"Mother, it's absolutely impossible, mother." Just as the eldest Princess Deyi was about to board the car, her only son, Kang Pingbo, Shen Yuanfei hurried over. His clothes were scattered and he didn't care to arrange it. He knelt in front of the eldest Princess Deyi and persuaded him. Said, "Mother, the servants are guilty and should be punished according to the law. We are His Majesty's ministers, so how can we trouble His Majesty because of such trivial matters."

"But Bengong is still the emperor's great-aunt. Today, Bengong is still here, so these villains dare to come and humiliate Bengong. After a hundred years of Bengong, how will these people treat you?!" The eldest Princess Deyi looked Kneeling to his son who was kneeling in front of him, he scolded angrily, "You don't need to say more, this palace must enter the palace today, and let your majesty be the master of this palace."

"Mother..." As a junior, Shen Yuanfei didn't dare to block a car on the street, so he could only watch the carriage bearing the emblem of Princess Deyi's residence go away.

He stood up, bowed his hands to the right servant of the Punishment Department with a wry smile, and then asked the servants to prepare a carriage, and he wanted to enter the palace.

No matter how dissatisfied the eldest Princess Deyi was, she couldn't arrest the court officials and bring them into the palace. Although she said she wanted to bring the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment into the palace, she couldn't do it, so she could only go to the palace alone to cry.

Seeing that Kang Pingbo seemed to be sensible, the right waiter of the Ministry of Punishment returned a salute to him, turned to look at the housekeeper of the eldest princess' mansion who was being held up, "Uncle Shen, I'll take your leave."

"Sir Shilang, walk slowly." Shen Yuanfei folded his hands again, and his heart was full of sorrow. If no one was instructing, the Ministry of Punishment would dare to come and take people.

The right servant can do it himself, except...

"One emperor and one courtier," Shen Yuanfei shook his head and sighed, helpless to his mother's impulsive action. In this world, the master has already changed. Although the new emperor is young, he is... more ruthless than the previous emperor.

Since His Majesty took power last year, there seems to be little turmoil in the DPRK, but several officials from the second line of Sima and Li have been liquidated for corruption and perversion.

Although this emperor's actions are not as strong and fierce as the Taizu, but his character is seven or eight points similar.

"Uncle, the carriage is ready." The head of the princess' residence came to report.

He looked back at the carriage behind him and hurriedly boarded: "Enter the palace."

In the Zichen Palace, Gu Rujiu put down the silver chopsticks, then took the tea cup handed over by the maid to rinse his mouth, wash his hands, and before the water on his hands was dried, he saw Bai Xian hurried in and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress, the eldest Princess Deyi is here. Suzakumen cried bitterly and wanted to see His Majesty."

Gu Rujiu wiped her hands for a while, threw the Jinpa into the tray, and turned to look at Jin Yang: "It's almost curfew now, why did the eldest princess act like this?"

The eldest princess, who was proclaimed by the late emperor, was in agony standing outside the Vermillion Bird Gate. How could she be wronged, she clearly wanted to make Jin Yang look ugly! When it was spread, others said that these nobles in their palace bullied the elders. What kind of words are they like

"What is the eldest princess talking about?" Jin Yang took a clean brocade from the tray, wiped Gu Rujiu's hands thinly, stroked his fingers as delicate as the roots of onion, and said lightly, " Now that the palace gate has been released, according to the rules, it is not easy to open the door if there is no important thing. According to my will, the eldest princess is getting old, and I am worried that Ye Hanlu will seriously hurt the eldest princess. Ask why."

This is already the season of late spring and early summer, giving peacock fur...

When Bai Xian understood it, he led the order and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, and the eldest princess will be grateful."

Don't you want to tell your grievances in front of the palace gate? Then, let’s talk in front of the palace gate. If there is no major event, Your Majesty can’t let you in casually. If you are old and frail, Your Majesty will send someone to serve you and reward you with your precious peacock fur. Isn’t that considerate enough

Whether it is caring or not, only the eldest Princess Deyi knows in her heart, at least when she sees that although Bai Xian came out, there are only a few female officials holding things, her face is not very good-looking.

What does it mean that those who have no major incidents cannot be released at will

Dafeng has a rule stating that after the curfew, non-military and political matters are not allowed to enter the palace, but in fact this rule only depends on the emperor's mood. As long as he nods, it is trivial and can enter the palace.

