A pair of big hands wiped away the tears on Gu Yuanbai's face, Xue Yuan was sweating profusely, and cautiously asked, "Why are you crying suddenly?"
Gu Yuanbai had never cried in front of people.
But at this moment, he was silently shedding tears, without making a sound, quietly, when Xue Yuan noticed it, his heart was seized in shock.
Gu Yuanbai took advantage of the situation and grabbed Xue Yuan's collar, his fingers gripping the shirt with force, the black clothes wrinkled in his hand and formed into a lump, until the sudden surge of qi dissipated, Gu Yuanbai let go of his hand, murmured, "Did I actually cry?"
Xue Yuan wiped the corner of his eyes, Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but close his eyes, the air in midsummer was hot, and when Xue Yuan touched his hand, the tears seemed to have stopped because of the scalding.
Xue Yuan took the warm towel from the palace attendant and wiped Gu Yuanbai's face, feeling so distressed that he couldn't speak, "Don't cry."
The blurred vision gradually became clear, Gu Yuanbai slowly closed his eyes, "It's okay."
He suppressed the panic that suddenly rose, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that Xue Yuan's collar had been scattered by his grasp, and the embarrassment on Gu Yuanbai's face flashed. He reached out and tidied up his shirt slightly, picked up the handkerchief, "Hand."
There were some wet marks on Xue Yuan's hand, whether it was sweat or Gu Yuanbai's tears, Gu Yuanbai lowered his head, carefully wiped his hand, and slipped between his fingers.
"Sage's hands are so small," Xue Yuan suddenly said worriedly while wiping, "It's also so thin, with such a thin wrist, the minister can circle it with two fingers."
The sadness in Gu Yuanbai's heart was shattered, "General Xue's words are funny, my fingers are long, and compared with the women's plain hands, they are more than two or three circles larger. Which eye do you think my hands are small?"
Xue Yuan suddenly became gloomy, "It turns out that the sage also knows the size of the woman's hands."
Gu Yuanbai: "I just think you are talking nonsense with your eyes open."
Xue Yuan saw that he was still in a bad mood, and thought of a way to make him happy, he scratched his fingers in the palm of Sheng Shang's hand, and half-truths darkened his face: "I don't even know how big a woman's hand is, how big it is. Small."
"Then go and see, go and touch," Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, threw Xue Yuan's hand and the towel to the palace attendant, "Get up, don't get in my way."
Xue Yuan stood up inexplicably, stepped aside and looked at Gu Yuanbai's back, Zhang Er couldn't make up his mind.
Gu Yuanbai re-read the things handed over by the Taiyuan Hospital, and at the end, the disadvantages that the Taiyuan Hospital implicitly wrote on it have also been listed one by one.
Gu Yuanbai's physical loss was too great, and even if he was well-raised, he would not be able to give birth to offspring. His weak body is inherently weak, and he missed the best time when he was young, and now he can only try his best to make up for his body, so that he can live a long life. People who can jump and run are healthy.
Not being able to conceive an offspring is undoubtedly the biggest blow to an emperor, but Gu Yuanbai accepted it well. As long as it can be better than it is now and can prolong his life, Gu Yuanbai is already thankful to Heaven and Earth.
After Gu Yuanbai nodded, the Taiyuan Hospital began to do things according to the regulations.
Five days later, on a rainy day, someone came to report in the rain, and the prince and concubine suffered abdominal pain two days ago, and gave birth to a daughter that day. Now the mother and daughter are safe and are in the palace with the prince.
Gu Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, "Girl?"
The palace servant said, "It's a girl."
Gu Yuanbai was fascinated for a while, and murmured, "The girl is also very good, very good."
With a smile, "Send someone to inform the prince and the prince, and then give the reward, let the princess say whatever she needs, I will make the decision for their mother and son, and no one can slack off."
After he finished speaking, Gu Yuanbai was pacing back and forth in the hall. He couldn't tell whether he was looking forward to giving birth to a boy or a girl with the princess.
Now that a girl is born, Gu Yuanbai needs to find some other children at the clan's mansion.
He sighed, but his heart was slightly relaxed. If Gu Zhao's child was regarded as his adopted son, he would sit on his throne in the future. After all, he would be... a little nervous.
But girls are different, even because she is a girl, the princess should be more relaxed. If she wanted to raise her own daughter, she would raise it herself. If she doesn't like this daughter, she will send it to the palace, and Gu Yuanbai will consider her as her daughter and give her the honorable status of the eldest princess of a country.
However, the princess has always been tenacious, and she must not hesitate to choose to raise her daughter alone.
If this is the case, Gu Yuanbai will compensate the mother and son as much as possible, instead of the Prince and as their backing.
Gu Yuanbai's ability to let the prince go to northern Xinjiang is already the emperor's kindness, because he was framed to such an extent. But since Prince He has chosen this path, don't want to go back to Beijing.
Even if it is to intercede with the princess, Gu Yuanbai has already stepped back, and he will never take a step back.
After the sunny weather on the holiday, Gu Yuanbai secretly went to the Prince's Mansion to visit the newly born baby.
Granny Wen took the little girl out, "Lord, look, this is the first lady of the Prince's Mansion and us."
The little baby was still asleep, with sparse hair, and the little hands were clenched into fists on either side of the ears, so small that they couldn't even stand the wind.
