Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Qin Yuan made a move, and Qin Lu, who had been keeping quiet since entering the door, also made a move:

"I send my respects to my father, and my father is safe."

Before Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu could complete the ceremony, Qin Yuan waved his hand, motioning for the two to get up:

"Excuse me, how many times have I said, when it's not necessary, you don't need to stick to that set of rules."

There was a hint of casualness in Qin Yuan's tone of voice, and at the same time, there seemed to be an imperceptible kindness.

And Qin Lu seemed to have gotten used to Qin Yuan's attitude long ago, and straightened up as usual:

"Thank you, Father."

Seeing the interaction between the father and son, Gu Yanshu felt a little doubt in his heart:

Why does he feel that the relationship between Qin Lu and Qin Yuan seems to be pretty good?

Young Master Gu is a typical playboy, he doesn't care about court affairs, so naturally he doesn't know much about the emperor Qin Yuan.

It is also because of this that Gu Yanshu can only make a rough guess about Qin Yuan from the few words of others and some information he has learned during this period.

According to Gu Yanshu's speculation, the father-son relationship between Qin Lu and Qin Yuan is not very good, maybe even a little bad.

The reason for this conclusion is simple:

Qin Lu's performance on the battlefield was obvious to all in Tianqi Kingdom.

Although Qin Lu's current reputation seems to be extremely bad, but if one day in the future, the war resumes, the people of Tianqi Kingdom will trust Qin Lu the most, or even Qin Lu.

Today, at least [-]% of Qi State's military power is in the hands of Qin Lu. At the most exaggerated time, the soldier talisman in Qin Lu's hands can even mobilize [-]% of the soldiers of Tian Qi State.

In addition, there have always been rumors in the market that the reason why Qin Lu can be victorious in all battles and use soldiers like a god is because it has a team that orders and prohibits.

In this team, all of them are good men who are brave and good at fighting. Everyone is like Zhi Ge who has been following Qin Lu all the time.

The most important thing is that this team only recognizes Qin Lu but not Tiger Talisman, and ordinary people can't command it at all.

Although regarding these rumors, Gu Yanshu was in a state of half-belief.

But Gu Yanshu also knew that based on Qin Lu's current military exploits and the elites who have been in the border for so many years, these rumors may be somewhat credible.

Even if there is only one or two points of credibility, it is enough to make the relationship between Qin Lu and Qin Yuan worse.

The father and son of the Tian family are not so much father and son as monarchs and ministers.

For a monarch, the most taboo thing is that the meritorious deeds of the courtiers overshadow the lord.

But I don't see how many famous generals throughout the ages, the final destination was not to be buried in sand, but to die under the fear of the king of the court?

The current Qin Lu is like a snorer lying on Qin Yuan's side couch.

The gift of marriage this time is also an excellent proof of this point.

Otherwise, how to explain, at the critical moment when the voices of the courtiers calling for the establishment of a crown prince are getting louder, Qin Yuan pointed out a man wife to Qin Lu, and she was also a man who was known as a dude?

But looking at Qin Yuan's attitude now, Gu Yanshu suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his guess. The relationship between the father and son did not seem to be as turbulent as he imagined?

Just when Gu Yanshu's mind was turning back and forth, Qin Yuan's eyes had quietly set on Gu Yanshu:

"I heard from Lu'er that you were unwell yesterday? Are you feeling better today?"

Gu Yanshu quickly put away the thoughts in his heart:

"Thank you, father, for your concern. I'm much better now."

Qin Yuan stood up from the desk, walked slowly to the small table used for rest on the other side of the room and sat down, then pointed to the two vacant stools in front of him:

"It's much better, so it's all right? Since you're not feeling well, don't stand up and sit down first."

"Thank you, Father."

The two stools placed in front of Qin Yuan were not high, and taking care of Yanshu's current condition, it was actually somewhat difficult to sit on.

But there is a saying that thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and Gu Yanshu can't just say that he doesn't sit down.

Just when Gu Yanshu was in a dilemma, he felt a force behind him. Following this force, Gu Yanshu sat on the stool with almost no effort.

