Chapter 199, A Family Reunion

Three days later, outside the gate of Yuxiao Palace, the royal carriage drove slowly, inside the carriage were the young emperor and concubine Xia.They were dressed in plain clothes and their makeup was simple and elegant. The emperor looked at Gu Wuxia who was sitting opposite, with deep emotions in his warm eyes.

"Why are you sitting so far away? Come here, come closer to me." Gu Wuxia smiled sweetly, and moved closer to the emperor.Until she approached, the emperor held her slender hand.

"Concubine Xia, you and I don't have to be restrained when we are outside. You are my first concubine, and I take pity on you. Do you know?" The emperor's eyes were eager, and his tone was full of tenderness.

"The concubine knows, Your Majesty, you have a lot of things to do every day. It is my concubine's blessing to be able to accompany this concubine back to her mother's house today." Gu Wuxia was really satisfied. She never expected the emperor to love her so much.Is it because of the baby in the belly?

No matter which aspect, she doesn't care, as long as it is sincere.These years, she has been tortured by the queen mother, and her original willful temper has been sharpened.Only a trace of the emperor's love can be left alive.

She is really envious of Gu Wushuang, who can get the exclusive favor of Prince Xiao.They didn't even have a concubine in these years of marriage, let alone married a side concubine.

Looking back at her, the emperor does not belong to her alone.It belongs to women all over the world.Although the Yuxiao Dynasty has a master's instruction, the emperor should not delay state affairs because of the harem, and that legend is even more terrifying.

The emperor in front of him is 20 years old and has no heirs yet. The civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty tried their best to send women into the palace.

Originally, Gu Wuxia's child was favored, but unfortunately, the Empress Dowager foolishly disregarded the safety of the Yuxiao Dynasty and resorted to despicable means.Some of the courtiers knew about it, and some didn't. In short, the emperor knew that it was the empress dowager who caused the trouble.

No matter what this time, he will not let this child have an accident.

The carriage drove slowly, and on the left and right sides were guards on horseback and palace maids and maids on foot, and the hidden guards followed closely in the dark to protect them.

The imperial palace is several streets away from the capital city, and it takes an hour to get to Gu's mansion.Gu Wuxia fell asleep in the carriage, and the emperor hugged her lovingly.

Guhou Yefu
"Your Majesty is coming today, everyone remember to stay alert and don't disturb Sheng Jia." The Gu family received the news yesterday that the emperor would bring Concubine Xia back to her mother's house today. For a while, the eldest lady didn't have a good rest since last night.Almost all are preparing to meet them.

"Sister, you started yesterday, and you didn't sleep well last night. Don't faint." Mo Rushuang was worried about the eldest lady's body. Although she didn't sleep well last night, it was because she was excited.

Gu Houye was also sitting in the hall very early in the morning, with a pair of deep eyes constantly patrolling the surroundings, monitoring whether the slaves were lazy or not.Feeling a little overwhelmed.

One must know that the eldest daughter seldom came home after entering the palace for several years, and this time she was accompanied by the emperor himself, what does this mean?

The emperor is no longer the little boy who was at the mercy of others.There are also a lot of ring fat, swallows and thin people in the harem.Although his daughter was once the number one talented woman in Yuxiao, she was only a flash in the pan.

I don't know how she is now?

When Gu Wushuang and Xiao Yanling arrived, they saw such a picture, people from all over Gu's mansion were standing in the front yard, lined up in two rows, waiting respectfully for something.

The roads are clean, and the corridors are full of flowers and greenery.Both the eldest lady and the second lady were dressed in formal clothes with decent makeup.

The maids and servants all put on the uniform of servant clothes.

"Congratulations, Lord Xiao, Princess Xiao." They approached the hall step by step, feeling ashamed of being respected and polite all the way.

"Aifei, when did we get this treatment? Isn't it too grand? Did you go to the wrong house?" Xiao Yanling naturally knew what was going on.

Deliberately sold well, approached Gu Wushuang, and teased in a low voice.

"My lord is Yuxiao No.1, so he naturally deserves such treatment." Gu Wushuang looked at him with raised eyebrows, and there was a slight smile in his deep eyes.

The eyes of the husband and wife were entangled, and there was fire in an instant. "Pilibali" also subconsciously approached.

But before Xiao Yanling could make any other movements, a small body squeezed between them.

"Mother, Dad, you are walking so fast, you can't even keep up." Gu Wushuang immediately knelt down to comfort his little princess.

Xiao Yanling's face was full of black lines, thinking that this little girl did it on purpose.The little girl is so cunning.

Watching his wife leaving with her daughter in his arms, Xiao Yanling wanted to stomp his feet angrily, and parted, but the little guy actually made faces at him.

The evil, charming and mad prince was about to explode.This little girl didn't come to be his daughter, but to annoy him.

Don't they all say that your daughter is a caring little padded jacket?Why did his daughter come to rob him of his wife?Sighing deeply, a mysterious voice came from behind him.

"My lord, His Majesty's carriage has arrived at the door." They entered the door with their front feet, and they came with their back feet.Xiao Yanling put away his complaints about his daughter, and put on a wicked smile on his charming handsome face.

