Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 130
Apart from this small episode, today's flower viewing banquet at the princess' mansion went smoothly.

The guests and the host enjoyed together, everyone gathered together to talk and laugh, and the scene was indescribably lively and prosperous.

It's just...it seems a little too lively.

Gu Caiwei stood in the crowd, seeing how these people fit together so well, and a casual word could make everyone laugh. She always felt that such a scene was so unreal.It felt like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water to her, and it would disappear with a little touch.

I don't know when this feast ended. When Gu Caiwei bid farewell to Princess Taiping and left, Princess Taiping took her to explain: "You are living in Luoyang these few days. When you are free, I will arrange for Seventh Brother and Meet the Marquis of Changning."

Gu Caiwei nodded in agreement.

"By the way, when you look at Anle today, what do you see? Why is she hiding like this all the time, even refusing to give you her pulse?" Princess Taiping immediately asked again.

Gu Caiwei smiled. "Young lady, you always have to be strong. In fact, she has no major problems. It's just that she doesn't eat for the sake of looking good, and starves herself to the point of being too weak. She should be afraid that you will teach her after I say it, so she did it." It will be like that."

"Is it really just like this?" Princess Taiping didn't believe it.

Gu Caiwei smiled slightly. "Princess, you know how hard the life of King Luling's family in Fangzhou was. Now that they have returned, they definitely don't want to recall the humiliating days in Fangzhou. In this case, let's Why bother stabbing their hearts with knives? The most urgent thing is to let them gain a firm foothold in the court quickly."

Princess Taiping stared at her deeply for a long while, and then guarded her eyes. "Forget it, I'll just take what you said is true."

Gu Caiwei hurriedly bowed her head and saluted, then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

, Returning to the chariot and horse hall, Du Juanqing was already standing there.Immediately, Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan came back.Unlike the two elders, these two little fellows were all smiles, extremely happy.

"Father and mother, Erlang really misses us too! You see, this is a gift he prepared for us!" Du Yi excitedly raised up the small basket in his hand, so that they could see the baskets inside. All kinds of gadgets.

Gu Tianyuan also said with a smile: "He also likes the dagger we personally made from the iron mine in Yongxing County, and put it away as precious as a treasure. We also made an appointment. , must give him more and better things!"

"Really? Then you just want to be happy." Gu Caiwei nodded, and hurriedly took the two little guys into the carriage.

On the carriage, the two of them talked to Gu Caiwei about what they saw and heard when they played with Xue Chongjian just now.

There are quite a few guests who came to the mansion today, among them are many young ladies and gentlemen, including royal family and nobles.From their mouths, Gu Caiwei roughly knew that these young gentlemen and ladies were also divided into factions - of course they were the Wu faction and the Li faction.

Although the children of the two factions were all arranged in the same place, they played on their own and did not play with the children of the other faction at all.Even Princess Taiping gave birth to the children of the Xue family and the Wu family respectively, and the boundaries between these brothers and sisters are clearly defined.

"By the way, there's also Princess Anle, she's so fierce!" Du Yi suddenly added.

Gu Caiwei's eyelids twitched immediately. "Why is she so fierce? I thought you didn't meet with you today."

"It's true that we haven't met her face to face, but Erlang has met her, and more than once!" Gu Tianyuan said hastily, "Erlang told us that Princess Anle has a very bad temper, and we can tell at a glance. Spoiled. And she doesn't like children very much. Regardless of Xiao Langjun and his wife, she has a look of disgust. Last time the princess took Erlang and the others to the East Palace as guests, Princess Anle was very polite to them on the surface, but in private she And secretly pinched Erlang several times!"

"There is such a thing?" Gu Caiwei frowned slightly.

"Growing up in Fangzhou, all the conditions are not so good, she can develop such a ferocious temperament, then when she returns to the capital of God now, she will explode if she is complimented like a star." Especially since she has such a pretty face... I'm afraid this little lady will cause a lot of trouble in the future!" She whispered to herself.

When Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan heard the words, they didn't really believe it.

"Isn't she just a little lady? No matter how arrogant she is, when she grows up and chooses a son-in-law, then the person who endures her bad temper will be a son-in-law. What does it have to do with others?"

