After the Qingming Festival, a small incident occurred in the palace.
When Concubine Yin was serving tea to the emperor, her hand shook for some unknown reason and the hot tea poured on the emperor's hand.
Even though the emperor favored her again, he became angry because of it and ordered Concubine Yin to be grounded for three days to think about her faults behind closed doors.
It only lasted for three days without any pain or itching. It neither hurt the muscles nor moved the bones. No one took it to heart at all. However, anyone who cared about it knew that the emperor was venting his anger on King Shou and secretly warning the imperial concubines.
Compared with the high pressure in the Royal Palace, the Queen's Palace is much more lively. After the Qingming Festival, many flowers in the palace were in bloom. The queen spent her private money and invited the concubines in the harem to enjoy the flowers and have wine. Even the emperor was alarmed and came over to sit for a while.
The queen took advantage of the Qingming Festival to chat about her former concubine, and shed a few tears in front of the emperor, sighing with regret.
While the emperor missed his old friend, he was moved by the queen's thoughtfulness and held the queen's beautiful hand in front of the concubines.
Empress Qin was moved to tears.
Afterwards, the emperor ordered Eunuch Li to send a frame of nectarines as tribute from foreign countries for the queen to enjoy.
Unexpectedly, the queen kept no one and rewarded them all to Prince Shou's Mansion. This matter reached the ears of the emperor, who said softly, "The empress is a model of virtue and gentleness in the harem."
In the morning of the next day, Emperor Baoqing praised King Rui for his outstanding achievements in the household department for the first time in front of all the civil and military officials.
The eyes of the officials looking at King Rui were immediately different.
King Ranrui was extremely clear-headed. The reason why he was able to get a few words from his father was not only due to his mother's secret efforts, but also related to the few words he said to Lao Ba in the royal study that day.
King Rui gradually became clear. Although Lao Ba behaves badly and has no chance of being crowned emperor, he is indeed favored by his father. As long as he is well-accompanied, he will not worry about his father not entrusting him with the country and the country.
How could King Xian not know what King Rui knew, but if he approached him with a shy face now, he would have missed the opportunity, so he could only hold it down for now and wait and see what happens.
He summoned the palace staff and secretly discussed countermeasures. He must not let the second child and the eighth child join forces.
There was a turmoil in the court, but it spread to Gu Mansion in just two days.
Only then did everyone in the Gu family realize that for the sake of a lunatic, the dignified prince and the seventh master of the Jiang family had gotten into a fight, and they had already reached the emperor.
Gu Yanqi felt as if he had eaten a fly. He couldn't spit it out and couldn't swallow it. It was really disgusting and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this girl was just sick and had just entered the capital. Otherwise, the emperor's words about the young lady in Gu's family would attract the attention of the bees and butterflies, which would make the whole family in Gu's family so tiring that he wouldn't even have time to cry.
While secretly feeling scared in his heart, he made up his mind to quickly settle this scourge's marriage. If something goes wrong again, the Gu family will be implicated by her.
Just as he was thinking this, the matchmaker of the Jiang family entered the house with light steps.
Looking back, Yan Qi personally took action and agreed to the marriage with the Wei family in Shou'an Hall. Matchmaker Zhang couldn't help being happy, and immediately asked for Miss Six's birthday and horoscope, and then went to the Jiang Mansion to report the news.
As soon as the matchmaker left, Gu Yanqi and his wife closed the door to discuss.
Mrs. Wei looked at the man's gloomy face and said, "Since I agreed, I have to take care of it. Who can handle this matter?"
Gu Yanqi said angrily: "Marriage matters will of course be handled by her mother."
"Master, I don't know whether to say something or not." Wei hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"you say."
"The person that the second daughter-in-law fell in love with for Sister Ling was also from the Jiang family, but it was the sixth master of the Jiang family."
"Is this happening?"
Gu Yanqi was shocked and immediately understood the deep meaning of his wife's words.
The princess fell in love with the Jiang family, but she never thought that the Jiang family fell in love with Liu Yatou. With the princess's personality, how could she be willing to do so
It would be fine if the sixth girl married someone else. She could just turn a blind eye and let her aunt do whatever she wanted, but it happened to be the Jiang family.
Jiang Jia Jian is in the emperor's heart, and he is the most disciplined. He does everything in a orderly manner and will never let the Gu family mess up. Gu Yanqi's scalp felt numb as he thought about the dragon-headed crutch his ancestor had just received.
The trouble, the trouble is a careless master.
"Master, leave the sixth girl's marriage to me." Mrs. Wei sighed softly.
Gu Yanqi's eyebrows twitched and his eyes lit up.
The old wife is the girl's direct grandmother. Let her handle the marriage herself. This will not only give the Jiang family a lot of face, but also prevent the princess from making trouble. Maybe she can also save him some money. It kills three birds with one stone, a clever plan, a clever plan. .
He pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "So, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as the matchmaker left in this room, everyone in the Gu family in the other room got the news and rushed to Miss Sixth's room.
Qingguan was drinking medicine from Yueniang's hand when she saw everyone crowding in. They said congratulations on the left and congratulations on the right, and she knew that the master had accepted the marriage to the Jiang family.
She pretended not to understand, and listened blankly to everyone's words, with even a somewhat foolish look on her face.
When the two concubines saw her look like this, they were filled with hatred.
