I was coddled after teasing the insane and cold power

Chapter 2

After lunch, the Empress Dowager took a nap as usual. Before going to bed, she suddenly thought of something, looked at Yunxiu and said, "The late Emperor passed away suddenly, and both father and daughter couldn't see each other for the last time. Now that she is out of the cold palace, she should go to see her." Her father, Yunxiu, you can ask someone to take her to the Fengxian Hall to worship later."

"Yes, Empress Dowager, I understand."

After the queen mother fell asleep, Yunxiu ordered the maid at the side to take care of her carefully, and went to Gu Qian'er's residence by herself.

"My maidservant has seen the princess." Seeing that the person had already washed up, Yun Xiu didn't exchange much greetings, "Princess, the Empress Dowager has an order to ask this maidservant to take you to the Hall of Honor to worship the late emperor."

First Emperor?Then we should really pay our respects, Gu Qian'er nodded, "Alright, then I will trouble my aunt to lead the way."

Yunxiu led the people all the way to Fengxian Hall. When they reached the door, Yunxiu said, "Princess, at this time, the Queen Mother should be taking a nap. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you in."

"Okay, since aunt has something to do, let's go, I'll go in alone."

After the people left, Gu Qian'er went in by herself, waved away the cleaners in the hall, and then walked up to the tablet of the late emperor, picked up the incense next to it and lit it, kowtowed politely, and inserted the incense into the incense burner After standing there for a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Father, my son has come to see you."

After waiting for a long time, the hall was still silent. Gu Qian'er couldn't hold back, and just burst into a smile, "Father, I forgot, you are already dead, death is like a lamp going out, even if you were once honored as the Ninth Five , is the same as ordinary people, it is impossible to enjoy these incense offerings."

There was no one else in the Fengxian Hall, and Gu Qian'er didn't have so many scruples. There was a cold smile between her brows, her slender fingers touched the tablet of the late emperor, and her tone was serious, "Father, my son is really sad. Died? The majestic emperor, died so hastily and suddenly, really, really... What a pity..."

When Yunxiu returned to Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother had already got up.

Seeing the person coming back, the Queen Mother didn't ask more about Gu Qian'er, but said: "Yun Xiu, you send someone to the emperor and Ruo'er to come over for dinner at night, and instruct the small kitchen to do more. some of their favorite dishes."

When mentioning her own child, the Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with gentle smiles.

"Yes, the servant knows."

Gu Ruo'er was overjoyed when she learned that she and the emperor's brother would go to Shoukang Palace for dinner with her mother. In all likelihood, it was for the sake of marriage. As long as Brother Huang nods his head and makes an order tonight, then the marriage has nothing to do with her anymore.

Because she was thinking about this, Gu Ruo'er went to the Empress Dowager's palace as soon as it was dark.After waiting for a while, Gu Fengxuan arrived at Shoukang Palace.

"Brother Huang, you are here. The queen mother and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing someone coming, Gu Ruoer was very excited, and ran to Gu Fengxuan in two or three steps.

Seeing the appearance of the two brothers and sisters, the queen mother smiled and reminded: "Ruo'er, your imperial brother has been busy all day, so you have to eat dinner before you have anything to say."

"Oh, yes, yes," Gu Ruo'er came to her senses, and quickly said, "Brother Huang, let's go eat quickly. I just went to the small kitchen to see it. The queen mother ordered you to cook a lot of your favorite dishes."

"Okay." Gu Fengxuan nodded and followed the people.

After eating, Gu Fengxuan looked at Gu Ruoer, who was obviously a little irritable. After all, it was his younger sister. He was more or less reluctant to let her go to marry her, so he took the initiative to say: "Mother, the person came out of the cold palace. Did you? Where are you now?"

Hearing the emperor's initiative to mention it, the queen mother was very happy, and a little smile appeared in her eyes unconsciously, "It has been picked up. In the afternoon, someone from Ai's family took her to the Fengxian Hall to worship the late emperor. Now there is no Seeing someone come out, there must be a lot of things to say, their father and daughter are reunited, and the Ai family is not easy to be disturbed, but the emperor wants to see her?"

"No need," Gu Fengxuan shook his head, "Since the person has been picked up, the son will order her to go to Xirong to marry her tomorrow."

"Okay," the queen mother nodded, "the day of getting married is not far away, let her live in Aijia Palace, it will be more convenient."

"Well, the queen mother made up her mind," Gu Fengxuan didn't care much about these things, as long as someone could get married and solve the problems with Xirong.Now that the matter has been resolved, Gu Fengxuan doesn't intend to stay any longer, "Mother, it's getting late, and my son has something to do before the court, so you should rest early."

The queen mother nodded when she heard the words, told Gu Fengxuan to pay attention to her body, and let people leave.

After Gu Ruo'er heard Gu Fengxuan's order to marry someone instead of her, she fell into great joy. It wasn't until the sound of Gu Fengxuan getting up to leave that she came back to her senses and looked at the sitting The empress dowager on the main seat couldn't hold back her joy for a moment, and threw herself into the empress dowager's arms, "Mother, the sons and ministers can stay in the capital all the time, and there is no need to go to make a kiss!"

"Yes, the queen mother's precious daughter can stay with the queen mother forever." The queen mother put her arms around her, patted Gu Ruo'er's head lovingly, and raised her face again, her tone full of pity, "Look You, your eyes are covered with blue circles, you haven't rested for the past few days, now that the matter has been resolved, go back and rest quickly, don't be exhausted."

The tension of the past few days disappeared at this moment. Coupled with the Queen Mother's reminder, Gu Ruo'er felt tired after a while, "Then, Queen Mother, I will take my leave first, and I will come back tomorrow to greet you."

"Okay, let's go back."

Seeing Gu Ruo'er's back disappearing outside the palace gate, the Queen Mother suppressed the smile on her face and asked, "Where is he now?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, she is still in Fengxian Hall." Yun Xiu immediately understood who the Empress Dowager was talking about, "Does the Empress Dowager want to see her?"

"Well, let's get her here. The decree of getting married will come down tomorrow. The Ai family will remind her first, so as not to make any trouble when the decree is announced, and make people laugh."

"Yes, Empress Dowager, this servant will send someone to bring him here."

In Fengxian Hall, Gu Qian'er stayed alone from noon to night. The sky outside was getting darker, and the inside of the hall was getting darker. Looking at the densely packed tablets in front of her, a sense of eerie lingering in the hall was always lingering, but Gu Qian'er He didn't intend to light the lamp, and he still stood there calmly, allowing the darkness to cover him, without any panic or fear on his face.

The little eunuch who was ordered to come over looked at the pitch-dark Fengxian Hall, and confirmed with the guards outside that the princess was indeed inside, then he held the lantern tightly in his hand and walked over, walked to the door, as if to embolden himself, Pushing open the door of Fengxian Hall forcefully.

With a sound of "bang dang", the little eunuch took advantage of the light coming in from outside and shouted loudly into the dark hall: "Princess, Queen Mother, please go over there!"
