Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Hearing the pleadings of the guards, the smile on Gu Yanshu's face became even more obvious.

Looking at the bicycle, he opened his mouth and was about to say something.

However, before speaking, as if feeling something, he glanced in the direction where Qin Lu was.

After seeing Qin Lu's figure, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he stood up from the swing, and said softly:

"The prince is back?"

As soon as Gu Yanshu said this, the other guards in the courtyard quickly looked in the direction of the princess' line of sight.

Immediately, he discovered that there was an extra person in the courtyard at some point, and who was it if it wasn't their prince?

Several people in the courtyard were stunned for a while, and after recovering, they quickly bent down:

"This subordinate has met the prince, the prince Wanan."

When saluting, the eyes of everyone were more or less apprehensive:

Before the concubine made a sound, they didn't notice the prince's arrival at all. When did they become so negligent?

Even though Prince Li's mansion is very safe, they shouldn't take it lightly.

It's fine if the person who just came in is the prince, but what about other people?How can they keep the princess safe just now?

The more they thought about it, the colder their hearts became, they didn't even dare to look up at Qin Lu.

They are all servants, and you can almost know what these people think at a glance.

If it was in the past, Qin Lu would definitely not let these people go easily.

But now, looking at his princess's smiling face, Qin Lu knew that her princess was in a good mood now, and he didn't want to spoil her mood with anger.

In the end, he only glanced at the few people on the ground, and said lightly:

"Get up first, you can go to Zhige after a while."

After finishing speaking, Qin Lu turned to look at Gu Yanshu:

"This is the bicycle that the princess told me about on the way back?"

Although Gu Yanshu could feel that the atmosphere at the moment seemed slightly wrong, but in the end, the mood of sharing joy with Qin Lu prevailed, so he didn't go into it, and nodded to Qin Lu directly:

"That's right, the craftsmen in the mansion are more powerful than I imagined, and the effect of the modification is not bad. Do you want to try it, my lord?"

"can."

Qin Lu nodded without thinking, but he didn't act rashly, but asked first:

"How is this thing going to be used?"

Qin Lu saw the scene where the guards under his hand were all folded on the bicycle one by one.

Naturally, I wouldn't be foolish enough to explore by myself now.

Although Gu Yanshu had the idea of ​​digging a hole for his own deer just now, but now his own deer has avoided it, and Gu Yanshu did not force it.

Talked directly to Qin Lu about the skills of this bicycle:

"Actually, it's not difficult, the main thing is to pay attention to the balance of this bicycle..."

As Gu Yanshu said, just like the guard just now, he took a step and rode directly on the bicycle.

Then stepped on the pedals on the car.

It's just different from the guard who walked crookedly for a short distance and then returned home with a feather. When Gu Yanshu kicked his foot, the bicycle slid forward a long way.

Then, Qin Lu watched Ruan Ruan riding a bicycle around the courtyard for a long time.

It was also after the cement was researched and the demand for dams and cement roads outside was not so tight, Gu Yanshu organized people to pave the ground of the main courtyard of the Wangfu with cement, otherwise Gu Yanshu must not let Gu Yanshu ride on the road of the main courtyard of the Wangfu. so smooth.

After going around the courtyard, Gu Yanshu stopped in front of Qin Lu on his bicycle:

"That's it, do you want to try, my lord?"

With the lessons learned from several guards, when Gu Yanshu was riding a bicycle just now, Qin Lu paid special attention to Gu Yanshu's movements and skills.

Now Qin Lu has roughly mastered the method of riding a bicycle.

So this time, Qin Lu did not refuse again:

"You can try."

"it is good!"

Gu Yanshu stepped off the bicycle directly, pushed the bicycle into Qin Lu's hands, and at the same time did not forget to emphasize in a low voice:

"My lord is not allowed to use lightness kung fu to assist!"

"will not."

Qin Lu glanced at Gu Yanshu first, then lowered his head and picked up the bicycle in his hand.

