Chapter 227 Something happened
Chapter 227 Something happened
Before daybreak, it was already bustling outside.
Pei Xu had expected this to happen, so he lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but did not wake up Gu Jiaorong.
Gu Jiaorong doesn't need to worry about these little things, he can handle them all by himself.
Gu Jiaorong didn't like to get involved in these things, and Pei Xu didn't want Gu Jiaorong to see his cruel side.
Just like he killed hundreds of officials, Gu Jiaorong was kept in the dark and had no idea about it.
He hoped that in Gu Jiaorong's eyes, he was a gentle person.
Even if he didn't behave like this before, if he is too strong in front of his partner, it is easy to push his partner away.
Pei Xu understood this principle, and Gu Jiaorong also understood it.
Therefore, Gu Jiaorong never asked about court affairs, but fulfilled her duties as a wife and stayed by his side silently.
Pei Xu is a capable man and does not need a virtuous wife.
Gu Jiaorong knew this when she was reading the book. Although he and the heroine were evenly matched, he was always on guard against her.
Although love lingers between them, there are also power and struggle beyond love.
However, novels always give people a happy ending. No one knows what happens to the protagonists after the ending of the novel?
If it were in the past, Gu Jiaorong would not have thought too much about it, but after she came to this world and became Pei Xu's close friend, she had to think more about it.
People often say that serving a king is like serving a tiger, and Gu Jiaorong always keeps this in mind.
After Pei Xu got up, Gu Jiaorong opened her eyes.
She knew that Pei Xu got up at this time, something must have happened, and this matter was also within his calculations, so she did not ask.
"Peony, what time is it?"
Gu Jiaorong called out, and Shaoyao came over.
"My lady, it's still early. You can sleep a little longer."
Shaoyao knew she had to calculate the time to pick up the Crown Prince and the little princess, so she said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry about the princess and the Crown Prince. I will keep an eye on the time and wake you up when it's time."
Although she didn't know why the Empress suddenly woke up, she didn't ask too much. After being with Gu Jiaorong for so long, she knew what to say and what not to say.
Gu Jiaorong was indeed still a little sleepy. She yawned and lay back down.
"Then you must remember to call me. Nian Nian and Sui Sui haven't seen me for two days. They must miss me very much. When I sent them to the Queen Mother, I also told them that I would pick them up early."
Gu Jiaorong knew that children couldn't understand promises now, but she still hoped to fulfill every promise she made to them.
When she decided to have children, Gu Jiaorong treated them as independent individuals rather than children attached to her.
Although Gu Jiaorong cannot be a perfect mother, she cannot completely ignore her child's feelings.
"Don't worry, Madam. I've kept this in mind."
Shaoyao knew that the prince and princess rarely left Gu Jiaorong, so she understood what she said.
Gu Jiaorong felt relieved when she saw Shaoyao's repeated assurances.
The feeling of forced startup is really uncomfortable.
She lay back on the bed, closed her eyes again, and soon fell asleep.
Shaoyao left quietly so as not to disturb her rest.
When Gu Jiaorong opened her eyes again, she saw Nianniansuisui sleeping next to her. She knew who did this without much thought.
She looked around but didn't see Pei Xu. She thought that he had come back and left again.
Gu Jiaorong ignored him and turned her attention to the two children.
"You two lazy little pigs, the sun is already shining on your butts, and you still don't get up."
She herself didn't get up, but now she has the nerve to say that the children are lazy.
Fortunately, there was no one else around, so no one knew about her double standards.
But the children seemed to hear her voice, slowly opened their eyes, and looked at her with a warm smile.
It must be said that a worry-free child is easy to take care of. If Nianniansuisui cried and made a fuss every day, Gu Jiaorong would probably find it difficult to have the patience.
Although Gu Jiaorong's love for them will not diminish, it is difficult for her to be gentle when she lacks patience.
Now the two children cannot walk yet. When they see her, they can only smile and stretch out their little hands for her to hold them.
When the twins looked at her at the same time, her heart melted.
She stretched out her arms and hugged the two children in her arms, her face full of happiness, but her arms felt a little sore after holding them for a long time.
This is probably the sweet trouble.
Even though Gu Jiaorong felt tired, she did not give up on them.
Shaoyao heard the noise and came in.
"Your Majesty is awake. Please wash up first. I will have someone bring breakfast."
Shaoyao glanced at Gu Jiaorong and the prince and princess on the bed. They were all well-behaved and there was no problem, so she felt relieved.
When His Majesty brought the little princess and the little prince back, she was actually still a little worried. After all, she couldn't look after the children while she was asleep.
But now it seems that His Majesty understands the Queen and the two young masters better.
"Okay." Gu Jiaorong was having a comfortable nap, so she nodded in a very polite manner.
Gu Jiaorong no longer had to go out to see anyone, so she packed up quickly and sat down at the dining table, while Shaoyao helped her look after the two children.
"When did His Majesty return today?"
Gu Jiaorong chatted with Shaoyao while eating. She has never had so many rules.
"His Majesty returned just after dawn, but he sat for a while before leaving again. When he returned, he was holding the little prince and princess."
There was no need for Shaoyao to tell her the rest, as Gu Jiaorong knew it too.
Pei Xu knew that she was worried about the child, so after sending the child back, he left again.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't have time to eat with us at noon today. The weather hasn't been warm enough in the past two days. Why don't we have a hot pot for lunch?"
Gu Jiaorong hadn't eaten hotpot for a long time and was really craving it.
Shaoyao didn't have any thoughts about this. She knew that the queen was a foodie. When they were in the palace, they would think about what to eat when they had nothing to do.
"Okay, I'll tell the imperial kitchen to prepare more dishes."
Shaoyao smiled and nodded, "But Your Majesty still can't eat anything too spicy now. You have to wait a while."
Although Gu Jiaorong's delivery went smoothly and she didn't have any underlying illness, Chu Fenghua told her to be careful with her diet and not to eat or drink anything without permission.
Although Gu Jiaorong did not understand the ancient health-preserving methods, she did not refuse.
She is not a person who likes spicy food, she just thinks hot pot tastes better when it is spicy.
"Okay." Gu Jiaorong nodded and began to eat seriously.
Although I have already thought about what to eat for lunch, I still have to eat a good breakfast.
The two children were very well behaved and didn't make any noise while Gu Jiaorong was eating, which was very good.
