The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

In the spring of March, Gu Nannan's birthday ceremony finally arrived while everyone was eagerly waiting.

On this day, King Chen's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and guests were full of guests, which was full of joy.

There was an endless stream of people who came to give gifts, but Prince Chen’s mansion did not accept all gifts. Only gifts from relatives and friends could enter the door, and gifts from other mansions were all pushed by the concierge.

In the main hall, guests and friends were full, and there was a lot of chatter and laughter.

The people who came to attend the Zhou Banquet today were all my own people, Mrs. Qin Tai, Qin Zening, Yun Jiaoniang and his wife, Qin Zeyu, the Wei family, and Gu Hanjun, etc. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very casual.

Gu Zezhi was in charge of entertaining the male guests, and Mrs. Xiao entertained the female guests. She looked even happier than Gu Zezhi, her face was radiant, and she was several years younger.

After a while, Qin Di came with the girl doll.

Qin Di's complexion is very good, and her figure has returned to her prenatal slenderness. With a smile and a radiant face, she can see that she is living a good life.

Everyone's eyes fell on the white, fat and pink doll in her arms. She was wearing a silk jacket carved with real red peony flowers and a golden jade longevity lock. She was rich and lovable.

At first glance, the little girl looked like a beautiful embryo. Her dark phoenix eyes were carved out of the same mold as her father's. The eyelashes were long, dense and warped. General little people.

"My family is so beautiful!"

Qin Zening praised sincerely, staring at the little girl with burning eyes.

Qin Zeyu nodded hurriedly, thinking in his heart: They all say that my nephew is like my uncle, and the ancients honestly did not deceive me, and the little girl really looks like herself!

Everyone in the hall gathered around Gu Nannan, boasting and boasting, saying all the nice words over and over again.

For the little girl, the people present were all acquaintances, so she was not afraid, and kept smiling, revealing a pair of dimples on her cheeks.

Yun Jiao Niang liked it more and more, and felt annoyed in her heart: Why couldn't she give birth to such a white and soft baby girl!

Atmosphere and fun.

Gu Zezhi walked over, took the marshmallow-like daughter from Qin Di's arms, and hugged him in his strong arms.

The couple exchanged a tacit glance.

His brows were warm, and she smiled.

A familiar intimacy naturally lingers between the two of them, without too many words.

Looking at this pair of beautiful couples, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Qin Tai exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes narrowed with laughter.

At this moment, the two old people thought of going together.

This is probably a thousand miles of marriage.

"Daddy!"

Gu Nannan called out affectionately, "Hey," and kissed her father's cheek affectionately, with a sweet smile, innocent and innocent, and made the elders in this room tremble.

Especially Mrs. Xiao, she can't wait to dig her heart out to the little girl.

Gu Zezhi said with a smile: "It's almost time, it's time to catch Zhou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a mess of footsteps outside the house, and a steward came panting and said, "My lord, my princess, the imperial decree is here."

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew that this imperial decree must be for the protagonist of today's anniversary banquet.

Mrs. Xiao was left to entertain guests in the main hall. Gu Zezhi and Qin Di carried the little girl and went to the front to receive the edict. The eunuch who came to pass the edict was their old acquaintance, Zhou Xin, the great eunuch beside the emperor.

After the family of three knelt down, Zhou Xin smiled and began to declare the decree.

This imperial decree is indeed for Gu Nannan. She has not yet acquired a good name, and as the eldest daughter of Prince Chen, she has received her first official order in her life.

The emperor made her the master of Zhaohua County.

The word "Zhaohua" can be said to be the best blessing to the empress!

After the imperial decree was issued, Zhou Xin left.

The newly promoted Zhaohua County Lord was carried back to the main hall by her father, and began today's Zhou Li.

In the center of the hall, there is a large red sandalwood carved case, on which is placed all kinds of gadgets.

Ancient books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, gold and silver jewelry, flowers, rouge, shovel spoon, flower shape, scissors, abacus, jade sword, general's helmet, wine orders... There is a whole large case, which can be described as dazzling.

Mrs. Qin couldn't help frowning slightly.

The great-granddaughter is a girl. What kind of sword, general's helmet, and wine order are on the desk? What's the matter?

!

However, she looked around at everyone, Qin Zening, Yun Jiaoniang, Mrs. Xiao, Qin Zeyu, etc. didn't seem to think that there was any problem, and they were already discussing what Xiao Zhaohua would arrest with great interest.

Gu Zezhi carefully placed the little girl in the center of the big case. Qin Di bowed his head and said to her, "Nan, choose the one you like."

