After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Moon Tower.

At this moment, Gu Mingzhe was staring at the flowing clouds and water outside the window, lost in thought.

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu?" Zhang Mingxuan called out twice before finally bringing the man back to his senses. "What are you thinking about?"

"Missing Zhaohua... um... nothing..."

"I heard you say you missed that little princess?" Zhang Mingxuan rushed over excitedly and said with a smile:

"Brother Gu, it's not easy. You actually have moments of spring in your heart? Don't people always say that the Gu family's heir apparent is a cold and aloof immortal, easily untouched by the mundane world?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can it be so exaggerated?" Gu Mingzhe frowned slightly.

"It's not an exaggeration, not at all..." Zhang Mingxuan said this, and seemed to think of something else, "But your taste is not very good. Why did you fall for that woman?"

"Haoqing, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Mingzhe's face was slightly cold, "Don't be rude to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Look, as soon as she arrived in Beijing, she first destroyed the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, Fu Lin disappeared, and now she has offended the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, and Chen Yan is seriously injured in bed. Now there are only two left of our four young masters in the capital."

Zhang Mingxuan said this with a hint of anger in his heart, "Now I have taken your soul away again..."

"You're getting more and more outrageous. Although I don't know the inside story, it's true that the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion angered His Majesty. It's not Princess Zhaohua's fault. As for the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, wasn't it Chen Yan who planned it first and brought it upon himself?"

"All this happened after she came to Beijing. It shows that Princess Zhaohua has a bit of bad luck... Brother Gu, don't get too close to her..." Zhang Mingxuan warned seriously.

Gu Mingzhe sighed slightly, a trace of loneliness appearing on his handsome face: "I do want to, but I don't even have the chance to get close to her..."

"No, you really like her?" Zhang Mingxuan frowned and said, "That's a princess. If you become a prince consort in the future, you will never have the chance to enter the court and serve as an official..."

"I have no intention of pursuing a career in politics..." Gu Mingzhe murmured softly, but his father would not agree to him going against his will.

The Gu family will still depend on him to support it in the future.

But who knows that what he wants most in his heart is to indulge in mountains and rivers, recite poems, play the piano, and paint in the lakeside garden.

It would be best if there was a beautiful woman by your side, who could add to your fragrance and make you feel the same way as me.

That weak and pale face seemed to appear in front of Gu Mingzhe's eyes.

That day, although she was injured, she was still able to deal with the provocation from the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion with ease.

The incomparable brilliance at the Chongyang Palace Banquet and the pale, powerless, fragile strength of today gradually merged into one.

He had never seen such a woman before.

Zhang Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, "I'm afraid you don't have a chance. That woman is more optimistic about Fang Ping... I heard that Fang Ping has come to visit several times... He was there today too... I guess he was visiting the patient..."

Gu Mingzhe suddenly felt depressed.

"She's injured, but I don't even dare to visit her..." Gu Mingzhe instinctively ignored the previous sentence "She is more optimistic about Fang Ping"...

"If you really want to go, it's not impossible!" Zhang Mingxuan couldn't bear to see his friend so disappointed. After all, it was the first time he saw Brother Gu, who looked like a banished immortal, with such an expression.

Gu Mingzhe suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Mingxuan with sharp eyes.

Zhang Mingxuan was speechless for a moment, then said unhappily, "When I left, I heard that my elder sister seemed to have gone to the princess's residence... As a younger brother, going to pick her up and take her home is at least a reason!"

After that, he paused, "You can come with me, and say you're coming to my house for a meal and pick someone up..."

Gu Mingzhe:........

Is this excuse a bit too lame?

He and Miss Zhang had no personal relationship, so he came unexpectedly... He didn't know if Zhao Hua would misunderstand...

"Since you don't want to go, then forget it..." Zhang Mingxuan saw Gu Mingzhe's hesitation and immediately understood what he was thinking, so he politely declined.

"Haoqing treats me sincerely, how can I refuse?" Gu Mingzhe immediately comforted him, fearing that if he was a moment late, Zhang Mingxuan would really not go.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go there!"

Zhang Mingxuan was about to take his men away, but he saw Gu Mingzhe carefully straightening his clothes. He then said solemnly, "It's your first visit, how can you be rude? I'll have someone return home and bring back some gifts."

Zhang Mingxuan:.........

When accompanying his brother on a visit, he also has to give a gift?

"Haoqing, you don't need to prepare anything. Just prepare together with me!"

Gu Mingzhe casually called his subordinates and ordered them to return to the prime minister's residence as quickly as possible to get an exquisite gift box prepared in his study.

Oh, if you don’t take another painting casually, you won’t leave your good brother’s gift behind.

A quarter of an hour later, in front of the princess's mansion.

Two luxurious carriages met here.

One was the carriage of Prince An's Mansion, and Princess Anqing Murong Huan got out of the carriage with a cold look on her face.

The other one was the prime minister's carriage, in which sat the prime minister's legitimate son, Gu Mingzhe, while Zhang Mingxuan rode a horse to protect the carriage the entire time.

The two groups got off the cars at the same time and saluted each other.

Only then did they all turn their eyes to the gate of the princess's mansion.

It seems that everyone has the same purpose today, which is to visit Princess Zhaohua.

At the same time, in the princess's mansion next door.

When Princess Anle Murong Xin heard from her servants that Murong Huan had actually gone to visit the princess's residence, she immediately ran out holding up her skirt.

After all, Murong Huan came to her princess's mansion last time to cause trouble.

She must not allow Murong Huan, this hot little girl, to offend Sister Zhong.

......

Princess Mansion, in the back garden.

Lady Ruan, Su Xin and the others stood in the corridor, watching from afar the people in Qinghui Pavilion chatting happily. Although they couldn't hear what they were saying, they could tell from their expressions that the princess was really happy.

Not long after, Lord Fang suddenly took out something that looked like a musical instrument and started singing a little tune in the pavilion.

The most surprising thing was that the princess actually sang with the young lady from the Zhang family and occasionally sang a few lines along.

Although they were watching from afar and could only roughly hear the music, they had to admit that the music was quite nice.

Nun-san and the others were engrossed in their listening when a little maid hurried in to announce, "Princess Anle, Princess Anqing, Master Gu, Master Zhang, and other distinguished guests have arrived!"

Seeing so many people coming all of a sudden, Lady Ruan frowned slightly. The princess was in a happy mood, so she didn't dare to disturb her without permission.

"Miss Ruan, would you like to report this to His Highness?" Su Xin asked in a low voice.

Lady Ruan nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead! I'll wait here."

Su Xin:........

Su Xin looked at the three people singing happily in the pavilion and shook her head, "I dare not disturb His Highness at this time!"

After saying that, she looked up at Lady Ruan, only to see a wry smile on her lips. She then shook her head and said, "Let's go, Your Highness is rarely so happy!"

When Lady Ruan said this, she headed towards the gate.

Arriving at the Princess's residence, Lady Ruan bowed to everyone before apologizing, "My Lady, my Princess is currently entertaining guests. Could you and your two young masters please come back another day?"
