Section 454 disregarded

Everything was undecided, and Concubine De cried in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had a little headache.

She felt that Concubine De was making a big fuss.

She almost got angry.

In a blink of an eye, the Queen Mother thought of what happened to Concubine De's sister Gu in the Yuan family. When the Queen Mother thought of those things, she still felt cold, and she was not worth it for the Gu family.

Therefore, it is understandable that Concubine De is so resistant to the Yuan family and feels that none of the Yuan family's children are good people. The Queen Mother can understand her.

However, it is not Concubine De's turn to call the shots in this matter, and even the Queen Mother can only help with the details, not point fingers.

The princess chooses a son-in-law, and non-ordinary families choose a son-in-law, and the inner house can also talk nonsense. The princess chooses a son-in-law, this is a major matter of the court, and the harem is not allowed to interfere.

Distress is distress, rules are rules.

The Queen Mother hardened her heart and straightened her face.

Concubine De is not blindly crying, she also pays attention to the Queen Mother's movements from time to time.

Crying is just a means to an end.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, and there was no movement at all, Concubine De boldly raised her head and glanced at the Queen Mother. In her teary eyes, she could also see the Queen Mother's cold expression.

Concubine De's heart tightened slightly, and her cry was low, slowly turning into a thin whimper.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed slowly and said to Concubine De: "You feel sorry for Yongchun, and the mourning family knows it." Not to mention that the matter is inconclusive, even if it is, it is from the overall situation. You cry here, and you spread the word, but you don't know the severity. ”

This is to tell Concubine De to remember the rules.

Concubine De's hand was clenched tightly.

Her mind was spinning rapidly.

She was busy kowtowing to the Queen Mother to make amends: "It's the concubine who is frivolous." It's just that the concubine really can't let go of it. The Queen Mother, Yongchun's marriage, the concubines are all up to you......"

"Foolish!" The Queen Mother's voice was slightly raised, interrupting Concubine De. "The princess's choice of a son-in-law is a major matter for the court, what is the master of the mourning family?"

Concubine De finally understood what she had done wrong.

It's not that the Queen Mother doesn't want to care. It's inconvenient to manage.

If you cry like this, if you make a fuss. spread the word, and it became inconvenient for the Queen Mother to even intervene secretly. Concubine De understood this truth, immediately stopped crying, and kowtowed to the Queen Mother again: "It was the concubine who spoke recklessly and begged the Queen Mother to punish her." ”

The Queen Mother saw it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine De was able to understand so much, which surprised the Queen Mother. all these years. Concubine De has grown a lot.

"Get up." The Queen Mother said to Concubine De.

Concubine De said yes and stood up.

The Queen Mother asked Aunt Cheng to help Concubine De sit down.

Concubine De sat down.

At this time, the Queen Mother lowered her voice and said to Concubine De: "The children in this palace." is smart and clever, and no one can go beyond Yongchun. Not to mention the emperor, even the mourning family is full of love for her. Choosing a son-in-law is not something that can be done in a day. The mourning family is taken to heart. You can be relieved first......"

Concubine De said respectfully again.

The Queen Mother promised to take care of it.

But Concubine De's heart did not let go.

She felt that things were a little strange.

She told her a thousand times that the Gu family should pay attention to the primary election of the Ministry of Rites. Uncle is now in power, can't he even fight against the newly powerful Yuan Yuye?

Why did Yuan Xun pass the primary?

Concubine De wanted to meet Gu Jinzhi.

Now the one who can speak for her is Gu Jinzhi.

Return to Gyeongwagong Palace. Concubine De began to pretend to be sick and asked Gu Jinzhi to come to the palace tomorrow to see her.

This time, the Queen Mother did not agree.

****

Gu Jinzhi also paid attention to the affairs of the third princess at all times.

Originally, she didn't want to worry about it.

But the Yuan family participated in it, which made Gu Jinzhi pay attention to it.

Then, from Zhu Zhongjun, she heard that the children of the Yuan family had passed the primary election.

Gu Jinzhi's reaction was not much different from that of the Queen Mother and Concubine De, she was very surprised, and she felt surprised.

Why didn't Uncle even do this well?

Although the crown prince is in charge of the country, he can have a shallow foundation in the court. The uncle has been entrenched in the DPRK for many years, and this little thing can't be endured, which makes people feel abnormal.

“…… Did my uncle do it on purpose? Gu Jinzhi asked Zhu Zhongjun abruptly.

Zhu Zhongjun smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.

Gu Jinzhi affirmed Sancheng in his heart.

"My uncle didn't make a move at all?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

Zhu Zhongjun finally spoke: "Everyone has their own plans. Your uncle made a move, but he and Concubine De were not of the same mind, and he didn't do his best. ”

Gu Jinzhi knew that the direction he guessed was not wrong.

“…… Your uncle, I wish the Yuan family could have the third princess. Zhu Zhongjun said meaningfully.

Gu Jinzhi groaned slightly, and he also understood.

She sighed silently in her heart.

"The third princess is the emperor's favorite." Gu Jinzhi sighed helplessly, "What happened to my fourth sister back then, the whole capital knows about it. When the emperor came back and knew that the third princess had married into the Yuan family, my uncle would send someone to participate in the Yuan family and stir up some gossip. The emperor felt sorry for his beloved daughter, and the rice had become a cook, so he was helpless, but he was afraid that he would be angry. When the time comes, not only will they be dissatisfied with the Yuan family, but even the crown prince will be counted. My uncle has a good calculation. ”

Zhu Zhongjun nodded and said, "I guess your uncle is also fighting this idea." The Yuan family has Yuan Yuye first, and it can't be regarded as a clean white family at all. Back then, the Yuan family framed your fourth sister for murdering the child, and there is still no explanation. When the emperor came back, he sent someone to stir up trouble between the princess and the concubine, the princess entered the palace and cried, and the courtiers added fuel to the fire, and the Yuan family's qi was over. ”

"What a ploy." Gu Jinzhi, "But I wronged the third princess......"

