After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

From New Year's Eve to the first day of the Yuan Dynasty on the fifteenth day of the first month, according to the state system of the Zhou Dynasty, it was a time for the whole country to be in peace, and the whole dynasty rested for fifteen days except for the necessary defense of the imperial city.

Everywhere in the palace is full of rare leisure and relaxation, only Han Mochu still doesn't let up on Gu Xiu's homework.

In addition to subtracting two temporary posts per day, everything else is as usual.

Gu Xiu was not good at rest and had a restless temperament. Han Mochu was like this, so he didn't have any resentment.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Princess Qingzhao came back from outside the palace, greeted King Gu Hong, and then went straight to Guiyun Palace.

"Chi'er, do you miss Eldest Sister?"

Hearing Princess Qingzhao's brisk and melodious voice outside the door, Han Mochu neatly pressed the ruler under the pile of books, Gu Xiu unhurriedly put on the scattered outer robe, and closed the strategies on the table, Quickly and Han Mochu put on a leisurely and comfortable state during the festival.

Sure enough, Gu Jin didn't talk a lot this time, as soon as they met, they were close siblings, and Han Mochu also didn't listen to a lot of scolding.

This time, Gu Jin brought back to Gu Xiu a pair of crow-blue cotton boots embroidered with brocade clouds, and a pine-colored food box.

"The queen mother misses you very much in the temple." Gu Jin put the cotton boots in front of Gu Xiu: "Try to see if they fit."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

Gu Xiu lowered his head and took off his original soap boots, and put the cotton boots on his feet.The cotton boots are not only suitable in size, but also have light and soft soles and thick silk cotton. After wearing them indoors for a while, they feel hot all over their body and have to take them off to the side again.

"The queen mother is still amazing. She has never seen the seventh brother and can do it so well." Gu Jin sipped a sip of fragrant tea and sighed: "Oh, I have been chasing the robes for you for a few months, and they are not as good as yours." Grow fast."

Gu Jinqi opened the square food box, which contained ten exquisite and simple plain dishes, and said with a smile, "I didn't bring anything with Master Han in this rush. It stands to reason that apart from the reward from the emperor, Master Han has worked so hard to educate you." Seventh brother, this palace should also give you some gifts of thanks, today's snacks can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

"Princess, you are too serious. This is the responsibility of an official." Han Mochu replied with a smile, and reached out to take a piece of bergamot.

"Don't talk about your own responsibilities. There is no one in my seventh brother's palace. You have to do everything by yourself. You don't get double pay. Why don't you say thank you?"

"The minister would like to thank you. In the future, I will teach and take care of His Highness the Seventh Prince with all my heart."

"By the way, does Young Master Han know about Concubine He Gui?" Gu Jin put down the teacup in his hand, remembering the rumors she heard on the way back to the palace.After the New Year's Eve banquet, that noble concubine of the He family was sent to the cold palace early in the morning.

In Gu Jin's impression, King Gu Hong was the most believer in ghosts and gods, so he never dealt with anyone during festivals.There must be a reason for her being so vigorous and resolute this time, but she was not present at the palace banquet, so she had to ask Han Mochu.

"I've heard about it, but it's a concubine's business. Even though I'm a courtier, I shouldn't ask about it." Han Mochu took the teapot and refilled Gu Xiu's cup.

Empress Meng's craftsmanship suits Gu Xiu's taste at first glance, the child ate a lot for breakfast, and now he still has such an appetite, it can be seen that the snacks are delicious.

"What did she do at the palace banquet?" Gu Jin asked.

Han Mochu thought for a while, and then said, "I didn't do anything except be courteous to His Highness the Seventh Highness."

"I know that she has always wanted to admit the seventh brother under her knees, but being courteous is not a serious crime, right?" Gu Jin shrugged indifferently.

"This, I don't know." Han Mochu said with a warm smile: "If Her Royal Highness is interested, you can ask the maids and eunuchs serving at the banquet, and those who are small in favor will know the reason."

