I can't afford it, it's super fierce!

Yongshou Palace

Princess Anping trotted all the way, because of the coldness on her body, she had no choice but to go to the fire in the Nuan Pavilion to warm her body first, took off the cloak and handed it to the maid, and rushed into the inner hall with small steps.

"Mother, I heard that something happened to Brother Wang." Princess Anping hurriedly bowed to the queen mother who was sitting on the couch, and saw Gu Yunsheng who was also here, and after receiving the gift from Gu Yunsheng's elders, she looked at the queen mother impatiently.

"Don't worry, the imperial physician in the palace just came back to report to Ai's family, your brother Wang is fine." The Queen Mother waved to Princess Anping and asked her to sit beside her.

"That's right, I heard that brother Wang is very serious this time, and the imperial physicians on duty in the palace wanted to call over for a consultation, but..." Princess Anping choked on the empress dowager's obviously haggard face under the sun in the middle of her sentence. .

Seeing this, Grandma Tian, ​​who was waiting at the side, hurriedly spoke to ease the frozen atmosphere: "Princess, please rest assured, there are noble people in the palace, and the prince is safe and sound."

"Your Excellency?" The Eldest Princess was startled.

"Auntie forgot Mr. Jiang?" Gu Yunsheng reminded him from the side: "The imperial doctor reported that it was Mr. Jiang who guarded Uncle Wang for the whole night last night. The pain. According to the imperial physician, the prince did not suffer last night and slept soundly!"

"Really?" Princess Anping was overjoyed: "So, it was Mr. Jiang who saved Brother Wang?"

"The imperial doctor said that Uncle Wang's poisonous situation is dangerous this time, and all means are still useless. Just when everyone was at a loss, Mr. Jiang stepped forward to stabilize Uncle Wang's poisonous attack, and protected him with true energy so that Uncle Wang would not be exhausted. And to relieve the pain of the severe poisoning attack, it is really Uncle Wang who hits the nobleman." Gu Yunsheng was eloquent, telling the truth.

"Mother's queen." Princess Anping didn't know whether she was anxious or happy, and sobbed in the queen mother's arms with red eyes: "The maid came to my palace and said something happened to the prince, but I was scared out of my wits. I will immediately send someone out of the palace to the palace. Inquire, what they said in reply is so scary..."

"Don't be sad, Hua'er, Ai's family is just as worried as you. If Jin knows that there is an eventuality, Ai's family is afraid..." The Queen Mother's words choked up, and tears flashed from the corners of darkly wrinkled eyes.

Princess Anping was secretly startled: "Mother..."

The queen mother caressed her head and forced a smile: "Fortunately, there is Mr. Jiang here. The imperial doctor said that Jin Zhi has not recovered since the last poisoning, and this time the poisoning is dangerous. Abnormal, in danger. If there is no Mr. Jiang... I am afraid that Jin Zhi will..."

"Queen mother, don't talk about it, I'm afraid." Princess Anping shrank in the arms of the queen mother, her body trembling from sobbing.

Seeing this, Gu Yunsheng got up and went around in front of the queen mother, bowed and said: "Grandmother and aunt don't have to worry too much, there is an imperial doctor staying behind in Uncle Wang's mansion to take care of him. They have been here for many years, and they must be safe and sound. Besides, there is Jiang Mr. is here! Grandson has been entrusted by the emperor, and will go to Prince Shu's mansion later to visit Uncle Wang, and ask the grandmother to rest assured."

"That's right, then you should go earlier." The queen mother excitedly called Gu Yunsheng, held Gu Yunsheng's hand tightly and said, "Go early and return early, and tell Ai's family the truth about Jin Zhi's situation. Also, Mother Tian, Go and instruct the small kitchen to prepare the ingredients, Aijia has to cook a bowl of Linglong Jiuzhen soup for him personally. Sheng'er, you have to send it to him."

As a courtesy, Tian Nanny was about to go to work when the Empress Dowager hurriedly stopped her: "Prepare more, let's go."

