First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 376

  Chapter 376 Mother (one more)

The reason for this speculation is that Xiao Liulang told Laojijiu that Princess Xinyang also had Dragon Shadow Guard in his hands. No matter what purpose the first emperor gave to Xinyang Princess Long Shadow Guard, at least one thing should be explained-Xinyang Princess was in the first emperor. The weight in mind is not trivial.

  In fact, if it hadn't been learned from Xiao Liulang that Princess Xinyang holds the Dragon Shadow Guard, Laojijiu would not have known that the relationship between the father and daughter was so deep.

  Princess Xinyang's biological mother was Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu died of an illness when she was thirteen years old. At that time, Princess Xinyang was old. There is no such thing as who adopts her name and takes care of her.

  The Emperor Xian did not take special care of her because she had lost her fatherhood. The Emperor Xian treated her like many princesses in the palace...

  Old Jijiu shook his head.

  It seems that there are many things he doesn't know.

  Gu Changqing and Princess Xinyang are not of the same generation, and they don't know much about the situation at the time, so they don't have such a great feeling for Old Jijiu.

  He was the only emperor who had always loved this daughter very much, but he didn't know it.

  He considered the current situation and said: "Princess Xinyang is not in the capital, but it's not too far. You can get there in a few days..."

   "She may not meet you." Old Jijiu said.

  Gu Changqing was silent.

  He understands what the old Jijiu said is true.

  Since Young Master Hou died in the fire at the Imperial College, Princess Xinyang was overly sad and couldn't help herself, and finally left the sad place of Beijing with her confidant.

  She refused to see anyone related to the capital.

  Thinking about it, it can be understood that the shock of losing her son is too great for her. She does not want to be hurt by the scene, nor is she willing to contact anyone who may remind her of the past in Beijing.

   "Got to try." Gu Changqing said.

  Old Jijiu did not refute, neither of them are stupid. On the surface, the easiest and most intuitive way is to steal back the imperial decree, but for the day Long Shadow Guard is in the hands of Concubine Jing, they can't get it.

  Perhaps even if they know the contents of the imperial edict, they still can't succeed, but as the saying goes, knowing oneself, knowing the enemy is invincible, as long as they understand the contents of the imperial edict, they can understand what Jing Taifei's trump card is.

  Gu Changqing said: "Princess Xinyang is near Fengdu Mountain, right? I happen to be going there recently. I will stop by to visit Princess Xinyang."

  "What are you going to do in Fengdu Mountain?" Old Jijiu said with concern.

  Gu Changqing said: "Grandfather asked me to go."

  It was probably about the secret army, but the grandfather didn't say much about it.

  It's strange to say that the grandfather gave them all the tokens last time as if he was confessing to the funeral, but he took all the tokens back the next day.

  Lao Jijiu's mood fell down: "If you go to Fengdu Mountain, please go and put incense on an old friend for me."

   "Okay." Gu Changqing didn't ask who the old friend was and what was the relationship with the old Jijiu. He just asked for the address of the cemetery, then got up and left.

  When he walked to the door, he ran into Xiao Liulang unexpectedly.

  I don't know how long Xiao Liulang has been here, and how much he has heard, but after all, he is not an outsider, so there is no need to hide it from him.

  Gu Changqing nodded and said hello.

  Xiao Liulang also nodded in return.

  After Gu Changqing left the yard, Lao Jijiu also walked out. He opened his mouth when he looked at Xiao Liulang, who was thin and lonely in the moonlight, and suddenly did not know how to speak.

After a long while, he sighed ashamedly: "There is something to ask about Princess Xinyang... I'm sorry, maybe you should have been notified in advance. You shouldn't just involve Princess Xinyang in this way."

  In spite of this, even if it happens again, even if Xiao Liulang stops him, he will still tell Gu Changqing, hoping that Gu Changqing can go to Duke Xinyang to give an answer.

   is not only to bring down Jing Taifei, but also for Xiao Liulang's safety.

  Xiao Liulang is already in the game. If Jing Taifei does not get rid of, he cannot rule out the danger.

   "But..."

   "Teacher, it's late, you should rest."

The voices of   Lao Jijiu and Xiao Liulang sounded almost at the same time, almost meaning that it was indeed Lao Jijiu who spoke first, but Xiao Liulang just said two words and then connected.

