When Empress Jiang's reward arrived, Gu Nianzheng came back from the eldest princess of the country, and as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw a chariot and horse personnel from the palace at the door.

At the door, the long history of the palace was turning, and when he saw Gu Nian coming back, he greeted him from afar, and after seeing the salute, Zhang Changshi was a little weak.

"Princess, the queen mother in the palace has something to reward, it has just been delivered, and people are waiting outside the second gate."

"The Queen's Reward?" Gu Nian smiled, "The rewarded things, you just look at the storage." ”

It's winter now, and there are always things to reward in the palace when the seasons change, but isn't it already delivered last month?

Could it be that Xiao Yue won the battle this time and there was something to reward him?

Zhang Changshi wiped his face and said, "Things can be put into storage, but there are still two people who have to be seen by the princess." ”

Gu Nian's eyes widened in astonishment, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Astragalus, Astragalus also looked at Gu Nian with a diamine face, Gu Nian twisted his eyebrows, and looked at Zhang Changshidao,

"From the Queen? Has the prince seen it? ”

The queen has given two beauties down? Last time, Lin Rui rushed into himself at the door and was reprimanded by the emperor, so the queen now turns her hatred to her?

Xiao Yue said earlier that Lin Rui's IQ is not high, but he didn't say that the queen's IQ is not high.

"The prince went to the palace and hasn't come back yet." Zhang Changshi said, and explained, "The person was sent by the queen's mother, and the prince is only afraid that he doesn't know about the second thing." ”

If the prince likes it and brings it back directly, where does the queen need to give it away?

"The prince has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and there has never been gossip, and suddenly, the palace sent two people, and there was gossip outside."

Gu Nian's brows furrowed more and more.

This time, the emperor rewarded all the beauties sent by the Northern Barbarians, but the ones he picked were all generals who had no wives and concubines, which was the emperor's kindness.

The general emperor will reward some palace maids, that is really idle and boring to reward two people in the room, and there is another kind, that is, sons, brothers and palace maids have an affair, as the emperor, simply be generous, directly reward a batch, in this way, take care of their own face, and let their sons or brothers have fun.

But the queen suddenly rewarded the palace maid, and spoke nicely, it was the queen's sister-in-law who cared for her younger brother.

What's ugly is that Xiao Yue slept with the women in the palace, and the queen simply sent people over to cover up her ugliness.

Zhang Changshi looked at Gu Nian's face, figured out what she meant, and said, "Then the subordinates will stop people back?" ”

"You go and bring people in." Gu Nian squinted his eyes and was silent for a while, and ordered Zhang Changshi.

Zhang Changshi agreed, lowered his hand and retreated, and hurriedly called someone to go.

Huang Qi watched Zhang Changshi retreat, turned his head, and looked at Gu Nian with worried eyes, Gu Nian waved his hand, "Let's take a look at the people first." ”

Huang Qi nodded worriedly, and followed Gu Nian to the flower hall of Suiyuan Hall.

Not much, Zhang Changshi led the people rewarded by Empress Jiang into Suiyuan Hall, and walked along the verandah, Astragalus stood outside the flower hall, looking at a girl wearing a red cloak and a red riding costume inside, with two little girls behind her, turned into the weeping flower door.

Astragalus politely led the girl into the flower hall, and Gu Nian was sitting on the top armchair, slowly sipping tea.

came with him, as well as the great eunuch of Fengyi Palace.

"Princess Niangniang, this is Miss Lina, the princess of the Northern Barbarians, the queen has given her the status of the county lord, the title of Fule, the county lord of Fule asked to be the person in the room for the prince of Jin......"

The queen's newly crowned lord of Fule, Miss Lina stepped forward, "Sister Princess, we will serve the prince together in the future." ”

Gu Nian almost didn't slip off the chair, she looked at Lina carefully, she looked really beautiful.

She smiled, "Miss Lina's sister doesn't dare to be a sister, first, this princess's mother died early, and she didn't add one or two sisters to me."

Second, serving the prince is not up to me, and the prince has to agree. ”

Miss Lina looked at the flower hall, sat on the chair opposite Gu Nian, and said, "Aren't you Central Plains women the most virtuous?"

I heard that the famous Sima Guang refused to take a concubine, and Mrs. Zhang volunteered to buy a beauty for her, recommended a room, and put her favorite maid on the couch to seduce her.

How did you get to the princess's sister, you have to listen to the prince. ”

Gu Nian couldn't hide her surprise, this Lina knew a lot.

