The ship belonged to King Jinnan. He was very wealthy and bought it directly from the Ministry of Works of the Imperial Court in his capacity as King Jinnan. It could accommodate a thousand people.
The number of people they brought was more than enough.
As the sun gradually rose, Empress Xue looked at the rising sun and leaned on the emperor's shoulder: "Brother Zhao, we're sure we'll get what we want this time!"
The emperor patted her shoulder: "Don't be too nervous. You'll definitely get what you want. Sister-in-law Gu is two years older than you, and she got pregnant too."
Empress Xue said worriedly, "Brother Zhao, as long as Jue'er doesn't harm us in the future, let him live a carefree life like Prince Kang, okay?"
Jue'er is the Third Prince.
The emperor nodded, but sighed inwardly. Could anyone compare to Prince Kang? Prince Kang was the smartest man in the Great Zhou!
Even if he were gone, and his son succeeded him, he believed that Prince Kang would be able to preserve the Prince Kang's residence.
The most important thing for a person is to know what they should and shouldn't do, especially for a son born into royalty.
King Kang was clearly aware of this.
The couple stood there for a while longer before returning to their cabin. It was July sunshine!
...
The Gu family only received a letter from their eldest uncle, informing them that he had returned to Kuncheng with Queen Dugu and Prince Jinnan. They were unaware that the Empress Dowager and her two grandchildren were coming.
Right now, the Gu family is preparing a traditional first birthday celebration for Gu Xiaoba.
Gu Xiaoba is one year old.
Last year, Gu Nian was captured by Yan Mo, and Cai Xiaolian suffered a miscarriage and gave birth prematurely. A year has passed without them realizing it.
Various objects were displayed in the hall. The chubby Gu Xiaoba, dressed in a red onesie and with silver bracelets on his limbs, was crawling on the ground.
The whole family looked around, and Gu Xiaoba seemed to have a hard time choosing when faced with so many things that had suddenly appeared, not knowing what to take.
Ten months old, Dugu Mingyue struggled to leave Grandpa Gu's arms, walked to Gu Xiaoba's side, took his chubby little hand, and led him to a seal: "I want this!"
Gu Xiaoba was taken aback and turned to look at his parents.
Gu Shouxin looked at him without saying anything, and Cai Xiaolian just smiled and didn't give him any advice.
Dugu Mingyue squatted down, picked up the seal, and placed it in Gu Xiaoba's hand: "Take it!"
Gu Xiaoba held it in both hands, pursing her lips.
Dugu Mingyue: "Don't cry, laugh."
Gu Xiaoba immediately laughed.
Gu Ren stepped forward speechlessly and poked Dugu Mingyue's head: "You brat, it's not like it's your first birthday celebration, what are you doing!"
Dugu Mingyue rolled her eyes at Gu Ren, then led Gu Xiaoba towards Grandpa and Grandma Gu.
The two little ones even tripped and fell on the way, but they didn't cry. They got up and went over to show the stamp to Grandpa and Grandma Gu.
Grandpa Gu laughed heartily: "Good, good, does Xiao Ba like this seal?"
Gu Xiaoba nodded.
Grandpa Gu picked up his grandson and said, "I'm glad you like him! I'm glad you like him! Inherit your father's talent, study hard in the future, and become a pillar of the Great Zhou!"
Gu Xiaoba was lifted high and laughed along, drool dripping down his face.
The Gu family members looked at each other, unsure whether the forced "first birthday celebration" counted.
A few months ago, during Gu Xiaoqi's first birthday celebration, the child grabbed a gold ingot and wouldn't let go.
Gu Ren looked frustrated. He wanted to teach his two younger brothers to take all of them, but they didn't get any. The two of them weren't greedy at all and only took one item.
Does that mean that brat Dugu Mingyue gave Xiao Ba a plan and he accepted it?