The craftsmen in the palace are not bad in skills, and they are all used to fine work.

The bicycle was also made very delicate and meticulous by them, and the frame was even painted with carvings.

After taking a look at it for a while, Qin Lu decided to ride on it for a try.

It's just that a bicycle looks simple, but after experiencing it personally and riding it for a try, I realized that it is not as simple as imagined.

Even though Qin Lu thought he had seen clearly the skills of his concubine when she was riding a bicycle, he failed the first time.

If it were someone else, the guards might have started laughing aloud.

However, the one who failed at this moment was their lord, and the guards only took a few extra glances, and didn't dare to say a word.

Qin Lu didn't take this failure seriously.

Wei Wei recalled the feeling when she just lost her balance, and after thinking for a moment in her heart, she started the second attempt.

This time, Qin Lu rode the bicycle for a long time without any trouble.

Although it was not as smooth as Gu Yanshu when turning, it was much better than the guards under him who tried several times but still failed.

Even Gu Yanshu couldn't help admiring in a low voice when he saw this scene:

"My lord is amazing!"

You must know that when Gu Yanshu learned to ride a bicycle in his previous life, he failed several times before he learned it.

Nowadays, Qi's skills are not as good as those of later generations. Even though Gu Yanshu can ride a bicycle, he is still a little unfamiliar with the ancient version of the bicycle.

In the small courtyard, I also tried two or three times before I gradually mastered the skills.

As a result, Qin Lu only failed once, and he mastered the skills. You must know that his Xiaolu has never seen a bicycle before.

Hearing his princess's praise suddenly, Qin Lu's lips curled up first, and then he pretended to be calm and replied:

"Fortunately, it's actually not that difficult."

These words fell into the ears of several guards, and it can be said that they were full of ridicule:

What do you mean it's not difficult?

Just now they fiddled with it for nearly half an hour, but no one learned it. How come it is not difficult to get to the prince?

That is to say, the person who said this, Qin Lu, might have already begun to attack the bodyguards if it were another person.

The few guards were immersed in the sadness of "the huge difference between people", and did not notice the strangeness of their prince.

Gu Yanshu, on the other hand, saw Qin Lu's slightly reddened ears and slightly uncomfortable expression at a glance, what did he not understand immediately?

My little deer is starting to be shy again.

But thinking of the guards in the courtyard, Gu Yanshu didn't bother to dismantle them. He only looked down at the bicycle, and then raised his head and asked Qin Lu:

"What does your lord think of this thing?"

Hearing this, Qin Lu's expression became slightly serious, and after thinking for a while, he gave the answer:

"Although it is not as fast and labor-saving as a horse, it is enough if it is only used within the city."

The craftsmanship of Tianqi craftsmen is limited, and it is a surprise to be able to make this bicycle to this extent.

Although it is relatively more laborious to use than the bicycles of later generations, as Qin Lu said, it is enough to use it as a means of transportation in the city.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu quickly made a decision:

"Then I want the craftsmen to make a batch of bicycles to test the waters, and then consider whether to increase production according to the market reaction."

"It's fine for the princess to decide."

Qin Lu has always been ignorant of business affairs, so naturally he never intervenes.

Now that he heard about Gu Yanshu's arrangement, he just nodded and expressed his support.

At this time, Gu Yanshu brought the topic back to the bicycle in their hands:

"Will the prince want to ride again?"

Although bicycles are new, they are not very attractive to Qin Lu.

Originally, Qin Lu wanted to refuse directly, but after seeing the expectation in Gu Yanshu's eyes, he still nodded:

"can."

Sure enough, after getting this answer, Gu Yanshu's eyes lit up suddenly, and hurriedly urged in a low voice:

"Hurry up! Ride two more laps!"

Although he didn't know why his princess had such a reaction, Qin Lu got on the bicycle in his hand at a glance.

However, not long after he had just ridden forward, he heard the voice of his own princess from behind:

"My lord, slow down."

