Within a few days, the news that Gu Sanniang had a fetal gas, as if she had grown wings, flew to the ears of the ladies of the family in the capital, and Gu Sanniang was forced to bow down to everyone that day, but many people saw it on the spot. It is reported that after hearing this, Concubine An also sent an edict to Gu Sanniang, ordering her to sew obscene clothes for herself, you need to know that there are educated people in Beijing, who dares to act so arrogantly? Sure enough, it didn't take long for there to be rumors that the imperial doctors of the Jiang Mansion had changed one after another that day, and in the evening, some people witnessed that the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion solemnly returned all the things sent by Concubine An to An Mansion.

In the end, this turmoil gradually changed a little, and the powerful people in the capital, who didn't know the details of Concubine An? She humiliated the stepfamily of the eldest prince of the Jiang family like this, isn't it just like those jealous women in the inner courtyard, however, if Concubine An wants to be jealous, she should also be strong with those concubines in the three palaces and six courts, where is this careless and mistaken object to put Emperor Jingwen in?

People who can't see through, only think that these are harmless little things in the inner curtain, people who can see through it, find that this matter is vaguely pointed at today's saint, sure enough, the next day, there is an upright old counselor in the court to the Jingwen Emperor, first of all, Concubine An was criticized, scolded her for being narrow-minded, domineering, difficult to be a model for the harem concubines, this old counselor also wrote a sincere exhortation to the emperor, he not only persuaded Emperor Jingwen to stay away from the demon concubine like An, at the end of the article also persuaded, hindering the virtuous and jealous, the emperor concealed it, And don't worry about it being harmful to the holy government.

After reading this edict, Emperor Jingwen was immediately so angry that he jumped into the thunder, if someone hadn't stopped him, the old counselor would have already fallen to the ground, and he dared to say that he was jealous of the virtuous, who was he jealous of? Who is this virtuous person referring to?

The official is not guilty, if Emperor Jingwen really killed the disgusting old horseman, he fell into a reputation for being a guilty person, and even confirmed his stigma of hindering the virtuous and jealous, but in the end it was the Shen clumsy behind him, Emperor Jingwen couldn't kill and kill, and the anger in his heart had to be sprinkled out, and the first to bear the brunt was Concubine An, the initiator.

The palace is full of ears and eyes, Concubine An was reprimanded and grounded by Emperor Jingwen, and soon spread to the mansions, the An family must not temporarily restrain the edge, dare not give Concubine An any more eyes, and regardless of the gossip outside, just say that Concubine An, although she is banned in the palace, in the end is the lover of Emperor Jingwen's heart, and no one dares to be harsh on the food and clothing in the palace, but she has been used to it smoothly in this half of her life, but today she is planted in the hands of Gu, a country woman, but whenever she thinks of this, she can't help but make her angry.

As early as when she learned that the woman Shen Zhuo remarried was born lowly, Concubine An had some mixed feelings in her heart, she knew that her fate with Shen Zhuo was exhausted, but there were countless princesses in the capital, who was he not good to marry, he wanted to marry a widow, could it be the position of the grandmother of the Jiang family, a cat and a dog could do it?

It happened that there was a banquet in the palace that day, Concubine An recognized the jewelry worn by Gu Sanniang at a glance, which naturally reminded her of an old thing, it turned out that An's had just married into the Jiang family, and once, she and Shen Zhuo counted Shen's relics together, and took a fancy to the tourmaline jewelry, who knew that Shen Zhuo said that it was her mother's love before her death, and refused to give it to her, which is okay, why is Gu Sanniang wearing it on her head now? Could it be that she is not as good as a widow? Besides, this woman does not know the law of respect and humility, if she does not teach her a lesson, will not everyone be able to deceive her.

The only thing she didn't expect was that Gu Sanniang was pregnant, but she hated Shen Zhuo for not remembering the old feelings at all, which made her lose face and end up being grounded by the emperor, as long as she thought of this, Concubine An hated Gu Sanniang more and more.

Not to mention the disputes outside, the Jiang family is full of joy, Gu Sanniang is pregnant, not only Shen Zhuo is overjoyed, but even Jiang Zhongming's face is rarely smiling, he and Shen Zhuo have their own knots, although they live under the same roof, the two rarely look at each other, Jiang Zhongming is not close to his son, and he still loves the grandson of the next generation.

Their heirs are thin, there is only one royal brother in the junior, and he was changed his surname by Shen Zhuo, moved out of the family tree, Princess Jichang and Jiang Zhenyan have been married for many years, and they have not met many times, so how to talk about heirs, as for Jiang Jinyan and Sun, they are newly married, Jiang Jinyan was sent to Changyang again, it is normal for Sun to have no good news, and now Gu Sanniang suddenly came with a happy letter, Princess Jichang and Sun are also happy for her.

There has been no happy event in the house for a long time, Princess Jichang who Jiang Zhongming handed over to the housekeeper, as long as it is the family of Jiang Mansion, each person will be rewarded with three months of monthly money, and the East Courtyard will allocate a few more capable servants to serve, Gu Sanniang didn't feel anything, but the child was not born, and there was such a big fanfare in the house, and there was another imperial doctor who came to ask for the pulse every day, how could she have experienced this? Therefore, the whole person couldn't help but be a little restless, lest something go wrong, and he wouldn't be able to explain to the Jiang family and Shen Zhuo at that time.

