Splendid spring returns

Chapter 67 The Three Girls

In any case, this is finally good news. It shows His Majesty the Emperor's care for Prince Duan's Mansion and his love for Gu Changting.Although it hurts because of his elder brother's early death for the country, but if Gu Changting hadn't won the sacred heart, the prince's title would have been given to you so easily?

After everyone thanked you, Xue Yan said to Gu Changting: "My lord, oh no, I should call you prince, lord, the emperor asked you to enter the palace in the afternoon to discuss something important."

Gu Changting held the imperial decree, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, it's hard work for my father-in-law to make this trip."

"What's the trouble with the miscellaneous family? It's the prince, who still needs to mourn. The emperor is old now, and there are only a few people he can rely on, the prince, the fifth prince, and you. Especially this time, Prince Duan died in battle. The iron hooves are raging on the border, the emperor is sad and worried, he has not been able to eat well or sleep well these few days, I am afraid that you will have to rely more on the prince in the future, you must not fall down."

"Yes, my father died in battle. I will definitely inherit his will and do my best to assist the emperor and share his worries."

Prince Duan's mansion and the royal family can be regarded as close relatives, so there is a bit of sincerity in these words, but they are not all polite words.

At noon, Gu Changting had lunch in Xin Nian's Qingliangyuan. After the two of them finished eating, Xin Nian changed him into the palace clothes and asked, "The emperor wants to discuss something important with you at this time, I don't know what it will be. You think about it yourself, and if you can handle it, do it. Don’t hold on to the embarrassing things. These days, you feel uncomfortable, and I see it."

"It should be for the command of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The king of Nanping said he was sick and resigned. After inspecting the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the emperor seemed to intend to hand over the command to me. After returning to Beijing, he received the news that his father died in battle. , it has been delayed for more than a month, and it is probably time to re-discuss the candidate for the leader."

Xin Nian was speechless: "There are 20 people in the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing, but they shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the capital. They are full of elite soldiers and good generals. The emperor actually wants to hand over the power of command to you? No wonder you attacked the prince, I didn't know It turns out that there are rumors that Prince Duan's son won the holy family, but he still underestimated you, this kind of favor is no less than that of the prince."

Gu Changting said with a wry smile: "Yes! The emperor really regards me as his own. It is difficult to repay this kindness even if you are smashed to pieces. So...you will know how hard it is for me when you think about it."

Xin Nian nodded, and sighed: "Others only see your beauty, but don't know your situation. It's hard to repay your kindness, but you can't let it down. Sigh! The prince's title is really not that easy to get."

Gu Changting stretched out his hand to lick her hair on the temples, and said softly: "Ten thousand taels of gold are easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find. I never expected that you would know my difficulties after we have been separated for several years. It's worth it. The road ahead is full of dangers, and I am finally not alone."

Xin Nian stared at him, and said softly: "I dare not say anything else, but in this life, I will share weal and woe with you, never leave."

"Okay." Gu Changting nodded heavily: "Then I'm going into the palace."

"Go, come back early."

Xin Nian sent him to the door, and after watching him leave, Fang turned around and went back to the room, only to see Xinghua pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I listened to what Grandpa and Grandma said, it was really touching. So this is love as deep as the sea?" Strange way, since the ages, countless infatuated men and women have tossed and turned to make a life-and-death promise for a word of love."

"How can you say so evil? It's just that you marry a chicken and follow a chicken and marry a dog and follow a dog. I'm already his in this life."

Xin Nian said lightly.After speaking, I saw Xinghua sticking out her tongue, and said in a low voice: "Your maidservant made a mistake, I thought my aunt would be annoyed if I said this. Before doing it differently, you would never hear such a thing."

"At this moment and at that moment, I have left the Qingliang Pavilion, so I don't want to hear anything."

Xin Nian smiled, and suddenly heard Xinghua whisper again: "Auntie, I really feel that the master seems to have a deep affection for you. You said, if Miss Yao suddenly came to the palace at this moment, the master...should... at most be to her... Does it look like this to you?"

Miss Yao?Yao Yutong?

Xin Nian was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but stop, recalling that beautiful and cold face of peaches and plums, she shook her head: "How come? Don't you know? The more you can't get it, the more you will miss it, the more you will miss it. The longer the time, the figure in my heart will become the moon in the sky, the more unreachable, the more I yearn for it."

Xinghua curled her lips, and said in a low voice, "That's not necessarily true, I've never seen my aunt miss Mr. Tan so much."

Xin Nian gave her a blank look: "You are getting bolder and bolder, you dare to say anything. The situation between me and Tan Feng is different from that of Gu Changting and Yao Yutong. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes." Xinghua nodded, stretched out her hand to caress her heart, and thought to herself: No wonder my aunt said that I am getting bolder, it is indeed bold, but now my aunt is becoming more and more peaceful, she didn't scold me.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a timid voice behind her: "Xin... Aunt Xin."

"Ok?"

Xin Nian and Xinghua turned around at the same time, and saw a slim young girl standing outside the courtyard gate. She couldn't see her face clearly because her head was lowered. Changting's daughters, but besides them, where else...

Thinking of this, Xin Nian's heart suddenly moved, and he called out tentatively: "Is it the third girl?"

"Isn't it? The third girl doesn't look like this." Xinghua looked at Xin Nian suspiciously: "We only met the third girl this morning."

"It's the third girl from Aunt Qin's courtyard."

Only then did Xinghua suddenly realize that Xin Nian had already stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Why did the third girl come here?"

"Auntie..."

Gu Yunxiang couldn't help but looked up, but quickly lowered his head again, choked up and said: "My mother... no, Aunt Qin...she...she's probably going to die, I...I don't know who to turn to I have to ask you, is it... is there a coffin for her? Can't... can't even have a coffin, right? She... is also the concubine of the father..."

Xin Nian was stunned, Aunt Qin and the three girls used to be invisible people in the mansion, not to mention that these days they were busy with the old prince's funeral, who would care about them?
Xin Nian had previously ordered the kitchen to bring some light and digestible food to the courtyard, so don't be careless.It's just that she had never been in contact with the mother and daughter since she entered the backyard. She mentioned it casually at the time, but she never thought of it later. Who would have heard such a sad news when she saw the third girl for the first time.

"This...how is it so good? It's about to die? This...what's wrong with Aunt Qin? Have you invited a doctor? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it before?"

A tinge of pain surged up in Xin Nian's heart: the palace has just finished a funeral, is it possible that Aunt Qin is going to follow in the footsteps of the old prince?This is too tragic.