It is said that comparing people to each other can make people angry, but Gu Qingguan, a lunatic, is younger than them all and looks average. However, he is the first to get married, and he is from such a good family as the Jiang family.
For God's sake, do you still have eyes? Why
Gu Qingyun bit her silver teeth into pieces and said sourly: "The Jiang family has a good family background, but this person belongs to the Seventh Master..."
Gu Qinglian was also very sad. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and sneered: "Second sister, you have forgotten that sixth sister has a dowry of one hundred thousand taels, which is enough to make Jiang Qiye lose for a while."
Qingguan was about to retort, but Gu Qingzhi said, "That's someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with you two. If you have such a taste for food, you might as well ask Bodhisattva to bless you two and marry a good man." "
Gu Qingyun saw that her second sister was standing up for a lunatic, and her beautiful features twisted into a fierce look, "Sixth sister is not in a hurry, why should the second sister be so anxious? Although Uncle Zhongyong's family is noble, it is still far behind the Jiang family." "
The implication is that you are not as good at marrying as a lunatic, and you are still protecting her.
How could Gu Qingzhi not hear the deep meaning in these words? She sneered and said: "The concubines are different, and the family background they marry is naturally different. Who told me that I didn't have to be born in the belly of the first wife? Third sister, you must be self-aware, don't Looking at the height of this mountain, the prince of the State of Yin is beyond your imagination."
"you… "
Gu Qingyun's cheeks turned red with anger. After giving her a fierce look, she ran away. As soon as Gu Qingyun left, Gu Qinglian couldn't stay any longer and found an excuse to escape quickly.
Mrs. Guan watched this wonderful show, her eyes turned to Qingguan and Qingzhi sisters, and she took the opportunity to retreat on the pretext that there was something going on in the room.
For a time, the maids and women who came to ask for rewards in the courtyard also received the rewards and dispersed in all directions.
The noisy courtyard finally became quiet.
Qingguan sighed, smiled at Qingzhi and said, "Second sister is so awesome, she can send people away with just a few words."
Gu Qingzhi hugged Jinye for her and sneered: "Learn from the second sister and don't just tolerate it. These two people are bullies and shy of the strong."
Qingguan smiled slightly and said modestly: "Second sister, I will learn from you."
"now it's right."
However, although Third Sister's words were a little ugly, they were true. That Jiang Qiye... Gu Qingzhi paused, sighed softly, and said: "Don't be a woman in life, and let others take care of your happiness and joy for a hundred years. As women, we have no other choice but to be at the mercy of others." . If your life is good, that's all. Marry a man who knows both coldness and warmth, take care of your concubine, and have children. But if your life is bad, then that's it.
…”
Qingguan sneered in his heart. No matter how hot or cold a man is, he will be dishonest in the end. The difference is that some do it earlier, when the woman is in her prime; some do it later, when the woman is old and loses her luster.
"Sixth sister, you have to think openly."
Of course she can think about it. In the future, the great revenge will be avenged. I will take Fu Bo Yueniang with me to find a place with beautiful scenery, open a medical clinic, recruit apprentices, and carry forward the Qian family's medical skills.
As for a man who knows both coldness and hotness, get away with him as far as he can.
Qingguan Youzi thought, Qingzhi Youzi said, "Fortunately, you are a noble person in that mansion. The ancestors, the three masters, and the madam are all sensible people and will definitely support you."
Qingguan knew that the second sister was complaining on her behalf.
Jiang Hongwen's reputation is really bad. It would be fine if he only had a word for sex, but he also had a word for gambling, and was nicknamed "the boy who spreads wealth." This guy has gold and silver in his hands. , all in ruins. This can be fatal.
"In the future, you should keep the money for your dowry properly. No matter who asks you for it, don't hand it over. Yueniang is loyal and you can rely on her. Women, you must have money in your hands. Stand up for your husband’s family.”
Qingguan felt warm in her heart and smiled softly. These words must have been taught to her secretly by her wife.
"Second sister, my mother has so much dowry money, and she can also cure diseases and save people, but she has not been able to stand up in the Gu family. It can be seen that having money is not enough."
Qingzhi was stunned.
A faint smile flowed from the corner of Qingwan's mouth. She blinked her eyes and said, "There is no certainty in everything. It depends on the character of the family. The character of the Jiang family is not too bad. It is a blessing for me to marry my sister. But the people in Zhongyong's Mansion cannot be sure. "Second sister, please be more careful."
Qingzhi didn't think about it for a long time, but Sixth Sister actually brought the topic to her, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that her words might not be unreasonable.
Although Liang Xi is a good person, the house is really... She Yingran was slightly tearful, which shows that people are not perfect, and they only take advantage of their wishes.
Qingguan patted her hand and said, "Second sister, don't be afraid. Your sister will make the decision for you later, so no one in the house will dare to do anything to you."
Gu Qingzhi just thought that she asked the Jiang family to make the decision for her. Her heart warmed and she wiped her tears and said, "You can do it."
That night.
When Mr. Gu came back from the Yamen, he was invited to the study.
"Today, the matchmaker from the Jiang family came to hear the answer. I agreed to the marriage."
The second master Gu was overjoyed and said, "What a happy event, what a happy event." Gu Yanqi sneered and said, "If I don't refuse, your daughter may be able to defeat the whole Gu family."
