During the parent-child time between Empress Dowager Zhou and the emperor, Gu Rujiu felt that it was a bit inappropriate for an outsider to sit here, so she opened her mouth to say goodbye.
"It's almost noon, what are you doing when you go back?" Empress Dowager Zhou even refused, "I have already asked the royal chef to prepare your favorite dishes. If you leave, wouldn't these dishes be prepared for nothing?"
Jin Yang also followed with a smile and said, "Junior sister, please don't leave, I also want to follow you to eat a meal here with your mother, if you leave, the mother will not be in the mood to eat, and I am afraid that I will eat a meal together. will also be unwelcome.”
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled at Jin Yang, nodded and replied, "Your Majesty's words are very true."
For the sake of the two of them, if Gu Rujiu continued to refuse, he would be ignorant. What's more, when she came to Kangquan Palace, she was often kept for dinner by the Queen Mother. When the emperor came over today, she insisted on leaving, which made the little emperor unhappy and put on small shoes for her father.
To know the age of the little emperor, it is the period of high incidence of secondary diseases.
Seeing that Gu Rujiu finally didn't mention the matter of leaving, the Queen Mother Zhou had an obvious smile on her face. She asked the palace attendant to exchange a cup of appetizer tea for Jin Yang and Gu Rujiu, and mentioned in front of the emperor what happened on the racecourse a few days ago. thing.
"I heard that the two girls in the accident are from the direct line?" Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at the emperor who was drinking tea with his head down and pointed, "The girls from these two families are not simple people. Be careful when dealing with these girls in the future."
"I've written it down," Gu Rujiu nodded, and then said, "The girl from the Sima family is very good." She hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything that Sima Ling had reminded her to be careful about.
In her eyes, this may just be a simple and kind reminder from the other party, but after the fall from a horse, anyone's words and deeds will be magnified a hundred times, and even ordinary concern will become something special in the eyes of others.
She doesn't have much personal friendship with Sima Ling, and their daily interactions are for face. But Sima Ling treated her with more kindness than malice, so she didn't want to use the greatest malice to speculate on a girl who was less than fifteen years old.
"The Li family..." Empress Dowager Zhou recalled a few days ago, and it seemed that someone had mentioned that the Li family seemed to intend to marry the Gu family, but the Gu family did not seem to have this intention, and then let it go. But thinking that Jiujiu girl is still young, she didn't want to mention such a thing, she opened her mouth halfway, and swallowed, "The recipe you sent me a few days ago, I have asked the royal chef to learn, wait for you. Remember to taste it and see if the kung fu learned by the royal chef has arrived home."
Gu Rujiu smiled and said yes, and the topic of the two changed from accident at the racecourse to food.
When a woman is having a good time, a man can't get in the way. Jin Yang sat silently on the side, listening to the Queen Mother's topic going further and further away. More than ten or twenty years ago, those kindnesses and grievances in the capital.
The head of the Li family was a famous Jade-faced son in the capital back then, there was a conflict between the three houses of the Sima family, or something absurd happened in the Wu family.
Jin Yang took a sip of water when he heard that the male owner of a certain family was secretly raising the outer room outside.
As expected of a woman in the capital, even her character is stronger than the women he met in Jinzhou.
He glanced at Junior Sister Gu in a ghostly manner, and seeing that she was listening with relish and a light expression in her eyes, Jin Yang finally couldn't help but coughed dryly: "Mother, noon is over."
I always felt that if my junior sister continued to listen to these "sturdy deeds", bad things might happen.
And what kind of thoughts do those men who already have a loving wife and filial son in their family would rather hurt the hearts of their wives and children than go to other women
Now he can't understand, can't understand. Are men born to spend time and money, while women are born to be husbands and children
"It's already this hour, let's get ready for dinner." Empress Dowager Zhou remembered that there was an emperor sitting in the room, and tried her best to make her face a little more serious.
Gu Rujiu stepped forward to hold Empress Dowager Zhou's hand, walked with Jin Yang on both sides of the Empress Dowager, and came to the dining room.
The palace maids filed in and waited on the three of them to wash their hands and wash their hands, and then a row of palace maids with food boxes entered slowly. After opening the food boxes, the dishes seemed to have just come out of the pot. It can be seen how fast and careful these maids are in the process of presenting the dishes.
Judging from Gu Rujiu's taste, the taste of these dishes can only be regarded as average, but under the expectant eyes of the Queen Mother, her evaluation changed from "average" to "not bad".
