Chapter 161:

Mother An returned to Gu Suier's side again, but she helped Gu Suier a lot. She has some knowledge in the end. Although she can't help Gu Suier with the accounting, she can take care of the maids underneath, and she can also keep people in check, Gu Sui. Seeing this, she simply handed over some trivial matters to Mother An to take care of her, so she was a lot easier.
And since Xiao Heng smashed the West Wind Garden, the empress dowager was naturally unhappy, so that Gu Suier went to the empress dowager to ask for peace in the past few days, and the empress dowager was not waiting to see her.
Gu Suier was still a little uneasy at first, fearing that a serious crime of unfilial piety would be deducted. Later, when he thought that Xiao Heng had said enough, he no longer cared.
She said let her go. Anyway, if you come to please peace, you will go back after the peace.
The empress dowager was unhappy because of this, she looked at Gu Suier's back, frowned for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Gu Suier, do you think you can sit firmly in this position when you become a queen? Is there such a stable queen throne?"
But Gu Suier didn't hear these words. After she walked out of the Queen Mother's place, she went back to her Courtyard Palace, thinking about what she still needs to learn as a queen, as well as the next Chinese New Year worship and state banquet. You have to worry about the arrangement.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate of the Wanyi Palace, he heard the come to report that it was the eldest prince and concubine waiting outside to see Gu Suier.
Gu Suier listened, please hurry up.
At the moment she went back to the bedroom first, adjusted her makeup, wondering in her heart that the prince and concubine came to see this.
When I first saw the eldest concubine, she was just a small concubine, and she was naturally inferior to the concubine of the eldest son. As the eldest concubine took care of Princess Zhaoyang’s dowry, she just followed carefully and reluctantly followed. Just make up the number of people.
In her impression, the eldest prince and concubine were also a restrained temperament. Although they were considered gentle and gentle, they were alienated from ordinary people and were not as easy to get along with as the three princes and concubines.
Now that I heard that the eldest prince came to me suddenly, I remembered the angry look of the eldest prince when the edict was announced.
That was the fire fighting against Xiao Heng.
Although the eldest prince also worshipped Xiao Heng later, everyone could tell that the prince should be dissatisfied. As a newly enthroned emperor, Xiao Heng was naturally a little jealous of the prince, right?
At this time, the eldest prince came to see him, not with the second and third princes, there must be something wrong.
After thinking about it, the eldest prince has already stepped into the palace.
Now the eldest prince is no longer a prince, and the prince has been sealed, so the eldest prince is already called the prince.
As soon as the princess came in, Gu Suier felt something was wrong.
She used to have meticulous makeup and gorgeous dresses, but now she has a face, her eyes are puffy, her face is pale, and the clothes on her body can be seen in a hurry without careful matching.
After the princess came in, without raising her head, she knelt on the ground: "The minister's wife pays homage to the queen empress, the queen empress is a thousand years old."
Seeing this, Gu Suier hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, you can flatten yourself."
Seeing her listless look, she couldn't bear to let her kneel like this.
The princess did not get up, with a slightly hoarse voice with a tremor: "The queen empress, the minister's wife is coming today, and she has something to ask for, and she also begged the queen's empress for mercy, this time."
Gu Suier was surprised: "Sister-in-law, has something happened?"
She asked about the great prince when the two people were talking in the evening, knowing that Xiao Heng did not intend to deal with the great prince.
After all, that was the emperor brother. He heard that the throne fell aside, and he couldn't turn the corner for a while and was annoyed.
If he really had any ambitions, he would naturally not tolerate it, but as long as he abide by his duty, Xiao Heng would definitely not do siblings.
Who knows that the princess cried: "Manny, in the hall today, the prince blatantly contradicted the emperor, causing the emperor Longyan to be furious."
Gu Suier twisted her eyebrows slightly.
She knows Xiao Heng's temperament, so she won't be easily annoyed. It must be that the prince is really too much?
The eldest princess cried again: "After the prince went back, I persuaded him, but he is a stubborn temper. No matter what I say, he is indifferent."
