My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 61
"Brother, please get up quickly!" The young emperor Zhao You took the lead in walking in front of Zhao Qian, and helped him up affectionately with both hands, his face was full of excitement, "I wanted to take my brother back a long time ago, but Father's imperial edict must not be violated, until today we brothers can meet each other!"

King Zhao Qian of Yue replied with a look of sincerity and fear: "I thank the emperor Long En, I thought I would never be able to return to Beijing to reunite with my family in this lifetime!"

"Brother, what are you talking about, you can come to Beijing every year for the concubine's birthday and my special permission!" Zhao You said with a big laugh.

But many people present felt that the emperor had something to say, and the implication was that without the emperor's dispensation and the concubine's birthday, the king of Yue would not be allowed to enter Beijing.

Several old officials in the hall all looked at the King of Yue, Zhao Qian, at the same time. This prince has been very ambitious since he was a child. If it weren't for this, the late emperor would not have crowned him a king early and sent him to a barren land like Qingzhou When the first emperor was in power, he would use various methods to suppress the vassal kings in various ways, both openly and secretly. Even when the first emperor passed away, the king of Yue and the vassal kings from all walks of life were not allowed to enter Beijing to observe the funeral. The country will suffer.

It’s just that the old officials are not very popular with the young king nowadays. Regarding the entry of King Zhao Qian of Yue to the capital, they, who were loyal to the first emperor and the court, strongly opposed this move, but the emperor refused to listen, saying that it was the first emperor who only said three years after his death The vassal princes are not allowed to enter the capital, but they can be granted a license to enter the capital after three years.

This is clearly leading wolves into the house, but the emperor didn't know it, and the veterans could only shake their heads. The capital will not be safe now.

Look at the prince of Yue who shocked the entire hall when he came. Many people witnessed Gu Jingcheng's death in battle that day, and his body was carried back to Beijing. How could there be another living "Gu Jingcheng"?But no one has heard that the Gu family gave birth to twins!
Zhao You also turned his gaze to the three young men kneeling on the ground, and then passed the son of Yue Prince Zhao Wei and the second son Zhao Lian, and said to the man in white robe, "Raise your head!"

The man raised his head according to his words, and he didn't feel afraid because of facing the Ninth Five-Year Lord. On the contrary, his expression was calm, and the arrogance between his brows could not be concealed. His face was exactly the same as that of Gu Jingcheng who had died in battle.

However, Zhao You didn't like his humble but provocative eyes very much. With just one look, he knew that the person in front of him was not Gu Jingcheng, but the king of Yue suddenly brought such a person into Beijing, I'm afraid it was not out of good intentions. .

"Brother Emperor, is this your son too?" Zhao You deliberately smiled and turned to Zhao Qian and asked.

At this time Zhao Qian had already met the Empress Dowager, because Concubine Su was old and unwell, so she did not attend the palace banquet tonight, but Zhao Qian had already visited her first after entering the palace.

Zhao Qian also had a smile on his face, and replied: "Your Majesty, this is Song Qinglun, the adopted son of the minister." Then he looked around the hall with doubts, and asked in puzzlement, "It's just why everyone? Do you call 'Gu Jingcheng' when you see him?"

Zhao You raised his eyes slightly and looked at Song Qinglun's face again. He didn't answer Zhao Qian's question immediately, and signaled the eunuch to carry the fainted Mrs. Guo to the side hall for the imperial doctor to treat her, and then walked up with the empress dowager, empress and others Walk to the dragon chair and phoenix seat in the middle of the hall and sit down.

"Brother I don't know, Gu Chang Gu, the son of the country, has a son, Gu Jingcheng, who unfortunately died in a battle with the third prince of Xia Kingdom three years ago, and your adopted son and Gu Jingcheng are very similar in appearance, not just similar It can be said that they are exactly the same, but it is a pity that Mrs. Gu has been seriously ill at home these two days, and now Mrs. Gu has fainted again. I also want to ask if the Gu family had twins at the beginning." Emperor Zhao You raised his hand to let Song Qinglun, Zhao Weisan When he got up, he looked Song Qinglun up and down again. Except for his face, this person was not the same as Gu Jingcheng.

Even the emperor, who only saw Gu Jingcheng a few times, could detect the difference between Song Qinglun and Gu Jingcheng, let alone someone like Xiao Chen who was most familiar with Gu Jingcheng.

He glanced at Song Qinglun lightly, wondering why Song Qinglun and Gu Jingcheng looked exactly the same, could there really be such similar people in the world?
"Oh? This is really strange. Qing Lun was brought up by Master Minghui, an eminent monk who retired from Konglai Temple since he was a child. Before Master Minghui passed away, he entrusted him to me, and I adopted him as his adopted son. He has been growing up in Qingzhou Yes." Zhao Qian didn't lie about this, he also just learned that his adoptive son looks like Guozi Jijiu's dead son, no wonder some people saw Song Qinglun's expression as wrong after arriving in the capital.

"Looks like I have to ask Master Gu and Mrs. Gu!" Zhao You then sent someone to ask Mrs. Guo if she woke up, and then sent someone to Gu's house to ask if Gu Chang, who was sick in bed, had any other sons.

Guo soon woke up in the side hall, she was too excited to see Song Qinglun, the emperor allowed her to stay in the side hall for a while, and then asked her if she had given birth to twins.

As a result, Mrs. Guo shook her head frequently and said that she only gave birth to a son named Gu Jingcheng and a daughter named Gu Xiruo. She and Gu Chang were in love with each other, so the Gu family did not even have a concubine. It is said that Gu Chang has no other sons besides Gu Jingcheng.

When everyone heard the news, they were even more surprised. Could it be that there are people who look exactly the same in the world?Or is it that the person named Song Qinglun in front of him has changed his face?

"They look so similar, even if they are not close relatives, they are probably related!" Some people have already begun to speculate about Song Qinglun's life experience.

"Maybe it's a child left behind by the Gu family, Mr. Gu—I'm afraid I'm too embarrassed to say it!" Some of Gu Chang's colleagues also whispered.

"Not telling the truth is the crime of deceiving the king!"

……

Faced with more and more discussions in the hall, Wen Shi, Lei Yingying and the others were most worried about Lin Shuran at this time, so when they completely saw Song Qinglun's face that resembled Gu Jingcheng, they all turned to Lin Shuran nervously, But she found that she had nothing to do with her face, she slowly picked up the celadon teacup in front of her, and began to drink tea calmly.

"Sister Ran, are you—are you okay?" Lei Yingying turned her body sideways to block Lin Shuran's probing eyes. She was afraid that Lin Shuran would faint like Guo Shi, so she moved closer to her and asked cautiously. look.

"Sister Ran—" Wen called her softly with worried eyes. She knew better than anyone else how deep the relationship between her daughter and Gu Jingcheng was. Maybe Lin Shuran had already left with Gu Jingcheng.
