Liu Zhao was very jealous.
Now that the two sons have an uncle, they don’t want a father anymore.
What a heartless person.
Especially when Gu Ting was going to take the two boys out, the two boys were so happy that they probably forgot their own last names.
What? It's cold outside, are you worried the child will get cold?
hehe!
Children never know hot or cold.
The two brats were so focused on going out that they had forgotten their own names.
As soon as lunch was over, Gu Ting took the two children out of the palace, holding one in each hand.
Nanny Fang was extremely worried and repeatedly instructed the guards to protect the two young masters and to come back before dark.
Gu Ting laughed heartily, "Don't worry, Ma'am. There's no need to wait until dark. I'll bring them back myself."
"General Gu, hold on tight. Don't let the two young masters fall."
"Don't worry, Mammy, I won't fall."
If he wasn't afraid that Nanny Fang would worry, Gu Ting would have thrown the two children into the air like sandbags.
He remembered that this was his favorite game when he was a child.
Are you worried that you won’t be able to catch your child and he/she will fall to the ground?
Gu Ting laughed heartily.
With his skills, he could handle just two kids.
"Let's go out, let's go out..."
Yuger and Ehengger shouted loudly, very excited.
Brother Liu Zhengzheng saw this scene in the garden and said with envy, "I want to go out too."
"Without the consent of His Highness and Madam, you cannot leave the house casually."
Liu Zheng said pitifully, "My uncle never takes me out."
The servant whispered, "Uncle Xiao and Uncle Gu are naturally different."
Liu Zheng was very depressed, "I want Uncle Gu too."
The servant was horrified when he heard this. He quickly reminded him, "Sir, don't say this in front of His Highness and Madam, or you'll get a beating."
Liu Zheng's memory of being beaten with a stick is particularly vivid. Whenever he heard about being beaten with a stick, he would inexplicably feel pain in his buttocks.
"I really envy Brother Yu for being able to leave the house."
Liu Zheng hung his head, feeling hopeless about life.
…
Liu Zhao was extremely depressed and complained to Gu Jiu, "He must be trying to piss me off on purpose. He even wants to snatch my son away from me. This is really too much."
Hearing this, Gu Jiu sneered, "How dare you! You're even jealous of a child."
Liu Zhao snorted, "When I first came out of Zongzheng Temple, Heng Ge'er didn't kiss me."
"You're so serious, with a stern face all day long, so naturally Heng Ge'er is afraid of you."
"I'm his father, so I have to be serious. Otherwise, how can I be a strict father?"
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You can make excuses all you want, but it's useless anyway."
Liu Zhao was very upset, "Why don't you comfort me?"
Gu Jiu peeled the orange and put a slice into his mouth. "Try it, how does it taste? It was sent from the south, and it tastes pretty good to me."
Liu Zhao swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls. "It tastes good, very juicy, and sweet enough. How did you preserve it?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "This variety of orange can be stored for a long time. Put it in a paper bag and seal it as tightly as possible, and it can be stored for a longer time."
After saying that, Gu Jiu also ate a slice of orange. "It's really not easy to eat fresh fruit in the middle of winter. This is all for you. You should eat more fruit."
Liu Zhao accepted all the oranges and finished the remaining oranges in just a few bites.
Gu Jiu took out a handkerchief and wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth. "Don't be so irritable. I told you to cultivate your character, but why didn't you listen?"
Liu Zhao said aggrievedly: "He is deliberately trying to piss me off."
Gu Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are not a three-year-old child, and you are still fighting with him. I think you did it on purpose."
Of course Liu Zhao did it on purpose.
Life is boring, so find some fun.
Having an argument with Gu Ting is good for your physical and mental health.
Liu Zhao gave her a mischievous smile, "Did he come to you to complain?"
Gu Jiu chuckled twice, "Do you think my brother is like you, still acting like a child at such an old age?"
