Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 102

    Besides Gu Yin and Wang Shi, not long after Gu Ye left that day, the two began to dress up.

    The same banquet was held in the previous dynasty, Wu Zhong was not absent this time, and he also arranged a lot.

    Looking back on last September, Wu Zhong was still not good enough to speak, and he needed two servants to do things for him.

    But since the arrival of Mrs. Wang, she doesn’t like someone to follow her, and when she doesn’t need it, she only lets her servants go outside.

    So Wu Zhong began to do everything by himself.

    Facing a room of blood relatives, he was no longer ashamed because of his strange way of walking and speaking.

    With a good attitude and active training, the old man is now ruddy and energetic, and he is completely different from half a year ago.

    The banquet in the palace was held because of Gu Ye, so without waiting for Wang to speak, Wu Zhong himself said that he would participate.

    With the addition of Wu’an who had not been to the palace, the family set off neatly.

    Gu Yin told Song Shiliu to look after her family, so she was a few steps behind the others.

    When she came out, she saw Wang raised her hand to hit Wu Qingyi.

    Wu Qingyi wore a strong navy blue suit with a golden crown on his head, just standing there, he had an aura of stubbornness.

    But as soon as Wang raised his hand, Wu Qingyi subconsciously turned his head to hide, and the momentum disappeared immediately.

    Gu Yin looked amused, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, “I’m going out now, why is my mother still beating?”

    “No, no, I just saw a bug on his face.” Wang glared at Wu Qingyi while explaining.

    Yesterday, she specially gave Wu Qingyi and Gu Yin a chance to be alone.

    After coming back, Gu Yin slept in the carriage.

    Wang was overjoyed!

    But Gu Ye came back not long after, talking about the affairs in the palace, Wang shi didn’t care to inquire about what happened between the young couple.

    When she went out this morning, Mrs. Wang naturally had to ask her son and daughter-in-law how far they had progressed.

    Mentioning what happened yesterday, Wu Qingyi had a gentle smile on her lips.

    Wang also laughed, and urged: “Don’t patronize giggling, hurry up!”

    Wu Qingyi said that yesterday she helped Gu Yin straighten her hair, straighten her pearl earrings, and held her hand.

    Wang smirked and asked, “What else?”

    “And she said she was tired, we lay down together.”

    “Lie…lie in one place.” Wang was so excited that his lips began to tremble.

    Wu Qingyi nodded and continued: “The carriage was bumpy, so I put a pillow for her. She slept on the pillow.”

    Wang’s excitement faded in an instant, “Can’t you just put her on a bump? Do you need a pillow?”

    As soon as he said this, Wu Qingyi looked suddenly enlightened.

    Yeah, wouldn’t he be a human cushion? And what’s with that pillow?

    This pair just reacted, and the really angry Wang couldn’t help raising his hand.

    How can you be so dumb? In what year can they expect them to hold a child? Wang Shi got on the carriage with a gloomy face.

    ………

    The family took two carriages to the gate of the palace, Wu Zhong and Wu Qingyi went to the former court, and Gu Yin and Wang Shi took Wu An into the harem.

    This time the banquet was held at the Cining Palace, but unlike last time, the Queen Mother did not hide this time and waited early.

    Gu Yin and the others passed neither too early nor too late. The Queen Mother sat on the side of Empress Zhou and Feng Guifei, and there were also a number of foreign wives gathered, who were talking lively talk.

    Gu Yin and Mrs Wang came forward to salute, and the Queen Mother immediately waived their salute, and winked at Mrs Wang, then smiled at Wu An: “This is your second child, right? You’re so smart, come up and let me take a good look.”

    Now everyone knows that Gu Ye was raised in the British mansion before, and it is normal for the Queen Mother to be close to her family.

    Other women also followed the Queen Mother and praised Wu An.

    Wu An is shy and introverted, but after being in the capital for so long, his personality has become much brighter.

