Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 163
Zhao Min and Yan Bei naturally followed Gu Lingqing to his Xianwang mansion.

After entering, Zhao Min was a little surprised, because although the Xianwang Mansion was large in scale, the scenery in the garden was not much better, not even as good as the Yan Mansion in Liangcheng.

Gu Lingqing could see the surprise in your clever eyes, but she didn't say much. Let's talk about these things in the imperial city with her slowly in the future.

After a day's driving, she was tired even thinking about it, so Gu Lingqing took Zhao Min directly to the house arranged for her, and asked his servants to take Yan Bei to his residence.

Before that, Gu Lingqing had already written a letter and ordered his servants to clean up the Yuting Pavilion on the east side. It used to be the place where the princess lived.

Zhao Min didn't know about these things. Looking at such a big yard, he was flattered for a moment: "I don't need to live in such a big yard, just give me a small house to live in."

Gu Lingqing glanced at Gu Po next to her, and Gu Po retreated knowingly.

At this time, Gu Lingqing stepped forward and took Zhao Min's hand: "You are my beloved woman, and it is not too much to give you the best things in the world, but my current situation in Beijing is not very optimistic. I have been wronging you for a while."

Although she didn't know exactly what Gu Lingqing meant, Zhao Min shook her head lightly: "I'm not the one who covets wealth and honor."

After the two of them had traveled for a day, Gu Lingqing asked Po Gu to prepare some simple meals, and then returned to her yard after Yu Tingxuan had eaten with Zhao Min.

After Gu Lingqing left, Zhao Min looked at the room, it was really too big, and sleeping alone was a bit of a luxury.

Zhao Min sighed, today just this house opened his eyes, and he still doesn't know how many wonderful things are waiting for him in the future.

Zhao Min restrained his thoughts, spread all his luggage on the bed, and prepared to put it into the box in this room.

But when he was packing his luggage, a piece of paper fell out of the bag. Zhao Min picked it up and saw the words Hou Enze written on it.

Only then did Zhao Min remember that Shopkeeper Hou asked him to inquire about his son, so he put the paper away, planning to talk to Gu Lingqing about it tomorrow and ask him to inquire about it.

The next morning, Gu Lingqing woke up very early. She didn't need to go to the palace to return to her life when she came back last night. She must go to the palace today.

Gu Po got up early, and after tidying up Gu Lingqing, she went to the palace with him.
Gu Lingqing and Gu Qi met at the gate of the palace, and they entered together.

It was still early morning time, and Gu Qi went to Zhengyang Hall to participate in the early court affairs.

Gu Lingqing did not have this right, so she had to go outside the Guangming Hall first, and wait for the emperor to come down early.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at Gu Qi standing in front of the hall, his heart was filled with joy, and the joy on his face was irresistible.

Gu Zixing sensed the emperor's good mood, and a flash of displeasure flashed in her heart, but she looked at Gu Qi next to her: "Seventh brother went to Liangcheng to calm down the bandits around, it was really hard work."

"Where is it, it's just a matter of duty." Gu Qi said without blushing.

"This time King Qi went to Liangcheng to calm down the mountain bandits. I will reward you." The emperor said in a good mood.

Gu Qi bowed to His Highness with both hands: "Thank you, Father."

After coming down to court, Gu Zixing and Gu Qi followed the emperor to the Guangming Hall.

Outside the hall, the emperor saw Gu Lingqing standing blankly at the door, frowned, but then smiled, went up and patted him on the shoulder: "Ling Qing is back, how does it feel to go to Liangcheng this time? "

"It's fun." Gu Lingqing only said these two words, but the emperor laughed out loud. Only a child would answer such a question in a funny way.

Because Gu Qi came back, the emperor was in a good mood, and he didn't embarrass Gu Lingqing for a while. After talking to them, he asked them to retreat.

Gu Zixing went out first, stood in front of the door, and quietly stretched out her feet.

Gu Lingqing looked ahead, but she had already seen his outstretched foot from the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to see it and walked straight over.

Seeing Gu Lingqing fall to the ground, Gu Zixing snickered aside, and pretended to step forward to help him up: "Oh, why are you so careless?"

Gu Qi, who came out a step late, was also very angry when he saw this scene. Gu Qi was quite critical of Gu Lingqing because of what happened yesterday, but he couldn't see the prince bullying his brother.

Immediately stepped forward, slapped away Gu Zixing's hand that was on Gu Lingqing's arm, and glared at him angrily.

Gu Zixing patted her hand and glanced at Gu Qi: "It's just a joke, why are you so serious?"

Gu Po, who had been waiting outside the hall, felt the tense atmosphere between the three princes, but she didn't dare to speak. When will it be the servant's turn to intervene in the master's affairs.

After Gu Qi took a look at Gu Zixing, he turned to Gu Po: "Nurse Gu, send your brother back to the mansion first."

Gu Po took Gu Lingqing from Gu Qi's hand, bowed to His Highness the Crown Prince, and took him away.

Gu Zixing glanced at Gu Qi, snorted coldly, and walked away.

But Gu Qi didn't leave the palace in a hurry, and instead walked to Xianshu Hall.

Concubine Xian, who was reading a book on the couch, got up quickly when she heard the servants report that King Qi was coming this way, and when she went out, she saw Gu Qi walking this way, she stepped forward and held his hand, After looking it over, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Emperor, let mother see, why have you lost weight?"

Gu Qi directly helped Concubine Xian go inside, and sat at the round table: "If you can't eat food made by your mother, it is naturally tasteless."

At this time, some servants served several plates of delicate snacks.

"Emiang heard that you came to the palace today, so she specially made it for you."

Gu Qi picked up a piece of almond cake, put it in his mouth, and ate it with relish: "My mother's craftsmanship is still so good. I haven't eaten it in the past few months. I really miss it very much. From time to time in the middle of the night, I still get hungry. Drooling!"

Hearing Gu Qi's words that were obviously coaxing her, Concubine Xian didn't expose him, obviously it was very useful, she glared at him coquettishly: "You child."

"Is there a good student to take care of Ling Qing's child when I go to Liangcheng this time?" Concubine Xian seemed to mention it unintentionally.

Hearing that Concubine Xian mentioned Gu Lingqing, Gu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Naturally, there are good students to take care of, and mother also knows that brother needs more care from me."

Hearing this, Concubine Xian smiled, picked up a piece of pastry next to her, and handed it to Gu Qi: "Try this."