Now the emperor actually told him that there is no important thing to enter, and I hope she will bear with her.

Bear it

The more she thought about it, the more angry the eldest Princess Deyi became, and her heart became stubborn. She imitated the famous princesses in Dafeng. She cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. She often mentioned her father and the first emperor. In a word, it is said that His Majesty is cool to the royal family, but every sentence does not depart from this meaning.

Bai Xian looked at the eldest Princess Deyi coldly, and when she was about to make trouble, she looked embarrassed and raised her voice: "His Royal Highness, it's not because Your Majesty doesn't want to see you, but it's curfew time, it's really inconvenient to let you Entering the palace. What’s more, there is a saying that the emperor violates the law and the common people are guilty, even all the officials in the court must pay attention to the Dafeng law. The people in your house privately occupy the private land, lend money in the name of His Highness, and even open a casino to cheat and extort money. How can such a serious crime be forgiven lightly?”

"My father-in-law said this, but His Majesty's intention?" Princess Deyi said angrily, "Since His Majesty doesn't want to see me, I will not bother you any more. It's a shame that when the late emperor was here, I went back to Beijing to visit relatives, and the concubines in the palace greeted me. , I have to be treated by the late emperor, and now that the late emperor is gone, it is difficult for this palace to even enter the palace gate."

After speaking, she urged the carriage to turn around and leave.

"Respectfully send your Highness the eldest princess." Bai Xian bowed and saluted with a smile, and he sneered after the carriage disappeared into the night.

"Father-in-law, this peacock fur..." The female official behind him looked at the precious fur coat in her hands in embarrassment.

"The eldest princess refuses to accept the favor of the emperor, so I can only report to Your Majesty according to the facts," Bai Xian flicked his whisk, and said yin and yang strangely, "Go back."

"Yes." The eunuchs in the back carefully carried the lanterns and returned to the Zichen Hall with the untouched rewards.

As soon as Bai Xian entered the Zichen Hall, he told what the eldest Princess Deyi did and said.

Hearing Bai Xian mentioning that Deyi had made it clear that Jin Yang treated her coldly, Gu Rujiu, who had been smiling all the time, finally couldn't help but get angry, she slapped the table and said angrily, "Why is she dissatisfied with Your Majesty, she is displeased with Ben The palace is dissatisfied, take the opportunity to attack Your Majesty!"

When the first emperor was present, all the concubines would greet her. This was to say that she, the queen, was putting on airs.

"Be careful, your hand hurts," Jin Yang saw that she was shaking the table when she patted the table, so he hurriedly grabbed her hand in distress, seeing that her palm was red, he persuaded: "You just persuaded me today, why are you now? Are you angry, sir?!"

"It's fine if she just talks about me, and she will involve you." Comparing the late emperor with Jin Yang, and saying that Jin Yang is not comparable to the late emperor, who is disgusting? If it wasn't for Gu Rujiu's sanity, I'm afraid she would have scolded her words now, "She was a prudent person in her early years, but now she is holding on to her seniority.

As soon as Gu Rujiu got angry, someone else came to report that Kang Pingbo left quickly after saluting in the direction of Zichen Hall outside the Suzaku Gate.

Bai Xian thought to himself that the people who were educated by the Shen family were definitely not fools, but it was a pity that they didn't stop the eldest princess.

He raised his eyelids to look in the direction of the Empress, and saw that the Emperor was blowing his palms for the Empress with a distressed face. He lowered his eyelids again, His Majesty is indeed not like the late emperor, because today's methods are much more ruthless than the late emperor.

In the middle of the night, Gu Rujiu didn't feel sleepy. She turned over two times in a row, and she heard Jin Yang, who was lying beside her, speak.

"Can't sleep for a long time?" Jin Yang's hand groped in the darkness, and very accurately placed his hand on Gu Rujiu's waist.

"Well," Gu Rujiu put her head in Jin Yang's arms, "Did I disturb you?"

"No," Jin Yang patted her on the back, "Still thinking about Princess Deyi?"

Gu Rujiu shook her head and said after a long time, "I miss my family." In order to avoid gossip from others, she has only seen her parents once since she married into the palace, and has never seen them since.

On the third day of March, although she sent Qiuluo back to the Duke's Mansion to send things, but compared with the purse she made by herself, what use is the most precious thing, and the Gu family does not lack these.

