National Beauty

The study was silent, Guo Boyan looked down at the letter, and Father Fu stared at him inquisitively. Only in front of the desk next to the window, Shou Wangye's brush touched the rice paper and made a small sound. The man wears a tea-white robe, the clouds are light and breezy, like a person living quietly in the mountains and old forests, but the python pattern embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and hem reveals the inherent dignity. Look down.

Guo Boyan swept his gaze over the golden python, folded the letter again, Gongsheng saluted the King Shou, and said solemnly: "Weichen will definitely investigate these two things thoroughly and give the prince an explanation."

Zhao Heng only lowered his eyes to paint. On the pale yellow rice paper, a turquoise bonsai gradually took shape.

Grandpa Fu explained to the master: "Duke Guo, your family prince has no intention of worrying about it, but since the emperor has given the four girls to the prince to marry him, everything that happens to the four girls is the prince’s business. In June, the four girls fell into the water at Anguo Temple. There were a lot of rumors outside. During the draft, the four girls suddenly developed a rash on their faces, causing artificial rumors to slander the four girls and damage their appearance. This is all a major event. Naturally, the prince must check it out? "

Guo Boyan defaulted.

Mr. Fu continued: "This investigation resulted in these two letters being found. The prince thinks that the prince can find out what we can find, the prince of the country must be well aware of it, and that it has already solved the problem except for the future problems, so the prince did not ask. The grandfather blamed the country, and only sent Liu Xi to serve the four girls, just as a precaution. But I never expected that there was only one month left before the prince’s wedding, and the four girls encountered such a trouble again. Song Jiadeng heard the drum beat, and the world knows that it is not just the reputation of the grandfather and the four girls that is bad, don't you think?"

The eunuch's voice was too small, and what he said seemed calm and quiet, but Guo Boyan immediately knelt down to the king of Shou, and said solemnly: "Weichen is incompetent, and the tired prince's reputation is damaged, please confess the prince."

"This is not an example." Zhao Heng said lightly.

"Weichen dare not." Guo Boyan promised with his head down.

Zhao Heng said.

Father Fu bends down to help Guo Boyan get up, and laughs: "The Lord Guo is in charge of the front office of the palace. He leaves early and returns late every day. It is inevitable that he cannot take care of the affairs of the family. It is just that the wedding is approaching, and the prince does not want to make any more mistakes. Just say that. The Song family's husband and wife came to Beijing this time for the sake of wealth, but they were released from prison in the spring of last year. They didn't come early and didn't come late. They had to add a blockage to the prince before the prince's wedding, and there must be internal affair. Now they are in the country. It’s inconvenient for the prince to interrogate him personally. He also hopes that the prince will conduct a thorough investigation to prevent the four girls from being criticized."

"The prince can rest assured, the Weichen will give the prince an answer within three days." Guo Boyan promised again.

Zhao Heng nodded.

Father Fu sent Guo Boyan out.

Guo Boyan went back to the Guogong Mansion all the way, but he did not go in immediately, but stood behind the shadow wall with his hand held down, and meditated at the Songhe Tu on the shadow wall. From last year to this year, a total of three things happened to the daughter, each of which has affected her reputation. The first two have the eldest son. In the third one, did the son intervene?

If it is really what the son did, what did he do? The first is that both daughters and nieces have become common folks to talk about capital, although it is not important, but there are some ugly words. Second, her daughter’s appearance was ruined and she was able to be married. It was completely unexpected. Although her niece Tan Xiangyu had no evidence, she was already known for her cousin's reputation for using despicable methods. It would be difficult to marry a good person at that time. He only felt that his niece was jealous of his daughter. Now think about it, where did the mother and daughter of the Tan family have such courage to offend her?

Song Kuo and his wife's entry into Beijing will not affect his career. There are really people behind the scenes. Arranging this method is definitely not aimed at him. If the king of life does not like his daughter, and the emperor is dissatisfied with his daughter, the final result will only be that the daughter's position as the princess will fail. If the two marriages fail, the daughter will be the same as Tan Xiangyu, and the marriage will be difficult...

Guo Boyan frowned, the person behind the scenes was aimed at his daughter? Do not seek wealth or life, as long as the daughter is ruined?

My daughter is ruined, what good is it for the eldest son?

Do you still mind if his father married his wife? In this case, the eldest son should be dissatisfied with his wife’s family of three, but his wife occupies the seat of the Tan family. Brother Mao may affect his son’s position as the first son. He can understand the eldest son’s shots with this wife. Only the daughter is married. The Guo family is just giving a dowry, the eldest son is not so stingy, right?

Are you afraid that your daughter will marry too well, and your husband will become Mao's help? But Lu Zhen is just a brave man. If he can't be a high-ranking official, the eldest son cannot understand.

Thinking back to the eldest son's careful care of Brother Mao, Guo Boyan does not believe that the eldest son still hates the stepmother's family.

In other words, only the daughter was targeted by the eldest son.

My daughter is charming, cute, well-behaved, and sensible. Where did she provoke her eldest son again, and she is so disgusted that she resorted to such methods?

Guo Boyan couldn't figure it out.

After standing in place for a cup of tea, Guo Boyan bypassed the shadow wall and arrived at the front yard of Linyun Hall. He saw the eldest son sitting in the hall with the four-year-old Maoer sitting on his lap. His half-brothers followed him in appearance, and they looked like two brothers.

"Father!" Seeing that his father was back, Brother Mao turned his head and smiled happily.

Guo Xiao stood up holding his younger brother and went out to greet him. Brother Mao stretched out his two small arms early and asked his father to hug him.

