The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 526: Group Pet Jiaojiao (two more)

Today is Xiao Jingkong's fifth birthday, if he was indeed born on New Year's Eve.

It is very brave for a five-year-old child to have such a heart.

"War will hurt." Gu Jiao said, "It will bleed and hurt."

Xiao Qingkong's expression suddenly became tense: "Then... Jiaojiao, are you injured?"

Gu Jiao was dumbfounded for a moment.

I'm scaring you and making you retreat, why are you focusing on me?

There was warmth flowing through Gu Jiao's heart.

It is a feeling that I have never experienced in my previous life, but I have experienced a lot after coming here.

Gu Jiao touched his little head, and shook her head with a smile in his helpless eyes: "I'm not hurt."

"Huh~"

Xiao Jingkong let out a long breath of relief, and after he was relieved, he patted his little chest and said, "I'm not afraid of pain, injury and bleeding!"

I'm afraid there is no Jiaojiao.

He lowered his head, and intertwined a few small fingers.

Xiao Jingkong grew up in the temple since he was a child. The abbot, the abbot, his master and brothers all treated him very well, but there are some things that cannot be made up in the temple.

The vacancy in his life was filled by Gu Jiao bit by bit for him.

Gu Jiao could never imagine how important she was to him.

Gu Jiao bent the corners of her lips: "Qing Kong is really brave."

Xiao Jingkong was so flattered by the praise, he raised his chin and said, "Of course, I'm the bravest little man in the family!"

Gu Yan snorted.

Little fart.

Xiao Qingkong got bored with Gu Jiao for a while, and after being appeased, he happily went to the backyard to practice kung fu with trees.

Without this little trumpeter, the room was quiet, Gu Yan came to the bed and sat down.

Now there are only three of them left in the house, and Xiao Jingkong's combat strength alone is equivalent to a regiment, and the three of them combined are not as noisy as him.

The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

Gu Jiao sat on the head of the bed, looked at the little milk bag Gu Yan was holding in her hand, and said, "This is...brother? How big is it?"

"Gu Xiaobao, call me sister!" Gu Yan lowered his head and said to Gu Xiaobao.

I don't know if I heard my name,

Gu Xiaobao paused in sucking his fingers, looked up at Gu Yan, and then at Gu Jiao in front of him.

Gu Jiao is undoubtedly a stranger to Gu Xiaobao.

However, Gu Xiaobao has a very good temper. He usually doesn't cry or make trouble. When the neighbors come to hug and pinch him, he is very generous.

Gu Yan put Gu Xiaobao into Gu Jiao's arms, he really didn't cry, he just opened his round eyes wide and opened his mouth full of saliva, looking at Gu Jiao without blinking.

Gu Xiaobao is plump, with two lumps of flesh on his face that are heavy, like a little Fuwa.

Gu Jiao looked at his silly and cute appearance, couldn't hold back, and smiled.

Gu Xiaobao has been in for three months, and he actually recognizes people a little. For example, he likes Yao shi the most, and secondly likes wet nurses, after all, they have milk to eat.

When there is no milk to eat, Gu Xiaobao eats his fingers.

However, I don't know if it's because he hasn't met Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaobao was a little confused, so confused that he forgot to eat his own fingers.

In the next second, he stuffed his favorite little index finger into Gu Jiao's mouth, which even Gu Yan was reluctant to give.

The three little men didn't occupy Gu Jiao for too long, because when the little monk went to practice in the backyard, he howled schemingly: "Jiaojiao is awake!"

So Mrs. Yao, Mother Fang, Yu Ya'er, and Lao Jijiu all put down their work and came over.

Gu Jiao dressed neatly, washed up and went to the main room.

Yao Shi and Lao Jijiu sat at the table and looked at her, Fang Nanny and Yu Ya'er stood behind Yao Shi, Fang Nanny kept wiping away tears, crying harder than Yao Shi.

"Mommy, the young lady is back." Yu Ya'er whispered.

Mother Fang choked with sobs and said, "I know, am I not happy? I've been looking forward to it, I've been looking forward to it for so many days, but I finally hoped for him to come back, right? I can finally have a good year."

When Gu Jiao was lying on the inside, Nanny Fang wasn't so excited, but when she saw Yao Shi holding Gu Jiao's hand, her eyes were red, and she couldn't hold back immediately.

