Chapter 459 Farewell to the Emperor (Edited)
Patriarch Gu and the second and fifth masters of the Gu family were also very happy to hear that it was spring all year round in the valley.
At the same time, they were also very curious about the living environment of Lao Liu's family. When Mr. Gu mentioned it, everyone happily agreed.
Gu Fu and Gu Kang naturally had no choice but to respond.
As the younger generation, none of the elders in the family can accompany Mr. Gu, so as grandchildren, it is naturally their duty to do so.
What's more, these two little ones have been close to Grandpa Gu since they were young.
Gu Fu loved the valley and the green plants so much that he was eager to go back.
Gu Kang grew up in a valley. He was taught by an intelligent housekeeper since he was a child and received more modern knowledge than his brothers in the family.
Their thoughts and insights are far beyond those of today's children.
To him, the things in the capital were like a trip. He had seen them once and that was enough.
For him, the Gu residence in the valley is the home where he grew up. What's more, his little friend Wolf Eleven is at home, so naturally he is willing to go back.
Gu Dahai felt relieved and better when he knew that the two younger ones would go back to accompany the old man.
After getting everyone's permission, Mr. Gu took Gu Fu, Gu Kang and the smart butlers, drove a carriage and rode horses, and entered the palace together to bid farewell to His Majesty.
"Aiqin, how long have you been in the capital? Are you going back to the valley? Is there anything you are not used to?" the emperor asked with concern.
Grandpa Gu only talked about the climate in the valley and the reason why he wanted to bring a few older brothers back home to visit.
The emperor had already known from Song Renjing that the valley was suitable for living as it was spring-like all year round.
After hearing this, he believed it and agreed.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren thanked the emperor and were invited to dinner by the emperor.
After dinner, the emperor kept Mr. Gu to chat, and asked Song Renjing to take Gu Fu and Gu Kang to the garden.
As soon as he went out, Gu Kang was stopped by the guards standing by.
Gu Kang naturally knew what the emperor meant, and he also wanted to help his sister and brother Jing.
She happily followed the guards and left, creating some space for the two young lovers to be alone together.
"Sister Fuer, when will you come back to the capital after you leave?" Song Renjing asked reluctantly.
He felt that his sister Fu'er hadn't left yet, but he already started to miss her.
“Now my business has expanded to Beijing, and I have a helicopter, so I can come whenever I want.
Even if I don't come, Brother Jing can fly to the valley to find me if he has nothing to do." Gu Fu said with a smile.
"What's more, we have smart robots and mobile phones, so we can contact each other every day, just like we are outside the valley."
"Chatting across the screen is naturally not as real as seeing Sister Fuer in person." Song Renjing said shyly.
"Then why don't Fuer take back the robot and the cell phone, and Fuer will wait for Brother Jing at the farm outside the city." Gu Fu said mischievously and coquettishly.
"No, no, my dear sister, isn't it enough for your brother to be content? With robots and mobile phones, we can still meet and chat every day. Without these two things, do you want your brother to miss you so much that his heart goes blind?" Song Renjing said quietly and anxiously with red cheeks.
When Gu Fu saw him like this, he felt that the relationship between the two of them was a bit like that between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.
He shook himself uncomfortably and quickly changed the subject.
Seeing Gu Fu shivering, Song Renjing thought she was cold, so he quickly stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and a secret guard holding a crescent-white cloak appeared in front of the two of them.
"Sister Fu'er, put on some clothes quickly and be careful not to catch a cold." Song Renjing said worriedly as he gently put a cloak on Gu Fu.
Gu Fu looked at the gentle big boy in front of him, the boy who had grown up with him since childhood, and responded with a gentle smile.
The emperor and Mr. Gu chatted for a while and determined the time for the Gu family to return.
In fact, the emperor was also very curious about the Gu family’s valley.
When I heard that he had invited the Gu family back, I became interested. "I've heard from Jing that the valley is like spring all year round, the land is fertile, and crops can be grown all year round.
It’s truly a magical place!
I wonder if I have the honor to visit it as well." The emperor asked with a smile.
Old Master Gu responded with a smile: "If Your Majesty can go, it will be a great honor for our valley!
I would like to invite you, but I am afraid that Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and cannot spare the time.
If Your Majesty wants to go, I will welcome you at any time!"
The emperor got the answer he wanted, and laughed, "Okay, then I have received an invitation from Aiqin, hahahaha.
Alas! But I have some state affairs to deal with recently, so I can't spare the time to go with you at this moment.
Why don't we wait a little longer, and when we are sure to go, I will let Jing inform you in advance, how about that? "
"Okay! Then this old minister will be in the valley, waiting for Your Majesty at any time." Old Master Gu also said with a smile.
The emperor and his subjects were in harmony.
The two chatted for a while, and then Song Renjing and the other two came back.
Old Master Gu took his granddaughter and grandson, said goodbye to the emperor and his grandson, and left the palace and returned to the farm.
After the grandparents of the Gu family walked away, the emperor looked at his grandson who was obviously absent-minded and sighed with amusement: "Forget it, you can go down, you can see him off from the city wall. Before the marriage is decided, don't show it too obviously.
You are already old and still unengaged. All the nobles in the city are watching your marriage!
If you show off too much, it will easily cause trouble for the Gu family and add more obstacles to your marriage. Do you understand?"
"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor. I'm sorry for making you worry. I understand." Song Renjing responded seriously.
By marrying him, she can become the queen of the entire Daxia.
The children born may become the heirs of Daxia.
Although the Gu family does not care about fame, wealth and status, all the nobles in the capital do care.
Even the concubines in the palace inquired about his marriage many times.
If they discovered my feelings for Sister Fu'er, I'm afraid those greedy people would cause trouble.
It is recorded in the secret history of the royal family of Daxia that there was once a prince who met a girl from a minor official family while he was out incognito to enjoy the lanterns.
The two met and secretly fell in love.
After a lot of hard work, the prince finally gained the royal approval and was granted the marriage.
However, she was targeted by a powerful family who coveted the position of Crown Princess. That family sent out assassins to kidnap the daughter of the minor official.
After beating her up several times, they threw her into a beggars' den and abused her.
When they found her, the daughter of that minor official had already become a cold corpse, having committed suicide by biting her tongue in the beggars' den.
The prince was deeply shocked to see his beloved like this.
From then on, he fell ill and died within half a year...
It was also because of the tragic fate of this prince that the royal family of Daxia would not place too many restrictions or force the marriages of their descendants.
Most of the people in the royal family of Daxia are infatuated and sentimental, which is one of the reasons why the descendants of the royal family of Daxia are now dwindling.
