After the wedding.

Mingjin personally sent Chunyu off to get married.

After that, he prepared to go south with Gu Mingheng and visit Jiayuguan where Gu Mingheng was stationed.

for this decision.

The two people in the palace already knew about it, so the only person Mingjin needed to tell was her grandmother.

I thought my grandmother would disagree.

Unexpectedly, she was much more open-minded than her.

As soon as Ming Jin opened his mouth, she immediately agreed, and told them to take their time and have fun along the way and not to rush back.

The old man sees things better than anyone else.

I know that staying in Kyoto is not a long-term solution.

It would be better to leave this place, where the mountains are high, the rivers are long, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and there is no need to be restricted by this capital.

"Go and play on your own."

"It's a good opportunity to follow Yixian and take a good look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daqian."

"I will wait until your brother gets married, and then I will go back to Laojun Mountain to recuperate." Now that his granddaughter is married, his eldest grandson will also be getting married soon.

The two things I am most concerned about are about to be completed.

When her granddaughter-in-law comes into the family in the future, the house will be managed by the second wife and her granddaughter-in-law, and she will have nothing to worry about.

Naturally, she no longer had to stay in this square house every day and could live her own life well.

"Then why not let grandma come with us."

"We'll wait for grandma to go with us."

Mingjin still couldn't bear to leave his grandmother and wanted to go out with her.

It would be best if I could have my grandmother by my side, just to make up for the years that have been missed.

She believed that Yixian would definitely not have any objection.

"Grandma, you haven't been to the border area either, right? We can go south and visit Suzhou and Hangzhou first, and then go to Jiayu Pass where the prince is stationed. The scenery there must be magnificent. If Grandma doesn't like it, we can find a place we like, stop and live there permanently."

She hopes that she can stay with her grandmother longer and longer in this life.

Princess Fuhua heard this.

Although I find this suggestion a bit ridiculous, it actually warms my heart.

When she was young, she was too serious and her sons were more respectful to her.

Not to mention when you get old.

Only she, her precious granddaughter, has loved to act coquettishly with her since she was a child.

Now I want to take her with me.

But how can a newlywed couple go out with their grandmother? If this gets out, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

She stroked Mingjin's head gently.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Mingjin was very kind and gentle.

"Grandma is old and can't walk that much. Just have fun with Yixian and write to her more often to let her know you're safe."

Without waiting for Mingjin to say anything else.

Princess Fuhua spoke to her again: "Yanyan, do you remember what I said to you before?"

There are too many words spoken between grandparents and grandchildren.

Mingjin didn't know what question his grandmother would ask this time.

Princess Fuhua looked at her and said, "Don't stop for us. You just need to keep moving forward. Grandmother is always here. Even if she leaves the mansion, she is still in Laojun Mountain. If you miss me, go see me with Yixian, but don't compromise for anyone."

“Everyone has their own path to take.”

"You have it, and so do I."

“You have to look forward.”

Mingjin knows it.

She knew that everyone had their own path to follow, and that was how she had advised Chunyu in the first place.

She just couldn't bear to do it.

I want to spend more time with my grandmother.

I couldn't help but feel sad because of my grandmother's words.

She said nothing, but stretched out her hands and gently hugged her grandmother: "If you go to Laojun Mountain, remember to write to me. The prince and I will visit you later."

"Eh."

Princess Fuhua agreed with a smile.

It’s time to set off.

I don’t know when I will be back.

Of course, there are still many things to do before leaving.

Mingjin only brought Huasui and Yingge with him.

A Bao still stayed in the capital, still living in the marquis's mansion, and studied with Ming Jinghuai.

Aunt Pei, as the housekeeper of the mansion and the person Mingjin trusted most, also stayed.

He just returned to the Princess's Mansion to help Mingjin take care of the affairs in the mansion.

Before leaving, Ming Jin asked Wu Ji to bring her family over and find them a property in the city so that Aunt Pei could visit them anytime when she missed her family.

Eunuch An still guards the palace.

He has been by Gu Mingheng's side since Gu Mingheng was just a babbling child, watching him grow up, and now, watching him get married.

In the past, every time Gu Mingheng went out, he was particularly reluctant to let him go and would give him many earnest instructions.

Although I am still reluctant to leave, there is more relief in my eyes.

The master has already married.

The illnesses he had suffered in his early years have been completely eliminated, and he is no longer alone.

Naturally, he had nothing to worry about.

Eunuch An is old and can't walk too far.

