Xiao Lei was shocked: "It is not marked on the holy decree? Did the eunuch who brought the decree come with a word? ”

"None of them. At the beginning, I had a meritorious role in saving the driver, and the emperor rewarded me with an earl, but I did not have a title. Now that I have been named the Marquis of Yingyi, I have not explained it clearly. ”

Xiao Yao was unwilling, Emperor Hong Zheng saw Gu Fanghua's affection, so he would reluctantly raise himself to the title.

A manly man relies on his own strength, not nepotism.

Speaking of the emperor, Xiao Lei thought of one thing. said to Xiao Yao: "Fourth brother, I listened to your sister-in-law. The county lord of Mingzhu is the sweetheart of the fifth prince and the sixth prince, but is there such a thing? ”

"Big brother, this rumor is not true. The lord of Mingzhu has been in the palace since he was a child, and he grew up with the fifth, sixth and ninth princes. Naturally, he is more intimate, but he has no personal affection for his children. ”

Xiao Yao is very sure that no matter what happens to the fifth prince and the sixth prince, at least Gu Fanghua has no personal feelings for them.

Xiao Lei sighed and said: "Also, if the county lord of Mingzhu intends to marry into the royal family, how can he come to our Liaodong with you?" With Empress Dowager Zhong as the backing, she can marry whichever prince she wants. ”

"Now, although the emperor has asked me to win my love, I am still in the filial piety period, and I will not come to the door to propose marriage until at least three years later."

Xiao Lei sighed: "Three years later, the fourth brother, you are all twenty-one years old, and I have all my grandchildren." ”

"What does it matter? In the past years, my father was stationed in Liaodong for a long time, and his relationship with the capital was not close, so he was often deducted from grain, grass and military salaries. In the future, I will take care of you in the capital, and if you have anything, you can communicate with me in time. ”

Xiao Yao's words made Xiao Lei very grateful. smiled: "In this way, I will also have someone in the court in the future?" ”

The two brothers raised their hands and shook each other, smiling and grudging.

The rest of the time passed quickly, so much so that when Gu Fanghua got up on the first day of February, he was still a little unaccustomed to leaving Shenzhou City.

"Danzhu, it seems that I haven't been out for long, and I'm going back to Beijing?"

Danzhu could only purse his lips and snicker, looking at Gu Fanghua's appearance of holding his cheeks with his hands, and said with a smile: "County Lord, didn't you talk about going back to Beijing every day a few days ago?" Why, when you come to the end, you don't want to leave? ”

"Don't say it, it's a little bit. The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, I am at ease, and when I return to Beijing, there are all kinds of rules. ”

Gu Fanghua shook her head and complained, just being listened to by Zhong Taojiao.

"Mingzhu, after returning to Beijing, it will not be as convenient for you to meet Xiao Yao as it is now. It's better to take advantage of the way back and cherish the good times. ”

Gu Fanghua looked at the mirror, made a grimace, and teased: "Jiaojiao, are you talking about your letter to Yan Changxin?" ”

"We will get married as soon as we return to Beijing, and we will be an unmarried couple in the future, even if we are closer and closer, no one will gossip. But you and Xiao Yao are different, at least three years before they can get married. ”

Zhong Taojiao is not ashamed of what she said, but she is telling the truth.

Gu Fanghua cupped her cheeks again and pouted, "It doesn't matter, I just want to spend a few more years with my grandmother." Maybe in the future, when I meet someone more powerful than Xiao Yao, I will empathize and say goodbye again? ”

"Really? I guess it's difficult? Is there anything better than Xiao Yao? By the way, Mingzhu, did the six princes make it clear to you last time? Grandfather said that after he returned to Beijing, he would be appointed as the prince, so don't offend him. ”

Zhong Taojiao has always wanted to say these words to Gu Fanghua, but it has never been the time.

Gu Fanghua shook his head: "Brother Rong Ling won't be angry with me, I will return to Beijing and establish the prince in the future, but what I am worried about is Yan Shaoxun's bad work." ”

"The Fifth Prince? Mingzhu, in fact, the five princes are not bad. Besides, what qualifications does he have to be bad? His birth was original sin. ”

For Yan Shaoxun, in fact, the old families in the capital know that he has ambitions.

It's just that his background determines that it is difficult for him to get the support of an old family. Unless, there is a powerful wife to help him ascend to the throne.

Gu Fanghua is not easy to explain, what Yan Shaoxun did in the previous life. can only say: "Jiaojiao, the heart of defense is indispensable, without that prince, I don't want that chair." ”

While talking, Lu Ju had already tied Gu Fanghua's hair in a bun, and the two came to the outside room for breakfast.

"Mingzhu, the Lord of Fuling also wants to be with you, will you take a car with her?"

Gu Fanghua took a bite of the crab roe dumplings, shook her head and said, "No, what are you doing sitting with her?" ”

"That's your future mother-in-law, don't you please you?"

To be honest, now Gu Fanghua really doesn't have a good impression of Lord Fuling. Not to mention that she stood by and watched, watching the Yue family grinding Aunt Xie and the assassination of Yan Shaoxun, all of which showed that she was not a good stubble.

"Jiaojiao, people respect me a foot, and I pay her back. Otherwise, everything speaks with reason. ”

Zhong Taojiao looked at Gu Fanghua's domineering appearance, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I was too worried." I said, how could Mingzhu swallow his anger. ”

"No, she's old, I'll be filial, as long as she doesn't be a demon."

Gu Fanghua is not worried now, because she still doesn't know the complexity of the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. and the Lord of Fuling County, as Xiao Yao's only elder, how many waves can he stir up.

The officials who came from Liaodong to see off were not much different from when they first came.

But those who have passed away will never come back. Gu Fanghua was dressed in gorgeous clothes, slowly boarded the carriage, looking back on the months she had spent in Shenzhou City, she felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

Like Gu Fanghua, there is also the Lord of Fuling.

She has been in Liaodong for so many years, and she can finally set foot on the road back to Beijing. Her mother's family has long since declined, and there seem to be no more brothers and sisters, only a sister-in-law remains.

Today's royal mansion, after being demoted according to the law, is just an ordinary clan, and there is not a single outstanding person. If you want to give Xiao Yao, there is no one to find a foil.

Xiao Lei led his wife and son to bow to the lord of Fuling, and then said goodbye to the old Qinguo Gong, as well as the fifth and sixth princes. After everything was explained, the large army set off.

Not far from the city gate, Father-in-law Qian received a secret letter from the Empress Dowager Zhong in the capital.

After reading it, he hesitated for a while, and finally took advantage of the lunch break to quietly report to Gu Fanghua: "Back to the county lord, the queen mother has sent a letter." said that the saintess of Miao Jiang came all the way to the capital to find and find Marquis Xiao. ”

"Marquis Xiao? Xiao Yao? ”

Gu Fanghua was a little puzzled, but more of a nameless fire was burning in her heart.

Gonggong Qian observed his words, saw that Gu Fanghua's face was not good, and said softly: "The county lord doesn't have to care, the queen mother said that the holy daughter of Miaojiang will always stay in the capital." The county lord might as well ask Marquis Xiao. ”

Gu Fanghua was annoyed in her heart, what is the relationship between the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang and Xiao Yao?

With a displeased face, he said: "What saint is looking for him, what does it matter to me?" Father-in-law Qian, you don't have to tell me about these messy things in the future! ”

"Yes, County Lord."
