sturdy landlady

Chapter 139
"Xiao Xiao, you're going to the palace today, so you don't have to hold Xiao Qiuqiu." Gu Yumian looked at the little milk dog in Gu Xiaoxiao's arms, and said helplessly.

"The little guy can't leave me, I'd better take her with me." Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Just kidding, her Qiuqiu is as strong as her, and it is her trump card. Of course, she has to take it with her wherever she goes. With Qiuqiu, she can feel at ease. Surely you can protect yourself.

"It's up to you!" Gu Yumian shook her head helplessly.

"Mother, I already asked someone to make a plaque yesterday, and I gave a large sum of money. I should be able to make a plaque today. When the time comes, mother will ask someone to hang it." Gu Xiaoxiao said with a smile .

"What plaque?" Mrs. Ye asked in surprise.

"Of course it's the plaque at the gate of our Gu Mansion." Gu Xiaoxiao took it for granted.

Two Gu families are about to appear in the capital. Which Gu family will win in the future?Then wait and see.

"Okay!" A smile appeared on Mrs. Ye's face when she heard this, feeling quite relieved.

Gu Xiaoxiao waved at her mother and aunt, and boarded the sedan chair sent by the palace.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Just look at this sedan chair. It's so luxurious. It shows how much the emperor likes our Xiaoxiao. Although Xiaoxiao is very strong now, he doesn't care about it, but the people around him can follow suit." Gu Yumian said with a smile .

"Yeah." Mrs. Ye nodded with a smile, and said softly: "But... all of this depends on Xiaoxiao, just like we all relied on your elder brother back then. Once he is gone, the sky will fall."

Who would have thought that Gu Weixun would die suddenly in his prime of life, and all this would have dealt a huge blow to Mrs. Ye.

"Our Xiaoxiao is so powerful, we will surely live a long life, we just need to live safely and securely by her." Gu Yumian smiled while holding her sister-in-law's hand.

"Yeah!" Mrs. Ye nodded with a smile, but she was still worried about her daughter.

"Sister-in-law, the emperor is so polite to Xiaoxiao, she must have received a reward when she entered the palace, sister-in-law, don't worry!" Gu Yumian said with a smile.

"Yes!" Mrs. Ye nodded lightly, followed Gu Yumian back to the house and waited.

After Gu Xiaoxiao entered the palace in a sedan chair, she found that the sedan chair didn't stop at all, and kept walking towards the inner court.

You know, according to the rules in the palace, except for the masters in the palace, people outside the palace have to get off their sedan chairs and walk when they reach the gate of the palace. Unexpectedly, these people carried her in.

Is this the grace given to her by the emperor who yearns for immortality?

"Miss, the emperor has ordered that you can go to Longxiang Palace in a sedan chair all the time." The eunuch at the side saw Gu Xiaoxiao's puzzled expression, and then said with a smile.

"En!" Gu Xiaoxiao nodded.

The old eunuch saw that Gu Xiaoxiao's face was pale, and immediately added: "This is the kindness that the emperor bestowed on the young lady. If it were someone else, it would be absolutely impossible."

When Gu Xiaoxiao heard this, a sneer appeared on his face.

What's the matter?Do you want her to get off the sedan chair in fear and kowtow in the direction of the emperor to thank you?
To be honest, she didn't have any affection for this irresponsible emperor.

My father fought on the battlefield for the emperor, he was loyal, and in the end he died for no reason, but the emperor didn't react at all, he didn't give him any comfort to the mother who lost his husband and father, and he never sent anyone to investigate the cause of his father's death .

This is a person who is cold by nature and extremely selfish.

Doesn't deserve allegiance at all.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, the old eunuch felt a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything, because he knew that this young lady was now a very popular figure in the dynasty, and even the emperor wanted to coax him. How could he be an eunuch? Dare to offend?

"Miss, Longxiang Palace is ahead." After a while, the old eunuch pointed to the distance and said respectfully.

Gu Xiaoxiao just nodded when she heard the words, and said nothing. After the sedan chair landed, she didn't bother to wait for someone to help her, so she jumped off and went to the main hall of Longxiang Palace.

"Miss, slow down!" The old eunuch immediately chased after him, fearing that Gu Xiaoxiao would bump into the nobles in the palace, after all, Gu Xiaoxiao was not the only one summoned by the emperor to Longxiang Palace today.

In the main hall of Longxiang Palace, the emperor sat high, the queen accompanied him, and the national teacher sat on the other side. It can be seen how high the status of the national teacher Ji Li is in the emperor's heart.

In addition, the crown prince and other princes were also present, as well as the only princess of the royal family, Feng Xuetang, who just arrived yesterday after returning from her travels.

People from the four major kingdoms' mansions have also entered the palace according to the imperial edict, and several princes are talking with the emperor.

At the entrance of the main hall, Gu Xiaoxiao was stopped, and then she heard the eunuch report inside.

"Report to the emperor, Miss Gu has arrived!"

When the emperor heard the words, there was a gleam of joy on his face, he raised his hand and said, "Come in, please!"

"Yes!" The eunuch responded, and immediately came out to invite Gu Xiaoxiao into the hall.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that there were so many people in the hall. She saw her second uncle Gu Weide at a glance. Compared with the past, this second uncle looked at her with a little more awe.

Once she experienced what it means to respect strength.

"The courtiers pay homage to the emperor, long live the emperor." Gu Xiaoxiao arrived in the middle of the hall and bowed slightly towards the emperor.

"Shouldn't Ms. Gu give a big gift when she sees her father?" Feng Xuetang, who was sitting next to the prince, said with a frown.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked up at the princess with a calm expression.

The memory in her mind told her that this princess was very clingy to her brother, the prince, so she was very unfriendly to Gu Xiaoxiao, the former prince's fiancée. In the palace, they will be teased by the princess, and the two often have conflicts.

"Xuetang is so rude, Miss Gu is a distinguished guest invited by me, there is no need to give a big ceremony, here comes, please take a seat!" The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile.

When Feng Xuetang saw that her father actually said that, her face turned green with anger, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just gave Gu Xiaoxiao a hard look.

Gu Xiaoxiao knew that this delicate and precious princess didn't like her, so how could she like this proud little peacock?
Feng Xuetang is the younger sister of the crown prince's mother, who was born to the former empress. I heard that the former empress died of blood collapse just to give birth to her, so the emperor didn't like this daughter who "killed" her first wife.

But as the only princess in the palace, Feng Xuetang is still very favored, especially the prince, who is extremely protective of this sister.

About half a year ago, the princess clamored to go out of the palace to travel, but the prince couldn't resist, so he sent someone to protect her and sent her out of Beijing.

Feng Xuetang left for half a year.

"Miss, please sit down!" The eunuch arranged Gu Xiaoxiao's seat behind the sixth prince and in front of the princes.

It can be seen how high Gu Xiaoxiao's status is in the emperor's heart.