Qin Lu used to follow Gu Yanshu most of the time, but now that he heard Gu Yanshu's voice, his body reacted even faster than his brain.

Almost instantly, the force on Qin Lu's pedals became much lighter.

Before Qin Lu recovered his senses, he felt a gust of wind behind him, accompanied by the voice of his princess, "Prince, calm down", and then Qin Lu felt the weight on the bicycle increased a little, and a burst of wind came from behind him. Warm to the touch.

Almost without looking back, Qin Lu knew that his concubine jumped onto the bicycle while he was slowing down just now.

At this time, Qin Lu immediately thought of a small frame made on the rear wheel of the bicycle.

When Qin Lu saw it just now, he didn't know what the little shelf was for, but now he finally realized it.

At this time, Qin Lu heard the voice of his princess again:

"Hurry up, my lord, speed up!"

"Okay." Qin Lu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and after replying in a low voice, he directly increased the strength on his feet.

After a while, the bicycle slid forward for a long distance.

Following Qin Lu's movements, Gu Yanshu wrapped his hands around Qin Lu's waist, hugged him tightly, and urged in a low voice:

"I think it can be faster!"

Before this, how could Qin Lu think that riding a bicycle would have such benefits?

Immediately without thinking about it, he followed Gu Yanshu's intention and sped up the movement of his feet. The pedals of a bicycle were almost turned into hot wheels by Qin Lu.

As for the other guards in the courtyard, they heard the urging and laughing sounds of their own princess, and even the two sentences of "fight!" mixed in after they got excited, and saw that their prince was not only not angry, but even showed a full expression. The appearance of the smile on his face suddenly became a trance after another:

Although they already knew that the two masters in the mansion had a very good relationship, isn't it a little too much to be so good?

Also, with a bicycle, you can play so many tricks?

They shouldn't be in the yard now, they should be lying on the courtyard wall!

Gu Yanshu doesn't care what the people under his hands are thinking, he only knows that he is in a good mood now.

Once a young couple rode a bicycle together, but it was one of the must-have performances for campus romance.

When Gu Yanshu was in school, he didn't meet anyone he liked, so naturally he never experienced such sweetness.

Sitting on the back of Qin Lu's car now, it can be regarded as fulfilling the little regret in his heart.

Qin Lu and Gu Yanshu are not naive people, even if they are naive, they will only be a flash in the pan.

After laughing and making noise for a while, Gu Yanshu jumped down from the back seat even though he was a little unsure.

When Gu Yanshu left, Qin Lu immediately lost interest in continuing, so he stopped.

At this time, Gu Yanshu seemed to have finally thought of the few subordinates who were looking at him eagerly.

With a wave of his hand, he finally agreed to take the bicycles to study and study.

Several guards looked at their princess, then at their prince, turned their heads and thanked their princess, then stepped forward, took their bicycles, and left the main courtyard.

After the audience in the courtyard dispersed and the main courtyard returned to calm, Gu Yanshu looked up at Qin Lu:

"My lord, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Qin Lu was silent for a moment, and then asked:

"Did the princess see it?"

"Ah."

Gu Yanshu nodded slightly.

In fact, ever since Qin Lu came back, Gu Yanshu had already seen that his little deer's face was not quite right.

Thinking about Qin Lu just coming out of the palace, Gu Yanshu already had a guess in his mind.

Left and right are just a few possibilities.

However, according to the understanding of Qin Lu in the care of Yanshu, it can also be seen that the matter is not out of control.

That's why Gu Yanshu deliberately asked Qin Lu to try the bicycle later, just to let his little deer relax a little.

Qin Lu didn't answer Gu Yanshu's question immediately, but took his princess's hand first, walked into the study slowly, and then asked:

"My concubine has done so many things for this king before, so she must want this king to inherit the throne of my father, right?"

This is the tacit understanding between Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu.

Before that, although the two had never communicated about the throne and the establishment of the crown prince, they could understand each other's inner thoughts.

