Chapter 973: The Magnificent Power of Han (Ninety-Seven)
There are no years in the mountains. The days of guarding the tomb on Fenghuang Mountain were the most leisurely and comfortable time for Gao Yuan after he came to this world. He was accompanied by his lovely wife and children, and spent every day outing, fishing, catching birds, and playing. She was so happy that her relationship with her eldest son Gao Zhiyuan, who was almost three years old, also heated up sharply during this period. From the time Gao Zhiyuan was born to the present, the days Gao Yuan spent with him were few and far between. Such deep feelings, Gao Yuan's heart is filled with guilt every time he sees his son looking at him with strange eyes. Now that he has such an opportunity, he will naturally not let go of cultivating the relationship with his son. .
Together with Zhiyuan, we crouched in the grass to catch crickets, played in the mud, set up traps for Zhiyuan to catch birds, rolled up our trouser legs to catch small fish in the mountain streams, and moved crabs. Every time we harvested something, we saw the admiration and excitement in our son's eyes. , Gao Yuan felt overjoyed.
The relationship between father and son naturally deepens with such close contact day by day. After only ten days on the mountain, little Zhiyuan prefers to stay with Gao Yuan, because there are not so many rules when he is with Gao Yuan. And the lesson of mother's constant absence. Although Zhiyuan is still very young, Ye Jing'er is extremely strict in his education.
"How can I be a father like you?" Ye Jing'er would nag in Gao Yuan's ears from time to time, "In front of his son, the dignity of a father is gone."
"Why do you have to be dignified in front of your own son?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "It is enough to have you as a strict mother. When I was a child, I often wished that my father could accompany me like this, but I never got it. When it comes to this kind of love, my son is luckier than me, and of course I can't let him have any regrets when he grows up."
Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Ye Jing'er couldn't help but remain silent. She naturally knew Gao Yuan's life experience. Gao Yuan was not nurtured when he was young and relied on Lu Bin's care to grow up. However, no matter how close Lu Bin is, he cannot replace his father's love. Maybe Gao Yuan must be so doting on his son because of his own experiences. He can slowly persuade him in the future.
The sound of the piano flowed through the house like running water. Under the light, Ning Xin, dressed in a pink sand suit, sat in front of the window. Her slender fingers gently stroked the zheng, and the sound of the zheng sounded like a breeze and flowing water. Gao Yuan was lying on a bamboo recliner, holding a small teapot in one hand and tapping the rhythm on the recliner with the other hand, half-squinting his eyes, enjoying this rare quiet time.
Ning Xin's beauty is unparalleled, and her zither skills are unique in the world. At this time, she is wearing thin clothes and the spring light is half exposed, and she is playing the zither. In the evening, Ye Jing'er and He Lanyan each made excuses to stay alone, but they left Gao Yuan to Ning Xin alone. It had been twenty-nine days since they went to the mountain to make ends meet. Basically, Ning Xin accompanied them every night, and they saw each other. They respected each other, but Gao Yuan was extremely pleased. Each of his three wives was an extraordinary person. In the past, what Gao Yuan was most worried about was that the three of them could not live in harmony. Now it seems that he is worrying too much. .
"Xin'er, when can you give me another child?" Gao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
The music of the zither suddenly became chaotic and suddenly lost its tune. Ning Xin raised her head angrily and covered the zither with her hands. The sound of the music stopped abruptly, "Brother Gao, a good piece of music has disturbed you again. It's rare for me to be like this now." I feel so peaceful. If I want to play at this level again in the future, I don’t know what year or month it will take!”
Gao Yuan chuckled a few times. When it comes to music, he is a standard layman. In his heart, there are usually only two standards, good and bad. However, Ning Xin's zheng music can often make his hot heart calm down in a very short time. He calmed down internally. Even if he didn't know much about music theory, he knew that this was extremely rare.
"Now that Jing'er has great ambitions and Yanzi has a bright future, it will be perfect if you give me another baby anytime." Gao Yuan sat up straight, "My Gao family has always been a single generation. In my generation, , if there are many children and grandchildren, my father who is under the nine springs must also be very happy."
Ning Xin stood up with a blushing face, walked to Gao Yuan, leaned against Gao Yuan's side gently, and whispered after a while: "I haven't come here for more than ten days."
"Which one?" Gao Yuan tilted his face and asked.
"That's it!" Ning Xin covered her face with her hands and said shyly, "It's the one that comes once a month."
"Ah, I understand!" Gao Yuan shouted, "It hasn't been here for ten days, does that mean you have it too?"
"Can you be more careful? There are guards outside!" Ning Xin stretched out her hand and beat Gao Yuan's chest, "I don't know if it is already there. Even Sister Jing'er didn't tell her that she planned to see Dr. Qiu after returning to the palace. Let’s talk about it after taking a look.”
Gao Yuan excitedly pulled Ning Xin into his arms, stretched out his mouth and pecked the other person's tender face, "Since it's been more than ten days late, then of course it's happened. Haha, this is really good news. .Xin'er, after you go back, you should ignore the affairs of the Supervisory Yuan for the time being and just take care of your baby with peace of mind."
