Chapter 178 The Prince Arrives

Therefore, after doing this, he remembered that 90% of what he remembered was correct.

People are like this. Once they get positive feedback, they will become more confident.

So when Shang Ji saw Shang Zhiping's mouth slightly raised, he was also happy.

But he was not good at saying encouraging words. He just had to control himself and not put pressure on his nephew.

He Shilin met these dignitaries for the first time today, so he also remembered them carefully.

Even if he couldn't remember all of them, he remembered a lot.

The most important thing was that he showed his face next to Shang Ji. He didn't remember much, but many people remembered him.

A scholar who could show his face in front of everyone before taking the imperial examination seemed to have a bright future.

As he was talking, he saw a new carriage coming not far away.

It was written with the word "Guo". It was clear that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion had arrived.

This Prime Minister Guo was also a person who had shared life and death with Shang Ji's grandfather and grandfather-in-law.

Now both of them have been buried in the ground, and Prime Minister Guo is still escorting the emperor in the court, so he can be regarded as the most outstanding one among the founding heroes of the Daxing Dynasty.

Therefore, Shang Ji did not dare to be negligent.

The general's mansion did not dare to be negligent either, so everyone took two quick steps to the stone steps to greet him.

He was more respectful than other people who came to congratulate him.

Sure enough, today Prime Minister Guo not only came by himself, but also brought his wife, children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law with him.

More than a dozen people were all smiling, and everyone was happy to see them.

"Shao Yu meets Prime Minister Guo, how are you."

Prime Minister Guo was able to entrust his children to the Gu family in the early years, so he naturally had a very good relationship with Marshal Gu.

Therefore, in front of him, Shang Ji was right to call himself Shao Yu.

And Prime Minister Guo obviously attached great importance to the only remaining grandson of Marshal Gu, and said it in a hurry.

"No need to be polite, we are all family, let's not talk about these two families."

If there hadn't been the imperial edict of marriage, the Guo family and the Gu family would have really become a family.

The reason why they are still called a family now is entirely because Queen Guo once recognized Old Lady Gu as her godmother, so she said so.

Shang Ji didn't shirk responsibility. According to the closeness between the Gu family and the Guo family, he also respected the prince.

This point was known to everyone in the court.

And the prince's faction had added such a fierce general, naturally many people came to surrender.

So, they treated Prince Shang Ji with courtesy and even more intimacy like brothers.

"I heard that your grandmother fell ill a few days ago. Is she better now?"

"Much better, thank you for your concern, Grandma Guo."

Old Lady Guo and Old Lady Gu have been friends for many years, but they have less contact in the north and south.

But it did not prevent the two from caring about each other, so she asked this question and Shang Ji replied.

"That's good, I want to talk to her more later. I haven't seen her for many years and I miss her very much."

"Grandmother also said that she missed you, why don't we go in and talk."

"Okay, then let's go in and talk."

Shang Ji invited everyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the General's Mansion, but before they walked far, they heard the housekeeper He hurriedly report.

"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

This made Shang Ji frown a little. He clearly wrote the invitation half an hour later, just to make the Crown Prince come later.

Otherwise, asking him to wait for others would be a joke, wouldn't it?

Who knew that the Crown Prince would come so early.

Instead, it was Prime Minister Guo next to him who smiled and said.

"Let someone send them to see your grandmother first. I will go with you to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

Prime Minister Guo spoke, and Shang Ji followed his instructions.

So, even if Shang Zhiping was timid and afraid of things, he had to take up the responsibility at this moment.

He said to Mrs. Guo and others.

"Please."

Mrs. Guo was not a tricky person. Since her master had given such an order, she would naturally do it.

So she followed Shang Zhiping and took her family to the front hall.

When Shang Ji and Prime Minister Guo hurried back to the gate, they saw a team of royal guards waiting there.

Everyone looked very brave and serious, and Shang Ji quickly recognized that it was the prince's carriage.

"I told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come at this time to let others know how much the royal family valued the Gu family. I wonder who dares to make trouble in front of the old lady?"

After hearing what Prime Minister Guo said, Shang Ji was moved.

He invited many guests to save face for the Gu family.

And Prime Minister Guo and the Crown Prince arrived early to save face for the Gu family.

Such an attitude made Shang Ji remember it in his heart, and he was very grateful.

"Shao Yu thanks the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo for their help on behalf of my grandmother."

"What are you talking about? The Daxing Dynasty can be what it is today, all thanks to the Gu family, otherwise how could the border be stable and Sui'an City be prosperous."

Prime Minister Guo could say this, but Shang Ji couldn't say it.

Otherwise, it would cause trouble for the Gu family, so he just smiled gratefully and greeted them immediately.

The Crown Prince only brought the Crown Princess this time.

The children were all left in the East Palace and taken care of by the maids.

After seeing the two of them get off the carriage, Shang Ji knelt on one knee with his fists clasped.

"I greet the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Prime Minister Guo also followed suit, but he was a founding minister and the Crown Prince's grandfather, so he didn't have to kneel.

"This old minister has met the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess both wore bright yellow costumes today, showing the majesty of the royal family, and everyone was impressed.

In terms of age, Shang Ji is one or two years older than the Crown Prince, but their temperaments are completely different.

Shang Ji is resolute and serious, while the Crown Prince is gentle and humble.

When he saw Shang Ji, the Crown Prince smiled and helped him up.

"Why are you so polite, Liu Lang? Stand up."

"Thank you, Crown Prince."

Then the Crown Prince repeated.

"Grandfather, you don't have to be polite."

"Thank you, Crown Prince."

When the Crown Princess saw Prime Minister Guo, she also half-saluted and said respectfully.

"Grandfather, how are you?"

"Crown Princess, how are you?"

When the Crown Prince saw the servants of the General's Mansion kneeling behind the two of them, he also said with a smile.

"Today, I am here to congratulate the General's Mansion on its relocation, so there is no need to be polite, please stand up."

"Thank you, Prince."

After this uniform voice ended, everyone stood up.

The Prince said something jokingly at this moment.

"I hurried and hurried but still arrived a step late. In the end, my grandfather arrived first."

Prime Minister Guo had a good relationship with the Prince's grandson, so when he heard this joke, he replied.

"My old minister's home is closer to the General's Mansion, so naturally I have to arrive a few minutes earlier. The Prince came from the East Palace, so of course he had to walk a little longer on the road."
