Chapter 472: Serve the Elderly

Gu Qingwei only shook Gu Jinlin's hand in the end, "Auntie, don't worry, I will be fine." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Although such words sound a little hollow, how can she tell Gu Jinlin that not only is she no problem, but she also won a man in her previous life?

Although Gu Jinlin was not relieved by her words, she still nodded when she heard the words.

So the three aunts and nephews got into the carriage and went back to their respective places.

After returning home, Gu Qingwei spent two days preparing to send the New Year's gift to Qinghe, and the people who gave the New Year's gift were all selected from Gu Qingwei's companion room, and when they came back from Qinghe, this day would come to the end of the year.

During this period, Yu Youran of Xifu finally gave birth to a slightly frail baby girl after suffering all day.

Lu Shi was full of expectations for Ning Zhixiang's first child, and before Yu Youran gave birth, she concluded that Youran's birth was a son from signs such as "sour and spicy girl" and "a sharp belly to give birth to a son", who would have thought that in the end she gave birth to a daughter?

If it weren't for the fact that the production site was in the Anguo Mansion, and there were I don't know how many maids and women were staring at, I was afraid that the Lu family would be angry and would think that it was Wen Po who replaced her grandson!

However, although Yu Youran gave birth to a daughter, this is also Ning Zhixiang's first child, and after the initial loss, the Lu family also changed to a smiling face, looking like a loving grandmother.

And when he was sitting leisurely in confinement, there were female dependents in the east and west, but they were preparing to enter the palace for a banquet.

Last year, because the weather was too cold, there was no palace banquet in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, but this year, Emperor Yuanchang sent a message early to have wine and talk with the courtiers on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Emperor Yuanchang spoke, and how could the civil and military officials dare not be happy, and on the thirtieth day, after lunch, there were already officials who brought their daughters into the palace.

In the Dingguo Mansion, because she heard that the Empress Dowager Ning was infected with the wind cold again, it was a little inappropriate, and the eldest princess of Anping didn't even have time to use lunch, so she urged Ning Jingchang to take Ning Zhiyuan and Gu Qingwei all the way into the palace.

When the eldest princess of Anping and her entourage went to visit the Empress Dowager Ning in Cining Palace, in Yonghe Palace, Emperor Yuanchang was sitting at a small round table with Concubine Zheng Guifei eating together.

Although it was the New Year's Festival, there were no delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table in front of the two, on the contrary, there were more home-cooked side dishes.

Concubine Zheng Guifei wore a half-worn silver-red jacket, with a smile on her face, stroked her slightly raised lower abdomen with one hand, and used chopsticks to pick up some side dishes that Emperor Yuanchang loved to eat, and said: "Your Majesty, this is all made by the concubines themselves, you can use more." ”

Emperor Yuanchang smiled a little more on his face, and regardless of the palace people waiting on the side, he shook Zheng Guifei's hand, "Why do you have to work so hard for Concubine Ai, just let the palace maids do these things, you can be pregnant now." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Concubine Zheng Guifei's hidden belly.

Hearing Emperor Yuanchang mention the child, Concubine Zheng subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen again, and the smile on her face stiffened slightly, but she immediately returned to normal, and looked at Emperor Yuanchang with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't the concubines also think that you love to eat these small dishes made by the concubines themselves, it is the last day of this year, and the concubines certainly hope that the emperor can use a few more bites of their favorite dishes." As for the child in the concubine's womb, Xu knew that the concubine was cooking for the emperor, and she didn't make trouble with the concubine this morning. ”

Emperor Yuanchang smiled and patted Zheng Guifei's hand, and when he looked at her lower abdomen again, there was more affection and closeness in his eyes.

Then while smiling heartily, he raised the chopsticks and vegetables, "Okay, well, since this is made by Concubine Ai herself, of course I have to use more, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of Concubine Ai's thoughts?"

Emperor Yuanchang smiled very heartily.

Since the establishment of the crown prince, Emperor Yuanchang not only did not snub Zheng Guifei since then, as others in the palace speculated, but seemed to love Zheng Guifei a little more than before, and I don't know if it was out of shame for Zheng Guifei in his heart.

Therefore, although Concubine Zheng Guifei failed to be crowned the imperial concubine in the end, the palace people who were already good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder no longer dared to put their thoughts on their faces as before.

However, Emperor Yuanchang also remembered to save some face for the prince, although he still favored Concubine Zheng, he was mediocre to King Ning.

After using some food, Emperor Yuanchang picked up the soup that Concubine Zheng Guifei served for him, and took the delicate silver spoon to drink the soup.

I only drank half of the soup in one sip, and I don't know how I was choked, Emperor Yuanchang put the soup bowl on the table with a "bang", and then coughed loudly while holding the table with one hand, and the cough could almost be described as heartbreaking.

Concubine Zheng was taken aback, and hurriedly threw away her chopsticks and stood behind Emperor Yuanchang, while reaching out and gently caressing Emperor Yuanchang's back, she said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you......?

At this point, Emperor Yuanchang's wave came to an abrupt end.

After a long time, he was patted by Concubine Zheng Guifei and drank the warm water sent by the palace people, and Emperor Yuanchang finally eased up.

With such a play, Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't care if the side dishes on the table were all made by her, so she instructed the palace people to clean up the table, and then stroked Emperor Yuanchang to the side of the soft couch and sat down.

"Your Majesty, you are just too tired," Zheng Guifei said with some disgust, and while speaking, she stood beside Emperor Yuanchang and gently beat his back, "You don't have to bow down to many things in the court, and those who can be handed down will be handed over to the adults in the court, if they can't share the emperor's worries, then what does the court want them to do?"

Hearing Zheng Guifei's words, even though his chest was still faintly stuffy, Emperor Yuanchang couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.

"Concubine Ai is talking about children, I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those political affairs should have been served by me, if I throw them to the hundred officials at will, wouldn't I become a faint monarch who does not act?" ”

Emperor Yuanchang has been in charge of the country for decades, and his heart is naturally first-class arrogance.

However, no matter how arrogant you are, when you reach a certain age, you have to obey the old.

Aging has nothing to do with a person's status.

After serving the old for the first time, Emperor Yuanchang was obviously a little stunned, "After this year, I am about to enter half a hundred years old, speaking of which, the concubine is no more than two years younger than me......"

Emperor Yuanchang's words came to an abrupt end.
