Gu Rujiu was right. After she became pregnant, the thoughts of some palace maids started to move. Those who are secretive, who pretend to be pitiful, and those who are deliberately different.
In the face of great interests, anyone can show great potential. Gu Rujiu never dared to underestimate anyone, no matter whether they were as noble as the eldest princess, or as low as a rootless eunuch, as long as these people have their own positions and what they want, then any of their actions and actions will be punished. Not to be underestimated.
"Niangniang, do you want to see that palace maid?" Qiu Luo saw that Gu Rujiu's face was not very good-looking, thought she was angry, and hurriedly said, "If you want to see her, the servant will have someone bring her here."
"No need," Gu Rujiu stroked her slightly bulging belly, "He Ming did a good job of this matter." The most important thing now is not whether these court ladies have ambitions, but whether Jin Yang's attitude is clear.
Jin Yang did not disappoint Gu Rujiu. In addition to handling government affairs, he usually accompanied Gu Rujiu in the Zichen Palace. Because Gu Rujiu was pregnant with her first child, Jin Yang was extra cautious, and he almost didn't put Gu Rujiu in his pocket and carried him with him all day.
A palace maid deliberately approached him, he was actually more nervous than Gu Rujiu, why do you ask him
What should I do if I get angry about this for a long time, and the fetal gas is moved? Zhao Yuyi has long said that a woman's first child is very important. If something goes wrong, it will cause great harm to a woman's body.
He doesn't care about other things, but he is very careful about Jiujiu's body. Just because his own health is not good, he knows how uncomfortable it is to feel sick, and he does not want to let Jiujiu experience the sins he usually suffers.
"Your Majesty, this minister thinks this is inappropriate! The nobles should commit the same crime as the common people when they violate the law."
"Your Majesty, having said that, but..."
When Jin Yang came back to his senses, he saw that the following two groups of people were quarreling with each other.
Zhou's family is the mother's family of the Queen Mother. Although they have been incompetent and confused over the years, they have never caused a major incident. Who knew that this time they were so confused and beat up the scholar.
The most powerful thing about a literati is his mouth. If you hit a scholar, you will hit the literati in the face. It is no wonder that these civil servants in the courtroom are filled with righteous indignation. Those who don't know it think that the Zhou family has beaten them.
After being the emperor for several years, how could Jin Yang not know the personalities of the civil servants, so he let them quarrel, and finally Xuan Zhou's son defended himself.
Although Zhou's son is not proficient in civil and martial arts, but he has a good skin, and the Queen Mother is his aunt, so he is not nervous when he comes to the court. After courting Jin Yang respectfully, he will explain the cause and effect of the matter. came out.
"Originally, Wei Chen just couldn't get used to their eloquence, and he was going to eat in another place. How could he know that they actually involved the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager? Wei Chen was so angry that he started with them." Zhou Gongzi also Very bachelor, he is the prince of the Hou Mansion, and he grew up coddled since he was a child. He didn't care how many people he would offend, he just said it so bluntly.
Hearing that the queen mother and the queen were involved, Jin Yang frowned, glanced at the civil servants with their heads bowed in the shape of quails, and said solemnly, "What did they say?"
"They said, said..." Zhou Gongzi rolled his eyes, looked up and saw that Jin Yang's face was a little unsightly, and immediately shrank his neck in fright, "They said that the queen mother prefers the queen, and stopped your majesty from accepting the concubine. The queen is the harem. Lord, but because of jealousy, he dominates Your Majesty..."
Seeing that the emperor's face became darker and darker, Zhou Gongzi's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end he didn't dare to speak any more.
"I am deeply in love with the Queen, and the Queen is also caring and considerate to me, and I have already made it clear that I do not want to accept a concubine," Jin Yang said in a deep voice, "These two scholars did not study hard, but they learned to speak a long tongue. When someone talks about my harem family affairs, is this the way of a scholar?"
