Chapter 69: The World of Trials
"Wait, Brother Prince."
Gu Hui chased after him with his little short legs, running out of breath.
The prince looked back, a little surprised.
"Didn't my father keep you for something, why did you come out so quickly?"
Gu Hui scratched his head obediently and smiled without saying a word.
Gu Zhi has something to do, but he just sighed with her how difficult it is to be a father, compared to the old father, Gu Hui still feels that the young and tender prince brother needs her comfort more.
stepped forward and took the initiative to take the prince's hand, and the two walked down the steps step by step.
Gu Hui jumped up and down, as if nothing could make her unhappy, the prince looked at his sister who was holding his hand, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
For this little sister, he used to be envious, even jealous.
I envy that she can play as much as she wants, and treat her as a gentle mother.
Jealousy of her can easily gain the praise of her father, and no matter what she does, she can be easily tolerated.
He used to have malicious intentions towards Gu Hui, but seeing her smile so innocent and lively, he couldn't control it and wanted to be nice to her.
I want her to live a happy, carefree life like this all the time, with his share......
From childhood to adulthood, his father and mother, and even his companions, the eunuchs around him were urging him, reminding him of his responsibilities as a prince all the time.
But today, for the first time, someone was able to say a word when he was being blamed...... The prince's brother is still young!
The prince lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was bouncing around, his voice a little dry.
"Thank you, sister."
Gu Hui stopped, tilted her head to look at the prince, her eyes were clear, she suddenly smiled happily, her voice was full of joy.
"The first time the prince's brother called me sister."
When the prince saw her so happy, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.
In the past, it was just Gu Hui who followed behind him, and the prince's brother called him kindly, but the prince always just smiled softly, calling her Ling'er, or Changning...... This is the first time, calling her sister.
Gu Hui looked at the prince with a smile in his eyes, as if he suddenly thought of something, took out a purse embroidered with a panda style from his waist, and handed it to the prince as if he was invited.
"Brother Prince, open it and take a look."
The prince was a little puzzled, he took the purse, his eyes were fixed, and he took it out with some excitement, looking at the green jade seal in his hand.
The fracture is so well polished that if you don't look closely, you won't find a fine crack on it.
The prince looked at Gu Hui silently for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse.
“…… The last time I took this thing, were you busy with this these days? ”
Gu Hui didn't come to him for a long time during that time, and the prince was still a little strange, he used to go to the East Palace every three or five days, and she was so good at hiding it......
Just thinking like this, the prince felt happy in his heart, tears welled up in his eyes, and he squatted on the ground regardless of his image, looking at the cute little bun that was smiling.
Although he was missing two small front teeth, the prince at this time felt that there was no more lovely person than Gu Hui.
hugged Gu Hui and buried his head on her shoulder.
That young man with a little soft temperament, not good at words, and seems to have always been just a gentle and smiling boy, this time it was not just a person in the palace in the dead of night, for the first time in front of others, showing a weak look.
The prince raised his head, there was a pool of tears in his eyes, he held it back hard, smiled gently, and it was the young man of Zhilan Yushu again.
His eyes were incredibly soft and touched Gu Hui's head.
"Brother Prince, thank you Ling'er for your kindness...... Ling'er will always be my sister. ”
Facing the young man's warm embrace, Gu Hui seemed to have encountered something worth happier, and laughed stupidly, and gently patted the prince's back with his fleshy little hand.
"No... You're welcome! It should be da~"
On the same day, the prince held hands and personally sent Gu Hui to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, which was very quiet along the way, and his heart was also quiet.
Although he was scolded by his father just now, looking at the little girl who was holding hands and jumping around along the way, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little, and his heart relaxed.
When he arrived at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, he squatted down with thoughtfulness in his eyes.
"Sister, did you say that the prince's brother is too weak?"
Gu Hui looked at the prince with wide eyes, a little surprised, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and told him categorically.
"Brother Prince is not weak, Brother Prince is smart, he can ride horses and shoot arrows, he knows a lot of truths, he has read a lot of books, you are the best prince, and he will definitely become a generation of benevolent monarchs in the future."
The prince muttered thoughtfully.
"Renjun...... But the father, he is a hero. ”
He Gu Yan also wants to be a hero.
"I see, thank you sister."
Gu Hui scratched his head, as if he didn't understand.
"Brother Prince wants to come to Chuxiu Palace to sit for a while, my mother recently made pear blossom mint paste and your favorite osmanthus cake, yesterday I also touched the fetal movement of two little babies, does Brother Prince want to go and see?"
The prince listened to Gu Hui's words, a trace of yearning flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head.
"No, next time I will visit Concubine Ming."
I just received the scolding of my father, so at this time, I should be more peaceful and go back to the East Palace to reflect.
Standing at the gate of the palace, looking at the back of the prince leaving, Gu Hui lowered his head and was silent.
Perhaps this is the price he needs to pay for having so much since he was a child, and the responsibility he needs to bear as a prince.
Three days later, Gu Hui stood high, looking in the direction of the noon gate.
"Warm spring, what time is it now?"
Nuan Chun looked at the sky and hesitated.
"It's about noon now, prince...... It should have arrived. ”
Gu Hui looked into the distance, his eyes were obscure, the prince personally killed Guo Zhenyu, just like she killed Su Xiu'er with her own hands......
Father's lesson is too unforgettable.
In front of the noon gate, the scorching sun was scorching, and people's hearts were also anxious, and the prince sat in the position of the supervisor with an indifferent expression, looking at Guo Zhenyu who was kneeling in the middle.
He has been thrown away by the people rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.
Guo Zhenyu's tears and nose were glued together, and he kowtowed again and again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... His Royal Highness the Prince, I really know it's wrong, I just drank a little too much that day, who knew that old man was so careless? I'm willing to lose money, I'll pay him 500 taels, ah no... 1000 taels, he's just a pariah, I grew up with you, Your Highness! You help me plead for me, Your Highness, I don't want to die woo......"
The rotten eggs of the people who were guarding the side threw more diligently, and the prince saw that he was so stubborn, and when he listened to the scolding of the audience, his expression became more determined, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed.
Bang Bang –
The token was thrown to the ground.
"It's noon, ask for a cut."
[Author's digression]: The prince who values love and righteousness, the young man of Zhilan Yushu, also wants to be a hero like his father.
