After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

"Dear ones?" Gu Xiaoen thought of the family members in Sanhe Village, and a bitter taste welled up in his heart.

Think of Cheng Wang again.

When I saw him for the first time, the man's eyes were red and his face was full of exhaustion, probably he hadn't slept for several nights.

Could this person be his father?
"Xiao Qi." Not far away, Pei Sheng stood there. He had been here for a long time, and he got a little impatient.

I really don't understand, just a few words, how can it take so long.

The man's vinegar jar was overturned, and he was sour.

He clearly knew that Gu Xiaoen would no longer be a threat to him, but he still couldn't help but mind and wanted to guard her.

Qi Qi heard his voice and looked over, couldn't help sighing.

"I'm going back, see you again when I have a chance." Qi Qi said goodbye to Gu Xiaoen.

"Okay, let's go, he's been waiting impatiently." Gu Xiaoen looked at Pei Sheng, the smile on his lips was really far-fetched.

Qi Qi smiled, didn't explain any more, turned around and let out a sigh of relief, and left...

Gu Xiaoen watched her back until the two met, and then watched the two leave side by side until they disappeared around the corner.

Leaving the small courtyard, the two slowly walked in the big manor. In April, the large tracts of farmland in the manor had been planted with crops, which looked green and full of vitality.

"Come to the capital with me." Pei Sheng wanted to say it a long time ago, but he must have dared not mention it because he was afraid that she would refuse.Now, at the end of the day, I have to ask.

Qi Qi's heart twitched slightly, Kyoto, she naturally wanted to visit it too.But it doesn't feel right to go with him.

"No, let's go home, there are a lot of things at home." Qi Qi declined with a smile.

Pei Sheng was a little disappointed, and said unwillingly, "Your third brother won the first prize this time."

"No. [-] scholar? Really?" Qi Qi exclaimed immediately after hearing this. She had forgotten about the third brother's scientific examination these days, and never thought of asking Pei Sheng about it.

"Well, he has already entered the Hanlin Academy, and I heard that he is also favored by Song Cifu, and he wants to give him his daughter-in-law, so that he can marry two surnames." Pei Sheng still approves of this marriage.

Song Cifu has always been a royalist, which is very good.

"Song Cifu? The Song family." Qi Qi knew nothing about the power in the capital.

Pei Sheng understood and chatted with her about the Song family.

The Song family is also a long-established family. After hundreds of years, it has survived three dynasties and is still active, which shows the farsightedness of the people in power of the Song family.

It seemed that he really valued Qi Moxuan, otherwise he would not have allowed him to marry as a concubine daughter, and Qi Moxuan's status as a concubine would be enough.

Qi Qi listened, and couldn't help feeling proud, her third brother was indeed the best, and the Song family had vision, not bad.

"Then did my third brother agree?" After Qi Qi got excited, she couldn't help but worry again. The other party's family background is so good, her third brother won't feel burdened and dare not agree, right?

Pei Sheng raised his eyebrows.

"Really refused?" Qi Qi said anxiously, his heart skipping a beat.

Pei Sheng shook his head, "No."

"Hey, then you are out of breath and don't answer, you are really desperate." Qi Qi gave him a hard look.

"But I didn't agree either." The corners of Pei Sheng's lips curled slightly.

"Hey, you really are." Qi Qi laughed angrily, "Please tell me directly, what's the situation? Why didn't my brother refuse or agree?"

"He said about marriage, it's good to have two surnames. He needs to discuss it with his parents and his younger sister. The younger sister he mentioned is you, right?"

Qi Qi couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard a warm current welling up in her heart.

"Yes, it's me." A little proud, what's going on.

"Then, why don't you go to see the capital?" Pei Sheng took the opportunity to tell his plan.

Qi Qi was slightly stunned, then smiled, "There's no rush, I'll go home first and then make plans."

Hmph, Xiao Mian, after talking so much, it turned out that she was here waiting for her.

What's the matter with saying rejection on the mouth, but a little sweetness in the bottom of my heart?
Looking at her smiling face, Pei Sheng could only smile helplessly and shake his head in the end.

Well, he let the bait go, but the little daughter-in-law didn't take the bait, so she had to think of other ways.

Fortunately, there is still a part of the way back to the same road, so let's make plans.

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, a long convoy drove out of the manor, surrounded by guards, which was very spectacular.

You don't have to rush back like you did when you came back, the carriage was driving at a constant speed, and it was very pleasant to see the scenery along the way and tease the children from time to time.

Hey, this is life.

After Qi Qi and the others left, Gu Xiaoen stayed in the manor for another three days, and then took the three attendants arranged by Pei Sheng on the way back to the country.

He wants to go back to find the truth, and then... guard his persistence.

As soon as Gu Xiaoen appeared in Datu territory, King Cheng immediately got the news and rushed over without stopping.

"Slap!" With a slap, Gu Xiaoen was really dazed.

"Where have you been? Can you stop acting recklessly!" Cheng Wang's eyes were bloodshot, with serious dark circles, and he looked much older than before.

Seeing King Cheng like this, the little anger that Gu Xiaoen had just raised dissipated in an instant.

"I'm sorry, Father."

"You." Cheng Wang was a little surprised, and then a huge surprise and touch swept over, and tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, okay, let's go home, you've been suffering outside these days, let's see if you dare to go out and run around..." Cheng Wang chattered, took the handle himself, and pushed Gu Xiaoen back.

The slightly twitching corners of his lips and trembling hands all showed his inner unrest.

This is the first time the son has called his father the king in the two years since his return.He didn't know what happened to his son going out this time, but the result was undoubtedly good.

Gu Xiaoen's eyelids drooped slightly, covering the complexities in his eyes. It turns out that taking the first step in some things is not as difficult as imagined.

Prince Cheng's Mansion was as magnificent and heavily guarded as ever, but he no longer felt that it was a luxurious cage.

It turns out that when the heart is free, it is free wherever it is.

"Come on, eat more of your favorite sweet and sour fish." At the dinner table, Cheng Wang personally picked fish bones for Gu Xiaoen, and the degree of doting on the child was really shocking.

"I, I'll come by myself, father and king, you can eat too." The benevolence and filial piety etiquette that Gu Xiaoen has accepted since childhood is really difficult to accept Cheng Wang's behavior.

He backhandedly served Cheng Wang with vegetables, causing Cheng Wang to sigh repeatedly, the child has grown up.

Gu Xiaoen curled his lips, what is the standard for King Cheng to define a child.

The meal was a bit warm, but it was also really awkward.

After dinner, the two came to the main room.

King Cheng asked where he had been these days.

Gu Xiaoen pondered for a while, and said with a serious expression, "Father, please let them all retreat."

When King Cheng heard this, the smile on his face faded, and his expression also became serious, "Okay."

Waved to get everyone around to back off, "What do you want to say?"

Gu Xiaoen looked up at him and asked, "Father, am I your son?"

"Of course you are." Cheng Wang replied firmly.
