Gu Zhen knew that since the eldest princess of Ming Hui had stood with the regent in the temple and engaged in Chunjia, she must have hostility towards this heir brother in her heart.

But she didn't expect her to react like this, after all, the eldest princess had a good impression in the minds of the concubines who entered the palace at Chunjia's wedding.

At that time, Concubine Zhenxi, one of Ji Sheng's favorite concubines, also showed that Princess Hui Chang was a good person, and she would help to break the siege and intercede when Ji Sheng made things difficult for her concubines.

And over the years, Gu Zhen has also received similar assistance from Princess Minghui.

So for the eldest princess's reaction, she was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and hurriedly reassured: "Your Highness, don't think like this, Your Majesty definitely doesn't mean this, just think that Your Highness also has ......"

"This palace is the princess of the Gongxiang clan, even if she stays in the palace until she is a hundred years old, it is also raised by the ancestors of the Gongxiang clan, is it difficult that His Majesty raised it with you?" Eldest Princess Minghui interrupted her unceremoniously and sneered, "Can you manage it with Your Majesty?" ”

He also said that Gu Zhen was ungrateful, "When the queen mother was still the queen mother, she was very disciplined, and you and Concubine Zhenxi and a few others were not dignified and respectful enough, and they were often disgusted by the queen mother. At that time, you all swore that it was good to remember this palace. The result? Where were you when the Queen Mother set herself on fire? Who remembers when Hongu was alone in the palace? Now, even in this palace, this palace is not allowed to stay? This palace tells you that although the father and queen mother are gone, this palace is not at your mercy! This palace will not marry! You have the ability to choose someone at will, and tie up the palace and stuff it over! ”

Gu Zhen's heart was blocked when he heard this, and he was reminded by these words of the memory of the former concubine Ji Sheng was still the queen mother, and Chunjia was not yet in power.

At that time, the eldest princess Minghui was afraid that she was the most carefree one in this palace.

It's only been a year or two, and the lady of the sky, the golden branches and jade leaves have become as sensitive, thoughtful and extreme as before, to be honest, as a person who watched Minghui grow up, Gu Zhen has sympathy for her in his heart.

Shuren Ji Sheng has thousands of bad things, at least when she was alive, when she was in power, she maintained this daughter very well.

Sympathy is followed by grievance.

Yes, compared to Ji Sheng, the eldest prince of Minghui at that time was much more likable.

As a person who had received the favor of the eldest princess Minghui, Gu Zhen was not ungrateful to this imperial daughter.

But the problem is that when Ji Sheng had a seizure, he was silent in the palace, and as his own daughter who was deeply favored by Ji Sheng, there was no risk for Minghui to come forward to solve the siege.

And what about this mother and daughter when they are in crisis?

In that case, where is Gu Zhen's place to speak?

If she really thought about the affection of the eldest princess Minghui and stepped forward to help intercede, let alone herself, even the Gu family would be deeply affected.

Chunjia kept saying that the destruction of the Ji family was not what he wanted, but it was just the regent's impulse, but afterwards he united with the regent and instructed the Luo family, the Ouyang family, the Meng family, and the Yin family to purge the remnants of the Ji Party of the government and the opposition, but they were not soft at all.

If Gu Zhen said something that shouldn't be said in this process, who knows what kind of impact the Gu family will have?

"Your Highness, it's not like that." Gu Zhen endured the grievances, persuaded Princess Minghui to calm down, and listened to herself, "I have always remembered the friendship of His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness was in the palace at the time, and the news of Miyagi probably did not know well enough." At that time, the front and harem were all in the same place, I was just a mere lady, and even the former queen was confined to Yanfu Palace in disguise, what could I do? If I can repay Your Highness, why am I unwilling? This time His Majesty ordered, I really want to find a wishful husband for His Highness. ”

The eldest princess of Minghui sneered slightly, and said, "Oh, Your Majesty ordered it, do you really want to find a wishful husband for this palace?" So, if it wasn't for His Majesty mentioning it, you wouldn't have mentioned it? Are you deliberately watching the palace in the palace for a long time, or have you forgotten the palace in the morning and can't remember it at all? ”

Gu Zhen hurriedly said, "How could I forget the great events of His Highness's life? But thinking that it has only been more than a year since Ling Tang passed away, he is afraid that His Royal Highness is still sad, so he doesn't dare to say more. ”

He also said, "I keep in mind the kindness of His Highness, how can I have malicious intentions towards His Highness?" ”

"Why don't you harbor ill will towards Hongu?" The eldest princess Minghui asked rhetorically, "At the beginning, when the queen mother was still there, even if you were the queen concubine, when you arrived at Mianfu Palace, who was not trembling, respectful?" This palace is far inferior to you in terms of talent and appearance, but because of the queen mother, you dare not respect this palace. Even in order to have the help of the palace to intercede when the queen mother has a seizure, you all show special affection for the palace in private. As a result, the queen mother is gone, and you don't need to please the palace anymore, and even, because of some of the instructions of the queen mother before, you can't wait to find a place from the palace, right? ”

She sneered, too lazy to listen to Gu Zhen's words, and only said that she had seen through it, and in this palace, it was the atmosphere of stepping on low and worshipping high with red tops and whites.

