Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

After playing a trick on his mother, Gu Ling strolled around, planning to go to Mianhua Pavilion to sleep for a night to avoid the limelight. On the way, he met his father Ning.

Ning was a gentle and elegant man. Gu Ling could never understand how such a man could fall in love with her mother.

Ning looked at her with a smile. The lantern in the servant's hand was bright, making his eyes and brows look gentle.

"Zero, where are you going?"

Gu Ling stopped and touched his nose guiltily: "Uh, just taking a walk."

Ning came over and held her hands: "I haven't seen you all day, and you ran out as soon as you came back, instead of coming to see me."

Seeing that Ning was a little sad, Gu Ling suddenly felt distressed. She couldn't bear to see her father sad.

Look, Ning, who was usually afraid that she would bump into something, grabbed her hand with such force that even Gu Ling felt a little pain.

"Dad, I was wrong."

Ning smiled at her gently: "Good girl. Beat her!"

The pain in the back of his neck came, and the moment he lost consciousness, Gu Ling had only one thought in his mind:

Damn! It’s Daddy’s gentle trap!

This slippery fish was finally caught.

Ning caught her fallen daughter and when she lowered her head slightly, she saw the roast chicken tightly wrapped in her daughter's arms.

Ning: “…”

He had a complicated expression and had originally planned to send her to the ancestral hall, but when he thought that Gu Ling might not have eaten all day, he suddenly felt distressed and asked the servants to take her back to her room to sleep.

The servant carried Gu Ling on his back and heard Ning's instructions: "Add a few more locks to the door to prevent anyone from escaping."

The next day, the courtyard of the general's mansion was bustling with activity.

When he came back yesterday, Baiji, who had been in cahoots with his master, had already been beaten with ten boards. Today it was the turn of the culprit.

After breakfast, Gu Ling walked up to the general, lifted his skirt, and skillfully lay down on the bench, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

The general kicked the stool and said, "Get up! Did I ask you to lie down?"

Knowing that General Gu hated wasting food, how could he not be punished for throwing away so many cherries?

Seeing Gu Ling's sneaky look, the general sneered and threw a bag to her.

Gu Ling got up, opened it and took a look. Hmm, it looked a little familiar, like a cherry pit?

The general threw a shovel at him again and said, "When the cherry trees sprout, you will leave the palace."

Gu Ling said seriously: "Or, you can just hit me with a stick!"

General Gu ignored her.

The general who was secretly glancing at Gu Ling saw that she had a bitter look on her face and smiled in his heart. Ning Lang was right. The child was grown up and he had to give her some face. He couldn't just beat her with a stick. It would be much more effective to let her grow flowers and vegetables than to beat her with a stick.

Gu Ling cultivated himself in the mansion for a month and did not go out. Young Master Shen from the Minister of Personnel's mansion dug three feet deep but could not find the man who kidnapped the horse.

He threw the jade pendant onto the table and ate a piece of peach blossom cake with gritted teeth.

"What's wrong with An An? Is the peach blossom cake not delicious?"

The person who came was tall and walked like the wind. He looked somewhat like Shen Nian'an. He was Shen Jingyi, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

After taking the water handed to him by Shen Jingyi, Shen Nian'an swallowed the peach blossom cake and then spoke angrily.

"My Yuan Bai was kidnapped a few days ago. The guy threw me a broken jade pendant and ran away. I, I didn't find him."

Yuanbai is a snow-white horse with a sturdy physique and a somewhat arrogant temperament. Shen Nian'an likes it very much.

Yuanbai was a little sick a few days ago and was more sensitive. Shen Nian'an estimated that the air outside was better, and Yuanbai would be in a better mood and recover faster, so he took Yuanbai out for a stroll.

It is not proper for a man to ride a horse in the street, so Shen Nian'an harnessed Yuan Bai to the carriage.

Who would have thought, huh!

Shen Jingyi had also heard of this matter, but she couldn't find the culprit. She could still recognize him based on the servants' clothes.

It turned out that General Gu couldn't afford to lose face, so whenever he sent people to capture Gu Ling, he would ask his servants to change into ordinary clothes to prevent anyone from recognizing him.

Although it seems a bit like covering one's ears and stealing the bell, once something happens, it will be easy to deny it!

Therefore, the only thing Shen Nian'an knew was Gu Ling's face and the jade pendant she threw away.

Shen Jingyi became interested: "Tell me what that person looks like. I may not know him."

Thinking back to Gu Ling's face and thinking about his own mistaken heartbeat at that moment, Shen Nian'an said, "She was dressed in fancy clothes, all in red, and had a face prettier than a man."

After hearing this description, Shen Jingyi found the jade pendant on the table looked somewhat familiar.

"Sister, have you thought of something?"

Shen Jingyi laughed: "Oh, I know too many people, I can't think of them all at once. Oh, I have something to do, so I won't be home for dinner. Please tell my parents for me."

Shen Jingyi murmured in her heart: Gu Ling also said that she was under house arrest by General Gu, but now it seems that it was clearly an excuse. The truth is that she hid herself after getting into trouble.

Gu Ling, who was diligently planting cherries, was overjoyed when he saw the small green seedlings popping up in the field. He took Baiji to Mianhua Pavilion that same day.

In Gu Ling's private room, a man in white poured wine for her, while Bai Ji was watching at the door.

"Yesterday in the court, the general and Minister Sun of the Ministry of Revenue quarreled again over the issue of military pay."

Gu Ling drank a glass of wine and took a bite of food: "It's not the first time, nothing special, let's talk about something else."

Su Mu filled her glass with wine again, thought for a moment, and said, "The Sixth Princess volunteered to go to the border to provide support, but was scolded by Her Majesty in court. I heard that the Sixth Princess submitted a memorial when she returned that night, and did not attend court today. I guess she was punished."

Gu Ling sneered. It was really strange that people in the palace still had the courage to go to the battlefield. They might not only fail to provide support but also become a hindrance.

Shen Jingyi, in disguise, hurried in. Gu Ling asked, "Are you here for the Sixth Princess? She's still a little short of the mark, so it won't work."

Shen Jingyi, who came to question the culprit, was interrupted and asked in bewilderment: "Ah?"

Su Mu repeated the conversation just now. It was about the issue of establishing a crown prince, and everything else was immediately put out of her mind.

The Sixth Princess was considered courageous and could see the crisis situation at the border. Shen Jingyi didn't understand why Gu Ling rejected it outright.

Gu Ling said: "You think too highly of yourself and are not fit for great use."

Because the Empress disliked military officers, the princes and princesses in the palace did not want to be disliked by the Empress, so they learned martial arts that could barely be used to protect themselves.

She dared to think that someone with such a half-baked level dared to go to the battlefield.

When Shen Jingyi thought of this, she sighed and felt worried!

It is said that the tallest one is chosen from the short ones. The princesses of the Yan Kingdom who are of marriageable age are well raised by Her Majesty the Queen.

average.

General Gu had been keeping a close eye on Gu Ling recently. Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Ling got up and left.

After everyone disappeared, Shen Jingyi finally remembered to ask for Yuan Bai.

Forget it, let’s talk about it next time.

The servant of Mianhua Pavilion brought Yuanbai over. Gu Ling touched Yuanbai's snow-white and soft hair, then rode the horse back home.

"Xiao Hei, go!"

I just don’t know if it’s because Gu Ling and Yuan Bai are not very familiar with each other, why did Yuan Bai go astray while walking?

Her home is not in Minister Shen’s mansion.
