Gu Ziyu stared blankly at her son's babbling for a long time.
After all, they are one's own bloodline.
The deep-seated family ties are still impossible to sever.
He said blankly, "Tomorrow I will bring him to the palace and ask the Emperor to bestow upon him a name."
Wen Shuyi's expression immediately changed.
She was pregnant at the time, as was Empress Su.
Now her son is chubby and adorable, but Empress Su's pregnancy is over.
Bringing your son into the palace would only invite hatred, wouldn't it?
Wouldn't her plea for her father then fall through?
"No way!" Wen Shuyi objected immediately.
Gu Ziyu then realized that what she had said earlier was indeed inappropriate.
He was feeling a little down.
He hugged the child, but the child cried and peed all over him.
Gu Ziyu: ...
Wen Shuyi: ...
Wen Shuyi quickly arranged for the wet nurse to change the baby's clothes, and went to fetch Gu Ziyu's clothes to help him change as well.
There was a moment of awkwardness between them when she went to untie Gu Ziyu's belt.
Wen Shuyi withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Ziyu paused for a moment, rubbed her forehead, picked up her clothes and left: "I'll change myself."
I felt a tightness in my chest.
It feels a bit unfamiliar.
There's also a bit of nostalgia.
After all, being away from home for many years is tiring, so coming home to see a cute, cuddly child is quite an experience.
He was a little uncomfortable with this mood, so he haphazardly stuffed his clothes into the servant's hands and went out to find someone to drink with.
I thought that I and Wen Shuyi would just live out our lives in this cold and distant way.
Unexpectedly, he went along with her wishes as soon as she lowered her head slightly to beg for peace.
This feeling made him a little uncomfortable.
She probably pitied her family's hardships and felt like she was walking on thin ice in her husband's family.
Duke Dingguo, Xu Guangzuo, responded immediately to the call, and the two agreed to meet at Zuixianlou.
In the corridor of the Zuixianlou private rooms, a four- or five-year-old boy was wandering around the doors of each room, seemingly looking for someone.
Gu Ziyu used to pay little attention to children.
Having just seen her son, she also became more attentive to children. She glanced at the child but didn't think much of it.
The little boy hesitated for a long time in front of a private room with the door half open, and then timidly said, "I'm looking for Mr. Yang..."
Inside the private room, Yang Zhen was chatting with a group of scholars.
Seeing the little boy felt quite unusual.
He doesn't know him.
"Who are you?"
One scholar joked, "Yongxiu, is this your son?"
As is widely known, Yang Zhen had only been married for a little over a year and there was no record of him having any illegitimate children.
If he secretly kept a mistress and had a son, then the Yang family is in for a good show.
Grand Secretary Yang might be impeached for "failing to manage his household properly".
Yang Zhen frowned.
The little boy was a little scared when he saw everyone in the private room looking at him, but he still mustered up his courage and asked:
"Are you Yan-ge'er's teacher?"
The smile on Yang Zhen's face gradually disappeared, and he nodded seriously: "That is me."
The little boy took a toy out of his pocket and handed it to Yang Zhen, "Could you give this to Yan Ge'er for me?"
"Do you know him?" Yang Zhen examined the toy for a few moments before asking earnestly.
The little boy nodded.
"May I have your name?"
"Yan-ge'er".
Yang Zhen's expression changed for a moment, but he quickly bid farewell to everyone without making a sound and left with Yan Ge'er.
He had heard Yan Ge'er mention a friend of his named Yan Ge'er.
Every time Yan Ge'er appears, Mother prefers Yan Ge'er and dislikes him.
...
Liu Jin looked at Qian Ning with a cold expression and sneered:
"I can't get you to do anything with me anymore?"
Qian Ning lowered her head in apology, and said with a meaningful tone, "The Emperor has ordered that we not make things difficult for Eunuch Zhang. My godson had no choice."
Upon hearing the term "godson," Liu Jin's expression darkened further.
Qian Ning recently recognized the emperor as her godfather, so where does that leave him, her godfather?
Liu Jin sneered and said sarcastically, "Now that you've climbed up the social ladder, how can our family still be your godfather?"
Qian Ning gave an awkward smile, "Godfather is joking, your godson wouldn't dare."
My back was soaked with cold sweat.
Now that Liu Jin wields immense power, he dares not offend him easily.
Surviving the power struggle between the two eunuchs was no easy feat.
Today, Liu Jin suddenly arrived at the Qian family's residence with his men, looking very aggressive, and he was worried that something might go wrong.
Hopefully, the guards are quick-witted enough and have successfully taken Yan Ge'er out.
Otherwise, given how much Yan Ge'er and Lu Xingjian resemble each other, who knows what the consequences would be if the shrewd Liu Jin saw them together.
Liu Jin's position was not given lightly.
They ordered a thorough search of the Qian family's home.
Qian Ning is the martial arts instructor of Empress Su's adopted son, a position that makes him somewhat wary.
He only recently learned that Zhang Yong and Qian Ning had been seeing each other privately.
This made him even more wary.
Something just feels off, but I can't figure out the key.
Given Zhang Yong's status and position, is it necessary for him to win over his adopted son, Qian Ning?
The subordinate reported that there was nothing unusual.
The Qian family had several items bestowed upon them by the palace, which were all gifts of gratitude from Qian Ning to Yan Ge'er for teaching him.
Qian Ning's wife, heavily pregnant and about to give birth, was so frightened by the sudden and aggressive raid that she turned pale and went into labor.
A panicked commotion erupted from the backyard: "Madam has bleeded!"
Qian Ning's face immediately turned flustered, and she forced herself to apologize:
“The woman in the inner quarters is ignorant and has disturbed her adoptive father. Her son is terrified.”
Liu Jin's expression softened considerably after being repeatedly called "godfather" by him, and he left with his men.
Qian Ning was someone he had deliberately won over, but his loyalty was questionable.
