After returning to the palace with Zhou Yan in September, he went to the back garden.

It was nearly dark.

Chun'er in the garden has already begun to order dinner, Gu Mingzhu is cleaning her hands, taking the dry towel handed over by Chun'er, wiping the excess water droplets, and asking, "Ah Jue is still busy?" ”

Chun'er lowered her head slightly: "I've already been invited, but the front hall is still deliberating." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Who are they?" ”

"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household are here, and I heard that it is about the drought in the region, and there is also the epidemic on the border."

Gu Mingzhu said again: "Wang Jian is also there?" ”

"Yes."

Gu Mingzhu walked to the table, looking at the dishes on the table, her appetite was not good, she ate a lot of oranges in the afternoon, and now she was not hungry, so she paced to the door, just as Zhou Yan followed September.

The little girl's legs were limping, obviously injured.

Zhou Yan looked up and saw her at the door, and a smile suddenly appeared: "Sister." ”

She held September's arm and barely jumped forward twice, and Chun'er stepped forward to support her.

Gu Mingzhu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" What happened to the legs? ”

Zhou Yan said honestly: "I was slightly injured, but it's no big deal." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked down at her legs, and indeed found no obvious blood stains and wounds, guessed in his heart for a while, and asked, "Twisted?" ”

Zhou Yan didn't want to say that he had a dispute with Wang Jingru, so he seemed to be very ignorant in this complaint, so he responded: "Well......"

She looked inside the room and said, "Can you eat?" ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Hungry? ”

Zhou Yan nodded: "I'm so hungry ......"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Then don't wait, let's eat first." ”

She took Zhou Yan into the seat and let September sit down, September was unwilling at first, after Gu Mingzhu called twice, seeing that he was indifferent, she couldn't help but say: "September, is it your own person?" Why are you still afraid of sharing a table with me? ”

September's identity is special, he has grown up with Xu Jue since he was a child, the nominal master and servant, in fact, the two are like brothers, and Gu Mingzhu has had a lot of intersections with him when he was in Jiangling, knowing that he is not a rigid person.

Seeing that it was postponed, he sat down disrespectfully and said, "Then thank you for the seat." ”

The three of them were about to move their chopsticks, and the attendant outside had already come to remind: "Master, the front hall is scattered." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were footsteps outside, and there was a faint sound of talking, which didn't sound like a person.

Zhou Yantong suddenly got up and stood aside.

Gu Mingzhu took a bowl of soup to herself, Wang Jian followed Xu Jue into the door, saw Gu Mingzhu on the table, and saluted: "Weichen has seen the queen's mother." ”

The corners of Gu Mingzhu's lips hooked a smile: "Lord Wang." ”

Wang Jian owed, and without her approval, he couldn't get up.

Gu Mingzhu's gaze swept around him, and after a while, he said unhurriedly: "No courtesy." ”

Wang Jian got up respectfully: "Xie Niangniang." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Sit." ”

Wang Jian didn't dare to postpone it, sat down in the lower seat, and waited for Gu Mingzhu to speak.

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's dark, Lord Wang let's eat together." ”

Wang Jian bowed slightly: "Niangniang's grace, it is an honor for the lower officials." ”

Xu Jue had already moved his chopsticks, and when he saw Zhou Yan standing aside, he couldn't help but say, "Ah Yan? ”

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Brother, I don't dare to do it." ”

Xu Jue raised her eyebrows slightly, put down her chopsticks, and looked at her: "What's wrong today?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled, but didn't answer, Zhou Yan secretly thought, since my sister deliberately asked Wang Jian to come to the back, she wanted to talk about the things of the past two days, but she spoke first about this matter, and became the one who complained, so she inevitably had to fall first.

Zhou Yan didn't answer, but Gu Mingzhu said loudly: "I don't know what's wrong, I went out and came back in the afternoon, I limped, I haven't had time to ask." ”

Gu Mingzhu's eyes also fell on Zhou Yan, and she seemed to be a little angry when she looked at it: "You went out to make trouble again?" ”

Zhou Yan pouted: "No ......"

"Look at your appearance and know that you're in trouble again, let's say, how can you get into trouble?"

Zhou Yan pursed his lips and lowered his head, not answering.

September on the side said: "Master, don't blame Ah Yan, she knows that your appetite has not been very good recently, and she wants to eat Deshengchang's food, so she took the attendant out of the house, but she didn't expect that she would get involved with someone in Deshengchang and hurt her knee." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at the two: "Fight with someone?" Joke! She is a princess, who in the Ming country is so bold as to dare to do something with the princess? ”

When September heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Jian on the table, and smiled meaninglessly: "It's also a coincidence, those two claim to be the young lady and son of the Wang family." ”

"Oh?" Gu Mingzhu looked at Wang Jian in surprise: "The young lady and son of the Wang family? Absurd! Lord Wang is such a high-spirited person, how can the young lady and the son of the family be such people! ”

Wang stiffened his head and nodded in agreement.

Jiu Su said: "I think so too, so I escorted people back and waited for the master to be released." ”

Gu Mingzhu seemed to be interested and said, "Oh? What about people? Bring it up to take a look, I'm curious, whose son and young lady actually dare to openly provoke the royal family, the family style is so unright, given time, will even I dare to fight. ”

The corners of Xu Jue's lips smiled imperceptibly, and he quickly raised his eyebrows and was silent.

September said: "Yes! ”

He took two steps outside and said, "Bring the thief!" ”

Soon someone pressed Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Jingru inside, and as soon as the two entered the door, they were forced to kneel on the ground, suffering from being tied up with five flowers, and they were gagged and unable to speak.

Gu Mingzhu's face couldn't see emotion, he looked at the people on the ground and said, "It's these two people?" ”

September arched his hand and said: "Master, it is these two people who openly do it in Deshengchang. ”

Gu Mingzhu's gaze swept over the two of them, his eyes were indifferent, he paused for a moment, and said: "If you despise the palace so much, despise the Gu family, and despise the princess, drag it down and kill it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Jian suddenly got up and knelt down on his knees: "Please calm your anger......

Gu Mingzhu was surprised: "Lord Wang? What do you mean by that? ”

She swept over the two people on the ground in surprise: "Isn't it that Lord Wang knows these two daring thieves?" ”

Wang Jian arched his hand, bent over, and lowered his head: "Niangniang forgive your sins, these two people are my unfilial son and unfilial daughter!" It's the Weichen's lax discipline, the Weichen's family style is not right, implicating Princess Jinghe, and the minister is guilty! ”

Gu Mingzhu was silent for a moment, and said leisurely: "Lord Wang, I didn't expect that these two people are really from your Wang family, Lord Wang worked hard for the drought, but the son and the young lady were doing nonsense at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Ruizhou City, which opened my eyes." ”

Wang Jian had already guessed that today's summons was not simple, but he didn't expect so many things to happen this afternoon, so he immediately leaned over and kowtowed: "It's the micro-minister's poor discipline, please punish the mother, but please be merciful and spare his life, the minister...... Wang Jian is willing to step down from the post of the Sixth Ministry as a warning! ”

Zhou Yan looked at September uneasily, she didn't expect things to develop into this direction, she probably knew that Wang Jian's weight was when the imperial court relied on it, if she stepped down, it would really be a big change!

Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Jingru's eyes widened for a moment, Wang Xiuyuan was fine, Wang Jingru looked at his father in disbelief, but he also had the same thoughts as Zhou Yan, and they all felt that they had stabbed the big basket.

Gu Mingzhu looked at Wang Jian on the ground indifferently, she paused for a moment, and her tone was slightly cold: "Lord Wang...... Is this threatening me? ”