All the officials present were stunned, these two scholars still said such things? Who in the world didn't know that the emperor made a big fire in the court because he was forced to accept the concubine before, and no one in the court dared to mention this matter before the majesty.
It would be unreasonable to say that the queen is wrong. The emperor himself is unwilling, so what is the queen's business? You said that you two scholars, why are you worrying about this, and the Queen Mother's family heard it, you really deserve to be beaten.
"Your Majesty, this is only one side of Zhou Shizi's words. Wei Chen thought that these two scholars would have to be summoned and confronted at court to distinguish the truth from the false." A civil servant stood up, only to say that Zhou Gongzi was lying.
Zhou Gongzi snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction with a vivid expression.
Hearing Zhou Gongzi's humming, the civil official just took a small step to the side to show that he disdain to be in the company of Zhou Gongzi, and there was no expression on his face.
The other officials glanced at him sympathetically, knowing that you have guts, but don't make it too obvious. No matter how unsatisfactory the Zhou family is, it is also the Queen Mother's maiden family, your majesty's nominal grandfather's family. In front of your majesty, you despise the Zhou family so much, who are you looking down on
According to the rules, people without fame can't come to the court, but this case has already reached the front of the imperial court, and it involves the empress dowager and the queen, the two most honorable women in the Dafeng Dynasty, so the rules should not be followed. At times, you can only open one eye and close one eye.
Liang Yu didn't expect that he would come to the Jinluan Palace without any fame. He was nervous and frightened. When he stepped on the jade steps outside the Jinluan Palace, he didn't dare to look up or look around at you. The companions beside him were almost the same as him, and the two of them timidly followed behind the Janissaries, not daring to let out the air.
The floor tiles on the Golden Throne Hall were very bright. The moment Liang Yu stepped in, he felt dizzy and dizzy.
The whole hall was quiet, and many people thought they would see a scholar with a beautiful moon, but who knew that it was two timid students who walked in and had no gentleman's beauty, and the civil servants who originally helped them speak I couldn't help frowning.
Such a person does not look like a gentleman who is not afraid of power.
"Student Liang Yu has seen His Majesty, long live His Majesty." Liang Yu bowed to the end, and then saw his nervous face on the ground drill.
Although Jin Yang can't say that he never forgets it, he has some impression of the person standing below. A few months ago, when he took Jiujiu out of the palace to play, he met a rhetorical scholar in the Liyu Building. Isn't that the person
At that time, when this person talked about the Gu family, he was not polite at all. If he hadn't been outside at the time, he didn't want to let Jiujiu upset, this person would have been dealt with by him long ago.
Jin Yang saw that the two scholars did not shout. The officials present knew that the emperor was not in a good mood, so no one stepped forward to touch the bad head, so the waist of Liang Yu and his companions could only be like this. bent.
"I have seen you."
As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly a thunderbolt in the hearts of everyone. They all looked at these two students, not knowing what characteristics these two had, but they could impress His Majesty.
They are average in appearance, have little demeanor, can't talk about bearing, and have a very distinctive look of timidity. Is it because these two people are very wretched and special, so they remember them
Not only was the courtier surprised, but Liang Yu was also very shocked. He raised his head in confusion. After seeing the person sitting on the throne, his feet softened, and he was half-kneeling and half-sit on the ground.
How could it be him? !
What happened in Liyulou a few months ago was really impressive to Liang Yu. After that time, some students who had been friends with him began to alienate him, even his two friends. , and often find various reasons not to meet him.
Although he secretly hates these classmates who see the wind and is afraid of power, he is also afraid in his heart, afraid that the few nobles he met in the Liyu Building will settle accounts in the autumn.
After waiting anxiously for several months without any movement, Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then resumed his old life. I read books every day, study Chinese characters, and chat with a few new friends outside when I have nothing to do. I feel very uncomfortable.