"You guys are thinking about it. These days, if a little lady becomes bad, she won't be much worse than a man." Gu Caiwei said softly, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see later!"

Just thinking about it like this made her feel depressed—as expected, this court full of calculations was really not her favorite place.She still longs for the happy days when she was flying freely in the rivers and lakes.

But now that Du Juanqing was tied to her side, she couldn't fly even if she wanted to.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and when she returned to the house, she beat Du Juanqing up.

Du Juan was puzzled. "Someone bullied you in the Princess House? Who? You tell me, I'll help you get revenge!"

"No one, I'm just in a bad mood." Gu Caiwei said coolly.

Seeing this, the beaten man couldn't get angry with her either.Now he has to take the initiative to come over and pat her on the back with one hand: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. By the way, on the way back, I heard you and Ayi and the others say that Princess Anle is here? What's wrong with her? You are in a bad mood today, but it's because of her? "

"Actually, Princess Anle is a trivial matter. I just feel that the lively and bustling scene in front of me is fake. I'm afraid it won't last long and it will fall apart. I don't know what troubles will happen then! As for Princess Anle... "

Gu Caiwei thought about it, but she still told Du Junqing the truth. "Princess Taiping asked me to check the pulse of the concubine and others today, so that I could get in touch with them, but Princess Anle disagreed. The more she disagreed, the more I couldn't help but look at her more. And guess what I found?"

"Did she do something with others in private, for fear of being discovered by you, so she refused to show it to you?" Du Juanqing guessed.

"No, it's more serious than you think." Gu Caiwei whispered, "I see that her complexion is pale, her eyebrows are sparse, and her legs are weak when she walks. This is a symptom of kidney deficiency. If there is no accident, her There should be a child in the womb not long ago, and the month is not too young."

Du Juanqing's face immediately changed.

"What about the child? She...was born?"

"It looks like it should have been beaten down forcefully." Gu Caiwei's voice darkened.

Du Junqing was speechless for a moment.

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Based on my observation, the child is at least five or six months old. She was beaten out in the mother's womb. It's hard to say whether she will live or die in the end. If it is seven months old, she will be beaten when she was born." If you take a good student to take care of it, there is still a chance of survival. But if it is smaller, or if it is thrown away after birth, then [-]% of it will not survive."

After a pause, she added in a low voice. "Just looking at Princess Anle's attitude of not saying a word about this child and trying her best to conceal it, she is [-]% eager for this child to die quickly!"

"If that's the case, why should she be pregnant with her?" Du Juan asked in a low voice.

"Who knows about this? Maybe it's for a moment of pleasure, or maybe one day she suddenly has a hot head and wants to have a baby for fun?" Gu Caiwei smiled helplessly, "Speaking of which, the world is so unfair. How many people spend their lives Eat vegetarian food, pray to Buddha, build bridges and pave roads and do all good deeds, but they can’t get a child. Some people do a lot of evil all their lives, and finally have a lot of children and grandchildren. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately felt her body fly into the air, and Du Juanqing hugged her up!

She was so scared that she hugged his neck quickly. "What are you doing?"

"Don't you want to have a baby? Then stop beating around the bush and talking so much nonsense, let's hurry up and create a human!" Du Juan said in a clear voice, carried her directly to the bed, and began to create a human!

Gu Caiwei instantly lost all thoughts of hurting the spring and the autumn.The room was soon filled with soft singing of men and women.

After meeting Mr. Xue Erlang, Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan, who were satisfied after seeing Mr. Xue Erlang, embarked on the journey back to Yongxing County together.Gu Caiwei and Du Juanqing temporarily settled down in Luoyang.

During the period, Princess Taiping made a proposition and organized several gatherings, and Gu Caiwei would go there every time.Du Juanqing naturally did not fall behind.

