At the turn of summer and autumn, the sky in Yunnan is clear and clear.

The bright sunlight shines in the Han Palace, and the colors of various things are extraordinarily bright. The carrying hall on the seven-foot pedestal is the largest building in the entire Yunnan Prefecture; The cyan glazed tiles of the vaulted roof glow in the sun, and the temple of Phnom Penh and the white marble reflect each other, and the lacquer paintings are embellished with distinct colors.

Wang Gui, a burly eunuch, stood on the pedestal of the carrying hall. He was waiting for the second envoy of the Jiaozhi rebels below, watching them come up step by step.

People on both sides salute each other. Wang Gui took two steps forward and handed over the lacquered document in his hand: "Please send the messenger back to Jiaozhi Province and hand it to the leader Chen Jikuo." ”

Chen Xianzhen took the paperwork, looked at the lacquer seal on it, and asked, "Can my father-in-law tell me how the Han Wangfu replied to my Yue Guojun?" ”

Wang Gui changed the direction of the dust in his hand, raised his head and said: "Chen Ji expanded his troops to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and proclaimed himself king; Our prince is the Prince of Daming, and he will not approve of such rebellion. But in Chen Ji's expansion envoy to inform him, he was very courteous, as long as he made up for his merits, he sent grain and taxes to the Han Palace; In the future, the king of Han can pardon Chen Jikuo and the following rebel generals for their conspiracy and rebellion, and still make them officials of Jiaozhi Province. ”

The dark-skinned deputy envoy Ruan Jingyi suddenly showed anger on his face, his tone was not good, and he said in Chinese with a strange accent: "The Han Palace's mansion didn't agree to anything, but asked for money and food?" You guys are so arrogant! It's too much! The Han Palace's Mansion is now difficult to protect itself......"

Chen Xianzhen hurriedly reached out and pressed Ruan Jingyi's sleeve to stop his angry words.

Wang Gui glanced at Ruan Jingyi, but he didn't scold back, but said in a cold tone: "Our family is only responsible for serving the prince, what is the use of General Ruan saying such things to our family?" You take the reply document of the Han Wangfu back and hand it in! ”

Wang Gui said, pondered for a moment and said: "You should think about the benefits, our prince's words are well-intentioned, and he is very tolerant of the rebels. ”

Chen Xianzhen hugged his fists and said: "I heard that there are many immortals in Yunnan, I don't know if Poor Dao can stay in Yunnan and practice Taoism; Only let Deputy Envoy Ruan take the paperwork and return to Vietnam first? ”

Eunuch Wang Gui shook his head and refused directly: "That's not a mile!" Although Chen Jikuo is the leader of the rebels, you are the envoys, and you have to let the Ming officers and soldiers escort you back. The fairy girl was interested in the Taoist temple in Yunnan, so she went back first, and then came as a Taoist priest, and the Yunnan officials would not be embarrassed. ”

Wang Gui turned to the official standing next to him and said, "Please Huang Yinli, who is responsible for arranging the sending of guests." ”

The big man in the cyan round-necked robe clenched his fists and said respectfully, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Although Wang Gui was a slave, he was a close eunuch around the King of Han. Even high-ranking officials in the Changshi Mansion are generally very polite to him.

After Wang Gui finished this matter, he ignored the two people in Jiaozhi Province, and hurriedly left the side of the carrier hall and walked briskly to the north.

He passed through the circular building hall and came to the back of the heart hall. When I entered the temple gate, I saw many people standing inside, and it was a little noisy, some people were saluting, and some were crying in public.

These people in the palace are the family members who have just arrived at the Han Palace. Sheng Yong'an and the two generals are also there.

Princess Guo Wei of Han couldn't take care of her demeanor at this time, hugged her mother Guo Xu, and cried very sadly, "woo woo woo ......", shaving her shoulders and twitching, and people felt pity. Zhu Gaoxu stood on the top and looked at the excited appearance of the people here. At this time, he also saw Wang Gui, so he nodded lightly to this side.

Wang Gui hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and whispered: "Lord Wang, the slave maid was instructed to deliver the document written by Mr. Li of the Changshi Mansion to the messenger of Jiaozhi. The black-looking deputy envoy Ruan looked very angry and spoke rudely. The maid Taoist priest was better, and she wanted to stay, so the slave told her to go back first according to the prince's wishes. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I know. ”

Wang Gui cupped his fists and bowed, and then glanced at the messy scene here, obviously there was no need to greet others, so he said, "The slave and maid are retired." ”

…… Since Guo Wei heard the news that her mother's family had been convicted, she has also lost weight and her spirit is very depressed. Zhu Gaoxu saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't comfort him before, but now Guo Wei is finally better.

The descendants of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, have twelve sons alone; Guo Wei has many uncles and uncles, but her closest relatives are her parents, brothers and sisters. Now it is impossible to save her father Guo Ming and sister Guo Yan, and it is not easy for Zhu Gaoxu to take others over.

Guo Wei's face was full of tears, but she should be very relieved at this time.