The queen mother also knew in her heart that the royal chefs in the palace were actually more famous as "royal chefs" than the chefs of aristocratic families who had been passed down for hundreds of years. Therefore, she was not unhappy when she heard that Gu Rujiu only commented "good". Instead, she felt that the other party was getting closer and closer to her, and she would not deliberately say flattering words to deceive her.
"It's not bad to be able to achieve five or six points." After finishing the meal, the Queen Mother Zhou said after rinsing her mouth, "The rain has stopped outside, it's not a problem to stay in the house all the time, you two accompany me outside for a walk. Walk."
Jin Yang and Gu Rujiu should be together.
In the imperial garden, there is no such scene as "apricot blossoms raining on the clothes, and the willow wind blowing on the face is not cold", because the ground is swept clean, not to mention the petals, not even a bit of dust can be seen.
Because of the spring rain for several days in a row, the slate was a little damp, and the embroidered shoes could hardly make any sound when stepping on such a slate.
So when she found out that a young woman in her twenties suddenly appeared in front of her, she was a little unclear where the other party came from.
It was not until the other party called himself "Wei's" that she probably guessed the person's identity.
As early as when the Wei family appeared, Bai Xian, who was beside Jin Yang, had already taken a step forward and quietly stood in front of Jin Yang.
I can't blame Bai Xian for being too careful, but because they were among the Jin clan of the Dafeng Dynasty, and there was really something unclear about the emperor and the concubine, so that the "tell stories" of that year are still circulating among the people.
Now the sage is still young, and the Wei family is only in his twenties. It's a good time. Even if the two of them are fine, it's not good to hear those messy words.
Fortunately, after the Zhou family became the empress dowager, Mrs. Wei finally learned ten percent of the rules that she had never been able to learn when she was the first emperor. So when she noticed that the little emperor was also accompanying her, she lowered her head and took a few steps back.
"Where is Concubine Wei going?" Empress Dowager Zhou didn't have much likes and dislikes for the Wei family, so for more than a year, she has never made anyone feel bad for Wei.
But seeing that the other party was wearing 70% new clothes and the hair accessories on his head looked a little old-fashioned, he knew that Wei Shi, who had lost the favor of the late emperor, was not having a particularly good life.
"I don't dare to ask the Queen Mother, the concubine just walks around at will." Concubine Wei was so respectful to the Queen Mother Zhou that she almost feared, and she never raised her head from beginning to end, apparently afraid that the Queen Mother would treat her harshly.
"In that case, you can do it yourself, Aijia and the two children look around." Empress Dowager Zhou withdrew her gaze lightly, and applied for calm like water.
After hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Mrs. Wei slowly raised her head and looked at the little girl who was with the Queen Mother Zhou. She wondered, which child is this, and the Queen Mother seemed to like this person very much.
She has no power or connections in the harem now, and she can't find useful information, so she is very curious when she sees a strange girl next to the queen mother.
It's just that she didn't have the courage to inquire about the news for this curiosity.
She had no children, and was the most favored concubine of the late emperor during his lifetime. If the empress dowager was cruel, she could be buried with the late emperor.
Based on this alone, she completely lost the courage to use any means in front of the Queen Mother.
"Empress Dowager?" the palace maid behind her whispered, ""The Queen Mother has gone far."
"The weather is bad today," Wei Taifei retracted her gaze, "it's not suitable for a walk, go back."
The empress dowager and the emperor visited the garden, and the Wugans and others avoided. Although the empress dowager allows her to be comfortable, it does not mean that she is really comfortable.
In the garden, Gu Rujiu stretched out her hand to pick the flowers that the Queen Mother liked, but what made people feel sad was that her arms were not long enough to come and go without picking any flowers. She even made the Queen Mother laugh. If it wasn't for her good habit of not guessing about flowers, plants and trees, she would have stepped into the flower bed now.
Seeing his junior sister jumping around, even standing on tiptoe, he couldn't pick the flowers. He glanced at his mother, who almost burst into tears, stepped forward and took a few steps, bent down and picked the flowers for Gu Rujiu.
"Give you."
Looking at the flower in his hand, and at the little emperor who smiled shyly in front of him, Gu Rujiu's mouth twitched, and two small dimples appeared on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Looking back at Empress Dowager Zhou who was still smiling, Gu Rujiu puffed up her bun face.
This is really a close aunt. When watching jokes, she doesn't take the slightest bit of subtlety.
