Grandma Gu’s spirit rested for seven days before she was buried. She was buried in the ancestral grave of the Gu family. These were all things she and Gu Jian had discussed long ago.

After Grandma Gu was buried, Mrs. Yan was ready to return to Ningmen Mansion with Yan Zhigao, Mrs. Li, and Yan Wenxiu.

Now that Sister Gu is gone, it will be hard for her to stay in Taohua Temple any longer.

But Daohua and Xiao Yeyang stayed. One of them wanted to keep their filial piety, and the other was because they couldn't worry about Gu Jian.

"Mom, dad, why don't I stay here too? It's hard for my eldest sister to stay here alone."

On the way to the ferry, Yan Wenxiu, who was kept in the dark, looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang walking side by side behind him with an uneasy expression.

Yan Zhigao glanced at Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan shook her head: "Master Gu has a strange temper. He definitely doesn't want to see outsiders at this time. Wen Xiu should go back with us."

Yan Wenxiu didn't expect his grandmother to say that. He didn't believe that she didn't understand what he meant. Letting the eldest sister stay alone with Yeyang would be bad for her reputation.

Seeing what the eldest son wanted to say, Yan Zhigao said directly: "Okay, listen to your grandmother."

Yan Wenxiu frowned, with more and more questions in his mind.

My father put down his official duties and stayed here. Together with his mother and grandmother, he personally kept the ghost of the ancient mother-in-law for seven days without taking any clothes off.

This made him confused.

Although Master Gu is the eldest sister's master and Granny Gu can be considered a relative, it is enough for their family to pay homage to her, and there is no need to keep a vigil in person.

Now, I know that letting my eldest sister stay with Ye Yang will harm her reputation, but my grandmother, father, and mother don't stop her.

This is so abnormal.

Soon, the group arrived at the ferry.

Mrs. Li pulled Daohua: "Take good care of your master, and if anything happens, send someone to inform the family."

Daohua nodded: "Mom, I know."

Mrs. Li looked at Xiao Yeyang again, but hesitated to speak. She still couldn't digest the fact that the other party was her son-in-law.

When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he took the initiative to ask: "Auntie, what are your instructions to Yeyang?" The attitude was very respectful.

Mrs. Li: "...take good care of the rice flowers."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, I can do it." After saying that, he looked at Yan Zhigao and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you have any instructions?"

Yan Zhigao was also unable to adapt to the change in status for a while. Thinking that he was Xiao Yeyang's father-in-law now, he sullenly shook his head pretending to be dignified.

Yan Wenxiu stood aside and watched silently, feeling that these people were very weird.

After Mrs. Yan gave Daohua a few words, everyone boarded the ship and left.

Watching the boat go away, Xiao Yeyangcai and Daohua turned around and returned to Taohua Temple.

......

On the boat, Yan Wenxiu looked at the closed door and wanted to knock on it, but he gave up after enduring it.

His grandmother and parents didn't want to call him because they didn't want him to know about something. In this case, it was hard for him to forcefully ask. Thinking of this, he went to the deck.

In the room, Mrs. Yan handed over the dragon-shaped jade pendant given by Gu Jian to Mrs. Li: "You should keep this token."

Mrs. Li took the jade pendant, looked at Mrs. Yan and Yan Zhigao, and said uncertainly: "Is this the marriage between our daughter and the young prince decided?"

Looking at the jade pendant, Yan Zhigao felt very complicated. The eldest daughter's luck... He really couldn't help but sigh, "That's great." He saved someone casually, but he actually saved the emperor's mother.

"I've bowed before the ancient... old lady, so it's natural that it's settled." After saying that, he motioned to Madam Li to put the jade pendant away.

Mrs. Li felt that this jade pendant was a bit hot, and she felt very complicated. On the one hand, she was happy that her daughter had a good home. She had watched the young prince grow up, and his character and appearance were beyond words. He was also on good terms with Wen Kai and Wen Tao.

, in the future, even because of the friendship with the Yan family over the years, I will treat my daughter well.

But on the other hand, she was a little worried. Where was the identity of the young prince? His daughter married into the royal family, a proper high marriage. It was not easy to be a royal wife. If her daughter was wronged in the future, they would not be able to intervene.<

/p>

Mrs. Yan added: "It's good that we know the identities of Sister Gu and Master Gu, and don't tell others. And the marriage between Daohua and Yeyang must be made public by the royal family before it can be justified.

”

Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li nodded seriously.

When she returned to Yan Mansion that day, Mrs. Li ordered the housekeeper to remove all the bright things in the mansion, and informed the concierge that all invitations to banquets would be rejected.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t know Grandma Gu’s identity. If she knows, then their family must abide by the rules.

According to regulations, when the queen mother or concubine dies, officials must observe the holiday for three months.

After arranging the house, Mrs. Li took a break and took a sip of tea. Thinking that her daughter had paid homage to Xiao Yeyang, she felt a little mixed in her heart. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

She gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Who would have thought that she could not get involved in the marriages of the three of them.

......

At the same time, the capital and the imperial palace.

After the emperor learned of the death of the ancient mother-in-law, he locked himself in Qianqing Palace and did not go to court for three consecutive days.

In an instant, the court was full of rumors that the emperor was injured and was seriously ill.

Several older princes in the branch office became more active and began to make friends with ministers.

Eunuch An looked at the princes who came to inquire about the news with fear, and felt a cold sweat in his heart for them.

On the fourth day, the emperor went to court.

When the officials and the princes who had received the errands saw that the emperor's expression was really bad, their expressions couldn't help but change.

The emperor saw the expressions of everyone below, and the coldness in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

At the subsequent court meeting, the emperor scolded several officials and vented some of his frustration.

However, after going to court, the emperor saw his wife going to Cining Palace to pay her respects, and the anger in his heart burned again.

His biological mother passed away, and only the Yan family went to pay condolences, but the Empress Dowager Jiang could accept greetings from her mother-in-law every month. At this moment, the emperor's hatred for the Jiang family reached its peak.

Especially when I think that as an emperor, I cannot blatantly protect my mother, I am even more annoyed.

After a period of time, both ministers and concubines found that the emperor's temper was getting more and more irritable. Whenever an official held a wedding banquet at his home or the concubine wore red or green, he would be severely scolded.

The fifth prince, who was planning to get married on February 20th, was directly canceled by the emperor. After that, several officials were demoted and several concubines were demoted.

Although the officials and concubines were a little confused about this, they still had the discernment to restrain their own behavior.

After all, the emperor's preference is everyone's preference, and no one wants to get into trouble.