In fact, Han Mochu deliberately asked the reason since the day the woman was sent to the cold palace.It was that noble concubine who lost a piece of Luopa during the banquet, and was picked up by Mr. Nan Xi, who almost fainted after smelling it.Then Fang Luopa was handed over to the imperial doctor overnight for examination.

After inspection, it was found that there was a small amount of "Lost Soul Powder" on Fang Luopa.

"Shuhun San" is an extremely base and strong drug used by folk kidnappers, also known as "Guaiziling".Just a little bit can make children obey orders and get close, but children who smell the medicine will fall into the root of the disease, and then become stupid, like walking dead.

Han Mochu didn't care too much about He's woman who was crazy about children, what he cared about was why Mr. Nanxi, who should never have had any contact with him and Gu Xiu, came to remind him rashly that day. In the end, he used his own body to lure the king to dispose of the He family.

Han Mochu has always kept a respectful distance from those who can't distinguish between friends and enemies, but now he can't even think about it.

It is the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.It was the busiest day of the year in the Great Zhou Palace. In order to show the joy of the king and his subjects, on that day, all the officials and family members gathered in the imperial garden to enjoy the first month together.There will be a rare fireworks display in the palace, and there will be flower boats in the imperial lake to add to the fun.There are not only singing and dancing, but also acrobatics, such excitement.There are also gambling games such as guessing lantern riddles, throwing pots, and poems, guessing flower names, etc.

On that day, everyone in the palace does not need to wear court clothes, do not have to perform big salutes, do not rank in order, and do not have to be restrained in drinking. If they are too drunk, they will be taken care of by a special imperial doctor.The running water mat will continue forever, all night long, all night without sleep.After that day, all officials were restored to power, and a new era began.

On the fifteenth day, Gu Jin came early to pull Gu Xiu out.

"Sister, isn't it a night banquet?" Gu Xiu who was dragged from the pile of books was still a little confused, so he was dragged away by Gu Jin and dragged into the yard.

"What do you know? There are so many people today, if you don't get there earlier, you won't be able to squeeze in the front row to see the flower boats." Gu Jin pulled Gu Xiu and walked out, but he didn't forget to turn around and shout: "Young Master Han, Hurry up and change your clothes, there is no time for a banquet today."

When Gu Jin dragged Gu Xiu to the Imperial Garden, there were indeed many people gathered in the Imperial Garden. Since the emperor was away, everyone was very at ease. Some were feeding fish by the Imperial Lake, and some gathered in twos and threes to talk.A lot of ladies and ladies from central Beijing also arrived, and when they saw Gu Jin coming, they all came forward to salute and speak one by one.

Gu Jin and his younger brother couldn't stay among those daughters for too long.At this time, Han Mochu also arrived in the imperial garden.

Han Mochu, who was not in official uniform, had his hair tied in a jade crown, and he was wearing a light blue brocade robe, with an ermine cape that was rewarded by the king for the year on his shoulders.The whole person is unparalleled in style and dignified in appearance.

Although there were many honorable youths who entered the palace to have a feast, none of them could hide Han Mochu's sharpness.

As Han Mochu got closer and closer, it instantly aroused whispers from the girls in the boudoir, and some of them even blushed on the spot.

"Master Han came just in time, I have something to say to them, please take my seventh brother for a stroll." Gu Jin smiled and handed Gu Xiu's hand to Han Mochu.

"Yes, I will take your Highness to the male guest's table." Han Mo Chu warmly smiled and took Gu Xiu's hand, pulling Gu Xiu out of the group of daughters.

After walking not far away, Gu Xiu retracted the hand held by Han Mochu, stood where he was and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness? What's wrong with you?"

"I'm not used to the smell of makeup." Gu Xiu rubbed his nose and walked forward on his own: "I don't like places with many people either."

