Chapter 207: Bad Reputation
The time was long and difficult, Feng Ming stood at the gate of the palace like a door god, his eyes staring at the exit without blinking, if it wasn't for the occasional anxious look, others would really think he was a statue. Before the princess entered the palace, she told him that the queen had ill intentions, fearing that she would detain her and threaten the prince, so that he could use the spies in the palace to pay attention to the movements of the Chengqian Palace, and if there was any accident, he would immediately notify His Majesty.
Feng Ming couldn't enter the palace, except for telling the spies to pay attention, he didn't know what the situation in the palace was, at this time the princess had been in the palace for more than an hour, and her safety was unknown, he thought in his heart, in another quarter of an hour, if the princess didn't come out again, even if she risked being exposed, she had to contact the spies.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, Feng Ming's face sank, and he glanced at the guard on duty at the palace gate, the guard nodded and shouted, "It's a shift change, change shifts in advance, and the brothers will go to eat early." ”
The guards cheered, and at this time, a bright yellow sedan chair appeared in front of everyone, this is the special sedan chair of the crown princess, and the soldiers hurriedly rested and had plastic surgery, and waited for the nobles to pass with low eyebrows. However, at this moment, the sedan chair stopped.
A blue and blue figure walked out of the sedan chair, it was Princess Qin's mother.
Feng Ming's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly walked over, "Princess Niangniang, my subordinates have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Gu Qingyi nodded at him soothingly, "Everything is going well, let's go home." ”
Feng Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the prince asked him to protect the princess, if something happened to her, he was afraid that he could only apologize with death. He hurriedly put the princess in the carriage and drove back to the palace.
As soon as he returned home, the queen's punishment followed, and the grandmother in the palace sent a decree, reprimanding Princess Qin for being unfilial, disrespectful to her mother, jealous and unvirtuous, resulting in the emptiness of the backyard of the palace.
The queen's so-called punishment is nothing more than a few things, Gu Qingyi has long been mentally prepared, so she is not surprised, calmly took the female ring and the ring ruler, and thanked her. It's just that she can be at ease, Mrs. Zhou and the people of the palace are as frightened and angry as if the sky has collapsed, for no other reason, she was reprimanded by the queen Yizhi, I am afraid that it will be known by the people of the capital in less than half a day, and then gradually spread from the capital, and it will not be long before everyone in the world will know about the bad deeds of Princess Qin, and her reputation is unclean, I am afraid that she will be recorded in the official history and the wild history.
Such a bad reputation is a landslide for every woman. There was a princess in the previous dynasty, because she was reprimanded by the queen, she directly committed suicide with Bai Aya, Gu Qingyi was still able to maintain her composure, I have to say that her psychological quality is too strong.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were red with anger, and she took Gu Qingyi's hand and read, "Yi'er, what can I do about this, the queen is so vicious, this is to ruin your reputation, and there will be no place in the world in the future." ”
Thinking that her daughter would go out in the future, she would be pointed at and talked about secretly, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and she hated the queen even more.
Gu Qingyi comforted Mrs. Zhou in turn, "Auntie, don't worry, I always cared about reputation before, and everything had to be considered within the rules, like a marionette, I can't be free." Later, I thought, the so-called rules are all used by superiors to restrain people, and it doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong, in that case, why should I wronged myself and cater to a superior who will never treat me well? The queen just punished me, it doesn't matter if my reputation is bad, I don't care what the history books say, I don't care what others think, those people are all grass on the wall, as long as the prince is still there, they don't dare to do anything to me. It's just that I'm afraid that I'm going to implicate you, so there are more rumors and rumors. ”
"You're not afraid, what am I afraid of a person who has half of his body in the ground?" Mrs. Zhou was originally an open-minded person, but because of Gu Qingyi's weakness, she entered the world, and at this time, she was persuaded by Gu Qingyi, and her mind was also open-minded, "Just by virtue of this time, I can screen some wall grass, and those who can continue to date can be regarded as close friends, if we stay away, let's not do it." ”
Those social interactions are just face-saving, the status of the Qin Wangfu is here, and there is no need for Gu Qingyi to bother to entertain, of course, there is no need to worry about relying on the officials of the King of Qin to evacuate, after all, they care more about the interests and the King of Qin himself, and the reputation of the Princess of Qin has not been taken into their eyes yet.
The effect of Yizhi's reprimand was soon reflected, just look at the post to know, the posts sent to the Qin Wangfu in the past were as colorful as snowflakes, and the concierge could receive several baskets every day, but after the Yizhi, the posts quickly decreased, except for the Qin Wangmen and relatives and friends, there were no other posts.
Gu Qingyi asked people to put the posts away, personally compare the differences before and after, and then blacklist those who are missing, and will no longer interact in the future.
