Back to Xiangfu, a group of palace men blocked the door.
The crowd rushed into the mansion holding various rewards and flowing water. Seeing Yufu back, the headed father-in-law came up to the court flatteringly.
"The minion greets the princess Zhenjiang, where will the princess go for a holiday in the snow?"
Grandpa Chi was a former member of the Second Prince's Mansion, and the Second Prince ascended the throne, and he became the new chief of Ouchi.
As for the original Ouchi chief Gao Gonggong, because he testified in the hall that the first emperor had said that he would set up the second prince as the prince, he also received preferential treatment and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver to return home.
Yufu still liked the original father-in-law Gao. Both father-in-laws were very kind to Yufu, but father-in-law Gao was not like the flattering in front of him, and it made people feel numb.
It's useless if she doesn't like it anymore, Yufu still understands the principle of the emperor and the courtier.
"It turns out that it is Grandpa Chi, is it here to give a New Year gift for your majesty? I didn't go anywhere, so I just went out and wandered around at will."
Yufu raised his spirits to deal with him, Chi Gonggong smiled and said: "The princess guessed wrong. The slave is not here to give your majesty an annual gift, but to send your majesty to the princess. Your majesty said that the princess is born with beauty and is worthy of the whole world. The best jewellery, so send all the good jewellery to the eldest princess from the surrounding islands and Xiaoguo Nian!"
Yufu looked into the hands of the palace people, everyone in their hands was all jewelry, piled up in a pile, afraid that it would make a hill.
She smiled reluctantly: "Your Majesty ordered someone to give me gifts every three or five hours. After all, I am not His Majesty's own sister. How dare I be? Your Majesty should care more about Princess Danyang, who is his only direct sister."
Grandpa Chi suddenly laughed, and Yufu had a headache with his sharp and thin voice.
He covered his mouth with a kerchief, "What did the eldest princess say about kissing her sister and not kissing her sister? You are the princess who was proclaimed by the emperor. Who dares to say if you are not kissing?" If you were dear, your Majesty would not be so spoiled!
Grandpa Chi quietly looked at Yufu, only to see that she was dressed in plain clothes, wearing a white fox cloak, and she was more immortal and elegant. He couldn't complain that your Majesty couldn't leave her for a moment.
"In fact, your Majesty also cares about Princess Danyang. It’s just that Princess Danyang doesn’t like to enter the palace, so she won’t see a servant when she gives a reward. Your Majesty slowly fades her mind, as long as she rewards Prime Minister Yin. The reward of the princess will go to Xiangfu to give a New Year gift!"
Yufu murmured in his heart, Ning Chengzhi never doubted whether Princess Danyang did not like to enter the palace or Yin Shuo refused to let her enter the palace.
He actually pampered Yin Shuo to such a field.
"New Year's gift?"
Yufu was slightly surprised, "Yes, it's the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month today. Your Majesty has always given New Year gifts to his respected ministers very early. This is a rule left from the time of the first emperor. Every year in the past, the Guhou Mansion has always been The first one to get the New Year gift."
She unconsciously glanced at the plaque on the gate of the mansion. No matter how glamorous the lintel of Guhou Mansion was, it was a former courtier like Father Gao, and it had been covered with a haze.
His Majesty now attaches great importance to Xiangfu, not Guhoufu.
Grandpa Chi seemed to be aware of Yufu's mood, looked around and lowered his voice, "His Royal Highness, don't be sad, this year's Guhou Mansion's New Year gift is a bit late, but the long princess's reward has never been cut off! The Guhou Mansion is the Guhou Mansion, and the eldest princess, you are the eldest princess. It is irrelevant and does not affect your majesty's favor!"
Irrelevant.
How could it be irrelevant
Yufu smiled faintly, "Please go back and thank your majesty for me, and Yufu will thank your majesty personally when the New Year's Eve family banquet."
Grandpa Chi reminded: "Your Majesty the princess, forgive the slaves to say something too much. Our Majesty has been on the throne for two months, and has not been registered as the Queen of the Central Palace. The courtiers have turned a deaf ear to your majesty. You should know best what your Majesty is waiting for..."
He raised his eyes to the beautiful girl, whose skin was clear and clear in the snow.
Such a beauty can't blame your Majesty for always remembering, and even the queen will be left to her.
Yufu was stunned, and the prince Yin Shuo wanted to marry her, but he was still hesitating in his mind. At this moment, Grandpa Chi hinted at her again.