Declining Mingjin's invitation to go with him, he smiled and said to the two of them, "Your Highness, Princess, please go ahead. I will be waiting for you in the mansion. You can come back whenever you want. I will always be here."

He secretly hoped that when the prince and princess came back next time, there would already be a young prince and a young princess.

Then their palace would be even more lively.

He also hoped that this day would come sooner.

Officially out.

It was half a month after Mingjin and Gu Mingheng got married.

It was already Qingming Festival by then.

The spring rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped.

In addition to Mingjin's relatives and friends, Yuan Yu and Xu Zhaojun also came, as did the fifth prince and the crown prince.

They can go out and play, but I can't go with them.

Gu Changye was very resentful.

Before they left, they were still trying to discuss things with Gu Mingheng.

"Uncle, can't I really go with you? I promise, I will be good and will never cause any trouble for you!" He raised his hand and assured Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng naturally would not agree.

"You are sixteen this year, and it's time for you to be more mature. If you don't like studying, go to the military camp to gain some experience, and don't make your brother and his wife worry about you all the time."

Gu Changye felt very aggrieved about this: "I'm only sixteen, why can't I work hard? I won't have much time to play. When I reach the age, I will have to go to the fiefdom. It will be difficult to meet my uncle by then. Can my uncle really bear it?"

He tried to act pitiful in front of Gu Mingheng and use family affection to get close to him.

Gu Mingheng remained unmoved and looked obviously reluctant to do so.

Gu Changye was choked by his appearance.

Knowing that it was useless to try to get close to his uncle, Gu Changye simply turned his attention to Ming Jin, hoping that his beautiful aunt could speak for him.

He knew that his uncle listened to his aunt the most.

If the aunt spoke, the uncle would definitely not say anything, and then the emperor and the queen mother would certainly not be able to say anything either.

"Auntie~"

Gu Changye dragged out his voice and tried to please Ming Jin.

Mingjin naturally couldn't help.

She explained to Gu Changye in a gentle voice: "We don't know when we will be back. The Queen will definitely be reluctant to leave Your Highness."

"Okay, stop bothering your uncle and aunt. If you continue to make trouble, I will talk to my mother and ask her to arrange your marriage as soon as possible and have someone take care of you." Gu Changze patted Gu Changye's shoulder and spoke.

This obviously strangled Gu Changye's vital point.

He was horrible to death getting married.

Although he was dissatisfied at the moment, he just stammered and did not force himself to follow Mingjin and Gu Mingheng out.

I can't go anyway.

"It's a long journey, little uncle and little aunt, please take care of your health."

Gu Changze and Ming Jin said.

Ming Jin was not very familiar with Gu Changze, and privately he did not like the prince very much. At this time, he just nodded to Gu Changze and said thank you.

Gu Mingheng patted Gu Changze on the shoulder and said, "Come with me."

Obviously he had something to tell Gu Changze.

Gu Changze naturally had nothing to say.

Before Gu Mingheng left, he said to Mingjin, "I have a few words with Chengqian and will be back soon."

Ming Jin nodded: "Go ahead."

The uncle and nephew went aside to talk.

Gu Changye, who was still immersed in the sadness of not being able to go out and play together, did not follow and was taken aside by Yuan Yu to chat.

Xu Zhaojun was left to talk with Ming Jin.

Mingjin looked at the uncle and nephew in the distance.

But he just glanced at it and then looked away and started talking to Xu Zhaojun.

Go to a deserted place.

Gu Changze took the initiative to speak to Gu Mingheng first: "Thank you, uncle, for helping my third and fourth brothers this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we brothers would have continued to quarrel."

Gu Mingheng did not accept the thanks.

He shook his head and said, "When they reach the age, they should go to their own fiefdoms. Even if I don't ask, my brother will do so when the time comes."

Gu Changze had a gentle smile on his face, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.

He knew his father very well.

If his uncle had not spoken up this time, even if he had this idea in mind, he would not have implemented it so quickly.

Only when they really fight to the point of being beaten to a bloody pulp will he realize how outrageous his actions are.

People don't always admit their mistakes easily.

What's more, he is the emperor.

But there is no need to tell these things to my uncle.

He is very satisfied with the current situation.

"Cheng Qian knows."

His voice was still kind.

"My brother has not been in good health recently and he is old. You should spend more time on him and stop arguing with him. Among all the brothers, you are the only one who has been with him since you were a baby."

"His feelings towards you are the most different."

Gu Mingheng put his hand on Gu Changze's shoulder.

