Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 729
Thinking of what happened to these noble princes and concubines after Feng Yichen led the army into the capital in his previous life, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but sigh.

If it was her in the past, she might still feel that Feng Yichen's methods were too cruel, but after knowing the pain Feng Yichen has endured over the years, it seems like she will no longer allow herself to have that kind of hypocrisy.

Since ancient times, the battle of emperors has always been cruel and ruthless.Back then, Emperor Wu of Liang was able to do the beastly act of killing his brother and father, so now, Feng Yichen can justly avenge his parents.Emperor Liang Wu brutally slaughtered the entire East Palace back then. Didn't he want Prince Zhaowen to have no sons or grandchildren?If it weren't for Feng Yichen's fate, he might have already turned into a bone at this time, and he doesn't know where to bury his body.

As the saying goes, you do the first day of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth day. Since Emperor Liang Wu killed his own brother, don't blame his own nephew who would do the same to him a few years later.

However, what Gu Yanxi sympathized with was the young princes and concubines sitting in the middle hall.

Speaking of which, these noble women are nothing more than attachments to men and power. Looking at the solemn and beautiful smiles on their faces at this moment, it is really unimaginable. It won't be long before they will die because of more than ten years. He paid the price of his life for a well-planned treason before.I'm afraid that at this moment, they would not have thought that their lives would soon come to an end, and that the person who pushed them to that desperate situation was none other than that sitting on the dragon chair, occupying other people's identities with peace of mind. The lord of the world who has lived for so many years.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao..., what's wrong with your child? Hurry up and greet the old lady."

Just when Gu Yanxi was in a daze, Lin's whole heart was about to be scorched; it turned out that when they saluted the old matriarch and concubines together, Gu Yanxi was wandering away at this moment. All are a bit out of order.

It wasn't until she was pushed hard by Lin that she woke up from the daze.

Gu Yanxi looked at himself who had become the focus of attention since he didn't know when, and immediately realized that he had lost his mind at such a time, so he hurriedly bowed and said: "Please forgive me, the princess, the old lady, I haven't seen you for a long time. To the old matriarch, seeing you today, I was dazzled for a while, and even forgot the etiquette because I was happy in my heart, and I asked the old matriarch to punish me."

As expected, the old lady of Jingyanghou's Mansion likes Gu Yanxi. Seeing the little girl who greeted her from below with a frightened look, she immediately laughed kindly, and waved Gu Yanxi to her face: "Look at this pretty little figure, who else would it be if it wasn't the three girls from the Gu family? Come in quickly and let me take a look. This girl seems to have grown a lot taller."

Hearing the old matriarch's joyful and loving voice, Gu Yanxi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked quickly to the old matriarch with his head hooked, showing a submissive and obedient demeanor that made it almost impossible to find any faults Come.

At this time, Lin, who had always been worried about her daughter, finally felt relieved. Seeing that the old lady took Gu Yanxi's hand in public, she hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't be biased, old lady." I feel bad for this girl. I originally thought that she should let me worry less as she grows up, but I didn't expect that she will grow up and go back now. To tell the truth, before I came to the Hou's mansion, I was right This girl has been educating you for a long time, for fear that she will cause trouble in front of the old lady and make you feel bad on this happy day, but I didn't expect that the more you worry about something, the more she will do something to you. On the way here, this girl obviously prepared many auspicious and good things to say to you, but I didn't expect that she would make me such a shameful thing just after she appeared in front of you; Li is too pampered to her, which makes her make mistakes on such important occasions."

Hearing Lin's humble and nice words, there was no trace of displeasure on the old matriarch's face. She tightened Gu Yanxi's hand, and pulled the child who had grown up a little closer to her, smiling. She said: "If you want me, an old woman, to say that you are so cautious because you make too much of a fuss; Yixiang, others don't know, don't you know? My old woman likes your daughter the most. Look Look at this little one, it looks exactly like you did when you were young, and it's so juicy and attractive. If you want me to say, this kid should look like a kid, lively, mischievous, even ignorant It's harmless; you adults always instill your own ideas in your children, and educate this child who is still growing up in a rigid and boring way, without any naivety. To tell you the truth, let's look at it today I'm still happy with Jiaojiao's dazed look. I watched this child grow up. She is kind, intelligent, well-behaved and alert, making people very satisfied and fond of her. Today, she can show this charming and naive look in front of my old lady. The appearance is even more loving. So Yixiang, don't count our Jiaojiao here, even if you say that my old woman spoils this child, I will admit it, who made our Jiaojiao so annoying It hurts."

