Ever since Gu Xiu was beaten in front of Gu You that day, the young man who had been spoiled for many years finally changed his temper.

He could sit and study for at least two hours a day. That old Mr. Bai had been wasted for many years, and finally had a chance to use his spare energy.

Gu You's talent is not stupid, a little bit of playfulness will benefit a lot.

Concubine Li was happy on the one hand, but on the other hand felt unbearable.

Gu Xiu's child and his precious son had a rare friendship.But he has been alone all the time, with only a young teacher and a half-stupid little eunuch to take care of him.If after a while even the princess leaves the palace to marry outside the palace, then there will be no one who knows the cold and the hot around the child.

So he knocked around in front of Gu Hong a few times, wanting to admit Gu Xiu to his knees and take him back to his palace to take care of him.

Late at night, in the emperor's bedroom.

Ambergris incense curled up from the incense burner, and layers of tulle curtains were stacked, vaguely reflecting the shadows of two figures rubbing their ears together.

Young Master Nan Xi blushed and handsome, prostrated himself on King Gu Hong's chest and begged for mercy in a pitiful low voice: "Your Majesty, this slave is dead, let him go."

"You little lunatic, you must have pestered me to kill you, now you know how to beg for mercy?" Gu Hong reached out and stroked the smooth back of the man in his arms, his brows raised lightly, like a tiger that is full but still planning to play with its prey .

"Your Majesty, I see that your Majesty has been talking to Concubine Li for so long today, and you don't allow me to be in front of you." Nan Xi let go of her hand, rolled up the quilt and was turned away: "Your Majesty is jealous."

It has to be said that Nan Xi's coquettishness has been tried and tested for Gu Hong.Sure enough, the king who was still full of emotions hugged him very naturally, and revealed Nan Xi's angry little face under the quilt: "What are you jealous of? She didn't come to invite pets. She just came to tell me that she wants to Just keep Xiu'er in her palace."

"Oh, Concubine Li is really greedy. She has a son herself, so how can she still miss other people's sons? Your Majesty lied to me." Nan Xi turned her face away, and rolled into the couch even with the quilt.

"Why did I lie to you? She just saw that Xiu'er and her son really got along well, and wanted them to be a companion." Gu Hong followed the roll of quilt and moved into the big bed. Nan Xi hugged her whole body back into her arms.

"Then Your Majesty agrees?" Nan Xi turned around, wrapped her arms around Gu Hong's neck, and rubbed her whole body into Gu Hong's arms.

Gu Hong closed his arms and hugged Nan Xi: "I didn't agree, I don't think Xiu'er is old enough to need a foster mother to take care of her. If the two children really get along well, then they just need to move around more. " Gu Hong leaned over and obsessively sniffed the charming sweet fragrance of Nanxi's body, and muttered to himself: "I originally thought that they only got in touch with each other because they were similar in age. I really didn't expect that they would be so close."

"That's natural. Flesh and blood are flesh and blood, and blood relatives are blood relatives. Even if they are separated by thousands of miles, those who should be close will naturally get close." Nan Xi pressed against Gu Hong's chest, and slid her fingertips across the gully on the chest, like a dog. A charming cat demon.

"Yes, blood relatives, those who should be close will always be close." Gu Hong said this for himself.

He is Gu Xiu's father, also a blood relative.

He felt more and more that Gu Xiu's stubbornness was somewhat similar to his youth. After many years, King Gu Hong seemed to have forgotten how he got along with the late emperor back then.

Royal father and son is the most difficult relationship in the world.There is not only a layer of distinction between monarch and minister, but also a layer of blood relationship.I don't know if it was because he treated his brothers and sisters too harshly in the early years, which led to his lack of love for women in his life.

There were very few concubines who became pregnant after ascending the throne, and even none of them were supported by the end of the month.

There are seven sons in total, dead ones, disabled ones, and one who invalidated himself alive.

Of the remaining three sons, there is one who is ignorant and incompetent. He spends his days either teasing cats and dogs or making troubles.The other, although stable and excellent, was not close to him.

As a monarch who is nearly fifty years old, Gu Hong has long lost his determination to conquer the world in the past, and began to worry about these trivial family issues.

Thinking about it, Gu Hong froze.

"Your Majesty? Why are you silent?" Nan Xi gently shook his shoulder.

"Nothing? I was just thinking about Xiu'er." Gu Hong lowered his head and kissed the forehead of the man in his arms, and said with a wry smile, "You said that he was not by my side since he was a child, will he remember to hate me in the future?"

