Chapter 666: Win-Win
All the way into the Queen Mother's Palace, Yang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the Queen Mother. Although Empress Dowager Tu didn't look very good, it wasn't as she imagined.
After Yang Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, he stepped forward to say goodbye to Empress Dowager Tu.
Empress Dowager Tu originally closed her eyes and kept her mind, but when she heard Yang Yunxi's voice, she opened her eyes: "You are here." β
Empress Dowager Tu's voice sounded much older and weaker than before. But it's still kind, and it sounds inexplicably warm in people's hearts.
"Yes, Aunt Yun said that the Queen Mother, do you want to see me?" Yang Yunxi took the opportunity to sit down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to help the Queen Mother sit up, and thoughtfully stuffed a pillow behind the Queen Mother Tu.
Empress Dowager Tu didn't have much strength on her body, and she didn't move after leaning on the pillow, but just looked at Yang Yunxi: "You have lost some weight, why are you tired these days?" Don't be too tired of yourself, now the womb is supported by you. β
Yang Yunxi understood what Empress Dowager Tu meant: Now that Gu Qingyu is gone, she is the person with the highest rank in the Imperial Palace, and the responsibility of managing those people in the Imperial Palace naturally falls on her head.
Yang Yunxi nodded: "Queen Mother, don't worry, I will take a good look at it in the womb." I will also take good care of Ah Shi, and I will not be selfish. β
Empress Dowager Tu blinked her eyes and nodded with this instead: "I naturally believe in you." β
When Yang Yunxi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, just now she was really afraid that she would hear something similar to what the county lord of Runing said today from the mouth of Empress Dowager Tu.
If even Empress Dowager Tu said something questioning her, she would definitely feel chills in her heart.
And Empress Dowager Tu's sentence "I believe in you" made her heart warm and comfortable more than anything else.
Sometimes, even the difference in one sentence brings completely different effects. Yang Yunxi choked up slightly at such an instant.
She lowered her head in disguise, blocking her slightly reddened eyes.
"I've heard about today's events, too." Empress Dowager Tu sighed softly: "Ru Ning, she is also too heavy and thinks too much." She has always been strong, but now that Qingyu is so gone, she naturally can't afford to miss a little. You have to be considerate of her for that. β
Yang Yunxi bowed his head and said nothing, and only said after a long time: "I naturally understand." When Empress Dowager Tu said this, she was not surprised at all. In fact, after hearing that Empress Dowager Tu knew about today's events, she guessed that Empress Dowager Tu would say so.
At this time, Aunt Yun came in with the medicine, and handed it to Yang Yunxi without thinking about it: "Concubine Fang is here to serve the Queen Mother with medicine." The Queen Mother is now more and more unwilling to use medicine obediently. β
Yang Yunxi sighed, "Queen Mother, you too, why don't you refuse to use medicine?" It's even more worrying than a small bug. β
Yang Yunxi's complaint seemed to be true and false, but it made Empress Dowager Tu laugh: "In this way, I am not even as good as a little worm." β
Yang Yunxi just pursed his lips and smiled, stirring the medicinal juice to dry while laughing, and then said, "Isn't it better?" The little worm now drinks all the medicine by himself, but after drinking the medicine, he has to eat candy. The Queen Mother, you can't be compared to your great-granddaughter. β
Empress Dowager Tu smiled again and again: "Okay, well, I also drank the medicine in one go." β
Yang Yunxi achieved his goal, but he didn't say anything more, and served Empress Dowager Tu with a smile to finish the medicine.
Empress Dowager Tu drank the medicine, and after taking another piece of candied fruit to suppress the bitter taste, she said vaguely: "Actually, calling you here today is also Qingyu's entrustment." β
When Yang Yunxi heard this, he was shocked, the spoon and bowl slammed slightly, and made a crisp sound, and then he came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and asked, "The crown princess's entrustment?" But what did the crown princess tell the queen mother before? β
Empress Dowager Tu nodded. "Qing Yu is indeed a thoughtful person, before he said this to me, I still felt that she was too worried, but now it seems that she is indeed planning for a rainy day."
Hearing this, Yang Yunxi involuntarily straightened his back and sat upright. Then she said, "The Queen Mother, you said." I listened carefully. β
"Qing Yu wants you to recognize the Gu family." Empress Dowager Tu looked at Yang Yunxi, looked at Yang Yunxi without blinking, and didn't miss the expression on Yang Yunxi's face at all.
After Yang Yunxi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This proposal is really a bit abrupt, and it is a little difficult to accept for a while.
Empress Dowager Tu looked at Yang Yunxi like this, and smiled: "I know you feel strange and awkward in your heart, but there is nothing to refuse when you think about this matter." This is indeed a good thing, you say? β
Yang Yunxi's fingers tightened, and then let go. She stretched out her hand and silently kneaded Empress Dowager Tu's arm while thinking for a while. Finally, he sighed: "I also know it's a good thing, but now I'm in trouble with the Lord of Runingβ"
After all, if she wants to recognize a godfather, it's not that she agrees. It depends on the meaning of the ancient family.
In fact, this matter has really come to pass, and it is indeed a win-win situation. Just like Empress Dowager Tu said, this matter is really a good thing. Yes, Yang Yunxi is yes, and so is the Gu family.
For Yang Yunxi, if he wants to stabilize his position in the future, it is the best thing to rely on the Gu family. With the support of the Gu family, it is not impossible for her to compete for the position of Zhu Li's step-concubine in the future.
Not to mention that she still has Ah Shi, it is natural for her to be close to the Gu family.
And for the Gu family, it is not very beneficial to practice with Yang Yunxi for the time being, but what about after a long time? Yang Yunxi is the person Zhu Li cares about, if Yang Yunxi is towards the Gu family and close to the Gu family, if Zhu Li has any opinions on the Gu family, for the sake of Yang Yunxi, he will not be able to open the net.
Such a win-win situation is indeed a choice that Gu Qingyu can make.
Empress Dowager Tu also understood Yang Yunxi's hesitation: "Ru Ning is indeed inconsiderate in doing things this time, and it is natural for you to have complaints in your heart." It's just that this thing is indeed a good thing, and you think about it carefully. β
"What did the crown princess say about this?" Yang Yunxi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
Empress Dowager Tu sighed: "Qing Yu said, if the relationship between you and the Gu family is not stiff, there is no need to mention this matter." If there is a rift between you and the Gu family. It's for me to be the middle of the story. I also sent someone to invite the county lord of Runing, and in front of me, you can talk about this matter. β
