Now Li Sheng has faded a little bit of youth and become more and more majestic, he is no longer the eldest grandson of the emperor who has an uncertain future and is worried all day long, he already has the majesty and self-confidence of the king of a country.

"Dingguo Hou, hurry up and excuse yourself!" Li Sheng said in a loud voice, and also called his title, which shows the favor of others, he laughed and encouraged a few words, and as soon as his voice changed, he said: "Is that Qi Gongzi who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats still there?" ”

Su Zhan and Xu Tianxing glanced at each other, and Su Zhan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you see that the Marquis of Dingguo has just returned to Beijing, and he is tired of carriages and horses, what do you have to say, why don't you go back to the palace?" ”

Li Sheng still gave Su Zhan a lot of face, and nodded, "Yes, yes, the general must be tired, I have prepared a celebration banquet in the palace!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Tianxing meticulously knelt down to thank him.

A brave and warlike general who knows the times, he is the emperor's favorite.

The group entered the city, Xu Tian walked in front to open the way for Li Sheng, and when he heard that General Xu was still in court, the people spontaneously came to the street to greet him.

They were the victorious side, so they had not yet experienced the cruelty of the war before they had seen the triumphant return, and they were as proud as the man who walked in the front.

Standing on horseback, the tall back is handsome, and the awe-inspiring momentum is like a dream person in the boudoir that countless girls once longed for.

Coincidentally, such a heroic son has not yet married, and a bold girl shouted "Xu Lang!" ”

"General Xu!"

A lot of sachet handkerchiefs were thrown at Xu Tianxing, there were too many of them, and he couldn't dodge at all, and Xu Tianxing's face showed a little embarrassment.

When Li Sheng saw it, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Dingguo Hou also has a hidden weapon that can't be hidden!" ”

When Li Sheng walked in front of him, the people knelt down and shouted long live, and Li Sheng waved at the people with a smile.

Gu Qinghao's sister and brother followed behind, they were still small shrimps, not important figures.

Gu Qinghao and Gu Jingxuan followed their parents to travel all over the country, but they never came to the capital again, Gu Qing was okay, she already remembered some things when she left the capital, but Gu Jingxuan was taken away before he was one year old, this was the first time he returned to the capital in twelve years, and he was full of curiosity.

Thousands of people crowded the streets on both sides of the road, shouting hooray at the same time, and the shock was difficult to comprehend without being there.

It was the cry of unity, the love and admiration from the heart, who worshipped the man who walked in front of them, and believed in their emperor.

Gu Qinghao's gaze followed Xu Tianxing closely.

If Su Yun came here, he would understand that history is always strikingly similar, and when Gu Junyan entered the city, it was also a grand occasion, that young hero, riding a horse and slowly entering, brought back the glory of the dynasty.

There is also a person, walking beside Gu Qinghao, Li Zheng's eyes flashed over the people on both sides, and a touch of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, is this what it feels like to be an emperor? He clenched his fists tightly, then he must be on the verge of victory!

Back in the palace, the imperial dining room had already prepared a celebration banquet, which was celebrated by the given princes, and no one dared to slack off.

The celebration banquet was placed in the main hall, after 12 years of development and purging, almost all the unstable elements in the court were swept away by Li Sheng, the court was peaceful, and the banquet was also a joy among the monarchs and ministers, and the harmony was extreme.

Li Sheng happily drank a few more glasses, and then suddenly thought of Qi Gongzi, who had always been very interested in him.

"Where is Qi Gongzi?" Li Sheng sat on the right seat and called out loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent for a while, and then they all waited for the appearance of this Qi Gongzi, they were also curious, Li Sheng was obviously very interested in this Qi Gongzi, and he had made a great contribution, reuse was just around the corner, and they also wanted to see this famous Qi Gongzi.

Li Zheng, who sat in the hall like everyone else and didn't have any sense of presence all day, felt very uncomfortable, he went to the battlefield, his father didn't even ask him, he was so interested in Gu Qinghao, he asked twice today.

