Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 87
The evidence collected by Emperor Zhengyuan was divided into several parts, part of which was naturally the confession of the people from the ocean-going shipping line, and several people who had an impression of Gu Ye were escorted to Beijing.
It shows that they are not rhetoric and should take responsibility.
The appearance of Gu Ye now is quite different from the appearance of the portrait when he lost it, but if there is a portrait of three or four years old in the middle, it will be perfectly connected, and you will know at a glance is a person.
The last part is naturally the evidence that Gu Yin and Wang’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked hard to make a living in Hanshan Town. This part is not for others to see, but for Emperor Zhengyuan himself.
If Gu Ye was adopted by someone else, such as Feng Yuan, Duke of Lu, Emperor Zhengyuan would kill him with suspicion.
After Gou Quan’s life, he became a disabled person. The imperial physicians sent by Emperor Zhengyuan before said that Wu Zhong was depressed, and he was afraid that he would not have a few years to live. The other was depressed and lonely for several years, from a high-spirited general in the past to a taciturn appearance later.
What’s wrong with this plan? The current throne is not in the hands of Emperor Zhengyuan.
And if they were all so scheming, would Gu Ye let him go wild after he went to Beijing?
Even if they really let him go, they don’t know how to change his age?
A six-year-old child is said to be seven or eight years old. Most people know their family’s previous situation, and they will not doubt it.
Also let the old lady see Gu Ye for the first time and guess he is her eldest grandson when she comes back?
Can’t you keep that kid?
Emperor Zheng Yuan believed that he was not good at writing, but he still had his own set of skills when looking at people. So he didn’t suspect the Wu family, but it was time for someone to check it together.
It didn’t disappoint him, Wang Shi and Gu Yin’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were indeed there because of fate, and they went through many hardships and dangers for many years. It was also a coincidence that Gu Ye was adopted. This little brat was only close to Gu Yin on the pier!
Emperor Zhengyuan came to court for the first time a few years later, and he left Wu Qingyi behind after the court.
…
After Wu Qingyi came out of the palace, she went directly back to the British government.
Both of them are staying in the main courtyard, planning for Gu Ye to go to school after the new year.
“Tomorrow is the sixth day of the sixth day, Mrs. Wen and the others should all be free. I’ll take you and Wu An tomorrow and discuss your enrollment.” Gu Yin wrote the gift list On one side, he said, “I will prepare a bundle for you before the Shangyuan Festival.”
Wang usually cherishes him the most, but when it comes to studying, she is not confused, she only says: “Xiaoye study hard, milk is at home and let the cook cook for you!”
Wu An also comforted him and said: “Actually, reading is not tiring, and the new Mr. Mu is also very kind, knowledgeable, and can do everything. When he lectures, he quotes scriptures, which is interesting. And every five days, you can take a day off, which is much looser than the average school!”
How much more interesting Mr. Lecture is, can it be more fun than outside? Besides, taking a rest day for five days or something, it was really not tempting for Gu Ye to be playing outside all the time, but it made him feel like he was in prison.
Gu Ye looked at his mother pitifully, “Is that only the first half of the day? I’m the owner of the boat line now, so I’m still busy!”
Gu Yin stopped writing, “How do I remember that all the documents for our shipping company are down, the guys are recruited, and the crew is also trained by your uncle’s people?”
Gu Ye was speechless, just as Wu Qingyi came back, the little guy condemned him with his eyes – why did you tell your mother everything? !
At rest, Wu Qingyi couldn’t laugh. He was so overwhelmed that day, he didn’t say anything after sitting to the side.
Gu Ye didn’t look at him anymore, scratched the back of his head and said, “Then I’m still writing dramas! “The Love and Flow” sings until the end of the first month, if you don’t write a new drama, who will advertise your mother? ?”
“It’s okay to not advertise, now Light Food Yashe is done.” Gu Yin said.
Although the status of women is not as good as that of men nowadays, it is still women who are in charge of the central feed in the family.
Light Food Yashe is the most popular in the women’s circle. If you want to go to a restaurant to entertain relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, the female guests of Yashe will naturally put food first.
Of course, the business on the first and second floors is so good, mainly due to the popularity of “The Merry”.
