"It's true." Jia Jun nodded, "The prince and even the filial people will be very happy if they can really grow herbs."

"That's for sure," Gong Liang said, "Although it is difficult for this vanilla to grow a strong fragrance in other places, as long as you can see this vanilla, the prince will be very happy."

"Gongliang, I haven't been to Shouzhou yet. Are there any rumors and allusions in Shouzhou? Let's hear it."

"Shouzhou used to be an ancient battlefield. Hundreds of years ago, there was the famous Battle of Feishui. There are still ancient sayings, such as [the wind is rumbling] [the grass and trees are soldiers] [throwing the whip to stop the flow] [go gambling villa] and so on." Gong Liang, Zhou Shixiong and Jia Jun talked about all kinds of things about Shouzhou, which fascinated Jia Jun, who seldom went out of Beijing.

"What?" Defang asked in a little surprise, "Is there something wrong in the house?"

"There is nothing wrong with the mansion, but the empress asked several times why you haven't returned to the mansion yet."

Defang breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that Madam is worried. I have a lot of things to discuss with His Majesty today, so it's a bit late."

"My lord, General Gongliang and General Zhou are back."

"Oh? When did they return to Beijing?"

"You and His Highness the Prince entered the palace shortly before they returned home."

There are some things to talk about, so tell your mother, father." Go back to the dormitory later and let her rest earlier."

"Father King" Wei Xu said, "Empress Mother is already worried about you, why don't you go to see Mother first and then go to the study."

Defang smiled, "It's just that I'll be back later, anyway, if I'm late, I'll be chanted a lot, hehehe, well, hurry up and say hello to your mother, my father will return to the dormitory soon."

"Yes. Yes, Father"

Defang patted Weixu's arm, turned around and entered the mansion, and went straight to the study. On the way, he told Baili, "Let Gongliang and Shixiong go to the study, you don't have to go, go directly to the dormitory, and take care of Mrs. Ke'er to rest early." .”

"The little one still has to take care of you, the prince, as long as the empress has something to offer."

"Too much talk, do it." Defang pushed Baili, "Hurry up."

"My lord, my lord." Baili looked at De Fang's back and sighed, "Don't let me follow, whoever brings the tea and water will come to me again, and if you don't hear me, you will talk about me again." Muttered a few words Then I went to work.
