Zhou Gu followed Yan Echo into the East Palace.

When they came to the study, the two sat down, and Qin Luan took a palace maid to serve tea.

Zhou Gu sat calmly, did not speak, as if he did not know Qin Luan, and waited for someone to finish fiddling with melons and fruits and refreshments, and then he spoke.

Yan Echo took the initiative to mention it, and said to Zhou Gu with a smile: "Before you leave Beijing, ask Gu Gu so that she will not be bullied, have plenty of food and clothing, and be stable every day. After thinking about it, he made her a female official in the East Palace."

After he finished speaking, he said to Qin Luan: "Female official Qin, you stay in the East Palace, you can be a female official, thank you Zhou Gu."

Zhou Gu didn't expect Yan Echo to say this in front of Qin Luan, and he was stunned for a moment.

Qin Luan paused, looked at Yan Echo, and saw that he was smiling, as if he was saying it casually, she was not sure of His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, after all, she had just passed the test yesterday, and today was the first day to serve in His Royal Highness the Prince's study, more than a month ago, on the day she first arrived in the East Palace, the housekeeper beat her, and directly mentioned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would take care of her on Thursday's face, but she also had to abide by the rules of the East Palace, and she should not think about it, so that she could have a good life, otherwise Thursday's face would not work.

Qin Luan is a smart person, she knows that the butler's beating is what the prince means, she doesn't dare to have the slightest delusion, after all, she doesn't know if she doesn't enter the East Palace, and she doesn't know until she enters the East Palace, and there is no woman in the East Palace who can get close to His Royal Highness the Prince.

The same woman who was given to the East Palace by the queen was enough to know that she was enough than the others who were thrown aside and ignored.

Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pointed it out directly in front of Zhou Gu like this, although she didn't know what she meant, she still quickly put down the teapot in her hand, straightened up, and saluted Zhou Gufu, "Thank you Thursday Gongzi for saying things for the slave."

Zhou Gu looked at Yan Echo, and didn't see anything in front of him, but his intuition was wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was definitely not a person who would take care of such a trivial matter, even if he opened his mouth to let him answer such a matter, but for him, such a trivial matter, it would be enough to tell someone, and he couldn't deliberately remember to bring it up in front of Qin Luan.

In particular, Qin Luan has only been in the East Palace for more than a month, and he has already sat on the female official and come to this study to serve heavily, could it be that Qin Luan is really talented, and in a short period of time, he has to be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince?

Zhou Gu also wondered in his heart, but he still put down the tea cup in his hand, waved his hand to Qin Luan, and said honestly, "I have some friendship with your brother, when your brother leaves, please let me take care of you, I haven't taken care of anyone, the first time I had some hands, almost self-defeating, fortunately you entered the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, I can say a few words for you, you will serve carefully in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to treat you badly."

The implication is that you don't need to thank me, I am also looking at your brother's face, and it has nothing to do with you.

Qin Luan said yes, and stepped aside in a regular manner to make tea for the two.

Yan Echo seemed to say it really casually, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, and said goodbye to Consultant Zhou, "This trip to Jiangning County has gained a lot?"

Zhou Gu's mind raced, and he nodded with a smile, "It's really rewarding."

He looked at Yan Echo, suddenly straightened his waist wisely, and deliberately pointed to the clothes on his body, "Your Highness, what do you think of my clothes?"

Yan Echo was just about to serve the teacup, and he was stunned when he heard the words.

Zhou Gu straightened his sleeves, his eyebrows and eyes were flying with a smile, and all his skills were used at this time, which was much more explicit than facing Xie Shi's show, "This is the fabric style that my fiancée gave me, and I personally chose the fabric style, he said that I look good, so I should wear some brightly colored clothes, in the past, I wore a single and dark color because my grandmother and my mother were afraid that I would wear too good-looking and too attractive people to cause trouble, now that everyone knows that I have a fiancée, but anyone who wants to make a face will not worry about me anymore, so, I should have dressed better, it was pleasing to the eye, and she would love it."

Yan echoed, "Oh?" sighed, looked his clothes up and down, smiled and nodded, "It's good."

"yes, yes?" Zhou Gu suddenly looked like a peacock, and his whole body was full of joy that he was about to open the screen, "My fiancée is very good, good at chess, horse racing, and the art of war. She is also good-looking, like a flower shining on water when she is demure, and she is like a weak willow supporting the wind in her actions. All the people of Jiangning County, but look at it

Until I stayed with her, they said we were very compatible."

Yan Echo nodded with a smile and raised his eyebrows, "So, you're going to get married right away?"

Zhou Gu shook his head, "Not immediately, didn't I want to participate in the Golden Autumn Expedition? After I finish my scientific examination, I will go to Jiangzhou with my mother to discuss whether it will be fast or slow, and it will be up to my mother and her family to agree on whether it will be fast or slow."

Yan Hui bowed his head, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "So, what you told me when you left Beijing was not to count?"

