Chapter 904: Three Years of Rest and Recuperation
Gu Yunyan was surrounded by people who were willing to do anything to kill her as long as they couldn't kill her. This was the first time she met such a contented family. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
She was a little uncomfortable, but she loved going back to the palace more and more.
As long as she returned to the palace, she could relax completely, without having to worry about the turmoil in the court or the affairs of the business world.
In the following months, there were great changes in the court.
Gu Yunting took his family out to sea again.
Gu Xuanming was appointed the Inspector of Kyushu, responsible for touring the states to see how people's livelihood was and whether there were any officials who were corrupt or committing crimes.
As for Gu Yunyan, Gu Nanxi transferred her to the Ministry of Personnel as a minister after asking for her opinion.
The Ministry of Personnel is a very complicated department.
Not only are the relationships within the department complicated and filled with intrigue, but even daily work involves various forces, and one can meet thousands of people with thousands of faces.
For Gu Yunyan, serving as the Minister of Personnel while pregnant was a huge challenge.
Because sometimes she can't understand the twists and turns in other people's words.
Often, it would be several days after the incident before she realized what had happened.
"Are you very tired recently? Your Majesty, you have lost weight." Lu Qing moved and gently massaged Gu Yunyan's shoulders.
Gu Yunyan leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.
Today, she was used as a gun again.
A few days ago, when she was about to go off duty, she met Senior Brother Lan, who was the county magistrate in Hezhong County.
He came to Kyoto to report on his work.
Seeing that he was in an embarrassment and frowning, Gu Yunyan thought of their friendship when they went to school together at Baichuan Academy, so she stopped him and asked him if he had encountered any difficulties.
Senior Brother Lan repeatedly said no.
Gu Yunyan invited him to have a drink at a nearby teahouse.
After reminiscing about the past several times, Gu Yunyan finally asked Senior Brother Lan why he was troubled.
It turned out that it was his immediate superior who wanted to interfere in the military supply matters. Senior Brother Lan had no evidence and didn't know how to stop him.
The army is an important guarantee for Dayun, and can we allow others to interfere?
After Gu Yunyan comforted Senior Brother Lan, she sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Half a month later, she found evidence of the other party's crime. Fortunately, he only took the cotton-padded jacket and did not touch the food and fodder.
Today, she took these evidences and went to see A Niang.
A Niang only glanced at her, then dismissed all the officials and investigated and dealt with them according to law.
She was quite happy at first, but on the way back, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Where is Hezhong County?
That was the place where Li Mingde operated. How dare those people reach out to the army? More importantly, how could they succeed?!
My shift times are irregular, sometimes I leave early, sometimes I leave late. How could it be such a coincidence that I ran into Senior Brother Lan at the door?
well.
Gu Yunyan sighed deeply. She felt very proud when she got the information from Senior Brother Lan. She thought she had made progress, but in the end she fell into his trap.
Lu Qing's voice was as clear as spring water, and it was filled with gentle doting: "Don't worry, take your time. Your Majesty is behind you. Even if you poke a hole in the sky, Your Majesty can hold it up with you."
"You are right."
Gu Yunyan finally understood what her elder brother said.
Even though Li Mingde was his sworn brother and most of the officials in Hezhong County graduated from Baichuan Academy, they still used him to attack the forces sent to the local areas by the court.
Although the official sent there was indeed not upright, he was able to succeed in corruption only because of the leniency of Li Mingde and others.
In order to maintain their power in Hezhong County, they did not hesitate to make certain sacrifices in military supplies.
It turned out that he and his mother were really different. They would never dare to do this in front of his mother!
…
Spring goes and autumn comes, and this year's autumn harvest is once again fruitful.
The high yield of the divine seeds made the entire Dayun excited. Even Da Zhou had heard of the divine seeds and was extremely envious.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty sent spies to Dayun, wanting to steal some divine seeds and bring them back, but Dayun’s supervision in this regard was so strict that the spies did not find any opportunity to take advantage of.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very angry about this. It is said that even the Empress was beaten by him on the face and she did not show up for a long time.
When the spring plowing season came the following year, Gu Yunyan started the work ahead of schedule and gave birth to a baby girl weighing six catties and two ounces.
The little girl had skin as white as snow, deep facial features, slightly curly hair, and eyelashes as thick as a feather fan. She didn't look like a baby who was born prematurely at all.
All the guests who came to visit knew it all. Considering the child's appearance and date of birth, they concluded that the child's biological father must not be Lu Qing.
Be it Lu Qing or the Lu family, they didn't care about the rumors outside.
The King of West Sea said that the child’s father was Lu Qing, so it was Lu Qing.
When she is old enough and becomes a Royal Jade Butterfly, her father will also be Lu Qing!
Lu Qing liked the little girl very much and held her in his arms tightly.
If it weren't for her, how could I become the husband of the King of the West Sea? How could I live the good life I have now?
Gu Yunyan was busy with official duties and had little time to spend with her child. Lu Qing took care of the child himself and raised him with great care. The child became even more attached to Lu Qing.
Gu Yunyan was very satisfied with this, and occasionally joked with Lu Qing: "Now that you have a father, you forget your mother."
"How could that be possible? You carried her for ten months and raised her up, so she is closer to you." Lu Qing really liked this little girl and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, are you willing to give me a name?"
Gu Yunyan: "The fat boy in my second brother's family is called Gu Yuanzhe, and our girl also follows the character Yuan in her generation name, so she is called Gu Yuansi."
Lu Qing's eyes lit up. He was actually the emperor's grandson!
Yuansi, Yuansi, this name carries Gu Nanxi's good wishes, but it must be said that it seems to be the wrong name.
Ever since he could crawl, Gu Yuansi has been a restless person, crawling all over the yard.
Lu Qing loved her so much that he covered the entire house with wool carpets.
After the carpet was laid, she didn't want to crawl anymore. Instead, she took her chubby little legs and tremblingly tried to run.
Lu Qing was helpless: "You can't even walk yet, and you want to run."
The child grew up with the wind, and Lu Qing's complaints seemed to be still in front of his eyes, and Gu Yuansi learned to walk.
This is terrible.
There were more than ten people including the wet nurse and the maids. They dared not miss a single thing. If they were not careful, this little ancestor would have no idea where he would have hidden.
Lu Qing visibly enjoyed it.
Gu Yunyan felt sorry for him, so she packed up Gu Yuansi and threw him into the palace, and said confidently: "The little fat boy has been with you for so long, you can't be partial to him!"
"Get out of here now."
When did Gu Nanxi see the child?
Gu Yuansi was fearless. He stretched out his chubby little hand to pull the hairpin on Gu Nanxi's head, but was held down by Gu Nanxi.
What an energetic little guy, what a headache!
"Xiaohua! Xiaohua!"
Gu Nanxi called Xiaohua.
A majestic figure with smooth hair jumped in from the window.
Gu Nanxi placed Gu Yuansi's hand on Xiaohua's paw and reminded her, "You can drive a sheep alone or release a flock of sheep. I'll leave this fat girl to you. Raise her together with your three children."
“Ah?!”