Seeing that the princess was unable to get up, Gu Suier hurriedly ordered her to help her up, and said helplessly: "Imperial Sister-in-law, what happened to the court today? Our women and women don’t ask too much, but they are brothers, of course. Peace is the most important thing. Don’t cry now. When the emperor comes back, I will try to persuade you to use this principle. I will do my best to make it happen.

The elder princess heard this, and was reluctantly supported by the mother to sit up, wiped her tears and said: "This is not just seeing the Chinese New Year. Today in the court, I don’t know what to say. The prince actually collided with the emperor. He didn't say anything, but the prince was so angry that he left aside, that he doesn't need to reserve a place for this year's state banquet, nor will he participate in this year's festival."
When Gu Suier heard it, she was slightly startled.
She doesn't understand whether to attend the state banquet, but this festival is a big event!
Not to mention this royal festival, it is their countryside, whose old people are gone, the sacrifices during the first three years of the New Year are deliberately more grand than usual, and the children and grandchildren should be gathered together, and all offerings should be complete. The descendants of China have to buy eighteen-gun firecrackers and set off fireworks.
This kind of sacrifice must pay attention to the order of the young and old, and there is a rule of ranking. For example, in the first year, the elder is the boss to show up, and the family must eat it in the old family for the New Year’s meal. The words will take turns every year.
As for Xiao Heng and the great prince, the great prince is the leader, but Xiao Heng is also inheriting the throne. In the ceremony of sacrifice, the position of the prince may be a bit embarrassing.
But as the eldest son, no matter how annoyed he is, he shouldn't just quit the burden! When the time comes, people in the world will only say that if you, as the great prince, do not participate in the sacrifice of the father, how will you know your aggrievedness!
"Since this is the case, the emperor's wife should persuade the prince. If the prince does not go to the festival, the emperor can't force him to go!"
Gu Suier doesn't understand, is it useful to find yourself?
The eldest princess cried and said: "Now the prince has let out a word, saying that he is not going, he is behind closed doors at home and no one is seen, no one will persuade him. If I say next day, he will not listen at all! What is he? I know that you are stubborn and you can’t turn your head back easily, so today I begged the empress and empress to take a look at the emperor’s help to say something, because of the brother’s fraternity, at any rate, let the prince have a step down. It's just passed this matter."
When Gu Suier heard this, she felt wrong.
"Emperor Sister-in-law, although I don't understand what is going on, but I listen to you, it should be that the prince himself said that he did not want to participate in the festival, and the emperor did not say anything. Since the prince does not want to go, the emperor can never give an order. If you don’t want to go there, the emperor is the ninth-five, let alone begging the prince to go. I think I can’t persuade the prince to go. I think I can’t persuade the emperor’s wife to find a way to move the prince. Don’t hurt your hands and feet because of minor things. Feelings."
When the princess heard this, she was startled and lowered her head in silence.
She remembered Gu Suier's naive, easy-to-talking manner, and asked her to do whatever she wanted. This time she came over, more or less relying on her previous posture, thinking of telling her to move her, she agreed and ran. Go to the emperor and blow your ears.
It is said that the emperor loved her so much that now the courtiers went to remonstrate to the harem and were ignored by the emperor.
But I didn't expect that Gu Suier turned down directly.
When she heard Gu Suier's words, she twisted her eyebrows slightly, and looked up at Gu Suier disappointedly: "The queen, the prince is the eldest son of the first emperor. If you really can't participate in the festival this time, it will be inconsistent with the ceremony. Let the people everywhere laugh!"
If it had been before, Gu Suier might have been hoodwinked, but now, she has been in front of the Empress Dowager for many days, and she would have been fooled.
At the moment, he sighed and said helplessly: "Emperor Sister-in-law, you are absolutely right, but the prince is the elder brother of the emperor. If the prince does not participate in this festival, he can't be taken by the emperor? Majesty, if I really go to the emperor. I helped to say this in front of me. I am afraid that the emperor will be annoyed for a while, and he will be angry with me. This is absolutely impossible to say."
