Traveling through time and space

"Mom, my second brother said that we can't leave your side, otherwise she will leave secretly again and we don't know when she will come back." Little Guoguo complained in a low voice. After hearing this, Gu Yuanyuan felt guilty, but it was only for a moment.

"Guoguo, mother is going to do great things. Think about it, if the people in the fiefdom have no food to eat and no houses to live in, then the court will be even more anxious. We should understand mother." Tuantuan explained patiently.

"Okay, our Tuan Tuan has the demeanor that a superior should have." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and there was a smile on his face. When the emperor smiled, the people in the room were also happy. The emperor looked at the three children and said, "You can go back home." Gu Yuanyuan stood up quickly as if liberated, saluted the emperor, and the children saluted as well. Gu Yuanyuan quickly took them out of the palace and returned to her own mansion. Everything was back to normal, but Gu Yuanyuan also made a decision not to be separated from the children for so long in the future. Gu Yuanyuan ordered that Xiao Maozi get a big bed in Bianyuan and clear out the yard next to it. Gu Yuanyuan wanted to make a toy yard for the children and tidy up the children's study. Gu Yuanyuan was going to buy a batch of suitable books and picture books for the children from the space. Although Gu Yuanyuan was also the number one mother, she would not let her children become nerds. Children must learn while having fun. The servants in the mansion came to pay their respects. Gu Yuanyuan looked at the princess's mansion, which had not changed much, and nodded with satisfaction. Soon, the housekeeper Chen came over again. It turned out that the reward from the palace had arrived. Gu Yuanyuan was stunned. This father had sent all the delicious food from the imperial kitchen to the princess's mansion. This reward was really ，你的父父手是哪家好。

It was quite lively. Gu Yuanyuan was lazy, so she would take the children out for a walk every day to avoid those annoying things. But what had to be faced still had to be faced. After dinner, she called the housekeeper Chen and the nanny Shang to come over to see who had sent New Year gifts to the princess's mansion. The legitimate princess's mansion should also return the gifts. Gu Yuanyuan specially prepared a generous gift for the eldest princess's mansion, including jewelry, fruits, and various supplements. The next day, Gu Yuanyuan took the children to the palace to give New Year gifts to their father. All the necessities were complete, including tea, various supplements, reading glasses, light clothes, and various things that the father liked to eat. Fruits, this time Gu Yuanyuan focused on practicality. After everyone met the emperor in the palace, he said that he wanted to eat the pistachios that he had given out before. Gu Yuanyuan waved her hand and gave him ten kilograms. Soon many concubines came. Although Gu Yuanyuan did not need to greet them, she still stood up. After all, they were the emperor's women. After they finished greeting, Gu Yuanyuan replied, "Hello, ladies." She saw many acquaintances, and of course there were newcomers. Gu Yuanyuan had been playing with the children these days since she came back, and had not asked if her father had a woman he liked now.

"Shan'er, come and meet your eldest imperial sister," after the servants paid their respects, a woman came forward holding a little girl in her arms. She put the little girl down. Gu Yuanyuan was a little surprised at how the child could be dressed like this. This was in the palace, and she was the emperor's daughter.

"This is Little Nineteen Gu Yushan, the sister given the name by the legitimate princess," introduced Concubine Qin, who was sitting on the left of her father.

Gu Yuanyuan nodded with a cold face. Why was the girl dressed so poorly? "Noble Lady Yue, you are here to see the emperor. Aren't you going to give Little Nineteen a good grooming? You bring her here like this. Aren't you afraid of offending the emperor?" Gu Yuanyuan asked mercilessly. She didn't like such women and she didn't like being used by others.

"Princess, I just came in a hurry and didn't dress Shan'er. I beg the emperor and princess to forgive me." Concubine Yue stepped forward and knelt to apologize. Gu Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly. This Concubine Yue was also a green tea. Gu Yuanyuan shook her head to deny herself. She shouldn't have released kindness to them and their mother. This Concubine Yue must have come to see her on purpose. The emperor waved his hand. Concubine Yue stood up, almost stumbling, and took out a jade hairpin. She casually inserted it into her daughter's head, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from the Sixth Prince's Mansion to this little sister. Look, it looks beautiful, right? This is the anniversary gift from the Sixth Prince's wife to Shan'er. She is thoughtful."

