Today is Xiao Jingkong's five-year-old birthday, if he is indeed born on New Year's Eve.
A five-year-old child is brave enough to have such a mind.
"War will hurt." Gu Jiao said, "It will bleed and hurt."
Xiao Jingkong's expression suddenly became tense: "Then... Jiaojiao, are you injured?"
Gu Jiao was dumbfounded for a while.
I'm frightening you and making you quit, why is your focus on me
Gu Jiao's heart felt warm.
It is a feeling that I have never experienced in my previous life, but I have experienced a lot after coming here.
Gu Jiao touched his little head and shook her head with a smile in his helpless eyes: "I'm not hurt."
"Whoo~"
Xiao Jingkong let out a long sigh of relief. After he was relieved, he patted his little chest, and the young man said, "I'm not afraid of pain, nor of injury or bleeding!"
I'm afraid there is no Jiaojiao.
He lowered his head and twisted a few small fingers.
Xiao Jingkong grew up in the temple since childhood. The abbot, the abbot, and the masters and brothers treated him very well, but there are some things that cannot be made up in the temple.
The vacancies in his life were filled by Gu Jiao for him little by little.
Gu Jiao could never imagine how important she was to him.
Gu Jiao curved the corners of her lips: "Clear space is really brave."
Xiao Qingkong was so proud of himself that he raised his chin and said, "Of course, I am the bravest little man in the family!"
Gu Yan snorted.
Little shit.
Xiao Jingkong was tired and crooked at Gu Jiao's place for a while, and after being comforted, she happily went to Panshu in the backyard to practice the exercises.
Without this little speaker, the house was quiet, Gu Yan came to the bed and sat down.
Now there are three little men left in the house, and Xiao Qingkong's fighting strength alone can be worth a regiment, and the three of them together don't make any trouble with him.
The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
Gu Jiao sat on the head of the bed, looked at the little milk bag that Gu Yan was holding in her hand, and said, "This is... younger brother? How big?"
"Gu Xiaobao, call me sister!" Gu Yan lowered her head and said to Gu Xiaobao.
I don't know if he heard his name, Gu Xiaobao paused when he sucked his fingers, looked up at Gu Yan, and then at Gu Jiao in front of him.
Gu Jiao is undoubtedly unfamiliar to Gu Xiaobao.
However, Gu Xiaobao has a good temper. He doesn't cry or make trouble on weekdays. Neighbors come to hug and pinch him, and he shows face very much.
Gu Yan put Gu Xiaobao in Gu Jiao's arms, he really didn't cry, he just opened his round eyes wide and his mouth full of saliva, looking at Gu Jiao without blinking.
Gu Xiaobao is chubby, and the two lumps of flesh on his face are heavy, especially like a little Fuwa.
Gu Jiao couldn't hold back and smiled when she looked at his stupid and cute appearance.
Gu Xiaobao has been around for three months, and he actually recognizes people a bit. For example, he likes Yao Shi the most, and secondly likes nanny. After all, they have milk on them.
When there is no milk to eat, Gu Xiaobao eats his own fingers.
However, I don't know if it's because I haven't seen Gu Jiao, Gu Xiaobao was a little confused, so confused that he forgot to eat his own finger.
The next second, he put his favorite index finger, which even Gu Yan was reluctant to give, into Gu Jiao's mouth.
The three little men didn't occupy Gu Jiao for too long, because the little monk shouted very deliberately when he went to the backyard to practice: "Jiaojiao wakes up!"
So Yao Shi, Fang Momo, Yu Ya'er and Lao Jijiu all put down their work and came over.
Gu Jiao dressed neatly and went to the main room after washing up.
Mrs. Yao and Lao Jijiu sat at the table and looked at her. Mammy Fang and Yu Ya'er stayed behind Mrs. Yao. Mammy Fang kept wiping away her tears, crying even more fiercely than Mrs. Yao.
"Mommy, the eldest misses are back." Yu Ya'er whispered.
Fang Momo choked: "I know, am I not happy? I've been looking forward to it. After so many days, I finally hoped for someone to come back, right? I can finally have a good year."
When Gu Jiao was lying inside, Fang Mo was not so excited, but when she saw Yao's holding Gu Jiao's hand, her eyes blushed, and she couldn't hold back.
