Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Lin Lier looked at Gu Yanzhou who was looking over here with a shy face.

"He is indeed a good person, but he seems to have a bad relationship with Pingyang Marquis and his son," the wife of the Minister of War frowned.

She is handsome and popular with the emperor, but she only has one daughter, so she still needs to find out more about her.

"I'll go back and discuss this with your father."

There is another problem. Since ancient times, it has been the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. If the father and son are not getting along, it is still a question whether Pingyang Hou can arrange the marriage.

It is not in accordance with etiquette to go directly to General Gu himself.

The Shangshu's wife looked at Gu Yanzhou and started thinking about his subsequent marriage.

Gu Yanzhou was teasing Jiang Nan from a distance when he suddenly felt two burning gazes.

Looking in the direction he was looking, Lin Lier had already lowered her head with a red face when Gu Yanzhou looked over.

Gu Yanzhou only saw the wife of the Minister of War. As a general, he often came into contact with the Minister of War, so Gu Yanzhou nodded politely towards the wife.

The Shangshu's wife responded with a smile.

It's really good to be polite.

The Minister of War was still chatting with his colleague next door and didn't notice the little actions of his wife and daughter at all.

To be honest, this palace banquet was really boring for Jiang Nan to attend, as he didn't know anyone there.

"Miaoyi County Lady, the Empress Dowager wants you to come over for a moment."

The maid beside the Queen Mother walked up to Jiang Nan and whispered in his ear.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan stood up and walked around to the Queen Mother.

It was this action that instantly attracted the attention of many people sitting below the table.

"Whose lady is this? I've never seen her before!"

"I do not know either."

"I didn't even know that. I'm Xiao Baitong from Shangjing."

Everyone below was talking a lot.

"I know, I know, I know this, she..."

The bored Gu Huixuan instantly became energetic.

The onlookers who heard this looked at Gu Huixuan.

Gu Huixuan was about to introduce Jiang Nan to everyone when he suddenly remembered that Jiang Nan was neither a daughter of an official family nor married to her elder brother. How should he introduce her?

"That's a secret for now, you will know when the time comes." Gu Huixuan changed the subject and abruptly took back the words "My sister-in-law" that were about to come out.

"Qi, if you don't know, you don't know."

Not hearing the answer, everyone's heads that had been leaning closer suddenly dispersed.

"No, I really know," Gu Huixuan muttered softly.

It's just that the eldest sister-in-law has not yet been engaged to his eldest brother, and if she tells anyone about it, it will damage the eldest sister-in-law's reputation.

Although Gu Huixuan is a bit eccentric in his daily life, he still knows his limits when it comes to some things.

It’s just that it’s really uncomfortable if I don’t say it out loud!

Gu Huixuan looked up at the sky uncomfortably, looking nonchalant.

"Sit still, you disgraceful fellow," Xu glared at Gu Huixuan viciously.

She had placed high hopes on her youngest son, but ever since he started learning at the age of three, his performance had been mediocre in both study and martial arts.

Furthermore, as he grew older, he became close to that old man, which made her dislike him even more.

As for this youngest son, as long as he doesn't embarrass her, she basically doesn't bother to care about him.

"Mom, I was sitting fine. I just looked up at the ceiling."

Gu Huixuan spoke to Xu in silence, with a hint of alienation in his words.

Now Xu was dispensable to him, and he was no longer a child who wanted a mother.

He no longer expected to get anything from her, and at this moment, Gu Huixuan's eyes showed a maturity different from before.

Jiang Nan followed the palace maid and slowly climbed up to the main seat. He walked to the Queen Mother and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Empress Dowager," his voice was neither humble nor arrogant. Especially after the Queen's advice, his personality had become much more restrained.

"Nannan, since I have adopted you as my adopted daughter, you don't have to be so restrained with me in the future," the queen mother said to Jiang Nan in a familiar tone.

"Yes, Jiang Nan will remember this."

Feeling the Queen Mother's sincerity, Jiang Nan smiled back, but this time with a little more sincerity.

Although she didn't know why the Queen Mother was suddenly so nice to her for no reason, she could still tell whether she was sincere or not.

"Nannan, how is the queen?"

"The Queen's body was badly damaged after her miscarriage last time. She needs to be taken care of. I have already told the palace maids to pay attention to the prescription. We will need to look into it later."

When saying this, Jiang Nan glanced at the queen beside the emperor.

In the end, she still reported back to the Queen Mother according to the Queen's instructions, as she could not afford to offend either side.

Because there was singing and dancing going on in the audience, Jiang Nan spoke in a much louder voice. When the Emperor, who was standing next to the Queen Mother, heard the Queen, he pricked up his ears and moved closer to Jiang Nan imperceptibly.

"I believe in you. You and the queen should take good care of the baby so that I can have a grandson soon."

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's face showed longing.

"I see you're bored down there, so why don't you stay here and chat with me?"

"Okay," Jiang Nan agreed on the surface, but he was madly rejecting it in his heart.

What is this place? This is the focal point of the entire banquet hall.

When she came up just now, she felt countless eyes looking at her from behind.

But the Queen Mother would not allow her to refuse.

He could only sit on a stool brought by a palace maid, feeling very uncomfortable.

The Queen Mother spoke these words to her in a casual manner.

But Jiang Nan's mind was not on the conversation. She just glanced at the queen. Although the queen's face was mostly covered with makeup, it was still obvious that she did not look well.

Before she left, she took the Queen's pulse and the Queen showed no abnormality.

Jiang Nan was a little confused. What on earth had happened to the queen? Even her clothes had changed.

"Just now I heard the Queen Mother talking to the County Master Miao Yi, you are not feeling well,"

The emperor looked at the queen with an indifferent expression for a long time and then asked.

If you listen carefully, it's not difficult to hear the concern in the words.

When Jiang Nan saw the two people talking, his attention was already drawn to them, while he also had to talk to the Queen Mother.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."

The queen behaved in a dignified manner and spoke to the emperor in a distant tone.

"I care about you, but you really don't know what's good for you."

Hearing the queen's words, the emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.

"I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty, both in the past and now. I am fine."

The queen looked calm and continued to speak slowly and steadily.

But her fingers, which had turned white from the exertion under her sleeves, betrayed her.

"You really don't know what's good for you."

The emperor stood up angrily and wanted to leave, but then he remembered something and sat down.

Because he was quite far away and the place was noisy, Jiang Nan could only hear intermittently and didn't hear clearly.

"Emperor," the empress dowager heard the conversation between the two and whispered a reminder to the emperor.

The emperor did not say anything but instead raised his hand to call the eunuch Li Sheng and whispered something in his ear.

When Li Sheng came back, he had an imperial edict in his hand. Jiang Nan, who had received two imperial edicts recently, recognized it at a glance.

Li Sheng asked the dancers and musicians to leave, and the venue instantly became half quiet.

Li Sheng then stepped forward with the imperial edict. When the ministers and royal relatives saw the imperial edict in Li Sheng's hand, they all shut up.

Suddenly the place fell silent.

"General Gu Yanzhou, and Lady Miaoyi Jiang Nan, please come forward to receive the order."

Li Sheng unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and shouted loudly.
