Chapter 199: Outside the Palace Gate

"They have nothing to say but flattering me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "The Queen Mother waved her hand with a bitter look on her face.

As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, she was very contemptuous of others.

It can be seen that the Queen Mother was also miserable by them.

Whether it's some county lords or some concubines.

The Queen Mother has been in a relationship with them all day long, and her head is naturally going to be bigger.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.

Gu Zi is the queen mother, and she has to complain like this.

Gu Zizhong had been silently listening to the Queen Mother's complaints.

However, the Queen Mother still smiled after complaining: "Okay, Zizhong, what I gave you will come soon." ”

Gu Zizhong also comforted: "The Queen Mother usually saves money and frugality, so save some of her own silver and keep it for herself." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head: "This is just a small thought, not enough to worry about." ”

As he spoke, he listened to the sound of the female officer walking quickly.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's here." ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother got up by herself.

Gu Zizhong wanted to help, but the Queen Mother refused: "No, I can do it myself." ”

The Queen Mother took over a delicate blue box and opened it in front of Gu Zizhong to see that it was a pocket watch.

"It's a Western thing, a good thing. My wife's eyes are dizzy, and she can't see the time clearly. I want to give it to you. The Queen Mother is full of expectations.

How could Gu Zizhong not take it?

She took the pocket watch, bowed again and again, and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness." ”

The Queen Mother helped her up: "Little things." I still have a musket there, but it's too scary to take it out. ”

Western musket, Gu Zizhong knew that that thing was a sharp weapon.

There are also Hongyi cannons.

These were all sharp weapons used by the Ming army to deal with the Tartars and the Japanese Invaders.

Gu Zizhong knew that if Zhu Shizi wanted to deal with the Tartar soldiers, he also needed Western muskets.

She also asked more: "Where did the musket come from?"

It shouldn't have been a tribute from Westerners.

Sure enough, as she expected, the Queen Mother said: "This is the Western musket that our Ming army captured there a few days ago when our Ming army conquered Shangjing. It was someone from the Zhu family, who beat the invaders away and came back to me. ”

Really.

But it shouldn't have been captured by Zhu Shizi.

Gu Zizhong didn't say anything more.

The Queen Mother's face was full of expectation: "These things are the pride of our Ming Dynasty." Alas......"

I don't know where the Queen Mother thought of it again, why did she suddenly sigh again?

The Queen Mother suddenly wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes, came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Okay, Zizhong, this Western pocket watch will be given to you." It's good for you to watch the time. ”

Gu Zizhong said obediently: "Oh." ”

Something else.

The Empress Dowager Fang Cai seems to have said, it's a small jade pendant, right?

The Queen Mother forgot?

Gu Zizhong waited for a while, but the Queen Mother didn't take it again.

The Queen Mother and Gu Zizhong exchanged pleasantries for a long time, which were all inconsequential things.

Gu Zizhong is most worried about his marriage.

She had already explained this to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was very reasonable, and simply promised: "Zizhong, don't worry, I won't let you marry Li Huicheng, and I won't let you enter the palace as a concubine." ”

Gu Zizhong listened to the Queen Mother's promise, and her heart was also a lot more steady.

Besides, Zhu Shizi's family, as well as Gu Wangye, they all went to meet the emperor.

With these two families putting pressure on the emperor, the emperor has to hold back his stomach no matter how much he has ideas, right?

So many officials can wait under the court!

As long as the emperor has something, the official will definitely hype it up, and even add fuel and vinegar.

The emperor is most afraid of this.

So on the whole, Gu Zizhong should have no problem.

The Queen Mother allowed her to leave the palace.

She left Cining Palace with relief.

Because she was happy, she didn't let the female official send it, and just went back by herself.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Gu Zizhong came to the market.

But I happened to run into someone.

This made Gu Zizhong a little unable to dodge.

That person is Li Huicheng.

I'm really afraid of something.

Why is the road narrow?

Gu Zizhong lowered his head and prepared to leave like this.

But Li Huicheng called out to her: "Lord Gu, I happened to meet you here." ”

Gu Zizhong pretended not to hear it and prepared to leave.

But Li Huicheng still stopped her and stood in front of her.

Gu Zizhong raised his head and had to give a perfunctory smile: "General Li, I really didn't expect to meet you here." ”

How did you end up running into him here?

Li Huicheng said: "The emperor has something to do with me, I just came out of the Qianqing Palace." ”

He looked behind Gu Zizhong and said with doubts: "What, has Lord Gu just come out of the palace?"

Gu Zizhong didn't answer.

This silence is a sign of acquiescence.

Li Huicheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, no wonder, the emperor asked me to dispel the idea of marrying you." It turns out that Lord Gu's relationship in the palace is also very hard. ”

Gu Zizhong hated him a little: "General Li's words are a bit excessive. I just went to see the Queen Mother, serve the Queen Mother, and chat with the Queen Mother, do you also have to take care of it?"

Li Huicheng didn't expect that the two of them would get along in a few words.

He hurriedly became polite: "Lord Gu, don't be angry, I'm just usually concerned." Since Lord Gu is already famous, then I won't be strong. I'm a dignified general, are you still afraid that you won't find a daughter-in-law?"

If you can't find a daughter-in-law, what does it have to do with me?

Gu Zizhong didn't want to listen to him.

Li Huicheng just wanted to show off in front of the Gu family.

Even if she follows Li Huicheng, there will be no good results.

Fortunately, the emperor let him give up.

Gu Zizhong's face became a little heavier: "General Li is so famous, there is no shortage of women anywhere." Zizhong still had something to do, so he left first. ”

Li Huicheng was immediately unhappy: "What, is Lord Gu unwilling to talk to me? You and I are also old acquaintances, why don't you have to say a few more words?"

Gu Zizhong didn't bother to take care of him.

She didn't want to speak, but she still had to say: "Zizhong and General Li are just Pingshui meeting, not old acquaintances, not to mention that Zizhong is still on the order of the Queen Mother to do something very important." ”

Take the queen to oppress people?

Li Huicheng didn't dare to slack off, and seemed slightly panicked.

However, there was still disdain in his eyes: "Since Lord Gu refuses to appreciate the light, then I am not strong." Please also take care of the county lord. ”

Gu Zi didn't reply, and strode out of here directly.

She was very indifferent on the surface, but she was actually very flustered inside.

What happened when you came to the capital?

First was the contempt of the county lord of Yongyang, and then the contempt of Li Huicheng.

It seems that the capital is full of enemies, and on the surface it is full of friends.

Especially in the harem.

Being in it, you can't get out of it if you want to.

Gu Zizhong had already set foot in it, and it was difficult to get out of it.

She doesn't look for trouble, things will take the initiative to find her.
