrapped in the head, the face is like a jade plate, the eyes are like cold stars, the moist thin lips are slightly raised, and there is some freedom and looseness on the body, which can't be concealed.

Time seemed to have stopped in him, or the memories overlapped, making Gu Nian a little trance-like.

More than ten years ago, decades ago, hundreds of years ago, or the Four Princes a few years ago, it was as if she had passed through a time and space tunnel, returned to the past, and then ...... She became every one of her previous lives.

There was the sound of swords on the side, and the guards in the distance noticed that there were more people around Gu Nian, and they also rushed over.

Gu Nian stared at him for a while, gently pulled out the hand he was holding, and said, "Thank you." ”

Then he said, "Tell your men to stop." ”

The fourth prince looked at her, spoke to him unhurriedly, stood casually, and said, "Listen to you." ”

The voice is soft, especially a pair of cold eyes, which seem to have turned into a spring spring, with a tenderness like water.

There is no coldness and hardness, no alienation, like the most gentle man in the world, helpless in the face of a delicate lover.

Gu Nian tried his best to calm himself down, sober up from the shock, and then looked at the four princes vigilantly, took three steps back, and distanced himself from the four princes.

Then, Astragalus and the guards came to her side.

She sneered, "Didn't the four princes cultivate in the Huangjue Temple, and they can't come out without a summons for life?" ”

The fourth prince smiled slightly, the expression on his face was even softer, he just wanted to come and see Gu Nian.

In his dream, because of him, Gu Nian never had a good death, this time, she was not with him, hehe. He sneered.

"Can't leave the temple without a call? Xiao Yi is not an emperor at all, his summons ...... What can the new emperor do to me? Use this reason to put my head on the ground? ”

"The emperor is benevolent, naturally not." Gu Nian said, she took a few steps back.

She slowly recalled in her mind the day of King Ping's rebellion last time, who was present and who would reveal Xiao Yi's pretending to be Emperor Yongping to the four princes imprisoned in Huangjue Temple.

How did the Four Princes learn this secret? Or maybe he knew it before he was imprisoned.

Gu Nian's heart was in turmoil for a while, and his hands and feet were even colder.

The four princes were originally the biggest contenders for the throne, but suddenly, they were locked up in the royal temple, and the will of Emperor Yongping was clearly imprisoned for life, and it was impossible to come out unless they died.

The four princes fell from the clouds to the quagmire overnight, and were imprisoned in the temple for so many years, how did he get out?

Gu Nian didn't dare to imagine that if Xiao Yi changed his appearance as Emperor Yongping, once the news was really known by the people of the world, how would it end?

She clenched her fists and looked at the four princes with righteous words,

"You don't have a chance."

The fourth prince smiled lightly, he had been in the temple for a long time, with a smile as faint as a distant mountain on his face, and his eyes, which were originally as tender as water, turned into ice again, with an indescribable sadness, said,

"You were originally mine, but you became someone else's wife......"

Gu Nian looked at the four princes as if he was looking at a nervous disorder, but it was a waste of time to say a word to such a person.

"I'm my own, not anyone's."

The four princes smiled, and their eyes kept looking at the four princes, looking at her eyes, looking at her eyebrows, and looking at her together.

It's nice that she's still alive, standing in front of him, so he can reach out and touch it.

He kept dreaming of her, dreaming of her various ways of dying, and later, he didn't dare to close his eyes.

No matter how many scriptures he recites, no matter how much incense and candles he lights, no matter how many people there are around him, as long as he closes his eyes, those bloody scenes will almost swallow him.

Finally, when I came here, I saw Gu Nian, and saw her holding an oil-paper umbrella and slowly walking towards him.

At that moment, he even had an illusion, those bloody dreams were just his hallucinations.

Obviously, she is still so beautiful.

Life is good.

Gu Nian stepped back quietly, and the look on which the fourth prince looked at her frightened her.

Those almost pure black eyes, as if with endless darkness, are like Shura in the abyss, with endless backs, not only doomed to the tragedy of their lives, but anyone who gets close may be pulled in.

"Niannian, from now on, you forget Xiao Yue and stay by my side, okay?" The fourth prince stared at her, his gaze gradually became very gentle, as if he was talking to Gu Nian, and as if he was talking to himself, he stretched out his hand to touch Gu Nian's hair.

Gu Nian staggered back, a little panicked in her heart, although she had astragalus and guards by her side.

