It's hard to say whether the eldest prince really doesn't know that Gu Shubai and the others are here, or if he just doesn't know.
Everyone else is standing here, in front of Gu Shubai and the others, the second prince is not easy to chase them away, so he has no choice but to invite him to sit down.
The eldest prince looked at Gu Shubai with a smile, and then looked at Gu Yi, "I heard that you two are fine, so I am relieved. Originally, I wanted to visit you when you came back. I was afraid that Guhou's mansion would be busy, so I went. Instead, it delays things.”
Gu Yi laughed heartlessly, "I'm fine at first, it's my eldest brother who was poisoned. But now my eldest brother is healed, and he can come out with us to enjoy the lantern!"
He still has the nerve to say
If it wasn't for him and Gu Xiang, two and a half children, who wanted to take Yufu out of the mansion to play, why would Gu Shubai bother to follow him
A lot of things in the mansion are still waiting for him to deal with.
The eldest prince turned to Yufu again and said, "I heard that Yufu followed Jiuge to find you this time. At such a young age, Uncle Gu must be reluctant to let you go out, right? But I think it's a good trip, The little girl has practiced for a while, and her momentum has become much calmer."
Even the eldest prince could tell that some kind of change was quietly taking place in Yufu.
Yu Fu laughed and said, "Aren't you becoming more and more like a general? I heard the elders in the Fuzhong talking about me that day, saying that I look like the general's own."
Gu Xiangdao: "What's more, eldest prince, you don't know how majestic Yufu was that day! Father let her enter the ancestral hall, but the elders of our family refused, saying how could a woman enter the ancestral hall?"
"What? Uncle Gu let Yufu enter the ancestral hall?"
Princess Danyang was the first to ask, as a princess, she can't even enter the royal ancestral hall. Why should she enter the ancestral hall of the Marquis Gu's mansion because she is supporting an adopted daughter
"Yes. In the end, do you guess how Yufu answered?"
Gu Yi eagerly asked: "Yu Fu said, 'Is there anything in this world that a man can do but a woman can't do?' He also cited several examples, and the clan elder's face turned green on the spot, and he was speechless. Word."
Gu Shubai glanced at him and motioned for him to accept as soon as he was good.
Although it's not a secret, it's a family affair of the Marquis Gu's mansion, so there's no need to tell outsiders too specifically.
The eldest prince was slightly stunned, and then laughed loudly, "Sure enough, it is Yufu, who said that with a lot of momentum. You have been in Guhou's residence for a long time, and you always have the air of a general, which is a good thing!"
"Brother Yizhao, do you think so too?"
The first prince and Yu Fu chatted and laughed, the atmosphere was many times better than before, and Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were also willing to join in the fun.
Gu Shubai held tea with a smile, and moved towards the second prince, and the second prince also took the tea cup.
He looked a little embarrassed, obviously he saw Gu Shubai and the others first, and specially invited them to come up and watch the lantern together.
As a result, when the First Prince came, it became his home field, and everyone in Guhou Mansion was obviously closer to him.
Gu Shubai did not show any obvious preference, it was just that he, as the eldest son, did not want to stand between the two princes on behalf of the Marquis Gu's family.
A little emotional bias does not affect the final choice.
But the second prince was still very uncomfortable.
He didn't like that Yufu called the eldest prince Yizhao brother, but he only treated him as the second prince who was polite and distant. It was obvious that he had no affection for him.
He is the current prince and the most likely candidate to become the crown prince. Who wouldn't any Dongling woman flatter him
The more Yu Fu was polite and alienated towards him, the more he wanted her to greet her with a smile, even...
"Second Prince!"
The attendants who came out of the palace with them hurried upstairs, as if they had something to report.
Seeing that the First Prince was also here, he looked slightly hesitant.
The eldest prince looked at him, "Second brother, what is the secret and important matter, the people below are very nervous. If you don't want me and Shu Bai to hear it, let's avoid it first."
After speaking, he wanted to get up and invite Gu Shubai to leave together.
The second prince gritted his teeth, "Brother, what are you talking about? How can I have any secrets to hide from you and Shubai? We are all our own people, and there is nothing to hide."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the attendant and gave him a warning look, "What happened, tell me."
Seeing this look, Gu Shubai knew that it was telling the attendants—say what you can, and wait a while if you can't.
The eldest prince's move was poisonous enough. The second prince was guarding against him, something the courtiers knew, so he took himself along. The second prince wanted to make friends with Guhou's mansion, so of course he refused to admit that he was guarding against Guhou's mansion. people.
Had to be told face to face.
The attendant didn't hesitate, "Go back to the two princes, my son, there is news from the palace that Prime Minister Yin has retired and returned to his hometown."
"What?!"
This is really big news, how could Yin Yan retire so well
He is only in his fifties, and there are many veterans in the middle age who are over sixty years old. There must be a reason for retiring at this age.
The second prince hurriedly said: "Has the father allowed it? What is the reason?"
The attendant said: "Your Majesty has already approved it. It is said that the Dali Temple found out that the assassination of Gu Hou Shizi was instigated by Prime Minister Yin. There is also the testimony of the Seventh Prince of Xikun, and it is said that Prime Minister Yin has pleaded guilty. His Majesty thinks that his status is special, so he is allowed to do so." Resign and return home!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Gu Shubai in surprise.