Han Mochu walked up to Gu Xiu, pointed to the place where the princes gathered not far away, and said in a warm voice: "Your Highness, although you don't like it, you should still go and talk to those princes and clans. You can't always stay in a secluded place. As time goes by, Your Highness will get used to being ignored by others, and it is not a good thing to be too arrogant."

"But." Gu Xiu frowned and looked at those brothers who were obviously only superficial, and those royal family members who were not familiar with him at all, and hesitated for a while.

"It's nothing to worry about. Your Highness isn't even afraid of giant bears. Are you still afraid of talking to people?" Han Mochu smiled and stroked Gu Xiu's hair: "If Your Highness can do it today, then I will be able to fight with His Highness tomorrow." The sand table for the formation, His Highness will no longer have to talk about wars on paper in the future."

The temptation of the sand table made Gu Xiu's frown gradually loosen, and he looked at Han Mochu solemnly: "Then, it's a deal."

Han Mochu smiled and raised one of Gu Xiu's little fingers and gently tugged: "It's a deal."

Han Mochu stood where he was, watching the child walk away and calmly join the princes and relatives, he couldn't help but smile happily.

This wolf cub who came back from the Northern Wilderness still went to join the wolves in the palace.

"Master Han, you came early today." A half-languid male voice sounded from behind Han Mochu.

Han Mochu turned his head in response, and it really was that Young Master Nan Xi.

Today's Mr. Nanxi still does not change his previous flamboyant attire, he is dressed in a red cloud-like fox fur, and the pearl on the crown is bigger than the eyeball.

"Master Nanxi? Don't you need to accompany me today?"

"No need at the moment, Your Majesty is discussing with Lord Han and the others about opening the dynasty tomorrow." Nan Xi smiled as she spoke, "Master Han? It's another Lord Han. Are you from the same family?"

"Mr. Nan Xi was just joking. I was born in a reckless place. How can I qualify as the prime minister's mansion?" Han Mochu was as frank and natural as ever, even if what the person said hit his weak spot.

"What's wrong with the Prime Minister's Mansion? From my point of view, with Master Han's ability, it will be a matter of time before you become the third prince. It just depends on which minister you want to be your Majesty's minister." Nan Xi's words hit the nail on the head. If it was someone else, he would have stood up to argue with him.

Han Mochu squinted slightly, showing an extremely warm smile: "Yes, is there any young master who doesn't want to be a master?"

"Young master Han is quite straightforward. Are you not afraid that I will tell His Majesty in the future?"

"If you want to say it, you can just say it." Han Mochu's smile became more and more beautiful, and his whole body seemed to be glowing under the warm afternoon sun: "But you have to know that if you can serve the king with sex, you can also serve me."

Han Mochu was brought up by Mr. Yi Ji since he was a child, and he knows how to use his own strengths to achieve his goals, even if it would be shameless.

"Hehehe, Master Han really deserves to be Mr. Yi Ji's master, and his words are really unexpected." Nan Xi covered her lips and smiled.

"You're also unexpected." Han Mochu immediately restrained his unfathomable smile, and returned to his usual crooked eyes: "Thank you for what happened that day."

"It's very useless." Nan Xi adjusted the fox fur on her body: "It was her own wrong idea, and she hit it right under my nose. I always do things according to my heart, and never ask what is right Wrong. So Young Master Han doesn't need to treat me as a friend after this one time." Nan Xi suddenly approached Han Mochu: "Don't forget, I'm still afraid that one day you'll lose my love because of your thoughts."

*******

The lights are on, and the banquet begins.

There are not so many rules for the palace banquet today, the old eunuch Cui Shang passed a word to start the banquet, and a carnival in the palace kicked off.

Yin Jiangli of Jingzhao Mansion finally found another chance to drink three altars with Han Mochu.Because the opportunity was so rare, the Lord Fuyin mustered his energy from the very beginning, poured four or five cups heartily, and then successfully slid under the table.

