Little bunny? Young Master Gu frowned slightly.
Jiang Xuan asked: "Princess, you didn't show any joy when you saw His Highness the Seventh Prince. What's going on?"
"All of you step back," Gu Xingnuo put the celadon teacup in his hand on the tea table and said in a low voice.
All the people serving in the side hall hurriedly retreated.
Jiang Ye and Jiang Xuan looked around and saw that they were the only ones left in the side hall, and they began to feel inexplicably nervous.
Gu Xingnuo pointed at the armrest of the chair and whispered, "It's understandable that the princess is angry."
"Yan Ruo, what do you mean?" Jiang Ye asked Gu Xingnuo with a puzzled look.
Gu Xingnuo smiled and said, "You can lead the troops to the king's defense, but why do you bring the Seventh Prince with you?"
"When the emperor is in trouble, how can His Majesty stay far away in Wuzhou? Even though he is still young, as a human being, wouldn't it be a joke for His Majesty to stay in a corner?" Jiang Ye said without thinking.
Young Master Gu looked at Lord Jiang and said, "I'm afraid you had already discussed this when you left Wuzhou?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Xuan was still young after all, and he couldn't keep his cool. He became anxious after hearing what Gu Xingnuo said.
"What do you mean?" Gu Xingnuo looked at Jiang Xuan and smiled, "Do you think everyone else is stupid? How old is the Seventh Prince? Can he fight in the battlefield now? Everyone says that children are innocent, who would blame a child for not saving his father? Even if His Majesty fell to the ground, would the Seventh Prince be able to help Him up and show filial piety? If you can't even lift a finger, let me ask you, what can the Seventh Prince do in times of war?!"
The Jiang brothers were stunned again by what Gu Xingnuo said. There must be people who scolded the Jiang family for bringing the Seventh Prince to Beijing, but they didn't expect that the first person to speak would be Gu Xingnuo, who should be in the same camp with them.
"We..." Jiang Xuan wanted to explain.
Major General Gu clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is in his prime, why are you so anxious? Are you still blaming the princess for not treating His Majesty well?"
Jiang Ye said to his sixth son, "Shut up."
"The emperor has just escaped from danger," Gu Xingnuo said, "What does your behavior make the emperor think? For the sake of the princess, the emperor will not treat the seventh prince badly, but if you keep chilling the emperor's heart, are you helping the seventh prince or harming him?"
Young Master Gu's words were very harsh, making Jiang Xuan unable to accept them, but Jiang Ye took Young Master Gu's words to heart. What Gu Yanruo said at this moment might be what the emperor wanted to say to their Jiang family.
"The emperor ordered Marquis Jiang to come to the capital," Gu Xingnuo said coldly, "I think it's better for Marquis Jiang not to come to the capital. Lead your troops back to Wuzhou immediately."
Jiang Gong said: "But this is an imperial decree."
"Write a letter of thanks," said Young Master Gu, "It states that the Wuzhou military camp cannot be without a general for a day, so I knelt in Yuzecheng to thank the emperor for his grace. I believe that the people around Lord Jiang will definitely write these words."
Lord Jiang asked tentatively, "Is this His Majesty?"
"Don't speculate on the emperor's intentions," Young Master Gu looked at Lord Jiang and said, "You two should take His Majesty the Seventh Prince back to Wuzhou."
"Take, take it back?" Jiang Xuan was about to jump again.
"If you don't take him back, won't people believe that your Jiang family brought the Seventh Prince to the capital, pretending to be loyal to the king but really trying to follow the emperor?" Young Master Gu said coldly.
Jiang Liugong took a breath of cold air.
Young Master Gu picked up the celadon teacup and took a sip of tea, then said, "The princess's anger can at least get her and the Seventh Prince out of this matter. You should not blame the princess for being ruthless. This is about His Majesty, and she cannot be lenient with you."
Jiang Ye said in a deep voice: "Are we going to let His Majesty the Seventh Prince stay away from Fengjing forever?"
"With the princess in Beijing, what do you have to worry about?" Gu Xingnuo said, "How can the princess not make plans for the Seventh Prince? Although the Zhao father and daughter have been executed, the remnants of the Zhao clan are still there, plus the five emperors, Beijing is not a paradise for the Seventh Prince."
The Jiang brothers stopped talking.
Young Master Gu smiled and said, "If the princess has a second brother, then you will have to worry about the Seventh Prince."
"So," Jiang Xuan said with a tangled look on his face, "The princess is not angry at the Seventh Prince, but at our Jiang family?"
Young Master Gu asked back, "What else?"
Jiang Xuan..., if he knew, why would he ask?
"Young Master," Nanny Wang was holding Yu Yi and standing in front of the side hall door.
"Come in," Gu Xingnuo responded.
Nanny Wang carried Yu Yi and walked to the standing Young Master Gu, and whispered, "Young Master, the Seventh Prince has fallen asleep."
Gu Xingnuo bowed to Yu Yi who was sleeping soundly.
Nanny Wang hurriedly pulled down the quilt covering Yuyi's face to make it easier for Gu Xingnuo to see Yuyi.
Gu Xingnuo reached out and pulled up the small blanket that Nanny Wang had pulled down, and whispered, "Nanny, please serve His Highness the Seventh Prince and stay in the palace for a few days."
Nanny Wang looked up at Gu Xingnuo.
Gu Xingnuo looked at Yu Yi with a smile on his face, and Nanny Wang couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Yes," Nanny Wang replied, "I understand."
Gu Xingnuo nodded, looked at the Jiang brothers, and said with a smile: "Come with me, I will take you to visit Fengjing City."
The Jiang brothers... they can't even have a meal at the princess's place?
"Please come in," Gu Xingnuo walked out of the side hall. He began to feel a dull pain in his ribs again, but Young Master Gu's steps were still steady.
"Young Master," Nanny Wang called out to Gu Xingnuo.
Jiang Ye pulled Jiang Xuan and said to Gu Xingnuo, "Let's go outside and take a look."
Gu Xingnuo clasped his fist towards Jiang Ye.
After the Jiang brothers walked out of the side hall, Nanny Wang said to Young Master Gu, "My princess..."
Young Master Gu half raised his hand, asking Nanny Wang to stop talking, and whispered, "I don't ask why the princess is angry, I only know that she got angry at the right time."
Nanny Wang was dumbfounded. How could her princess be so right?
Young Master Gu said, "You will follow His Majesty the Seventh Prince into the palace, so be careful about everything."
"Yes," although Nanny Wang was dumbfounded, she responded quickly.
"Don't bring His Majesty the Seventh Prince close to His Majesty," Young Master Gu thought for a moment and then told Nanny Wang, "His Majesty the Seventh Prince is still young and can't do much. Do you understand what I mean?"
Nanny Wang nodded. Even if the Seventh Prince was in front of the Emperor now, he would not compete for favor. What if, like before, he made the princess furious by peeing, and then he made the Emperor furious again?
"The princess is here," Gu Xingnuo looked at Yu Yi and said to Nanny Wang, "You don't have to worry about the future of the Seventh Prince. Just rest assured."
Nanny Wang couldn't feel at ease thinking about the old Taoist's words.
Gu Xingnuo walked out of the side hall.
Outside the side hall, Jiang Ye saw Gu Xingnuo coming out and asked, "Are we leaving now?"
"Let's go," Young Master Gu said with a smile, "You two haven't been to the capital for a long time. I will take you to see some new things in the capital."
When Yu Xiaoxiao came back after picking locust flowers again, another bolt from the blue struck her: the locust flowers were picked again, but the person who made locust flower cakes was gone!
