I have never experienced the taste of family affection. In my two lives, Gu Qing mostly lives in the darkness.

When I was in a mountain village, I struggled for food and clothing. After coming to Chang'an, I was full of intrigues and deceptions. After leading the troops, I even walked through the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Only in front of Zhang Jiuzhang, Li Shierniang and many elders did Gu Qing feel that he was not old at all, but in their eyes, he was still a child.

After experiencing two lifetimes of darkness, Gu Qing is still willing to chase the sunshine in his heart.

This is more valuable than power and country. Light is in my heart, and the darkness in my sight will eventually wait until dawn.

Returning to the city from the refugee camp outside the city, the bustling scenes formed a completely different visual impact from the rotten and messy scenes in the refugee camp. The two seemed to be completely different from the same dimension, but the fact is that they were only separated by a city gate.

In a trance, Gu Qing had the illusion of returning to the human world from hell.

Wan Chun walked beside him, and her mood seemed to have improved, and her walking posture was a little excited.

Because Gu Qing just now hugged her shoulder, maybe it was unintentional, but this small contact made her secretly happy for a long time.

"Hey, those refugees won't scold you anymore, will you?" Wan Chun said happily.

Gu Qing looked around and looked confused: "Who is 'Hey'?"

Wan Chun glared at him: "Of course it's you."

Gu Qing said seriously: "First of all, I don't call him Hey, my name is Chu Yuxuan..."

Wan Chun was shocked: "…………”

Shaking his head, Gu Qing rubbed his temples and sighed: "My mind is a little confused, let me slow down..."

Wan Chun suddenly laughed and said, "You, you were so wise and cruel in front of the refugees just now, and you were as majestic as a general. The refugees didn't even dare to breathe in front of you. Who knew that they would be so ungrateful in the blink of an eye, like a newly grown child, hehe..."

Gu Qing hummed and said, "If my concubine makes money and works harder, I am now his father."

Wanchun and Huangfu Sisi had a good personal relationship. She knew very well the true meaning of "making money harder" and couldn't help but fly on her cheeks, blushed and spat softly.

"You are shameless and have sex with money. You have never heard of it since ancient times. You are such a weird thing."

Wan Chun turned his head and looked behind him, saying, "Do you decide to continue to provide relief to the refugees? Are their food enough? If you think it's not enough, I'll visit a few more powerful families tomorrow..."

The little face suddenly frowned, and Wan Chun said bitterly: "In the past, I was a guest of honor for the powerful families in Chang'an City. In order to raise food for refugees, I have become hated by everyone. Many powerful people deliberately avoid me and will not let me enter..."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "The friendship between you powerful people is so fragile. It seems that you are not making any real friends."

Wan Chun also smiled: "If my true friend is tossed by me, the warehouse in the mansion is half empty, I will probably break up with me."

Gu Qing said seriously: "Thank you for these days, and you don't have to raise food anymore. Zhang Huaiyu and Sisikuo have returned from the south. They brought food, and it's not a big problem until the beginning of spring..."

Wan Chun said deflatedly: "They are more capable than me."

"You can see whether you can do it? You are the most capable of it within the scope of all the princesses of the Tang Dynasty."

Wan Chun had a smile in his eyes: "Among all the princesses in the Tang Dynasty, am I the most beautiful?"

"You think the most beautiful thing..."

The topic was off the beat. When it comes to "the most beautiful", Gu Qing couldn't help but see the scene of the night of Zhongnan Mountain that year, which was white.

Unfortunately, I never met again after Mount Zhongnan.

"Are you getting married with Zhang Huaiyu...?" Wan Chun asked suddenly.

Gu Qing nodded calmly: "It's almost done. This time, when she comes back, I will ask her parents for marriage."

Wan Chun sighed sadly and murmured: "I lost after all..."

Then he sorted out his expression, and Wanchun smiled again and said, "Then I wish you a happy marriage and a happy old age."

Gu Qing said seriously: "For the sake of your hard work in raising food these days, I don't want your money to get married, and just verbal blessings are enough."

Wan Chun snorted: "Do I need that little money for me?"

Gu Qing sighed relieved: "Since you strongly ask, of course I want to be a good person. The more gifts, the better. Don't lose the princess' face."

