Mrs. Yang walked into the yard of her youngest daughter, and saw that the servants inside were well-ordered and orderly, and nodded with satisfaction.
Since her daughter was eight years old, she has lived alone in a yard. Most of the servants in the yard are trained by the second daughter herself. She only comes to check occasionally and does not interfere too much.
"Mother?" Gu Rujiu was finishing her bath, she sat by the window and let some maids wipe her hair. Seeing Mrs. Yang coming in, she got up and greeted her.
"It's so late, why are you still taking a shower?" Yang took the cotton cloth from Qiu Luo's hand and continued to wipe Gu Rujiu's hair, "It's cold at night, so be careful not to have a headache."
"I still think it's hot." Gu Rujiu sat obediently with a smile, letting Mrs Yang train her while wiping her hair.
"No matter how hot it is, it's already night," Mrs Yang changed another soft cloth to avoid hurting her hair, "Tomorrow your father will bring you into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, I can't accompany you to face the saint, so I have to talk to you about some things. you say."
Baolu and several other maidservants withdrew softly, leaving the mother and daughter alone in the house.
"After this incident, the emperor will take the opportunity to seize the power of the court. I was worried that your cousin would fall out with the emperor. It seems that I think too much." If the Queen Mother Zhou has the heart to fall out with the emperor, then Even if this notice can be officially issued, the content will not be so beneficial to the emperor.
The notice stated that the ancestors dreamed of the young emperor, saying that there was a big event in Beijing, but there was no name for the ground movement. If the earthquake did not happen, it would not be difficult for a so-called "big event" to happen in this place in the capital, so the emperor would not fall into a state of doom.
As long as the Queen Mother of Zhou has the slightest intention to fight for power, she can use this to turn the emperor into a veritable puppet emperor. But Empress Dowager Zhou did not do this. Instead, she pushed the emperor up with all her might, trying to cultivate him into a real wise master.
"After the emperor has seized the power of the court, there will be more people in the court who want to squeeze in front of him to please him." Yang touched her daughter's hair, making sure that it had dried a lot before putting down the cloth in her hand, "The emperor His biological mother is a member of the Sima clan, this time the Sima family was hit a lot by the earthquake, not only precious antiques were smashed a lot, but even many precious books were also damaged in the torrential rain the next day after the earthquake." Speaking of this, Yang's face showed a somewhat complicated smile, "After this incident, the Sima family will definitely bow their heads to the emperor, and the people from the third house of their family are still preparing to become officials in the court. If they don't bow their heads to the emperor, how can they climb in the future? to the top?"
Gu Rujiu is a little puzzled. The reason why the aristocratic family has the confidence to face the royal family is because they have a lot of things that the poor family can't learn. How could she hear from her mother that it was not as beautiful as she imagined
"The current aristocratic family is no longer the aristocratic family of a hundred years ago," Yang Shi sighed, but did not explain this to his daughter, but said, "I am telling you this, not to talk about the Sima family, but to let you understand now. The situation is well known.”
Gu Rujiu blinked, her big eyes flickering at Yang Shi.
Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs Yang smiled helplessly: "Forget it, you are still young, so you don't need to worry about those things."
There are two girls in the Sima family who have not left the cabinet. They are about the same age as the emperor. I am afraid that the Sima family will think about marrying the royal family.
She glanced at her daughter who was still ignorant. It was better not to let her know about such a mess.
The mother and daughter talked for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Yang was worried about affecting her daughter's rest, so she left Gu Rujiu's yard after a few words.
Gu Rujiu lay on the bed, covered with a silky and cool quilt, and thought in a daze that this little emperor seemed to have a physique of "whoever can't get along with him will be unlucky", and the Sima family is a living example.
The next morning, Gu Rujiu entered the palace behind his father Gu Changling, but this time it was not the Queen Mother's Kangquan Palace, but the Qiankun Palace where the emperor lived.
Qiankun is heaven and earth, and the emperor resides in Qiankun, which is the meaning of setting the world. From the name of the palace, we can see what kind of ambition the founding emperor of Feng Dynasty had more than 100 years ago.
Outside the Zichen Hall of Qiankun Palace, Bai Xian had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Gu Houye walking towards this side with a little girl from a distance, he squeezed a smile on his face. When Gu Changling approached, he stepped forward and greeted him a few steps: "Gu Hou is polite, the young lady is polite, the emperor is already waiting for the two in the hall."
"It's work." Gu Changling nodded politely to Bai Xian.
Gu Rujiu has no title on her body, her father is a marquis, and it is more appropriate for Bai Xianzun to call her a "female son". Aware of the kindness released by the other party, Gu Rujiu stopped and smiled at Bai Xian.
Most of today's people despise eunuchs, and people from aristocratic families uphold their superiority in their bones.
