After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

Waking up after a night of hangover, Gu Xiu had a splitting headache.He subconsciously tapped the back of his swollen head, and then touched his chest.

Fortunately, the thin piece of paper is still there.

He had forgotten most of what happened last night, and his mind seemed to have been washed by water.I only remember that I went to Ning Wang Gu You's wedding banquet, drank two glasses of fruit wine from the Western Regions, and then I didn't remember anything.

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

Gu Xiu came back to his senses, and saw Han Mochu sitting at the round table beside him, drinking tea.

"Yeah, I'm awake." Gu Xiu rubbed his swollen temples: "Last night...how did I come back?"

"Of course I came back with your back." Han Mo calmly got up from the table, held the smooth ruler and stood beside Gu Xiu's bed, and said softly, "How many drinks did Your Highness have last night?"

Gu Xiu sat on the head of the bed, and stretched out his left hand in resignation: "Five cups."

Han Mochu didn't speak, raised the ruler in his hand and slapped Gu Xiu's palm five times.Those five blows were quick and hard, and Gu Xiu, who hadn't touched a ruler for a long time, was so excited by the sudden pain that his heart beat faster.

"Is Your Highness still greedy for drinking?"

"No more." Gu Xiu gritted his teeth and received three more blows.

"Your Highness, do you remember today?"

"Remember." Gu Xiu finally retracted his palm, gently rubbing the swollen palm with his right fingertips.It was the kind of lingering swelling and pain again, and if there were no accidents, it would be painful to ride a horse and bend a bow for the next three to five days.

"Okay, if your Highness has a headache, you can sleep for a while. I have taken a day off with you in court. For lunch, Aunt Wu will make you some ginger pork ribs porridge to warm your stomach." Han Mochu put down the ruler The gentleness gave people the illusion that the one who hit someone just now was not the same person at all.

The third day of March is Gu Xiu's birthday.

Gu Xiu never liked to have birthdays, he only went to the palace in the morning to receive the king's reward, and then hurried back to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

At the beginning of this year, a total of [-] recruits who had reached the age of fifteen entered the camp.In order to boost morale, Gu Xiu will take the group of recruits to train together every day when he is not handling military affairs.

Among the fledgling recruits, none of them were impressed by Gu Xiu's prowess.No one does not regard Gu Xiu, who is about the same age as them, as a god.

The new armor developed by Han Mochu has also made a breakthrough. A piece of breastplate can block ten feathered arrows.As long as the weight is reduced a little more, it can be made into armor for people to try on.

The two people live together every day, go in and out together, and are inseparable.

Gu Xiu felt that some words should not be said out loud, so as not to spoil everything we have today.

Over the past few days, the turmoil in the previous dynasty has never stopped, and the confrontation between King Xun and King Duan has become more and more obvious.An official from Limenxia Province fell today, and an official from Yushitai must also fall tomorrow.

King Gu Hong didn't bother to ask more questions about such an open and secret fight.Let the two fight back and forth, anyway, no matter how hard they fight, he will not take sides, and they will always slap Tianzao.

Gu You, who became a relative, still has no intention of governing. After studying in Shangshu Province for so many years, he still hasn't even learned a little bit.Originally, Gu Hong saw that he had to make some achievements in getting married, so he gave him the title of head of six departments.

Gu You replied confusedly, and then continued to eat, drink and play.He even blatantly failed to report to Shangshu Province for several days in a row, but it was Gu Xiu who took time out of his busy schedule to help him sort out the accumulated documents.

After King Gu Hong found out about this, he scolded both of them as he did when he was a boy, and almost broke the cane again.In the end, he waved his hands helplessly and told the two children: Let you go.

Inexplicably, Gu Xiu took over the burden of the six major departments on Gu You's shoulders. Although there were not many papers to deal with every day, he would lose an hour of sleep anyway.

Without Han Mochu's help, even if Gu Xiu was made of iron, he wouldn't be able to survive.

Yongxi 21 years, late March.

Khan Jibuha of the Wuyun tribe of Mengshi went to Beijing to ask for help, saying that in recent years, the south of the desert has relied on the power of the imperial court to continuously expand the grassland and annex the surrounding tribes, pushing the other big tribes of the Mongolian tribe almost to the brink of desperation. suspected.

Jibuha hopes that King Gu Hong can make the decision for him, and dissuade Ari Sillan from harming his fellow clans like this.

If it were in the past, according to the temperament of the king Gu Hong, the country would definitely send troops to directly quell Monan's wolf ambition.But now, what Gu Hong misses in his heart is his pregnant daughter.

In the court hall, King Gu Hong comforted Ji Buha and allowed him to stay in Beijing for a while.

