Xiao Xu smiled and asked, "How is Sister Yue'er's schoolwork lately?"

Sister Yue'er lowered her head and replied: "Yue'er is ashamed, her schoolwork is always inferior to Gillian's cousin." ”

It's still this weak and cowardly appearance that can't be put on the table!

Compared with Gillian who got up and looked at the side and looked at it with a radiant spirit, it became more and more gloomy. It's like putting two pieces of jade with completely different textures together, and the contrast is strong.

A familiar irritation flashed through his heart.

He only has such a daughter. However, the daughter was born with an unattractive appearance, neither smart nor likable, which is disappointing. And Xiao Xu has such an outstanding four children. Both "quantity" and "quality" are far superior to him......

This is all because the mother of the Gillian siblings is exceptionally good.

In the future, he will let Gu Wanning give birth to a child who truly belongs to him, who is smart and talented, and no one can match.

The thought of it diluted his disappointment with Sister Yue.

No matter what, it's always in your own blood.

He calmed down and said gently: "You have only been in the palace for three years, and your schoolwork has been wasted since you were a child, and it is inevitable that you will not be as good as Gillian." Work hard in the future, that's it. ”

Sister Yue'er was a little flattered: "Yue'er must remember the teachings of the imperial uncle, and she will work hard in the future to live up to the expectations of the imperial uncle's teachings." ”

Although he was timid and cowardly, this response seemed to be similar.

Looking at Sister Yue's dress, she should look like a county lord. Obviously, after Gu Wanning took Sister Yue into the palace, he did not treat her harshly.

She's such a pride. Even if it is against the daughter of the enemy, he disdains to use the selfish methods of those women in the house.

……

Thinking of this, he was inexplicably emotionally agitated and subconsciously looked over.

Gu Wanning's face was calm, his eyes were bright, and his lips were smiling.

His heart fluttered again.

Gillian already muttered a little dissatisfied: "Father only talked to Cousin Yue today, and ignored me!"

Gillian is Xiao Xu's treasure.

He reined in his mind and smiled at Gillian: "Yes, yes, it was my father who neglected Gillian." Father, I will make up for the mistake just now and talk to you more. ”

Gillian laughed contentedly.

The older children all go to the study to study, and after a moment of gossip, they leave. Only the youngest Xiao Si remained. Xiao Si is the most lively and active age, refusing to stop for a moment, running around from time to time.

Gu Wanning was busy taking care of Xiao Si, and he had no time to talk to Xiao Xu for a while.

Xiao Xu didn't mind, and even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time he faced Gu Wanning, it was a great test for him. He was always nervous and didn't dare to slack off. has Xiao Si playing on the side, which also saves him from being acting all the time.

After a while, the little noble son came to report: "Your Majesty, the old Wang Ge sent someone to inquire, I wonder if the emperor wants to participate in the small court meeting?"

Xiao Xu quickly glanced at Gu Wanning and said deliberately: "I want to accompany A-Ning today, and I won't go to the Xiaochao meeting." ”

As expected, Gu Wanning immediately looked over with disgust: "It's all nonsense! I'll lead Xiao Si back to Jiaofang Hall first, and I don't need you to accompany me. ”

Xiao Xu smiled helplessly: "That's it, just listen to you." ”

So, the "husband and wife" went to the Jinluan Palace, and the other went back to the Jiaofang Palace.

……

He came to court for the first time, sitting on the dragon chair, and his heart was surging.

As a descendant of the Xiao family, the desire for the dragon chair is almost innate. For this dragon chair, his father and younger brother paid a tragic price, and the Qi Wangfu was almost completely killed and injured.

Now, only he and Sister Yue are left.

Fortunately, God treated him well, and after he died in despair, he gave him such a good opportunity.

“…… There was a locust plague in Jinzhou last year, and almost no grains were harvested in the fields. The old minister thought that the prefect of Jinzhou should be allowed to open a warehouse and release grain as soon as possible to appease the people. ”

Cui Ge Lao's face was solemn, and his voice was calm.

He nodded slightly: "Quasi!"

Then, Zhou Shangshu of the household department stepped forward and reported the affairs of the household department.

Then, it was Meng Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

There is no trivial matter in the DPRK and China. There are more than 50 prefectures and counties in Daqin, and there are many affairs. There are six departments of military and criminal work, and there are many tedious things every day. Some need to be decided by the Son of Heaven, and some are handled by the elders of the Pavilion, and it is enough to return to the Son of Heaven to know.

It is not uncommon for such deliberations to take two or three hours. Sometimes there are many things in the morning, and they have to go on until the afternoon. After that, it's time to review the recitals.

If you want to be a diligent man, the energy and effort you have to pay are far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Of course, he will do better than Xiao Xu.

He thought proudly, holding back the thought that was about to move.

It's too early to show its magnitude. Raise this body to be healthy as an ordinary person first, and when he is fully adapted to this identity, it is not too late to make a move.

……

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor is discussing in the Jinluan Palace today until the afternoon. After that, I slept for an hour, and then reviewed the ......"

In the Jiaofang Palace, Linglong reported one by one in a low voice.

Gu Wanning's expression was unpredictable, and he couldn't distinguish between joy and anger.

Linglong didn't understand what Gu Wanning was thinking, let alone what Gu Guanning meant by asking her to monitor the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, so she simply didn't think about anything and only acted on orders.

For four days, it was like that.

After reporting in one breath, Linglong stopped talking.

After waiting for a while, he heard Gu Wanning's faint order: "Go and call Coral in." ”

Linglong led the order to retreat.

Soon, Coral was in the dormitory.

Gu Wanning asked in a low voice, "What I asked you to prepare, have you ever prepared?"

Coral replied softly, "Yes, the slave is ready." As he spoke, he took out a very small porcelain vase from the pocket in his sleeve. Inside the porcelain vase were several tiny pills.

In terms of medical skills, coral is inferior to Xu Cang. However, she has been good at dispensing medicine since she was a child. This hand-dispensing skill has surpassed many famous doctors.

Gu Wanning held the porcelain vase, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Coral also didn't know what Gu Wanning was going to do. However, as a slave and maid, it is natural to obey the master's orders. She waited with her hands down.

Gu Wanning was not silent for too long, and quickly called Linlang and the others to come in, and gave a series of instructions.

"Pearl, you prepare a table of dishes tonight, according to the emperor's preferences, prepare a few dishes that the emperor likes. ”

"Linlang, when you go to the Funing Hall to spread the word, just say that I am ready to drink and delicate food to welcome the Holy Driver in person. ”

"Linglong, you and the master come here, I have something to tell the two of you. ”

Pearl Linlang took the order and retreated, and Linglong and Chen Yueniang stepped forward. After hearing Gu Wanning's order, both of them were stunned.

"Why did Niangniang do this?" Chen Yueniang blurted out: "Once this matter leaks out, Niangniang's reputation will be gone, and she will lose her notoriety." Please think twice!"

Linglong also echoed with a stunned face: "Yes, Niangniang." It's too risky......"

"You don't have to persuade anymore. Gu Wanning's face sank like water, and his eyes were as cold as ice: "I have made up my mind." ”
