Splendid spring returns

Chapter 242
"Siniang, we...are we really going to never see my mother again?" Gu Yufan looked up at Xin Nian with her little face, wiping away her tears with her hands: "We...what do we want to do with our mother?"

Xin Nian glanced at Gu Mingchun: "Learn from your fourth brother. If you want to get something out of a stepmother like me who has a heart as solid as stone, you have to learn to speak softly and show weakness. I felt pitiful in my heart, so I I will tell you well."

After speaking, he touched Gu Yufan's head and said leisurely: "It's probably been a tough time in recent years. But as long as your mother lives long and when you grow up, won't you be able to go to your grandfather's house casually? By then, won't you be able to see your mother? Kissed."

"If you don't have good intentions, my father will definitely be angry if we go to see my mother. You... you are trying to sow discord between us and our father."

Gu Yujiang suddenly spoke angrily.Gu Yufan tried his best to pull him but he couldn't hold him back, but Xin Nian smiled and said: "Young master, you think too highly of yourself. If I want to stir up trouble, do I need to attack you children? Besides, is your father the real one? A man is not a chicken with a belly like your mother. As long as you are old and capable, you can go see your mother if you want to. Not to mention that the prince will not be angry, so what if he is angry? Your affection for your mother is actually Isn't it worth the fear of your father? If the family relationship is really just that little, I don't think so."

Gu Yujiang was speechless and arrived at Shouning Palace.Xin Nian went in and briefly told the old lady what had happened, only to hear the old lady sigh: "It's still the end of the world, alas! I knew... that's all, my old lady doesn't understand the outside world and can't care about it. I only hope that God will show mercy and allow this palace to survive this disaster safely."

"Ancestor, don't worry. Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision and unparalleled wisdom. Our palace will definitely be able to continue this peace and wealth."

Xin Nian comforted the old concubine for a while, handed the children to her, and then left.

Walking all the way to the garden, it was now the end of late autumn, and the chill was blowing. The grass on both sides of the road was sloping, making it even more desolate. When I looked around, I couldn't see anyone everywhere. It was a royal palace, but somehow it felt a little dilapidated.

It can be seen that Gu Yunxian should not be the boss here. The prosperous and beautiful backyard in the past, look what has become now?I don’t know what Gu Changting is thinking. He has been away for ten days now. Does he really have to wait 20 days to come back?

While thinking about it, he entered the garden.

Gu Changting didn't wait until 20 days before he came back. In fact, he only stayed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing for 20 days. Then he came back in a big way. He ran to the palace first, and he didn't know why he was so miserable. In short, he was reprimanded by the emperor. At least they didn't send him back, so after dusk, he took his guards back to the palace.

Less than two doors away, I already have a pretty good grasp of what is happening in Tianfu these days.Gu Changting stood outside the second door for a while, took the box in the boy's hand, and went to Shouning Palace.

Here in the Qingliang Pavilion, Xin Nianzheng was talking to Aunt Qin and a few children in the Qingliang Pavilion. Xin Nianzheng said: "It's getting dark, so the kitchen should bring food quickly. It gets dark early after winter, and it gets very cold at night. After we finish eating, we go back to the bedroom. There is a fire pit on the floor, so we can stay warm and do our work while talking. "

Aunt Qin nodded in agreement.Here Gu Yufeng said to Xin Nian: "By the way, mother, I came back from school a few days ago and saw my fourth brother and eldest brother walking out of our backyard and into the garden. I didn't pay attention at the time, thinking they were just strolling around. But today at noon when I went to school, My sixth brother and I saw them again, and we said a few words. The fourth brother said that my father would come back in a few days and they would also go to school. He also asked me if it was comfortable to live here? Why don't you move back to the backyard? "

Liu Zai immediately said: "Yes, eldest brother usually doesn't talk to me, but today he told me that we have a lot of houses here. It turns out that we moved here to enjoy the blessings."

Yaya wondered: "Huh? Then why didn't I see the eldest sister? Forget it, I don't want to see her either. I have nothing to say to her. The second and third sisters are fine. Although Aunt Qiu doesn't seem to like me, they speak softly. They even asked me to go and play with them."

Xin Nian smiled and said: "Since grandma left the house, they haven't gone to school these days. They probably came here because they were bored." Aunt Qin said: "I'm afraid they saw Brother Feng and you living well. , want to move here too? Now that they don’t have grandma to rely on, they have to find someone to support them. "

Xin Nian raised his eyebrows and said: "I have a ready-made backer, such a big Madam Yao is waiting there, but they come to rely on me? Don't you know how much they hate me?"

Aunt Qin smiled and said: "Don't underestimate them. As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. Even if the prince's children are raised by grandma for a while, they will not be able to tell who has good intentions. ?”

While he was talking, the woman from the second door came to report that the prince had returned to the house and was heading towards Shouning Palace.

After hearing this, Xin Nian rewarded the woman with five hundred coins. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly burst into laughter. Aunt Qin, who was standing by, wondered: "What funny thing did you think of?"

"I thought of Sister Gu. The prince came back after dusk and went to Shouning Palace again. It happened to be dark now. Sister Gu didn't dare to go to the garden. She couldn't come over to discuss with us. She must not die in a hurry."

Aunt Qin also laughed at this sentence, shook her head and said: "The prince has been away for more than half a month. When he comes back, he will naturally go to pay respects to the ancestors. Besides, the three children left behind by grandma are also there, so we don't have to take a look. , this is normal, there is nothing to discuss.”

After speaking, he said in deep thought: "I just don't know... where will the prince go after leaving Shouning Palace? Maybe my aunt is waiting for the prince?"

"Impossible." Xin Nian shook his head: "Even going to Yuehua Pavilion is more reliable than going to my aunt's place. There is no reason to go home to my sister's yard."

Aunt Qin nodded and said, "Who says it's not the case. So if my eldest aunt wants to be the head of the palace, there are actually many difficulties. The prince is not confused yet."

After talking for a while, and watching Gu Yufeng and Liu Zai writing and reading, when the candle was halfway burning, the woman in the courtyard shouted loudly: "The prince is here."

"Sure enough, it's coming here."

Aunt Qin said with a smile, and stood up with Xin Nian. Yaya hurriedly ran over to help her father open the curtain. She saw Gu Changting coming in despite the wind and snow. When he saw his daughter, he picked her up and kissed her, and said with a smile: " Good girl, I miss my father so much."

When everyone came forward to greet her, he waved his hands. Seeing Aunt Qin's rosy complexion, he felt a little emotional and asked a few questions about how she was feeling.Are you getting used to living there?Aunt Qin was flattered by the questions such as how the food was, and she hurriedly answered them one by one. Then she took a few children out, leaving the couple to talk.
