Today's Gu Guanning is already the Empress of Great Qin, in charge of the phoenix seal, and her identity is not what it used to be.

Although Gu Wanning is concerned about the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the daughters of the Gu family must not be pampered and arrogant, let alone lose the sense of proportion in words and deeds.

Of course, the Fang clan understood this truth, and nodded in response.

Gu Hai, who was "recovering from a serious illness", finally showed up in front of people, and also went to the military department to be on an errand.

Because of his hard work, the handsome and dignified Gu Hai lost a lot of weight and haggard. In the eyes of everyone, this is exactly the vicissitudes of life and haggard after a serious illness, and there is no suspicion.

Occasionally, there are suspicious people, and they will inevitably speculate in private.

For example, Cui Shangshu summoned his three sons to the study, and the father and son talked for a long time. What exactly was said, others do not know.

Cui Shangshu asked someone to send a letter to the Dingbei Hou Mansion on the same day, so that Cui Junyao had time to go back to the house.

Cui Junyao guessed a few points in her heart, and politely refused Gu Jinxing's proposal to accompany her back to Cui's house, and did not bring her children, and went back to Cui's house alone.

"A-Yao," Cui Shangshu saw his daughter, and he didn't go around the corner, and asked bluntly: "Gu Guifei is buried, have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

Cui Junyao shook her head: "Gu Guifei closed her eyes in the evening. I wasn't in the third room at the time. When I hurried over, Gu Guifei's body had already been put into the coffin. ”

In other words, Cui Junyao did not see Gu Wanqi's corpse with her own eyes.

Cui Shangshu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he asked in a low voice: "Gu Hai has been sick and has not shown up all these days. Have you ever seen him in the house?"

Cui Junyao replied, "No." ”

Cui Shangshu's brows furrowed.

Cui Junyao hesitated slightly, lowered her voice and said, "Father, these days, I also feel a little strange. The third uncle was sad and seriously ill, and although the third aunt cried a few times a day and looked quite sad, she didn't hurt her muscles and bones. Perhaps, this matter is indeed a little strange......"

The father and daughter looked at each other, but they didn't say the words "fake death and run away".

Cui Shangshu thought about it for a long time before he advised: "You don't have to ask about this matter anymore, I don't know." ”

It's about the emperor and queen, it's better to pretend to be confused.

Cui Junyao nodded first, and then sighed: "The second sister is in the palace, and I don't know how she is doing." ”

What else?

The new emperor never set foot in the harem, except for dealing with political affairs, he went back to the Jiaofang Palace to stay. The three young and delicate concubines can't see the Son of Heaven at all, let alone be pampered.

Cui Shangshu didn't say it, and he already had regret in his heart. It's just that these words are inconvenient to say. Even if it's to my beloved daughter, I can't say much.

……

Cui Junyao stayed at her mother's house for a long time, and only returned to the Dingbei Hou Mansion in the evening.

She has been married to the Gu family for several years and has been in charge of the inner house. The Hou Mansion is peaceful, the husband is studious and very considerate, the son is lively and mischievous, and the originally mean mother-in-law is now a different person. Today's life can be called comfortable.

As soon as Cui Junyao stepped into the bedroom, she saw Gu Jinxing standing alone in front of the window, obviously waiting for her to return.

Cui Junyao's heart suddenly swelled with warmth, and she stepped forward with a smile: "Have you been waiting for me?"

Gu Jinxing didn't have a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Yes." ”

Cui Junyao smiled slightly.

After being married for several years, Gu Jinxing has always treated her very well. Even if the Wu family instigated it, and Wu Lianxiang entered the door later, Gu Jinxing never wavered.

It's the first time that someone has spoken so coldly like this.

"Are you angry?" Cui Junyao asked softly, "Why?"

Gu Jinxing looked at her steadily, and only after a while did he open his mouth and say, "Ah Yao, you have always been smart, how could you not guess why I am angry, why do you pretend to be stupid in front of me?"

Cui Junyao couldn't laugh anymore: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you suspect me of reporting to my mother's family?"

Gu Jinxing's voice also cooled down: "Our Gu family behaves uprightly, and there is no secret and selfishness, even if you go back to your mother's house, there is nothing to report." I didn't say that about you, you yourself are empty-hearted. I guess I really said something that shouldn't have been said!"

Cui Junyao: "......"

Cui Junyao, who is shrewd and kind to words, was blocked speechless for the first time in her life.

The gentle and considerate husband, with cold eyebrows and strange strangeness, looked at her and said word by word: "A-Yao, you are the daughter of the Cui family, and you are the wife of the Gu family." You should know in your heart which is more important, which is closer and which is farther, but don't be confused. ”

After speaking, he walked past Cui Junyao's side and walked out.

Cui Junyao looked at Gu Jinxing's indifferent back in shock, and forgot to catch up for a while.

……

Gu Jinxing's husband and wife were angry and cold, and it soon reached the ears of Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai is so shrewd and sophisticated, after a little thought, she guessed the reason.

Zi Yan asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Tai wants to summon the eldest and young grandmothers to come and speak?"

"No need. Mrs. Tai said lightly: "The affairs of the young husband and wife, it is inconvenient for me, an old woman who is halfway into the earth, to take care of it." It's their business how the two of them make a fuss. ”

Zi Yan was silent.

After a while, a maid came to report. The queen mother in the palace ordered someone to pass on the word and summon Mrs. Tai and the Fang family to enter the palace tomorrow to meet her.

Mrs. Tai stretched her brows: "Zi Yan, go and send a letter to the third daughter-in-law." ”

……

The next day, Mrs. Tai and Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the palace together.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, a familiar face appeared in front of him, and he said with a smile: "The slave maid has seen Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Three. "It was Chen Yueniang, the acting queen who came to greet her.

"Mrs. Tai is old and frail, and the mother specially ordered the slave maid to bring a soft sedan chair. Chen Yueniang smiled and said, "Please get on the sedan chair for Mrs. Tai." ”

According to the rules of the palace, only the emperor and queen are qualified to ride in the chariot, and the rest of the people will walk after entering the palace. Gu Wanning's heart was as careful as dust, and he deliberately prepared a soft sedan in advance.

Mrs. Tai's heart was warm, and she did not refuse, and got into the soft sedan chair with the support of Chen Yueniang.

When she arrived outside the Jiaofang Palace, Mrs. Tai got down from the soft sedan chair, and when she looked up, she saw that Empress Daqin was already waiting at the palace gate with a smile.

The red palace costume is delicate and gorgeous, but it is also a little heavy. Ordinary women wearing palace clothes can't support this weight.

Gu Guanning, however, has an innate pride and dignity, and can completely control this dazzling red palace dress.

After careful recuperation for more than half a year, Gu Guanning's body has recovered most of it, and the injured vitality has gradually recovered. The beautiful face has returned to its former brightness and beauty, and her look is full of anticipation.

Her sister Ning, after hard work, has come to this day step by step and has become the most noble woman in Daqin.

After half a year of separation, the grandfather and grandson were finally able to meet.

Mrs. Tai could not suppress the excitement in her heart and walked forward quickly.

Gu Guanning's pace was faster than that of Mrs. Tai, she held Mrs. Tai's hand hard, and shouted to her grandmother in a trembling voice.
