Gu Yao's fingers plucked the strings, which was not skillful, but it was far from clumsy.

But she deliberately looked clumsy.

Lu Zheng approached Gu Yao from behind, opened his arms as if holding her in his arms, and pressed his hands on the strings.

From time to time, their fingers would collide in one place.

Lu Zheng carefully taught Gu Yao to play Sauvignon Blanc, Gu Yao's thick eyelashes were lowered, her eyes were gentle, quiet and quiet.

And the arrogant Guan Shihou also seemed to have faded away from his pride and calculation, focusing on teaching the girl in his arms to play the qin.

The melodious sound of the piano is melodious.

The girl is stunning, the boy is beautiful, and they figure each other out, and the affection is lingering, forming a very beautiful picture.

Although Lu Zheng's guards were scattered around, no one would rush over to disturb them.

It's just that a two-story tea room was built outside the back garden of the Gu family for viewing.

It was originally for Gu Siye to enjoy.

At this time, in the tea room, Lord Zhao Lian sat in it with the four princes, and Gu Qing personally entertained the four princes.

Gu Qing attaches great importance to the four princes.

He has not taken refuge in any of His Royal Highnesses so far, and the fourth prince suddenly came to the Gu family accompanied by Lord Zhao Lian to congratulate him, and Gu Qing was surprised.

After all, the fourth prince has always been introverted and silent, and has never shown the ambition to be the crown prince.

On the contrary, his half-brother Eighth Emperor is the strongest.

Gu Qing chatted with the four princes, neither too flattering, but also close.

During this period, the four princes asked about the officials in Jiangnan, and Gu Qing explained it very clearly.

He has entered the cabinet, but he still has a lot of influence in the ministry, and Gu Qing can speak to the appointment of some officials.

"There was a Beijing inspection this year, and almost all the officials were very cautious, for fear of being caught by the officials sent out by the Ministry of Officials to inspect it."

Gu Qing held the teacup and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't have to worry about the doorman. ”

Blowing the tender green tea leaves in the teacup, Gu Qing continued: "Lord Jia, who served as the imperial historian in Jiangnan, has a good official reputation, Your Majesty has a lot of dissatisfaction with the imperial history yamen, and there is a false accusation by the Wang family, Your Majesty may still transfer Lord Jia back to the capital in order to compensate for the wronged Lord He." ”

This Lord Jia is not very good with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and it should be said that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince looks down on Lord He, who is flattering and greedy for money.

Now the fourth prince is not too obvious, and he is afraid of making Lord He unhappy.

However, Lord Zhao Lian, the teacher of the Four Princes, has always been tough against Lord He, even though he was imprisoned in the prison by Emperor Longqing for many days, he was willing to bow to Emperor Longqing after he came out, but he never gave in to Lord He.

The eyes of the fourth prince sank slightly, "Gu Ge Lao is really well-informed, and His Royal Highness still doesn't know the news that Jia Yushi is about to be promoted back to Beijing." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's just a little rumor, who can go to the Imperial History Yamen still depends on Your Majesty's intentions, and the lower officials are just chatting with the Fourth Highness." ”

"I heard that Lord He wants to marry his beloved daughter to Gu Ge Lao's nephew?"

The four princes paused for a moment, looked at the scenery outside the teahouse, and saw the pair of beautiful people playing the qin under the peach tree in the distance.

He doesn't have the strange illness of Emperor Longqing, even if he is far away, he can vaguely see a stunning and gentle girl.

Because he prefers Gu Shan, the most he hears from her mouth is that Gu Yao loves to show off and is arrogant and rude.

made the four princes ignore Gu Yao's beauty, and instinctively regarded Gu Yao as a frivolous and vain woman.

However, his trusted mentor, Lord Zhao Lian, actually went to the Gu family to propose to Gu Yao in person for his grandson, and after being rejected by the Gu family, Zhao Lian was quite regretful in his words.

And said that whoever marries Gu Yao can prosper for three generations.

You must know that Zhao Lian has a pedantic temperament, and he often talks about the words that a woman is virtuous if she is talentless.

He was impressed by Gu Yao, and the fourth prince knew that Lu Zheng and Gu Yao had already made a marriage, so he simply asked the secret guard to investigate Gu Yao carefully.

Today, the four princes were amazed by Gu Yao's beauty, she was thrillingly beautiful, and she was a little sharp.

But at this time, the four princes were far away, and they could still feel Gu Yao's tenderness for Lu Zheng.

Gu Qing followed the gaze of the fourth prince, and a smile of relief appeared on his lips.

In the past, he would be worried that Lu Zheng would not die well and implicate his younger brother.

Now Gu Qing gradually understands that none of these princes can calculate Lu Zheng.

The younger brother Gu Siye and Lu Zheng will only live better.

Gu Qing couldn't grasp Gu Jin's ambitions, but he vaguely guessed that Gu Jin had an agreement with Lu Zheng.

No matter what kind of agreement it is, Gu Qing, who has always thought that the power of the minister can compete with the imperial power, is still happy to see the two talented geniuses join forces.

Gu Qing looks like a loyal and honest minister on the outside, and he also has the ambition to be a minister deep down, he doesn't dare to despise Lord He, but he won't pin everything on the emperor.

Otherwise, he would not have become the leader of a party in the imperial court.

Gu Jinneng wanted to limit the imperial power when he was young, fearless of His Majesty, and was more or less influenced by Gu Qing.

"The third son of the fourth eldest in Lord He's photo, Gu Jue."

Gu Qing replied lightly: "He can't study, so he can only transfer to martial arts, and now he is the captain of the Shenji Battalion, with his uncle's help, I don't have to worry about his future." ”

The fourth prince withdrew his gaze from the outside, hiding his reluctance and curiosity, and turned to face Gu Qing, "The father intends to appoint Gu Ge Lao as the second assistant, and Lord He is already the first assistant by the father's default, if the two families marry, it will have little impact on Lord He, and the father still needs Lord He, but Gu Ge Lao ......"

"If Your Majesty asks the minister to be the second assistant, it means that Your Majesty trusts the minister, and the minister will definitely serve the public and serve Your Majesty."

Gu Qing took a sip of tea, "The Fourth Highness also knows that the ministers have no children so far, first raised the younger brother and the fourth brother, and then spent all their efforts on Brother Jin'er, as for Brother Jue, I am not afraid of the jokes of the Fourth Highness, I have not done my best to him, and the number of times I meet every year is limited." ”

He pressed his forehead, a little funny: "Brother Jue followed the fourth child in his studies, and the fourth child has exhausted me, so I have a headache when I see him." ”

"What's more, it's just a marriage between the fourth child and Lord He, and Brother Jue is the second son."

Gu Qing gradually restrained his jokes and became much more serious: "The Gu family is always handed over to Brother Jin, and the inheritance and wealth of the Gu family is more important than that of a family's children." The Gu family is limited in what they can help Brother Jue, so who Brother Jue's wife is is not enough to influence the ministers. ”

The four princes stared at Gu Qing for a long time like eagles.

Gu Qing said softly: "The first assistant and the second assistant are fighting against each other, causing turmoil in the imperial court and continuous party and government, which is not the blessing of the society." Your Majesty is a frank and enlightened monarch, and naturally hopes that all the courtiers will work together, civil and military, and jointly assist Your Majesty in creating the foundation of the empire for all generations.

The fourth prince's body shook slightly.

"The Fourth Highness came to the minister's mansion today, and the minister had a word for His Highness."

Gu Qing curled his beard and said: "Marriage does not mean that you can't betray, the fourth prince is not worth spending effort on this matter, focus on the overall situation, maybe you have an unexpected gain." ”