She looked at Miss Lina with a smile, "Then do you know what a concubine means?" It's a woman who is standing, and the mistress tells you to go east, not west, to kneel, not to stand, and if you don't eat, you can't even drink saliva. ”

"Not to mention, you sit opposite the princess like this, eating the candied fruit in the palace.

Lina's hand did not stop taking the candied fruit from the plate on the table, she took it to her nose and sniffed it, and said, "That's different, I'm the princess of the Northern Barbarians, the princess of Fule County, the queen's mother." ”

"Really?" Gu Nian dragged out a long tone and asked, "I don't know if the girl has ever got a letter from the imperial court?" There are also concubines who are concubines, but no matter what status. ”

Lina bit her lip and said in a pitiful voice, "But I was given by the queen." ”

The so-called Venerable Gift, she was given by the queen's mother, although she didn't dare to say that she would crush Gu Nian, the concubine, but at least she should be on an equal footing, otherwise, wouldn't it hurt the queen's face?

Gu Nian smiled, and then said lightly, "Other women are very virtuous, could it be that the girl has not heard that Princess Jin is the least virtuous in the capital for so long?"

She pursed her red lips and said, "This princess is a jealous woman and doesn't give concubines to the prince, so where do you come from and go back." ”

After speaking, she instructed Astragalus, "Go, call Changshi in." ”

"You don't have to call it Changshi, just give this king a scepter." Xiao Yue walked in from outside with a cold air all over his body.

Lina was at a loss for a moment, what did Xiao Yue say? Didn't she hear it right?

The people in the house were not as Lina thought, Xiao Yue's meaning was that the red mouth and white teeth were clear, and without a little hesitation, they stepped forward and carried Lina to go out.

Aoba had already seen her unpleasantly from the time the astragalus came in, she stepped forward, and the split hand was two slaps, and suddenly Lina's beautiful face appeared with palm prints,

"If you are really the lord of the county, how can you be a concubine?" Suddenly he turned behind her and kicked her in the knee, knocking her to the ground.

Lina got up, looked at Xiao Yue and said, "Lord Jin, you are a hero, that's why I want to marry you." Ordinary people, I don't like it. ”

Xiao Yue glanced at Lina lightly, her face was expressionless, and she said coldly, "Dirty." ”

Lina looked at her clothes and patted the dust, "What do you mean?" ”

"What do we mean...... It's so dirty, I don't like you like this. Aoba said crisply.

Lina's already not very good face was even more pale, "Lord Jin, are you looking down on me because I lost my virginity."

I've wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I haven't had the chance.

Listen to me, before I came here, I didn't want the emperor's woman to know that the queen was virtuous, so I just found someone to break my body, and I still ......"

Xiao Yue looked at the little guy below, his face was not good, and when the little guy saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to drag Lina out, but Lina gritted her teeth and said,

"If I don't leave, I'll die, and I'll die here."

She stared at Xiao Yue deadly, and suddenly smiled faintly,

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, I came here to take poison, although we Beiban lost, but, I came in through the door but many people saw it, tomorrow the news of my death will come out, and it will be up to you to see how you end up then?"

Xiao Yue stared at her for a while, touched his chin, and said to the dark, "Send her to the palace, send her to the emperor, just say that the queen sent a woman over, I didn't see it, but I smelled a commotion, so I don't know how many men I have experienced, this king is not blessed to enjoy, let the emperor enjoy it himself." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and let the dark one drag him out.

Princess Lina wanted to say something, but the dark one was not those little guys, and her subordinates would not show mercy, and a hand knife slapped Lina's neck, and Lina went limp.

"When you say that, be careful that Your Majesty is angry." Gu Nian said helplessly to Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue smiled, "It's not me who is unlucky, there is someone else, originally the emperor put this Beiban princess in the palace for other purposes, but I didn't expect the queen to send it to Tian Du, I'm not happy, why let her be secretly happy?" ”

Xiao Yue was like this, which made Gu Nian feel a little useless, and she said, "If you don't send her, I have a way to deal with it." ”

"Forget it, just like you, say that you are a jealous woman, and not giving me a concubine is the way?" Xiao Yue said with a disgusted expression.

"I love it, though." He leaned over and whispered in Gu Nian's ear.

The two went back to the room hand in hand, returned to the room, just sat down, Xu'er came in from outside, Gu Nian asked the maid to clean her hands with water, and Xu'er used snacks to fill her stomach together.

Xiao Yue invited Xu'er to a poor Hanlin in the Hanlin Courtyard to enlighten Xu'er.

Gu Nian took a sip of tea, turned her head to look, and saw that Xu'er was learning from his father again, the cheerful smiling face just now had been put away, and she ate snacks with a small face, which made her feel the urge to spray tea.

