1876 Chapter 1876-another one
Princess Jing He was the most favored Princess in the royal family. When she was still a Princess, she was very well liked by the Grand Empress Dowager.
Therefore, in addition to the princess’s marriage standard set by the Imperial court, her dowry also included the Grand Empress Dowager, Empress Jiang, Empress Xue, and the concubines of the emperor’s harem.
This time, other than the officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Grand Empress Dowager had also come personally. The person who had come with her was Princess Jinghe’s younger brother, the Crown Prince of the residence of King Kang.
“Great-grandma! It’s really you! When I saw uncle Shen, I was still wondering if you asked him to deliver the things or to personally escort you here. But it turns out that you came in person!” Gu Xin ran to the side of the carriage and reached out to support the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager, who was almost 80 years old, was no different from when she first met Gu Xin and the others a few years ago. It could be said that she was even younger.
Her eyes were bright and full of life. She was in a good mood when she saw her three great-granddaughters, especially Gu Xin.
She raised her hand and touched Gu Xin’s face, ” our little Xin Xin has grown up. She’s taller and slimmer! He must have suffered in the West.”
Gu Xin smiled and shook her head, ” Great-grandma, I’m now the most powerful Princess of our great Zhou Dynasty, even more powerful than sister Zhen! I’m happy and I’m not crying at all. If I lose weight, I can gain weight. Great-grandma, don’t feel bad for me!”
The Empress Dowager could not help but laugh,”hahahahaha, you little girl ..”
The sisters stood on the left and right of the Empress Dowager and followed her into the residence of Majesty Kang.
Majesty Kang and his wife, as well as Princess Jing He, received the news and hurriedly came out to welcome them. The dowry filled the courtyard.
Majesty Kang had the steward take the officials of the Ministry of Rites to rest at the courier station. If they wanted to stay at the Xue clan’s Inn, they could pay for it themselves.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites were extremely helpless. King Kang’s personality was really the same as it had been for decades. If you had been more generous, you could have just invited us with some polite words.
The manservant of the w.a.n.g Residence had also gone to the Gu residence to report that the Grand Empress Dowager had arrived.
Gu shouxin also asked Cai Xiaolian, Madam Zhang, and Madam yang to pack up and head to King Kang’s mansion.
Uncle Gu was still busy and was not in kun city. Fourth uncle Gu was also in Baiyu city and would only return in two days. Only Gu shouxin was not busy. He would only return to the capital in October to report to the Ministry of Rites. There was no need to hand over the matters of the Yamen to money and grain. Money and grain had been the acting Magistrate for half a year. In addition, Gu shouxin had deliberately trained him in the past two years, so he was very familiar with the Yamen.
Therefore, among the brothers, only Gu shouxin was idle.
After entering the residence of King Kang, the Empress Dowager listened to the girls talk about the West again. She was very happy as she listened to little princess Sarlin’s awkward great Zhou dialect introduction of the West.
When the children were done, she told her sisters about another matter.”Linlin was planning to come as well, so she came to take you home. However, before he left, he found out that she was pregnant, so he couldn’t come. Anyway, after Jinghe gets married, you’ll be returning to the capital, so I’m determined not to bring her along.”
The three Gu sisters were extremely surprised. The last time their third aunt gave birth to twins, she had said that three was enough. Two sons and one daughter. Just like her, they were protected by her brothers and treated like a Pearl in their palms!
They were going to be cousins again.