Seeing that the young man's expression had finally changed a little, he pressed his palm down gently and continued, "He is usually more critical of you because he treats you as the crown prince. Don't be angry with him."

This time, Gu Changze didn't speak for a long time.

He seemed to have recalled the time when he followed his father and was held on his knees as a child. He was silent for a while before he whispered, "I know. I won't argue with him."

Gu Mingheng was obviously relieved after hearing this.

What he was most worried about when he left Beijing this time was his brother's health.

But I think that now that there is no outsider trying to drive a wedge between them, the relationship between father and son should be much better in the future.

There is only one thing left -

He had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask.

He wanted to know whether the matter of Mingyue Tower had anything to do with him?

The timing when Cheng Qian took Li Chang to see his brother was perfect. It was right after Fan You died in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Things happened at the same time and he didn't think deeply about it.

But when I think about it carefully later, I always feel that this is too much of a coincidence.

He checked this matter, but found no clues.

I didn’t tell Yanyan either.

If Gu Changze looked up at this moment, he would definitely see the complicated expression in Gu Mingheng's eyes.

But in the end, Gu Mingheng pressed Gu Changze's shoulder, looked at him for a long time, and then withdrew his hand.

"We part today, and I don't know when we will meet again."

"Cheng Qian, uncle has something to tell you."

Gu Changze hurriedly said, "Please speak, little uncle." He put on an appearance of listening attentively.

Gu Mingheng did not take it too seriously, but said to Gu Changze in a serious tone: "There is an old saying that water can carry a boat but can also overturn it. As the emperor, you need to be loved and supported by the people, but you also need to love the people like your own children and treat every citizen as your own child. Only in this way can our Daqian country prosper and not be replaced by villains."

"do you understand?"

Gu Changze's heart skipped a beat.

For a moment, he thought his uncle knew something, but when he suppressed his emotions and raised his head, he saw that his uncle's eyes were always open and frank when looking at him.

Gu Changze couldn't tell for a moment, but in order to avoid his uncle's suspicion, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Cheng Qian knows that Cheng Qian will love the people like his own children in the future and be a good prince and heir to the throne."

Gu Mingheng looked at him in silence for a while, and finally said nothing more. He just patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go."

The past cannot be retrieved.

I hope Cheng Qian can really become a good emperor who loves the people in the future.

"It's time for your aunt and I to set off."

The uncle and nephew walked over side by side.

"coming."

Mingjin looked at Gu Mingheng coming over and smiled at him.

Gu Mingheng looked at the peaceful smile on Mingjin's face, and the haze hidden deep in his heart dissipated a lot, like the sun coming out after the clouds had cleared.

"Ah."

He smiled and agreed to Mingjin, then turned around and said goodbye to everyone.

"Everyone, after this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. I hope you all take care and we can have a drink together when we meet in the future." Gu Mingheng bowed to everyone.

Ming Jin also got off the carriage, stood beside him and bowed to everyone.

It’s windy today.

The hem of Mingjin's purple skirt and Gu Mingheng's black clothes were blown in the air by the wind.

They stood outside the gate of Kyoto, beneath the surrounding green hills, their black hair flying, as they said goodbye to everyone.

A group of people headed by Gu Changze also bowed to the two of them.

After seeing you for thousands of miles, we must say goodbye.

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng left Kyoto in a carriage, accompanied by many relatives and friends.

But the group of people who stayed there have not left yet.

They watched the carriage disappear from their sight.

Gu Changye was the youngest, but he couldn't help but look away and sighed, "Uncle and aunt are such a good match."

He had never thought about it before, nor could he imagine what kind of woman would stand beside such an upright and unparalleled hero like his uncle.

He felt that none of the women he had met were suitable.

Until my aunt appeared.

For a man like him who didn't want to get married, at that moment, he felt briefly moved when he thought of the two of them standing side by side.

I thought maybe getting married wouldn't be a bad idea.

But he quickly dismissed the idea. He didn't want to be tied up so soon!

"They are a perfect match."

Gu Changze was still watching the carriage leave.

Such a fairy couple should be as far away from Kyoto as possible, and he also hopes that they can stay away from Kyoto.

Then they can always maintain their current appearance.

He really respects his younger uncle, and he sincerely hopes that the relationship between them can remain the same.

"Let's go."

The carriage in the distance had disappeared on the official road, and Gu Changze also withdrew his gaze.

He turned around and got into the carriage.

Before leaving, he said hello to Yuan Yu and Ming Jingheng and agreed to meet again later.

The others bowed and saw him off.

Afterwards, everyone left.
