Aino Xiongfei snorted, but didn't pay attention to Duan Mingchen, his eyes turned around Gu Huaiqing's face presumptuously, staring at his waist, and said maliciously: "You are from Dongchang... Father-in-law ?May I have your name?"

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are usually at odds, but seeing Gu Huaiqing being insulted at this moment, they feel a little bit of the same hatred, and several people have already touched the embroidered spring knife at their waists.Duan Mingchen also hated this arrogant and rude Japanese very much, if he wasn't an envoy from Japan, he would have given him a hard time.

Gu Huaiqing said with a blank face: "The next official is Gu Huaiqing from Dongchang Qianhu."

Aino Yufei snorted, and one of his subordinates leaned over and whispered something to him, obviously telling him Gu Huaiqing's identity.After hearing this, Aino Xiongfei's eyes flickered again and again, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face full of flesh, and he said, "So it's Emperor Daqi's most beloved Eunuch Gu? I offended you just now, disrespect, disrespect!"

"It's easy to say." Gu Huai said calmly, "Daqi has always established the country with the rule of law. Although the general is not a member of Daqi, since he is in Daqi, he must abide by the laws and regulations here. Things like just now, I hope you don't do it again, otherwise you will be punished." Only offended."

"Hehe, interesting." Aino Xiongfei was not angry when he was ridiculed by Gu Huaiqing, but he obviously didn't take this warning to heart, and said loudly, "This general is not familiar with this place, why don't you send me back to the post house ?”

The people from Jinyiwei rolled their eyes, since they knew how to reach Huazhi Hutong from the posthouse, why didn't they know the way back?It's clearly an excuse!

Duan Mingchen's face darkened, and he rushed ahead of Gu Huaiqing and said, "Master Gu is going to accompany you in the palace, so I should send the general back."

Gu Huaiqing glanced at Duan Mingchen in surprise. Although Xiao Jing summoned him every night, today he asked Xiao Jing for leave. At this time, the palace gate was also closed. Duan Mingchen clearly knew about it, but he still made serious nonsense.

However, Gu Huaiqing could see that Duan Mingchen had good intentions, and he really didn't want to get entangled with people like Aino Xiongfei, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "I will talk to the general sometime later, I have to go first."

After saying goodbye, he left first, Aino Xiongfei made a fuss and simply rejected Duan Mingchen, and the group swaggered back to the post house.

******

Gu Huaiqing rode his horse back to the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is divided into an inner city and an inner city. The inner city is where the emperor and concubines live, while the outer city is dotted with institutions like Dongchang that run errands for the palace.

Gu Huaiqing entered through the east door, and saw a thin figure hovering around the corner.

"Han Fei, you don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?" Gu Huaiqing reined in his horse and asked coldly.

Yu Hanfei was the young man that Gu Huaiqing rescued from Jin Yiwei a few months ago. He had good food in the palace. Relatively thin.

Seeing Gu Huaiqing's return, Yu Hanfei showed a happy smile on his face, he came up to hold Gu Huaiqing's horse, and said with a smile, "My lord, you are back!"

Gu Huaiqing asked, "Are you waiting for me here? Is there something wrong?"

Yu Hanfei rubbed his hands together, grinned and said, "Hey, there's nothing wrong, it's just... a little worried about my father-in-law. I have nothing to do, so I just waited here for a while."

When Gu Huaiqing saw that his lips were turning white from the cold, he knew that he definitely hadn't just waited for a while, with a little warmth in his heart, but he sternly reprimanded: "Nothing to do? Have you finished the homework assigned by the master?"

Yu Hanfei's family was poor, and he didn't know a few big characters. Fortunately, there was a special teacher in the palace to teach the eunuchs how to learn culture. Gu Huaiqing picked a good teacher for Yu Hanfei and forced him to read and practice calligraphy every day.

"Yes, yes, I have written more than 20 large characters, and my hands are sore!" Yu Hanfei sneaked a glance at Gu Huaiqing, and said in a low voice, "When will my lord teach me kung fu? Compared with practicing calligraphy, I want to learn martial arts more..."