After the court meeting, the king once again left Gu Xiu alone.

"You heard everything that happened in the courtroom today, right?" Gu Hong, who had been sitting in the courtroom for a noon, was obviously exhausted, leaning on the soft cushion of the small couch, panting softly.

"My son heard that, the king of Monan is proud of his favor. If he lets it go, he will surely rebel." Gu Xiu replied with eyebrows raised.

"I think so too, so I ask you to gather [-] elite soldiers and go to Monan tomorrow. Beat that Arishlan to calm him down."

"Yes, my son understands." Gu Xiu folded his court clothes, his tone seemed a little impatient.

"You have to restrain your temper when you go here. It doesn't matter how you beat Ari Silan, don't startle your elder sister's body. Do you know what to do behind your elder sister's back more or less?"

Even after all these years, King Gu Hong still remembers that year when his three sons beat the prince of Monan until his nose was black and his face was swollen.Now that Ari Silan and Gu Jin have become husband and wife, no matter how they say it, we have to look at Gu Jin's face.

"Father, don't worry, my son understands."

Gu Hong propped his chin, looked at his son who was doing very well in front of him and said: "Go on, let your elder sister take a good look at you, don't let your elder sister miss you too much."

Gu Xiu bowed to receive the order, and left the inner palace briskly.

After Gu Xiu left, Gu Hong took the hand stove that Cui Shang handed over. Gu Hong's body became very weak after the new year, and he still held the hand stove after three months. : "Cui Shang, have you seen how happy that child is?"

"This old slave has seen that His Royal Highness King Zhan has been taken care of by the princess since he was a child, so he is naturally happy to go to Monan to meet the princess." The old eunuch Cui Shang hugged the blanket and pressed it on Gu Hong's knee.

"This child had a hard life when he was a child. Fortunately, Jin'er is kind-hearted and knows how to protect his younger brother. If not, I don't know how much this child will suffer." Gu Hong supported his chin with his hands, rubbing his forehead that was always swollen and sore.

These days, he often dreams of Yunyao.

In her dream, Yun Yao hugged Gu Xiu who was a baby, and looked at him with a smile.He wanted to chase after him, but he couldn't see anything in an instant.

He was alone, cold all over.

"The princess has been partial to His Royal Highness Zhan since she was a child, and even His Royal Highness Ning loves it." Cui Shang has been by Gu Hong's side for nearly 40 years. He can hear every word of Gu Hong, and he knows what to say to make the old The emperor was delighted: "His Royal Highness Zhan Wang is a man, if it wasn't for the beatings and beatings when he was young, how could he be able to come out like this now?"

"Old ghost, you're the only one who will be relieved, right?" Gu Hong held his chest and coughed twice: "Call Mr. Nanxi over here, I miss him."

Gu Xiu, who received the decree of grace, stayed up all night.

Han Mochu also stayed up all night with him.

The next day, he went to the Ministry of War to sign the documents, and then led the carefully selected [-] elite soldiers to the territory of Monan.Along with the army were six midwives, four wet nurses, four nannies, and two imperial physicians sent by the king to the army overnight.These people were jointly selected by the king and the Meng family queen who was outside the palace.

Counting the months, Gu Jin will give birth in three months.

No matter how good the people in Monan are, Gu Hong and the Meng family are not at ease.

After marching for more than ten days, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu arrived at the border of Mengshi and stationed in the camp of the Chongming Army at the border of Mengshi.

Zhou Ren, the head coach of the Chongming Army, served as a nine-rank captain under Yun Lie's command when he was a recruit, and was transferred to the Chongming Army two years later until now.Gu Xiu led the king's division to attack the sixteen tribes of Mohe and suppressed Goguryeo. He also heard about it early in the morning.

Zhou Ren has always wanted to meet this young general with the blood of the Yun family since then, but now that he sees him, he is naturally not very happy.

"Your Highness, it's been a tiring march." Zhou Ren took Gu Xiu off his horse with both hands, greeted him with both hands, and led him into the camp: "At the end, I will prepare a table for you to welcome the wind. Disgusting."

"Thank you, General Zhou, there is no need to catch the wind." Gu Xiu nodded to the people, with a cold and resolute expression on his face, which made it impossible to see happiness or anger.

"General Zhou, don't get me wrong. Your Highness's rule in governing the army has always been that generals and soldiers are treated equally. Your kindness is appreciated, but the banquet is unnecessary." Han Mochu said with a smile.

"So that's the case." Zhou Ren nodded, feeling more and more respect for His Royal Highness the King of War.

