Empress has purpose

Chapter 33 Visit
The carriage drove along the straight bluestone road, passed the bustling market, and came to a mansion. Two large stone lions lined up on the left and right. big characters.

It was Gu Yunxi's grandfather's house.

Half a month ago, Gu Yunxi discussed with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess edited a letter, sent it to the Duke of Zhen, and handed it to Gu Yunxi's uncle, Duke of Zhen, Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan replied after receiving the letter, saying that he would pay more attention.

It was only then that Gu Yunxi patiently stayed in the eldest princess's mansion for three days, and then accompanied the eldest princess to Lingyin Temple to pray for the son-in-law who set off for Rongcheng again.

On the same day that Gu Yunxi went to the princess mansion, Zhao Qiran rushed to Rongcheng overnight. After listening to the eldest princess' explanation, Gu Yunxi knew that he had come back privately this time without being summoned. She was surprised and even more puzzled.

After staying in Lingyin Temple for half a month, the eldest princess went down the mountain with Gu Yunxi and set off to return home.

Gu Yunxi couldn't help thinking about her grandmother whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Early this morning, she bid farewell to the eldest princess and rushed to the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

The concierge was already very familiar with Gu Yunxi's carriage, and when he saw the very conspicuous Lotus logo on the carriage from a distance, he immediately went in and informed Miss Biao that she was here.

So as soon as Gu Yunxi stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion, she saw an old lady with silvery hair on her temples but with a graceful, non-angry and dignified appearance. She was Gu Yunxi's grandmother, Madam Zeng, with the support of several people.

The old Duke Qin Mu passed away when Gu Yunxi was six years old, and now only his grandmother is left.

Gu Yunxi's grandfather only married his grandmother in his life, and he never had concubines. His grandmother gave birth to three children for him. The eldest son, Qin Xuan, inherited the position of Duke Zhen, and the second son, Qin He, was named General Zhenyuan. She was guarding the frontier in Rongcheng Town, and her younger sister, Qin Hua, was Gu Yunxi's mother.

Grandfather and grandmother loved their little daughter Qin Hua the most. However, Qin Hua passed away early, and the two transferred all their love to Gu Yunzhao and Gu Yunxi, especially Gu Yunxi, who was very similar to Qin Hua in appearance, and even more so. Since childhood, he has been loved by his grandmother Zeng and his uncle and second uncle.

Both the eldest uncle and the second uncle inherited the love of their grandfather Qin Mu, and they never took concubines except for their wives.

The eldest aunt, the Lian family, comes from one of the five major families in Shunjing. The Lian family is a well-known scholarly family, and has always cultivated the gentle and virtuous temperament of the eldest aunt. The two had a son, which is Gu Yunxi's cousin Qin Tianyu, who has passed Eighteen.

The second aunt, Jiang Shi, is a very cheerful and optimistic person. She came from Jiangmen and is the only daughter of the old general Jiang Chengyan. The second uncle who served, the two hit it off, and Gu Yunxi's grandfather discussed with Old General Jiang, and the marriage was soon concluded.

The Jiang family has a son and a daughter, the son Qin Tianchen, who just turned eight years old, and the daughter is Gu Yunxi's cousin Qin Silan, who is one year older than Gu Yunxi and has reached the age of ji.

Compared with being in the prime minister's mansion, Gu Yunxi actually prefers to come to Zhen Guogong's mansion, because here she can truly feel everyone's care and love for her, unlike the intrigue in the prime minister's mansion, everything here is happy and peaceful.

After entering the back room, after saluting, Gu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Zeng who was holding her hand and asking questions, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Thinking of the destruction of the entire family in the Duke of Zhen's house in her previous life, she felt a little terrified. Now that she is alive again, she will try her best to protect her grandmother's family and prevent the wicked from harming them.

The first aunt and second aunt also gathered around to ask about their recent situation, and Gu Yunxi answered them one by one with a smile.

Uncle Qin Xuan hadn't returned from the previous court, and the people in the room were watching Mrs. Zeng and Gu Yunxi talking, and more than half an hour passed like this.

Seeing her cousin Qin Silan blinking at her, Gu Yunxi couldn't help laughing "puchi". Everyone followed her gaze and saw Qin Silan's movements before she could take it back.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Qin Silan glanced at Gu Yunxi in embarrassment, and said, "Grandmother, Yunxi took a long time to come, and I'm thinking about my granddaughter too. You see, let our daughter's Close the door and talk privately."

Qin Silan's temperament followed that of her second aunt, Jiang Shi, who was also lively and cheerful.

Mrs. Zeng smiled and glared at her coquettish granddaughter, then she let go of Gu Yunxi's hand with some reluctance, and said angrily, "You girl, Yunxi came here after a long time. Thinking of robbing me, that's fine, your daughter's family must have a lot to say, so I won't stop you."

After speaking, he pinched Gu Yunxi's hand and said: "Your aunt has been cleaning up your room for you. It's been so long since I came to see my grandmother. I really miss you. Now that I'm here, I will stay here longer. A few days, you can't just leave like this."

Gu Yunxi hurriedly smiled and said: "Grandmother, don't you think Yunxi is annoying, I plan to live here this time, and I will definitely not want to leave if I stay for ten days and a half months."

Only then did Mrs. Zeng laugh heartily and said, "This is the best. If you need anything, just ask your first aunt. She and your second aunt have always been looking forward to your coming to live."

Gu Yunxi responded with a smile, and thanked Lian Shi. The place where Gu Yunxi lived in the Zhen Guogong Mansion was the residence of Qin Hua before he left the pavilion. For many years, it was thanks to Lian Shi who sent people to clean up every day. , and now keeps Qin Hua's appearance before she got married.

It also gave Gu Yunxi a place to miss her mother.

After Gu Yunxi bid farewell to her grandmother and the others, she was dragged by Qin Silan to her Hengwu courtyard.

After entering the door, the servant girl came up with tea and fruits, Qin Silan waved the servants away, and couldn't help but said: "You girl, you haven't come to see me for so long, but I heard that Feng Ziyu is back, Just forget about my cousin!"

Gu Yunxi smiled: "How come, how can a mere Feng Ziyu compare to you, cousin, besides, cousin, don't mention Feng Ziyu to me in the future."

Qin Silan asked in surprise: "What's the matter? But he bullied you, haven't you been expecting her to come back these years? Why do you have such an attitude now that he's back?"

Gu Yunxi said: "That was all about my childhood, cousin, I haven't seen you for three years, I don't know why I feel that he has changed a lot, and my thoughts on him have faded."

She has always had a good relationship with her cousin Qin Silan, so the first thing she thinks of when something happens is to tell Qin Silan, so she is also one of the very few people who know that she likes Feng Ziyu, but now, she lives again, Many things have long been different from before, and she can't say that she is a reborn person, she can only explain that time has changed her mind.

Qin Silan nodded, and said with a look of approval: "It's good to be here early, I have never had a good impression of Feng Ziyu, but when I was young, you just liked her so much, no matter how much I persuaded her, it was useless , Now, I can finally rest assured."

Gu Yunxi smiled and said: "Okay, don't mention her. Why didn't you go to the palace banquet a few days ago? Aman and I even mentioned you."

Gu Yunxi suddenly paused, the expression on his face changed, and he shouted: "Oh, what a pity, my cousin, I promised Aman that I would talk to her after the palace banquet, but something happened that day, so I went back to the mansion early. I didn't have time to inform her, Aman must have blamed me."

Qin Silan stared at her, and it took a long while before she opened her mouth and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Aman for a while, why don't I order my servants to invite her out in the next post?"