Even if you are the queen mother and the eldest princess, once you lose your position of power, you are also muddy on the soles of your feet and are trampled on arbitrarily.

Let Gu Zhen not pretend.

Anyway, when she was in the most difficult time, this successor had no intention of helping like she died, so what did she do when she ran out to cheat the corpse?

Isn't it good to continue to be honest and be a dead man?

Minghui also mentioned Yun Fenghuang and said, "At this time, if the concubine comes to the palace to talk about this marriage, the palace will feel more comfortable, because the palace has not said anything good to the concubine." And the concubine is not coaxing the palace, in comparison, the concubine is much more real than you! ”

After she vented, she stood up directly and left, and before leaving, she kicked over the banquet that Gu Zhen had carefully prepared to entertain her.

"Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess must have said this on purpose." Waiting for this to leave, Gu Zhen endured and endured, but couldn't help crying, and asked left and right, is he really not good, even the eldest princess thinks that she is not as good as Yun Fenghuan?

Of course, the left and right denied it, and persuaded her, "After all, in the past two days, you have received the power of the six palaces of the concubine Niangniang, and the former dynasty and the harem have spread all over the palace, where does Her Royal Highness the eldest princess not know?" As you know, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has listened to the instigation of the regent, and these days, she has not been very harmonious with His Majesty. ”

"Yes, Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is now willing to work against Your Majesty, how can she have good intentions towards Your Majesty's concubine? She was deliberately instigating. You must know that the concubine doesn't have much respect for the concubine Ji Sheng, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, as the biological daughter of the concubine Ji Sheng, will have a good impression of the concubine? How can it be said that the concubine is good? ”

This view is actually reasonable, Guan Minghui's actions during this period of time have always been obedient to the words of the Empress Dowager and the Regent, how to block Chunjia.

So it was reasonable for her to take advantage of Gu Zhen's invitation to her as a guest to add fire to Chunjia's already not very good relationship with the concubine.

But Gu Zhen still couldn't stand the eldest princess saying that she was not as good as the concubine...... Even so, she still had to endure her grievances and resentment and go to apologize to Chunjia.

Because she didn't get things done, she didn't say anything, and she could even say that she messed up.

Chunjia listened to the process and the result, and his heart did not fluctuate, he knew that the queen could not get the eldest princess of Minghui here, otherwise he would not have handed over this mission to the queen.

"It seems that Minghui has a deep prejudice against us." The emperor didn't have an immediate seizure, he said to the queen with a pleasant face, "But the marriage event can't let her go on so willfully, otherwise in three or two years, she will wake up and regret it, but what should I do?" ”

Gu Zhen couldn't show the indifference and humility and arrogance of the past two days in front of him at this moment, and cautiously asked: "Then, regardless of the thoughts of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, continue to choose Ruyi Langjun for her?" ”

"Isn't this too arbitrary and tyrannical, and the more annoying Minghui dislikes?" Chunjia shook her head disapprovingly, "What good is it for me to have a brother-sister relationship with her, and your friendship with her sister-in-law?" ”

“…… What does Your Majesty mean? ”

Chunjia glanced at her with some disappointment, the disappointment at this glance was very obvious, even if Gu Zhen lowered her eyebrows, she could also detect it, and she subconsciously clenched her hands.

Just listened to the emperor be silent for a moment, and then sighed, and said in the tone of "Empress, why are you so stupid, you hate iron and steel": "Minghui has a deep prejudice against us, if you ask her so directly, she either refuses to say it, or she says angry words, but she is not like this to everyone, you choose someone who has no preconceptions and is willing to tell the truth, don't you delay things?" ”

Gu Zhen subconsciously said: "Your Majesty wants the concubine to go to the concubine for advice?" ”

She regretted it before she said this, and when she looked up, she saw that Chunjia was also looking at her with a look of surprise and wonder.

The emperor and queen looked at each other for a moment, Gu Zhen calmed down, and said in frustration: "The concubine body has just been in a trance...... The concubine will go to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye after a while. ”

“…… It's not just the Queen Mother. Chunjia was quite speechless and instructed, "There are also people who are waiting in front of Minghui, when you are not on duty, you can also inquire in private." The first emperor is such a concubine, and now she is the only one in the palace who is marriageable and unmarried, so we must be more attentive to be worthy of the favor of the first emperor. ”

Gu Zhen came out of the awakening hall and almost didn't cry.

It's not just that she was confused and said that it was Yun Fenghuang who thought Minghui was "willing to tell the truth without prejudices", so she felt embarrassed, but also because she didn't want to see the concubine now, but she didn't want to see the queen mother either.

She still remembered the last time the Empress Dowager specially left her and proposed to let Minghui descend to the children of the Gu family.

