happy match

With the departure of the third prince, the prince's serious troubles were completely eliminated.The joy in my heart cannot be described in words.According to the prince's mood, it would not be too much to set up the running water mat for several days.

However, the prince has always been cautious and low-key in his actions, and he must maintain the heart and dignity of the dignified prince.Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to do such a foolish thing as celebrating with a feast.In front of people, I still have to pretend to show reluctance, and do all the superficial work.After holding back for a few days, he privately invited a few people who were close to him.

Of course Gu Xinian was one of them.Moreover, it is the one who has the best relationship with the prince and the one who has the best personal relationship and the most trusted by the prince.

After driving away all the servants, five or six people toasted and drank freely, and naturally they didn't have much scruples about speaking.The words of congratulations were endless, and the prince was very happy to hear them. He toasted frequently, and soon became [-]% drunk.

Gu Xinian didn't talk much, but judging from his smiling face, he was in a very happy mood.

The fact that the third prince left the capital to take up the vassal had undoubtedly had a huge impact on the court structure.The emperor is still recuperating from his illness, and the prince acts as an agent of the government. No one can pose a threat to the prince anymore.The will of the people will soon push the prince to the top.All this is just around the corner!

And for him, the deepest shadow in his heart was completely cleared away.In the past few days, he has been extremely relaxed.

Seeing that Gu Xinian was smiling and silent, the crown prince immediately became dissatisfied, and shouted with a smile: "Don't be alone in a daze, hurry up and have a drink!"

Gu Xinian readily agreed.

This kind of wine is of course enjoyable to drink, until the end.Almost none of them could stand up and go home.Fortunately, the prince had already made preparations and ordered people to prepare several guest rooms.Gu Xinian had no intention of staying and insisted on going back: "Qinglan is still waiting for me, I have to go back."

The prince couldn't help laughing, drunk, and he lost his usual cautiousness in speaking: "It's nothing to stay out occasionally, my siblings shouldn't get angry with you because of such a trivial matter! Then her mind is too small! Men, what's the point of always guarding a flower."

Gu Xinian smiled and said: "No matter how beautiful the flowers outside are, in my eyes, they are not as good as the ones at home. Besides, you made a mistake about one thing. She never asked me to go back home every day , I want to go back myself. Staying outside, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to sleep.”

Speaking of this, the prince knew that he would not be able to keep him even if he wanted to, and sighed a little regretfully: "I wanted to have a candle-lit night talk with you. Look at this. I have to send you back home."

Who wants to talk to an old man who smells like alcohol at night by candlelight!Of course it is to go home to accompany my wife and children!

The prince personally sent Gu Xinian out of the mansion.It was already midnight, and under the cover of night, the Prince's Mansion was peaceful and serene.The crown prince and Gu Xinian walked side by side, and asked in a low voice: "That day, the third emperor called you out to talk, what exactly did you say?"

The prince at this time.His eyes were clear, and he didn't look a little bit drunk.

Gu Xinian knew that he would ask this question.He smiled lightly and said: "He was unwilling to lose, and he couldn't bear the face to ask you, so he came to ask me." Of course he would not say everything stupidly.No matter how kind-hearted the prince is, he cannot tolerate the dissenting people around him.What he has done in secret, must not let the prince know.

This answer was reasonable, the prince didn't feel suspicious, but just asked some more details.

Gu Xinian was well prepared.Adding and subtracting, he recounted the conversation between the two of them.Anyway, the third prince has left, and the prince has no chance to confront the third prince.Whatever you want to say depends on Gu Xinian's mood.

The prince listened intently for a while.I didn't hear anything wrong, so I finally felt relieved.

What he was most worried about was that the third prince secretly provoked the relationship between him and Gu Xinian.Governing the country requires a capable minister, and he also needs a powerful foreign family to help him.Therefore, he has to maintain a good relationship with Gu Xinian...

Gu Xinian seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and suddenly said, "Is my cousin not at ease with me?"

The prince felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly explained: "Of course not. If I can't trust you, who can I trust the courtiers? I just..."

Just a little guilty.After all, he had done something to be sorry for Gu Xinian.If the third prince maliciously provoked and planted a thorn in Gu Xinian's heart, it would definitely not be a wonderful thing for the monarch and his ministers to disagree with each other in the future.

Gu Xinian was aware of the prince's concerns, and comforted him with a smile: "The matter of Shen Qiuyu has long been a thing of the past. I don't care about it at all. Why do you always worry about it? To tell you the truth, the third prince Those things did come up that day. I didn’t pick up on it at all, though.”

As soon as Shen Qiuyu was mentioned, the prince's expression suddenly became a little more austere.

The three words Shen Qiuyu were a thorn between them.Even though Shen Qiuyu has been imprisoned in the farm now and can no longer return to the Prince's Mansion, this name is still the deepest pain in his heart.He had also thought about it several times, so he simply let his mother attack her.This knot was completely untied.

