In the car, Su Jinyao asked curiously, "When did you choose the gift for me for everyone, I don't know at all." ”

Gu Xuebin smiled after hearing this, shook his head and said, "This is really not my credit, someone is just doing it for me." ”

Su Jinyao was so smart that she suddenly thought of someone and asked, "Is it Feng Shusheng?" ”

Gu Xuebin raised his eyebrows and nodded, "It's him." This kid should have intended to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. That jade wrench was given to Gu Yuxuan by him for me. ”

After hearing this, Su Jinyao was sure again that the little girl in Feng Shusheng's heart should be Gu Yuxuan.

In this way, Uncle Feng ran to the Gu family when he was a child, and he tried his best to integrate the relationship between the two families, which makes sense.

It seems that it is not that Feng Shusheng is so generous, nor that he is prescient, but that he has made up his mind to work Gu Yuxuan, so he can't watch the relationship between the two families deteriorate.

But looking back, if this family affair can really be done, it will be a good marriage.

Not to mention that the two families are really a good match, just Feng Shusheng, this kid has been in love for several years, and it seems that he will not snub Gu Yuxuan.

In addition, Feng Shusheng is actually smart and scheming, thick-skinned and coaxing, if Gu Yuxuan is with him, then someone will be meticulously pampered with his big temperament, which is also a blessing for her.

Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao was stunned, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and smiled, and said, "You take Feng Shusheng's gift to Gu Yuxuan, our prince's mansion doesn't have any treasures." ”

Gu Xuebin said: "Why didn't you take it, I promised Feng Shusheng to be a clerk under me." There has been no good position to settle him before, but yesterday he came to discuss with me again, saying that he wanted to ask for an official and a half-position as soon as possible, so as not to produce talents after the spring exam, and he may be compared to the top three this year. ”

Su Jinyao didn't expect that Feng Shusheng still had such thoughts. It seems that he is not the second generation of officials who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, but he is planning his own path with thought and planning.

Such people are the most intelligent, and it can be said that they plan things step by step, step by step, and only go at their own pace.

And Su Jinyao feels that such a smart person can be the best partner, but he may also become the most powerful opponent.

Gu Xuebin saw her focus from Su Jinyao's eyes, smiled and shook Su Jinyao's hand and said, "Jinyao, you don't have to worry about what my people are thinking, I can naturally know people and be good."

Use. ”

Su Jinyao pondered, and it was right. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't even tell who is available, who needs to be guarded against, and who is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, then he will definitely not be a good emperor in the future.

The two talked and returned to the prince's mansion. It's just noon, and it's still early for the sun to go down.

Gu Xuebin asked Su Jinyao to go back and take a nap, and he went to deal with some government affairs. also said that when Su Jinyao woke up, he would take her into the palace.

After all, Su Jinyao is also the official crown princess, and she didn't ask for peace for a day or two, but she can't always go to the palace to see the emperor, the queen mother and the queen.

Su Jinyao said: "Then can't you go now?" I'm not sleepy, so I don't have to take a nap. ”

Gu Xuebin stretched out his hand and scooped Su Jinyao into his arms.

Then he squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "At this hour, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are also going to rest." My father's health is not very good, and he is much better after getting your medicine, and he is usually taking a nap at this time, so we have to wait when we enter the palace now. However, if Jinyao is really not sleepy, we can do something else. ”

Su Jinyao didn't pay much attention to Gu Xuebin's words in the first half, but when he heard him say the last two sentences, Su Jinyao knew what he was thinking.

Thinking of their lingering all night, Su Jinyao suddenly wilted, and hurriedly said, "Sleep, I'll sleep." And I don't like to be woken up when I'm taking a nap, so you might as well go about your business. ”

Gu Xuebin let go of Su Jinyao at this time, but he still pecked her on the lips before letting go.

Su Jinyao hurriedly walked to the backyard, as if she was afraid that Gu Xuebin would catch up.

