Since ancient times, the emperor has died, and there are actually few people who are really sad, once the son of heaven and a courtier, all of them are busy flattering the new emperor.

Even as the new emperor of his son, it is self-evident which is more important than the grief of losing his father compared to the satisfaction of being in power.

The situation of Emperor Yongtai Yu Wenzhao of the Great Zhou Dynasty is different, after all, he died after he ascended to the throne of God first, so he is still a little sincere to Emperor Xuande, and Pei Tingyu's sadness is basically pretended.

Compared with their husband and wife, Gu Chao, who was far away in Hangzhou Mansion, didn't even need to pretend.

She is no longer young, although she has been well conditioned from pregnancy to childbirth last year, her body is still a little bit of a loss, and her face is still a little pale until now.

But since that day she learned that Emperor Taishang had died, her mood has been different, Emperor Xuande is the person she hates the most in her life, and there is no one.

Putting aside her previous grievances, just by demoting Yuan Zheng from the second grade to the fourth grade, she would never have any good feelings towards Emperor Xuande again. Now that the dust has settled, with the relationship between Yuan Zheng and Yu Wenzhao, it must be that the day when she Gu Chao returns to Beijing will not be too far away.

Now that she is a child, if there is anything not satisfied, it is that Yuan Xiang is not around. The mother of the child is worried, although there are frequent correspondence and she knows that her daughter is fine with the Gongsun Divine Doctor, but she can't let go of it in her heart.

"Mother, why are you sitting alone in the shade of a tree, just after the rain and being careful of catching a cold. Doudou walked into the courtyard with a food box, and saw Gu Chao leaning on the white rattan chair with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but remind him.

Gu Chao opened her beautiful eyes, and what caught her eye was a beautiful jade face that she was all too familiar with, but she couldn't tell whether it was sour or bitter in her heart.

This kind of taste is not experienced by others at all, she and Gu Xi were born and grew up together, from an ignorant naughty boy to a young girl, from the beginning of the grace to the stunning city, how beautiful the other party is, how beautiful she is, no need to envy, let alone jealousy.

And now it's completely different, the person next to him still has the same face, and the person is a small lotus who only shows sharp corners, and the cardamom tips are in early February. What about yourself? How can people bear the twilight of the beauty of the West Mountain......

"Yuan'er, why are you here?" Gu Chao was uncomfortable in his heart, and asked lazily.

No matter how smart Doudou is, he won't know what Gu Chao is thinking at this time, she smiled and said: "My daughter learned to stew a wolfberry, red dates and black chicken soup today, and the master said that it was especially suitable for her mother, so she brought it over to her mother to taste." ”

Gu Chao patted Doudou's little hand and smiled slightly: "Yuan'er has a heart." ”

"Mother seems to have something on her mind today, is she missing her sister?" Doudou sat down beside Gu Chao and asked tentatively.

Gu Chao let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "Xiang'er has been gone for more than four years, and she will be thirteen years old when she speaks, I don't know when I will be able to come back, and your father is too, and I don't have a letter when I can return to the capital, I don't ...... this heart."

Doudou can fully understand what she means, the girls of Da Zhou generally start to discuss marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and they can get married after they are married, but at this time, Gu Chao is most anxious not about when Yuan Xiang will come back, but that Yuan Zheng will not be able to return to Beijing for a long time.

In the eyes of a noble woman like Gu Chao, a suitable son-in-law candidate could only be among the noble children of the capital, and it must also be some particularly high-ranking families.

Doudou is quite unimpressed with this, although there are many talents in the capital, but more than half of the noble children are noble, such as the father of the noble children can be said to be rare, and in her opinion, the powerful man may not be a good husband.

In recent years, it can be seen from Yuan Xiang's letter that her health has improved a lot, and what has changed more is her personality. In the past, Yuan Xiang could not adapt to the intrigue of the Gaomen Inner House, but now Yuan Xiang, who is accustomed to being free, probably disdains that kind of life.

But how could Gu Chao listen to such words, Doudou had no choice but to smile and said: "Mother can rest assured, my father has been out for so many years, and his career will definitely be accessible after returning to Beijing." As for my sister, I don't have to worry about it, she has a good character and appearance, and she will definitely be able to find a good son-in-law. ”

Knowing that such words were not painful or itchy, Gu Chao was still extremely happy to hear it, and even the soup sent by Doudou tasted extremely sweet.

"Yuan'er, did you go to Shaoxing Mansion to see your cousin Fu's mother this time?" Gu Chao was in a good mood and was willing to say a few more words to Doudou, so he couldn't help but mention the handsome young master of the Fu family.

"Cousin Fu?" Doudou was a little surprised, Gu Chao has always not taken other people's affairs to heart, but today is a little different, "I only saw my aunt and grandmother this time, and Mrs. Fu stayed in Changsha Mansion and didn't come with me." ”

"Mother just wants to remind you, don't be deceived by Fu Shaoyun's little white face, his mother's woman is not easy to get along. Gu Chao rarely cared about Doudou sincerely.

No matter how old or young women are, most of them like to get together and discuss a few words about the rights and wrongs of other people's families, but Gu Chao has always been very noble and cold in front of Doudou, and today she put on a look of "I know a lot of inside stories, so if you want to know, ask quickly", this mutation made her really unbearable.

But she can't pour cold water on her mother's rare enthusiasm, Doudou pursed her lips and said, "Mother knows Mrs. Fu?"

Gu Chao leaned into Doudou's ear and said in a deep voice: "You know that you are not allowed to tell others in the future, I heard about it from me." ”

Doudou nodded with a smile, the sun must have come out of the west today, and her mother became almost unknown to her.

Gu Chao sat up straight again and said: "Mrs. Fu's surname is He, her maiden name is Xinrou, she is the daughter of the Bofu in Changping, the capital, she is about the same age as me, and we have had a few encounters in the past. ”

Doudou immediately understood that a title like Earl Changping was not a first-class family at first glance, and his mother's eyes were long...... Belch...... The noble lady on the top of her head, she said that she had probably met a few times, and it was rare that she could still remember it to this day.

"Don't look at Fu Shaoyun as handsome, his mother doesn't look very good. However, although the Changping Bofu is not powerful, there are many profitable businesses in the mansion, and it is one of the richest among the nobles. But it is precisely because of this that many people look down on their house. Gu Chao said, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Ga? Rich and noble are still looked down upon, these people are sick? Doudou is confused.

Gu Chao said with a smile: "You don't understand this, although every family in the high-ranking family in Beijing has a shop, but there is no one like Changping Bofu, even the masters in the mansion openly go out to do business, what is the difference between them and those merchants?"

The status of merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty has risen compared to the previous dynasty, but how can a noble girl like Gu Chao look up to merchants.

However, Doudou is not Gu Chao, and she has no prejudice against businessmen, and the cousin Xie Min she likes is still in business!

"But no matter how Mrs. Fu says it, she is also a noble girl in Beijing, how can she marry an uncle of the Fu family who is thousands of miles away?" Doudou couldn't understand this the most, and looked at Gu Chao with a smile.
