Cui Shi, the wife of Liu Yan, King of Dun County, was born in the top wealthy family in Hedong, and her spirit is extremely high.
But life gave her a blow in the face.
Her current life can only be described in terms of chicken feathers.
All kinds of nonsense things can't be hidden from people.
She knew very well that she had become a laughing stock in the eyes of her sister-in-law, relatives and friends.
Are you suffering
It must be bitter.
No matter how hard it is, she has to endure it.
Her pride does not allow her to bow her head, nor does she allow her to complain in front of others.
Even if she knew that her sister-in-law Xiao Qin'er was crazy about her jokes, and she would definitely bring up her matter when she went to Xiaozhu to chat with the empress. She also gritted her teeth and never let go.
She only hated that the man she married was too ridiculous.
Xiao Qin'er cheerfully talked to Gu Jiu about Cui's hard life, even though she spoke for Cui's injustice, it was more of a joke.
Gu Jiu said: "This is the third child's housework, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere."
She really didn't want to interfere.
I'm so busy that I don't have the time to deal with trivial disputes in the back house.
Besides, the Cui family was born in the top family in Hedong, and she is also a dignified princess. If she doesn't come up with means to discipline the women in the backyard herself, how can she expect outsiders to vent her anger for her.
In the final analysis, this matter depends on Cui herself.
Gu Jiu just didn't understand, what is Cui Shi afraid of
Why don't you dare to take care of King Dun
Why not clean up all the women in the backyard
What are you afraid of
Gu Jiu, who has always been tough in dealing with things, completely doesn't understand the meaning of Cui Shi's being a little bit low.
She complained, "Could it be that the third sibling has something to hold in the hands of the third child? Otherwise, what is she afraid of?"
Xiao Qin'er pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't know if there is a reason, I only know that she likes to save face, she just wants to save face and suffer."
Gu Jiu picked up the teacup, "I've lost all my face, what else is there to talk about."
After that, she told the palace staff, "Remember to pass this conversation to Princess Dunjun's ears. I really want to know what she is afraid of."
The palace man bowed to accept the order.
Xiao Qin'er was very curious, "Your Majesty is going to stand up for the third sister-in-law?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Of course not! I just can't see a woman with an excellent family background, but after marriage, she lives a miserable life and becomes the laughing stock of others. In my memory, the third younger siblings are high-minded and not weak What's going on with her these years? She has indulged Duke Dun's nonsense more and more. Even if the relationship between husband and wife is over, she doesn't want to take care of Prince Dun's affairs, and she shouldn't let herself be a laughing stock in people's mouths. "
Women have to fight for themselves!
With the support of her natal family, money in her hands, children and daughters, but her life is in a mess, it is time to reflect on what the problem is.
Xiao Qin'er said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Third Sister-in-law for a long time. I saw her a few days ago, and she is obviously much older."
Ever since Empress Dowager Pei passed away, Gu Jiu was not willing to hold a palace banquet, as he thought it was too noisy.
Liu Zhao also doesn't like palace banquets, and finds them bothersome.
The annual New Year's Eve banquet, since the death of the Empress Dowager Pei, Gu Jiu decided to change it to a family dinner.
Ever since, Cui Shi had no chance to enter the palace.
It is rare for Gu Jiu and Cui Shi to have the opportunity to meet each other.
"Are you old? When things go wrong, people age quickly." Gu Jiu nodded knowingly.
Xiao Qin'er said with emotion: "Although I gloat over misfortune, occasionally I feel that the third sister-in-law is a pity. Such a good talent, marrying the third child is really a loss."
Gu Jiu smiled, "The first emperor bestowed a marriage, who would have thought it would be like this."
Xiao Qin'er mentioned the second child's family again.
"A few days ago, I also met my second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law was calm, but she took good care of herself. Except for a few fine lines around her eyes, she looked the same as before. She thought about it and closed the door I lived a small life and managed my life in an orderly manner. The second child was demoted to a commoner, and he couldn't make trouble if he wanted to. Even when he went out, he had to ask the second sister-in-law for money. I watched in private, and the second sister-in-law is now at home. Just say the same thing, the second child has to look at his face."
The second child, Liu Ping, was released from Zongzheng Temple two years ago, and he was rarely heard from.
Gu Jiu laughed when he heard this, "I didn't expect the second sibling to be able to control the second child. I already know that the second sibling is a successful person, and everything is planned clearly. The second child now has to be raised by the second sibling, Naturally, I can't get angry."
"Your Majesty can see clearly! I was joking with my second sister-in-law. Although I lost my title, my life is getting more and more comfortable."
"How did she react?"