The little eunuchs who were taken aback took him to a nearby prepared palace to rest and sober up.

Han Mochu, who had no company to accompany him, found a good place by himself to enjoy the flower boats on Yuhu Lake.

The flower boats are colorful and lively, with people singing and dancing, juggling, and throwing circles and spitting fire, making people dizzy to watch.

Thinking about it, he hadn't seen Gu Xiu for almost three hours.I don't know how the little wolf cub got along among those brothers.

Right now, the flow of people is chaotic, and there are nobles having banquets everywhere.Han Mochu looked around, but did not see Gu Xiu.

At this time, Gu Xiu was actually betting with several princes of similar age not far behind Han Mochu's back.

This time the head of the lottery is a white elephant palace lantern. The palace lantern is not an ordinary bamboo locust paper body, but made of silk, with auspicious and blessed patterns drawn on it. The white elephant's eyes are inlaid with pearls, and two fan-shaped big ears It can also move with people, even in this palace, it is rare and beautiful.

Gu Xiu has always been very good at things like this, and he has already won a lot in a few games.

It's not that Gu Xiu likes betting, he just likes to win those prizes.As a prince who has no mother, no favor, and no achievements, Gu Xiu has always been poor. He has never had anything too good to give to those who are close to him.

Such as Princess Qingzhao, such as Han Mochu.

Gu Xiu thought that since it was a lottery, then there is no need to be polite, and the lottery that suits his heart will be won.

The eldest sister once mentioned to him that she likes a Siamese white elephant in the zoo, but unfortunately died of illness the year before last.The white elephant palace lantern in front of me is exquisite and lovely, the elder sister will definitely like it.

With Gu Xiu on the field, there was no suspense about the outcome.

"Seventh Brother's throwing pot is really good, we are all ashamed of ourselves." Gu Yan patted Gu Xiu's shoulder with a smile.

Gu Xiu tried to pull the corners of his mouth, wanting to give Gu Yan a smile back.But Gu Xiu's tough and resolute face seemed to be born unable to smile, after trying for a while, he finally returned Gu Yan's expression of silence.

With a sullen face, Gu Xiu stretched out his hand to pick up the lamp on the shelf where the lottery heads were placed, when someone grabbed his sleeve suddenly.

Turning around, he saw that it was the sixth prince, Gu You.

The sixth prince, Gu You, was three months older than Gu Xiu, but he was half a head shorter than Gu Xiu. Under the perennial pampering and pampering of his biological mother, Concubine Li, Gu You's rosy face was covered with unabated baby fat.

With a puffy face, Gu You tugged on Gu Xiu's sleeve, and said confidently, "Hey, wolf cub, put it down, I want this palace lantern!"

"Why?" Gu Xiu coldly shook Gu You's hand away.

"Why?! How much have you won? Give it to me!" Gu You stretched out his hand to reach for it, but Gu Xiu dodged it.

"Sixth Brother, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. What are you doing?" Gu Yan stepped forward with a frown, and stopped Gu You aside: "Also, you want to be called Seventh Brother, what is a wolf cub?"

"He came from a barbaric land, he is a wolf cub! Besides, I lost him just now! What is it, I am willing to bet!" Gu You pushed Gu Yan away, and then grabbed Gu Xiu's arm: "Wolf cub , you immediately put down this lamp for me! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"

"Sixth brother, stop making trouble, third brother, can this monkey womb lantern work for you?" The third prince Gu Shen whispered while sitting on the cart beside him.

Gu Shen, who is already 16 years old, has not participated in politics before, not only because of his weak body, but also because he is really mediocre and cowardly, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a waste.

"I don't want your broken lamp, I want this white elephant." The sixth prince, Gu You, roared while gnashing his teeth, beating Gu Xiu's body with his small fists.

