Chapter 221 Banning
Chapter 221 Banning
When Gu Jiaorong woke up, the quilt beside her was already cold.
Maybe he is busy with government affairs.
This is the bad thing about being an emperor. You have to work all year round and have to step in to solve problems.
She lay in bed, bored and thinking, with no intention of getting up. After a night, she felt sore and weak all over, and didn't want to move at all.
Fortunately, the two children are now with the Queen Mother and she doesn’t need to worry about them.
But soon, she seemed to hear the child crying again.
"Could it be possible that hallucinations would occur if I took care of a child for too long?"
Gu Jiaorong muttered to herself, raised her hand to pull the quilt, and prepared to sleep again.
Just then, Pei Xu came in holding two children.
"I figured you should be awake by now. I've missed you every year and every year."
Actually, she and her child haven't seen each other for four days, so it's normal for the child to miss her.
Although she thought so, she still said it stubbornly.
"I thought these two heartless kids were having so much fun with their mother that they couldn't even think of me."
Pei Xu knew her temper, so he just smiled and didn't refute.
He put the two children on the bed and watched them crawl towards Gu Jiaorong with gentle eyes.
Although Gu Jiaorong still felt a little uncomfortable, she was actually very happy to see the children.
Maybe she changed a little after becoming a mother.
"Why did Your Majesty bring the children here so early in the morning?"
She actually guessed that Pei Xu might know that he was worried about the child, so he went to get the child back after getting up, but she still asked him deliberately.
Gu Jiaorong is a very insecure person. She needs to confirm the other person's thoughts over and over again before she can firmly move forward with the other person.
"I miss the children a little bit. I think you must want to see the children as soon as you open your eyes."
Pei Xu and Gu Jiaorong actually have the same idea. They hope that their child will grow up under their knees instead of being raised by others.
Whether they are sons or daughters, they must be neither humble nor arrogant and never swallow their anger.
Pei Xu had endured enough in the first half of his life, and now he had built up this world just to allow the people he cared about to do whatever they wanted.
Gu Jiaorong pursed her lips and did not refuse.
Pei Xu knew that he had guessed her thoughts correctly, and smiled too.
At this time, Niannian had crawled to Gu Jiaorong's side, staring at her with her round eyes, as if asking her why she didn't come and hug her?
Gu Jiaorong was touched by his cuteness and immediately reached out and hugged him in her arms, while also bringing Sui Sui over.
"Luckily, they are still small. Even if they were hanging on me, they wouldn't be heavy. Otherwise, I would be crushed to death by them."
Gu Jiaorong fished the child out on her own and still says this now.
Pei Xu had nothing to do at the moment, so he went up to the bed and sat next to her, helping her share the weight of the child.
"I've already chosen a title for Suisui, Rong Shuo. What do you think?"
Pei Xu was teasing his daughter in his arms, but his eyes were still on Gu Jiaorong.
He knew that Gu Jiaorong cared about her daughter, and he also wanted his daughter to live a good life and not be bullied. So as a father, he had to show his importance to his daughter.
The title of a princess best reflects the emperor's attitude towards her, while the others are reflected in the rewards.
Now that I am still young, I need to stay with my parents. No matter how many rewards they give me, they are just empty words. Only those given to me after I become an adult can truly fall into my hands.
After all, raising a child is not an easy task. Even the most favored princess can still die suddenly. But a title is different. It will accompany her for a lifetime. The name of a favored princess may even be recorded in the long river of history.
Gu Jiaorong didn't really know much about titles, and she didn't know which characters would be most meaningful. But she figured Pei Xu was so devoted to the child right now that he wouldn't choose a bad style. Besides, she thought the characters Rongshuo seemed pretty good.
This title could actually be used to title a king, as it seemed rather neutral. But it was precisely because of this that Gu Jiaorong was more satisfied.
Her daughter can do whatever she wants and will never be just a Liulihua raised in the palace.
"I think it's great. Besides, His Majesty is Sui Sui's father, so he will surely give Sui Sui the best."
Gu Jiaorong answered with her eyes curved. She didn't mind saying a few nice words as long as it would benefit her daughter.
"As long as you think it's good, I will announce it together with the imperial edict to appoint the crown prince when I go to court tomorrow. I'm sure the ministers will have no objection."
The ministers dared not object. Although those who were corrupt and accepted bribes had been killed by Pei Xu, they were not necessarily clean. Pei Xu had some tricks up his sleeve.
Gu Jiaorong doesn't care about the affairs of the court. She understands one thing: if you stretch your hands too far, you will sooner or later be disliked by others.
Now that Pei Xu likes her, he is naturally willing to give her everything, but if he no longer likes her in the future, then the things she wants may become her crime.
Although such a thing may not actually happen, people should always have some sense of crisis.
Pei Xu didn't know what was going on in her little head, so he would immediately express his feelings, and might even feel a little aggrieved.
They had just had a night of love yesterday, and Gu Jiaorong was already thinking about these things today.
It just so happened that their thoughts did not connect with each other, and Pei Xu had no idea what Gu Jiaorong was thinking.
"Gu Sidao told me privately a few days ago that he wanted to take his wife and daughter to the border. I have agreed. After Gu Sidao submits his memorial to the emperor tomorrow, we will set off in a few days. If you want to see his daughter, you can summon her to the palace in the next two days."
Pei Xu didn't know what kind of relationship Gu Jiaorong and Gu Fuying had, but in the past two years, only Gu Fuying visited Gu Jiaorong more often.
Even if the other noble ladies in the capital had not offended Gu Jiaorong, they had no relationship with her, so it was naturally difficult for them to establish relationships with her now.
Gu Jiaorong is no longer the same person she used to be. As the queen, she also has supreme power.
"Forget it. I've already said everything I needed to say. There's nothing more to say to her by calling her into the palace. There's no need to waste her time any longer."
Gu Jiaorong shook her head. She and Gu Fuying were not even friends, so there was no need to say goodbye.
Perhaps Gu Fuying was really grateful to her in his heart, but now there was a huge gap between their identities. Could Gu Fuying be honest with her when they met again?
Gu Jiaorong doesn't mind making friends, but she doesn't want a friend who wants to take advantage of her.
"If we are destined to meet, we will meet again in the future."
Gu Jiaorong lowered her eyes and said, at least now is not the time to meet.
Gu Fuying should have had the same idea, otherwise she would not have gone to the palace to see Gu Jiaorong before she entered the palace.
