After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 477 Why not?

When Gu Yan heard this, his eyes widened.

"Grandpa, you actually remembered?"

Dad Gu's eyes were clear at this time, he nodded, and then said: "What a grandson, grandpa has remembered everything. This time I go back and take the exam. Don't be discouraged even if you don't pass. You will always be grandpa's good grandson."

The Gu family all gathered around. Niu Niu grabbed her grandfather's hand and asked, "Grandpa, do you still remember me?"

Father Gu laughed: "If grandpa forgets, no one will forget our sweet baby."

The Luo family's caravan was about to set off, and Gu Yan had no choice but to leave, but when he left, he turned back every step of the way and kept looking at Father Gu.

"Grandpa, now that you've woken up, can you go out alone in the future?" Niu Niu said enviously.

Like the children of the Gu family, Zhang Yuniang will never allow them to go out alone, so the children are particularly envious of adults who can go out on their own.

Before Father Gu responded, Mrs. Gu said directly: "No, who knows when you will become confused again. You must be accompanied by someone when you go out!"

Father Gu glanced at the old lady and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you out so that you won't be hit on the head by others in the future. I'll carry it for you."

The words were obviously meant to protect his wife, but when they came out of Father Gu's mouth, Mrs. Gu immediately jumped up in anger.

"It was an accident that time! I'm careful now! There will never be a second time!" Mrs. Gu said sharply.

Father Gu glanced at his wife and nodded slowly: "Oh."

But Mrs. Gu became even more angry because of this dull reaction.

Gu Mingda watched the old couple going back and forth, and couldn't help but feel sour eyes.

After Father Gu woke up, he actually didn't bring much change to the Gu family. It was just that his family was less worried about him and his hand movements when making wood carvings became faster.

The old man bought a lot of yellow rice and made two large tanks of yellow rice wine.

"The wine we made this time will be buried later, and when our Niuniu gets married, we can take it out and drink it again," said Mr. Gu.

His words made the Gu family feel a sudden shock, and they thought about the Queen Mother's proposal of marriage.

The days passed in such a blur until March, when Concubine Shun gave birth to a daughter safely in the palace without experiencing too many twists and turns.

This child was given a title as soon as she was born, and the emperor even offered a general amnesty for her.

Of course, even if there is a general amnesty, serious criminals like the Lin family and Mrs. Xie will not enjoy amnesty.

However, the Queen Mother suddenly sent someone to visit the Gu family. The person she sent was Nanny Sun. She was urging the Gu family to respond to the marriage as soon as possible.

"My dear, have you ever felt anything strange while you were in the palace during this time?" Zhang Yuniang asked.

Niuniu shook her head.

"Then what's different from before?" Gu Mingda asked from the side.

Niu Niu held her chin with her hands and looked thoughtful. After a while, the little girl said: "The emperor's uncle often comes to Shoukang Palace. I can see him every day at noon recently, but the Queen Mother doesn't seem to be very happy to see him. I went to him and kept asking him if the government affairs were finished? "

Zhang Yunniang frowned slightly and said, "That's strange. What mother doesn't want to see her son often?" She looked at Gu Mingda and asked, "Is there really not much government affairs in the spring?"

Gu Mingda shook his head: "There are always a lot of things happening in the spring. The adults in the court hardly have time to rest. I heard that many senior officials from the Sixth Department live in the Yamen."

Zhang Yunniang said: "Then this is really unreasonable. It's impossible for the elders to be busy, but His Majesty is not."

Gu Mingda vaguely felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out for the moment.

Zhang Yunniang didn't have such divergent thinking, and she didn't doubt the emperor's hidden intentions. She thought about it and asked Niu Niu: "The Queen Mother wants you to make an engagement with Li Xuan early. Do you like him?"

Niuniu didn't have much love between men and women in her heart, but she said: "I like brother Li Xuan! He is so kind to me. He always thinks of me when he has anything delicious and fun to do. If I must get married, I will marry him." He’s okay too.”

Zhang Yunniang frowned slightly: "Why did you marry him just to have something to eat?"

But Niu Niu said seriously: "But if you don't even think about having good food and fun, then you can't get married."

Zhang Yunniang didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt that it made sense but also didn't make sense.

"But you can't marry him just for a bite to eat..." Zhang Yunniang said weakly.

She always felt that Niu Niu should marry a better man. Maybe all mothers in the world were like this. She felt that no man in the world could be worthy of her darling.

But Niuniu said: "It's not just a mouthful, brother Li Xuan is also a very good person! Didn't you tell me that if you want to make friends, you should try to make friends with good character?"

Zhang Yunniang looked at Gu Mingda.

Gu Mingda nodded slightly and said, "Young Master Li Xuan is a rare person among the clan."

The children of the clan, because they were born into the royal family, are inevitably somewhat arrogant. Not only do they treat their subordinates casually, but they also don't have much respect for officials like Gu Mingda who are teachers.

Li Xuan is obviously an outlier among them.

If Gu Mingda were asked to choose one person among these children to be the future prince, he would definitely choose Li Xuan, not only because Li Xuan respected him, but more importantly because Li Xuan fit his imagination of the future monarch.

Li Xuan cares about the world, and he seems to be born with a kind of compassion for the people at the lowest level.

"The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important." This kind of thinking has become the ideal country in Gu Mingda's mind almost not long after he started studying.

He did not want this sentence to be just a declaration from the ruler's mouth, but also hoped that it could be actually realized.

In Li Xuan, Gu Mingda saw an unprecedented possibility.

Of course, Gu Mingda was willing to provide some help to Li Xuan in his fight for the crown prince position, but this did not mean that he was willing to pay for his daughter.

Niuniu looked at her parents with confusion at this time: "Brother Li Xuan is good to me, he has a good character, and his father also said that he is excellent, so why can't we marry him?"

Gu Mingda pursed his lips. Li Xuan was indeed good in everything, but his future might not be good.

"Good boy, don't you have to marry him?" Zhang Yunniang asked. She didn't want to have a dispute with her daughter, especially now that the two of them don't understand each other.

Niu Niu shook her head. The most important people in a little girl's heart are always her parents. She said, "I don't know, but I really like playing with him. If my father and mother think he is not good, then I will not do it in the future." Ignore him."