But no matter what, he couldn't bear it...

The prince's hesitation and pain were almost written on his face.However, Gu Xinian was not in the mood to comfort him any more, and he did not want to discuss anything related to Shen Qiuyu with him: "The night is already late, you should go back and rest."

The prince nodded, and at the moment he watched Gu Xinian leave, he secretly made an oath in his heart.

Xi Nian, what I owe you will be doubled in the future.I will definitely protect the safety and prosperity of everyone in the Duke's Mansion, as well as your supreme minister!

......

Gu Xinian did not ponder over the prince's complicated and delicate thoughts.After returning to Izumo Pavilion, seeing the gentle and pleasant wife with a smile like a flower, most of the tiredness in my body suddenly dissipated.The whole body relaxes.

Ye Qinglan came over with hangover soup, reproached with intimacy: "Look at you, you smell of alcohol all over your body. Don't drink so much all the time for social gatherings, what if you hurt your body? Pingping and An'an are both asleep, so don't go You're messing with them. I've never seen you being such a father, you're busy outside all day, and you don't even have much time to hold your child when you come back..."

No matter how good Gu Xinian is outside, at home he can only obediently listen to the training.After drinking the hangover soup one mouthful at a time, he went to take a hot bath again, and the alcohol smell from his body finally dissipated a lot.

"The prince specially hosted a banquet today, so it's not as simple as just drinking!" Ye Qinglan asked while wiping his back with a warm towel.

Gu Xinian opened his half-closed eyes, and his thin lips slightly curled up: "The third prince spoke to me alone before leaving, of course the prince must ask clearly." There was a hint of mockery in the words.

Compared with the suspicious emperor, the crown prince is already pretty good.But those who are in the upper ranks are afraid that the courtiers will have different ideas.Therefore, the prince's questioning tonight is inevitable.

Ye Qinglan quickly figured out the reason: "You didn't tell all the truth!"

"Of course we can't tell everything." Gu Xinian replied as a matter of course: "Especially the matter of me and General Shen joining forces to design the third prince, we must never let him know. Although he is kind by nature, no one knows what he will do in the future." Can you maintain such a temper after becoming the emperor? If you become wary of me because of this, the loss outweighs the gain."

To live this life again, he not only wants to take revenge, but also needs to secure a foothold in the court.The trust and affection between him and the prince will be his biggest bargaining chip.Therefore, the prince must never be suspicious of him.

Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly: "It's really exhausting to be intriguing all day long."

The pity and heartbeat in the sigh evoked the tenderness in Gu Xinian's heart.He stared at Ye Qinglan's delicate and beautiful face, and said softly: "With you always by my side, no matter how tired I am, I won't be afraid."

Ye Qinglan felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, and the corners of her lips curled into a sweet arc.She leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips: "I'm getting better at coaxing people. This is your reward!"

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, stretched out his arms to wrap around her neck, pressed her red lips fiercely, and asked for a deep kiss.It wasn't until she was out of breath after kissing that she let go of her with a smirk: "This is the interest, I will reward you later when I go back to my room!"

The teasing and strong hints in the words made Ye Qinglan blush and gave him a hard pinch.

Gu Xinian pretended to cry out, and the husband and wife were bored for a while before they brought up the topic again.

"Now that the third prince has gone to the domain, the prince has no opponent in the court. The court should calm down a bit in the future!" Ye Qinglan said with a smile.

Gu Xinian hummed: "If my predictions are correct, the emperor should already be thinking about passing on the throne."

Hearing such an inference, Ye Qinglan was not surprised.

The emperor was sick, and the prince had been acting as the government official.However, acting as a government agent is not a long-term solution after all, and the country cannot live without a king.If it continues like this, the emperor will not be able to pass on the throne.Thinking about it further, the emperor's determination to allow the third prince to become a vassal is probably out of the consideration of clearing the way for the prince to succeed to the throne!

Ye Qinglan thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever thought that once the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, will he be wary of you in the future because of Shen Qiuyu's affairs?" Down.But after ascending the throne, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were at hand.At that time, will Zhao Yu still trust Gu Xinian so much?

To put it plainly and understandably, the crown prince wouldn't kill a donkey!

Gu Xinian naturally understood the implication of such obvious words, raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Why don't you have any confidence in your husband? Since I dare to do my best to help the prince, of course I am sure that I will not be thrown away at will." The affairs of the household department are complicated. Now that I have taken the position of Minister of the household department, no one can shake me. Within three years, the minister of the household department will retire. At that time, the position of the minister of the household department will be , Who else can I. As long as Zhao  is not in a daze, he must know that it is more cost-effective to win me over than to suppress me!" (To be continued.
