Four Princes' Mansions.

The old housekeeper bent his waist and held a booklet, and walked respectfully towards the study of the fourth prince, Gu Changlin also came to the study from the other side, and the two met in front of the moon cave door. After greeting each other, they entered the study of the four princes one after another.

When the two of them came in to ask for peace, the fourth prince was sitting in front of the desk and reading intently, and he said casually: "Steward Du, you are an old man in the house, and you are also old, so this gift of asking for peace will be waived in the future." ”

Steward Du smiled kindly and bowed deeply: "How can this be done?" The old slave has a hard body, and he can still play Luo for his master. ”

"This is natural, you are the most trusted person of the concubine, and the big and small things in the house naturally depend on you."

Steward Du presented the booklet in his hand and said, "Please take a look at the prince, this is a gift list sent to the Shen Mansion." Except for some maintenance items, most of them are qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, hairpin ring jewelry, and fashionable clothing. It's not too precious, but everything is carefully selected and can best express your heart. ”

The fourth prince had no time to take care of it, so he stopped and said: "You have always known what I mean, you don't have to read it, just send it over according to this gift list." If nothing else, go down and rest. ”

"Yes." Steward Du bowed again before withdrawing.

There are mountains of files on the bookcase, and the four princes are flipping through them one by one. Gu Changlin glanced at it roughly, it was the file of the Ministry of Rites receiving the mission over the years.

Although Gu Changlin knew that his master had been quite favored by the emperor recently, he did not expect to be able to handle such a major event as receiving the mission. The news that the Pakistani mission was coming had already spread in the past few days, and the Seventh Prince had just lifted the grounding, so he thought there was still a fight.

"Lord Wang, this is to receive the mission?"

The fourth prince still looked at it intently, and after reading a book, he put it on his right hand, picked up another one from the left side, and there were four or five books stacked on the right side.

"Yes, this morning, the father of the dynasty handed over the contact matter of the Pakistani envoy to the court, and the assistant of the Ministry of Rites."

Gu Changlin took a closer look at the blue patch on the fourth prince's hand, and asked with concern, "Lord, your hand is injured?" What happened? ”

The fourth prince seemed to have forgotten about this matter a long time ago, and Gu Changlin only remembered it when he mentioned it. He raised his hand and glanced at it indifferently: "Oh, you said this, Luo'er smashed it, it's not in the way." ”

"Nine princesses? Why did she ......?"

"Recently, it has been rumored that Pakistan intends to marry our country, and the unmarried and age-appropriate princess in the palace is only Luo'er, and everyone has passed on the rumor that the emperor wants to marry Luo'er to Pakistan and his relatives. She also knew that the king was in charge of receiving the mission, so she came to me to make trouble, and you know her temper, and she began to throw things without saying a few words. With this temperament, I am afraid that marrying the past will not only not reconcile the two countries, but will be counterproductive. At the mention of this reckless sister, the fourth prince smiled helplessly and lovingly.

Gu Changlin was also relieved after hearing this: "The emperor will really marry the ninth princess to Pakistan?" ”

"The gentleman is unpredictable. Besides, Pakistan came to the court three months later, and it has not yet been decided which prince will come with the mission, and the marriage has to be combined with the eight characters of Taichang Temple, which is so easy to decide? That is, Luo'er listens to the wind and rain. ”

The fourth prince is rarely in a good mood, and he talks more than usual. Feeling the good mood of his master, Gu Changlin felt that he was also a lot happier.

"What the prince said is extremely true." Gu Changlin took out a secret letter from his bosom and presented it: "My subordinates came back from going out of the city on business today, and I just received a secret letter from that person, please take a look at it." ”