"It must be not very happy!" Xiao Qin'er said, "She blamed me for mentioning her pain, and gave me a blank look. I am a person, and the empress knows that I always speak straightforwardly, but I have no bad intentions."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "If I remember correctly, the second sibling is in the four seas, Huanyu has invested a lot of money, and they can get a dividend every year."
"It's still the second sister-in-law."
After chatting for a long time, Xiao Qin'er brought up the matter.
She wanted to give her eldest son Liu Zhengmou a real vacancy.
Liu Zheng is not good at reading, but he is good at wielding a knife and stick. He has performed extremely well in Beijing Daying these years.
Now Liu Zheng is only thinking about leaving the capital and going out to wander, that is to say, fighting.
Because of this matter, Liu Zheng was making noise at home all day long. It made the whole family restless.
Liu Zheng did look for Qi Wang Liu Yu.
However, Liu Yu couldn't get in the way of the military department and the clan leaving Beijing.
The army is firmly in the hands of Emperor Liu Zhao, and Liu Yu cannot easily get involved.
Xiao Qin'er thought, going on like this is not an option.
Only then did he take the initiative to come to the door, wanting to ask the queen to accommodate and give Liu Zheng a chance.
"Liu Zheng wants to go to Beijing to fight?"
"Hey! I'm also annoyed by him. He has practiced in Beijing Daying for many years, and Pao Ze has been on the battlefield one after another. He has never moved. He will inevitably have thoughts in his heart! I am a mother, watching him continue to be decadent , I couldn't bear it. That's why I had the audacity to ask the empress to give him a chance."
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, Xiao Qin'er was so nervous.
"I have heard a little about Liu Zheng's performance in Beijing Daying. He is a natural general, and I can understand if he wants to fight on the battlefield. How about this, the siblings go back and tell him to wait patiently for the news, and sooner or later they will give him a chance. I hope he will not It will disappoint the palace."
Xiao Qin'er was overjoyed, "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am! As long as you give him a chance, he will definitely not let you down."
…
After sending Xiao Qin'er away, Gu Jiu went back to the room to look for Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao waved at Gu Jiu, "Come and comfort me."
Gu Jiu rolled her eyes at him, "Who messed with you again?"
"No one provokes me, but it hurts badly."
Gu Jiu frowned, and looked at the sky outside again.
Rumble!
There was a thunderstorm, and it rained like a torrential rain.
When it came to cloudy and rainy weather, the old wounds on Liu Zhao's body became more and more painful.
Call the waiter to massage and apply medicine for him.
Barely relieved.
Gu Jiu said: "It's not an option to go on like this."
"I can hold back!" Liu Zhao was cheerful, he took Gu Jiu's hand, "As long as you stay with me, I can hold back. So you must not die before me."
Gu Jiu spat at him, "It's not dead, I can live for at least thirty years."
Liu Zhao laughed, "I live with my share."
Gu Jiu stretched out her finger and poked his head hard, "You've been talking nonsense all day long! Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"
"That can't be done! I hope you can live a long life, and keep an eye on Da Zhou's country for me, to see what direction our Da Zhou will go, whether it is prosperity or decline! We have agreed to find a way for Da Zhou. A new way out, you can't break your promise."
"What about you? I hear your tone, do you want to break your promise?"
Gu Jiu's face was as gloomy as water, which was really scary.
Liu Zhao sighed, supported his body, and said sincerely, "My body is probably not a sign of longevity. After listening to me, I will work hard to maintain my body and strive to live a few more years. But in case, I have to prepare early I said these things to you today, just to let you prepare in advance. When the day comes, I will leave, don’t be sad, watch the country and the country for me, and take a good look at the rivers and rivers for me.”
Snapped!
Gu Jiu slapped him on the back, "I've been talking nonsense all day long. You just walked away and settled everything, and all the burdens are on my shoulders. And let me keep an eye on Jiangshan Sheji for you, you treat me like me Is it an iron wall? Let me tell you, live well for me, and if you dare to talk nonsense, I will punish you."
Liu Zhao started laughing, "My good queen, I understand whether you are beating me or scolding me, or loving me. You feel uncomfortable, and I understand it too."
Gu Jiu tugged at his ear, "Don't smile. I'm serious. Don't take my words as wind. You're just suffering from an old injury. You're not terminally ill. You won't die early. You have to have confidence in my medical skills." .”
"Of course I have confidence! After using your prepared plaster, my pain has been relieved a lot. And you give me acupuncture every half a month, and the effect is very good. I will definitely live a long life."
Gu Jiu laughed, "That's what you said, long life."
"I will do what I say."
Liu Zhao solemnly promised that this was an agreement between the husband and wife.
