In the evening of this day, Gu Zizhong and Chen Chanjuan accompanied the Queen Mother to have dinner.

It's tomorrow soon.

Now that I think about it, I'm still a little excited.

After all, this is something that Gu Zizhong has been looking forward to for a long time.

But maybe the Queen Mother felt that she was going to be lonely, so she didn't have the heart to say anything more.

There will be more words until the last moment, and there is usually nothing to say.

It's not that I don't have anything to say, but what I want to say is hidden in my heart!

Gu Zizhong couldn't bear to disturb the Queen Mother, sobbed in a low voice and went out, gently closed the door, turned around and prepared to leave.

She turned around and saw a person standing in the hallway.

Gu Zizhong almost bumped into that person's body.

Before she could react, she only heard the sobs of the person opposite.

Gu Zizhong could hear that this voice was Chen Chanjuan's.

Could it be that she is leaving?

She just treated it squarely, trying to rub her eyes to see clearly, but she saw a blurred figure in the darkness far away from her.

Gu Zizhong waved at the figure, trying to stop her.

Suddenly, the corridor lit up, and two female officials came over with lanterns and said to Gu Zizhong: "County Lord, the Queen Mother instructed us to arrange a good house for you to live in." Please come with us. ”

The houses in Cining Palace are not bad, what's wrong?

Gu Zizhong sighed, and was about to reply, but heard Chen Chanjuan's sobbing again.

Gu Zizhong and the two female officials were looking for prestige.

At this time, the door of the Queen Mother's room was also opened.

Gu Zizhong was startled by the sound of the door again, and when he looked back, he saw the Queen Mother standing at the door wearing a coat: "What are you crying about this big night, bad luck." ”

Chen Chanjuan hurriedly made amends and asked the Queen Mother for forgiveness.

The Queen Mother is old, and she doesn't get angry easily, but Fang Cai's voice is too noisy, which mixes her dreams, so she loses her temper.

Now that her temper is gone, the Queen Mother's whole heart is much better.

Pointing to the inside of the room, the Queen Mother said, "You two come in and talk to me." ”

Gu Zizhong and Chen Chanjuan looked at each other, both expressing a little helplessness.

And Chen Chanjuan is getting more and more uncomfortable.

The two men obeyed their orders and went into the house together.

The Empress Dowager took off her coat, and she turned around and sat on the kang again, covered half of her body with a quilt, leaned against the head of the bed, and said, "The two of you are quite good, unlike the Yongyang County Lord, who is too noisy." ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother took a sip of a cup of tea on the table behind herself, and asked the female official: "By the way, I haven't seen you for a few days, what is this Yongyang County Lord doing now?"

A female official said: "If you go back to Niangniang, she is now studying as a female worker at home!"

"Oh?" the Queen Mother's eyelids rolled, looking surprised, "This child is used to relying on others, when did she become so diligent herself?"

The female official said: "After Zhu Guogong came out of the prison of the Criminal Department last time, his family education became much stricter, so that his children could study more so that they could gain a foothold in the capital in the future." ”

The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "Who did you listen to this?"

The female official was even more respectful: "This is all spread by the servants of Zhu Guogong's family, and even the emperor knows about it." ”

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and said, "This Zhu Guogong, he is afraid that the emperor will not know! However, this learning is good for children after all. It's okay to let that Yongyang county lord stay in her own house for a few more days, so as not to bother me. ”

Putting down the teacup in her hand, the Queen Mother gently wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and at the same time shifted her gaze to Chen Chanjuan's body: "You have been sobbing just now, is there something in your heart?"

Chen Chanjuan pondered, as if there were thousands of words in her throat, but she couldn't reach her mouth.

The Queen Mother was a little anxious: "Oh, what's the hard thing to say? Is there a lack of money in your hometown? I'll ask the household department to allocate some money to your hometown." ”

Chen Chanjuan hurriedly shook her head: "The emperor's kindness to Chanjuan, Chanjuan has already remembered it. Thanks to the Queen Mother's concern, the emperor has allocated some silver to the township, repaired the ancestral hall, repaired the road, built the yamen, and built the house. The look of my home has now changed. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Chanjuan's face was still slightly smiling.

The Queen Mother was even more anxious: "Since these things have been done, what are you worried about?"

Chen Chanjuan looked left and right, and there were always some worries in her heart.

The Queen Mother winked at the female officials beside her.

The female officers all stepped back and closed the door.

The Queen Mother coughed and said, "There is no one else this time." Gu County Lord, she is not an outsider, and she will not spoil your business. Just tell me anything. ”

Gu Zizhong also comforted the Queen Mother's meaning: "Sister Chen, don't worry, the Queen Mother will make decisions for you." ”

Chen Chanjuan thought about it, and finally couldn't help it, she knelt down all of a sudden, kowtowed a few times to the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, don't be weird about your old man, in fact...... Before I entered the palace, I had already made a lifelong agreement with Yan Shizi. ”

What the?

Gu Zizhong couldn't believe what he had just heard.

She and Yan Pingnan have settled for life?

Why hadn't Gu Zizhong heard of this in his previous life?

Besides, Yan Pingnan is a well-known flowery person, he is a pervert from young to old, how can he promise anything to a woman?

Gu Zizhong didn't believe it, and at the same time, the Queen Mother was also stunned.

Chen Chanjuan kowtowed again and again, and said: "Chanjuan is performing in her hometown, and she doesn't want to meet Yan Shizi by chance, but the prince admires me, so he has made a lifelong agreement with me." I was but a woman of the people, and how could I be my own lord......? So ......"

Then there was another sob, and she couldn't go on.

The Queen Mother's chest swelled more and more, but slowly retracted.

After enduring her anger for a long time, the Queen Mother forcibly lowered her voice and said, "Does the emperor know about this?"

Chen Chanjuan shook her head.

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "Evil, this emperor, what to do is becoming more and more unreliable." ”

Therefore, Chen Chanjuan first met Yan Pingnan, and then met the emperor.

This woman met two nobles one after another, and her luck was also very good.

But things must be reversed!

Could it be that Chen Chanjuan was given death in her previous life because of this?

Gu Zizhong's heart suddenly had a 180-degree turn.

She thought that Concubine Wu's gang had harmed her and mutilated her to death.

Now that I think about it, that's not how it happened.

Maybe the emperor gave her a death, precisely because of this.

By the way, as soon as she died in her previous life, the palace was quiet for a long time.

Yan Pingnan also returned to the imperial court eight or nine years later.