Two days ago, when his talk was on the rise, a dude suddenly appeared from the side, and without saying a word, he took his servant and beat him up, so that he didn't have a piece of good meat all over his body, but there was no scar on his face. No.
The scholar was beaten by the playboys in the capital. For the scholar, it was simply a great shame and humiliation, so after going back and forth, the matter became a big one. In fact, he didn't want to pursue this matter in his heart, because he knew in his heart that if the words he said reached the emperor's ears, he would never have the chance to enter the officialdom in his life.
Facts told him a truth, there is no worst in the world, only worse. He never imagined that His Majesty was the nobleman he met in Liyulou that day.
Since this is His Majesty, the young woman who asked him that day was probably...
Thinking of the words he said that day, Liang Yu became more and more afraid, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. He wanted to say something to beg for mercy, but because he was too scared, he couldn't even open his mouth.
When the civil servants saw his appearance, they showed a look of contempt on their faces. They were so timid as a mouse, and they dared to talk nonsense about the queen mother and the queen. They really had no brains.
With Liang Yu's reaction, everyone didn't even need a trial, and they all knew who was right and who was wrong. Today's matter, Zhou Shizi is really not wrong. As the nephew of the queen mother and the cousin of the queen, isn't it just to protect their reputation
Although this method is a bit rough, and it is not right to beat people, at least they have a good idea. Of course, it would be better if you reported this to the officials instead of doing it yourself.
"A few months ago, every word you said was dissatisfied with the nobles of the aristocratic family, and even more critical of my Yue family. When I saw you first arrived in the capital, I probably didn't understand many things, so I didn't pursue it," Jin said. Yang said in a deep voice, "But now that several months have passed, you still haven't changed, or even intensified, and slandered the reputation of the Queen Mother and the Queen. I feel very sad about this."
The ears of the aristocratic families stood up, what? This kid has even slandered their family, whether it is bearable or unbearable, roll up your sleeves!
So the civil servants who had spoken to Liang Yu and the others turned around and criticized Liang Yu from head to toe. The main point is that there is no such black sheep in our literati team, and they are ashamed to be in the company of this person.
In the end, the eloquent Liang Sheng was stripped of his fame, and because of his bad words, his descendants could not enter the dynasty for three generations.
Seeing Liang Yu's defeated face, the aristocratic civil servants put down their sleeves in satisfaction and returned to their gentle appearance.
Since you look down on the aristocratic family, then these aristocratic family children can only show you the power of the aristocratic family.
Even the officials from the poor family did not come out to say a word for Liang Yu after His Majesty spoke. In their opinion, although their officials from a poor family are lonely, they do not need such pig teammates to join.
This farce ended with Liang Yu and his companions expelled from fame, and three generations of descendants could not enter the court as officials. Zhou Shizi closed his door and thought about it for three months. When this matter spread to the outside world, many scholars expressed a critical attitude towards Liang Yu's behavior, and some people felt that this person must have bad intentions for slandering the queen mother and the queen, and they were afraid of colluding with foreigners.
Some people think that Zhou Shizi is affectionate and righteous. Although he is a bit playful, he also knows the people who protect his family, so he has not rotted to the root.
No one sympathized with Liang Yu, let alone begging for him. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that a few days ago, they were still angry at the playboy boy for bullying the scholar.
Who would speak for a scholar who was rejected by His Majesty
In Kangquan Palace, Empress Dowager Zhou looked at her mother-in-law's sister-in-law with a somewhat unsavoury attitude. When she saw that she was twisting and turning, and finally brought the topic to her niece, she frowned.
"You grew up watching that girl, Tingting. You know what kind of temperament she has. If you enter the palace to serve your majesty, you will be able to serve your majesty properly..."
"I've said it before, don't mention it again," the Queen Mother Zhou said with a sullen face, "not to mention that the Queen is pregnant now, I can't let other women enter the palace to stimulate her, even if she still has a stomach in her belly. Sonless, I will not promise you this."
