Xiao Yue glanced at Zhang Yiping, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and looked like a clean and honest person, thinking that he often appeared in front of Gu Nian in the past, he didn't treat him very well.

What's more, he still has things to deal with at the moment, and he is even more reluctant to deal with Zhang Yiping, if he knew that those people were surrounding Zhang Yiping, he didn't bother to ask Dark One to solve the siege, and he let himself be embarrassed.

However, for the sake of his reputation, he still explained concisely, "The one in the palace is a fake princess, and this is the real one just now." ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhang Yiping and drove away.

Zhang Yiping looked at the direction Xiao Yue left, and turned around and walked towards the city for a long time.

His brows kept frowning, and his fingers kept pinching the trick, why did King Jin's life change now?

He couldn't think of anything after thinking about it for a long time, and the only thing he could think of might be related to Princess Jin.

Thinking of Gu Nian, he frowned again, and then sighed.

Before Xiao Yue went out of the city, he sent someone back to the palace to report the news, saying that he would come back very late, and after Gu Nian heard it, he played with Xu'er for a while, and then sat on the trunk outside the verandah.

She unconsciously thought of Aunt Ji's affairs, as well as the familiar rouge fragrance on her body, and her father's abnormality recently.

She said to Astragalus who was standing nearby, "You sent someone to see what Father has been doing lately?" Speaking of which, I haven't been here for days. ”

Astragalus responded and went down to arrange.

Gu Nian leaned on the trunk, looked at the sky in the distance, and thought in a daze, at this time, a pair of hands came up, and she asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?" ”

A familiar breath entered her nose, and she didn't look back, but patted him on his arm, and then leaned over and said, "I'm thinking about my father." ”

Xiao Yue let out a 'hmm' sound, wrapped one hand around her, sat down on the trunk beside her, and said lazily, "What's wrong with my father-in-law?" ”

Gu Nian bit his lip for a long time and said, "There is one thing, I didn't want to tell you, because I don't have a score, and I'm afraid that I will be too careful, but I don't want to think about it alone."

Didn't I make you a purse and tie it a few days ago? When my father saw that you did, he came to me and asked me...... Of course I prepared his share of ......."

Xiao Yue snorted in his nose, he couldn't look at such a person, where was Lao Tzu and his son-in-law to snatch favor.

Gu Nian touched his face soothingly with his backhand, and continued, "After my father asked me to take the purse, he asked me to ask me to make rouge, and I picked a few boxes for him. ”

Xiao Yue was puzzled when he heard this, "He asked you for rouge?" What kind of rouge does he want as a bachelor? ”

"I don't know, and I think it's weird." Gu Nian couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be that he has someone in his heart?" Xiao Yue moved his feet, he was tall and long-legged, and this trunk was low, so he had to curl up his legs aggrievedly.

Gu Nian spread his hands, although he had always said that he would not interfere with his father's continuation, when he heard what Xiao Yue said, he didn't want to accept this possibility, but he didn't know how to explain it.

"It's not good to say, after all, my mother has passed away for so many years, and my father just has someone in his heart, which is normal."

Gu Nian spread his hands and said slowly, with a slightly sour tone.

Xiao Yue didn't see it that way, he said, "There is not a single person in the city who can enter the eyes of his father-in-law, otherwise so many women hate to eat him raw, and he is not tempted." ”

From a man's point of view, there are only so many empty spaces in the heart, and it is impossible for a person to occupy it and then have a place for others. Moreover, Gu Shi'an's vision is extremely picky, the kind that would rather be lacking than excessive.

If there is really a woman he likes in the capital, it must be very outstanding, and it shouldn't be obscure, right? It's even less likely that they won't be able to see any clues.

Again, if he wants to use rouge to get close to the beauty, he can go to the emperor to ask for something made in the palace, why bother to find Nian Nian to take the homemade?

Xiao Yue touched his chin and thought for a long time, and said, "Could it be that he is hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house, and you are being kept in the dark?" ”

Gu Nian pushed him and said angrily, "Impossible." ”

She hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "What's even more strange is that on the day Princess An almost had a miscarriage at Izumo Temple, I was in the temple and smelled the rouge incense I made...... In the body of a woman I married to Zhuangzi......"

"It's that Aunt Ji."

Xiao Yue was stunned.

