The East Palace is the residence of the princes of all dynasties.

But the position of the crown prince of Da Liang's generation was set too early, Gu Cang was not even a minor at that time, and the East Palace was vacant for many years, and then Gu Cang was stationed until now.

The princes of the Liang Kingdom can build a mansion outside the palace when they are eighteen years old, and Gu Cang naturally has his own mansion built in the East City, he lives outside the city on weekdays, and the East Palace belonging to the prince rarely lives, especially the prince Gu Cang often uses his illness as an excuse, and no one criticizes it.

And this East Palace, which has been vacant for many years, has given many people hope, which can be regarded as a miracle.

And Gu Xuan wanted to find Gu Cang, so he could only go to Gu Cang's mansion in the capital to submit a post.

Although he is only close to the second brother in the palace, Gu Cang has suffered from a strange illness since he was a child, and he can't exercise for a long time, and he lives in a simple place all the year round and doesn't show up often, and the second is that although the two of them are both princes of Liangguo on the surface, the actual identity gap is not to mention outsiders, it is very big in Gu Xuan's own heart, and the third is that Gu Cang has been very busy all these years, how can an idler like him disturb others, and with the combination of the three, he has rarely taken the initiative to visit the second brother Gu Cang over the years.

It's no wonder that even the porter of Gu Cang's mansion can't recognize him.

As the saying goes, it is the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, not to mention the doorman of the crown prince of the dignified Liang Kingdom, and the hidden authority is very great, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant.

Under the door plaque with the three big characters of 'Prince's Mansion', the porter looked at Gu Xuan who came to visit him suspiciously, and even asked very rudely.

"Are you really the Fifth Prince?"

What is the prince, that is the noble son of the royal family, the son of the true dragon emperor, how can he dress so ordinary, no wonder this porter is a little suspicious, after all, his duty is to stop those who should not go in at the door, if it is a liar or something to deceive himself, let him go in and have something happen to him, but he will lose his head.

Gu Xuan smiled slightly, and was not angry at the other party's rudeness, but teased: "If it is fake, not to mention that if I am really a liar, I will naturally wear a gang in front of the second brother, what are you afraid of?"

The porter nodded, thinking that this was the truth, and immediately put away his contempt, did not dare to delay, and hurried in to pass the word.

After a while, the porter, who had a cold face and was not very polite before, ran back, changed his contempt and rudeness just now, and nodded and led the way for Gu Xuan.

As the concierge of the prince's mansion, he has seen a lot of big people on weekdays, but no matter what Dali Siqing, or a squire, or even a national pillar like a Shangshu from a product to visit, his master will always be that strange, unfazed face, today he actually has an unprecedented smile not to say, but also very enthusiastic to call himself to meet it, thinking that the relationship between these two must be very good, now serve this well, but also let him give himself a few more good words, he knows the status of his master, that is the prince, the future emperor of Liangguo, who is not as useful as the current master。

With a polite smile, Gu Xuan followed the porter all the way through the corridor, and he didn't look much on the way, so he walked to the door of the room where Gu Cang was without squinting.

The room was very warm, Gu Cang's body was extremely weak, and when he was a child, he even had to hold a jade that could heat up on his own to go out, and now it is the middle of winter again, so he naturally pays more attention to keeping warm.

When he walked in, Gu Cang was sitting on a chair with a backrest, drinking the soup in the cup one by one, and on the table in front of him, there was a set of four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some scattered paper, it looked like an office place.

Gu Xuan didn't look too much, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I've seen the second brother." ”

Gu Cang put down the spoon, turned his head and smiled slightly, waved his hand lightly, and motioned for the porter to go out, who quickly agreed, carefully retreated, and closed the door for the two people in the house.

Gu Cang didn't get up, but greeted happily: "Fifth brother, come and sit down." ”

Then he shouted to the door at the other end: "Shuang'er, pour some milk tea and come in." ”

"Milk tea?"

Gu Xuan obediently sat opposite the second brother who had treated him very well since he was a child, and was a little puzzled, what kind of new thing was this, it was simply unheard of.

Gu Cang explained: "It is a good thing that I stumbled upon, it is a mixture of tea, milk, and sugar in different proportions, it is very delicious, it was originally a kind of local people's food in Yanzhou, I improved it, called milk tea, you have to taste it." ”

Gu Xuan had already had an impression of all kinds of strange ideas in the second brother's mind, so he was not too surprised, so he patiently waited for the personal maid sister he had seen when he was a child to come in.

After a while, a steaming cup of something that was a mixture of brown and milky white in color was placed in front of Gu Xuan, he first thanked the maid for the cream, then picked up the cup, took a sip carefully, and then stretched out his finger and praised: "It's really delicious, the taste is very unique, the things made by the second brother are really good." ”

Gu Cang's face, which looked like an ancient well without waves, suddenly showed a smug look, first 'hum', and then boasted: "That's natural, second brother, I have been doing it for a long time to succeed, Shuang'er and they have drunk a small jar of wine, hahaha." ”

Seeing that Gu Xuan was still taking small sips, Gu Cang spoke again.

"The fifth brother is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he took the initiative to come to me today, it seems that there should be something urgent, just say it, you and I brothers, there is no need to be polite. ”

For this good-tempered second brother, Gu Xuan is very close, but he has a sense of isolation that slowly arises, not only because of the status gap between the two sides, but also because he doesn't like the life of the royal family in the first place, and there is also a natural sense of alienation from his peers who are very powerful.

But when he thought that Uncle Jinglong, who had taken great care of himself since he was a child and taught himself martial arts without reservation, was so uncomfortable, Gu Xuan still mustered up the courage to speak.

"The second brother is really as wise as a torch, it's not anything else, but the family of a good friend of mine was oppressed by local officials, and he told me about it, so I had to come to beg the second brother. ”

Gu Cang was not the slightest surprised, but said while eating the remaining medicinal materials in the cup: "Tell me in detail." ”

Gu Xuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "The county leader of Huangsha County, Hedong County, Youzhou, oppressed the local people and occupied the widows of martyrs. ”

"Oh, it's so serious, it's really unreasonable!" When Gu Cang heard this, he immediately put down the praise cup and scolded loudly, as if he was not lightly angry.

Gu Xuan didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only wait for the following.

After scolding, Gu Cang turned his head and said, "Huangsha County, Hedong County, Youzhou, should be the battalion commander of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, Jinglong." ”

Gu Xuan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but unexpectedly, Gu Cang directly waved his hand and said: "Based on the information you said, it must be him, you want to stand up for this teacher, but fifth brother, I know the county leader of Huangsha County, his surname is Xu, and he is a distant relative of Xu Jintang, the general of the entire Youzhou, you want to move him。。。。。。 ”

Gu Cang didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very obvious, to offend the Xu family for the sake of a battalion commander of the cavalry guard?

Gu Xuan only felt a thunderbolt explode in his mind, making his scalp tingle, making his brain chaotic, and so blown that he couldn't even speak.

At this moment, Gu Xuan was suddenly extremely disappointed in this second brother, the original kind of closeness, respect, and even admiration mixed with feelings collapsed, only to feel panicked in his heart, sad to the extreme, how could the second brother in his childhood who did not hesitate to offend everyone and give himself a head has become like this?

It's all about the pros and cons, right or wrong?

His head was in a trance, his heart was full of resentment, and he was sad, and at this moment he stood up leisurely, and reluctantly arched his hand: "In this case, the second brother will be excused for disturbing the second brother when I have never been here today, and I will confess." ”

With that, he got up and left.
