Yan Rongling didn't answer, as long as today's matter was in front of his father, the Jiang family would not be pleased. As for what will happen in the end, it depends on what the Gu family of Guanwen Hou wants. He always felt that Cousin Mingzhu was secretly calculating something this time.

Yan Shaoxun and Yan Rongling deliberately walked slower, waiting for Gu Fanghua to return to Cining Palace first.

Originally, Gu Fanghua planned to brew her emotions and shed a few tears. can think of her previous life, she was sad from her heart, and her tears were like water droplets with broken threads, rolling down in strings.

This kind of appearance really scared the Empress Dowager Zhong.

After Empress Dowager Zhong was stunned, her face sank like water: "Who?" Who bullied the mourning family's Zhu Zhu'er! When the mourning family dies, it can't be! ”

Such a strong and domineering side leak made Gu Fanghua, who originally thought that her grandmother would take her into her arms first and comfort her, was a little uncomfortable.

The sad mood was interrupted, Gu Fanghua sobbed for a while, and then said carefully: "Grandmother." ”

Before the words were finished, the Empress Dowager Zhong scolded: "Those who went out together today, the protector is not effective, and they are all left to the mourning family to kneel outside." When the mourners ask clearly, I'll clean you up again! ”

Danzhu and the others respectfully kowtowed to the order, and went out to kneel outside in turn.

Gu Fanghua saw that the Queen Mother's grandmother was so angry, and she was afraid that she would be angry and hurt her body, so she couldn't pretend. jumped up and hugged Empress Dowager Zhong's arm and coquettishly said: "Grandmother, don't be angry, I'm fine." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong didn't believe that although Gu Fanghua had been pampered since childhood, she was not a master who cried at every turn.

Today's eyes are swollen like this, and he must have suffered a great grievance.

"Zhu Zhu'er, you slowly tell the mourning family, no matter who dares to bully the mourning family's Zhu Zhu'er, the mourning family will also make him pay the price!"

Empress Dowager Zhong took Gu Fanghua into her arms, soothed her shoulders, and soothed.

Gu Fanghua's nose was sour, only her grandmother in this world would hurt herself like this, and she protected herself regardless of right or wrong. She raised her little face and said seriously: "Grandmother, I'm really fine, I tried to bully me, but I bullied me back." ”

But the Empress Dowager Zhong still didn't believe it, it was really the red and swollen eyes that really made the Empress Dowager feel distressed.

Just as he was about to inquire in detail, Xia Chun came in and reported: "Empress Dowager Qi, the fifth prince and the sixth prince ask to see you." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong had a calm face and said majestically: "Let them in." ”

Yan Shaoxun and Yan Rongling had already seen a group of people kneeling outside, and knowing that the Queen Mother was angry, they walked in and saluted respectfully: "Grandson has seen the imperial grandmother. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Little five, little six, when you go out, what did the mourning family say?" Zhuzhu'er was bullied like this, what are you two doing? ”

Yan Shaoxun immediately replied: "Grandmother Huihuang, when my grandson heard that they slandered Cousin Mingzhu, he immediately rushed up and beat them, and the sixth brother also made a move. ”

Yan Rongling also replied: "Imperial Grandmother, we have already taught them a lesson on the spot. But what they said could only be asked by the emperor's grandmother and father. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong glanced at Gu Fanghua, who was still sobbing, and said softly: "Xiuchun, take Zhuzhu'er to freshen up, and use eggs to roll your eyes to get swollen first." Zhu Zhu'er, with her grandmother here, don't worry, she will definitely be able to get justice for you. ”

After Mama Fang helped Gu Fanghua away, Empress Dowager Zhong was half-leaning on the throne, holding her arm with one hand, caressing the golden tortoiseshell armor in her hand with the other, and looked at Yan Shaoxun and Yan Rongling lightly.

