Anyway, this is finally good news, which shows His Majesty the Emperor's favor for Prince Duan's mansion and his love for Gu Changting. Although it is sad that my brother died early for the country, if it weren't for Gu Changting's Sacred Heart, the prince's title would have been given to you so easily?

After everyone thanked him at the moment, Xue Yan said to Gu Changting: "Lord Shizi, oh no, I should call you the prince, the prince, the emperor asked you to enter the palace in the afternoon, and there are important matters to discuss." ”

Gu Changting held the holy decree and nodded, "Okay, I know, my father-in-law has worked hard to make this trip." ”

"What's the hard work of the miscellaneous family? It's the prince, and he still has to mourn. The emperor is now old, and the only people he can rely on are the five princes and you. Especially this time, Prince Duan died in battle, the iron hooves of Northern Hungary were raging on the border, the emperor was sad and worried, he couldn't eat and sleep well these days, and he was afraid that he would rely more on the prince in the future, and you couldn't fall. ”

"Yes, my father died in battle, I will definitely inherit his will, do my best to assist the emperor, and share the worries of the king."

Prince Duan's palace and the royal family are also close relatives, and these words naturally have a bit of sincerity, but they are not all polite words.

At noon, Gu Changting had lunch in Xin Nian's Qingliang Courtyard, and after the two of them finished eating, Xin Nian changed his clothes into the palace, and asked, "The emperor still wants to discuss important matters with you at this time, I don't know what it will be?" You think about it yourself, you can deal with it, don't hold on to difficult things, you don't feel good these days, I see it in my eyes. ”

"It should be for the purpose of commanding the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Before the king of Nanping said that he was sick and resigned, after the emperor inspected the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he seemed to intend to hand over the command to me, but after returning to Beijing, he received the news that his father had died in battle, and he delayed it for more than a month, probably to renegotiate the choice of commander. “

Xin Nian was speechless: "There are 200,000 people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, but you have the heavy responsibility of guarding the Beijing Division, and there are all elite soldiers and good generals, and the emperor wants to hand over the power of leadership to you?" No wonder you attacked the prince, I don't know, it turns out that it is rumored that the prince of Duan is deeply favored, but he still underestimated you, this grace is not much better than the prince. ”

Gu Changting smiled bitterly: "Yes! The emperor does regard me as his own, and this gentleman's grace is difficult to repay even if he is broken in pieces, so ...... You'll know how hard it is for me. ”

Xin Nian nodded and sighed: "Others only see your scenery, but they don't know your situation. Alas! This prince's title is really not so good. ”

Gu Changting stretched out his hand and stroked the hair between his sideburns for her, and said softly: "Ten thousand taels of gold are easy to get, but it is difficult to find one." I never expected that we would be separated for several years, and you would know my troubles. It's worth it, no matter how dangerous the road ahead, I'm not alone. ”

Xin Nian looked at him intently, and said softly: "I don't dare to say anything else, but in this life, I will share the glory and disgrace with you and never give up." ”

"Okay." Gu Changting nodded heavily: "Then I'll go into the palace." ”

"Go ahead, come back early."

Xin Nian sent him to the door, and after watching him leave, Fang turned around and went back to the room, only to see Xinghua beside him pursing his lips and smiling: "I listened to the words of my grandfather and grandmother, it was really moving." It turns out that this is love as deep as the sea? Strange for thousands of years, I don't know how many infatuated men and women have tossed and turned for a love word, and promised each other life and death. ”

"How can you say so evil? It's just marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, and I'm already his person in this life. ”

Xin Nian said lightly. After speaking, I saw Xinghua sticking out her tongue and whispering: "Slave maid, I thought that if I said this, my aunt would be annoyed." Before, you couldn't hear such a thing anymore. ”

"At this time and that time, I have come out of Qingliang Pavilion, and I can't listen to anything else."

Xin Nian smiled, and suddenly heard Xinghua say softly: "Auntie, I really feel that the master seems to have a deep love for you, you said, if Miss Yao suddenly comes to the palace at this time, the master will be ...... to her Should...... That's what you're like at most, right? ”

Miss Yao? Yao Yutong?

Xin Nian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stop, recalling the beautiful and cold peach and plum face, she shook her head: "How come?" Don't you know? The more you can't get it, the more you miss it, the more you miss it, and the longer it takes, the more the figure is in your heart, and it becomes the moon in the sky, the more unreachable it is, the more you yearn for it. “

Xinghua pursed her lips and whispered: "That's not necessarily, I haven't seen my aunt miss Tan Gongzi like this." ”

Xin Nian glanced at her: "You hoof, you are really getting bolder and bolder, you dare to say anything." The situation between me and Tan Feng is different from Gu Changting and Yao Yutong, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. ”

"Yes." Xinghua nodded, stretched out her hand to caress her heart, and said secretly: Don't blame my aunt for saying that I am getting bolder and bolder, this is indeed bold, but my aunt is becoming more and more peaceful now, and she didn't scold me.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a timid voice behind him: "Xin...... Aunt Xin. ”

"Huh?"

Xin Nian and Xinghua turned around at the same time, and saw a slim girl standing outside the courtyard gate, because she lowered her head and couldn't see clearly, although the clothes she was wearing were not surprising, they didn't look like they were worn by a girl, but they weren't Gu Changting's daughters, but apart from them, where else was there......

Xin Nian thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he called out tentatively: "Is it the third girl?" ”

"Isn't it? The three girls don't look like this. Xinghua looked at Xin Nian suspiciously: "We only met the third girl in the morning." ”

"It's the third girl in Aunt Qin's courtyard."

Xinghua suddenly realized, only to see that Xin Nian had already stepped forward, and asked with a smile, "Why did the third girl come over?" ”

"Aunt ......"

Gu Yunxiang couldn't help but look up, but quickly lowered his head again, and choked up: "My mother...... No, Aunt Qin...... She...... She's just afraid she won't be able to, I'm ...... I don't know who to turn to? I have to ask you, is it...... Do you want to prepare a coffin for her? Can't always ...... You can't even have a coffin, right? She...... It's also my father's concubine......"

Xin Nian was stunned, Aunt Qin and the third girl used to be invisible people in the mansion, not to mention that their feet were busy with the old prince's funeral these days, who would care about the two of them?

Xin Nian had previously instructed the kitchen to send some light and easy-to-digest food to the courtyard, not to be sloppy. It's just that not long after she entered the backyard, she had never come into contact with the mother and daughter, and she mentioned it casually at the time, but she never thought about it later, who knew that the first time she saw the three girls, she heard such a bad news.

"This ...... How's it going? Is it going to be a no-brainer? This...... What happened to Aunt Qin? Have you ever asked a doctor? How is it that no one has ever talked about it? ”

A trace of pain welled up in Xin Nian's heart: The palace has just finished a funeral, is this Aunt Qin going to follow in the footsteps of the old prince? It's also tragic.
