Since the two concubines of Wu and Zhou left that day, Concubine Li Jin's actions were still very fast. First, she asked for an order to go to the Jinghua Temple outside the palace to ask Queen Meng's meaning.The Meng family only said that it is good to let nature take its course, and the Jin family thought that they had the queen's approval, so they began to invite all the wives and wives in the capital of Bianjing to sit in the palace. There is an unnamed son, looking for a caring and gentle girl.

Li Fei Jin's conditions are not too harsh, the family does not need to be a famous family, as long as the birth date, appearance and personality match each other.

The news that Concubine Li Jin was going to choose the concubine with Gu Xiu spread all over the capital. People with daughters in the city wanted to bring their daughters together in front of this upstart prince. Same as the hill.

Everyone in the capital seemed to be busy with Gu Xiu's marriage, but Gu Xiu himself turned a deaf ear to it.

In Gu Xiu's eyes, there are only three things: recruiting recruits, changing armor, and handling military affairs.Even when the king has set a mandatory rest day, he will either draw the blueprint of the new armor with Han Mochu in the mansion, or study the new formation together with Han Mochu, covering everything from mountains, land, and even sea battles.The biggest purpose of Gu Xiu doing this is to reduce casualties.

"Your Highness, Concubine Li sent servants to send ten portraits, and I instruct you to pick one out today. If you don't pick one, the servants will not be able to leave." Early that morning, before Gu Xiu left the house, he He was blocked in Zhanwang's mansion by several young eunuchs from Concubine Li's palace.The leading eunuch held a large scroll in his arms and looked at Gu Xiu with a miserable expression.

That day, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu went out to the outskirts of Beijing to choose a location.Gu Xiu saw that most of the children of the widow's family had not been educated, so he thought of funding a larger school for those children to study in the suburbs of Beijing.

Unexpectedly, before he went out, he was blocked by a group of little eunuchs.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu took out a painting scroll from the eunuch's hand with a serious face, "Let's go back and do business."

"Your Highness, don't you want to open it and take a look?" The leading eunuch looked at the scroll with a look of embarrassment on his face: "If you don't look at it, choose...this..."

"Huh?" Gu Xiu squinted slightly, those eyes that were as cold as blades frightened the little eunuch, he hurriedly held the scroll and saluted Gu Xiu: "The servant said, the servant will go back to the palace to deal with business."

Walking out of Zhanwang Mansion, the two got on their horses.

Han Mochu walked side by side with Gu Xiu, and said with a soft smile, "Concubine Li is choosing a concubine for Your Highness, Your Highness, are you just kidding like this?"

"Didn't Master say that to get married you need to be happy with each other, isn't it just child's play for Concubine Li to be like this?" Gu Xiu shook his head frankly while riding on horseback.

"But Your Highness, you are going to get married after all. Your elder brothers are all married and set up a family. It is too eye-catching for you to be alone."

When Han Mochu said this, he didn't even notice the slight sadness in his tone.

When having a banquet at Han Ming's mansion that day, Han Mochu's random arrangement of the story of restraining his wife and keeping his widowhood completely wiped out his love in Bianjing City.He did this partly because he didn't really have that kind of thought, and partly because he wanted to save unnecessary trouble and accompany Gu Xiu wholeheartedly.

Now, Gu Xiu wants to discuss marriage first.

These years, he has been by Gu Xiu's side and watched him grow up.Accompany him from a little prince who no one cares about, to a prince who plays an important role in the court today.They have experienced too many things together, more than ordinary people have experienced in ten or twenty years.

Gu Xiu has always treated him like a master and student, like a confidant, like a relative, except that he is not like a monarch.

If Gu Xiu gets married, the closest person to Gu Xiu will be his wife.That woman will stay by his side and take care of everything for him.From food and daily life to basic necessities of life, take care of him in every detail.

He, Han Mochu, was about to withdraw from Gu Xiu's side, so he could only continue to assist him in military and government affairs.Gu Xiu would never grab his sleeve to call him master, never lean on his back, never lean on his lap, never pester him to practice sword riding with him , until Gu Xiu ascended to the high position many years later, they will be completely alienated and become monarchs and ministers.

Thinking of such a future, it is impossible not to lose hope.

If that time really comes in the future, will he continue to stay by Gu Xiu's side, or go to Baiming Mountain to hide from the world like Mr. Yi Wei.It has become unknown whether those grand careers that he and Gu Xiu are looking forward to together can be realized together.

"Master, if you don't leave, you won't be able to arrive before noon." Gu Xiu turned around and called Han Mochu, who was a little behind.

Seeing Gu Xiu's upright back, Han Mochu responded, and rushed up lightly.

Before Han Mochu's sadness lasted for two or three days, he realized that he was really worrying too much.