    Being pushed to the front by the Wang family, although Wu An was a little shy, he still went up to the front and saluted the Queen Mother again.

    The Queen Mother asked him about his age, hobbies, and what books he had read.

    Wu An answered fluently, and said that he had already read the books of Kaimeng, but he had not started reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

    The queen mother wanted to make a face for him, but unfortunately she didn’t know a lot of characters, and she couldn’t get into Wu’an, so she looked at a female relative beside her.

    That is Mrs. Hou of Yunyang Houfu. She came from an aristocratic family.

    Mrs. Yunyang Hou sold the face of the Queen Mother and asked two paragraphs from “Zengguang Xianwen” and “Disciple Guidance”.

    At his age, who can learn this level, who can believe that he is only five or six years old?

    Children of the aristocratic family who were born at the age of 2 or 3, have learned that this is no more than that.

    For a while, there were many praises such as “prodigy” and “natural talent”.

    Concubine Feng on the side was disdainful, but because of today’s occasion, and because the British government has gone further than before, she naturally did not dare to say anything.

    On this stall, Lu Xu’s loud cries came in.

    Concubine Feng immediately recognized that it was the cry of her own son, and her face changed immediately.

    The servants of the Cining Palace naturally wouldn’t stop Lu Xu, and after a while, the little guy ran in while crying.

    Concubine Feng hurriedly stood up to greet her, “My son, isn’t it time to study at the Wenhua Palace? Why did you run over crying?”

    Lu Xu ran all the way from Wenhua Hall to here, but there were no tears for a long time, only fake crying.

    But when asked by his mother, Lu Xu felt aggrieved, and the big tears rolled out again. He pointed to his mouth and said, “Mother, someone beat me!”

    “Who dares to beat you so boldly? What gentlemen did your father find for you?”

    Lu Xu shook his head and said no, “Lu Lie hit me.”

    “How can King Lie be like this…” Feng Guifei was extremely annoyed, but she didn’t dare to say anything in front of people, she just hugged Lu Xu and cried.

    The mother and son were crying together in the Cining Palace, looking so pitiful!

      He’s very well behaved, but would a really well-behaved child beat his younger brother at this time?

    The Queen Mother was crying and asked, “Why did your brother beat you?”

    Lu Xu sobbed and said, “I don’t know, I was talking to him, and he suddenly started.”

    Concubine Feng hurriedly added oil and jealousy: “Alas, my son, he is the elder brother and you are the younger brother, the elders are orderly, you can only suffer if he beats you. It’s just that your father and the emperor are not willing to give up. Move one of your fingers, I’m afraid you will be frightened?”

    Both are grandchildren, and the palms and backs of both hands are full of meat. The Queen Mother is not good at handling such things, so the mother and son cried a lot and said, “Okay. Don’t cry. Let the imperial grandmother see where you were beaten.”

    Lu Xu was about to pass by when Feng Guifei embraced Lu Xu and said, “It’s alright, it’s just a minor injury.”

    The Queen of Zhou said: “The children are not good at playing, this palace is here for Ali…”

     Empress Zhou was about to help Gu Ye to apologize when Gu Yin said, “Poor Your Highness, running all the way from Wenhua Palace to Cining Palace, it takes at least two quarters of an hour. Poor see. Yes, your calves are running sore.”

    When I said this, everyone came back to it. Yes, this Wenhua Palace was in the previous dynasty and was the closest to Yangxin Palace. The little prince was beaten. Shouldn’t he go to Yangxin Palace to find Emperor Zhengyuan to preside over justice? Why did you come all the way to the harem?

    When Lu Xu heard this, he said, “Yes, I’m so tired. I was going to go to the royal father’s place, but the nanny and the others said…”

    She didn’t finish what she said, and asked his mother Feng Guifei to cover her mouth.

    But what is there to hear here?

    It was the nanny and the palace maid who instigated Lu Xu to come here to complain.

    As to why this is so, of course it is well understood.