The day after the news came out, Gu Kangwen came to the door angrily, and as soon as he saw Gu Qingyi, he went straight to the point to express his intentions, "You have a loss of morality, and the queen will issue an edict to reprimand you as a concubine, but you, as a daughter-in-law and courtier, should not be indifferent to this, I heard that you have never entered the palace to apologize, it is simply rude, and you have lost the face of my Gu family, if you still treat me as your father, listen to me now, enter the palace immediately, and ask for the queen's forgiveness!" ”
He was so angry now that he didn't even care about the past courtesy.
Han Dong and Qiu Yan are slaves and maids brought from Gu Mansion, and they have always had a deep affection for Gu Mansion, as soon as the master saw his master, he opened his mouth to reprimand, and his heart was extremely dissatisfied, they could no longer take care of the friendship of the old master, and immediately stood up to defend their own mother, "Master, our mother is not wrong, if you enter the palace to apologize, wouldn't you admit the crime?" You are Niangniang's biological father, so it doesn't matter if you don't stand on Niangniang's side, why do you still push her into the fire pit. ”
"Presumptuous!" was blamed by his subordinates, Gu Kangwen couldn't get over his face, and glanced coldly at the so-called slave and maid, "What are you, the master speaks, how can someone intervene!" Not a spark of decency! ”
"Whether my slaves have rules or not, it's up to me to decide, my father is an outsider, where does he come from to teach them a lesson?" Gu Qingyi dragged Han Dong and Qiu Yan back, faced Gu Kangwen directly, and smiled mockingly, "The slaves and maids around me still know the relationship between father and daughter, but what about you, father, I'm afraid you have never treated me as your daughter." Since my father doesn't care about the relationship between father and daughter, there is no need to point fingers at my private affairs. ”
Gu Kangwen's face became even more ugly, and he slapped the table angrily, "Presumptuous! Even if you become the Qin Wangfu, you are also the daughter of my Gu family, and your name is recorded on the family tree, don't you say? Your words and deeds alone affect the reputation of the entire Gu family, and I stand in the position of the family and order you to be justified! ”
The Gu family?
Although the Gu family is a scholarly family, its branches have already withered, except for those branches that are clinging to the rudder when they see the wind, and the blood of the Gu family is flowing, it is just Gu Kangwen's room.
They are unkind, so why should she tie their hands and feet to them?
Gu Qingyi's sneer became even more obvious, "Follow your father at home, marry your husband, I am now the wife of King Qin, only the prince of our family has the right to order me how, as for you, just give a face to your father, and forgive your fate." ”
"Evil Barrier!" Gu Kangwen was dismissed again and again, and his face turned purple with anger, "You have ruined your reputation, how will your sister meet people in the future?" She hasn't found her in-laws yet, and the rest of her life will be ruined like this! ”
It's okay if he doesn't mention it, but when he mentions Gu Qingyi, he gets angry, and the grievances that his cousin has suffered over the years are all surging up, and she can't help but redden, "Father, in your eyes, there is only Gu Wenyin as a daughter, so you can't see my existence?" It is said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, I didn't believe it before, but after reading you, I know why there is this sentence. Don't you really know what kind of life I've lived over the years? Zhang's secretly suppressed me, Gu Wenyin excluded me and humiliated me, for more than ten years, I have never had a comfortable life, all of them are the masterpieces of Zhang's mother and daughter! A while ago, the Zhang family instructed the house slave to assassinate me, have you forgotten? ”
Gu Kangwen was speechless, and there was a moment of discomfort on his face. He knows a little about the methods of Zhang's mother and daughter, but he doesn't want to care about the affairs of the back house, and he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, so he just opens his eyes and closes one eye, where does he know what kind of impact those trials have on a girl.
After all, he failed to fulfill his father's due responsibility, and he was in the wrong for a while, and he couldn't say justified accusations.
sighed for her cousin, Gu Qingyi was relieved, and she was even more reluctant to see Gu Kangwen, "Since I married into the Qin Palace, my father came to the door twice, not to visit me, and the relationship between father and daughter is so weak, why deceive yourself and pretend to be a father and daughter?" Please go back, there is no need in the future, and it is better not to meet, so as not to be angry in vain. ”
Gu Qingyi's expression was cold and bored, his eyes never fell on him at all, Gu Kangwen was in a trance, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was completely unfamiliar, far from the delicate and silent daughter in his memory.
Is this really his daughter? Maybe, after all, as she said, his attention to her was not even one-tenth of that of Gu Wenyin.
An unspeakable sense of amazement and loss came to his heart, Gu Kangwen was in a trance, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Leng Dong unceremoniously ordered the eviction, "Lord Gu, please." ”
Even the title has been changed.
Gu Kangwen didn't bother either, and glanced at Gu Qingyi, but her attention had been attracted by the baby girl wrapped in red satin, and she shouted with a smile, and he knew that this was his granddaughter's nickname.
To this day, he has never even seen what his granddaughter looks like.
Gu Qingyi's resentment towards him really had a reason, Gu Kangwen smiled bitterly, turned his head and left the Qin Palace.
