First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 935: Growing up (second update)

 After coming out of the secret room, it was getting late. Marquis Xuanping went back to his yard first and asked someone to prepare hot water for bathing.

Manager Liu looked at him with a strange expression: "Didn't you just take a shower after practicing in the morning? I've never seen you being so clean before."

"What do you know?"

Hour Xuanping took off his blood-stained clothes, revealing his muscular upper body.

His body is covered with crisscross scars, and he has the body of a military commander who has been fighting for many years.

 The texture is firm, strong and strong, with clear lines.

Guanshi Liu is a man, but I have to say that I am very envious.

 He put the clothes into the basket and sighed: "I know, I want to see the princess."

Housew Xuanping raised his hand to unbuckle his belt: "It's just Jian Yiyi...forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you."

　　After taking a bath, Marquis Xuanping changed into dry and light clothes, and then went to see his precious daughter.

Today, the whole family is dining at Princess Xinyang’s side.

 Xiao Jingkong, Shangguan Qing and the newly married couple.

As soon as Marquis Xuanping entered the house and saw this large family, he was in a trance.

Xiao Jingkong is very much like the young Xiao Heng, making people feel as if they have returned to the past, but it is not just the past, because there are also Gu Jiao, Shangguan Qing and Yiyi.

He has been here alone in these years, and he is not used to being so busy all of a sudden.

"What are you doing standing there? The food is getting cold." Princess Xinyang said calmly.

“Here we come.” He calmly sat down next to Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang followed the rules of eating and sleeping, but she couldn't hold back little Yiyi who had just turned half a year old and couldn't stop talking. She whined, and Xiao Jingkong responded to her from time to time, and Shangguanqing started to argue with Xiao Heng. .

 The meal was lively and had the atmosphere of a common people's home.

 After eating and drinking, Marquis Xuanping and his two sons went to the study, while Princess Xinyang and Gu Jiao took the two little ones for a walk.

By the time they returned from their walk, the conversation between the father and son had ended.

 The brothers' yards were in the same direction, and the four of them left together.

Shangguan Qing snatched Xiao Jingkong’s toys, and Xiao Jingkong chased him all over the house, with a large group of people and a small group chasing him.

The newlyweds held hands and strolled along the path full of flowers.

  Xiao Heng told the story about Mr. Mingyue.

Gu Jiao did not expect that Xuan Pinghou would move so quickly, which was really surprising.

Xiao Heng looked at Shangguan Qing in front of him, who was sticking out his tongue and making faces in the small clearing. He couldn't help laughing and said: "My brother and my father usually don't look serious, but when they meet someone they care about, they will risk everything."

Gu Jiao nodded.

Xiao Heng smiled softly and said, "Don't be envious, they are also your brothers and father now."

 Gu Jiao: "Then I envy myself."

 Xiao Heng smiled.

Gu Jiao said: "So, Master Mingyue is actually the young master of Jianlu, so are he and Long Yi still brothers?"

Xiao Heng snorted: "Yes, his father is the master of Long Yi and Dark Soul. Long Yi and Dark Soul are both orphans, and they are also the first children to survive the poison of comfrey."

Gu Jiao asked: "Are the people in Jianlu using lithospermum poison to breed dead men?"

Xiao Heng said: "He doesn't know. He only said that he has speculation in this regard."

Ming Yue Gongzi's situation is somewhat similar to Chang Jing's. They both live on the island, and they are both young masters of reclusive sects.

However, Master Mingyue's situation is not as optimistic as Chang Jing's. He is not the flesh and blood of the island owner's wife.

The wife of the island owner was unable to have children, so she adopted a nephew from her natal family, hoping that he would inherit Jianlu. Unexpectedly, not long after, a maid on the island gave birth to a son for the island owner.

Mr. Mingyue left the island without permission in search of new comfrey. Unexpectedly, he was chased not long after leaving the island. Not only did he lose the Xuan Yue Sword, but he was also poisoned by the opponent's poison.

This kind of poison comes from the island, and you have to go back to detoxify it.

 But without the Xuanyue Sword, he couldn't break the mechanism at the entrance to the island.

Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "So that's what happened."

Xiao Heng said: "Ming Yue said that if this kind of poison does not activate the power, it will act very slowly. Once the internal force is activated, a large amount of toxins will be produced."

"No wonder he doesn't fight with us." Gu Jiao touched her chin, "I'm really curious about what kind of strength he has. I still have a question. If only the leader's sword can open the mechanism on the island, how did the rest of the people get back to the island? Up?"

"You can't go back." Xiao Heng said, "In the past, people on the island went out to do business. When they came back, they only had to send out a signal, and a disciple would come to open the mechanism with the Xuan Yue Sword. Since the Xuan Yue Sword disappeared, the mechanism has not been opened again. , the people on the island never come back.”

Thinking of something, Gu Jiao frowned and said, "So, Long Yi can't go back?"

Xiao Heng said: "He is talking about the facts he has, but maybe there are things on the island that he doesn't know."

