Chapter 09
The marquis hu'an[SW1] [SW2] had received a guest at the dead of night. The doors of the main study of the Marquis are opened by an older looking servant.
The marquis who is reading a scroll looked up. He is man about in forties. He looked handsome and assured of himself. Even if he is older he had the shrewdness of a fox.
"What is it?"
"Replying to master. Young Master Jian had returned to the residence."
The marquis looked excited. His eyes twinkled. He laughed merrily. "Finally that brat is willing to come back home. Younger sister will be really happy."
The old servant looked at his excited master and thought to himself. Marquis always get excited whenever the princess came to visit the residence.
"Call her in. quickly." The marquis got up and quickly strode towards the entrance.
A voice filled with childishness rang out. A fourteen year old girl in light yellow dress stepped in to the room. "Uncle you are moving too fast. It's not really good for you to move. In your old age you should be in bed by now"
Marquis turned red and scolded the girl. "How could you say that to me? I am still not old. I can still move without anyone's help. You should say such words. You brat."
However his words to the girl filled with indulgence.
The girl stepped forward greeted the older man. "Gu Mei Ya greets uncle"
Hua Xi smiled and sat on the chair. "You are doing okay?"
Gu Mei Ya smiled at her uncle and said. "You won't believe what I did this time. Uncle. "
Her uncle looked at the mischievous girl in front of him and said in exasperation. But he still held the attitude of a listener.
Gu Mei Ya recounted everything happened in Yongjin to her uncle. As they were discussing the matters about her business expansion to the jeweler industry. A hurried footsteps were heard.
A young man stepped in to the room.
He saluted for the older man and turned to face Gu Mei Ya. "Hello little sister. You have come home at last. Auntie will be very happy."
Gu Mei Ya laughed. "Big brother you are really different. You have become more mature. I wonder what caused you to come to capital. You really never appear in the capital."
Hua yan didn't smile. He looked at the girl in front of him and frowned. "You really caused much trouble in the Yongjin."
Gu meiya blinked her eyes rapidly. "You already received the news about it?"
Her oldest cousin really had some abilities. She always admitted to that. Hua yan always at the borders. He worked as the military advisor for the army.
He really didn't appear in the capital unless it's near the year end.
To suddenly appear here it means that something urgent happened.
Hua yan didn't comment about it. But he looked disapprovingly at her. "Little sister, you should not have played with the third prince that way. What would you do if the emperor knows about it?"
"No problem. Father Emperor will only encourage me to do more like that." Gu meiya lifted her head arrogantly. No matter how much her imperial concubine mother is strict about such matters and disapproved of her roaming around the world.
Her emperor father always approved of her ways. As long as she didn't make much big of a trouble.
In the end Hua yan can only shook his head. The emperor indulged her. Nobody can say anything. And also she also had her abilities such he can only warn her to be careful.
Both father and son allowed to rest as she had to be sent to the palace tomorrow morning.
She cannot snuck in to palace by herself. She can only be sent unnoticed by others.
Gu meiya slept in her wing.
The son and father had a conversation.
Hua xi sat on the main seat. Hua yan sat on the other chair.
"Father Great general Xie has been summoned to the capital. I also came here after hearing about that. Father His Majesty summoned the general for what purpose."
"The other countries are coming over for a peace treaty. After the defeat of the northern country. Other countries are scared. Such they would like to alliance through marriage." Hua xi analyzed.
"But father what about cousin?"
Hua xi sighed. "The emperor sometimes would arrange her to be married off. But the emperor is too fond of that girl. I think we do not have to worry about that."
Hua yan also nodded. "Father is right. I will arrange for little sister's entrance to the palace tomorrow."
He saluted and left.
Hua xi looked at his oldest son and shook his head slightly. The other countries coming over to the capital of Bei mo. It really not for some alliance. But to spy whether the country has some loopholes.
No matter how peaceful all the four countries appeared to be. There will always be some unrest among them.
Northern country and Bei mo had always been at war. Now Great general Xie jing shen had defeated the northern country all the prince will be clamoring over to grab ahold of the young general.
With problem that his dear niece had caused the capital will not be peaceful anymore.
Hua xi thought as looked at the ceiling. He can only hope nothing major happens.
