The redundant Amber picked up the same redundant cat and retreated silently.

Only Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen were left in the study.

Gu Jue was busy for several days and finally made the silk strings. Today he was re-stringing the broken guzheng.

He deliberately wore a deerskin glove on his left hand to prevent his fingers from being scratched while pulling the strings.

Chu Qianchen's eyes happily turned on Gu Jue's left hand wearing deerskin gloves.

This glove was made by Chu Qianchen himself. It is thinner and softer than the conventional deerskin gloves. The shape of the deerskin gloves is more suitable for his slender fingers.

Gu Jue is now tuning the newly-produced string. His right hand seems to be plucking the string casually. When he plucks the string, his fingers draw a beautiful curve, which is both casual and elegant.

Flashes of intermittent string sounded from time to time.

Chu Qianchen looked at Gu Jue's tweaking strings, with his lips curled, and one hand lazily supported his cheeks, and casually said some trivial matters at home: "This winter is too cold. There is an old man at the Sui Dynasty's office. I have someone send some more charcoal fires."

"In the past few days, many people in the mansion have been infected with cold wind. I have prepared a medicinal tea for everyone to drink a cup every day. Prince, you have to drink it too."

"The eldest son of Mr. Chen is almost seven years old this year. I asked the Director of Sui to ask if he wanted to learn literature or martial arts. I thought that no matter which one he was, he would have to go to a private school for a few years."

The guards of the royal palace all retreated from the Northern Army. They worked in the royal palace, so Chu Qianchen naturally hoped that they would have a sense of belonging to the royal palace.

"The New Year is coming soon. Some guards in the mansion cannot return to their hometown, so they simply brought their parents to the capital. They should arrive in a few days. The guards usually live in downtown rooms. I thought it was not convenient for the elderly to live there, so I discussed with the head of Sui and cleaned up the house in Shizhang Hutong for them to live."

The house in Shizhang Hutong was actually for the family to have children, but the royal palace was not crowded, so Shizhang Hutong was basically empty and no one lived there.

Chu Qianchen was completely thinking about what he said, all of them were chores in the mansion, and his smile was bright.

Gu Jue was not bored at all, and a soft smile rippled in his eyes.

The palace was full of big men. No one noticed these subtle trivial matters before, until Chu Qianchen took over the gifts from the palace.

Gu Jue could clearly feel that the Chen Prince's Mansion was changing little by little, like a long flow of water, leaving him without any worries.

In fact, Gu Jue also knew that Chu Qianchen was the most impatient with these trivial matters.

His little girl did this just for him.

Gu Jue took off the deerskin gloves on his left hand and waved to her.

Chu Qianchen thought he was going to teach her to play the guzheng again, so he happily came over. Unexpectedly, he hugged her slender waist and let her lean against his chest.

Gu Jue gently kissed her soft hair, and then kissed her fair and smooth forehead.

Chu Qianchen obediently let him kiss, not as stiff as when he first kissed her forehead. He leaned on him relaxedly, like a coquettish cat, rubbing one cheek against Gu Jue's chest.

Gu Jue smiled happily, glanced at him, hugging his little girl tighter.

He kissed her small ear again and whispered in her ear: "We Qianchen are so careful and capable!"

As he spoke, his warm breath blew on her ears, and she felt her ears itchy and moved.

Chu Qianchen listened to his strong and powerful heartbeat, and his heart seemed to be soaked in a honey jar, sweet, with gentle eyebrows and water, and slightly slight cheeks.

At this moment, the curtain was knocked up again, and Amber came in again. The scene that came into her eyes made her froze and she didn't know where to put her eyes.

“Meow?”

The little black cat also came in and screamed in confusion, wondering why Amber stopped moving.

Amber lowered his eyes and said slightly crampedly: "Prince, Prince, Princess, Prince Li is here."

"..." Chu Qianchen raised his head from Gu Jue's arms, as if he had been invaded by someone's territory.

It's so annoying! Chu Qianchen frowned and pursed his little mouth tightly.

Prince Li is Zong Ling and the uncle of the emperor and Gu Jue.

He has always had a good temper and respectful spirit, and is very helpful to the orphans and widows in the royal family. For example, Prince Qing was taken away for his title because he killed Yong'anbo's son and was exiled for three thousand miles, leaving only his wife Wang and an only daughter, and life was difficult. Over the years, Prince Li has taken care of their mother and daughter.

There are countless similar things, and they have a good reputation among the royal family. It is precisely because of this that the late emperor chose him as the clan order.

Gu Jue also respected the third uncle quite well and said lightly: "Please invite someone in."

Amber almost couldn't wait to turn around and exit the study room again.

This time, Amber left the cat behind.

So the kitten ran happily towards his master.

When Prince Li came to the outer study with Amber, Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen had already sat down. The little black cat squatted obediently on Chu Qianchen's knees and let her rub her hair.

The couple gave the gift to Prince Li one after another, "Uncle the Emperor."

Prince Li didn't expect that Chu Qianchen was there too. He glanced at her slightly, and after greeting the couple, Prince Li went down on the left side of a red sandalwood ring chair.

Amber put the three of them in a hot big red robe.

Prince Li took a sip of hot tea first, then asked Gu Jue straight to the point and said, "A Jue, do you know about Gu Jincijue?"

