Unable to name Gu Shouxin's child, the emperor turned his attention to the unborn son of Gu's eldest uncle and fourth uncle.
He then pulled Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu aside and poured out his grievances, just like Uncle Gu poured out his grievances to the Empress Dowager.
Grandma Gu got annoyed with him and simply ignored him.
Well, the emperor, being a masochist, felt that it was no wonder they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; he actually felt the disdain from his grandmother in his aunt.
The royal uncle and royal aunt were probably switched at birth, right? Actually, the royal aunt is the royal grandmother's biological daughter, and the royal uncle is the son of the Goddess Kingdom.
Of course, this was just something he dared to think about; he wouldn't dare to say it out loud.
In the end, Grandpa Gu agreed. As for naming the child, as long as the parents are willing, you can name it.
The emperor was overjoyed.
The emperor also said that the ninth and tenth children were born at noon, which was a lucky time, and that the two children were very clever.
He then went to Gu Shouxin and said, "Gu Lao Er, the children are now surnamed Ye. Are you really not planning to give them an imperial education or something?"
Gu Shouxin: ...So you know I'm good at imperial education!
He shook his head firmly: "Your Majesty is joking, I am terrified!"
The emperor looked down on him: "You were more fun when you were just a lowly scholar. I should have known better than to make you the top scholar."
Gu Shouxin was speechless.
After a few years in Da Zhou, he discovered a truth.
In the world he used to live in, the throne was something every member of the royal family wanted, as long as they had royal blood.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, every descendant with royal blood desired the throne.
For example, the current emperor, as well as his father and the previous emperor, were all forced to take the throne.
For example, King Kang's father, the old King Kang, was also a half-brother of Grandpa Gu.
Take the Gu brothers, for example; they are the kind of family everyone desires.
In contrast, King Qu's father had to address the Empress Dowager as his sister-in-law. Like Grandpa Gu, King Qu was the grandson of Emperor Taizu. Unfortunately, he wanted the throne and schemed for decades, but failed to obtain it. In the end, he became a monk and died in the temple.
Gu Shouxin couldn't quite understand the Ye family of the Great Zhou royal family anymore.
However, whether he understood it or not, he did not want to be emperor. He had three sons, whom he had finally obtained, and he only hoped that they would live a good life. He did not want his brothers to kill each other for the throne.
Therefore, the final result was that the throne was useless; whoever wanted it could take it, since he didn't want it anyway.
Seeing her husband return to the carefree, youthful state he was before ascending the throne after leaving the palace, Empress Xue felt her heart had become much younger.
When everyone went inside to see Cai Xiaolian in the evening, she went along too.
She gave birth to the third prince more than ten years ago and has not had any more children since. Looking at Cai Xiaolian's postpartum condition, she was very envious. Is Kunzhou really a good place?
If she really is pregnant, wouldn't it be better if she gave birth in Kunzhou?
Empress Xue subconsciously touched her belly, and Cai Xiaolian immediately saw through her thoughts.
After all the visitors had left, and only Gu Shouxin remained, Cai Xiaolian, unusually, spoke to Gu Shouxin about important state affairs: "My dear husband, do you think we should give the Empress some jade beads?"
Gu Shouxin sat down next to Cai Xiaolian, blew on the scalding hot water in the spoon, and fed it to Cai Xiaolian: "Hmm? Why do you say that?"
Cai Xiaolian took a sip naturally, then said, "Because the Third Prince is not up to the task! Because we must survive in the Great Zhou!"
