Chapter 286 Queen Dowager

Suddenly, Mu Xi stopped laughing and her face wrinkled.

Mu Junyan was startled, and hurriedly held the baby in his arms, rocking him gently: "Don't be angry, Daddy is just learning how to hold a baby, give Daddy a chance to learn."

As he spoke, he smelled a slight strange odor and Mu Junyan frowned.

Then the hand that was supporting the butt felt a soft and sticky touch, as if something soft was squeezed out between the big palm and the butt.

Gu Huan also smelled it and called out with a smile: "Nanny, come and see if Mu Xi has pooped."

Mu Junyan moved his little butt away and looked down. Sure enough, his palms were full of yellow stuff.

he:"……"

A meeting gift?

The maids smiled and fetched water from a copper basin to help their master wash his hands.

The wet nurse quickly took Mu Xi and carefully opened the swaddling clothes. As expected, the boy was opening his big innocent eyes and his little body was twisting from time to time.

Mu Junyan was used to seeing bloodshed, but this was the first time he saw such a large mass of blood on his hands...

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Let me change."

Gu Huan and the old lady looked at each other.

It's a rare opportunity for him to become a father, so let's satisfy his old father's heart.

"Mammy, let the master change, you just teach him."

The wet nurse cried out, but seeing that her master was eager to try, she had no choice but to let go of his hand and stepped aside to instruct him.

Mu Junyan, a tall and strong man, stood beside the little kid, at a loss with his big hands.

He usually handles government affairs with ease, but now he is a little overwhelmed when faced with this small diaper.

He hurriedly took the clean diaper handed over by the wet nurse and tried to change it clumsily, but the boy seemed to be deliberately making trouble. His two little legs kept kicking, making it impossible for Mu Junyan to start.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he muttered softly: "Little ancestor, please don't move."

After finally cleaning the little butt and putting a new diaper in place and preparing to fasten the straps, there was a sudden "puff" sound and some dirty stuff came out of the little butt, directly onto Mu Junyan's hand.

Mu Junyan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Gu Huan and the old lady, who had been watching, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

All the servants in the room laughed too.

Mu Junyan looked at her helplessly and smiled bitterly: "This... I admit defeat."

The nanny quickly took over: "These are things that we servants are used to doing, so let me do it."

Mu Junyan quickly moved out of the way.

Gu Huan smiled and teased, "You are usually so majestic, but I didn't expect that you would be stumped by a little kid."

Mu Junyan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "It turns out that taking care of a child is not easier than fighting a war."

Who knew, from then on, Mu Junyan seemed to have unlocked some kind of hobby, and he would learn to do everything the pair of dolls did.

Even bathing has to be done in person.

In just a few days, it looked like what it was.

Chen Li said that Gu Huan gave birth prematurely and had been in poor health before, so she needed to take good care of herself and could not touch any cold water.

Mu Junyan wouldn't allow her to do these things.

Gu Huan watched with amusement as he, a tall and strong man, was busy with the two little kids all day long. Soon, the kids became very close to him.

Except for the time when he was busy with official business during the day, he almost always stayed with his two babies when he got home, and he would pester Gu Huan at night.

The Mu family hasn't had such happy and warm days for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed.

October 1st.

This day is the day when Zhao Luoxuan was officially awarded the seal.

Gu Huan and Mu Junyan arrived at the royal court in the capital of Dali Kingdom early in the morning.

Wang Heng, who was still staying in Juzhou, also came with the officials from the capital who came with him, giving Princess Zhao Luoxuan enough face.

Zhao Luoxuan, wearing a gorgeous Dali king's princess costume, walked out slowly with Duan Yu.

Gu Huan watched as tears gradually filled her eyes.

Unexpectedly, after going through so much, Zhao Luoxuan still became a princess married to a foreign country, and she chose to marry far away for Gu Huan.

She didn't know whether Zhao Luoxuan intended to accept Duan Yu or they were just a nominal couple.

But no matter what, Zhao Luoxuan can no longer be as free and easy as she was in Juzhou. She has to deal with the harem of the Dali royal court and the stability of the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

You may even have to take certain risks.

When Zhao Luoxuan saw Gu Huan and Mu Junyan, she seemed relieved and smiled at Gu Huan, telling her not to worry.