Yao Shi was still struggling, she held back her hot tears, touched her daughter's cheek, and said, "I've lost weight."
Her face was also frozen red, not as fair and lustrous as when she was in the capital, which shows how much she suffered from the wind and sand in the past three months.
Yao Shi was so distressed that she asked Gu Jiao about the frontier fortress. Gu Jiao only said that everything was fine, the battle was over, the city was recaptured, the border of Zhao Kingdom was defended, and the old prince and Princess Ning'an were also saved.
How many soldiers died, how much they paid, how many people were displaced, how many times she escaped death, these are not mentioned.
Yao Shi also knew her daughter's temperament to report good news but not bad news. She stopped forcing her daughter, smiled, wiped away her tears, and said, "For the Chinese New Year, don't mention this, just come back. Your grandfather and two older brothers both Are you all right?"
Gu Changqing was ordered to go north, and everyone in the capital knew that even though Gu Chengfeng slipped out, he had beaten Mr. Gu Hou, and when Mr. Gu looked back, he knew that this kid was going north to find the old Hou.
Gu Jiao nodded: "They are all fine."
All three were injured, but all recovered well.
Gu Chengfeng was the one who took the beating the most and was the first to recover.
Gu Changqing's injury is no longer a serious problem, and now the old Hou Ye still needs to be carefully recuperated. After returning to the capital, he will rehabilitate with Tang Yueshan.
Yao shi looked at Gu Xiaobao, who was being held by Gu Yan and swayed back and forth, and said to Gu Jiao in a warm voice, "When your grandfather comes back, we'll go to the mansion to see him."
"Um."
The brother who worships the handle, must visit!
Yao Shi and her daughter had endless things to say, until Gu Xiaobao was hungry, and she hugged Gu Xiaobao to breastfeed.
Lao Jijiu also asked about the situation of the frontier fortress.
He was once exiled to the frontier for five years by Zhuang Jinse, and he knew how hard the frontier was.
"Oh, it's hard for you." Lao Jijiu sighed earnestly, "You don't know how much that boy A-Heng misses you, he entered the palace every three days, and the ministers thought he couldn't wait to climb up, but in fact it was all about him. In order to inquire about the news of the frontier."
Just as Xiao Heng came out of the study, he happened to hear Lao Jijiu's words, and Gu Jiao happened to look at him, whether he was entering or retreating.
He cleared his throat and said, "I was concerned about the military situation."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
The old sacrificial wine asked about the remnants of the previous dynasty: "King Yi and his concubine are really dead?"
Gu Jiao nodded.
The concubine was killed by Gu Changqing, and King Yi died of illness.
The forces of the previous dynasty should have been completely disintegrated here.
The old sacrificial wine asked: "What's going on with Chen Guo? How did Yuan Tang escape from the capital? They even surrendered to the Gu family's army? Their strength is higher than the Gu family's army, so there is no need to surrender without a fight, right? Could it be a conspiracy?"
No wonder Lao Jijiu was so suspicious and cautious, what happened to Chen Guo was so unbelievable, and Xiao Heng didn't tell Lao Jijiu that he let Yuan Tang out of the capital.
As for the friendship between Yuan Tang and Gu Jiao, Lao Jijiu was even more unaware of it.
Surrender is the statement of Zhao Kingdom. In fact, it was a truce between the two armies at that time, and they stopped fighting.
Chen Guo's troops were 40,000 more than Gu's army, but Chen's morale was not as good as that of Gu's army. Moreover, Chen's civil strife was serious, and the war damage caused the national treasury to be depleted. They couldn't afford it.
The old sacrificial wine thought thoughtfully: "What's the matter with the Rong family? My sister is the imperial concubine, but they went to help Prince Bo?"
Gu Jiao said, "Because the monarch does not intend to make Concubine Rong his queen."
In the brocade box Yuantang gave to Gu Jiao, there was a letter explaining the reason for the Rong family's rebellion. It turned out that the monarch of Chen Guo valued the Rong family and loved Rong Guifei's mother and son. Concubine Zhang De was established as the queen, and the son of Concubine Zhang De was canonized as the crown prince.