Yao shi was still tense, holding back her tears, touched her daughter's cheek, and said, "I lost weight."

Her face was also red from the cold, not as fair and lustrous as when she was in the capital, which shows how much she suffered from the wind and sand in the past three months.

Yao's heart was so distressed that she asked Gu Jiao about the situation in the frontier, Gu Jiao only said that everything was fine, the battle was over, the city was recaptured, the border of Zhao Kingdom was guarded, the old Hou Ye and Princess Ning'an were also saved.

How many soldiers died, what price was paid, how many people were displaced, how many times she escaped from death, these are not mentioned.

Mrs. Yao also knew her daughter's nature of reporting good news but not bad news. She stopped forcing her daughter, smiled, wiped away her tears and said, "For Chinese New Year, don't mention this. It's good that you can come back. Your grandfather and two brothers are both Are you okay?"

Gu Changqing was ordered to go north, and everyone in the capital knew that even though Gu Chengfeng slipped out, he gave Gu Hou Ye a hard time, and Gu Hou Ye looked back and found out that this kid went north to find Old Hou Ye.

Gu Jiao nodded: "They are all very good."

All three were injured, but are recovering well.

Gu Chengfeng was the most beaten and the first to recover.

Gu Changqing's injuries are not serious, and now only the old Hou Ye needs to recuperate carefully, and he will recover with Tang Yueshan after returning to the capital.

Yao looked at Gu Xiaobao who was being held back and forth by Gu Yan, and said to Gu Jiao in a warm voice: "When your grandfather comes back, we'd better go to the mansion to see him."

"Um."

Brother who is in charge, you must visit!

Yao shi and her daughter couldn't finish talking, and she didn't hold Gu Xiaobao to nurse until Gu Xiaobao was hungry.

The old Jijiu also asked about the situation of the frontier fortress, so he was not as easy to fool as those at home.

He was once exiled to the frontier fortress by Zhuang Jinse for five years, and he knew how miserable the frontier fortress was.

"Oh, it's hard for you." The old Jijiu sighed earnestly, "You don't know how much that kid Ah Heng misses you, and when he enters the palace every three days, the ministers still think he can't wait to climb up, but in fact it's all the same. In order to inquire about the news of the frontier fortress."

Just as Xiao Heng came out of the study, he happened to hear what the old Jijiu said, and Gu Jiao happened to look at him, whether he was advancing or retreating.

He cleared his throat and said, "I am concerned about the military situation."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

The old Jijiu asked about the remnants of the previous dynasty: "Is King Yi and the son-in-law really dead?"

Gu Jiao nodded.

The son-in-law was killed by Gu Changqing, and King Yi died of illness.

The power of the former dynasty should be completely disintegrated here.

The old Jijiu asked: "What's going on with Chen Guo? How did Yuan Tang escape from the capital? And surrendered to the Gu family's army? Their strength is higher than that of the Gu's family's army, so there's no need to surrender without a fight, right? Could there be some conspiracy?"

It's no wonder that Lao Jijiu is so suspicious and cautious, it's because what happened in Chen Guo is so unbelievable, besides, Xiao Heng didn't tell Lao Jijiu that he was the one who released Yuan Tang from the capital.

As for the friendship between Yuantang and Gu Jiao, Lao Jijiu didn't even know about it.

Surrender is what Zhaoguo said. In fact, it was a truce between the two armies at that time, and they stopped fighting.

Chen Guo has 40,000 more soldiers than Gu's army, but Chen's morale is not as good as that of Gu's army. Moreover, Chen's domestic chaos is serious, and the war damage has left the national treasury empty, so they can't afford it.

The old Jijiu was thoughtful: "What happened to the Rong family? Their own sister is the concubine, but they went to help Prince Bo?"

Gu Jiao said: "Because the king doesn't intend to make a noble concubine his queen."

There is a letter in the brocade box that Yuan Tang sent to Gu Jiao, explaining the reasons why the Rong family turned against the water. It turned out that the king of Chen State's respect for the Rong family and his love for Rong Guifei's mother and son were just superficial. Concubine Zhang De was established as the queen, and the son of Concubine Zhang De was canonized as the prince.

