Chapter 747 I Support You

Empress Dowager funeral!

The scene is grand and solemn!

The funeral took three days, of which two days were delayed in the imperial mausoleum.

Everyone turned on their backs, everyone looked haggard and tired, with a pair of dark circles on their faces, and red bloodshot eyes, which could not be concealed at all.

On the way back, Gu Jiu was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the carriage.

So tired so tired!

After a funeral, I feel my body has been hollowed out.

Gu Jiu slept all the way from the imperial mausoleum to the capital, and from the capital to Xiaozhu.

When I got off the carriage, I was in a daze.

I didn't have the strength to wash or eat, so I went straight to the bed and finally felt comfortable!

This time, Gu Jiu slept for a whole day and night.

Afterwards, she wondered how she could sleep so well.

It must be because I am too tired and haven't had a good sleep for a long time.

She took a hot bath and felt refreshed.

After filling his stomach and getting close to a few children, he had the chance to meet Liu Zhao.

Liu Zhao is busy!

Since the Queen Mother passed away, he slept less than two hours a day.

Gu Jiu asked him: "Did something happen when I fell asleep?"

Liu Zhao held Gu Jiu's hand, "The Jinwu Guard has discovered Su Wenzhi's whereabouts."

"Lu Shizhong moved so fast? How many days have you found Su Wenzhi's whereabouts?" Gu Jiu couldn't help but marvel.

Liu Zhao said: "The palace has Su Guifei's complete information, as well as the confession left over from that year. The Jinwu Guard followed suit, and it was easy to find Su Wenzhi."

"Has anyone caught it?"

"It's gone!"

"Su Wenzhi escaped?" Gu Jiu was surprised, "Wouldn't it be a waste of hard work."

Liu Zhao shook his head, "Of course it's not in vain, the Jin Wu Guards have already chased after him. As long as it's not an idiot,

Definitely catch her. "

"I hope so!"

Gu Jiu leaned against Liu Zhao's arms, lazily, "I'm getting lazy now."

"It's not that you're too lazy, it's because you're too weak."

Gu Jiu closed his eyes and rested his mind, "When I was in the imperial mausoleum, I already felt my body was hollowed out. After sleeping for a day and a night, I finally recovered a little energy."

Liu Zhao asked: "The weather is fine now, do you want to go for a walk?"

Gu Jiu closed her eyes and shook her head, "I don't want to move! I just want to lie down like this and feel very comfortable basking in the sun!"

After speaking, she stretched her body comfortably, trying to stretch as much as possible.

The sun shines through the trees and falls under the eaves.

The two sit together, like a painting, a freehand painting of life.

"If this moment is drawn, the background must be golden yellow, warm, like egg yolk."

"Obviously what I said earlier was so poetic, why did it turn into egg yolk later on. All poetic and artistic charm is gone."

Liu Zhao couldn't help complaining about Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu giggled, "I just thought of Brother Heng. I remembered that when he was young, he only ate egg yolks and not egg whites. Brother Yu ate all the egg whites."

"Boiled eggs, the whites are delicious. Fried eggs, the yolks are delicious." Liu Zhao said with special experience.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I think egg whites and egg yolks are both delicious."

"Then eat eggs tonight?" Liu Zhao asked her.

Gu Jiu shook his head, "I don't want to eat eggs, I want to drink soup, I want to drink duck soup, I have to boil it with sour radish. I miss the umami of duck soup very much."

"Then make duck soup. Is it okay to have dinner later?"

"It's ok."

The two cuddled together.

Brother Yu and Brother Heng got out of nowhere, covered in mud, they probably went to the mud pond and rolled around.

"Daddy, mother!"

"Don't come here, it's all dirty by you. Hurry up and wash it off. Where did you two stinky boys go?"

Liu Zhao disliked his two sons very much.

The two brats were taken down to wash by the servants.

Liu Zhao looked at the circles of muddy footprints on the floor, it was really an eyesore.

"It's a good thing we didn't rush over, otherwise both of us would be covered in mud by the brat."

Gu Jiu laughed, "Brother Yu and Brother Heng are at the age when people hate dogs, bear with it, and it will be fine in a few years."

Liu Zhao was very helpless, and he was happy in his helplessness, "When Brother Yu and Brother Heng grow up and be sensible, the two young ones will reach the age where people hate dogs. I really don't know when I will really relax."

"Dream! As a parent, don't think about having an easy day, and worry about it every day."

Gu Jiu shattered Liu Zhao's dream.

Liu Zhao snorted twice, "Don't let me fantasize about it."

"You can fantasize now."

There is no emotional fantasy at the moment.

The maid took clean water and wiped the floor.

The two brats washed up, changed their clothes, and transformed into well-behaved and sensible boys again.

Liu Zhao thought the two children were annoying, so he sent them to the study to do their homework.

No homework?

Then arrange homework temporarily.

Copying texts, writing articles, and practicing big characters, are you afraid that you won't find something to do? It's just a joke.

The two children drooped their heads, looking pitiful, Gu Jiu didn't feel sympathetic at all.

"Go and do your homework, and you can play after you're done."

When it comes to reading, Gu Jiu has always been very strict. As long as Liu Zhao's demands on the children are reasonable, she agrees.

