Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 335

At that time, Qian Sansi came in to pass the news, saying that the little prince had woken up from sleep. He couldn’t see Empress Zhou and was crying. Several Mamas could not coax him. Because they were afraid that he would cry badly, they could only send news there. 

Empress Zhou subconsciously stood up. Just as she was about to lift her foot, she realized something was wrong. She looked at her eldest son apologetically.

Gu Ye said in a proper manner, “Go, I’ll wait.” 

“Good boy, would you like to visit your brother with me?” 

Gu Ye turned to look at Emperor Zhengyuan and the Empress Dowager, and with the permission of the two, he followed Empress Zhou to Kunning Palace. 

There, Gu Ye met the little prince Lu Zhao for the first time. 

From his point of view, he was a very old child, but he couldn’t speak or walk, and it was very strange that he had to be hugged and coaxed. 

But he didn’t say anything. Empress Zhou gave him a toy and he played with Lu Zhao. 

Up to ten years old, down to one or two years old, there were no children who didn’t like Gu Ye after knowing him. 

In addition, the two were brothers. 

Lu Zhao quickly fell in love with that brother whom he met for the first time.

While the brothers were playing, Empress Zhou watched them lovingly from the side, asking Gu Ye something from time to time. 

She asked him and he answered, but she didn’t say anything bad, she just picked up the words that wouldn’t make her cry. 

After playing until noon, Empress Zhou asked about his taste and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare meals. Seeing that both of the brothers had eaten, Empress Zhou hadn’t slept all night, so she couldn’t stand it anymore. 

Gu Ye waited until she and Lu Zhao slept together before leaving Kunning Palace and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. 

The Hall of Mental Cultivation was usually like an iron barrel, and Concubine Feng couldn’t enter, but Gu Ye could go in and out freely. 

Emperor Zhengyuan was handling official business, and when he saw him coming, he smiled and asked, “Have you seen your brother?” 

Gu Ye murmured vaguely, and Emperor Zhengyuan took out another waist card, a document, and said that it was for him. 

As for his identity, he would have to wait for the people from the ship line to be escorted to Beijing, and he would issue an imperial decree to announce to the world, and then let the astronomer find a good day and make sacrifices to the heavens.

A series of arrangements were also in the document, which couldn’t be explained in a few words. If he had any unsatisfactory or other requirements, he could mention it. 

Gu Ye nodded, tied the card to his belt, glanced at the document, and put it in his arms. 

Emperor Zhengyuan had all the official documents that he had accumulated years ago, and he really didn’t have time to accompany him, so he said to him, “I am too busy to accompany you. Today you go to Cining Palace to accompany your grandmother. Just sleep early.” 

Qian Sansi took him to Cining Palace. 

The Empress Dowager’s way of pampering children was exactly the same as that of Mrs. Wang, that was, stuffing children with food and money. In addition, she was not used to being served in the palace. So the grandmother and grandchild stayed alone, which made Gu Ye much more relaxed, making her laugh all afternoon without stopping. 

In the evening, the Empress Dowager thought that he had got up early, so she let him rest. 

After Gu Ye came out of Cining Palace, he walked faster according to the route in his memory, and finally turned into a trot, running all the way to the gate of the palace before he stopped. 

After standing there for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Ye walked back dejectedly. 

Unconsciously, he walked to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Emperor Zhengyuan finally finished his official business. When he saw the little guy coming back, Emperor Zhengyuan was stunned.

“Why are you being so polite? Didn’t I just let you rest after seeing your grandmother? Don’t come to salute me.” 

Gu Ye scratched his head and said, “No, I still don’t know where I live!” 

Emperor Zhengyuan felt even more strange. Therefore, he asked, “Isn’t it all written in the documents I gave you?” 

Gu Ye said with a straight face, “I don’t know how to read!” 

Emperor Zhengyuan was drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he almost spat out the sip of tea. “Didn’t you read the script?” 

Gu Ye naturally stopped pretending and said, “I lied to you, I didn’t understand a thing.” 

The father and son lied to each other, so Emperor Zhengyuan couldn’t say anything.

He couldn’t help laughing and said, “Monkey cub, I will let you be! You live in the mansion outside the palace, next to Duke Ying’s mansion.”