Soon, they were all labeled as princelings.

only……

In private, Du Juanqing often complained to Gu Caiwei about the prince. "This person is too soft-tempered. He has already been named a prince, and he will be the emperor of my Tang Dynasty in the future, but he doesn't look like a prince at all. He holds the left and right guards in his hands, but he doesn't know how to use them. He is always trying to curry favor with the Wu family. Just now, how long after they came back, the prince has already married many of his sons and daughters to the Wu family!"

indeed.Less than two months after the prince's family came back, Princess Xindu was betrothed to Wu Yanhui, and Princess Yongtai was betrothed to Wu Yanji... Almost all daughters of the right age were sent out and married by the prince!There are also several concubines of the emperor's grandson, all of whom were selected from the Wu family and people closely related to the Wu family.

These are all obvious things, of course Gu Caiwei already knew about it.

She sighed helplessly. "These marriages are naturally approved by Her Majesty the Empress. Her Majesty wishes that the Wu family and the Li family will be on good terms for generations and live in harmony forever."

"This can only be her beautiful fantasy. Let alone the Li family now, the Wu family may hate the Li family!" Du Junqing snorted softly.

Because of the fact that the empress brought King Luling back to be the crown prince, Wu Chengsi, king of Wei, suffered a serious illness and passed away just a few days ago.He is the pillar of the Wu Family!
Although after Wu Chengsi passed away, the Wu family immediately stood up and Wu Sansi took over his position, and he did a good job-after all, the Wu family had the queen's protection. The mess in Si's hands is still easy.

Now, the Wu family must have blamed Wu Chengsi's death on the prince's family - if they hadn't returned, how could Wu Chengsi have died?Even if the crown prince quickly betrothed his prostitute daughter Princess Yongtai to Wu Chengsi's eldest son, the new Wei Wang Wu Yanji, this move would certainly not be enough to appease their anger.It's just that the prince and his party have just returned, so it's inconvenient for the Wu family to have a fit.

"How many members of the royal family surnamed Li did the Empress kill in order to ascend to the throne? She didn't even spare her own son. I'm afraid the Li family has been killed by her." Gu Caiwei said helplessly.

But Du Juanqing shook his head. "Not necessarily all of them."

Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows immediately. "Did you see someone different?"

Du Juan nodded. "I went out for a walk these days and met a young gentleman. Although he is not very old, he has a lot of knowledge in culture and martial arts. I have talked with him several times, and I have a deep impression on him."

When Gu Caiwei heard this, she immediately became interested. "Who is that? Is it the prince's son?"

"It's the son of King Xiang, the one who ranks third under King Xiang's knee, King Linzi, whose name is Li Longji." Du Junqing replied.

Gu Caiwei frowned. "I've never heard of that name."

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. When the queen ascended the throne and exiled King Luling's family to Fangzhou, although King Xiang was saved, he ended up sacrificing two beloved concubines. Since then, their family has been imprisoned." In the palace, it is impossible to meet outsiders. Now it is all thanks to Mr. Di Ge. Mr. Di Ge persuaded the Queen to bring the Luling King’s family back, and then the Xiangwang’s family was lifted from the ban and was able to come out to meet people It's gone." Du Juan said slowly.

Having said that, he couldn't help twitching the corner of his lips. "Little Langjun is only 13 years old, and he has been imprisoned in the palace all year round, but his knowledge and conversation are very good, even far surpassing many Xiaolangjun of the same age. From this, it can be seen that even if he is imprisoned in The palace did not give up on itself either. Now that he has been released, he will become a great weapon in the future. This is enough to show that there is still hope for the royal family of Li Tang!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, the corners of his mouth were raised high, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked proud.

When Gu Caiwei saw it, she couldn't help but get excited.

"If this is the case, then we can still look forward to it. It's just... the third son of King Xiang, his identity seems a bit far away."

"It's okay to be a virtuous prime minister if you're not a wise master," Du Juanqing said.

"That's true." Gu Caiwei nodded.

only……

Seeing this person so excited, Gu Caiwei felt inexplicably sour.

She is jealous.

Moreover, what he ate was not the jealousy of other girls, but... this country!
That's right, seeing Du Juanqing caring so much about the country's affairs, and even seeing Li Tang's royal family rejoicing so much, she was jealous.

