Chapter 267: Slap in the Face (5)
Old Madam Gu condescendingly looked at Princess Ruyang who was kneeling on the ground.
The Empress Dowager and Emperor Longqing and others behind him couldn't see it.
Princess Ruyang felt the hostility of Old Madam Gu.
Saying sorry, her gaze was like ice.
Say she's a watery poplar?
Let her not be offended?
How can it be!
Princess Ruyang was unconvinced, raised her eyes and looked at the old lady Gu, "Hasn't the old lady heard a word?" Although I am a woman from the southwest border, I also admire the erudite and talented people in the Central Plains, I heard that the women of the Central Plains are virtuous and generous, but I did not expect to see it in front of the Queen Mother today...... I saw ...... people on the street who speculated on human nature by their appearance."
"Liar?!"
Old Madam Gu said sarcastically: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, please be cautious, although I am not a good person, whether it is when I am a girl or after I get married, outsiders may say that I am stubborn, but no one says that I am a liar!" β
"Since you know that men are not to be seen, you must have heard this sayingβ"
Old Madam Gu lowered her head and approached Princess Ruyang's ear, "If you don't know what to do, I'll give you this sentence...... Yingjia! β
It was just a moment, and Old Madam Gu staggered her body, and Princess Ruyang's face turned pale, as if she had been struck by lightning, and she was stunned on the spot.
The Queen Mother was extremely satisfied, obviously the Queen Mother thought that in the end, Mrs. Gu realized her original intention and drank Princess Ruyang.
"In the words of the family, Princess Ruyang doesn't have to mind. However, since the mourning family has the duty to restrain the wife, say a few more words to the woman you were born in the southwest border, and remember to be frivolous and debauched when you live in the capital in the future, and you should think of loyalty. β
"As long as you commit adultery, no matter who comes to intercede with the mourners, the mourners will not be able to spare you!"
The Queen Mother's words were sharp, her eyes were cold, and for a while, the surrounding women bowed their heads one after another, expressing their submission.
Emperor Longqing's face flashed with embarrassment.
It wasn't that he knelt down and begged the Queen Mother that day, plus ...... Lu Heng accompanied her to kneel in the heavy snow, and the Queen Mother had already given death to the Duchess of Zhenguo.
Lu Zheng has no chance to be born!
Princess Ruyang endured all the anger of the Queen Mother, and knelt alone on the spot, she looked even more depressed and miserable.
However, her appearance was not enough for Emperor Longqing to distinguish clearly, if Gu Yao knelt there, Emperor Longqing imagined a little, as long as Gu Yao showed his request for help, he might have confronted the Queen Mother again.
This time, he didn't need to kneel down and beg the Queen Mother to spare the Duchess of Zhenguo!
"Mother's anger." Old Madam Gu stepped forward and bent her knees again: "Princess Ruyang has already made a mistake. β
Gu Yao secretly praised, mother's love is boundless, don't offend the mother who protects the bear child if you offend anyone!
Knowing the mistake was used skillfully, and nailed Princess Ruyang to the pillar of shame.
What's wrong with her?
Isn't it frivolous and debauched?!
But if you really investigate it, Old Madam Gu can also blame everything on her ignorance of the rules of the Central Plains and annoying the Queen Mother.
Rightly or wrongly, the Queen Mother is always right.
The Empress Dowager really restrained her anger, and Mrs. Gu continued: "It's better for Niangniang to reward the female ring girl to Princess Ruyang, and the martyr's biography and the virgin's biography can also give her a few copies." β
Usually, Old Madam Gu never let her granddaughter read the book of a chaste martyr, but now she deliberately suggested to the Queen Mother, just to embarrass Princess Ruyang again.
After today, the circle of women in the capital will be full of rumors that Princess Ruyang is not good.
The county lord of An Ran was about to retract her head into her chest, and even she felt embarrassed and embarrassed just listening to it!
Ashamed!
Princess Ruyang's lips were white, her eyes were slightly red, and she was full of tears.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction again, "Rong Shanggong went to take the women's rings and other books copied by the mourning family, and rewarded them to Princess Ruyang, go back and study them carefully, don't let down the mourning family's thoughts that love you." β
Princess Ruyang bowed her head in embarrassment: "The courtiers obey Yi's order." β
"Doesn't Her Royal Highness thank the Queen Mother for her reward? You must know that the Queen Mother has not sent a female ring written by the wife herself for a long time. β
When Old Madam Gu was ruthless, she specially sprinkled salt on Princess Ruyang's wound.
Princess Ruyang choked up and said, "The courtiers thank the Queen Mother." β
"Alright, you get up and step aside."
The Queen Mother instructed, and after Princess Ruyang took the scroll from Rongshang Palace, she slowly got up, and heard the Queen Mother say, "You come and sit beside the mourning family." β
Princess Ruyang's heart jumped, but the lesson was too deep, and she didn't dare to rush forward again.
Sure enough, Old Madam Gu walked past her and sat next to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled and pulled Old Madam Gu to gossip, "If you say that you have seen a lot of beauties mourning the family, there are more beauties in the palace of the first emperor, and I have never seen a better color than your granddaughter." β
"Come, Gu Yao."
"Mother."
The Queen Mother directly grabbed Gu Yao and looked at the bright girl in front of her with relief, "Don't mention her appearance, as long as she is not blind, you can see that she is stunning, and the mourning family is not superficial and only recognizes her appearance, she loves her calm temperament the most, she looks like a blessed person." β
Gu Yao lowered her head and smiled, gentle and generous, beautiful and noble.
Emperor Longqing's eyes straightened, and he leaned forward as if he was uncomfortable, and Lu Zheng handed Emperor Longqing a tea cup at the right time.
The wives who accompanied the Queen Mother were all knowledgeable, and they praised Gu Yao again according to the Queen Mother's words.
Gu Yao was surrounded by a group of women with pearls, and Old Madam Gu smiled proudly.
Princess Ruyang could only stand in a small corner, feeling lost and embarrassed.
It wasn't the life she wanted to live.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"What?"
Emperor Longqing's voice was a little dissatisfied, looking at the beauty was dark, he didn't want to deal with government affairs now.
"Back to Your Majesty, Lord He asks to see you."
"Oh."
Emperor Longqing was surprised and said, "Let him come in." β
"The slave has seen long live, and he has seen the queen mother."
After Lord He knelt down to say goodbye, he caught a glimpse of Old Madam Gu and Gu Yao sitting closest to the Queen Mother, and was stunned for a moment, then stabilized his mind and said, "Long live the slave...... It's about Gu Zhan. β
Gu Yao raised her eyes, and Old Madam Gu's heart tightened, "Grandmother, don't worry, my father has rarely caused trouble recently." β
Old Madam Gu nodded slightly, holding Gu Yao's hand, Gu Yao felt that her grandmother's palms were in cold sweat.
"Gu Zhan? What happened to him? There was no joy or anger on Emperor Longqing's face, "Who was beaten again?" β
Jin Yiwei presented Gu Zhan's previous achievements to Emperor Longqing as a joke.
After seeing it, he was extremely sympathetic to Gu Siye, who had been defeated and fought repeatedly, and Gu Zhan had only been transferred since this year.
If Emperor Longqing didn't know Gu Zhan, he naturally wouldn't care if Gu Zhan was bullied, and at this time, he couldn't allow Gu Zhan to be scolded by the literati or bullied by Xungui again.
"Who bullied my Yonglezi?"
"Back to the emperor, Yonglezi and the king of Ruyang have a big fight in the country!"