Gu Xuebin said with a smile behind his back: "Jinyao have a good rest and nourish her spirit." ”

Su Jinyao's footsteps paused, and she always felt that she had fallen into the pit again. But if I don't sleep now, I'm afraid I won't have to sleep at night.

After struggling for a long time, Su Jinyao still "escaped".

Seeing the back of Su Jinyao leaving, Gu Xuebin's smile could be sweet.

Although she said that she was not sleepy just now, as soon as she lay down, Su Jinyao fell asleep after a while.

Fortunately, she still remembered that she was going to enter the palace, so she got up after sleeping for about half an hour. After dressing up and tidying up by myself, I went to the study to find Gu Xuebin.

When she came to the door of the study, Su Jinyao did not knock on the door, but listened carefully, thinking about whether to suddenly break in and scare him, or to learn what cat or dog bark at the door to tease him.

It's just that she didn't expect that after hearing this, Su Jinyao found that the study was quiet, and it didn't look like someone?

Listening carefully, Su Jinyao heard Gu Xuebin's long breathing, as if he was asleep.

Su Jinyao gently pressed the door leaf and pushed it in with her hand. This reduces the force on the axle and prevents it from making a sound.

Pushing open a crack in the door, Su Jinyao saw Gu Xuebin lying on the desk, still holding a pen in his hand, but he was already asleep at the desk.

Su Jinyao understood that since the day of the wedding, he had not had a good rest. I stayed up for most of the night last night, and the people who were beaten with iron couldn't stand it.

But why doesn't this guy go back to his room and take a nap? Is it because of yourself?

Thinking that she had slept quite peacefully this night, Su Jinyao realized that Gu Xuebin was afraid that she would be tired of being with herself, and she couldn't help but be sweet, but she still quarreled and couldn't sleep peacefully.

The momentum of the Gu family army is not as good as before

Looking at Gu Xuebin who was sleeping on the table through a door, Su Jinyao was sweet and angry in her heart. I'm angry that this guy doesn't sleep well at night, and he's going to get tired of it.

But I feel sorry for him now, lying on the desk and being able to fall asleep.

Su Jinyao simply stopped making a sound, and didn't want to disturb Gu Xuebin's sleep. He took a step back and sat down on the steps in front of the door. Guarding him at such close range, you can wait for him to wake up with peace of mind.

After a long while, when Su Jinyao felt that her tailbone was a little numb while sitting on the stone steps, there was a voice in the room.

Su Jinyao hurriedly turned around, and saw Gu Xuebin sitting up straight, but looking at the paper in front of him with a look of annoyance.

Su Jinyao quickly stood up, and as she walked inside, she asked, "Awake?" Is it a stained document? ”

Gu Xuebin looked up and was slightly surprised when he saw Su Jinyao pushing the door in, and rubbed his eyes before saying, "Jinyao, when did you come?" ”

"It's been here for a while. Seeing that you were sleeping deeply, he waited at the door. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she looked at the table, and saw that what Gu Xuebin was in front of her was the portrait she painted yesterday.

Just because Gu Xuebin fell asleep, the pen in her hand dropped an ink spot, which happened to drop on her neck. The snow-white slender neck is stained with such a stroke, which is really a big spoiling scenery, and it lacks that pure beauty.

"Jin Yao, I wanted to finish this painting while I was here." Gu Xuebin couldn't help but sigh, and then dropped his pen and grabbed the painting.

Su Jinyao saw that something was wrong, so she hurriedly went over and grabbed it, and said, "Didn't you say that this painting is not torn?" ”

"But it's dirty." Gu Xuebin also shook his head regretfully, and said: "I originally thought that this was the most charming painting, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

"Then don't tear it either." Su Jinyao thought about it, then smiled and said, "Just draw a silk scarf and tie it around your neck." How good this painting is, the charm is there, and the painting is beautiful enough, I really can't bear it. ”

Gu Xuebin naturally didn't want to see Su Jinyao's disappointed appearance, sighed again, then nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll just think about adding a silk scarf to this painting." ”

But now I can't continue to paint, after all, it's not too early, and I have to go to the palace.

