C102 The Princess of Wangfu Stone!
Lan Qingqing nodded happily, and San Qi followed her. She was more carefree because San Qi could not control her. However, the old prince was different. He would do whatever he said. If she did not listen to him, she would be beaten up.
Once Gu Jun’an entered the tent, all the generals and deputy generals left. Li Du climbed up from far away and opened the tent. All eyes were on him.
Gu Jun’an looked at the teacup in front of him and poured tea into the teacup. “How much tea can this teacup hold? It depends on the person who holds the teacup. This is not the first time I have come to the border. All of you have been there for a long time. You should know what I am like. If you don’t want to talk about something, you better remember it clearly. If there is a next time…”
The teacup broke into pieces. Gu Jun’an sneered. “I can change a new set of cups!”
He was reminding the others not to meddle in other people’s business. If they did, he would not be polite.
Before he came, all the generals had prepared some words. However, when he took them out, no one wanted to be the first one to break the teacup.
San Qi took out a set of green jade teapots from behind and poured the tea. Gu Jun’an held the teacup. “How is the letter sent by Canglan?”
“Your Highness, there are about eleven letters. Most of them are just some early preparation work. There is nothing special.” Su Changsheng was in charge of this. He handed over the letters in the box.
Gu Jun’an took it and opened it one by one, “Did you tell me who the commander-in-chief is?”
“The commander-in-chief was the previous general. I don’t know if he has changed recently.”
Gu Jun’an thought of the stiff and tall figure, “He Dongzhi!”
Lan Qingqian came back with sweat all over her head. She smelled the fragrance of the meat from afar and couldn’t help but quicken her pace.
“Wow, the meat today is so fragrant!” She sat on the stool without saying anything and looked at the soup bowl in front of her.
“Did you bring the small bowl for me to eat?” Lan Qingqian was happy.
The corners of her mouth twitched, “This is called a small bowl! It is bigger than my head!”
She couldn’t help but worry. She was only five or six years old, yet she could eat so much. If she grew up, the Imperial Residence would be so poor that she wouldn’t even be able to get her monthly salary.
San Qi was already thinking about whether he should change his job!
Gu Jun’an picked up two large pieces of the meat from her bowl, “I heard that there is a person called He Dongzhi in Canglan.”
Lan Qingqian stared at the meat and swallowed her saliva, “You mean the big guy? He seems to have this name.”
“You know him?” He picked up another piece from her bowl.
Lan Qingqian’s eyes were glittering, and her eyes were full of meat.
“That’s right. He came back every time to look for my father or my brother! My father said that he is big and strong. He is very good at fighting.”
Gu Jun’an’s chopsticks stopped in front of the bowl, as if she didn’t want to eat the meat.
“Can you recognize the words he wrote?” Gu Jun’an asked calmly.
Lan Qingqian shook her head. “What does it have to do with me? Why do I remember it! I remember that he was tall and big, like a giant. He was very strong. My father said that I would be like him when I grew up.”
Gu Jun’an couldn’t help but think of the big guy’s cute baby face on his head.
The devil’s body and the cute face?
After listening to her, she immediately loosened her chopsticks and said, “Eat!”
“Ah, I want some meat!” Lan Qingqian was anxious. There was a big bowl of meat, and she wanted a little bit. The old son-in-law was a stingy person. The light in his eyes immediately dimmed.
Gu Jun’an took a bite of the vegetarian dish and ignored him.
In order to eat meat, Lan Qingqian had to bite the bullet and say, “I can probably remember that when he sent the gifts to me, he wrote a congratulatory message.”
For food, she remembered!
Gu Jun’an glanced at Sanba and Sanba immediately handed the letter to Lan Qingqian.
Lan Qingqian frowned and looked at it for a long time. “I don’t think it’s like the big guy’s. It looks like the nephew of my emperor.”
“Your Highness Jiu, don’t lie to us for food!” Sanba felt that her words were unreliable. Firstly, she was only four or five years old, and even if she remembered what happened before, she might not remember it clearly. Secondly, the seal was indeed from He Dongzhi.
“It really looks like Ah Che. Ah Che used to use her left hand to write on purpose. This gesture is a little longer, and here.” Lan Qingqian didn’t know many words, but she could remember the shapes.
Gu Jun’an saw that she was serious, so he didn’t say anything else.
He nodded and said, “Let’s eat first.”
Lan Qingqian was full of satisfaction with the meat, so she immediately picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.
After dinner, Gu Jun’an was still reading the letter. “Could it be that Lan Li Che has come to the border?”
There was a serious look on his face.
San Qi thought that he had something important to do, so he was listening intently to his orders.
Unexpectedly…
“Keep this little thing hidden. What if Lan Li Che comes and finds that she has taken it away?”
San Qi was speechless. What? Is he deaf or is he hallucinating?
“Your Royal Highness, maybe Ninth Highness is mistaken. She’s young and doesn’t know how to write.”
“It’s precisely because she doesn’t know how to write that she pays more attention to the strokes and the words. That’s why she can notice these minute details. She remembers every single thing in Canglan Imperial Palace since she was three years old. She remembers everything from the smallest thing to the biggest thing. She even remembers what the palace maid overturned in the time it takes to make a cup of tea. This proves that her memory has been very good since she was young. It’s not strange that she can recognize Lan Li Che’s handwriting.” Gu Jun’an had already noticed that apart from her natural strength, she had a good memory.
She knew from her daily ramblings that she was young, so no one was willing to listen to her ramblings, so no one noticed her.
“Canglan must be crazy to send a prince to lead the army.” San Qi felt it was impossible.
Gu Jun’an smiled, “It’s just a puppet. The one in power in the court is the empress dowager. He can’t do anything about it.”
San Qi nodded in agreement, “Did the empress dowager force him to come?” He couldn’t think of a reason why a prince would come to the war. He didn’t even use the title of prince.
Gu Jun’an suddenly understood something, “Write a letter to the palace and tell Butler Jiang to keep a close eye on him. Send some guards to prevent strangers from entering the manor. If they let strangers in, they won’t be able to get away.”
San Qi said, “Prince, you are suspecting that Emperor Canglan wants to use this chance to go to the West Province to see His Highness Jiu!”
“Yes.” Gu Jun’an replied.
San Qi immediately wrote a letter and sent it out.
Gu Jun’an looked down at the information he had received. Lan Qingqian stuck her head out of the door but didn’t come in.
She only came in when Gu Jun’an looked up and saw her.
“Old son-in-law, what did you bring me?”