After finishing the snacks, Gu Nian went to her small study to deal with some things in the house, and Xiao Yue rarely went to the study to be busy today, and took Xu'er to squeeze in her study, occupying the table on the other side, and the father and son held a book and looked at it seriously.

Listening to Xu'er's immature voice, as well as Xiao Yueqingyue's explanation, and sometimes having to deal with all kinds of strange problems from Xu'er, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Occasionally, when he looked up, he would be seen after dealing with Xu'er's problem, asking him to scribble on paper, and then sitting there lazily, his eyes fixed on her.

Gu Nian smiled at him, his expression did not move, but there was a different look in his deep eyes, those eyes were extremely bright and focused, and there seemed to be more indescribable eyes, which made her feel that she would never forget his eyes at this moment for the rest of her life.

After Gu Nian finished handling the affairs, he closed the notebook and put it on the table, and when he looked up, he saw the couch against the wall in the study, where the man seemed to be asleep, and Xu'er was nesting in his arms, sleeping soundly, covered with a blanket on the couch.

Gu Nian smiled, got up and walked over, just standing in front of them, Xiao Yue opened his eyes, Gu Nian whispered 'shhh', leaned over and was about to pick up his son, Xiao Yue grabbed her hand, moved, easily picked up Xu'er, and the two sent him back to the room to sleep.

Although Lina appeared, Gu Nian still felt that today was a very ordinary day, overflowing with the taste of happiness.

However, at night, Gu Nian felt not so happy, probably because this man had been out for more than a year, and he had been holding back for a long time, he really used his strength, if it wasn't for reuse, it was estimated that it would have been broken once.

In this way, on the second day, Gu Nian was still late.

Besides, in the palace, after the emperor listened to the relay, the emperor smiled helplessly and scolded, "This stinky boy." ”

He stared for a moment and instructed Chang Yuan, "Lock Lina in the west, send someone to guard it, and don't let anyone approach it again." ”

After speaking, I went to Fengyi Palace and saw the queen's mother.

He didn't beat around the bush with Empress Jiang, but drove away the people waiting in the palace, and said to Empress Jiang bluntly,

"Do you think that now that we are the emperor and queen, we should sit back and relax?" He sat on the couch and asked Empress Jiang.

Empress Jiang was taken aback, she really didn't think about it like this, she always remembered those days in the East Palace, so she always used the standards of the virtuous queen to demand herself.

She also wants to know where the emperor's bottom line is, don't touch that line, right?

"Why did the emperor say this, the concubines never dared to have such an idea." She knelt in front of the emperor.

"I told you last time that I really want to guard you and live, and I have told you more than once that I want to live a peaceful life.

But I knew that I couldn't live up to the ministers standing behind me, so I took it hard.

This country, I just give half to Xiao Jiu, that's not an exaggeration.

You should know, right?

At the beginning, when you were in the East Palace, didn't you understand it quite well? Why has it changed today? You've always been a sensible person, so why don't you understand this? “

"I also told you, if there is anything to say, this is the last time I will say these words to you, in this world, the only one who can help you and protect you is Xiao Jiu.

Remember, he is my arm and a retreat for you and your child.

Don't test Xiao Jiu and his wife again in the future, don't think that the quarrel that happened in Zhang Shuren's palace was because of you.

Why did you take her to Zhang Shuren's palace to ask for peace in the past, but only that time, you shirked something and let Princess Jin go alone.

If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't know what happened that time. ”

Empress Jiang's heart sank, how long ago was it, the emperor knew it, but he didn't mention it, but came to turn over the old accounts now.

She pressed the doubts in her heart and said, "The concubine has written it down." ”

The emperor looked at Empress Jiang's perfunctory nod, and felt powerless for a while, this time, it was her last chance, I just hope that she can really figure it out.

He added, "That Lina, I still have a use, this matter is too involved, I won't talk to you in detail, and you don't need to test the Jin Wangfu in the future." ”

He said in a cold voice.

When Empress Jiang heard this, layers of cold sweat broke out on her body, she was too impetuous and lost the most basic prudence.

She never thought that it was really the crown prince who would eventually ascend to the throne, nor did she think that it would be so soon.

She thinks back to this period of time, what she has done, it is really, no matter how much affection there is, there will be a day when it will be exhausted.

She cried and sobbed, and said to the emperor, "The concubine really knows that she is wrong." ”

Seeing her like this, the emperor's face softened, and said, "I hope you really know what is wrong, I will tell you again that the emperor's edict was read by Xiao Jiu, and that edict was not the will of letting me ascend the throne at all, but Xiao Jiu, I just let me ascend the throne." ”

"If you still want to be suspicious of Xiao Jiu, then you, the queen, don't have to do it anymore."

