Shameless! Really shameless!
The emperor who is above millions of people actually uses such a method to shut up his subjects! Shen Qingqiu hid in Liu's arms, sobbing in fear on the surface, but constantly sneering in his heart.
Lin Xuanfeng was also stunned. He was born into a noble family and had always been upright. How could he have imagined that the greatest ugliness in the world would be right before his eyes?
The emperor couldn't think so much. Although he was a little annoyed with Changping after this, he had to protect Changping because he had the blood of the royal family! After all, the royal family was different from ordinary people.
"Retreat!"
——
It's like a farce, it came quickly and went quickly.
"You cry well." Gu Yong said, deliberately teasing Shen Qingqiu, "You are a good candidate for acting."
"You're also a good actor," Shen Qingqiu said, not to be outdone: "Mom, did you see that? This man is much better at acting than a woman. Even if you two are going to get married in the future, don't be so stupid as to put all your heart on him."
These words made Gu Yong raise his hands completely.
Shen Qingqiu got on the sedan chair and looked at Lin Xuanfeng and Master Lin who were both in a state of despair. She had been getting along well with Lin Xuanfeng these past few days, and she thought to herself that he was quite happy. "He seems very unhappy." Thinking of Lin Xuanfeng's attitude of not stopping until the case was solved, she frowned and asked, "Is it so hard for him to not find out the truth about Changping?"
Gu Yong smiled and touched her head.
There are some things that even a young person cannot understand, even with a clear mind.
"When a person's beliefs since childhood are uprooted, he can still stand firm and leave the palace with Master Lin. This can be regarded as Master Lin's usual teaching by words and deeds. "
Shen Qingqiu was not stupid, on the contrary he was very smart and understood everything. Thinking about it, he sneered, "This dirty emperor is worthy of this?"
Gu Yong made a hushing gesture and pointed to the sky, but his face was full of sarcasm.
"Well, I have picked up a lot of bad luck since I went to the palace today. Go home and take a pomelo leaf bath to get rid of the bad luck."
Since Marquis Gu said so, Mother Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with considering entering the palace as bad luck, so she quickly agreed, and sure enough, everyone in the group went back and took a pomelo leaf bath.
The carriage went farther and farther away, and at this moment a slender figure passed through the palace gate and walked slowly towards us.
The weather is not so cold now, but he is still wearing extremely thick clothes. His delicate eyebrows and slightly thin body make him look like a famous painting that needs to be collected.
"Your Highness, why are you walking so fast? The imperial physician told you not to walk fast!" Wang Xi hurried over and put the cloak on him first.
But Gu Yanwei stopped him, "I said, I'm not cold."
He was so stubborn that Wang Xi had no choice.
Gu Yanwei's eyes were only fixed on the Gu family's carriage outside. After a moment, he said, "I seemed to see Shen Qingqiu."
Wang Xi said, "That must be the case. Something big happened in the palace today, and Lord Gu and the top scholar's family are all here."
Gu Yanwei's expression was cold to begin with, and it became even colder after hearing these words. After a long while, he said, "Liar." She had clearly agreed to treat him, but in the past six months, she never even looked at him. Not to mention the palace, whether it was the Qionglin Night Banquet or today, didn't she have a chance? The only explanation was that she had never taken herself seriously.
Gu Yanwei put on a bitter smile, and his hand couldn't help but pinch his aching heart, "Who would admire a dying person?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't think like that. His Majesty has invited so many miracle doctors to treat you. You will be cured one day!" Wang Xi said hurriedly, fearing that his master would be unable to get over it.
The corners of Gu Yanwei's lips twitched, but his eyes were dim.
"Your Highness, let's go see the Emperor first. The Emperor is furious now. If you go, I'm afraid it won't be enough to calm him down." Wang Xi was very anxious. "If the Empress angers the Emperor and someone else takes power, Your Highness, you——"
Regardless of whether Empress Pei was good or not, at least she had been in charge of the inner court for many years, and her methods were more fair than others. And that imperial concubine was so stupid that she wanted to kill him directly, and Gu Yanwei knew it very well.
He smiled coldly, "Let's go."
The two of them rushed to the hall one after the other.
Before I even entered, I heard the emperor getting angry.
"You are the queen! Changping is a little girl with no brains, don't you have any brains too? You actually teamed up with her to do such a stupid thing! Where can I put my face? Where can I put the face of the Gu family!"
The expression on Empress Pei's face was pale and yellow. She could tolerate the emperor's indifference, but his scolding made her feel particularly humiliated.
"If you can't be a good queen, I think you shouldn't be one. Didn't the imperial concubine manage the harem well before—"
Empress Pei's face changed, but at this moment, the senior palace maid beside her suddenly spoke, "Why is His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince here? Quick, make some hot tea for His Royal Highness!" The palace maid helped Gu Yanwei sit down and showed her concern. Gu Yanwei had a faint smile on his face from beginning to end.