"You really have a sweetheart? If that's the case, there's no way to do it, can you still stop your dad from continuing? ”

After he finished speaking, he gently held her chin and turned to himself, chuckled, and said, "He continued the string, let him continue the string, you and me." ”

Gu Nian had no intention of telling him this, and was worried about Gu Shi'an's affairs, but when he saw him looking at him with affection, he suddenly laughed out loud.

I didn't pay attention to it just now because I was thinking about it, but when I put my mind down, I smelled a very faint smell of blood on his body, turned around slightly and frowned and asked, "Where have you been today?" Injured? ”

Xiao Yue held her hand, raised his face to look at the branches that came in from outside the courtyard, and said slowly, "No, I just went to the Yamen." Accidentally contaminated. ”

He put his legs that had been curled up on the ground, pulled her to her feet, and said, "Let's stop blowing the wind under the eaves, let's go, I'll take you to see a new sword that I got today." ”

Gu Nian turned his head to look at Xiao Yue and said, "Your sword, you are rare, what to take me to see, I can't understand it." ”

Xiao Yue glanced at her and said lazily, "My sword must be understood by me, and you must understand it, I am rare, and you must be rare." ”

He continued to say complacently, "I have two peerless swords, one to protect you and the other to serve you. ”

Gu Nian paused, glanced at him again, and immediately beat him and said, "If you accidentally open the yellow cavity, you really should let your subordinates see it." ”

Xiao Yue held her hand, and said in a rambling voice, "This is the truth, why is it what you say?" ”

Gu Nian glared back.

Since the two discussed Gu Shi'an's abnormality, in the following days, they had to pay attention to Gu Shi'an, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, there is basically no trace, except for the Rouge incident, there is nothing to reverie again.

Not only Gu Shi'an doesn't have it here, but even Aunt Ji doesn't have it.

Gu Nian had to feel that he was suspicious.

In the final analysis, Gu Nian has no doubts about her father's intentions, even if she really has a sweetheart, except for being a little sour, it is impossible for her to oppose it.

Although she doesn't want to be the last person to know, the current situation can only wait for the day when the truth will be revealed.

Gu Nian often took Xu'er to Anyuan's Marquis Mansion to visit the eldest princess of the Protector's Country, Xu'er naturally became good partners with Zhou Yuyan's son Chen'er, and when she didn't go to the Hou Mansion, Zhou Yuyan would also take Chen'er to the palace.

On this day, Zhou Yuyan brought Chen'er over to accompany Xu'er, and the two boys met and began to go to the house to play crazy.

Gu Nian instructed his subordinates to follow the two of them, so he sat with Zhou Yuyan to eat tea and chat.

A subordinate hurriedly entered the door and said, "Princess, His Royal Highness King An has arrived." ”

Gu Nian, who was flipping through the booklet, looked surprised, it was possible for King An Lin Rui to come to Xiao Yue, but the porter knew Xiao Yue's whereabouts, and before he entered the door, he would return to the palace clearly, knowing that Xiao Yue was not at home, but he came to the palace, what was the matter?

Gu Nian and Zhou Yuyan were both a little surprised.

"Please wait for His Royal Highness King An to sit in the living room, the prince is not at home, go and ask Zhang Changshi to accompany you." Gu Nian commanded.

Lin Rui is a male guest, and Xiao Yue is not at home, so he is naturally the chief historian first.

She is a backhouse maid, and there is no reason for her aunt to accompany her nephew.

The subordinate said in a hurry, "The little one has already asked people to invite Lord Changshi, but His Royal Highness King An said that he wanted to see the princess." ”

"See me?" Gu Nian raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Change clothes." ”

She said to Zhou Yuyan, "Cousin, you sit here, I'll go ahead and have a look." ”

The hair is recombed, the clothes are changed inside and out, and the clothes on the body are the same, even if you don't need to comb according to the product, the dress must be very neat, from the hair to the soles of the shoes can not find the slightest mistake.

Also because of the careful dressing, Gu Nian was already half an hour later when he was in the living room, followed by Mama Qin, Astragalus and other maids in the room who could bring everything they could.

Lin Rui, who was sitting in the living room, was already impatient, added tea over and over again, poured a stomach full of tea, and finally waited for Gu Nian.

The face can't help but be a little ugly and gloomy.

