The reborn prince is hard to raise

Following Gu Mingheng's words, "May I have a great Yong, Haiyan, Heqing, and the country's eternal peace. The country will last forever, and the world will be peaceful", all the royal relatives and officials in the palace quieted down. They looked at Gu Mingheng in red, and were a little surprised at the young man's appearance. Courage and restrained temperament.

Not everyone dares to place such a big bet under such a scenario.

The emperor Lu Zezhang's finger tapping on the throne suddenly stopped, his eyes froze, Cheng Ning, what will you do?

Gu Mingheng stared intently at his eyebrows and eyes, his body was like a solid sculpture, without the slightest tremor.Lu Chengning didn't look at him, he just stared blankly at Gu Mingheng's hand, his eyes blank.It's like a person is in the palace, but he doesn't know where his mind is wandering.

Seeing that he still didn't move after a long time, Gu Mingheng smiled wryly in his heart, Ah Ning, did I still overestimate myself?Forget it, this time the bet is - I lost it.

Thinking about it, he slowly retracted his already sore arm, and the long sleeves fell to the ground, even the cloud patterns on them lost their luster.He stood up slowly, and the pleated dress fell straight down, making a slight friction sound.

Holding the wine bottle, Gu Mingheng looked at the clear liquid in the glass, held the glass firmly with both hands, and handed it to his lips, his trembling eyebrows drooped, covering the expression in his eyes.It turns out that the aroma of this wine can also smell bitter.

Ah Ning, I drink this cup for you.

Just when the wine touched his lips along the wall of the glass, Gu Mingheng's arm was suddenly pulled, and after a pause, he turned his eyes slightly, and saw Lu Chengning holding his arm tightly with one hand, and staring at him intently. The hand that holds the wine bottle by itself.

Not looking at the glass, but at the hand.

"A'Ning, do you want a drink?" Gu Mingheng's expression changed instantly, the corners of his mouth curled up, he handed the wine bottle to Lu Chengning, and asked softly.

Lu Chengning's gaze moved with his hands, and finally looked at the wine bottle held in these hands with some doubts.After hesitating for a long time, Lu Chengning finally raised his hand, stretched out his index finger and lightly touched the rim of the glass, as if he was testing something.

Gu Mingheng watched Lu Chengning patiently caressing the patterns on the cup bit by bit, without moving his hands, his eyes were always smiling.

Lu Chengning seemed to be sure that this was a familiar thing, so he took it, imitating Gu Mingheng's appearance just now, holding the wine bottle to his lips with both hands, pursing his lips to taste the taste, with an extremely serious expression.

Looking at his serious and innocent appearance, Gu Mingheng suddenly felt a little sour on the tip of his nose.Ah Ning, do I think that you have accepted my existence?

Thinking about it, Gu Mingheng collected his expression, took his own glass of wine with a serious face, and drank it with his head raised.The wine is stained on the pink lips, like the night dew dripping on the petals.

Afterwards, he took the wine bottle that Lu Chengning had been holding in his hand all this time, and put it on the lacquered wooden tray of the Dianyi Supervisor. He saw the Dianyi Supervisor slightly raised his head and gave him a grateful glance, then bowed and walked out of the hall slowly.

Gu Mingheng held Lu Chengning's hand, and walked towards the emperor's throne in tune with the rites and music.The fingers of the two are intertwined, and the red hem of the clothes winds behind them, like a flowing rosy sky.

Standing at the foot of the throne, the two listened to the head of the Ceremony Division standing in front of the big bell tap the face of the clock. The melodious sound of the bell was accompanied by a loud chant: "Promise the sky with the blue jade, and honor the earth with the yellow cong."

Afterwards, the emperor got up and took out a jade bi and a jade cong from the lacquer tray on one side.Gu Mingheng led Lu Chengning and knelt down, raised his hands above his head, took the jade cong, and sang loudly, "Long live my emperor!"

As soon as the words fell, the officials and relatives stood up and faced the direction of the throne, kneeling down and shouting, "Long live my emperor!"

At this point, the wedding ceremony is over.

When boarding the sedan chair to the East Palace, Gu Mingheng still couldn't recover.The scenes just now were like hallucinations and memories, making him unable to tell what night it is.Looking at the familiar pavilions and winding corridors outside the sedan chair, he was filled with emotions.

I finally came back here again, this bright and dark imperial city.

Thinking, he looked down at Lu Chengning who was sitting on the side, and saw that he seemed to be tired, his body was sitting upright, but his eyes were closed, and his head was dozing off bit by bit.Looking at his appearance, Gu Mingheng raised his hand to touch his face, but stopped in mid-air, retracted his hand and clenched his five fingers.

Ah Ning, go to sleep, I will stay by your side.

After a long time, the sedan chair arrived in front of the gate of the East Palace. At this time, the moon and stars were sparse, and the chirping of birds could be vaguely heard, and the voice was sparse.The officials of the Eastern Palace stood at the gate of the palace to welcome the return of the prince and princess.

