Since then, whenever Zhong Liran stayed overnight, it was Gu Siyuan who took care of her.It was then that Gu Siyuan discovered that this child was actually a very picky person.People she doesn't like will never use them.

But now the child who needs a specific person to serve him in everything has grown to this appearance.

Gu Siyuan was a little bit disappointed, he sat by the bed and looked at Zhong Liran for a while.Zhongli.However, after being watched by her for a long time, she frowned and shouted again: "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." She raised her head, looked at Gu Siyuan who was neatly dressed, and said emphatically, "Take off your clothes and come up."

This tone can be described as overbearing.However, Gu Siyuan was used to her tone, so he regained his senses, nodded, and took off his coat.

She took off her clothes and, like Zhong Liran, only wore her middle coat. She got up and extinguished all the lights in the corners of the room, leaving only the light on the desk.

The lights were luxuriant, illuminating the spacious room.Gu Siyuan walked to the side of the bed, and stretched out his hand to put down the bed curtains hanging on both sides, the surroundings suddenly became darker, and an extremely sweet breath spread in the confined space.

Gu Siyuan lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed carefully.Zhong Liran at the side heard the movement, turned slightly sideways, and turned his face to her.

The shimmering light reflected on the gauze tent, vaguely outlines Gu Siyuan's face.Zhong Liran looked at the light shining from the outside, and suddenly said: "Gu Siyuan, I am no longer afraid of the dark."

Zhong Liran was afraid of the dark when he was young, and Gu Siyuan slept with her, always leaving a lamp.Although many years have passed, Zhong Liran still remembers the light that was turned on in Gu Siyuan's boudoir.

Gu Siyuan was a little surprised, he lifted the quilt and wanted to get up, and said, "Then I'll go and turn off the light." As soon as the words fell, a small hand stretched out from under the quilt and held her.

Zhong Liran stopped her silently, then reached out, took Gu Siyuan's hand, and placed it under his head.Gu Siyuan turned sideways slightly, took her into his arms, reached out and patted Zhong Liran's bony back lightly, and said, "Sleep, Your Majesty."

Zhong Liran buried her small face in her arms, sniffed the familiar fragrance from childhood, and said softly, "Gu Siyuan, what a dream." She immediately closed her eyes, following the familiar fragrance all over her body, she seemed to return to that place again. Zhongzhou, which is very long in memory but very warm.

After a good night's dream, the next day was sunny, a line of gold-robed guards arrived at the gate of Zhonglidai's courtyard and welcomed Zhongliran back to the palace.

Gu Siyuan walked with the car, and the group set off from Taiyi Temple in a mighty manner, and drove along the official road into the alleyway where Gu's house was located.At the gate of Gu's house, Gu Siyuan got out of the car, gave a slight salute, turned and entered the house.After she left, the carriage rolled out of the alleyway and drove all the way to the deep palace.

In the next few days, Gu Siyuan never saw Zhong Liran again.She still works in the Hongwen Museum every day, and she is very helpless to the worried eyes often shown by her mother at home.After another half a month, an expected imperial decree came to the Gu family.

The decree was delivered by the chief minister of Jiantiansi, Zhong Liyu, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Gu Tingyu and his wife and daughter received the decree in the courtyard. After hearing the announcement, the entire mansion except Gu Siyuan was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.

After the adults waiting to pass the decree were taken to the front hall by Gu Tingyu, Gu's mother, who had been worried for half a month, finally caught Gu Siyuan who was alone in the study, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is not yet 12 years old." Her daughter is in her teens, the best age.

Gu Siyuan thought that although she was only 12 years old, she would grow up one day and become a good king.

As for me, whether I am someone else's wife or Zhong Liran's queen, what difference does it make?All of this was expected, so Gu Siyuan responded: "If you must get married, then there is no difference between a 12-year-old emperor and a 28-year-old young servant."

"What's more..." Gu Siyuan raised his head, looked at his mother and smiled softly, "Your Majesty is a very good person."

Because the child said that no one can move her flowers and fish.

The author has something to say: The flowers and fish that Zhong Liran said before are actually saying that I will protect you,

Chapter 9 II.3

Since the autumn of last year, when the ministers wrote to propose the emperor's grand marriage, there have been several disputes in the court over this matter.Everyone thought that it was impossible for the emperor and the empress dowager behind him to agree to this time, and they would end up with nothing, so they regressed and compromised, and let the emperor take charge in a few years.But no one expected that the empress dowager agreed to the emperor's wedding, and joined forces with the people who supervised Tiansi, and together with the clan, they contributed to He Jie in the court.

