Qin Min hurriedly returned the gift, but she didn't know if it was because of the prince's status, she couldn't treat him as a child when facing this child who was less than five years old.
I don't know if it's because of too many people, or because Rui'er has grown up, and when she was young, she liked to be close and intimate with Gu Beiyue, but now, she is not clingy anymore.
He said, "Teacher, Father and Empress know that you are coming back, so they will host a banquet in the palace to welcome you at night."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress on behalf of my minister." Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Rui'er hesitated for a moment, then turned her eyes to the little shadow beside her, and asked, "Teacher, can you borrow... that doll?"
that doll
He's clearly smaller than Little Shadow, okay
What does he want to do
Qin Min became nervous again, the little shadow seemed to hear the prince talking about him, and he flew down with a confused look on his face.
"What does Your Highness want the shadow to do?" Gu Beiyue asked.
"Practice with me, he runs, I chase; I run, he chases!" Rui'er said seriously.
Qin Min's hanging heart finally fell, and at the same time, he also noticed that the prince seemed to be polite to Gu Beiyue, but he was actually very close, otherwise it would not be such a discussing tone.
Gu Beiyue seemed to be respectful to the prince, but she was actually very close. He must have treated the prince as both the young master and the child. He didn't order Shadow forcefully, but asked gently, "Shadow, do you want to practice with His Highness?" Shadow grinned, "Yes."
"Your Highness, the shadow lightness skill is good, but the martial arts is not good..."
Before Gu Beiyue could finish speaking, Rui'er interrupted, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him!"
Little Shadow smiled to himself, very happy. Seeing the prince turned and left, he quickly pulled his father down, and whispered in his ear, "Daddy, don't worry. I just let His Highness the Prince, I can run away." Faster. If you want to protect His Highness in the future, you must first make His Highness unable to catch up."
Gu Beiyue was a little surprised, but still rubbed his little head, and said softly, "Go."
After the two children walked away, Qin Min said, "Teacher Gu, Shadow asked me a few days ago what it meant to be protected by the Shadow Clan. I thought you had already told him."
Everyone knows that the protection of the Shadow Clan is to protect the master with their lives.
She always thought that Gu Beiyue would tell Xiaoying everything before starting to teach Xiaoying Qinggong personally, and would ask Xiaoying to take over the heavy responsibility from him.
However, Gu Beiyue has not said so far.
He should have said it earlier, why hasn't he said it yet
Will he also have the heart
Qin Min said lightly, "I told Little Shadow that the Shadow Clan's mission is to protect the royal family... right?"
"Yes." Gu Beiyue nodded without further explanation. Qin Min didn't talk about it any more.
Gu Beiyue originally wanted to go to the palace to report to the emperor, but now that he knew there was a dinner party tonight, he stayed at the mansion.
Qin Min ordered her servants to cook medicinal soup for Gu Beiyue to take a medicinal bath. She brought peony, and after walking around the house, she wrote a list, listing the seeds of several kinds of flowers and plants, and asked Paeonia to buy them back. . It was a pity that such a large yard was abandoned. Of course, she had to make good use of it.
It was night, the little shadow was brought to the palace by Ruier in advance, and Gu Beiyue and Qin Min entered the palace alone.
On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, family feasts to admire the moon, drinking and composing poems, the courtyards of the entire imperial capital are very lively.
When Qin Min got out of the carriage, when he looked up, he could see the bright moon in the sky, bright and clear, the moonlight was so bright that it was enough to illuminate all the night roads in the world.
However, it is precisely because of its brightness that it conceals the light of the stars, which is also destined to be lonely.
"Teacher Gu, have you noticed that you can't see the stars on August 15th?" Qin Min murmured unconsciously. She still doesn't know that Gu Beiyue's birthday is August 15th, and she doesn't even know that Gu Beiyue's real name is Guyue.
Gu Beiyue looked up, didn't comment much, just said lightly, "Let's go, don't make the emperor and empress wait too long."
Qin Min followed him into the deep palace, but said on the way, "However, fortunately, the full moon is only fifteen or sixteen days old. The moon always has its waning, and the stars can also be beautiful."
Gu Beiyue just said "hmm", lowered her head, and walked quickly with the maid leading the way.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the pavilion of the Imperial Study Room. When Gu Beiyue and Qin Min arrived, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi were waiting, but the Crown Prince, Xiao Ruier, and Young Master Yan were not there.
As for the couple, they didn't know what to talk about. Han Yunxi laughed while chatting, and Long Feiye also smiled.
As soon as Gu Beiyue and Qin Min arrived, when Gu Beiyue was about to pack his luggage, Han Yunxi stopped him first, "Gu Beiyue, this meal is a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. If you are so polite, leave Qin Min behind and go out by yourself." Go to the palace. Qin Min, sit down."
Without Gu Beiyue's permission, Qin Min would not dare to be rude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress." Gu Beiyue still made a bow. I don't know if I can't change this habit, or if I don't want to change it. Qin Min followed suit to thank him.
Han Yunxi rolled her eyes at Gu Beiyue, Long Feiye just glanced at him, then turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Is the princess awake?"
"Having not woken up yet, Mother Zhao is guarding. I have already told her that the princess will be hugged as soon as she wakes up." The maid replied in a low voice.
"It's windy outside, tell Madam Zhao to put more clothes on for the princess so she doesn't catch a cold." Long Feiye said seriously.