So Gu Yin was actually teasing him. Seeing his face slumped again, she couldn’t help laughing: “Well, I won’t tease you, anyway, I don’t expect you to take the imperial examinations, and you don’t need to. Waiting for Master Wen’s official reply, just half a day!”
Gu Ye laughed and leaned to his mother’s side, a rainbow of farts was about to come.
Gu Yin covered his mouth, “You can save it. The ugly words come to the fore, although it only takes half a day, but you still have to write your homework. If the teacher says that you are not good at learning, That can be the same as Wu’an, study for a whole day.”
“I must study hard!” Gu Ye rubbed his face on his mother’s shoulder in a pleasing manner.
After discussing this matter with the little brat, Gu Yin turned to look at Wu Qingyi and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
He has two jobs outside, and he is a daily manager, but he rarely brings his emotions home.
Wu Qingyi nodded, Gu Yin saw that he had something to say, and was about to let the two children go out first.
Wu Qingyi opened his mouth and said: “Ono stayed, this matter has something to do with him.”
Wu Qingyi relayed what Emperor Zhengyuan and him said to his family.
Before Wu Qingyi said that it had something to do with Gu Ye, Gu Yin and Wang Shi thought it was Gu Ye who caused trouble outside.
The little guy hurriedly smiled and waved his hands, saying that he has been good lately and has never caused anything!
Wang’s family is already working on the draft, and wants to start with “New Year’s Day” to help his eldest grandson to intercede.
After listening to Wu Qingyi talking, the whole family couldn’t laugh, they were all frightened by this thunderous news.
Wu Qingyi took out two portraits and put them together.
Gu Yin and Wang Shi naturally remember what the little boy looked like when he was adopted, and looking at the portrait of him when he was two or three years old, compared with the current appearance, naturally there is nothing to say.
“I was instructed to find Ono at that time, but I didn’t expect to go round and round at home.” Wu Qingyi sighed.
Wang also sighed and said, “It’s my fault too. Earlier, I only told you that Ono was adopted, and did not say the specific process.”
When Gu Ye was eating like a stray cat on the pier, Wang Shi and Gu Yin were both heartbroken.
When they got along with each other later, Gu Ye finally forgot all the hardships in front of him, and the past was even more reluctant to mention that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, for fear of touching the scene and hurting .
Everyone mentions the tragic condition of the child in those days, isn’t this equivalent to rubbing salt on the child’s wound? Neither Gu Yin nor Wang Shi could do such a thing. They only told Wu Zhong and Wu Qingyi that the child was adopted, and nothing else was mentioned.
Wu Qingyi shook her head, “Even if my mother said it, I wouldn’t necessarily think there was such a coincidence.”
At that time, he knew that the child was lost by the people of the ocean-going ship, and he led people to look for it along the way. The piers he found were not a hundred, but fifty. The world was very chaotic outside, and the little beggar didn’t know how many people were. In those piers, who would have thought that the child would be left at the pier where Wang and Gu Yin set up a stall? Just got them adopted.
“Then your Majesty wants to recognize Ono back?” Gu Yin embraced Gu Ye and asked aloud.
Wu Qingyi nodded, “The one who kidnapped Ono was the person from Ocean Shipping, and the person in charge of that operation fled south with those people, and now they have been arrested, and these people will be escorted later. Shangjing. His Majesty meant that their confessions and portraits could testify for Ono, but it would cause trouble in the future, so he said to the outside world that Ono asked me to find him back then, but he was not in good health and was approved by the minister, so he was fostered first. at our house.”
Those evidences are only the first, and the British government’s protection for Gu Ye is the second. Under the double protection, no one will dare to doubt Gu Ye’s blood in the future.
“Tomorrow morning, Ono will enter the palace with me.”
After saying this, everyone was speechless.
If Gu Ye is a child of an ordinary family, even if his parents find him, the two families can often come and go as if they were relatives.
But if it is the royal family, who would dare to climb relatives with the royal family? Especially since ancient times, underage princes have lived in the palace, which means that they will be separated from him.
This separation will wait for him to leave the palace and build a mansion when he is a teenager.
If he is crowned as a prince, he will have to live in the East Palace, and he will not be able to see him anytime he wants!
Gu Ye kept his head down and listened, and when he heard his milk cry, the little guy raised his head and said with a smile, “Why are you crying? I’m the prince! Amazing!”
