Chapter 37
“No! You want to play with me too!” Jiang Libai wobbled on the snow and took two steps towards Gu Yun, then grabbed her hand and threw her into the soft snow.
Gu Yun had no choice but to soften his feet and fell firmly into the snow.
After taking a big mouthful of snow, she blinked, turned her head, and looked at the smiling Seventh Princess: “Am I also like a turtle now?” As she spoke, her slender limbs began to look like the seven princesses just now. Princess swings like that.
Jiang Libai was amused by her, she bent her mouth and rushed towards her, grabbing her right hand and scraping the snow together: “Stop swimming, little turtle, hurry up and scrape some snow, let’s build a big snowman later!”
The princess ordered, and Gu Yun obeyed.
The two of them dawdled in the snow for a long time, digging a huge pile of snow.
Seeing that the sky had already darkened, Chun Xi, who was silently waiting by the side, beckoned silently to the servants behind her, and asked them in a low voice to light more lanterns around here.
After a while, the garden was much brighter.
Looking at the round pile of snow in front of her, Jiang Libai stood up, “Quick, quick! I want a snowman this big, and then I will give her a warm hat…”
Gu Yun listened to the Seventh Princess talking about her request, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she started to do it: “Okay, I will build you a big and beautiful snowman, and then dress her up beautifully…”
The fine snow was flying, and the candles were flickering.
The quiet garden is full of laughter from the seven princesses.
Chunxi stood silently on the path, looking at the picturesque scenery ahead, couldn’t help laughing together.
It seems like her princess has indeed found a mate with whom she can spend the rest of her life.
At this moment, she is also happy that the seventh princess can find a lover.
…
It was completely dark.
A big round snowman has already appeared in the vast snow field.
Gu Yun carefully placed the last round head on it, and when it was firm, she clapped her hands, “Okay. Next is the eyes, nose and mouth.”
Jiang Libai looked at the big and round snowman, laughed, and hurriedly handed the two black chess pieces sent by Cai Chunxi to Gu Yun, “Hey, these are her eyes.”
After fixing her eyes, Jiang Libai picked up the carrot at her feet again: “This is her nose.”
After a while, the eyes, nose and mouth were all ready, and the prototype was formed.
Jiang Libai smiled and waved to Chunxi outside: “Hat! Hat!”
Chunxi hurried over and handed the red gold-woven hat she just took to Princess Seven.
As soon as the last hat is put on, the snowman is built.
The white snow reflected crystal light under the faint candlelight, and the snowman with the corners of his mouth raised crossed his hands and placed in front of him. The hat on his head was crooked, which looked funny and exaggerated.
Jiang Libai turned her head to look at Gu Yun, and saw some beads of sweat on her forehead, she took a handkerchief to wipe her off: “You performed well today!”
Gu Yun held her hand and smiled lowly: “Then will the princess give me any reward?”
The tall and slender woman lowered her eyebrows, her narrow eyes lacked the usual innocence, and there was a lot of lingering affection, making her look calm and gentle.
Jiang Libai glanced at Chun Xi who was standing next to him from the corner of her eye, coughed twice: “What reward do you want?”
Seeing that the atmosphere is getting more and more ambiguous, pink bubbles seem to have formed around.
Chunxi backed away silently, leaving this small world to the seventh princess and the son-in-law.
Seeing this, Gu Yun pinched Princess Seven’s pink cheeks, and gave a very rare smirk, then leaned into her ear, and whispered: “Look, Chunxi thought we were going to do something bad, so we all have to worry about it.” Withdrew consciously.”
Jiang Libai also raised her hand to touch Gu Yun’s cheek, kneading it vigorously like kneading dough: “I think you want to do something bad!”
“Yes.” Gu Yun smiled, bent over, held the upturned little face of the Seventh Princess, and slowly kissed her thin lips.
The snow is getting bigger and bigger.
The catkin-like snow drifted down and swirled and landed on the two people who hugged each other tightly.
Gu Yun was worried that the seventh princess would catch a cold, so he ended the soft kiss in a short while.
“It’s windy, shall we go back to the house?”
