After returning from spring hunting, Gu Hong was buried in the backlog of official duties and couldn't get out of his body.

During the warm spring season, floods and floods occur frequently in Suzhou, which is likely to cause disasters.The frontier of Mohe, which was conquered by Gu Hong in the early years, regained its vitality, and was a little ready to move.There is also the triennial Chunwei Examination, and Princess Qingzhao's marriage, all of which are on the king's shoulders.

Especially for the matter of marrying the princess, Gu Hong always felt that this matter should be discussed with the Meng family who was outside the palace.Gu Jin is the only child between him and the Meng family. She is the first princess of the country. Her marriage is a national and family affair.He and the Meng family are a royal couple with a shallow relationship, but they are also parents at the same time.

Gu Jin grew up with the two of them holding each other on the tip of their hearts. Even a wealthy king has the same state of mind when marrying a daughter as a folk couple.

It is April, and the spring breeze in Beijing is warm.

Gu Hong found a reason to go out of the palace to pray, and brought the princess and the prince of Monan to Jinghua Temple outside the palace.

When the four princes saw this, they all followed them abruptly on the pretext of praying for the country and paying respects to their mother and concubine.

Especially after getting along with each other during this period of time, they also tasted the fact that their elder sister did not dislike that prince of Monan, and these young people's dislike for that prince of Monan became more and more serious .

I always felt that they were wrong, that Monan Prince was going to trick their pearly eldest sister away.

In Yunni Nunnery, Empress Meng made a rare pot of tea for King Gu Hong. The expressions on their faces were still very alienated, but for the sake of their children, they had to sit face to face.

"Xuefu, you saw that prince today, how do you feel?"

"The poor nun has been in the world for a long time, and I can't see it. How does your majesty think?"

"I don't care about others, it's just that Mo Nan is far away, and a foreigner is not a good match after all."

"Three years ago, someone in the court made a suggestion that Jin'er should be matched with Zhuo Ying, the new champion of the year, and His Majesty also felt that the champion was from a poor family and was not a good match. Today, Mo Nannan is almost going to spend everything this time. The power of half the country is for Jin'er, if His Majesty refuses to allow it at this time, how are you going to end it?"

"Since Mo Nannan is looking for a princess, if there is a girl in the courtier's family in our country, I will make her a princess and send her to marry."

"This method would have worked if Monan's son entered the palace for the first time, and now he has stayed for several months, and everyone knows that he is devoted to the princess of the country. Your Majesty is so perfunctory now, isn't this a war?"

Gu Hong took a sip of tea with resentment in his heart: "Then what do you think should be done now?"

"Your Majesty, are you here to discuss Jin'er's marriage with the poor nun, or to ask the poor nun how to end up with the monarch's reneging on his word?"

"Could it be that you are willing to marry Jin'er far away?"

"As a mother, the poor nun is naturally reluctant. It's just that your majesty has thought about Jin'er's intentions?"

"Intention? What kind of intention?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, if Jin'er and the prince are in love? If your majesty refuses, wouldn't it be a stick to beat the mandarin duck?" Looking at the slumbering king in front of her, Meng frowned involuntarily: "This matter Originally, it has nothing to do with others, the most important thing is the hearts of two people, no matter how far Monan is, as long as the two of them are in the same mind, it is better than being apart."

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Tai, it's not good, the three Highnesses are fighting with the prince."

Before Gu Hong could figure out what Meng Shi said, he heard the anxious and anxious voice of the old woman in front of the door.

Gu Hong put down the teacup and turned outside.On the open space in front of Yunni'an, Prince Monan had bruises hanging from the corner of his mouth, his clothes were messed up and he was pulled aside by two eunuchs.

His three sons were staring fiercely at the prince of Monan with a look like a tiger on their faces.

And his son sitting on the wheelbarrow was pulling his elder sister's sleeve to prevent his elder sister from coming forward.

"What's going on?" King Gu Hong shouted sharply.

"Father, this son of Alan wants to belittle the eldest sister. We saw it with our own eyes, and we were so angry that we shot." Gu Yan was the oldest, so he naturally stood up in front of his two younger brothers.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any." Ari Silan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said quickly.