Mrs. Zhou was a little unhappy in her heart. What does the queen mother mean? She would rather protect other people's girls than let her own girl into the palace. This is simply ridiculous.
"Empress Dowager, why would the ministers be willing to let their daughters into the palace, but now that our family is not good enough, Tingting can't find a good husband. If you come to the palace, it will be a way out."
"Do you think that entering the palace is to enjoy glory and wealth?" The Queen Mother Zhou laughed angrily. "After entering the palace, how much suffering did Ai's family suffer and how much sin they suffered, otherwise where did the marquis in your family come from?!"
"The late emperor is indeed..." Mrs. Zhou still didn't give up, trying to avoid the last bit of face. "But today is different from the late emperor. If Tingting married into the palace, she would not suffer the sins of the past."
"If you don't do a good family, you have to enter the palace to be a concubine." The queen mother's expression turned cold, "Aijia disagrees with this matter. If you have any ideas, go to your majesty, and don't mention this in front of this palace. "
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou knew that the Queen Mother had made up her mind not to let her daughter enter the palace, so she had to wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "The minister's wife doesn't want to bother you with this kind of thing, but what's the minister's wife? How?"
Her husband is useless, her son is playful, the entire Hou Mansion is sitting on the mountain, other people look down on the Hou Mansion, and she doesn't want her daughter to marry someone from a poor family. Who knows the difficulties
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is here." Aunt Liu came in and said.
"Please." A smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face, which was a bit unpleasant in Mrs. Zhou's eyes. How much face does my sister-in-law have in front of the Queen Mother? How much status does Tingting, a niece, have in the Queen Mother's heart
On the contrary, the queen is particularly fond of the queen mother. When she was not married to the palace, she was often summoned by the queen mother. Now the queen mother treats her like a daughter-in-law.
The more I think about it, the more unbalanced Mrs. Zhou's heart is. In the Queen Mother's heart, who is her niece
Gu Rujiu rarely saw the Zhou family in Kangquan Palace. First, the queen mother did not often summon them, and second, the time may have just happened to be staggered.
After entering the inner hall, before saluting, Gu Rujiu was supported by Aunt Liu, and the queen mother said: "You are in front of me, why should you pay attention to these customs, sit down quickly."
"Mother-in-law is so sympathetic, daughter-in-law is more respectful than obeying her life." After speaking, she held out a box the size of a slap, "I heard that mother-in-law hasn't slept well recently, and she doesn't like to use incense. Daughter-in-law has some soothing tea here, you can drink it try."
The queen mother was not polite to her, she directly asked Aunt Liu to hand it over to her, opened the lid of the box and smelled it, and smiled, "It's really a good thing."
These things must have been sent to the palace by the Gu family, so the Queen Mother did not ask where they came from, but only praised them, just like what a mother received from her daughter.
Mrs. Zhou sat quietly on the side, watching the interaction between the queen mother and the queen. After waiting for a long time, she finally found an opportunity to interject, "The queen is really filial."
Gu Rujiu didn't have a good impression of this Mrs. Zhou, so she just smiled politely and didn't talk to her.
Who knows that Mrs. Zhou has not given up, and she is still talking to Gu Rujiu, her attentive attitude is simply suspicious.
It's not that Gu Rujiu is careful, but that Mrs. Zhou doesn't seem like someone who likes to compliment others, so she listens quietly, waiting for Mrs. Zhou to tell her true intentions.
"Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon seed now, I am afraid that the emperor will be short of someone to serve, how can you rest assured?" Mrs. Zhou smiled and looked at Gu Rujiu.
The empress dowager's face suddenly sank, and she said directly: "There are so many eunuchs and palace ladies around the emperor, can't they still serve them well?"
"Having said that, but the palace attendant is a palace attendant after all, how can you compare with a caring person," Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Our girl is about the same age as your empress, and has a gentle personality..."
