"I'm here," Yu Xiaoxiao responded to Gu Xinglang. ..
Gu Xinglang pushed the door open and entered the room.
Gu Xingyan turned her back and wiped her tears.
"Second brother," Gu Xinglang walked behind Gu Xingyan and called out.
"Yeah," Gu Xingyan turned to look at Gu Xinglang, his eyes sore again.
Gu Er Shao looked like he had been crying. Gu Xinglang thought that his second brother was crying for his father, so he said, "Second brother, although father can't wake up now, he is finally back, isn't he?"
Gu Xingyan turned his head and looked at their father again, and said, "Yes, it's good that you can come back. People can't ask for too much."
Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice: "Have you told your second brother everything?"
Yu Xiao: "Is there something we should hide from our second brother?"
"Yes," Gu Xingyan said, "What are you hiding from me?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "No."
Gu Xingyan waved his hand and said, "Princess, little brother, please let me stay with father for a while."
"Ah?" Yu Xiaoxiao frowned. Now is not the time for you to show your father's love, second brother!
Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Let's go out first."
"What about second brother?" Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at Gu Xingyan and asked.
Gu Xinglang said: "Let's go have breakfast."
Yu Xiaoxiao, who had already eaten quite a few buns, nodded. If there was anything, she could talk about it after she had eaten her fill. (Now is not the time for fatherly love, then is it time for you to eat? o(╯□╰)o)
Hearing the door open behind him, Gu Xingyan's tears burst out again. He thought that the last time his whole family went to jail was the biggest hardship, but he didn't expect that an even greater hardship was waiting for their Gu family here!
"Father," Gu Xingyan called out to General Gu.
General Gu closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Gu Xingyan smiled, but her tears flowed even more violently, and she murmured, "What the hell is this?"
Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao past the Chaoshou corridor before he stopped and said, "Second brother doesn't like people seeing him cry."
Yu Xiao: "Isn't it a normal physiological reaction to cry when you are sad?"
Gu Xinglang touched Yu Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Let's go eat."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked back at the end of the corridor and asked Gu Xinglang, "What will Second Brother do to your mother?"
Gu Xinglang also glanced at the end of the corridor and said, "I don't know."
Yu Xiaoxiao bit her cheek. That was her biological mother. Could she be killed or scolded? If she was starved, it would be said that the son was unfilial. What a cruel world!
In the Gu Mansion, after hearing what the servant said, the old lady waved her hand and swept all the objects on the coffee table to the ground.
The maids and servants in the room didn't dare to say a word.
"Go down," the old lady said to the servant standing in front of her.
The servant said: "Madam, the second young master said..."
"Go down!" the old lady said sternly.
The servant didn't dare to say anything more and retreated with his head lowered.
A housekeeper beside an old lady whispered, "Old lady, the second young master must be looking for the princess and the young master for something urgent."
"Urgent matter?" The old lady said, "Fengjing City has been pacified, what urgent matter could he have?"
The housekeeper didn't know how to persuade him. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Maybe it's something in the court?"
The old lady smiled and said, "The princess is amazing."
Other people's wives are content to stay at home and take care of their husbands, but this daughter-in-law of their Gu family is able to take care of the affairs in the court!
"It's delicious," Yu Xiaoxiao stuffed the dough sticks into her mouth and said to Gu Xinglang, "Xiao Gu, you eat too."
Gu Xinglang was already full after eating the steamed bun. He looked at the bowl of porridge in front of him and said to Yu Xiao, "Eat first. If it's not enough, ask someone to buy more."
Yu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and continued eating.
Gu Xinglang scooped a spoonful of porridge into Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth and said, "Eat slowly. Everything on the table is yours."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and stuffed her mouth with porridge and fried dough sticks. Her Royal Highness the Princess had difficulty speaking at the moment.
"Should we go to the palace?" Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao while feeding her porridge.
Yu Xiaoxiao swallowed what she had in her mouth and said, "It's still early now, let's go at noon."
Gu Xinglang said, "Are you going to check the meal time?"
"What else?" Yu Xiao: "I'm going to talk to my dad about life?"
"Why don't we not go?" Gu Xinglang suggested. He was afraid that his father-in-law wouldn't be able to bear it if this continued.
"My father is not short of money," Yu Xiao said, "Let's take my second brother with us."
"Second brother probably wants to be with father," said Gu Xinglang.
"Okay, let's pack some food for Second Brother," Yu Xiaoxiao immediately thought of a solution.
Xianzong sneezed while sitting in the imperial study.
All the ministers said together: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
Xianzong looked outside the door of the imperial study and said, "Have the princess and her husband arrived?"
Immediately, a guard outside the door replied, "Your Majesty, have the princess and her husband entered the palace yet?"
"Oh," Xianzong looked down at the memorial at hand and said, "It's not time for dinner yet, Li Qing, please continue."
My Lords...
More than an hour later, the two officials from the Ministry of Revenue were arguing in the imperial study. Just as they were about to start cursing, a supervisor outside the door reported, "Your Majesty, the princess and her husband are outside the palace asking for an audience."
Everyone looked at the sky outside the window together.
Xianzong said, "It's time for dinner."
My Lords...
"We've had enough roast duck," Yu Xiaoxiao discussed with Gu Xinglang as she stood in front of the Imperial Palace. "We'll ask the chef to make roast suckling pig for us. What do you think, Gu?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Okay."
"Roast suckling pig is delicious too," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the imperial palace with longing. Her tyrant father threatened to commit suicide and demanded that she not enter the palace without his consent, so now she could only wait here.
Gu Xinglang adjusted the butterfly hairpin on Yu Xiaoxiao's hair bun.
Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Xiao Gu, don't you have anything you want to eat?"
Gu Xinglang smiled softly and said, "I can eat anything." After returning to Fengjing, Gu Xinglang discovered that he had lost his sense of taste, and everything he ate was tasteless. However, there were so many problems now, and Gu Xinglang didn't want to make Yu Xiaoxiao worry about him anymore, so he kept it a secret.
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu, you have to have your own hobbies."
Gu Xinglang flicked the butterfly jade hairpin and whispered, "Do you like this so much? I see you wear it every day."
Yu Xiaoxiao touched the jade hairpin on her head and said honestly, "This is a gift from you."
Gu Xinglang said, "Let's go to the street later to see if there are other styles. I'll give you a few more."
Yu Xiao: "Then you might as well treat me to a meal. If it weren't for my dad looking like he wanted to die every time he saw me without something on my head, I wouldn't bother wearing it."
Gu Xinglang...
"Besides, I have to keep the things you gave me well," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xinglang seriously and said, "What a pity it would be if they were lost."
Gu Xinglang smiled, it was a shallow smile with a hint of bitterness. What could he leave for the person he loved in this life?
