"Hehe, Uncle Ye, you don't know yet, do you? My sister Nian Nian is amazing! She makes her own ice, without having to buy any. She even made a kind of iced drink called shaved ice, with fruit and dried fruit on top. Oh my, I can't take it anymore, my mouth is watering!" Gu En said, slurping his saliva and smacking his lips.
Emperor: That brat did it on purpose! Hearing this makes me want to immediately grab Gu Nian and make me a serving!
"Master Ye, it's getting late. You must have just arrived in the city! Have you arranged your lodgings?" Lu Zheng asked.
"No!" The emperor shook his head. "You've arranged accommodations for us, kid."
Lu Zheng: I was just asking politely. Your Majesty, who would believe you if you said you had nowhere to stay?
“Uncle Ye, let’s go stay at Brother Yuan’s house! It’s not far at all. Brother Yuan said there are five rooms. Brother Yuan, Brother Blackface, and I will share one room, Uncle Ye, you will share one room, and the guards will share one room. There will still be two rooms left!” Gu En said immediately.
Lu Zheng looked at Gu En helplessly. "You're really something, using my house as a favor."
"Alright, the remaining two rooms are just right for my mother." The emperor smiled with satisfaction.
Xue Qianyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the emperor's happy expression, he thought, "Forget it, Your Majesty, as long as you're happy. I'll just send someone to the prefect's office."
"Uncle Ye, your mother, should I call her Grandma?" Gu En asked.
“Yes, you should call her Grandma. My son is older than you, so it won’t be wrong for you to call her Grandma,” the emperor nodded and said.
His elderly mother harbored the heart of a young girl. After his father's death, she was completely distraught. If it weren't for the various folk tales and anecdotes about the court officials' private lives that kept her going, she probably would have followed her father in death.
His elderly mother likes children quite a bit, but she doesn't approve of any of his sons or daughters. I guess this family-oriented child is alright!
"Zhao'er, have you found a place to stay?" At this moment, Empress Dowager Jiang got off the carriage and asked Lu Zheng and Gu En.
Xue Qianyu and Lu Zheng: Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, you're pretending too! With you by my side, do you think we'd be homeless?
This mother and son are really good at acting.
"Oh my, is this the young man from the Zhou family that you mentioned, Zhao'er? He's indeed quite handsome. In terms of looks and temperament, he's just as good as the other." Empress Dowager Jiang looked Lu Zheng up and down. He looked exactly like that scumbag from the Lu family. Poor Jia, she married such a man. Fortunately, Yuan Yuan grew up safely.
"Greetings, Madam." Lu Zheng bowed.
"Wow! Grandma, you look so young! If I didn't know you were Uncle Ye's mother, I would have thought you were Uncle Ye's sister! Grandma, you are so beautiful! You look like the Queen Mother of the West!" Gu En exclaimed.
Empress Dowager Jiang was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "You're so young, yet you've seen the Queen Mother of the West in heaven?"
Gu En blinked and shook her head, saying, "No. But I'll know what the Queen Mother of the West looks like once I see you! My father said that the girl he likes doesn't have a specific image; once you see her, you'll know what she looks like. It's the same as the image of a deity; there's no specific image, but you'll know what she looks like once you see her. Noble, dignified, and with an innate air of nobility."
Emperor: Young man, you have a bright future. You even made my old mother laugh. You are the first among all the children.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu: What did you Gu family kids eat to grow up? Did you grow up eating flattery? Or do you all have a pair of sharp eyes that know whose flattery is effective?
