Chapter 15: “Menstrual Period”
“Mu Jiulu, am I going to die?” …
Gu Sui, who didn’t manage to hold her hand but ended up embracing her, slept happily that night and even had a beautiful dream.
Time seemed to have gone back to the stage before they broke up. Their cozy little house was filled with their photos.
After dark, the two of them, dressed in fluffy pajamas, would cuddle together on the sofa, eating snacks and watching movies, without worries or anxieties.
He held her in his arms, while the blue-eyed white cat jumped back and forth restlessly on their laps, only to be impatiently scooped up into her embrace.
Milky meows emerged as he gleefully reached into her arms to pet the cat, occasionally kissing her cheek.
She glanced at him, her eyes both disdainful and indulgent. He then took advantage of the situation and kissed her several times in a row before stopping.
…
When Gu Sui woke up, he remained motionless, carefully savoring this dream.
The noble and aloof Mu Jiulu, dressed in fluffy clothes, had a inexplicable contrast that was adorable.
Unfortunately, this scene only ever appeared in dreams.
Alas, he had originally thought her picky and controlling behavior was due to a princess syndrome, but it turned out she was a real queen.
But so what? His grand ambition to marry Mu Jiulu would never change.
Having reminisced enough, Gu Sui crawled out of bed and gave himself a pep talk.
Go for it, you can do it!
After having breakfast with Li Fuyu, Gu Sui, who had only rested for a short while, received a summons from the palace.
But this time it wasn’t Yongning Palace, but Cining Palace.
Gu Sui: “……”
Don’t tell me this family still hasn’t given up!
He really had no interest in the ten-year-old little emperor!
Although reluctant, the palace servant who came to fetch him was waiting outside the door, so he had no choice but to go.
Seeing this, Li Fuyu wanted to go with him, but the Cining Palace servant said with a smile.
“County Lord, please don’t take offense. The Empress Dowager has only summoned Sir Gu alone.”
The Regent said yesterday that he would confer the title of County Lord on Li Fuyu, and today the imperial edict was issued with astonishing speed.
“Alright then. Brother Sui, don’t worry. The Empress Dowager is different from the others in the palace. He is kind and easy to get along with.”
Despite Li Fuyu’s reassurance, Gu Sui still lacked energy when he entered the palace. As soon as he got into the carriage, he slumped in the corner, too lazy to move.
In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was having breakfast. There were not many people waiting on him, and he even personally served a bowl of bird’s nest congee to the person sitting opposite him.
“Ninth Princess, you’ve worked hard for a long time. Today you finally have a day off, so nourish yourself well.”
Mu Jiulu took it, her expression much gentler than usual.
“Your Majesty is too kind.”
“Ninth Princess, I have been chanting scriptures for your elder sister this past year, neglecting Huan’er and allowing her to hear rumors that made her misunderstand you. Ninth Princess, please don’t take offense.”
Mu Jiulu stirred the bowl of bird’s nest congee. Upon hearing this, she hooked her lips indifferently.
“Is that so?”
The Empress Dowager seemed to have something to say but hesitated.
She couldn’t possibly be unaware of Huan’er’s wariness towards her, yet why was she pretending not to understand?
“I don’t know much about your court affairs, nor do I want to interfere. But Ninth Princess, Huan’er is sensitive. When you teach her, you can be more straightforward to avoid her overthinking.”
He said gently. Mu Jiulu raised her eyebrows, her eyes deep and unfathomable.
“She needs pressure.”
The Empress Dowager was taken aback for a moment, then heard Mu Jiulu continue.
“Your Majesty, I understand your fatherly love, but Huan’er is the emperor. Comfort cannot allow her to sit in that position for long.”
“But… she’s only ten years old. There’s no need to be so impatient. Besides, this is also detrimental to your own reputation. Why bother?”
A figure flashed through Mu Jiulu’s eyes. She said earnestly.
“What I care about is not reputation, but time.”
“What do you mean?”
“I will do what I promised my elder sister, but after that, I want to have my own life.”
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, seeming to understand something.
“Forget it. As long as you have discretion, that’s fine. As for Huan’er, I will take better care of her in the future to prevent her from being misled.”
Mu Jiulu nodded slightly, her voice filled with respect.
“My elder sister was fortunate to have married a proper husband like you.”
The Empress Dowager waved his hand modestly. The two chatted idly as they finished their breakfast.
After the meal, the palace servants presented hot tea. The Empress Dowager used a cup to skim off the foam and suddenly spoke.
“Speaking of which, your marriage has been delayed for many years. I heard that you recently caught Gu Suizhi’s embroidered ball?”