"If you think about it, invite them into the palace to sit and sit," Jin Yang knew that she was raised by her family since she was a child, and she has a deep relationship with her family, "I am here in everything, don't worry about what others say."

Gu Rujiu still shook his head: "Let's talk about it later."

Hearing what she said, Jin Yang knew that he would not call the Gu family into the palace for a long time. Thinking about it like this, he felt distressed and guilty, and he acted so cautiously for a long time, I was afraid it was to reduce trouble for him.

"Don't think so much, what if you are bullying others with me here?" Jin Yang's words were very sincere.

Gu Rujiu shook her head and sighed: "Chen Jun, aren't you afraid that you will raise a bad face for the country?"

Jin Yang smiled, "I'm not afraid."

It is "I" not "I", he is really not afraid.

Gu Rujiu laughed lightly, and after realizing that the other party seemed to be "on the verge of making a move", she turned over and said, "I seem to be a little sleepy." After speaking, she rolled the quilt and pretended to go to sleep.

Jin Yang, whose body was half exposed, was suddenly dumbfounded, he pushed himself into the quilt cheekily, and then fell asleep sweetly like this.

Two days later, at the small court meeting, some officials reported crimes such as the eldest princess Candeyi's murder of slaves and occupation of civilian land. Jin Yang left this memorial unpublished, and did not seem to intend to mention it.

Everyone remembered the behavior of the eldest eldest Princess Deyi crying in front of the palace gate to commit slavery two days ago, and couldn't help but think maliciously, this princess should not be with the housekeeper...

I can't blame the courtiers for being too evil. It's because the princesses of the past dynasties in Dafeng raised their faces privately and played with the eunuchs and eunuchs. Although the eldest princess Deyi is old, I heard that this Although the housekeeper is a eunuch and is more than ten years younger than the eldest princess, he has followed the eldest princess for decades and is highly valued by her. Who knows if there is anything filthy inside

A few days later, another official impeached the eldest Princess Deyi, saying she was extravagant and tyrannical. The reason is that there will be groups of servants and wives when going out, and there are records of killing servants.

In fact, many aristocrats from noble families have this behavior of executing their servants, but everyone still knows how to perfunctory on the surface and report a sickness or something. The eldest Princess Deyi was still in Sanggan County when she executed her maid, so she didn't take this matter to heart, so she was caught by Yanguan right now.

For a time, the eldest Princess Deyi's reputation was infamous, and it even brought shame to other royal family members.

This time, Jin Yang did not leave these impeachment memorials unpublished, but asked Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly investigate the case, in order to "return the innocence of the eldest princess".

Innocent, where can the innocence of someone the emperor does not like

Eggs can still pick bones, not to mention that this eldest princess Deyi is not an egg.

The eldest princess Deyi didn't expect that things would come to this stage. She was a little flustered, so she hurriedly entered the palace to ask to see the queen mother, who knew that the queen mother said she was sick. Recalling how the Empress Dowager was polite in front of her when she was still the Empress, the eldest Princess Deyi gritted her teeth and turned around and said, "Go to the Zichen Palace."

She didn't believe the queen was sick too.

The queen was not sick, but she forgot that the queen had been offended by her. Moreover, the queen was also cautious and guarded. She stood at the door of Suzaku and said that the present His Majesty was not as good as the previous emperor, which was long remembered by the queen.

When the eldest princess Deyi saw the queen again, her mentality was different from last time. It was not her grandson-in-law Sima who accompanied her into the palace, but her daughter-in-law Chen.

The Chen family and the deceased eldest grandmother of the Gu family share the same lineage. Although the blood relationship is a little farther away, it can be considered that they are passed down from the same ancestor.

The eldest princess Deyi brought her daughter-in-law for this reason, although she did not like this daughter-in-law very much in the past.

When Shen Chen entered the room, she saw a beautiful woman in regular clothes sitting at the top. Three thousand blue silks were simply wrapped up, looking extremely lazy, but with an indescribable sense of beauty.

Seeing the other party dressed in this way, Shen Chen shivered slightly, afraid that what he asked for today would be difficult to achieve.

This time, when Deyi saluted, he was no longer sluggish, nor did the elder's posture appear again, which seemed very sincere.

