"Gu Huai, forget it. They are just being cautious. There is no need to get angry with them." Xie Yunjiao said.
The eunuch stood aside with his head lowered, not daring to say a word, but he was amazed in his heart, thinking that this queen was really brave. Although the emperor has not officially ascended the throne yet, he is still the emperor above everyone else!
This queen is quite good. She calls the emperor by his name in front of everyone without any fear.
Just by looking at the expressions of the eunuchs, Gu Huai knew what they were thinking.
Gu Huai got angry again and said, "From now on, as long as the Empress is here, none of you can come in. Go out and wait."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this isn't a good idea." The chief eunuch looked at Gu Huai with embarrassment.
He was someone Ye Baien had brought in, so naturally he would side with Gu Huai.
If Gu Huai goes too far, he will remind him.
In the future, he will continue to stay by Gu Huai's side and take care of him until he can no longer do so.
"It's okay. Nothing will happen to me here. You all can leave." Xie Yunjiao said.
The head eunuch said to the other eunuchs, "You must remember that the queen is the only disciple of Master Ye. You are not allowed to act unruly in front of her in the future. Do you understand?"
Several eunuchs were shocked. They had just entered the palace and knew nothing, and they almost offended someone.
There has been a major personnel change in the palace, and almost everyone who can be replaced has been replaced. Both the masters and the servants are in the process of getting used to each other.
After those people left, Xie Yunjiao said, "We don't have many people anyway, so why not reduce the number of people and just keep people to take care of the daily work."
Anyway, she has long been accustomed to doing things by herself and doesn't like too many people around her.
Gu Huai said, "It's all up to you."
Xie Yunjiao picked up a piece of Doudou's favorite snack and said, "Of course you have to do as I say, unless you want more people to enter the palace."
Gu Huai waved his hand: "I can't even favor everyone enough, how can I treat everyone equally?"
"Do you still want to treat everyone equally?" Xie Yunjiao pinched Gu Huai's waist.
Gu Huai felt a pain in his waist and couldn't help laughing.
"The kidneys are good." Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.
Gu Huai narrowed his eyes and twisted his mouth: "How about tonight we..."
Suddenly, Doudou beside him coughed lightly and said, "Father, the country is the most important."
Gu Huai: “…” Screw your mother’s country.
No, no, isn't this scolding my wife?
"Madam, look at this child, he is becoming more and more presumptuous!" Gu Huai said in pretended anger.
But Doudou was seriously tasting the snacks made by Xie Yunjiao without blinking.
After he finished his snacks, he gracefully put down his chopsticks and said to Gu Huai, "Father, it's time to rest. It's time to continue reviewing the memorials."
Gu Huai was filled with rage. He hadn't even started eating yet, so how could it be over?!
He doesn't care.
"Ma'am, feed me."
No, he hasn’t even started eating yet, why is Xie Yunjiao already cleaning up?
Isn't this bullying him?
"I'll put it aside for you and keep it warm. You can eat it later when you can rest." Xie Yunjiao said.
Gu Huai held Xie Yunjiao's hand and said, "But I don't want you to leave."
He finally got to see his wife, and he didn't want to lose her sight again so soon.
"Once you get on track, it won't be so hard anymore," said Xie Yunjiao.
Gu Huai took a deep breath helplessly: "Okay then."
Xie Yunjiao said to Gu Huai again: "I won't leave. I will stay by your side. If you need anything, call me anytime."
Gu Huai's face lit up with joy and he quickly responded with "OK".
He raised his eyebrows proudly at Doudou, as if to say, see, my wife cares about me the most.
Doudou muttered softly, "Childish."
After a while, the auspicious day for his enthronement finally arrived.
Gu Huai and Xie Yunjiao, wearing robes embroidered with dragons and phoenixes respectively, and crowns, walked up the ladder step by step, accompanied by the officials' cheers of "Long live the emperor" and the deafening sound of ritual music.
Officials knelt at their feet, and when they reached the top, everyone knelt at their feet.
Gu Huai looked down at the officials and people below him, raised his hand and said domineeringly: "My dear ministers, please stand up."
Everyone slowly stood up and looked at their heroic and majestic new emperor and his queen Xie Yunjiao, who was as brave as a man.
Gu Wei was watching from below and felt touched.
She held a sachet in her hand, which she made by cutting up the man's blood-stained clothes.
This way it's like he's always by her side.
She murmured to herself into the sachet, "Did you see? Our children are very good."
Gu Huai ascended the throne, changed the reign title to the first year of Wuxi, and announced a general amnesty.
After the coronation ceremony, Xie Yunjiao returned to her bedroom, her head almost broken by the phoenix crown.
"Master, let Lian'er give you a massage." Lian'er said.
There weren't many palace maids around Xie Yunjiao. Apart from the one who did odd jobs, there was only Lian'er.
Lian'er had long seen how hard Xie Yunjiao worked, so as soon as she returned to the bedroom, she wanted to make Xie Yunjiao feel more comfortable.
Xie Yunjiao only asked Lian'er to help take off the phoenix crown and then let Lian'er go to rest.
Lian'er paused with her raised hand, not knowing where to put it.
She always felt that the princess was different from before, and she seemed to dislike her no longer, so she hardly asked her to help with anything.
Before, when Xie Yunjiao and her friends went on a long trip, they left her in Nanyue City and never thought of taking her out.
She even had the nerve to ask, but Xie Yunjiao said the journey was dangerous and asked her to help take care of several elderly people in South Vietnam.
But the elderly people all had people around them and didn't need her care at all.
"Master, if Lian'er has done anything wrong, you might as well tell me, Lian'er will change it." Lian'er said with red eyes.
Seeing Lian'er about to cry, Xie Yunjiao hurriedly said, "Lian'er, don't misunderstand me. I'm just used to doing things myself. And I saw that you've been standing with me all day today and must be tired, so I wanted to let you rest."
Lian'er heard Xie Yunjiao's caring tone, and she hurriedly said, "Lian'er is not tired. Can Lian'er give you a massage?"
Xie Yunjiao thought that if she didn't let Lian'er massage her, she would probably cry.
After agreeing to Lian'er's request, Lian'er finally smiled happily.
After the registration ceremony and enthronement ceremony, everything was settled.
Xie Yunjiao brought all the elderly people in her family into the palace, arranged a bedroom for each of them, and arranged people to serve them.
Taking them to play mahjong and do exercise makes life very enjoyable.
Even Gu Wei, who was usually depressed, had a happy and cheerful smile on her face.
When playing mahjong, he is even crazier than anyone else.
They were playing mahjong that day when the palace maid announced that Madam Wu had entered the palace and brought some specialties from Qinghe Town.
