Who is Gu Huaiqing if she's not dressed in white and has picturesque eyebrows?

"Your Majesty, Mr. Marquis!" The fat lady saw the two come in, busy to welcome up to salute, this etiquette is obviously just learned, do it awkwardly.

"Sister-in-law Hao, goodbye." Mu Hanzhang smiled and greeted.

Jing Shao, however, stared blankly with Gu Huaiqing, certain that this was the King of Huainan himself, asking with his eyes why he had appeared here.

Gu Huaiqing, however, looked as if he didn't understand, rising and saluting the two, "Greetings, Your Majesty and Marquis."

"This Brother Gu is the one I met on the road," the fat lady introduced attentively, "my mule horse went lame halfway, fortunately met Brother Gu kindly drove me. Brother Gu is also an official, and he came to the capital to work without a place to stay, so I made the decision to let him stay here."

"My humble servant, Gu Qing, is the magistrate of Huaiyang County in Jiangnan, and has come to the capital to report on his duties, fortunately General Hao did not abandon me, and allowed me to borrow a room for two days." Gu Huaiqing gratefully glanced at the fat lady, speaking modestly and courteously, clearly organized, if not for this handsome face rarely seen in the world, Jing Shao really thought he had recognized the wrong person.

Mu Huan Zhang pursed lips to hold back laughter, the so-called Huaiyang County is the former dynasty, now has been renamed Danyang City, and Danyang City is the main city of the fiefdom of Huainan, how come the county magistrate said?

Seeing that the king did not blame the presence of a living person, the fat lady warmly invited them to be seated, and turned around to go to the back kitchen herself with the intention of frying two more dishes.

Hao Dagger's house is not a few subordinates, and now on the stage are being supported to work, the fat lady left, the house is left with three people staring at each other.

"Why are you here?" Jing Shao lowered his voice.

"Just a coincidence on the road." Gu Huaiqing said innocently.

Jing Shao felt the veins on his forehead, the vassal king is not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned, once seen is not a small matter. What time is it, there is still mood to joke!

Mu Hanzhang held Jing Shao's fist that was about to resist calling up, patted it soothingly, and said softly, "Big brother came to the capital but there is something important?"

The question was unavoidable, Gu Huaiqing smiled, put down the tea, pretended to be melancholy, "There is a beautiful person Ruoxi see not forget, a day does not see Ruoxi think like crazy."

"What do you mean?" Jing Shao frowned, this person is this problem, the more anxious you are, the more he does not speak properly, the cloudy straight to say that people are on fire.

Mu Hanzhang, however, glanced at Gu Huaiqing in surprise, "Big brother is joking, right?"

Gu Huaiqing immediately put away his face full of despondency, the corner of his mouth hooked up with an immodest smile, "Junqing is doubting my sincerity?" Saying that, he was going to pull the hand that he had placed on Jing Shao's hand, and was unsurprisingly ushered in by Jing Shao's fist.

"Big brother, a friend's wife is not to be deceived." Before Jing Shao uttered those words, his fist had already called out to the upturned tail of that eye.

Gu Huaiqing had anticipated this move, nimbly reaching out to clasp that fist, smoothly shoving a small object into Jing Shao's hand, backhanding Jing Shao's arm to yank him over, and whispering in his ear, "Help me return this."

Jing Shao held the small thing in his hand and nodded slightly, and when Gu Huaiqing let go of his hand, he suddenly turned his right arm and struck an elbow into his chest.

Gu Huaiqing was not on guard and was hit so hard that he almost leaned over from his chair, covering his chest and coughing for a long time, "Cough cough ...... beating up an imperial official, what a behavior!"

"Don't talk like my brother!" Jing Shao winced at the sound of "what a scandal" and angrily punched him again.

When Hao Dazhou came in with the wine jar, he saw the three of them sitting quietly, and there was not much conversation, except that Gu Huaiqing was slowly rubbing his chest with one hand over it.

"What's wrong with Brother Gu?" Hao Da Dao still had a good feeling about Gu Huai Qing who kindly sent his daughter-in-law to the capital.

"I've had a heart disease since I was a child, it won't get in the way." Gu Huaiqing smiled weakly, looking like a sickly scholar for a few moments.

"Then we have to find a doctor to take a look." Hao Da Dao frowned at his words and was about to go out to find a doctor.