The princess could not see anyone now, so she sent a maid beside her to pass the word. The first question is how to deal with the prince, and the second question is whether she can raise her daughter by herself.
Gu Yuanbai asked back, "Ask your master whether he wants to see or not see Prince He, and whether he wants to raise his daughter or not."
The maid ran back to ask the princess and the princess. The princess hugged her daughter, put her little hand on her lips and kissed her gently, then turned around and said, "I don't want to see the prince, I just want to raise my daughter safely."
After the princess knew that she gave birth to a daughter, no one knew her happiness.
She knew how this child came to be. If it was a boy, it would have to be raised by the saint, but such a heavy and dirty sin, even her heart trembled, and the saint kept watching. How could her child not care about it
The more the prince and the prince wanted a son because of Gu Yuanbai, the more happy the princess was that she gave birth to a daughter.
Her daughter doesn't have to bear the distorted emotions from her father. She is clean. When the princess looked at her little girl, her heart softened, and her happiness rose. Such a peaceful and warm life, she didn't want to be broken by the prince again.
After hearing the princess' answer, Gu Yuanbai nodded and said, "I know."
After the reward was put down, Gu Yuanbai got up and took the people away from the Prince's Mansion. Along the way, the sun was shining brightly, and people came and went on the street. Xue Yuan suddenly asked, "The Holy Master likes swaddling children?"
Gu Yuanbai glanced at him, Xue Yuan pretended to ask casually, his eyes wandering around the stalls of the surrounding vendors, as if he didn't care about Gu Yuanbai's answer at all.
Gu Yuanbai imitated Xue Yuan's appearance, and evoked a false polite smile: "I like young children to the same extent as General Xue likes women's hands."
"Make it clear," Xue Yuanjun's face was stern, and when he was not smiling, there was a sinister look on his face. His face was scary, but he secretly held Gu Yuanbai's body under the cover of his sleeve robe in the crowded market. hand, "When did I say I like a woman's hand?"
"If I like it," he wanted to insert his finger between Gu Yuanbai's fingers, vaguely and frivolously, "I also like this kind of hand."
The knuckles of his knuckles are always stiff and distinct, and the feeling of soreness when inserted into Gu Yuanbai's palm will never disappear in a short time. Gu Yuanbai didn't like being held by him, it hurt. I also don't like being stuck with his tongue, soaring.
If you are not in the filial piety period, you can still taste one or two points of beauty, now? It was a good thing that Gu Yuanbai didn't kick him in public.
He frowned and was about to pull out his hand, but Xue Yuan seemed to be unaware and held it even harder.
The sleeve robe buried the movements of both hands, Xue Yuan held it firmly for a while, and then softened, "Sir, you won't let your ministers approach this month..."
He lowered his voice: "Don't even let the minister shake hands."
Xue Yuan, who had only tasted the taste of kissing and kneading, knew that he was now in the hands of national filial piety, and that Gu Yuanbai was unwilling to do something rude, and he didn't want to do it either. He just wanted to shake Gu Yuanbai's hand occasionally. To suppress the still uneasy heart.
Just to stabilize the mind.
He sighed and said sincerely: "I just hold it, it must be done properly."
However, this was heard in Gu Yuanbai's ears, no less than the power of "can't get in".
Gu Yuanbai's eyelids twitched, he ruthlessly shook off his hand, turned around and let Tian Fusheng step forward to wipe his sweat.
Under the stares of Lord Xue, Tian Fusheng happily wiped off the sweat on the Sage, with a look of joy on his face, "Sir, you seem to have grown a little longer, and the little ones are almost unable to reach you."
Gu Yuanbai smiled a little, "Really?"
"How dare I tell a lie when I'm young," Tian Fusheng really felt that the saint had grown taller and seemed to be thinner. He waved a fan to the saint, and the saint's hair fluttered in the air, and the scorching sun shone a few strands of golden light. When the light came, Tian Fusheng suddenly thought, "The little one still remembers that the Sage has a well-painted fan, the color of the landscape is vivid on the paper, that fan was brought by the Sage last year when he was in the palace, but I don't know how. Since then, the little one can't find it."
Because of the death of Concubine Wan, the birthday of the saint and the banquet in the palace will no longer be held this year. When Gu Yuanbai thought of the palace, he would think of Concubine Wan, and he was unwilling to go there.
It was now August, and Gu Yuanbai had already planned to survive this summer in the capital.
As soon as Tian Fusheng said it, Gu Yuanbai was thoughtful, "But the folding fan that Chu Qing once presented?"
Tian Fusheng nodded again and again, "Master Chu's fan is really a must-have, ten percent exhausted his mind, even now, rich people are willing to draw thousands of dollars to buy one, not to mention Lord Chu has a great reputation, a gentleman with six skills, and a superb painting skill, this is something that the entire capital knows about."
Calligraphy is worth thousands of gold, so it is said. Gu Yuanbai sighed, and couldn't help but feel a pity, "I still liked that fan very much when I gave it to me, but unfortunately, I don't know where I lost it now."
No matter what the saint is, it will be collected by the palace attendant. Nine times out of ten, this fan was lost by Gu Yuanbai himself, and there was nothing to do except regret.
Xue Yuan listened silently on the side, only smiling.

When the Holy Master was sitting in the capital, the Fujian navy who was far away on the coast was fighting fiercely with Fusang's navy on the sea.
