Like Pearl and Jade - Chapter 85

Gu Rujiu was right. After she became pregnant, some of the court ladies’ minds were about to move. Secretly sent Qiubo, pretending to be pitiful, and deliberately showing something different.

In the face of great benefits, anyone can show great potential. Gu Rujiu has never dared to underestimate any person, noble like a grand princess, or lowly like a rootless eunuch. As long as these people have their own positions and what they want, then any of their actions and behaviors Not to be underestimated.

“Ma’am, do you want to see that maid?” Qiu Luo saw Gu Rujiu’s face not very good-looking, thinking she was angry and busy, “If you want to see her, the slave-maid will let her bring her over.”

“No,” Gu Rujiu touched his slightly raised belly. “He Ming is doing this very well.” The most important thing now is not whether these maidens have ambitions, but what is important is whether Jin Yang’s attitude is clear.

Jin Yang did not disappoint Gu Rujiu. He usually accompanied Gu Rujiu in the Zichen Hall in addition to handling government affairs on weekdays. Because Gu Rujiu was pregnant with a first-born, Jin Marting was extremely cautious, only to leave Gu Rujiu in his pocket and carry it all day.

There was a maiden who deliberately approached him. He was actually more nervous than Gu Rujiu. Why did you ask him?

What if I get angry for a long time? Zhao Yuyi has said long ago that a woman ’s first birth is very important. If something goes wrong, the woman ’s body will be particularly hurt.

He didn’t care about other things, but he was very careful for a long time. Because of his own poor health, he knew how uncomfortable he felt to be sick, and he did not even want to let him experience the sins he suffered every day.

“Your Majesty, the prince thought it was inappropriate for this! The noble deserves the same crime as the people who break the law.”

“Your Majesty, that being said, but …”

When Jin Yang returned to his mind, he saw the following two groups of people quarreling with each other. The reason was that the son of Zhou’s family was bullying and injuring the two readers.

The Zhou family is the mother-in-law of the Empress Dowager. Although they have been utterly incompetent in these years, they have been confused, and have never caused any serious incidents. Anyhow, I know that this time they were so confused and beat the scholar.

The most powerful thing about a literati is a mouth. If you beat the scholar, you are hitting the literati. No wonder the civil servants in the hall jumped and filled with indignation. If you don’t know it, I thought the son of the Zhou family beat them.

After having been an emperor for several years, how could Jin Yang not know the personalities of civil servants, so let them quarrel and argue, and finally declare that Zhou’s son will defend himself.

Although the son of Zhou’s family was incompetent, he had a good skin, and the empress was his aunt, so he was not nervous when he came to Chaotang. After paying courteously and respectfully, Zhao Jinyang said the cause and effect of the matter Came out.

“Originally, Weichen just couldn’t bear to talk about their mouthfuls, and they were going to eat in another place. How could they know that they were talking about the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and Wei Chen was so angry that he started working with them.” Zhou Gongzi also Very bachelor, he is the son of Hou Fu. He grew up spoiled from childhood, and no matter how many people would be offended by this remark, he said so bluntly.

Hearing that the Queen Mother and Queen were involved, Jin Yang frowned and glanced at the quail-like civilians with their heads down, and said in a deep voice, “What did they say?”

“They said, said …” Zhou Gongzi’s eyes turned, and he looked up and saw Jin Yang’s face was not very good-looking, and suddenly shrunk his neck, “They said that the queen mother favored the queen and stopped your majesty your queen. The queen was The Lord of the Harem, but dominates His Majesty because of envy … ”

Seeing the emperor’s face getting darker and deeper, Zhou Gongzi’s voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end he dared not speak again.

“I have a deep affection for the Queen, and the Queen is also caring about me, and I have already stated that I don’t want to be a concubine,” Jin Yang said, “The two scholars did not work hard to study knowledge, but they learned a long tongue. When people talk about my harem family affairs, is this the way of a scholar? ”

The officials at the scene were so stunned, did the two scholars say such things? No one in the whole world knows that the emperor was forced to pour the concubine because of the previous thing, and there was a big fire in the upside. From then on, no one dared to start this matter under the majesty.

This matter is to say that the queen is wrong, and some are unreasonable. The emperor is not willing to do it himself. What is the matter with the queen? You said that you two scholars, worry about this, and they were heard by the mother-in-law’s family. You really deserve to be beaten.

“Your Majesty, this is only one of Zhou Shizi’s words. Wei Chen thought that he would also call these two readers to be able to tell the difference between true and false when confronted.” A civil servant stepped forward, only to say that Zhou Gongzi lied.