"Mrs. Zhou!" The Queen Mother said sternly, "You've made a blunder." She knew that this eldest sister-in-law was stupid and impulsive. She didn't know her surname when she saw the interests, and she and her eldest brother were both short-sighted. But she didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so stupid.
Recommending your daughter in front of the queen, what kind of stupid brain can do it
If the queen is not favored, is not pregnant, and has a close relationship with the Zhou family, this possibility will probably be considered. But since her mother passed away, the Gu family has not had much contact with the Zhou family, so how can they be close to the Zhou family? There is also a harmonious relationship between the emperor and the queen, and the emperor is even more infatuated with the queen. In this case, the queen will only agree to this request unless there is something wrong with her brain.
Seeing the completely different reactions of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Zhou, Gu Rujiu knew that the Queen Mother did not agree with this matter, it was just Mrs. Zhou's personal wishful thinking.
She put down the teacup, smiled at Mrs. Zhou, and said, "Mrs. Hou's request, I am afraid that this palace will not be able to agree."
Mrs. Zhou was yelled at by the Queen Mother and was too frightened to speak, but she still stared at Gu Rujiu unwillingly.
Noticing her look, Gu Rujiu still had a smile on her face: "The emperor not only organizes government affairs, but also takes care of Ben Gong and the baby in Ben Gong's womb. I'm afraid he can't afford to care about other women."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned by Gu Rujiu's shocking words. Why did the emperor want to take care of her? !
That is the emperor, the lord of the people, how can...
No matter how stupid she was, she knew that something was wrong. The queen dared to say such a thing, so it was obvious that she was not afraid that the emperor would know. But how good should the two people's relationship be in order for the queen to have the confidence to say such a thing
The queen mother looked at her sister-in-law's panicked face, sighed, and lowered her head without speaking.
She should not intervene too much in this matter today, otherwise it will spread to His Majesty's ears, and there will be a rift between her and His Majesty.
"You're right, I've been dealing with state affairs and taking care of my wife and children, and I really don't have time to pay attention to other women. I also ask my aunt not to mention this again." Jin Yang strode into the hall and walked directly to Gu Rujiu's side, holding Gu Rujiu's Hand said, "I have no intention of taking a concubine. If my aunt mentions it again, it will make me unhappy for a long time, and I am afraid that I will also feel uneasy in my heart."
Mrs. Zhou's face turned pale, and she turned to see that the Queen Mother did not say a word, so she stood up tremblingly and blessed Jin Yang: "The minister's wife will never dare again."
It was just that she didn't say it clearly. If she made the Queen unhappy, then His Majesty would be angry.
What kind of ability does the queen have to actually fool the ruler of a country into obedience
Mrs. Zhou didn't understand. In her opinion, Gu Rujiu was not the most beautiful, the most temperamental in the capital, nor the highest and most talented. She really didn't understand why the emperor was so committed to her
But no matter how she couldn't understand it in her heart, she didn't dare to think about it, let alone mention the words of sending her daughter into the palace. Her intuition told her that if she made the empress unhappy again, the empress would not take care of the empress dowager's face, and the Zhou family would not have a good life.
"Empress mother, if you want to come and have something to say with your aunt, my son will not bother you." Jin Yang politely bowed to the queen mother, and then took Gu Rujiu out of the inner palace of Kangquan Palace.
Looking at the backs of Jin Yang and Gu Rujiu leaving, the Queen Mother sighed and looked at Mrs. Zhou with disappointment: "If I knew you were so confused today, Aijia shouldn't have seen you."
"The Queen Mother..." Mrs. Zhou was completely panicked.
"Go back," the empress dowager waved her hands wearily. "Recently, stay in the house honestly, and don't come out to cause trouble, otherwise Aijia won't be able to protect you."
No one knows better than her how important Jiujiu is to the emperor.
Dragons have inverse scales, and for a long time, for the emperor, they are inverse scales that others cannot touch.