His eyes were red as he spoke, and he wiped the back of his hand indifferently, “I thought I was thrown away by my parents, but it turned out that I was just kidnapped. Now I am not There are several more relatives! It’s a good thing!”
Such a sudden change, even ordinary adults can’t bear it, but he is young and persuaded everyone in turn.
Gu Yin was soft-hearted and ironic, and followed up: “Well, Ono still thinks clearly.”
Gu Ye gave a nasal “um” and laughed again: “How wonderful, I don’t have to go to Wen’s house to study!”
Gu Yin burst into laughter, “It’s the prince who wants to study even more, and he has to go to the study before dawn!”
“Haha, that’s it.” Gu Ye laughed, “I didn’t understand when I was a prince for the first time. Haha…”
He had a small white face, and his big eyes were full of tears, which made Gu Yin’s whole heart twitch.
In the afternoon, Wu Qingyi didn’t go to work, and Gu Yin didn’t go to eat for the day, so they stayed at home to accompany Gu Ye.
It was just that when the family stayed together, there were endless things to say, but today everyone is much silent. Only Wu Qingyi introduced him to the composition of the royal family.
After the evening meal, Gu Yin naturally took Gu Ye to sleep together.
The two of them washed up and lay on the same bed.
Facing his mother, Gu Ye didn’t laugh anymore, but whispered in her arms: “I used to think that I was so old, and I wanted to sleep with my mother and let others If I knew I could only stay with my mother for so many years, I would definitely depend on my mother every day.”
Gu Yin put her arms around his small body and patted him on the back, “There are no outsiders, tell the truth to my mother, are you happy to find your family?”
Gu Ye nodded slightly in her arms, “Happy. But I don’t remember anything from my childhood, they are like strangers to me, maybe they can get along well. Feelings out. But…”
He sobbed, “But if you don’t have to be separated from mother, grandma, Wuan, and everyone, it would be fine.”
Gu Yin also sighed and told him: “My mother doesn’t understand what’s going on in the palace, but don’t be afraid when you encounter something, your mother, your uncle, and your grandmother are all outside. ,Did you know?”
“I know.” Gu Ye nodded again, “The ship’s business is all done, it doesn’t matter who it is in the name, I will change the names of those deeds when I have time. Brother Xiaofeng, I forgot to notify him today. Mother let me know, I should not be able to write a new drama. I know that my mother has the best solution for business matters. But you don’t want it either. Too tired, if you encounter something difficult, ask my uncle to send me a message when he enters the palace, the size is a prince, I will handle everything for my mother.”
Every time he said a word, Gu Yin should say “OK”.
After speaking for a long time, he didn’t say anything, Gu Yin thought he was asleep, and looked down, only to find that he was crying silently with his eyes closed.
Aware of her gaze, Gu Ye buried his head deeper, and finally whispered: “My uncle is actually a good person. After I leave home, my mother can have another child.”
“You bastard.” Gu Yin patted his little butt, “are you still worried about this?”
Speaking of Gu Yin reaching out to scratch his itch, Gu Ye giggled with tears.
He cried and made trouble, and soon he fell asleep.
Gu Yin didn’t sleep anymore.
Looking back at the time when I first met Gu Ye, I just thought he was pitiful. At that time, the situation at home was much better than before, and he was kept at home without a single bite of food.
What did she know at that time? Seeing how the Wang family treats Wu An, she will take care of him in the same way.
In the blink of an eye, the cub was pulled so big.
Compared with separation, she is more worried about Gu Ye’s future – Queen Zhou already has a second child, and she is more important than eyeballs. The little guy is extremely possessive, knowing that his biological mother gave birth to another child when he was lost, it must be uncomfortable.
Not to mention, the royal family is inseparable from this matter.
Would Queen Zhou like the child behind him to go over him? Will the Feng family be willing to come up with a eldest prince?
The pieces are beyond Gu Yin’s ability, so she can only take a step by step.
The next morning, Gu Yin helped him get dressed while Gu Ye was asleep.
Wang Shi, Wu Zhong and Wu An quietly came to see him.
When Wu Qingyi came over, everyone didn’t call him, but handed him into Wu Qingyi’s arms.
Wu Qingyi hugged him at the back, and Wang took a cloak to wrap his head.
In this quiet atmosphere, Wu Qingyi carried Gu Ye into the carriage.
As soon as he got to the carriage, Gu Ye, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes.