After sitting down, out of the corner of Gu Yanshu's eyes, he caught sight of the scene where Qin Lu retracted his arm from behind him.

The actions of the two of them naturally did not hide from Qin Yuan's eyes:

"It seems that Lu'er and Princess Li have a good relationship?"

"It's okay." Qin Lu's expression did not change, and even his tone was a little flat.

If ordinary people hear such an answer, they will inevitably feel that Qin Lu's reaction is to refute what Qin Yuan just said.

But those who know Qin Lu will know that it is extremely rare to be able to hear "it's okay" from Qin Lu's mouth.

As Qin Lu's father, Qin Yuan naturally knew something about Qin Lu, so he chuckled immediately:

"It's good to hear a sentence from your mouth, and I'm relieved, I'm afraid that I'm messing up this time..."

Perhaps considering that Gu Yanshu was still there, some things were difficult to say too bluntly, so Qin Yuan only spoke half of the last sentence, and then stopped talking.

But even from the half of what Qin Yuan had said, the people present could understand what he meant.

A trace of unclear emotion flashed in Gu Yanshu's eyes:

Afraid of messing up the mandarin ducks, isn't it already ordered in the end?

Seeing that things are already a foregone conclusion now, I feel that Qin Lu is no longer a threat, so I decided to play the emotional card?

"Father's words are serious." Different from the rich guesses in Gu Yanshu's mind, Qin Lu's tone was as flat as ever.

As for Qin Lu's attitude, Qin Yuan is obviously already used to it, and doesn't mind at all:

"After all, you are old and young, and I also hope that there will be someone around you who knows how to feel hot and cold."

Regarding the matter of Qin Lu's grammy of his wife, although there were only a few faint rumors in Yanjing City, such things have always been without trouble.

Almost everyone in the royal family knew that Qin Lu's fate in marriage was indeed somewhat evil.

When Qin Yuan's first fiancée for Qin Lun died of a sudden illness, Qin Yuan didn't even take this matter to heart, he just thought it was the girl's own carelessness.

But after Qin Yuanlu successively revealed to several courtiers that he wanted to choose a concubine for Qin Lu, and after drawing up a list, there would always be more or less accidents among the ladies on the list.

I don't know when, but Qin Tianjian's people mentioned that Qin's death rate is special, and Qin Yuan knew that his son beat his wife.

At the very beginning, Qin Yuan didn't fully believe Qin Tianjian's words, and even thought it was a trick other sons came up with to fight for the crown prince.

It wasn't until later, after many investigations by Qin Yuan, that no clue was found, and when the ladies who had been in contact with Qin Lu had accidents one after another, Qin Yuan gradually believed in the fact that Qin Lu had robbed his wife.

But no matter what, Qin Yuan didn't want Qin Lu to stay single like this.

One is that the royal family can't afford to lose face, and the other is that what Qin Yuan said just now, he still hopes that Qin Lu can have someone who knows the cold and hot by his side.

So even though he was not very satisfied with Gu Yanshu, but after knowing that Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu were destined to be married, Qin Yuan still made the imperial decree to bestow marriage.

Qin Lu also knew that Qin Yuan hadn't worried much about his marriage in the past two years, and the expression on his face softened slightly:

"It's the minister who made the emperor worry about it."

Qin Lu's rare soft words made a smile appear on Qin Yuan's face:

"Seeing that you and the concubine get along well now, my worries are not in vain."

Gu Yanshu sat at the side, listening to the father and son talking back and forth, and at the same time observing the demeanor and movements of the two.

After a while, Gu Yanshu finally confirmed:

The relationship between the father and son was indeed not as bad as he had guessed at the beginning, and it even looked a little like an ordinary father and son when they got along.

This point can be said to be extremely rare in the royal family.

In other words, the marriage contract between Young Master Gu and Qin Lu was probably just because Qin Lu punished his wife and palace, and Young Master Gu's horoscope happened to match.

At least for Qin Yuan, it should be because of this.

Although Qin Yuan and Qin Lu are father and son, they do not have the slightest similarity in personality. Compared with Qin Lu, Qin Yuan's temperament is more gentle.

