After being amazed, Cui Changan was actually worried that he might have attracted the attention of the Queen Mother.
But considering that the empress dowager's life was saved by Xiao Wu twice, and everything in front of her was Xiao Wu's credit, how could she still have the nerve to care?
Cui Changan just lets it be.
Of course the Queen Mother wanted to make a fuss, but she also knew that she didn't have the money to do so.
Her father and brother were both dead, and she had no one to rely on in the court.
Her son's throne still needs Cui Chang'an to protect it...what else can she do?
I can only endure my anger.
After a tasteless wedding banquet and returning to the palace in anger, the Queen Mother yelled at the palace maid who served her the tea because the tea was too hot.
After a few slaps, my rationality gradually returned: What's the use?
He didn't even dare to scold Cui Changan and his wife.
Aunt Hua waited until her outburst was over before having everyone leave and carefully helping her change her wet clothes.
"My Queen Mother, are you feeling better now?"
"If you are still not happy, will you hit me twice to vent your anger?"
"Don't hold back your anger..."
The Queen Mother pursed her lips, suddenly feeling very aggrieved, tears rolling down her eyes.
"Madam Hua, you said that all the concubines can leave, why can't I leave?"
Aunt Hua: "You are joking, Madam. You still have the Emperor! Your son is the Son of Heaven. How can those people compare to you?"
The Queen Mother couldn't stop her tears. "But I am about the same age as them, both in our prime."
"They all ran away, leaving me alone to be a clay and wooden sculpture in this deep palace for the rest of my life?"
"That Fu Jiaxin is just the daughter of a poor scholar. I don't know what kind of weird magic she learned from Taoist priests. How could she be able to suppress me?"
"I gave her a phoenix crown as a reward, but she didn't like it. I don't know where she got such a phoenix crown from, and she wore it arrogantly when she got married..."
"How brave is she?"
"She is overstepping her authority!"
"And Cui Changan, I used to know him well. How could he let that country girl be so presumptuous in front of me?"
Aunt Hua understood: The Empress Dowager is actually trying to compete for favor with Princess Jiaxing?
This is a solution.
After all, back then...
If the Regent is really willing to take care of the Queen Mother, both the Queen Mother and I will have a much better life in the future.
"What can the lady do?"
How would the Queen Mother know what to do?
She just feels angry!
She was indignant that the man she looked down upon in the past now controlled her destiny.
Especially since this man doesn't care about his dignity and face at all.
The next morning, when Xiao Wu woke up, Cui Changan was already up, dressed neatly and sitting by the window waiting for her, with a book in his hand.
Seeing that she woke up, he immediately stood up and walked over to her: "Are you feeling well?"
Xiao Wu: "Aren't you going to court?"
As the regent of the current dynasty, and at a time of transition from the old to the new, he had to handle state affairs.
He is the commander of the Golden Scale Guard, and when the political situation is turbulent, he must also calm these people down in the court.
Wedding leave?
Does not exist.
Cui Changan sighed: "I'm ready to leave now. If you don't wake up, I can't wait any longer."
Xiao Wu quickly stood up: "It's all your fault."
Looking at the fire avoidance map last night, Cui Changan was full of curiosity: "Can it be like this? This..."
Young people, when they first try something, will inevitably be greedy for pleasure and end up doing it a little late.
When the two of them were sitting in the carriage heading to the palace, Cui Changan said, "Shall we stay in the palace tomorrow?"
"This way you can sleep half an hour longer."
Xiao Wu said it was okay: "It's comfortable to sleep at Cui's house."
"It's not a good place to sleep in the palace."
I don’t know which word touched Cui Changan’s heart, but his ears turned suspiciously red.
He looked at Xiao Wu hesitantly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Xiao Wu was surprised: "What's wrong with you?"
Cui Changan mustered up his courage and said, "What you did last night was...very good."
Xiao Wu: "What?"
Cui Changan's face turned red now: "Just...what do you want from me? Just tell me..."
"Whatever you want..."
Xiao Wu understood immediately: he was talking about what happened in bed last night.
Xiao Wu never puts herself in a difficult position. She will tell Cui Changan whether she feels comfortable or uncomfortable.
It's normal for people to make some noise when they are excited...
I didn’t expect Cui Changan to bring it up on his own initiative and blush?
She couldn't help but want to tease him: "Why? Are you still thinking about what happened last night?"
Cui Changan suppressed his embarrassment and nodded, his eyes sparkling: "What is your attitude towards this kind of thing?"
Xiao Wu couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, you're so cute..."
She selectively talked about the attitude towards love and marriage in Sirius Time and Space.
Cui Changan was confused: Both sides are almost the same?
Why does Xiao Wu seem so comfortable in this regard?
She is not as shy as other young ladies in bed, but she is also willing to make requests?
Xiao Wu seemed to see his curiosity, and explained with a smile: "You also know that I can travel through time and space to come to you, and I can also go back to my side."
“I’ve probably seen more of the world and more people, and I’ve seen the essence of some things more clearly.”
“So I am willing to enjoy my present life…”
Cui Changan listened, feeling yearning and fearful: "If you see a man better than me somewhere else in the future, will you not come back?"
With this anxious look on his face, how can he still be the high and mighty Regent?
Xiao Wu half-jokingly and half-seriously said: "I won't waste my time on a man who has changed his mind."
"Will you change your mind?"
Cui Changan shook his head like a rattle: "Of course not."
Xiao Wu touched his handsome face: "Isn't that enough?"
Cui Changan couldn't help but lean over and pecked her lips, and ordered with bluffing: "I won't allow you to change your mind! You are my wife! You are not allowed to leave me."
The couple entered the palace laughing and attending court.
Cui Chang'an and his wife, one civil and one military, held a court meeting for most of the day and decided to temporarily place the late emperor's coffin in Qianlong Temple until the imperial mausoleum was completed.
The late emperor had never expected that he would die just after ascending the throne. The construction of the imperial mausoleum had just begun and it would take at least three or two years to complete.
Then there are the routine affairs of the court, taxation, city defense, and official transfers...
After finishing all the trivial things, it was almost dark.
Someone came from the Empress Dowager's palace and said that the Regent and his wife and the Emperor were invited to have dinner together.
The emperor would definitely go, but why did she invite the two of them?
Cui Changan looked at Xiao Wu: You decide.
Xiao Wu refused of course: "Let's go home and eat, shall we?"
The nanny looked at Cui Changan and said, "If the princess is not free, the regent can go there."
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother has something to ask you."
The posture is extremely low.
Xiao Wu was surprised and subconsciously glanced at Cui Changan: The target is Cui Changan?
Things are getting interesting.
"Then let's go together."
There was even a hint of regret in that nanny's eyes.
Xiao Wu was even more surprised: She only wanted Cui Changan to go?
With a curious mind, Cui Changan held the little emperor in his arms, and Xiao Wu followed behind, and the group went to the Cining Palace.
The lights in the Cining Palace were lit early.
Although the Empress Dowager was wearing plain clothes, she was obviously wearing makeup.
The makeup was so light that most men couldn't tell, but Xiao Wu could tell at a glance.
Her hair was combed simply yet delicately, and the pearl earrings and pearl hairpin made her look even more beautiful under the light.
Cui Changan was unaware of what was happening and asked, "I heard that the Queen wanted to see me. Is there something she wants to ask?"
"What is it?"
The Queen Mother adjusted her hairpin and smiled her most beautiful smile: "No hurry, let's eat first..." (End of this chapter)