“Let’s go, uncle.” He resisted the urge to probe out and smiled at Wu Qingyi.
…
Gu Ye entered the palace for the first time. After the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, he didn’t want Wu Qingyi to hug him.
I kept sending him near the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Wu Qingyi stopped, squatted down and said, “Your Majesty likes straight people, you must remember.”
As he spoke, he patted him on the back again, “You remember our family is here, and I will be on duty in the palace recently. Don’t be afraid, go ahead.”
Gu Ye nodded vigorously.
Qian Sansi had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and when he saw them coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile, “Hurry up with the servants, your majesty, the empress dowager and the empress are waiting for you. Woolen cloth!”
Gu Ye smiled at him, “Thank you father-in-law.”
Qian Sansi is too busy to dare.
Gu Ye waved at Wu Qingyi again, and then followed Qian Sansi in.
Don’t look at Gu Ye’s face, but his palms are actually wet.
He knew that the emperor of the new dynasty was different from the previous emperor, but he didn’t understand how. Just think about the phrase “accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger” in the mouths of storytellers or in dramas.
He stabilized his mind, took a deep breath, and went in.
Remembering that Wang Shi said the previous night that the grandmother he had seen before was the queen mother, Gu Ye looked at her first with his eyes.
Seeing the empress dowager’s kind-hearted appearance, Gu Yexin relaxed, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe beside her, Gu Yeren was dumbfounded, “Uncle Lu, why are you?”
Emperor Zhengyuan and Empress Dowager Wang both laughed, especially the old empress can’t close her mouth, she waved to him and said, “Good boy, come quickly.”
The queen mother touched his hand and felt a little sweaty, so she put the hand stove in her hand to him.
Gu Ye held a cloisonné enamel stove in two small hands, thanked the Queen Mother first, then turned to look at Emperor Zhengyuan, “Uncle deceived me so badly.”
Emperor Zheng Yuan laughed, he deliberately didn’t tell Wu Qingyi that he had seen Gu Ye, just waiting for now.
This little monkey, who knows he has been deceived, is angry and wants to laugh, but he has to keep his face straight, forcing himself not to laugh.
After laughing, he said: “What’s the matter? I charged you so much money in front of me, but I sent several Hanlin bachelors to help you write the script. Although I deceived you, didn’t it benefit you? “
Gu Ye said “Hi”, leaning into the Queen Mother’s arms and said, “I said, why did someone sell me the playbook worth five hundred taels for only five taels of deposit!” Shaking the Queen Mother’s hand gently, “Ama, he bullies children!”
The Queen Mother was so soft that she could pinch out the water, and immediately raised her hand at Emperor Zhengyuan, “Good boy is not angry, the milk will beat him for you!”
Because there were no other palace people in the palace, Emperor Zhengyuan also held his head exaggeratedly and said: “What do you mean by mother, you want a grandson instead of a son, right?”
The Queen Mother smiled so bitterly that she didn’t even remember the last time she laughed like this.
After laughing for a while, the Queen Mother pushed Gu Ye to the other side.
Queen Zhou was watching him cry silently.
Emperor Zheng Yuan has worked hard years ago until now, and Queen Zhou has finally been able to talk to him recently.
The night before, he found a time when Queen Zhou was in a good mood, and finally showed all the evidence to Queen Zhou.
Queen Zhou didn’t sleep all night, for fear that she would wake up and find it was a dream.
The moment he saw Gu Ye, he finally understood that although there was no evidence for what Emperor Zhengyuan said earlier, he thought it was him.
Empress Zhou grabbed the front of her chest and cried out of breath: “I’m sorry for you, I shouldn’t have taken you out when I was washing clothes, I haven’t taken good care of you yet. You… Later, your father and your grandmother said that they found you, what evidence do I need, I can’t believe it…”
If Gu Ye’s life is not good, he may resent them. But although he wandered for a while, but now he doesn’t remember much of what happened at that time, and he lived happily afterward, but Empress Zhou’s turbulent tears made him a little at a loss.
“Don’t cry,” Gu Ye tried to organize his words, “Uncle Wu told me that I was kidnapped by kidnappers. The means of those people are hard to guard against, and I can’t blame you. . Am I not doing well now?”