The scroll that Gu Xiu pulled out was the youngest daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites, two years younger than Gu Xiu.The appearance is not outstanding, but she is also a rare lady.

Under the arrangement of Concubine Li, the little girl was brought by several court ladies to meet Gu Xiu in Prince Zhan's Mansion.

The first time Gu Xiu saw her, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and wiped away the delicately painted flowers between the eyebrows, and the little girl was at a loss for what to do.

"What did you draw it for? It doesn't look good." Gu Xiu frowned, looking at the red stain on his fingertips.

The little girl burst into tears on the spot, insisting that she would marry anyone but Gu Xiu.

The second lady Gu Xiu met was the granddaughter of Liu Zichen's Erfang family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. She was the same age as Gu Xiu and had a cheerful and generous personality.Gu Xiu was busy with daily military affairs, and the little girl was so courageous that she went straight to the barracks regardless.

As a result, Gu Xiu didn't even look at the person, and when his horse passed by the person, he was splashed with mud and water.

The third lady that Gu Xiu saw was the only daughter of Zhongwuhou's family. She was one of the best in appearance among the ladies in Bianjing, and she was pampered and spoiled at home since she was a child.Gu Xiu's cold look is not at all pleasing to the heart, but the gentle and elegant Han Canjun next to Gu Xiu is more pleasing. If it weren't because Han Mochu was a widower who denied his wife, she would have asked her biological father to beg for this for her. It's about marriage.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth ladies that Gu Xiu saw were either scared away by Gu Xiu's knife-like temper, or they were so angry that Gu Xiu's attitude hit people's hearts with words.

These several marriages of Gu Xiu fell through one after another, which directly led to his reputation among the noble households in Bianjing that he was lonely and arrogant, and could not be entrusted to him for life.

Han Mochu never expected that Gu Xiu's marriage would end up in such a way.A prince with outstanding military exploits and just winning the favor, no matter what he said, no one would shy away from him.

Until the completion of the primary school, Gu Xiu distributed the remaining 3000 taels of silver in the yearly service to the survivors of the warriors who had patients at home.

Only then did Han Mochu suddenly realize that Gu Xiu is a good kid everywhere, but his temper is too stubborn, and he doesn't know what it means to be a Gu family.What woman in the world would be willing to let her husband post all his wealth to the outside, and return to the mansion without even the most common greetings.

Over there, Concubine Li Jin was eagerly looking forward to the news in the palace, but what she was looking forward to was turned down by one family after another.

The mother sees her son as flawless.If there is a mistake, it must be the fault of others.

"Nowadays, these ladies from the official family are really hypocritical." Before the dressing table, Concubine Li Jin was choosing a bead flower that would match the phoenix hairpin: "The 17-year-old prince is in full bloom, handsome and handsome, Why can't you bear to be entrusted to you for the rest of your life? Isn't it just that you have a hard temper and are busy with military affairs? Is there any promising man in the world who can watch over his wife all day long?"

"Your Majesty, I can't really blame those young ladies. Now who's daughter is not pampered? Who doesn't want her daughter to marry a husband who knows the cold and the hot?" the big palace maid Biyun comforted softly, and took a plum blossom The hairpins are aligned on Kim's sideburns.

"Then what do you think we should do now? Is it possible that this child will always be alone?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Isn't our Highness Prince Ning the most sensitive man in the world? Tell him to talk to His Royal Highness Zhan Wang, and see those young ladies again in the future. Wouldn't it be nice to be more pleasant?"

"Well, it's true, Xiu'er was born in the Northern Wilderness since he was a child, and now he's stuck among the men in the military camp. If You'er is not allowed to talk to him about these men and women, I'm afraid this child won't know what to do when he gets married. What?" The hairpin Biyun chose was very much in Jinshi's mind, and what she said was also in Jin's mind.A few words made her brows relax, and her face beamed with joy.

In the study room of King Zhan's Mansion in the capital.

Gu You hugged his shoulders and looked at Gu Xiu who was concentrating on reviewing the military report after looking at the case on the table.

It was the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

Han Mochu was invited by the Duke of Lu to eat the wedding wine of the third son of his family, and he has not returned at dusk.Because Gu Xiu offended a lot of people about the marriage negotiation, Han Mochu wanted to help Gu Xiu earn back the face bit by bit.

Ning Wang Guyou was just read by his mother and concubine in the palace, and he was ordered to go to his seventh brother's house to explain this kind of love between men and women to him, otherwise he would not have to call him concubine mother in the future .

After a long time, Gu You finally couldn't hold it back anymore, he held his forehead helplessly and said, "Seventh brother, tell sixth brother, what have you done these days to offend all the ladies in Bianjing? "

"I didn't do anything, I just told them a few truths." Gu Xiu said without knowing why, "They don't look good when they dress like that."