"How come? What is Your Majesty thinking?" Nan Xi raised her head, and gently kissed Gu Hong's chin: "You are his father, the ruler of the world, you can give him a king that no one else can ever give. Rong and Tianhuang's identities, how could he remember you?"

"But..." Gu Hong frowned, and the decisive figure of Yun Yao when she left the palace reappeared in front of her eyes.Gu Xiu grew up beside her, how could he not hate him?

"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about the past? The evidence of the past is undeniable. Your Majesty has not implicated the members of the Yun clan. It is a great grace. You spared their lives so that they can reflect on the past in the Northern Wilderness. They only want His Majesty Will be grateful, how can there be grudges?" Nan Xi supported Gu Hong's shoulders, turned over and put it on Gu Hong's body: "Besides, if His Royal Highness has hatred for you in his heart, why would he go to the palace banquet with Xiong Xiong? Fighting? Everyone knows that brotherhood is deep and deep, and it all stems from the affection for parents. If he hates you, how can he get close to the princess and befriend the sixth highness? In short, you are too fierce, and the seventh highness dare not close to you."

"You little thing knows again? Are you fierce?" Gu Hong lifted Nan Xi's chin with his fingers, admiring Nan Xi's beauty with great interest.

"Hmm... Fierce... Seems to kill the slave every time." Nan Xi blinked her eyes, and turned her eyes into Gu Hong's chest: "However, the slave likes it."

Yongxi 17th year, February [-]th.

The eldest son of Monan, Arislan, led the tribal envoys and entered the palace with an annual offering that was several times higher than in previous years.King Gu Hong knew the purpose of this Monan son's trip.He also knew that his only direct relative, the princess, had already reached the age of marriage.About two or three years ago, he began to pay attention to the noble households in the capital, but he always felt that none of the descendants of those aristocratic families could match his own daughter.

Monan is the most powerful tribe among the Mongolian tribes, and it has been a long-standing practice for the foreign clan to ask for the princess of the Kingdom Dynasty.The prince of Monan had the grace of saving the princess's life on top of last year's spring hunt, and now it seems that the prince still has an attitude of affection for the princess.

For the princess's marriage, the previous court had been arguing for no less than half a year.Until last month, Mo Nanan's famous book proposed to marry the princess, but in the end, this matter was still on the table.

For this matter, Gu Hong, the king who sits in the world, was unwilling, but he really didn't know how to refuse, so he could only agree to the request of Monan's eldest son Ari Silan, and let him stay in the palace temporarily to see the aftermath.

The king's will was like a boulder crashing into the calm water, causing a huge wave.

The four princes, who were usually close to each other, suddenly became united in hatred.

Han Mochu didn't know what other people were like, but he only knew that the child Gu Xiu's expression hadn't been pretty for a day since he heard the news that Monan's son had entered the palace temporarily.

Han Mo had no sisters or brothers when he was born, only Su Che grew up together.He really didn't understand the younger brother's feelings for the eldest sister, the kind of pensive and critical feelings for the elder sister's future pillow.

Since the son of Monan entered the palace, Gu Xiu talked less and got up earlier, and the guns he used in martial arts were replaced by long guns that can be used in actual combat!The gun, every move and every move was practiced with anger, smashing four or five pieces of the brick floor in Guiyun Palace.

After a few days like this, Han Mochu finally couldn't help but comforted Gu Xiu with gentle words: "Your Highness, in fact, the princess has already reached the age of marriage. Didn't Your Highness say early in the morning that the princess will marry a woman sooner or later? Why are you so serious?"

With a sullen face, Gu Xiu exerted force in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and he cut off the Langhao brush in his hand, and the ink splashed all over his hand.

"Your Highness?" Han Mochu took out a soft handkerchief to wipe Gu Xiu's hands, and asked in a gentle voice, "Does Your Highness hate the Prince of Monan, or do you hate all men who have thoughts about the princess?"

Gu Xiu held his breath, he didn't know how to answer Han Mochu's question for a moment, he thought for a long time before he said: "Anyway, the one from Monan can't do it."

Baoyuan was a young eunuch who was originally on the job in the Inner Palace, doing some moving work.

After the prince of Monan entered the palace, he served the prince together with six other eunuchs.

It was a sunny, cloudless afternoon.

According to the instructions, Baoyuan distributed the white jade melons brought by the son of Monan to the wombs of the emperors.