Gu Huai saw Yu Hanfei's careful thinking early in the morning, and said: "It's not impossible, the condition is that you can finish learning the Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames within three months."

"Really?" Yu Hanfei's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists excitedly, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely work hard!"

The two came to the ear room talking and laughing, only to see a small eunuch standing at the door with his neck stretched out, and Gu Huaiqing showing a relieved expression.

"Master Gu, are you back? The emperor announced you into the palace."

Gu Huaiqing paused slightly: "It's so late, has Your Majesty not gone to bed yet?"

The little inner supervisor smiled and said: "Not yet, Your Majesty said, please go to Qinzheng Hall to see you as soon as you come back."

Gu Huaiqing nodded, not surprised at all.Because Xiao Jing is a person who often thinks about it, and sometimes summons him in the middle of the night on a whim, and he has long been used to it.Although the palace gate is locked at this moment, there is a secret passage from Dongchang to the inner palace, which is convenient for entry and exit.

Gu Huaiqing changed into his official uniform, followed the little inner prisoner, and went through the secret passage to the Palace of Qinzheng.

Gu Huaiqing hadn't stepped into the Palace of Qinzheng before he smelled a tempting aroma of food. From a distance, he saw Xiao Jing sitting on the dragon case reviewing the memorial, his eyes fixed on the memorial, holding a vermilion brush in one hand and twisting a small A piece of shortbread is delivered to the mouth.

Gu Huaiqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty is eating supper again?"

Xiao Jing raised his head from the memorial, and greeted happily: "Huaiqing came just in time, come and sit down quickly, and spend a little time with me."

Gu Huaiqing came over, raised his official robe, and knelt down opposite Xiao Jing.

There are eight kinds of snacks on the dragon table, steamed sweet-scented osmanthus cake, pearl and emerald glutinous rice balls, crystal shrimp dumplings, plum blossom cakes, almond bergamot, cherry wine, lotus heart mint soup, and rose fragrant glutinous drink.The exquisite snacks are served in Yuguotian blue jade bowls, which look extraordinarily attractive.

Gu Huaiqing and Xiao Jing were used to being casual, so he said, "Your Majesty eats so much at night, aren't you afraid of accumulating food? Later, the Queen Mother will punish me again."

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "I have already told them not to talk too much, the Queen Mother will not know."

Gu Huaiqing patronized the drinks in Yiyulou, only ate a little, and suddenly felt hungry, so he picked up the ivory chopsticks politely, and shared the supper with Xiao Jing.

The two got closer, and Xiao Jing smelled the faint smell of alcohol on Gu Huaiqing's body, and asked, "Did you go out to drink at night?"

Gu Huaiqing hummed, but didn't want to say more.It's not that Xiao Jing is afraid that he will pursue him for going to the Fengyue place, but Xiao Jing likes folk things. Last year during the Lantern Festival, he secretly dragged him out. Later, he was severely reprimanded by the Queen Mother. After hitting the board, Xiao Jing restrained himself a little.Xiao Jing couldn't go out of the palace, so he imitated a folk market in the palace, and let the eunuchs and maids imitate ordinary people, set up stalls and perform arts in the palace, and had a great time.If you let him know that he secretly went to Yiyulou, maybe he will also come to a private visit by the romantic emperor in his micro-service, that will be troublesome, so Gu Huaiqing will not say it even if he is beaten to death.

Xiao Jing refused to let him go, and continued to ask: "Where did Huaiqing go to drink and who did he go with?"

Gu Huaiqing didn't want to answer, so he deliberately changed the subject: "By the way, I ran into your future wife when I went out tonight!"

"What daughter-in-law?" Xiao Jing was taken aback for a moment.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The King of Koryo didn't send a letter last month, and he wanted to send the princess to marry him. The team to send the princess has already arrived in the capital."

"It came so fast!" Xiao Jing was a little surprised, "Did you see Princess Goryeo?"