Li Zheng raised his head and saw Gu Qing standing up unhurriedly, walking to the center of the main hall, and saluting without humility or arrogance, "The grass people are all good, see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Her voice is warm and pleasant, her appearance is delicate, kneeling there, but her spine is straight, revealing the arrogance of a scholar, just the first side, it leaves people with excellent senses, such a character, even if he is from a cold background, no one dares to underestimate it.

Li Sheng's eyes showed two points of surprise, but more satisfaction, he didn't expect that Gu Qing was from a good grassroots background, and he could be so stable and calm, and he didn't have any cowardice when he faced the saint, and knelt there generously, without a trace of humility on his body.

Li Sheng's tone involuntarily softened two points: "Qi Gongzi is exempt." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Qing bowed, then stood up and raised his head.

Li Sheng was stunned when he saw Gu Qing's good face.

Gu Qing looks like her mother, this resemblance comes from the calm and relaxed temperament on their bodies, and their facial features are inevitably similar, so even if Gu Qinghao is dressed as a man now, it is still difficult to hide the feeling of déjà vu between her and Su Yunlai.

Back then, Li Shengneng was a palace maid, just because her eyes looked a little similar to Su Yunlai, so she spoiled people as a favorite concubine in the harem, not to mention that Gu Qinghao and Su Yunlai were not only similar in appearance, but also in godlike.

Li Sheng couldn't help but be in a trance for a while, he looked at Gu Qing's smiling eyes, and his memory suddenly returned to the Fahua Temple many years ago, when the cardamom girl stood in front of the window, and looked at him with a smile......

"Ah Wan......" Li Sheng muttered.

However, Li Sheng only lost his mind slightly, and quickly reacted, looking at Gu Qinghao's gaze and softening by two points: "Yes, Qi Gongzi is a talent, dignified in appearance, and his future is limitless." ”

Look, what does it mean to eat with your face? Gu Qing is like this, Li Sheng praised her two words, both of which describe her appearance.

At this moment, everyone in the hall looked at Gu Qinghao's eyes badly, the king of a country said that a person's future is limitless, what does this mean?

There was only one sentence in the minds of the ministers, and there was no joke.

It seems that Li Sheng really likes this son, is the situation of Su Zhan's sole favor going to be broken from now on? Everyone looked at Su Zhan casually, Su Zhan should have a sense of crisis, right?

Su Zhan's face was really a little bad, and the ministers were inexplicably a little balanced in their hearts, in the past twelve years, Li Sheng has been the only favorite of Su Zhan, and he said that he would be the emperor and the rain and dew would be wet? Everyone is also a minister, look at how Su Zhan became an official, and then look at them? There is simply no contrast, no harm.

The ministers have been depressed and jealous for twelve years, and finally waited for His Majesty to empathize with him, although there is another goblin who bewitches His Majesty, but it is also stronger than Su Zhan! It's a joy to run, and I can't wait to tell each other.

Su Zhan's current mood is indeed very mysterious, it seems that His Majesty still hasn't forgotten Ah Wan, originally he thought, more than ten years have passed, and Gu Qinghao is still dressed as a man now, Li Sheng shouldn't be able to see it, but he didn't expect that just a glance made Li Sheng fall into his heart.

This appearance, instead of forgetting feelings, is more deeply rooted.

Su Zhan was really worried about him in his heart!

Gu Qing smiled innocently, and looked a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty has won the award, in fact, in fact, the grass people are still very young, and they can't afford Your Majesty's wrong love." ”

If this is changed to someone who is not welcome, it is ignorant of good and bad, Your Majesty will not give you a face, but in Li Sheng's eyes, it is modesty! That's humility! That is, this child is too real, how to look at it.

"Look, this is still a real person, I know you're a smart person, do you know what I mean?" Li Sheng said with a smile.

