After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Gu Nanxi originally thought that after all things were dealt with, she could return to her normal peaceful life.

Unexpectedly, I haven't rested for a single day since returning from Baichuan Academy.

"Mother, the New Year is coming in a few days. Should we ask our brothers to come back to worship the Kitchen God?"

Because of the festival, Su Yunyan put aside the preparations for opening the shop.

The New Year's Festival of the Zhou Dynasty was on December 24th, the same day as the Little New Year. People would usually worship the Kitchen God and send off all the gods on this day.

Gu Nanxi glanced at Su Yunyan, who looked slightly disappointed, and said lightly: "You guys prepare together."

"Eh? But isn't the Kitchen God worship presided over by men? Should women stay away?" Su Yunyan was nervous but also eager to try.

Gu Nanxi made the final decision: "We don't have those rules in our family. You guys should prepare well."

Gu Nanxi secretly added in her heart, don't bother me anymore...

As soon as Su Yunyan left, the old lady of Yongchang Marquis Mansion, who hadn't met for more than a month, actually took the initiative to come to find Gu Nanxi!

Alarm bells were ringing in Gu Nanxi's heart. No one would come to see her for no reason. It must be a big deal if the old lady could be mobilized!

With the help of Nanny Qiu, the old lady sat down opposite Gu Nanxi. She coughed twice and forced a strange smile on her serious face.

"Daughter-in-law..."

Gu Nanxi felt a chill all over her body, and hurriedly replied: "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it directly. We have been in a relationship for more than ten years, what else is there to worry about?"

The old lady's eyes flickered, her heart was beating fast, after more than ten years of getting along, their relationship was even worse than strangers...

"Daughter-in-law, I know that you are devoted to the Marquisate and the children. In my heart, the position of the Marquisate's Crown Prince belongs to Xuanming! We are grasshoppers tied to the same rope."

Gu Nanxi nodded. Of course, when the entire Yongchang Marquisate was executed, weren’t they like grasshoppers strung together?

Seeing this, the old lady continued to push: "The Marquis' Mansion may look glorious on the surface, but in reality it is already rotten wood. As a member of the Marquis' Mansion, shouldn't you do your part?"

Gu Nanxi: "I don't have any money, but I have my life."

The old lady was furious: "Gu Nanxi, you are so good, you have the treasure of the previous dynasty for five hundred years, but you are reluctant to give away even a little bit! Did you give all the treasure to your lover?"

Gu Nanxi's face froze. Can we not talk about our lover?

Can't this matter be resolved?

Besides, what kind of outrageous rumor did the five hundred year old treasure come from?

Before Gu Nanxi could explain, the young emperor sent someone to bring Gu Nanxi into the palace, with the old lady's look of "I knew you were a bad person".

Although the palace is small, it is extremely luxurious.

The roof of the hall is covered with glazed tiles, which reflect dazzling light under the warm winter sun.

The hall has cloud-top sandalwood beams, golden nine-dragon pearl lamps, and pearl curtains.

On a three-foot-wide rosewood armchair, there was a figure sitting, with his head lowered, holding a pen and drawing something.

"Sister, how do I treat you?"

The young emperor asked quietly without even looking up.

Gu Nanxi was silent. This question was so difficult to answer.

"Why don't you answer?" The young emperor suddenly raised his head, his eyes as red as a rabbit, and asked repeatedly.

"I trust you so much! I've entrusted you with the important task of rectifying the Imperial College!"

Gu Nanxi has been very busy these days, and the day of giving up is getting further and further away. He was already holding back a rage, and after hearing what the young emperor said, he could no longer suppress his anger!

Gu Nanxi found the couch beside the bed and sat down, saying with a wooden face: "You shouldn't have handed this matter to me."

It’s all because of the little emperor’s outrageous actions that he has to do so much more work!

The young emperor opened his mouth slightly, was stunned for a long time, then frowned and thought for a moment, as if he suddenly realized something.

The young emperor put down the pen in his hand, slowly walked to Gu Nanxi, and said earnestly: "Sister! I know that with your ability, it is a waste of talent to deal with the affairs of the Imperial College. It is unfair to you!"

"But because of the abuse of power by the empress and the princess of the previous dynasty, the court is now very resistant to women participating in politics. Sister, you have to bear with the grievances for now. When you make achievements in politics, I will definitely use you!"

Gu Nanxi looked at the young emperor in surprise. How on earth did he develop such a damn brain circuit?

Meeting Gu Nanxi's gaze, the young emperor nodded solemnly: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond! I will keep my word!"

After saying this, the young emperor's eyes evaded a little, red clouds appeared on his cheeks, and he stammered, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

Gu Nanxi rubbed his painful forehead and said weakly, "Then let's not talk about it."

The young emperor insisted: "I still have to talk about it. The Zhou Dynasty is in a state of turmoil, and there are wolves everywhere. I want to emulate Taizu and bring peace to the world. But the late emperor passed away early, and no one taught me how to do it..."

The young emperor squeezed out a few tears, as if he had been wronged: "Even Lord Cui didn't bother to scold me."

Gu Nanxi sneered. Given the emperor's train of thought, Lord Cui didn't need to say anything. He already reflected on himself three times a day!

"Sister, since Lord Cui has passed on the treasure and the strategy for governing a country to you, could you lend it to me for a look?" The young emperor was so moved that he thought of how open-minded he was. He did not snatch the treasure but only asked to borrow it.

Gu Nanxi said coldly: "Treasure? My foster father gave me a treasure?"

The young emperor nodded his head like a woodpecker: "Everyone knows it."

Gu Nanxi's eyes flashed with coldness, almost piercing through the person opposite him: "Is this treasure the wealth accumulated by the previous dynasty for 500 years, or is it the strategy for governing the country?"

The young emperor spoke without hesitation: "Of course it is statecraft! Lord Cui regards money as dirt, how could he care about a few million taels?"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I have had a spiritual connection with Lord Cui for a long time. He doesn't need to say much. I can understand his deep meaning with just one look!"

Gu Nanxi stood up suddenly, waved her sleeves, and with a straight face, she squeezed out words from between her teeth: "I'll go ask my good godfather how to deal with this treasure!"

Gu Nanxi rushed out of the palace, leaving the young emperor behind her, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Sister, don't forget, after New Year's Eve, Baichuan Academy will have to conduct a qualification assessment!"

The emperor's words floated in the air, and except for scaring a few birds away, they did not leave any ripples in Gu Nanxi's heart.

Gu Nanxi's mind was full of treasures. Treasures! Damn treasures!

The galloping carriage, carrying the angry Gu Nanxi, galloped across the plains.

Until the plaque of Baichuan Academy came into view, Gu Nanxi immediately jumped off the carriage, kicked the door open, and went to find Cui Sanlun in a rage.

"Mother, what happened? Who made you angry?"

"Master, please go slowly, be careful not to fall."

Gu Nanxi pushed Su Xuanming and Li Daniu aside and found the old man who was warming himself by the fire.

Frightened by Gu Nanxi's aura, the old man couldn't help but shrink back and said tremblingly: "Talk is one thing, but you are not allowed to fight."

Gu Nanxi was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and her lips trembled: "Treasure? Huh?"

The old man's eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that he also knew what was happening.

Gu Nanxi's eyes were red and his hair stood on end with anger: "You passed it to me?"

The old man looked around, trying to find a safe place.

At the critical moment, Gu Nanxi suddenly rushed to the old man, hugged his legs, and cried loudly: "Godfather! What is the treasure? Give it to me!"
