Daqing Imperial Palace.
"Mother, how are Aunt Bai and Uncle doing now?" Jiang Yu brought a food box to the Taihe Hall, which finally gave Gu Qingyan a moment to rest.
While eating pastries, Gu Qingyan asked, "Judging by the time, the two of you should have met long ago."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I think this will work out. Your Aunt Bai's willingness to go to Lingzhou means that she cares about your uncle. Your uncle is the kind of person who, once he likes someone, he loses all rationality."
The elder brother appears rational, but in reality, he is most prone to acting on emotion when it comes to people and things he cares about.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have broken ties with Consort Rong in her past life when she learned that she had protected Consort Rong's brother, and she wouldn't have resolutely gone to Lingzhou in this life after learning about the long-standing feud between the Gu and Jiang families.
Therefore, Ah Qian traveled a long distance to Lingzhou, and her brother would no longer suppress his feelings.
"Shouldn't I bestow a marriage upon them then?" Gu Qingyan's eyes shone brightly, his expectant look completely amusing Jiang Yu. "The Bai family hasn't even agreed to this marriage yet, and you're already issuing an imperial decree to grant it?"
"Mother, I just want to see all lovers in the world finally get married."
Gu Qingyan's words had a hidden meaning, and Jiang Yu feigned anger by nodding at Gu Qingyan.
“You finally made it back to the capital, and apart from your birthday, you haven’t had a single day or two of rest. If this continues, I’m afraid you’ll stop growing from exhaustion.”
Jiang Yu's words immediately put Gu Qingyan on alert. Not growing taller? That won't do!
He hasn't even reached his father's shoulder yet. If he doesn't grow up soon... Gu Qingyan suddenly shuddered. Wouldn't his father laugh at him when he went to see him?
"Mother, what should I do?" Gu Qingyan frowned, completely unaware of Ling Mama, who was trying not to laugh.
The Emperor is only twelve years old this year; he has plenty of time to grow taller!
The Empress Dowager is deliberately trying to scare the Emperor!
"Let me think about it." Jiang Yu's lips curled up. "First of all, it's not right for you to stay in the Hall of Supreme Harmony all day long. Who can grow taller just by sitting?"
"You need to spend more time in the military camp, otherwise your skills will become rusty."
"Also, eat more food, lest you not only be short in the future, but also pale and thin."
Gu Qingyan meticulously recorded Jiang Yu's words, as if afraid of missing anything, which made Jiang Yu reach out and cover the corner of her mouth with a smile.
She had told Ayan many times before that he was too busy with government affairs and neglected his health, but it had no effect. Now, however, when it came to growing taller, Ayan paid much more attention.
Anything that can help Ayan relax is good.
Jiang Yu didn't waste Gu Qingyan's time and quickly returned to Zhaoning Palace, where Consort An had been waiting for a long time.
"This concubine greets Your Majesty the Empress Dowager."
Of Gu Heng's concubines in the harem, only Consort An occasionally visits Zhaoning Palace to sit and chat with Jiang Yu.
It was as if Gu Heng's death made the relationship between Jiang Yu and Consort An even more harmonious.
"Get up."
Jiang Yu smiled and sat down. "Your complexion has improved recently."
“When a person has nothing on their mind, their complexion naturally improves.” Consort An smiled and took a sip of tea. “As for Your Majesty, you must have gone to advise the Emperor to take care of his health again.”
“When His Majesty gets busy with state affairs, he neglects his own health, and I am really worried about him.” Jiang Yu sighed softly. “Since His Majesty ascended the throne, things have been very turbulent. He has finally had a chance to catch his breath, and I understand him. I want to take advantage of this time to do more things.”
Haste makes waste.
Jiang Yu's words revealed Gu Qingyan's current situation, and Consort An smiled upon hearing this, "The Emperor is only twelve years old and has just ascended the throne. Besides, with Your Highness here, Daqing will only get better and better."
......
Meanwhile, Gu Lin made a big detour in Daqing and arrived in the capital.
Gu Qingyan, who was reviewing memorials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, suddenly wrinkled his nose, took a deep breath of the air, and then threw down his vermilion brush, his expression clearly becoming excited.
"Father! Is that you?"
Gu Qingyan had unconsciously memorized that familiar taste.
Gu Lin's laughter rang out, and the next second, he appeared in front of Gu Qingyan. "How have you been lately? I've heard a lot of good things about you on my way here. People from all over say you are a wise ruler."
This kid is living a comfortable life. Back when he first ascended the throne, he was cursed as a tyrant for several years.
Gu Qingyan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Father, I only did what I was supposed to do."
Gu Lin glanced at the dark circles under Gu Qingyan's eyes, then casually looked at the pile of documents on the table. He flipped through them at random; they were all documents that Gu Qingyan had already reviewed.
In just a few breaths, Gu Lin understood what was going on.
"Come on, let's go see your mother."
"good!"
Zhaoning Palace.
Gu Lin's arrival surprised Jiang Yu. "Have you taken care of things in Da Ning?"
Standing beside Jiang Yu, Gu Lin squinted his eyes comfortably. "It's all taken care of already. I even went to Daqing for a long trip to check on the current situation there for Ayan."
I also took a trip to the Great Wei...
Gu Lin didn't say what came next, but just smiled and praised Gu Qingyan's ruthless methods, finally concluding: As expected of him, Ayu, and the child.
Even Gu Qingyan couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, he really couldn't bear to look.
That night, Gu Qingyan gave himself a short break. Perhaps because he was relaxed, he started yawning repeatedly not long after finishing his dinner.
Jiang Yu gave Gu Lin a wink, and Gu Lin then dragged his son to bed.
"Father, do you want to sleep with me?"
"What? You're still not happy?"
A few seconds later, Gu Qingyan sighed resignedly, "Then I will reluctantly sleep with you, Father."
Actually, he would prefer to sleep with his mother...
Jiang Yu listened to the conversation between the father and son and smiled silently.
An hour later, Gu left but returned.
"Don't worry, Ayan, this is a necessary process."
Jiang Yu, who was lost in thought, was startled by Gu Lin's voice, and then said irritably, "Don't you make any noise when you walk?"
Gu Lin moved closer to Jiang Yu and said, "I think you must be worried about Ayan, so I came over as soon as Ayan fell asleep."
“I would naturally feel sorry for any twelve-year-old child who has to endure this every day.”
Jiang Yu glared at Gu Lin, who quickly waved his hand to beg for mercy, "Ayu, I'm going to Dawei this time to give you a good venting of your anger."
Wanji, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips upon hearing this.
The Empress seized a city from the Great Wei, and now that she's with the Prince... she's still being wronged?
