The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 445 Extra 2: Six years later (4)

When the group of people arrived at the entrance of the palace in a mighty manner, all the princes, nobles, civil and military officials from Da Qi had been waiting there for a long time.

Chiang Rai was surprised to see a familiar figure in the crowd—Gu Nanjin, the eldest son of the late Emperor Gu Lang.

Seven years ago, Gu Nanjin, in his capacity as the crown prince of Da Qi, entertained Wuhajialou and a group of envoys from the Hao Kingdom. Seven years later, the identities of both parties have undergone earth-shaking changes, which makes people feel that things are different and people are different.

Wuhejialou naturally recognized Gu Nanjin and his eyes moved slightly.

"We haven't seen him for seven years. Emperor Hao is even more elegant than before." Gu Nanjin took the initiative to greet Wuhe Jialou first, and his gestures were neither humble nor overbearing, elegant and decent.

"Prince Yu is so complimentary." Wuhejialou returned the greeting equally politely.

Next, everyone gathered around Gu Jue and Wuhejialou into the palace, and went to the Jinluan Hall to attend the reception banquet held for Wuhejialou today.

Qinglai looked at Gu Nanjin without leaving a trace. From the few words he said, he learned that Gu Nanjin had served in the Ministry of Rites in recent years and was responsible for the Host and Guest Department, one of the four departments of the Ministry of Rites, and was responsible for the foreign affairs of Daqi.

This position is not a false title, it holds real power.

Gu Nanjin is the prince of the late Emperor Gu Lang, so his current status is naturally embarrassing. Before today, Qinglai thought that Gu Jue would just imprison him and raise him well, so that the world would know that the Emperor of Qi is tolerant of others. Although Gu Jue actually entrusted Gu Nanjin with a heavy responsibility, his magnanimity and magnanimity were indeed extraordinary!

It's no wonder that their master Wu Hejialou chose to cooperate with Gu Jue, which shows that he can judge people accurately!

Qingrai quickly withdrew his gaze and followed Uhagalou as if nothing had happened.

Today, Gu Jue personally held the ceremony for Wuhejialou. The protagonists were naturally the two of them. The eyes and conversations of everyone present basically revolved around the two of them, until Gu Yuan, the young prince of Daqi, appeared.

Among the adults in the room, the five-year-old prince stood out and attracted everyone's attention.

Under the gazes of hundreds of people, the young Gu Yuan was still generous. He first bowed to Gu Jue and then offered a cup of tea to Wuhe Jialou in a serious manner. His words and behavior were both perfect. It was so appropriate that the officials present at Daqi were very proud, and all of them straightened their backs.

The heirs of the Tian family are related to the future of a country. The emperor of Daqi has a son and a daughter. The prince is already five years old and extremely smart, but Emperor Hao has not even returned to secular life and does not even have a queen!

At this moment, the thoughts of all the ministers of Daqi were almost synchronized, and they felt that they had won in the matter of the prince! !

The atmosphere of the entire reception banquet was extremely harmonious, and both the host and the guest were happy.

After the reception banquet, Gu Nanjin sent the Wuhejialou group to stay at the Huitong Hall.

The Huitong Pavilion was built on the order of Gu Jue after he ascended the throne. It was a building for foreign envoys and guests. It replaced the original Siyi Pavilion and doubled in size. It was only two streets away from the imperial palace.

As for Gu Jue and his son, after leaving Jinluan Palace, they returned to Qianqing Palace together.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the baby's "gurgling" laughter and the sound of milk coming from the room.

The father and son walked quickly into the palace.

The two-month-old baby was lying on her little bed, with a white black cat squatting next to her. The black cat's long tail was swinging around, and the baby's round eyes followed the cat's tail. Sliding around, laughing, and waving his fleshy little hands to grab the cat's tail...

"Is Yueying playing with Jiaojiao?" Gu Yuan trotted to the bedside, describing him as lively as a child, completely different from the little adult he looked like at the Fengfeng Banquet just now.

Shen Qianchen, who was sitting next to him reading, put down the book in his hand, smiled, and sighed to himself: His son really hit the nail on the head.

Seeing Gu Yuan coming, the black cat immediately jumped down from the cot and landed quietly. It turned back to look at Gu Yuan, then jumped briskly onto the window sill, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Jiaojiao blinked, then blinked again, and realized that the cat's tail was gone, and cried "Wow".

Shen Qianchen reacted very quickly, picking up the rattle on the side and stuffing it into little Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan often played with his sister on weekdays. After getting the rattle, his first reaction was to subconsciously turn the drum handle. The two projectiles on both sides hit the drum surface, making a "dong-dong" sound.

Xiao Jiaojiao stopped crying immediately and stared brightly at the projectile that rotated with the string. Her eyes began to move around flexibly again, overjoyed.

Amber and other palace maids retreated silently, feeling complicated.

Before the stick of incense, the queen was originally using a rattle to make the eldest princess happy. Later, she got tired and stopped. As a result, the eldest princess began to cry non-stop and refused to let anyone else take over the queen's place. The cat happened to come and transferred her. captured the princess's attention.