"Yes!" Ning Xin nodded gently. "After I go back, I will hand over the matters in hand. Brother, I want to have a daughter, what about you?"
"Both my son and daughter are fine!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"You already have two sons!" Ning Xin said, "It's better to have both sons and daughters."
Gao Yuan looked sideways at Ning Xin and nodded thoughtfully, "I understand what you mean. Xin'er, don't think too much. In my heart, sons and daughters are equally good. Even if you give birth to a son, I How can you let him be wronged?"
Ning Xin nodded silently. Gao Yuan's three wives, the eldest lady Ye Jing'er and the third lady He Lanyan are all very powerful. The Ye family has generals with heavy troops such as Ye Chong and Ye Zhen, and there are local officials like Fan Dengke who are in charge of one side. , there are also academic masters like Xun Xiu, and the third brother He Lanyan has the support of the entire Huns. The eldest brother He Lanxiong also controls a legion. Only Ning Xin, although her background is not inferior to the other two, in terms of strength, she is The difference is too far. Apart from having a certain influence in the Overwatch Council, she is completely blank in the military.
Growing up in the family of a great conspirator like Ning Zecheng, Ning Xin has been exposed to too many stories since she was a child. The Wang family is the most cruel and ruthless when it comes to inheritance issues. Although the relationship between the wives is harmonious now, Who can know what will happen in the future?
Maybe giving birth to a daughter is the best choice! Ning Xin said this to herself quietly in her heart.
Gao Yuan stopped talking. To be honest, even he couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future. When he was alive, everything was easy to say, but what about when he is old or gone? Everything he has done now, It is changing all of this bit by bit, hoping that in my own lifetime, I can completely kill the endless succession of heirlooms that stretch throughout Chinese history.
When you unify this land, when the leader of a country has supreme authority, and has the power to kill or seize anyone's life, no one who is qualified to aspire to this position will be tempted, right? The only way is to fundamentally change this power. Only in this way can our descendants stop killing each other.
Power has always been the biggest dyeing vat that changes people.
The two hugged each other silently, enjoying the rare tranquility.
It seemed that God was jealous of their tranquility at the moment. On the mountain where it was so quiet that only the wind blowing on the treetops could be heard, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, followed by a roar of shouts.
"Catch the assassin!" a guard shouted loudly outside.
Ning Xin stiffened and sat up suddenly. Gao Yuan also sat up straight. Looking at Ning Xin with a shocked face, Gao Yuan's expression did not change and he comforted softly: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, it won't happen." Someone can really rush to us. Even if he really has the ability to rush in front of me, he will just end up being caught without help."
Thinking of Gao Yuan's own abilities, Ye Jing'er calmed down and nodded.
Gao Yuan stood up, walked to the table in the room, took out the military thorn that he had not used for a long time, held it in his hand, and walked to the door. At the same time, He Weiyuan's voice could be heard outside.
"Your Majesty, we found a man trying to sneak into the King's residence. The guards are arresting him now. He can't escape."
Well! Gao Yuan nodded, opened the door, and walked out. Just as Gao Yuan stepped out of the door, the window of the house where He Lanyan lived on the other side broke with a bang, and a figure flew out from inside, which scared the two of them. A jump.
The person who flew out of the window landed in front of the house, holding a machete in one hand and a riding whip in the other. His face was full of excitement. Who could it be if it wasn't He Lanyan?
"Where is the assassin? Where is the assassin?" she asked repeatedly.
"Madam, the assassin has escaped, and now the guards are rounding him up!" He Weiyuan looked at He Lanyan, who was wearing thin clothes and had an exquisite body. He screamed so hard that he didn't even dare to raise his eyes.
"Look how excited you are!" Gao Yuan scolded with a smile, "Why don't you go back and change your clothes."
He Lanyan was startled and looked down at her own clothes. She couldn't help but blush. With a whoosh, she flew back from the window she had disrupted. She looked up and shook her head. He Lanyan was not born with that kind of ability. The canary who was confined in the palace had only been back for a few days, but she was already holding her back unbearably. My wife was born to be the kind of goshawk that could only soar in the sky.
A moment later, Ye Jing'er also met Gao Yuan under the protection of the guards. He Lanyan changed her clothes, brought Sula and Wula, and came over with Ming Zhichu in her arms. Everyone had doubts in their eyes. color.
"It's really strange that there are actually assassins?" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "Well, we will go back to the palace tomorrow. We will have more fun tonight and we will have a lot more things to talk about after we go back."
"Your Majesty, my subordinates did not protect me well enough and actually let the assassin sneak into the mountain." He Weiyuan complained from the side.
"We are going down the mountain tomorrow. We are all a little busy today. It's not a big deal. We can just pay more attention to it in the future." Gao Yuan waved his hand, "But the guards must be more vigilant. You will have to work harder after we go back."
"Yes!" (To be continued)
