Chapter 951: Companion Reading (1)
In the next few days, as soon as Gillian and Ayi got free, they got together and muttered and discussed the choice of companions.
Gu Wanning simply let it go. Just take advantage of this opportunity to hone the hearts of the two children.
Empress Dowager Min learned that a pair of precious grandchildren were going to choose a companion to read, and she was quite interested, so she specially came to the Jiaofang Palace and asked about it carefully.
Gu Wanning said with a smile: "Both of them are eight years old, and it's time to choose a partner." β
"According to the practice in the palace, only one or two companions are generally selected. How did I hear that both of them have a long list?" asked Empress Dowager Min with interest.
Gu Wanning said with a smile: "Big children have a heart, and they feel that there are many people. Anyway, the study room is big enough to accommodate dozens of children in it. They choose as many as they want. β
Empress Dowager Min, who dotes on her children the most, nodded in agreement: "This is reasonable!"
After thinking about it, he said: "When the time comes, let Brother Lang and Sister Yu also enter the palace to study together!"
Gu Guanning nodded: "My daughter-in-law also has this intention." β
Brother Lang is the grandson of Han Wangfu, and Sister Yu is the eldest granddaughter of Wei Wangfu. Let them enter the palace as companions, firstly, to show the grace of the saints, and secondly, to contain the Han Wangfu and the Wei Wangfu.
Empress Dowager Min hesitated slightly, and stopped talking.
Gu Wanning was so astute that he suddenly felt something different: "Is there a suitable candidate in the heart of the queen mother?"
Empress Dowager Min cleared her throat and said cautiously: "If you plan to choose a few more companions for Ah Yi, can you choose one from the Chengen Mansion to enter the palace?"
Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Engong have two sons and a daughter, and the two sons have already become biological sons. In this generation, there are four grandchildren and two granddaughters. Among them, the one who is closest in age to Ah Yi is the third-ranked grandson Min Da.
Empress Dowager Min opened her mouth, obviously wanting Min Da to enter the palace as a companion.
Gu Guanning did not hesitate, and immediately responded: "Okay, don't worry, the queen mother, the daughter-in-law will arrange it." β
Empress Dowager Min breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but explain: "After Cheng Engong made a mistake last year, he has been keeping to himself. This year, the Duchess of Chengen entered the palace to ask for peace and mentioned the matter of accompanying reading. It's inconvenient for me to refuse, and I haven't opened my mouth with you until now. If you feel embarrassed, I will send someone to the Cheng'en Mansion to deliver a letter......"
"The queen mother is too worried. Gu Wanning smiled warmly: "Da Ge'er is clever and likable, and it is also excellent to be a companion of Ah Yi." β
When Empress Dowager Min saw that Gu Wanning's face was safe, she was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "That's fine." β
β¦β¦
Since Gu Guanning officially took over the phoenix seal, Empress Dowager Min handed over all palace affairs to Gu Guanning, without any nostalgia for power. She also takes care of her mother's family, but she has always adhered to a criterion, and she must not damage the face and interests of the emperor and queen in the slightest.
That's what people are. You respect me a foot, and I pay you back.
Gu Guanning didn't have a good impression of the Min family, but because of the Empress Dowager Min, he was quite tolerant of the Min family.
It doesn't hurt to choose a companion to read. This kind of trivial matter, Gu Wanning naturally would not embarrass Empress Dowager Min.
Mrs. Min was quite happy in her heart, and asked casually: "By the way, I heard that Concubine Fu's condition has worsened in the past few days, and she is talking nonsense all day long. Always say something that isn't me. Could it be that the assassin's assassination that day really had something to do with her?"
"I also heard that in order to prove his innocence, Fu Ge Lao has returned to his home, and he hasn't been to the court for a few days. β
Empress Dowager Min doesn't ask about world affairs on weekdays, and she pays little attention to the affairs of the court. However, this time the movement was really noisy.
Speaking of Fu Ge Lao, Gu Wanning's expression turned cold, and he said lightly: "Where the assassin came from, I have never found out. Concubine Fu has all kinds of abnormalities, and she thinks that she has nothing to do with this matter. Fu Ge Lao didn't come out of the door, so he thought that he could prove his innocence, which was really a bit ridiculous. β
Empress Dowager Min was shocked when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at her daughter-in-law with cold eyebrows: "Fu Ge has always been the first assistant of the court, and he has been in the court for decades, and he has many protΓ©gΓ©s...... Ah Xu's ascension to the throne is still short, and at this time, stability is the most important, and you must remember not to act rashly. β
It's not a trivial matter to want to move for a while.
Gu Wanning didn't want to say more, and pulled the corners of his lips: "What the queen mother said is true." β
Soon it was back to the companion reading.
β¦β¦
The next day, Gillian and Ah Yi each handed a list to Gu Guanning decently.
Gu Wanning took the list with a smile and quickly skimmed through it.
A pair of children have been practicing calligraphy since they were five years old and have been practicing for more than two years. Ah Yi's handwriting is upright, and Gillian's handwriting is elegant and smart.
Gillian has four names on her companion list. Xiao Tianyu is in first place, Fu Hui is second, and the third is Sun Rou.
Sun Rou is the daughter of Sun Wu and the county lord of Jiayang, and she is six years old this year. rarely enters the palace on weekdays, and Gillian listed her name, obviously taking into account the concubine of Empress Sun Xian.
When he saw the last name, Gu Wanning smiled slightly and looked at Gillian: "Did you add the last name yourself?"
Gillian nodded: "Yes." β
The last name is Xiao Tianyue. It is Sister Yue, the only daughter of the prince of Qi.
Gu Wanning's expression was unpredictable, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and anger: "Do you remember Sister Yue?"
Gillian nodded again: "Of course I remember." Sister Yue's father and grandfather committed rebellion, and they died innocently. Sister Yue is innocent. She hasn't done anything, but she has been locked up in the Zongren Mansion all day without seeing the light of day, and I think she is very pitiful. So I want her to come to the palace and I will study with me. β
Gu Wanning was silent.
Gillian couldn't figure out Gu Wanning's mind for a while, and cautiously asked tentatively, "Doesn't my mother agree?"
Gu Wanning pursed the corners of his lips: "I will think about this matter for a few days." β
Gillian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother." β
There is no refusal, most of them will agree.
Gu Wanning lowered his eyes and looked at the list listed by Ah Yi carefully.
Listed in the first place, it is Xiao Tianlang, the grandson of the Han Wangfu, followed by Gu Huaijun of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, then the eldest grandson Ding Yuanzheng of the Pingxi Bo Mansion, and the last one is Luo Qian, the eldest grandson of Luo Hengzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"Cousin Lang, Cousin Jun, Cousin Hutou, and Cousin of the Luo family," Ah Yi counted them one by one: "I am the same age as them, I grew up together since I was a child, and I am already familiar with them." Since I chose to read with my companions, I chose a few of them. β
Gu Wanning nodded slightly: "This list is good." β
With Gu Wanning's approval, Ah Yi was very happy, and immediately grinned: "Does my mother agree?"
Gu Wanning snorted and said with a smile: "List Min Da again." β
Minda?
Ah Yi subconsciously frowned, not very happy: "Cousin Da is too naughty, and he broke my Trojan horse last time he entered the palace." I don't like him. β
Gu Wanning's expression narrowed: "Da Ge'er is your imperial grandmother's maiden nephew, this time your imperial grandmother deliberately opened her mouth, I have already responded." β
