Gu Dian also knew that Xiao Yao's conditions were good, but after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, the minister also heard that Xiao Yao is very good, but I still want to see it with my own eyes. So the minister prepares, go out of Beijing tomorrow to Yumen Pass, take a look at Xiao Yao, and test it in person to see if he is qualified to marry Mingzhu. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was a little surprised, but he didn't stop him, and said with a smile: "Your thoughts are all on Mingzhu now, do you really not plan to re-enter the court as an official?" ”

"The emperor is virtuous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is capable, and the courtiers are all competent. Wechen is not in the court, they are all the same, and besides, Wechen's current appearance is no longer suitable for being an official. ”

The scars on Gu Dian's face were too numerous and too deep to be removed. According to the law of the Great Zhou, those with disabilities and impaired faces are not allowed to be officials.

Emperor Hong Zheng sighed and said softly: "It's a pity that you are talented. ”

"Your Majesty, although Wechen is not an official now, the emperor can hand over anything to Wechen, and Wechen will do his best to serve the emperor."

Gu Dian expressed his attitude, which made Emperor Hong Zheng also very happy.

As for the public, they are kings and ministers. In terms of selfishness, they are also relatives, and Gu Dian is the brother-in-law of Emperor Hong Zheng.

"That's good, it's okay for you to go to Yumen Pass. Help me take a look, if Xiao Yao comes back, will there be any problems? If something doesn't happen, you will stay at Yumen Pass and guard it for me. ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

Having said that, Gu Dian had already made up his mind, he went to Yumen Pass to see Xiao Yao, and planned to escort Xiao Yao back together.

The daughter only marries once in her life, which cannot be missed.

When Gu Dian left, he didn't make a big splash, and when Yan Rongling got the news, Gu Dian had been on the road for several days.

He summoned Wang Lang and said with some uneasiness: "Gu Yuma went out of Beijing, where do you think he will go?" He has always loved Mingzhu, and why, put Mingzhu alone in the capital? ”

Wang Lang also went to check, and his expression was a little bad and said: "According to the route taken by Gu Yuma, it should be to Yumen Pass." ”

"Why did he go to Yumen Pass? Could it be that he guessed our plan and was not at ease, so he went to escort Xiao Yao back to Beijing. ”

Yan Rongling's face was also very bad, if this was the case, wouldn't it be that Gu Dian was suspicious of himself.

Wang Lang didn't feel like it, and said in a low voice: "Prince, I don't think so." I've heard that the concubine loves Mingzhu very much, so could it be Gu Concubine, who is not worried about Xiao Yao, so he wants to go and see his son-in-law in advance? ”

Yan Rongling often listens to the reports of his subordinates for Gu Dian's beloved daughter.

Could it be that Gu Dian was suspicious, but that he wanted to take a look at Xiao Yao, would that ruin his good deeds?

"You let people pass the message, if you find out that Gu Yuma is with Xiao Yao at that time, remember, don't hurt Gu Yuma's life."

Wang Lang also knew that it was okay to kill Xiao Yao. But if Gu Juma is injured by mistake, this is Mingzhu's biological father, in case Mingzhu knows in the future, he will be the enemy who kills his father.

"Don't worry, the prince, I will immediately send someone to Dazhou to deliver the message, and I will definitely not hurt Gu Yuma."

However, Yan Rongling was not only worried about accidentally injuring Gu Dian. What he was most worried about was that because of Gu Dian's intervention, the assassination of Xiao Yao failed.

Then he should take action on another plan and take precautions to prevent problems before they happen.

This time, the person sent out by Yan Rongling was his confidant, and no one knew about it. What he wants to do is also kept secret at home, and even Xiao Chengzi, who is serving closely, doesn't know.

Gu Fanghua returned to Qingzhi Hall and rested for several days before he recovered and left the palace in good spirits.

Drunken Moon Tower is going to go, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, and the food in Drunken Moon Tower is what Gu Fanghua is most worried about. After eating delicious food, I also want to visit Yan Qihuo.

In the end, I went to Ye Mansion to see Danzhu, and by the way, I waited for Ye Thirteen to go home.

Gu Fanghua had already let people spread the news, saying that when they came back today, Yan Qihuo asked people to wait at the door early. As soon as Gu Fanghua arrived, he opened the front door to greet him.

"Brother Jiu, I see that you are a lot stronger, are you practicing boxing every day at home, or are you practicing riding and archery?"

Yan Qi laughed and said, "Mingzhu, your eyes are so good, this really can't hide from you." I asked people to open a racecourse behind the county king's mansion, and I usually went to practice riding and archery when I had nothing to do. As for martial arts, they have not fallen behind, and it is also good to keep fit. ”

"Brother Jiu, it's good that you can think like this, I used to only watch you practice calligraphy and meditate. Now you practice riding and archery, not only to strengthen your body, but also to exercise your mind. ”

Gu Fanghua is really happy for Yan Qihuo, even if he is an idle county king in the future, he must be in good health.

"Mingzhu, I used to be idle, but now I really feel that time is wasted. Later, when I saw Xiao Yao go into battle to kill the enemy, I was really envious. ”

"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom, you still have a long life. Maybe in the future, the border will be unguarded, and you will need to serve the country. This father and son soldier in battle, fighting tiger brothers, with you helping Brother Rong Ling, is closer than others. ”

Gu Fanghua looked at Yan Qihuo, now that she is much more motivated, she also decided that if she has the opportunity, she must talk to Brother Rong Ling more, so that Yan Qihuo can apply what she has learned.

"Mingzhu, aren't you afraid that I have a different heart?"

Gu Fanghua glanced at Yan Qihuo with a smile, and said with a smile: "What kind of disagreement can you have, now you have both children and daughters, and you have a wife and a concubine." Besides, guarding the border and fighting, these are all drudgery, who has nothing to do with this? ”

Yan Qihuo smiled dumbly, and finally said: "Mingzhu, after so many years, you are still the purest. ”

Gu Fanghua smiled and said, "Really? Then don't you invite the princess and the little prince to come out? I came to see them, not you. ”

Yan Qihuo asked people to ask Duan Wanqing to bring the children over.

Gu Fanghua also knew that now Yan Qihuo has a son and a daughter, the son was born to Duan Wanqing, but the daughter was born to Jiang Yaxuan.

She was not familiar with Duan Wanqing, but she didn't want to see Jiang Yaxuan. The main reason for coming over today is to support Yan Qihuo, so that people know that even if Yan Qihuo is down, no one can step on it.

Fortunately, Yan Qihuo also understood her, and only asked Duan Wanqing, the princess of the county, to bring the children over.

The two children are about half a year old, and they are exactly what Yuxue looks like. Wearing a red brocade dress, it sets off a white and chubby face, which is even more lovely.

Gu Fanghua watched the two nurses holding the dolls, and her eyes were greedy. I hugged one of them, and I looked like a girl, and I was overjoyed to see the fat doll grinning at herself.

"Brother Jiu, I guess, this must be your daughter? What is your name? ”

Yan Qi said with a smile: "Mingzhu, you guessed wrong this time. This is my son Yan Yunwen, and that is my daughter Yan Yuanyuan. ”

"Huh? Your son is so good-looking. But the ninth sister-in-law is a beauty, and you are also a beautiful man, no wonder the child born is so good-looking. ”