Gu Qing thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "Back to Your Majesty, if the grass people are really smart, it is time for you to ask for officials and silver!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Sheng couldn't help laughing, obviously overjoyed, looking at Gu Qinghao's eyes became more and more kind, "You don't want it now, don't regret it in the future?" ”

She regrets it, she regrets being a fool!

Gu Qinghao was just about to speak, Li Sheng said again: "You are still young, it is the time when you have a lot to do, it's not good to be so lazy, you should always think about something serious, and it is serious to serve the country." ”

Gu Qing said kindly, she thought, but unfortunately the gender is not allowed.

"Your Majesty taught you a lesson." Gu Qing bowed her hand, paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's really Your Majesty's wine and food here that are so delicious, the grass people forgot about their business for a while!" ”

Li Sheng smiled and shook his head, since the moment he saw her, his mood had never been bad, "That's it, today is a celebration banquet, go back to eat at the bar." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Qing bowed and retreated.

Gu Qing said secretly in her heart, taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, she has to ask for guilt as soon as possible in order to get out, otherwise if she goes on like this, she will be pulled to be an official!

When the banquet was over, Li Sheng drank too much and was helped back to the palace to rest, and the ministers had their own thoughts, and they dispersed.

Li Zheng returned to Qiwu Palace, he was very worried about the queen, this time Xu Tianxing won the battle, and Li Sheng was so happy on the day of the celebration of the whole world, but the queen did not appear, it can be seen that the queen's life is becoming more and more sad now.

Compared with Li Sheng's high spirits, Yun Huanting looked much haggard, and there was no longer the pride of the year between her eyebrows, instead of a little sorrow.

Yun Huanting was very happy to see Li Zheng, since she knew that Su Yunlai was in Li Sheng's heart, she put all her thoughts on her son.

"I knew that my son would be able to get out of the sky!" Yun Huanting was very happy to see Li Zheng, paused, and said again: "In this way, your father and emperor have more excuses, and they will make you the prince!" ”

"Your Highness, since you left, Niangniang has not slept peacefully for a day, and she is thinking about you day and night." Yun Huanting's big palace maid Jingfen said.

That's right, when Li Zheng went to the battlefield, it was Yun Huanting who proposed it, even if she was reluctant, if Li Zheng wanted to sit in that position, she had to go to the battlefield to walk around.

Now that Li Zheng has come back unharmed, and he is the only one among the many princes who has military merits, Yun Huanting doesn't believe it, what else can stop him from becoming the prince now!

Li Zheng looked at her stubborn eyes and sighed slightly, Yun Huanting has become more and more paranoid in recent years, and her relationship with Li Sheng has become more and more cold, she seems to be dead to Li Sheng, and she is planning the future for Li Zheng wholeheartedly.

"It's just, what's going on with that Qi Hao? I heard that your father seems to be very important to him? Yun Wanting asked in a deep voice, and as she spoke, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Li Zheng nodded: "My father really likes her very much, and she is also talented!" ”

Yun Huanting frowned and glanced at Li Zheng, and her tone was a little condemning: "It sounds like you still have a lot of respect for this person?" Can you take him under your command? ”

Li Zheng lowered his head silently: "Erchen is ashamed, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to win over, but this person is not a person who admires the powerful, and regards fame and fortune as a passing cloud, which is really a bit tricky!" ”

"Confused! Can't do such a little thing? How can it be a great thing in the future? Yun Wanting reprimanded angrily, paused, and she said again: "I heard in this palace that this person walks very close to Xu Tian?" ”

Li Zheng nodded, "Exactly." ”

"Xu Tianxing, like his old thief, is a sinister and cunning person, what good can these two people do to get together? Since you can't win him over, you can't let him stand on the opposite side," Yun Huanting said this, glanced at Li Zheng, and her eyes were faintly oppressive: "Zheng'er, do you understand?" ”

Li Zheng was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Queen Mother, there's no need to do this, right?" Although Qi Hao is good friends with Xu Tianxing, if we can have a good relationship with her, maybe we can also get the support of General Xu, who has great military achievements, and his father relies on him very much......"