And after realizing that Qin Lu's thoughts had changed, although Gu Yanshu really wanted to have an open and honest chat with Qin Lu about this issue, he didn't expect that his little deer just went to the palace for a trip, and when he came back, he opened his mouth. Such a straightforward question.

Now that this topic has started, it is not impossible to talk about it.

Thinking about it, Gu Yanshu nodded without thinking:

"Indeed, in the current situation of the prince, succession is undoubtedly the best choice."

Gu Yanshu, who was sorting out his thoughts, didn't notice that the moment his little deer uttered these words, the light in his eyes dimmed a lot.

Just after he came out of the palace, Qin Lu didn't regret every word or sentence he uttered in the palace.

But when he returned to the palace and saw Gu Yanshu and the bicycle, Qin Lu realized that what he said and did in the palace seemed to have made his princess' efforts in the past few days go to waste.

A sense of shameless face suddenly rose in my heart.

Now that I hear Gu Yanshu's affirmative answer, the thoughts in my heart are even worse:

His family Ruanruan wanted him to succeed to the throne, but just now he personally cut off his own way in front of his father.

How should he speak these words to his Ruanruan?

However, before Qin Lu opened his mouth, he heard the following sentence from Gu Yanshu:

"But from my personal point of view, I don't really hope that the prince can reach that position."

"what?"

The surprise came too fast, even Qin Lu couldn't react for a while.

"Let's just assume that I am selfish. In my heart, being an emperor is not as glamorous as it seems to outsiders."

Now that the conversation has reached this point, Gu Yanshu decided to talk about this issue to the bottom of it all at once.

Smiling slightly, he told Qin Lu about the thoughts in his heart when he was in Yizhou.

Not only heirs, but also the emperor's fatigue and responsibilities, etc.:

"It is said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. The burden of the entire country is not something that an ordinary person can bear."

"I hope my little deer can always be happy. If he likes the battlefield, he only needs to worry about fighting, instead of facing the turmoil and balance in the court."

Speaking of this, Gu Yanshu couldn't help laughing in a low voice, and there was a hint of complexity in the laughter:

"But this is just my own idea. The most important thing is to see the prince. Maybe...even the prince can't make the decision."

Unhappy things in the world, ten out of ten.

The current situation of Prince Li's Mansion, as far as the matter of the throne, is not what Gu Yanshu thinks.

But relatively speaking, Gu Yanshu still felt that he was luckier than most people.

Although he was weak in his previous life, even in the last days, he did not suffer too much, and in terms of food and clothing, he was enough to outshine others.

In Tianqi, such a feudal place, he even got a bad hand at the beginning of the game.

The unfavored son of a down-and-out family even wants to marry another man as his wife.

But all the unluckiness seemed to come to an abrupt end when he saw Qin Lu.

After getting married, Qin Lu gave him enough respect, understanding, trust and support to allow him to do what he wanted to do.

Now, Gu Yanshu is naturally willing to treat his own deer with the same attitude.

Just after Gu Yanshu finished expressing his point of view, the look in Qin Lu's eyes, which had been lost just now, returned to his beautiful eyes in an instant:

"But the current situation of Prince Li's Mansion, if this king does not succeed, I am afraid life will not be easy in the future."

"I know."

Gu Yanshu glanced at Qin Lu, and replied without thinking:

"But it's not going to be sad."

Afterwards, Gu Yanshu shared his plan with Qin Lu.

On the way back to Beijing, although Gu Yanshu was visiting the mountains and rivers with his own deer, he was not idle.

After directly perfecting his own business blueprint, he even perfected the idea of ​​preserving Prince Li's Mansion.

If Qin Lu had no intention of succeeding to the throne, he could find a chance to return the soldier talisman after returning to Beijing.

Right now, Qin Lu is not relying on that one soldier talisman to order the three armies.

It is said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, and Gu Yanshu looked at the face of the current emperor, and he did not look like a person who would kill a donkey.