Lin Rui sat on the chair and didn't move, after Gu Nian sat down at the top, he said, "I didn't know that King An had arrived, and I didn't have time to make up, so I was afraid that I would neglect His Highness, so I specially cleaned up the table, and asked the prince not to blame." ”

Originally, Gu Nian didn't want to say this, but considering that she had already made people wait for half an hour, she still had to do her best.

Lin Rui's face slowed down slightly, and he said, "The imperial aunt is too polite. ”

"The prince is not at home, I don't know what is the so-called matter that King An suddenly came to the palace?"

Lin Rui's face, which had been slightly relieved, suddenly darkened again, and said with a little emotion, "I heard that Uncle Nine detained the envoys of the Northern Barbarians a few days ago, but is there such a thing?" ”

Gu Nian pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? I'm just an inner house woman, the female protagonist is inside, the male protagonist is outside, and I really don't ask what the prince is doing outside. ”

After Xiao Yue came back that day, he had already told her what had happened, but he didn't know what Lin Rui was for coming to ask about this matter?

Lin Rui smiled lightly, "My father intends to negotiate with the Northern Barbarians this time, but the Northern Barbarian envoy was detained by the Ninth Uncle, and the Father was very angry. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Rui paused, looked like he wanted to say something, and looked directly at Gu Nian.

Gu Nian didn't arouse his curiosity at all, but said in surprise, "Did the prince come to the mansion to report the news?" That's really thankful, I will definitely let the prince go to the emperor to defend himself, I believe that the prince must have done this for a reason. ”

Lin Rui suddenly couldn't stop a little, Gu Nian always didn't answer like this, which made him feel like he couldn't speak, so he went straight to the point,

"Originally, I wanted to help Uncle Jiu, and I went to Shuntian Mansion, thinking that even if I was scolded by my father, I had to release the person first, so that Uncle Jiu could be punished less.

Unexpectedly, after I went, Liu Qingshan said that there was no Uncle Jiu, and he couldn't let it go...... This...... I came here on purpose, hoping that Aunt Nine could persuade Uncle Nine to let him go, so that my father would suppress this matter, not only not to destroy the peace talks, but also for Uncle Nine's face. ”

Gu Nian smiled and said, "King An is so planning for the Jin Palace, and he has such a good attention, why don't you discuss it with my prince?" Even if the prince of my family is not at home, he can also discuss with the chief of the house, why find me a woman in the house who knows everything? ”

Lin Rui sighed, and said with sorrow between his eyebrows, "Aunt Nine and Uncle Nine are husband and wife, and Uncle Nine respects and loves you so much, your persuasion must be more effective than others, I quietly went to release the person, and then appeased it, the matter is over, and no one mentions it again." Isn't that a great joy for all? ”

"His Royal Highness King An, how old is this to coax me as a child? Even my family Xu'er wouldn't be so deceived by you. Gu Nian's voice was a little higher, he sneered, and looked at Lin Rui,

"I know very well His Royal Highness King An's thoughts, but I just think that I am a female streamer, so I can scare a few words casually, and I will be at the mercy of His Royal Highness King An.

persuade me to go and talk to the prince about this, to tell you the truth, the prince and I have already told you that what he arrested is just a few people who pretend to be envoys, and they are swaggering liars.

Why is His Royal Highness King An so concerned? Isn't it that those people have anything to do with King An? Or were they simply sent by King An to assassinate our prince?

You are the prince of the Dongli Dynasty, even if those people are really the envoys of the Northern Barbarians, but they assassinate our prince, you shouldn't be able to bear it, and let me persuade our prince to release him? Is this for the Jin Palace? ”

Originally, she didn't want to quarrel with Lin Rui, and she didn't have to tear her face, but Lin Rui took her as a fool, and she couldn't bear it.

Lin Rui still wanted to manipulate her, so naturally he wouldn't be polite.

Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he said angrily, "Okay, kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and when I see that the time has ruined the peace talks, who will bear this responsibility?" ”

He didn't want to take care of this matter, he wished that Xiao Yue would make a mess, but recently, he had just received a strategist who heard about this matter and reminded him that this matter could be used.

With the emperor, his image is no longer very good, so he can only improve it outside.

This envoy incident can be used and dealt with well, so that the emperor can know the advantages of his general knowledge and the overall situation, and at the same time, it can also make Xiao Yue's image worse with the Northern Barbarians.

