When Old Man Gu and Old King Nanyang walked out of the palace, it was already late at night.

At the gate of the palace, the two stopped, and the old king of Nanyang thanked the old man Gu, "Old Gu, thank you, if it weren't for you, Your Majesty wouldn't have been able to expose this matter so easily." Today, I may fight with Your Majesty with a red face and a thick neck, and to put it more seriously, maybe this old life will be put on the palace. ”

Old Man Gu shook his head, "You and my brother, don't say thank you, speaking of which, we are also sons and daughters, although His Majesty canceled their marriage contract, but the grandson of my family, you also know, put your granddaughter on the tip of his heart, in this life, I am afraid that we will not be separated, we are our own people, so don't say anything else." ”

The old Nanyang King laughed, "If you want to say Huai'an, I am very satisfied, but it's a pity that the two of them have a bad marriage." ”

One is in Nanyang, in charge of the Nanyang Palace, sitting in the Nanyang Army, it is easy to come to Beijing again, and the other is in Beijing, after His Majesty unveiled this stubble, he is still in a high position, living in the temple, and at the same time trapped in the family inheritance.

Old Man Gu sighed, isn't it not smooth? Now seven or eight thousand miles away, his grandson sends a letter to Nanyang every day, although he is in the capital, his heart has already flown to Nanyang.

"Hey, we're old, we don't have much to manage, our children and grandchildren have their own fate, so let them figure it out by themselves." Seeing that Old Man Gu sighed again and again, the old Nanyang King was very sympathetic to each other, and changed the topic, "Your Majesty has revealed it so easily today, which is really a bit unexpected." ”

Old Man Gu nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all." ”

It can stretch a lot, but it can also be a big condescension. In the end, it is still the heart of the emperor, and the person who can sit on the dragon chair cannot be underestimated.

Old Man Gu said again, "It's also a good thing that Your Majesty doesn't hold on to it, otherwise if this stalemate continues, Nanqi and Nanliang will take advantage of the situation, but it will be a big disadvantage." ”

The old Nanyang King bowed his head, "What I'm afraid of is this, the courtiers should have been soft to the emperor, but the An family has been begging for too long, I have wronged my daughter, and wronged my son and grandson, all of them are loyal to Da Chu, and now to my granddaughter and grandson, the two children are not soft, one by one is very hard, now after all, it is time for them to be the masters of the house, my old bones, can no longer continue to bend the backbone to drag them back." Besides, this matter has also dragged your Gu family into the water, and Huai'an's child has also been dragged down, so I can't be softer anymore. ”

"What's this dragging? The stinky boy is voluntary, and he is afraid that others will rob him of his work. Old Man Gu smiled helplessly, "If you are not afraid of your brother's jokes, I am really afraid that the stinky boy will throw away this mess at home, and like the kid of the Cui family, he will go to Nanyang and never come back." Although the Gu family looks stable, if it is really stable, why did I fight to save that one twenty years ago? It's okay for me to be alive now, if I close my eyes, the Gu family doesn't have a real person in charge of the family business, and if I don't say it well, it will become a plate of loose sand, and it will be scattered all of a sudden, and it is not impossible to decline in an instant, so the Gu family can't leave him. ”

The old Nanyang King understood very well, and patted the old man Gu on the shoulder, "Since your brother said this, I will also say something to you that is heart-wrenching, and marry your Gu family, I am a hundred willing, not to say that your Gu family is upright, only to say that Huai'an is a good boy who has nowhere to find a lantern in the world, and it is her blessing that the girl in my family can make him fall in love." Men guard their homes and defend the country, shoulder the responsibilities on their shoulders, and bear the foundation under them, of course, daughters and children teach their husbands and children, enjoy the pampering of their husbands, and their children go around their knees.

But I shouldn't regret it, I took that little girl to live in the army since I was a child, eat in the army, raise her in the army, teach her in the army, and teach her to her now. If her father and brother are still alive, this temperament is nothing, the An family does not lack her to be loyal to Da Chu, and there is no shortage of her to bear the responsibility of protecting the people of Da Chu, she can live her own life, but his father and brother died in battle.

If according to my will, the An family has been carrying the burden of one hundred and fifty years, when my eyes are closed, it is not impossible to unload it from me, although I am not at ease, but the destiny is limited, so why should I miss her life? So that she can't live freely?

But her child......

