Guan Suyi, together with Guan's father, finally dissuaded Mr. Guan, who wanted to scold Xu Guangzhi for his perverted behavior, and then went out to say goodbye.

"Xu Guangzhi is a villain, and he likes to pretend to be a gentleman. Father, you must take more precautions against him in the future. If this recommendation is not successful, he may use some means." Before getting into the car, Guan Suyi reminded him repeatedly. His grandfather's literary name was destroyed in his previous life, and his father had no hope of becoming an official. Among them, there was no lack of Xu Guangzhi's means. After all, the two were giants of Confucianism, and both their talents and abilities overwhelmed him. He was extremely jealous and wished that the Guan family could be put to death. If it weren't for the critical moment, she married into the Hou's mansion and got asylum, the Guan's family would have been destroyed by his rectification.

Therefore, she would be grateful to the Hou Mansion and try her best, but in the end it ended bleak. The past is over, and when she comes back in this life, she must eliminate all hidden dangers one by one. Like Xu Guangzhi, a person who has talent but no virtue, it is better not to go out of the court and harm the people.

Guan's father nodded and said yes, and warned in a warm voice, "I have a charter in my mind about Xu Guangzhi, and I will never be used by him, let alone be framed by others. You just live your life in peace, and don't need to worry about irrelevant people. Your Majesty is wise and martial, self-denying and serving the public. Although Ye Jieyu is his favorite concubine, she has absolutely no reason to slap the face of an important official for the favored concubine. When the time comes, I will let the Ye family understand the consequences of provoking the Guan family. "

"I'm bothering my father to worry about me all the time, my daughter is not filial." Guan Suyi's eyes were full of tears, and she forced a smile, "My grandfather is upright, not ordinary, and doesn't understand the world, so he will inevitably offend his colleagues in the court, and I hope my father will be more. Perfect for him."

Seeing that his daughter treats the old man like a child, Guan's father can't help but smile, "Okay, I'll save it. Our little Yiyi has also grown up and knows how to take care of his grandfather and father, and will be a rare good wife and mother in the future. ." Recalling Zhao Luli's lack of tone, he suddenly turned cold and sighed, "If there is no marriage decree, I will never let you marry into the Zhao family, but it's okay, the Zhao family will have me and your grandfather for a day. I can't bully you half a point, laughing and scolding, acting recklessly, how you lived in the past and how you will live in the future, you don't need to be timid and look forward to the future."

"Well, I can save it too." Guan Suyi then showed a sincere smile. The people who know her best and protect her the most are her family.

On the other side, the father and daughter bid farewell reluctantly. On this side, Emperor Shengyuan has returned to the Weiyang Palace and is rummaging through the huge library.

"What kind of book your majesty wants to read, just sign up for the name, the servant will remember it in his mind, and he will find it soon." Bai Fu circled around the emperor, and was quite uneasy because he couldn't get involved.

Although Emperor Shengyuan loved to read, he did not develop good habits due to his background in the army. After reading one book on weekdays, he threw away the other, and he tossed all the books in a few days. Ouchi manager, the royal library was built in a good manner, and the cultural relics were not wasted.

"I want to find a few legal classics. If there are orphans, absolutes, or famous manuscripts, just pick them out."

"Here, the servant will look for it." Bai Fu searched through the piles of book boxes, but in a short time he picked out a dozen books, wrapped them in silk and placed them on the imperial case. Don't look at these books, which are old and yellow, and some of them are rattan bamboo slips, which are extremely ancient. If you really want to talk about their value, they are more precious than the pearls of the East China Sea and the BMWs of the Western Regions.

Emperor Sheng Yuan checked it carefully and made sure that there were not too many flaws and damages. Then he nodded with satisfaction, "Go get a better red sandalwood box and pack it up and send it to Zhenbei Houfu..."

Send it to Zhenbeihou Mansion? Could it be that the emperor and Zhao Houye have reconciled? Bai Fuzheng speculated secretly, and then heard the emperor change his mind, "Wait, send it to Zhenxi Hou's mansion."

How could a little guard have such a precious book, sending it directly to the lady would inevitably arouse her doubts. After all, he had to borrow Qin Lingyun's name. Thinking of this, Emperor Shengyuan wrote a handwritten letter, explaining that the Duke of Zhenxi handed over the books, not to reveal his identity, and then wrapped it in a letter and dripped it with varnish. Just at this moment, the news that Ye Jieyu asked to meet came from outside the hall. His happy face instantly turned cold, and he waved his hand, "Announce her to come in."

With a food box in her hand, Ye Zhen walked in gracefully and said with her knees bent, "A few days ago, my concubine went to Nanyuan bamboo sea to dig a lot of spring shoots, and mixed it with freshly grown hens and seasoned shiitake mushrooms. I simmered it in a clay pot, and it took a long time to get a cup of thick soup, which I sent to His Majesty to taste." As he spoke, he walked to the imperial desk, removed the food box, opened the lid, and took out the hot soup bowl.

The rich aroma instantly filled the hall, causing Bai Fu and the others to salivate. Ye Zhen was proud and continued, "I think back then when His Majesty was recovering from his wounds in Jiangzhou, he had no appetite because of the residual poison and bone pain. My favorite is this bowl of spring bamboo shoots and chicken soup. The little hens in the house are all ruined."

She seemed to find the past interesting, she covered her mouth and chuckled, Gu Pan was bright and radiant.