Gu Xuebin put the painting back away. Su Jinyao helped him wash the pen and hang it on the pen holder, and the two went out together.

Su Jinyao asked, "If you enter the palace, do you need to prepare gifts?" ”

"Naturally, not." Gu Xuebin said with a smile: "Instead, it should be your father's reward for you." Or what you like, just ask your father for it directly. ”

"I ......" Su Jinyao thought for a moment and pursed her lips, as if she really had something to say.

Gu Xuebin grabbed Su Jinyao, brushed the hair between her sideburns, and asked, "Jinyao really has something she likes?" Then you can tell me about it, too. ”

"It's not something I like." Su Jinyao still hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked around, before saying, "I want the ownership of Seventeen, I want Seventeen to be free." ”

"Huh?" Gu Xuebin didn't expect that Su Jinyao actually wanted this. And Su Jinyao also mentioned it before, but she didn't say what she meant.

So Gu Xuebin was only slightly surprised, and asked, "Jin Yao, why are you still thinking about this matter?" ”

"It's certainly not because of me." Su Jinyao thought about it, but decided to tell Gu Xuebin the truth, and told her what she observed, maybe Gu Xueqi said something interesting to Seventeen.

After finishing speaking, Su Jinyao said again: "I know that it is impossible for the two of them. But Seventeen is also on the way to Qingfan, and I have experienced life and death, and I still trust him very much. Even if it's in return, I want him to be free and have a good future. ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "This may only be said to my father." But you don't have a better reason to bring it up, and it doesn't make sense at all. ”

In other words, Su Jinyao definitely couldn't tell the emperor directly, saying that Gu Xueqi of the Gu family had a good impression of Seventeen, and if the emperor didn't let him go, the two of them would be even more useless.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao really came up with an idea, so she said: "It is said that when our Gu Family Army is still employing people, I want to take Seventeen under my command, is it okay?" ”

As she spoke, Su Jinyao took out the Gu Family Army token given to her by the old man and said, "My father should also know that on my way to Beijing, I have subdued twenty-four cottages, and even the young master of Heming Mountain has become my sworn sister. Seventeen is someone I can trust, I want him to manage these stragglers, and then officially take over the Gu Family Army. ”

"This ......" Gu Xuebin frowned again after hearing this, and said, "Why do you think the Gu family army is not as strong as before, and it has not expanded its armaments for many years?" ”

Su Jinyao was so smart, of course, she immediately understood Gu Xuebin's hint.

It is estimated that the emperor is also jealous of the Gu family's army, otherwise when the three generals of the Gu family, that is, Su Jinyao's biological father, were killed, this matter should be thoroughly investigated to the end.

It can also be said that the emperor deliberately suppressed the development of the Gu family army to a certain extent.

Gu Xuebin saw Su Jinyao frowning, thought about it again, and said, "Maybe there is another way now, I can help you talk about it." ”

Su Jinyao asked, "What's the way?" ”

Gu Xuebin said directly: "Let Feng Shusheng go to co-opt these people for you, and let Seventeen be Feng Shusheng's deputy." This is tantamount to a rebalance of power between the two sides. ”

Su Jinyao understood that in the emperor's opinion, there has always been a gap between the Feng family and the Gu family, so letting the Feng family contain the Gu family is also a way.

Of course, the emperor should not know that Feng Shusheng is from the prince's side now, so the hope for this matter is also quite big.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao said: "Okay, of course Seventeen won't mind if he is a deputy or not, Feng Shusheng is still a trustworthy person, so let's do it." ”

After agreeing, Gu Xuebin took Su Jinyao directly into the palace.

Because they had to rush back before sunset, the two of them didn't stay in the palace when they came to the palace, and went directly to the emperor's side.

At the same time, he also asked the chief manager of the palace to send a message to the queen mother and the queen, saying that the crown prince brought the crown princess into the palace to ask for peace, and he would go to the other two sides later.

According to this hour, the emperor should be in the imperial study. As soon as Gu Xuebin took Su Jinyao here, the chief eunuch said that he would invite him in directly, saying that the emperor had already received the news.

