Chapter 472: The Gu family holds a banquet! The prince climbs over the wall!
Gu An’s full moon happened to be on New Year’s Eve. After some discussion, the Gu family decided not to hold a full moon banquet, but to hold a grand one hundred days later.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai have already agreed that they will not have any more children in the future. They have already had a good son in this life and have no regrets.
Although people in ancient times valued having many children and auspiciousness, the Gu family respected the ideas of the two.
The elders prepared valuable gifts for Gu An, and Qin Zhizhi couldn't stop them.
When Gu Nian was born, he received gifts that filled several warehouses, and now Gu An's is even more exaggerated.
Gu An’s hundred-day banquet was very grand, and all the families related to the Gu family attended.
The queen's second brother and sister-in-law attended the banquet in person just to see Gu Jingshu.
After meeting the man, the couple felt completely relieved. He was a righteous and modest gentleman. He was indeed the person recommended by the queen and was reliable.
The Gu family knew it very well, and Qin Zhizhi even specifically instructed Gu Jinghuai to take Jingshu to greet the Queen's second brother.
Gu Jingshu didn't know the twists and turns here, so he didn't try to show off and was very easygoing.
This kind of naturally expressed temperament is more real and more satisfying.
Gu Jinghuai also specially arranged Gu Jingshu to sit at the table of the Queen's second brother to help entertain the guests.
The Queen's niece also came today. Mu was very satisfied when she saw her and had a happy chat with the Queen's second sister-in-law.
The prince also took time to come over. His wedding to Gu Jingyao was approaching, and the two families would soon be one family, so naturally he had to come.
Everyone once again witnessed the honor and favor of the Gu family.
The banquet ended very late. Knowing that her sister-in-law didn't like to do these things, Gu Jingyao took the initiative to take over the task of sorting out the gifts her nephew received today.
"Sister-in-law, leave it to me to sort out the gifts An An received at her 100-day party!"
"Yao'er, you are already so busy, where do you have free time?"
Qin Zhizhi knew that Gu Jingyao was studying with the maid in the palace, and was also embroidering her wedding dress and preparing for her marriage, so she was very busy.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, it's a good opportunity to practice!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Yaoer!"
Qin Zhizhi knew that Gu Jingyao was just making an excuse. The girl just felt sorry for her and wanted to help.
"It's not hard at all. I'll take someone to clean it up tomorrow so I don't disturb my brother and sister-in-law. Aunt Nian Nian will go back first."
After Gu Jingyao discussed the matter with her sister-in-law, she stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, she did not forget to say something to her little niece.
"Aunt, see you tomorrow!"
Little Dumpling is very attached to her aunt now. She loves this gentle and kind aunt the most.
"Aunt will come and have breakfast with Nian Nian tomorrow."
Gu Jingyao looked at her niece's reluctant eyes, touched her head and discussed with her, and Gu Nian nodded obediently.
After a tiring day, after Gu Jingyao left, Qingliu took Gu Nian to wash up first. Little Tuanzi was already six years old and no longer lived in the same room with Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai.
Qin Zhizhi arranged a separate courtyard for her, which was very close to her and Gu Jinghuai's courtyard, and also arranged for someone trustworthy to take care of her.
Gu Nianfeng was indeed tired after playing all day, so he obediently followed Qingliu to wash up.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai also hurried to wash up. Qin Zhizhi felt extremely tired.
The maid had already prepared bath water for her. After taking a hot bath, she felt much more comfortable.
When Qin Zhizhi returned to the bedroom, Gu Jinghuai had already taken a shower and was looking after the children.
I had experience taking care of my daughter, so taking care of my son is very easy now.
"Are you asleep?" Qin Zhizhi tiptoed to the bedside and asked in a low voice.
"He made a little noise just now, but I've coaxed him to sleep. He must be exhausted today!"
Gu Jinghuai was originally sitting by the bed watching over the child. Now that Qin Zhizhi had returned, he stood up and helped his wife sit down by the bed.
"That's right. The weather was cold a while ago, and since I didn't want to move since I was with An An, I relaxed and became lazy."
Qin Zhizhi sat down on the edge of the bed. She was really tired today.
"Let me give you a massage to relieve your fatigue!"
Gu Jinghuai felt sorry for Qin Zhizhi and started to massage her to help her relieve her fatigue.
"Thank you, my husband!"
Although she was physically exhausted, Qin Zhizhi felt extremely warm inside because of her husband's thoughtfulness.
Gu Jinghuai stopped talking and concentrated on massaging Qin Zhizhi. Qin Zhizhi closed her eyes comfortably and fell asleep under the massage of her husband.
Gu Jinghuai listened until there was no sound, and when he looked over, Qin Zhizhi had fallen asleep.
Gu Jinghuai gently carried his wife to the bed, covered her with a quilt, looked at his son again, and then hugged his wife and fell asleep.
In Gu Jingyao's yard.
After Gu Jingyao returned from her elder brother and sister-in-law's courtyard, she found the prince already sitting there drinking tea as soon as she entered the boudoir.
Gu Jingyao was so shocked that she almost cried out. "Brother Yan, didn't you return to the palace?"
"I'm back again. Yao'er has been busy all day and has no time to talk to me. I'm so sad. I don't want to go back to the palace!"
The prince started to act coquettishly towards Gu Jingyao. After all, in front of his own princess, his face could be ignored.
"The palace gates have been locked at this time. Where are you staying tonight?" Gu Jingyao was a little anxious.
"Just lock it, I can just guard the door for Yao'er at night!"
The prince had made up his mind not to return to the palace, and seeing the little girl getting anxious, he joked.
"Brother Yan, no, you should go back quickly and come back tomorrow!"
"Yao'er, I was just kidding. I've already told my aunt that I'll stay overnight."
The prince saw that the little girl was really anxious and quickly explained.
"Then how did you come to me? Did anyone see you?" Gu Jingyao always felt that the prince did not come through the main gate.
"I climbed over the wall. I missed Yao so much and wanted to talk to her. I had no choice but to climb over the wall."
There was a sense of grievance in the prince's tone, and Gu Jingyao's heart softened all of a sudden. She was indeed busy entertaining those young ladies today and had not spoken a few words to the prince.
"Then just sit for a while and go back. It would be bad if you were discovered!"
The princess's residence and the Gu family are heavily guarded. If the prince were discovered climbing over the wall to come to the Gu residence like this, Gu Jingyao would feel embarrassed.
"I'll listen to Yao'er!"
The prince got down by the pond, fearing that Gu Jingyao would insist on him going back.
"Did anyone notice you coming in just now?"
"Of course not. Even this tea is something I brought myself."
"Then I'll have someone make you a pot!"
"That's not necessary. Wouldn't that tell others that there's someone hiding in your room? Besides, I'm here to see Yao'er, not to drink tea."
The prince reached out and grabbed Gu Jingyao. He didn't want any tea. He just wanted to be alone with the girl for a while.
"Yao'er, has it been hard studying with Madam recently?"
The prince felt very distressed when he thought about how strict the little girl was with him. He said that there was no need to learn these things at all, and she could learn them slowly when she arrived at the prince's mansion.
His father is still young and will not abdicate for a while. It is not too late for Yaoer to study after marrying him.
“It’s not hard work, every day is fulfilling and the rewards are great.”