He originally wanted to let people go and make a good impression on the Beiban side, but he didn't expect Liu Qingshan to be a person who didn't eat oil and salt, so he didn't let it go.

In this case, he thought of Gu Nian, a woman in the back house, who didn't even go out of the door much, if he could scare or bluff her, and let her go to make trouble with Xiao Yue, when the time came, no matter whether he let go or not, Xiao Yue's inner house would be uneven.

"I'm a woman in the back house, and I never know anything outside, thank you His Royal Highness King An for your kindness......" Gu Nian laughed mockingly, and then said word by word, "Please ask His Royal Highness King An to discuss with my prince and send off guests." ”

Lin Rui was almost blasted out, Gu Nian directly issued an eviction order, although the subordinates of the palace were very polite, but their good attitudes were very limited.

Until he arrived at the gate of the Jin Palace, Lin Rui was a little dazed, and what happened just now made him feel unreal.

His grandiose eldest son was unexpectedly blasted out by a person with a foreign surname from the prince's mansion......

"Lord, let's go back first......" The entourage who followed him whispered, and when he came, he stopped him, but he didn't expect the prince to listen to him, and rushed directly from the Shuntian Mansion.

If Gu Nian said it in a good voice, forget it, but he was teased first, and his mind was broken, and he didn't give any chance, so he swept the floor and went out directly.

Unexpectedly, Princess Jin ...... It's really a ruthless character.

"She, how dare she ...... like this" Lin Rui trembled angrily, half angry, half ashamed.

The entourage patted Lin Rui's ass and said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise in the world, why should the prince bother with a villain." ”

This entourage has been serving Lin Rui, and he was also present the last time Lin Rui knocked over Princess Jin's carriage at the gate of the palace, and the prince was also speechless by Princess Jin at that time, but he didn't expect that this time the prince would dare to go to Princess Jin......

As soon as Lin Rui was about to leave, he saw a small figure running through the door, and when he looked at it, it was Xu'er.

His heart moved, and he shouted, "Xu'er......"

Xu'er was playing hide and seek with Chen'er, Chen'er hid too well, he couldn't find him for a while, and somehow walked to the gate.

Lin Rui raised his feet and wanted to enter the door of the palace, but the subordinate who had just driven him out had not left, and when he saw that he was about to come in, he hurriedly stopped him.

Xu'er knew Lin Rui, and he said politely, "Brother Rui." ”

After calling someone, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Xu'er, why did you get to the gate?" Lin Rui saw that the people in the palace didn't let him in, so he stood by the side door and talked to Xu'er.

He had a smile on his face and a kind face.

Xu Er stepped back and said, "I'm playing hide and seek with Cousin Chen." ”

Lin Rui paused for a moment and asked, "Where is your morning cousin?" ”

Xu Er Yaoyao nodded and said, "He hid and didn't find it." ”

"Then I'll help you find it, okay?" Lin Rui said softly.

Xu Er became happy, "Brother Rui also wants to play with Cousin Chen?" Follow me. ”

After speaking, he dragged Lin Rui inside.

The subordinate who had just driven Lin Rui out wanted to go up to stop him, but he didn't dare to go up, after all, no matter how Lin Rui was, he was also a prince, and just now, it was Xiao Shizi who pulled him in.

Several people glanced at each other, and one of them understood, and ran to report to Gu Nian.

The others followed Xu'er and went to the back garden.

The back garden of the palace is the most heavily defended place, first, because Xu'er likes to play here on weekdays, and there is a big lake in the garden.

Second, because the back garden is often a favorite place for some young people, they all think that the back garden is unmanned, the defense is weak, and they sneak in.

In addition to Yang Shun's subordinates, there are also a few secret guards in the shadows.

Yang Shun was given to Xu'er by the first emperor, he was not very old, but he was a person who had stayed in the deep palace, and when he saw Lin Rui like this, he knew that he was not a good person.

When Xu'er pulled Lin Rui just now, he told Xu'er that Chen'er was in the back garden.

Generally, the layout of the palace is similar, Lin Rui saw Xu Er dragging him to the back garden, and his heart was inexplicably happy, the back garden was empty, he could do whatever he wanted.

Xu Er dragged him in front, although he hadn't thought about what to do, but he had already thought of a way out.

"Xu'er, you go slowly, be careful of bumps." He let Xu'er drag him away, and pretended to remind him in his mouth. However, there is still no discount at the slightest.