  The kind of seamless connection makes it hard to feel whether he interrupted intentionally or was indeed accidental.

  Old Jijiu paused and nodded: "Okay, I'm almost done here, so you can go to rest. It's hard to go to the countryside today, go to bed early."

  Originally, in accordance with the usual practice and the relationship between the two, the old Jijiu will be concerned about what he did when he went to the countryside. After all, for the Hanlin officials, it was these "political achievements" that really played a role in promotion.

  You can chat up to this point, everyone knows that the topic should end.

  Xiao Liulang returned to the next door.

   Liu Quan came over from the corridor: "Master."

   "Oh." Old Jijiu sighed, "Why do you think he is so stubborn?"

   Liu Quan already knows the identity of Xiao Liulang, but he still doesn't quite understand the words of Old Jijiu: "Why did you say this, Lord?"

  Old Jijiu waved his hand: "Forget it, nothing."

  Xiao Liulang went back to his house and plunged into the study. He closed the door of the room without any light, and stood alone in the boundless night.

  He understands what the teacher wants to ask.

  ——Why don't you tell Princess Xinyang that you are back?

It is excusable not to tell Xuanping Hou to reluctantly. After all, the relationship between father and son is not close, and after all, there will always be some strange repulsion and friction between men. A teenager in the rebellious period and a romantic father will become enemies. Not surprising.

  What about the credible princess?

  What is wrong with the mother who put you on the cusp of her heart? What's the crime? What's the point!

  In the past, you thought that you didn't go to her because you were worried that your business would involve too much, and it would hurt her.

  But she holds Long Yingwei in her hand, who can hurt her?

  Why do you do this, Ah Heng, why!

  Gu Jiao went to the stove to boil some hot water, and made a midnight snack. She planned to see if the men in the family had returned.

  When she passed the study, the door was closed, and there was no candlelight coming out, so she walked over without much care.

  But she turned back without taking two steps.

   is an intuition.

  She didn't knock on the door like she used to, but gently opened the door and walked in.

The faint candlelight under the corridor penetrated in, allowing her to see the back in front of the desk that seemed to be shrouded in great sadness.

  She closed the door with her backhand, and her figure was swallowed by darkness again.

  But she knew where he was, and she could hear his breathing.

  She walked over slowly and stopped behind him.

  Xiao Liulang did not turn around or speak.

  She didn't speak either.

  ——It is impossible for him not to know that someone has come in. He must not want to speak if he didn't respond.

  Gu Jiao just can't understand too many complicated emotions, it doesn't mean that she can't feel the emotions of others.

  He is sad, sad, sad.

  The image of Gu Jiao embracing herself in her arms and gently comforting herself when she was sad because her aunt had forgotten herself.

  It's a pity that she is not tall enough to hold someone in her arms like he did and let her head be buried in her chest.

  She thought for a while, stepped forward, stretched out her little arm, and gently hugged him from behind him.

  This is also okay, right?

   can be a little bit less sad, right?

  Gu Jiao hugged very lightly at first, but when she pressed her cheek to the back of his slightly stiff spine, she did not know if she was getting closer to his heart, and the sadness she felt became stronger.

  She tightened her arms.

  In the darkness, Xiao Liulang resisted the pain of the sore throat, raised his hand, and covered her hand holding her waist.

This time it was no different from any previous time. Gu Jiao comforted him thoughtfully, but did not question him. Gu Jiao obviously felt that after he calmed down, when he pulled away and left, he opened his mouth, as if he had something to make with him. Speak for yourself.

  Gu Jiao stopped for a second.

  Speaking fast or slow in that second, if he wants to explain, he can stop her, if he still decides not to explain the two, it will not be too embarrassing.

  He finally did not explain.

  The next day, Gu Jiao woke up early and helped the mother and wife cook breakfast for the family.

  When Xiao Liulang came out of the Westinghouse, Gu Jiao was arranging the dishes, and she curled her lips at him: "Morning."

  Nothing seems to have happened, just like usual.

  Xiao Liulang nodded, and said hello: "Morning."

   Soon the small clearance also started. He went to the backyard to practice exercises. After a while, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan also started. A lively morning began.

