Chapter 1449

Yongxi four years.

Emperor Gu Ci brought his younger sister Gu Wanwan back to the capital from the south.

It has been half a year since he left, although the court has the support of Li Diyao and Lu Qinghan, the cabinet scholars, and everything is done step by step, but the emperor is not in the palace, and people still feel uncertain.

When the little emperor came back, the officials in the court were overjoyed, Li Diyao and Lu Qinghan were even more overjoyed, and immediately went out of the city to greet him in person.

Today, the two pillars of the court are Li Diyao, a senior scholar, and Lu Qinghan, a senior scholar.

Li Diyao is the first assistant of the cabinet, and Lu Qinghan is the second assistant.

Back then, they were classmates and friends, and they were also the top three in the gold list in the same year, so they should have been best friends.

However, because of some emotional issues and different political views on many things, the two now have almost no personal relationship, only official cooperation and contacts.

As the emperor's uncle, Li Diyao's influence in the court naturally surpassed that of Lu Qinghan.

After receiving the emperor and the eldest princess, Li Diyao rode a horse and talked with the emperor's carriage on the way back.

Lu Qinghan wisely followed from a distance.

"Second Uncle, I will give your grandfather a birthday gift for you. Grandfather will be very happy." Gu Ci laughed.

Because of their close relationship, in private, they do not refer to each other as monarchs and ministers.

Li Diyao said with a smile: "Don't comfort me, don't I understand your grandfather's temperament? Must be because I didn't go back, I cursed him all the time, right?"

Ci'er laughed: "It's not like what my uncle said. When I get old, I just think that my sons and daughters and grandchildren are by my side, and the whole family is there, but the second uncle's family is missing, which is unavoidably regrettable."

"Oh, it's my unfilial son."

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve. The second uncle is the real knight for the country and the people."

"That's all, don't compliment me." Li Diyao waved his hand and stroked his short beard, "I don't know how the old man is doing?"

"Thinner, but in good spirits."

"Where are your parents?" Having said this, Li Diyao's voice softened.

"Second uncle, you don't need to ask, the life of their husband and wife is ten thousand times happier than yours!" Ci'er said, "Look at your hard work for the country, and you will stand in front of your parents in a few years." , is not like a generation."

Li Diyao laughed: "Everyone has his own destiny."

Gu Ci said: "By the way, there is another piece of good news. My aunt is happy again."

"Oh, it's really good news." Li Diyao was very pleasantly surprised, "Your Majesty, in two years, you will also allow me to take a few months off, and allow me to go back to my hometown?"

"Why does it take two years? Second uncle wants to go back to his hometown, he can go anytime."

"Hey, no, no, no, I can't leave now. There are so many things at hand. It's not nice to say it. Originally, people saw me as His Majesty's uncle, and they were not convinced in many ways. I can still turn the blame on them. Send it in your mouth?"

Gu Ci laughed and said, "Uncle why bother with them."

"People's words are terrible, Your Majesty. You don't have to care about some things in your heart, but you still have to take them into consideration when you do things."

"Thank you uncle for teaching, I will remember."

"Besides, what did your parents say about His Majesty's marriage?"

"I have discussed this matter with my parents. What they mean is that we can settle down first, stabilize the court and the hearts of the people, and wait until I am sixteen before formally marrying and registering as a queen."

Li Diyao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This is a great idea, let's do it this way. Regarding the next candidate..."

"Mother said, let me choose the one I like, family background and so on, don't worry too much." Gu Ci said, "She means that this matter will have to trouble the second aunt, and hold a poetry ceremony at the county palace. Yes, we invite young ladies of the appropriate age in Beijing to go."

Li Diyao said with a smile: "This is indeed a solution that your mother can come up with. She loves you to the extreme. She is afraid that I will make the decision without authorization and choose a queen that you don't like."

Gu Ci also laughed.

Although he is still young, his psychological temperament has already matured and stable, and he does not reject the matter of choosing a woman he likes.

Mother is right, if you want to meet someone for a lifetime, if you don't choose someone who is close to your eyes and likes, you will be so sad.

Li Diyao handled the affairs neatly, and after sending the emperor back to the palace, he immediately went back to the county palace and discussed the matter with his wife Yang Xue.

Yang Xue is a person with strong physical strength by nature, even if she has to take care of the four children and take care of the middle class of the entire county palace, she is still able to do a job with ease and is full of energy.

When she heard that a poetry meeting was going to be held for the emperor after the election, she immediately became happy, clapped her hands and said: "Speaking of which, when I was young, I loved to participate in this kind of flower viewing party and poetry meeting. Other ladies play and are not controlled by family members. Our county palace has never held such a poetry party, right?"

Li Diyao thought for a while, and said, "It was held before. However, it was many years ago. On my sister's 12th birthday, the mansion held a poetry meeting specially for her, and invited ladies from the capital to play with her. But ..."

Seeing his gloomy expression, Yang Xue knew that he thought of his mother and sister, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't have much experience in organizing poetry ceremonies. What if I don't do well and make people laugh? The emperor will come that day, right?"

"The emperor will come, but he won't come with great fanfare, just to take a look." Li Diyao pondered, "Just pretend you don't know about it. Isn't Tang Qiu's birthday coming soon? In the name of her birthday, I invite you Ladies from aristocratic families, come and play."

"That would be even better." Yang Xue said with a smile, "Our family has always kept a low profile, and there is no proper reason for suddenly saying that we are going to hold a poetry meeting. It’s not beautiful if it has something to do with the emperor’s election.”

After the couple discussed it, they took advantage of Tang Qiu's birthday to send out invitations to all the ladies under the age of fifteen in Beijing.

After all, the emperor was still young, and the candidate for the empress should not be too different in age from him. A difference of four or five years was acceptable.

After the average girl reaches the age of 15, it's time to discuss marriage.

Some people feel sorry for their daughters and are reluctant to marry off their daughters early, and there are also some people who are a few years later.

Yang Xue has been busy for two days, her feet don't touch the ground, and she doesn't even have time to eat.

Tang Qiu led his younger siblings to study every day. Seeing that his mother was so busy, he took a moment to ask, "Mom, my birthday hasn't come yet, and it's not a full birthday, so why are you making such a big fuss?"

"Do you think our family is such a flamboyant family?"

"Then why?" Tang Qiu didn't understand.

Yang Xue knew that although the eldest daughter was only eight years old, she was already very sensible and understood the seriousness, so she did not hide it from her and told the real reason for holding the poetry meeting.
