My wife is weirder than the last

"Okay." Yu Gan could only stand up.
Seeing Concubine Wei walking directly ahead, Yu Gan grabbed Li Nianxiang's wrist and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation now? Why are you going to see the Queen Mother again?"
"I don't know, but see you soon. Why are you so nervous?" Li Nianxiang looked at Yu Gan strangely.
"It's not that I'm nervous." Yu Gan shook his head and asked, "What kind of temperament is this queen mother? I haven't seen her before."
"Don't worry about this, the Queen Mother is fine." Li Nianxiang smiled happily.
"Are you familiar with the Queen Mother?" Yu Gan asked.
"Yeah. When I was young, I often went to the Queen Mother's bedroom to play." Li Nianxiang replied.
A smile suddenly appeared on Yu Gan's face, "Then we must go, let's go for a walk, we must be filial to the old queen mother."
Li Nianxiang asked, "Why are you so happy now?"
"I respect the old and love the young." Yu Gan explained.
Of course, the inner reasons are naturally not easy to reveal.The Empress Dowager is the mother of today's son. This honor and power are far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
How good it is to have a good relationship with such an old man, and show your face, anyway, it's not a loss.
Li Nianxiang naturally didn't know that Yu Gan had the idea of watching people order food, so he didn't think too much about following Wei Guifei all the way to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
The empress dowager's bedroom is deep in the palace, and the old man likes to be quiet, especially after getting old.
She usually lives deep in her bedroom, not caring about the affairs of the harem, let alone the affairs of the court.Eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name every day makes me feel peaceful.
Speaking of it, she can be regarded as a relatively special existence among the empress dowagers of the Daqi Dynasty.
In addition, the empress dowager is the mistress of the country, so she has the right to speak in the harem, and she usually supports the "justice" of the harem.
After all, the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, and there are very few queen mothers who are so willing to let go of everything.
Of course, just because people don't care about things doesn't mean they don't pay attention.
The emperor Li Xun is famous for his filial piety, and he will come to pay his respects every night, rain or shine.
It is said that he especially likes to chat with the queen mother about some important national affairs. Although the old man only listens but does not talk, there are rumors outside that many things are actually the final decisions made by the emperor after consulting the queen mother.
I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know who spread the rumor.
But it doesn't matter.
Therefore, although the empress dowager of Daqi lived in the inner palace and rarely appeared in people's sights, none of the courtiers dared to underestimate the existence of the empress dowager.
Walking on the road, Yu Gan asked some basic information about the Queen Mother in a low voice all the way. He didn't have a thorough understanding, but he still had a vague idea.
The queen mother's surname is Li, which can be regarded as a common surname of a family in the Central Plains.When the first emperor was still the crown prince, she was the concubine. It can be said that she has many years of experience as the "leader in the harem".
It shouldn't be a big problem if you talk more pleasantly.
Soon, Concubine Wei took Yu Gan and the two to the Queen Mother's residence.
A palace called King Palace.
The decoration is extremely simple and unpretentious, the whole body is light cyan, and the appearance is basically not decorated.Compared with other palaces in the palace, it does look rather inconspicuous.
There are two towering ginkgo trees standing at the gate of the Jing Palace, and there are many other flowers and trees that I don't know. Some spirit birds perch on the trees, and occasionally there are crisp birdsong.
The entire Jing Palace is not like a palace in the imperial palace, but more like the one hidden in the mountains.
There were two young eunuchs waiting at the gate of the palace, Concubine Wei went up to say something softly, and one of the young eunuchs went in to report respectfully.
Soon, he turned back and brought Yu Gan and the others in respectfully.
Walking into the palace, Yu Gan looked around with a vague gaze. There was a huge censer standing in the middle, and there was smoke coming out of it. The smell was exactly the same as what Yu Gan had smelled when he went to the White Horse Temple.
It is estimated that it was obtained from the White Horse Temple. There is a pavilion built behind the incense burner, and a big bell is hung inside.
The surroundings of other trails are also full of flowers and plants, and it looks like a different kind of temple hall.
This Empress Dowager Li really lived up to her reputation, she was a master at worshiping Buddha.
The little eunuch brought them to a Buddhist hall at the back, and said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother is still reciting the morning scriptures inside, please wait a moment for Concubine Wei Gui."