The empress dowager not only picked out the right candidate for the big wedding—at least in the eyes of the courtiers, Gu Siyuan was the right candidate for the empress dowager, but also won the emperor to be in charge after the wedding, which can be said to be a victory .

After the imperial decree of the wedding ceremony was issued to the Gu family, it was sent to all continents and informed to the people of Chu State.The common people know that three months later, the new emperor will get married and the world will be pardoned, so they run around to tell each other and celebrate happily.

The storyteller in Yuanzhou City added a few words to the version of the emperor's attack that had been circulated in the world half a month ago, under the instruction of some people, and described the future queen as a person with a compassionate heart like a god.The new emperor was young, and the queen who married her was nine years older than her. This is a rare thing in the Chu royal family and even among the people, and it must be talked about.Therefore, the streets of Yuanzhou have compiled several versions.

Gu Siyuan is a person who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out, so he can't hear these folk chats after dinner.After the wedding decree came down, the Empress Dowager also issued a decree to let her enter the palace to learn palace etiquette with Lady Lin.

Generally speaking, women from noble and aristocratic families will have female officials to teach them etiquette.But Gu Siyuan is heading towards the back position, so he has a lot to learn.Originally, the palace sent a female official to Gu's mansion to teach, but the Empress Dowager specially ordered Gu Siyuan to enter the palace, presumably to meet this future granddaughter-in-law.

The Gu family knew it well, so on the second day after the Empress Dowager issued the decree, Gu Siyuan took the carriage from the deep palace and went to Weiyang Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

As the late spring goes, the atmosphere of early summer gradually becomes stronger, and the sun begins to show its full vitality.Under the bright sunlight, the carriage swayed all the way to Weiyang Palace.Gu Siyuan got off his horse at the gate of the palace, and was blinded by the fierce sunlight for a moment.The maid waiting at the gate of the palace saw the carriage, immediately stepped forward to salute, and led her into Weiyang Palace.

They walked along the corridor, and the yards on both sides of the corridor were filled with greenery.Without squinting, Gu Siyuan followed the maid into the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and saw the Empress Dowager sitting in the hall.

The Empress Dowager is almost [-] years old, but she is well maintained.She is the daughter of the Li family, a scholarly family in Yuanzhou, and her name is Li Ran.The original wife of Emperor Ming of Chu belonged to the Li family, and the current Empress Dowager Li Ran can be regarded as the niece of Emperor Ming's first wife.

Li Ran's appearance is extremely beautiful, but now in his forties, he still has a kind of dignity and grace that ordinary people can't match.

Gu Siyuan stepped into the gate of the palace, walked up to the Empress Dowager and gave a salute, "My minister pays homage to the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager nodded, with a soft smile on her face, and said, "Good boy, sit down quickly. .”

After saying that, give Gu Siyuan a seat.Gu Siyuan took his seat, and the maids served tea to them.Li Ran stretched out his hand, picked up a cup of tea on the table, lifted the lid of the tea and fiddled with the mouth of the cup slightly, and said warmly to Gu Siyuan: "This is the cloud and mist that was newly offered. You just came back from the palace. You must be thirsty. Try it quickly." .”

This is a very gentle woman, her words are as soft as spring breeze.Gu Siyuan thanked Grace, and carefully took a sip while holding the teacup.Gu Siyuan's eyes lit up as soon as he took it in, the fragrance of tea overflowed and the sweetness burst out of his mouth.

Li Ran kept looking at her from the corner of his eye, and asked, "Do you like it? Do you think it's good?"

Gu Siyuan put down the cup, nodded and replied: "This cloud and mist is very good. It tastes like a sweet and sharp taste after the rain. I like it very much. Thank you for the kindness of the Empress Dowager."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Good boy, as long as you like it, I'll send some back to you later."

Gu Siyuan quickly nodded, and said: "I am here, so I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for her kindness."

Li Ran smiled, looked at her and said, "It's almost a family, don't be so reserved. Your real name is Siyuan, if you don't mind, I'll call you Sisi."

Gu Siyuan hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager can do as she pleases."

Li Ran took a few more careful look at her. The double ten woman in front of her was beautiful and graceful.

She also remembered that when she drew up the list of flowers to admire, the child Mai Mai stood beside her, and after reading the list, she said calmly, "Gu Siyuan, the second daughter of the servant of the household department, Gu Tingyu, and grandmother should also be added."

The emperor's words were very solemn, and it was rare to express his opinion on this matter, so Li Ran turned around and asked her: "Mai Mai, does Gu Tingyu have a daughter?"