The mother and daughter cried bitterly for a while, and Guo Wei finally turned around. Her beautiful little face was full of tears, pitiful, her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration, and she suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Concubine thank the prince for his great kindness!" ”

Guo Xu pressed her two teenage sons and thanked Zhu Gaoxu. Sheng Yong's family members also stepped forward one after another and said some good things one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to support Guo Wei and said, "You and me, you and I, don't be polite. As long as it can be done, I'm happy to do it. He looked back and said, "Everyone get up, the friendship between this king and Sheng Yong is like a family." You have been separated from General Sheng and General Ping for several years, so you don't have to stick to the customs, you can go home and reminisce about the past. ”

Sheng Yong said: "The prince treats me like this, and the last general will be loyal to him, and he will not give up!" ”

Ping'an glanced at Sheng Yong, stepped forward to salute, and only said: "The life of the last general has long been sold to the prince!" The two of them hugged their fists and said goodbye, and then went out from the temple gate with their respective families.

Guo Wei looked up at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "The concubine never dreamed that she would be able to see her mother and younger brother in Yunnan. ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and did not speak.

He has no feelings for his mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law, and he is still a little dissatisfied with Guo Ming's practice of separating his two daughters and betting on the treasure, so he can't experience Guo Wei's touching mood of reuniting his relatives. But Zhu Gaoxu was really happy in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu was worried about the war for days, but he didn't expect that because of a reunion that he didn't care about so much, his mood would also improve.

He knew in his heart that the matter of his girlfriend in his previous life had a great impact on him; If he hadn't felt a strong sense of powerlessness and humiliation, racking his brains to get rich, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to gamble. Now in the face of Guo Wei's admiration, even if he only has eyes, Zhu Gaoxu feels that he seems to have let go of his previous obsessions. But if he hadn't had those experiences, he wouldn't have thought about why he was held by his mother-in-law's family.

Although Guo Xu is an elder, her posture is very deferential, and she said gratefully: "King Han has great kindness to the Guo family!" If it weren't for the rescue of King Han, our mother and son would be uncertain about life and death. ”

"My grandmother is outside, a family, and she doesn't talk to two families. I also believe that my father-in-law was wronged, and I will find out the truth in the future and return the Guo family to innocence. Zhu Gaoxu said, "My grandmother and others came from Sichuan, and they just arrived in Yunnan today, and the carriage and horses are tired, so I can't say much, so please ask the princess to tell the eunuchs first to settle you down." Take a break and talk about it. ”

"Thank you, King Han." Guo Xu said, raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu carefully. There seemed to be some surprise and disbelief in her eyes...... Zhu Gaochu knew that his reputation was not very good, and Guo Xu had not dealt with Zhu Gaochu much before.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "The two brothers of the Guo family, you can go to the army for training after a while." ”

Guo Cong and Guo Xuan's two brothers-in-law listened to it, and they looked eager to try and very willing. They are only in their teens, and they don't know how to be afraid of some things, of course, they are not the same as Guo Ming's careful calculations.

Guo Wei and the others said goodbye and personally took her mother and younger brother to choose a house to settle down. Zhu Gaoxu's mother-in-law and others, of course, should live outside the carrier gate, which is a gatehouse separating the outer hall from the harem.

In the evening of the same day, Zhu Gaoxu thought that Guo Wei had not seen her mother for several years and would be with her mother. Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaochu had just put away the things in the study, and when he walked out of the door, he saw the eunuch Yellow Dog, who came out with Guo Wei's words and asked Zhu Gaochu to go back to the palace to rest.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that the chariot was ready, and it was on the brick floor next to him. The sun during the day made the ground hot, and the residual heat did not disappear, so Zhu Gaoxu got into the car and took the car back to the front palace inside the carrier gate.

Guo Wei had already retreated and was alone in the dormitory. She wore a silk skirt that was soft and sheer in summer, very light, faintly pink, and somewhat transparent. Her figure was already slender, wearing a light-colored dress, looking as if she was as light as a wild goose, very soft and elegant.

Her face was red, and she came up to make a blessing, and said softly: "The concubine's mother's family didn't help the prince, but she got a lot of rewards, and she always caused chaos to the prince." Will the prince blame the concubine? ”

Zhu Gaoxu laughed a few times after hearing this, shook his head and did not answer.

Guo Wei pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "What does the prince mean?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "How can I be willing to blame you? ”

Guo Wei buried her head when she heard this, although she has been married for several years, she is shy. When Zhu Gaoxu saw this, he knew that he didn't need to talk to her about anything. There are indeed many differences in the minds of men and women. He added, "Your mother is here today, and Wei'er doesn't have to force it to please me. ”

Guo Wei rarely took the initiative to go up and hold Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and muttered, "The concubine wants the prince to accompany me tonight." The prince treats me well, and I miss you very much, and I often find it difficult to control myself, and I always think about the things you have done to me......"

Zhu Gaoxu's heart was hot when he heard this, he reached out to her beautiful white chin, and lifted her face up to admire. Guo Wei turned her head lightly and whispered: "The concubine is waiting for the prince to untie his clothes." ”

The night had already quietly fallen, a cool breeze blew in the window, a red candle flickered on the yellow copper lampstand, and the antique hall flickered brightly and darkly. On the big bed, the gold-rimmed silk curtain embroidered with cockroaches also swayed gently in the breeze.
