"Li'er, can you sit next to me?"

When he sat down, Gu Nian warmly invited Li'er to sit next to him. Because his father and mother had indulged Gu Nian since he was a child, and Xiao Mobai had doted on him obediently. Moreover, this was a private gathering at home, so Gu Nian took it easy and directly asked Li'er to sit next to him. .

Li'er was naturally very happy to be greeted by her favorite sister-in-law. But because she had just arrived in the palace, she did not dare to go there for a while.

He looked at his father, then at the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor. He wanted to go to Gu Nian, but he didn't dare to go to Gu Nian.

"Come on, Li'er. It's like your own home here. You don't need to be so restrained."

Seeing Li'er's embarrassed look, the Queen Mother said with a very approachable smile.

Others also agreed and asked Li'er to sit next to Gu Nian.

Seeing that everyone else agreed that she should go to Gu Nian's side, Li'er happily sat down next to Gu Nian.

"Li'er, try this. This is a dish that the chef in the imperial kitchen is particularly good at."

"Li'er, try this again, I think this is particularly delicious."

Because it was a family banquet, Xiao Mobai did not have anyone waiting beside him, so that everyone could relax more freely.

So ever since Li'er sat next to Gu Nian, Gu Nian kept holding dishes for her.

Soon, the bags in front of Li'er were piled into a small mountain. The plate was so full that it almost overflowed.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you've eaten too much, I can't even eat it!" The little girl was a little shy because of Gu Nian's enthusiasm. Looking at the food piled up like a hill in front of me, I felt a little overwhelmed. I wanted to refuse, but I was worried that if I refused, I would let down my sister-in-law's kindness.

"Eat more. You are still young and you are not afraid of getting fat. It is the time to grow." Gu He kept persuading the little girl to eat more food. He wanted to make her taste all the food on the table before she would agree. give up.

Because Gu Xin was so overcome with emotion, the little girl kept eating the food in front of her until she was so full that she couldn't eat any more.

"Sister-in-law, I really can't eat anymore. My stomach is about to burst." Li'er gently stroked her belly with one hand and acted coquettishly towards Gu Nian.

"Little girl, why are you so cute?" Gu Nian looked at Li'er in front of him with great fondness.

Seeing that Gu Nian liked the little girl very much, Xiao Mobai couldn't help but feel jealous.

He reached out and turned Gu Nian's face to his side, making her look at him.

"Nian'er, you've been paying attention to Li'er, and you haven't eaten much." Xiao Mobai said, bringing the shrimp meat he had just peeled to Gu Nian and asked: "Are you going to eat it yourself or should I feed it to you?"

"I can just feed myself." Gu Nian was worried that this man would really feed him in front of so many people, so he hurriedly said that he could just feed himself.

"Okay, what else do you want to eat?" Xiao Mobai asked patiently, with a gentle and doting tone.

"Anything is fine, I like both left and right."

Just by listening to Gu Nian's words, you can tell how favored she is on weekdays. The meals at family gatherings are all based on her preferences.

But in fact, it's not just Gu Nian's preference. It's just that Gu Nian and the Queen Mother have similar tastes, so there is no conflict.

Li'er watched the interaction between Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian and found it very strange.

Because her mother passed away early, Li'er had never seen such a loving relationship between husband and wife.

The way she saw Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian, as well as the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor getting along, were completely different from what she had heard about in the books, so Li'er found it even more novel.

What she had heard before was that men were superior to women, and it was common for men to have some concubines.

In fact, on the way into the palace, Li'er was worried that the ladies in the palace would be difficult to get along with. Will the ladies think she is vulgar because she comes from the border?

But what she didn't expect was that when she entered the palace, she found that except for the queen, the emperor's brother had no other concubines.

She had heard her father tell her about her aunt's condition before, but she didn't expect that the emperor's brother was also like this. Moreover, she, the Queen's sister-in-law, liked her appearance very much, which made Li'er relax a lot.

The meal was enjoyable. After the meal, because the Queen Mother and her brother had not seen each other for a long time, they found another place to chat after the meal.

Worried that these children would be restrained and bored sitting there, I let them play by themselves.

Gu Nian held Li'er's hand and planned to take her to play in the Royal Garden.

"Li'er, shall we go to the Imperial Garden? Your brother built a swing for me in the Imperial Garden. The flowers are blooming just right now. It's time to enjoy the beautiful scenery."

On the way, Gu Nian enthusiastically introduced the scenery of the Royal Garden to Li'er. Li'er listened quietly and looked very interested.

"It all depends on sister-in-law's arrangements." The little girl responded obediently, and Gu Nian liked her even more when she saw her.

"Okay, then I will take you to play. Once we are done walking around the palace, I will take you out of the palace to play. There are many fun places in our capital."

"Leave the palace? Can sister-in-law leave the palace?"

Li'er frowned and asked in confusion. She remembered that she read in a book that although the concubines in the palace lived a wealthy life, they did not have freedom. As long as they were selected into the palace as concubines, they would not be able to leave the palace for the rest of their lives. Palace.

So now I was very surprised to hear that Gu Nian actually said that he wanted to take her out of the palace to play.

Gu Nian also knew what Li'er was puzzled about, so he smiled and explained to Li'er: "Of course, I grew up in the palace, and my father and mother were good to me. Brother Mo Bai was worried when he was young. I'm bored, so I'm often taken out of the palace to play. So when we're done playing in the palace, we'll go out of the palace, don't worry!"

With Gu Nian's assurance, the little girl's brows instantly relaxed. Rather than being able to leave the palace to play, she was more worried about causing trouble for Gu Nian.

She had lived in the border area since she was a child. Like Gu Nian, she had no playmates around her. And having practiced martial arts all year round, she didn't like those women who twisted their waists and acted pretentiously.

So these years, she didn't have a little sister by her side. Now it's hard to find someone she likes, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble to the other person.

"Okay, then I will listen to my sister-in-law's arrangements."

After making sure that leaving the palace to play would not bring any trouble to Gu Nian, Li'er happily agreed.

On the way to the palace, Li'er felt that the streets in the capital were very lively. But because her father was anxious to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, she could only find opportunities to play out later.

Now it was better, her sister-in-law took the initiative to invite her out of the palace to play, which was considered as fulfilling her wish.
