Gu Jiu snuggled in Liu Zhao's arms, relaxing her whole body.
She asked casually, "Why did you invite Princess Huyang here? Do you really think you can disgust Master Wuwang?"
"What kind of master is he?"
Liu Zhao spoke with disdain, not hiding his dissatisfaction with Wuwang. "He's just a drunkard and a meat lover, his six senses are not pure."
Gu Jiu pinched Liu Zhao's waist, but it was too hard to pinch. It was really depressing.
"You've been living in Zongzheng Temple for almost a year, and you haven't gained any fat?"
Liu Zhao hugged her and said, "You are not satisfied with your husband's strong body? You are asking for too much."
Gu Jiu turned around and rolled his eyes at him. "I told you to cultivate your character in Zongzheng Temple, but I see your temper seems to be even more irritable than before. Are you provoked? Did the Fifth Master embarrass you at the Marquis of Lu's Mansion?"
The Fifth Master that Gu Jiu mentioned was Liu Zhao’s uncle, Fifth Master Pei.
Liu Zhao chuckled, "He's just like that."
Gu Jiu turned over and faced Liu Zhao. "Then tell me, what exactly triggered you? You have such a bad temper, and you actually want to use Huyang to disgust Master Wuwang. How childish."
"It doesn't matter whether it's childish or not, as long as it's useful."
Gu Jiu scoffed, "It turned out to be useless. You should know that under those circumstances, I would never let Hu Yang meet Wu Wang."
Liu Zhao held her hand tightly, "Do you really think I'm childish and have a bad temper?"
"Aren't you childish? Aren't you irritable?" Gu Jiu asked back.
Liu Zhao rested his head on one hand, "Father's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to guess."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "What's so hard to guess? Your Majesty does everything for only one purpose, to consolidate the imperial power and make decisions arbitrarily. Court officials will threaten the imperial power, and the princes will also threaten the imperial power. If you strip away the father-son relationship and think like a minister, everything will become simple."
Liu Zhao stared at her. "So in private you never call him Father, but only Your Majesty."
Gu Jiu nodded in acknowledgment and said solemnly: "He is not the emperor, he is just His Majesty."
Liu Zhao laughed, "It seems I am confused by the situation and still have high hopes for him."
Gu Jiu hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Did His Majesty embarrass you? Is it because of that incident?"
The thing she was talking about was naturally the imperial seal.
Liu Zhao nodded first, then shook his head. "It's not entirely because of that incident. But that incident was the trigger."
Gu Jiu gritted his teeth and asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "You once told me that my grandfather was a top playboy in the capital when he was young, and he played with everyone. So, is his death related to that incident?"
Liu Zhao frowned and stared at her blankly, but said nothing.
Gu Jiu waited for a long time, but got no response. He sighed, "Forget it, just pretend I never asked."
"I have no idea!"
Liu Zhao's voice was very soft.
"I really don't know the cause of Mr. Gu's death. Chen Dachang may know about this, but he may not tell the truth."
Gu Jiu was silent.
Liu Zhao took her hand and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Jiu smiled at him and said, "I'm thinking about how to pry open Chen Dachang's mouth."
Huh?
Liu Zhao looked at her curiously.
Gu Jiu had a smile on his face and spoke in a gentle tone, but his words were not gentle.
"Chen Dachang is now in my hands. I don't believe I can't pry him open."
Liu Zhao asked directly: "What do you want me to do?"
Gu Jiu shook his head. "You don't need to show up. You should take care of your own affairs first, control your temper, and don't release Princess Huyang for no reason. Wuwang is a man of ideas and has strong action. Such talents should be given enough respect."
Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously, "He is not irreplaceable."
Gu Jiu patiently advised: "You are right, he is not the only one. But it would be difficult to find another person as capable as him who is also willing to work for you.
Don't do things that will make you regret. As a leader, being open-minded and tolerant is a basic quality.
Even if you don't like him in your heart, or even hate him, as long as his crime does not deserve the death penalty, you should not decide his life or death based on your personal preferences.
Unless, all you want is to be a dandy prince, then it doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want."
Liu Zhao fell silent.
He hugged Gu Jiu tightly.
After a long time, he sighed, "I'm so tired!"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't remember who said it, but life is a journey of cultivation. As a prince, born into a life of luxury, wealth and splendor, I should bear more pressure than others."
Liu Zhao lowered his head and rubbed against her neck. "If you're not here with me, I don't know if I can hold on."
Gu Jiu patted him and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Even without me, you can still hold on."
It’s just that there will be more things to worry about and people will be more tired.
Liu Zhao laughed. "Wuwang was right about one thing. The best thing I've done in my life is marrying you."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, a little proudly, "Don't make me angry in the future, don't be so childish."
"You haven't told me yet that marrying me is the luckiest thing in your life." Liu Zhao acted like a rogue.