"You still said you didn't. We saw you touch the elder sister's hair, and you still want to deny it." Gu You blushed with anger. Just now, because he was not good at learning, he couldn't fight with Gu Xiu and Gu Yan like Gu Xiu and Gu Yan. When Azlan fell to the ground, he went up to make up for two kicks, and one kick was empty, so he felt that there was no place to vent his anger at the moment.

"Your Majesty, I just want to have a hairpin with the princess."

The climate in Yunni Temple is pleasant and the flowers are blooming.

Arisilan and Gu Jin paid homage to Empress Meng, and they had a rare conversation without being disturbed. Arisilan saw a delicate pink crabapple blooming just right on the side of the road, so she broke it down to share with her. Gu Jin was stuck at the sideburns, but was dragged aside by the collar.

Next, it was a scuffle.

First, Gu Xiu threw the unsuspecting him to the ground, and then Gu Yan punched him twice.His skill is actually no worse than Gu Xiu's, but there is an older Gu Yan who is also not too bad, and Gu You who kicks and bites him when he finds the right opportunity.

The most irritating thing was the third prince Gu Shen who was sitting on the wheelbarrow. Gu Jin was about to fight, but he suffered from panting, and his face turned pale while clutching his chest, forcing Gu Jin to help him first.

It wasn't until the eunuch who was waiting on the outside heard from afar that he separated the crowd.

"Jin'er, are you injured?" Gu Hong heard the whole story clearly, and looked at Ari Silan with a bright face, feeling inexplicably happy in his heart.

"Return to father, my son and minister are fine, it's because my younger brothers misunderstood." Gu Jin replied truthfully.

"In that case, let's help the son of Alan go down to rest." Gu Hong's eyes fell on the other three sons: "You guys, whether you beat the prince of a foreign country regardless of injustice, come to the altar in front of the hall. Kneel and think about the past."

Gu Hong talked about punishment, but his expression was obviously serious. The futon in front of the Buddhist altar in front of the hall was big and soft, and the three young men with strong bodies could not break their knees.

In the meditation hall in the inner courtyard of Yunni Temple, Gu Jin walked in holding a tray full of wound medicine.

"Your Highness, I'm not that serious." Ari Silan smiled at Gu Jin with the corners of his mouth pulled, the torn wound at the corner of his mouth was also involved, and his smile was somewhat stiff.

"I know it's not important for my younger brothers to attack, so..."

"So the princess is here to make amends for those Highnesses again?" Ari Silan lowered her head, her tone lost, "I thought you wanted to see how I was hurt."

"I actually..."

"Princess, in fact, I understand that those royal highnesses are hostile to me because what I want is the most cherished treasure in their hearts. However, the princess is also the treasure that I most want in this life." Ari Silan While talking, he took out an arrow-shaped pendant from his neck: "At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess shot my hat tassel with an arrow, and the princess under the rising sun was engraved in my heart, making me think about it day and night, tossing and turning. I This time I also want to know what the princess thinks of me, if the princess despises me, I will never bother."

Gu Jin was stunned. For the first time, she took a serious look at the young man in front of her, and thought of the pack of wolves that the young man in the forest blocked for him.

"Senior Alan, I can only say that I don't hate you in my heart, and I am very grateful to you for saving me at that time. But the marriage between you and me is a matter between countries, I..."

"It's good that the princess doesn't dislike me." Ari Silan grabbed Gu Jin's wrist with some excitement: "I hereby assure the princess that the marriage between you and me is not for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and Her Royal Highness is definitely not for the sake of peace. A gift from here. The princess is the true love I found under the guidance of Changshengtian. I would like to swear here that if I lose the princess one day, I will definitely be decapitated and die poorly."

Gu Jin withdrew his wrist in a panic, blushing from his cheeks to his ears: "Your Majesty's words are too serious."

"Princess, I will have an explanation with your younger brothers, and I will treat them as well as the princess. The princess's seventh brother likes to ride and shoot. There are eight hundred miles of grassland in the southern part of the desert where he can gallop. If one day, he spends his time in Beijing If you don’t have a good time, the princess can also be his escape route, and your mother, if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, she doesn’t want to live in the middle of the capital, and the sky in the south of the desert is high and cloudy, which is enough for her to live for the rest of her life..."

