Chapter 1971 The Opportunity Has Come
Except for the Gu family, the Xue family and the Kang Wangfu, the Peng family, the Huo family and the Zhenguogong were not used to having such a homely meal with the Grand Empress Dowager and the Emperor and Empress.
Mrs. Huo was fine. She was able to chat with the Grand Empress Dowager with Grandma Gu. Mr. Huo, Prime Minister Huo and his wife, Huo Yanyu's parents were all a little uncomfortable. The Grand Empress Dowager was kind and told them not to be nervous and just treat it as a palace banquet.
The Emperor didn't mind what the Grand Empress Dowager said. At this moment, the father and son of the Huo family understood that the rumors were true, and it was not like what some people said privately that the two families were not in harmony. They were like a family, a loving family.
The Emperor saw that Uncle Gu winked at him and found an excuse to go aside with Uncle Gu. When he heard that he was avenging Sister Xiao Jia, well, count him in.
The emperor was younger than Zhou Yujia, but he had seen Zhou Yujia when he was a teenager. He admired Zhou Yujia very much and even thought that if Zhou Yujia had not married the man surnamed Lu, he would probably take her to the palace. Therefore, revenge was something he liked very much.
The emperor liked Empress Xue, but he didn't just like Empress Xue. In the nearly 20 years since he became emperor, he also really liked concubines other than Empress Xue. However, he clearly understood who would accompany him to the end. He respected and admired Empress Xue. Later, he was constrained by the Lin family and he was getting older, so he didn't fall in love with the concubines in the harem like he did when he was young.
Except for the seventh prince born to Concubine Lin, the emperor allowed the existence of the mothers of other princes and princesses because he liked them. Moreover, he was not stingy with these concubines. Unless you were from Concubine Lin's faction, otherwise, he would be very generous to you, but he would not step into your room again in recent years.
The two brothers returned to their positions, and with the addition of Prince Kang and Duke Cheng'en, the drinking party was done.
Mr. Huo didn't want to see the king of a country like this, so he talked to Mr. Peng and Grandpa Gu as much as possible. He didn't want to see it, he didn't want to see it!
As for Prime Minister Huo and Mr. Huo San, they chatted with General Peng and Uncle Gu Shouxin, and they had a good chat.
The Queen also got along very well. With the experience of being pregnant and giving birth in Kunzhou, the Queen was already very familiar with the three sisters-in-law of the Gu family, and even Zhang could chat with her. The ladies of the Huo family and the Peng family, plus Princess Kang and Madam Xue, were more lively than the men who drank.
Princess Kang and Madam Xue asked Queen Xue to play mahjong after dinner, and Queen Xue was worried about the little prince.
Princess Kang told Queen Xue that the little prince could go to the nursery and play with the little ones of the Gu family. It was very fun there, and the children would definitely like it.
Are you afraid that no one will watch over you? No, no, there are so many brothers and sisters, what are you afraid of? Let Xinxin, Sisi and Xueer go over there to watch. Little girls should not be addicted to mahjong. There will be many opportunities when they grow up!
The sisters-in-law of the Gu family all agreed.
So, after dinner, Queen Xue was taken by several ladies to the nursery for a walk. Well, Queen Xue left the prince there without any worries, and then played mahjong with everyone.
Seeing this, Gu Ren rubbed his hands and said, hey, little prince, the opportunity has come. Are you a fellow traveler? I can try it out tonight.
After the adults left, Gu Ren slowly came to the little prince who was playing with building blocks with Xiaoqi and others.