Finally getting tired of beating Gu Xiu, he lightly raised his hand and pushed Gu You's forehead, and Gu You sat down on the ground.

Gu You, who fell on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and burst into tears instantly: "Gu Xiu! You hit me! I want my father to beat you to death!"

I remember that when Gu Xiu first entered the palace, it was because he wanted to snatch the old bow that Gu Xiu brought from Beihuang, Gu Xiu twisted off one of his arms.King Gu Hong issued an order to draw Gu Xiu fifty canes.

It's only been a year now, and Gu Xiu's memory of the swelling, pain and scars left by those vines is still fresh.

But he still didn't want to give in, Gu Xiu's temperament was originally like this, he would rather bend than bend.

"Sixth brother, stop making trouble, don't you want to see what day it is today?" Gu Yan was so disturbed by Gu You's crying that he had a headache and could not help but scold him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Gu You not only did not restrain himself, but intensified it.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Its appearance and destructive power are very similar to the black bear on the Longevity Festival.

The movement of Gu You smashing things finally overwhelmed the music and human voices, drawing everyone's attention.

Hearing the noise, Han Mochu's first thought was that something happened to Gu Xiu, he squeezed through the crowd and found that it was indeed the case.

Gu Xiu was standing aside with a palace lantern in his hand, and there was a bratty kid lying on the ground.

Before he had time to ask Gu Xiusuo what was the matter, he saw King Gu Hong walking slowly, and Concubine Li who heard her son crying.

When Gu You saw his parents coming, he got up from the ground and plunged into the arms of King Gu Hong: "Father, that wolf cub hit me! He hit me again! Hurry up and help the emperor beat him to death."

Concubine Li immediately pulled her son into her arms and checked Gu You's body repeatedly: "My son, how is it? Where is the injury? Didn't Your Majesty invite famous teachers? Why is the Seventh Prince still so barbaric?" ? You beat me up."

"Enough." Gu Hong stopped, stifling the crying of both mother and son: "Yan'er, tell me, what happened just now?"

Gu Yan then explained in detail how Gu You, the sixth prince, had a dispute with Gu Xiu, and how Gu Xiu pushed him down in a hurry.Even Gu Shen, who was on the wheeled cart beside him, also nodded.

"You're picking quarrels and provoking trouble again. How old are you now? Are you still so coquettish and self-willed? Don't you look at the occasion when you start messing around?" Gu Hong's voice was deep and serious, and Gu You was so frightened that he buried his head in the arms of his mother and concubine and sobbed.

"Well, father and son are wrong, son is wrong, but Gu Xiu has won so much, I just ask him for something, if he gives it to me for the first time, son will not Something happened." Gu You pitifully tugged on Gu Hong's sleeve.

Gu Hong glanced at the person, and reached out to grab the palace lantern in Gu Xiu's hand, but Gu Xiu took a step back and said in a deep voice, "Father, I don't want to let you."

Looking at Gu Xiu's cold face and those indifferent eyes, Gu Hong's temper instantly went to the top of his head.Raising his hand, he slapped Gu Xiu: "Disobedience to your father, you are an unvirtuous and unfilial thing."

Gu Hong slapped heavily with his temper, and Gu Xiu's cheeks quickly turned from white to red and swollen with slap marks, and a fishy sweetness came out of his mouth.

Gu Hong's resounding slap made everyone in the audience stunned.Gu Hong, who came back to his senses, was also a little surprised, why did he get that slap just now.There is no right or wrong in this matter, no matter how you look at it, Gu Xiu should not be punished.Could it be that he has really become the mediocre gentleman in the rumors, and has he become so dizzy?

He really doesn't like Gu Xiu, he doesn't like his stubborn temper, he doesn't like him who is always unyielding, neither humble nor overbearing.He has no respect for his father.The most important thing is that every time he sees this child, he always thinks of the child's mother.Thinking of the invincible general Yun Lie, thinking of all the past before he took the throne.