"Why are you so confused!" Yun Huanting said bitterly: "Who do you think Xu Tianxing is? Will they be at your mercy? He won't be on your side anyway! You are the prince, this person is the biggest obstacle, and you still want to win over? Forget it, the queen mother will handle this matter for you, you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

At the beginning, Xu Guanyi's framing of Gu Junyan was exposed, and finally ended up being imprisoned, which is inseparable from her, but although Xu Tianxing is not Xu Guanyi's parent, he has a deep relationship with his father and son, so Xu Tianxing will never stand on Li Zheng's side.

However, this is an old thing, Li Zheng doesn't know the inside story, and Yun Huanting doesn't want him to know.

Li Zheng opened his mouth, but Yun Huanting didn't give him a chance to speak, and slowed down his voice: "You're also tired, let's go back and rest early." ”

Li Zheng sighed, bowed, and then took his leave.

Walking out of Qiwu Palace, Li Zheng's mood became heavier and heavier, he didn't approve of what the queen mother did, but she did all this for him, which made him feel that he didn't know what to do.

Gu Qinghao followed Xu Tianxing out of the palace, Xu Tianxing had his own general's mansion, this time he was made a marquis again, and the Hou Mansion was also prepared a long time ago, and Li Sheng personally ordered the Ministry of Engineering to build it.

"You go back to the General's Mansion first, I have already sent someone to arrange it." Xu Tianxing said to Gu Qinghao: "I still have some things, I'll go back later." ”

Gu Qinghao looked at him with some curiosity, but he didn't say anything, so she didn't ask more, so she nodded in response.

The bear child looked unhappy: "Why do you want to live in your house?" It's not like we don't have a place to live! ”

When Gu Jun returned to the field, the Gu Mansion remained the same, and now there are still loyal servants taking care of it.

Gu Qinghao raised his hand and gave him a slap: "You're afraid that others won't know who you are, right?" ”

Gu Ershao was not used to being angry, and immediately became angry: "How many times have you beaten me for him!?" Your daughter is not in the middle of the stay! Elbow outward! ”

In a word, Gu Qing's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, what a big woman is not left! It's as if she bullied him with Brother Xiaobao! Her face was so hot that she didn't dare to look at Xu Tianxing's face.

Xu Tianxing looked at the bear child with a smile, this child rarely said a good word, not bad!

"Well, let's go first!" Gu Qing said quickly, and then pulled the two of them and hurriedly left.

Xu Tianxing could even see her reddened ears.

It's so cute.

I kept seeing them go far away and couldn't see their backs, Xu Tianxing turned over and got on the horse, he was going to Xu's mansion to see Xu Guanyi.

Xu Mansion is still the mansion given to Xu Guanyi by Li Sheng, Xu Guanyi relied on his skills from the dragon, resourceful and loyal to Li Sheng, he was the first celebrity in front of Li Sheng, and his mansion was also carefully built by the Ministry of Industry.

More than ten years have passed, you can vaguely see the scenery and prosperity here, Xu Tianxing walked into the house, he still remembers that when he was a child, there was an endless stream of guests here, and many officials came to visit his father-in-law every day, and then Xu Guanyi was convicted and imprisoned here, and those people were gone.

Even the slaves in the house, Xu Guanyi was the master and let them out, and now only an old slave and a cook are left, and the three of them are guarding the huge mansion, which is empty and lonely.

Today, there is a decline of luxury, and a faint desolation is revealed.

Xu Tianxing had just walked out of the lively celebration banquet, and when he saw the desertion of Xu's mansion, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

He walked towards the inner courtyard with ease, he knew that at this moment, Xu Guan would be in one place.

Muyun Courtyard was the courtyard that Xu Guanyi prepared for Su Yunlai, he once imagined that one day, she could live here as a hostess, but this dream, he did it all his life.