Gu Jiao thought this was the reason.

Xiao Heng continued: "No matter what, with the young master of Jianlu in our hands, the next actions will become much easier."

 Gu Jiao nodded: "Yes."

To be honest, this incident happened suddenly, but she really didn't feel it was that difficult. Perhaps the most difficult days were over, and now she no longer had to walk on thin ice when doing anything.

 “Any plans?” she asked.

Xiao Heng told the results of the discussion between the father and son: "Two plans. One, release the news about Xuanyue Sword and lead people from Jianlu to search for it; two, go to Jianlu in person. Jianlu is not far from Dark Night Island. , if the first plan doesn't work, my dad said he would go and see Chang Jing on the way."

 …

 Xiao Jingkong was playing around with Shangguan Qing, which exhausted all his energy. After taking a bath, he felt completely wilted.

 He came to the wedding room holding his own little pillow.

 Gu Jiao thought he was going to sleep with her, but instead he rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "Jiaojiao, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow."

Gu Jiao said in a daze, "Uh, okay, see you tomorrow."

Xiao Jingkong went out with a sleepy look on his face while holding a small pillow.

  Xiao Heng gradually got used to sleeping alone in a small space three months ago, and now the effect is remarkable.

 Children always have to grow up, separate from their parents, and learn to grow their own wings.

 …

 The next day, after sending Xiao Qingkong to the Imperial College, Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng went to Bishui Hutong.

 Chinghe Academy is on holiday today, and Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun are both at home.

 They were very happy to see Gu Jiao and her brother-in-law.

Gu Xiaoshun put down half of the water he had picked up, walked over and said, "Sister, didn't you just come back? Why are you back again?"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't want to see me?"

"No! I...I..." Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head and stuttered, not knowing what to say.

He really liked his sister and wished he could see her every day. He was afraid that his sister would not stay at the house and would make his parents-in-law unhappy.

Princess Xinyang is a very open-minded mother-in-law. If Gu Jiao is bored at home and doesn't go out, she will be worried.

 What’s more, today is a special day.

 Gu Yan saw through it without saying anything. He greeted his sister and brother-in-law, and looked out carelessly.

 “What are you looking at?” Gu Xiaoshun asked him.

“Here.” Gu Yan motioned Gu Xiaoshun to look outside with his eyes.

Gu Xiaoshun took a closer look and saw another carriage stopped at the door of his house. Eunuch Qin, who had dressed up in disguise, helped his aunt dressed as an old lady to get out of the carriage.

"Auntie!" Gu Xiaoshun's eyes lit up, "Is your foot okay?"

Eunuch Qin corrected him: "It's my feet that are in trouble."

 The Queen Mother fell down and he was used as a human cushion!

 Gu Xiaoshun: “…”

Gu Xiaoshun coughed lightly and asked, "Is Eunuch Qin's foot healed?"

Eunuch Qin limped into the house and gave Gu Xiaoshun a look of realization, which was extremely exaggerated.

"Is Eunuch Qin so angry?" Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head and said to his aunt who was sweating profusely and almost suffering from heat stroke, "Don't you like to go out on hot days? Why do you come here to play leaf cards?"

 “Yepai, haha.” Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes at him and entered the room with a bad face.

Gu Yan said to him: "Fool." After saying that, he also entered the house.

Gu Xiaoshun was confused: "What is the situation?"

Gu Jiao curled her lips: "Have you even forgotten your birthday?"

 His...birthday?

Gu Xiaoshun was stunned.

There are five younger generations in the family. Gu Jiao and Gu Yan are twins, and Xiao Heng and Xiao Jingkong’s birthdays are New Year’s Eve, which is very easy to remember.

Only his birthday is isolated, nor is it any special day, just like him.

 “What’s so nice about a little birthday…”

He curled his lips and muttered, the tip of his nose felt sore and his eyes felt a little warm.

 Recently, the family has been busy with the marriage of his sister and brother-in-law, and even he himself has forgotten about his birthday.

“No, Gu Xiaoshun, are you crying?”

Gu Yan didn’t know when it grew out from behind him.

 Gu Xiaoshun quickly wiped away his tears and said seriously: "I didn't. I'm an old man, how could I cry?"

Gu Yan snorted: "My hair has not even grown yet! What a man!"

Gu Xiaoshun asked: "Has your hair grown evenly?"

Gu Yan has a strong sense of superiority: "I'm older than you!"

 Gu Xiaoshun stretched out a finger: "Only one year old!"

Gu Yan looked at the sky: "That's big too!"

The two were bickering, and Yu Yaer suddenly ran in in panic: "Oh no! Something happened!"

Gu Jiao heard the commotion and walked out of the house, asking Yu Ya'er, "What happened?"

Yu Ya'er ran to Gu Jiao, grabbed her arms, and cried bitterly: "Madam took Xiaobao... to the tea shop to buy snacks... The tea shop suddenly flooded... Xiaobao and Madam were trapped inside... and they didn't come out. !”