Jiang Libai put both hands into Gu Yun’s cloak, nodded: “Okay, I’m sleepy too.”
She looked back at the snowman piled up behind her again, feeling a bit reluctant: “Will she still be here when I get up tomorrow morning? Will it melt?”
Gu Yun wrapped her whole body in his arms with a cloak, “Probably not. The weather is still very cold.”
Seeing that the Seventh Princess was still a little worried, she added: “If it melts, I’ll make another one for you tomorrow.”
In this way, Jiang Libai left the garden with Gu Yun in peace.
…
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.
According to the usual practice, members of the royal family all enter the palace on New Year’s Eve to watch the year together.
Fortunately, only members of the royal family can participate in this kind of banquet, and other civil and military ministers and family members are only allowed to enter the palace to have an audience on the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year.
So although the rumors about the Anyang uncle’s mansion have not stopped, Jiang Libai is relieved that Gu Yun will enter the palace with her.
After all, the people from Uncle Anyang’s Mansion can’t go to the palace to drag Gu Yun out.
As long as they stop making noise.
“Tomorrow, let’s go to see the concubine mother first. I want to ask if there is any progress in the matter of Uncle Anyang’s mansion. We can’t keep dragging on like this.”
Gu Yun also asked Mu Zhou to keep an eye on the Anyang uncle’s mansion.
But after Yan Qiaoer was almost assassinated, the people in Uncle Anyang’s mansion increased their manpower to guard the surroundings, so it would be difficult to get close at that time.
She felt it was redundant.
It is very likely that Yan Qiaoer was the second prince and the people from the Uncle Anyang’s mansion who wanted to silence her, but after the failure, the Uncle Anyang’s mansion showed a precarious look.
I don’t know if they are just playing, or the assassination of Yan Qiao’er really has nothing to do with them…
“Okay.” Gu Yun also wanted to know what Concubine Yuan Gui found out.
…
New Year’s Eve is here, and everywhere in Beijing is filled with the joy of celebrating the new year.
Many carriages had already parked at the entrance of the palace, and members of the royal family were led into the palace.
The carriage with the logo of Princess Jianing approached slowly, and Ming Tao, who was waiting at the gate of the palace, had already greeted her, “Princess, Your Majesty tells you that you don’t have to get out of the carriage, just enter Changchun Palace directly.”
The weather was extremely cold, and Concubine Yuan Gui felt sorry for her pregnant baby daughter.
Entering the Changchun Palace, the inner hall burning earth dragon is like spring, very warm.
Gu Yun untied Jiang Libai’s cloak, and helped her to sit down.
Concubine Yuan Gui laughed: “Why did you come so early today? Concubine Mu thought that you might not enter the palace until evening.”
Jiang Libai held the hot milk and took a small sip. After her body was filled with warmth, she raised her head, and the youngest daughter said politely, “I want to come to accompany mother and concubine sooner!”
“The presents chosen by Erchen and Gu Yun for the mother and concubine have already been sent to the Changchun Palace, and the gifts for the father have also been sent to him…” Jiang Li said a lot in vernacular.
Concubine Yuan Gui could tell from the smile on her face how happy and happy she was during this time.
She looked at her daughter dotingly: “Understood. I will spend less in the future, you know that the concubine mother will not lack anything.”
“You and Gu Yun have just been married for less than a year, and you left the palace to build a mansion. When you are short of money, you come to ask your mother and concubine for it, you know?”
Jiang Libai nodded obediently: “Okay.”
After a few people chatted briefly, Jiang Libai coughed lightly and asked Ming Tao to go out with the other little maids in the palace.
After there were only the three of them left in the room, Jiang Libai looked at Concubine Yuan Gui again: “Concubine Mother, I have something to ask you.”
“It’s about the Uncle Anyang’s mansion, right?” As soon as Jiang Libai opened her mouth, Concubine Yuan Gui knew what she wanted to ask.
The corners of Jiang Libai’s mouth raised: “Then concubine mother can talk to Erchen
Tell me? “She was a little afraid that her mother and concubine would still be the same as before, and she would not be allowed to get involved in these things.
Concubine Yuan Gui thought for a moment.