The imperial study is not as majestic as imagined, nor is it so luxurious and rich, but it is elegant and quiet.

Although the emperor was sitting behind the dragon case, he was not domineering, but saw Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin walking side by side, and smiled gently.

Also seventeen freedoms

Su Jinyao secretly observed, and found that there was a bit of love and envy in the emperor's smile.

Presumably, as the emperor, although there are countless beauties in the harem, he also envies their sincere love and free feelings.

Of course, Su Jinyao would not be stupid enough to ask the emperor what he was thinking at this time. She just followed Gu Xuebin and respectfully saluted the emperor.

The emperor said: "The newlywed Yan'er is really in love." When does Che'er plan to leave Beijing and take Jinyao with her relatives? ”

Gu Xuebin said: "Back to my father, it will be early the day after tomorrow." Because he was in a hurry, he no longer came to his father to resign. ”

"Well, it's okay, let's go early and come back early." After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Su Jinyao again and said, "Jinyao, what do you think of my father's complexion?" After taking the prescription you prescribed, I did sleep a lot better than before. It's just a bit snooze, but it's not very good. ”

Su Jinyao took a step forward and looked at the emperor's complexion seriously, especially his eyes.

Then he said: "Back to my father, my complexion is really much better." As for being thirsty and sleeping now, it is because my father is worried about the country and the people, and he works hard for the people day and night, so he has become ill. My prescription is to let the emperor rest more so that he can recuperate his body. Father don't worry, when your body is completely well, this medicine will only have a tonic effect, and you will not be drowsy. ”

The emperor nodded, and asked again: "Then how are you preparing for the operation that Jinyao said before?" ”

"Go back to your father, just go according to the original time." Su Jinyao smiled confidently and continued: "Father is looking very good now, and he can rest assured that he can undergo surgery after a period of recuperation." And with the current situation of my father, the recovery time will not be very long. ”

Seeing Su Jinyao's confident smile, the tension in the emperor's heart was a little less. He said: "Okay, when you come back, let's do this operation for my father." ”

After speaking, the emperor said: "Jin Yao has officially become the crown princess, and my father should reward you with treasures." It's just that there are a lot of treasures in the palace, and I don't know what Jinyao likes you exactly, do you have a favorite treasure? ”

When Su Jinyao heard this, she was a little amused in her heart. She always felt that the emperor offered to give her a reward at this time, and asked her what she wanted, which was very much like the red envelope that the doctor gave to the patient before the operation.

However, Su Jinyao did not hesitate, and said directly: "Father, Jinyao just wants my father to help me give me a favor." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. The emperor didn't seem to be uncertain, and he was a little curious.

Su Jinyao simply said that she also went to Qingfan together in order to follow Gu Xuebin. Then when it came to the road, Gu Xuebin's shadow guard seventeen secretly protected her, and almost lost her life.

After speaking, Su Jinyao said: "Back to my father, although Jinyao is not a reckless background, she also attaches great importance to kindness and righteousness. My master even told me that if there is kindness, there will be a reward. Although Seventeen is the Shadow Guard of the Crown Prince, he has been punished by the Shadow Guard Pavilion for protecting me. I couldn't bear it, so I wanted my father to be gracious and pardoned him as a shadow guard. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao's request, the emperor frowned, and it seemed that he couldn't understand what a shadow guard was worth mentioning.

But just now I promised Su Jinyao that she wanted something for herself, so it's hard to say anything about repentance now.

Gu Xuebin stepped forward at this time and said, "Father, the son has a proposal. ”

"Che'er, let's hear it." The emperor's interest was obviously not high, and he seemed to feel that there was nothing to say about this matter.

Gu Xuebin said: "Feng Shusheng, the third son of the Feng family, is not young, and he always heard that he was idle in the capital. It's better to take this opportunity to arrange a position for him as well, so that he and my Shadow Guard Seventeen can be left and right with each other, and go to the Gu Family Army to be a thousand generals. ”
