Hearing what his eldest son said, King Xunyang felt very uncomfortable.

He and Xi Niang were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Later, he went to the battlefield and narrowly escaped death many times. It was because of the person he missed in his heart that he escaped from countless dangers.

Xi Niang, on the other hand, kept their engagement and waited patiently for him to return home.

He came back in a hurry and got married once, and immediately returned to the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Xi Niang became pregnant overnight, and gave birth to his eldest son Gu Qianqi after ten months of pregnancy.

Qi, return date, is the name he personally chose, and it also contains his original wish, looking forward to the day he returns home.

However, not long after the Qianqi full moon, Xi Niang contracted a cold, but she never recovered, and her health became worse and worse. By the time he received the letter and rushed back, it was already too late, and he never saw her for the last time.

He endured his heartache and took care of Xi Niang's funeral, and then asked his father and queen to take care of the infant child. He went to the military camp again, and when he came back again, it was Qianqi's first birthday.

The first thing the son said was not father, but mother, and he called Xi Niang's cousin, Duan Wanyue.

Duan Wanyue looks very much like Xi Niang, and her temperament is also very similar to Xi Niang's. She is also the next wife arranged by her mother.

It didn't matter who he was if he wasn't the one in his heart. Seeing Duan Wanyue hugging Qianqi and being affectionate, he felt that it would be good to have such a person to take care of his children after he left home.

So he hurriedly married Duan Wanniang.

And Duan Wanniang did live up to her expectations and was very kind to Qianqi. Every time he came home, what he saw was the child who was being cared for, and the scene of mother and child loving each other.

After Duan Wanniang gave birth to Qianqiu, she still treated Qianqi as before, and he was completely relieved.

It was not until he returned his military power and returned home that he discovered that the two children had been raised very pampered by Duan Wanniang. They were incompetent in both civil and military affairs. If the second child and the eldest child were not equally incompetent, he would have doubted whether Duan Wanniang did it on purpose.

When he became an idle prince and had time, he wanted to educate his eldest son well, but found that his eldest son didn't listen to him at all. After several times of discipline, the affection between father and son became somewhat weak.

Later he figured it out.

Qianqi is his and Xi Niang's precious son. If he is not useful, then he is useless. As long as he lives well, there is nothing wrong with living a healthy life.

Until he was hesitant to ask Qianqi to be crowned the crown prince, Duan Wanniang disagreed, saying bluntly that the child was still young and he was still young and strong, so there was no need to ask for the crown prince so early.

In fact, he could understand Duan Wanniang's reaction.

Although the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, the ten fingers are all the same length. There is nothing wrong with loving your own son. She loves Qianqiu, and he loves Qianqi.

It wasn't that he didn't want to invite the crown prince after listening to Duan Wanniang's words, but His Majesty told him that the Gu family's title could only be inherited for three generations, and he would have to downgrade it once.

However, His Majesty wants the Gu family to contribute to the court from generation to generation, and is willing to give the Gu family another chance. As long as the crown prince can guard the border for ten years and fight against the enemy with meritorious service, it can continue for another generation.

These words put him on the fire.

He didn't know if this was His Majesty's kindness, but he knew that inviting the Crown Prince would mean that the eldest son would have to go to the border. If he was not good at civil and military affairs, wouldn't it mean that he would be killed?

Therefore, he has not applied for the title for a long time, but the eldest son does not know the inside story and only suspects that he is a "stepfather" who married his stepmother.

What his eldest son said just now really touched his heart.

Taking a deep breath, King Xunyang strode into the hall with a smile on his face, "Hey, it's quite lively today?"

Gu Qianqi only glanced at him, then lowered his head and said nothing, as before.

Seeing this, Gu Qianqiu took a step forward, bent down and shouted respectfully: "Brother, you are here too."

Gu Qianqi glanced at him coldly, with such a low posture and a lot of effort on his face, just like "her".

Thinking of her... Gu Qianqi still felt a dull pain even though he had been hurt a thousand times.

You have the ability to lie to him for a lifetime. What does it mean to lie to him for a few years and then reveal your true colors?

Gu Qianqi wanted to snort and ignore it, but thinking of what Zhou Qiong once told him, "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan", he endured his nausea and stepped forward to help him up.

Said: "Second brother, you are a disorganized manager and made a big mistake, but he kept saying that he was under your orders. I was so angry that I punished him first. You won't blame me, right?"

Gu Qianqiu was so angry that the eyes between the brothers almost burst into flames, but his words were still: "Thank you, brother, for making the decision for me. Such people should be taught a lesson."

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the steward hard, and said angrily: "Why don't you send the person here quickly, and you dare to buy and sell by force? Who gave you the courage to do this? Do you think you have a master here? , can you pretend to be powerful?"

The steward ran to the backyard when he was pissed.

Seeing this, King Xunyang winked at the two guards behind him.

The two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the person away, and even covered the steward's mouth and nose, which was extremely clean and tidy.

"Good nephew, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown up so much, and you are quite like my father. When he didn't like me, he came straight to the door and started fighting. I didn't expect that it has been so long."

Zhou Qiong originally thought that there would be some quarrels if King Xunyang personally took action, but she didn't want him to mention his father directly, and there seemed to be some nostalgia for the past friendship during the conversation, so he was a little at a loss for a while.

After a slight pause, he also stepped forward and saluted: "I was ordered to go to the Southeast Navy to patrol the sea. I happened to pass by Xunzhou City tonight. I didn't expect that Uncle Gu was also in the city. If I had known about it earlier, I would definitely go and visit."

Yunling stood behind her, suppressing a smile.

A moment ago, he kept saying that he was going to sue someone behind his back for evil intentions to scare the manager, but when he met his uncle who was the real owner, he was very stubborn. Zhou Qiong was also quite flexible.

King Xunyang invited a few people to sit down at a table that was still standing. He didn't mention anything about Zhou Qiong's order to make things happen in the building. He just pretended that the mess in front of him could not be seen. Instead, he greeted them cordially. He asked whether Zhou Qiong could adapt to the journey, whether the third prince could still adapt to sailing, and so on.

When the guards came up with Lu Yuchen, who was covered with injuries, he pointed at the person in surprise and said, "Xiannephew, is this your friend's servant?"

"Yes, this is a servant of my friend's family. I have seen him once before. I can't tell him wrong with his eyes alone. But later he was kidnapped for some reason. I was asked to help find him, but I never thought of it. It landed in Xueyue Tower. If the person in charge hadn't asked me for three thousand taels, but if it was less, I would have taken him away directly and would never get entangled here."

"Uncle Gu, those officials in Ruidu are not vegetarians. In the past, if I had a fight on the street, I would be reported to His Majesty. If someone knows that there is someone in your building who is cheating and abducting the master behind his back, this... ..”