The emperor's words today are like a giant hammer smashing into Empress Jiang's heart.

The cold sweat on her head became more and more, she had forgotten to cry, raised her head, and looked at the emperor, "Why?" ”

The emperor shook his head, "You remember what you said today, if you make a fool again in the future, I won't give you another chance." ”

Empress Jiang hurriedly shook her head, "The concubine really figured it out, and she won't do anything wrong again." ”

The emperor looked at her deeply and stood up, "I hope so." ”

After the emperor left, Empress Jiang collapsed to the ground, wiping cold sweat with her sleeve, what happened to her? How could you get dizzy to do those things?

"Niangniang, the slave helped you up?" Mingzhu Lian walked out of the inner room with a slight step.

Empress Jiang pushed her hand away, "You pack up your things and go back to the Medical Women's Bureau." ”

Mingzhu was shocked and said, "Niangniang, the slave and maid have not done anything wrong, why do you want to drive the slave and maid away?" You haven't done what you promised your slave yet. ”

Empress Jiang lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "This palace really wants to help you do it, then the queen of this palace has also done it, who sent it, this palace doesn't want to know, this palace has left you a life, it is already a blessing, no matter how verbose it is, the guards outside this palace are not vegetarians." ”

Mingzhu subconsciously frowned and said, "The slave maid was found by you who sent someone to the Medical Women's Bureau, and it is too unreasonable to say that you will be picked up." ”

Empress Jiang didn't pay attention to Mingzhu anymore, sat in the position where the emperor had just sit, and raised her voice, "Mama Ye......"

Mingzhu was stunned and said, "Just go, when the eldest son of the emperor can't be the prince, don't blame the slave for not reminding you." ”

Empress Jiang's face was suffocated, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "After listening to your reminder, this palace is difficult to protect itself, and you dare to believe what you say?" ”

Mingzhu smiled weirdly, retreated, and left the palace with a small burden after a while.

Empress Jiang sat on the couch for a long time, and then let the palace people come in, and said to Mama Ye, "Mama, the people in this palace, it's better to check again, who knows if there is any charm mixed in it." ”

The temptation of the throne is too great, and there are too many people who are willing to risk the world's condemnation for it.

Just like in business, the greater the risk, the higher the return.

Empress Jiang eased her mind, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Also, the girls from the side branches of the Jiang family who are raised in the palace, send them out, and let the eldest aunt get married." ”

She wondered, during this time, was she too impetuous?

Fortunately, the emperor is willing to give her another chance.

She didn't know when she started to lose her heart.

Mama Ye was kicked out when the emperor was talking to the queen, I don't know what the two said, but after seeing the emperor leave, the queen first drove out the little goblin in Mingzhu, and then said that she wanted to check the East Palace, so she was naturally overjoyed.

No matter that the queen has reversed her thoughts from time to time, it is fortunate that she will shift her attention to the inner palace and let her have no energy to toss around.

It's just that Mama Ye is happy, and other people are unhappy.

Since Miss Jiang lost face in the palace, and when the Jiang family thought that Miss Jiang was dead, there was another big turn, and Miss Jiang was named the eldest princess of the emperor.

Not only was his life saved, but the child in his belly was also saved, and he jumped from the unnamed concubine to the position of the princess.

The Jiang family was naturally happily preparing for the wedding, and over there, Queen Jiang took all the girls from the Jiang family's side branches to the palace.

This made the Jiang family stand on Empress Jiang and the eldest prince, no matter who these girls marry, it will make the Jiang family and Empress Jiang more connected.

But on a sunny day, those side girls were quietly sent back, not only that, but also let them get married.

Mrs. Jiang is nothing, but Empress Jiang's stepmother, Mrs. Jiang is not happy.

When she brought people into Beijing from her mother's house, she let them go to the future, but this future did not collapse, but she was going to be sent back, isn't this a slap in her face?

Dr. Jiang didn't care about these, the girls in the side branch of the Jiang family went back to their respective homes, and the girls from Mrs. Jiang's mother's family had no reason to stay in the house.

"Sister-in-law's door is becoming more and more difficult to enter now." Second Lady Jiang screamed outside the courtyard of the eldest lady.

"Brother and sister are here, then come in." The eldest lady's eyes narrowed, Queen Jiang was raised by her, and the second lady really thought she could be the emperor's mother-in-law?