Then he glanced lightly at Gu Yun who was silent beside Jiang Libai.
“Since the two of you, husband and wife, came to ask together, it’s not good for the mother and concubine to hide it from you.”
Jiang Libai hastily pricked up her little ears.
In the main hall of the Changchun Palace, low voices sounded around, and some secrets found these days were revealed, and then gradually disappeared in the wind.
In fact, the people sent by Concubine Yuan Gui and General Zhao didn’t find anything, but the assassin who assassinated Yan Qiaoer revealed an important news before he died.
He just wanted to say that the person behind it was the Second Prince.
But in fact, Concubine Yuan Gui and Emperor Yu did not regard this as evidence.
After several investigations, Concubine Yuan Gui and Zhao’s people only found out that the people under the Second Prince had indeed had contacts with people from Anyang Bo’s.
“…But because there is still no result of Yunyan and Yan Qiaoer’s testimonies, so your father will not mention it. What he means is to spend this year well and then deal with it…”
Hearing this, Jiang Libai sighed in his heart.
Her father, indeed, is making love again.
“Don’t be discouraged either.” Concubine Yuan Gui looked at Jiang Libai’s lowered head, and comforted her: “In these years, your royal brothers have fought fiercely in private, but none of them involved you, so your father is just watching. Close one eye.”
“But now, their hands have reached out to you, and your father will no longer be as good-tempered as before. It’s just that a thorough investigation is needed now, and there is still a reason…”
Jiang Libai shook Gu Yun’s hand, not very hopeful about her father: “I hope.”
…
Night fell.
The Ronghua Palace was already full of seats, and some royal family and nobles in gorgeous clothes had already taken their seats, smiling and greeting people they knew well, waiting for the arrival of the emperor together.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and Emperor Yu seized the time to appear in Ronghua Palace.
He took the imperial concubine Yuan Gui to sit at the top, and Jiang Libai and Gu Yun who came with them also took their seats at the bottom.
The weather is very cold, and most of the dishes on the table are already cold.
But fortunately, before they came, they had already had dinner in Changchun Palace.
Just here to show my face.
Ignoring the strange eyes of other people underground, Gu Yun slowly poured a glass of milk for Jiang Libai and put it in her hand.
Jiang Libai took two sips silently with the gesture of a royal princess.
The way the two fit together fell into the eyes of others.
The third prince Jiang Heng raised his cup towards Jiang Libai and Gu Yunyao: “Jianing and the son-in-law really love each other, everyone is envious!”
Being called suddenly, Jiang Libai froze. She looked sideways and saw that it was Brother Sanhuang, so she also gave him face and took a sip of milk with the quilt.
The lukewarm attitude did not make the third prince feel cold and humiliated. He smiled heartily and raised his wine glass to the fifth princess beside him indifferently.
…
Most of the time keeping the year old is only until the child’s hour. If you can’t stand it anymore, you can rest in the arranged palace.
Concubine Yuan Gui thought that Jiang Libai was pregnant and she was extremely lethargic. Before she was born, she sent Jiang Libai and Gu Yun back to rest.
“… Qingyang Palace is cleaned every day, so the princess and consort can sleep in peace.” Ming Tao carried a lantern and illuminated the dim path for Jiang Libai and Gu Yun.
“It’s really sleepy.” Jiang Libai was hanging on Gu Yun’s body like a little lazy cat.
She yawned so gracefully that she couldn’t keep her eyes open.
Seeing that she was about to walk unsteadily, Gu Yun simply grabbed her waist and hugged her horizontally, “Go to sleep, I will carry you over.”
Jiang Libai was already in a daze, she leaned against Gu Yunnuan’s shoulder familiarly, and hummed: “Okay.”
Ming Tao walked in front, glanced at the back from the corner of the corner of the eye, then looked away.
It seems that the son-in-law really loves the princess.
Back to Qingyang Palace where Jiang Libai lived before she got married, Gu Yun carried her into the bedroom.
Chunxi lifted the gauze curtain, and Gu Yun gently put the sleeping Seventh Princess on the bed.
“Bring the hot water in later, and I’ll wash the princess.” Gu Yun unbuttoned Jiang Libai’s cape, and whispered to Chunxi.