She grew up in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and has been under the influence of her grandfather all year round. She is not interested in those official positions and money.But Du Juanqing was different. He was the successor of Jingzhao Du family and famous minister Du Ruhui, and his loyalty to the Li Tang Dynasty was rooted in his bones.Even though the Duke of Lai's mansion has fallen into disrepair, and even the country name has been changed to Wu Zhou, deep down in his heart he still hopes that the royal family of Li and Tang can regain their strength.In order to achieve this goal, he is willing to give his all!
In fact, in detail, they are indeed inappropriate.But why did they come together?
If someone else told her - I will fight for the world of Li Tang's royal family!She would definitely kick him away with one kick and let him stay where he was cool.But now it was Du Juanqing's turn...but she was reluctant.

Knowing that if she leaves this place, she will be able to get back on track immediately, and she can still live a chic and happy life.But just thinking about the absence of Du Juanqing in such a day, she suddenly felt empty in her heart, unable to move her feet no matter what.

Du Juanqing was excited for a long time on his own.After finally calming down, he realized that Gu Caiwei's face was not very pretty.

He's not stupid, so naturally he immediately figured out what was going on, his heart tightened instantly, and he quickly grabbed her hand.

Gu Caiwei regained consciousness. "what are you doing?"

"Just let me be self-willed once, okay?" Du Juanqing looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, with a cautious expression.

Gu Caiwei looked at him quietly. "Willful what?"

"It's the matter right now. Help the royal family restore orthodoxy, and bring the Great Tang Dynasty back under Li's control." Du Junqing said in a deep voice.

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips and remained silent, Du Junqing also lowered her eyes. "I know that my actions are considered ridiculous by others. After all, with my current status, if I don't have the iron mine as my backer, I won't be worth mentioning among so many nobles in the court. But as a descendant of the Du family, I have been deeply influenced by my ancestors since I was a child. Now that my family and country have been overthrown, especially a group of trash surnamed Wu is still eyeing this position, I always feel bad. In this case, I must do my best to get everything back on track. "

"But!" Immediately, he grabbed Gu Caiwei's hand even tighter, "After everything returns, I won't care about it. I will wander the world with you, and we can go wherever you want, okay?"

"Can you keep your word?" Gu Caiwei asked softly.

Du Juan nodded firmly. "Yes! Of course I can! From the beginning to now, when have I ever lied to you?"

"You haven't said enough?" Gu Caiwei complained angrily, "From the moment I opened my eyes in this body, you pretended not to notice that I had changed. Later you dug another A pit for me to jump into! I’m still at the bottom of the pit and haven’t climbed out yet!”

Du Junqing was speechless for a moment.

"This... I have no other choice. Who told you to think about leaving all day long?"

Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth. "Then don't keep saying that you haven't lied to me! I don't know what virtue you have?"

Du Juanqing lowered his head in frustration, like a big dog who was reprimanded for doing something wrong. "I'm wrong."

Only then did Gu Caiwei snort in satisfaction.

"Besides, this is clearly another hole you dug for me right now! It seems that there are only two things to do to get rid of the Wu family and restore the Li Tang royal family, but once you take action, it's more than just doing these two things. ? Needless to say, the time spent in the middle is less than ten or twenty years!"

So, after so long, this guy is still digging holes for her, and digging deeper and deeper!

Standing at the bottom of the pit, she could barely see the scenery outside.

Du Juanqing's head dropped even lower for an instant, but the hands that wrapped her tender pussy did not loosen a bit.

When Gu Caiwei saw this, what else could she say?
Helplessly sighing, she could only pinch his arm hard. "Take this as a lesson for you to trick me again!"

She exerted so much strength that Du Juanqing gasped in pain.

But when the pain was over, he immediately raised his head and smiled at her: "You are so kind to me."

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Don't you dare to do whatever you want because I treat you well?"

Du Juanqing laughed dryly again, and quickly hugged her.

The days in Luoyang passed quickly, and before I knew it, autumn passed and time entered winter.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and those who are keen to hold various banquets have finally stopped a lot.But Du Juanqing didn't relax because of this, because - the day when he promised the Queen to give the improved Mo Dao is not far away!