Concubine Wei nodded lightly, Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang stood behind her with their hands tied, obediently waiting.The surrounding area was very quiet, and there were occasional sounds of knocking on the wooden fish.
After waiting for about half an hour, some chanting sounds in the room stopped abruptly.
The door opened and an elderly woman came out.
It is said to be old, but in fact it is not too old. The hair is mainly black, mixed with a little white hair, there are wrinkles on the face, and the skin has a little drooping feeling of years.
The bones are excellent, it is not difficult to see the demeanor when he was young, and he can definitely be regarded as a great beauty when he was young.
Empress Dowager Li was wearing a plain long dress, wearing a wooden hairpin on her long hair, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, with a smile on her lips, she looked very amiable.
A monk with long brows and big ears followed behind him, and it was Kong Ru.
To Yu Gan, who was stunned for a while, this emptiness is really awesome. Are you planning to check in various places in the palace?You can see him everywhere.
"I have met the Queen Mother." Concubine Wei Gui first saluted and said hello.
Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang behind them also saluted and said hello.
"No need to be too polite." Empress Dowager Li came out and said softly, then she turned her gaze to Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang, "This is Wen An's son-in-law, right?"
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Concubine Wei Gui smiled, "The husband and wife just got married yesterday, and now they want to come here to greet the Empress Dowager."
"I have a heart." Empress Dowager Li smiled lightly at Yu Gan, like a spring breeze.The latter hurriedly bowed his hands to show his greatest respect.
"The poor monk wishes you and the princess." Kong Ru also smiled at Yu Gan, and they clasped their hands together.
"Master recognizes the son-in-law?" Empress Dowager Li turned her head and asked Kong Ru.
"I recognize it." Kong Ru said, "My little friend and the poor monk are quite close."
"There is such a fate." Empress Dowager Li sent a sincere invitation to Kong Ru, "Since the master is familiar with the son-in-law and the princess, there is no rush to leave, let's stay and have a cup of tea together."
"Okay." Kong Ru didn't refuse, and nodded in agreement.
Empress Dowager Li walked away from the Buddhist hall and came to the main room where the guests were received.She sat down at the main seat, while Yu Gan and the others took their seats below.
The maids brought the prepared tea over one by one.
Empress Dowager Li took a sip of her tea, then looked at Yu Gan and the others and said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, Wen An also got married. She was the one I grew up watching.
The temper is a bit naughty, so the son-in-law should take more care of him. "
"This is what I will do." Yu Gan clasped his fists in response.
Empress Dowager Li continued, "I'm an old man, so I won't say much. It's considered intentional for you to pay your respects today. Later, I will ask His Majesty to give you some small gifts."
"My minister, thank you Queen Mother." Yu Gan bowed again.
Empress Dowager Li took another sip of tea, turned to look at Kong Ru, and asked with a smile, "How did the master and the son-in-law know each other? I'm a little curious."
Kong Ru clasped his hands together, "It's been a while, when the son-in-law came to play at the White Horse Temple, he strayed into the small courtyard of the poor monk, and the poor monk saw that the son-in-law was very intelligent, so he chatted a little more.
I feel that my temperament is quite congenial, so I have made acquaintances.Speaking of which, the son-in-law and the princess met before the poor monk. "
"How do you say that?" Queen Mother Li looked interested.
"On the day the poor monk and the son-in-law met for the first time, it happened that the princess also came to the White Horse Temple to transcribe scriptures, and I learned about it through words." Kong Ru smiled lightly, without explaining too much.
Empress Dowager Li seemed to have thought of something, and said, "So, Wen An, did you ask your son-in-law for help when transcribing the scriptures?"
Li Nianxiang immediately felt guilty, her eyes turned around a little bit, and she didn't dare to look directly at the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Li continued to laugh, "No wonder half of the scriptures you presented a few days ago were obviously not written by you."
Yu Gan didn't think that this Empress Dowager Li was so meticulous and serious, he could remember all of this, so he quickly took over the conversation and replied, "Back to the Empress Dowager, at that time, I couldn't bear to see the princess tired.
So he took the initiative to help, all this has nothing to do with the princess, and I asked the Queen Mother to forgive me. "
Empress Dowager Li waved her hand lightly, and said, "How can I blame you, it's a good thing that your husband and wife are deeply in love."
"Thank you, Empress."
