"Master, Prince Zhi is here to visit, and I have invited him to the flower hall." Dongfeng bowed and stood outside the door to report.

Gu Jingyun was slightly surprised, turned his head and glanced at the hourglass, visiting at this time?

"Understood, I'll go now." Gu Jingyun changed into a coat, turned around and closed the door, and ordered as he walked: "Go to the kitchen to make tea, and by the way, tell Aunt Sun to prepare breakfast, and send it to the main room in a while .”

Dongfeng responded in a low voice.

Prince Zhi was standing in the flower hall looking at the paintings hanging on the wall. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and saw Gu Jingyun and quickly turned around to salute, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Jingyun replied, "I have seen Prince Zhi."

Gu Jingyun asked him to sit down, "Is there something wrong with coming so early?"

Prince Zhi was embarrassed, "My mother asked me to do my filial piety by my husband's side on behalf of the emperor's brother."

Gu Jingyun paused, he is so old, how can his disciples be filial?

Prince Zhi also felt that his mother was messing around, but his father stood by her side, so he could only leave the palace.

Originally, he wanted to just stroll around the street until the time came and wandered around Gu's mansion to deal with it, but the queen mother sent out the servants around him to follow him. He swore that if he dared to be disobedient, he would not be able to leave the palace without visiting Gu's mansion. His mother can miss him to death.

Prince Zhi is very sad, so this is the inconvenience of living in the palace, and the queen mother can find him whenever she wants to find him.

It would be great if he could come out to open the mansion, unless the Queen Mother summoned him or he entered the palace to pay his respects, otherwise the two big mountains in the palace would definitely not be able to control him.

Gu Jingyun saw the aggrieved look on Prince Zhi's face, and didn't tell him that the reason why the Queen Mother asked him to stay with him was to let him have a blind date.

Dongfeng brought the tea and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to serve food here?"

Prince Zhi was even more ashamed when he heard this, he seemed to have come too early, and the Gu family hadn't had breakfast yet.

Gu Jingyun took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "Put it in the ear room, has Prince Zhi had breakfast, if it doesn't work, you can eat some with me."

"Yes, although I've had breakfast, I'm still a little hungry. You don't mind, sir, and the students will accompany you." Prince Zhi followed Gu Jingyun to the ear room, and whispered: "Sir, you should call me Min Er, and call me Miner." I am so weird to the prince."

Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing, "It's been such a long time, and you still haven't gotten used to this title?"

The prince bowed his head.

Gu Jingyun took a seat at the table, and said calmly: "You should get used to it earlier, I heard His Majesty said that he intends to let you go to the household department to practice, do you want the adults in the household department to call you Min'er?"

"How can they compare with Mr.? You have taught me for many years. Although we don't have the name of master and apprentice, we have the truth of master and apprentice." Prince Zhi pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, and begged in a low voice: "Sir, I Can I ask you one thing?"

Gu Jingyun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "I am a fourth-rank Hanlin, and you are a prince, what can I do for you?"

"But you are still the Grand Tutor. Brother Huang will think about everything you say." The Prince of Zhibaba looked at Gu Jingyun, and Gu Jingyun drank tea with downcast eyes.

Prince Zhi looked at him more and more pitifully, but Gu Jingyun was not moved, except for Baolu and An An, it was useless for anyone to look at him like this.

Prince Zhi really wanted to pull out the third younger brother and beat him up. Who said that Mr. Gu's heart has become soft and easy to speak since he had a daughter?

He still felt so hard-hearted.

Dongfeng and Nanfeng came up with breakfast, and Prince Zhi saw that Mr. Gu still had no intention of softening his promise, so he was discouraged and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want Mr. Gu to help me intercede. The experience was transferred to the Ministry of War. I, you know, my math has not been very good, and I have a headache about taxation, money and food, and taking care of these things is not only a waste of me, but also a waste of the time of the adults in the household department."

"In the Ministry of War, you also need to learn how to mobilize money and food. Don't forget, when marching and fighting, food and grass are often first. If you want to go to the Ministry of War, you must first learn the skills of the Ministry of Households." Gu Jingyun picked up his chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun, and said: "The Emperor There are only you two younger brothers, and there are few helpers, so naturally he will not put you in an inappropriate position."

Prince Zhi's eyes lit up, "You mean I will go to the Ministry of War eventually, I just go to the Ministry of Households to study first?"

"I didn't say anything." Gu Jingyun started to eat breakfast.

Prince Zhi almost jumped up, he watched Gu Jingyun foolishly for a long time, and finally picked up chopsticks to eat breakfast.

Letting go of the biggest worry, Prince Zhi's appetite was very good, and the steamed buns in the small bamboo basket were not enough to eat.

Gu Jingyun paused with his chopsticks, and asked, "Didn't you have breakfast in the palace?"

"Yeah, but my mother keeps nagging in my ears. I just want to get out of the palace as soon as possible. How can I have breakfast? Sir, the steamed buns at your house are so delicious, soft and firm, better than those made in the palace. fine."

Gu Jingyun saw that there were only two small steamed buns in the small bamboo basket, and each of the steamed buns in their house was only three fingers in size, so they were not edible at all.

