Chapter 952 Dinner Party

"I doubt it," Gu Chengsi admitted. "My performance reviews were excellent the past three years, but the first year's rating was just so-so.'"

"Excellent is good enough. Hopefully, a promotion opens up this time," Gu Chengrui replied.

"Speaking of promotions," Gu Chengsi continued, "I heard Chengxi married King An's daughter."

"Yes, a concubine's child. Second Uncle gave them a separate house after their marriage, and they're doing quite well.

"We'll have a family gathering tomorrow at noon; let's have a nice meal together."

"Separate houses are best. It keeps everyone comfortable," Gu Chengsi agreed. "How's the Empress doing?"

"She's fine. The palace is peaceful, with only three of them now. Besides managing affairs, she cares for the children and lives comfortably," Gu Chengrui explained.

"A rare and good Emperor," Gu Chengsi remarked. "Especially in his self-control regarding women."