    The former Emperor Zheng Yuan had to deal with government affairs first, and then entertain his ministers, unlike the harem’s family, who had already started to talk together.

    If you sue the Queen Mother, everyone who comes to the banquet will know about it, and it will make things bigger.

    Concubine Feng said: “It is normal for a child to find his mother when he is wronged, so why do you think about it?”

    Gu Yin immediately said: “Why did the noble concubine say this, the court lady didn’t say anything, she just felt sorry for Your Highness.”

    Concubine Feng originally wanted to press her head and ask Queen Zhou to make amends for herself in front of others, but now Gu Yin has explained that she is the adoptive mother of the eldest son of the emperor, so it would be the same if she spoke.

    Concubine Feng did not go to see Empress Zhou, but said to Gu Yin: “If the general’s wife is really apologetic, she might as well apologize directly to King Lie. After all, it’s just a child’s play. Sorry, it’s over.”

    “The lady is generous.”

    The corners of Feng Guifei’s mouth were slightly raised, but she listened to her again: “But others don’t know about King Lie’s temperament, but the court ladies know. He is definitely not someone who would attack his younger brother for no reason, the Third Highness is young and can’t explain clearly, why don’t you invite His Royal Highness Prince Lie over and let him explain.”

    Concubine Feng said angrily: “You would also say that we are young. Children of his age are already naughty, but no matter what he said wrong, King Lie should not do anything to his brother. Let’s Sir, say a few words, let it be exposed, the general’s wife insists on inviting Lie King over again, isn’t she afraid of making things worse? Don’t you regret it!”

    Gu Yin trusts her cubs very much.

    Although he is really used to being wild, he has made so many friends that he has never heard of anyone doing it.

    Since he made a move, there must be a reason for it, Lu Xu should fight.

    She is not afraid to speak up.

    At this moment, the **** outside sang: “Your Majesty is here!”

    Emperor Zheng Yuan led the palace servants over, Gu Ye and Feng Yu followed.

    Everyone in the hall stood up to say goodbye.

    Emperor Zhengyuan excused everyone from the ceremony and sat beside the Queen Mother.

    Since he’s here, this matter is officially a big deal, and it’s not something that can be solved in just a few words.

    Concubine Feng was delighted in her heart, but her face was frightened, and she said: “It’s just playing around with the children, how can you alarm your majesty?

    Emperor Zhengyuan was really busy before, but I heard Qian Sansi mention it later, saying that there seems to be trouble in the Wenhua Palace.

    He didn’t take it seriously, saying it was just a kid playing.

    But it didn’t happen. He hadn’t finished his official business, and he heard Qian Sansi say that Lu Xu ran to the Cining Palace crying.

    He started driving and met Gu Ye and Feng Yu on the way.

    At that time, Gu Ye regretted after beating Lu Xu, not because he regretted his actions, but when he saw Lu Xu crying so loudly, he thought he had not controlled his strength, and he really broke him .

    He and Feng Yu chased after him, but Lu Xu was surrounded by nurses and palace servants and left.

    Both of them thought that Lu Xu should go to Emperor Zhengyuan to complain, so they went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but they didn’t think that Lu Xu didn’t go there at all.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan’s face was not very good, but it was not that he was already psychologically judging who was right and who was wrong, but he simply felt that such a small thing could not be more small to ruin the atmosphere of this great day, and felt that it was a disappointment.

    When he asked, Gu Ye immediately pleaded guilty: “It’s true that the son moved his hand on the younger brother, but the son really didn’t put much effort into making the younger brother cry. Please punish me.”

    Gu Ye recognized it so smoothly, Concubine Feng gave Gu Yin a triumphant look, then changed her face, and the crying pear flower said with rain, “Your Highness does not know, child The most tender-faced, even if Axu makes you unhappy, he shouldn’t slap him in the face. Let’s not say whether it hurts or not, even if he is a palace servant, as long as he has a little face, the master will not touch his face. …”

    The so-called face-to-face, slap in the face is tantamount to humiliation.