Wan Chun was so angry that he beat him hard: "I know how to bully me if I have a stomach full of bad water!"

Gu Qing smiled with relief. What is the change of worldly affairs? Wan Chun was not satisfied with that time and ordered to drag Gu Qing out and behead him. Now he has become a coquettish little fist to hit his chest.

This is the world of change.

I felt a little strange. Didn’t Wanchun always like herself? Why didn’t she feel too sad when she heard the news that she and Zhang Huaiyu were going to get married?

So, ultimately, I just don’t love it anymore?

While hesitating, a fast horse suddenly rushed to Gu Qing and Wan Chun.

The person who came was Gu Qing's personal guard. Before the person was dismounted, the knight deliberately let go of his voice on the street and shouted: "Congratulations to Mr. Gu, no, you can't call him Master from now on. Congratulations to the prince. The emperor just issued an order to imperial court to Jin Jin, with a fief of 3,000 households, and 100,000 soldiers of the Anxi Army congratulate the prince!"

Gu Qing was shocked, his mind quickly turned and his expression quickly returned to normal.

But Wan Chun looked at him in shock, blinking her beautiful eyes like autumn water. She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she was quite sensitive to court politics and soon understood the profound meaning behind Gu Qing's title of king.

On the crowded streets, the knight's roar quickly gained the effect.

Countless passers-by on the streets of Chang'an stopped and looked at Gu Qing in the center of the road in surprise. Seeing the knight who reported the news, he knelt down to Gu Qing first, and the passers-by also bowed to Gu Qing and congratulated each other.

"Here the Prince of Shuzhou!"

…………

On the winding mountain road, ox carriages and horses swaying on the road.

The car was loaded with bags of grain, and more than 2,000 Anxi soldiers escorted the vehicles. Each car was accompanied by civilians and a team of grain transporters headed towards Chang'an City in a mighty manner.

Zhang Huaiyu and Huangfu Sisi sat side by side on the first carriage in the team. The carriage was bumpy, and Huangfu Sisi's face turned a little blue with discomfort.

Zhang Huaiyu and Huangfu Sisi met two days ago. One of them went to Shannan Road and the other went to Huainan Road. The two girls raised food in different places.

The process of raising food was not considered peaceful, and the local state officials were reluctant. Due to Gu Qing's reputation and official title, they had to passively help gather the local landlords.

The local landlords were not so proud of their face. Gu Qing’s name may not be effective in the sky and the emperor was far away, and the price of purchasing grain from them was not high, so the landlords all resisted.

The more than 2,000 Anxi soldiers brought by the two women finally played their role, and they didn't have to do anything. They held the long halberd in their hands and fought quietly outside the hall, emitting a little solemn and murderous aura, and the landlords did not dare to say anything.

Of course, resisting is still resisting, but fear is also really fear. Ordinary landlords usually do not have the courage to continue to be tough in front of swords. Those landlords with powerful people behind them have more concerns, fearing that they will cause trouble for the powerful people behind them, and fearing that they will anger Gu Qing and cause a big disaster. After all, although Mr. Gu disdained to deal with a few small landlords, can he still not deal with the powerful people behind them?

Zhang Huaiyu and Huangfu Sisi were also quite aggressive when acting outside. With the support of the Anxi Army soldiers, their attitude was extremely firm. After several soft and hard practices, the landlords finally surrendered and had to sell the grain at a price lower than the market price.

So the two girls hired a carriage and returned home with a full load.

On the swaying carriage, Huangfu Sisi's brain was swollen, she had a severe headache, and she wanted to vomit.

Looking at her who was about to vomit but not, Zhang Huaiyu stroked her back and handed her a skin bag, then said suspiciously: "You... can't have it?"

Huangfu Sisi shook her head quickly, smiled pale, and said, "No, I must not have one. I just came to Yuexin a few days ago..."

Zhang Huaiyu said oh, "You look so suspicious, it looks like you are pregnant. If you have it, it means that our family doesn't have so many bad rules. After Gu Qingruo has it, it will be a big happy event for the Gu family. There is no need to hide it, and I will not harm you."

Huangfu Sisi still shook her head: "I really don't have it, I've always been very careful."

