Chapter 350 Warmth
Tang Zhao's resurrection was like a shot of adrenaline to everyone's hearts. The entire Zhanwang Mansion was no longer as lifeless as before, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.

Li Mama was overjoyed and burst into tears, holding Tang Zhao's hand tightly. Gu Ci reminded her, "Zhao Zhao has just woken up and is still too weak. She needs to rest more," before he persuaded Li Mama to leave Bi Dan Courtyard.

Xia Duan brought the white fungus and lotus seed porridge into the inner room, intending to serve it to Tang Zhao, but Gu Ci snatched it away, leaving her only able to watch longingly.

After finishing her bowl of porridge, Xia Mo asked first, "Would you like another bowl, Miss?"

Tang Zhao nodded.

Xia Mo happily snatched the jade bowl from Gu Ci's hand, went to the small kitchen and filled a large bowl with porridge. This time she learned her lesson and held the jade bowl firmly with both hands, determined not to give her son-in-law a chance to take it away!

Gu Ci sat motionless on the edge of the bed.

Seeing that Gu Ci had no intention of making room, Xia Mo had no choice but to speak up, "Young master, please make way, I need to serve the young lady some porridge."

Gu Ci reached out his hand, "I can do it."

Xia Mo protected the bowl and took a step back. "The young master already fed her!" She looked pitifully at Tang Zhao. "Miss, you be the judge!"

Tang Zhao blinked, not wanting to fall into the trap of choosing between the two, and said, "I'll drink it myself."

Xia Mo handed the bowl to Tang Zhao with a resentful expression.

Tang Zhao scooped up a spoonful of lotus seed porridge, blew on it, and then offered it to Gu Ci.

Gu Ci was taken aback. "I'm not hungry."

Tang Zhao feigned sadness.

Gu Ci's heart tightened, and he opened his mouth to swallow the porridge.

Tang Zhao drank a spoonful herself, then fed Gu Ci another spoonful. Seeing that Gu Ci was about to refuse, Tang Zhao said, "You drink a spoonful, and I'll drink a spoonful."

Gu Ci hesitated, but finally opened his mouth and drank it down.

As summer drew to a close, Xia looked at the young woman and then at the young man. Though unwilling to admit it, it seemed that in the young woman's heart, the young man's position was indeed a little more important than theirs.

Xia Mo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died. She pouted and quietly retreated.

Gu Ci raised the corners of his mouth.

"Look at you, so pathetic," Tang Zhao fed the last spoonful of porridge to Gu Ci. "A dignified Prince Zhan, competing for favor with a little girl, aren't you ashamed if word gets out!"

"I don't mind," Gu Ci shook his head, took the jade bowl, and placed it on the bedside table.

Tang Zhao laughed in exasperation, patted the bed beside her, and said, "Come on up and sleep with me."

"Tired?" Gu Ci asked, a hint of nervousness creeping in.

Tang Zhao reached out and poked Gu Ciqing's dark circles under his eyes. "Your dark circles are so dark you could look like a panda. Aren't you sleepy? Come on, I'll sleep with you for a while."

As Gu Ci took off his boots, he asked, "Giant panda?" Is it a bear or a cat?

Tang Zhao lifted a corner of the blanket while explaining some knowledge about giant pandas.

Gu Ci took off his coat and lay down beside Tang Zhao. "So it's because they're rare that they're considered national treasures?"

"The small number is only one aspect, the most important thing is that they are cute!" Tang Zhao straightened Gu Ci's arm, rested her head on Gu Ci's shoulder, turned to the side and lifted her leg to press on Gu Ci's stomach, covered her mouth and yawned, "Go to sleep, I will tell you about the fun people and things from our place when you wake up."

Gu Ci looked at Tang Zhao, who was curled up in his arms, and didn't know where to put his hands and legs. He was stiff like a zombie that had been dead for hundreds of years. It took a full half incense stick to burn before he reached out and hugged Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao: "He declined."

Gu Ci: "Mm."

Tang Zhao grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Your heartbeat is so loud!"

Gu Ci wanted to explain, but he really didn't know how to calm his racing heart. The only way was to stay away from Zhao Zhao.

