Chapter 17, The Name of Snooping

After Shen Muqing left the lotus pavilion in white clothes, she turned to the elder brother's study.

It has been a month since he came back, and he has not been filial for many years away from home, so he first went to worship his ancestors, and then went to pay his respects to his parents and brothers every morning and evening.

Then I visited the homes of relatives of various ethnic groups, participated in several family banquets, and even accompanied my father and brother into the palace to greet the saint.

The first emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, the country was in turmoil, border wars were frequently tense, and he also saw countless bitterness and public grievances during his time outside.After returning, he immediately reported to his father and brother what he had seen and heard with his own eyes, hoping that they would be able to report to the court.Give help to ease public grievances.When I came to the study, I was about to knock on the door, but I heard my father's slightly low voice from inside.

Suspicion flashed in his eyes, didn't his father go out just now?Back so soon?
When I was hesitating whether to go in or leave, my brother's voice came again.

He didn't want to hear it at first, but with his sensitive ears, he could hear movement a few meters away with a little attention, let alone such a short distance.

"Just now I wanted to meet the Holy Majesty, but I was blocked by the guards around the Queen Mother." The voice was deep and hoarse, a little old, and it was the voice of Prefect Shen.

"Father, can you fold the words of the second brother into a memorial?"

"Memorial! Hmph, I'm afraid I'll be cut off before I reach the imperial court." Prefect Shen angrily knocked on the table heavily.

"Father, don't be impatient, and don't get angry."

"Poor Majesty is young, the court is completely controlled by a woman, I am really ashamed of the late emperor's entrustment."

"Father, don't be sad. Now that the Demon Empress is in charge of the government, the people are turning a blind eye to their difficulties. It won't take long, and it will definitely arouse public resentment."

"What is Prince Xiao doing recently?" Taishou Shen sighed helplessly, thinking of Xiao Yanling again.

"His whereabouts are mysterious. I don't know where he lives? I heard that the Empress Dowager intended to keep him in the palace, but he refused."

"Hmph, the demon queen's intentions are clearly revealed. How can someone like Prince Xiao submit obediently?"

"Father, should we go find Prince Xiao?"

Shen Muqing didn't listen to the next words, but left in front of the study with a solemn expression.

Back in his room, Shen Muqing walked to the window and looked up at the sky.

The sky is blue and white, the sun is shining brightly, but the mood is extremely heavy.

Listening to what my father and elder brother said, is the current Yuxiao Dynasty really that bad?
Then, how should the common people survive?
It has been more than a month since the border was in an emergency, but the person to be appointed has not yet been decided. Do you really want to give up the great rivers and mountains and be invaded by foreign enemies?

Unexpectedly, the centuries-old history of the Yuxiao Dynasty would be destroyed in the hands of a woman!

Isn't that so sad?

No wonder his father and brother were so depressed, even he was depressed.

After seeing all the things in the world, the thought has already been deeply ingrained in my heart.

If there is no country, there is no family. If the country is destroyed, relatives will be in crisis.

A good man should go through fire and water for his family.

Now that I'm back, I have to share my worries with my father and brother.

After thinking this way, my heart became hot, and I turned around and stepped out of the door, walked through the long corridor, and went directly out of the door.

Ride on the horse and walk away.

The prosperity of the country is everyone's responsibility, and he cannot just sit idly by.

Night always comes quickly, and there are all night birds on the big sycamore tree, and black shadows pass by, disturbing the sleeping birds.

Before the innocent bird could make a sharp sound, it was hit by a blow from the air, and it instantly "fainted to death", and fell to rest in peace with its eyes closed on a large open palm.

Xuanji carefully put it back into the nest on the branch, his cold face couldn't be seen clearly in the night.

Depressed in my heart, my master does not overturn the fence, but he likes to build a climb.

"Xuanji, why hasn't she rested yet?" Xiao Yanling's charming, long and narrow fox eyes actually shone with a strange color in the night.

It's almost midnight, why is the light on in her room?

"My lord, is Second Miss Gu waiting for you?" Xuanji rarely joked, he really couldn't figure out the master's heart more and more.

Is it not easy to come during the day?If you insist on getting quiet at night, if you don't sleep, you still don't care if others don't sleep.

"Xuanji, are you complaining about me?"

Xuanji staggered on the soles of his feet and almost lost his footing.

"My lord, my subordinates dare not."

"Then why are you making fun of me?"

Xuanji swore that he would never dare again.

"The subordinate is wrong."

"Her skin color will be spoiled like this, and her eyes will also leave shadows. Tomorrow, you will send her the king's beauty cream. Go back tonight."

They haven't seen each other since that day.

Xiao Yanling is such a proud person, how could he bow his head first.

But after waiting for a few days, he couldn't restrain himself.

When he couldn't sleep at night, he took the current action: Occupying the bird's nest at night, in order to spy on the beauty.

I don't want to break the mystery, Prince Xiao, the majestic Yuxiao Dynasty, actually has to be called a spy in order to meet the woman he likes.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous if people in the world knew about this?
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Wushuang woke up from her sleep. She didn't go to bed until three o'clock when she was reading medical books last night.

She woke up after a big sleep in the morning, so she didn't have to wake up early in the morning to greet everyone like Gu Wuxia.

She is the one who is not allowed to ask for greetings, so she is happy and leisurely.

She also doesn't care about the sarcasm in Gu Wuxia's eyes, she is not someone who doesn't love her mother and doesn't love her, she just gets used to it, the eldest lady and her father don't ask her, and her mother is even more reluctant to let her sleep not good.

"Wushuang, mother doesn't need you to greet me, you can just sleep, even if you sleep in the dark, as long as the master doesn't talk about it, and the eldest lady doesn't talk about it, then it doesn't matter. It's a rule, I will talk about it when you get married. "Gu Wushuang is very fortunate to have such a harmonious and amiable mother.

Mo Rushuang grew up being held in the hands of her family since she was a child. If it wasn't for her father's business loss, the family would decline.It will not be so easy to marry someone to be a concubine.Fortunately, Master Hou was sincere to her, and he gave birth to a daughter with confidence.

It's much better than those aunts and concubines who don't give birth.

Gu Houye was not a lecherous person in the first place, and he had been exposed to the rain and dew of several family members for more than ten years, but later because there were few children.He is no longer taking concubines.Originally, as long as they wanted to leave, he would arrange to send them away.

Originally, Lord Hou is a powerful person, and following him, he can live comfortably.

But he was unwilling to participate in the government. Without the power and glory of the rich and powerful, he suddenly became a little poor and destitute.

Especially after knowing that he was infertile, he didn't continue to favor them.

Holding a meager salary, and occasionally needing support from the housewives to survive, over time, those aunts who are greedy for vanity can't stand it anymore.Needless to say, you need to be frugal, and you have to endure loneliness.Who can stand it!

So a few who couldn't stand the loneliness proposed to leave.

Gu Houye naturally gave the letter of divorce to save face, and the first lady and the second lady are naturally happy to see the result.

Wouldn't it be great to lose a few who competed with them for mastery!In this way, in just one year, all the aunts and concubines left.

There is only one little aunt who is timid and born in poverty.

This year is only the age of the blooming season, only a few years older than Gu Wuxia and Gu Wushuang.

 Child time: 23.00 late at night to around 01.00 am