At this time, I went to see the Empress Dowager and asked her about Minghui's marriage, what should she do if the Empress Dowager brought up the old words again?

Or does the Empress Dowager hate this matter and is unwilling to help?

She returned to Woxia Tower gloomily, and after a long struggle, she asked people to prepare for the Empress Dowager and go to the Queen Mother.

After all, you can't hide.

As a result, this trip was even more tragic than she thought, and she didn't know if Princess Minghui received the news in advance, or if it was so coincidental.

When she passed, Minghui was in front of the Empress Dowager to say goodbye.

The Empress Dowager is of course very fond of her granddaughter, or her granddaughter with her own mother's blood, hugging Minghui and shouting "heart and liver", all kinds of doting and obedient.

Gu Zhen walked in and saw this scene, and before he finished the salute, before he could say what he meant, Ming Hui glanced down, and in front of her, he began to complain to the Empress Dowager, saying that Gu Zhen looked at it before and thought she was a good person, but now it is also bad, not only did she remember the affection she used to give her to say good things in front of the concubine Ji Sheng, but instead helped Chunjia drive her out of the palace, and she couldn't see her staying in the palace!

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly became gloomy when she heard this, Gu Zhen wanted to defend herself, but the grandparents and grandchildren didn't look at her, and they didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

After Minghui finished saying that her brother and sister-in-law were not good to her, she then begged the imperial grandmother to let her stay in the palace all the time, she didn't want to descend.

"Minghui, don't worry, as long as you don't want to, no one will want to drive you out of this palace!" The Empress Dowager agreed to her granddaughter's request without hesitation, and at the end of the day, she coaxed Minghui with a loving face, changed her stepmother's face with her feet, and reprimanded Gu Zhen!

said that as a queen, she didn't have a little bit of kindness and kindness that a queen should have, and she couldn't even tolerate her sister-in-law, let alone treat the concubines and heirs?

The Empress Dowager specifically mentioned the queen's recent seizure of power: "The mourning family was a little puzzled when they heard about this, you are not a capable person, the concubines and their few ordinary things are also very decent, the king of Chu is good, and he is relieved, as for taking power in such a hurry?" That's the kind of person you have in your bones! What a disappointment for the mourners! ”

Waiting for Gu Zhen to cry and say that there is no such thing, and finding a horse for Minghui is obviously what Chunjia means, this is for the good of the eldest princess!

How could it be to drive the eldest princess out of the palace?

The Empress Dowager had a cold face and said: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, as the queen, you should pick up the gaps for him, instead of obeying his words and plans, without a little bit of his own thoughts!" If you can only be obedient, what does the emperor want you to do? Aren't there enough servants for the royal service? Besides, since the emperor has good intentions, why did Minghui cry and wipe away his tears when he heard your words, and even came to mourn the family? Isn't that what you're conveying? The mourning family knows that you have never been a person who can speak, but since you have become a queen and sit in this seat, you should think about it carefully, what to do to be worthy of the phoenix seal in your hand! ”

"You're just Minghui who makes you cry today, after all, you are all royal, no matter how wronged you are, you won't be able to say it out and publicize it for you."

"He has made a similar mistake in front of everyone's eyes, so that the royal face is facing where to go!"

The Empress Dowager's scolding was justified, Gu Zhen couldn't interject at all, and finally endured the monstrous grievances and kowtowed to thank the Empress Dowager for her teachings, and cried loudly when she returned to Woxia Tower.

Seeing this, the left and right looked at each other, wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say, and finally could only carry the third prince to the door, let him go in and call the queen mother, pestering Gu Zhen to hug, and finally forced Gu Zhen to hold back his emotions, and only then did he dare to step forward to appease: "Niangniang, anyway, the Queen Mother has already been there, even if there is no reply there, you truthfully told Your Majesty, saying that the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess are still angry, and it is not appropriate to forcibly ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess about her preferences, so I plan to look for the children of each family first, and wait for a few days, The two of them were discouraged and presented again. In this way, His Majesty must not be able to say anything. ”

If Chunjia must be picky, of course he can be picky about it.

But after all, there is a Gu family behind Gu Zhen, even if Chunjia intends to find fault with the queen, it is always difficult to make it too obvious.

“…… So let's do it first. Gu Zhen bit his lip, and after thinking about it, he didn't have a good idea, so he had to hug the third prince tightly and said in a low voice, "Also, talk to the family and ask them what they think?" ”

What does the Gu family think?

The Gu family was very surprised when they heard that the queen and the concubine had seized power, and then they were angry, because Gu Zhen had been in the palace for many years, and he had always been very disciplined, and he had never taken the initiative to cause trouble to the family, so he thought that maybe his daughter had been forced to the extreme?

They are now watching the situation, preparing to speak Chunjia at the right time to support Gu Zhen.

At this time, I finally received a message from the person in front of the queen, and I figured out the ins and outs, and I ...... Very speechless.
