The night of September 30th was quite unusual compared to ordinary days.
At least for the Seventh Prince's Mansion, it is very unusual.
This night, the night was as cold as water.
Gu Qingyan brought An Yining to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. The guards guarding the Seventh Prince's Mansion changed their duties that night and quietly avoided the back entrance of the Seventh Prince's Mansion at a specific time. Gu Qingyan's
At this specific time, the carriage quietly entered the Seventh Prince's Mansion from the back door.
The Seventh Prince's Mansion is somewhat similar to the Gu family's old residence. Although it does not have the history of a wealthy family that has gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, it is equally quiet, so quiet that even the footsteps of patrolling guards in the mansion cannot be heard.
An Yining sat in the carriage. After the carriage entered the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he curiously opened the curtain and looked out. After looking for a while, he tugged on the corner of Gu Qingyan's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Little uncle, here is
Is it the Seventh Prince’s Mansion?"
Gu Qingyan nodded, "Yeah."
An Yining asked again, "Then I will see the Seventh Prince soon?"
Gu Qingyan nodded again, "Yeah."
An Yining was a little excited, "I heard from my little aunt that His Royal Highness is a very good person, with a good character and excellent moral character. He is also good at both civil and military affairs. Although the rules are strict, the etiquette and upbringing are all..."
Gu Qingyan: "..."
He couldn't help but interrupt An Yining, "Your little aunt praised him so much?"
An Yining: "..."
Yes, my little aunt praised His Highness Seventh Prince a lot of good things.
He looked at Gu Qingyan. Although the small luminous pearls in the car were not bright, he could still see the displeased look on his face. After spending these days together, he finally understood that his little uncle loved to be jealous. As long as his little aunt
Whoever praises you will be rewarded.
Hey, he was in a very difficult position even as a child, and he accidentally spilled the beans.
He flattened his mouth and immediately changed his words, "My little aunt only praised His Highness the Seventh Prince a few times. My little uncle has praised you the most. She said that you are the person who is the most important to him." p>
Gu Qingyan curled up her lips and smiled.
An Yining turned his head away speechlessly. He probably understood that his uncle now likes to catch him and deliberately lure him to say some things that his aunt praised him and even praised him for saying she likes him.
Only he can bully a child like this.
An Yining sighed at a young age, holding it in for a long time like an old father, before being pulled back by curiosity, and asked Gu Qingyan, "Little uncle, what should I call him when I meet His Highness the Seventh Prince later?" Gu Qingyan said warmly, "In terms of seniority, it seems that you should call him cousin."
"It seems?"
"Well, that's about it."
An Yining: "..."
My uncle is so smart, so he doesn’t care about seniority? Why does this sound unreliable?
After the carriage entered the Seventh Prince's Mansion through the back door, it walked for a while, passed the second gate, and entered Chu Yan's courtyard directly.
The old King Nanyang had not seen his little great-grandson for some days. He was thinking about it and had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard for a long time. When he saw the carriage coming, he immediately stepped forward.
An Yining opened the car curtain and shouted happily, "Great-grandfather."
"Hey, hey, hey." Old Nanyang Wang was beaming with joy, "Great-grandfather's little darling, great-grandfather misses you."
An Yining: "..."
Did the old man, great-grandfather, feel so depressed in the Seventh Prince's Mansion? Otherwise, he didn't call him "little darling" so enthusiastically when they first met, but now he is so excited to call him "little darling"?
An Yining felt that ever since he stayed with his uncle, he had been trained by his weird and twisted thoughts to grow into an adult. He was also called a little darling. He blushed a little embarrassedly.
.
Gu Qingyan chuckled, "It's a cold and cold night in late autumn, so Grandpa An just waits in the house."
"No problem, no problem, my old bones have been strengthened with good medicine all day long." The old Nanyang King held An Yining in his arms, lifted him up high, and then put him down.
Asked, "Did you make any big noise when you came?" "
"No." Gu Qingyan shook his head, "Grandpa An, don't worry."
Old Nanyang King nodded and greeted the two of them, "Xiao Qi is in the study room discussing matters with his staff. I'll ask someone to shout. You follow me into the room first."
Gu Qingyan nodded.
The old King of Nanyang took An Yining's little hand and asked An Yining what he had been doing in the Gu family these days?
An Yining answered one by one with a red face.
The old King of Nanyang nodded assuredly, "Well, it's good, not bad. Sure enough, your little aunt did the right thing. You can learn a lot from Huai'an."
An Yining thought to herself, couldn't he learn a lot of things? After following his uncle for a few years, when he grows up, he will probably learn everything from his uncle, good or bad, especially if he plays tricks.
Ba Qipa's various awkward methods of tying up the girl he likes can always make him dumbfounded.
Alas, my little aunt was bound by his face and various methods.
Chu Yan arrived very quickly, faster than the old Nanyang King, Gu Qingyan, and An Yining imagined.
The three of them had almost sat down and had not even taken a sip of tea when they saw a figure blowing into the yard and into the house with the cold air of the dark night blowing like a gust of wind.
The door opened, and Chu Yan stood at the door slightly out of breath, his hair a little messy by the wind. He ignored the old Nanyang King and Gu Qingyan, and fixed his eyes on An Yining's little face.
Go up, my eyes were fixed for a while, and I didn’t move for a long time.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "Ning'er will stay with me in the capital from now on. I will have to trouble His Highness to take care of you a lot in the future."
Chu Yan pulled An Yining to sit down and said, "I will certainly spare no effort in my cousin's bloodline."
The old King of Nanyang took over, "Back then, after Qichen was buried in the battlefield, his fiancée Qing Ling was about to die for love. Fortunately, the little girl noticed something was wrong and rushed to the Xu family in time to save Qing Ling. When the doctor diagnosed her pulse
, found out she was pregnant..."
The old prince truthfully told Chu Yan the story of An Huajin hiding An Yining.
With the Gu family and Chu Yan in the capital, An Yining would not be afraid even if one day she appeared in front of others and had her identity investigated thoroughly. With Gu Qingyan and Chu Yan joining forces, she would not be afraid.
After hearing this, Chu Yan still said the same thing, "My cousin is really smart."
Gu Qingyan could roughly detect that Chu Yan's tone was slightly different every time he mentioned An Huajin. After all, the day of the palace banquet still left traces in his heart, but the person was already him, so he still had to thank Chu Yan for his heart.
Chun Zheng did not take advantage of others in such situations.
He asked with a slight smile, "Does His Highness the Seventh Prince have any good ideas for countering the rebellion in Wufeng Mountain?"
Chu Yan shook his head, "Not yet."
Gu Qingyan said warmly, "If Wufeng Mountain confronts the imperial court, it will not achieve any good results. Attacking head-on is not a good method. It is better to use wisdom. I have a method here. Can you listen to it, His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
Chu Yan sat upright and said, "Listen attentively."
