Chapter 32: Celebrating Xiuyi’s Person
But Gu Xiying followed Mrs. Xiao back to the British Duke's Mansion without saying anything. Mrs. Xiao just thought she was secretly angry, and she didn't say anything. She just watched the baby girl calmly and leisurely look upstairs, and she thought she really didn't take it to heart.
As soon as the two entered Yanqiyuan, they saw Mrs. Liu in the inner courtyard holding a food box to greet her.
While meeting, he spoke: "Madam, Princess, but I'm back. The sun is getting higher and higher, but I'm asking for food?"
Mrs. Xiao nodded and walked into the house without stopping. Madam Qin was with her side. Knowing that the two masters were afraid that there was something hidden in their hearts, they were a little depressed. Seeing that Madam Liu was overjoyed, she asked, "What's the good thing? Let's ask you to be so happy."
Mrs. Liu knew that Madam Qin was giving her a chance to show her face, so she opened the food box and revealed the yellow color inside. "Mrs. Aunt sent a person six hundred miles to deliver more than ten baskets, saying that she was trying it out for her family, and she also gave her relatives fresh food."
Gu Xiying looked at the plate of loquats in the food box, and was not surprised to know that it was sent by her aunt. Even if her aunt Gu Run married Wu Yue as a queen for twenty years, she was still close to her family, without any separation, and had a relationship with each other during the New Year and was intimate.
When Mrs. Xiao thought of this lively, cheerful but extremely careful sister-in-law, she couldn't help but smile. She asked Mrs. Liu to take the food box into the house and receive a reward.
Gu Xiying leaned on the couch and grabbed a few loquats and gave them to Mo Yu, so she didn't have to stay here, so she went to find Wanqing to take a break. Madam Qin thought that their mother and daughter had something to say, so she retreated.
Mrs. Xiao saw Gu Xiying appear to be careless, but she didn't know how to speak for a while.
Gu Xiying didn't know her mother's concerns, so she plucked the loquat and threw it into her mouth, and said, "My daughter knows what her mother is worried about. Which family on the upper floor is easy to meet? Fortunately, there weren't many people coming, otherwise they wouldn't have ended like this."
Mrs. Xiao thought about the scene at that time: "I am not worried that the Queen will not be able to suppress it. I just don't know if Yu Zhaoyi said that she wanted to make a try for her mother's family, or if the Duke of Pei's mansion had also become unwilling to betray others."
Gu Xiying commented as if it had nothing to do with him: "My daughter didn't know about her, so she seemed to be very straightforward. But there was no one in the palace who could say whatever she thought, and she was afraid that the Duke of Pei's Mansion would even hide the plans of Mrs. Sun, the mistress of the house.
But the Duke of Pei is interested in making progress, so there is no reason why the Duke of Mao is not following. The two families are in Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, which are the relatives of the legitimate relatives. At this time, they must be in the same mood. There is no reason why Yu Zhaoyi's move, Yu Qingzhong and Lin Haiping will not take Sun Chengze with him."
Gu Xiying recalled Yu Zhaoyi's character in her previous life. Logically speaking, she was noble and the leader of the second-rank concubine. Her daughter, Princess Yunqing, married very well after King Zheng ascended the throne, and her status was stable and comfortable life. Yu Zhaoyi did not go to the princess's house to live with her daughter, but instead asked herself to build a house next to the imperial tomb for a layman. For a time, her deeds were also noticeable in Jingyang.
If it is said that Yu Zhaoyi has a deep love for the late emperor, Gu Xiying doesn't believe it. Or he is tired of being trapped in life, it is not entirely true. What is such a casual and free person seeking?
"You don't like anyone, you can just call your name." Mrs. Xiao angrily said to Gu Xiying, but also thought, "Yu Zhaoyi has always been casual. At that time, because your father was the most noble family, he said he wanted to marry a hero like this, but I got engaged with your father since childhood and could not be shaken. Later, the Princess of Pei declined, and she said that more than a man could shine on his family, she could do it, so she entered the palace and became Jieyu Concubine. After giving birth to the princess, he even reached the top of the nine concubines step by step. Even the princesses had to be behind her, which shows that she was also quite energetic. I would like to praise you today, could it be..."
"My daughter doesn't care what she thinks. My daughter doesn't care. Whether she is unwilling to praise or set up a plan, as long as I really have nothing to do with A Yu, I can't even talk to me. What's the use of being able to do it with a good plan?" Gu Xiying seemed to really not care, just wiped her hands heavily with a handkerchief.
Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that she would say it out today. Last time she said that she had no special feelings for Zhou Guangyu, but in a blink of an eye, she asked her father for Corning Dan, and she just thought that her daughter was a girlish feeling, and she was making trouble.
"You really don't want to have any connection with A Yu anymore?" Mrs. Xiao asked with a smile in her eyes and teased the child. It seemed that the conversation just now was just saying that the weather was good today.
"What's the point of thinking or not? I didn't expect Qing Xiuyi to interrupt this matter today. I always felt that she was not in the way of dealing with His Highness, but she didn't expect that she would risk the face of Yu Zhaoyi to rescue His Highness today."
Gu Xiying did not continue this topic, but instead talked about the celebration ceremony.
As King Jing’s biological mother, Qing Xiuyi has always been cautious in her impression, and today she has responded quickly and acted bravely.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't see Gu Xiying's entanglement. She always believed that her children had their own blessings, and she did not interfere much. She followed Gu Xiying's words and said Qing Xiuyi.
"If you were promoted to become a concubine by the Queen's side and successfully gave birth to a prince, you would not be a simple person. She has been indifferent to the Queen over the years, respectful but not close to her, but just for King Zheng to see. But now, King Jing is already twenty-eight, and our Majesty has brought Lao Qi to the battlefield again. She can't hold on to the air."
"Yes, can she follow King Jing into the mansion and raise the family in her later years? She is completely in the hands of Queen Tian. She is not favored. As the rules, if King Jing is thirty, he can submit a letter to pray to bring the ceremony to the ceremonial work. Now the prince is not allowed to be released. Although he cannot show his style as a queen mother and daughter in his fiefdom, he is always freer in his son's mansion than in the palace." Gu Xiying had no good impression of the mother and son.
"Qing Xiuyi is in his early fifties. He has been cautious in the palace for decades, and finally he still has to fight for himself." Mrs. Xiao did not comment on her daughter's evaluation and took a sip of tea, as if she felt something.
"If a person wants something, he will be moved. If his daughter has nothing to ask for, she just keeps watching the changes and eats fruits." Gu Xiying saw that the food was already being arranged in the outside world, and jumped out of bed with a smile, and said that she would not need food anymore. She got up too early and wanted to go back and take a rest.
Mrs. Xiao didn't say that Gu Xiying had no rules and was so Jiaojiao that she followed her.
At this time, Wanqing had just come in from the Yuedong Gate outside, and took care of Mu Yu's errands and said, "Mrs. Sun from the Duke of Pei's Mansion came out of the Guanlou Tower. As soon as she entered the city gate, she went to the Duke of Mao's Mansion. After a while, the carriage of the Madam Marquis of Ningyuan was also stopped at the side gate of the Duke of Mao's Mansion. He came to report the time and did not see him yet. It was said that the eldest son of Duke of Mao who was having a drink in Fanlou today was also hurriedly called back home."