Even when talking to Qin Lu, he would ask Gu Yanshu a question or two from time to time, to avoid Gu Yanshu's embarrassment and at the same time alleviate Gu Yanshu's boredom.

At this time, Gu Yanshu finally understood why Gu Yanli dared to persuade him to escape from marriage when there was an imperial decree. After all, Qin Yuan's temperament can indeed be called "benevolent".

"Your majesty, it seems that the imperial concubine is still waiting."

After about a stick of incense, seeing that what Qin Yuan and Qin Lu had said was about the same, Wang Gonggong, who had been standing aside and responsible for refilling tea and water, took a step forward and reminded in a low voice.

At this time, Qin Yuan suddenly thought of the reason why Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu entered the palace today, and immediately said:

"I almost forgot, it's not good to keep the imperial concubine waiting for a long time, then I won't keep you guys, you go first."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

When Qin Lu got up, he did not forget to reach out to support Gu Yanshu.

On the way to the imperial concubine's palace, Gu Yanshu's mind also quickly flashed some basic information about Qin Lu that Gu Yanli sent him before the big wedding.

Although the biological mother of the third prince Qin Lu was beautiful in appearance, her status was not high during her lifetime. She was just a little-known talented person named Wan.

For a woman in the harem, when she gave birth to a prince, it meant she had hope, and she also had the capital that a mother is more expensive than a child.

It's a pity that Wan Cairen didn't wait for the turning point. When the third prince was three years old, he passed away due to an accidental flood in his residence.

In the third year after Wancai's death, the imperial concubine, who was unable to conceive because she damaged her mother's body when giving birth to the second princess, took Qin Lu under her knees to be raised and became Qin Lu's concubine mother.

Gu Yanshu's thoughtful appearance fell into Qin Lu's eyes, but it had another meaning:

"The concubine mother has a gentle temper, she won't make things difficult, don't worry."

"I see, thank you, my lord, for reminding me."

Gu Yanshu pressed back the sentence "I'm not worried" that came to his lips, and smiled at Qin Lu.

Recalling the sedan chair along the way, Qin Lu's support in the emperor's palace, and the reminder just now, the corners of Gu Yanshu's lips curved upward:

I didn't notice it before, this person is still boring.

After a while, the two arrived at the imperial concubine's palace.

The imperial concubine Meng Xiyan can be regarded as one of the women with the highest status in the current Tianqi harem. This point can also be glimpsed from the exquisite furnishings in Meng Xiyan's bedroom.

Originally, Gu Yanshu thought that Qin Lu grew up under Meng Xiyan's knees since he was a child, and because Meng Xiyan was unable to have children, he treated Qin Lu as his own, and the relationship between the two should be relatively close.

However, this was not the case. When Qin Lu got along with Meng Xiyan, he seemed a little polite, so polite that it could even be called cold.

Or maybe because of this, Meng Xiyan did not have any embarrassment for Gu Yanshu.

When Gu Yanshu left the imperial concubine's bedroom, he was even in a trance.

You must know that before the big wedding, Gu Yanli only asked Gu Yanshu about the question of entering the palace to pay his respects. He asked Gu Yanshu how many times, and even made many assumptions for Gu Yanshu.

What if the emperor makes things difficult for him.

What if the imperial concubine is in trouble.

What if we meet the eldest prince and the fourth prince's biological mother, the imperial concubine, in the imperial concubine's palace.

In the end, even none of Gu Yanli's assumptions were useful, and the matter of paying his respects just passed away like this.

It wasn't until Gu Yanshu sat on the sedan chair and was carried out of the palace by the palace people, and was about to get into the carriage, that he realized something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Zhi Ge who was standing not far away:

"Where is the prince?"

That's right, Qin Lu, who had been by Gu Yanshu's side when he greeted him, disappeared at some point.

Regarding this point, Zhi Ge is obviously aware of it:

"The prince said that there are some matters to be dealt with, and asked his subordinates to take the princess back to the mansion first."

When Gu Yanshu heard the words, he nodded slightly to show that he knew, and stopped asking:

"Well...then let's go."
