Gan Ran spent a whole hour in Wudehou's Mansion and Su Wanhai mushrooms, and he would talk about this and that in the middle, in addition to visiting the sick was to ask for some military questions, so entangled when Su Wanhai had to stay for dinner when he saw the sky later, he seemed to react, and said goodbye with Gu Liancheng with a smile.

He stepped into the Peilan Palace, where he lived, but saw the personal eunuch Fu who was waiting for him come up, and whispered: "Your Highness, the Third Highness has been waiting for you for a day. ”

"The third brother is here?" Gan Ran was full of worries, and he was very surprised when he heard Gan Tang coming, so he quickly followed him into the side hall, and sure enough, he saw a lamp in the corner inside, and most places were a little shadowy, but Gan Ran still recognized Gan Tang's figure, and was sitting on a chair in the middle in a daze.

Gan Ran couldn't help but say angrily: "I know why the Third Highness doesn't even light a few more lamps here?" Could it be that there is still no lack of your things! ”

"Second brother, it's none of their business, I ordered me not to light more lights, and I'm tired of watching." Hearing him say this, Gan Ran didn't say anything more, waved his hand to let Fu retreat, because Gan Tang said that he was upset when he saw the lamp, so he sat down in front of him in the dim light, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, I was reprimanded by my father again today, I was not happy, I wanted to come to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to run out." Gan Tang seems to be a little embarrassed, his appearance in the harem is difficult to imagine, who doesn't know that the Third Highness has been stubborn since childhood, and it has become a practice to be reprimanded by Changtai for so many years, and he is not a prince, although most of the things in the feudal country are decided by the vassal king himself, but the imperial court will also send people to supervise...... I'm afraid that Shen Shufei couldn't imagine that her son, who didn't seem to care about his studies and Changtai's impression at all, would be so uncomfortable because of Changtai's reprimand.

But Gan Ran was very clear, sighed and said: "The imperial grandmother has already revealed that she wants you to be a vassal, so why bother to play it again?" ”

"I want to act, just because the imperial grandmother showed this tone, I have to play it well, otherwise even if I become a vassal in the future, Weiyang Palace will not let go of my mother." Gan Tang laughed silently and laughed, "Second brother, why do you say this?" It's usually the blood of the father, and if it wasn't for the emperor's grandmother who made her the main palace after that week, what would it be, the so-called Qingliu is just a bunch of sanctimonious goods! My mother has been working hard in the palace for many years as the concubine of the Xiliang Shen family...... Scold! ”

Gan Tang gritted his teeth, but said calmly: "Third brother, you are impulsive." ”

"I can't help but be impulsive! I can't stand it anymore after so many years! Gan Tang closed his eyes and said coldly, "In terms of homework, who of the two of us will be worse than the East Palace?" If it weren't for our mother's concubine pressing hard, what face would Zhou Hou have to laugh at you and me for not being as good as Ganlin!? ”

Gan Ran thought for a moment: "What did my father say about you today?" ”

Gan Tang was immediately deflated by his question, and said after a while: "You skipped school and didn't come today, my father suddenly went to the study to check my homework, and I took a test on a strategy, I answered a few words at random, and my father said that I was too far behind his good prince's age, hum, with Gu Liancheng's kind of companionship, how bad can the homework handed in by the prince be?" ”

"You won't be angry like this, just say it." Gan Ran didn't raise his head and said, "The two of us have been guarding each other for so many years, although the concubines are guarding each other, but what can't you and I say?" "Xifu Palace and Yongxin Palace have never had much intersection, and it can even be said that Huo and Shen have not been in harmony for a while, when Su Ruhui first entered the palace, the Queen Mother reprimanded Concubine Huo for wandering alone by the lotus pond, if it weren't for Gan Tang's eyes, Concubine Shen didn't even want to ask for a favor.

But Gan Ran and Gan Tang have a very good relationship in private, listening to Gan Ran's persuasion, Gan Tang said stupidly: "Father, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to do it in the future, but don't be like King Zhao and be recalled to the imperial capital in a few years!" ”

"I haven't heard enough of this kind of thing in the past few years?" Gan Ran didn't move his eyebrows when he heard this, and said lightly.

"I've heard a lot, but it's the first time I've heard what my father said himself......" Gan Tang sighed with interest, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you are skipping school today, and your father wants you to go to Xuanming Palace tomorrow to ask for guilt, and also, where did you go?" ”

Gan Ran said lightly: "I didn't go anywhere, but I went out and walked around casually." ”

Gan Tang was not in a good mood at this time, so he didn't ask any more questions, and vented a few more words, and then said goodbye and went back to the Zehui Hall where he lived.