Guo Boyan took the youngest son, and while walking inside, he took the initiative to explain to the eldest son: "The prince asked me how I planned to deal with those two people, but we did not pursue our fault."

Guo Xiao smiled lightly: "The prince is broad-minded and admirable."

Guo Boyan took a seat, holding his son's chubby hand and said: "Yes, it is her good fortune that An An can marry the prince."

Guo Xiao nodded in agreement, and went to serve tea with one hand. Guo Boyan observed his son secretly, and could not see any flaws.

It was getting late, and Guo Xiao spoke to his father for a while, ready to leave. Guo Boyan looked outside and smiled and said: "Just eat here. Today is not dangerous. Let the kitchen cook a few more dishes. Let's The family celebrates."

Guo Xiao has no reason to refuse.

Guo Boyan put down Brother Mao, patted the boy's shoulder and said, "Go and call your mother and the others to come over and say that Daddy has something good to announce."

Brother Mao tilted his head back, and curiosity filled his **** eyes: "What's a good thing?"

Guo Boyan laughed and urged his son to run errands first.

Brother Mao turned around and ran away, most like helping Dad do things. Guo Xiao guessed that his father wanted to talk about the marriage between his stepsister and the king of life, so he didn't ask much.

Soon, Lin brought a pair of children over, holding Brother Mao in his hand, Song Jianing followed by a Bi Luo skirt, turned to the door and caught a glimpse of Guo Xiao's figure, Song Jianing immediately retracted his gaze without even looking at him. Look at Guo Xiao. Guo Xiao didn't look at her either, only Brother Mao was in his eyes.

Guo Boyan’s usual attention was on his sweet wife and young son. The eldest son was cold and calm, and his daughter was well-behaved and quiet. It was normal for him to talk less. However, when he suspected that the brothers and sisters had grievances, Guo Boyan keenly caught the weirdness between the siblings, especially his daughter. Obviously, I am afraid of my brother.

Guo Boyan knew in his heart that everything was as usual at the dinner table. After dinner, he smiled and said to the Lin clan, "I have an errand to confess Ping Zhang, you go to rest first."

Lin's errand was only related to Song Kuo and his wife, so he didn't take it seriously and took his children away.

Guo Xiao's expression changed slightly.

Guo Boyan led his son to the study, and the commander followed Wei Jin to guard in the yard, not allowing anyone to approach him.

After entering the study, Guo Boyan sat and looked at the eldest son who was standing on one side. He casually said, "How do I feel that An An seems to be afraid of you?"

Guo Xiao looked at his father with a dim light reflecting in his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly.

But the eldest son’s silence caused Guo Boyan’s heart to sink. He pursed his lips, took out the two secret letters that had been hidden in his arms, put them on the table, and said coldly: "Look for yourself."

Guo Xiao stepped forward two steps without picking up the letter paper. He only pressed the letter with his thumb and spread his index finger. After reading it, he took two steps back and remained silent. He really did both of these two things, because there was a long time between them, and he thought no one knew about it, but he didn't expect to hide it from his father, but he was found out by King Shou.

But he didn’t regret it. He only blamed himself for underestimating King Shou’s coveting his stepsister. Unexpectedly, the appearance of the sister was ruined and her reputation was so bad that King Shou could persuade the emperor to marry him. Keep her as the princess.

He didn’t want to quibble. He didn’t leave anything behind about Anguo Temple and Song Kuo’s husband. Even King Shou didn’t have any evidence to track him down. The only thing about his cousin was that he would know everything if he caught the cousin for the first trial. . Guo Xiao had already considered the consequences, but using his cousin was the only way he could think of at the time, and he almost succeeded.

"Song Kuo husband and wife, did you instigate to enter Beijing?" Guo Boyan got up, staring at his son with an iron expression on his face.

Guo Xiao raised his eyes, looked directly at his father and said, "Yes."

With a "pop", the man slapped his son's face with a palm, and the harsh sound penetrated the darkness to the courtyard. Wei Jin trembled and looked towards the study in disbelief. He has been serving by the grandpa for more than 30 years, watching the son grow up with his own eyes, making stubborn mistakes when he was young, the grandpa has beaten the palm of his hand to face the wall, but he has not beaten his face.

In the study, Guo Xiao slowly turned his head, his right cheek was burning like a fire, and something warm came down from the corner of his mouth. Guo Xiao wiped it, and put it down without even looking.

Guo Boyan's eyes were red. He hoped that the eldest son would kneel down and admit his mistake, and that the eldest son would ask him to forgive him once, but the eldest son was calmer than every time he made a mistake. Why was he calm, because he didn't feel that he was wrong!

"Where is An's sorry, why are you hurting her?" With hot palms, Guo Boyan was breathing heavily and couldn't figure it out!

Guo Xiao lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Guo Boyan smiled furiously, pointing to his son and said: "Okay, your bones are hard, I will ask Ann!"

After speaking, he passed his son and walked quickly toward the door.

"She didn't apologize to me."

Just when Guo Boyan's hand had touched the curtain of the door, Guo Xiao's indifferent voice finally came from behind him, and Guo Boyan had a stature and looked back at his eldest son. Since the brothers and sisters have no grievances, why the eldest son...

"Father, my son has never begged you since he was young. Tonight, my son begged his father to be my master."

Guo Xiao lifted his clothes and knelt down with his back to Guo Boyan, his back straight, like a wolf that would not give in to any hunter: "Father, I want peace, I will do everything I can do, and the emperor will be the master for King Shou. With her, my son has no choice but to ask my father to be the second master for me, and don’t let An An marry someone else."