  After breakfast, Xiao Liulang went to Hanlin Academy, Xiao Jingkong followed Laojijiu to Guozijian, as for Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, naturally they went to Qinghe Academy.

  Now there are two carriages in the family. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun used a carriage. Xiao Liulang and the three got into Liu Quan's carriage. Liu Quan first sent the first child to the Imperial College, and finally Xiao Liulang to the Hanlin Yard.

  Gu Jiao went to the hospital, and she received a letter from Xue Ningxiang.

  It has been half a year since Xue Ningxiang's letter to her last time, but after reading the content of the letter, Gu Jiao understood why Xue Ningxiang's letter came back so late.

  Xue Ningxiang's mother-in-law passed away, just the third day after Zhuang returned home on Tuesday.

  Gu Jiao once showed Xue Ningxiang's mother-in-law that she was declining and aging, and her body organs were exhausted. It was not something that drugs could reverse. It was not easy to hold on until her son came back to see her last.

  She went in her sleep and walked peacefully.

  Zhao has the Dingyou system. The elders in the family have to stay at home for the deceased after at least one and a half to three years. On Tuesday, Zhuang is just a soldier, not in the ranks of Dingyou's team.

  But the funeral of the mother-in-law must be handled in good health. On Tuesday, Zhuang asked his companion to ask for leave, and he stayed in the village and buried his mother-in-law.

  This is what happened in spring. Now the summer is almost over. It is logical that Zhuang will come back on Tuesday, but another big event happened-Dean Li of Tianxiang Academy actually came to kiss Xue Ning.

  Seeing this, Gu Jiao was really surprised.

  Xue Ningxiang is not talking about everything with her, but she has never mentioned Dean Li and herself.

  Of course, this cover has the original explanation.

  It turned out that when she and Xiao Liulang were still in the countryside, Dean Li had already met Xue Ningxiang several times, and was chased by the dog and called Daddy.

  Gouwa is a babbled child who doesn't understand what father means. When other children call father to an adult man, she probably thinks that all these men are fathers.

  This is Gu Jiao's own understanding.

  Xue Ningxiang did not explain specifically, only that the dog was hit by Mrs. Li later, and that Mrs. Li was getting older and didn't know her well enough, and he regarded the dog as his little grandson.

   Dean Li is a good person, has friendship with Xiao Liulang's family, and helps Xue Ningxiang get out of the siege. Xue Ningxiang couldn't bear the sadness of the old man, so she made a mistake.

  Who knows that after that time, it was out of control. Mrs. Li asked her grandchildren every other time, and she even regarded Xue Ningxiang as her daughter-in-law...

   Dean Li told Xue Ningxiang not to misunderstand, Xue Ningxiang really did not misunderstand, but he would come to propose marriage...

  Gu Jiao knew that the trouble was coming when she saw this.

Sure enough, at the end of the letter, it was written that on Tuesday Zhuang had a conflict with Dean Li, and on Tuesday, Zhuang had a fight with Dean Li.

  On Tuesday, Zhuang is a soldier, and Dean Li is a literati. It is conceivable that this one has suffered more.

  Tuesday Zhuang's thoughts about Xue Ningxiang Gu Jiao had long noticed it, but Dean Li's thoughts were not known until today because of her lack of opportunities to discover.

  It's not difficult to explain why Xue Ningxiang's handwriting has improved so much, and his literary talent has also improved by leaps and bounds, and writing letters does not need to be ghostwritten by others.

  Now Xue Ningxiang has a headache. She said that she wanted to shave her head to be an aunt, but she was reluctant to bear the dog's baby.

Gu Jiao can vaguely understand Xue Ningxiang's troubles. In this era, the tolerance for women is very low. Xue Ningxiang is a widow, and her second marriage was originally criticized. Besides, she is not marrying Dean Li, who is the wrong householder, or violates it. The ethical program is always strong on Tuesday.

No matter how you look at it, it is a dead move.

  Unless she can bear the gossip, obviously she can't bear it, otherwise she won't want to become a monk.

At the end of the letter, he talked about the medicine mountain. The medicine mountain has been opened up, and the medicinal materials specified by Gu Jiao have been planted by the villagers under the leadership of Luo Lizheng.

  Gu Jiao tapped her fingertips on the table a few times, and took the letter to the palace.
