"The daughter-in-law is fulfilling her filial duty."
Gu Jiu's words were shocking.
"Nonsense," Empress Pei was the first to rebuke. "Nonsense is nonsense, and you even dare to drag it into filial piety. Do you think Your Majesty and I are stupid?"
Gu Jiu looked calm, "Mother, please listen to your daughter-in-law's words."
Empress Pei snorted, "Very well, I'd like to hear how you show your filial piety."
After saying this, she looked towards Emperor Wende.
She felt relieved when she saw that Emperor Wende had no objection.
Gu Jiu organized his words and then said, "As far as my daughter-in-law knows, Aunt Huyang and Aunt Fuming have been at odds since childhood and have many conflicts.
In the past, Aunt Huyang was often suppressed by Aunt Fuming, and she was very depressed. However, due to the situation, she could only endure it.
This time, Aunt Fuming finally showed a hint of dejection because of the Sun family's affairs. Aunt Huyang had been feeling entangled for many years, and today she finally had the opportunity to vent her anger and feel relieved.
Relatives are divided into close and distant relatives. In the daughter-in-law's heart, Aunt Huyang is naturally closer.
Although it is inappropriate and against the rules to laugh at Aunt Fuming's jokes, but in order to let Aunt Huyang vent the anger that has been pent up in her heart for many years, the daughter-in-law has to fight.
Gu Jiu's words were well-reasoned and even Empress Pei was stunned.
Edit!
Keep editing!
No wonder everyone says that Gu Jiu is eloquent, she is not wronged.
It was clearly nonsense, but in her mouth it became filial piety.
Ha ha……
This is what it means to confuse right and wrong.
Empress Pei glanced at Gu Jiu with a half-smile, then looked at Emperor Wende, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Emperor Wende wanted to laugh, but held it back.
He was shocked by Gu Jiu's serious nonsense.
He asked Huyang, "Huyang, what do you think?"
Princess Huyang was still in shock.
She was wondering, was everything that happened today really as Gu Jiu said?
Why did she feel like she was just watching the fun and didn't think too much about it?
Whatever Hu Yang was thinking was almost written on his face.
Before Hu Yang could speak, Gu Jiu spoke first, "Aunt is very generous and naturally won't dwell on the past. But a broken heart will always leave scars. Scars always hurt. I am only doing my best to help you heal the scars in your heart. I hope that after today, your heart will be gentler and more at ease."
Huh? Is that so?
Hu Yang was bewildered.
She was just watching the fun, but could there be such a profound meaning in it?
Huyang shook his head, feeling a little dizzy.
She looked like she had been fooled by Gu Jiu and was completely lost.
Emperor Wende couldn't bear to watch.
Hu Yang was as foolish and stupid as ever. Fortunately, Gu Jiu had no ill intentions, so Emperor Wende was able to let Hu Yang and Gu Jiu interact with him.
Emperor Wende coughed lightly and said with a stern face, "Huyang, what on earth are you thinking?"
Hu Yang came back to his senses and hesitated for a moment, "It's almost like what my nephew's wife said. I just wanted to heal the scars in my heart."
Phew!
Empress Pei couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She quickly calmed down, waved her hand, and told everyone not to take it seriously.
Bullshit to heal the wounds in my heart.
These words coming from Gu Jiu's mouth are full of analysis of human nature and are convincing.
The same words, when spoken by Hu Yang, became a joke.
Huyang, oh Huyang, have you forgotten that you are uneducated?
Even if you just read from a script, you should at least have some knowledge in your head.
Empress Pei's shoulders twitched, and she was clearly laughing. She was almost dying of laughter at Huyang's laughter.
Emperor Wende also had a hard time enduring it, gripping the desk with both hands very hard.
Otherwise, he would definitely laugh.
However, in order to maintain his imperial dignity, Emperor Wende was determined not to laugh in front of Huyang.
Otherwise, Huyang will climb up the pole and make things worse.
This is absolutely not allowed.
Gu Jiu trembled twice and then controlled himself.
Can this funny guy Huyang speak properly?
“Ahem…”
Emperor Wende coughed twice, his face stern, and he shouted angrily, "Nonsense, complete nonsense. You are clearly just here to make fun of Fu Ming."
Hu Yang admitted this generously, "When my father was still alive, she laughed at me a lot. Now I am just following her example and using her own tricks on her."
"Ridiculous! What do you think this place is? A street corner, a place for you to quarrel? This concerns the reputation of the royal family, and you are deliberately making fun of it. How outrageous!"
Emperor Wende spoke harshly and sternly, and dared not say anything.
She only dared to murmur secretly, "Zhou Yi's divorce has nothing to do with the royal family. Her last name isn't Liu, so how can she be considered a member of the royal family?"
"What did you say?" Emperor Wende asked sternly.
Hu Yang shook his head repeatedly in denial, "I didn't say anything."
Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "No matter how much dissatisfaction you have, you must endure it. You are not allowed to spread the news about Fu Ming. If I knew about this and spread it, I would not let you off easily."
Hu Yang was unwilling to accept it. "My Royal Brother is too harsh. I am not the only one present today. Do you think that if others spread gossip about Fu Ming, you will also blame me? I don't accept it."
