Chapter Thirty-One

"I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince." After Chai Qingyue entered, she saluted Murong Sichen first, and squatted down and waited for Murong Sichen to call herself up.

Murong Sichen walked to the desk, took the initiative to help Chai Qingyue up, and said gently, "Get up." He took the initiative to pull Chai Qingyue's hand and walked to Gu Ge Lao.

Gu Xingzhi quickly stood up and saluted Chai Qingyue: "The old minister Gu Xingzhi has met the Crown Princess."

"What is Uncle Gu saying?" Chai Qingyue went to help Gu Xingzhi, "How can I ask Uncle Gu to salute me a junior? This is absolutely impossible."

"Make the entrusted." Gu Xingzhi quickly refused, "Qingyue is now the crown princess, and the etiquette of the king and the ministers must be kept. How could there be no etiquette or law?"

When Chai Qingyue saw Gu Xingzhi like this, she suddenly thought of her parents' reaction that day. This was also the same, which made people feel helpless. Suddenly, she felt a little upset and Chai Qingyue began to remain silent.

Murong Sichen noticed that Chai Qingyue was a little depressed, but for no reason, he had to let Chai Qingyue sit on the soft collapse opposite Gu Xingzhi, and he also sat down. He Ming came in and served Chai Qingyue a cup of hot tea, and then brought Gu Xingzhi and his already warm tea to change. He Ming was instructed to add some charcoal and add fresh fruits and refreshments before he started chatting with Gu Xingzhi and Chai Qingyue.

"Qingyue, I don't know that my father-in-law and Gu Ge are always close friends." Murong Sichen's tone sounded like blame, but it was a bit of a spoiled voice.

Murong Sichen was shocked by this kind of behavior. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been steady in his actions. Why do he look like a child who has not grown up in front of his little niece?

Gu Xingzhi coughed lightly before speaking, "This is not the old minister."

Murong Sichen naturally could not continue Gu Xingzhi's words and said that Gu Xingzhi was not doing well. He called the teacher in Shangwen Private School in Beijing and did not have the obligation to report to him as the prince.

Murong Sichen smiled and took over: "Ge Lao Gu was joking, I am just kidding with Qing Yue."

Chai Qingyue also smiled shyly, still silent.

After thinking for a while, Murong Sichen asked and said, "But, I am still very curious. How could Mr. Gu know and associate with my father-in-law in the palace?"

It’s not a big mistake for Murong Sichen to be suspicious, mainly because Gu Xingzhi and Chai Qing don’t look like two people in contact. Moreover, Gu Xingzhi is already seventy years old this year, and Chai Qing is only in his early forties, with nearly half a lifetime of age difference. Chai Qing can be considered a son for Gu Xingzhi, so how could he take over his confidant?

Murong Sichen really couldn't figure it out, and Chai Qingyue also called Gu Xingzhi "Uncle Gu" instead of "Grandpa Gu", which means that Chai Qing and Gu Xingzhi are peers.

This is really rare.

As if seeing the doubts in Murong Sichen's heart, Gu Xingzhi explained: "When Chai Qing was young, she wanted to become a disciple, but the old minister was quite frivolous at that time, so he played Chai Qing for a while. Chai Qing didn't want to become a disciple anymore, and I didn't want to accept disciples, so later we became friends of age."

Gu Xingzhi's explanation made Murong Sichen understand the whole story of this friendship roughly. He nodded in a clear way, but Chai Qingyue, who was beside him, burst out laughing out loud.

"Why didn't Uncle Gu tell the Crown Prince, how did you make things difficult for your father back then?" Chai Qingyue's mouth always had a smile on her face, looking at Gu Xingzhi with a smile.

Murong Sichen was confused and couldn't touch his thoughts. He also smiled at Gu Xingzhi as he imitated Chai Qingyue.

Gu Xingzhi touched his beard calmly and laughed dryly: "It's all an embarrassing thing from the past, why? Does the little niece like to turn over Uncle Gu's old accounts so much?"

"How dare Qingyue?" Chai Qingyue also smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

But Murong Sichen, who was standing beside him, was forced to get stuck between the two of them, and felt that he couldn't get in after he finished speaking, so he had to smile and look at the two of them to hide his embarrassment.

Seeing that Murong Sichen was sitting opposite him, Gu Xingzhi said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince seems to be quite interested in the past, so it is better to listen to the old minister slowly."

Murong Sichen, who was already curious, smiled concealedly, but said, "Okay, we have discussed the spring exam almost all, so why not listen to the past and relieve boredom."

So Murong Sichen, Gu Xingzhi and Chai Qingyue chatted about family matters in Murong Sichen's study for the afternoon, but Xiaoyu, who was waiting outside, was waiting in the side room and gritted her teeth.

Chai Qingyue was talking about matters with important officials in the court, and Chai Qingyue entered the study room. Chai Qingyue was still in the study room for the whole afternoon.

After this incident spread, Chai Qingyue's status in the Crown Prince's Mansion was established. After all, Murong Sichen had already accused Chai Qingyue of being able to meet foreign ministers in his study, so he did not shy away.

"Uncle Gu is really not old at all, he is still so handsome." Chai Qingyue exclaimed to Gu Xingzhi.

Gu Xingzhi is 73 years old this year. Today he came to the Prince's Mansion to discuss things with Murong Sichen. He did not wear court clothes, but just wore a black long gown that Gu Xingzhi always liked. He tied his hair with a conical bun and fixed it with a peach wood hairpin. His beard was well-tended, which made him feel like a fairy-like style.

"The little niece was joking." Gu Xingzhi laughed naturally. Later, he realized that he was in Murong Sichen's study. His beard was a little presumptuous. He hurriedly put away his laughter. After laughing dryly, he said: "Uncle Gu is old, and only has some energy left. What kind of charm is there?"

After hearing so many past stories, Murong Sichen was able to talk, and this time he took the initiative to take the topic: "Where is Mr. Gu's charm still the same."

Murong Sichen's praise is sincere. Gu Xingzhi pays attention to health preservation and pays great attention to his own body. He looks down on him and doesn't look like the seventies and eighties at all. This is why Murong Yuan has always refused to let Gu Xingzhi return home.

Hearing the sincerity in Murong Sichen's words, Gu Xingzhi smiled without hesitation: "Your Highness the Crown Prince praises you."

Although he was polite, Gu Xingzhi's attitude obviously eased a lot, and he also ate the fruit on the table without hesitation.