Xiao Zhaohua didn't know if she understood it. Sitting on the desk, she blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes at her mother ignorantly, and called out in a milky voice, "Mother."

She habitually stretched out her arms to her mother and asked her to hug.

Qin Di pointed to the objects on the case, and repeated it to the little girl: "Nan, pick the one you like."

Xiao Zhaohua raised her arms stubbornly, and called out to Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma!"

The little girl's black and white eyes were so beautiful that Mrs. Xiao almost wanted to hug her.

At this time, Gu Zezhi made a gesture to a woman beside him. The woman quickly came with a long-haired lion cat and put it on the other side of the big case.

The lion cat squatted on the table obediently, and suddenly attracted Xiao Zhaohua's attention, and Xiao Zhaohua softly called to the lion cat, "Meow!"

The lion cat let out a lazily "meow" and tilted its head to look at Xiao Zhaohua as a response.

This time, the little girl stopped arguing for someone to hug her, and sat on the table obediently, staring at the cat.

Looking at this scene, Qin Zeyu was at a loss for words, and thought to himself: His brother-in-law was not afraid that his niece did not catch other objects, but caught this raccoon slave instead?

! ...but it's okay, isn't it a raccoon slave?

! It's okay for him as an uncle to give her a garden dedicated to raising raccoon slaves!

Seeing that Xiao Zhaohua had not moved, Gu Hanjun showed a loving smile, trying to attract the attention of the little girl: "NanNang!"

She tried to hook the little girl to the ancient book she prepared.

Gu Hanjun has already performed filial piety. Today, she came to attend Xiao Zhaohua's Catch-up Ceremony. She also dressed more brightly than usual. Her green lotus-colored dress made her look very good, which was completely different from when she first arrived in the capital. two people.

Originally, after she gave her filial piety, the emperor wanted to marry her, but she herself had no plans to marry, but she set up a women's school with great interest, and even took Qin Di to do it together.

Xiao Zhaohua is Qin Di's follower. Naturally, she often sees her aunt Han Jun, and her attention is suddenly attracted.

Xiao Zhaohua called happily, "Sister!"

But she still didn't move.

Qin Zeyu hurriedly pointed to the small jade sword that he had prepared, "Nannan, look at my uncle, do you think the gift that my uncle has prepared for you is beautiful?"

It must be what he prepared most in line with his little niece!

Others are not far behind, you persuade the little girl one word at a time:

"Nan, the woman is the one who pleases herself, look how beautiful this bead flower is!"

"Nan, don't take an embroidery needle, embroidery hurts your eyes!"

"Look at that chessboard..."

"..."

Everyone was so lively talking and talking, but the girl did not move, just obediently recognized a circle of kisses.

Seeing this, Qin Di's eyes twitched and he had a headache.

This little ancestor of my own is really a living ancestor. He looks cute, but he is really too lazy. He can sit but not stand; he can lie down but not sit...

Qin Di couldn't help but gave Gu Zezhi an angry look.

It was him who spoiled this girl!

Gu Zezhi: "..."

Just when Qin Di was thinking about whether to tempt her daughter to choose the same one nearby, she saw the lion cat on the other end licking its paws and "meow" at the little girl, saying goodbye, and then jumping off the case briskly. .

One of its hind feet just kicked over a general's helmet.

"Gululu..."

So, the general's helmet rolled over to the little girl by himself, and rolled into her hands.

The little girl grabbed the general's helmet in her hand.

Mrs. Qin Tai: "..."

There was silence around.

This girl is really lazy! Qin Di couldn't help but burst out laughing, and leaned on Gu Zezhi's shoulder, his brows curled, "Aiya, we will be female generals in the future!"

Qin Di laughed so much that the villain in his heart was rolling: If Gu Nannan can really be a female general, she must be the laziest female general.

The purpose of arresting Zhou is to predict the future of the child, but everyone knows that this is just a good wish, and no one will take the result of arresting Zhou seriously.

Everyone smiled and blessed the couple and went to the banquet hall to enjoy the feast.

The banquet didn't end until halfway through. Qin Di and Gu Zezhi went to see off the guests in person, and the guests and hosts were all delighted.

After seeing off the last guest, the concierge said with a complicated expression: "My lord, Duan Wang is here!"

After the New Year last year, King Duan surrendered to the emperor, surrendered his military power, and the emperor agreed. After that, Duan Wangfu and his family moved back to the capital. Now the western border is guarded by Yu Fuyun.

Qin Di instructed Du Ruo, "Go and carry Zhaohua."

The child is at the age of lethargy. After the arrest, the little girl went to bed.