In the tent, Gu Xiu simply used some dry food and hot soup, and then called Zhou Ren over to ask, "General Zhou, is Mengshi Border Pass still quiet these days?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the Mengshi border has always been quiet, but since the princess married into Monan territory, the Mengshi tribe has been fighting among themselves. There were also a few troubles on the border, but they were all suppressed and did not hurt me. people."

"En." Sitting in the tent, Gu Xiu flipped through the military newspapers of the past two years: "General Zhou has worked hard in defending the border these years."

As soon as Gu Xiu finished speaking, a small soldier outside the tent raised the curtain and came in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, General, Monan is here to ask to see you."

Gu Xiu looked up from the military newspaper, exchanged a glance with Han Mochu who was walking beside him, and said, "Please come in."

After a while, a Mongolian man with a beard and a leather robe came in from outside the tent, raised his arms and shoulders, and saluted Gu Xiuxing: "His Royal Highness Zhan Wang, I am very happy to hear that His Royal Highness Zhan Wang is here. Now Set up a banquet in Obao and wait for you to go to the banquet with the princess."

Gu Xiu's complexion was deep, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

His trip was under the banner of inspecting the border for the king, and he did not specifically mention that he would go to Monan.The Chongming army camp is [-] miles away from the territory of Monan, and he just arrived here today in less than two hours.

How did Azlan know?

Gu Xiu thought for a while, and then said: "That's fine, I haven't seen Eldest Sister for several years."

In the afterglow of sunset, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu rode their horses on the vast grassland.Behind him is a team of [-] personal soldiers who accompanied Gu Xiu.

All the way deep into the grassland, arrived in Monan territory.

Gu Xiu was riding on the horse, and from afar, he saw Ari Silan hugging Gu Jin, standing on the pasture to greet him.Wearing a red Mongolian robe, Gu Jin waved to him happily.

Gu Xiu didn't have time to rein in his horse, so he turned over and jumped off Fifty Gold's back, and ran towards Gu Jin impatiently: "Eldest sister! Eldest sister!"

Gu Jin also broke away from Ari Silan's arm, and quickly walked towards Gu Xiu: "Yun Chi, let Eldest Sister take a good look at you."

Gu Jin stood on tiptoe and stroked Gu Xiu's cheek.I haven't seen her for three years, but her younger brother is already more than half a head taller, and he is dressed in armor, with an extraordinary appearance: "He has grown a lot taller."

"Yeah." Gu Xiu lowered his head and let Gu Jin rub himself.I haven't seen her for three years, but the eldest sister is still so gentle and beautiful, but she is much thinner than before.

Thin?Gu Xiu suddenly noticed something strange.

Although he didn't understand such things as having children, he at least knew that it was logically impossible for his eldest sister to have such a flat belly when she was pregnant.

Can't help but stare at Gu Jin's lower abdomen and frown: "Sister, you..."

"Good boy, don't ask." Gu Jin was slightly taken aback, covering her lower abdomen with her palms, as if there was something hard to say: "It's the elder sister who didn't pay attention and didn't keep this child. Where is the father? Tell him slowly, you don't want to worry him when you go back, you know?"

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and glanced at him helplessly.Han Mochu held his fifty gold, and those personal soldiers also brought with them the nuns and imperial physicians who had conceived with his elder sister.

King Gu Hong and Empress Meng had been at odds for many years. For the sake of the child in Gu Jin's womb, they put aside their past entanglements and chose these people to take care of Gu Jin.

Gu You collected a bunch of toys for the child all over the capital, and dragged him to pick them out.

That day, in order to compete for the child's future love, the two of them held up a puppet to quarrel to everyone in Prince Ning's mansion, and they almost got in front of the king.

He also quietly raised a golden-brown pony for the child. The golden-brown Dawan colt is a rare breed that is rare in ten years.He was thinking of giving the child to him as soon as he was born.

Now that he is here, the elder sister actually told him that the child is gone?What kind of carelessness would cause the elder sister, who was supposed to be pampered and secure, to lose her first child?

Why didn't the eldest sister who lost her child return to court without completing her studies?Instead, ask him to hide the truth?

Han Mochu, who was leading the horse, walked up to him, got off his horse, and bowed to Gu Jin, "My minister Han Mochu, I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

"Since Han Canjun is here, let's go in, it's windy on the pasture." Gu Jin pulled Gu Xiu's wrist and said softly.

Han Mochu also noticed that the princess should not have a flat belly, so he quickly looked away.

Gu Xiu was pulled by Gu Jin and walked towards the ornately decorated Aobao not far away. When he passed the smiling Ari Silan, his gaze was sharp as a knife.

He glared fiercely.
