On this day, Su Rong did not return to the palace, but stayed in the Zhou Mansion. She had dinner with the old Duke and others, and rested with the eldest lady in the courtyard where she lived.
On the way back to the palace, the King of Nanchu did not let Xie Yuan go back to the palace. Instead, he pulled him and insisted that he go to the palace and have dinner with him. "Brother Xie, Xiao Qi must be resting in Zhou Mansion today. How boring is it to eat alone? No, you must stay with me."
Xie Yuan didn't want to agree, who would be willing to have dinner with him? But the King of Nanchu was so entangled that he had no choice but to force him away, so he could only follow him to the palace.
The King of Nanchu and Xie Yuan ate wine together and sighed, "Xiao Qi doesn't eat with me, I'm not used to it."
Xie Yuan's face was expressionless.
The King of Nanchu added: "Hey, Xiaoqi's mother is here, have you seen it? Look at how affectionate they are. As a father, I am no longer popular in front of her."
Xie Yuan remained expressionless.
The King of Nan Chu added: "Brother Xie, do you think Xiao Qi won't always go to Zhou Mansion in the future?"
Xie Yuan didn't want to answer him.
King Nan Chu looked at him and said, "Say something."
Xie Yuan sneered, "What do you want me to say? You also live in Zhou Mansion?"
King Nan Chu blinked, "Is this suitable? Will the old Guo Guild dislike Gu? Besides, there are several female relatives living in the Zhou Mansion, will it be inconvenient?"
Xie Yuan thought to himself and regretted being pestered into the palace by him. He had no intention of finishing this meal.
The King of Nan Chu was not annoyed and said "Hey", "If Xiao Qi always goes to Zhou's house from now on, it would be more reliable for Gu to live in your house."
Xie Yuan almost couldn't drink the wine, "Stop it, you are not welcome in my house."
"Oh, Brother Xie, don't be so stingy. It's settled. Once Xiao Qi goes to the Zhou Mansion, I will have dinner with you. If you don't enter the palace, I will go to your manor." King Nan Chu He thought of a way and became happy again, "We are also companions. Look at you, why are you so cold to Gu Gu again? On Xiaoqi's birthday, didn't you still coax Gu Gu? Are you no longer good brothers? ?”
Xie Yuan took a breath and put down the wine cup, "Do you want to drink again?"
"Drink, drink, come, come." The King of Nanchu quickly helped him pick up the wine cup, "Let's drink together."
The snow outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and in the inner hall of the palace, the charcoal fire is burning brightly and it feels warm.
After drinking the wine, King Nan Chu pulled Xie Yuan and said, "Brother Xie, the snow is too heavy, and you have eaten so much wine with me. You can live in the palace today! If I let you go back like this, I will Don’t worry, I have to go to your Xie Mansion with you.”
Xie Yuan didn't want to argue with him about this, so he nodded, "Okay."
It had been snowing heavily all night and it was still falling when I woke up early. It was three feet thick.
The next day, early in the morning, Su Rong got up and went to court. The servants were holding court clothes and waiting for her to put them on.
The eldest lady watched from the side. After Su Rong was properly dressed, she looked out at the sky and muttered, "It's really hard for such a big school to have to rush to go to the morning court and it's still dark."
Unlike her, she could go back to bed and sleep for an extra hour.
Su Rong also felt that she was working hard, but what could she do? She muttered, turned and left.
The eldest lady didn't hear clearly what Su Rong mumbled. She yawned and asked the nanny waiting beside her, "What did she say just before she left? Did you hear it clearly?"
Mammy said with a smile: "I heard clearly, Miss Seven said that we should get married as soon as possible. If she has a child as soon as possible, she can get rid of the throne earlier."
Madam: "..."
She laughed and scolded me, but she really felt sorry for my little grandson. He didn't even know where he was going to be a piao, but she was already thinking about him. ", she yawned twice more, lay back on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes, "This bed is so comfortable. Tell the kitchen that I won't have breakfast until I wake up. "
Mammy nodded with a smile, lowered the curtain for her, and closed the door.
It was snowing heavily, the north wind was howling, and it was dark and the roads were slippery. Although Su Rong arrived at the morning court on time, some elderly courtiers missed the morning court.
Seeing her, the courtiers apologized one after another.
Su Rong waved her hand, "In this kind of weather, it's really hard for you guys to get up and rush to the morning meeting. It's all about your health. Due to the special weather, it doesn't matter if you delay for a while."
The courtiers were moved and lined up.
On this day, in the morning, the courtiers obviously felt that the concubine was in a good mood. Although the discussion in the morning was about dealing with the difficult matter of the snow disaster, it did not prevent the concubine because the old protector and others came to Nanchu, and some good mood.
After the court broke up, Zhang Yun said, "Hey, Brother Zhou and Brother Ye, I don't know when they will be able to come back. With such a heavy snow, I'm afraid it will be overdue for the snow to close the mountain. It can be dealt with in half a month." Don’t delay things for a month just because of the heavy snow.”
Su Rong had been thinking about Zhou Gu for a long time. Hearing this, he suddenly felt bad and glared at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun happened to see it, "Huh? Madam, am I right? Why are you glaring at me?"
Su Rong was not angry, "You have a crow's mouth."
Zhang Yun understood and immediately touched his nose, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense. Brother Zhou will definitely be back in half a month. Even the heavy snow can't stop him from coming back."
Su Rong was satisfied, turned around and left.
Zhang Yun: "..."
Why didn't he see that the princess was so childish before? This is an obvious fact. If he doesn’t say it, wouldn’t it be true?
The eldest princess of Sheng'an has long missed her grandson. From the time she left Beijing last autumn to this winter, she hasn't seen Zhou Gu for more than a year. She thought she would be able to see her when she came to Nanchu, but who could have imagined that Zhou Gu was out? I'm on business, and now it's snowing so heavily.
She sighed with the old Protector, "I wonder when Brother Gu will be back? The snow is falling too hard, and it makes me really anxious."
The old Lord Protector looked at his old wife and said, "What's the rush? We're not leaving here. We'll stay here for three to five years, as you wish. When he returns to the capital, you can see him every day."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an was so relieved that she immediately laughed and said, "You old thing, you are quite good at talking."
The old Protector was not worried at all, "When I was young, I fought abroad. The longest time I didn't go home was two years, and I didn't see you missing me."
Princess Sheng'an glared at him, "Can that be the same? I knew when I married you that you had your head in your waistband. Even if someone carries your body back from the battlefield one day, I wouldn't be surprised. I think so. What's the use of you? You won't reply, so I might as well not think about it."
The old Protector choked.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an said happily: "I miss my dear grandson. I think he is looking forward to his return and has something to look forward to. When you were young, you didn't make me feel that there was anything to look forward to."
The old Protector didn't want to chat with her anymore and shut up.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an did not let him go, "If we live comfortably, we can stay in Nanchu for three to five years. Let Brother Gu take care of us in our old age. Brother Rui doesn't want to leave anyway, even the children We all want his fourth uncle to grow up with him, so what’s the point of going back to Daliang Jingcheng. It’s still Nanchu, it’s fun to stay there.”
Old Protector: "..."
Just one day after arriving, I actually want to die here. Is that ridiculous? (End of chapter)
