Chapter 226 Entering the Palace II

Zhou Yongsheng, who was concentrating on dealing with political affairs in the palace, concentrated on the words and thoughts he wrote.

At this moment, a sudden sound broke the silence and reached his keen ears.

With his heart tightening, he put down the brush he was holding tightly in his hand, stood up lightly, and cast his eyes in the direction of the door.

Looking through the open door, he was surprised to find that his grandfather was holding an innocent and naive little baby.

Zhou Yongsheng saw the innocent smile on the child's face from a distance, and a warm current surged in his heart, and a loving smile bloomed on his face. He couldn't wait to step forward and quickly walked towards the door.

When Zhou Yongsheng walked out of the palace, Han He and Gu Yu happened to arrive in front of the door. Grandfather and grandson looked at each other and called, "Grandpa."

Han He saw Zhou Yongsheng coming out to greet him in person, and heard the kindness and respect in his honest and deep voice.

He hurriedly put Mingming in his arms gently on the ground, and respectfully bowed to Zhou Yongsheng as a monarch and his ministers, "I see you, Your Majesty."

In this era, no matter how close you are to the emperor, even if you are the emperor's grandfather or uncle, the difference between emperor and minister is still insurmountable.

The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. This hierarchical system is deeply rooted and cannot be changed.

Zhou Yongsheng did not want Han He to be too humble in front of him.

However, you must follow the etiquette regulations of the court. If he shows too much affection towards his grandfather, I am afraid that tomorrow a censor official will write a letter of impeachment, accusing him and Han He of inappropriate behavior.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yongsheng quickly stretched out his hand to help Han He up and said gently: "Grandpa, there is no need to be polite. Please get up quickly."

Then, he turned his gaze to Han Yili, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a gentle smile: "Cousin, this must be my cousin!"

The relationship between Han Yili and Zhou Yongsheng is quite good. When he and Gu Yu got married, Zhou Yongsheng fought bravely on the border battlefield to kill the enemy.

After he returns, there are so many things that need to be dealt with that he has not yet seen Gu Yu.

Han Yili quickly replied: "Reporting to the emperor, Gu Yu is my concubine's wife."

Zhou Yongsheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and he thought to himself: Back then, as a prince, he had the late emperor above him. Whether they are cousins, cousins, or reading companions, the relationship between them is quite familiar, not as unfamiliar as it is now.

Since ascending to the throne, Zhou Yongsheng has clearly felt that the people he was once so familiar with have no longer treated him as naturally and casually as they did in the past due to their changed status.

As the late emperors said, once you sit on the supreme throne, it means that you will lose many things in this life, and you are destined to become a loner.

Gu Yu and others were completely unaware of Zhou Yongsheng's true inner thoughts. Even if they knew it, Gu Yu would probably just say one sentence lightly: Since ancient times, the royal family values ​​love (money) the most, but at the same time it is also the most ruthless and unjust.

Having a heart-to-heart relationship with the emperor is something that needs to be carried over your head! Who dares to become close friends with the emperor easily?
Gu Yu performed a standard and solemn ceremony to meet the emperor, and said in a clear and authentic voice: "A common woman meets the emperor, long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Han Yili and Gu Yuyi have no fame, and the other has no official position. According to etiquette, Gu Yu cannot call herself a courtier's wife like Ye, but can only call herself a commoner's wife.

Zhou Yongsheng actually wanted to take a closer look at Gu Yu and see what kind of woman she was. She was able to let his pampered cousin marry her, and she was even willing to marry into the Gu family. However, seeing that the two already had three children, Zhou Yongsheng could clearly feel from Han Yili's eyes that Han Yili really loved the woman in front of him.

Even if he, as the co-owner of the world, asked Han Yili to reconcile with Gu Yu and bring the three children back to live with the Han family, Han Yili might not necessarily listen.

Maybe, even the friendship between brothers will be ruined.

So, Zhou Yongsheng said: "It turns out they are cousins!" He added: "We are all one family. My brothers and sisters will enter the palace with their cousins ​​in the future, so they don't have to be so reserved and polite in front of me."

Gu Yu would not take the words of a family seriously, so he replied: "Yes."

I complained in my heart, if you take the emperor's words seriously, you will definitely have a place on the high platform of the vegetable market in the future.

After the two parties met, Zhou Yongsheng left Han Yili and Han He behind and asked the manager to lead Gu Yu and Ye Shi to find Han Yuanxiang.

Gu Yu and Ye Shi were led by palace officials to the palace where the Queen Mother lived.

After the briefing, when I stepped into the hall, the sight in front of me was breathtaking. The interior of the palace is spacious and bright, and a huge dazzling night pearl hangs from the ceiling, shining like a star.

The walls are covered with precious calligraphy, paintings and tapestries, each showing unique artistic charm.

The ground is covered with thick carpets, which are soft and comfortable. Walking on them is like walking on the clouds. In the center of the hall is a huge golden-lacquered phoenix couch, with gorgeous silk and satin bedding laid on it, demonstrating the majesty and dignity of the royal family.

There are reception areas on both sides of the bed, with precious and rare mahogany furniture. Exquisite porcelain and refreshments are displayed on the coffee table. Next to it are exquisite antique vases worth thousands of dollars.

As soon as Gu Yu and Ye entered the palace, they heard a gentle female voice: "Mother."

Gu Yu looked intently and saw a woman who was more than thirty years old, supported by two palace maids. Her hair was neatly coiled on her head, filled with gold hairpins and jade hairpins. Her hanging hair was as soft and soft as silk. Flicking across the face.

His face is kind and solemn. Although time has left some traces on his face, it is difficult to conceal his noble and elegant temperament.

There is a kind of gentleness and wisdom in her eyes, a woman who can't help but respect her.

Gu Yu continued to look at Han Yuanxiang's eyebrows, which were as slender and delicate as Han Yili's, outlining the outline of her face like a meticulous sketch; her eyes were bright and deep, seeming to contain endless wisdom and majesty, every time she blinked They all exude a heart-wrenching charm.

Her lips were painted with light lipstick, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth had a gentle and eager tone, making people want to continue listening to every word she said.

Look at the brocade robe that the woman is wearing, which is embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns. The sleeves are as wide as flowing clouds, and the texture is soft and smooth, as if they are flowing with splendor.

Without thinking too much, you can guess that the woman in front of you is the current Queen Mother.

Zhou Yongsheng held a grand enthronement and canonization ceremony. As the royal wife, Ye followed other aristocratic women to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen.

It's just that several days have passed since that grand ceremony, and Ye has not seen this daughter who has brought countless honors to the family but is imprisoned in this golden cage.

Ye hurriedly walked towards Han Yuanxiang, held her hand, her voice was trembling, but she whispered softly: "I have seen the Queen Mother, and I wish you good health. I wish the Queen Mother good health and a long life."