"Yes!" Gu Huaiqing smiled.

Xiao Jing's handsome face showed a slight embarrassment, Gu Huaiqing knew that he was expecting him to continue speaking, but he deliberately kept it secret and stopped talking.

Gu Huaiqing raised his chin slightly, squinted his eyes and smirked, with a look of embarrassment like you ask me, come ask me, Xiao Jing looked at him, and couldn't help but think of the Persian cat with mandarin duck eyes raised by the Queen Mother. It's also such an arrogant and proud look.

Xiao Jing looked at him with a smile, and finally asked: "Huaiqing tell me, what does Princess Gaoli... look like?"

Under Xiao Jing's repeated urging, Gu Huaiqing said slowly: "She is a rare beauty, Your Majesty is so blessed!"

Xiao Jing came to the throne not long ago, although she hasn't been drafted yet, but there are three thousand beauties in the palace, how can they lack stunning looks?Xiao Jing is not as greedy as his father, and he is not even very concerned about the harem, and he has no heirs so far, so the queen mother is a little anxious.

"Oh? Is it really that beautiful? How about Concubine Ning?" Xiao Jing expressed disbelief.

"They are different types. Concubine Ning is a flamboyant beauty, while Princess Goryeo is a gentle and dignified beauty."

"How did you meet the princess?" Xiao Jing asked again.

Gu Huaiqing smashed Aino Xiongfei into Princess Goryeo's carriage, and even fought with Long Xiangwei. Finally, Jin Yiwei came forward to settle the matter, and informed Xiao Jing of the whole thing.

"That Japanese man is so arrogant that he even dared to tease the princess! If Duan Mingchen didn't pull me, I really want to give them some flair!" Gu Huaiqing still felt angry when he thought about it.

After Xiao Jing listened, his face was a little dignified. Gu Huaiqing thought he was not happy to hear that his future wife was molested, so he quickly added: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the princess is chaste, and we also rescued him in time. The Japanese took advantage."

Xiao Jing shook her head and said: "I don't care about this, I just think that Princess Gaoli is a weak girl who left her country for thousands of miles to marry abroad. If King Gaoli really loves her daughter, how can she be willing?"

"Anyway, a woman has to marry. It is her honor to be able to marry the emperor. If Your Majesty takes pity on her, he will treat her well in the future." Gu Huaiqing said disapprovingly, "I think Princess Gaoli should be gentle and virtuous. Temperament, a bit like... Concubine Min, but even more beautiful and dignified than Concubine Min."

"Is the former Emperor's Concubine Min?" Xiao Jing showed a somewhat solemn expression, with nostalgia and sentimentality.

Concubine Min Cui was also from Koryo, but she was not the daughter of the king of Koryo, but the daughter of a minister. Together with several Korean girls, she was sent to the palace to be the concubine of the late emperor.

Xiao Jing remembered that Concubine Min always had a gentle smile on her face, knew how to make delicious Korean snacks, and could sing beautiful Korean songs.Regardless of whether Xiao Jing was an unfavorable prince, or later canonized as a prince, Concubine Min's attitude towards him was consistent, she neither flattered nor trampled on her, she guarded the duty of a concubine mother, this kind of normal heart is really rare in the harem , so Xiao Jing has always respected her, although she is not a favored concubine.

Xiao Jing sighed: "I remember that Concubine Min made delicious snacks, especially frost flower cakes, but she would only make frost flower cakes when her father went to her palace. I haven't eaten either..."

After the late emperor passed away, Xiao Jing granted Concubine Min the right to live in the palace. However, within a few months, Concubine Min died of depression at the age of thirty.

Gu Huaiqing did not expect that this sentence would cause Xiao Jing to feel sad, and comforted him: "I heard that Korean women can make frost flower cakes, and let your Korean daughter-in-law make them for you in the future, won't it be fine?"

Xiao Jing smiled faintly, did not speak, and took a piece of steamed sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Gu Huaiqing, and said gently: "Don't talk about that, come on, this steamed cake is delicious, try it..."
