Gu Xi and Qin Xiao returned to the capital. Before the spaceship landed at the palace, all the people and officials in the capital knew that their emperor and empress were back.

Without it, the Golden Dragon Spaceship is the most majestic and conspicuous guard of honor.

It's hard to ignore.

The people cheered for joy, and many people came out of their homes with smiles on their faces. They gathered together to talk about the great achievements their emperor and empress had done in the past few days, and imagined that the days in the future would be better and better.

Many merchants took the opportunity to lower their prices and shouted loudly to attract customers. For a while, the streets were very lively and prosperous.

When the ministers saw the spaceship, they became even more excited. They quickly sorted out their backlog of important official matters and hurried to the palace to meet him.

Many ministers would say hello when they met on the street.

"Hey, Mr. Li, are you also going to the palace to face the saint? I heard that your officials have seized ten more huge corruptions, and you should be rewarded by the empress."

"Mr. Chen, I don't dare to expect a reward. I just hope that there are no big mistakes. Alas, I don't know if ten will satisfy the empress. I don't know for sure.

Moreover, all the money we confiscated went into the pockets of your household department. But you saw that the warehouse was full. If the empress wanted to reward you, she would also reward you. "

"Master Li, although our household department's warehouse is full, it is because the empress has not issued a new decree for the time being. When the empress gives the order, the money will not be enough for the empress to spend."

"Your Majesty spends money for the sake of the people and the country, not for your own enjoyment. You, the Ministry of Household Affairs, must quickly find ways to make more money."

"You can't work hard because I'm afraid of being scolded by the queen. I feel that I am extremely incompetent. I'm sorry for the queen."

"Yeah yeah……"

As we chatted, the topic gradually changed from political affairs to a speech given by the empress’s idiot fans.

This kind of custom is simply not normal.
-
This side of the palace.

When Gu Xi and Qin Xiao got off the spacecraft, they saw the Queen Mother waiting aside, looking at them with a loving smile.

"I've met the Queen Mother." Qin Xiao and Gu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"It'll be good to come back. I can't let go of the war between you and the Yan State. I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, took Gu Xi's hand affectionately, looked at her carefully and said,

"Xi'er has lost weight. She must not have eaten well outside. You have to make up for it when you come back. Tell the queen what you want to eat. The queen will tell the imperial kitchen and then come over to watch you eat."

"Mother, please forgive me. I don't dare bother you to keep an eye on me every day. I will have a good meal." Gu Xi quickly smiled and begged for mercy.

"Don't worry, mother, if you leave this matter to your son, she will definitely gain three pounds." Qin Xiao said with a smile.

Gu Xi glared at him coquettishly, but did not object to give him face.

The Queen Mother immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, liking the way their relationship was good.

At this moment, Ye Lan, Gu Tang and Gu Jia got off the spacecraft.

The Queen Mother saw them and immediately knew their identities.

No way, Gu Xi and her mother Ye Lan really look like mother and daughter.

The Queen Mother quickly greeted her with a smile and praised enthusiastically,
"My mother-in-law and my father-in-law have finally met you. If you don't appear with Xi'er, the Ai family will suspect that you are Xi'er's brothers and sisters. You are too young, but your style is still touching and touching."

"Your Majesty, this is such a reward." Ye Lan smiled, waved her hand, and looked at the Queen Mother affectionately and said,
"I heard from Xi'er that you are very kind to her and dote on her. As a mother, I am not around to accompany her. I am grateful to you for taking care of her these days."

"My mother-in-law said this, which makes me ashamed. During these days, Xi'er is actually taking care of the Ai family, not the Ai family taking care of her." The Queen Mother said with a smile, becoming more enthusiastic and lowering her posture.

The two of them complimented each other back and forth, and their relationship became closer, and they looked very affectionate and affectionate.

Later, the Queen Mother looked at Gu Tang again and greeted with a smile,
"Third Prince, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, but you still have the same charm, and I have become an old woman."

Gu Tang's other identity is the third prince of Xixia Kingdom, but Xixia is a small country and it is in the Western Region, so his status is not that high.

"He's still an old man." Gu Tang smiled, looked at the palace and said,
"I have pity on my second sister, but her beauty has faded away in just twenty years."

Gu Tang's second sister was sent by Xixia to marry her 30 years ago, and entered the palace as Concubine Li. At that time, she had a good relationship with the Queen Mother, who was still the queen, and received much care from her.

Unfortunately, she had poor health and was tricked by a concubine in the harem. She was killed when she was about to give birth, and neither she nor her child could be saved.

After hearing the news of her second sister's death, Gu Tang personally came to learn the truth about her second sister's death, and then left after watching the real culprit be punished.

It was also at that time that he met Ye Lan, left the Xixia Palace and entered Qibao Pavilion.

In a sense, the third prince, Gu Tang, was a bride-in-law!
"Yes, Concubine Li is so heartbreaking. The Ai family in the palace where she lived has been kept by people, and there is also a place to commemorate her." The Queen Mother sighed again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Gu Tang couldn't help but feel grateful and a little more cordial to the Queen Mother.

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that there was such a connection between his father and the Queen Mother.

However, there is nothing surprising. Where is the family background? Big families have various marriages, not to mention the royal family. Marriage is even more complicated.

"Hey, who is this girl?" The Queen Mother looked at Gu Jia and asked.

The Queen Mother had only heard of Gu Rong's name before, but had never seen her in person, so when she saw Gu Jia, she felt strange and had no doubts.

"This is my little girl Gu Jia, Jia'er, please come and pay your respects to the Queen Mother." Ye Lan said with a smile.

Gu Jia stepped forward and greeted her politely and politely, which made people feel very well-mannered at first sight and made people feel good about her.

"Good boy, please excuse me from the gift. I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't prepare a meeting gift. I'm giving you this bracelet. It's a bright color, just right for you little girls."

The Queen Mother smiled and gave Gu Jia the red coral bracelet she had just taken out and put on this morning.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward." Gu Jia thanked her and took the bracelet.

Although she grew up in Qibao Pavilion and saw as many rare treasures as the Queen Mother, she also cherished the Queen Mother's kindness.

The Queen Mother looked at Gu Jia for a few times, and doubts arose in her heart.

This child looks no younger than Xi'er.

Moreover, this child has an average appearance, delicate at best, and it is hard to tell that he is the child of Ye Lan and her handsome husband.

Either this child is too ungrateful, or he is not his biological child.

The Queen Mother prefers the second option.

When the Queen Mother thought of this, she only thought that Gu Jia was the daughter adopted by Ye Lan and the others, and never thought of Gu Rong and Zhongyi Hou.

As for the situation and the situation, Gu Xi and the others were unwilling to say more.