"It's all from my own family, so don't be too polite." Gu Rujiu asked the maid to show the two of them a seat, and then smiled apologetically, "I really didn't expect the eldest princess to come back today, so I was in a hurry, please don't laugh."

Only then did Shen Chen realize that the queen's bun was a little messy, and her cheeks were slightly red, as if she had just woken up. She was horrified, what time was it, and the queen had just woken up

What she can think of, the eldest Princess Deyi naturally also thinks of it, but even if she is dissatisfied at this time, but now she has something to ask for, no matter how much dissatisfaction she has, she can only swallow it.

"It is my blessing that the Empress is willing to see me despite her busy schedule," the eldest Princess Deyi's eyes reddened and her voice choked, "The slaves in the family are rampant, and they have done so many evil things. It's ridiculous that I am a Princess, even the servants are not well disciplined, which is really against the grace of the emperor."

The eldest princess Deyi is not stupid. If things are like this, if she has to protect the servants, then I am afraid that even herself will be implicated, so she simply puts all the blame on the housekeeper, at least she can wash it herself. clean.

After four generations of emperors, the eldest Princess Deyi has been careful for half her life, and it was not until the late emperor ascended the throne for more than ten years that she slowly supported her waist. Now that the court officials attacked her, she suddenly remembered those sisters back then. They were smarter and more beautiful than her. They were admired and liked by the young sons, and even the concubine was better than her.

But what happened to these sisters

Now that she thinks of the fate of those sisters, she feels scared, and looks at Gu Rujiu with more caution.

"It's really hateful for the servant to act against the master," Gu Rujiu took two sips of the almond milk tea handed over by Qiuluo, wiped the corners of his mouth and continued, "Princess is here today..."

"I came today to ask the Empress to apologize," the eldest Princess Deyi stood up and gave Gu Rujiu a deep blessing, "I'm not good at discipline, so I deserve to be punished."

Gu Rujiu raised his chin towards the palace maids next to him and asked them to help Deyi and Shen Chen up, and then said, "Princess, please rest assured, Your Majesty will let people find out about this matter and return your innocence."

Hearing this, Deyi felt bitter in her heart, but seeing the empress's unsalty and indifferent appearance, she couldn't keep entangled in this matter, so she had to start with Shen Chen's.

"It turns out that Mrs. Kang Pingbo is actually from the same family as her sister-in-law?" Gu Rujiu pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her eyelids slightly and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist, "It's a pity that I didn't know it in the past, so I couldn't walk for a while."

After the eldest sister-in-law passed away, I have never seen a funeral ceremony from the Shen family, and no one has come to offer condolences.

Many people in the capital know that she has a close relationship with her two sisters-in-law, but this does not mean that anyone can borrow this friendship.

Besides, sister-in-law's real family didn't mention these things in front of her, and Shen Chen, a distant family, had the courage to mention it

Hearing this, Deyi felt something was wrong, and frowned, "Empress Empress, where did you come from?"

"What kind of good words does the eldest princess want to hear?" Gu Rujiu sneered, "If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place?"

The eldest princess sank her face and said with anger: "Empress Empress, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Rujiu raised her eyelids to look at her, without saying a word, but with endless irony, and then without waiting for Deyi to speak again, she looked tired.

Seeing this, Qiu Luo asked with a wink, "Niangniang, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable." Gu Rujiu rubbed his forehead.

Seeing that the Queen was so embarrassing, Deyi and Shen Chen felt hated and annoyed in their hearts. Deyi sneered and stood up and said, "Since the Queen doesn't want to see us seniors, I don't want to bother you any more."

After she said this, Gu Rujiu didn't even lift her head, as if she didn't exist at all.

Deyi blushed with anger and left angrily.

"Mother-in-law," Shen Chen said to the eldest Princess Deyi with some unease after leaving the Qiankun Palace, "I look at the Empress and it seems like..." She didn't seem to like them very much.

Deyi shook his head and said with a heartache: "If the emperor only favors such a calamity queen, my Dafeng century-old foundation will be in danger, it will be in danger!"

Shen Chen's face was pale when he heard the words, and he looked back at the direction of Zichen Hall, as if there was a monster living there, about to devour people.

After the two of them left, Gu Rujiu put down her hand on her forehead and said coldly, "Are they too embarrassed to mention my sister-in-law?"