But the appearance of the fourth prince here must have been prepared, and she didn't want these people around her to be injured.

People who have been imprisoned like the fourth prince are mentally abnormal, and they seem to have no care about human life.

She stopped the guards who were about to rush up, and said sharply, "On behalf of the prince, a good woman does not serve the second husband, and please respect the prince, since you will not enter your palace in the past, in this life, even if you are a ghost, you will stay away from you." ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he suddenly covered his chest, as if his face was about to twist because of pain, "You, do you hate me like this?" ”

"Yes, I hate you." Gu Nian immediately said, "As a man, you keep saying that you want to be good to me, but what you have done is coercion and harm. ”

The eyes of the four princes showed a look mixed with pain and embarrassment, and his expression gradually cooled.

"If you are really good to me, you should hope that I will live well, and you should pray in front of the Bodhisattva that Xiao Yue and I are loving and happy."

"I just want you to be by my side." The fourth prince said.

Gu Nian's face was silent, and he sneered in his heart, no matter whether he was stimulated or not, no matter how many lives he had, he would always think about his four princes.

She took a few steps back, and suddenly, the fourth prince said coldly, "If you don't want these people around you to die, don't retreat anymore, talk to me well." ”

Astragalus's voice sounded in Gu Nian's ears like a mosquito and a fly, "The slave has already informed the prince." ”

Gu Nian knew that the prince she was talking about was her father.

She stopped retreating, and when the fourth prince saw it, his face suddenly relaxed.

"You and Xiao Yue may not have a good result." The fourth prince suddenly said, "Xiao Yue is leading the troops outside, maybe he will die on the battlefield."

The emperor asked him to lead the troops to fight, not only to hold the military power in his hands, because he knew that his throne was unstable and he needed Xiao Yue to help him. ”

Gu Nian said, "The emperor is as kind to him as a mountain, and he should be like this." ”

Xiao Yue's temperament, if he had grown up since he was a child, without such a person as the current emperor, he would have only known what Emperor Yongping had become.

No matter what Xiao Yue does for the emperor, she can understand.

If Emperor Yongping played the role of a father, then the current emperor plays the role of a brother and a division commander.

"Prince...... He ascended the throne as the emperor, if he gave half of the country to Xiao Yue, probably he would be willing. The fourth prince smiled self-deprecatingly.

However, his words changed sharply and said, "However, everyone will die, and the emperor is no exception, if he dies one day, what will happen to Xiao Yue, who holds the military power?"

Although the emperor's children are now qualified, they are not very open-minded and very stingy.

At that time, Xiao Yue ...... Hehe, either rebel or be killed.

No matter how many victories he fights, his surname is Xiao, not Lin, and the king with a different surname rebelled, you are familiar with history books, you should know the consequences......"

The fourth prince looks crazy, but his IQ is fine, he said that the eldest son of the emperor is not good, then I am afraid that it is really not good.

She said quietly, "The emperor is now less than forty years old, and he has just ascended the throne, so it is too early to talk about the next things." ”

What the four princes can think of, Xiao Yue can't think of.

It's just that in the current situation, those issues are not urgent.

First calm the external turmoil, then you can settle the interior, and besides, now the emperor is still on the throne.

The fourth prince smiled approvingly, "You're getting smarter and smarter." ”

Gu Nian lowered his eyes, "The prince praises falsely." ”

There was a commotion in the distance, as if there was still the sound of horses' hooves, and the fourth prince frowned and said, "Xiao Yue is not here, I'd better wait for him to come back." ”

He raised his hand and pulled the handkerchief that Gu Nian was pinching in his hand, and said, "We will meet again." ”

He finally spoke, as if he had disappeared, as if he had come, as elusive.

As soon as he disappeared, he saw Gu Shi'an rushing over from the end of the road, "Niannian, are you okay?" ”

Gu Nian shook his head, unconsciously covering his chest, trying to calm his beating heart.

At this moment, she had a feeling of fear, the four princes were simply crazy.

"Don't tell the prince about this." Gu Nian gave the first order.

She needs Xiao Yue very much. But at this moment, Xiao Yue has more important things to do.

She didn't want Xiao Yue to have to face the stalemate of the war and worry about her distractedly.

There is still a long way to go to solve the problems of the next generation.

Now, the four princes are out, and if he wants to rebel, it will be a catastrophe.