The plaque of Muyun Courtyard was hung on the door in a regular manner, which Xu Guanyi asked people to do, and he said that he could finally hang this plaque openly.

At that time, Xu Guanyi stood in front of the door, when he had just been removed from his post, he was guilty, but there was a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, and he had never been so down-to-earth and beautiful.

In fact, there is no need for Li Sheng to order a confinement, he has long been locked here, and he will not be able to escape for the rest of his life.

Xu Tian walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw a thin but tall shadow reflected in the window, and Xu Guanyi was reading a book.

This is Xu Guanyi's habit, how many years is like a day, even when he is in a high position, he is busy every day, and he will also read a book before going to bed.

This person, no matter how many wrong things he did at the beginning, he taught Xu Tianxing a lot of habits that affected him deeply.

Xu Tian walked in, looked at Xu Guanyi, who was concentrating, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, don't read if it's too late, be careful of burning your eyes." ”

Xu Guanyi raised his head and saw him, and smiled slightly, his smile was a little calm.

In the past 12 years, Xu Guanyi has aged a lot, this aging is not physical, but psychological, his eyes are compassionate and silent, like a dying old man, who has experienced the joys and sorrows of the world, and in the end he has been silent in joy and sorrow.

But he is obviously as old as Su Zhan and Li Sheng, but those two are high-spirited, even energetic, and they are not much worse than him.

"Got it." Xu Guanyi responded very obediently, looking at Xu Tianxing's gaze, with a little brilliance: "I heard the voice from outside today, but it was a big victory?" ”

Xu Tianxing nodded: "Lord Su has already signed a peace treaty," After a pause, he said again: "I heard that the envoys sent by the Three Kingdoms are so angry, it seems that Lord Su is really suitable for this kind of thing." ”

"Ah Zhan has always been like this, and he will never suffer," Xu Guanyi joked with a smile: "It is said that he is a prodigy, a young and adult talent, but it can be compared to ...... Compared to her, it is much worse. ”

Xu Tianxing pursed the corners of his lips, they all knew who he was talking about 'she'.

"I was at the border this time and saw Qing'er." Xu Tianxing thought about it and said in a low voice.

Xu Guan was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of brilliance flashed in his silent eyes: "Really? After a pause, he muttered, "Twelve years, this kid has grown up." ”

"Well, it's very smart, I can win the battle this time, thanks to her advice......" Xu Tianxing didn't want to let him stay alone in the room, so he deliberately mentioned Su Yun to make him a little more interesting.

Xu Tianxing said the interesting story of being in Xuzhou City with Gu Qing, Xu Guanyi was really interested, and sighed from time to time: "It's the same as her mother!" ”

talked until late at night, when Xu Tianxing saw that his face was tired, so he said goodbye and left.

Xu Tianxing walked out, Xu Guanyi looked at his tall and sturdy back, and sighed in his heart, who would have thought that the young man who was adopted by just a thought back then would later hold up a piece of heaven on his head for him?

"Xiaobao." Xu Guanyi called.

Xu Tianxing looked back suspiciously, the name Xu Tianxing was given by Li Sheng himself, but he never told Xu Guanyi, he hoped that in front of his father-in-law, he would always be Xiaobao.

"If you're not sure you have her, don't love her." Xu Guanyi looked into his eyes and said seriously.

Xu Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was Xu Guanyi's most sincere warning to him, and this admonition was verified by him all his life.

He's been there, so he knows how painful it is to not get it.

Xu Tianxing's eyes changed slightly: "Then father-in-law, what if I can't help but love her?" ”

Xu Guanyi looked at him and was silent for a long time, his eyes were a little hollow, as if he saw himself through him.

"If you can't help but love her, then just love her." It took a long time for Xu Tianxing to hear his deep voice.

Xu Tianxing's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly wanted to ask him, did he regret it?

just looked at his calm expression now, but he still didn't ask.

He already knew the answer.

He never regretted it.