Concubine Rong told the news to the Rong family. Concubine Rong's original intention was to hope that her father and brother could make up her mind for her, whether it was coercion or enticing, so that Jun Chen Guoguo could take her back and replace her as the queen.
Unexpectedly, Prince Bo came to the door at this time. He came to ask for marriage for his only son, and the one who asked for marriage was Rong Yao's direct daughter. As long as he became the monarch, Rong Yao's direct daughter would be the crown prince. Concubine.
In addition, he also granted the Rong family a lot of power and fiefs, much more than Chen Guoguo's.
Ke Rong's family is fed up with the days of looking down on others, instead of always supporting others to be emperors, it is better to be the emperor himself!
Concubine Rong Gui also has a young son who is less than five years old this year. It doesn't matter if Yuan Tang is dead, they support the five-year-old Ninth Prince to ascend the throne.
After that, let the Ninth Prince Chan be located in the Rong family, so that their Rong family can also rule the world.
When Prince Bo found the Rong family, he was scheming with the tiger, and finally died under Rong Yao's sword.
After this incident, the monarch became ten years old overnight, and he did not mention the matter of concubine Zhang De.
Yuan Tang didn't force the monarch to make him the prince, Yuan Tang just told the monarch with great certainty that he was going to be the prince, whether it was given to him by the monarch or he took it himself.
The monarch poisoned Prince Bo, and his life was only half left. How could he fight against Yuan Tang, who was in full swing
Unsurprisingly, the next time Yuan Tang travels to Zhao State, he will be the Prince of Chen State.
After listening to Gu Jiao's explanation, the old sacrificial wine sighed: "The Tian family has no flesh and blood, no matter which royal family is the same, but this Yuan Tang... is really impressive."
Fortunately not the enemy.
Speaking of Yuan Tang, Gu Jiao remembered what Yuan Tang asked her to bring to Liu Yisheng.
"I'll go out in a while." Gu Jiao said.
"Jiaojiao, where are you going?" Xiao Jingkong ran in sweating profusely.
Gu Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she looked at him in a panic: "Aren't you practicing? Have you been eavesdropping on us?"
"I didn't eavesdrop, your voices are so loud." Xiaojing rubbed her hands guiltily.
Well, it's a little bit of eavesdropping.
But he didn't mean it, and he didn't understand.
He was just worried that Jiaojiao would suddenly leave without saying goodbye.
When Gu Jiao came back, she naturally wanted to go to the palace to report her aunt's safety. She thought about it, and after reporting her safety to her aunt, she would go to Liu Yisheng and give Yuan Tang's gift to him.
"Jiaojiao, can I go with you?" Xiaojingkong asked cutely.
"Okay." Gu Jiao rubbed his little mushroom head.
His hair was soft and rubbed so comfortably.
Xiao Jingkong stretched out her little head: "Jiaojiao can keep rubbing it if she likes it."
It's okay to be bald.
Xiao Heng walked over with a cane and said without changing his face, "I happen to have a memorial from the Ministry of Rites to present to Your Majesty, let's enter the palace together."
The corner of the old sacrificial wine twitched, and the New Year's Eve gave His Majesty a discount, can you talk a little more
It is a pity that only the old sacrificial wine understands the court, and the family does not understand it.
"Why is the bad brother-in-law going too?" Xiao Jingkong suddenly felt a little resentful.
When the three came to the carriage, they were surprised to find that there were already three people sitting inside: Gu Yan, Gu Xiaoshun, and three-month-old Gu Xiaobao.
Gu Jiao: "..."
Strange tails have been added again,,,
But in the end, all the little tails were grabbed by Yao shi. There was no other reason. The carriage was not big enough to hold so many people.
But it's not fair to let the little tail come down, so they don't go together.
And because of the official excuse of the memorial, Xiao Heng perfectly avoided the fate of being left at home by Yao Shi.
The four little faces watched the two get into the carriage with expressionless faces.
But what no one expected was that before Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng set off, the aunt's carriage arrived.
Aunt has not received the news of Gu Jiao's return. She is here to celebrate Xiao Heng and Xiao Jingkong's birthday. Gu Jiao is not here, the two cubs must be sad and broken, so she pushed the palace banquet off under the pretext of saying that she was sick.
"It's Auntie! Auntie is here!"
As soon as Xiao Jingkong's voice came out, Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao got off the carriage.