Now the prince takes over and takes the cat's place.

Amber couldn't help feeling that the eldest princess's temper was much worse than that of the prince when he was a child!

Until Amber and others exited the palace, they could still hear waves of rattles coming from behind.

"Dong dong..."

Gu Yuan helped coax Xiao Jiaojiao, while Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue sat aside, watching the siblings play and talking.

Gu Jue said with a smile: "I plan to recruit young people from the Imperial College and Juzi to study in Hao Kingdom. Wuhejialou also has this plan. In two days, we will sign an agreement on this."

Whether it is for Da Qi or Hao, peace is better than constant disputes between the two countries.

That's why Gu Jue decided to form an alliance with Wuhe Jialou.

They both knew that no country could last forever. At least during their lifetimes, Da Qi and Hao could coexist peacefully and strive to bring their countries to a higher level.

Shen Qianchen also thought this was a good idea and said with a smile: "Then the capital will be very lively next." This matter was personally promoted by the emperors of the two countries, and Shen Qianchen believed that many young people would be interested in it. , after all, students who can be selected to study in Hao Kingdom are equivalent to leaving their name here with Gu Jue, and they will always have a future in the future.

Shen Qianchen suddenly had a thought in his mind and asked, "Jiuxia, can only men go?"

The implication is, can women go?

Gu Jue had always had a close connection with her, and knew that Shen Qianchen was thinking of the female students in Huixinyuan.

"Let me think about it." Gu Jue muttered.

It is not that simple to let female students go to study in Hao Kingdom. In Daqi, women's reputation is more important than heaven, which means that most of the female students' families may not agree.

Gu Jue has never felt that women are inferior to men. His Yunni is very good. He also has many female secret guards who are as good as men in martial arts, and women are more careful. In some aspects, women can learn better than men, and they can also contribute to the country. Make a contribution.

Shen Qianchen smiled and said no more. She was just offering advice.

While the couple was talking, Gu Yuan never stopped playing the rattle in his hand.

"Dong dong..."

After persisting for another cup of tea, Gu Yuan felt a little tired and stopped. Then, the projectiles connected by thin lines on both sides of the rattle also stopped.

The drumming stopped.

Xiao Jiaojiao, who was about to fall asleep with her eyes squinted, suddenly opened her eyes as if she was awakened, flattened her mouth, and started howling.

Gu Jue took the rattle from Gu Yuan, let him take over, and continued to swing the rattle.

"Dong dong..."

The black cat didn't know when it came back, licking its paws and casting sympathetic eyes at the father and son.

The cat thought this Twoleg cub was too difficult to coax!

"Miwu! Miwu!"

Outside the window, a small black and white cat squatted beside the flowers below, looking up and meowing at the **** cat on the window sill.

The little milk cat is half a month younger than Xiao Jiaojiao, only one and a half months old, but it can already run and jump, but the threshold is too high for it.

The little milk cat is very cute, half black and half white, with a black back, black ears, and a black tail, and a snow-white muzzle and belly. Compared to the somewhat fierce-looking big cat Yueying, the little guy looks soft and harmless, like a star. The soft, round sesame glutinous rice **** are very sweet.

Shen Qianchen put his elbow on the window sill and looked at the little cat outside the window. Then he raised his other hand and touched the big cat's head. The big cat squinted its eyes comfortably and rubbed its head against it. He rubbed Shen Qianchen's palm.

"Yueying, do you still remember your savior?" She asked it with a smile.

Yueying let out a "meow", not sure if she knew what Shen Qianchen was asking.

Shen Qianchen asked again: "Can you let your little baby follow him?"

"Meow!" Yueying called again.

So, on the day of Xiao Jiaojiao's double full moon banquet four days later, Wuhejialou accepted a gift before he gave away the gift he had prepared for Xiao Jiaojiao.

Yueying personally brought the black and white kitten to him.

"Meow meow meow!"

Yueying rubbed her face affectionately against the snow-white monk's robe of Uhagalou. Although so many years had passed, she still remembered the gentle hands of the person who picked it up from the street.

"..." Wuhejialou looked at Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen in astonishment.

Shen Qianchen said with a smile: "This is Yueying's kitten."

Yueying was the cat of Gu Jue and her, so naturally no one would want the kittens she gave birth to. Queen Mother Yin, Shen Yunmu, Gu Zhiyan, etc. all raised Yueying's children.

Now Shen Qianchen only has this little milk cat left by his side. Wuhejialou came to Daqi at this time. Shen Qianchen thought that maybe it was destined to Wuhejialou, so he came up with this idea temporarily.

What she didn't expect was that Yueying actually went together with her. Maybe this was the fate between Yueying and Uhagalou. Without her in the previous life, Yueying should have been by Uhagalou's side.

Wuhejialou leaned over and picked up the little milk cat that was held in Yueying's mouth. The little milk cat meowed softly and looked at its future owner curiously, its green eyes widening.

Wuhejialou touched the kitten's chin with one hand and said with a smile: "I still remember Daqi's rules about hiring cats."