Concubine Rong told the news to the Rong family. Concubine Rong's original intention was to hope that her father and elder brother could make up their minds for her, whether it was intimidation or temptation, so that Lord Chen would withdraw his order and make her his queen.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Prince Bo came to the door. He came to propose marriage for his only son, and the one who asked to marry was Rong Yao's daughter. As long as he became the king, Rong Yao's daughter would be the rightful prince. concubine.

In addition, he also granted the Rong family a lot of power and fiefdoms, which is much more generous than that of Lord Chen.

But the Rong family has had enough of being dependent on others, instead of always supporting others to be the emperor, it is better to be the emperor yourself!

Concubine Rong also has a youngest son, who is less than five years old this year. It doesn't matter if Yuan Tang dies, they support the five-year-old Ninth Prince to become the throne.

Afterwards, let the Ninth Prince Zen be located in the Rong family, so that their Rong family can rule the world.

When Prince Bo found the Rong family, he was seeking skin from a tiger, and finally died under Rong Yao's sword.

After this incident, the monarch aged ten years overnight, and no longer mentioned the matter of making Concubine Zhang De his empress.

Yuan Tang did not force the monarch to appoint him as the crown prince, Yuan Tang just told the monarch with great certainty that he was going to decide the position of crown prince, whether it was given to him by the monarch or he would take it himself.

The monarch poisoned Prince Bo, and only half his life is left. How can he fight Yuantang, who is in full swing?

Not surprisingly, the next time Yuan Tang is sent to Zhao, he will be the Crown Prince of Chen.

After listening to Gu Jiao's explanation, the old Jijiu heaved a long sigh: "The Tian family has no kinship, no matter which royal family is the same, but this Yuantang... is really impressive."

Fortunately, not the enemy.

When mentioning Yuantang, Gu Jiao remembered what Yuantang asked her to bring to Liu Yisheng.

"I'll go out once in a while." Gu Jiao said.

"Jiaojiao, where are you going?" Xiao Jingkong ran in sweating profusely.

Gu Jiao looked at him in a panic and couldn't laugh or cry: "Aren't you practicing? Have you been eavesdropping on us?"

"I'm not eavesdropping either, your voices are so loud." Xiao Jing rubbed his little hands guiltily.

Well, it was a little eavesdropping.

But he didn't mean it, and he couldn't understand it either.

He was just worried that Jiaojiao would suddenly leave without saying goodbye.

When Gu Jiao came back, she naturally had to go to the palace to report to her aunt that she was safe. She had thought about it, and after reporting her safety to her aunt, she would go to Liu Yisheng and give him Yuantang's gift.

"Jiaojiao, can I go with you?" Xiao Jingkong asked cutely.

"Okay." Gu Jiao rubbed his little mushroom head.

His hair is soft and so comfortable to rub.

Xiao Jingkong stretched out her little head: "If Jiaojiao likes it, you can keep rubbing it."

It doesn't matter if you are bald.

Xiao Heng came over leaning on his cane, and said without changing his face: "I happen to have a memorial from the Ministry of Rites to present to His Majesty, let's go into the palace together."

The corner of the old Jijiu's mouth twitched, and the New Year's Eve will give His Majesty a discount, can you talk a little more?

It's a pity that only the old Jijiu understands the court, and none of the family members understand it.

"Why does the bad brother-in-law want to go?" Xiao Jingkong suddenly felt a little resentful.

When the three came to the carriage, they unexpectedly found that there were already three people sitting in it: Gu Yan, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Xiaobao who was three months old.

Gu Jiao: "..."

The strange tail has increased again,,,

But in the end, all the little tails were grabbed by Yao shi, for no other reason, the carriage was not big enough to hold so many people.

But it's not fair to let any of the little tails go down, so they simply don't go together.

And because of the official excuse of memorial, Xiao Heng perfectly avoided the fate of being left at home by Yao Shi.

The four little faces watched the two get into the carriage expressionlessly.

It's just that no one expected that before Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng set off, my aunt's carriage would arrive.

My aunt hasn't received the news of Gu Jiao's return, she came to celebrate Xiao Heng and Xiao Jingkong's birthday, Gu Jiao is not here, the two cubs must be very sad, so she pushed back the palace banquet with the excuse of being sick.

"It's my aunt! My aunt is here!"

As soon as Xiao Qingkong's voice came out, Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao got out of the carriage.