Zhou Gongzi snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction with a vivid expression.

The civil servant heard Zhou Gongzi’s hum, but moved a small step aside to show that he disdain to be with Zhou Gongzi, with no expression on his face.

Other officials gave him a sympathetic glance, knowing that you have guts, but do n’t be too obvious. The Zhou family does not fight anymore, that is also the mother-in-law’s maiden family, your majesty’s nominal grandfather’s family, you despise the Zhou family in front of your majesty, do you despise who?

According to the rules, people without merits cannot come to the court, but this case has already reached Yuqian, and it involves the two most honorable women in the Dafeng Dynasty, the queen mother and the queen, so this kind of thing should not be followed. At that time, you can only open your eyes and close your eyes.

Liang Yu did not expect that he would come to the Jin Luan Hall without merit. He was both nervous and frightened. When he stepped on the Jade Step outside the Jin Luan Hall, he dared not raise his head or look around. The companions around him were almost the same as him. The two cowered behind the Imperial Guard, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

The floor tiles on the Jin Luan Hall were illuminating, and the moment Liang Yu stepped in, he felt dizzy and dizzy. Without taking a few steps, he made a big gift upward.

The temple was quiet, and many people thought that they could see a scholar who was enchanted by the moon, who knew that the two indifferent, shameless students who did not have the gentleman’s beauty, the civil servants who originally helped the two speak Can’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 Zuojiu finally, and then saw his face almost strained on the ground drill.

Although Jin Yang can’t talk about it, it’s hard to forget, but he has a little impression of the people standing below. A few months ago, when he took a long time out of the palace to play, he met a boastful reader in Haoyu Building, wasn’t this person?

When this man talked about Gu’s family at the time, he wasn’t welcome at all. If he wasn’t outside at the time, he didn’t want to disappoint for a long time. This person was already handled by him.

Jin Yang looked at the two scholars without calling, the officials present knew that the emperor was not in a good mood, and no one stepped forward to touch the mold without long eyes, and so did Liang Yu and his companion’s waist. Bent.

“I have seen you.”

When this word came out, it was undoubtedly that a thunder was thrown in the hearts of the people. They looked at the two students one after another. They did not know what the characteristics of these two students were, which actually made His Majesty impress.

The appearance is average, the demeanor is not much, the temperament can not be talked about, and the fear of shrinking is very characteristic. Is it because these two people are so special that they remember them?

Not only was the courtier surprised, but Liang Yu was also very shocked. He raised his head in confusion, and after seeing the person sitting on the throne, his feet were soft and he sat on the ground half kneeled.

How could it be him? !

What happened to Li Yu a few months ago was very impressive for Liang Yu. After that time, some students who had been with him started to alienate him, even his two friends And often find various reasons not to meet him.

Although he secretly hated these classmates to see the wind and the rudder, fearing power, but deep in his heart, he was afraid that the few nobles he had encountered in Haoyu Tower would settle their accounts after the autumn.

After a few months of uneasy waiting, there was no movement, and Liang Yu was relieved in his heart before resuming his former life. Look at the book every day, learn the Chinese characters, and talk to a few newly made friends outside when you are okay.

Two days ago, when he was talking up, a young boy suddenly emerged from the side. Without a word, he took a family member to beat him. He beat him without a piece of good meat, but his face was slightly scratched. No.

The scholar was beaten by the dudes in the capital. For the scholar, it was a humiliation, so it happened once and for all. In fact, he didn’t want to pursue the matter in his heart, because he knew that if he said these words to the ear of the emperor, he had no chance to enter the officialdom in his life.

The facts tell him the truth, there is no worst in the world, only worse. He never imagined that His Majesty was actually the nobleman he had met in Haoyulou that day.

Since this is His Majesty, the young woman who asked him that day was just afraid …

Thinking of the words he said that day, Liang Yu became more and more afraid, and the whole body shivered involuntarily, and wanted to say something for mercy, but he was so scared that he couldn’t even open his mouth.

The civil servants saw him with such a disdainful look on their face, so timid as a rat, and dared to talk nonsense about the Queen Mother and the Queen. It was really brainless.

For Liang Yu’s reaction, everyone didn’t even have to try it, and they all knew who was right. Today’s thing, Zhou Shizi is really not wrong. As the nephew of the queen mother, the queen’s cousin, is it not to maintain their reputation?

Although this method is a little rough, and it is not right to hit people, at least people’s ideas are good. Of course, it is even better to report to the official instead of doing it yourself.

