Chapter 276 The Origin is Not Simple
There was no chance before in the palace because it was far away and it was troublesome to enter the palace. Now I live in this temporary palace, which is very close. Even if I can't come, I can ask Yunhe to get it, and it will still be warm when I bring it over.
"Mom loves me the most. I want to eat the ones with three fresh fillings and the ones with cabbage and meat." Gu Jianchu hugged Mrs. Gu's arm and couldn't help rubbing against her body.
Gu Jianyue couldn't help laughing.
Madam Gu raised her hand and pinched Gu Jianchu's face. "The Queen is such a grown-up person, and she's the Queen of a country. How can she act like a child, just pulling her mother around and acting like a spoiled brat?"
"No matter how grown up I am, I am still a child in front of mother. Can you cook some eight-treasure rice for me? I like the eight-treasure rice cooked by mother the most." Gu Jianchu stared into Mrs. Gu's eyes with a smile.
"Okay, you still have to stay in the palace for a few days anyway. Just tell your mother what you like to eat, and I will make it for you and send it to you." Mrs. Gu said lovingly, and her eyes inevitably fell on Gu Jianchu's belly. There was still no movement, but seeing that her daughter had lost weight, Mrs. Gu was afraid of putting pressure on her daughter and did not dare to say anything.
Now that the emperor and the empress have such a good relationship, there is no need to worry about having children.
After Gu Jianchu finished acting coquettishly, he couldn't help but bring up serious matters.
"Mother heard that my eldest brother brought a girl home."
Madam Gu smiled. "Yes, when your eldest brother was coming back from Lingnan, he met a little girl being chased by bad guys on the road. The little girl was homeless, so your eldest brother took her back to the capital. The little girl's name was Mi Yue. She was very cute and lively. After living in our house, she actually added a lot of fun to the family. She also liked to follow your eldest brother around."
"I haven't had time to tell you yet. Mi Yue insisted on following your eldest brother to the palace. We didn't stop her and let her come along. It would be great if Mi Yue and your eldest brother could get married. Your eldest brother is already an adult, and it's time for him to get married."
Gu Jianchu tapped the table with his finger and looked at Gu Jianyue. "Sister, you should have met this Mi Yue, right? What's she like?"
"Of course I have met her. She is a very nice person. She used to accompany me to the embroidery workshop. She has a carefree personality, but she speaks incoherently and sometimes her words are inconsistent, as if she is hiding something." Gu Jianyue thought about it carefully and told Gu Jianchu everything she knew.
"What does big brother think?" Gu Jianchu added worriedly.
"Big brother seems to have a good impression of Mi Yue. After all, such a carefree girl is not particular about trivial matters and is very good to our family. If Big brother is not moved, I would be a bit weird. But I don't think Mi Yue has any big ideas in that aspect. If this thing wants to succeed, Big brother still needs to work hard."
Gu Jianyue quickly noticed Gu Jianchu's furrowed brow.
"Achu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Her intuition told her that this little girl's background might not be simple.
Before meeting Mi Yue, Gu Jianchu was not sure.
Gu Jianchu shook his head. "Nothing. I just think this little girl's background is unclear. You and Big Brother shouldn't worry too much about her. Also, please investigate the little girl's background."
"When you have time someday, mother can find a chance to bring Mi Yue to meet me."
Mrs. Gu immediately understood her daughter's concerns, but sometimes being cautious is not a bad thing. If this thing comes to fruition, it will be the marriage of Gu Jianbai's life. "Okay, mother will find a reason to bring her to you someday."
Mrs. Gu held Gu Jianchu's hand and couldn't help asking, "How are Ah Chu and the Emperor?"
"Don't worry, mother. The emperor and I have a good relationship. Otherwise, why would I live in Yong'an Hall with the emperor? You and father can rest assured. Besides, there is no one else in the harem now." Gu Jianchu snuggled up to Madam Gu and explained.
Although I have many opportunities to see my mother, most of them are at banquets, and it is rare for me to act like a spoiled child like this in private.
"But mother saw that the emperor brought a concubine with him." Mrs. Gu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Mother, your man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, let alone the emperor. However, the emperor has never touched those women. The emperor treats me like my father treats mother. I brought Concubine Wen to the palace. She has a good relationship with me and often comes to accompany me to relieve my boredom. This time when I can leave the palace, I will take her out to relax. Then mother can rest assured." Gu Jianchu explained comfortingly.
Mrs. Gu naturally understood these principles, but she was still a little worried.
Since her daughter had said so, Mrs. Gu didn't know what to say. "You were exhausted from the long journey yesterday, and you got up early today to meet these ladies. You must be exhausted. I'll go back and make you some pie and eight-treasure rice. You can go back and have a good rest."
"Okay, I'll let Yunhe go and get it later, so that mother doesn't have to make another trip." Gu Jianchu personally sent his mother and elder sister away from Yong'an Hall.
When they arrived at the corridor, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but hold Gu Jianyue's hand and whispered, "Be careful with Miyue, after all, her origin is unknown."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay more attention." Although Gu Jianyue didn't know why his sister asked this, he still acted according to Gu Jianchu's instructions.
After seeing his elder sister and mother walk away, Gu Jianchu called Xiao Fuzi who was serving outside and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do it right away." Xiao Fuzi said and immediately left the hall.
Gu Jianchu nodded gently and returned to the main hall. The emperor was processing a newly delivered memorial. When he saw Gu Jianchu come in, he took the initiative to extend his hand. Gu Jianchu naturally placed his hand on Xie Ci'an's large palm and was pulled by Xie Ci'an to sit down in front of the dragon throne beside him. "I meet the wife of the Marquis of Nanping."
"Yes, I did, and we talked for a long time. Mother said she would make me my favorite pie later." Gu Jianchu told Xie Ci'an about his conversation with his mother one by one.
"Madam doesn't mind the trouble and even cooks for you herself." Xie Ci'an rubbed Gu Jianchu's fingers.
"Achu, please help me look at these memorials. If you have any important matters, tell me. If they are unimportant matters, please give me your comments." Xie Ci'an pushed one of the stacks of memorials in front of Gu Jianchu.
Gu Jianchu looked at the memorial in front of him with hesitation.
What does the emperor mean by asking her to help read memorials? Doesn't he know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? What's more, the entire Gu family is behind her. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous to interfere in politics?
Xie Ci'an noticed Gu Jianchu's hesitation and raised his hand to tap his forehead. "If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, how will the ministers know? Just think of it as helping me deal with some trivial matters."
