"What? A relative is coming?" Gu Qingtong was startled, feeling happy and curious. While taking a towel to wipe his hands, he hurriedly asked, "Did you tell me which relative it is?"
"No, Dean Qin just urged you to go over and take a look." The young eunuch shook his head.
"Okay, I'll go right away," Gu Qingtong left the small kitchen and went to the bedroom. Seeing that Mei Ya was still sleeping soundly, she came out quietly and told the maidservant waiting outside the palace, "Hurry up and serve the queen some medicine when she wakes up."
"Yes, I've remembered it." The maid bowed hurriedly.
Only then did Gu Qingtong leave the palace with peace of mind.
…
Meiya slept for another half an hour before waking up. Before she opened her eyes, she frowned and rubbed her waist with her hands, mumbling, "Qingtong, my waist is so sore..."
"Madam, look who's here." As soon as Mei Ya finished speaking, Gu Qingtong, who had been waiting in front of the bed, hurriedly said. When she said this, she was a little excited and her voice trembled.
"Who is it?" Mei Ya opened her eyes while yawning. Through a layer of crimson curtains, Mei Ya vaguely saw two people sitting in front of the bed. One was naturally Gu Qingtong, and the other...
"Grandpa Gu!" When Meiya saw the face clearly, her eyes immediately became wet. She spoke with tears in her voice, "Grandpa Gu, when...when did you come?"
"Qingtong, go and help her! Don't stretch the girl's waist!" Gu Changlin frowned immediately when he saw Mei Ya supporting herself with her hands to sit up, and hurriedly instructed Gu Qingtong.
"Yes," Gu Qingtong hurriedly opened the curtain, helped Meiya sit up, and then reached out to her and stuffed a soft pillow in her hand. At the same time, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Meiya, choking and saying, "Madam, please don't be like this. It's a great thing that Grandpa Gu can come. Why are you still crying?"
Mei Ya didn't take the handkerchief, but just looked at Gu Changlin with tears in her eyes. Gu Changlin felt so distressed to see her like this that he sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his only remaining left hand to Mei Ya, and smiled at her, "It's only been a year since we last met. Why do you have the habit of crying so much, little girl?"
"Wow!" As soon as Gu Changlin said this, Mei Ya couldn't help it anymore. She suddenly hugged Gu Changlin and then burst into tears, which attracted the attention of the palace servants. Gu Qingtong was busy asking the palace servants to leave. She didn't stay in the room either, but hurried to the kitchen to help Xiao An prepare meals.
"Madam, am I awake?" Xiao An asked in a low voice when she saw her coming in with red eyes.
"Yeah, she's awake," Gu Qingtong wiped the corners of his eyes and went over to help Xiao An wash the vegetables while choking up, "Madam cried non-stop when she saw Grandpa Gu. It broke my heart to see that."
"Grandpa Gu loves Madam the most, and Madam has always treated Grandpa Gu as her own grandfather, so it's natural that they have such a deep relationship," said Xiao An, wiping her wet eyes. "Grandpa Gu and Imperial Tutor Ding were reluctant to come to the capital at first, but seeing that Madam was about to give birth, he was still worried, so he came anyway."
"Yes, the two old people were afraid that Master and Madam would worry about them, so they forced General Kong to keep the news a secret. We only found out about it after we arrived in the capital." Gu Qingtong also said.
"That's right. If Madam knew about this in advance, she would probably have been restless half a month in advance," said Xiao An, smiling, and added, "We need to move quickly. Master Ding and Master Chen will also be here for dinner later."
"Yeah, Sister An is right." Gu Qingtong nodded hurriedly.
…
In the bedroom.
Mei Ya cried in Gu Changlin's arms for most of the day and finally stopped. She didn't feel embarrassed and let Gu Changlin bring her some tea. She drank the tea while sobbing, which made Gu Changlin even more worried: "Drink slowly, don't choke."