Although Gu Ye no longer had an impression of her, he still felt very close to Queen Zhou. So he took the handkerchief she had and wiped her tears as he spoke, “Crying too much has bad eyes.”
Queen Zhou grabbed his little hand, it was warm and warm, soft and gentle, and the unreal feeling disappeared.
At this time, Qian Sansi came in to pass the news, saying that the little prince woke up from sleep and could not see Queen Zhou crying. Send a message here.
Empress Zhou subconsciously stood up. Just as she was about to lift her foot, she realized something was wrong. She looked at her eldest son apologetically after a long absence.
Gu Ye said: “Go, I’ll save it.”
“Good boy. Would you like to visit your brother with me?”
Gu Ye turned to look at Emperor Zhengyuan and the Queen Mother, and with their permission, he followed Queen Zhou to Kunning Palace.
There, Gu Ye met the little prince Lu Zhao for the first time.
In Gu Ye’s opinion, he is a very old child, but he can’t speak or walk, and it is very strange that people are hugged and coaxed.
But he didn’t say anything, Queen Zhou gave him a toy, and he played with Lu Zhao.
Up to the age of 10, down to one or two years old, there will be no children who are not good at Gu Ye.
Not to mention they are brothers.
Lu Zhao soon fell in love with the elder brother whom he met for the first time, unlike before, only Queen Zhou was left alone.
While the brothers were playing, Queen Zhou watched lovingly from the side, asking Gu Ye something from time to time.
She asked Gu Ye and answered, but she didn’t say anything bad, she only picked up the words that wouldn’t make her cry.
Playing until noon, Queen Zhou asked him about his taste, and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare meals. Seeing that both of their brothers had eaten, Queen Zhou had not slept all night, and now she is a little supportive No longer.
Gu Ye waited until she and Lu Zhao slept together before leaving Kunning Palace and returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation is usually like an iron barrel, Feng Guifei can’t even enter, but Gu Ye can come and go freely.
Emperor Zheng Yuan was handling official business, and when he saw him coming, he asked with a smile, “Have you seen your brother?”
Gu Ye hummed vaguely, and Emperor Zhengyuan took out another waist card and a document, saying that everything on it was for him.
As for his identity, he had to wait for the people from the ocean-going ship to be escorted to Beijing, and he issued an imperial decree to declare to the world, and then let Qin Tianjian find a good day and sue the Taimiao.
A series of arrangements are also in the document, and I can’t explain it in a few words. If you have any unsatisfactory or other requirements, you can mention it.
Gu Ye responded again, tied his waist card to his belt, glanced at the document, and put it in his arms.
Emperor Zheng Yuan had all the documents he had accumulated from years ago, so he really didn’t have time to accompany him, so he said to him: “I have been busy for two days and I will accompany you. Today you will go to the Cining Palace. , to accompany your imperial grandmother. Rest early later.”
Gu Ye responded and was taken by Qian Sansi to the Cining Palace.
The queen dowager’s way of pampering children is exactly the same as that of Wang’s, that is, stuffing children with food and money. In addition, the Queen Mother was not used to being served in the palace, so the grandparents and grandchildren stayed, and Gu Ye was much more relaxed, coaxing the Queen Mother all afternoon without stopping to laugh.
In the evening, the Queen Mother thought that he got up early and let him rest.
Standing for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Ye walked back dejectedly.
Unconsciously, he walked to the Hall of Mental Cultivation again. Emperor Zhengyuan finally finished his official business. When he saw the little guy coming back, Emperor Zhengyuan was stunned: “Why are you so polite? I didn’t let you accompany you. Can grandma just take a rest? Don’t use it to salute me.”
Gu Ye scratched his head and said, “No, I don’t know where I live yet!”
Emperor Zheng Yuan is even more strange, “Isn’t it all written in the documents for you?”
Gu Ye blushed and said, “I can’t read!”
Emperor Zheng Yuan was drinking tea when he heard the tea and almost spit it out, “Don’t you look at the playbook and look good?”
The family by blood will get along for a long time in the future, so Gu Ye naturally stopped pretending and said, “I lied to you too, I don’t understand at all.”
The father and son lied to each other, and Emperor Zhengyuan couldn’t say anything.
Emperor Zheng Yuan couldn’t help laughing and said: “Monkey boy, I let you lie! You live in the palace outside the palace first, in the mansion next to the British palace.”