But today's matter, he is indeed too unfair.

Gu Hong understands that he is wrong, but he is the emperor, the emperor will not make mistakes, even if there are mistakes, he must make mistakes.

"Since the two of you are so ignorant of brotherly respect, I think you don't want to live here for fun. Why don't you kneel down in Fengxian Hall and think about your mistakes until tomorrow morning. There are also those who follow the waiters. Everyone will be punished with thirty sticks, and they will be fined to serve in the Ye Court." Gu Hong left without saying a word, avoiding the crowd in a hurry.

Gu Youlai cried and acted in his mother's arms, and was finally dragged away by two eunuchs.

Gu Xiu didn't say much, just put the palace lantern in Han Mochu's hand, and said in a low voice, "This one, give it to elder sister."

Gu Xiu lowered his head with a sullen face, Han Mochu couldn't see his expression clearly.I don't know if this wronged child will cry.

With the back of Gu Xiu leaving, Han Mochu's heart suddenly tightened, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, the joints and veins on the back of his hands were highlighted.

This was the first time Gu Xiu was punished by the emperor in front of him.

There is still no fair reason for this.Even if the king's heart is unpredictable, it shouldn't be such a blatant indifference and harsh criticism.In public, isn't Gu Xiu a human being?Didn't Gu Xiu feel it?As a king and as a father, Gu Hong doesn't even know the basics of right and wrong?

He regretted not holding Gu Xiu's hand and staying by his side all the time.

Han Mochu finally understood that Gu Xiu's forbearance and maturity were all due to these injustices.His situation prevented him from ever being able to cry and act like a spoiled child at the slightest displeasure like the sixth prince Gu You.

He was born in a barren land where there was not enough to eat since he was a child, and he carried the hopes of his mother and clansmen on his body, and the blood that could conquer the world flowed in his veins.

Gu Xiu's biological mother raised Gu Xiu very well, so that Gu Xiu never complained because of fatigue, never flinched because of difficulties, and never bowed his head because of criticism.

In fact, think about it, Gu Xiu is just a 13-year-old boy.There is hardly any reckless and indulgent young people can be seen in the whole body.All self-discipline and restraint are forced out by reality.

What he, Han Mochu, can do is to help Gu Xiu regain those young minds, so that he will not be trapped in the shackles of supreme power in the future.

Great Zhou Palace, inside Fengxian Hall.

Gu Xiu was kneeling upright on the futon, next to Gu You who had swollen eyes, hugged his knees and was still sobbing: "It's all your fault, you wolf cub."

Gu Xiu glanced at him, and he retracted his head into his knees, cowardly like a turtle.

The gate of Fengxian Hall opened, and a gust of cold wind poured in. Gu You hurriedly turned around, only to see Princess Qingzhao walking in from outside the hall carrying a food box.

"Elder Sister!" Gu You cried tearfully when she saw her relatives.

Gu Jin glanced at the man, did not speak, walked straight to Gu Xiu, put the fox fur cloak he brought on the young man, and said softly, "Chi'er, is it cold?"

Gu Xiu looked up at the eldest sister, shook his head and said, "It's not cold."

"Well, elder sister, you are biased, why don't you have me." Gu Youqian sat aside, staring at the two of them eagerly.

"You still have the face to say it?" Gu Jin suppressed his anger and glared at Gu You.

When the accident happened, Gu Jin was on a flower boat in the middle of the imperial lake and was swimming in the lake with four ladies from the Duke's family. When he heard the news, Gu Xiu was already in Fengxian Hall.

According to the palace rules and ancestral system, only the children of the royal family can enter Fengxian Hall, and concubines except the queen are not allowed to enter without permission.When Gu Jin came, he ignored the concubine Li who was in front of the door who wanted to give something to his son, and walked in.

His sixth younger brother is like this today, [-]% of them are spoiled by Concubine Li.Now, it is really necessary to show your temper.