After a while, Du Ruo brought Xiao Zhaohua over, and the family of three went out through the corner door. Duan Wang was standing diagonally across the street, staring blankly.

Of course, King Duan also wanted to attend his granddaughter's arresting banquet, but he did not dare to enter the mansion.

He was afraid that after he entered, Mrs. Xiao would leave, which was the case at the last full moon banquet, so he stood outside and waited for the end of Zhou Yan.

Gu Zezhi came to Duan Wang with Xiao Zhaohua in his arms, and called out lightly, "Father."

Following him, he lowered his head and said to the little girl, "My grandfather."

"grandfather."

The little girl obediently learned to speak, and her voice was vague. In fact, she didn't even know what her grandfather meant.

She didn't know Duan Wang either, so she blinked curiously at the strange old man in front of her.

Duan Wang took out the gold collar inlaid with ruby ​​that he had prepared a long time ago, and carefully put it on Xiao Zhaohua, his voice was slightly difficult: "This is the birthday gift I prepared for her."

Duan Wang's slightly cloudy eyes were slightly moist, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything.

Now, what can he say?

!

Now Gu Zezhi is already a prince. Because of his great achievements in the battle of King Yu, he was promoted to Prince Chen by the emperor's decree.

This also means that it is absolutely impossible for him to inherit the Duan throne again.

Duan Wang was indescribably lost in his heart, and after giving the gift, he left.

Gu Zezhi carried his daughter and returned to the palace with Qin Di.

When their voices disappeared at the corner door, Duan Wang couldn't help pulling the horse rope, and turned around to look at the gate of Chen Wang's mansion.

Over the past year, he really regretted it.

However, regret is useless.

There is no regret medicine in this world, and time will not turn back...

After the couple entered the door, they walked slowly towards the main courtyard.

Xiao Zhaohua still stayed in her father's arms. With her father around, she naturally didn't need to have long legs. She found a comfortable position and narrowed her eyes again.

Gu Zezhi gently patted his daughter's back, with a soothing rhythm, again and again.

Qin Di and Gu Zezhi chatted without a word, and unknowingly said to Gu Jing: "...Is Gu Jing really crazy?"

Speaking of Gu Jing, Qin Di's expression was a little complicated.

Gu Zezhi came back very late last night. He originally said he would come back early, so Qin Di asked casually if he had any new errands.

As a result, Gu Zezhi said—

"Gu Jing is crazy."

Compared to Qin Xin, Gu Jing was fortunate. Qin Xin, as one of the full members of Prince Yu's Mansion, had been beheaded as early as the previous year in Dongyue.

And Gu Jing was still alive.

Even if there is no freedom, he is still alive.

He has been under house arrest in the Second Prince's Mansion for two full years. In the past two years, he has been peaceful and living like a walking corpse.

Until yesterday, he suddenly went crazy, hysterically said that he wanted to see the emperor and Gu Zezhi, and then went on a rampage, trying to rush out of the Second Prince's Mansion, but was stopped by the guards guarding the gate.

Naturally, the emperor would not go to see him, so Gu Zezhi went there himself.

After not seeing each other for two years, Gu Jing was like two different people.

His hair was messy, and he was described as haggard and mad. When he saw Gu Ze, his eyes burst into madness and hatred.

"Gu Zezhi, I am the emperor!"

"Gu Zezhi, you are disrespectful, you proclaimed yourself the regent, you control the government, and you intend to usurp the throne! The people of the world will not be deceived by you!"

"You scoundrel thief will sooner or later be exterminated and return to orthodoxy!"

"..."

Gu Jing said something to himself, crazy.

Gu Zezhi was annoyed, so he was knocked unconscious, saying that if he made trouble again, he would continue to be knocked unconscious; if he wanted to die or live, let him die himself.

Thinking of the scenes from last night, Gu Zezhi casually twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't put Gu Jing at ease, and said casually, "Maybe."

He held Qin Di's hand with one hand, and the two of them held their palms close to each other, rubbing each other occasionally.

Xiao Zhaohua had already fallen asleep on her father's shoulder, the corners of her lips curved, and she slept very peacefully.

Above them, the green branches swayed gently, as if singing a spring song.

Qin Di looked at his handsome profile, the sunlight cast a golden halo on his face and body, his facial features were so soft, and the corners of his lips had a smile, and he looked like a woman who could do everything.

Although in this life, Gu Zezhi is no longer the regent who dominates the government and the opposition, but this is also very good.

In this life, she is also fine.

She held his hand instead, and on the ground, the shadows of the three were firmly glued together.

They will always be fine.

Holding the hand of the son, grow old together with the son.