Emperor Wende didn't give her any face. "Even if you don't accept it, just keep it to yourself. No bargaining with me."
Hu Yang opened his mouth, but facing the fierce gaze of Emperor Wende, he could only hold back his disobedience.
Emperor Wende glared at Gu Jiu, "You are so eloquent and flattering. You turned black into white."
"The daughter-in-law knows her crime."
Gu Jiu admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.
Don't even think about reasoning with the emperor.
The emperor is the most unreasonable person in the world.
Anyone who tries to reason with the emperor will basically not have a good ending.
Gu Jiu is a man of insight and a man of talent. She has always been very discerning and would never do anything that would thwart any goal.
Emperor Wende asked, "Do you know what's wrong?"
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, "My daughter-in-law shouldn't have followed Aunt Huyang into the palace. She should have persuaded her."
Emperor Wende hummed, "It seems you have some self-awareness. You're not so arrogant as to think you're fulfilling your filial duty."
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched. She just made up an excuse to let both parties save face, but she didn't expect Emperor Wende to be so dissatisfied.
Emperor Wende added, "Go back and confine yourself to the inner chambers for a month to reflect on your mistakes. Never again engage in such mischief with Huyang."
"My daughter-in-law obeys your order."
Grounded for a whole month.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, Gu Jiu had no objection to the house arrest.
She doesn't like going out when the weather is cold, and she doesn't like going out when the weather is hot either.
Just treat the house arrest as a vacation for yourself and spend time with Brother Yu.
Emperor Wende pointed at Huyang again and said, "You, go back and reflect on your mistakes for six months. You are not allowed to leave the Princess's Mansion until the time comes. If you dare to disobey, the confinement period will be doubled."
Hu Yang opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
"Royal brother, are you really going to ground me? Can it be three months?"
"If you dare to speak again, you will be confined to your home for a year." Emperor Wende showed no mercy.
Princess Huyang looked aggrieved, with tears rolling down her face, looking very pitiful.
Emperor Wende was unmoved and dismissed the man with a wave of his hand.
Hu Yang ran out crying, she wanted to complain to Empress Dowager Xiao.
Gu Jiu took the opportunity to say goodbye.
She was only one month old, but Hu Yang was half a year old. It seemed that Emperor Wende had a lot of accumulated dissatisfaction with Hu Yang.
Moreover, she is half a homebody and can adapt well to not going out for a month.
But Huyang can't do that.
Hu Yang likes socializing, so asking her not to go out for half a year really hits her soft spot.
No wonder Huyang was so sad.
Gu Jiu did not go to the Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Xiao would definitely scold her, so she didn't want to embarrass herself.
Gu Jiu went straight out of the palace and returned to the prince's mansion, where he began to reflect on his mistakes and live his life behind closed doors.
Liu Zhao comforted him, "It's good to be confined for a month. Take this opportunity to recuperate and give Yu Ge'er a brother or sister as soon as possible."
Gu Jiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Being pregnant and having a baby is so hard."
Liu Zhao: "..." What can he say? Does he dare to refute?
After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Yu, it's so pitiful to be all alone. If you encounter problems in the future, you won't have any brothers to help you."
Gu Jiu flipped through the storybook and ignored his words.
Seeing this, Liu Zhao decided to use a hard approach since soft tactics didn't work.
He picked up Gu Jiu and said, "We've sweated a lot today, let's take a shower together."
"Oh, put me down."
Gu Jiu was shocked. He didn't expect Liu Zhao to do this. It was so shameless.
“No!”
Carry the person into the bathroom, wet his clothes, and wash them even if you don't want to.
The bath lasted for a long time, and Gu Jiu's waist and legs were sore and his voice was almost hoarse.
Once I lie down on the bed, I’m afraid I won’t want to move for the rest of the day.
She bit the quilt and cursed, "You stinky hooligan."
Liu Zhao looked very proud, as this title well reflected his strength.
"Shameless."
Liu Zhao: “…” Your Highness will take it all as praise.
Gu Jiu: Oh, oh, the difference in physical strength between men and women is too great, I can't resist. This is such a sad truth.
In the following days, Gu Jiu lived a happy life like a pig.
In just a few days, she felt that she had become a little rounder, but she had no motivation to stand up and exercise to lose weight.
Anyway, I'm still young and have a fast metabolism, so even if I get fat, I won't get too fat.
Um!
That's how she comforted herself.
When she became plump, Princess Fuming's mansion fell into great panic.
Finally, an imperial decree came from the palace.
One is the empress's decree, and the other is the emperor's decree.
Empress Pei issued an imperial decree, ordering Sun Minzhi and Zhou Yi to divorce and marry separately from now on, and to have nothing to do with each other. At the end of the decree, she also reminded Princess Fuming to discipline Zhou Yi properly and not to lose face for the royal family.
By now, Princess Fuming was already prepared for the divorce, so she wasn't surprised by the imperial decree.
What terrified her was the emperor's edict.
In his imperial edict, Emperor Wende reprimanded her for her poor parenting skills, and ultimately demoted her from the rank of Princess to that of Commandery Princess. Half of her current rank and salary had to be returned to the Ministry of Revenue.
Princess Fu Ming, no, from now on she should be called Princess Fu Ming, didn’t even have time to receive the imperial edict. She fainted.