"Sister, he stole it from me, and it's not entirely my fault." Gu You sobbed, wiping away tears.

Gu Jin ignored Gu You who was crying, and reached out to touch the corner of Gu Xiu's skinny mouth: "Chi'er, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Gu Xiu replied in a low voice.

"If it doesn't hurt, why doesn't it hurt? You just say it doesn't hurt." Gu Jin sighed, and opened the food box: "Here are the milk glutinous rice balls made in Miss Chang's kitchen, eat them while they are hot."

"Eldest sister, do you have mine? I'm hungry too." Seeing the food box, Gu You poked his head too.

"No!" Gu Jin scolded, and Gu You's lips puckered again in an instant, tears welled up: "Sister, you are biased, you are biased."

"Shut up. If you cry one more time, I'll throw you out and make you kneel in the snow." Gu You lost all confidence when he heard that, and shrank his head sullenly.

"Chi'er, ignore him, eat slowly by yourself, elder sister is going back first." Gu Jin reached out and touched Gu Xiu's forehead, put away the food box, and did not forget to give Gu You a glare before leaving.

The moment after Gu Jin left, Gu You started to cry again like a grievance broke out: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you wolf cub, the eldest sister doesn't like me as soon as you come back, I hate you! I hate you!" I hate you so much! I don’t have anything! I’ll starve to death and freeze to death!”

Gu Xiu silently swallowed the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, put the bowl on the brick floor beside him, pushed it to Gu You's side, then turned his head, knelt down, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Gu You looked at the glutinous rice ball bowl leaning against his hand, and the crying stopped abruptly.Gu Xiu was very surprised, how could there be tears that came and went so quickly in the world.

"Well, Gu Xiu, let me tell you, don't think that I will forgive you if you give me something to eat." Gu You sucked the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, and said to himself: "Eldest sister is so kind to you, do you know Do you know that Eldest Sister likes Siamese white elephants the most? You insist on snatching it from me. Do you know that you will give her the palace lantern later?"

Gu Xiu listened to Gu You talking to himself silently, and couldn't help feeling a little funny in his heart.

It turned out that the two of them were fighting for the same person.

"Hey! Wolf cub, I'm talking to you! Did you hear...did...yes..." Before Gu You finished speaking, Gu Xiu suddenly glanced at him, scaring his last three The words seem to be blown away along the air.

"I... Let me tell you that I'm not afraid of you. No matter what I say, I'm also your brother. I let you go in the past. Next time you hit me again, I won't let you go so easily." Gu You I almost believed what I said, but it still didn't affect him subconsciously tightening his head when Gu Xiu turned his head.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was a chill in Fengxian Hall.

"Hiss...it's so cold." Gu You rubbed his shoulders and sniffed, then reached out and touched the edge of Gu Xiu's cloak: "Well, can you lend me half of it?"

Gu Xiu didn't say anything, he just took off his cloak and threw it at the person.

"Huh... so warm." Gu You quickly rolled himself into a spring roll: "Hey, Gu Xiu, do you want to lean over too? This cloak is very big."

"I'm not cold." Gu Xiu knelt straight on the futon and replied.

"Oh, you'll be cold soon." Gu You opened his cloak and tried to net Gu Xiu into the cloak like a clumsy fisherman, but Gu Xiu raised his hand to hold his forehead.

"Don't touch me." Gu Xiu let go of his hand coldly, and Gu You almost fell to the ground again.

"Bah, I don't know what's good and what's wrong, I'll freeze you to death, you wolf cub!" Gu You shrank back, rubbed the futon and moved to a place far away from Gu Xiu.

In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Fengxian Hall was opened, and the little eunuch stood in front of the gate to ask Gu Xiu and Gu You to come out.

Gu You was sleeping with the cloak on his back at this time, Gu Xiu pulled the cloak out of the person's arms, saw the person woke up, lightly raised his eyebrows and said: "Let's go."