Zhou Gu shook his head, "After I came back yesterday, I already told my grandfather, and my grandfather said something else."

Yan echoed his head, and when he got down to business, he waved his hand at Qin Luan, "Stand down!"

Qin Luan said yes, took the palace maid, and retreated.

The door of the study was closed, and there was no one else, Zhou Gu suddenly became comfortable, put away the smile on his face and showed off all over his body, and calmed down, "Grandfather said that if I don't participate in the Golden Autumn Scientific Expedition, Taifu Qin will definitely not do it, saying that I can participate in the Scientific Expedition and then consider traveling."

He told Yan Echo what the old protector had told him, and then asked him, "What do you see, Your Highness?"

Yan Huisheng pondered for a moment, "What the old man said is right, it is feasible to look at it alone."

Zhou Gu was very happy, "Your Highness also thinks it's okay, then it's the best."

Yan echoed and smiled, he naturally felt that he could, if he went to travel after the scientific expedition, he would not be in a hurry to get married for a while, although he didn't plan to destroy Zhou Gu's family affairs, but he wouldn't want him to get married as soon as possible.

Speaking of traveling, Zhou Gu was full of interest, "Your Highness, where do you think I should start traveling? Where do you want to take it? Where do I go first?"

"There are two places, one is Nanping and the other is Northern Hebei." Yan Echo smiled, "However, Nanping has Ningchi to take refuge, and Gu also sent someone to Nanping to help him, in a short period of time, he only needs to subtly help Ning Chi secretly infiltrate Nanping's forces, and it is not appropriate to make a big move, after all, he has just cleaned up Jiang Sheng, and he has made the eldest brother's people hate Gu." Why don't you go to northern Hebei, the Pingxi General's Mansion in northern Hebei, whether you are secretly raising soldiers and horses, you can investigate on behalf of Gu."

Zhou Gu was shocked, "General Pingxi's Mansion privately raises soldiers and horses?"

"It's possible." Yan replied: "In the past year, the Pingxi General's Mansion has been allocated by the imperial court three times, and each time there is a necessary reason, and the second brother has admitted a new concubine into the palace this month, and that concubine's family is quite rich."

Zhou Gu nodded, "In that case, after my scientific research, I will go to Jiangzhou first, and then go to northern Hebei."

"Hmm." Yan echoed his head, "I heard that you are in Jiangning County and have met a lot of talented people?"

Zhou Gu mentioned this and said, "There are many talents in Jiangzhou, and in this year's scientific examination, if nothing else, at least ten people can be on the list."

"Oh?" Yan Echo was surprised, "So many?"

Zhou Gu is very sure, "The first thing to bear the brunt of is my quasi-uncle, he has great talent, no accident, he will definitely be able to go to high school, he studied under Xie Yuan, and studied at Yunshan Academy, he is brilliant in literature, and he won the first place, maybe it's not a deal." The second is Jiang Xing, who is the side branch of the Jiang family, that is, a few days ago, I begged His Highness to protect him from Jiang Sheng's case, and Chen Zhou of the Jiangning County Governor's Mansion, although he is a bit stupid, but he is also a talented ......

He said more than a dozen names in a row, all of which Su Xing had really brought him into contact with with his friends.

Yan Echo was most interested in Su Xingze, "I heard that Su Xing entered Beijing with you? Where are you now?"

"He now lives in Dongsi Hutong in Dongcheng." Zhou Gu added, "It's Xie Yuan's house."

Yan Echo said that he understood.

Advisor Zhou: "Your Highness wants me to introduce him to you as soon as possible?" I have a marriage contract with the Su family, and he came to Beijing with me, and those who are interested have already known about this relationship, so there is no need to hide it."

Regardless of whether Su Xing boarded the door of the East Palace or not, with his relationship, he has been classified into the camp of the East Palace, and with his entry into Beijing, he has already been targeted, in fact, there is no difference between being upright and not being upright.

Yan Huisheng thought about it, Su Rong hadn't replied yet, he shook his head, "Don't worry, let him read the book with peace of mind." After saying that, he thought of something, and said, "Him

How many guards did you bring with you when you came to Beijing?"

"Twenty of them."

"How's the martial arts?"

Zhou Gu was stunned for a moment, "I haven't taken the teaching test, so I don't know." Why does Your Highness ask this? Do you think someone is going to work against him?"

"It's possible." Yan replied: "You go to Jiangning County, the Jiang clan has fallen, the people of the eldest brother's faction should have found out that there is your handiwork, he can't deal with Lone and you, maybe he will do it from Su Xingze's body." After all, he is famous, not unknown."

Zhou Gu sat up straight, feeling that it was reasonable, and Su Xing must not let anything happen to him, so he immediately said, "Go back later, I will ask my grandfather to send some people to protect him."

Yan echoed his head, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of just in case." It's the best."

See you tomorrow~
