The reborn prince is hard to raise

Capital Gufu.

There are only a few remnants of lotus left on the water outside the study, and it looks a bit more bleak in autumn from a distance.Gu Jiyan stood beside the desk, his eyes fixed on the lines of ink on the letter, and the emotions in his eyes were unpredictable.The study was extremely quiet, even his breathing could be heard clearly.

After a long time, he folded the letter in his hand neatly and put it into the envelope, turned around and walked to the bookshelf, opened the hidden compartment with a secret place, and put the letter in.

After walking around the room with hands behind his back for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. Before returning to the case, he spread out the blank paper, dipped the white hair in ink, and wrote a reply letter with a serious expression.It seems that the words are carefully considered, hesitated, and revised several times before it can be written.

Sealing the letter with sealing paint, Gu Jiyan finally wrote four words on the envelope: Wang An respectfully.

When Mu Hanjiang reappeared in the East Palace, it was already the season when the autumn wind was getting cooler.Gu Mingheng stood in the pavilion and watched the withered and yellow leaves slowly fall into the water, making ripples and swaying away. There were golden and red koi swimming by in the lake, and disappeared in an instant.

It was autumn again, and he was reborn on the seventh day of September in the 11th year of Jianzhang, and it has been five years since he was reborn.He looked at the eternal palace walls of the imperial city, and suddenly he didn't know what was going on.

Lu Chengning sat in the waterside pavilion and plucked the strings. He couldn't tune into a tune, but it was very pleasing to the ear.He was wearing a black dragon robe with a jade belt around his waist and a golden woven dragon pattern on his shoulders, making his face look like water in a deep pool, extremely calm.

"Amu, you're about to turn into a piece of charcoal!" Xie Yunhong even went into the palace early this morning when he heard that Mu Hanjiang was going back to the Chongwen Museum.As a result, looking at Mu Hanjiang who was smiling brightly at him standing on the steps outside the Chongwen Museum, he didn't recognize him.

Mu Hanjiang didn't refute what he said, but just grinned, showing bright white teeth, showing no displeasure, and seemed to be enjoying it very much.He has grown a lot in the past few months. He was about the same as Xie Yunhong at first, but now he is half a head taller.When the two walked together, Xie Yunhong appeared to be slender and his face was like a crown of jade.

"Yesterday, I heard from my father that the transfer of officials is about to start again." Xie Yunhong and Mu Hanjiang said a few more words, seeing him just smirking and feeling very bored, Shi Shiran sat sideways on the stool, he is used to Shaking the folded fan in his hand frantically, his words carried deep meaning.The long water-colored robe was worn on his body, making him look even more graceful.

It was a practice in the Yong Dynasty to transfer elected officials, which changed every five years.The promotion and promotion of state government officials, the release of Beijing officials, and the entry of local officials into Beijing are almost all carried out at this time-this has also become a great opportunity for various factions in the past dynasties to intersperse forces to replenish contacts.

Gu Mingheng sat across from him, and asked with a smile, "Ah Hong, do you want to ask me what I think?" His voice seemed to be tinged with the coolness of autumn, with an inexplicable taste.

Lu Chengning paused for a moment with his hand pressing the strings, and turned his head to look at Gu Mingheng.Seeing that he smiled at himself, and there was no worry in his brows, he lowered his head and played the Hanzhang seriously.This time his music was not messy, but the tune of "Autumn Moon in Pinghu".

"There are only a few in Japan in autumn, why does Your Highness play such sad music?" Xie Yunhong supported his face with one hand, looked at Lu Chengning's expressionless face, his voice was slurred.

Mu Hanjiang, who was listening to them carefully, suddenly asked, "Ah Hong, Your Highness played very well, so how can there be any sense of sadness?" His expression was puzzled, and there was no falsehood.

Hearing this, Xie Yunhong directly opened the folding fan to cover his eyes, expressing that he did not want to look at him, and said in a low voice, "I am sitting with someone who is not elegant like you!" Mu Hanjiang grinned , and replied, "Young master just loves to sit with you, so what can I do?" As soon as these words came out, Gu Mingheng burst out laughing, and the gloom disappeared for a while.

Seeing Xie Yunhong looking at him with a questioning face, Gu Mingheng thought for a while and said, "Master Gu also gave me a message a few days ago, asking me to do my best." I don't know how long ago, he has rarely called Gu Jiyan "Father" is replaced by "Master Gu" more often.

"That's what I want to ask. There are only a few official positions that can be inserted. Do you want to put in the Gu family's relatives, or the East Palace family?" Originally, the Gu family should have been assigned to the East Palace. In the department, there is no distinction between the inside and the outside, but Gu Mingheng once made it clear to him that the Gu family is not reliable for the prince, so Xie Yunhong asked this question.

Suddenly thought of something again, Xie Yunhong looked complicated, his father revealed the day before yesterday that he and Gu Hanjiang would also enter the East Palace to officially become officials of the crown prince.This is clearly told to his father today, Xie Yunhong is more and more unable to understand, what kind of attitude does His Majesty treat the Prince?

You must know that the meaning of accompanying reading is different from that of being an official. If you enter the East Palace and become an official of the crown prince, it really means that the entire family will be included under the command of the crown prince.

Gu Mingheng smiled and shook his head, but did not answer.He has been thinking about it since a few months ago. This transfer is just a good time to transfer some people from the Eastern Palace to other places. According to the memory of the previous life, there will be no loss.But as Xie Yunhong said, official positions are limited, and there are very few vacancies for important positions. If the Eastern Palace family occupies the majority, then the Gu family will definitely be dissatisfied.