When Gu You heard this, he immediately got up and rushed to the door with a sad face. Concubine Li had been waiting outside the door for a long time, her eyes swollen from crying like rotten peaches.Gu Xiu also couldn't understand why the mother and son both shed tears so much.

When Gu Xiu walked to the door, he crossed the threshold and saw Han Mochu who was waiting in front of the door. Gu Xiu's two legs couldn't walk in an instant.

I don't know if Han Mochu is angry about what happened yesterday?I caused another disturbance in the court, and I don't know if I can keep my left hand when I go back at this moment.

"Your Highness." Han Mochu stood there with a smile and waited for Gu Xiu to walk out of the gate of Fengxian Hall.

"Master." Gu Xiu's tone was more or less guilty, and he moved to Han Mochu's side step by step.

Han Mochu turned his back, and squatted halfway in front of Gu Xiu: "Your Highness, come on the subject's back."

"What is this for?" Gu Xiu stood aside hesitantly: "I can do it myself."

"Your Highness, let's go up, the Sixth Highnesses are all going back with their backs." Han Mochu turned around and wrapped Gu Xiu's hand around his neck: "Your Highness was originally very dissatisfied that I left you alone yesterday. Among those princes, if you let you walk back by yourself now, I'm afraid your ears will get callused again."

Gu Xiu bent over Han Mochu's back, his strong back freed his numb legs.It is indeed much more comfortable than walking by yourself.

"Master is right. I can't stick to Master's side all the time. One day I have to face it by myself. Also, I walked back when I was punished to kneel before."

"Isn't that because Baode can't carry you on his back?" Han Mochu dragged Gu Xiu's knees and walked slowly on the palace road.

"If it's too heavy, master can let me down and walk by myself." Gu Xiu put his arms around Han Mochu's neck and whispered in his ear, "Master, are you not angry?"

"Why should I be angry? What happened yesterday was not His Highness's fault. If Your Highness is unprincipled and timid, then I will be angry." Han Mochu said with a warm smile: "By the way, His Highness was not here yesterday, so I couldn't sleep. So I nailed out the shelf of the sand table for you, and let Baode go to the Inner Palace to ask for some things later, can you accompany me to do it together?"

"Really?"

Although Han Mochu couldn't see Gu Xiu's expression, he could tell that the child was really happy at the moment.

"When did the minister break his promise?"

Gu Xiu lay on Han Mochu's back, suddenly remembered something, wrapped his arms around Han Mochu's neck, rummaged through his cuffs, and finally found a suet jade medal with peacocks engraved on it.The seal was exquisitely carved, and the peacock's feathers were all distinct. Gu Xiu held the cyan tassel tied on the back of the seal and waved it in front of Han Mochu: "I won it for Master yesterday."

Han Mochu looked at Zhang Zi, his eyes lit up.

Although the child Gu Xiu looked as cold as frost on the outside, his heart was scalding hot.

Gu Xiu's background made him doomed to bear all kinds of injustice and blame, but he never complained or cynical because of such blame.Gu Xiu will miss those close to him and do his best to reciprocate kindness.

This is a person who grows up in adversity, the most commendable.

"Thank you for thinking about it, Your Highness, but if His Highness is like this, today's homework is still inevitable." Han Mochu said with a smile.

Upright as Gu Xiu couldn't hear the joke in Han Mochu's words, he frowned and said, "Master Han, I don't mean that."

"Okay, okay, I know, Your Highness is the most diligent Highness in the world."

"Master." Gu Xiufu squinted his eyes halfway on Han Mochu's shoulder. He was extremely relaxed after keeping his left hand. Thinking of the sand table he was about to have, he was in a good mood: "I'm hungry."

"That minister, hurry up." Han Mochu said with a warm smile.

"Ah."

Under the sun, in the cold wind.

At the beginning of the new year, the boy who returned from the wilderness is no longer alone.
