The little petite bag of the fourth master of Qingchuan

Chapter 432
Several eunuchs serving the imperial court in the room all knelt down—weeping softly.

Don't cry, definitely not.

But if it was the way the late emperor cried when he died, the crying would be too loud—I'm afraid Wansui may not be happy in his heart.

After the trial, Yinzhen dropped the pen in his hand and covered his face and wept bitterly.

Gu Yaoyao is the queen, so she quickly came over to support and persuade him: "Long live the day! It's important to take care of yourself!"

The harder she persuaded, the more emotionally Yinzhen cried here.

He stood up tremblingly, looking extremely sad, as if he was going to Ningshou Palace to see off the Empress Dowager, but he took a few steps and staggered.

Gu Yaoyao rushed forward and hugged Su Peisheng's waist almost at the same time: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

In the house, after a while, Hongli and Wu Gege were also waited on and put on their clothes.

The children were all sleepy, and the two brothers and sisters stood in a row, looking at Gu Yaoyao in a daze - they knew something serious was going on.

Gu Yaoyao directed the servants to prepare all the mourning clothes that the young masters would wear, and then it would depend on the situation at Wansui.

When Hongli heard that his grandmother was gone, his small mouth curled down on his chubby face.

He is now four or five years old, and he can vaguely realize what is going on between life and death—probably the adults have gone to another world and will never come back.

We will never see each other again.

Hongli felt a little uncomfortable: "Er Niang..."

He silently lowered his little head, and scratched his head with his two little hands in distress.

Grandma had hugged him several times before.

……

The empress dowager passed away, and Long Live added another layer of pain to the death of the first emperor, so as a son of man, he was heartbroken.

The civil and military ministers were all moved, and wept bitterly with the emperor.

First, the first emperor passed away, and then the empress dowager followed the first emperor - so in this year, there were basically no celebrations in the palace.

……

With the beginning of the new year, everything has a new look.

It is the first year of Yongzheng.

Er Gege had already given birth last autumn and gave birth to a little elder brother.

Gu Yaoyao went to see her daughter at the Princess House in person.

After Wansui ascended the throne, Er Gege had already moved into the new princess mansion—the old nuns, maids and other old people had all been brought in.

In addition, there are a large number of slaves arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

For Er Gege—Gu Yaoyao's only worry is that this daughter is too sensible, Er Gege and San Gege are just at the two extremes of personality.

A child who is too sensible will inevitably only report good news but not bad news.

"Is everything okay?"

While Er Gege's husband-in-law was away, Gu Yaoyao took Er Gege's hand and sat down, asking her in a low voice.

Er Gege naturally knew what he was asking, and his face blushed slightly: "It's all good, don't worry, Queen Mother."

She asked someone to take the child out to show Gu Yaoyao—although it was still a baby in swaddling clothes, she could already tell that his facial features were very similar to his father's.

But looking at this face, Gu Yaoyao remembered another portrait he had seen before.

Then I thought of Sangege.

She was not only a little dejected.

When Er Gege gave birth, Gu Yaoyao rushed over that day - but the little doll she was looking at at that time was just a red and wrinkled lump of flesh.

Coupled with the fact that he was crying hoarsely, he couldn't tell what he looked like at all.

But it's different now.

Gu Yaoyao hugged the baby, and slowly lowered her head to touch his cheek.

……

When I came back to the palace, it was getting late.

That is to say, the empress favors her so easily.

Otherwise, with the respect of a queen, how could it be so simple?
Not even to visit his own daughter.

In fact, Gu Yaoyao can call Ergege into the palace - in that case, the mother and daughter can also meet and talk.

But whoever's child loves her most - Er Gege is her daughter, and it's only been a few months since she gave birth to her baby.

Gu Yaoyao was reluctant to let Er Gege get in the car and run around.

She returned to the back hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation—she was washed and changed by the servants, and she ate a few simple vegetarian meals. I heard that Wan Sui is still discussing important matters with the ministers at Long Zongmen, and has not come back.

Long Zongmen selected only those who were close and secret in the cabinet to join the ranks. The general courtiers would not even be allowed to get in, let alone approach them.

When Gu Yaoyao listened, she knew that in a few years, the place would probably become a military aircraft department.

She was tired from running today, so she waved her hand to let the servant go down, but Erman had just gone out on the front foot, and Su Peisheng came on the back foot.

Come to pass a word to the empress--it is Long Live to let the empress rest first, he will discuss important matters at Longzongmen, if it is late, he will go directly to court from there the next day.

He told the queen not to wait for him.

Gu Yaoyao sighed after listening.

Yinzhen, this is... going to stay up all night again.

He knew how to love her and cherish her body - he was afraid that she would stay up all night waiting for him, so he asked someone to tell her.

But what about himself?

Gu Yaoyao nodded, indicating that she knew, and then asked Su Peisheng to go back—and before leaving, he asked Erman to bring a box of sweet-scented osmanthus jelly with him.

Give a copy to Long Live, and send a copy to Elder Brother's office.

This is not a supper, but a fragrant mouth.

……

In elder brother's office, Hong Yun is studying.

Hearing that Aunt Erman, Erniang, came over to bring him supper, Hongyun put down his pen and asked Erman to be brought in.

While Erman was still waiting outside, he was already surrounded by servants here. This one wanted to move the stool, and the other wanted to serve tea...

When she came in with a food box in her hand, she first saluted brother Hongyun with a smile, and then said that this was the sweet-scented osmanthus jelly that the empress had specially asked to send.

Although it looks like the taste is a little sweet and greasy, it is actually very light in the mouth.

While talking, Erman opened the lid of the food box.

Osmanthus jelly is made with osmanthus, lotus root starch, rock sugar, and honey—the golden osmanthus is sprinkled inside, or it is crystal clear.

Very tasteful.

Take a sip with a small spoon and put it into your mouth. The icy sweet-scented osmanthus jelly slides down your throat and into your stomach.

……

Hong Yun was exhausted from reading, it was time to change his mind, the eunuchs came to serve him with bowls and spoons, and when the sweet-scented osmanthus jelly was finished, Hong Yun raised his head and asked Erman to pass a message.

Said that he would go to see his mother the day after tomorrow.

While Erman agreed, he watched elder brother Hongyun's eyes turn red from reading - there were a few bright red streaks on the whites of his eyes.

It looks like it's boiled.

Brother Hongyun could be regarded as the one they watched and grew up. Seeing this, Erman was distressed and just wanted to persuade a few words, but the words were swallowed again.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she said a few words about this matter to the empress.

The room was very quiet, with heavy curtains hanging down and incense curling around. In front of the mirror on the dressing table, the maids cooperated neatly and were waiting for the empress to remove the hairpin from her head.

After hearing what Erman said about the situation there, Gu Yaoyao shook her head—I stayed up all night, and so did my son!
