age
Some ministers in the imperial court had strong objections to this, thinking that the young emperor who had just ascended the throne was too narrow-minded to tolerate his young brother.
Ci'er didn't bother to argue for this.
He didn't care about the murmurs of three or five ministers behind their backs.
In his opinion, to be an emperor, one must have a big picture.
If you can't even bear the infamy and argue with ministers, you will definitely suffer from it in the future.
In the third month after he ascended the throne, the young emperor discussed with his mother to bring back the imperial grandmother who was still recuperating in Sanhua Temple.
During the reign of the late Emperor, many ministers asked the Emperor to take the Queen Mother back to the palace. However, what the First Emperor did was too absurd. The ministers no longer expected that an emperor who did not even care about the affairs of the government would agree to take over a spiritual and capable emperor.
The empress dowager in question has returned to the palace.
Now that the young emperor had just ascended the throne and everything was still undecided, he proposed to take the imperial grandmother back to the palace, which greatly moved all the ministers and felt that they had indeed met a wise king with filial piety and kindness.
As for the fact that the little emperor "cannot tolerate" his younger brother, it was quickly ignored by people because of his filial piety to his elders.
Yingning had no objection to this.
Hua Ruoxi is just a poor person.
However, to her surprise, Gu Changyuan didn't care about this matter.
After coming back, he never went to Sanhua Temple to see Hua Ruoxi.
His childhood experiences made him have a weak relationship with Hua Ruoxi's mother and son. Later, Hua Ruoxi poisoned Gu Changyuan's father, and his feelings for Hua Ruoxi, his biological mother, became even more complicated.
It's not so much resentment as it is the inability to face it.
He would rather not see Hua Ruoxi for the rest of his life.
However, he did not object to Ci'er's intention to bring the imperial grandmother back.
According to what he said, now that Ci'er is the emperor and Hua Ruoxi is his grandmother who loves him, it is reasonable for him to bring his grandmother back. He should not object to this because of his own experience.
So Gu Ci chose an auspicious day and went to Sanhua Temple in person to take Hua Ruoxi back to the palace.
Now that she has been brought back, Ying Ning, as the daughter-in-law, still has to come out in person to greet the Empress Dowager.
As soon as they met, she was shocked by Hua Ruoxi's appearance.
After just a few years of not seeing each other, Hua Ruoxi has become very old.
In Ying Ning's impression, Hua Ruoxi, even in her thirties or forties, still looks like a girl in her twenties, with skin as smooth as cream and eyes as innocent as a clear spring.
How long has it been?
She actually had gray hair, a gray complexion, sunken eye sockets, and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
As the chief minister, Gu Changyuan led all the civil and military officials to stand by the road, looking at Hua Ruoxi's appearance with complicated eyes.
Gu Ci's eyes were red, and he said to Ying Ning: "Mother, when I saw the emperor's grandmother, I was also shocked. How did the emperor's grandmother become like this?"
Ying Ning sighed secretly and said gently: "Your imperial grandmother is probably too sad."
"I really regret it," Gu Ci whispered, "I should have brought the imperial grandmother back earlier. Even if I couldn't, I should have visited the imperial grandmother more often."
Ying Ning said: "Don't think about the past. Now that you have brought the imperial grandmother back, you should be filial to her and talk to her in the future."
"My son will definitely be filial to the royal grandmother."
Different from Gu Changyuan's feelings, Hua Ruoxi loves Gu Ci, her grandson.
After Yingning saluted, she stood up holding Jin Shu's hand and called out: "Mother."
