Emperor Hong Zheng smiled silently and did not explain.

He only said: "You go back and prepare well, and set off early on the twenty-sixth morning." Remember, take good care of your Pearl cousin. ”

Yan Shaoxun didn't say much anymore and bowed and retired.

When Xiao Yao returned home, he always felt a little abnormal when he recalled the words of Empress Dowager Zhong.

But when you think about it, there's nothing strange about it.

However, with the five princes, Gu Shinian and Zhong Zibin, the safety is more guaranteed. But I still have to send a letter to my father and grandmother in advance.

As for Xiao An, he robbed the three letters he released, hoping that he would not repeat the old things.

The Gu family also quickly got the news, Gu Jiang, Gu Shinian's father and son were very happy, and Gu Jiang also specially called Gu Shinian to the study to teach the main points.

"Shinian, the Queen Mother asked you to go, one is to accompany Mingzhu, so as not to gossip. The second is to take a good look at the Xiao family, don't let down the Queen Mother's trust in you. ”

Gu Shinian was also a little excited, and said with a smile: "Father, I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would go with us." ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother meant to let you go to the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion and have a good look. Although the guest of honor who is the pearl does not require that he must be the prince of the Hou Mansion, the title that should be Xiao Yao cannot be let in vain. There are also the Lord of Fuling and the Lady Hou, all of whom must pay attention to and understand clearly. ”

Gu Shinian agreed: "This is nature! And I have to go to see if Xiao Yao's elders have set a family affair for him, or a good candidate for him. ”

Gu Jiang nodded and said: "Yes, this is the most important thing, Xiao Yao has a mother and a grandmother, if they have other candidates in their hearts, then our pearl is not rare." ”

Gu Shinian asked some methods and matters in a low voice, and then he was about to retire, thinking of his eldest brother, and asked.

"Father, I'm going to go on a long trip in two days, but the eldest brother hasn't come back yet, and I see that Brother Xuan is almost full moon."

Gu Jiang listened to Gu Shinian, talked about his eldest son Gu Shiqing, sighed and said: "Shinian, it's okay if you are not here at this juncture, I have already sent a letter to your grandfather to ask him to delay his return to Beijing." ”

"Father, is the matter of the eldest brother Tongzhou tricky?"

Gu Jiang's face was a little heavy, and he said, "It's very tricky, I'm afraid the court will have a good turmoil this time." ”

"Tongzhou, isn't it because of Queen Jiang's ambition? The big deal is the change of the harem, how can it involve the previous dynasty? Besides, why wouldn't the emperor be angry with the Nine Emperors? ”

Even if Gu Shinian is extremely smart, he can't figure out the connection, after all, his experience is here, he is too young, and he still lacks the heat.

Gu Jiang sighed and said in a low voice: "The emperor is a Ming monarch, but he is also an ordinary father, this involves the Nine Emperor Princes, and it must be something that the emperor does not want to see." I guess the emperor will cut off Empress Jiang's right arm in order to ensure the dignity of the Nine Emperors, but he will not move Empress Jiang. ”

Empress Jiang's right-hand man, that is, the Marquis of Wuping's Mansion and Chenliu's Palace, will the emperor attack them?

Gu Shinian was thinking in his heart, and then suddenly looked at his father in shock.

Gu Jiang's expression remained unchanged, and he acquiesced: "The emperor is majestic and strategic, not a person who follows the rules. This will be the last warning to Queen Jiang, and it will also be a temptation. ”

Gu Shinian quickly understood his father's concerns, and knew why his father wanted his grandfather to delay his return to Beijing, and why he let himself go to Liaodong.

"Father, then you and your mother, as well as your eldest brother and sister-in-law, should be careful."

Gu Jiang smiled when he heard this: "You are stupid, no one will come to touch me as a civil official, but the Zhong family, I am afraid that this time it will be involved." ”

"It's all right, father. There is Lao Guogong in the town, and there are Qin Guogong and his wife, and no one can bargain for it. ”

For the fierceness of the Zhong family, Gu Shinian was deeply touched and full of confidence.

The father and son chatted a few more words, and then Gu Shinian packed his luggage and arranged ten more skilled guards.

When the news reached the Zhong family, Zhong Zibin and Zhong Taojiao were overjoyed.

After Zhong Zibin was excited, he was a little puzzled: "Go to Liaodong?" This is half a year, how can the emperor let our brothers and sisters go? ”

Qin Guogong explained with a smile: "Mingzhu is also going, you brothers and sisters are all going to protect the five princes and Mingzhu." and Gu Shinian, he is also going. ”

Jiaojiao clapped her hands and smiled: "Good, good, good!" It's fun to have more people. It's a pity that the Six Princes and the Nine Princes can't go, otherwise we can fight side by side together! ”

"The fifth prince is not all the way with us, and I don't know if he will have a moth on the way."

Qin Guogong glared at him and scolded: "The emperor's will, you just have to obey it, where is there so much to say." How simple it is to protect the five princes, watch him on weekdays and not get into trouble, if he is a demon, you can keep him from dying. ”

Zhong Zibin salivated and smiled, and said, "Okay, father, I will listen to you." ”

Seeing her son's virtue, Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but twist his ears and scolded with a smile: "You just have to remember to protect Mingzhu, Gu Jiaerlang and your sister." The five princes are protected by the guards, so you don't need to worry about it. ”

Zhong Taojiao thought so, and leaned over to hold her mother: "Mother, I want to bring all the riding clothes, as well as the fur fur, and I will also ride a horse when the time comes, so I don't want to shrink in the carriage." ”

Mrs. Zhong pushed her away in disgust and said with a smile: "It's okay for you to come out and run once in a while, but of course you can't ride a horse every day." The Northland freezes in October, and if you haven't ridden on ice or snow, be careful of falling to your death. ”

Qin Guogong also instructed: "Zibin, you go to the Gyeonggi camp and tell your grandfather about this." Back then, in Shanhaiguan, there were a few old people in our family, and your grandfather would explain to you. ”

"Yes, father."

Everyone is actively preparing, but Gu Fanghua is bored, and he is thinking about how to help Xiao Yao avoid death.

Empress Dowager Zhong was busy preparing winter clothes for Gu Fanghua, how could she prepare suitable clothes in Liaodong when the time came? The Xiao family can't be taken lightly, so all kinds of clothes, fox fur coats, and cranes are prepared, and two large carriages are prepared.

Gu Fanghua glanced at it secretly and said in a speechless manner: "Grandmother, do you mean to let me settle in Liaodong?" With so many clothes, can you use them? ”

"You little girl, you're busy with the mourning family, and you still don't like it?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhong was angry, Gu Fanghua hurriedly hugged her, rubbed Empress Dowager Zhong and said, "Grandmother, I don't dare." But I heard that Liaodong is rich in skins, what am I going to do with so much? ”

"You're stupid! Can the leather be put on directly? If it's easy for you to come back, you can bring a few with you, but you have to bring all your clothes. You must know that you are the lord of Mingzhu, and at any time, don't lose the face of the mourning family. ”

Gu Fanghua nodded busily like pounding garlic, forget it, bring it, as long as you can go out to play!

Empress Dowager Zhong was satisfied, and joked again: "Xiao Yao didn't know that you were going, when the time comes, you will scare him, and you have to be obedient when you go out, you know?" ”