The territory of Monan is dry, and there are very few types of fresh fruits. There is only one kind of melon that grows in the sand, which tastes very good.The melons are only ripe for one season a year, and the yield is very small, and the skin is thin and juicy, which is not resistant to transportation.Ari Silan only selected ten good-looking ones when he came to Beijing this time, four were dedicated to King Gu Hong, two were sent to the princess, and the remaining four were going to be distributed to the princes.

When Baoyuan brought the melons to the third prince Gu Shen, Gu Shen was sitting on a cart in the yard trimming the bonsai.

"The servant has met His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Monan Shizi ordered the servant and the princes of the other palaces to send some white jade melons to try."

Gu Shen slightly raised his head and glanced at the man, his hands continued to move: "Put it down, and thank you son for me."

Baoyuan put down the melon in his hand according to his words, and said: "Your Highness, Third Prince, if there is nothing else to do, this servant will leave first."

"Wait a minute, let me ask you, where is the melon princess?"

"Go back to the third highness, the princess already has it, and it was sent by Prince Monan himself."

Hearing this, Gu Shen's scissors for cutting flower branches suddenly turned halfway: "Forget it, I understand, you can step back."

After Baoyuan left, Baolu, Gu Shen's personal servant, brought over the wooden box containing melons; "Your Highness, how about letting the small kitchen cut it off with you?"

"No need, send it to Mother Concubine's main room."

"Your Highness, this fruit is only produced once a year in the early spring, and it seems to be quite precious. Why don't you save some and try it?"

"No more, I don't want to see this box right now." Ever since Gu Shen made a cut, the bonsai in front of him suffered disaster, and the cuts became more and more bald.

Baoyuan turned to the imperial concubine's palace where the fourth prince Gu Yan lived. Gu Yan, who was in charge of the government, had already started to deal with simple official documents.

Baoyuan explained the purpose of coming, Gu Yan asked people to put down the things and retreat without even raising his eyelids.

After the people left, Gu Yan put down the official documents and files in his hand, and ordered: "Baoqing, take that thing down, and the people below you can share it."

Baoqing didn't understand why he was holding the wooden box with a gold border: "Your Highness, how can we slaves deserve such good food?"

Gu Yan glanced at the wooden box, and said coldly: "The things sent by the servant are just right for the servant to eat."

When Baoyuan and Gu You delivered the melons, Gu You was not there, and was practicing calligraphy with the old Mr. Bai in the main room.

After class, I saw white jade melons with horns on the small table in the outer room, I touched a piece, tasted it was cold and sweet: "This fruit tastes good, where did it come from?"

"Returning to His Highness, this is the white jade melon sent over by the prince of Monan, who said it was for the princes of the palaces to taste something new." The little eunuch Bao Fu replied truthfully.

"Bah bah bah, who told you to accept the things that guy gave you? You want to marry my elder sister because of your kindness! There is no way!" Gu You immediately spit out all the melons he ate in his mouth: " Hurry up and throw this dirty thing out to the dogs. If you dare to accept something from him in the future, I will skin you!"

Baoyuan’s last box of fruit was given to Gu Xiu. Ari Silan knew that Gu Jin treated Gu Xiu differently, so he specially put some delicate milk food that young people like in the box for Gu Xiu. The box is also bigger than others.

When Baoyuan entered the door, Han Mochu had just woken up from his afternoon nap, and was in the courtyard playing tricks with Gu Xiu.

long!The spears and swords clanged and faltered, and the movement of the two became faster and faster, and the weapons in their hands could hardly be seen clearly.When the two were fighting fiercely, Han Mochu saw someone in front of the door out of the corner of his eye, so he withdrew his sword and even Gu Xiu's footsteps along the way.

"This little father-in-law, what's your business?" Han Mochu said with a warm smile.

"The servant has seen His Highness the Seventh Highness, and Master Han. The Prince of Monan sent the servant to give His Highness some things."

Hearing the words Monan Shizi, Gu Xiu's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, the long hair in his hand!The gun hit the ground hard and smashed a masonry into pieces, then turned around and walked into the inner room without looking back.

long!The sound of the gun hitting the broken bricks and stones scared Baoyuan into a shudder, and he didn't know where the words he just said offended Gu Xiu, the little ancestor, so he could only smile palely.

"It's nothing, Your Highness is just tired from practicing martial arts, please go back after you put the things down."

Han Mochu's words made the little eunuch feel as if he had received an amnesty, and after handing over the things to Baode, he ran away without a trace.