Shen Zhuo saw Gu Sanniang's thoughts, and told her not to take it to heart, as long as she had a good birth, on this day, Jiang Zhongming sent someone to invite Shen Zhuo and a few daughters-in-law to have dinner together, he and Shen Zhuo had a table, and Gu Sanniang and several of their daughters sat in the back room.

There are Sun and Xiao Yezi in the back room, several women are very happy to talk and laugh, Jiang Zhongming and Shen Zhuo, the father and son, have nothing to do with each other when they eat, almost no words, halfway through, the servant woman brought a plate of charcoal donkey elbow, Shen Zhuo casually said to the servant woman who served the food: "Tell the grandmother, let her eat less of this thing." ”

The servant woman smiled: "The kitchen has long been instructed to make food for the eldest grandmother." ”

Having said that, the servant woman still turned around and went into the house to pass the word to Gu Sanniang, Jiang Zhongming glanced at Shen Zhuo, and retracted his gaze without saying a word, he was not in good health, and half of the food on the table was to be taboo, if it wasn't for the family getting together, he would normally eat separately from them.

After the servant finished speaking, Sun blinked at Gu Sanniang a few times, and she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, uncle is really considerate to you." ”

Gu Sanniang deliberately glared at her and said, "Jin Sanye is inconsiderate to you? It's only been a few days, and then I come back with a letter from home, asking you to read it to us, but you don't want to hear it, what sweet words are said in it? ”

Sun's mouth was embarrassed 'belch', a red glow flew on his face, Princess Jichang on the side looked at her silently and the two of them, it was inevitable that she was a little bitter, she and Jiang Zhenyan were separated from each other, Jiang Zhenyan was a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, even if she waited for many years, she couldn't warm his heart, thinking that she left her hometown to marry in the capital, and is still alone, Princess Jichang couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.

"Second sister-in-law." Sun looked at the stunned Princess Jichang cautiously, she got carried away, she forgot that her second uncle was not a good person, and let Princess Jichang stay alone in the empty boudoir, and she didn't come back to take a look after all these years.

Gu Sanniang had just entered the mansion not long ago, and she had not heard of the entanglement between Princess Jichang and Jiang Zhenyan, and when she saw Princess Jichang's cold face, she knew that there must be something inside, but it was inconvenient for her to ask, so she also calmed down together.

The cheerful atmosphere in the room faded, and Sun secretly regretted it, and at this moment, there was a movement from outside, and Princess Jichang asked, "What happened?" ”

After a while, a daughter-in-law came in and replied, "The decree has come." ”

Gu Sanniang and the others were shocked, and several of them looked at each other, and no one could care about the careful thoughts just now.

At this time, the eunuch who delivered the decree had entered Jiang's mansion, Jiang Zhongming put down the chopsticks in his hand, he and Shen Zhuo glanced at each other, and the two of them somewhat guessed the meaning of the holy decree.

"It seems that the emperor is going to back down." Shen Zhuo said.

Jiang Zhongming said unhurriedly: "Several princes in the capital have promoted you one after another, coupled with the rumors and rumors a few days ago, how can he still calm down and alchemy." ”

"Master, the incense case has been laid down." Jiang Zhongming's entourage stood outside the door and replied.

Jiang Zhongming bowed slightly, he changed into his official uniform, and went to the outer courtyard with Shen Zhuo to receive the order.

It is only said that Jiang Zhongming and his father and son went, leaving a few female relatives in a panic, the remnants of the house have long been removed, Princess Jichang ordered someone to stay outside and wait for the transmission, after a while, the Wang family entered the house, Gu Sanniang saw that her face was full of joy, and the hanging heart finally fell back into her stomach, she asked: "I don't know what the emperor's will is?" ”

Youwang said with a smile: "The emperor said that our uncle is a rare talent, and he should be appointed as the son of the country." ”

Sun held Gu Sanniang's hand, and she said with a smile: "It's okay now, it's only a matter of time before the sister-in-law seals the decree." ”

"It's still early." It was Shen Zhuo who entered the room, he chuckled lightly, and said to Gu Sanniang: "If you want to be the priest of this country, I need to win sixteen people in three days to count." ”

Gu Sanniang was confused, she asked: "What's the reason for this, you still have to quarrel as an official?" ”

It's no wonder that Gu Sanniang didn't have knowledge, even Shen Zhuo was ridiculous when he received the holy decree, seeing that the call for recommending Shen Zhuo in the court was getting higher and higher, where could Emperor Jingwen pretend to turn a blind eye, it just so happened that Concubine An gave people a handle at this time, and once the excerpts of the officials in the previous days flowed out, Emperor Jingwen had to make this holy decree.

It's just that he wants Shen Zhuo to make the Guozi priest wine lightly, and Emperor Jingwen is unwilling, so he uses Shen Zhuo's resume as a vacancy as a reason to set up a debate three days later, as long as Shen Zhuo wins, he can become an official, if he loses, no one is allowed to mention this from now on.

Sun Shi said in surprise: "One person debates with sixteen people, my God, how can this be won?" ”

Everyone in the room said that Emperor Jingwen was deliberately embarrassed, but Gu Sanniang recalled that when he first entered the Jiang Mansion, Brother Yu had no intention of turning to Shen Zhuo's book, and what he was best at seemed to be arguing with the ancients.