Empress Pei also said: "Xiao Jiu is not feeling well, why did she come here suddenly?"
Gu Yanwei then spoke, gently and politely: "Brother Crown Prince said he got a new chessboard and came to play chess with me."
"The same goes for your prince brother. You are not feeling well, so he should go find you." Empress Pei said, as if scolding the prince, but also letting the emperor see clearly that the only one who would be kind to this sickly Gu Yanwei and wait for him to leave would be the prince.
The emperor's anger subsided a little, and he looked at his son's pale face and asked, "Why are you running away in your state? Where is the prince?"
Gu Yanwei said, "Father, don't blame the Crown Prince. I am usually too lazy to walk around. The doctor said I should walk around once or twice, so the Crown Prince asked me to come and play chess with him every day. I didn't see him in his palace just now, so I thought of coming to Queen Mother's palace to look for him."
When the emperor heard this, his brows relaxed. Even if he was not as good as the late emperor, at least his sons were all friendly and respectful to each other.
Only then did my son's anger in the morning calm down a little.
"Well, where is the prince?" asked the emperor.
The maid said hurriedly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the front hall. I just went to the Crown Prince's Palace to report to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, but His Royal Highness was fast and I couldn't catch up with him." The Emperor didn't care. He waved his hand and looked at his beloved son again, tidying up his drooping braids. "It's the changing season now. You are not in good health. You need to take care of yourself. The servants can't be considerate in every aspect of your care."
Gu Yanwei nodded, and Empress Pei also said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since the Ninth Prince moved in next to the Crown Prince, hasn't his complexion gotten better day by day?"
The emperor looked at his son's face carefully, then pinched it and said, "It looks better than before."
"Well, since you want to find the prince, let's go."
Gu Yanwei nodded obediently and said, "I will take my leave."
After sending Gu Yanwei away, the emperor was obviously not as angry as before. Empress Pei also softened her voice a little, "It was I who did something wrong. Changping came to tell me about it. I thought that Marquis Gu had become more and more rampant these days, and it would be good to suppress his arrogance. Who could have expected that..."
"It's my fault. Your Majesty, please punish me if you want."
The emperor would not punish her at this point, "The queen also did something wrong with good intentions..." He sighed again, "Over the years, the queen has taken good care of Xiaojiu. Today, I was too impatient--" After thinking for a while, he said, "Changping has become more and more unreasonable these days. The queen needs to discipline him."
Empress Pei nodded and watched the emperor leave.
"Thanks to the Queen's cleverness, she knew it would be helpful to call the Ninth Prince." The maid beside her hurriedly helped Queen Pei sit down.
Empress Pei sat down on the couch, half-closed her eyes and thought about the past. Ten years ago, as the daughter of the Pei family, she had just entered the Communist Party, but the palace had long been favored by Concubine Xue. How could she, the empress, compare with the concubine with deep roots... Fortunately, although the Xue was beautiful, she was a useless person.
If she hadn't saved Gu Yanwei, how could she have been able to sit on the throne of queen so smoothly.
Gu Yanwei - the emperor's most beloved son. As long as he is with her, her position as queen will be secure in the end.
There are many things happening in the palace, but there are even more things happening in the Liu family outside the palace.
Princess Changping was taken into the palace to take care of her for a few days, so naturally she had no time to ask them for anything. Outside the palace, they were busy with the wedding of Liu and Gu Yong, which was put off day by day and finally put on the agenda.
There are rules for what to do with the Gu Marquis's Mansion, and it must be done according to Gu Yong's rank, but Liu is a commoner, and now a merchant, so it's all up to her. Shen Qingqiu is naturally not stingy with his mother, and all the houses, fields, and various gems are stored in the warehouse, waiting for Liu to bring into the Gu family as a marquis' mansion.
Jin Cai felt heartbroken watching box after box of things being carried away.
"Some people in the Gu family are still looking down on others. They wonder if they can earn so much money in their lifetime!" Jin Cai couldn't help feeling distressed when she thought that the madam's dowry would be stored in the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion.
Shen Qingqiu patted the box and saw that it was almost done, then he said: "When you marry Tu Jiu in the future, I will give you a generous share as well."
Jin Cai covered her face with her hands and said shyly, "What are you talking about, young lady? There is nothing to it!"
"Okay, then pretend not to give it to me."
"No, that won't work!"
Mother Chen smiled unkindly and brought some snacks over, "You're almost ready, so take a break. You'll be even busier on the wedding day." Jin Cai covered her neck, not to mention the wedding, her neck was hurting from just getting all the dowry together today. She looked at Shen Qingqiu again and thought: The girl is in good health.
September was the golden autumn day when Gu Yong and Liu got married.
After a long period of hardship, Gu Yong is finally going to win the beauty. He is so elated that he totally ignores the jealous and resentful looks in the mansion.
