Chapter 284: 284

Chapter 284

Qin Jiu and Gu Zezhi walked side by side, as the sun shines softly with the gentle breeze sending bursts of plum fragrance.

As Gu Zezhi walked forward, he casually asked, “When are you planning to move?”

Qin Jiu calmly and bluntly said: “The house was already bought and we can immediately move tomorrow.”

Her words were close to outrightly saying that she had long planned to move out of the marquis residence.

Gu Zezhi: “Then I’ll come give you a hand tomorrow.”

“Mm.” Qin Jiu responded with a smile like a blossoming flower, making her eyebrows curve like a crescent moon.

The forgotten Qin Zeyu who was following in the back four or five steps away looked back and forth at Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu when his eyes fell on the smiling face of his sister and thought: I’ve never seen sister smile sweetly like that, really a sham!

Sighing inwardly, he still secretly cheered for his sister hoping that she would put on a good job and try her best to not accidentally lose her mask in front of his brother-in-law. If she scares his brother-in-law, his sister might not be able to marry in the future…

And if his sister couldn’t get married, doesn’t that mean she has to stay at home and take care of him for the rest of his life…

Just thinking about it made Qin Zeyu’s whole body shiver. No, he needs to speak more kind words about his sister in front of his brother-in-law.

Lost in their own thoughts, they didn’t notice the three of them arrive at the gate. Gu Zezhi got on his horse, and his white horse neighed twice.

Qin Zeyu was about to say goodbye to Gu Zezhi when Gu Zezhi looked at him and asked with a smile, “Are you learning martial arts recently?”

Speaking of learning martial arts, Qin Zeyu puffed out his chest, this was the first time he felt genuinely elated after all that had happened. “Grandfather hired a martial arts master for me to come over.”

The young man’s still boyish face was radiant as he answered.

“A’yu, you practice well,” Gu Zezhi smiled deeper. “I recently got a new sword. It is a good sword, I will have someone send it to you later.”

Gu Zezhi was the legitimate son of Duan Wangye, so of course, if he said it was a “good” sword then it must be really good. Qin Zeyu’s eyes suddenly lit up like a lighted lantern as he repeatedly nodded and said, “Okay, brother-in-law, you are so good!”

Such a good brother-in-law, he has to help his sister coax and keep an eye on him!

Seeing that his brother was easily bought by Gu Zezhi, Qin Jiu looked at him sympathetically, hoping that he would not be sold in the future, and count the money for Gu Zezhi!

But even after knowing this, Qin Jiu didn’t intend to remind her younger brother at all, thinking it would be better to let him go outside to suffer some disadvantages. Anyway, boys need to be raised rough!

Qin Zeyu always felt that his sister looked at him strangely so he elbowed Qin Jiu, reminding her that her brother-in-law hadn’t left yet so she must keep on pretending ah!

“Brother-in-law take care!” Qin Zeyu smilingly waved at Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi rode his horse away from the Marquis’s residence and entered the palace again. At this time, it was still but half past the hour, and the sunlight illuminated the glazed tiles on the roof to a bright, opulent, and magnificent.

Earlier when Gu Zezhi left, there was no one else in the imperial study but right now, it was lively. Besides the emperor, there were also Second Prince Gu Jing and five or six ministries of civil and military.

Gu Zezhi was led in by a young eunuch when he heard Gu Jing’s spirited voice that could already be heard outside the imperial study room.

“Imperial Father, the second prince Yelu has proposed to marry the third princess, and wishes the two countries to make eternal friendship.”

“Moreover, he is willing to promise Daqi that if he succeeds the throne in the future, he will make the son of the third princess the crown prince of Yan, and let the royal family of Yan shed Daqi’s blood, and the two countries will become brothers and ally from now on!”

When he said the word “ally” at the end, the corner of Gu Jing’s lips curled up uncontrollably, with a hint of complacency. This time, the peace talks with Northern Yan were negotiated very well by him.

As soon as the words were finished, the door curtain was lifted and Gu Zezhi casually walked in. Gu Jing subconsciously looked in Gu Zezhi’s direction, startled, he immediately calmly looked away.

The emperor also saw Gu Zezhi and motioned him to sit down.

Most of the ministers in the imperial study didn’t pay attention to Gu Zezhi, their attention was attracted by Gu Jing’s words just now, either thinking or exchanging eyes in twos and threes, as they frequently nod.

They were all impassioned, if the princess could be exchanged for peace between the two countries for hundreds of years, then it would be a good thing for the country and the people!

Several civil ministers present expressed their position to the emperor one by one:

“Your Majesty, it is a blessing for Daqi that the two countries stop the war and form a friendship forever with this!

“Your Majesty, I believed that peace will be beneficial to both countries and will make a good story that will last for a hundred years!”

“I seconded it!”

Some were in favor and some were against it.

“Your Majesty,” a tall man of thirty-five or thirty-six years of age suddenly spoke out and bowed with his fist cupped to the emperor behind the imperial case, “This general believes that the matter of peace needs to be considered.”

“The Northern Yan people have always been cunning and faithless in their words. In the past hundred years, they have made peace talks with Daqi three times, but each time they have gone back on their words and torn up the peace agreement, and repeatedly violated the territory of Daqi!”

As the man said this, he inwardly sighed and thought to himself: Actually, he and his colleagues in the military were not optimistic about these peace talks, but, although Daqi won this battle, it was a tragic victory. Northern Yan was wounded but Daqi suffered a big loss, losing almost all of the Yu family in the war, leaving only Yu Fuyu.