"Then let's wait in the lobby."

Stepping into the gate of Gu Mansion, Gu Wuxia seemed like a lifetime away.Shuiyang's eyes looked at the home he had been away for many years.A sense of familiarity came over me.The eye sockets couldn't help but heat up, and he forced himself to move forward slowly with the emperor calmly.

"Minister, Gu Hou and his family welcome Long live the holy car and welcome the concubine Xia." The ground fell to their knees in an uproar, and the emperor glanced at Concubine Xia beside him.Warmly raised a smile, "Master Gu, I'm just here to accompany Concubine Xia back home, there's no need for such a big gift, get back on your feet quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Afterwards, a group of people got up one after another, and the servants all lowered their heads not daring to look at them. Master Gu walked up a few steps, and warmly invited, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xia, please come inside." They separated After opening a road, the emperor took Gu Wuxia's hand and strode forward with a smile.

The moment the eldest lady saw her daughter, her eyes became hot and humid.

No time, my son, why are you so thin?

After entering the door, the emperor saw Xiao Yanling and his wife, his eyes lit up and he smiled happily.

"The emperor has arrived."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xia." Xiao Yanling just stood up and nodded slightly, the emperor was used to his attitude.

Gu Wushuang bowed slightly with a respectful attitude. "The minister's wife has seen His Majesty, Concubine Xia."

"Aunt Huang, you don't need to be too polite, Concubine Xia, you sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, right?" The emperor spoke to Gu Wuxia very gently, which made the people in the Gu residence feel a little comforted.

"It's been a long time, Your Majesty, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with my family in private."

"Naturally, Concubine Xia is in poor health recently, so I asked Aunt Huang to take a look at Concubine Xia's body." The emperor's words surprised everyone present.

"Xia'er... Concubine Xia, please rest in the backyard." When the eldest lady heard that her daughter was unwell, she blurted out her boudoir name in a moment of impatience.

After thinking about it, she immediately changed her words, but Gu Wuxia stepped forward to hold the lady's arm.

"Mother, Xia'er hasn't spoken to you for a long time. Let's go for a walk in the yard!"

"Okay, Second Madam, Princess Xiao, let's go together!"

So the female relatives left the hall, watching them leave, the expressions on the faces of the men were different.

"Congratulations sister, you are indeed more than two months pregnant." Gu Wushuang withdrew his hand to check Gu Wuxia's pulse, and congratulated her with a sweet smile.

The eldest lady was even more excited.

"Xia'er, finally"

"God bless, ancestors bless, the eldest lady is finally happy. That's great." Several women wept with joy, and Gu Wuxia himself also burst into tears.

Looking into Gu Wushuang's deep eyes, Gu Wuxia suddenly took her hand.

"Wushuang, I want to thank you, you are the one who healed me, I am sorry for my youthful time."

Gu Wushuang naturally understood what she meant, and smiled relievedly, "Sister, don't worry about it, who wasn't frivolous and arrogant when you were young? Besides, you and my sisters were born from the same root, so how can we say thank you. Everything is over." Gu Wushuang Gu Wuxia has always known that he is a really big belly person, but it was all because of jealousy and competitiveness in the past.

Every time she thinks of the past, she will be ashamed for a long time.

"However, my sister is not yet three months old, and she is still not very stable. She must drink some anti-fetal medicine."

"What? Is there something wrong with Wuxia's body? Wushuang, you have to help your sister."

The eldest lady was very anxious, she looked at Gu Wushuang sincerely, and Mo Rushuang also hurriedly said: "Yes, Shuang'er, your sister finally got pregnant, so don't be careless. You must keep it this time." They all knew Gu Wuxia's first child matter, because of this, the eldest lady also fell ill.If Gu Wushuang hadn't come to comfort her later and promised to heal Gu Wuxia's body and maintain her pregnant cervix, the doctor would have recovered in panic.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen this time, I promise." Gu Wushuang's deep eyes were shining with determination.

It's not that he boasted, but that she will definitely protect her sister and children, and the Gu family should not be bullied.

The good days of Empress Dowager Xiao will not last long.She will pay for all the foolishness she did.

In Gu's study, the emperor, Xiao Yanling, and Lord Gu were together.

"Then Lord Hou will take care of the safety of Concubine Xia and the baby in her womb." The emperor planned to keep Concubine Xia in the Gu mansion until she gave birth.

The palace is too dangerous.

"The minister will protect the safety of their mother and child, Your Majesty can rest assured." Master Gu Hou was really excited and delighted, he did not expect that he would be pregnant in no time.

It really made him almost cry with joy.

"Uncle Huang, I'm afraid Aunt Huang will have to worry about it during this time."

The corners of Xiao Yanling's lips were raised, and there was a faint smile in Xie Mei's eyes.

"It's okay, protecting the safety of my heirs of the Yuxiao Dynasty is what the ministers should do. Your Majesty can worry about state affairs with peace of mind."

"Thank you, uncle."

"." Xiao Yanling nodded and said nothing.