After taking off Princess Seven’s outer skirt, Gu Yun pulled up the quilt and covered her tightly.
After a while, hot water came.
She carefully washed Jiang Libai’s face and hands, wiped her feet, and then covered her with the quilt again.
After tidying up, Gu Yun lay beside Jiang Libai.
After her body was very warm, she turned sideways, hugged Jiang Libai, and fell asleep together.
…
The new year is here.
Waking up early in the morning, Jiang Libai and Gu Yun had breakfast in the palace together with Concubine Yuan Gui, Emperor Yu and the Fifth Prince.
After listening to the warning for a long time, Gu Yun was dragged out of the palace by Jiang Libai.
As soon as she got into the carriage going back, Jiang Libai pursed her lips and laughed: “Father is not scary, why are you like a grandson in front of him, you just keep nodding and don’t even dare to say anything?”
Gu Yun replied solemnly: “Maybe this is the suppression from the old man.”
Hearing this, Jiang Libai blushed instantly.
“What old man…” She rubbed her fingers shyly, “You are not my husband.”
Gu Yun: “?”
At this point, the Seventh Princess doesn’t recognize the relationship between them again? !
Seeing Gu Yun’s brows slowly frowning, Jiang Libai leaned in front of her and said in a low voice: “You are a girl, you are my wife.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Libai lightly bit Gu Yun’s ear: “So my father is your father-in-law, do you know?”
Eunuch…?
Gu Yun’s eyes were complicated, and he felt a little heartbroken, and he didn’t even notice Jiang Libai’s teasing.
“Princess means, I married you? Didn’t you marry me?”
Jiang Libai stuck out her tongue and licked Gu Yun’s earlobe again, and said with a smile: “Otherwise? You live in my mansion, you eat in my mansion, and your name is also my son-in-law, so of course you marry Me!”
All right.
Gu Yun, who has been eating soft food all the time, doesn’t want to refute.
She hugged Jiang Libai into her arms, and kissed her on the corner of her mouth: “Yes, what the princess said is true, I married you. Please, princess, take pity on me in the future…”
Jiang Libai squinted her eyes, and before she could say anything else, she heard a commotion outside the carriage.
“Princess!” The wooden paddle with a serious face came to the side of the stopped carriage, “Princess, Yunyan from Uncle Anyang’s mansion…is dead.”
This sudden news made everyone at a loss.
“The people from the Ministry of Punishment have already gone. Master Li means that the son-in-law…”
Jiang Libai’s face turned cold, she gritted her teeth and said, “Now, go directly to Uncle Anyang’s Mansion!”
That villain in Uncle Anyang’s mansion is doing something tricky, and he can’t look down on a good person!
Yunyan’s death is strange, maybe they will use Yunyan’s death to attack Gu Yun again!
She won’t let them have it.
The wooden paddle jumped into the carriage, drove with the wooden boat, and drove in the direction of Uncle Anyang’s mansion.
About an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Uncle Anyang’s mansion.
The door was wide open at the moment, and we could still hear crying from inside from time to time.
Jiang Libai supported Gu Yun’s arm, got out of the carriage, and stepped directly into Uncle Anyang’s mansion with a dark face.
She directly grabbed a little maid who seemed to be guarding the gate, and after asking that all the people in the punishment department were in Yunyan’s courtyard at the moment, she ordered the little maid to take them there together.
Before entering Yunyan’s courtyard, there were already bursts of noise inside.
“…Everyone is already dead, what are you going to do?!” This was the voice of Anyang Bo Shizi Zhou Ran. “
Miss Yunyan’s death is strange, we must investigate clearly. “This is the voice of Li Zhongxian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments.
“No! You can’t take Cousin Yan’s body away! If you want to destroy the body and wipe out all traces, then there will be no evidence for the fact that the seventh son-in-law had an affair with others and even killed my own brother!”
Hearing this, Jiang Libai stretched out one foot and directly kicked open the gate of the yard.
“It’s really weird, knowing that the cause of your cousin’s death is unknown, but you still don’t let the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice find out, you have a ghost in your heart, right?!”
