General's humble stand-in

——For example, when I arrived in Shengjing at the beginning of that year, it was also such a cold and bleak winter.It's just that things are changing and people are changing.

Getting off the sedan chair in front of Chengde Gate, Tao Zhuo didn't rush into the palace, but stopped to look at the surrounding red walls and green tiles.

As if seeing that timid figure, he put his hands to his lips and breathed hot air, and stood anxiously outside the palace wall waiting for his beloved general.

At that time, Tao Zhuo simply wanted to stay by the general's side, and never dreamed that he would come to where he is today.

"Young Master Ning." Gu Yan's deep voice interrupted Tao Zhuo's memories, "Please follow me."

Gu Yan leads the way, and Tao Zhuo follows closely behind.Gu Yan doesn't seem to have changed much in the past few years, his back is still tall and straight, handsome and exuding a heroic spirit.Intimidating, but also heart-warming.

The majestic Tianen Temple is located in the middle, and the golden tiles reflect the brilliance in the sunlight.The four corners of Fang Zhan are carved with lifelike flying dragons, which are the symbols of the royal family.

Picking up the white jade steps and going up step by step, Gu Yan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, but soon stepped up the stone steps as if nothing had happened, only dodging to one side.

When he got outside the main hall, Tao Zhuo realized why Gu Yan had to walk aside. It turned out that there was a person kneeling outside the hall, but his thin figure stood motionless in the cold wind.

Tao Zhuo didn't dare to look casually, and followed Gu Yan into the Tianen Temple.

The emperor of Jing Kingdom was also getting old, and he had to cough for a while after speaking a few words.

Talked to Tao Zhuo about some occasions, and arranged for him an idle mansion outside the palace as a residence, and sent countless servants, who said they were waiting but intended to monitor.

Tao Zhuo responded one by one, and knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness.

After finally getting to Sanchao, Tao Zhuo followed all the officials out of Tianen Hall.

Facing each other like this, Tao Zhuo saw clearly that the person kneeling outside the hall was actually the third prince Xiao Mu.

I haven't seen him for three years, but he has grown a lot, and his face has faded from the youthfulness of the past, and he is becoming more and more handsome.

Apparently Xiao Mu also recognized Tao Zhuo, his black pupils showed astonishment.It's just that the two people who were so crowded couldn't talk, Tao Zhuo gave him a faint smile, and walked around him.

After leaving the palace gate, he saw Gu Yan standing under the red wall as if waiting, Tao Zhuo hesitated a little, but finally walked over.

"General Gu, is there anything else?"

Tao Zhuo's birth makes Gu Yan always feel as if his heart is blocked by something, which is very uncomfortable.

"I'll take you to the mansion bestowed by the emperor."

It's been several months since Zizhi was seen in the Yu Kingdom. Gu Yan wanted to go back to the General's Mansion sooner, but for some reason, her footsteps always stopped and she wanted to wait for Tao Zhuo.

"No need." Tao Zhuo refused lightly, pointing to the servants given to him behind him, "They should be able to find it."

Coincidentally, the coachman brought the carriage over, and Tao Zhuo got into the carriage without looking back, without the slightest attachment to Gu Yan.

The new mansion is very big, and the front and back courtyards are enough for half an hour to stroll around, but Tao Zhuo seems to be deserted living alone.

Ordering people to clean out all the houses and courtyards, Tao Zhuo took his rabbit cage and lived in Fuxi Pavilion, the main room of the mansion.

He kept his mind on it, the ones he had brought from Yu Kingdom were still the ones who stayed by his side to serve, and the rest were ordered to do some rough work outside.

When the charcoal fire in the furnace was strong and the room was warm, Zi Yan took off the cloak for Tao Zhuo, and asked softly, "Is His Royal Highness Ning Wang hungry? This servant will go get some food."

"If you can't eat, go and clean the bed. I'm really tired from running around these days. I want to rest for a while."

