Guo Antai comforted his mother Zhang before returning to Chengruiting.

I saw a woman standing beside the emperor, and it was his sister.

Guo Antai's eyes were slightly darker, and he quickly walked over and saluted the emperor before saying to Guo Suyi: "You go and accompany your mother first. I have something to say with the emperor."

Guo Suyi bowed and then stepped back. At this moment, Guo Antai raised his robe and knelt down, and said respectfully to the emperor: "I have not taken care of my mother in my family, but fortunately the emperor and the empress do not care about it. I deserve to die if I am guilty of it."

Guo Antai has always put his position in a straightforward manner. The king is the king and the minister is the minister. He has a full ambition to serve the country. He was disappointed with the previous dynasty in the past, but now he supports the wise king, and is loyal. He was born and died with the emperor before, which was the ambition of his real man. Now that the new dynasty was first established, the most taboo thing is that he was too arrogant and could not change the countryside.

Xue Zhan and Guo Antai have known each other for a long time and know their character. If they were others today, this matter would naturally not be so simple and easy to understand. Speaking of which, he did give the Guo family some slightest face.

He looked at Guo Antai and said, "Forget it, today is the queen, but... if there is a next time, I will never let it go."

Although Guo Antai made military achievements, he was far inferior to the royal face, and his queen protected her shortcomings.

Guo Antai thanked him only now.

After seeing the emperor, Guo Antai went back and talked to his sister Guo Suyi in private.

Guo Suyi is not a fool. Looking at his brother's face, he felt something was wrong, so he whispered: "Brother?"

Guo Antai is slender and gentle and restrained. Although he is a good person, there are many women who want to marry into the Guo family because of his high position and power. He looked at his sister in front of him and knew that the girl's family was thin-skinned, so he was not easy to say something, but he was worried that his sister would be deeply trapped. After thinking about it, he had to speak: "The emperor had a purpose in marrying the queen before, but he might not have no selfishness. Now that the emperor is harmonious, you must see more clearly what the emperor treats the queen. Suyi, you are my own sister, and I will find a good marriage for you, but... I will never let you enter the palace."

Guo Suyi looked embarrassed and grabbed the silk squid in her hand, explaining: "I don't mean that."

The girl at the age of time is dignified and gentle, with a pretty face. With the identity of the Minister of Personnel as a sister, most of them are nobles who are proposing to marry.

Guo Antai had a gentle look and said to her slowly: "You are my sister. I know the most about what you think in your heart. The emperor is handsome and majestic, and a strong man. It is reasonable for the young woman to be happy with him. However, in the past, he only had the great fortune in his heart and did not consider the relationship between men and women. Now that the country has settled, he married the daughter of the Xiao family and treated her with all his heart. Don't have any thoughts."

Of course, Guo Suyi knew that she felt good in the past, and she fell in love with him as soon as she first met him, and she was quite confident in front of him.

...but he never looked at her directly.

The daughter's family was introverted and shy, so he ignored it, so she naturally stopped moving forward. But now that he has become an emperor and married the daughter of the Xiao family, she feels a little regretful, regretting why she didn't take the initiative at the time... At that time, there was no woman around him, so maybe she would accept her.

But at that time, her mother didn't want her to contact Xue Zhan, thinking that although Xue Zhan was outstanding, she was not well-known and was far inferior to the well-known young master in the town.

She listened to her mother since she was a child, and knew that her mother was hard-working, so she was well-behaved and sensible. She worked hard every day, but as long as her brother had a promising future, she was willing to accept it. Now she regretted that she listened too much to her mother.

Guo Suyi couldn't help but cry and said, "Brother, I..."

Guo Antai raised his hand and patted her shoulder gently, comforting her: "Brother promised you that you will definitely find a good man."

At this moment, Guo Suyi said that she would let go and let go, but after hearing what his brother said, he had to nod and said, "I'll listen to my elder brother."

...

Because there were still red marks on her face, Xiao Yuzhi did not go to join in the fun and watched the show. She was sitting quietly while eating snacks. She accidentally saw the Guo brothers and sisters talking in the pavilion. Lord Guo didn't know what he said to his sister, but Guo Suyi was about to cry, and she was so charming.

Because of Zhang's incident, Xiao Yuzhi's impression of the Guo family was extremely poor. If her mother had not advised her to put the overall situation first, how could she be able to swallow this?

Her dignified daughter of the Duke of Protector's Mansion was beaten by an old woman from the countryside!

Xiao Yuzhi said: "This man surnamed Guo is afraid that there is no good thing."

The maid beside Xiao Yuzhi whispered to her: "Don't say this girl. I heard that Guo Shangshu is one of the emperor's most valued ministers, young and promising. Although there was a wife from Yiheli before, there were countless wealthy families in Jincheng who wanted to marry their daughter to the Guo family, and they were willing to be a concubine."

It is this Shangshu Guo who is both civil and military, and he is a humble minister in the court with a bright future. With an arrogant and domineering mother like Zhang, what is the difference between marrying the Guo family and entering a wolf's nest? How can there be any glory and wealth?

"... And this Miss Guo is not simple either. She had entered the palace to accompany the Empress before. It is said that she had some friendship with the emperor in the past..." Halfway through speaking, she looked around and saw that there was no one, so she quietly said in Xiao Yuzhi's ear, "I heard that Miss Guo will enter the palace to be a concubine in the future."

Xiao Yuzhi frowned and glared at her with a squinted look: "What are you talking about?"

The maid said, "I didn't say nonsense. Many people in the palace say so. It seems that the emperor likes this Miss Guo very much."

Yeah?