But he didn't want to. Tang Zhao: "I have a plan."

Gu Ci: "What method?"

Tang Zhao hugged Gu Ci tightly, nuzzling her face against Gu Ci's neck. "From now on, we'll sleep like this. Once you get used to it, your heart won't beat so fast anymore."

Gu Ci's breath hitched. "Okay!"

The tent was cozy and warm. Gu Ci didn't know when she fell asleep, only that when she woke up again, candles had been lit in the inner room.

Tang Zhao stroked Gu Ci's chin, "You've grown a beard, you're not handsome anymore."

Gu Ci grasped Tang Zhao's mischievous hand and rubbed his stubble-covered chin against Tang Zhao's delicate face.

Tang Zhao's face itched, and she laughed as she hid inside the bed curtains.

The sounds of the two playing reached outside. Chunfeng, who had been waiting under the eaves, knocked on the door. "Miss, Master, His Majesty and the Empress have arrived. They've been waiting in the main hall all afternoon!"

"come in!"

Spring Breeze and Autumn Rain carried in a copper basin, keeping their heads down and not daring to look at the bed curtains.

Gu Ci rolled out of bed, putting on his coat and boots as he said, "I'll go see Father and Mother first. Take your time, don't rush."

"Okay," Chunfeng Qiuyu said, after Gu Ci left the inner room. She then relaxed and smiled as she helped Tang Zhao wash her face, put on the new clothes made this autumn, comb her hair into a beautiful flying fairy bun, and adorn her with a complete set of ruby ​​headdress.

Tang Zhao looked at her elegant and luxurious attire in the mirror, her expression complicated. "Isn't this a bit too extravagant?"

Qiu Yu said matter-of-factly, "A girl who has escaped death should naturally dress up in a festive manner to ward off bad luck!"

Spring Breeze nodded in agreement.

Tang Zhao, wanting to avoid seeing the problem, stood up and was about to leave when Chunfeng and Qiuyu quickly helped him up on either side.

Tang Zhao felt like he had aged eighty years in an instant!
Not that bad!
In the main hall, the Empress would occasionally glance outside the door, seemingly oblivious to her haggard son.

Emperor Wu'an was even more displeased and said, "Zhaozhao didn't come, so what are you doing here?"

Gu Ci took a sip of tea to moisten his parched throat. "I've come to pay my respects to Father and Mother."

Emperor Wu'an seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Greetings?" He glanced at his son. "Why didn't you come when I summoned you to the palace before?"

Gu Ci had nothing to say.

Emperor Wu'an grew increasingly angry as he spoke. He had come to the Prince of Zhan's residence to see his son, only to be turned away at the door!

Not to mention his son, he didn't even step into the gates of the War King's mansion!
Everyone says raising a son is for old age security, so what's the use of him raising this son?!
Emperor Wu'an drank a large bowl of tea to relieve his internal heat!
"Father!" Tang Zhao shook off Chunfeng Qiuyu's hand and skipped in.

"Zhao Zhao!" Emperor Wu'an smiled involuntarily upon seeing Tang Zhao. "Quickly, let your father take a look!"

Tang Zhao spun around several times with Emperor Wu'an and the Empress, showcasing her good health from all angles.

Overjoyed, the Empress wept, "My son is truly blessed by the gods and Buddhas." She clasped her hands together and instructed the eunuch Wang beside her, "After returning to the palace, withdraw ten thousand taels of silver from the imperial treasury to rebuild the golden statue of Buddha at Huguo Temple."

While Wang Dajian verbally agreed, his eyes secretly glanced at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci pursed his lips, his displeasure practically written all over his face.

The Empress ignored her son and asked Tang Zhao directly, "Zhao Zhao, do you think what your mother did was right?"

Tang Zhao nodded repeatedly, "That's right, thank you for your trouble, Mother!"

The empress proudly gestured with her chin towards her son.

Supervisor Wang kept this matter in mind.

Emperor Wu'an, seeing that Gu Ci was actually angry about something that only women in the inner quarters would care about, disliked his son even more. He beckoned to Tang Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, come here. Your father has something to discuss with you."
