The little petite bag of the fourth master of Qingchuan

Chapter 431
The days that followed were busy.

Yinzhen led all the officials and important officials to the Fengxian Hall to pay homage to the ancestors, and then ordered the king, Baylor, Beizi, the public, and ministers of civil and military affairs to pay their respects in the Qianqing Gate.

He also named the eighth elder brother Yunyu and the thirteenth elder brother Yunxiang as princes, and the son of the deposed prince did not ignore him - he became the king of the county.

During Kangxi's funeral, Yinzhen cried until he almost passed out.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since I moved into the Forbidden City.

The weather has gradually cooled down, the heat of summer is no longer there, and the autumn is getting stronger and stronger—it seems that it is almost the Golden Festival.

At this time, the identities of Hong Yun and Hong Hui have become the elder brothers, and Er Gege has become a princess.

San Gege was also chased down.

The emperor had just ascended the throne, and although he was not in a hurry to establish a crown prince——but as Brother Hongyun's biological mother was raised up and became a queen, the meaning of this was self-evident.

Everyone in the court acquiesced to treat Hong Yun as a prince.

After the Queen's Conferment Ceremony, Gu Yaoyao found that her life is far from being free and easy in the palace.

Although it seems on the surface, the emperor's mind is on political affairs.

The number of concubines in the harem was pitifully small compared to when the first emperor was there.

But as a queen, it's not just concubines from the sixth palace that she has to see every day.

In addition, the imperial family wives outside sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze in to kowtow to the empress and smile with them.

In addition - the queen mother is not idle, since she moved into Ningshou Palace, the queen mother's body has been getting worse day by day.

As a queen and daughter-in-law, Gu Yaoyao needs to pay her respects every day.

She watched helplessly as the complexion on the Empress Dowager's face became more and more haggard day by day - there seemed to be a layer of evil blackness floating on the whole body.

The people who prescribe medicines for the Empress Dowager's pulse are all old people from the Tai Hospital, and sometimes when Gu Yaoyao comes over, she can bump into the Tai Physician and come out.

Seeing the empress come here, the imperial physician put down the suitcase, knelt down and kowtow respectfully.

Sometimes Gu Yaoyao also wanted to ask the imperial doctor—how is the Queen Mother's condition?

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them silently.

These imperial physicians came here by Yinzhen's name.

Sometimes when Gu Yaoyao thinks about this level, she doesn't dare to think about it further.

I really can't think about it anymore.

……

Here she runs diligently for the empress dowager in the morning and evening, and Yinzhen is not idle there.

According to what he said in front of all civil and military officials: I am very sad when the first emperor passed away, not to mention the empress dowager is old, and too much grief may be bad for her health.

Therefore, in order to show the emperor's filial piety, Yinzhen will go to ask the Queen Mother every day.

When Gu Yaoyao heard the news, her heart skipped a beat.

"The concubine went to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects. I dare not say that I have done my filial piety for the emperor, but I always have my heart. Ningshou Palace must also accept it."

Taking advantage of the dinner, she picked up some food with chopsticks for Yin Zhen, and said softly.

What Gu Yaoyao meant was: Now that the new emperor is on the throne, everything is complicated, and Yinzhen may not have the time and energy to visit the queen mother.

Since she was a queen, she could represent his filial piety in the past.

Why should the husband and wife both run over there like a baton?

You must know that Yinzhen has to offer incense and lay a ceremony to the late emperor five times a day while he is still serving filial piety.

He is busy enough.

Sometimes when Gu Yaoyao wakes up at night, she can still see the lights on.

Dimly, she thought that Yinzhen was getting up and was about to go up, but after thinking about it, she realized: How could he be getting up?
Basically stayed up all night without sleep.

……

Under the light, Yinzhen paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, and raised his gaze.

Probably thinking of the Queen Mother, he cast a gloomy look at Gu Yaoyao.

Gu Yaoyao subconsciously felt that he was going to do something.

Sure enough—from the second day on, Yinzhen started the kind "greeting" mode to Wu Yashi every day.

It's just that the time was chosen a bit early - around 03:30 in the morning.

The reason for choosing this time is also very reasonable-long live the day is full of opportunities, the only private time that can be squeezed out is the period before going to court in the morning.

It can be seen that Long live is more filial to the Queen Mother!
Gu Yaoyao can imagine the collapse of Wu Yashi - if a person is not feeling well, but sleeps until 03:30 every night, he has to be woken up by the people around him, and then he is told that the emperor is coming to see you .

This……

This is not as good as the Queen's greeting.

If it is Gu Yaoyao asking for peace, the queen mother can refuse to say that she is not feeling well, knowing the queen's intentions, let the queen go back.

After all, they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But Yinzhen went to pay his respects in person—it was the emperor.

It's always bad.

Yinzhen continued to "greet" the Queen Mother for a month, and then stopped with a lot of meaning.

……

In the twelfth lunar month, the repair work of the apse of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was finally completed - Gu Yaoyao had just returned from Ningshou Palace that day, and was dragged by Yinzhen to look at it.

He looked excited, as if eager to claim credit.

Gu Yaoyao was dragged to the back of the Hall of Mental Cultivation by him, and he knew why he was so proud.

In the apse, apart from the expanded rooms, there is also a super beautiful flower dock—although it is winter at this time, but I don’t know how the craftsmen designed it ingeniously. There is a small warm water pool.

The flower dock was originally a shape with high sides and a concave shape in the middle. Now with the addition of a warm water pool-the earth is warm, and some flower varieties that are not hardy to cold can be planted.

It's not over yet.

Yinzhen took her hand and walked to a small fancy room next to her, and saw that the windows were bright and clean.

It is said that the previous dynasty used to be the place where Emperor Jiajing used to rest while practicing Taoism and alchemy. At this time, it was also changed into a small study.

However, it is said to be a small study room - but the layout style in it can be seen that it is for women.

This is the queen's study.

Or—whatever the Empress wanted to do with the room.

For example, making incense.

Gu Yaoyao was happy watching it.

She wandered around the room, pushing open the window to see the light, stretching out her hand and gesticulating the treasure shelf, silently calculating how to put her bottles and jars in her heart.

Yinzhen was by her side, seeing her smiling happily, he couldn't help smiling too.

Don't look at the smallness of this place - it is indeed not very spacious for the emperor and empress to live together.

But there are so many palaces in the Forbidden City, and Wan Sui kept the vacant palaces to prevent the queen from going, so he wanted to gather behind his own Hall of Mental Cultivation.

This is the best proof of the queen's favor.

……

Years ago, the Empress Dowager passed away.

When he heard the news, Yinzhen was critiquing papers in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and Gu Yaoyao had just coaxed Hongli and Wu Gege to sleep.

As the children grow bigger and bigger, there are more and more tricks, and it is more and more difficult to put them to sleep.

Seeing Hongli lie down honestly with difficulty, Gu Yaoyao asked the servants to take care of him carefully, and then walked out of the room lightly.

She ordered the dining room to prepare supper before, and the supper had already been delivered by this time.

Gu Yaoyao personally carried the food box and came to the front hall to persuade Yinzhen to take a rest.

She put down the food box next to the imperial case, Yinzhen looked up and saw her, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and asked her in a low voice: "Is the child asleep?"

Gu Yaoyao nodded, and just after the two of them exchanged a few words, people from Ningshou Palace outside stumbled over to report.
