Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 707 A Banquet That Was Needed
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the birthday of the old matriarch of Jingyanghou Mansion.

Due to the tense battle in Jiuyang City recently, Gu Yanxi was originally worried that it would affect the birthday banquet of the old matriarch, but he did not expect that the birthday banquet of the old matriarch in the Jingyanghou Mansion was not only held as usual, even the emperor and empress asked Come in person.

When the news came out, even Gu Yanxi was surprised, because in the previous life, although the birthday banquet of the old matriarch was held grandly, he was not fortunate enough to be congratulated by the empress at the same time; There is a big discrepancy.

On this day, Gu Yanxi was dug up from the bed by her mother herself early in the morning. Looking at the maids and women who were busy in the boudoir, Gu Yanxi sat sleepily in front of the dressing table, looking at the copper mirror, which was obviously not yet After waking up, I turned around and asked my mother who was combing my hair: "Mother, even if you value the old lady's birthday banquet, there is no need to make such a fuss. Take a look, it's not yet dawn, you Isn't it tiring to work like this?"

Mrs. Lin looked at her drowsy daughter who was sleeping, and gave her a look of love and hatred, and supported her head to tell her to sit still, and said, "Just sit here obediently and don't move. , from just now to now, you have been restless, and I don’t know who this restless problem is like. Could it be that there are nails growing on this stool, making you feel uncomfortable?”

Gu Yanxi pouted coquettishly, looked at her busy mother through the bronze mirror, and said, "Mother, my daughter is really tired; besides, I have so many servants in Furong Courtyard who are waiting for me." , why do I need you to come and dress me up in person? Didn’t you send me the clothes I want to wear two days ago? Why are you still so worried. "

Listening to her daughter's soft and sweet voice, Lin's heart melted in half, and said: "When you grow up and get married, and become the mother of your child, you will understand my mother's mood today. You, don't you Don't I know you yet? Although you are obedient and well-behaved, most of the time you are too big and you don't have the delicate thoughts that many girls should have; as a mother, I am worried that you will not clean yourself up well, so you come here early in the morning Serve you personally. Speaking of which, you and your father really look like each other, and you are easy to talk, but no one can guess what is going on in your heart. "

Suddenly hearing her mother say such a sentence unexpectedly, Gu Yanxi's drowsiness immediately faded away, and at the same time, she was muttering in her heart: What does mother mean by saying this?Could it be that she sensed her true thoughts, that's why she said such a sentence in front of her today?

Thinking of this, Gu Yanxi couldn't be bothered to yawn, she carefully glanced at her mother from the corner of her eye, then deliberately coughed twice, and took the initiative to talk about other topics: "Mom, it stands to reason that the war has already started Yes, I've heard people say that the capital is going to be in chaos these days. Under such circumstances, even if the status of the old lady of Jingyanghou Mansion is relatively high, her birthday banquet will be affected to some extent. But how did I hear that the birthday banquet will not only be held as usual, but even the emperor and empress will come to celebrate in person, mother, do you think the rumor I heard is true or not?"

Lin combed Gu Yanxi's jet-black satin hair carefully, and when she heard her question, she became interested, and said: "The matter of the empress is not something that others can casually bring up to spread rumors, since you all If you hear it, it proves that it is absolutely true.”

"What? Ma'am, what do you mean, today the emperor and empress will really come to Jingyanghou mansion to celebrate the old matriarch's birthday?" Gu Yanxi was a little unsteady: "I am afraid that only the queen mother has this kind of honor in the whole world. Such a blessing; no matter how senior this old lady is, she can't be higher than the Queen Mother."

Lin's finger lightly poked Gu Yanxi's head, and said: "Didn't you not be allowed to move around? Why can't you sit still anymore? If you move around again, I will take care of you."

When Gu Yanxi heard her mother's words, she naturally didn't dare to move any more, but her curiosity had already been aroused, and she would not forget this topic in a short time: "Mother, what do you think about those people in the back house? The news should be more informed than mine, tell me quickly, is there any other inside story here?"

Mrs. Lin can see that if she doesn't solve this girl's doubts today, she will not let herself go: "I heard from your father that the emperor really needs such a banquet to win people's hearts at this time, so , he will make an unexpected move at this time, and go to Jingyang Hou Mansion to celebrate his birthday."

Hearing what his mother said, Gu Yanxi understood everything.It turned out that their emperor had been sitting on the dragon chair for a long time, and he was no longer as rude and shapeless as before, and began to figure out the delicate heart.

Gu Yanxi sneered: "The Emotional Emperor is making such an idea. If he really thinks that only one banquet can make him achieve his wish, I'm afraid his wish will come true."

Lin's hand holding the comb slightly trembled, seeing her daughter in the bronze mirror sweeping away the daze and laziness of Xiancai, her whole person seemed to have changed, her heart was lifted slightly, and she subconsciously lowered her voice She asked, "Jiaojiao, what do you mean by that?"

Gu Yanxi said directly: "What I mean is that sooner or later the rebel army will attack the city. The emperor only started to win people's hearts like a dead sheep at this time. Doesn't he think it's too late?"

Lin's face turned pale in an instant, and she quickly reached out her hand from behind to cover Gu Yanxi's mouth, and taught her a lesson, "You child, why do you dare to say anything? Are you afraid that spreading these words will cause trouble in our mansion? Here In such an emergency, we need to be more cautious, otherwise we don’t know how this life was lost.”

Gu Yanxi exposed a pair of eyes, and smiled crookedly at the panicked mother, followed by a buzzing voice from between her fingers: "Mother, my daughter knows she's wrong, she won't talk like this again in the future, It's just that my daughter just wanted to answer your mother's question, didn't she?"

Looking at the eccentric child sitting in front of him, Lin sighed, let go of his hand, and said, "You! You always do something unexpected suddenly, and you also say something earth-shattering. In other words, did your father say that you, a child, have big ideas in your stomach. But, why do you say that it is too late for the emperor to do all this at this time? Although the battle in Jiuyang City is tight, my 30 army It cannot be underestimated either, I want to say that the rebels are the rebels, they are only temporarily proud, how can they have the last laugh?!"
