The court was turbulent, first Zhang Ling was accused of colluding with the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the process of raiding the Zijin Temple, suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and disappeared when the Criminal Department took people to arrest and interrogate. Later, it was found by the Duke of Qi in a private residence of Zhang Ling, but when he arrived, Zhang Ling only left a suicide note, saying that he was controlled by others, and felt deeply ashamed of the country, and confirmed that the matter of fire oil was taken advantage of his position to instruct people to do it, and presented the contact letter of the dark line of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After all, the person is no longer there, and the emperor is not good to implicate again. After all, although the Zhang family fell to a Zhang Ling, the foundation is still there, and Emperor Yue only dismissed a few juniors, which can be regarded as an example. It's just that since then, the Zhang family has been squeezed out everywhere in the officialdom, although there is still Mrs. Zhang supporting the scene, but it has finally declined.

The military has become the Guo family, the Xu family, and the Chen family, and the three-legged one. But under the intentional or unintentional concessions of the two families, King Xu, who has recently made outstanding achievements, became the first person in the army.

But this is only one aspect, on the other hand, the king of Chu wrote a letter to intercede for the Zhang family, and won a lot of praise, and the government and the opposition all called it virtuous. And the prince, although everyone doesn't say it, but the prince mistakenly believes in the traitor, and he doesn't know anyone, but he can also see it at a glance, and the prince's prestige was ruined overnight. A monarch can not act, but must not know people, this is necessary, although he is the eldest son, but whether the crown prince is really suitable to become a monarch, there have been many doubts in the court. The henchmen of the king of Chu took advantage of this opportunity to fall into the ground, and took the opportunity to squeeze out the officials who were usually close to Zhang Ling, and the officials of the prince's party were hit hard and collapsed.

And the little butterfly that caused a storm in the court was practicing female workers in her yard at this time. There's no way, Miss Boudoir, that's all she can do. At this time, Guo Yuan on the side was talking about who was demoted and who was included in the book, but Guo Shu only had a reply and seemed absent-minded.

"Little sister, you have been embroidering this duck for many days, I think the embroidery is very good, little sister is ingenious. Guo Yuan is in a good mood, and it is rare to have the patience to accompany Guo Shu to embroider.

Guo Shu reluctantly raised the "duck" in his hand, and had to throw it aside, "I'm not a duck, this is a mandarin duck, forget it, I'll go do something else." ”

"Mandarin duck, hahaha, mandarin duck, hahaha-" Guo Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, Guo Shu was annoyed for a while, stuffed a osmanthus cake into Guo Yuan's mouth, and chattered, "Eat, and the food can block your mouth, your sister embroidered like this, you still have a face." ”

Guo Yuan swallowed the osmanthus cake in his mouth, "It's not my business whether I have a face or not, but," Guo Yuan actually showed a little gossip, "Today the King of Chu gave a gift again, it is said that it was given to Miss Guo's family, you said it was for you or for the second sister, and King Ning also sent it, but he sent two copies." Do you know what was delivered?"

Guo Shu said lightly: "It's all returned, what's the use of knowing, it's better not to know." ”

Guo Yuan was choked for a moment, and asked unrelentingly, "How do you know that they have all been returned?"

"The Zhang family has just fallen, the Guo family is in the limelight, and the king of Chu is anxious to win over, if he accepts the gift, isn't it equivalent to standing in line? Father has always been neutral, how can he accept the gift? And I also know that this matter of returning the gift is on you," Guo Shu patted Guo Yuan's shoulder, and said seriously: "You have a long way to go, don't hide here with me, hurry up, my father is training in Xishan, and there is no one in the family who can support the scene." After speaking, he snickered kindly, making Guo Yuan turn into a bitter gourd face.

"You... Forget it, you won't understand my hard work, but the second sister's ceremony is coming, and the sister-in-law means that yours will be redone together, and when you celebrate your sixteenth birthday, it will be regarded as a joy for your grandmother, and it is said that you will have to perform a talent, so you have to prepare well. ”

"Sister-in-law specially told me today, I'm still annoying, why don't I perform a sword dance? What talent can I perform, just call myself sick. Guo Shu was also annoyed, picked up the half-embroidered "mandarin duck" again, and looked at it carefully.

"That's not good, you're the eldest daughter," Guo Yuan immediately objected, "As the only concubine of the Guo family, you are the face of our Guo family, but there is still more than a month left, you should be able to handle it if you prepare well, don't tell me that you haven't learned anything from your master except martial arts and medical skills, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, you will always be the same." ”

"This," Guo Shu pretended to think about it seriously, and then shook his head seriously, "It's really not, so ah, I'll just forget it, I mean it." ”

Guo Yuan almost fell for it, "You mean you don't know anything, didn't my sister-in-law teach you?"

"Teach," Guo Shu shook the embroidery in his hand, "Isn't this the result?"

Guo Yuan couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Are you really not able to get your hands on something?"

"Eat, count?" Guo Shu smiled embarrassedly, seeing that Guo Yuan was about to get angry, he hurriedly reassured: "Don't, I will, I can dance, can I dance? ”

Although he lacked confidence, Guo Yuan didn't want to pursue it anymore, Guo Shu saw that he seemed to be a little relieved, and hurriedly said: "I'm going to give my grandmother an injection, let's go first." After finishing speaking, he slipped away, and disappeared in front of Guo Yuan's eyes in a blink of an eye, so that Guo Yuan really had no choice at all.
