She agreed with this point very much. A living person could never win against a dead person.
Moreover, the previous Empress had died to save the Emperor. As long as the Emperor was not heartless, he would remember it for the rest of his life.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Zhou Ying left her a small amount of silver, 1,000 taels in total, and left the palace.
When she returned to the residence and found out that Mr. Gu was still around, she instructed the kitchen to add stewed pork ribs and steam a big yellow croaker for dinner before returning to her house.
Guoguo, who was pushing the baby walker, saw her enter. She immediately threw the baby walker aside and turned around. She stretched out her arm and shouted with an aggrieved expression. “Mom, hug.”
“Oh, who bullied our Guoguo?” Zhou Ying smiled and picked up the little troublemaker.
Don’t think that she didn’t know that when she wasn’t at home, Guoguo had eaten her fill, played well, and showed no signs of missing her.
“Guoguo.” Guoguo raised her head.
“You want to eat apples?” Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment. “I will get you some.”
“Mistress, this servant prepared it for her, but she spat it out after eating a mouthful.” Mrs. Lin pointed at the half-small bowl of apples that had been cut into small pieces.
Zhou Ying knew that she wanted to eat the soft snake fruit. She said to Mrs.
Lin, “You go down and rest for a while. I’ll feed her.”
“Yes, Mistress.” Mrs. Lin responded and walked out.
After she left, Zhou Ying took out a big red snake fruit. Guoguo’s eyes lit up immediately.
Zhou Ying carried the bowl and brought the fruit knife into the bedroom. She first ate all the fruits in the bowl, then cut half a snake fruit for Guoguo.
After eating, Guoguo went to sleep.
Zhou Ying was also tired, so she also took a nap.
At night, because of his ident.i.ty, Mr. Gu had dinner alone. After dinner, he came over and said, “Ying. I heard that Chengrui has been conferred the t.i.tle of Marquis An Le, right?”
“Yes, the Emperor conferred the t.i.tle last month because of the smallpox incident.”
“When you’re free, return to the village and let your uncle record it in the family tree.”
“Alright, but I’m afraid he’ll have to wait until next year. Chengrui is out of the capital this time to set up medical centers in various places. He won’t be back for a while.”
“You can come back whenever you want.
“I will leave early tomorrow morning, so I won’t be greeting you.”
“It’s not easy for you to come here. Why don’t you stay for two more days?”
“I have to make two more shipping trips before the new year. Otherwise, I won’t be able to do anything once the river freezes.”
“Alright, take care of yourself. I will get the kitchen to prepare some food for you in a while.”
“That’s fine. There’s no need for much. Just two meals will do.” Mr. Gu turned around and left after saying that.
Zhou Ying went to the kitchen and asked Chunxiang to make some sesame seed cakes for them.
She stewed a pot of pork and put a few eggs in it. After she was done, she put it into a small jar.
Then, she put the sesame seed cake into a basket.
At the same time, she also put some pears and apples into the basket and asked Niu Fugui to send them over. She also instructed Niu Fugui to send a carriage to the dock tomorrow.
After that, besides caring for her child, she would go to the restaurant for a walk. Her days were quite leisurely.
The Emperor’s days, on the other hand, were not good. Every day, he was forced by the ministers to hold a consort selection for a new Empress.
One day, the Emperor got really impatient. He stood up and said, “Are you going to marry a wife, or am I going to marry a wife? Don’t forget that the Empress died for me.
“She hasn’t even been dead for a hundred days, and do you want me to stop mourning for her?”
“Your Majesty.” When Grand Scholar Sun heard this, he immediately cried and knelt on the ground.
The Emperor’s eyes reddened, and he immediately went forward to help him up. “Father-in-law, please get up quickly. I’ve let you down. It’s all my fault..”