"Yes."

I don't know if it's because the room is getting warmer, Tao Zhuo looked at Zi Yan's cheeks showing a faint pink.

Tao Zhuo was really tired, and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.In the dream, it seemed that something soft touched her lips, and Tao Zhuo moaned, retracting herself into the quilt.

This sleep lasted until noon on the second day, just as Tao Zhuo sat up, Zi Yan hurried forward.

"Your Highness is awake. A guest has come to the mansion, and he has been waiting for a long time."

When changing clothes for Tao Zhuo, Zi Yan's fingertips would always slide across Tao Zhuo's body intentionally or unintentionally, with the intention of teasing.

"I'll do it myself, you go and make the bed."

It's not surprising that this girl has a heart of clinging, after all, she came from Yu country, and she always thinks that she is closer to her master, and naturally she will not be so peaceful when her heart is high.

Tao Zhuoruo feared that she would not take it seriously if she said it lightly, and feared that she would feel jealous if she said it too seriously, so she simply ignored it first.

The sun is good today, but just as soon as he stepped out of Fuxi Pavilion, the cold wind still got into his collar mercilessly.Tao Zhuo covered her lips and coughed a few times, then walked quickly towards Bi Luoxuan who was waiting for guests.

She vaguely guessed who the visitor was, so when she saw Xiao Mu sitting at the table drinking tea, Tao Zhuo didn't show any surprise.

Like old friends reunited after a long absence, neither of the two deliberately stood up and saluted.Tao Zhuo sat down beside Xiao Mu and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Should I call you Mr. Ning, or should I still call you Tao Zhuo?"

Tao Zhuo smiled, "Third Highness, if you feel that you are the son of Ning, if you still remember the friendship of sharing steamed buns, then you are Tao Zhuo."

Xiao Mu also smiled, "Fortunately, I miss the past."

Regarding the change of Tao Zhuo's identity, Xiao Mu didn't follow up and ask carefully, Tao Zhuo just said it casually, and Xiao Mu just listened to it.

"Tell me about you." Tao Zhuo put down the sapphire teacup, "Why did you get punished yesterday?"

Shaking the floating tea tip in the cup, Xiao Mu thought about it seriously, "It's probably because the emperor doesn't like it."

This topic is a bit heavy, and Tao Zhuo doesn't know how to comfort him for a while.

On the contrary, Xiao Mu laughed at himself, "You're hypocritical, I'm not a child anymore, whether I like it or not doesn't matter to me."

Maybe time can't change everything, just like Xiao Mu in front of him, showing loneliness and loss like the boy he met for the first time in Yeyou Palace.

The two chatted for a while, before leaving, Xiao Mu invited Tao Zhuo to meet at Linfeng Building at night, which was regarded as a cleansing for him.

When going out, Tao Zhuo wore a red cloak, standing in front of the bronze mirror, Tao Zhuo seemed to see himself in Feng Ming Xuan in a daze.Raising the corners of her lips, Tao Zhuo tried to show a charming smile, and Zi Yan who was behind her was stunned from ear to ear in amazement by her alluring manner.

Linfenglou is the busiest and bustling restaurant in Shengjing, where the children of wealthy families drink and have fun, and literati write poems and inscriptions here.

When Tao Zhuo walked into the restaurant, the bright red cloak against his fair and petite face immediately attracted attention.Some people whispered in private, thinking that Tao Zhuo was like the male prostitute who was very popular in Shengjing three years ago.

Xiao Mu had already been waiting here, and brought another person, Xu Tianlei.

Because Xu Tianlei escorted Taozhuo to Jingguo all the way, Taozhuo kept a cold face and didn't talk to anyone, which made Xu Tianlei feel a little uncomfortable.He is also a person who attaches great importance to friendship, and he always feels alienated inexplicably.

It happened that in the afternoon Xu Tianlei went to the palace to look for Xiao Mu, and when he heard about this, he came with him.