Eunuch Qin also got off the carriage. He opened the curtain for Empress Dowager Zhuang. Empress Dowager Zhuang bowed and walked out. Halfway through, Eunuch Qin shook his hand and the curtain fell with a slam, hitting Empress Dowager Zhuang in the face!
Empress Dowager Zhuang: "...!!"
The surname is Qin!
Hit the old lady in the face during the Chinese New Year!
Do you and your group of little bastards want to live!
Empress Dowager Zhuang is going to see blood today!
"Gu, Miss Gu!" Eunuch Qin was stunned!
Empress Dowager Zhuang slammed back the curtain, full of anger that she wanted to use Eunuch Qin's pool of little bastards to sacrifice to the heavens, and she went out with a puff when she saw Gu Jiao!
"Qin Huai." Her eyes fell on Gu Jiao's face and she called Eunuch Qin's name.
"Hey, Empress Dowager!" Eunuch Qin regained his senses.
Empress Dowager Zhuang slapped him on the forehead!
Eunuch Qin: "?!"
"Does it hurt?" Queen Mother Zhuang asked.
"Slaves, slaves don't dare to hurt." Qin Gonggong said with sincerity and fear.
Empress Dowager Zhuang brushed her sleeves and took a deep breath: "That's the pain. It's good, it's not a dream."
Eunuch Qin: "..."
"Auntie." Gu Jiao walked over.
After Mrs. Zhuang, Bishui Hutong was always dressed as an old lady, and she could not see the extravagance of a queen mother of a country. Even the carriage she rode was the same as the folk carriage.
It's just that the stool is a little steeper, and someone has to support it.
Eunuch Qin hurriedly stretched out his arm.
Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at him in disgust.
Eunuch Qin's eyes flashed, and he stepped aside with interest.
Gu Jiao helped Empress Dowager Zhuang down.
Empress Dowager Zhuang did not wait to enter the yard, but looked at Gu Jiao at the door.
Gu Jiao's change is obvious. She was not a girl who was pampered in her boudoir. She often tossed herself in the wind and the rain. For this reason, she almost made the Queen Mother Zhuang dare not dare to come back after a trip. recognize.
Needless to say, she lost weight, she got tanned, her cheeks were red with frozen blood, and her lips were a little chapped.
She is at the most beautiful age for a girl. In the eyes of Empress Dowager Zhuang, she is still beautiful and heroic, and she has a power that is not inferior to Zhaoguo Erlang.
Queen Mother Zhuang thought about how she should ask Gu Jiao to ask her guilt when she came back, but when she really saw it, Queen Mother Zhuang realized that she couldn't even ask a single sentence.
Thousands of emotions were stuck in her heart, she took a deep breath, restrained the wetness of her eyes, and patted Gu Jiao's hand: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."
Gu Jiao took her aunt's hand.
Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't say anything, just grabbed Gu Jiao's hand tightly.
Just when Empress Dowager Zhuang was immersed in the strong emotion of Gu Jiao's loss and recovery, another carriage suddenly came across the alley.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and a figure of Longwei bowed and walked out.
When he saw the Empress Dowager Zhuang at the door, he was startled: "Mother? Didn't you recuperate in Renshou Palace? Why did you sneak up to Bishui Hutong?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang choked and gave him a slanted glance: "Didn't you say retreat to pray for the soldiers? Then why did you come to Bishui Hutong?"
"That is..." The emperor was about to say that he was secretly out to let the wind out, but he saw the small figure hidden behind the back of the Queen Mother Zhuang.
He opened his eyes wide and walked over: "Little genius doctor? Are you back?"
"Well, I'm back."
"You, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Gu Jiao said.
The emperor looked at her and felt that she was fine and alive, and he said happily: "It's great that you are fine! You have finally returned safely, and my mother will never ignore me again!"
Empress Dowager Zhuang's mouth twitched and her face darkened. She didn't realize that blaming you for taking Jiaojiao to the frontier was just an excuse. Aijia simply didn't want to pay attention to you!
The emperor did not receive the dislike from his mother at all, and he was very happy. First, the mother finally wanted to take care of him, and second, the little magician returned safely.
The frontier fortress won the battle this time, and the little genius doctor also contributed.
He will reward her well!