"A'Ning, we've arrived at the East Palace." Gu Mingheng said softly, and saw Lu Chengning opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and he didn't seem to be dazed when he just woke up. He looked at the word "East Palace" written on the plaque, and took the first step got out of the car.

Gu Mingheng shook his head helplessly, really expected him to wait for him, but he didn't know how many years it would take, so he followed along while thinking about it.

Standing behind Lu Chengning, Gu Mingheng leaned over to help the crown prince Zheng Ruyuan who was kneeling in the front, and said in a loud voice, "Please get up quickly, old man." He has been in the East Palace since the prince was six years old. When he was over sixty years old, he asked to resign and return to his hometown. The emperor agreed, but begged him to stay and be the prince and tutor.After Mr. Zheng agreed, he packed up his books and entered the East Palace. This lasted three years.

Since his last life, Gu Mingheng has admired this old gentleman with high reputation among scholars. He has been a clean and honest official all his life, has countless disciples, is open-minded, and advocates ancient etiquette.

Back then when the emperor abolished Lu Chengning as the crown prince and made King An the emperor's younger brother, he was the only one to persuade and advise in the Xuanzheng Hall of China and North Korea, kneeling for a day.Then he passed out and went west within three days.

"His Royal Highness is getting married today, I am really happy for His Royal Highness." He stood up with Gu Mingheng's support, his palms were thin, but his eyes were very hale and hearty.He looked at Gu Mingheng with gratification, "May the prince and concubine be blessed by God." As he spoke, he bowed down again.

"Sir, there is no need to be too polite!" Gu Mingheng hurriedly stopped his movements, and said sincerely, "The prince and the junior need more teaching from the gentleman in the future. In this way, the gentleman is the master of the junior, how can the junior be worthy of worship? Furthermore, Mr. is old, and you don't need to salute when you see juniors in the future."

He took a step back and said respectfully, "Student Gu Mingheng, I pay my respects to the teacher." His voice was calm, with respect from his heart.

"Princess, get up!" Zheng Ruyuan stroked his long gray beard, his eyes were full of smiles, "I heard that Mr. Gu Jiu is knowledgeable and proficient in piano and painting. This old man accepts this obeisance, and he will definitely teach him with all his heart in the future. Fang lives up to this sincere obeisance."

Gu Mingheng got up, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He knew that he had passed the old gentleman's test this time. With the help of Mr. Zheng, many things would be much easier.Now that he has entered the East Palace, many things have to be considered early.

"The students have met the teacher!" Gu Mingheng smiled all over his face, raised his hand and bowed loosely, and the old and the young looked at each other and smiled.

When he entered the dormitory, Gu Mingheng only felt sore all over his body, and he was so tired that he almost couldn't lift his arms.After all, he is only 11 years old now, and his body can't bear such long-term fatigue, and his spirit is very tense. He was out of everyone's sight for a while, and he felt exhausted.

Looking at Lu Chengning, he found that he had fallen asleep lying on the round table.Presumably, he arrived at a familiar place and was very tired. He must have been unable to hold on, right?Gu Mingheng went to the door and called Azheng and Ayu softly. They had already been waiting outside the dormitory, and when they heard the voice, they led a group of servants into the dormitory with Jiang Bai, the chief supervisor of the East Palace.

"When does the prince usually go to bed?" Raising his hands, Ren Azheng and Ayu took off his dress and robe, Gu Mingheng looked at Jiang Bai who was waiting at the side and asked softly.

"Prince Princess, Your Highness has a very fixed bedtime, going to bed at Xu time (around nine o'clock in the evening) every day." He was not sure about the temperament of the new master, but judging from His Highness's current situation, this Crown Princess must He is the actual ruler of the Eastern Palace in the future.As the chief inspector of the Eastern Palace in charge of internal affairs, he couldn't make any mistakes during the first meeting, so he responded with [-] points of caution.

"It's past midnight now." Gu Mingheng murmured, and then said to him, "Clean up the wooden couch next to His Highness's bed, and I'll sleep there tonight." As he said that, he changed into a light blue loose robe, his eyebrows and eyes were a little bit cool.

Jiang Bai quickly lowered his head in response to "Yes", and directed the palace attendant to tidy up by himself.

"Go out, just leave Azheng and Ayu here." After cleaning up, Gu Mingheng said lightly, and saw the palace servants in the bedroom slowly exiting the door.He sat next to Lu Chengning, seeing him sleeping soundly, his eyes softened.

"Master, you've been tired all day, why don't you rest first?" Ah Zheng looked at Gu Mingheng's exhausted appearance, and said softly on the side.

"No rush." ​​Gu Mingheng stretched out his hand to bring a cup of strong tea from the table, with a relaxed posture and a relaxed expression.His eyes kept falling on Lu Chengning, as if he was thinking about something.Seeing such a scene, Azheng and Ayu stood quietly behind him without speaking again.