"Uh, Your Majesty, I heard... that Prime Minister Xiao has adopted his adopted son, and that adopted son is an orphan of the former Xiao family lineage of the Yuxiao Dynasty."

Speaking of this matter, the emperor's expression immediately turned ugly, while Xiao Yanling raised his eyebrows slightly.

Master Gu thought he had said something wrong, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"What Hou Ye said is right. It is true. This person is a collateral lineage of the descendants of the Xiao family. He is the orphan of the Yuan Lao Taizu's generation. He is the posthumous son who was left outside." Retrieve the stray blood.

It's not that he has any good intentions, but that he did it on purpose.Want to find someone to disgust him and Xiao Yanling.

I really don't understand these old guys, they are so ambitious even though they are already half body in the coffin.

Find someone who looks exactly like Prince Xiao to confuse and please the queen mother, and disturb the harem to shake the hearts of the people. Now some of these messy blood relatives have been recruited to trouble the court.His intentions are unpredictable, and his ignorance is so disgusting.

"This person is not an ordinary person." Xiao Yanling said coldly.

"Oh, besides being from the Xiao family lineage, are there other theories?" Gu Houye didn't know much if he wasn't in the court.

I just had nothing to say today.

"Does Lord Hou know about the Black Eagle Gang?"

"Black Eagle Gang? Are they the ones who came to attack me and General Feng in the early years?" Dressed in black, they destroyed the tea garden he had painstakingly cultivated and almost killed him.

"It's them. However, although this person is the young master of the Black Eagle Gang, he broke with it."

"How does the emperor know?" Such an identity must be extremely mysterious, does Prime Minister Xiao know?

It was the first time for the emperor to hear such a thing, he was shocked, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes.

Xiao Yanling shook his head, "Your Majesty, I didn't know about it at first, but I just heard it by chance." Recalling the boring night, after flying over the eaves and walls, I came to the roof of an old acquaintance's house, and lazily opened up a little gap in the house.It's just such a "coincidental coincidence" to hear it.

Seeing the lazy and casual look on his face, the emperor did not suspect him, "Well, how should we respond according to what the emperor wants?"

"What do you think is best, Your Majesty?"

The emperor lowered his eyes, thought for a moment before raising his head and said: "A few days ago, the prime minister met me in private and said yes, let me issue an edict to let his adopted son take the imperial examination."

"Imperial examination?" Xiao Yanling snorted coldly, Prime Minister Xiao didn't want to be offended, right?

"Since he wants to show off, His Majesty will naturally not object."

"This year's imperial examination, I want Uncle Huang to preside over it. Would Uncle Huang be willing?"

"Your Majesty, you know that I don't like those literati's pen and ink." Xiao Yanling apologized innocently.

A trace of hesitation flashed across the emperor's young face.

"Uh, Prince Xiao, His Majesty is also worried about others, do you think you can do me a favor?"

Gu Houye was talking about favors carefully on the side.

"What my father-in-law said is that I can do you a favor, but...after the imperial examination, Your Majesty has to promise me one thing."

"Emperor Uncle, just say it." Xiao Yanling was really happy to agree to preside over the imperial examination.Glancing at Gu Houye gratefully, the other party immediately nodded respectfully.

"As for what to do, I haven't figured it out yet, let's do it later. Please Gu Houye to be a witness."

"Oh, okay, I'm not talented, so I will testify to the two nobles."

"Okay, it's a deal, Uncle Emperor, thank you very much." God knows, the emperor has been worrying about the imperial examination for an unknown amount of time.

There was no one around whom he could trust, Prime Minister Xiao and Grand Master Pang were evenly matched in power, and evenly matched people wanted to intervene.

He really has no one to turn to, although he wanted Prince Xiao to help him before, but he always finds excuses to escape, or hangs up because it has nothing to do with him.

That's why today, taking advantage of sending Concubine Xia back to her mother's house, she made an appointment with the prince and his wife.

After the emperor's goal is achieved, he will leave if he is satisfied.When parting, she was somewhat reluctant to leave Concubine Xia.

"Concubine Xia, you can live here with peace of mind. After I returned to the palace, I said that you were homesick and sick, so you stayed in Gu's mansion to recuperate. Naturally, the ministers will know the meaning. They won't say anything. In addition I will also send some guards to protect you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Gu Mansion will do everything in its power to take care of Concubine Xia, and it will certainly be worthy of His Majesty's entrustment."

"That's very good, then I will see that the fifth empress of the Yuxiao Dynasty has her heirs handed over to you."

When the emperor said this, everyone present was extremely surprised except Xiao Yanling and Gu Wushuang.

"Your Majesty's grace is immense." After sending the emperor off, Gu Wushuang and Xiao Yanling left one after another.

"Sister, stay here with peace of mind. We came here in a hurry today. I'll go back to the palace to clean up. Then, we can be together every day."

"This king will also come to live next door." A smile flashed across Xiao Yanling's long and narrow eyes, Gu Wuxia smiled and nodded, the Marquis of the Gu family and his wives were naturally overjoyed.In this way, they can have a family reunion every day.
