1971 Chapter 1971-opportunity
Other than the Gu family, Xue family, and King Kang’s residence, the Peng family, Huo family, and Duke Zhengguo were not used to having such a normal meal with the Grand Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress.
Old lady Huo was fine. She was with grandma Gu and could chat with the Empress Dowager for a while. Old master Huo, Prime Minister Huo, and Huo Yanyu’s parents were all a little worried. The Grand Empress Dowager was kind, telling them not to be nervous and to just treat it as a Palace Banquet.
The Emperor did not mind the Empress Dowager’s words at all. At this moment, the Huo father and son finally understood that the rumors were not false. It was not like what was said in private that the two families were not on good terms. They were like a family, a family that loved each other.
The Emperor saw uncle Gu winking at him and found an excuse to go to the side with him. When he heard that, he thought,”revenge for sister Xiao Jia? well, I’ll count in.”
The Emperor was younger than Zhou Yujia, but he had met Zhou Yujia when he was a teenager. He admired Zhou Yujia very much and even thought that if Zhou Yujia had not married that Lu guy, he would have probably sent her to the palace. Therefore, he liked revenge very much.
The Emperor liked Empress Xue, but he did not only like Empress Xue. In the past twenty years of being the Emperor, he had also truly liked the concubines other than Empress Xue. However, he clearly understood who would accompany him to the end. He respected Empress Xue and also loved her. After being held back by the Lin family, he slowly grew older, so he did not fall in love with the concubines in the harem like he did when he was young.
Other than the seventh Prince, who was born to noble consort Lin, the Emperor only allowed the existence of the other princes and princesses ‘mothers because he liked them. Moreover, he treated these concubines very well. Unless you were on noble consort Lin’s side, he would be very generous to you. It was just that he would not step into your room again in recent years.
The two brothers returned to their seats. With Majesty Kang and Lord Cheng ‘en, the drinking session was complete.
Old master Huo didn’t want to see the Emperor like this, so he tried his best to talk to old master Peng and old master Gu. He didn’t want to see it, he didn’t want to see it!
As for Prime Minister Huo and third master Huo, they were chatting with general Peng and fourth uncle Gu shouxin. They had a good time.
On the Empress ‘side, they also got along very well. With her experience of pregnancy and childbirth in kunzhou, the Empress was already very familiar with the three sisters-in-law of the Gu family. She could even chat with Madam Zhang. The madams of the Huo family, the Peng family, consort Kang, and Madam Xue were more lively than the men drinking.
Consort Kang and Madam Xue had invited Empress Xue to play mahjong after dinner. Empress Xue was worried about The Little Prince.
Consort Kang had told Empress Xue that The Little Prince could go to a nursery and play with the younger members of the Gu family. It was very fun there, and the children would definitely like it.
Afraid that no one would be watching? Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I have so many brothers and sisters, what am I afraid of? He told Xinxin sisi and Xue ‘er to go over there and watch. Little girls shouldn’t be addicted to Mahjong. There would be more opportunities when they grew up!
The sisters-in-law of the Gu family agreed.
Thus, after the meal, Empress Xue was taken by the madams of the various families to the nursery. Well, Empress Xue was not worried at all about leaving the Crown Prince there and then playing mahjong with everyone.
When Gu Ren saw this, he rubbed his hands together.’Hehe, little master, here’s my chance. I’ll be able to test whether you’re from the same race as me tonight.’
After the adults left, Gu Ren slowly walked to The Little Prince who was playing with building blocks with little seven and the others.