After meeting Xu Tianlei, he didn't know what to say. After getting up, he bowed his hands in embarrassment, "Mr. Ning."

Tao Zhuo tilted his head and looked at Xu Tianlei, with a smile on his lips, "Can Master Xu's heirloom blood jade be redeemed?"

Xu Tianlei was startled when he was asked, and then he laughed, "It's true that which pot can't be opened and which pot to carry. That woman Hongzhao regards money as her life, and now she has to pay me 8000 taels with interest. It's a waste of money, if It's not that it has the word "heirloom", and no one will pick it up when it is thrown on the ground."

The atmosphere eased up immediately, and they were no longer restrained, drinking and talking.

Tao Zhuo doesn't have much alcohol tolerance, but fortunately Xu Tianlei and Xiao Mu didn't force him, and followed him to sip small sips.But after drinking one cup, Tao Zhuo felt a little dizzy.

"Tianlei." Tao Zhuo put down his wine glass, his cheeks were already slightly red, and he asked with guilt in his eyes, "Is Xiaobao okay? I've always wanted to ask you about his condition, but you always cared about him along the way." With the generals together, I have no chance."

"No wonder you always keep a cold face and don't speak. It's because of Gu Yan. I said why you don't want to talk to me all of a sudden." After talking about a bunch of discoveries, Xu Tianlei hurriedly replied, "Xiaobao is fine now , live in the general's mansion, and Gu Yan will personally take care of him and teach him."

Tao Zhuo slapped the table, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, blowing up its hair, "Why should he adopt my son, what is he, Gu Chan?"

Seeing surprised looks from all around, Xiao Mu quickly explained, "Drunk, drunk, don't take it for granted."

Xu Tianlei hastily leaned over and hugged Tao Zhuo under his arms, "Ancestor, keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard."

"Just listen." Tao Zhuo pushed and fucked Xu Tianlei, "I'm still afraid that he will listen, but he still teaches my son to become a cold-blooded and heartless little bastard?"

"Yes yes yes, you are right, Gu Yan is cold-blooded and ruthless, Gu Yan is not a thing." Xu Tianlei repeatedly comforted, "Stop shouting, you have a special status now, be careful of getting into trouble."

One cup can be like this, Xiao Mu who was sitting opposite smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Tao Zhuo chuckled, broke away from Xu Tianlei's arms, leaned on the table and approached Xiao Mu, and said to him in a low voice, "Did you hear that? Tianlei scolded General Gu for nothing. Catch him If he dares to be disobedient, he will tell General Gu about it in the future."

Xiao Mu suppressed his smile and pointed to Xu Tianlei who was behind Tao Zhuo, "He heard it all, be careful that he kills you."

Tao Zhuo hurriedly turned his head to look at Xu Tianlei, and asked delicately, "Did you hear that?"

Xu Tianlei sighed, "I didn't hear it, I'm deaf."

"Then say it again."

"What?" Xu Tianlei was curious.

"It's not a thing to talk about Gu Yan."

"Yeah." Xu Tianlei said helplessly, "Gu Yan is not a thing."

Tao Zhuo couldn't help laughing, turned his head and said to Xiao Mu, "He scolded again, please write it down."

This time Xiao Mu couldn't help laughing, looking at Xu Tianlei who was full of depression, "He is really drunk, you are so stupid."

Lying on the table, Tao Zhuo rested his small head on his arm, still sipping the wine in his glass.

Suddenly, a crisp voice was heard, "Daddy."

Before Tao Zhuo could react, a small meat dumpling had already thrown into his arms.

Instantly sobered up, Tao Zhuo rubbed Xiao Bao's cheek in surprise and joy, "Xiao Bao? Why are you here? I'm not dazzled."

"I was praised by my husband for my endorsement today, and my father brought me here to eat delicious food."

Following Xiaobao's fingers, he saw Gu Yan and Mo Zizhi standing not far away.