She is not stupid, she understands what Grandpa Chi means, but she doesn't think about it at all.
"Grandpa Chi, it's snowing outside, I'm really tired, go back and rest first, please."
Grandpa Chi wanted to say something more, Yufu had already lifted the skirt and walked quickly towards the mansion, he had to sigh slightly, and the palace man near him vaguely heard what he said about the beauty of the country.
At this moment, the West Chamber thought it was full of things that your majesty rewarded. Yufu resisted a little, and walked to the upper room under his feet.
Gu Huaijiang, Gu Shubai, and Gu Wenqing were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea. Yu helped enter the door and untied his cloak. "It's rare for the general to not go out today. Even the big brother has such a leisure time."
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "Father has explained part of the military affairs to your majesty. Now I am all relaxed. This year, our family can finally live a good life together."
Gu Wenqing also laughed, "Yes, if my father is not allowed to rest even during the Chinese New Year as in previous years. Now that part of the military affairs has been dealt with, half of the people in our mansion were in Changzhou last year. This year, we can finally have a reunion year."
They spoke lightly, but Yufu could hear bitterness from the words.
Gu Huaijiang has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and has never chosen to dismiss his job because of tiredness. There is only one possibility for him to do this—
That is, to deal with the suspicions of those in power.
This was the case when Emperor Xian was present, and so was Ning Chengzhi when he was in power. The difference is that Emperor Xian did not allow Gu Huaijiang to resign even if he was suspicious, but Ning Chengzhi agreed very happily.
Thinking back about what Grandpa Chi said, Yufu became more upset, and reluctantly smiled: "Yes, that's okay, this year we will finally be able to reunite as a family."
Gu Huaijiang said, "I heard someone say that you went to the Grand Prince's Mansion?"
The plaque of the Grand Prince's Mansion was taken off two months ago. The so-called Grand Prince's Mansion is now just a mansion for insurgents. Everyone in the mansion can be deceived.
The honor of the prince has also been abolished, and no one in the court dared to mention these three words anymore, and only private discussions would occasionally appear.
Yufu nodded, "It's better to send him as I am than to let my elder brothers go. One is for the love of the past, and the other is for Yin Shuo's business."
She raised her head to look at the crowd in a difficult tone, "Yin Shuo learned about the first emperor's poisoning by the eldest prince, and threatened the prince to attack the first emperor. Yin Shuo is the instigator, and our guess is correct."
Gu Shubai said: "People are about to die and their words are good. The eldest prince has no reason to deceive us. Yin Shuo's man is really sinister. He is now favored by His Majesty, I am afraid that we Guhou Mansion..."
Gu Huaijiang sighed and said, "Yin Shuo has long been targeting the Guhou Mansion. He has now emptied the power of the cabinet, which is larger than that of the prime minister in the first emperor period. As a civilian, he intervened in military affairs to carry out military reforms. Referencing Guhou Mansion, in the final analysis, it is the power given to him by your Majesty. This is the reason why I took the initiative to retire some of my duties. We can resist Yin Shuo, but not our Majesty."
As the saying goes, the emperor wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. He is not so loyal to that point, but because the emperor intends to weaken his power, he will definitely cooperate fully.
Power has never been what he wants. It is worthwhile to take it out for your majesty's peace of mind.
Gu Wenqing said: "Father, blindly giving in is not the way. Do we know that Yin Shuo is the one who murdered the first emperor, but we want to let him go unpunished and still call the wind and rain in the court?"
Gu Shubai glanced at him and motioned him to stop discussing this topic.
If there was a way to reveal the true face of Yin Shuo, they would have done it a long time ago, but they tried to collect evidence of Yin Shuo's involvement in the past two months, but there was no clue.
He moved too fast, aiming at them to deploy everything when they fought against Xikun at the border, and wiped out all the evidence that was not good for him before they rushed back to the imperial capital.
All the sins were on the eldest prince, and Yin Shuo washed himself clean.
He broke the subject, "Yufu, what was the noise outside just now, is it a reward from the palace?"
"Um."
Yu Fu nodded lightly, looking absent-minded.
Yaolan stood by the door and waited, suddenly stretched her head, "Miss, why didn't you finish? The prince said something important before he left, why didn't you tell Lord Hou them?"
Before Yufu could stop him, Gu Shubai said, "What matters?"
Yaolan ignored Yufu's wink, "Miss, don't want to stop me, this matter is too important, you must tell everyone! The prince said that the condition for Prime Minister Yin to cooperate with him is to marry a young lady!"
