The Prince's Mansion was built from the former Xian Prince's Mansion. It was said that it was built, but in fact it was just a modification of the gate and the two stone lions in front according to the regulations, so as to conform to the status of the Prince. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the magnificence of the East Palace.

But Li Baolu still stared intently.

Rockery, lotus pond, green hills, Qushui, and courtyard corridors are combined into a pleasant miniature picture of the landscape. Just when she thought she had come to the end, she walked into the moon gate and saw a different scene. People suddenly see the light.

Li An saw that Li Baolu liked it very much, so he made a detour and took them all the way to enjoy it.

Either through the screen wall, or around a plum grove, Li Baolu can always find another scene with a different style behind the dark willows and bright flowers.

After walking for a long time, Li Baolu sighed, "Your house is really big."

It is comparable to a big park.

In fact, living in ancient times is still beneficial, that is, there is a lot of land, and you can occupy a piece of land at any time and build a park-like place to live by yourself. The park is still retro!

Li An smiled, "We only walked around for less than a quarter of the time. In fact, the best scenery is still in the backyard. There is a small garden there, which was built by the former virtuous prince himself. Although it is not as good as the imperial garden in the palace, But it’s also competing for beauty, and now it’s really the time when a hundred flowers are in full bloom, if you’re interested, I’ll let someone take you to see it later.”

Li Baolu shook her head, "Forget it, brother Yun will go home to take medicine in the afternoon, but you can ask someone to pick some flowers for me to bring, and then I will be rewarded with flowers."

Li An was startled, then burst out laughing, couldn't help but patted her little head and said, "Okay!"

Gu Jingyun stared at his hand coldly, Li An only felt the back of his hand get cold, he coughed lightly, then withdrew his hand, turned around and said, "Let's go, my father is probably waiting impatiently, let's go around here and go to the study gone."

Gu Jingyun's identity had to be kept secret, so the crown prince did not meet him in the hall, but in the more private study.

The prince was sitting behind the desk with a book, his eyes were unfocused looking three inches in front of him, and when he heard the movement from the door, he looked up and saw Gu Jingyun almost at a glance.

Gu Jingyun and Qin Xinfang look alike, but more like his mother, so that even though his mouth is tightly pursed, his face is also soft, which makes people feel less severe.

The prince looked at him, and couldn't help but think of that bloody day fourteen years ago, thinking that this child had been in exile since birth, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu lifted up their clothes and were about to kneel, the crown prince immediately got up and grabbed Gu Jingyun in three steps and two steps, and said with reddish eyes: "You and my brother, why are you so polite?"

Gu Jingyun was stunned for a moment before remembering that his uncle was once the prince's young teacher. Although he was not the prince's tutor, he also gave lectures to the prince and was a teacher, and he and Baolu both studied under his uncle. Fellow.

He hesitated for a moment, but still stood firmly along the prince's hand.

Li Baolu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and stopped kneeling. The husband and wife stood up straight, looking at their senior brother with piercing eyes, and then turned their heads to look at their nephew.

Li An had a bad intuition, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Father, Jing Yun is injured, let him sit down."

Only then did the prince seriously look at Gu Jingyun's face, nodded and said: "It's a little pale, but have you seen the doctor? The imperial doctor who was placed in the palace is still at the house, why don't you let them show you."

"Thank you Your Highness, I have already seen the doctor, and I am recovering well now, so I don't need to bother the imperial physician anymore." Gu Jingyun paused and said: "Besides, it is inconvenient for Yun to disclose his identity now, let alone invite the imperial physician."

The prince sighed and asked, "You don't want to recognize Hui Hui's family? Then what are your plans for the future?"

This question was too intimate, and Gu Jingyun felt a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips and remained silent.

Li Baolu who was on the side smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's not that you don't recognize the Gu family, but you have to wait until Brother Yun wins the first prize in the exam before recognizing him. By then we will be returning home."

Only then did the prince see Li Baolu, "This is..."

Gu Jingyun introduced with a serious face, "This is my wife."

The prince opened his mouth wide, glanced back and forth between the two of them, and then looked at his son.

Li An knew it was going to be bad, he forgot to tell his father about it.

In fact, it's really not his fault. The two children are too young and have no consummation. They usually get along more like brothers and sisters than husband and wife, so he subconsciously ignores their relationship.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness just glanced at his son and did not discuss this issue in depth. He smiled and looked at Li Baolu, looking at her like a daughter-in-law.

At first glance, I noticed her pair of black eyes, which were clean and pure. People with such eyes are usually not mediocre, and the prince was very satisfied.

Then I saw Li Baolu's face, um, round, with baby fat on her cheeks, she looked very blessed.

Then there is the face.

Prince: ...

His Royal Highness looked at the bronze-colored little girl, and then at the fair-skinned young boy. He felt that the genders of the two seemed to be reversed.

Fortunately, Li Baolu's face was ruddy, healthy and lively, the prince could only smile and ask, "Why is the little girl so tanned?"

Li Baolu looked at the prince silently for a while, then pointed at Li An and said, "He's black too."

Li An explained with a smile, "Father, it's not that we're getting dark, it's that Jing Yun won't get dark no matter how sun-dried."

The prince turned his head to look at his son, really, the son went out and came back in the dark several times, because the whole person was dark, it's not too abrupt, let alone a big man who would care about this?