Zhu Zhongjun was silent.

His opinion on this matter is different from Gu Jinzhi's.

"In this matter, your uncle has no original sin." Zhu Zhongjun finally said, "The one who wants to marry the third princess is the Yuan family; Those who want to elevate the Yuan family are the prince and Yuan Yuye. If the third princess is not doing well, it is also Yuan Xun's fault. Your uncle is just pushing the boat down the river and burying hidden dangers. ”

"I didn't say it was my uncle's fault." Gu Jinzhi sighed softly, "I'm just pitiful to the third princess. Concubine De entrusted me with all her strength to let the Gu family finish this matter, she is going to be disappointed......"

"She is entrusting the Gu family, not you." Zhu Zhongjun's voice was a little cold, "Gu Jinzhi, you are too sincere to people. That's what I said at the time. You shouldn't promise anything to Concubine De. ”

Gu Jinzhi turned his head, looked at Zhu Zhongjun, and said slowly: "I'm not here to be reckless. only agreed to Concubine De. Just because, the third princess is also a woman. If something happens to King Jin. I can ignore it. You are a man, and you don't know the hardships of women. If I can help the third princess, even if I am complained about, I am willing to ......"

Zhu Zhongjun's heart moved slightly.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched Gu Jinzhi's face, and treated her like a child.

His fingertips were warm.

"Gu Jinzhi, live with me. You don't have to worry about those so-called hardships. Zhu Zhongjun said cautiously.

Gu Jinzhi's heart was suddenly touched.

She laughed.

"I believe it." Gu Jin's way.

The summer night wind, warm and warm, blew in through the window. The candle jumps gently, like someone's heart.

The smile on Gu Jinzhi's face couldn't be hidden.

She quietly bowed her head.

Zhu Zhongjun deliberately teased her, raised her chin, and said, "It's really useless." Say two nice words and you'll be overjoyed. Do you know that a man's words can't count at all? ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled even sweeter.

She said, "You're different. Your words count. I never doubted you. ”

Zhu Zhongjun's playful smile was slightly retracted.

He leaned over and kissed Gu Jinzhi's lips gently.

"Thank you for trusting me." He said.

Gu Jinzhi held his hand tightly.

****

The marriage of the three princesses. After the primary election of the Ministry of Rites, it was set on the first day of the eighth month, and the eunuch of the celebrant was responsible for the re-selection.

Concubine De is now like an ant on a hot pot, and she can't sit still.

She wanted to know which of the eunuchs the prince would appoint.

The people of the Gu family, she can't see it.

Even Gu Jinzhi and the Queen Mother didn't let Concubine De see her. It is estimated that the Queen Mother also finds it tricky and doesn't want Gu Jinzhi to be involved.

The Queen Mother is very partial to Gu Jinzhi.

Concubine De's silver teeth were crushed, and there was no one to support.

Finally, she thought of her son, King Jin.

She asked King Jin to inquire about the news.

The king of Jin was very afraid of the crown prince.

As soon as he heard that his mother asked him to go to the East Palace, he immediately dodged and said: "Mother, before my father set out on the expedition, let me practice calligraphy with Imperial Doctor Qin, if I don't write well, my father will come back and scold me." ”

And then he ran away.

Concubine De stomped her feet in anger.

Then I thought that King Jin was too young to be able to do it thoroughly.

The more Concubine De thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

Thinking of the matter of the fourth sister, Concubine De hated the Yuan family to the core.

Let her send her daughter to the enemy's house?

She hated that the Yuan family was quarreled and exterminated, so that she could relieve Concubine De's hatred.

In her mother's house, the only person Concubine De is close to is the fourth girl, Gu Shanzhi.

She had to beg the Queen Mother again.

In Renshou Palace, Concubine De actually met Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also entered the palace to inquire about the news.

The Queen Mother deliberately didn't want Gu Jinzhi and Concubine De to meet, but also to keep Gu Jinzhi and King Luyang out of the matter, and there was no need to compete with the prince.

But Gu Jinzhi seems to be more inclined to Concubine De.

“…… Queen Mother, I would like to say a few words to Concubine De. Gu Jinzhi said directly to the Queen Mother and did not hide it.

The Queen Mother hesitated and said helplessly: "Go ahead." ”

Gu Jinzhi and Concubine De came out of Renshou Palace and went to Jinghe Palace.

On the way, Concubine De didn't say anything.

When she arrived at Jinghe Palace, Concubine De sent her left and right, and only then began to talk to Gu Jinzhi about her worries.

"Have you heard, Yuan Xun entered the primary?" Concubine De asked Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi nodded: "I heard about it." I entered the palace today to discuss this matter with my mother......"

"Have you ever seen your aunt?" Concubine De asked anxiously, "What did the eldest aunt say, was it inconvenient to do anything during the primary election?" Selected again, is the uncle sure that Yuan Xun will be excluded? ”

Gu Jinzhi was slightly silent.

“…… Why, you haven't seen your aunt yet? Concubine De became nervous.

She's in the deep palace, and her ideas are a little limited.

Gu Jinzhi didn't know how to say it.

After thinking about it, Gu Jinzhi covered up for the uncle: "I haven't seen the eldest aunt." Niangniang, the prince supports the third princess's choice of son-in-law, and the uncle can't get past the prince. If the children of the Yuan family pass the second selection, they will undoubtedly be concubines. The day after tomorrow is the first day of August, who will go to the Zhuwang Pavilion for the second selection, have you inquired? ”