The third room of the Sima family wanted to send Sima Xiang into the palace, but the eldest princess Deyi helped to say good things. The elder sister-in-law died in the hands of the third room. She did not look for the bad luck of the Sima family. It would be strange if the mood was good.

Knowing that Niangniang was in a bad mood, Qiu Luo said a lot of interesting things in her ear, so Gu Rujiu slowly let go of her mood, but in the end she was a little uncomfortable with the Sima family and the eldest princess Deyi.

"The queen is not feeling well?" Jin Yang was reviewing the memorial, and when he heard the palace attendant coming to report, he hurriedly put down his imperial pen and asked with concern, "Can you invite a royal doctor?"

"Going back to your majesty, the imperial doctor said that the empress is not in serious trouble, but her body is a little weak, and it will be better if she takes more rest."

"I'm going to take a look," Jin Yang closed the memorial in his hand, and said to He Mingdao, who was waiting beside him, "Go to Xuantai Hospital to get a sentence, and then give the Queen a pulse."

"Yes." He Ming didn't dare to delay, he turned around and walked out. A little eunuch stepped forward to please him, so he wanted to run for him, but he pushed him away.

To do things for the emperor, he has to run by himself even if he is exhausted, how can he let others come together. What's more, it's about the queen, how could he let others ask for this

Gu Rujiu had just flipped through the book for a while when she saw Jin Yang hurried in, her face still not very good-looking, she put down the book and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Could it be that some courtier made him angry

"I'm fine," Jin Yang didn't ask her to stand up and salute, he walked up to her and sat down, "How are you?"

Gu Rujiu was stunned for a moment, only to realize what he was talking about, and then smiled: "It's okay, I'm just impatient to deal with Princess Deyi, so I found a reason to let her go."

"If you don't want to see her, next time you don't see it, don't make fun of your body." Jin Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was really fine. "This is not a trivial matter."

"Okay, I will pay attention next time." Gu Rujiu smiled and nodded, then said, "The matter of the eldest princess Deyi..."

"She is the eldest princess who was proclaimed by the late emperor. Although I can't abolish her, I can let her be the eldest princess to be honest." Jin Yang didn't want to bother her with all these bad things, so he said, "What are you looking at? Book?"

"Isn't the text book you sent someone a few days ago?" Gu Rujiu said, "It's quite boring, two brothers like a girl at the same time, and in the end, Dalang and Erlang are still good brothers, and the heroine is dead."

After hearing this, Jin Yang shook his head: "It's really boring." Thinking to himself, it would be better not to let Jiujiu call him Dalang in the future.

After a while, the court of the Taiyuan Hospital was sentenced. After he asked Jin Yang and Gu Rujiu for pulse, he gave each of them a prescription for self-cultivation, and then withdrew.

"It's better to take care of your body than to strengthen your body," Gu Rujiu said, "If the emperor has some free time, he can play five animals or something."

Bai Xian and He Ming turned their heads together, the emperor's ninety-five honor, playing five animals in the yard, can you watch it

"If you stay with me for a long time, you can give it a try." They heard the emperor say.

Come on, they still don't look at anything, don't think about anything.

Ten days later, the case in Princess Deyi's house was closed.

The offenders in the mansion are punished according to the law. Although the eldest princess is ineffective in control, she does not know about it after all, and a fine of two years is enough.

What, you said what would happen if the Princess Mansion lost its butler

It's okay, the royal people are considerate, they turned around and sent a capable housekeeper to the princess' mansion.

On the surface, this matter is over, but everyone with discernment knows that this is the royal family's dissatisfaction with the eldest princess.

The servants in the house were arrested, the princess was fined, and even the housekeeper was sent by the royal family. Is this the housekeeper or the princess

This is so caring, it just swells the face of the eldest princess.

But this time the eldest princess didn't go to the palace to make trouble, and she didn't cry out to the late emperor at the palace gate. Instead, she honestly wrote a letter of sin to the emperor, and then stayed in the princess's palace without going out.

I just don't know whether she wrote this self-incrimination book willingly, or whether it was written by her filial son.

After those who knew the cause and effect found out, they all laughed in private, and heard that the eldest princess had expressed dissatisfaction at the Suzaku gate for the sake of her servants, and refused to accept the favor of the emperor.

Now that the trouble with the emperor is not good, and you lose face, who cares if you are the eldest princess

The face and dignity of the royal family are all given by the emperor. If you offend the emperor, what kind of dignity is there