"No, no, no," Gu Huaiqing was busy pulling General Hao, who was enthusiastic and upright, "I was too happy to see His Highness and His Highness, and I was a bit overwhelmed with emotion for a moment."

Jing Shao's forehead jumped as he listened, wanting to swing his fist to punch him again.

The meals were all homely dishes, most of them were fried by the fat lady herself, naturally far from the craftsmanship of the king's cooks, but this kind of simple dishes, these three were not often eaten, tasted fresh and interesting, even Mu Hanyang couldn't help but to use more than half a bowl of rice.

"Madam's handiwork is so good, General Hao is truly blessed." Mu Hanzhang smiled as he held the after-dinner tea.

"You're still so good at talking," the fat lady laughed so hard her eyes narrowed into slits, "He doesn't feel blessed to think I don't cook well every day."

Hao Da Dao was a little uncomfortable when he heard his own wife start counting herself again and turned to Jing Shao, "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, my humble servant obtained something that I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at."

Jing Shao glanced at him, "Good." Then he got up, told his own princess to stay here for a while, and went out of the hall with Hao Da Dao one after the other.

Traveling to the corner of the corridor, Jing Shao stopped and looked at the flowers and plants in the garden: "What do you want to say?" The general's mansion is newly built, the flowers and plants are not luxuriant, Hao Dazhou does not understand those precious plants and trees, planted a few elm trees in the courtyard, now has already sprouted, the short little tree is full of tender green leaves.

"That Mr. Gu said that he knew His Majesty, but he couldn't make a statement about his visit to the capital. It's not good to talk about it today outside the gate of the royal residence, the last general has not reported it, I hope your majesty will forgive me." Hao Da Dao said in a low voice, this was something that Gu Huai Qing had told him alone, not even his wife knew about it.

"He is right," Jing Shao turned his head to Hao Dazhou, "Let him stay here with you first, say he is a relative of the lady's family, and I will let him go in a couple of days." Gu Huaiqing has always been cautious, in Jiangnan, Jing Shao's subordinates have never seen him, including Hao Dazhou. I don't know how that guy coaxed Hao Dazhe to believe in him.

"He also brought two guards with him, and because he wanted to see the king, the last general didn't let them come to the front yard." Hao Dabao again reported all of Gu Huaiqing's words and actions aside.

Jing Shao nodded and patted him on the shoulder and praised him, Hao Da Dao has always done things much more reliably than Zhao Meng, letting Gu Huai Qing live here should not cause anything to happen.

On the way back to the Royal Mansion, Jing Shao took out the thing Gu Huaiqing had shoved into his hand to read.

"What is this?" Mu Hanzhang picked up the object in his palm and looked at it, it was a jade buckle, made of green jade, superbly carved, cool to the touch, tied with a red silk tapestry.

"He stuffed it over when he fought with him just now, and said that he asked me to return it for him." Jing Shao felt puzzled, and he didn't say who he was returning it to.

Mu Han Zhang heard, face some strange, leaning in Jing Shao's arms, lifting the jade buckle reflecting the daylight to look carefully: "This kind of jade buckle grade is very high, the super quality of the royal son of a public official can wear."

"That should be brother's." Jing Shao held the reins in one hand and slowly wrapped one hand around the waist of the person in his arms.

"But ......" Mu Hanzhang felt as if he had discovered some secret.

"What's wrong?" Being enjoying the feeling of the warm body with fresh scent in his arms using him as a backrest, Jing Shao secretly grinned and casually answered.

Mu Hanyang frowned, sideways look at him: "This shape should be embedded in the belt ...... "Embedded in the belt on the jade buckle, why for fall into the hands of others?

Afterward, the curious two turned their horses around and went directly to the Rui Wang Mansion.

Jing Chen has not rested nap, in the courtyard cool, holding a book in the hand in reading. Hearing the two came, did not enter the house, let people add two stools.

"Why did you run over at this moment?" Jing Chen frowned, it started to get hot in May, running over here in the middle of the day must be something urgent.

"Gu Huaiqing has come to the capital." Jing Shao lowered his voice.

Jing Chen sat up straight, "What is he doing here?" Now that the situation is tight, isn't coming to the capital at this time specifically handing over a handle to the court?