Moreover, that time in Chang'an, after he presented the new arrowheads to the empress, the iron mine also began to work overtime on casting arrowheads, just waiting for a batch to be sent to the border before the arrival of winter.In this way, if the Turks come to fight again, the border soldiers will be able to fight a beautiful battle!
So he was very busy all day long.Every time there was a message from Yongxing County, he didn't have to sleep all night.

It was so easy, on this day in October, a new Mo Dao was delivered!
After Du Juanqing got it, he immediately went to the palace to present it to the queen.

If there are no accidents, the empress should be very happy, and reward him heavily!Gu Caiwei thought to herself.

However, when Du Juanqing came back from the palace in the afternoon, his face was icy cold, and even his whole body was covered with a deep black air.

He is angry!And he was very angry!

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei frowned slightly, and she hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Your Majesty thinks this Mo Dao is not good enough?"

"No, Your Majesty is very satisfied. The Minister of War and others are also full of praise after seeing it. Because of this, Your Majesty directly promoted me to be the General of You Xiaowei, and rewarded me with a cart of jewels." Du Juan replied coolly.

That's a big deal!Why is his face so ugly?

Then it could only be that something else happened when he entered the palace, and it was still closely related to him!
"Is it the Wu family? What did they do?" Gu Caiwei asked in a low voice.

Only then did Du Juanqing speak slowly: "They recruited many skilled craftsmen from all over the world, took them to the iron mine in Yangxin County, and ordered them to work overtime. First, we made [-] arrows in half a month. , and even now the arrows have been sent to the defenders at the border!"

Having said that, he looked up at Gu Caiwei again. "After the things were delivered, they informed Her Majesty the news of the news—moreover, they specially chose today as the day when I entered the palace to present the Modao."

When Gu Caiwei heard this, she couldn't help feeling angry and bloody in her heart.

"Wu is so shameless!" She cursed angrily.

Even though they had stolen their design, this group of people dared to make the arrow before them and send it away.Then, he deliberately chose this time today to ask Her Majesty the Queen for credit.If they didn't do it on purpose, Gu Caiwei wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.

She could fully understand why Du Juanqing's face was so ugly.

"What about Your Majesty? How did she react?"

"Your Majesty is naturally in a good mood when he sees that the sons of the Wu family are finally promising, and he praises them again and again." Du Juanqing said.

Gu Caiwei's heart sank heavily. "And then? Back then, you showed her the improved arrowhead yourself!"

"Then, His Majesty took pity on me for working too hard to make the Modao, and even supervised the craftsmen making arrowheads, and rewarded me with a cart of jewels." Du Juan replied coldly.

The implication is that he intends to use this cart of jewels to silence him and make him accept the reality!
Her Majesty's heart is indeed too far.

Gu Caiwei is so angry now. "Can a carload of jewelry buy out the efforts of so many craftsmen? In her eyes, are we so cheap?"

Du Juan pursed his lips and remained silent.

And at this moment, Du Ren came in again.

"Master Hou, the Prince of Xin'an sent you a greeting card."

"He still has the face to post for you?" Gu Caiwei laughed angrily, "They are really shameless!"

When Du Juan heard the words, he stretched out his hand directly. "Bring it to me and have a look."

Du Ren hurriedly sent a greeting card.Du Juan opened it and looked at it, the corners of his lips suddenly curled up slightly.

Gu Caiwei saw it in her eyes, and a touch of surprise appeared in her heart. "What did he say?"

Du Juanqing handed the post to her casually.Gu Caiwei took it over and took a look, and she couldn't help laughing: "Say they are shameless, but they really carried out the shameless spirit to the end! Learn from us how to rectify mines, how to make arrows, and even now they want to make even more Have you learned all the skills of Xinmodao? Their appetite is really big enough!"

As she spoke, she threw the post casually. "You can't spoil them. Especially the technique of making Modao, you must not teach them!"

"If you don't teach them, won't they steal?" Du Juanqing only said.

Gu Caiwei's face darkened again.

But she immediately found that the corners of Du Juanqing's mouth were getting higher and higher - he actually smiled!

Gu Caiwei immediately noticed something was wrong.She quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Be honest, are you still holding back?"