"But......" The captain of the guard was very embarrassed, and before setting out for the expedition, Xiao Yue made it clear that as long as he thought about any danger around him, he must write to him as soon as possible.

Gu Nian shook his head and said, "You also heard it, before the prince comes back, the acting king will not appear." ”

The fourth prince wanted to get her, in addition to the shortcomings that he didn't get, he was afraid that there were also reasons for Xiao Yue.

After Gu Shi'an came, he immediately took over the affairs around Gu Nian, and after hearing the coachman say that the car wheel was stuck, he would stop, and immediately understood that it must be a roadblock set up by the four princes, just to let Gu Nian get out of the car.

It's just that people are fine, and he doesn't care about those, so he stepped forward and hugged Gu Nian and said, "Daddy is here, it's okay." ”

"Daddy, send someone to the emperor to deliver the message immediately." Gu Nian always thought that he was calm enough and self-reliant enough, but now it seems that it is still far from enough.

Because after she saw Gu Shi'an coming, she had a headache and her feet were weak.

She tugged at Gu Shi'an's clothes, and her voice was unsteady.

Gu Shi'an understood that the four princes appeared near Huangzhuang like this, first because the guards nearby were derelict in their duties, and then the guard on the side of Huangjue Temple was invalid.

Gu Shi'an asked the guards to get the carriage ready, and then helped Gu Nian to get into the carriage and followed him.

"Fourth Prince, what did you just do?" Gu Shi'an asked.

Gu Nian pursed his lower lip and said, "He said let me go to him." ”

Gu Shi'an was immediately furious and said, "Nonsense, he is really a toad who wants to eat swan meat." No, the guards around you are going to have to be rearranged. ”

He didn't expect that the shameless thoughts of the four princes had not been dispelled until now, and it must have been a lot of hardship for him to come out of the Huangjue Temple, but he actually took such a lot of trouble to see Gu Nian.

Such an obsession is not ordinarily deep.

Gu Nian soothed, "Daddy, in the short term, he won't show up, but I still want Daddy to check on the Huangjue Temple." ”

When you say goodbye to the four princes, it will probably be the day when your lives will be ruined.

The appearance of the fourth prince was like a dream, and like a gust of wind, he woke up from the dream, and he left. The wind blew and he was gone.

After Gu Shi'an sent the news to the emperor, Gu Nian never asked again, and it was better for her not to get involved in the major affairs of the family and the country.

Xiao Yue is not at home, and she, the princess, stretches out her hand to the front of the court again, which is really unbearable.

It was Gu Shi'an, who was so nervous about her that she couldn't do it, even the eldest princess of the protector was scared, and the eldest princess of the protector directly used all the people left by the old Marquis An Yuan.

Gu Shi'an also moved to live in Gu Nian's Zhuangzi, and at the same time changed the guards around her.

Because of the matter of the four princes, Gu Nian is interest in going out is gone, let alone having a banquet.

Everything was left to Changshi and White Shadow.

During this time, Empress Jiang did not determine the eldest concubine of the emperor, not only wanted to hang the Jiang family, but also wanted to see if there was a better family.

However, although the eldest princess of the emperor was not decided, he gave a lot of good marriages.

Regardless of the man or the woman, it is the most decent to be able to have a holy decree to marry, and without a holy decree, having the queen, or the queen mother's decree can also add a lot of color.

Gu Nian's heart was stunned, this Empress Jiang was probably thinking about grasping the authority of the harem and gradually expanding her sphere of influence by means of marriage.

The marriage she gave could be more or less related to the Jiang family or other people in the Jiang family.

In September, the holy driver returned to the capital from Huangzhuang, and Gu Nian began the first day of the new year and the fifteenth day of greeting peace.

On the fifteenth day, Gu Nian went to the palace, and Queen Jiang was talking to a princess of the clan who came to the palace to ask for peace.

This princess is the princess of Qijun, and she is familiar with Gu Nian, although she doesn't move around much, she still hasn't missed four hours and eight festivals.

Seeing Gu Nianlai, Princess Qijun saluted Gu Nian's head and said hello.

When Empress Jiang saw it, she glanced at her side slightly, she was the most decent, especially in front of people, that pair of Gu Nian had always been affectionate in words and close in action, and people who didn't know looked at it, and treated Gu Nian as if she was her brother and daughter-in-law.