The princess replied and persuaded, Gu Suier kept shook her head: "I really dare not, you know the emperor's wife, the emperor didn't know how to be angry with me a few days ago, so he was so angry that he smashed Xifeng Garden. , If you accidentally provoke the emperor again, I don’t know what to do!"
The princess was naturally aware of the smashing of the West Wind Garden. When she heard this, she was also a little scared. Seeing Gu Suier's oil and salt could not get in, there was no way she could only give it up, tears in her eyes, disappointed. Goodbye.
After the princess left, Gu Suier was silent for a moment, but she asked Mother An next to her: "Mother, what do you think of this matter?"
Mother An heard Gu Suier's question, but she said: "Manny, you did the right thing, you should have rejected her! The affairs between the emperor and the prince are all matters of the court, between the hands and feet. What's the matter, what is meant by women who just interrupted? Besides, the empress is right, why not try to persuade the prince, must the emperor give the prince a step? This is the emperor and the courtier, the emperor is now the emperor, The prince is just a courtier, so why let the emperor let the courtier down the steps!"
Gu Suier agreed, and nodded, "It was the reason!"
At night, when Xiao Heng came back, Gu Suier mentioned this matter to him, and talked about his rejection of the princess.
Xiao Heng nodded: "You don't have to pay attention to it."
After speaking, he said: "Your identity now is different from before. In this world, you are under one person and above ten thousand people. Anyone will favor you, beg you, you have always been kind and soft, but you must remember , Anyone who asks you, you have to think twice and don’t easily agree."
Seeing that he was serious, Gu Suier naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately said seriously: "I try to remember it, but I will not be soft in the future. I will not easily agree to anything other people ask me."
Xiao Heng stared at her with a cautious look, but then asked, "Sui'er, do you like to be a queen, or do you like it when you were in the frontier?"
He suddenly had some doubts. He put her in this noble position. Does she really like it as he thought?
Gu Suier was also taken aback when she heard this. Since she became a queen, she has been busy every day, and she has never thought about whether she likes it or not.
She thought about it for a while, and then said: "I can't talk about what you like or dislike. Marry a chicken with a chicken and a dog with a dog. If you become the emperor, I will follow you as the queen. Since I am a queen, I will naturally do it. Good queen."
Xiao Heng is confined to his wife. He knows that she is soft-tempered and has always been pushed away by this world. She was pushed to his side and became his concubine. Step by step to today.
As far as the queen is concerned, she won't be too greedy, but she won't be bored either. She seems to have no opinion, but no matter where she is, she will abide by her duty and work hard to do what she can.
Gu Suier saw that Xiao Heng's eyes looked stranger than usual, but he was a little embarrassed by him, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor, what's wrong with this? How could I mess with you? I'm angry, I'm going to hit something again later!"
Her voice was soft, coquettish and somewhat mischievous.
Xiao Heng looked at her, and there was an indescribable feeling in his chest, soft and moving, wet and turbulent.
She has been with her for six years. In these six years, she gave birth to the naughty and clever Ah Chen, and the soft and lovely A Wan, and accompanied her through wars and famines. He reached the highest position in the world.
She is always working hard, thinking about what she can do for him.
But in fact, she didn't know that she didn't need her to do anything, she just needed to stay quietly beside her.
Xiao Heng concealed the ups and downs in his heart and rubbed Gu Suier's hair: "I won't be angry with you at will, I will only be angry with others. And--"
He thought about it, and then said, "You don't need to listen to what I just said."
"what?"
Gu Suier didn't understand at all, he, what did he mean? This is not like him!
Xiao Heng lowered his head, held Gu Suier's small face with his big hands, and said solemnly, "Do you know how to be a real queen?"
Gu Suier shook her head blankly, she was now dumbfounded by him.
Xiao Heng said word by word: "Just do what you want, don't care what others think, and don't care what others say. Because in this world, everyone except me is under you and should kneel in front of you. "
