Lu Xingchuan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Gu Changling and joked: "It doesn't matter if I am implicated. The main thing is that I am worried that she will be disadvantageous to my husband. Sir, please don't worry too much, because there will be a rift with me."

Gu Changling took the tea cup and said with a smile: "How come, Chang Ling has always known how much His Highness trusts me."

Speaking of trust, Lu Xingchuan suddenly remembered the time when he first met Mr.

At that time, Gu Changling had just entered the Hanlin Academy. He was ridiculed by people in the Hanlin Academy every day because of his reputation as the son-in-law of the Duke's family.

But he remained indifferent and focused on his own affairs every day, letting others describe the top of his head as a grassland behind his back.

Lu Xingchuan had been in and out of the Hanlin Academy several times on official business, and the gossip he heard always revolved around his husband. He couldn't help but be curious, but it was just curiosity.

He has no intention of paying attention to a little person.

Until one day, he passed by the caisson.

During the lunch break, the midday sun passed through the tops of the ginkgo trees above the caisson, casting bright square golden light and shadow.

The gentleman stood on the edge of the intertwined golden light and darkness, holding a book and reading.

Lu Xingchuan couldn't understand why people who were excluded every day could read so calmly and quietly.

Couldn't help but stop.

The other party noticed it and stepped forward to salute. It was very ordinary, no different from other people in the Hanlin Academy.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, the man who was always calm and quiet suddenly said: "Does Your Highness need a staff?"

At that moment, he stopped and looked back to see the ambition in Mr.'s eyes.

Indifferent to the world, calm and quiet?

It's just an illusion.

At that time, he was still arrogant and said: "Not just anyone can be my staff."

The gentleman smiled, gentle and elegant, like a spring breeze.

But the words he spoke were like an extremely sharp sword, hitting the bull's-eye, "If Your Highness is willing to give it a try, within two years, I will make Your Highness a prince who can compete with the Crown Prince."

At that time, Lu Xingchuan's mother's family was not a prominent one, but he was just a local magistrate in Qianzhou. His father didn't pay enough attention to him, so he made him king, sent him out of the palace, and assigned him a simple job.

He tried hard to perform, but he repeatedly hit the wall, stuck on the edge of being dispensable, and was severely stepped on by the prince...

Therefore, he longed for power, and longed to one day seize the crown prince's proud position in the East Palace.

So, he gave Mr.

Within a year, his husband planned the world for him behind his back. Lu Xingchuan gained the attention of his father and was given the authority to patrol the city. He used the authority of his mother's clan as a local official to secretly cultivate power.

From then on, he changed his name to Mr. Gu.

"What is Your Highness thinking, so lost in thought?"

Gu Changling's voice interrupted Lu Xingchuan's thoughts. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just thought of the time when I first met my husband. I was really lucky to have my husband's help."

Gu Changling smiled, "Everything complements each other. It is Changling's luck to be able to help His Highness."

"Stop it, stop it, don't be numb, I'm getting goosebumps." Lu Xingchuan teased half-heartedly.

Gu Changling laughed, and then he talked about the fishy things in the Japanese pirates' letter, asking His Highness to look back and pay more attention to Grand Scholar Sun.

Lu Xingchuan hummed and discussed the recent court affairs again.

Seeing that he was no longer suspicious, Gu Changling quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Lu Xingchuan came here in the name of Shi Shi, so it was not appropriate to stay any longer. After discussing the recent political situation, he stood up and left.

When he opened the door, there was a burst of noise. If he listened carefully, he could still hear Xiao Shishi's voice.

Lu Xingchuan was surprised, and Gu Changling frowned.

Because he heard a woman's voice.

So I sent His Highness out on an excuse, and together we moved to the source of the sound.

As soon as I arrived in the garden, I saw the servants and servants gathered in a circle, discussing with gusto.

When Gu Changling walked over, the boy didn't even react, but he coughed, and all the servants and boys immediately dispersed, leaving only the two squatting ones, staring at each other.

Gu Changling was speechless, this woman actually played with crickets.

When Xiao Si saw his brother, he felt as if he had done something hugely wrong. He threw away the cricket cage and asked awkwardly: "When did the emperor come out?"

When Yunwei saw that the cricket cage had fallen over and the fairy was about to jump out, she quickly used the cage to catch it and complained: "Xiao Shisi, you almost crushed my fairy to death."

Xiao Shisi looked at this stupid woman with hatred, and his eyes said, look up, look up.

Yun Wei actually knew they were coming, otherwise why would those maids run away?

She stood up unhurriedly, handed the cage in her hand to Rushi, and wiped the dirt off her skirt. She said casually, "Brother Xingchuan, I've finished discussing chess with Mr. Gu."

Lu Xingchuan guessed that it was Xiaosi who told her that he was discussing chess with his husband in the study.

He said along the way: "Well, the discussion is over, Gu Xiuzhan's chess skills are superb, I am ashamed."

Gu Changling said modestly, "Where there is, His Highness King Qi admitted it."

Yun Wei cooperated, "Playing chess is so boring. You two are so interested in it. In my opinion, it's not as interesting as fighting crickets, right, Xiaosi Fourteen."

Xiao Shisi's eyes almost rolled to the sky, and he said against his will: "No, I prefer reading."

Lu Xingchuan continued: "Oh, Xiao Shisi has such a good ambition. Brother Huang also has a set of books. I will bring them to you later."

Little Fourteen curled his lips and said, "Brother Emperor, I was wrong. Can you give me a few less books?"

Yunwei just wanted to speak for him, but Gu Changling stepped in and said, "Work hard, work hard, learn silk and bamboo, and you will have work and rest. Your Highness, the Fourteenth Highness, has only turned eight during the Chinese New Year. There is nothing wrong with being childlike and having fun occasionally. Your Highness Don’t be too harsh on His Highness Fourteenth.”

Oh, sir, he was the best to him. Xiao Shisi looked at Gu Changling with stars in his eyes.

Yunwei followed, "That's right. When I came, Xiao Si Si was sitting in the pavilion reading, so be serious."

Wow, the stupid woman has grown a brain now. Little Fourteen's starry eyes glanced at her for a moment.

Lu Xingchuan sighed, "Look at how harsh you two are talking about me. I just think he shouldn't make the princess do such childish things and embarrass the princess."

Xiao Shisi shouted in his heart: It was that woman who pulled me!

Yunwei suppressed a smile, "Brother Xingchuan wronged Xiaosi. I love to play, so I specially asked Xiaosi to accompany me."

Lu Xingchuan: "..."

After chatting with them for a few words, Lu Xingchuan took Xiao Shisi away with him on the pretext that he had something to do.

When leaving, Yunwei suddenly handed the grasshopper cage to Xiao Shisi, asking him to train a warrior before fighting next time, and said angrily: "You are still a warrior, your warrior is not as good as my fairy."

Little Fourteen refused to accept it and took it immediately. He glanced timidly at the emperor's brother without any intention of reprimanding him, and then said harshly in a low voice, "Just wait, my warrior will definitely defeat your fairy."

Yunwei looked at his serious look and finally couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiao Shisi's head, "Well, I'm waiting for you to challenge, go ahead."

Little Fourteen didn't like people touching his head, but this woman's hands were so soft and warm.

He snorted worthlessly, trying to regain some face, and then ran away with the Grasshopper cage in his arms.

Yun Wei laughed, "Oh my, I'm so shy."

Gu Changling looked at the smile in her eyes and asked, "Do you like His Highness the Fourteenth Highness?"

"Well, I like it. His Highness Fourteenth looks so cute."

"Then do you like His Highness King Qi?"
