Crown Jewels

Chapter 112 Pingkangfang Sangsang

Gu Jun heard that this time she raised her eyebrows, and with a wave of her plain hand, Sang Sang retreated knowingly.

Gu Baozhu was thinking about what Sangsang said just now, and Jiang Hong and his son went to Pingkang Fang together...

In her mind, she suddenly recalled the scene at the banquet.

Jiang Hong bowed his waist, the fine cloth stretched out the soft flesh of his waist, and he was eager and attentive to Jiang Shan.

Behind the bead curtain hanging outside the gazebo, Sangsang's figure has gone away but never completely left, just waiting quietly outside the waterside pavilion.

Seeing Sang Sang receding, Gu Jun looked at Gu Baozhu again and took a sip of tea.

"Baozhu, those words just now—"

"You listened, do you have anything to say?"

Gu Jun spoke in a leisurely tone, but her expression was extremely calm.

He didn't rush Gu Baozhu's answer, but just waited quietly with extra patience.

Seeing Gu Jun asking her thoughts again, Gu Baozhu was startled and suddenly regained consciousness.

"aunt--"

Pursing her lips, although Gu Baozhu was puzzled on the surface, she secretly gave Jiang Hong eye drops in front of Gu Jun with a familiarity.

"Baozhu feels that a person's talent is really important."

"But if the virtue is too corrupt, the character is bad!"

"It may be the aunt's help in rectifying the court, but it may also be driven by nature—"

Do things that endanger the country and the court.

In the end, Gu Baozhu didn't say anything to death because Jiang Hong had saved his aunt, but the meaning of what he said was obvious.

"Auntie, Baozhu still doesn't quite understand—"

"The gun is such an important weapon, why doesn't my aunt hold it in her own hands?"

"After all, no matter how others are, they are not as credible and reliable as you are, right?"

It is a fact that the firecrackers of Yan State were sold.

Although in that dream, Song Yan went to Turkic to negotiate.

In that posture, Yan State should have an absolute advantage, but that kind of business that is not on the table is always a hidden danger.

The hot air of the tea enveloped Gu Jun's eyebrows and eyes, making it hard to see clearly.

From Gu Baozhu's point of view, Gu Jun lowered her eyelids slightly, and raised the teacup to the corner of her lips.

She seemed to say something in a low voice, but Gu Baozhu didn't quite hear it.

However, when the dense tea mist dissipated and the Empress' eyebrows and eyes really appeared, Gu Baozhu knew it in his heart.

Regarding this matter, I am afraid that my aunt does not want to delve into it.

Gu Baozhu understood, concealed his disappointment, and prepared to change the subject.

Seeing her expression, Gu Jun raised her eyebrows and suddenly changed her mind.

"Orb—"

The familiar Youyou tone came, and instantly pulled back Baozhu's mind.

"As the princess of Nanping, you have to understand."

"Whether it is as the helm of the country or the leader of a fiefdom."

"When you are not fully sure, you have to remember."

"You are not only the highest authority in this country or fiefdom, but you are also the person that the common people of the world ultimately rely on."

"You still need-"

"Responsible for them!"

When the quiet and cold tone fell, Gu Baozhu's heart turned slightly.

For a moment, she seemed to understand something, but she didn't seem to understand anything.

The pavilion suddenly fell into a deathly silence, only the sound of koi jumping and splashing remained.

Neither of them spoke.

Gu Baozhu lowered her head halfway, thinking carefully about the deep meaning of Gu Jun's words.

I don't know how to remember that I am the person with the highest authority, but also remember that I am also the person on whom all the people in this world rely on in the end.

She recalled Gu Jun's attitude just now.

When she heard that Jiang Hong looked down on women like that, her aunt, who had always paid attention to this way, didn't say yes or no.

Is it difficult?
What the aunt meant was... Gu Baozhu's brain was spinning rapidly, looking for a credible excuse.