    “That’s right, that’s right!” Lu Xu followed in a childish voice, “The concubine doesn’t beat the maids…”

    Little Lu Xu’s mouth was covered by Concubine Feng again.

    Gu Ye apologized again and again, and looked at Gu Yin as he spoke.

    Gu Yin understood, stepped forward and knelt down, “It’s the minister’s wife who has not been well educated these years, and I ask Your Majesty to punish you.”

     After speaking, she said sadly: “His Royal Highness Lie, how can you slap the face of the little Highness? If there is anything wrong with him, you should report it to His Highness!”

    Gu Ye followed with a look of regret: “What you taught is that Eunuch Qian was mentioned in your speech, listen to what A Xu has to say…” Speaking of which, Gu Ye stopped abruptly, ” In short, it was extremely harsh words, so I patted his mouth.”

    This is going to be said before, and no one will really say anything.

    But the eunuchs of the new dynasty did not do anything bad, especially the great **** Qian Sansi, who is also the hero of the founding of the country!

      The same faint-hearted emperor as the former emperor?

    Emperor Zheng Yuan changed his face immediately.

    Qian Sansi immediately grabbed the land with his head, “It’s all slaves, isn’t it, it’s all caused by slaves.”

    When the other eunuchs in the hall saw him kneeling, they also knelt down and pleaded guilty.

    The hall was very “lively” for a while.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan personally helped Qian Sansi up, and then called Gu Yedao: “King Lie also get up.”

    Gu Ye wrinkled his face and got up with a face of remorse.

    In the end, Emperor Zhengyuan closed his eyes and smiled angrily: “It’s just a small matter, the children quarreled and moved their hands, so that everyone can see a joke.”

    After saying that, he took people back.

    Lu Xu pulled Feng Guifei’s sleeves and shook it unconvincingly, and muttered, “What’s the matter with the royal father? That’s it? Mother concubine, mother concubine…”

    The expression on Feng Guifei’s face was amazing.

    As Emperor Zhengyuan’s pillow for many years, she naturally found that although Emperor Zhengyuan was invisible, she was really angry!

    How dare she say anything else, she covered Lu Xu’s mouth again, and said with a dry smile, “Bengong said it was nothing serious, so I won’t mention it anymore.”

    By asking Lu Xu a doctor later, Concubine Feng did not eat the luncheon and left directly.

    Two princes, one was raised by his parents since childhood, but he was open-mouthed and only knew how to cry, while the other was out of the world and moved his hand on his brother, but there was a reason for it and he admitted it was wrong The attitude is downright generous again, and it immediately stands out.

    As long as you are not too stupid, after watching this lively event, everyone will already have a sense of proportion.

    …

     Later that day, the banquet was over.

    Gu Ye stayed for a while, asked Qian Sansi aside, and apologized to him.

    Gu Ye said frankly and honestly: “The third brother thought I had bullied his mother and concubine because of what happened yesterday. Ah Yu said that he could ask his father-in-law to witness, so he would speak like that. In the end, it was because of me that my father-in-law was scolded for no reason.”

    In fact, Gu Ye doesn’t need to explain anything. In this palace, the most well-informed person is actually not Emperor Zhengyuan, nor Wu Qingyi. But as the head of the **** Qian Sansi.

    Wenhua Hall also has palace servants. As early as when Lu Xu first started crying, Qian Sansi got the news.

    He could have stopped Lu Xu early, and then notified Emperor Zhengyuan to end this farce.

    But he didn’t move, so Lu Xu let him go, and he reported it to Emperor Zheng Yuan a while later.

    Lu Xu doesn’t have any ideas of his own at this age, he just learns from adults.

    Feng Guifei taught him this way these days. As early as before, when Qian Sansi was instructed to block Feng Guifei and prevent her from entering and leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation at will, Feng Guifei did not dare to say anything about Emperor Zhengyuan in private. , and scolded Qian Sansi to the bottom of it.