"Tell me, what's going on? Don't omit it, and don't be afraid of the mourning family getting angry, the mourning family should listen to the original words. ”

Yan Shaoxun took the lead and said, "......." ”

And Emperor Hong Zheng in the imperial study also received a message: "Your Majesty, the old crown Wenhou and the second son Gu Shinian are asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng put down the pen and said in surprise: "Mrs. Gu is here?" ”

No wonder Emperor Hong Zheng was surprised, since his beloved son Gu Dian died unexpectedly, Gu Tingzhang, the Marquis of Guanwen at that time, was too sad and couldn't afford to be sick. Later, he resigned from the post of Taifu and passed the title to his second son Gu Jiang, and never went out.

In the past ten years, it is still the first time to enter the palace.

The great eunuch Wang Ningyu said: "Back to the emperor, yes." It was Mrs. Gu who asked to see her. ”

"Spread it! QuickPass! You go to greet it. ”

Emperor Hongzheng was taught by Gu Tingzhang when he was young, and he still respected this former emperor very much, and he was busy asking Wang Ning to greet him himself.

Waiting for Gu Shinian and Wang Ning to help Gu Tingzhang come in left and right, they saluted and bowed: "The old minister sees the emperor!" ”

Emperor Hong Zheng got up in person, stepped forward to help Gu Yanzhang, and said with concern: "Why is Taifu free to enter the palace?" If there is anything, just let Gu Qing say it. Come, give a seat! ”

Gu Tingzhang is over half a hundred years old, and his clear face is full of wind and frost engraved by the years. The silver hair was neatly tied, the slender eyebrows drooped slightly, and the clear eyes flashed with wisdom, looking like a fairy wind and bones.

"The emperor has tormented the minister, and the minister entered the palace today to take his granddaughter Mingzhu home."

Although Gu Tingzhang is a literati, he has always disliked beating around the bush, and in front of Emperor Hong Zheng, he directly explained his intentions.

Emperor Hong Zheng was a little surprised, he thought that this old lady had some national affairs, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to take his granddaughter home. Relaxed, and said with a smile: "Taifu, you want Mingzhu to go home and let people spread the word, why bother to run in person?" ”

"No, the emperor doesn't understand what the old minister means, the old minister is ready to take the pearl home and be raised by the Gu family, and he is not going to send it to the palace to be handed over to the queen mother."

Gu Yanzhang's opening, the upright and iron-clad Guanwen Marquis in the court in the past reawakened the memory of Emperor Hong Zheng.

But the content of these words is not a trivial matter, Emperor Hong Zheng didn't care about recalling, and hurriedly said: "Why did Taifu say this? ”

Gu Tingzhang arched his hand and said: "On that day, the emperor felt sorry for the pain of the Queen Mother's bereavement, and wanted to take Mingzhu into the palace to raise her, but it was not that our Gu family was unwilling to raise her. Now that there are different opinions outside, Mingzhu has repeatedly fallen into embarrassment, and the old minister naturally wants to take my granddaughter home, so as not to let others wantonly insult me. ”

Only then did Emperor Hong Zheng know that Mrs. Gu was not good, but Mingzhu was the queen mother's treasure, and he didn't dare to agree rashly.

"It's too serious. Mingzhu is the county lord of my Great Zhou, with a noble status and an extraordinary status, who dares to insult Mingzhu? If the Queen Mother knew about this, wouldn't she be so distressed that she couldn't sleep? ”

Gu Yanzhang glanced at Gu Shinian, and Gu Shinian immediately said: "Your Majesty, maybe the Queen Mother already knows." Today, Mingzhu went to the Weihe River to celebrate the Flower Dynasty Festival, and he was in danger and heartbroken. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng was really shocked at this time, and turned his head to ask Wang Ning: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Jiu today, are you out of the palace with Mingzhu?" ”

The prince replied: "Back to the emperor, yes." ”

Emperor Hong Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Shi Nian, what you said is too exaggerated, with Xiao Jiu here, who can hurt Mingzhu?" ”

Gu Shinian said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this injury is not on your body, but on your heart." Besides, Shinian witnessed with his own eyes that today's Pearl was almost disfigured. If there is half a lie, the world is willing to be at the disposal of the emperor. ”