The second lady came in from outside the door, and she didn't salute, but directly on the chair, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Are you in such a hurry to get rid of my mother's relatives, our Jiang family is not so broken that we want to save money for a bowl of rice. ”

She sneered, "If the money is not good, then the sister-in-law's host is really a little unreasonable." ”

The eldest lady glanced at the second lady coldly, "Since this is the case, then I don't have much to do, my younger brother and sister will take your relatives back to the second room, and all the food and clothing will be from the account in the second room." ”

She stood up and wanted to chase people away.

Suddenly, she said, "My nephew is now old, so he should be married, right?" ”

The second lady showed a smug smile on her face and said, "That's nature." ”

His own son is the younger brother of Queen Jiang, that is the uncle of the country, even if he is not a fellow mother, he is closer than the cousins of Dafang.

The eldest lady glanced at the second lady meaningfully, and then at the niece of the second lady's maiden family who was sent out of the palace.

said, "Then brother and sister look for it slowly." ”

There is a maiden niece living in the house, looking up and seeing, looking down, who wants to marry his own daughter.

The eldest lady didn't drive anyone away, but left directly by herself to prepare for her granddaughter's wedding.

The second lady didn't think about it so much at all, and said to her niece, "Let's go, don't worry, my aunt must find you a good home, and when the time comes, don't forget your aunt's good." ”

With such a graceful figure and a beautiful face, didn't she choose such a girl because this girl had enough capital?

The second lady brought her niece home, but she didn't expect that she would cause so much trouble to her family.

……

However, the queen has really reflected, but the days when Gu Nian entered the palace to ask for peace were much better.

Empress Jiang's smile seemed to be sincere, and she just cried bitterly at Gu Nian and repented.

Gu Nian guessed that it was probably what the emperor said that made Empress Jiang change so much, no matter what, she just had to do her duty.

On this day, when she came out of the palace, she just got home and heard the news that Aoba brought from outside, and she almost lost the tea cup in her hand.

Aoba went to the front yard and heard the guards discussing, looking like a thief, and when he inquired, it turned out to be King Su who was being shown his love on the street.

That person is Mo Fei, who asked the Queen Mother for marriage in the palace.

Gu Nian listened, and there was only one thought, this Mo Fei was really bold.

"After coming out of the palace last time, the eldest princess of Changning locked Miss Mo in the temple, and there were originally two families who wanted to come to the door to propose marriage, but after hearing about it, they also dispelled their thoughts.

The eldest princess of Changning even invited several doctors to visit Miss Mo, and the doctor also confirmed that Miss Mo did have hysteria......

When Gu Shi'an came to see Xu'er, Gu Nian propped his chin, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "I heard that you were stopped to show your love." ”

Gu Shi'an was a little embarrassed for a while, if this was a young boy, it would be normal, he glared at Gu Nian, and said, "Don't pay attention to it." ”

Gu Nian said with a smile, "I didn't expect my father to be so popular that he would let people show their love halfway." ”

Gu Shi'an looked at Xiao Yue and said, "Why don't you care about your daughter-in-law?" ”

Xiao Yue said lightly, "That's your daughter." ”

You don't teach, do you blame this king?

Nanshan behind Gu Shi'an stepped forward to hug his own prince, "Girl, don't you know, the girl from the eldest princess's family in Changning suddenly appeared yesterday and blocked the prince's way, and the subordinates didn't recognize it as the Mo family girl before, so they wanted to fork her directly, but they didn't expect her to rush to the prince.

said that he admired the prince's deep affection for the princess, and respected the prince very much, and wanted to marry the prince, even if it was to be a maidservant...... The prince was annoyed and kicked him directly.

Then the subordinates and others knew that it was a girl from the Mo family, and then they sent the person back......"

Gu Shi'an didn't look at who was blocking the way, so he kicked it over completely impatiently.

Gu Nian didn't know what to say for a while, maybe someone secretly accused his father of doing too much, and did not solve it quietly, but publicized it widely, directly ruining the reputation of the girl.

Although, that's an old girl.

In fact, his father was not disgusted by this Mo girl, so he deliberately sent her back with great fanfare.

Gu Nian was a little ridiculous, and he didn't know how Mo Fei escaped from home.

I don't know how this brain grows, in this era of strict etiquette, don't you want your reputation if you go to the street to show love to a man like this? Regardless of the family's reputation?

Or do you think that your father will marry her because of her open-minded spirit?

Gu Nian didn't know what Mo Fei thought, but on the second day, Yu Shi participated in Xiao Yue and Gu Shi'an's father and son.

Gu Shi'an was beaten on the street, while Xiao Yue was reminded of the old story, and the 100,000 prisoners of war in Beiban were killed.
