I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 41: Emperor's Grace

The little emperor tilted his head slightly and looked at Lin Wei Xi with undisguised curiosity in his eyes.

The Emperor being curious was not necessarily a good thing, Lin Wei Xi's head lowered again, only revealing her slender neck. Gu Hui Yan glanced at Lin Wei Xi, and then said, "It's the family's wife."

The Emperor looked inquisitively a few more times before saying, "You may dispense the curtsey."

Lin Wei Xi stood up with everyone, and the Emperor stepped forward to salute Empress Dowager Qian. The Emperor and Yan Wang came together, and of course the seats had to be rearranged. Lin Wei Xi took this opportunity to walk to Gu Hui Yan's side, silently hiding under Yan Wang's imposing aura.

Gu Cheng Yao also followed Gu Hui Yan and the Emperor to visit the Empress Dowager. He saw Lin Wei Xi walking in his direction with her full makeup, but finally stopped at his front side and stood still.

Gu Hui Yan was wearing a black Qinwang python suit, Lin Wei Xi wore gorgeous red dress, Gu Hui Yan was tall and slender, and Lin Wei Xi was curvy. From the back, the two stood together in an unspeakable harmony.

Gu Cheng Yao had some inexplicable moods for some reason. Gao Ran saw Lin Wei Xi naturally walked to Yan Wang's side, she also could not be outdone and walked towards Gu Cheng Yao. After she stood beside him, she saw Gu Cheng Yao looked a little distracted, she couldn't help but whispered: "Shizi?"

Gu Cheng Yao woke up and saw Gao Ran looking at him with concern. Gu Cheng Yao smiled gently, and easily concealed his emotions, tried to appease Gao Ran with his eyes: "I'm fine. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are here, so I'll talk about it later."

Gao Ran naturally understood this reason, but when Gu Cheng Yao said this, she was a little unhappy for some reason. It seemed that in her expectations Gu Cheng Yao should not behave like this. Gao Ran wanted to let Gu Cheng Yao know how Lin Wei Xi acted with her mother-in-law's identity, how she deliberately intercepted her words, and how she slander her in front of Empress Dowager. But now, Gao Ran could only respond quietly, and then lowered her head to listen to the Emperor and Yan Wang talking.

The Emperor took the throne at the age of eight, and after five years, the Emperor would be thirteen after the New Year. The age of thirteen, could not be said old but could not be said young either, but in imperial family it was a sensitive age.

The earth dragon in Cining Palace burned very hotly, and the incense floating in the palace was warm like spring. It was a very comfortable environment, but in the room, only the Emperor and Gu Hui Yan were talking.

The other people didn't even dare to breathe loudly, bowed their heads and waited. Even Empress Dowager Qian just forego the small talk. She just sat on the side with a smile and nodded and answered one or two from time to time, but couldn't really intervene with the conversation. Lin Wei Xi just sat next to Gu Hui Yan with a bright smile on her face, but she was a little distracted.

Right now is the eleven month of Yuanjia's fifth year, the Emperor was already twelve years old. If she were still Shizi Consort of the previous life, she would certainly feel that the court was harmonious and the country was peaceful, but Lin Wei Xi had read that book of heaven, and she knew that the rest was not all smooth sailing.

Since he came to power, First Assistant Zhang had made drastic reforms, grasping all matters of the court political affairs, and also served as the Emperor's teacher, responsible for teaching the Emperor's benevolence, justice, and etiquette. For a court minister to reach this point, it could be said he was the best among scholar since the dawn of time. However, Lin Wei Xi learned from the book that in his life Zhang Xiao Lian had reached the highest official position, but near his death, it was inevitable like all ministers of the past he didn't end well, even the bones could not be saved. Later, there was even a wave of crusade against Zhang Xiao Lian, all the policies promoted by First Assistant Zhang were rejected, all the officials who opposed First Assistant Zhang would be called loyal and respectable people, even if the minister was actually just a cynical idiot.