"Yes."
The maid was about to leave, but Long Feiye said again, "Princess likes to eat porridge at this point, is it ready?"
"It's ready, it's fish porridge." The maid replied.
Long Feiye asked a few more trivial matters before letting the maid go.
Although Long Feiye spoke in a low voice, and the maid answered in a low voice, everyone present still heard it.
Qin Min was very surprised. Although he knew that the master liked his daughter, he never expected that he would love her so much. He took care of every detail by himself.
Qin Min subconsciously looked at Han Yunxi, only to see Han Yunxi drooping her head, feeling extremely disappointed.
Gu Beiyue was not surprised by this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is the princess all right?"
What happened to Rui'er when she was a child, Long Feiye has been paying attention to the little princess, and discussed it with Gu Beiyue several times.
The little princess is about two years old now, except for the miraculous phenomenon of a hundred birds coming to the pilgrimage when she was born, everything is normal.
The story of Bai Niaolai came to Han Chen's ears, and Han Chen was also very surprised. He only guessed that it might have something to do with Feng Zhili, but it was just a guess. After all, Han Chen didn't fully understand Feng Zhili.
They didn't find any power in the little princess, so they were more biased. When Han Yunxi was giving birth, he lost control of the phoenix power in his body, and all the phoenix power was exposed, which attracted all the birds. You know, after giving birth to Rui'er, Han Yunxi has not been idle, she has been practicing. When she was pregnant with the little princess, the power of the phoenix in her body was basically fully stimulated and controlled.
Of course, Long Feiye's love for the little princess was not because of the weather of birds coming to court. Even if the little princess is ordinary, he still treats her like a treasure in his hand. God knows how long he has been looking forward to his daughter.
The person who is usually serious, when he talked about his daughter, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied, "It's all good."
Gu Beiyue and Long Feiye chatted and chatted about business matters. However, Han Yunxi pulled Qin Min to chat, and asked Gu Beiyue in a low voice if he was taking care of himself.
After this conversation, Qin Min realized that Gu Beiyue left the emperor because of Han Yunxi.
"Well, it's doing well. It's been looking a lot better recently." Qin Min replied in a low voice. Maybe if she kept asking, she would know that Gu Beiyue had actually gone to Ningzhou long ago, but unfortunately, she didn't ask much.
The herbs were collected one after another, Han Yunxi called Xu Donglin and said, "Go and get Rui'er and Little Shadow. After running for a day, it's time to eat!"
Before Rui'er and Little Shadow came, the little princess arrived first.
I saw walking cautiously, holding a doll in his arms, wrapped tightly in a big purple fox-fur robe, and covered with a hood.
Not to mention seeing the face clearly, it is impossible to see clearly whether the doll is a boy or a girl.
Han Yunxi lowered her head, not even bothering to look. Both Gu Beiyue and Qin Min were curious. They were very surprised when they saw it. It's just the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's not like this
Zhao Nanny put the little man into the emperor's arms, then smiled and left.
Long Feiye hugged his daughter and said with a smile, "Yan'er, Taifu and Madam Qin are here, take a look."
The little man didn't move or make a sound.
Long Feiye smiled, and scratched the little man's armpit, but the little man still remained silent.
This time Long Feiye was startled.
Long Feiye dropped the big fox fur hood, and saw the little princess's eyes closed, as if she had lost consciousness.
"Swallow!"
Long Feiye was startled and panicked for a moment.
Gu Beiyue and Qin Min got up almost at the same time and rushed over, but Qin Min quickly stepped aside.
Gu Beiyue hurriedly felt the pulse for the little princess, but when she felt the pulse, Gu Beiyue frowned.
"What's going on?" Long Feiye was so anxious that his face turned pale, and he didn't notice that Han Yunxi was sitting by the side, eating soup very leisurely.
"The pulse is normal, how could this be?"
Gu Beiyue couldn't tell why for a while, he felt the pulse of the little princess and pondered it carefully.
Who knows, the little princess suddenly opened her mouth and asked seriously, "Doctor Gu, just look at my pulse. Am I suffocated to death?"
The little princess learned to speak early, and now she is two years old, her words are clear, her voice is as clear as a bell and mixed with a little childishness. This voice coupled with the earnest jokes gave people a weird feeling.
Gu Beiyue was taken aback for a moment, and after a serious look, he realized that the little princess was wearing a thick padded jacket, and he suddenly laughed out loud.
Qin Min also quickly understood what was going on, and laughed with a puff. She carefully looked at the little princess's face, and found that the little princess was really delicate like a jade doll, carved in powder and jade, beautiful and lovely. The way her eyes are closed makes people can't bear to touch her, for fear that she will be broken if touched.
It was only then that Long Feiye realized that he had been easily played by his daughter. He looked at his daughter who hadn't opened her eyes yet, amused and curious, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
Most of the time, he was really helpless with Han Yunxi. However, for this daughter, in fact, there are many times when there is nothing to do, but she is willing to become helpless.
"Doctor Gu, please do me a favor, give me some medicine, or I won't be able to wake up." The little princess said seriously again.
Gu Beiyue asked with a smile, "What kind of medicine does Her Royal Highness need?"
"I need a potion to convince my father, don't keep me wrapped in a bun, I don't want to be a bun." The little princess said, opened her big eyes, and looked at Long Feiye pitifully, "Father, I don't want to be a bun." It's getting prickly heat again!"