"I don't know," Jing Shao scratched his head, the man in nine out of ten sentences are false, said a noon also did not ask a reason, "just say let this help him return, this object is brother's?"

When Jing Chen saw the green jade buckle that Jing Shao handed over, his face immediately darkened a few points, rubbing the corner of his distended forehead, "You tell him to hurry up and leave, there are many people in the capital, so it's not guaranteed that anyone will recognize him."

As she was talking, Princess Rui walked over with tea in her hand, "The weather is hot, I've cooked herbal tea, you guys try it."

"Many thanks sister-in-law." Mu Hanzhang took it with a smile, but Jing Shao had nothing good to say, and was carried a bit by his own princess before taking it.

Princess Rui's face still didn't look too good, but it looked a little better than when Jing Chen wasn't in the capital.

"Is sister-in-law's body better?" Mu Hanzhang asked as she took a sip of tea.

"Thanks to Marquis's blessing, I've gotten a lot better lately." Xiao politely said.

"Sister-in-law this words can discount hanzhang." Mu Hanzhang mouth corners of the smile faded a little, lowered his head and sipped a mouthful of tea, would have liked to praise two sentences in the tea boiled good, now this kind of answer is unable to say.

Jing Chen glanced at her, "Don't come out if you're not well, go back inside and rest."

Before Consort Rui opened her mouth, the subordinate in the front yard hurriedly came in to report back, saying that the boy from the Cheng Wang Mansion had something urgent to report.

The one who came was Yun Song, running with a sweaty head, hurriedly saluted and said, "The people from the Marquis of Bei Wei House came to say that the side lady has moved the fetus."

Mu Hanzhang stood up violently, "What's going on?"

"The specifics aren't clear, only that the Imperial Doctor has been called in." Yun Song knew that this was important and searched all the way from the general's residence to the Rui Wang residence.

"Junqing, take it easy." Jing Shao held his hand and looked back at his brother.

"You guys go quickly, I'll make another eunuch go over." Jing Chen also stood up and rushed them to go quickly without waiting for Jing Shao to speak.

Looking at the two men's hurriedly departing figures, Jing Chen called his men, "You go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to go there."

The men led the order and went away, Xiao looked at Jing Chen's face and said, "I heard that the Marquis of Bei Wei's side wife is already seven months pregnant, so she should not be in the way."

Jing Chen nodded and glanced at her, "In these days when I'm not in the mansion, has Jing Shao been here?"

"Came once, only said a few words and left." Xiao said lightly.

Jing Chen frowned at her words and gave her a thoughtful look, "What do you have against your brother-in-law?"

"What does Your Highness mean by this? How could a concubine be dissatisfied with her brother-in-law." Princess Rui asked in disbelief.

Jing Chen looked at her with a deep gaze for a long time, "If you don't want to give Xiao Si to Jing Shao, why do you have to give them a hard time?"

Xiao's words, immediately aggrieved, the youngest son is her difficult to birth down, suffered a great deal of crime, mother and son almost can not live, so how can she be willing to pass on to someone else? After Jing Chen mentioned this, every time she saw Cheng Wang husband and wife, she could not put on a good face: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to, Xiao Si's body is so bad, to the two men how can they take care of the whole? Besides, Father let King Cheng marry a male consort, it was originally for the sake of ......"

"Shut up!" Jing Chen immediately born a rebuke, not allowing her to finish the rest of her sentence.

This side of the Rui Wangfu was not peaceful, and the Beiwei Marquis' residence was even more of a mess.

Jing Shao took his own princess and let Xiao Hei rush all the way into the second door of the Marquis' residence, scaring the subordinates guarding the door.

Ran all the way to Qiu's small courtyard, the Imperial Doctor inside the diagnosis and treatment, but Mrs. North Marquis of Wei stood outside the door, the face is not very good, behind a few maids trembling, the atmosphere does not dare to come out. Only two of Qiu's maids are busy with hot water and towels.

Seeing this, Mu Hanzhang felt that something was wrong, and after greeting Du, he hurried into the inner room.

The inner room Jing Shao could not enter at will, but he did not leave and took a seat in the upper seat of the main room.

Seeing that King Cheng had actually entered the inner house, and still looked as if he did not intend to leave, Mrs. Bei Wei Hou's face became even more unsightly, but she could only let people wait carefully, and sat herself stiffly at the lower head, neither leaving nor not leaving.
