The reborn prince is hard to raise

Jinzhou official post.

After traveling all day, the team was exhausted.Not long after night fell, the entire official post became quiet, only the chirping of insects in Xia Ye and the neighing of horses coming from the direction of the stables, which were especially clear in the night.

Moving the light to the table in the center, Du Anlian and Cao Yongwang sat on both sides of the table, silent and did not speak.One closed his eyes and rested his mind, while the other stared at the lights with a thoughtful face.They are the first staff members of King An's Mansion, they are not confused in their age, they have been under King An's command for nearly ten years, they can be regarded as veterans of the King's Mansion.This time when Wang An went to Beijing, he accompanied him all the way.

After a while, there was the sound of slow footsteps in the inner room, and Lu Zehe, who had long wet hair and was wearing a thin shirt, came.His brows and eyes are somewhat similar to Lu Zezhang's, perhaps because he is more like his mother, which makes his brows and eyes softer under the light.He has taken good care of himself these years. Although he is only two years younger than Lu Zezhang, his appearance does not match his age.

He sat on the wooden stool by the table, put one hand on the wooden table, and his posture seemed very casual, "You two gentlemen have been waiting for a long time." His tone was mild, but his eyes were sharp.

Cao Yongwang and Du Anlian hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying "dare not" repeatedly.Lu Zehe nodded in satisfaction, gave him a seat, and paused for a long time before slowly opening his mouth to say, "During this journey, the two of you should have heard some rumors about Lu Chengning from the people. Do you know what to think?"

He stared at the dancing candle flame with both eyes, and his voice was as soft as singing, but with vague displeasure and even anger.

Du Anlian thought for a while and said, "Compared to ten years ago, the prince's popularity is much higher, and now there are more praises than criticisms." Du Anlian clasped his hands in his sleeves, and his voice was slow and indifferent.His calm and unruffled appearance seems to be appreciated by King An.

Cao Yongwang said, "This situation is very unfavorable to the prince."

He is much thinner than Du Anlian, and he is also shorter when sitting on the wooden bench. "In recent years, it can be seen that the crown prince is valued more and more today, and on the surface, the power of the East Palace family is also growing. Although the Xu family is declining, there is no second family to support the crown prince. Gu The clan has also fallen to our side, but the strength of the Yanyun Mu clan and the Jiangnan Xie clan should not be underestimated."

"That's why this king came to Beijing so long in advance." He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and the cold tea flowed down his throat, which made people feel a little nervous.Originally, he wanted to wait until the crown prince became more stable before entering the capital. Anyway, a foolish crown prince is not to be feared.

But the situation waits for no one, if it waits until then, Lu Chengning's strength will definitely be able to contend with him.Just thinking of the eldest son who stayed in the palace, he was a little worried.

"Is the prince worried about your son?" Cao Yongwang asked tentatively with his brows and eyes moving slightly.Du Anlian glanced at him out of the corner of his eye when he heard the words, and snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't speak.

"Well, although Huanzhang has become a father, his restless temperament still hasn't calmed down. I'm still a little worried about handing over the palace to him after I leave." He sighed worriedly.

Lu Huanzhang is the eldest son of Princess An, and his status and blood are noble enough, but he is not successful enough.This is also why he has been cultivating his second son Lu Huanjue in recent years.

"Second Young Master is also in the mansion, I think it will be helpful to the Young Master." Cao Yongwang said sincerely.

As soon as the words fell, Du Anlian snorted softly, with sarcasm, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. His son has acted more calmly and strategically in the past two years. Although sometimes he is still too impatient, but with the deepening of experience, It will definitely become stable. Besides, with the help of the mother clan, there will be no big troubles."

After speaking, he glanced at Cao Yong out of the corner of his eye, and then set his eyes on the table again.

Lu Zehe felt a sudden irritability in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "The two gentlemen should rest first, you are quite tired after driving for a day, let's discuss these matters tomorrow." Said, he got up and went in inner room.

Cao Yongwang and Du Anlian walked outside the door. There were only dim sporadic lights on both sides, illuminating the vague outline of the road.

"Even if the prince loves the side concubine again, the second son will not be able to sit on the throne. When it comes to blood, how can a lowly merchant woman compare with a woman from the direct line of the family?" Du Anlian's forehead was wrinkled, and his tone was very contemptuous.

Hearing that Cao Yongwang was not annoyed, he just smiled and said, "Then let's see if the prince can satisfy the prince this time." As he spoke, the smile on the corners of his lips suddenly retracted, he shook his sleeves and turned to his own. Go to the residence.

Gu Mansion.

Gu Wanling lay on her mother's lap, her eyes were red and swollen as if she had just cried.Clutching the silk silk tightly in her hand, she mourned, "Mother, do I really want to marry?" As she spoke, she began to cry again.

She is seventeen years old, and other noble girls in Beijing have already been engaged at this age, and those who were earlier have already married.But she stayed in her boudoir all the time. To put it nicely, the Gu family took pity on their daughter's family and wanted to protect her for a few more years.To be mean, the Gu family's vision is getting higher and higher. Even the one in the East Palace has not yet become the emperor, but the Gu family has already put on airs.

Gu Wanling didn't know about these things, she just thought that just like what her mother said, her father and the elders in the clan wanted to see more candidates, so as to find a young talent for her.Every night, she often had hallucinations about what her wishful husband would look like in the future.

But today, when I greeted my mother, I was told such news, which immediately made her heartbroken.