Liu Zhao grabbed her hand and said, "He can't act like a child because he's not as blessed as I am. I have you by my side, so I can naturally act like a child."
Gu Jiu spat at him, "You're still so proud."
"Of course, Your Highness must be proud."
Liu Zhao was not only proud, but also arrogant.
Burying her face in Gu Jiu's palm, the distance between the two of them was very close.
After he had enough fun, Gu Jiu asked, "Can you get out of bed now? Don't pretend with me."
Liu Zhao grinned, "I need to stay in bed for a few more days. I've already ordered people to spread the news of my illness to the palace so that my father will know. This beating was really bad for me. It was too cruel. I'm on the verge of becoming a cripple, and you still won't let me stay in bed for a few more days."
Gu Jiu looked up at the sky in silence, "Do you really think His Majesty will believe the rumors that you are about to become disabled?"
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it. This rumor will definitely reach the palace. That's a certainty."
Gu Jiu asked him, "Aren't you tired of lying down?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "With you by my side, I don't feel tired."
"Be careful not to overdo it, or His Majesty will punish you more severely."
"That's okay."
Just treat it as fun, he can afford it.
Gu Jiu had no choice but to say to Liu Zhao, "Since you want to stay in bed for a few more days, I will change the medicine for your wound to a normal one. I will grant your wish."
"No need to change the medicine." Liu Zhao was anxious.
He said to lie down for a few more days, but he didn't mean to lie in bed for twelve hours a day. Who could stand that?
When there is no one around, you still have to get up and move around to stretch your muscles.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Send another bottle of medicine tomorrow and stop playing tricks. It's New Year's Day, aren't you tired?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "As a prince, I play tricks every day for 365 days a year, and I don't feel tired."
Gu Jiu: “…” It turns out that after talking for so long, it’s all in vain.
Royal children are born to scheme against each other, just like ordinary people eat and drink water.
If you don't fight with each other every day, you will probably have to eat less.
Gu Jiu said to him, "I don't care what tricks you play, just don't play them on the children. When spring comes and we move to the other courtyard, you should behave yourself. Think of it as a vacation for yourself. In your free time, read some books, cultivate your character, and set a good example for the children."
"I'll listen to you."
He rubbed against Gu Jiu and said, "How about giving the kids a little sister?"
Gu Jiu patted him on the head gently and said, "Stop making trouble."
"No, it's not a fuss. Your Highness sincerely suggests giving the children a younger sister. A younger brother would also be nice. Fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight together against tigers. Having more brothers means more help in the future."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "As for having children, let fate take its course. Don't make such a fuss and yell at me to have a baby. Giving birth to a child will make me age at least three years."
"I like it even when I'm thirty years old."
"You're only thirty years old!" Gu Jiute said disdainfully. Can you speak?
Is she thirty years older?
She was so angry.
Liu Zhao: “…” He accidentally said the wrong thing again. He is so rude.
It turns out that age is a woman’s weakness, and even Gu Jiu is no exception.
Liu Zhao secretly reminded himself that he must never mention his age in front of Gu Jiu in the future.
What should he do now?
Of course I admit my mistake!
"Xiao Jiu, I said something wrong, please punish me."
"Write it down in the account book and I'll punish you together tomorrow. I'm going to make sure you never forget it!"
…
Before it got dark, Gu Ting sent the two little guys back.
The two little guys had obviously played crazy outside and fell asleep directly on Gu Ting. They didn't wake up even after being put on the bed.
Gu Jiu took off the outer clothes of the two children and covered them with quilts.
Then he led Gu Ting to the small study and said, "Where did you take them to play? They are sleeping so soundly."
Gu Ting drank his tea in one gulp and said with a smile, "I took them to the market. At the end of the year, all the street performers came out to perform. The two children were dazzled and excited. You could tell at a glance that they had never been to the market before."
Gu Jiu said: "The children are too young, I am worried about taking them to the market."
