Gu Shujin was the granddaughter of Empress Dowager Yu. When Emperor Jianwen was still alive, he granted Gu Shujin the title of Princess Duanhui. The word "hui" shows Emperor Jianwen's love for Gu Shujin.
Gu Shujin has her own princess's mansion. After getting married, she can live in the princess's mansion with her new husband.
However, Gu Shujin did not do this, and took the initiative to say that she would live in the Zhao Mansion for a year, serve her elders, and fulfill her filial piety. After a year, she would go to the Princess Mansion again.
This move made the elders of the Zhao family feel comfortable and very satisfied with Gu Shujin.
Three days after their wedding, Gu Shujin and her newlywed husband Zhao Yiming entered the palace to pay their respects.
Empress Dowager Yu was lingering on the bed, unable to get up. The newlyweds knelt down a few meters away from the bed, kowtowed to say hello: "Jin'er kowtows to the Queen's grandmother."
"My grandson-in-law, Zhao Yiming, has met the emperor's grandmother."
Empress Dowager Yu, who was lying on the bed, said: "Stay flat and watch!"
After that, he said nothing again.
The young couple kowtowed again to express their gratitude, then resigned from Fulin Palace and went to Jiaofang Palace to pay respects to the emperor and empress.
Zhao Yiming approached Gu Shujin and whispered: "The Queen's grandmother doesn't like me very much."
After all, this was the first time she met her grandson-in-law, but Queen Mother Yu didn’t even look at her. No matter how seriously ill she was, she couldn’t even smile!
Gu Shujin also felt quite unhappy.
Because of her marriage, the Queen's grandmother resented her and her mother.
She was filial to the imperial grandmother, but she was never willing to sacrifice her life-long happiness because of it. The young master of the Chu family was also an outstanding son, but she did not want to marry into a general and become a pawn in the marriage.
She and Zhao Yiming did not get married blindly. Before they decided to get married, the two met several times, and they decided to get married after they liked each other.
"From now on, we will often go to the palace to pay homage to the Queen's grandmother." Gu Shujin opened her mouth softly.
Zhao Yiming nodded and said nothing more.
Going to Jiaofang Palace to say hello is different from Fulin Palace.
The emperor did not go to the morning court today, but stayed in Jiaofang Hall to wait for his niece and nephew's son-in-law. Xie Mingxi smiled brightly, and A Luo stood beside the empress with a smile. Xiao Yuhan, Yin Xiaoxiao, Zhao Changqing were also there, and brother Ji
Waiting for others, the whole group is harmonious and lively.
The grievances in Gu Shujin's heart were swept away, and she and her newlywed husband made a grand ceremony together: "Jin'er pays your respects to the Emperor and the Queen."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said: "Get up quickly!"
Sheng Hong also smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite. Jin'er, just call me Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt as usual."
The emperor and the empress joined forces to suppress Empress Dowager Yu, but they still respected Princess Changping and it did not affect Gu Shujin. She was still as close to Gu Shujin as before.
Gu Shujin's heart felt hot, so she changed her tune abruptly and called her Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt.
Zhao Yiming was also shameless and changed his tune along with him.
Zhao Yiming is the eldest grandson of the Zhao family. He is only a few years younger than his uncle Zhao Qi. His appearance is not very similar, but his temperament and temperament are somewhat like Zhao Qi. He is generally bold and thick-faced.
Sheng Hong and Zhao Yiming exchanged a few words and couldn't help but think about their classmates and friends: "...it has been four years since Zhao Qi went to Shu to serve as an official. He will complete his term next year."
Zhao Yiming took over the conversation with a smile: "My grandfather often talks about my fifth uncle."
The elder Zhao Ge loved and doted on his youngest son Zhao Qi, and he was quite famous in the capital.
Sheng Hong laughed casually and said: "Next year, Zhao Qi and Lu Chi will return to Beijing to report on their work. They will just stay in the capital then."
Now that the court has become much more stable, he can also calmly arrange for his people to return to Beijing and take up their posts.
The emperor has no jokes!
When Zhao Yiming heard this, he was secretly happy. His face could not help but reveal a bit of it. Sheng Hong saw it and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that it's not your grandfather who cares about you, but you who care about your fifth uncle!"
Zhao Yiming grinned: "I dare not hide it from Uncle Seven. In the past, when Uncle Five was in the capital, our brothers all liked to play naughty with Uncle Five..." After coughing, he changed his words: "Playing with Uncle Five. He has been gone for several years. At home,
I'm not the only one who thinks about him."
Thinking of his lively and out-of-the-box friend Zhao Qi, a smile flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Zhao Yiming's handsome and smiling face, and nodded secretly in her heart.
Princess Changping took great pains to choose this marriage for her daughter.
Zhao Yiming came from a well-known family and had outstanding talents and learning. What's more rare is that he has a gentle temperament, lively and lovable. After getting married, Zhao Yiming treated Gu Shujin gently and considerately. The newlyweds were as good as honey mixed with oil.
"Cousin Jin," A Luo interrupted with a smile: "You and your cousin-in-law didn't forget to prepare a meeting gift for us!"
Gu Shujin was a little embarrassed, but also a little funny, and said coquettishly: "Of course I won't forget it."
Zhao Yiming quickly stepped into the role of brother-in-law and grinned: "Look at me, I forgot everything as soon as I talked to Uncle Seven. The meeting gift has been prepared a long time ago. You all come over and call me brother-in-law."
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi: "..."
The emperor and empress looked at each other, with uncontrollable smiles in their eyes.
This Zhao Yiming looks a bit like Zhao Qi when he was young!
…
The newlyweds stayed in the Jiaofang Palace for most of the day, and returned to the Zhao Mansion near evening. Both the emperor and the empress received generous rewards, which were even more generous than those of the Empress Dowager Yu.
It can also be seen from this that Gu Shujin’s holy love is strong.
Everyone in the Zhao family saw this, and felt extremely comfortable.
The Zhao family did not say anything, but they could not help but murmur secretly in their hearts. Empress Dowager Yu fell, and Princess Changping lost her former glory and honor. The princess Gu Shujin had a nice name, but in fact she was just a glamorous person.
Today, the newlyweds entered the palace to pay their respects. The words and deeds of the emperor and empress all showed the importance and affection they attached to Gu Shujin. As a result, the Zhao family was extremely satisfied.
Mr. Zhao Ge specially called his eldest grandson Zhao Yiming into the study room and asked him carefully about his visit to the palace today.
Zhao Yiming spoke with great joy: "...The Emperor is very close to Jin'er, and he is also very close to his grandchildren. If there are no outsiders, please let me call you uncle, and call the empress your aunt."
"After that, my uncle kept telling me about my fifth uncle. He also said that next year, my uncle would be transferred back to Beijing after completing his term as an official."
Mr. Zhao Ge perked up and asked with a smile: "Did the emperor really say it himself?"
Zhao Yiming straightened his chest and looked proud: "Uncle Seventh said it himself."
Mr. Zhao Ge: "..."
The shameless character of the eldest grandson is really similar to that of his fifth uncle Zhao Qi!
Mr. Zhao Ge glared at his eldest grandson and reminded in a low voice: "It's your blessing that the emperor is so close to you. It's okay for you to shout in private. Don't shout in front of others. Otherwise, you will be laughed at and said that you are
My eyelids are shallow."
Zhao Yiming nodded obediently and said, "Grandpa's words make sense. From now on, I will only call my uncle and aunt when I enter the palace to greet you."
