Chapter 63: Out of Nothing (26)

"The sons and ministers pay respects to the queen mother"

After Gusu Zelan came to the palace, he went straight to the queen mother. He wanted to finish the task and go back. He was worried that his girl was at home by herself.

"This is the sun coming out from the west. Usually, people who are urged to come here are not here. Why did you take the initiative to send it to your door today?"

"Look at what my mother said, my son misses you, so I hurried over here. When I saw you today, I found that my mother is still energetic and looks younger than me."

Gusu Zelan knew about her mother's temper, so she picked up good things and started talking without money.

"Smelly boy, you can talk glibly, come here quickly, let the queen mother see if she has lost weight." The queen mother was so happy being coaxed by Gusu Zelan, she stopped pretending and waved to Gusu Zelan.

"Mother, how old am I, can I starve myself?" Gusu Zelan was speechless when she saw the mother's gesture of calling for kittens and puppies.

He is 22 years old this year, but in the eyes of her mother, he is still a child who needs to be cared about whether he eats, sleeps well, and whether someone bullies him, which is why he doesn't really want to enter the palace. After all, he is the majestic seventh prince outside, but in front of the queen mother, he is still a child who has not been weaned.

"You are the queen's son no matter how old you are, come here quickly"

The queen mother looked at Gusu Zelan who was not moving, and ordered.

"Obey, my queen mother"

Gusu Zelan came here to ask for something, so he decided to try his best to satisfy his mother's habitual bad habit, and obediently walked to the queen mother and sat down next to her, letting her go along with it.

In fact, why does the queen mother want to touch his hair every time she sees him? The reason for this is that he heard from his brother, who is the current sage, that the queen mother, who was the queen back then, was jealous of one of the king's favorite concubines. Under such circumstances, he secretly drugged himself who was still in his infancy. If the emperor's brother hadn't sneaked over to see him, found that his body temperature was very low, and told the queen mother who was still in the next room, he would not have been in this world at that time.

Since then, his mother has touched his head from time to time to make sure that he still has temperature and is still alive in this world, so he knows that his mother is just insecure, and he will try his best to satisfy her mother. She felt safe, but as she grew up, she felt more and more uncomfortable with the habits her mother had developed over the years, so she was reluctant to come to the palace more.

"So obedient today, tell me, what's the matter?"

The queen mother is a person who has seen big storms. Although her temperament has gradually softened in the past few years, she can finally take the crown and sit in the queen mother's position. How can she fail to see that Gusu Zelan did not enter the palace because she missed her? Yes, after all, this stinky brat ran away from her for several years.

"My queen, it will be your [-]th birthday soon. It's really hard for my mother to raise me up like this," Gusu Zelan said flatteringly.

"You know I've worked hard, but you don't often visit me in the palace, you heartless bastard," the Queen Mother said complainingly as she slapped Gusu Zelan lightly.

"Mother, son, after some reflection recently, I realized that I was too unfilial before, so I plan to take advantage of your [-]th birthday to make you happy."

"Why, figured it out, decided to get married, really..., no, the little girl of the Han family is just 13 years old this year, she is too young, it's all your fault, brother, even if you want to give a marriage, you have to find an age You should be a pretty girl, and you are so old that you can’t get married.”

The Queen Mother originally thought that Gusu Zelan had figured out that he was going to get married after hearing what Gusu Zelan said, but after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong.

"Queen, where do you want to go? I just want to hold a banquet for you to make you happy." Gusu Zelan said helplessly.

In fact, when the emperor bestowed the marriage, he didn't consider his younger brother Gusu Zelan. Gusu Zelan asked for it himself. As for why he wanted to have a marriage contract with Miss Han, it was because he knew that Miss Han was very young, and he was asked by him at that time. My mother was so depressed by the forced marriage, so I planned to use this marriage contract to escape the nagging of my mother for a few years, but I have to say, the effect is not as good as before. Before, when my mother saw him, she always asked if she liked the lady. Since he had a marriage contract, when my mother saw him again, she would always ask him how old Miss Han is and how many days are left before you get married, so Gusu Zelan could only come to the palace as little as possible.

"Birthday banquet? Just look at those hypocritical people, fake compliments and chatting, it's boring."

The Queen Mother, who has experienced intrigues, now just wants to live her little life peacefully, caring about whether her eldest son will give her another prince or princess, worrying about when her second son's wedding will be held, and does not want to watch the intrigues in the court anymore.

"Mother, think about it. Many of the princes and ladies in the minister's mansion have reached the age of marriage. Shouldn't you also create a chance for them to meet each other, maybe they can make a few couples?" Gusu Zelan Lure said.

"Although I know you have other purposes, but what you said is not bad, just do as you said."

Gusu Zelan's words were right in the heart of the Queen Mother, so knowing that Gusu Zelan did it on purpose, she agreed. After all, the old man still likes lively scenes.

"Mother, then I..."

"Don't worry, go and ask the emperor if he is free. If he is free, let him come over and have a meal with Ai's family." Just as Gusu Zelan was about to escape, the queen mother interrupted him and ordered her servants to speak.

"I knew you were going to leave. Even if something big happened today, eat this meal for me. Besides, no one at home is waiting for you to eat, so why worry?" The queen mother looked at Gusu Zelan and started a new round. nagging.

She knew that her son wanted to slip away after completing the task, but she really didn't go his way today, and she hadn't entered the palace to see her for a long time, and she came here for a purpose, and she will let him It's impossible to stay for a meal.

"Okay, okay, I stayed to eat with my mother. I haven't eaten with my mother for a long time. I miss it very much."

When Gusu Zelan heard from his mother that no one was waiting for him to eat at home, she suddenly felt very happy. Who said that no one was waiting for him to eat at home, and his girl would definitely wait for him to eat together, but he didn't know why, and didn't want to Now I mentioned mint to my mother, so I didn't refute it.

When Gusu Zelan walked out of the palace, it was already getting dark. He left in a hurry. At the queen's side, he never found a chance to let people inform the mansion that he would not be at home for dinner tonight. He was afraid that Mint would wait. Looking at him, Mint is already so thin now, what if she becomes hungry again, so Gusu Zelan hurried back after finishing her meal.

In fact, Gusu Zelan really thought too much. Is Mint the kind of person who will wait for him to come back for dinner.

Obviously not, so when Gusu Zelan returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion and saw that she was full of mint and was studying her pile of wood, she could only smile helplessly and went to help.
