The Queen Mother could also see that Hong'er had a crush on Gongsun Ning, but they were young and it was not a relationship between a man and a woman.
But the two children grew up together, childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and matched their identities. When they grow up, they will understand these things, and it will naturally fall into place.
After Hong'er left, Jinxin's palace became silent again.
Although there are several children accompanying him, they cannot replace a close friend.
There are only a few masters in this huge palace, and they don't need too many people to serve. They let out a lot of people, which makes the palace even more cold.
Walking back into the palace, looking at the paintings by the late emperor hanging in the palace, I could still imagine him standing on the desk in the imperial study room before writing.
Since the late emperor left. Jin Xin no longer wore any makeup.
Cuigu came in with tea and saw her looking at the painting again.
"Queen Mother, don't look at it, it will hurt your eyes." Cui Gu reminded.
Jin Xin stepped forward. Caressing the painting, I felt a little emotional, "I used to think that the late emperor was cold and cold, but little did I know that the Ai family was the coldest person, alas."
"Queen Mother, don't say that. You are trying to protect yourself. You can't always live in the past. It would be embarrassing for yourself."
Jin Xin also found out later that she actually had feelings for the late emperor, but she didn't see it clearly, and she finally understood.
Although he lives a comfortable life, his identity is also a constraint. Living in the palace, there are not many things to pass the time, so when he sees old things, he will naturally feel sad.
"Queen Mother, the Lord Protector has come to pay his respects to the Queen Mother." Caihong came in to report.
"Let him come in." Jin Xin said calmly.
Gu Zhao is the emperor's martial arts teacher. He is responsible for riding horses, archery, and teaching him kung fu. He has to go to the palace every double day and spend an afternoon with the emperor.
The emperor is young now, and Jiang Quwu and several ministers jointly decide on government affairs, so the emperor spends a lot of time studying and exercising.
The reason why he was allowed to get married in the first place was to make the late emperor trust him and not ruin his future. Gu Zhao was also willing to cooperate.
Now that the world is at peace, Gu Zhao has nothing to do, and his life in the capital is quite comfortable. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was also very important to him, and Gu Zhao was also very dedicated.
He didn't come to pay his respects every time he entered the palace. He rarely came. Now that he came here, he probably had something to do.
"I wish the Queen Mother to greet you." Gu Zhao came in and made a formal greeting.
"The Lord Protector teaches the emperor that he is very busy, so why are you here at Shoukang Palace today?"
"I have asked for leave from the emperor and plan to take my wife back to my hometown to meet my relatives." Gu Zhao respectfully replied.
Knowing that he couldn't do it, he no longer forced himself. Now that the Queen Mother no longer needed him, he felt at ease.
Over the past year, he could also see Su Yan's feelings for him. She knew that he had no intentions for her, but she still paid without regrets. Gu Zhao really couldn't bear it.
Su Yan was an excellent woman, gentle, kind, sensible, independent, and strong. Gu Zhao even felt that he was not worthy of the way she treated him.
So he wants to be nice to her.
Jin Xin nodded when she heard this, and was happy for him, "That's right, but how long do you plan to take leave?"
"As little as three months, as much as half a year."
"It's good, now that the world is at peace and the Imperial Master and the Grand Tutor are jointly responsible for all matters in the court, the Lord Protector can rest peacefully. You have worked hard these years."
Gu Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart and raised his eyes to look at her, "Does the Queen Mother have anything else to say to me?"
In the hall, Cui Gu is waiting.
"Thank you for your kindness. I don't know how to repay you. I will probably have to stay in this palace for the rest of my life. I can't let Hong'er be in trouble." Jin Xin looked at him with shame.
Gu Zhao was really good, but he missed it after all.
When she first learned about his feelings, she was afraid, afraid that others would find out, and both of them would be in a desperate situation. Later, when she learned about his efforts, she was moved and felt guilty, and she didn't want to owe him anything.
But in fact she owed a lot.
Jin Xin knew what he wanted, but she couldn't give it to him.
Didn't Su Yan pay the same amount to Gu Zhao over the years as he did? So Jin Xin felt that Su Yan was more suitable for him, and hoped that he could forget the past and start dating Su Yan.
They are both people with pure intentions and will definitely not make each other sad.
We can't know each other and love each other, but we can still respect each other as guests.
Jin Xin had selfish motives, hoping that Gu Zhao would not only forget about her, but also be a good protector of the country, and not let this affection become a sharp blade to strangle him in the future and destroy everything he had worked hard for for many years.
In that case, Jin Xin would hate herself to death.
Now that she heard that he was willing to accept Su Yan, Jin Xin was happier than anyone else.
When Gu Zhao heard her words, his eyes darkened again, he sighed and could only accept it,
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself and consider everything for yourself. If you do this, your queen will not say anything anymore."
He can only be his protector.
"Go on with Su Yan well and don't let her down." Jin Xin warned.
Gu Zhao cupped his hands and bowed, "My lord, I obey your order."
When leaving, Jin Xin watched him walk out of Shoukang Palace.
"Gu Zhao, thank you very much. I hope you will be happy for the rest of your life, have many children and grandchildren, and know your lover until you grow old." Jin Xin murmured in a low voice.
"Mother!" Princess Ronghuan ran in from the door, followed by a group of slaves. She was jumping and jumping, making her covered in sweat.
Jin Xin looked at her helplessly and asked someone to bring a handkerchief and wipe it for her.
"Huan'er, didn't I tell you not to make such a fuss? You don't look like a princess." Jin Xin wiped her face, feeling angry and laughing at the same time.
"Mother, I'm going to hide. The second sister is looking for me due west!" Huan'er said excitedly after wiping the brocade heart.
"Playing hide and seek again?" Jin Xin asked.
"Yes, I want to hide here from you. Second Sister is so awesome. I am found every time. This time, I must hide well!" Rong Huan said, ran to the inner hall and hid behind the screen.
After a while, Jing Lin also came, looking in a hurry. When he saw the Queen Mother, he quickly saluted and then said, "Mother, we are playing hide and seek, can we hide here?"
Jin Xin whispered, "Rong Huan is inside, find a place to hide yourself."
After hearing this, Jing Lin rushed into the hall and immediately went to the screen. The two children met behind the screen and almost screamed.
These three children are innocent and innocent. They play together every day, complain to each other, and play together again after complaining.
The voices of these three are chattering every day, endless lawsuits and endless arguments.
Not long after, Rongle arrived. After bowing to the Queen Mother, he began to search in the palace.
Jin Xin sat on the soft couch, sipping tea leisurely and watching them make trouble.
The two children were found at the same time, and they complained about each other's noises. There was another quarrel, and the hall was full of children's voices.
Jin Xin smiled helplessly, originally thinking that this life would be difficult, but looking at it this way, it seemed to be quite good.
Looking outside, she saw the sun was shining brightly and the palace was bustling, which made her feel warm in her heart.
Now that the DPRK is stable, after a few years, all power will return to Hong'er's hands. She will also give him the military power. After he gets married, she will move outside the palace.
Find a place with pleasant scenery to live, raise flowers, cats and dogs. If you are in the mood, go sightseeing, and when you are tired, settle down somewhere.
Life is just like this, there are losses and gains.
There was still a quarrel in the palace, and Jin Xin and Cui Gu looked at each other and smiled.