Gu Jin did not expect that Ari Silan would mention Gu Xiu and Meng Shi. Her hesitation was partly due to her reluctance to her mother, and partly because of her beloved brother.

Those younger brothers all have their own mothers and concubines as companions and behind them are supported by various forces, but Gu Xiu is the one who worries her the most.

Gu Xiu is an outstanding prince, and as he gets older, such excellence is a crime in the eyes of some people.And this Arithlan is right, if she marries to Monan, she will be able to be Gu Xiu and his mother's retreat in the future, allowing them to escape from the chaos in central Beijing at any time.

"Your Majesty." Gu Jin pursed his lips and thought for a while, then slowly said: "You can't convince those little things by yourself, let me help you in the future."

In the evening, Gu Xiu returned to Guiyun Palace.

Han Mochu had already finished bathing and changing clothes, and was wearing a large cloak and leaning on the couch in the small room to read a book. Seeing Gu Xiu come back, he closed the book, went to Gu Xiu and took off the cloak.

"Your Highness is back? How is your spring outing today?"

Gu Xiu had a serious expression on his face, Han Mochu knew something had happened without guessing.

"Your Highness, are you angry with that Prince Alan again?"

"Well, there was a fight." Gu Xiu sat at the small round table where he usually had meals, his cold eyes revealed a rare loneliness.

"Then tell me, why are you fighting with Prince Alan today?"

With a sullen face, Gu Xiu told Han Mochu everything about how he fought against Ari Silan today, and how Princess Qingzhao left their brothers who were forced to kneel to see that Ari Silan.

Han Mochu suppressed a smile, and patted Gu Xiu's knee: "Your Highness, you feel that no one cares about you anymore? Then I love you, okay? I will let Baode get some hot water with you, and I will apply it to you." Put on your knees."

"Kneeling on the cotton, where can it hurt?" Gu Xiu's expression was still bad: "Is Young Master Han joking?"

"I know that your highness is because the princess is partial to the son of Alan. Your highness feels that someone has robbed your treasure at the moment, so you are unhappy."

"Master, will you be snatched away?" Gu Xiu looked at Han Mochu's gentle eyebrows, and asked himself in a panic, "I'm really confused. It's been almost three years since I returned to the palace. Merit, my grandfather's family is still suffering in the extreme north, what is in my mind all day long."

Gu Xiu pursed his lips and thumped his own head, resigned to his fate, stretched out his left hand to Han Mochu.

Gu Xiu's open palm welcomed not a ruler, but a candied fruit exuding sweet fragrance.

"I asked for leave of grace today to go out of the palace. I bought a lot of good things and waited for His Highness to come back. Who would have thought that after waiting for so long, His Highness didn't even ask. If I had known it, I wouldn't have bought it."

Gu Xiu was not here today, and Han Mochu invited En to go out of the palace to find Su Che, to ask about some pulses in the palace that he didn't quite understand.

Su Che seems to be very used to the bustling and impetuous in the capital, and even sold his secret awakening soup to those students in the name of the Chunwei Examination, earning a fortune.

Han Mochu was also not polite, and searched for a little "people's fat and people's ointment" from Su Che within the scope of reason and not hurting brotherhood.

Then they generously collected a lot of food and play with Gu Xiu in the Bianjing market.Not for anything else, he just likes to see Gu Xiu happy.

After getting along almost inseparably for the past two years, his feelings for Gu Xiu have already surpassed the kindness that he wanted to repay in the past, but a real kind of intimacy between the two of them.

Not because he is General Yunyao's son, but because he is Gu Xiu.

"Master..." Gu Xiu stared intently at the candied fruit in his palm, momentarily at a loss for words.

Han Mochu closed Gu Xiu's open palm with a smile, and his tone was full of sincerity: "I won't be snatched away, I'm not a person who doesn't keep his word, I will accompany Your Highness if I promise you, then I will accompany you." Your Highness."

"Then, how long will we be with you?"

"a long time."
