1074 How good would it be if she was a man
After the Emperor received the letter and looked at the salt stone presented, he immediately ordered people to cook it with the method in Gu shouxin’s letter.
Fine, the fine salt was out.
He took a bag of fine salt to find the Grand Empress Dowager.
When the Grand Empress Dowager heard this, she thought, Oh, her great-granddaughter had made a contribution again. Good, very good, very good.
She didn’t regret her son going to kun city with his family anymore.
After some discussion, the two of them decided to give Gu Xin the t.i.tle of Princess Rou Xuan. After the morning court session the next day, the Ministry of Revenue personnel brought the Imperial edict to kun city that night.
Salt belonged to the People’s livelihood, and many of the matters that concerned the People’s livelihood were managed by the Ministry of Revenue.
After the incident with King qu, the Emperor had already messed with many of King Qu’s men. Now, there were quite a number of them who were loyal to him. A small number of them who were disloyal were also under his control.
After the Imperial edict was taken out, the Emperor came to the Grand Empress Dowager’s place to freeload a meal. The Grand Empress Dowager immediately ordered her people to cook in the small kitchen with the salt from the salt rocks brought from kun province.
It was quite good.
The two of them chatted about their daily lives and then talked about the daughters of the Gu family.
The two of them talked about Gu Nian most.
The Emperor wanted to pair Xue Qianyu and Gu Nian, but the Empress Dowager told him to give up and let the Gu family’s children decide on their own marriage.
The Emperor was unhappy and wanted to make his own decision? He had almost married niannian to li Muyan!
In the emperor’s heart, li Muyan was not as good as Xue Qianyu. Of course, in his heart, Xue Qianyu was the best among the children of his age. Even Lu Zheng could not compare to him. He had watched Xue Qianyu grow up. Since he was ten years old, he had come to look for his uncle to support him. He had absolute trust in Him!
The Empress Dowager laughed. then you told me that you wanted to compete with Lu Zhenyuan. You wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h his wife!
The Emperor,”hehe.”
He touched his nose, feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
He did like Zhou Jiayu, who was Lu Zheng’s mother, back then.
However, at that time, he had not reached the age to get married. He only felt that a woman like that would not be able to follow that silly Lu Zhenyuan.
However, that was a love he had when he was young. After Zhou Jiayu got married and had children, and Empress Xue appeared by his side when she grew up, he didn’t think too much about it.
So, what the Empress Dowager meant was that Gu Nian’s feelings for li Muyan were probably the same as the emperor’s feelings for Zhou Jiayu.
The Empress Dowager even a.n.a.lyzed the emperor’s situation. The reason why Gu Nian liked li Muyan was that Gu Nian liked to create new things, and Li Muyan liked them too. They had a common interest and a common topic.
It was a pity that life couldn’t go on just with common interests and topics.
The Emperor said gloomily,”although niannian is my niece, I also like her very much.” But when I think about how she almost married li Muyan, I feel that Xue Xiao ‘er has suffered a loss. I’ve watched Xue Er grow up and he’s never been moved by any girl. His heart is blank!”
Grand Empress Dowager glared at him, saying that the children’s matters should be settled by themselves. You feel that the second child is at a loss, then what about the second child himself? When it came to relations.h.i.+ps, no one would lose or gain.
She even scolded the Emperor, telling him not to think about such trivial things and to focus on serious matters and pay attention to the situation in the southern border.
Last time, it was Gu Nian who had reminded Yan Mo about meojiao. Fortunately, he had known about it in advance. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble it would have caused.
Speaking of Yan Mo, the Emperor felt that Xue Qianyu had suffered a loss. He remembered that Gu Nian seemed to have liked Yan Mo.
He held his forehead and sighed. If only Gu Nian was a man, he could just make the decision and give her everything she liked!
