(NEW)
The maid turned around and explained, "He can't write, he just gestures with his hands, and he can hear us." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Gu was a little disappointed, thinking that he could read from the notes, but found that he couldn't write.
She thought that she should stop paying attention to this person, otherwise it would arouse Jinrong's alarm and cause him unnecessary trouble.
Jin Rong called all the women in the harem over.
"I haven't asked too much of you, and I'm sure you all know about her existence, and now I've made it clear that don't try to hurt her, and if I see anyone involved, don't even think about getting away with it."
As if they had discussed, several imperial concubines all stood up and knelt in front of them.
"Concubines obey the holy will."
Jin Rong frowned, if the leader was in his position, he didn't mean to get up after saluting, what did they want to do?
"If you have something to say, you can say it now, don't wait for the time to do some small things."
After Jin Rong spoke, sure enough, a concubine spoke, she was the concubine who had gotten along with Gu.
"If Your Majesty likes Miss Gu, you can give her a name and let her become our sister, the harem has always been harmonious, what does Your Majesty have to worry about?"
This is also strange to them, in the past, the emperor chose a concubine, it was not a strange thing, but this time not only did not give a name, but also specially built a garden for her, since she appeared, His Majesty has not pampered any concubine, this is what they care about.
"Whether she is a concubine or not is not something you have to worry about, as long as you do your duty."
Considering that he was reluctant to enter the palace, this was also a headache for him, but then he thought about it, there were many concubines in the palace, and there was no need to add her, he hoped that they were an ordinary couple and lived a simple life.
Several concubines looked at each other, and in the end, it was Concubine Ming who spoke first.
"Your Majesty likes other women, and the concubines are also happy for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty once said that the harem sisters are the same regardless of identity and background, why hasn't Your Majesty come to the harem much recently, aren't the sisters in line with the holy will?"
"I didn't come to the harem, I was just everyone, and I didn't favor any woman alone, so I didn't break my promise, as for the Gu family, she is not an imperial concubine to me, and naturally she doesn't need to be bound by the rules of the palace, if any of you don't want to be an imperial concubine anymore, you can say it, I will fulfill you, let you also become ordinary women, and feel the suffering of the people."
Concubine Ming was not talking, and everyone had thought about other questions, but now they couldn't ask them.
Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rong didn't have anything abnormal, neither seemed flustered nor happy, but like everyone, they both retreated after saluting.
In order that they would not be idle, Jin Rong decreed that an exam should be held in a month to personally test the studies of all the princes and princesses, so that they, the birth mothers, would have something to do.
After Jin Rong left, Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rong got together again, only this time there were Concubine Ming and Concubine Shu, and the four of them wandered around the garden together, discussing the current matter.
"I don't know what Your Majesty means, and I don't give a name, but I protect it, although that Gu family didn't do anything, but I always feel awkward when I think about it." Concubine Ming said.
"After all, she is from Luoguo, and she married Prince Mu before, although she was abolished by Empress Dowager Yi, but it doesn't sound good to say it after all, and it is normal for Your Majesty to have concerns." Xiufei explained.
"But where is our majesty who cares about other people's thoughts? If you like it, don't you get married? Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Xiu and Concubine Rong, they were also controversial when they first entered the palace, and now they have also given birth to princes and princesses, and they are on an equal footing?
Concubine Xiu knew what she meant, everyone had always thought that she was Kefu, and her husband had been dead for only three years, and she was named the imperial concubine, she never felt that this was a bad thing, but thought that this was His Majesty's favor for her.
Concubine Rong's status is humble, but the two princes she gave birth to are very good and well-behaved, and her mother and son are also more respectful to her in the palace.
"That Gu is not a good type, before she entered the palace, she let Her Majesty protect her like this, and she will marry in the future, I don't know what it will trample us on, she didn't have a good impression of us originally, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's words today are all instructed by her." Concubine Ming guessed.
"Hey, it seems that this Gu family will become the imperial concubine sooner or later, let's go and show a good thing, lest we see each other in the future, and everyone will have any suspicions."
After Concubine Rong finished speaking, Concubine Shu and Concubine Ming's faces were obviously not good, both of them were famous families in Yunguo, and their families had imperial concubines, and even their fathers had many officials in the court, but they entered the palace relatively late, but they were young and beautiful, and many people felt that they would receive more favor.
"Wait until she becomes the imperial concubine, didn't Your Majesty say that she won't enter the palace? Is it necessary for us to fold our identity for the sake of a common citizen? Concubine Ming was a little unconvinced.
Concubine Shu didn't speak, and with an ugly face, she left with the maid first, it seemed that everyone was unhappy, and Concubine Xiu already had a plan in her heart.
"There are still a few sisters, my sister and I will go and see it separately, in this way, there will be more resentment in everyone's hearts, and it will not be difficult to deal with the Gu family when the time comes. The so-called law does not blame the public, Your Majesty will never abolish the entire harem for her alone. Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Xiu.
"It's going to be winter hunting soon, Your Majesty will take the courtiers to Jiyan Mountain to live for half a month, this is our best opportunity, sister must seize the opportunity."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then each returned to his palace.
Jin Rong went to the small building after the next day, Gu Li was studying the recipe, when he came, Gu Li was busy in the kitchen, and he didn't notice that there was another person behind him.
"Is the food not to taste? Do you still need to cook it yourself? ”
Gu turned around and saluted, smiled and said, "The food is delicious, but I want to see if there are any other ways." ”
"The dishes you cooked at Baili Zhengde's birthday banquet were delicious, and I also gave you a string of hand beads, I don't know if you still remember."
"I like that string of hand beads very much, but after I went to the underworld, I lost it inexplicably."
Jin Rong took out a box in his hand and handed it to her: "If you like it, take it." ”
After looking at him, he was going to bring the beads back to her wrist, and originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the previous bet, she gladly accepted Jinrong's overture.
Only then can she win the gamble and be free.
"By the way, there is something I would like to ask Your Majesty." Gu looked up at him, expectant in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