Zhang Huaiyu smiled and said, "Can you be careful about such things?"

Huangfu Sisi looked around, then leaned into Zhang Huaiyu's ear and blushed and said a few whispers.

Zhang Huaiyu was shocked after hearing this. Even the angry chivalrous woman couldn't help but blush and said in disbelief: "You mean, you and him every time... you don't let him..."

Huangfu Sisi's face was as red as the sunset, and she lowered her head and chuckled, "Well, every time... she is outside."

Zhang Huaiyu's pretty face turned red. She was unable to accept these words of tiger and wolf without any human experience.

"Why are you...?" Zhang Huaiyu couldn't help asking.

Huangfu Sisi sighed quietly and said, "I am just the concubine of the Gu family. The prince has become a towering tree. In the future, he will definitely be extremely wealthy and powerful. He will become an unattainable powerful family in the eyes of outsiders. The higher the family, the more rules you have to follow. If the children born in the Gu family are older than those born in the legitimate family, it will not be a good thing for the powerful family. In the future, the more trouble you will have when your children grow up, so I will be very careful before the prince marrys you as the official wife."

Zhang Huaiyu was silent for a while and said amused and crying: "You, you're thinking too much. Haven't you noticed that Gu Qing is different from other powerful people? Very different. Our family doesn't have so many outdated rules. Gu Qing and I are both casual people. On the contrary, you are too deliberate and no one forces you to do so, why should you live so tiring?"

Huangfu Sisi sighed lightly: "Miss should have the awareness of the concubine. In the Gu family's house, living casually is one thing, and not overstepping the identity is another thing. If I do something that makes you unhappy, even if I don't say it, I will inevitably have grudges. After a long period of accumulation, there will be a day of explosion. I don't want to have that day, so I have to be careful in words and actions on weekdays, and I cannot make mistakes. I... want to live with my husband for the rest of my life."

Zhang Huaiyu was dumbfounded. Although she was a woman, her personality was always bold and generous. The hero only had mountains and rivers and the people in his eyes, but he was never used to dealing with these trivial matters of family matters.

Tickling his head irritably, Zhang Huaiyu said toughly: "Anyway, everything is casual. I am not a petty person, nor is my sister. You and Gu Qing... don't have to be so deliberate. If you get pregnant, it is God's will. You should have this fate. There is no need to wait until he marry me before you dare to have it. There is no saying that our family is born with a legitimate child. They are all children. They are born with the Gu family. Why should the illegitimate child be shorter than the legitimate child? That's not the case. In the future, all the children of the Gu family will be treated equally."

Huangfu Sisi's eyes turned red with her sobbing, and she choked: "Sister Huaiyu... I suddenly felt very lucky in this life. Compared to marrying Mr. Gu, it is the luckiest thing to meet a wise and generous wife like Sister Huaiyu."

Zhang Huaiyu sighed: "I am also from a wealthy family, and I am also a illegitimate child. It is precisely because I am a illegitimate child that I know how difficult it is for a illegitimate child to live. Our family will not have these bad rules in the future. Gu Qing is not that kind of person, nor am I."

As he said that, Zhang Huaiyu looked at Huangfu Sisi and said, "Don't worry, if you can get pregnant, Gu Qing would be very happy. With his current status, your child will be awarded a bunch of official titles as soon as he was born, which is also a guarantee for you."

After a pause, Zhang Huaiyu's face turned red again, and hesitated: "Every time you... are you so accurate, just at the last moment... pull it out? Gu Qing... is he happy?"

Huangfu Sisi also blushed, laughed, and leaned into her ear and said a few more whispers.

Zhang Huaiyu was shocked again: "The mouth... can also be used..."

Then he gritted his teeth, Zhang Huaiyu's face turned red, and he cursed viciously: "This lewd and indecent bastard!"

Huangfu Sisi had a little more charm in her eyes, and she covered her mouth and chuckled: "This bastard... has many tricks, so I'll know when my sister gets married."

…………

It was three days later that I returned to Chang'an City.

Gu Qing was surprised when he heard the news and welcomed him out of the city ten miles away in advance. Looking at the vast array of grain trucks, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

This hurdle has passed without any danger.
To be continued...
