After filling her stomach, Xin Guoguo simply washed up and was helped by the palace maids to take off her complicated outer clothes. She lay down on the bed, turned over, and fell asleep.
I’m so tired!
She needs to have a good rest now, please do not disturb her, thank you!
Xiao Se looked at the little girl's actions and smiled dotingly.
He has no children now, and in his heart, he treats the little girl in front of him as his own daughter.
So when his grandmother told him to marry the girl, he strongly opposed it.
But my grandmother always knew how to make him compromise.
After tucking the quilt for the little girl, Xiao Se turned around and went to sleep in the outer room.
Today is the wedding day of the Emperor and Empress. If he leaves this door, he will never have a peaceful life tomorrow or even in the future!
The moon hangs high in the sky, and the lanterns in Changle Palace are always on.
The dim light illuminates the magnificent room.
A black and white tabby cat was snoring comfortably on the royal blue quilt.
The Grand Empress Dowager Liu of Daliang had already taken off her outer garments and was reclining on the bed. The armor on her fingers had been removed. She gently stroked the soft fur of the tabby cat, her gaze fixed on the void.
"Has the Emperor rested yet?"
"My Lord, His Majesty and the Queen have gone to bed."
The maid serving beside him had her hands hanging respectfully in front of her, her whole body bent in a submissive posture.
Liu's eyes flickered, and it was hard to tell what was in them. "Is Yongxiang ready?"
"We are ready. We are just waiting for the master's order."
Liu hummed softly, "What did Shen say?"
"The Queen Mother said that it's all up to the Master."
Liu snorted softly, "She's quite clever!"
Mammy didn't dare to speak.
Whether in the harem or the front court, the Empress Dowager almost always had the final say.
This time, the Empress Dowager wanted her eldest great-grandson, and the Shen family wanted to do something. After all, the emperor was in his prime, and they knew the Empress Dowager's plan.
Between a child of unknown character and an adult emperor, they naturally wanted to choose the latter.
But there was nothing the emperor could do, as he had no power and was not close to them.
Now that the Empress Dowager has taken a step back and is willing to let the Shen family give birth to this eldest great-grandson, the Shen family is naturally happy.
Even the Queen Mother remained silent, which was considered as her tacit approval.
No one asked Xiao Se's opinion.
Because in the face of interests and wealth, he, a powerless emperor in figurehead form, is really not important!
The nanny sympathized with the emperor for a moment, then listened to her master's instructions:
"When Guo'er comes to pay her respects tomorrow, you can follow her. Make sure Guo'er gives birth to the baby smoothly!"
Mammy quickly collected her thoughts and said, "Yes!"

Night is the best cover.
Even though tonight is the wedding night of the Emperor and Empress of Daliang, few people in the entire Changle Palace are truly happy.
Empress Dowager Shen was one of them.
It was already midnight, but Shen had not yet washed up.
In front of her, a masked man in black clothes was kneeling on one knee.
Only a pair of eyes were visible from this person, and his entire body was hidden in the shadows, almost blending into the night.
This is the secret guard trained by the Shen family.
Shen sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at her wrinkled face in the bronze mirror:
"How are the preparations going, father?"
"Most of the masters of the family have already returned. In two days, there will be a new funeral in the family, and the master will come to bid farewell to the queen."
Shen raised her hand and gently stroked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes: "Is the person they want ready?"
"Yes. She is a legitimate daughter of a side branch. Lord Shen has promised them to marry into the main family."
Shen sneered, "Family love in this world, after all, is nothing more than this."
The masked man said nothing.
He didn't know how to respond to this question, as he had been an orphan since childhood and had never known what family affection was.
After stroking for a long time, the fine lines still remained unsmoothed. Shen lowered her hand in frustration and sighed softly:
"This is all I can do now. She has never liked me... It's fine this way. Ser has been gentle since childhood... I have done my best to protect him alone. As for the others..."
Thinking of the child who would be born in the future, Shen sighed again.
In this situation, she could only barely save her son. As for the grandson she had never met, she was powerless to do anything...
That's it!
I hope that child can live longer.

The game between the two queen dowagers in the harem never stopped.
Power is a torturous little demon that seduces many people into losing their minds and conscience.
But this does not affect the sun rising as scheduled in the early morning.
At the hour of Yin, Xiao Se got up.
He is the emperor and has to report to the front court every day, even if he is just a mascot, even if those political affairs are not his turn to deal with!
The maidservant wanted to wake Xin Guoguo, but he stopped her: "Don't disturb her. Wait until I leave the court and then call her. I will go with her to pay my respects to my mother and grandmother."
“Here!”
Xin Guoguo slept very soundly.
Of course, getting up is also really painful.
He let the palace maids help him dress and wash, then he got into the sedan chair and continued to doze off.
It was not until she arrived at Yiku Palace, got out of the sedan chair, and was gently patted on the shoulder by Xiao Se that she finally opened one eye and looked at him.
Xiao Se was very tall, almost twice her current height. When she looked at him, she could only tilt her head upwards: "Cousin?"
The little girl's voice is soft and cute, and her sleepy look is especially adorable, completely satisfying all of Xiao Se's fantasies about a daughter since he became an adult.