Ugh!
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said seriously, "The thing I'm most grateful for in my life is giving birth to two children, Yu Ge'er and Heng Ge'er."
"What about me?" Liu Zhao insisted like a jealous child.
Gu Jiu laughed, "As for you, don't you know where you stand in this family?"
So sad!
Liu Zhao suffered 100,000 points of damage.
He knew that he had no status at all in this family.
At this time, the two brothers Yu Ge'er and Heng Ge'er walked in hand in hand.
"Daddy, Mommy!" Yu Ge'er greeted them obediently.
Heng Ge'er followed suit and bowed, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Hahaha……
Liu Zhao had no sympathy at all and was the first to laugh.
Gu Jiu hit him and quickly picked up Heng Ge'er.
"Is Heng'er hurt from the fall?"
Heng Ge'er covered his head with his hands, looking confused and innocent. My heart melted at the sight of him.
"I'll blow air on my brother." Yu Ge'er blew air on Heng Ge'er's head.
Heng Ge'er stretched out his hand and asked Yu Ge'er to hug him.
Yu Ge'er was very happy.
Gu Jiu said, "You can't hold your brother. Sit on the soft couch first and hold your brother."
Yu Ge'er quickly climbed onto the soft couch and patted the seat next to him, which was reserved for Heng Ge'er.
Two brothers, sitting side by side.
At first glance, they look like they were carved from the same mold.
If you look closely, you will find that there are still big differences between the two brothers.
After Liu Zhao finished laughing, he reached out to hug Heng Ge'er.
Heng Ge'er was not familiar with him and did not want him to hold him. His body was clearly resisting.
Liu Zhao had a frustrated expression on his face and pinched his nose, "Am I so annoying?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Spend more time with him when you have time. After a few days, when he gets familiar with you, he will let you hold him." Gu Jiu said softly.
Yu Ge'er protected Heng Ge'er, "Daddy, don't scare your brother."
Liu Zhao knocked Yu Ge'er on the head and said, "Stinky boy, have you finished your homework?"
Yu Ge'er nodded heavily.
"Have you practiced martial arts today?" Liu Zhao asked again.
Yu Ge'er shook his head slightly, obviously feeling guilty.
Liu Zhao cracked his fingers, making a creaking sound. "I'm free today, so I'll teach you myself. Hurry up."
After saying that, he was the first to leave the small study.
Yu Ge'er looked so depressed and angry.
Gu Jiu looked at him with amusement and rubbed his head. "Go quickly, don't keep Daddy waiting for too long."
"Mom, can we not practice martial arts today?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "No! Your father finally has time to teach you personally. This is a rare opportunity and you must not miss it. Go quickly."
"Well, can my son have an extra big cream bun tonight?"
"No! You can only eat one, that's what we agreed on."
Yu Ge'er: "..." I want to cry!
He lowered his head and walked towards the door.
When he reached the door, he turned back to look at Gu Jiu, as if hoping for a miracle.
Gu Jiu waved at him and said, "Go quickly, don't waste time."
Yu Ge'er: "..." Growing up is so hard! I envy Heng Ge'er, he doesn't have to learn anything.
Yu Ge'er went to the training ground with a hopeless heart.
Nanny Fang wiped her tears secretly and said, "Look how thin my brother is."
Gu Jiu laughed when she heard this, "Don't worry, Ma'am. Brother Yu'er's current weight is just right for his height."
After more than a year, Yu Ge'er finally lost weight. Some people also said that Yu Ge'er grew taller and became thinner, so he lost weight.
Whatever the reason, Yu Ge'er looks just right now, neither fat nor thin.
For the time being, Gu Jiu doesn’t have to worry about Yu Ge’er growing up to be a fat boy and being laughed at by others.
Brother Heng was lying on the soft couch with his little butt sticking up, and he had fallen asleep.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "How can this child sleep so well? Didn't he sleep at night?"
Nanny Fang said quickly, "Brother Heng suffers from the same summer heat as Madam. He can't sleep well at night if the weather is a little hot."
If you can't sleep well at night, you can only make up for it by sleeping during the day.
Gu Jiu picked up Heng Ge'er and put him on the bed.
This child doesn't want to lie down.
As soon as I put him on the bed, he turned over and continued to sleep on his stomach with his little butt raised high.
"Is this sleeping position comfortable?"
"All children are like this. Many children of this age like to sleep with their butts sticking out." Aunt Fang said happily.
Gu Jiu shook his head, not understanding the world of children.
Take out a thin blanket and cover the child.
Then she ordered, "Ask the kitchen to bake a box of cookies and bring them to the palace for Yu Ge'er tomorrow."
Nanny Fang was overjoyed. "I'll go right away. Brother Yu loves biscuits the most, and he will definitely be happy tomorrow morning."
