The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 48 Another reward is coming
Qi Chengjun took the emperor's reward and the reciprocal gifts from the ladies of the palace to the outskirts of the capital, knocked on the door of Qi Chenglang's room, and with his surprised look on his face, he pushed him into the room with a palm.

"Big brother..."

Qi Chengjun slapped him in the face and roared in a low voice: "You bastard, how dare you come to Beijing without being summoned? I'll beat you to death today!"

Qi Chenglang squatted down and held his head skillfully: "I haven't entered the capital yet..."

"You dare to quibble!" Qi Chengjun slapped him a few more times, making Qi Chenglang look even more weak, helpless and pitiful.

Head Guard Geng in the next room looked puzzled and looked at Fan Cong: "Here, Qi San Guards..."

Fan Cong smiled very kindly, waved his hands and said: "Relax, relax, it's not a big deal, or the employer comes to visit, and we will have business again when we go back."

Is that so?Geng Biaotou remained a little skeptical...

The next morning, Qi Chenglang got on the horse with one blue eye. With the emperor's consent, Qi Chenglang and Fan Cong took off their masks after crossing the boundary of the capital. From then on, they had the identity of a bodyguard.

As the saying goes, spring sleepiness, autumn fatigue, summer nap, and sleepless winter in March. When the weather in Mobei gets cold, Gu Yuzhi becomes a little sleepy. When he wakes up every morning, it is almost the end of Chen time. Fortunately, there is what Qin Yuanjian said. , Chen Dianyi didn’t say he was lazy.

But he didn't know what happened that day. As soon as Chen Shi arrived, he opened his eyes, glanced at the snowy night balled up next to the pillow, stretched out his arm to test it, and then shivered: "It's so cold. ah."

Xue Ye opened her eyes and rolled around him, and one person and one wolf suddenly became a mess.

Aunt Xu heard the noise and hurriedly walked in. She whispered outside the bed curtain: "Your Highness, are you awake? Are you about to get up?"

Gu Yuzhi held Xue Ye and turned over. When he saw the dark sky outside the window, he yawned: "No."

Nanny Xu has been with him since he was born, so she naturally knows how to persuade him. She smiled and said: "There is news from the front yard that Guard Qi and his entourage have arrived outside Changzhou City. They will definitely return home at noon today."

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuzhi sat up suddenly, opened the bed curtains and said happily: "Really? Did Xie Changshi go to greet her? He must have brought a reply from his mother and concubine."

He did some calculations and found out that it had been more than a month since Guard Qi left without knowing it: "It must have snowed in the capital. I don't know how my mother-in-law is doing. I don't know about the fox skin I gave her this time." Is it enough to make a piece of clothing?”

He wrinkled his little face and sighed like a young adult: "In the past two years, there was always not enough silver charcoal in the palace. I don't know if Brother Huang will notice this this year."

When my father was there, my mother and concubine were not favored. They lived in a side hall and there were no earth dragons. It was very difficult to live in winter.Mammy said that it was after he was born that the mother-in-law's life became easier. By mixing silver charcoal and ordinary charcoal, she could cope with the winter.

He knocked his head: "I'm so stupid. This time Guard Qi returned to the capital with a return gift. I should have asked him to buy more silver charcoal in Hedong."

Hedong is rich in silver charcoal, and the purchase price is naturally much cheaper than other places.Aunt Xu was waiting for her to get dressed and said, "Your Majesty is now the Imperial Concubine, and there are empresses and empresses who are always taking care of her. Naturally, the palace people do not dare to cut off my beauty. Your Highness, please rest assured."

"Xie Changshi went to the Yamen. There was progress with Guard Zhang. He left a message to the old slave, saying that the emperor had agreed to open the escort bureau. Guard Qi would first send something back as the head of the escort. The queen must have Write a reply to His Highness, and when you see Guard Qi, Your Highness will ask how his mother is doing."

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head and understood that Xie Changshi was telling him to calm down and wait until the people from the escort agency left before going to the front yard.

He rolled his eyes with a smart look on his face. Aunt Gu just said that she was going to send something back. Did the Emperor give him a reward based on his merits?
Gu Yuzhi covered his mouth and snickered. Hehe, he was going to have money to put into the warehouse again. He hoped that the emperor could understand the meaning of his reply and give him more silver and less cloth and jewelry...

The next moment, Gu Yuzhi thought that he would not be able to see these things for the first time, so he pursed his lips again, gestured to Aunt Xu, and said in distress: "When will I grow up?"

After the Qi Prefect reported the matter that day, Xie Changshi mentioned the possibility that the owner of Li Ji Trading Company should be a prince. In order to avoid exposing his identity prematurely, he did not dare to go see the escort agency when it opened. He heard from the guards in the mansion that it was very lively. , the firecrackers were set off for two quarters of an hour.

Aunt Xu consoled her: "Your Highness has grown a lot taller. If your Majesty sees it, she will definitely be very pleased."

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head and put the handkerchief on his face. After getting up early, he felt sleepy. Gu Yuzhi returned to his previous liveliness. After having breakfast, he went to school. Following him was a nine-year-old boy. The child, named Mingli, was chosen by Xie Changshi as his companion. Of course, the name was given by him.

The meaning is very simple. I hope his companion can understand the truth and be able to help him manage his fiefdom in the future.

Mingli neatly arranged Gu Yuzhi's writing desk, quietly polished ink aside, and then practiced calligraphy with Gu Yuzhi. After a moment, Chen Dianyi stepped in and started today's teaching.

It wasn't until three quarters past noon that Chen Dianyi finished teaching. After arranging his homework, his usually calm face also had a bit of a smile: "Your Highness, Guard Qi has returned and should be waiting in the main courtyard now."

Gu Yuzhi jumped up and pulled Mingli out: "Mingli, come on, come on, my mother-in-law must have given me a reply. By the way, you haven't seen Guard Qi yet. Guard Qi is very tall. He is taller than everyone in the house." Everyone is tall, so I want to be this tall in the future.”

A trace of helplessness flashed across Mingli's face, but he still speeded up his pace slightly to make Gu Yuzhi feel more relaxed.

Walking around the verandah, Gu Yuzhi saw Qi Chenglang's tall back at a glance. Just as he was about to speak, he turned around. His originally bronze skin turned dark, and he smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth...

Gu Yuzhi didn't think it was anything at first. After all, it was normal for Guard Qi to turn dark after living in the open air during this period. Who would have thought that Teacher Shu would exclaim: "Which coal mine did my handsome Guard Qi escape from? I couldn't bear to tell him. I can’t bear to look at it!”

Gu Yuzhi knew that Teacher Shu admired Guard Qi very much. When they first met, he called him a man or something, and said a lot of words that he didn't understand but knew were compliments.

Suddenly hearing what Teacher Shu said, Gu Yuzhi quickly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from laughing out loud. His anxious mood calmed down inexplicably, and he stepped forward with a very steady step: "Guard Qi, you are back."

Qi Chenglang knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission and returned safely with the return gifts given to you by the emperor and the ladies of the palace."
