What does it mean to travel to a lot of places and ask a lot of people?

Gu Cang, who had always been unconcerned about the words of this lady's concubine, finally couldn't help but sneer, he could let you attack as much as he wanted, because he Gu Cang didn't care at all, but seeing that the fifth brother was framed like this, how could he bear it? Just like thirteen years ago, at the gate of the school palace, he couldn't help but want to stand up for it, because in his opinion, the fifth brother will always be his younger brother, how can he let outsiders bully?

And others don't know, doesn't he Gu Cang know the skills of these younger brothers, what he has a fancy for, it's nothing more than stuffing some money into people, if he can't do it, he will take it by force, where will it take any effort.

You must know that the Xu family standing behind the lady concubine is a general who commands the military strength of a state, a hereditary first-class pillar of the country, and has been a member of the imperial court since the founding of the Liang State.

Gu Xuan'er heard the deliberately suppressed words of Concubine Shu over there, and the hand hanging on her waist couldn't help but subconsciously touch the side of her thigh.

There was a wound there, where he was caught off guard when he was hunting the silver fox in the forest outside the city, and was attacked by a bear that came to hear the sound.

However, he did not say any of this, nor did he refute the disgusting words of those people, but just bowed his head silently, like a poor child who had made a mistake and was being interrogated by the adults, even if he was not wrong in the first place.

On the other side, Concubine Li, who was sitting directly below the virtuous concubine, the latest of the four imperial concubines to enter the palace, could only murmur softly: "This is all the idea of the concubine, because the capital has become colder and colder recently, and the emperor is running around every day, so the concubine wants to make a warm dress for the emperor herself, which is not because Xuan'er is not careful." ”

She didn't dare to offend Concubine Shu, because the power of Concubine Shu's mother clan was too strong and too horizontal, and in this huge harem, she almost had to stand on top of Queen Su in the world, and even Concubine De, who was born in a wealthy family in Jiangzhou, did not seem to be her opponent.

Such a person has a desire to suppress it, how can Concubine Li, who has no power and was able to enter the palace only by relying on the emperor's favor, dare to refute it? Not to mention that she has almost known about the old case over the years, and understands that the other party simply hates her mother and son, so she is already cautious enough to live on weekdays, and now she doesn't dare to argue about anything, just for the sake of her son, and wants to take the responsibility on herself.

Even if you can't resist, let yourself suffer this sin, the child is innocent after all.

Gu Xuan knew his mother's thoughts, so he couldn't help but want to clench his fists, but in the end he could only let go quietly and helplessly, he knew that he couldn't argue for the sake of a momentary mood, because that would only make their mother and son's life more difficult in the future, and life would be unsatisfactory, probably that's it.

He even wondered if his sudden decision to leave the capital was too selfish, and how could he rest assured that his mother was alone in this impersonal palace?

Seeing that Concubine Shu still wanted to say something, Queen Su on the side finally couldn't help coughing lightly, and then said softly to her husband beside her: "The concubine looks at Concubine Li's sister very hard, since she entered the palace, everyone has been served by her subordinates, and you don't have to do anything yourself, even the concubines have not stopped needlework for many years, and Concubine Li's sister is willing to embroider a dress for the emperor with her own hands, which is not easy, she works hard day and night, and even her fingers are stabbed." ”

Concubine Li, who had been hanging her head, subconsciously shrank her hand on the table when she heard this, and there were indeed a few pinholes on it, which were all made by staying up late to embroider clothes, and now it was scarred, but if you look closely, it is still quite conspicuous.

Gu Cang also stood up at this time and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, the king's ministers, the things in the world, it is not owned by the father, and the father is the king of a country, what can he not get? As a courtier, the gift is just to express his heart and celebrate the birthday of his father, even if it is a valuable gift, is it different for his father?"

Emperor Liang Gu Yi took everything in his eyes, and immediately laughed and said: "Cang'er is right, of course I know everyone's intentions, this coat, I don't think it's worse than the others, it should be rewarded!

These are the most ordinary gifts, even worse than those given to ministers, and far inferior to the rest.

Gu Xuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, and after this pass, he was relieved.

"Thank you, Father!"

Gu Cang and the eldest prince Gu Yuan sat on the main seat of the table belonging to the princes, and couldn't help but sigh softly, Concubine Shu is temporarily powerful, if Concubine Li gets more rewards and attention, she will definitely not be able to stop, this kind of ending is already the best, I just hope that the mother and son will not have mustard in their hearts.

