Gu Xin nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mother is right. I also think Father and Uncle look more and more alike, so cute!"
Gu Shouxin: "!"
He's seen everything since he lived so long, and someone actually said he was cute. He just wanted to laugh it off.
Seeing that Gu Shouxin seemed determined to continue talking, Cai Xiaolian quickly gave Gu Xin a wink, signaling her to go back to sleep.
Gu Xin understood completely, stood up and waved to the two of them: "Father, Mother, I'm going back to my room! You two should go to sleep early too!"
After saying that, he happily slipped away.
Cai Xiaolian turned to look at Gu Shouxin again, and lo and behold, this guy was looking at her with a wronged expression.
"Xiao Lian, you despise me!" Gu Shouxin said aggrievedly.
"Yes, that's right, I find you repulsive!" Cai Xiaolian walked over to Gu Shouxin and sat down. "My husband is forty years old, but he's still like a child. I have three sons, not four!"
Gu Shouxin hugged Cai Xiaolian tightly.
Cai Xiaolian smiled helplessly.
"You're not allowed to dislike me!" Gu Shouxin said seriously.
"My Lord, if you keep going like this, your image is going to collapse!" Cai Xiaolian said with a helpless smile.
"My public persona is that of a good husband to Madam Gu the Second. It hasn't collapsed, it has never collapsed!" Gu Shouxin sat up straight, placed his hands on Cai Xiaolian's shoulders, looked at her earnestly, and said.
Cai Xiaolian was taken aback.
This is the eighth year since they transmigrated. They are both almost forty, but the man in front of them seems to be getting older and older. He is no longer as serious as he was at the beginning, and has even become more youthful.
Moreover, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the officials in the court at this age have small mustaches, but her Ninth Prince always grooms himself to look as smart and energetic as when he first transmigrated.
In Cai Xiaolian's eyes, thirty to forty is the best age range in a man's life, when he is neither too old nor too immature, but mature and steady.
"Yes, yes, your image hasn't collapsed, not at all. You drank so much last night, and you drank so much today too. Go to sleep! Huihui and Niannian are coming back tomorrow, and Grandpa Peng and Duke Chengen are coming too, as are Prince Kang and his family of four. We're busy!" Cai Xiaolian said, slapping Gu Shouxin away.
"Sigh! Why did Grandpa Peng and his sons come to our house to join in the fun? It would have been enough if Huihui and Peng Ze had just come back. There were also the Duke of Chengen and his wife, and the Kang family. This is Huihui and Niannian going back to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, not our family hosting a dinner party. These people, really..." Gu Shouxin kept nagging, but he obediently took off his clothes and went to bed.
"I'm just afraid that if I don't attend court these next few days, the Emperor will come with the Empress and the Crown Prince. That would be quite a show!" Cai Xiaolian also got into bed and then mentioned what Gu Ren had said yesterday, "By the way, Renren told me last night that the Crown Prince is acting strangely. That kid even tried to test him! What do you think?"
“I think the little prince is normal. It’s just that Empress Xue was old back then, and we were worried that her pregnancy wasn’t very stable, so we added too many jade beads to the medicine we gave her to help her maintain her pregnancy. The boy absorbed too much of it, so naturally his brain became smarter!” Gu Shouxin didn’t think there was anything wrong with the little prince and even explained it to Cai Xiaolian.
"Isn't he a bit too clever? To be honest, like Renren, I also think he's a bit abnormal," Cai Xiaolian said.