With faith in her heart, shouldering responsibilities, and following the An family in her bones, there are some things that have been carved into her bones since she was a child, even if I want her to let go, she can't let go. Now, let alone let it go, this capital can't come again. Although Your Majesty has easily lifted it today, it may not be that the knots in your heart have really been unraveled, once you have the opportunity, Your Majesty can bite her to death, the emperor is the emperor after all.

Because of my teaching, tired of her, and tired of your boy, now in a dilemma, I regret it, if I knew today, eight years ago, I should not have obeyed Your Majesty and betrothed them to marry, now alas......"

Old Man Gu sighed with emotion when he heard this, and patted the old Nanyang King on the shoulder with his backhand, "Your little girl is a good child, rare in the world, if you talk about husbands and children, women in the world are the same, but if you can take charge of the Nanyang Army, guard the border, and ensure the stability of tens of millions of people in Dachu, except for her, no daughter's family can do it." This is something that is admirable, and even an old man of my age has respect in my heart. That kid in my family, cold by nature, cold temperament, I thought that he would probably be like this for the rest of his life, everything is like dust, and his heart is empty, but I didn't expect that he had your little girl in his heart, and now he seems to have changed a person.

I used to look at it, and I often panicked, but now that I see it more, I feel that there is nothing wrong with it, and this is also fate. Since it is fate, it is useless to talk about it. Both of us are old, the children have grown up, they have their own ideas, we have an old bone, we can't take care of it, now when the eyes are open, we can restrain some, just restrain some, can help, can help, can't help, and try not to drag them back, wait for him, once the eyes are closed, what do you care about before and after life? As they tossed, they couldn't see it. ”

The old Nanyang King nodded, "That's exactly the reason." ”

The two brothers empathize with each other, one is a granddaughter, one is a grandson, one is Nanyang, and the other is a Gu family.

The housekeeper of the Seven Princes' Mansion has been waiting at the gate of the palace since the old Nanyang King entered the palace, and when he saw the old Nanyang King returning to the palace, he hurriedly stepped forward and looked up and down to see if the old Nanyang King had come back unharmed.

The old Nanyang King was amused, "I'm fine, not a single hair is missing, don't worry." ”

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his heart, which had been hanging for more than an hour, finally relaxed, and followed the old Nanyang King inside, "Didn't Your Majesty embarrass you?" ”

"No, Your Majesty is very talkative, and even the matter of my bastard's granddaughter has been revealed."

The housekeeper's eyes widened, is Your Majesty so easy to speak? He suspected that his ears were hallucinating.

The old Nanyang King glanced at him and sighed, "About thanks to the four princes, the fifth prince, and King Jing, the people and horses who sent people to Wufeng Mountain were all broken, plus Gu Lao got the news that His Majesty summoned me and went to the palace to accompany His Majesty for a while. ”

The housekeeper suddenly said, so it turned out to be like this, no wonder, he said that His Majesty is not a good-natured person. Such a big thing happened on the day of the palace banquet, Your Majesty hated it for a few months, and now it is suddenly easier to speak, if nothing major happens, it is impossible for Your Majesty to change his mind.

His heart was completely relieved, "Since Your Majesty has taken it lightly, the ban of the queen mother will definitely be lifted, and if you enter the palace another day, you will be able to see the queen mother, and the old slave has not seen the mother for a few months." ”

The old Nanyang King nodded, "I'll go into the palace to see her in a few days." ”

"If His Royal Highness has not returned on the day you enter the palace, the old slave will accompany you at that time." The housekeeper said immediately. He was supposed to accompany him today, but the old king of Nanyang didn't let him accompany him, and he was worried for more than an hour, so it was better to accompany him.

The old Nanyang King bowed his head, "Okay." ”

When Old Man Gu returned to Gu's house, Gu Qingyan was waiting in his room, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly handed him a cup of hot tea and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, grandpa." ”

Old Man Gu snorted, took the hot tea, scolded "stinky boy" first, took a sip of the tea, and asked him, "Your Majesty has easily revealed the matter of the palace banquet, when will you enter the palace to see Your Majesty?" ”

"Wasn't I punished by your grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall? I'll be back in a few days. ”

Old Man Gu almost slapped him, "Almost, how long have you been idle?" Want to laze for a few days? If you don't take off the hat of the official department on your head for a day, you will be an official of the court for a day, and you should be the master of the people as an official. Have you forgotten what I taught you? ”

Gu Qingyan shook his head, "I haven't forgotten, I'm not on duty, isn't the ministry not chaotic at all?" Be in apple-pie order? I'm just not in the mood for the past two days, and when her letter comes, I'll go. ”

Old Man Gu: "......"
