Xiaoya was chatting affectionately with her mother and sister-in-law, while Brother Gan was also talking to his old father-in-law in the study. At noon, the family held a banquet for the prince and concubine. Was it also the face of the Zhao family?

The Zhao family was very grateful. They never expected that the crown prince and crown princess would come back to visit them. They thought it was impossible. This made the Zhao family feel that the emperor and queen were generous and generous, and the prince was humble, courteous, kind and forgiving.

Xiaoya told her mother and sister-in-law that the queen also asked her to say something nice and detailed her interactions with her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed, "You are so lucky to marry into the royal family and have such a kind mother-in-law. You must be truly filial to your mother-in-law in the future."

"yes."

He left after dinner in the afternoon. He was already a little drunk. He leaned on Xiaoya's shoulder and said coquettishly, "I'm drunk."

"I've asked someone to prepare hangover soup. You can drink some."

"If you don't want to drink, you can coax me. I drink like this because of you."

Brother Gan has a flat mouth, like a drunk kid.

Xiaoya couldn't help but laugh, "Then what do you want? I won't feel uncomfortable tomorrow after drinking the hangover soup, be good."

She approached him and kissed his forehead, "Is this good?"

"Well, okay, I see you're coaxing me, so I drank the hangover soup. It tastes terrible."

Brother Gan snorted.

Xiaoya poured the sobering soup for him to drink, and then she smiled with relief.

Brother Gan held her waist lazily, which made Xiaoya giggle, "If people see our prince is like this, I wonder if they will laugh out loud. Haha!"

Brother Gan clenched his fist and waved it, "Whoever dares to laugh at me, beat him. You heartless girl, who am I for?"

After saying that, he pinched her waist unwillingly and groaned angrily.

"Hehe! Well, you have worked the hardest, and my godbrother loves me the most."

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Brother Gan took a nap while holding her in his arms, and he indeed drank too much. The Zhao family were very good at drinking, and they kept toasting.

But Gan Ge drinks well and doesn't like to talk when he's drunk. He just takes a nap.

Back at Changle Palace, Xiaoya asked someone to go to Kunning Palace to report the matter, so that the queen mother and others would not worry.

After settling her godfather to wash up and go to bed, Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief. She finally finished the wedding matters, which was also a hard job.

He was going to court tomorrow morning, so Xiaoya asked someone to take out the prince's python robe, iron it and hang it up. She got up early in the morning and was too busy to do it.

"I'll make some porridge tomorrow morning, make some steamed stuffed buns with vegetarian fillings, and have a cup of refreshing and delicious sweet soup. After drinking wine, I'll feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach in the morning. I'll focus on the refreshing taste."

"yes."

"Tomorrow's dishes will be mainly refreshing, sour and spicy to whet your appetite. I will make one or two delicious vegetarian dishes. I love to eat vegetarian dishes."

Xiaoya wouldn't say that His Highness doesn't like vegetables, and it's taboo to reveal the Prince's preferences, but it doesn't matter if she likes to eat a bite.

"yes."

The maids do not doubt that he is there, and her taste is usually light and pure.

After making these arrangements, Xiaoya went to sleep. Her godfather turned over and hugged her, "Why did you just finish it? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Gu Nu was dissatisfied.

"I've been busy for a little while. Why don't you come now? Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

She blinked at him curiously.

"If I can't sleep, please talk to me."

"Are you drunk? Why are you still sober?"

Xiaoya couldn't help laughing.

"I never get drunk outside. My mother is very strict with us and never allows us to get drunk and talk nonsense outside, or stay outside at night.

If she finds out, she will beat us. When we were young, we did something wrong. My mother used a whip to whip us. Even my younger brother Lian was beaten. His body was covered with blood. My father and mother became anxious. Hehe !”

He couldn't help laughing when he thought about being beaten when he was a child.

"Mother is so strict? It's impossible for you to lie to me."

Xiaoya's eyes widened and she didn't believe what he said. How could the Queen hit someone with a whip if her temper was so tolerant and kind?

She thought about it and shook her head again, firmly not believing it.

Brother Gan said in aggrieved tone, "I really won't lie to you."

"Then there are no scars on your back. Such a serious injury will definitely leave scars. You don't have any. You can't lie to others. The queen mother is your own mother. How can you slander the reputation of the mother of the country?

Even if it's true, the lack of scars means she must have mastered the strength. What's the big deal, my dad beat my brother with a bamboo stick and his hands were swollen."

Zhao Ya thinks it's not a big deal. The Zhao family is very strict with their children and grandchildren. It's common to beat children. I've seen even more cruel people than this. If you don't teach your children, they won't be effective.

Brother Gan looked at Xiaoya's disgusted eyes and couldn't help but feel aggrieved, "It really hurts. My mother is a monk. She is very skillful in beating people. It hurts but leaves no scars, and can make you hurt for a long time." memory."

Xiaoya blinked her eyes and looked at him as if he was not lying. She shook her head, "I still can't believe it. Is it so powerful? I can't tell."

"Look, no one believes me when I say it. This is the great thing about my mother. Everyone praises her, but her enemies and relatives know what kind of person she is."

Brother Gan smiled proudly.

Zhao Ya smiled and nodded, "If it's true as you said, then he is the one who is truly capable. My grandfather has said before that he doesn't like people who appear to be the same as they are, because they are either very kind or too stupid.

Grandfather said that life is inevitably not free, and there will be compromises and things that you don’t want others to know about. This is especially true in the officialdom. Although it is straightforward to be straight to the end, such people can also easily get into trouble. After all, you still have to worry about your reputation. of.

Just like when I was learning the rules, my grandmother said that you should learn the rules well, but for others to see, not for your own benefit.

If no one can see you in your own room, you don't have to be so rigid. You can relax a little. I think the truth is the same. No one can wear a mask all their life. They have to return to their original self.

A truly capable person like the Empress, who can move forward and retreat in a moderate manner while always keeping herself from being led astray, is the most difficult thing."

Xiaoya expressed her understanding. Although it was simple, it was also to the point.

Brother Gan smiled softly, "She is a smart girl."

"Yes, my grandfather said, it is round on the outside and square on the inside. This is how you should be as a human being."

Xiaoya shook her head and finally thought of the correct word.

Brother Gan muttered in his mouth, "It's round on the outside and square on the inside. It's interesting."

It's very appropriate. If you are too upright in life, you may encounter obstacles everywhere, but it is not good to be too smooth and lose your true heart. Therefore, being round on the outside and square on the inside is the best way to balance yourself and reality.

"Yeah, I'm smart."

"Yes, my wife is the smartest."

"Well, I'm sleepy. Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"good."

Brother Gan touched her forehead with his lips, smiled, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