At this time, the queen saw that Gu Nian was going to give her a salute, so she hurriedly pulled her and said, "What kind of etiquette are you talking about here with me?" It's all your own family, don't be so vulgar. ”

Gu Nian just pursed his lips and smiled, should he salute, or salute.

Princess Qijun said with a smile, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, etiquette cannot be abolished, and your own family must observe etiquette." ”

This is clearly to help Gu Nian solve the siege.

Empress Jiang looked helpless and said to Princess Qijun, "She is the most courteous, these days, she has also suffered her, the ninth brother is not here, she has to take care of the palace, and she has to take care of the children." It's not that I said, there really isn't anyone as good as her anymore. ”

After speaking, she was disgusted that the people waiting in front of her were ignorant, and she didn't bring a stool to Princess Jin to sit on.

When the stool came, he forcibly pulled Gu Nian to sit beside him, and after this piece was done, he chatted with Princess Qijun again.

Gu Nian sat on the side, listening to the queen chatting with Princess Qijun, speaking of the former King Ping, Princess Qijun said indignantly, "Niangniang, don't you know how hateful King Ping is." ”

Empress Jiang asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

Princess Qijun looked around and said, "Fortunately, they are all married women here, and the five princes and the king of peace don't know where to get some children, ouch, I can't see it."

Those children have suffered a great sin.

King Naping, so dead, it's too cheap for him.

He...... The five princes took those children because they wanted to refine the pill, and they didn't know where he found the pill recipe, and they wanted to use the human brains of those children to practice the pill, but fortunately, the five princes were arrested by the first emperor, and these children escaped.

Who knows, these children are out of the tiger's mouth, and then into the wolf's den, King Ping took those children to the palace, the little children, when they were rescued, the whole person was stunned, and the lower body was rotten...... Can't even walk......"

Gu Nian seemed to have heard Xiao Yue say that King Ping was good at the south wind, but he didn't expect that he would not even let go of the child......

Fortunately, the children that the five princes picked up from Shantang were all picked up.

Empress Jiang heard it with tears in her eyes, and while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she scolded loudly in her mouth, "What is the difference between this and a beast, you must know this, you must let the emperor not behead him so easily."

Such a person is not an exaggeration to cut with a thousand cuts. “

She wiped her tears and said to Gu Nian, "Didn't you run a women's charity hall?" Is there such a thing? ”

Gu Nian shook his head and said, "At the beginning, the Five Princes and King Heping came over to buy people, but Niangniang also knew that those people didn't sell themselves to Shantang, so they didn't let the two of them succeed." ”

Empress Jiang patted her chest, "That's good, that's good, otherwise, it's evil." ”

After talking for a while, Empress Jiang said, "In two days, the palace will hold a chrysanthemum banquet, and when the time comes, you will come." ”

Speaking of the chrysanthemum feast, Queen Jiang was smiling.

Gu Nian's heart moved slightly, probably, Empress Jiang had chosen the candidate for the eldest concubine.

She smiled and said, "Then congratulations to the mother." ”

Empress Jiang smiled mysteriously.

……

Although Empress Jiang summoned the ladies of various mansions into the palace on the grounds of enjoying the flowers, she was actually choosing a concubine for the eldest son of the emperor, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just a passing scene.

The eldest princess of the emperor must have already made a decision.

On the day of the chrysanthemum viewing party, not only Queen Jiang was present, but also the Queen Mother and the Emperor were also there.

The eldest princess of the Protector also received an invitation, and she entered the palace with Gu Nian.

When the Queen Mother saw her, she was naturally very enthusiastic.

The relationship between the two is okay, the queen mother pulled the eldest princess to sit together, and entrusted Gu Nian to Queen Jiang.

"The mourning family talks to your aunt, and Princess Jin entrusts you to take care of it, this is your aunt's eyeballs, you have to look at it."

The Queen Mother joked, Empress Jiang smiled and said, "The daughter-in-law must be optimistic about her aunt's eyes." lost, and the daughter-in-law compensated her for her eyeballs. ”

Gu Nian stood beside the eldest princess of the Protector of the Kingdom, as if she had heard some joke.

This chrysanthemum appreciation will be held very grandly by Empress Jiang, after all, the emperor's eldest son is her only son.

Needless to say, the people in the clan came to the palace with their daughters.

The little lady in the garden looks so lively.

"Imperial grandmother, father, mother." Lin Rui, the eldest son of the emperor, stepped forward to salute.