Xiao Yuzhi stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth and looked at Guo Suyi next to the crabapple tree not far away... Such a person with a low eyebrows and an ordinary appearance could enter the palace? Xiao Yuzhi thought that although she didn't like Xiao Yu, she also admitted that Xiao Yu had a stunning appearance, and she had no great wisdom, but some cleverness was enough in front of men.

At first glance, the new emperor also looked a great man, but now he is the emperor again. After marrying Xiao Yu, the beautiful peony, will he still like this rural mountain flower?

That's so blind.

...

Although the banquet was so grand that it gave Xiao Yu a face, it was really tired all day long. After Xiao Yu returned to Fengzao Palace in the evening, he took off the heavy phoenix crown on his head, combed the black hair carefully, and then went to take the birthday gift from the Duke of the Guru Mansion, sat on the bed of the Arhat and opened it to take a look.

Her father was far away from the northwest and could not celebrate her birthday, but her mother and sister-in-law were all very careful.

Even Zhao Hong sent a gift in, but because of his identity, he did not meet him.

Xiao Yu opened it and saw that the red sandalwood box given by Zhao Hong were stacked with words he wrote. It was obvious that the word had made great progress. Finally, there was a big word "天" written on a piece of rice paper. Xiao Yu liked it very much.

Maybe she didn't have to worry about anything since she was a child and gave her some gold, silver and jewelry, which made her feel a little vulgar and perfunctory.

After folding the paper thoroughly, Xiao Yu saw a white jade hairpin quietly placed underneath.

It is a top-notch jade, and the peony patterns engraved on the hairpin are very exquisite. Xiao Yu likes it...but it doesn't look like it was given by Zhao Hong.

Somehow, he remembered the day when King Qi and Zhao Xuan were wearing blue brocade robe in Prince An's Mansion. Xiao Yu frowned and thought about it, but he put away the hairpin and rice paper and stopped looking at it.

There is also an inconspicuous wood carving, which is made of ordinary walnut wood. It carved a chubby fish with big eyes, and even the scales on its body are clear and exquisite.

Xiao Yu quietly stroked the wood carving, knowing who gave it to him. He was both civil and military, but he was much more rude than the big and rude old man and patient. Therefore, he learned a good craft since he was a child. Every year on his birthday, no matter what precious things others gave him, he was a wood carving that could not be shaken. Even if he left the Duke of the Guguo Mansion and went on his own, he would not leave his birthday gift every year.

...I just didn't expect that he actually gave it to me this year.

She and Wei Chuan grew up together, and she had long regarded him as a relative. Now that she hasn't seen Wei Chuan for several years, she actually misses him a little.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t make a name outside, no one will laugh at him... Everyone in his family misses him very much.

But Xiao Yu also knew that this Wei Zu was not her brother after all, and now she was married as a wife. She had made such a rumor about Xiao Yuzhi, so she would hand the wood carving over to Madam Yuan and let her lock it in the cabinet and not release it.

However, at the time of Xu, Xue Zhan came to Fengzao Palace.

Xiao Yu hurried to greet him. In the past, he always came back very late, and sometimes even after midnight. After Xiao Yu followed him into the house, he saw that he was drunk, so he stood on tiptoe to wait for him to change clothes and whispered: "I thought the emperor was going to come later, but he was not prepared." She had not yet taken a shower and was just resting with a lazy look.

Xue Zhan bent down, his hands passed through her armpits, hugged her back in close contact, kissed her beautiful jade cheeks, and a rough male aura came to his face, saying, "Today is your birthday, I want to come back soon with you."

Xiao Yu nodded. When he remembered the incident in Baiji, he still felt that his words and deeds were inappropriate, so he said, "I have lost my composure when I was with Mrs. Guo before. I hope the emperor will not take it to heart."

Although he protected himself, when he went out of the Xiefang Palace, his face was not very good. As her mother said, because she pushed her to the Guo family when she encountered something, he must be unhappy.

Xue Zhan was indeed a little worried before, but she was also a little wronged. He is a dignified man, could he still be skeptical of a little girl? He said: "I have scolded Zhang, and I will definitely not have any conflicts with the Xiao family in the future."

He also... said that Zhang?

Xiao Yu thought that it was in front of everyone just now, and that their Xiao family was right, so Xue Zhan asked Zhang to compensate him. Did he talk about Zhang later?

She wanted to ask if this would have any impact on his relationship with Lord Guo, but after thinking about it, she smiled at him and said, "Thank you, the emperor."

The court was not stable, and he had his concerns. If she really talked about Zhang again, she would naturally thank him.

Xue Zhan smiled and said with a relaxed eyebrows: "I am only concerned about drinking, but I have not eaten food. Can there be food in the Queen's harem?"

Of course there is something to do. Xiao Yu nodded and asked Chunming to bring the snacks and tea, and put them on the table one by one, saying to Xue Zhan: "The emperor first eat these cushions to cushion your stomach, and I will ask Chunxiao to go to the imperial kitchen to prepare some."

Xue Zhan was not very particular about food. He looked at the exquisite pastries in front of him, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and said to Xiao Yu: "Don't be so troublesome, these are enough."

Xiao Yu raised his white wrists, his ten fingers were slender, and he thoughtfully brought the tea to him.

She was in Chengruiting just now and was planning to feed the snacks to the dog, but it was probably because the barbarian had been together for a while, or because he was wandering outside for half a month, and felt that it was nothing wrong to be appropriately frugal, so Chunxiao kept the pastry and prepared it for him.

Although he is easily satisfied with his food, he is an emperor now, and it is better to taste more delicacies in the mountains and seas. Otherwise, I really think that only mutton buns in this world are the most delicious.