"It's not up to mother to decide, nor is it up to your father to decide. This matter is jointly decided by your uncle, third uncle and the clan." Xiao Zhiwei embraced her daughter with a lot of reluctance on her face, "Now that King An is about to enter Beijing, your father has already sent a letter. Presumably, you only need to tell the emperor, and the matter will be settled."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Wanling's sharp voice was heard, "No! I don't want to marry King An! He is old enough to be my father!" She cried again, "If I marry, I will definitely become the king of Jingzhong. laughing stock! Mother—"

Xiao Zhiwei's complexion turned cold when she saw that she looked so devoid of the aristocratic lady's attitude.She was so disturbed by the crying that she had a headache and didn't speak for a while.

Gu Wanling was crying, she glanced at her mother's expression through her teary eyes, and stopped her voice suddenly - she knew that she had gone too far.

"Okay, what's there to cry about?" Seeing that she stopped crying, Xiao Zhiwei's tone became slightly better, "I was the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling back then, didn't I marry your father as a sequel? Look at you again." My elder brother, Gu Mingheng, entered the palace at the age of 11 to be the concubine of that stupid and insane prince."

She looked at Gu Wanling who was covered in make-up with a bit of resentment, "Now it's just asking you to marry King An as a side concubine, is it more terrifying than killing you?"

He said in a low voice, "If King An succeeds to the throne in the future, won't you be a concubine? At that time, you will be alone in your youth, with the most beautiful appearance, and worry about not being honored? If you give birth to a prince, if you manage it properly, you will still be a concubine. Is there anything you want to worry about?"

Seeing Gu Wanling's eyes gradually light up, Xiao Zhiwei stroked her back, "Actually, marrying into the Hou family's family is not too different from entering the palace. Where is it not intrigue? I can only see my own luck. It is a lucky person, maybe in the future, my mother will rely on you to gain a foothold in this Gu family."

Her tone was a little heavy. Although she has been standing in the name of the main room all these years, and Gu Jiyan has not accepted anyone into the mansion, he has never visited her Dufangzhai in March. The laughing stock among the noble ladies.

"Mother, can King An really be the emperor?" Gu Wanling sat up straight, looking at Xiao Zhiwei with bright eyes, a little excited.

"Well, don't worry, this matter is probably inseparable." Xiao Zhiwei pinched her cheek with a smile, and said with a smile, "I won't be able to see my mother after entering the palace, are you really willing?"

Gu Wanling took Xiao Zhiwei's hand coquettishly, and said in a low voice, "At that time, I will take my mother to live in the palace." As she spoke, she leaned into Xiao Zhiwei's arms.She imagined herself wearing a fancy dress and wearing a colorful phoenix and golden crown, and closed her eyes contentedly.

East Palace.

Lu Chengning went down to court, and returned to the East Palace on his shoulders.The bead curtains on the shoulders swayed slightly, making crisp sounds when they collided with each other.In today's court, Leng Zeyan was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the second rank of the official residence, and the leading scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.Being so young but already so high-ranking made everyone in the court think differently.

Leng Zeyan has been included in the Eastern Palace lineage since she entered the court as an official, and her move today can't be more obvious.And Bai Ziyi, who is also from the Eastern Palace lineage, led the sixteen guards of the imperial army, Zhonglang General, from the rank of third rank.Although the official position is not high, he is in charge of the throat of the palace and the fortress of the capital.

All these things are developing in the direction and trajectory he expected, but for no reason, he always feels a little uneasy in his heart.

After getting off the shoulder, walked along the long corridor to the outside of the bedroom, and heard the melodious sound of the piano, which instantly calmed down the slightly gloomy mood.Subconsciously, she paused - Ah Heng hadn't played the piano and plucked the strings for a long time.

Gu Mingheng was looking for the feeling of his fingertips with his eyes closed, when he opened his eyes suddenly, he showed his face unconsciously and said, "But Ah Ning is back?" Although he was doubtful, he said it with certainty.

"En." Lu Chengning leaned over, and held him in his arms from behind with both hands. The long black sleeves of the black crown robe were draped over his body, and the two seemed to be one.Rubbing Gu Mingheng's ear with his chin, he shrank subconsciously, "itch..."

Lu Chengning didn't bother him anymore, but kissed him lightly on the cheek naturally, "It's been a long time since I heard Ah Heng play the piano."

"Yeah, I also suddenly realized that I haven't taken out the 'Hanzhang' for a long time, and even the technique is a little rough. That's why I burned incense and cleaned my hands today, and tried it out. Sure enough, the music played is even worse." He nodded, tilted his head in front of Lu Chengning's chest, and said in a warm voice.

Lu Chengning held his hand in one hand, seeing his red fingertips felt distressed, turned around and sat beside him, "How about playing the piano with Ah Heng today?" With a smile in his eyes, he said "For my husband ", Sure enough, Gu Mingheng looked away instantly, and the tips of his ears were a little red, but he didn't refute, just nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

The sound of the piano curled up, and the song "Jun Si" rippling between the strings.Lu Chengning looked at Gu Mingheng in the gap between stroking the strings, and saw that his side face was peaceful, with an obvious sense of joy, as if he had already indulged in the music of the piano, forgetting about mundane affairs.

May you have no worries.

The author has something to say: [Brain Bubble Theater opens again...

In the early morning, Gu Mingheng was tying his hair in front of the mirror, when he saw Lu Chengning hurried in...

His Royal Highness: Ah Heng, have you ever seen your husband's beloved thing?Could it be lost? o(╯□╰)o