"I know, their status is not suitable for going to the market. It's just that I, as their uncle, was willful and took them to an inappropriate occasion. If the palace asks about it, you can just put the blame on me."
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to piss me off to death?" Gu Ji was very angry.
My sister is angry!
Oops!
Gu Ting looked guilty, laughed, and apologized: "I said the wrong thing, please don't be offended, sister."
"Hmph! Brother, you underestimate me. You are the children's uncle. No one will blame you for taking them to the market. But the premise is to ensure the safety of the two children and don't let the kidnappers abduct them."
Gu Ting quickly said, "Don't worry about their safety, sister. My two nephews have never left my sight since I left the house today. I also know that there are many kidnappers in the market, and I am afraid that I will lose the children."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Now you know why I don't take my child to crowded places. For some things, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Gu Ting scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "I misunderstood my sister. Don't be angry."
"I was just angry for a while, but now everything is fine."
Gu Ting chuckled, "Sister is very generous."
Gu Jiu urged him, "The wedding date is approaching, and all necessary preparations have been made. Go back and check if there's anything missing. Are you going to visit the Marquis of Lu's mansion before the wedding?"
Gu Ting nodded. "I've already sent a visiting card. I'll go to the Marquis of Lu's mansion tomorrow to pay him a visit. I hope Madam Lu won't mind me being a soldier."
Gu Jiu called him, "Don't worry, if Madam Lu really dislikes you, she wouldn't agree to this marriage. Go to bed early tonight and behave well tomorrow."
Gu Ting agreed verbally.
He observed Gu Jiu's eyebrows, expression, and face.
His expression gradually became serious.
He asked solemnly, "Sister, do you regret marrying Liu Zhao?"
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, "Why do you suddenly ask this question?"
"Sister, do you like Liu Zhao? Are you satisfied with your marriage?"
When Gu Jiu saw the seriousness in Gu Ting's eyes, she knew that she couldn't answer this question perfunctorily.
She thought deeply for a moment before saying, "Of course he loves me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live peacefully for so many years. If my marriage with him is out of ten, I'd give myself a seven."
Gu Ting was obviously a little surprised.
"My sister actually likes him?"
Gu Ting seemed to be shocked.
Gu Jiu burst into laughter. "He's excellent and sincere. There's no reason not to like him."
"But why did you only give it a score of seven? Don't you get along well with him?" Gu Ting was a little worried.
Gu Jiu shook his head. "Brother, don't worry about me. It's not what you think. The reason I only gave it a 7 is because he and I are too busy. Although we are husband and wife, we don't have much time to spend alone together."
Gu Ting felt relieved, as long as it wasn't what he worried about.
He smiled foolishly at Gu Jiu, and in a second he transformed from a serious and cold military commander into a silly brother who doted on his sister.
The two expressions are completely seamlessly connected.
Gu Jiu laughed out loud, "Brother, your face-changing skills are quite good."
Gu Ting was a little embarrassed. "The barracks are full of rough guys. If you're not a little tough, none of them will obey you. I hope you're not scared, sister."
"No! On the contrary, I think my brother looks very handsome and majestic like this."
Gu Ting felt more and more embarrassed, "It's just so-so."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Brother, there's no need to be so modest. Although I couldn't witness your heroic performance leading the troops in battle, I know that you have earned what you have today by risking your life. I am proud of you, brother."
The words "I am proud of my brother" moved Gu Ting deeply.
Such a tough guy actually had tears in his eyes.
"Sister, please stop talking. I'm really embarrassed to see people."
Gu Jiu smiled without saying anything and silently placed a cup of tea next to Gu Ting.
Gu Ting calmed down, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Bang!
He put the teacup down heavily and said solemnly: "I am proud of my sister."
Gu Jiu laughed, "We are proud of each other."
Gu Ting nodded heavily. "If one day Liu Zhao is defeated and has no hope of recovery, I will be your backer and protect you from the wind and rain!"