Duan Yu's gaze fell on Mu Junyan who was standing next to Gu Huan, his eyes darkened slightly.

He is not dead!

The ceremony was held with great grandeur, which showed that the Dali Kingdom gave Daliang enough face.

After the complicated ceremony, the state banquet will be held.

Gu Huan whispered, "I'm going to the back to talk to Xuan Xuan."

Mu Junyan nodded: "Okay, be careful."

Zhou Zhilan and Shen Li followed Gu Huan to the royal harem.

Zhao Luoxuan didn't even have time to remove her makeup and stretched her head to look outside.

She anxiously urged the female official: "Go and see if Sister Huan has come."

"Yes, I will go and take a look."

The female official knew how she felt, and as soon as she walked out the door, she saw Gu Huan running towards her in a hurry.

"Here she comes, Madam Mu is here."

Zhao Luoxuan came out in person, grabbed Gu Huan's hand, and tears fell from her eyes with excitement.

"I miss my sister so much."

Gu Huan touched her face distressedly: "You are the princess of a great country, and you are still crying."

Zhao Luoxuan hugged her arms, leaned her head on her shoulder and said coquettishly: "I don't have any relatives here. Seeing my sister is like seeing a relative."

"Okay, okay. Let's go in and talk."

The two sisters walked in arm in arm, talking affectionately about what had happened in the past month.

Gu Huan heard from her that Duan Yu gave her enough respect and often stayed at her place, showing the entire royal court that he doted on her.

But the two of them slept in separate quilts and did not consummate their marriage.

"So what do you think?"

Zhao Luoxuan looked calm: "That's good. I was hoping for this."

"But what will you do if after a few years you still haven't gotten pregnant?"

Zhao Luoxuan didn't care: "I can choose a concubine's child to be recorded as my legitimate son, or I can ask my father for permission when I am old to complete my mission and let me return to Juzhou."

Gu Huan held her hand distressedly: "You are because of me."

"No." Zhao Luoxuan thought of Duan Yu's insidious methods and didn't know what to say.

"Is the Queen Mother treating you well?"

"Well, it's OK. The Queen Mother looks very weak, but she is actually very scheming."

"So this is how the princess sees me."

A gentle but unquestionable voice came.

Gu Huan and Zhao Luoxuan were both startled, and stood up to salute Concubine Dowager Wang who was surrounded by a large group of people.

Concubine Wang's eyes fell on Gu Huan and she said calmly, "No need to be polite."

Gu Huan stood up and looked directly at Concubine Dowager Wang.

She is Brother Ji's aunt. Looking at her somewhat familiar face, Gu Huan had an indescribable feeling.

Concubine Wang got straight to the point and said, "I came here specifically to see you, Gu Huan."

Gu Huan bowed slightly: "What do you want, Concubine Wang?"

"I heard Xuan Yu left a child behind?"

"Yes. We should be in Juzhou in the next two days."

The Queen Mother was slightly moved and looked at her steadily: "Originally, I hated you very much. It was you and your family who pushed him into a dead end. But your sister left a child for him, and you treated the child very well. The grudge between us is now settled."

Gu Huan smiled slightly: "It's impossible to settle all the grudges. As his aunt, you didn't help him get on the right track, but let him fall into a lowly situation. It wasn't me who forced him to death. It was what happened to him after he met you. Otherwise, he would have had a chance to start over."

The Queen Mother's face darkened.

Gu Huan changed the subject and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "But he used his life to redeem himself before his death. Now, with the righteousness of the two countries at the forefront, we should all put aside our grudges. Otherwise, the two countries will continue to fight, and regardless of who will win or lose, every family behind the people and soldiers of the two countries will not have peace. Is this the result that the Queen Mother wants to see?

Isn't it because you can bring peace to this country that the Queen Mother is able to sit firmly on the throne? Otherwise, what is your value? Or do you still want to rely on Ipudo? Besides, you don’t want to see the leader of Yifeng Hall again, right? Shouldn't you be happy about his death? ”

The Queen Mother's face changed drastically.

Gu Huan was not afraid to look her in the eye.

Chi Yan and his men had already found out everything about her and the leader of Yifeng Hall.

Otherwise, how could she, a concubine born as a slave, turn the tables?

The Queen Mother stared at Gu Huan and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhao Luoxuan watched in fear.