Seeing that Xu Er was following behind, he ran more cheerfully, Yang Shun exchanged glances with the secret guards who were secretly guarding Xu Er, and each of them outflanked him, following Xu Er and Lin Rui.

After entering the back garden, I saw Chen'er, who Xu Er was looking for, waving to Xu Er on the other side of the lake, "Brother, I'm here, come quickly, come quickly." ”

Lin Rui was overjoyed when he saw the big lake, he didn't want to do anything bad, but now he has an idea.

He let go of Xu'er's hand and told him to run to the opposite side.

Xu'er wanted to catch Chen'er, and ran around the river bank to the opposite side.

Lin Rui followed behind and looked back, Yang Shun was still panting behind him, catching up with him and falling behind him a lot.

As he walked quickly, he hung his head and kicked a stone on his toes, pretending that he was unintentional and was about to kick Xu'er's calf.

The princes in the palace, especially Lin Rui, were the prince's children in the past, and in order to prevent accidents, the prince invited a martial artist to teach the princes of the East Palace martial arts.

No matter how well you learn, you still have the basic kung fu.

Xu'er ran along the lake, and the stone kicked by Lin Rui flew over, which was to let him fall into the lake.

Even if you can't let Xu'er do anything, it's not bad to make Xiao Yue and Gu Nian deflated.

However, before he had a chance to hit Xu'er, his toes had just been raised, and two people sprang out from the bushes on the side, and one of them kicked him into the lake.

The emperor invited a martial artist to teach martial arts, but he didn't let anyone teach him the skills of swimming......

After Lin Rui fell into the lake, the lake surrounded him in all directions, until he fell into the water, he still couldn't believe that all this was true.

"You sluts...... How dare you kick me overboard......"

He was fluttering and shouting in the lake, and for a while, the entire back garden of the Jin King's Mansion was filled with his angry voice.

Xu Er was running, and suddenly heard a scream like killing a pig, stopped, looked back, and suddenly stared at the person in the lake with wide eyes and open his mouth wide.

Chen'er, who had summoned Xu'er on the other side of the lake just now, saw that he stopped and ran over.

He took Xu'er's hand and said, "Brother, be careful, stay away, that person will definitely accidentally fall into the lake." ”

Xu'er took a small step back, and said to Chen'er in a suppressed voice, "Brother Chen, maybe he wants to go to the lake to take a bath?" ”

Chen'er suppressed the smile in her eyes and nodded solemnly, "Well, what you said may be right, but, Xu'er, you can't learn from him." ”

"I'm not sick in the head." Xu'er pouted.

Gu Nian beckoned to the two of them in the distance, and after the two of them ran over, he held one in one hand and said, "You're tired of playing, the small kitchen has made you delicious pastries, let's rest first." ”

Xu Er tilted her head and said to Gu Nian, "Mother, Brother Rui is taking a bath in our lake." ”

Gu Nian didn't even look at the lake, and said softly, "Mother knows, your brother Rui thinks that the lake in King An's Mansion is too small, so come to our mansion to borrow it."

Let's not bother him. ”

Chen'er twitched the corners of her mouth, and Xu'er snickered twice.

Brother Rui thinks he's stupid? He deliberately took him to the back garden just now, but he still remembers the last time he was in the side hall of the imperial study, Brother Rui scolded him for being a 'little cub'.

He didn't know what it meant, but it was his uncle who told him about it.

Uncle Huang said that the sky was broken, and he came to block it.

Therefore, he lent the lake at home to Brother Rui for 'bathing', and Uncle Huang shouldn't blame him.

Lin Rui was fluttering in the water, his intestines were about to repent, where did he expect that there would be an ambush in the back garden of King Jin's mansion?

Whenever he wanted to get out of the water and save himself, it was as if someone was pulling him underwater, preventing him from moving, and even pulling him down to the surface.

In this way, he has been up and down for a long time, and no one has come to save him.

When Lin Rui was up and down in the Jinwangfu Lake, struggling, Xu'er and Chen'er had already eaten dim sum.

The two of them didn't know where to get two large pieces of ice, and when they went to the back garden, they saw that Lin Rui was still soaking in the water, so they actually let people hang two pieces of ice on Lin Rui's body.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, since Brother Rui likes to take a bath, let's take a good dip, after all, the lake in the Jin Wangfu is not often borrowed.