Gu Mingheng tapped his fingers on the table and made a slight "Du-Du" sound. His brows and eyes were full of deep thought, he pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "East Palace." He said these two words very firmly.

He could almost predict what kind of reaction the Gu family would have, but as the crown prince regained his sanity and got older, it was time to curb Donggong's dependence on the Gu family in Puyang.The most important thing at this time is to cultivate Donggong's own power - he will never allow the situation where the foreign relatives monopolize the power and make the monarch empty.

What's more, he didn't forget how the Gu family treated Lu Chengning like an abandoned shoe when King An was appointed as the crown prince in the previous life.What they fancy is the status of the crown prince, not Lu Chengning.In the hearts of the descendants of the aristocratic family, the family is always the most important thing, so when Lu Chengning has no use and attachment value, this is the ending he faces.

Wasn't it like this in my last life?Thinking of this, Gu Mingheng suddenly felt chills.

Xie Yunhong looked at Gu Mingheng in shock when he heard the word "East Palace". Although he knew that Gu Mingheng wanted to separate the Gu family from the East Palace, he never expected him to be so decisive that he would leave no room for it.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Yunhong unfolded his folding fan and said with admiration in his eyes, "I understand." Although it is really worrying, since Gu Mingheng is willing to give it a go, why not accompany him?

After Xie Yunhong and Mu Hanjiang left the East Palace, Lu Chengning stopped pointing and looked at Gu Mingheng quietly. After a long silence, he asked, "Is Ah Heng in trouble?" He was strangely sensitive to Gu Mingheng's emotions.

Gu Mingheng was startled, and then smiled, "Ah Heng is not in trouble." Seeing that Lu Chengning was still full of doubts, he had no choice but to explain, "It's just that I suddenly hesitated a little about the decision I made earlier, it's not a problem."

When Lu Chengning heard his tone relax, he nodded and sat behind Hanzhang, and said carefully, "This song is just to relieve your worries." After speaking, he moved his fingers lightly, and the sound of the piano poured out.

This is a tune that is completely unfamiliar to Gu Mingheng, but listening to it makes one feel like being under an ancient pine, hearing the sound of mountains and rivers, and seeing the image of the sea of ​​clouds, and the image of tranquility is born in the heart for a moment, so smooth and natural.

That's all, Gu Mingheng thought about it for a long time before he opened his eyes and looked at Lu Chengning with some surprise, "Is this a song composed by Ah Ning?"

When Lu Chengning saw that his frown was loosened, the brow became clearer.Some unnaturally lowered his eyes and asked, "How is it?" There was a hint of expectation in the words.

Gu Mingheng nodded, stood up and walked around behind Hanzhang, held Lu Chengning's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aning, this is the most pleasing sound Ah Heng has ever heard."

Lu Chengning appreciated his praise very much, nodded and said, "How about Aning playing for you from time to time?" There was a trace of caution that he hadn't noticed.Seeing that Gu Mingheng nodded in agreement, he softened his brows and eyes.

As night fell, the East Palace was brightly lit.

The night dew was heavy, and after taking a bath, Gu Mingheng changed into moon-white pajamas, and his long, dried hair was loosely hung behind him, and was tied casually with a silk ribbon.He stepped on clogs and went around the screen to enter the inner room, and saw Lu Chengning sitting next to "Hanzhang" as if he was thinking about something.

"A'Ning?" Gu Mingheng stopped in his tracks and shouted in doubt, but got no response.Recently, it has been rare to see him in such a high spirited state, and Gu Mingheng felt a little worried for a while.

When he got closer, Gu Mingheng called softly again, "A-Ning?" Lu Chengning reacted now, turned his head to look at Gu Mingheng, "A-Heng called me?" He asked with a dazed expression.

Gu Mingheng held his hand helplessly, and warmed his hand, "Is Ah Ning cold?"

Gu Mingheng's hands were very warm, with a slight moist feeling.Lu Chengning paused for a few seconds before answering, but it was completely irrelevant, "What should Ah Heng's favorite piano music be called?"

Gu Mingheng was startled when he heard the words, and then he realized that he was talking about the tune he played in the water pavilion in the afternoon, and his eyes were filled with smiles for a moment, is that what Ah Ning was thinking about?

"What do you want to be called, Ah Ning?" Gu Mingheng stood on the spot with his sleeves hanging down, his breath was pleasant, and he looked at Lu Chengning gently with his eyebrows and eyes.Compared with usual, he at this time is more heart-warming and wants to be close.

"Jun Si, solve Jun's worry." After a moment of silence, Lu Chengning opened his mouth a little embarrassed, looking at Gu Mingheng with a little dodge.After speaking, he turned around and took a few pages of rice paper and handed it to Gu Mingheng, "Here." On it was a music score with neat writing, and the ink was dry.

Gu Mingheng looked at the newly written word "Jun Si" on the paper, and suddenly the tip of his nose became sour.

No one has ever spent so much time composing music for him, just to relieve his worries.After reading it carefully, Gu Mingheng raised his head to look at Lu Chengning, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, Aning..."

At this time, Lu Chengning stood up suddenly, and the unchanging dragon robe made a slight sound of cloth rubbing against each other. Unexpectedly, he held Gu Mingheng's shoulder with one hand, and leaned over to kiss the center of Gu Mingheng's brow with burning affection in his eyes, softly Said, "I wish you no worries."

Gu Mingheng raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of shock and complexity.
