Planning to marry the third master

"Your Majesty, it is understandable that Prince Hui is trying to confuse the public with his small business, but the Meng family's business outside of Bianjing is so large that it is rich enough to rival a country. We must investigate."

"Rich enough to rival a country?" The emperor frowned.

Prince Hui said, "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can speak directly. There is no need to start with the people around me. Father, let's put the issue of the crown prince aside. If I get involved with you, I will be implicated for no reason. How ridiculous."

Prince Hui's words were so ruthless that they silenced many ministers. No minister stood up to speak for a while.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, stood up, pointed at the ministers and said, "Are you going to destroy the country?" He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

There was a moment of silence in the court, and the ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The emperor's departure made the scene very awkward, and the corners of Hui Wang's mouth slightly raised. The other ministers sighed in their hearts that Hui Wang was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Prince Yu and Prince Hui looked at each other, one curled his lips slightly while the other gritted his teeth and endured it.

Xie Yunxiao stood in front with an indifferent look in his eyes, as if it had nothing to do with him. He left the court first, and the fifth prince Gu Xingyan immediately followed, and only then did the court slowly disperse.

The court has become a party dispute, which affects the country and destroys the family, the country and the world. Today's emperor is obviously unhappy. The world is worrying. He is not at ease in anyone's hands, so he went to Concubine De.

Gu Xingyan happened to be assigned another task at the palace gate, and he took the things General Qilin had told him to go back into the palace. On the way, he happened to meet his father.

Gu Xingyan's good mood immediately disappeared. He looked heartless, respectful but also a little sad. He said to the emperor: "Greetings, father."

The emperor was disappointed to see that his son had no future, and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Gu Xingyan said: "It is a thank-you gift from General Qilin to my mother."

"What's the thank you gift?"

"Matchmaker gift."

The emperor nodded and said, "Let's go to your mother's place together."

"Yes."

The father and son didn't say much along the way. The emperor didn't speak, and the son rarely spoke on his own initiative, so he said, "You are close to this General Qilin."

Gu Xingyan immediately said, "It was because my father asked me to follow him that I came closer."

"What are you afraid of? Father doesn't eat people."

"I'm not afraid."

"What have you learned from following General Qilin?"

"I didn't learn anything. I just followed General Qilin wherever he went."

"Hmm? Isn't this turning into a little follower?"

Gu Xingyan didn't know what his father would scold him for, so he hung his head.

The emperor was helpless and said, "You will soon be married and become the head of a family. Will it be like this in the future?"

Gu Xingyan said: "Your son also wants to share your father's worries. As long as your father says a word, your son will be loyal to you."

The words are comforting, but, hey...

Life in the palace was boring, and Concubine De wanted to leave the palace and live with her son. Unfortunately, there was an ancestral rule in the palace. Just as she sighed, she heard the palace servants say that the emperor and the fifth prince had arrived.

I immediately got up from the chaise longue, put on my shoes, and was about to walk to the door when the father and son came in. I smiled and said, "What day is it today? You actually came together."

Gu Xingyan handed over the item and said, "This is a thank-you gift from my uncle to my mother."

"He is so thoughtful." Then she took it, opened it, and showed it to the emperor. It was a cloisonné silk hand fan, very exquisite, and it was obviously something for display.

Concubine De took it out to show off, saying, "It's nice, but summer is almost over and there's no point in having a fan." She fanned it twice and put it down again. "It's heavy and not very comfortable to hold." She said this but smiled.

The emperor felt better when he came to Concubine De's place and said, "It looks good when displayed. He really thought about it."

"This is obviously a woman's vision, and the one who has the heart is her wife."

"You have seen his wife. I heard that she is a very beautiful woman. Is that true?"

Concubine De recalled that the emperor had met Feng Zhuohua in his early years, and wondered if he still remembered. She said nonchalantly, "How can a young woman not be beautiful? Aren't there a few ugly ones in Bianjing?"

makes sense.

Gu Xingyan wanted to slip away after finishing his work, so he bowed and said, "I will go back after delivering the things, so as not to disturb my father, the emperor and my mother."

Concubine De was unhappy and said, "You left just after arriving. You are becoming less and less concerned about me, your mother."

The emperor also said with a dark face: "Why are you in such a hurry to find a job? Are you afraid that I will assign you something to do?"

"No, no." Gu Xingyan said quickly.

De Fei said: "Come in and tell me what you have been doing these days."

Gu Xingyan had no choice but to follow his father and mother into the house.

It is really a rare opportunity for three people to get together. The last time three people sat together like this was two or three years ago.

Concubine De first said, "Tell mother what you have done in the past few days?"

Gu Xingyan said honestly: "My father asked me to follow General Qilin, so I followed him whenever I had time these days."

"What did he do with you?"

"General Qilin has many subordinates, so he doesn't need to go out in person. He just handles official business in the general's mansion. I followed him and didn't do anything. The other day he took me to meet his friends, and yesterday he went to Hu Cong's place. Hu Cong is from the Xuanmen, which really opened my eyes."

"Oh, what vision?" asked the emperor.

Gu Xingyan said, "It's the military that I talked about with Father last time. He has the Bagua compass and sand table formations. Many of them are things I have never seen before. I think they are amazing."

The emperor said: "No wonder he is so good at fighting, it turns out he has a master by his side."

Gu Xingyan said: "General Qilin fought in the battle when Hu Cong was not around, so he relied on himself."

The emperor pondered, the people of Xuanmen recognized their master, and it was his own ability to attract talents.

De Fei said: "He introduced you to his friends, so he treats you as his own. Mother hopes that you can make more friends and go out more often."

A few people chatted and talked about family matters, and Gu Xingyan was kept in the palace for dinner.