If the bargaining chips in your hands are not enough, it is best to put aside the dispute first from a constructive perspective, and then slowly figure it out.

If you really wait until you have enough chips in your hand, you won't be afraid of the opportunity for someone else to give you a tell.

Everything, in the final analysis, requires the word of sinking patience.

The vague guesses in his heart slowly took shape, the more Gu Baozhu thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

Gu Baozhu quickly raised her head and looked towards her aunt, just in time, Gu Jun also happened to look over at this time.

Seeing the expression in Gu Baozhu's eyes, Gu Jun raised her lips and smiled softly.

But she raised her hand casually, preventing Gu Baozhu from blurting out her words.

"Not in a hurry--"

"The days to come are still long, you can imagine more, don't tell me in a hurry!"

"However, before that, Aunt hopes that Baozhu can do something for me."

Gu Jun's tone was flat, such words came out of her mouth, but it seemed like gossip.

"Aunt—" Gu Baozhu's pupils shrank, "Auntie, please advise—"

Seeing such a modest attitude, Gu Jun secretly nodded.

"Baozhu, I hope that you can be my eyes outside the court—"

Gu Jun's tone was leisurely, and his words became more forceful, and he looked at Gu Baozhu with a bit more seriousness.

"Outside the court...eyes?"

Gu Baozhu murmured something in a low voice, and vaguely guessed from his observations.

But...she doesn't understand, with her current ability, what can she do for her aunt?
However, Gu Jun ignored Gu Baozhu's bewilderment, and 3 did not rush to explain, she stretched out her plain hand, and gently shook the long yellow rope in Fan's hand.

"Jingle Bell--"

The bead curtain hanging outside the gazebo swayed slightly, and the bell on it rang softly.

Seeing this, Sangsang who was waiting outside quickly bowed into the gazebo again.

Gu Jun nodded slightly, rubbing the golden armor on the little finger of her right hand with her index finger, with playfulness in her tone.

"Orb—"

"Even if my aunt is conceited, I have to admit that the court is still dominated by men."

"And between men, those flamboyant things—"

"It has been decided, sometimes, the place where we can get the most information."

"It's not a serious banquet, an occasion to discuss matters calmly."

Gu Jun shook her head, with a slight snort from the corner of her lips.

"It's the wine and meat Chilin, when the dancing girl and diva are with her—"

"That's when those self-proclaimed decent men can let their guard down the most."

"And in Pingkang Square, the men who smell like each other are just sitting there."

"Wait until the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors."

"They looked at each other a few times, and they knew what kind of goods they were."

"The quality of the wine depends on the quality of the character, which is the custom in Fengyue occasion."

"At that time, it will be easy to say anything naturally, no matter how strong the mouth is, it can be pried open."

After saying this, Gu Jun drew back the corners of her lips and played with it.

She looked at Gu Baozhu, who seemed to understand but half understood, and her words were a little more serious than before.

"Orb—"

"I am going to hand over Pingkangfang to you."

"Aunt hopes that you can be my other eye—"

As soon as Gu Jun finished speaking, Sangsang, who was waiting beside her, trembled slightly, and her head drooped even lower as she nodded.

But out of the corner of her eye, she secretly looked at Princess Nanping who hadn't said a word.

"aunt--"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Gu Baozhu hurriedly got up with an unspeakably complicated expression.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and the most profound picture was that night's dream that seemed like a previous life.

In the Turkic tent... that lonely and humble princess Gu Baozhu.

A rare breeze blows outside the gazebo, making the curtains of the beaded curtains jingle.

The melodious sound of bells lingered in my ears, and when Gu Baozhu looked up again,
At this moment, the hesitation in the woman's brows has completely dissipated, the tails of her light eyes are slightly raised, and her red lips are full of firmness.

"aunt--"

Gu Baozhu stood up resolutely, called out to the empress before him, and bent down to bow and kowtow without hesitation.

Her movements were full of seriousness.