Seeing that Prince Zhi wanted to stretch out his hand, he said in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager did not ask you to come here to fulfill your filial piety for Your Majesty."

"I know, you are not a few years older than me, and you have to wait at least forty years to be filial, so sir, what did the queen mother ask me to come to you?"

"Blind date!"

Prince Zhi slammed his hand, his appetite dropped instantly, he stopped eating, put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Why is there even a girl here to give me a blind date?"

Satisfied, Gu Jingyun picked up the steamed buns in the small bamboo basket, ate them slowly, and replied briefly: "She is my wife's student, but she is also a teacher of Qingxi Academy now."

"Huh, she teaches at Qingxi Academy?" Prince Zhi finally became interested.

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, "Yes."

He thought about Baolu's evaluation of her, and said, "Her history is very good."

Prince Zhi was thoughtful, "Does the Queen Mother know this?"

"nature."

Prince Zhi rolled his eyes, "Could it be possible that father and mother will allow her to continue teaching at Qingxi Academy after marrying me?"

"The queen mother said that it depends on the decision of your young couple, and she will not interfere."

Prince Zhi touched his chin and said lowly: "Then my princess is almost the same as my teacher's wife?"

Gu Jingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Prince Zhi shuddered, smiled at him and said: "Since it was ordered by the queen mother, then I will go and see you."

Seeing that the gentleman's face turned pale, Prince Zhi tried his best to swallow the words that came to his lips, and didn't dare to ask the girl if she knew martial arts.

When Li Baolu appeared with An An in his arms, the sun had already jumped out of Lao Gao, and a group of people came out of the alley to listen to the excitement of Sheng Street.

The celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival has not yet passed.

"Today, their class of classmates had a picnic gathering by Jinhai Lake, so we will also go to Jinhai Lake. I will just bring Zheng Dan over to meet Prince Zhi." Li Baolu poked Gu Jingyun and asked: "You and Prince Zhi Did you say we are going on a blind date this time?"

Gu Jingyun hugged An An to keep her from falling out of the car window, and nodded when he heard the words: "I said it."

"It's rare that he didn't run away." Li Baolu couldn't help muttering. Last year was the peak period for direct princes' blind dates. The queen mother summoned her wives every now and then, and asked people to bring girls of the right age into the palace to see each other.

But Prince Zhi didn't like any of them, and even repelled them very much. As long as there were girls entering the palace, he would try his best to run out of the palace.

This made the queen mother even more worried, thinking that her son seemed to be afraid of getting along with girls, and she was afraid that the child had been stimulated in some way when he fought with the first four princes in his early years.

Otherwise, why don't you think about getting married at this time.

Li Baolu thought that he would find a way to escape knowing that he was going on a blind date, but he honestly went to Jinhai Lake with them in a carriage.

Li Baolu glanced back through the car window, feeling a little regretful in her heart, if only he ran away.

Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand and stroked his wife's cheek, and said with a light smile: "After they see you, we will rent a boat to go swimming in the lake. There should be a lot fewer people on Jinhai Lake today, so it's not difficult to rent a boat."

There are indeed a lot fewer people by the Jinhai Lake. At first glance, it is no longer densely packed with boats and human heads, but the sparkling blue lake and occasionally a few light boats on the rippling lake.

There were also a lot fewer people on the grass by the lake, only groups of three or four gathered together, and at a glance, most of them were young people in their teens to twenties.

Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that everyone has gone to Huguo Temple."

Gu Jingyun nodded. It has almost become a common practice in the capital to come to Jinhai Lake on the day of Dragon Boat Festival and go to Huguo Temple to offer incense on the second day.

Prince Zhi also felt very comfortable, with the lake breeze blowing, he even wanted to lie down on the grass and close his eyes to sleep.

He glanced at the lake and asked in a low voice, "Sir, where is he?"

Gu Jingyun looked at Baolu.

Baolu squinted her eyes and looked around, and soon found Zheng Dan and the others, she said: "Let's go, let's find a place to rest first, I'll go see her."

All the students gathered there were students from the Yongmei class who had graduated. The queen mother mentioned it too late yesterday. She hadn't mentioned it to Zheng Dan yet, so I had to ask her first if she would like to see Prince Zhi.

If she doesn't want to talk about everything.

The students in Yongmei's class seldom get together after graduation, because some of them are already married, some are already engaged, and some are on the way to get engaged, so it is very inconvenient to meet each other.

They just took advantage of this festive season to get together, but even so, only twelve people could come.

Everyone looked at Zheng Dan, the only one who was not talking about marriage, and said enviously: "I didn't expect you to stay in the academy in the end."

Zheng Dan smiled lightly, "If you want to come, you can come. In terms of knowledge, you are not bad."

Everyone smiled wryly, they have the knowledge, but they don't have the guts.

"Mr. Li!" Seeing Li Baolu walking towards them, everyone quickly stood up and saluted, and said with smiles on their faces: "Today is really lucky, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Li here."

"I saw you from a long distance, so I came over to say hello."

Everyone surrounded Li Baolu and talked to each other about what was going on. Li Baolu talked with them for a while, and took the time to whisper to Zheng Dan, "Come with me later, I have something to tell you."

Zheng Dan nodded in response.