Gu Yuanyuan was too lazy to watch her acting. She was thinking about how to get out of this situation. Gu Yuanyuan was holding little Guoguo in her arms. After Gu Yuanyuan came back, the child had been sticking to her mother and would not leave her side. "Guoguo, are you hungry?" Gu Yuanyuan said a little loudly, "Mom is hungry, and the emperor hasn't brought us any food yet. He is going to starve us to death."

"Okay, okay, you have greeted me, and you can go back." It turned out that the emperor was also a little impatient. Gu Yuanyuan counted and found that there were seven people coming this time, three of them with children, and two of them were still lingering and did not leave the door after everyone else had greeted and left.

"Princess Qin, what else is there?" The emperor also saw through their intentions.

The two turned around and walked a few steps inside again. Gu Yuanyuan remembered that they were from Yue'an Palace.

Concubine Qin and Concubine Rou of Huiyuxuan are the ones who are currently managing the harem.

"Your Majesty, would the Third Prince Gu Ruoxu like to attend the family dinner on New Year's Eve?" Concubine Rou asked carefully.

"No need, let everyone be quiet." The emperor was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, but soon became gloomy again. He looked up at the two of them, then at Gu Yuanyuan. Gu Yuanyuan understood what he meant and shook her head, "You guys go back." The emperor didn't see Eunuch Shen, so he knew he had gone out to prepare, "Why don't you serve the meal yet?" Then the people serving the dishes came in one after another, and the table was full of delicious food.

"Father, the women in this harem are all extraordinary."

"Yes, Father is tired and doesn't want to worry anymore. All of them are giving me a lot of worry." Looking at the three children sitting down and eating by themselves, he said, "None of them are as sensible as our Tuantuan.

Gu Yuanyuan didn't respond. These were all his sons, so it was hard for others to say anything. "This year, you haven't spent a penny from the court, yet you've managed your fiefdom in perfect order. The court has received reports that several prefecture governors have praised you, the legitimate princess, as a fairy. Father is very satisfied."

"Father, are you just satisfied that Yuanyuan didn't use the court's money? How stingy," Gu Yuanyuan joked.

"Yes, Father wants to give all the money to us, Xiao Guoguo, to buy delicious food."

"Grandfather." Upon hearing her name mentioned, Xiao Guoguo put down her chopsticks, stood up from her seat, and walked to her father's side. "This is for you."

"Grandfather, Yuanyuan also brought you some delicious food."

A touching scene for Gu Yuanyuan and the Emperor. The three children took out delicious treats from their pockets and placed them in front of their grandfather. Guoguo's was candy corn, a reward from Gu Yuanyuan the day before yesterday. Tuantuan's was donkey rolls that they had made at home yesterday. And Yuanyuan's was a little swallow that Gu Yuanyuan had taught them to fold together that day. "Father, the children all remember how kind the Emperor was to them." Gu Yuanyuan was deeply moved. He felt that his children were all righteous. "Children, the Emperor is the only relative left to Mother. You must treat the Emperor well too."

"Mom, everyone else has a father, but where is our father?" Xiao Yuanzi's question made Gu Yuanyuan tearful.

"Your father, the King, was our Qingyang's God of War and our great hero. He's gone, gone to a very, very far place, and won't be back for the time being."

"Mother, our father is dead and will never come back."

"Tuantuan, who told you this?" There was a hint of anger in the emperor's voice.

"It was Princess Ru. She said that she overheard what her mother and Brother Yuchen said, and she also said that we should not let Brother Yuchen play with us in the future." Yuanyuan rushed to speak.

"Alright, alright," Gu Yuanyuan watched her father's expression change from bright to gloomy, and quickly tried to smooth things over. "Children, hurry up and eat. Mother said that when we get home later, she'll teach you how to make dumplings. We have to give them to Grandfather the Emperor as breakfast tomorrow."

After being reminded, the three children quickly took a few bites and put down their chopsticks. "Mom, we're done eating. Let's go back home and do some work." The three of them left their seats at the same time.

"Okay, okay, go back and play."

"Grandmother, Mother taught us how to play. It's so much fun. Would Grandfather like to play with us?"

"No, your royal grandfather is the emperor, how can he leave the palace?" Tuantuan stepped forward to stop him.

"Father, after the Imperial Academy reopens after the New Year, Yuanyuan will bring the children back to live in the palace. But father, can you also give Yuanyuan the palace in Yuanfu Palace? Yuanyuan wants to live in Yuanfu Palace with the children.