"Seventh brother, how can you tell the truth to a woman?" Gu You suddenly felt that his head hurt even more. In the past, he always thought that his seventh brother was the smartest boy in the world, and he learned such a difficult document in a day. .

Why is it that his seventh brother doesn't know anything about this instinctive matter between men and women?

"Why can't I tell them the truth?"

"Don't you know that they will be sad if you tell the truth? They dress up like that to please you. If you say that they are not good-looking so directly, can they not be sad?"

"But I just don't think it looks good." Gu Xiu looked at Gu You seriously, and Gu You instantly understood what the ancients said about playing the piano with a cow.

Gu You supported his forehead, thought over and over again, raised his head and said, "If the elder sister wore brocade clothes and painted flowers for you to see, would you say she is not good-looking?"

"If it's the eldest sister, it's natural to look good, isn't it?"

"That's right, the eldest sister looks good even without makeup. That's the eldest sister..." Gu You thought about it, then raised his cheeks and recalled that when he was seven years old, he insisted on marrying Gu Jin as his wife, but was finally rejected by the king. Gu Hong really beat him up.

"So, Sixth Brother, what exactly do you want to tell me?" Gu Xiu put aside the half-read document and looked at him seriously.

"I want to say..." Gu You was at a loss for words for a moment, and he didn't know where to start: "Forget it, when you have a sweetheart, you will understand by yourself."

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, seventh brother, do you know what a sweetheart is?" Gu You suddenly realized the crux of the problem: "Did you never know what a heartbeat is?"

"I..." Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what to say.

"It seems that you really don't understand." Gu You got up and went around in front of the person, put his hands on the table, and shook his head to show off: "It's not difficult to talk about this sweetheart. Simply put, you just need to see When you see him, you will feel your heart beating faster, your cheeks are hot, and sometimes you will be at a loss. But even so, you still want to be close to him. You like to listen to what he says, and you like to watch what he does, as long as he is in your You can no longer see other people in your eyes, no matter what he wears, he is the most beautiful one in your eyes. The most important thing is, even if one day you find that he is not beautiful and gentle, you still want to keep it By his side, I will live my whole life for such a long time..."

When Gu You said this, Xu Jingrou, his fiancée who fell in love at first sight, was always in his mind. That day Xu Jingrou entered the palace and stood under the osmanthus tree in Bihua Palace.Gu You poured all the youthful feelings of these years into her.

"Then..." After hearing these words, Gu Xiu asked thoughtfully: "If I meet my sweetheart one day, what should I do?"

"It's easy to handle, just go and hug him in your arms, don't care how he struggles when he kicks and bites you, just hug him and say you want to marry him, anyway, you are a prince, don't care what happens in the end, Father I will always agree to your marriage." Gu You said as he hugged Gu Xiu's shoulder affectionately, and said proudly: "That's how I begged to marry your sister-in-law at that time. I tortured my father for three days. Emperor Father agreed, if you like someone in the future, you should act quickly, otherwise you will lose your chance if it is too late."

Gu You fretted for a while, thinking he had explained the relationship between men and women to Gu Xiu clearly.I went home contentedly.

It was dusk, and the lamps were turned on in the Wangfu study.

Under the night light, Gu Xiu took out the paper-folded little fox from his pocket and rubbed it repeatedly in his palm, as if what he cherished was a part of his body.

He has been wearing this little fox close to his body for a long, long time.Even when going to Goguryeo, he did not leave for a moment.Whenever he was alone late at night, he would take out this little fox to admire it.

Little fox, do you know what a sweetheart is?

Little fox, do you have a sweetheart?

Suddenly, the cold wind outside the house shook the candles of the lamp.

Someone came, Gu Xiu very neatly hid the little fox in the palm of his hand.

Han Mochu is back.Holding the food box in his hand, he walked in through the sporadic snow outside the house.The gentle eyebrows and eyes, under the soft night light, seem to be exiled immortals.

"Your Highness, there was a banquet at Lu Guogong's mansion today. There was a saying that assorted stuffed duck is good. I raised my mouth, and Lu Guogong ordered the kitchen to make another one for His Highness to bring back. It is still hot at the moment. Your Highness wants Don't try it?"

Seeing that Gu Xiu didn't answer, Han Mochu put down the food box and walked to the opposite side of Gu Xiu's desk, and suddenly smiled and frowned: "Your Highness? What are you thinking, so lost in thought?"

Gu Xiu was taken aback for a moment, and when his eyes met, it was as if he had been enlightened.

Seeing him makes your heart beat faster and your cheeks burn.

You like to watch what he does, and you are willing to listen to what he says, as long as he is in your eyes, you will never see others.

No matter what he becomes in the future, you want to be with him for a long time.

together for life.