Bai Fu and the others sighed that Ye Jieyu was the only one in the palace who had a vulgar appearance and shared hardships with His Majesty. Dangerous scrutiny. Could it be that the sin of peeping at the Emperor's trail a few days ago has not been forgotten

Ye Jieyu didn't know that her behavior of bribing the imperial servants had been exposed, but she still saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, so she put down the soup bowl and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? But you're busy with government affairs? Hurry up and drink some soup tonic. Make up, and then rest as early as possible. As the saying goes, keep the green hills so that you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood. If you are exhausted, what will happen to the country’s society, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of the world? What about the concubines and concubines? If it weren't for you to protect me, my concubine would have died long ago." Tears filled her eyes, she looked weak and pitiful.

If it were changed to usual, Emperor Sheng Yuan would have comforted him in a good voice for a long time, but now he is a little disgusted for no reason. He already knew that Ye Zhen, who seemed to be weak, was actually extremely tough in his bones. He had to have means and scheming, and even the queen mother and the concubines were not her opponents, and she was still the gentle and pure Xiaojiabiyu back then.

If she didn't protect her, she would have died long ago? This is a joke. Thinking of this, Emperor Shengyuan really laughed and said slowly, "I heard that the Ye family wants to send your cousin to Zhenbei Hou's mansion as a concubine. Today, you put on makeup for her with great fanfare and gave her a lot of valuables?"

Ye Zhen's tears condensed, and hesitantly said, "Yes, Ye Fan likes two children the most, it can be said that he watched them grow up since he was a child, and in the future, he will be able to do his best for the concubine when he enters the mansion. The concubine is grateful to her for taking care of her. Your kindness, this is a great reward. Your Majesty specifically mentioned this matter, is there anything wrong with it?"

"The marriage of the Marquis of Zhenbei was given by me, and the appointment of Mrs. Zhenbeihou was sealed by me." Emperor Shengyuan slowly stirred the spoon and said, "My front foot facilitated a good relationship, and the back foot of the Ye family forced Zhenbei Hou to take a concubine. , you have made a big splash for a concubine, slapped Mrs. Beihou of Zhen, slapped the emperor's residence, and slapped my face. Do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"

His tone was not harsh, even a little careless, but Ye Zhen sensed the sharpness of the sword. Looking at Da Wei, who dares to be dissatisfied with the holy will, is it not that Shou Xing Gong hanged himself - impatiently living? However, after thinking about it carefully, what she did before was obviously to make a face for Ye Fan, why didn't she mean to humiliate the Guan family in secret

However, she forgot the most important point. The Guan family was held up by His Majesty. Their faces were those of Confucianism, Guoxue, and even more of His Majesty. They were on the same boat as His Majesty. , but with a little bit of relatives.

Just thinking about this, Ye Zhen heard the emperor say again, "In the previous dynasty, there were internal turmoils and disasters against foreign relatives, and the damage was like a military disaster. I know that I will repay you for your life without worry, and you should also abide by your duties. , An Changlun. Look at what you have done now When it comes to old feelings, I have to wake up one or two times, but it is only this time, and there will be no next time. You can do it yourself. "

Hearing this, Ye Zhen was already sweating like puddles, her clothes were soaking wet, she knelt down with a thud, and pleaded, "My concubine is confused for a while, I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness! My concubine can't forget the two children, the Marquis, and more. I can't forget the joy of being a family in the past. When I saw him marrying another woman, I was blinded by jealousy and did such absurd things. The concubines never dared to have any dissatisfaction with His Majesty, let alone condone the family's misfortune. , the concubine knows I'm wrong, I beg your majesty to forgive me for the sake of the concubine, who is also a pitiful person, woo woo..." The words fell silent, and wept bitterly.

Ye Zhen really can't forget Zhao Luli, can't forget the two children? Sure enough, it was because of jealousy that he made a big face for Ye Fan? Emperor Shengyuan's heart is not necessarily, but he is too lazy to delve into it, because these things have nothing to do with him. But if Ye Zhen harmed the woman he admired very much, and even took him as a confidant, and damaged his friendship with the emperor and Taichang, he would never be forgiven. Ye Zhen was nominally his woman, and what Ye Zhen did would naturally be counted on his head.

"It's not appropriate to cry and cry in front of the royal family. Go on, stay in Ganquan Palace and reflect on it for the past few days. It's not an example." His patience with Ye Zhen seemed to be running out.

Ye Zhen didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly got up to say goodbye, and returned to Ganquan Palace before she was paralyzed on the bed, and she was terrified. In recent years, she has been living smoothly, and she has become a little complacent, and she really regards herself as being favored as rumored by the outside world. However, only she knows the truth. How can those honorable favors, which are supported by kindness and shattered, compete with the real rights of the Guan family? Forcing the Houfu to take a concubine and making a face for Ye Fan, these two moves were a big mistake!

"Niangniang, should we take back the things we gave to the Ye family?" Yong He asked in a low voice. She was in the main hall just now, and she was scared to death. Only then did she know that her maiden didn't seem to be so embarrassed in front of the emperor, at least it was far worse than the Guan family.

"Want to come back? Then this palace is really a joke. If the order goes on, Ganquan Palace will be closed from now on, refusing to visit. Your Majesty will handle the aftermath, no need for others to intervene. Ben Gong is tired and wants to be alone for a while, you all go down."

Everyone filed out, Ye Zhenmu sat for a long time before closing his eyes, fully expressing the fear and embarrassment in his heart. No matter how the emperor took care of the aftermath, he had to step on the Ye family to support the Guan family. This time he failed to make a face, but he was beaten in the face, and he really lost tragically. The next action can't be so hasty. However, her minions have been cut off by the queen mother. Even if she wants to send a message to the Ye family at this moment, to tell them to stay safe and not ostentatious, it is still powerless, and I only hope that everyone will wake up.