"Yes." Mother Tian walked away slowly, the queen mother sighed quietly, and said to Gu Yunsheng seriously: "The Ai family has lived in the deep palace for a long time and it is inconvenient to go out. When you arrive at your uncle Wang's mansion, don't forget to thank Mr. Jiang on behalf of the Ai family. "

Gu Yunsheng was a little surprised, and quickly nodded in response: "Don't worry, grandma, grandson will."

The queen mother nodded lightly, and sighed in her words: "Jiang Li was born in a noble family, and everyone has a good demeanor. Since he is the son of Mr. Jiang in the past, he must be like his father. Gold, silver and jade are all vulgar things. He thinks he doesn't like them. Bring them with him. If they are compatible, they will look down on others, and there is a suspicion of contempt and belittlement."

Hearing this, Gu Yunsheng hurriedly corrected his name: "Sir, it is not for the money and power to save Uncle Wang, but he is really helping Uncle Wang."

"The Ai family knows." The Queen Mother lightly patted Gu Yunsheng on the shoulder: "So, the Ai family personally prepared two meals, and you give one to Jiang Li as a token of gratitude. If there is a chance in the future, I will I will announce him into the palace, and the Ai family has long wanted to meet this famous Mr. Jiang."

The sun was shining brightly, and the streets were full of people.Gu Yunsheng rode alone, leaving his followers far behind.The horse's back was bumping, but the food box in Gu Yunsheng's hand didn't shake at all, and the food inside didn't splash out at all.

Suddenly seeing a familiar figure standing by the side of the road, Gu Yunsheng subconsciously reined in the reins and stopped, and looked intently, it was indeed Ding Zuo.

At this time, Ding Zuo was wearing a camel-colored uniform with a white jade belt around his waist. His attire was ordinary, especially his innate laughing and joking aura, which made it impossible for people to see that he was a young general of the third rank in the court, calming down the border war. hero.

And what he did at this time made Gu Yunsheng even more dumbfounded.

The dignified general of the third rank of the imperial court is actually bargaining with an old woman who set up a stall!

"Ten taels of silver for a painted clay sculpture, are you being too ruthless? Don't think I don't know what to buy. I saw a lot of these painted clay sculptures when I was wandering around the northwest. The most expensive one is no more than two yuan. Auntie, we As for those who do business, they should be honest and genuine, right?"

Old woman: "..."

Ding Zuo leaned on his chin to look around, and finally picked up a clay sculpture that was eye-catching: "Well... this persimmon is very beautiful, everything goes well, and the meaning is also very good, that's all. Look at the aunt It's not easy for you to do business, how about a tael of silver?"

Old woman: "..."

"Too little?" Ding Zuo put up a finger very understandingly: "Two taels?"

The old woman was expressionless.

"Two and a half?"

The old woman looked gloomy.

"Yeah, just three taels, I'll buy three taels, how about it?"

The old woman really wanted to smash a persimmon and make her face blossom!

Gu Yunsheng: "..."

If this scene is seen by the emperor...

Gu Yunsheng lightly clamped the horse's belly, approached Jiang Zuo with small steps, deeply helpless: "General Ding, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's the King of Zhaojun." Ding Zuo was startled, turned around and bowed deeply to Gu Yunsheng, and said with a smile, "Where is the King of Zhaojun going, who is full of dust and dust?"

"Prince Shu's Mansion." Gu Yunsheng shook the food box, looked down at the painted clay sculpture in Ding's left hand, and the frantic old woman who looked like she was going to kill someone: "General Ding, this is..."

"The last general is also going to see his little cousin at Prince Shu's mansion. This visit can't be empty-handed, so I thought about getting him some good things. No, I fell in love with this painted clay sculpture." Ding Zuo finished speaking, Turning back to the old woman again, she said, "That's all right, four taels of silver, how about I buy it. Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and let the sky clear!"

Before the old woman couldn't bear it, Gu Yunsheng couldn't help but scold: "I said, General Ding, what are you doing? Since you want to give someone a gift, how can you bring a price reduction?"