"That's needless to say?" Du Juanqing immediately nodded.

Gu Caiwei narrowed her eyes slightly, and heard this man say: "When I was in Yongxing County, I once had a chat with masters such as Ou Shenzi and Fufengzi alone. I know from them that ordinary craftsmen always leave something on top of them. It is a mark that belongs to itself. Especially the supernatural masters, the reason why they can leave other colleagues far behind, besides their own ability is much higher than those people, there is actually another reason."

Gu Caiwei suddenly realized.

She opened her mouth immediately, and said in unison with Du Juanqing - "Open the back door!"

This opening of the back door is naturally not what ordinary people say about taking advantage of their position to seek some benefits for others.In the mouth of the craftsmen, the opening of the back door means that the craftsmen will leave a little flaw in the process of building things, and then make up for this flaw in the subsequent process.After everything is done, the flaws are gone, and most people can't find it at all.

Generally speaking, the process of creating a work is not important, leaving the flaws and then repairing the flaws is the subtlety of the master's skills.

However, if someone wants to secretly create something like this and sell it for money... If he doesn't have the handwriting of a master, and the method of repairing the flaws is not in place, then something will happen when the thing is really useful!

This is like two scholars writing an article together, and one of them has a good literary thinking and writes a pen.The other person has mediocre talent, but he is unwilling to be stepped on by the other party, and then he came up with the method of plagiarism.It just so happens that he has no other skills, only one advantage of fast writing.Therefore, while the other party was writing, he was copying, and then he handed in the paper before the other party handed in the paper!
He thought that if he was the first to hand in the paper, he would definitely win.But I never thought that the person with great writing and thinking had already left a trap when he wrote the article.Just wait for the other party to finish copying, and then add another stroke, so as to fill in the previous trap.But even though the plagiarist handed in the paper first, the examiner could tell at a glance that there was a problem, and he couldn't pass it himself.

In this way, it is useless for him to hand in the paper first, as it can be seen as plagiarism at a glance!
This is the same reason as Du Juanqing and the others opened the back door.

Therefore, even though he was angry after discovering that the Wu family copied their arrowheads and made them to send to the border, he didn't explode on the spot, but just accepted the reward from the queen and went home.

However, now seeing Wu Chonglie impatiently coming to show off his might, he still couldn't hold back the disdain deep in his heart, and smiled gloatingly.

Gu Caiwei was also in a good mood for an instant.

With a cry of joy, she quickly jumped up happily, and jumped onto him again, her hands wrapped around his neck, and her feet wrapped around his waist.Then she kissed him several times on the cheek. "I knew it, my man is the most powerful! How could you stand by and watch Wu Zhen take all the credit from us!"

Du Juanqing hurriedly hugged her, and there was a smug look in his brows and eyes. "That's natural. I know the virtues of people with the surname Wu, so I prepared myself early. So, let's wait and see!"

"That's right!" Gu Caiwei nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

However, after only a few clicks, she suddenly became dizzy and her stomach twitched. Did she want to vomit?

Quickly pushed Du Juanqing away and jumped down, she ran to the corner and retched, but she didn't spit out anything.

When Du Juanqing saw this, his face immediately changed greatly - this change was much bigger than the moment when Wu Chonglie triumphantly asked the queen for his reward.

He stared at Gu Caiwei stupidly and vomited for a long time before asking in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Let me ask a doctor to come and take a look at you!"

When Gu Caiwei heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and stared back at him. "You idiot! Fortunately, you took care of your elder sister!"

Du Juan blinked. "What does this have to do with my sister?"

Liuli on the side couldn't bear to look at it anymore. "Master Hou, neither of the lady's monthly letters has come!"

"Yuexin hasn't come for two months? Is that because of illness?" Du Juanqing said subconsciously.

But immediately, he reacted.

His face was full of ecstasy in an instant, he hurried over and carefully hugged Gu Caiwei, and said: "Du Ren, you have rejected the invitation of Xin'an County King. By the way, tell him that this Marquis will be very happy next time." I'm busy, I don't see anyone, and I don't care about anything!"
