I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 61: New Year

Soon, the Emperor appeared surrounded by everyone. The Emperor, who was still a youth walked in the middle. Next to him was Gu Hui Yan. Behind the two of them were many eunuchs wearing palace servant clothes.

Lin Wei Xi bowed deeply the moment she saw the Emperor. The beautiful lady had folded skirts, her head hanged slightly, and her long and graceful neck was especially obvious. Gu Hui Yan recognized Lin Wei Xi in the crowd at a glance. When he approached, the Emperor smiled and spread his hands: "Wangfei, please rise. Today Zhen come uninvited and disturbed Uncle Yan Wang. If still tiring Aunt Wang to make salutation, then Zhen is too much."

Lin Wei Xi lowered her head and said she didn't dare. Although the Emperor asked her to get up, she still saluted the Emperor properly, and then slowly stood up with the help of the maids.

Gu Hui Yan said: "The wind is strong at night, dare not let Your Majesty stand outside for too long. What words to say, let's say it inside."

The little Emperor agreed, and the group walked into the house. Before the Emperor came in, Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan were sitting above at the main seat. Now that the Emperor suddenly came, Lin Wei Xi certainly did not dare to let the Emperor take the second seat. She gave up her seat, and a maid had already moved a light armchair for Lin Wei Xi, and Lin Wei Xi sat down beside Gu Hui Yan.

Sitting in a small room were the top noble people under the sky, surrounded by gold and jade, the fragrance was curling up, the maids and palace envoy were standing upright, the servants were like clouds, everything looks grandeur, beautiful and bright. The little Emperor dressed in crimson plain clothes sat opposite Gu Hui Yan. Although Lin Wei Xi was sitting on a small chair, but she was leaning against Gu Hui Yan so her identity was obvious. The remaining Gu Cheng Yao, Gao Ran and others could only stand, and behind them, there were many more maids and servants.

After the host and guest took their seats one by one, the maids filed in, served hot tea with pastries, and then bowed their heads and held their breath to retreated, moving silently between them. After everyone was gone, the Emperor took the lead with a smile and said: "Uncle Wang have a reunion with aunt and Shizi. Zhen garrulously disturbed the reunion of Uncle Yan Wang with his family, really feel apologetic."

"Your Majesty's remarks are very wrong. Your Majesty honored us with your presence is making the Yan Wang Mansion flourish." Gu Hui Yan said.

The Emperor was now thirteen years old. He was between a man and a child, with a long neck and fair skin, looks young and tender and also energetic. He laughed after hearing Gu Hui Yan's words and said: "Uncle Yan Wang's words are too polite. In order of age Zhen and Shizi are still brothers from the same family. Uncle Wang doesn't dislike Zhen for coming uninvited and disturbing your family conversation is good. How can Zhen use the monarch and minister's ceremony to trouble Uncle Wang and Wangfei."

The Emperor's smile seemed clean and friendly. This was the privilege of children and young people, no matter what, it was difficult for people to feel disgusted. Gu Hui Yan nodded and smiled when he heard these words: "This is natural. Gu Cheng Yao has the luck to be a few years older than Your Majesty. He is honored that Your Majesty not abandon, and use brotherhoods to call each other. You are all of the same generation, maybe have more common topics to talk about. Whether reading or martial arts, if Your Majesty and him can exchange pointers, it will be a good deed."

The Emperor smiled more sincerely when he heard these words. Although Lin Wei Xi was sitting very close to the Emperor, she was sheltered under Gu Hui Yan's figure, and her sense of security doubled, if the Emperor have some hidden thoughts she didn't necessarily pick it up herself. Lin Wei Xi slowly pondered over the words of the Emperor and Gu Hui Yan just now. The two seemed to be talking about everyday things, but there were fine and subtle meanings in them, if not listened carefully it would really be impossible to figure out. The Emperor's visit to Yan Wang Mansion on New Year's Eve already had a lot of meaning, and just now he deliberately said that everyone was surnamed Gu and from the same family. Afterwards, Gu Hui Yan also responded to the hook thrown by the Emperor and pushed Gu Cheng Yao out. Gu Cheng Yao was a younger generation, and speaking with the same generation should be better than with Yan Wang himself.