With such a large family, it is difficult for the father to have a bowl of water.

It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, whether outsiders and family members are different, that is, they are talents in governing the country, and it may be difficult to deal with the shortcomings of these parents, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and it is not good to deal with any of them.

Seeing that the reward is so small, it can even be said to be extremely low, Concubine Shu doesn't bother to say anything more, she still looks down on Concubine Li, the mother and son, who has always been regarded as an opponent by her, is just Queen Su, and the suppression of Yongle Palace is just because of old things, Concubine Li's mother and son are not worthy of being targeted by her.

After this little episode, Gu Yi suddenly took the initiative to ask Gu Chuan, "What gift did Chuan'er prepare this time?" ”

Although Gu Chuan's mother, Concubine Xian, was the latest to enter the palace, no one dared to underestimate it, because the Gai family was the real shareholder of the big chamber of commerce across the entire Western Continent, although it was impossible to invest all the resources for a daughter who married far away, but even so, in terms of money alone, Gu Chuan may be the richest of the princes, but the status of the businessman is low, and he is not as good as the others.

However, the gifts he prepared were naturally not ordinary.

Gu Chuan is younger than Gu Xuan, in fact, he is not even a minor, but this year he made an exception to come to Furong Zhai to give gifts, so he naturally had to be prepared to be more attentive.

These six princes are really members of the royal family, and the others are not even qualified to give gifts in person, so they can only hand over a gift list to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor will see it when he sees it, and forget it and pass, it's as simple as that, there is no chance to show his face at all.

Gu Chuan stood up and arched his hand: "Father, the gift prepared by the sons for his father is not here. ”

This time, Concubine Shu didn't say anything cool, everyone understood that Gu Chuan's mother and son were from her side.

Gu Yi was a little surprised: "It's not here, where is it?"

"It's been sent to the Department of Teaching. Gu Chuan replied respectfully.

The Jiaofang Division is a court yamen that trains court musicians and dancers, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, and specializes in performing ceremonial music, singing, dancing and opera for the royal family, especially for grand festivals, such as the musicians and dancers who appear at today's state banquets, are all drawn from the Jiaofang Division.

Sent to the Department of Education?

Gu Li silently took a sip of the tea in front of him, with a playful smile on his face.

Gu Cang's expression was unwavering, and he didn't seem to care at all.

Gu Chuan looked left and right, and after taking in everyone's expressions, he explained to his father: "It is a spirit woman who was captured from the Eastern Continent, and after being trained, she can sing and dance well, and she has a unique style. ”

Although the Eastern Continent is far away on the other side of the vast sea of stars, there will still be businessmen who are not afraid of death who will take a boat back and forth to do business, this slave business is of course the most profitable, the Chamber of Commerce where the mother clan of the virtuous concubine is located naturally also operates the business of reselling human beings back and forth, the Spirit Clan is a race equivalent to the Eastern Continent and the Earth Race, close to nature, the same as the Shark Race, known for its beauty, the dancing girl of the Spirit Clan, on the Terran side of the West Continent, is simply priceless, and because of the special laws of the Western Continent, these Spirit Clansmen who were originally good at magic are similar to ordinary people in the Western Continent, and they are unable to escape at all, for the earth slaves who want to resist the escape at any time, the price is hundreds of times higher.

In the end, the southern side is relatively backward, the news is closed, and this kind of luxury has not yet risen, but among the countries in the atrium, there are countless things to raise slaves captured from the spirit race, and even let them cross and reproduce with the human race, this batch of five slaves is also Gu Chuan begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, you must know that this is in the atrium, it is not too much to sell you gold for ten thousand taels, after all, the spirit race is not so easy to catch, to say one-on-one, the human race at least has to be the most powerful group of martial artists may be its opponents, and they are all caught by traps, and they can catch one thanks to God's mercy。

Gu Cang couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, he didn't expect that an underage child would be able to say such a cruel thing as human trafficking so lightly.

Gu Yi here didn't see any likes or dislikes on his face, but said lightly: "I have also heard of the atmosphere in the atrium, since it is Chuan'er's heart, let's raise it in the Jiaofang Division first." ”

Hearing this, the face of the virtuous concubine who was familiar with politics changed slightly, she was one of the four imperial concubines, and she had been with the emperor for a long time, so she naturally understood each other well, and knew that this gift was given by mistake, and her husband was fundamentally different from the nobles on the other side of the atrium.