Saying that, the old matriarch did not shy away from his love for Gu Yanxi, and hugged her tightly in his arms. The appearance of loving Gu Yanxi from the bottom of his heart was really not fake at all.

And Gu Yanxi leaned in the old matriarch's arms very respectfully, with a shy smile on her face; she knew very well how respectable the kind old man who was holding her was, and also knew why the old matriarch Like her, in addition to loving her temperament, but also loving her like a junior.

Looking at such an amiable old man, Gu Yanxi thought of his grandfather, and seemed to smell a kindness similar to that of his grandfather from the old matriarch, so Gu Yanxi did not shy away from the old matriarch's love and care.

And the people present also saw the love of the old matriarch of the Hou's mansion for Gu Yanxi, and the eyes that fell on Gu Yanxi were more or less mixed with a little bit of envy.You know, although this old lady is kind, there are not many people who really hurt her, and the three girls from the Gu family must be one of them; such a blessing and fate is rare.

As for Mrs. Lin, after seeing the attitude of the old lady not to blame, she finally put a pounding heart back into her stomach safely; at this time, Mrs. Cao's voice came from her ear: "Morning I just told my sister that your daughter is a rarity. Anyone who sees her will cherish her, so how could she be angry? Let me tell you, at this time, you shouldn’t worry about whether your girl will You don’t want to cause trouble, but you have to worry about whether your girl will be remembered by those who plan to do something wrong.”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cao pouted in the direction of Mrs. Zhu who was standing at the front of all the female relatives, and her intentions were immediately understood by Mrs. Lin.

Lin showed a knowing smile at Cao, and then turned her attention to Gu Yanxi and the old ancestor again.

At this time, Gu Yanxi had been held by her ancestors and sat down next to her. Today, she paid extra attention to her dressing and manners, especially the prince concubine, wife and others who were surrounded by hairpins. Among the aristocrats, that is also an outstanding existence, which makes people's eyes shine.

It's difficult for people not to pay attention to Gu Yanxi like this.

The old lady's mood was obviously more relaxed than before, she tightened Gu Yanxi's hand, and kept looking her up and down, with a hint of memory in her expression: "I still remember the last time I saw Jiaojiao, you This child is not so tall yet, I didn't expect that after a year, this head would jump so badly; sure enough, this daughter's family has reached a certain age, and she really changes every day. I wonder if there will be any lucky family who will be able to marry Jiaojiao in the future."

Hearing the old matriarch's mention suddenly, the women's family members present completely opened up the chatterbox; I saw that everyone sat on the round stools that had been prepared, with smiles on their faces, and began to greet them politely.

Seeing that the old matriarch had asked about Gu Yanxi's marriage, Mrs. Lin did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said in a tactful tone: "I have also mentioned this child's marriage with my master twice in private, but my master's temperament is really serious. It makes people laugh, every time when I bring up my daughter's marriage, he always has a stern and displeased expression; he either reprimands me in a cold voice, or yells that his precious daughter is still young, in short, I see his posture, It is clear that whoever dares to say in front of him that he wants him to marry his daughter, he dares to fight that person. I don't know what is going on in his heart as a father. How can there be a father like him, wishing that his daughter would stay forever By my side, like a baby bump in my arms, no one is allowed to get close to her."

After finishing speaking, Lin covered her mouth and smiled softly twice.

As for the other female relatives in the middle hall, after hearing what Mrs. Lin said, they all laughed out loud. Obviously, they did not expect that Mr. Minister, who is quite famous in the court for his toughness, would be a lover in private. A good father who is as good as a girl.

The old lady was naturally amused by Lin's words, but after laughing, she deliberately bluffed her face and said to Lin: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Gu is a stern and selfless court official. He was in Dali back then. When the prisoners were interrogated in the monastery, as soon as those prisoners saw Mr. Gu's cold face, they would immediately confess the numerous crimes they had committed; I thought that such a Mr. Gu must be extremely dignified at home, but after hearing what you said today, Yixiang, To know that Mr. Gu has such a contrasting side in private, it really makes people laugh."