Even if you don't agree, you will never hold back.

She will not let the two children think that they can rely on her soft heart to avoid homework.

There are no doors.

Brother Yu can only take Brother Heng to the study to do homework.

"When will you enter the palace?" Gu Jiu asked Liu Zhao, "The queen mother should have many things to discuss with you."

Liu Zhao's tone was cold, "There is nothing to discuss. The queen mother is gone, and the harem respects the queen mother. The ambition in her heart was ignited again, and she tried to do something. From the very beginning, I clearly opposed it. The father is still in his prime. Her plan was too early."

"Where is the Fourth Highness? Will he obey the Queen Mother's orders?"

"As long as he's not an idiot, he should know that it's best not to do anything now. The emperor's attitude is obvious. He refuses to confer titles on us, and he refuses to entrust us with the mansion. The brothers, with their wives, children, concubines, concubine sons and daughters , dozens of hundreds of people live under one roof, what else can we say.”

Liu Zhao sneered again and again, with dissatisfaction and sarcasm in his eyes.

There has never been a prince of any dynasty who has lived such a miserable life like their brothers.

Not to mention the prince, he doesn't even have an independent mansion.

The elders live in the palace, and the brothers live in the palace.

If you are young and unmarried, it makes sense.

Now that the brothers are getting married one after another, with sons and daughters, how can they live under the same roof?

With so many children, so many women's concubines, plus the servants who serve, how can a house be enough to live in.

Liu Zhao laughed at himself, "Fortunately, we only have four children, so we don't have to worry about not having enough housing."

Gu Jiu squeezed his hand, "Complaining can't change His Majesty's decision. We have to find a way to let His Majesty know everyone's difficulties. The princes are multiplying, and the children are growing more and more. They can no longer live under the same roof. Even if we don't give The prince bestows a title, and there should be a separate mansion."

Liu Zhao was full of resentment, "Everyone is looking forward to having a separate mansion. In these years, people have brought up this matter every year. As a result, the emperor pretended to be stupid every time, but refused to give us a mansion.

Don't need a title, just a mansion, it doesn't cost much. The Shaofu had so many houses on hand, and he could solve the problem by just taking out a few houses. But even so, the emperor was unwilling. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if our brothers are really biological. "

Gu Jiu teased him: "Don't let the queen mother hear this. If she finds out, she should scold you for being heartless. You have worked so hard to give birth to you and raise you, yet you suspect that you are not your own."

Liu Zhao smiled, and the smile was a bit bitter, "Sometimes I think about it, if it's not my own, it would save me a lot of trouble."

Gu Jiu said: "If you weren't your own, we wouldn't be able to sit here and bask in the sun now. That's enough, don't think about it. Compared with other princes, our life is simpler and happier now. We don't need to be crowded in the palace, and we don't have to deal with messy things. The children go to the academy every day to study and feel the most unrestrained and free cultural atmosphere.”

Liu Zhao forced a smile.

Gu Jiu didn't need to open his eyes to know what Liu Zhao was thinking.

She said to him: "Don't be reconciled, what you gain is what you lose. With the status of a prince, don't expect extravagant prince treatment for the time being. Your Majesty is stingy, and you know it."

"I was pitying myself."

Gu Jiu laughed, "Would you? I always thought you were a person without sympathy."

Liu Zhao said solemnly: "I have a lot of sympathy for myself."

Gu Jiu took his hand, "Instead of thinking about what you have, why don't you just buy a house in the capital and move the whole family in. In this way, you don't have to get up early every day, and you have to rush to the house before the city gate opens." Morning."

"It's not easy to live in the capital. You can't buy a house just below the imperial city." Liu Zhao looked depressed.

The dignified prince turned out to be a poor man.

Not to mention buying a house, he doesn't even have the money.

For so many years, he has been a moonlight clan.

The monthly salary, Juelu got it, and it was spent in a blink of an eye.

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s only after I do the math that I realize that there are so many places to spend money.

Gu Jiu laughed, "You just need to say whether to buy or not, and I will handle the specific matter of buying a house."

"Where do you plan to buy a house in the capital?"

Gu Jiu took it for granted, "It's closer to the palace, so it's easier to handle things."

"It means buying a house in the inner city?"

"Wouldn't you like to live closer to the palace?"

"I would like to, but I have no money, and I don't know where there is a suitable house to buy."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it. Have you forgotten what I do? Stupid, I'm a real estate developer who specializes in building and selling houses. Buying a house is easy. It's settled like that, I'll let you know when the house is bought."

Gu Jiu is rich and powerful, not short of money.

No matter how expensive the house is, the price is not a problem, the key is to have a good location and a spacious place.

Liu Zhao has the feeling of being a badass for eating soft food.

The point is that it feels good.

He was happy to be taken care of by Gu Jiu, who would arrange his daily life and solve the housing problem.

He laughed and asked jokingly, "Will you support me forever?"

The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth turned up, "Yes, I will support you!"

"Is our conversation reversed? Your Highness should support you."

"You can't afford to support me. Don't worry about your face, anyway, you have already lost face, so accept your fate and let me support you."

"Okay! Remember to support me forever."