At that time, Qin Lu returned the soldier talisman, which would not only reassure the emperor, but also the hearts of several princes, and his rights in the three armies would not be compromised.

They look good on the outside.

On the way back to Beijing, Gu Yanshu also asked a few imperial physicians on the sidelines, and got a definite answer.

Now that the emperor's body is strong, he must be able to sit on the throne for several years.

After a few years, if Tianqi's border is not peaceful, the soldier talisman will naturally return to Qin Lu's hands. Whether it is the present or the new emperor, they can understand the importance of their own deer, so naturally they dare not take it lightly.

If the border of Tianqi is peaceful, the soldier talisman will always be in the hands of the emperor. After a few years, the new emperor will definitely relax a little, and the danger index of his own deer will plummet.

At that time, his business empire had already been established. By then, wouldn't the sky be high and the birds could fly?

If it was said that Qin Lu was still thinking about the truth and falsehood of Gu Yanshu's statement that he did not want him to succeed to the throne just now, but now that he heard all the plans of his family's Ruanruan, there was no doubt at all.

If he hadn't thought about this question in his heart, how could his Ruanruan have thought of so many retreats in such a short period of time?

The big stone in his heart fell to the ground, Qin Lu looked into the eyes of his princess, and couldn't help but smile a little:

"In the next few years, the princess will have to work hard to turn the idea into reality."

"what?"

Originally, Gu Yanshu was still talking about his plan, and at the same time, he was still thinking about whether there was anything that could be improved.

Hearing Qin Lu's words suddenly, he didn't even realize the meaning for a while.

"Just now when the king entered the palace, the royal father was furious. The royal father just told the king that he would not be allowed to enter the palace without a summons in the future. He should have completely annoyed the king."

Thinking of the great remarks that his princess just said, Qin Lu not only did not feel heavy when he said these words at the moment, but even felt a little joy in his heart:

"So for the safety of the king, in the next few years, I can only work hard for the princess."

"Why did you annoy the emperor for no reason?"

Now Gu Yanshu couldn't care about the plans in his heart, so he asked in a low voice.

One's own people understand by themselves.

As far as Qin Lu's temperament is concerned, Gu Yanshu is very clear about it.

Although he is not good at talking, his words are definitely considered cautious.

Such a temperament may not be easy to be liked by others, but it will never offend others easily.

Why is it that now it's "not allowed to enter the palace without summons"?

For a prince, Gu Yanshu naturally knows what such punishment means.

If nothing else happened in the middle, Gu Yanshu would never believe it.

However, Qin Lu, who always knew everything about Gu Yanshu and talked endlessly, became vague this time, and only reluctantly gave an answer:

"Father has been in a bad mood recently, and this king made a slip of the tongue when answering Father's question, and that's what happened in the end."

Although Gu Yanshu felt that this answer was very forced, when he saw the embarrassment on his little deer's face, he took it as that this person didn't want to lose face in front of him.

In the end, I didn't ask any more questions, just pretending that I didn't hear it, and directly changed the topic:

"Since that's the case, I'll work harder in the next few years!"

After getting the exact answer, the corners of Qin Lu's lips could not help but hook upwards again, he raised his hand and pulled him into his arms, sighing with emotion in a low voice:

"It's still the princess who loves the king."

"It's good that the prince knows!"

Gu Yanshu, who has always been mature and prudent, couldn't help being arrogant at this moment, and responded with a smug tone.

Gu Yanshu, who was embraced by Qin Lu, didn't notice that his little deer looked relieved at the moment, and only whispered about his plan with his own little deer.

But after all, the paper could not contain the anger. After Qin Lu returned to Beijing, he was called into the palace. When he became the emperor, he became very angry. The various reasons and events in it naturally couldn't help people to explore.

The emperor, who had always been strictly guarded against what happened in the imperial study room, seemed to have not noticed anything this time, and indulged in the investigation of people from all directions.

In a short time, the content of the conversation between Qin Lu and the emperor spread to the ears of nobles in the entire capital.
