Chapter 42
As the prince, his only request is to wait a few years before getting married.

The emperor looked at his bright black jewel-like eyes, handsome face, and soft expression, and his heart softened, and he sighed: "It's a few years later, it's not something to worry about. In another half a year, the crown prince will get married, and at that time, I will share the fief with you, and it will not be too late for you to go to the fief again."

"My son, thank the father for his grace."

After Gu Changyuan Xie En came out, Chen Hong followed closely.

"Your Highness, Mr. Gao Ge sent a letter, saying that he has notified the Ministry of Officials and recommended Zhang Xinzheng as Minister of the Household Department."

"I see."

Gu Changyuan's expression remained unchanged, and his steps were steady.

The close relationship between him and the chief minister of the cabinet, Takahashi, is a secret that few people know.

Three years ago, when he was out of the palace on errands, he accidentally rescued a child who had been kidnapped, and later learned that the child was the grandson of Shoufu Takahashi.

Since then, Gu Changyuan and Gao Shoufu have been in contact.

Of course, it's all secretly.

Although he has been very low-key and non-existent, Takahashi appreciates it very much.

He said, this is called keeping a low profile.

If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Before you have enough strength, don't be that early bird.

Prince Gu Yingxun has been flatteringly calling Takahashi an old man, trying to gain his support.

If he knew that Takahashi had already secretly turned to and supported the powerless sixth younger brother, and took advantage of his being excluded to push Zhang Xinzheng to be the Minister of the Household Department, he would have passed away in anger on the spot.

As for Zhang Xinzheng, it was a coincidence that five or six years ago, he was the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince's bachelor's attendant, and he belonged to their serious master.

It's just that the sixth prince's performance is too low-key, he usually appears as the prince's follower, and rarely interacts with Zhang Xinzheng on the surface, most people would never associate it with that.

In the boundless dark night, a lore net belonging to Gu Changyuan is weaving silently.

On the other hand, the eunuch Chen Hong thought he understood his master's mind, and went out of the palace from time to time to find medicinal materials, miracle doctors and the like.

Unexpectedly, every two days, he ran back and said to Gu Changyuan, "Li Hou sent his daughter away!"

Gu Changyuan was writing an article, when he heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Where are you sending it?"

"It is said to be sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate."

"Oh."

"But don't worry, Your Highness, it shouldn't be far away, and the servant is looking for you."

"Chen Hong, are you free?" His Highness the Sixth Prince looked at Grand Eunuch Chen coldly.

Chen Hong hurriedly bowed his head: "The slave knows his mistake."

"Is an eunuch ashamed to inquire about the whereabouts of his daughter's all day long?" Gu Changyuan threw a letter to him, "Take it to Master Zhang."

"The slave will go when it gets dark."

How can the prince openly make friends with important officials of the court.

It is natural to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Chen Hong stuffed the letter into his bosom and put it away, bowed his head and stood there for a while, then said cautiously: "Your Highness, there is one more thing."

"Say."

"That Hong'er girl... came here two days ago, but His Highness wasn't here, so the servant let her go back."

"understood."

"Does Your Highness still want her to serve?"

"No."

Thinking of the maid in charge of the bedchamber, Gu Chang Yuan felt restless.

Chen Hong cautiously asked: "Since Hong'er doesn't like His Highness, why don't you...slave send her away?"

The so-called bedroom maids are just tools for tasks, and most of the princes will not really want them.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Chen Hong felt that this Hong'er was ordinary in every color, ordinary in appearance, and had an unpleasant temper. It was normal for His Highness not to like her, so he went to find Hong'er in private, and wanted to ask her about her future.

Who knows, but caught a traitor on the spot.
