CHAPTER XV
When Gu Jiahui and her brother chatted, they heard that there was an item of red wine on the day of the banquet in the palace, and they knew that their plan had succeeded. The remaining red wine was entrusted to Qu Zijing and Qu Ziting, and the two brothers sold it in the form of auction on the fifteenth day of the new year.
The emperor loved this wine, and more children of officials and eunuchs came to buy it, and the price was also high. In just one month, these ten jars of wine were sold for 10,000 taels of gold. This news spread to all corners of Huang Yuguo for a while.
Gu Jiahui also made a lot of money from it, but just when Gu Jiahui should be recklessly happy, bad news came - Gu Yanxi's bad girl was released.
Gu Yanxi's first choice was to run to her aunt to cry. When he was about to leave the house, he saw Gu Jiahui appear in front of him, and subconsciously dodged to the side. Gu Jiahui saw Gu Yanxi's reaction and held back her smile and glared back, Gu Yanxi immediately pulled out her legs and ran away.
After getting into the sedan chair, Gu Yanxi urged the sedan chair man to leave, as if Gu Jiahui could bite off her neck and swallow her up, and there were no bones left in her abdomen.
Gu Yanxi urged the sedan chair man all the way, and the sedan chair driver also hurried to the emperor's gate. Gu Yanxi ran in regardless of the image, until she arrived at the palace of the concubine. At that time, he had the demeanor of Wang Xifeng, and he heard his voice before anyone saw him.
"Auntie, you have to be the master for Xi'er!" Gu Yanxi cried out without saving any face, "I want to help Xi'er kill Gu Jiahui's bastard girl!" ”
The people sitting in the palace kept crying when they saw Gu Yanxi coming in, and their mouths were not very clean and said filthy words.
But the concubine had embarrassment written on her face, "Bold! When he saw the emperor, he didn't salute, but he still said wild words! What a system! ”
Gu Yanxi raised her eyes and saw that the concubine did not sit on the main seat, but sat on the chair next to her. The person on the throne is the Holy One today, and the person sitting next to the Holy One is the Queen. Gu Yanxi's face immediately turned pale and immediately fell to her knees. "The people's daughter asks for peace for the emperor, for the queen's mother, and for the concubine. The people's daughter deserves to die, she said something she shouldn't have said, and asked the emperor to forgive her sins. ”
The emperor looked at Gu Yanxi, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not speak, and the queen looked at the concubine, "Sister concubine, this must be your niece, right?" It seems to be the daughter of Gu Fuyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I don't know how this is taught by the Book of Rites? He is not a big man, but he has a good temper, and he still speaks unclean words in his mouth. Where did you learn this? ”
When the emperor heard that it was Gu Fuyang's daughter, he understood a lot, so it was no wonder that he called the concubine his aunt, "Tell me, why do you want the concubine to help you make the decision?" ”
The emperor didn't let Gu Yanxi get up, because he heard that the concubine was sick a few days ago, and he came to visit with the queen's mother. I didn't expect such a person to suddenly pop out, so it was better to take the opportunity to suppress the prime minister's forces.
"Back to the emperor, the people's daughter has a sister, and she oppresses the people's daughter. It also caused the maid's mother to be grounded, and the maiden couldn't bear it, so she came to the concubine Niangniang, hoping that the concubine Niangniang could help me make the decision. Gu Yanxi didn't know what serious consequences her behavior would bring. thought that the emperor would help him make the decision, but he forgot that his grandfather did not know that the restraint had annoyed the emperor.
"Yo, this palace really said it." The queen took a sip of tea unhurriedly, looked at the curiosity written on the emperor's face and said, "This was all a few months ago. That day, Yi'er was in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, but it was different from what this girl said, and I don't know who was lying? ”
Gu Yanxi's face changed, and she looked at her aunt helplessly, hoping that her aunt could help her.
The concubine was very angry when she saw that Gu Yanxi had not done enough and had more than enough to lose, but it was her sister's daughter who had to help. "This girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to speak, but she won't talk nonsense. There must be some misunderstanding in it. ”
"Misunderstanding? Since there is a misunderstanding, it is good to solve it. "The emperor has never seen anything like before, and when he saw Gu Yanxi's face, he knew that what he said was true or false, "Queen, you go on, I want to know what happened." ”
Yi'er told me that she saw the mother and daughter beating up a young lady who was out of the house. asked what happened, but said that the young lady who came out of the concubine beat the niece of the concubine, and her mother was angry with her. In front of his subordinates, he fought without mercy. The queen said vividly, "We Yi'er are kind-hearted, so we asked what we did wrong to be beaten so badly." said that the concubine girl injured this one, but the one in front of him was not injured at all, but the concubine girl was full of injuries. So the matter became clear, and Lord Shangshu punished the eldest lady and this young lady for grounding. ”
"I heard the queen say that this eldest lady has no etiquette as a housewife, and this young lady is also pampered and has no rules to be disciplined." The emperor understood what happened, "Then what grievances do you have to ask the concubine to help you?" Everyone in this palace is the heir of the Son of Heaven, but it is not as good as you to do such a thing, or is your face bigger? ”
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter knows that she is wrong, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness." Gu Yanxi began to kowtow constantly to apologize.
"Your Majesty, although Xi'er lacks discipline, she is also a child, and it is inevitable that she will make mistakes. Please also ask the emperor to forgive her for her ignorance. The concubine also asked the emperor for guilt, "She is still young and can't tell right from wrong, and the concubine must let her sister discipline her more." ”
"The child is young and ignorant, but your sister is not. This Ministry of Rites is not even a good manager of his own family, how can I entrust him with the management of state affairs? The emperor said and slapped the table next to him angrily, "Gu Fuyang has a poisonous woman by his side, and this poisonous woman blows the wind on the pillow, can my country still sit firmly?" ”
"The Emperor's ......"
The emperor didn't wait for the concubine to finish speaking, "Come on, bring Gu Fuyang into the palace and order him to meet him immediately!" Then he turned and left.
The queen looked at the concubine's joke and said with joy in her heart, "Sister, how is this good?" It's too late now, so why don't you think about how to discipline your niece, I'm afraid your sister won't be able to save it. "Say that and leave.
Gu Yanxi didn't understand what the queen meant, "Auntie, what do the queen's words mean?" What will happen to my mother? What does it mean to be unsaved? Auntie, you speak! Gu Yanxi grabbed the corner of the concubine's clothes and kept shaking, although she didn't know how things would develop, but the instinctive fear made her tears keep falling.
The concubine turned around and slapped Gu Yanxi, "You are not a proud thing, that's how your mother taught you?" Now it's a big deal, and even my father can't keep my sister. ”
After hearing this, Gu Yanxi finally understood, even her grandfather couldn't count on it, it was really over.