Therefore, when Gu Rujiu showed a bright smile to Bai Xian, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while after going through thousands of times. When he woke up, the young lady had followed behind Gu Hou and walked towards the door of the main hall. When he stepped on the threshold of the main hall, Gu Hou also turned around and took the young lady's hand, and only released her hand after she stepped over.
The father and daughter acted naturally and cooperated tacitly, as if this kind of thing had happened many times before.
Sure enough, as rumored, she is a beloved little girl. Bai Xian couldn't help but think of the saint, the days of the saint in the palace, compared with this young lady, was simply a world of difference.
The female official of Zichen Hall led the two into the inner hall, and Gu Rujiu saw a beautiful young man sitting at the head, wearing a soft dark purple silk robe on his body, wearing a rare noble air.
"The minister and daughter have seen the saint." For the first time to formally meet the emperor, Gu Rujiu bent his right leg back, bowed his head and bowed his knees, put his hands on his chest, and made a big salute.
"Sir and junior sister don't need to be too polite." Jin Yang did not meet the courtier's daughter alone. Although the little girl's father was still in the hall, he was still a little cautious that others could not notice. Calling Gu Rujiu Junior Sister was what he called after careful consideration.
Gu Hou is his respected teacher, and the teacher's daughter is naturally his sister. It's okay to call him that in private.
Hearing the emperor calling his daughter junior sister, Gu Changling drooped his eyelids and said, "The emperor can't do this."
"I know Mr.'s concerns, but it's just a private address, and others won't know." Jin Yang smiled and greeted the two to sit down. While talking to Gu Changling, he occasionally glanced at the seat from the corner of his eye The girl who is waiting for the next head.
"Cough," Gu Changling coughed dry, noticing the little emperor's curious gaze towards his daughter. Pulling back the Emperor's attention, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I will summon ministers and daughters today..."
"It wasn't a big deal at first, but I heard that the young lady often accompanies her mother to make her feel happy, so today I want to express my gratitude to the young lady by taking advantage of her husband's presence." Jin Yang carefully glanced at Gu Rujiu again, Mr. Gu's daughter is the oldest It's so cute, white and soft, like a little rabbit that people can't help but want to hold in their palms.
"The ministers and daughters are ashamed to be thanked by the saints. The queen mother is the aunt of the ministers and daughters. It is only natural for the younger generation to be filial to the elders." Gu Rujiu stood up and smiled innocently at Jin Yang.
Jin Yang turned his eyes away with red ears, and subconsciously touched the jade pendant on his waist and said, "Then you will go to the palace to accompany your mother more in the future." After saying this, Jin Yang regretted it again, and he said it a little bit. Stiff, a sweet and sweet little girl like Junior Sister Gu, will she misunderstand that she is dissatisfied with her
Gu Rujiu looked at the beautiful young man holding the jade pendant, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly, what a beautiful young man, with this face, he can eat an extra bowl of rice every day.
"Have you all met?" Fortunately, Queen Mother Zhou walked in at this time. She spent more time with the emperor, so she could see his discomfort at a glance, and there was nothing wrong with turning her head and seeing the expression for a long time, so she knew the emperor. Seeing that the little girl was embarrassed, she said, "Since the emperor let Jiujiu go to the palace to accompany me, he should give her a good name."
Well, she asked for the title of the girl she liked so simply and rudely.
"The queen mother's words are polite, and the daughter of Mr. Gu's family should be respected by the title," Jin Yang nodded. "It's a pity that the girl is too young, so she temporarily conferred the position of the county king and 500 households in the food town. When you leave the pavilion, I will Seal it again."
Although he has the heart to give face to the queen mother and Mr. Gu, but Mr. Gu is only a marquis now, and the young lady is only ten years old. The grace of her, instead of leaving her with a title without substance.
It turned out that her nickname was Jiujiu, but she was as cute as she was.
When she is married to a loved one in the future, it will be fine if she can be sealed by herself.
Gu Rujiu, who was sitting next to her, was a little dumbfounded when she saw that the emperor and the empress dowager insisted on giving her a title, and her father repeatedly refused to accept the drama. Could it be that the so-called face saint today is just to give her a title
Although the county lord is only a fifth-rank noble, and she has no feudal lands, she is not very prominent, but she has a good reputation. Who would despise her with one more title
In the end, the award show ended with Gu Changling's refusal, so he had to give a big gift to thank the grace.
It's a beautiful picture of a king and a minister.
When Miss Gu Er, the ruler of Xinjin County, got into the carriage and left the palace, she couldn't help thinking that if the little emperor had always treated the Gu family with such trust and respect, she sincerely hoped that he would live a long life and be safe every year.
She doesn't have any advantages, but she is more pragmatic.