"Okay, I've invited you guys too. If you're interested, go down first." Empress Dowager Li finally said, "I have something to do later. Concubine Wei Gui, stay for a while, I have something to ask."
Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang quickly stood up, saluted and left.Naturally, Kong Ru on one side would not stay any longer, and left together.
Only Concubine Wei and Empress Dowager Li were left in the room.
The latter held the beads in his hand and turned them gently, while the former looked respectful and could not find any flaws.
"This son-in-law belongs to Dali Temple, right?" Empress Dowager Li asked suddenly.
Concubine Wei replied, "Yes, he is Director Huang of the Shaoqing Department of Dali Temple."
"The director is less than 20 years old." Queen Mother Li seemed to be talking to herself, and then asked, "I heard that you suggested the marriage to Your Majesty?"
Concubine Wei's expression remained unchanged, and she replied calmly, "That's true."
"Why do you think of letting him be a son-in-law?" Queen Mother Li continued to ask shallowly.
Concubine Wei said, "When I went to Wen'an Mansion, I saw the son-in-law teaching her the way of swordsmanship there, and after asking, I realized that the two of them had long been in love with each other.
I thought that since Wen An likes Yu Gan, and Yu Gan has a good character, I simply made such a suggestion to His Majesty. "
Empress Dowager Li's eyes fell on Concubine Wei Gui, who just lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes.
After a long time, Empress Dowager Li smiled gently, "I see, you can go down too, you still need to deal with a lot of chores in the harem. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's my job, it's not hard work." Concubine Wei Gui replied.
Empress Dowager Li nodded lightly and stopped talking.Concubine Wei Gui didn't wait any longer when she saw this, she bowed and retreated.The former just sat quietly in his original position, the prayer beads in his hand were still spinning at a leisurely pace, his eyes were still, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
On the other side, after Yu Gan and Kong Ru said goodbye, they walked out of the palace with Li Nianxiang.
As soon as he left the palace, Yu Gan finally relaxed completely.
It's tiring to get along with people from such a wealthy family, and the rules are so many and smelly, it's really boring.
This lengthy marriage ceremony is finally over.To be honest, Yu Gan was very much in favor of marrying Li Nianxiang.
But from half a month before getting married until now, this ancient etiquette is too cumbersome, which really makes him helpless.
Looking at Li Nianxiang with a smile on his face, Yu Gan felt that everything was interesting.
But the only thing that makes him regret is that from before the decree was made to the present, he has never seen the witch woman again.The kind that doesn't come out no matter how you call it.
Even in the bridal chamber that day.
I don't know if the other party is really afraid of seeing me, or simply has other reasons.Obviously she was the one who agreed with this wedding, but now she has been avoiding it.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Nianxiang looked curiously at Yu Gan who was frowning.
The latter came back to his senses, stretched his brows, and smiled, "It's nothing."
Li Nianxiang hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and asked, "Are you thinking about not being able to live together?"
Yu Gan was taken aback, then climbed up the pole on the spot, and said with regret on his face, "That's right, what kind of etiquette is this, how can there be such a thing."
"Then why don't you go talk to your father again?" Li Nianxiang made a suggestion.
"No need." Yu Gan shook his head, looking upright.
Li Nianxiang glared at him, if she wasn't too far away from the imperial city, she would have started directly.
The two walked back side by side like this, the marriage was a perfect ending, and the days to come had just begun, especially for that witch, it was another arduous task.
Yu Gan thought so.
~~
~~
August eighth.
On the third day after Yu Gan's wedding, he went back and forth for 20 days before his life finally got back on track.
He also had to officially return to Dali Temple to be on duty. Some time ago, Huang Si had a lot of free time because of his affairs.It's all Xuansi's help to share.
Now that he's back, among other things, he's probably going to be busy for the next short period of time.
In the early morning, Yu Gan got up early.
He lived in his own small yard last night, because today he was going to help send Wei Dashan out of Tai'an City.
After all, Wei Dashan is the Lord of the Yin Mountain. He has been away from the Yin Mountain for a long time, and there are still many subordinates on the mountain, so he must go back and have a look.
Originally, Wei Dashan didn't want to go back, because now he has become Yugan's ghost servant, and it doesn't matter whether Yinshan's foundation is wanted or not.
It was Yu Gan who asked him to go back, and he was useless in Tai'an for the time being.Now that the Yinling Pill has been refined, it's time to go back.