"Okay, Father will clear out everything next to Yuanfu Palace and give it to you."

"Your Majesty, in the past two days before the New Year, Yuanyuan wants to take the children to see their grandmother and the prince, and let the children go to see them as well." The emperor nodded.

"Children, don't waste the dumplings we made today. Tomorrow your mother will take you to see

Your father, the king, and your great-grandmother, your mother's grandmother, bring the treats you made yourself to make them happy too." Gu Yuanyuan stopped the three of them from fighting.

"I see, mother, is our father dead?"

"Tuan Tuan, your father is the God of War of Qingyang, a great hero. Although he is dead, there are still many people who will miss him. In the future, you must also be good people, learn from your father, be a good person, and be someone who contributes to our Qingyang." After a bunch of words, Gu Yuanyuan realized that she also wanted her children to become successful. She started preaching and laughed at herself. Didn't she want to give the children a beautiful childhood? Why did she always let the children do this and that? The next day, Gu Yuanyuan took the children to Zhao Zimo's house.

In front of the tomb, Gu Yuanyuan had someone put mats in front of the tomb. After the children paid their respects, they sat on the mats. Gu Yuanyuan took out three kites and asked them to fly them for fun.

"Mom, can we play here?" Tuantuan stood up and asked hesitantly.

"Yes, you can play here and spend some quality time with your father. Let him know that we are doing well."

"Mother, my adoptive father told us to remember our father, the king."

"Godfather, where did you get your godfather? How come mother doesn't know?"

"Mother, when we were in the palace, our adoptive father would often come to Yuanfu Palace to play with us." Xiao Guoguo talked a lot, but Gu Yuanyuan still couldn't tell who their adoptive father was.

"Little Maozi, take them out to play and watch them carefully. Aunt Shang, come over and talk to them." Gu Yuanyuan finally remembered to ask about the children's schooling.

"Princess," Gu Yuanyuan gestured for her to sit on a small stool and talk. Gu Yuanyuan asked in detail about the children's affairs this year. Nanny Shang also said a lot. The children are now studying at the Imperial Academy, but not with others. It was their father who found four children of similar age to the children. One of them is Princess Ru, another is the daughter of one of the emperor's younger brothers, and two boys. But later there were only three little princes left, because those children could not keep up with the pace of their own children. These three children of their own can be called child prodigies. "Nanny Shang said it with great pride, and she was honored. Listening to her, Gu Yuanyuan also knew the general situation of the children this year, and who their adoptive father was. It was that Lord Fu. It was their father who suggested that he be the children's adoptive father. When they were not in school, Lord Fu would take the children out to play. This year, Fu Siyuan, the adoptive father, was also very responsible. He would accompany the children to the farm to ride horses and grow vegetables every few days, and would also play with the children. In fact, Gu Yuanyuan also knew that the father was indispensable in the children's hearts. , but she hadn't planned to find them a father yet. The next day, Gu Yuanyuan took the children to play in front of their grandmother's tomb for a short day. After returning home, the palace's rewards arrived again. They were all children's supplies, of course, all new. Gu Yuanyuan herself had a lot of clothes and accessories too. Last time it was food, now it was clothes. Gu Yuanyuan was a little speechless. Didn't the emperor know? I don't lack anything. The next day, Gu Yuanyuan went to the palace again and left a room full of things for her father: milk, malted milk, fruit, and other food. But after Gu Yuanyuan and the children returned home, the palace sent another decree, sending another large amount of things, including clothes, formal clothes for the princess and the young prince, ordering the princess and the princes to dress neatly and enter the palace to participate in the New Year's greetings.

Gu Yuanyuan was a little confused, but after getting up early the next day, she received New Year's greetings from the people in the mansion and gave them red envelopes. Then she put on the uniform of the legitimate princess and of course took the children to dress in the formal attire of the prince. Then they entered the palace together. After entering the palace, they were filled with joy along the way. Gu Yuanyuan gave red envelopes to everyone one by one, and everyone knelt to thank them. Gu Yuanyuan and her group asked the little eunuch to lead the way to Zhi'en Hall. Gu Yuanyuan's heart was beating fast, and she felt like something was going to happen. She unconsciously clenched the little hands in her hands.

"Mom," Xiao Guoguo gritted his teeth in pain.