The young master has his own plans, they don't need to intervene.

After half a stick of incense, there was a voice from the palace servant announcing outside the door, "Nurse Wu begging to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Nurse Wu is the crown prince's wet nurse and the closest person to the crown prince. She has a very high status in the East Palace. Even Jiang Dajian has to back down by three points." Ah Zheng said in a low voice, looking at the ground with his eyes, his face flashed with deep thought.

Is the son waiting for her?Although it is best for this person to stand up, there are also hidden worries.

Ah Zheng gradually realized that he couldn't understand the young master more and more.

"Xuan." Gu Mingheng ordered lightly, and then came the sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of opening the door.

"I've seen the princess." Nanny Wu glanced at the sleeping prince, a little disappointed in her eyes, and then bowed down to Gu Mingheng with a respectful tone.Behind her was a maidservant in a light brown dress, who looked only eleven or twelve years old, and she followed Madam Wu to bow down.

"What's the matter?" Gu Mingheng didn't look at her, picked up the teacup and took another sip, his tone was so calm that he was a little indifferent, and he didn't put her in his eyes at all.

"The old man is here to guard His Highness." Madam Wu lowered her head, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but her tone was taken for granted.

Gu Mingheng laughed lightly when he heard it, full of sarcasm, "Stay safe?" He stood up as he spoke, his light blue robes, like mist from mountains and mist, brushed past Madam Wu's eyes, "The prince is getting married today, come to the prince's bedroom , guard Your Highness?"

He finished the sentence word by word, then glanced at the girl kneeling behind her, and said slowly, "Are you bringing a maid?"

Nanny Wu's face turned pale. She has lived in the palace for so many years, and she has always had courage, but she is also a little weak at the moment, but she still insisted, "I am worried that Your Highness will make trouble at night." She said very loudly. Gently, with loving kindness.

"Since Wu Momo is so worried about His Highness, go and kneel outside the door and guard His Majesty all night." Gu Mingheng looked at Wu Momo who was kneeling on the ground with a very casual tone, and saw Wu Momo raised her head immediately after speaking. Come on, look straight at yourself.

Her lips trembled, and it took a while before she calmed down and said, "If your highness starts to make a fuss in the middle of the night, you must call Laoshen, your highness, since he was a child..."

"Nurse Wu." Gu Mingheng couldn't bear to listen to her, and interrupted her directly, "Your Highness, he is no longer a child. He is the crown prince of a country, how can he be better than a servant? Besides, the prince has already married today."

Gu Mingheng looked at her as if his eyes were frozen, and even the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "Now, you can go out."

"Old man, take your leave." Mother Wu said, then got up and walked out of the bedroom quickly.The maidservant who was following her seemed to have numbness in her legs, and hurriedly followed her, forgetting to even salute.

Gu Mingheng looked at Lu Chengning who was not disturbed at all, and suddenly wanted to sigh.Ah Ning, you fell asleep so soundly, I really want to wake you up.But seeing him sleeping peacefully, I still couldn't bear it after all.

"My lord, are you going to rest?" Ah Zheng and A Yu asked while seeing Gu Mingheng's face full of tiredness.

"You said, why did I ask her to kneel outside?" Gu Mingheng rubbed his brows, closed his eyes, and asked suddenly.

Azheng and Ayu looked at each other, and Ayu responded, "No matter how much the servant is favored, he can't surpass the master. How can there be someone like her who wants to show you off on the prince and son's big wedding night?" ?” Ayu said a little annoyed.

Because Nanny Wu is the crown prince's wet nurse, the prince is mostly dependent on her, so she actually has a high status in the East Palace, and she is quite trusted in front of the empress.It's just that she was wrong, she didn't understand Gu Mingheng clearly.

His vision finally became shallower.The son of the Gu family in Puyang, the current crown princess, can she be blackmailed?

"anything else?"

"She shouldn't bring the maid into the bedroom." Ah Zheng continued, with a calm tone, "Young master is a man, although he is a princess, but there must be taboos in this way." He said concisely.

"Yeah." Gu Mingheng opened his eyes, looked at Ah Zheng and A Yu standing beside him, his eyes were gratified, "In this palace, you should talk less and listen more. The palace is no different than outside the palace. Dangerous places, and long-standing ills. Also, always remember that when I am alone, no woman is allowed to approach alone."

The two agreed cautiously, they both understood the difficulty of the young master.The palace is far less glamorous than it appears on the surface.

The difference of one thought is the abyss.

"You go out first, just keep at the door."

After Azheng and Ayu went out, Gu Mingheng finished washing alone, looked at Lu Chengning who was still awake, bent down and carefully picked him up, and walked towards the couch.Lu Chengning was very thin, and it was very light to hold in his arms, Gu Mingheng secretly thought in his heart, it seems that he should take good care of what he eats in the future.

As soon as he put him on the couch, Gu Mingheng met Lu Chengning's wide-open eyes, was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "Ah Ning woke up?"