"If you can save, you can save. We have to know how to avoid the important and take the light, right?" Ding Zuo looked at the old woman's unwillingness, and took out five taels of silver and put it on the table: "Little cousin is loved by Lord Shu. The things that scare people's eyes must naturally be given by Lord Shu. Why should we join in the fun? It is precisely because of the cheapness of the gift that the general will give you the preciousness of Lord Shu's clay feet, right?"

Gu Yunsheng: "..."

What kind of logic is this!

"Since the destination is in the same place, let's go together with King Zhaojun." Ding Zuo said with a smile, and reached out to pick up Gu Yunsheng's food box: "How can King Zhaojun carry it? .”

Such enthusiasm made Gu Yunsheng a little at a loss.Subconsciously handed over the food box, jumped off the horse, led the rein and walked forward side by side with Ding's left shoulder.

"Is General Ding going back to the border next month?" After walking for a while, Gu Yunsheng asked casually.

"Maybe earlier." Ding Zuo also answered casually: "Maybe next month, maybe even earlier. Why, King Zhaojun wants to compete with the last general again?"

Before Gu Yunsheng could answer, Ding Zuo seemed to suddenly become interested, and said with great fighting spirit: "That's great, your riding skills are superb, and I won by luck. It's rare that there is someone who can match the opponent. Do you want to compare again?"

"Okay." Gu Yunsheng was excited once he picked up the knife and gun, and the two walked quickly, and they arrived at the gate of Prince Shu's mansion in a short while.All the way into the inner courtyard, they wanted to go to the bedroom of the main hall to meet Gu Jinzhi, but after hearing what Dr. Zhou said, Gu Jinzhi was taking a nap, so the two had to divert to the Xinyu Building.From a long distance away, suddenly a melodious and clear sound of the flute came to the face, causing Ding Zuo and Gu Yunsheng to be stunned.

Walking into the building, the sound of the flute became clearer, melodious and ethereal, and reverberated continuously.Like an orchid in an empty valley, it makes people feel peaceful and peaceful in their hearts.Just like the saying "Sunday seeks the fragrance of the Surabaya shore, the boundless scenery is new for a while", it makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally, refreshing and happy.

Looking for the sound of the flute, the two of them couldn't help being amazed when they saw the person standing outside the balcony playing the flute against the wind.

The sound of the flute stagnated, and the two were still immersed in the beauty of the music and couldn't extricate themselves. It took them a long time to react.Gu Yunsheng took a step forward, and respectfully cupped his hands and said: "Mr. is proficient in music theory and rhythm, second to none. I thought that Mr. was only good at playing the piano, but I didn't expect that Mr. is also good at other musical instruments. Such a wonderful flute sound, the students are amazed."

"That's right, it's the first time I've heard my little cousin play the flute." Ding Zuo laughed happily.

"Greetings to General Ding, and King Zhaojun." Jiang Li held the bamboo flute in his hand. The material is rare bitter bamboo, the sound quality is the best, and the flute body is exquisite, which is a rare top grade.

"Accidentally found this thing in Xinyu Tower. I thought it was the prince who left it here before. He had nothing to do, so he used it to play."

"Almost forgot." Gu Yunsheng tapped his head like a sudden realization: "Uncle Wang can also play the flute, but his interest is not in the rhythm, so naturally he doesn't have such a natural talent as Mr. Wang."

Ding Zuo chuckled beside him: "Fortunately, Lord Shu didn't hear you play the flute, otherwise he would have lit up his eyes as if he had found a treasure, and everyone in the capital would know about the trouble."

Gu Yunsheng showed an expression of "the hero sees the same thing" on the spot, pretending to be helpless: "Uncle Wang doesn't know how to keep a low profile. If Mr. Jiang has something good, he will definitely publicize it everywhere. I'm afraid that no one will know Mr. Jiang's goodness. Uncle Wang is taking a nap. General Ding and I could only look at him through the screen in the side hall, and slept soundly, presumably he is in good health?"