So he really didn't realize that Gu Jingyun was particularly conspicuous standing between the two of them.

Gu Jingyun didn't like this topic, so he changed his mind and said, "What is your Highness's order when you see Yun?"

The crown prince calmed down, looked at Gu Jingyun and sighed: "I have been separated from your uncle for fourteen years. To avoid suspicion, we never correspond. Although we know from Chen Tong and others that he is fine in Qiongzhou, Qiongzhou is really dangerous. I feel uneasy, so I want to ask him how he is doing in Qiongzhou."

"Uncle is very good in Qiongzhou. Because there are several uncles taking care of us, we don't worry about the annual tax and corvee like other people. We can read and play chess after working in the fields every day. It's not too hard."

The crown prince's eyes turned red when he heard it. Qin Xinfang's family background is prominent, and he was young and talented.

Gu Jingyun said it was not bitter, it was because he had never enjoyed the glory of the capital, and the source of all suffering was the bitterness of heart.

And the viciousness of exile is here.

Kill the head and kill the body, exile and kill the heart!

Seeing that his father was sad, Li An hurried forward to support him, "Father, Jing Yun came back this time to find a way to rehabilitate Mr. Qin, maybe you will be able to see him in two years..."

Li An comforted the prince, but Li Baolu looked at the prince's slightly blue lips and slightly trembling hands in thought. In order to verify what she thought, Li Baolu took the initiative to take a step forward to hold his other arm, and said obediently: "Your Highness , don't be sad, my uncle, aunt and mother live happily in Qiongzhou..."

Li Baolu's right hand supported his arm, and his left hand held onto his wrist, the prince's choppy heartbeat was transmitted through his fingers...

Li Baolu's heart sank slightly.

The prince felt much better after drinking a cup of hot water. He smiled at the two children and said, "I wanted to ask you to comfort me, but I didn't expect to ask you to comfort me."

He pondered for a moment and said, "You really don't have to avoid the Gu family. Although I can't rehabilitate the Qin family, I can still protect you."

"You are the eldest son of the second wife of the Gu family, with an honorable status, and you are escorted by the prince's mansion. No matter what you do in the Gu family, I can guarantee it for you."

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Does that include the title of the Gu family?"

The crown prince was startled, and then burst out laughing. He looked at Gu Jingyun with radiant eyes, and said loudly: "As long as you fight, I will escort you!"

He won't be able to fight for the throne for the time being, but he can still guarantee a small Marquis.

Gu Jingyun also smiled, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't like the title of Marquis of Zhongyong."

The prince asked curiously, "Then what title do you want?"

"I don't want a title. A title is a protection for future generations. However, I think the ability of future generations determines their rights. There is really no need to worry about them."

"Most people in the world aim to be an official to honor their ancestors and seal their wives and sons. If you don't want a son, why do you want to be an official?"

"I became an official to realize my ambitions and realize my own value. What does it have to do with being a wife and son? They have to put in as much effort and take as much responsibility as they want for the rights they want."

The prince then looked at Li Baolu, "Aren't you afraid that she will blame you if you don't earn the phoenix crown and Xiapei for her?"

Gu Jingyun raised his chin proudly and said, "It's my honor to be able to honor Baolu, but I think she prefers the honor she earned."

Li Baolu had a bright smile on his face, looked back at the prince with piercing eyes and said, "Your Highness, I can earn such things by myself."

"The edict is just a means of rewarding the imperial court. There are far more honorable titles in this world. There is really no need to be persistent." Gu Jingyun's eyes were full of arrogance, and he unabashedly exposed the original intention of the imperial court in front of two royal people. , but he does not despise the system, apparently agrees

He said, "There are many ordinary people in the world. They love this honor and think that conferring their wives and children is an important standard to reflect their own value. Therefore, the edict and title inheritance system can motivate the people and officials. However, I am not a layman. I just want to do Just do what I want to do and achieve the effect I want to achieve.”

The prince couldn't help coughing lightly, and looked at the two children in surprise.

His son had specifically mentioned it to him before, saying that Gu Jingyun was very proud.

He didn't take it seriously, because Qin Xinfang was also very proud, talented people have arrogance, as long as he can recognize his own position, he doesn't mind the other party's pride.

But only now did he realize that Gu Jingyun's arrogance was different from others'. He was not proud of what he knew, but was proud of the strength of his heart and the pride of his relatives.

That kind of arrogance is engraved in his bones, as if he stands on a cloud and looks down on the entire dynasty, but he does not despise all living beings, nor will he look down on this decadent dynasty, he will retain the pride in his bones to respect all living beings and this dynasty.

Such a person does not seek power.

The prince couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked him like an adult, "Then what do you want to do, and what effect do you want to achieve?"

Gu Jingyun was startled, Baolu had asked him this question before, but at that time the road was long, and all he wanted was to rehabilitate his uncle, because he had no contact with the outside world, so he could only imagine wildly.

But now, Gu Jingyun's eyes gradually became firmer, he looked at the prince and said: "I want to be the emperor's teacher, I want to educate all the people in the world, so that they will no longer worry about their own ignorance."

The crown prince and Li An opened their mouths wide, but Li Baolu lowered her head and tried her best to hold back a smile, her shoulders shrugged uncontrollably.