Eunuch Qin also got out of the carriage, and he opened the curtain for Empress Dowager Zhuang. Empress Dowager Zhuang came out with a bow. Halfway through, Eunuch Qin shook his hand, and the curtain fell with a slap, slapping Empress Dowager Zhuang across the face!

Empress Dowager Zhuang: "...!!"

The surname is Qin!

Slap my mother in the face during the Chinese New Year!

Don't you and your group of bastards want to live anymore!

Empress Dowager Zhuang is going to see blood today!

"Gu, Miss Gu!" Eunuch Qin was dumbfounded!

The Empress Dowager Zhuang opened the curtain with a snap, and the anger that was full of wanting to take a pool of little bastards from Eunuch Qin to sacrifice to the heavens was extinguished the moment she saw Gu Jiao!

"Qin Huai." Her eyes fell on Gu Jiao's face, and she called Eunuch Qin's name.

"Hey, Queen Mother!" Eunuch Qin came back to his senses.

Empress Dowager Zhuang slapped him on the forehead!

Eunuch Qin: "?!"

"Does it hurt?" Queen Mother Zhuang asked.

"Slaves, slaves don't dare to be hurt." Eunuch Qin said with trepidation.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang brushed off her sleeves and took a long breath: "That's the pain. Very good, I'm not dreaming."

Eunuch Qin: "..."

"Auntie." Gu Jiao walked over.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhuang always dressed up in Bishui Hutong as an old lady, and she didn't see half of the luxury of a queen mother of a country. Even the carriage she rode in was the same as a folk carriage.

It's just that the stool is steeper and needs someone to support it.

Eunuch Qin stretched out his arm in a hurry.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang gave him a disgusted look.

Eunuch Qin's eyes flickered, and he stepped aside tactfully.

Gu Jiao helped the Empress Dowager Zhuang down.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang did not wait to enter the courtyard, she sized up Gu Jiao at the door.

Gu Jiao's change is obvious, she was not a girl who was pampered in the deep boudoir, she tossed herself a lot in the wind and rain, if so, she went to the frontier fortress and came back and almost made the Empress Dowager Zhuang afraid. recognize.

Needless to say, she lost weight, and she was also tanned, her cheeks were red and bloodshot, and her lips were a little chapped.

She is at the most beautiful age of a girl, and in the eyes of Empress Dowager Zhuang, she is still beautiful and heroic, and she has an extra strength not inferior to Zhao Guoerlang.

Empress Dowager Zhuang thought about how she should ask Gu Jiao to blame her teacher after she came back, but after seeing her, Empress Dowager Zhuang realized that she couldn't even say a word.

With thousands of emotions stuck in her heart, she took a deep breath, resisting the moisture in her eyes, and patted Gu Jiao's hand: "It's good that I'm back, it's good that I'm back..."

Gu Jiao held her aunt's hand.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't say anything, but held Gu Jiao's hand tightly.

Just as the Empress Dowager Zhuang was immersed in the strong emotion of losing and regaining Gu Jiao, another carriage suddenly drove up in the alley.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a mighty figure of a dragon came out with a bow.

When he saw Empress Dowager Zhuang at the door, he was stunned: "Mother? Mother, aren't you recuperating in Renshou Palace? Why did you sneak into Bishui Hutong?"

The Empress Dowager Zhuang choked, and gave him a sideways glance: "Didn't you say that you are going to retreat to pray for the soldiers? Then why did you come to Bishui Alley?"

"That's..." The emperor just wanted to say that he came out secretly to let the wind go, but he saw the small figure hidden behind by the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

He opened his eyes wide and walked over: "Little genius doctor? Are you back?"

"Well, I'm back."

"You, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Gu Jiao said.

The emperor looked at her and felt that she was fine, alive and well, and he said happily: "It's great that you're fine! You've finally returned safely, and mother will never ignore me again!"

The corner of the Empress Dowager Zhuang's mouth twitched, didn't she realize that it was just an excuse to blame you for taking Jiaojiao to the frontier, did the Ai family simply not want to talk to you!

The emperor didn't receive any dislike from his mother's empress at all, he was very happy, firstly, the mother's empress finally wanted to take care of him, and secondly, the little genius doctor returned safely.

The frontier fortress won the battle this time, and the little genius doctor also contributed a lot.

He wants to reward her well!