"I know." Gu Jue nodded.

These two words are equivalent to opening up Prince Li’s words.

Prince Li said frantically: "That boy Gu Jin, who is still so impulsive when he is old and is almost thirty years old!"

"This kid has been eccentric since he was a child. I never thought that when he grew up, he would become sensible when he got married and started a career, and had children. Unexpectedly, he still looked the same as when he was a child. When he was ten years old, he bet with a group of people to go to the big winter to jump to the ice lake. Now he says he will beg for the judging."

Thinking of these past events, Prince Li was also moved, and then raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

These days, Prince Li was so upset by this incident that he said, "It's not a day since the ice is frozen. Prince Jing is really so frightened. How could he be so partial! It's also my fault for not staring at him... I've been wronged over the years."

Prince Li sighed with a wry smile, his head hurting even more.

Gu Jue listened with a smile while drinking tea, his posture was so elegant.

Chu Qianchen casually touched the cat on his knee, touching the little black cat's throat, making a "snoring" sound, and the cat's eyes narrowed into two thin slits.

Prince Li also took a sip of Dahongpao, moistened his throat, and then he really started to get to the point: "Now Gu Jin said he wanted to split up."

Prince Li was about to sigh.

There is an old saying that parents are there and there is no family separation.

After all, Prince Jing is still alive, and his stepmother is also a mother.

Now the separation of the family is like telling outsiders that the prince’s house is uneasy. This is an ugly thing.

Usually, for the sake of the reputation of the royal family, one must be dissuaded as a clan order. Therefore, in the history of Daqi, there are only a few things about early division of family members.

However, Prince Li has also carefully considered it over the past few days. In addition, he personally went to Prince Jing’s Mansion to meet Concubine Yang that day. After seeing Concubine Yang’s character, he also felt that Gu Jin and his wife had suffered in the past few years.

Gu Jin was forced to even want the title of Prince. It is conceivable that he really doesn't want to stay in this Prince's Mansion.

This family has become enemies, so it is better to separate the family. You can't really make both sides live to the death.

Prince Li's face was solemn, and then he expressed his purpose today: "I came today to invite you to go to Prince Jing's Mansion with you that day to testify."

Of course, it is impossible to separate the family secretly in private, as the rules and etiquette of the family are the rules and etiquette of the family.

As a clan order, Prince Li will preside over the division of the family. In addition, several noble and respected royal princes from noble families were present to witness. Gu Jue was the legitimate son of the late emperor, and he made extraordinary achievements for the Great Qi Dynasty and was granted the title of Prince Chen. He must be the most noble son of the Gu family besides the emperor.

Prince Li also knew that Gu Jue had never left the palace since the winter hunting. He was afraid that he would not go, so he racked his brains to persuade him:

"Ajue, I see, after you returned to Beijing from the north, you are always stuck in your mansion. You are only in your twenties, and you should not live a more boring life than me, the old man. You always have to walk around, relax and breathe."

"The Prince Jing County Mansion is also a relative of his own, and these relatives should also walk around from time to time."

"If you agree, I will give you a new treasure knife I got a few days ago. This is a rare Persian treasure knife, which will break hair and cut iron like mud."

"Don't you like to engrave and print? I have a few bloodstones in my place that I have been reluctant to move for many years, and I'll give it to you..."

Prince Li initially persuaded him, but later he began to seduce him, and even took out his precious bloodstone with heartache.

Chu Qianchen chuckled lightly when he heard this, his laughter was like a crisp silver bell, and her cat also "meowed" appropriately.

The sounds of the girl and the cat made the dull atmosphere in the study warm and lively.

Chu Qianchen's eyebrows and eyes were as curvaceous as the crescent moon, and he heard a bit of familiarity from Prince Li's last two sentences.

Well, she thought that when Prince Li was young, Prince Li might have been obedient like this.

When Gu Jue was young, she didn't have time to participate, so whenever she heard Empress Dowager Yin and Prince Li and other elders talk about these interesting things, she felt that it was particularly interesting, as if she had learned about Gu Jue from another perspective.

Thinking of it, Chu Qianchen's smile became three points deeper, as if he was holding honey, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be about to overflow, and even his hands touching the cat became gentler.

Gu Jue glanced at Chu Qianchen, his eyebrows and eyes softened, and he simply nodded and responded: "Okay."

"A Jue..." Prince Li wanted to persuade him again, but after two beats he could react, Gu Jue agreed.

Prince Li also looked at Chu Qianchen, and inexplicably felt that Gu Jue would agree so happily seemed to have something to do with his wife.

The harmony of husband and wife is the prosperity of the family!

Prince Li thought with relief and turned the subject: "Then we will make up for it."

"When the day of separation is settled, I will send someone to tell you. That day, you will bring your wife with you. If you can, please help me."

Prince Li’s last sentence was very meaningful, and he would like to remind Gu Jue to help Gu Jin at that time.

Gu Jin had no longer even given up his title of Prince, which was equivalent to giving up his biggest property. He was wronged and gave in to this. The uncles and brothers could no longer let Concubine Yang do whatever he wanted, and the Gu family would not be able to do it at will at will by a woman.

After talking about the main business, Prince Li stopped staying for a long time and said goodbye: "I have to go to a few more families, so I won't bother you today. You two come to my mansion to have fun someday."