    It’s okay to say that he is stubborn, but this is an opportunity Qian Sansi has been waiting for.

    What’s unexpected is that Qian Sansi didn’t expect Gu Ye to protect him like this, and he didn’t want to repeat the extremely ugly title in Lu Xu’s mouth when he was defending in front of others . If Lu Xu hadn’t said it again, he would have really suffered from this dumb loss and ruined his reputation.

    Of course, if no one mentions it in the end, Qian Sansi will ask other eunuchs to mention it.

    However, Gu Ye’s actions still made him feel extremely anxious.

    So Qian Sansi immediately returned the salute and said, “Why did His Highness Lie King say this? The servants all said that it was because the servants caused trouble. Your Highness listened to the servant’s advice. How about the protection so far? There will be another time…”

     it’s the same.”

    Qian Sansi’s eyes were hot, he turned his back and wiped it, and said, “It’s getting late, Your Highness, go back and rest. The servant will send you.”

    Gu Ye said “hey”, smiled and waved at him, followed by the **** who played the lantern and left.

    He walked on the front foot, and Feng Guifei came over on the back foot.

    It’s embarrassing to say, the first time she kissed her son and scolded Qian Sansi so mercilessly, and then she had to ask Qian Sansi to pass it on with her hot face.

      I went to Yonghe Palace to get Concubine Feng’s cloak, and then invited her to a sheltered place warmly and earnestly, and had someone bring a chair.

      It can be said that he knows how to judge the situation and how much he weighs.

    People greeted Concubine Feng, and Qian Sansi entered the hall.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan closed his eyes and rested for a quarter of an hour. When he woke up, he saw Qian Sansi refilling his tea lightly.

    “Alas,” Zheng Yuandi sighed, “Think again, it’s because I have no way to discipline me, I’m sorry to you.”

    Qian Sansi hurriedly said: “The first lieutenant king also spoke in the same way as His Majesty, but he is really a slave!”

    “That kid apologized to you too?” The corner of Emperor Yuan’s mouth raised slightly.

    “That’s right, His Royal Highness King Lie told you to be kind to the hero. It’s not because the servant’s body is defective that he despise the servant.”

    “He remembers what I said.” The smile on Emperor Zhengyuan’s face grew thicker.

    “The imperial concubine is outside asking to see you,” Qian Sansi reported respectfully: “It is more revealing, the lady has been waiting for a long time, and I think she has something important.”

     Of course Concubine Feng came to admit her mistake. Emperor Zhengyuan knew it, and she was not too stupid to think about it.

    “You,” Zheng Yuandi glanced at him, “Axu learned the words from her, why don’t you know you’re angry?”

    Qian Sansi smiled good-naturedly, “Your Highness is young and ignorant, and treats the servants as eunuchs like the previous dynasty. Besides, it’s nothing to be scolded by a servant like this. “Your Majesty, please don’t take anger for the servants and hurt the harmony of the family. The servants will really feel sorry for them.”

    Qian Sansi knows how to advance and retreat, so Emperor Zhengyuan, who wants to treat his heroes well, naturally has to give him face.

    So instead of letting Feng Guifei come in, he got up and went out.

    He wants to let Feng Guifei admit his mistake in front of others, bow his head, and he warns Feng Guifei two more words, this matter will be over.

    When Emperor Zhengyuan walked outside the hall, he saw that there was no one in front of the hall, and in the windshield under the porch, Feng Guifei sat on a cushioned rosewood carved dragon pattern On the armrest chair, he was draped in a silver-white emerald-patterned cloak, a silver fox light fur cloak, and a gilt-silver and hundred-flower incense burner in his hand, a cloisonné enamel hand burner, and on the low table beside him, there were candied dried fruits, melon seeds, and desserts. Make a group of little eunuchs turn around…

    Is this called confession? !