When he left, Gan Ran's face showed a trace of deep exhaustion. He went to Wudehou Mansion today to find an opportunity to ask Su Ruhui about the prince and his son, but let alone ask, he didn't even set foot in the backyard of the Su family. From the eyes of Su Wanhai and the others, he could find the other party's vigilance, the question was what was the benefit of killing Su Ruhui as a prince...... Well? They are wary of the prince, could it be that the Su family has a secret hand in the palace?

Thinking of this, the melancholy between Gan Ran's eyebrows deepened a lot, and Huo Guifei's words yesterday seemed to sound in her ears: "...... This is what the Queen Mother means! ”

Since he was a child, Gan Ran has been taught to be in awe of his imperial grandmother, and he still remembers that when he was ignorant, Huo Guifei held herself in her arms and taught herself over and over again what to pay attention to in front of her imperial grandmother, and how she cried to make herself sharper in her schoolwork...... For a while, after Gan Ran knew that he was not Huo Guifei's biological son, he once suspected that this was his adoptive mother deliberately trying to alienate the relationship between himself and the imperial grandmother, after all, the queen mother was so kind and kind to the imperial grandchildren except for Ganmei.

All the way up to ...... Gan Ran rubbed the corners of his forehead, and his thin lips hooked up a mocking smile: Empress Dowager Jiayi...... She is the queen mother first, and then the grandmother!

Do you have to follow this grandmother's plan for the rest of your life?

Gan Ran sat in the darkness after Gan Tang left, the lamp in the corner of the house had already burned out, and in the darkness, the young King of Chu quietly thought about his future path......

Gan Ran didn't know that this visit, which he thought was a failure, caused an uproar in Wudehou's mansion.

"The prince is orthodox, and among all the princes under his knees today, he is the prince with the best schoolwork, both civil and military, and is praised by the prince every time, and the matter of seizing the prince cannot be done, Huo Guifei is not happy with the queen mother, she can live in Xifu Palace for so many years, and she has been raising the second prince, and the fief of the second prince Chu is rich and rich, obviously not a stupid person, the king of Chu should indeed come to visit the sick today, didn't he mention several times to see his sister?" Although Su Rufeng said that he was back in Fengseju, his out-of-the-box temperament knew how to endure the guests coming in front of him? Therefore, he took a turn in Fonterium and quietly slipped to the front to eavesdrop.

This time, the Su family was discussing things behind closed doors again, and he couldn't wait to jump up and shout.

"Third brother, you don't understand, King Chu just said that he was ordered by the noble concubine Niangniang to make amends for the county lord of Huaizhen." Su Rutie said slowly, "This is tantamount to helping our family implement the charges of Lord Huaizhen!" Do you dare to say that he has nothing else on his mind? ”

"If you have other thoughts, you will be patient. Zi waited so long in Yuguangtang? Naturally, it is going to come and go quietly! Su Rufeng retorted disapprovingly.

"The first time he came to the door, if the king of Chu had other thoughts, of course he would be extra generous to his father, and just now he actually returned his father's half a courtesy, doesn't it show this?" Su Rutie said tepidly.

The two sisters-in-law fought back and forth, and the concubine Su Rujun was cautious in his words and deeds as usual, and he was not sure not to speak. Su Wanhai didn't stop their dispute this time, because he was also a little confused, and he didn't understand why King Chu came to the door inexplicably.

At this time, there was a sudden knock outside the door, Su Wanhai didn't speak, and the An family, who also frowned and guessed why the King of Chu came to visit in person, shouted: "What are you doing?!" ”

A purple voice came from outside the door: "Madam, Miss is awake, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Gu Gongzi have come to see her, and I am afraid that Madame, Hou Ye and Gongzi will want to left, so I want to tell Madame some things." ”

Su Ruhui has the best relationship with Gan Ran among the princes, which An knows a little about, but that was also before the age of ten, and then he has to guard the taboo as he gets older, plus An is in a hurry every time he enters the palace, how can Su Ruhui tell An the details.

So An didn't take this layer to heart, and now I heard that Su Ruhui might know the intention of the King of Chu, where can a group of people still sit still, and they all got up and said, "Ruhua woke up?" Let's go check it out! ”