“A few months ago, you were dissatisfied with the aristocracy in the family, and you were very picky about my Yue family. When I first saw you in Beijing, I probably didn’t understand many things, so I didn’t pursue it,” Jin said. Martingale said in a deep voice, “However, in the past few months, 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 family stood, what? This kid even slandered their family, it is unbearable, let’s put the sleeves on!

So the civil servants who had helped Liang Yu to speak have turned around and picked Liang Yu from head to toe. The main point is that there is no such black sheep in our team of literati. They are ashamed to be with this person.

In the end, the talkative Liang Sheng was stripped of his merits, and because of his lack of morality, all descendants of the three generations could not enter the dynasty as officials.

Seeing Liang Yu’s disgraceful face, the family officials lowered their sleeves with satisfaction and restored Sven’s appearance again.

Since you look down on the family, then these children of the family can only let you see how powerful the family is.

Even the official who came from the cold door did not come out to speak for Liang Yu after his majesty spoke. In their view, although they are solitary officials, they do not need such pig teammates to join.

This farce was named after Liang Yu and his companions, and the descendants of the three generations could not enter the dynasty as officials. Zhou Shizi closed his door at home for three months. This incident spread to the outside. Many scholars have expressed critical attitudes towards Liang Yu’s behavior. Others think that this person will slander the empress and the queen so badly that she must have a bad heart and may collude with foreigners.

Others think that Zhou Shizi is sentimental and righteous. Although he is a bit younger, he also knows the people who maintain his own family, so he hasn’t rotted into the root yet.

No one sympathizes with Liang Yu, let alone pleading for him. Everyone seems to have forgotten a few days ago, they are still indignant at the bullies who are bullying the young boys.

Who would speak for a scholar who was rejected by His Majesty?

In the Kangquan Palace, Empress Zhou looked at her mother-in-law’s sister-in-law, her attitude was not too salty, but she frowned when she saw her twists and turns, and finally dragged the topic to her niece.

“Tingting’s girl, you grew up watching. You know what kind of temper she is. If you go to the palace to serve your majesty, you will be able to serve your majesty properly …”

“I have said this before, and I will mention it again,” said Empress Zhou with a sullen face. “Not to mention that the Queen is now pregnant, I can’t let another woman enter the palace to stimulate her. No child, I will not promise you this thing. ”

Mrs. Zhou was a little unhappy. What did the queen mother mean? She would rather protect the girl from someone else’s house than to let the girl from her own family into the palace. This is ridiculous.

“The Queen Mother, the wife and the wife are willing to let her daughter into the palace, but now our family is not high or low, Tingting is not happy to find a wishful Langjun. If you come into the palace, it is a way out.”

“Do you think that to enter the palace is to enjoy the glory and wealth?” Empress Zhou laughed angrily. “How much hardship did the Ai family enter the palace that year, and how many sins did they suffer, or where did the marquis in your family come from ?!”

“Xiandi is indeed …” Mrs. Zhou still did not give up, and she tried not to face her last face. “But today is different from Xiandi. If Tingting married in the palace, he would not suffer the sins of the past.”

“A good family lady doesn’t do it, you have to go into the palace to be a concubine,” Tai Chi was completely chilled out. “My family doesn’t agree on this matter. If you have an idea, go to the prince and stop prescribing this in the palace. ”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou knew that the Queen Mother had decided not to let her daughter enter the palace, so she had to wipe her eyes with a handkerchief and said: “Wifes are not willing to use this kind of thing to upset you, but what is the wife The solution? ”

The husband is useless, the son is dumbfounded, the entire Hou Fu sits and eats the empty sky, others look down on Hou Fu, and she does not want to let her daughter marry a person born in Hanmen, who knows the difficulties?

“The Queen Mother and Queen Mother are here.” Aunt Liu came in.

“Please soon.” The empress’s face suddenly showed a smile, which looked like Mrs. Zhou’s eyes. How much face does this big sister-in-law have in front of her? How much does Tingting’s niece have in the heart of the Empress Dowager?

The queen was particularly pleased by the queen mother. When she was not married in the palace, she was often summoned by the queen mother. Now the queen mother treats her like a pro-girlfriend.

The more she thought about Mrs. Zhou, the more unbalanced her heart was. In the heart of the Empress Dowager, who was her dear niece?

Gu Rujiu rarely sees the Zhou family in Kangquan Palace. First, the queen mother does not often summon them, and second, the time may just be staggered.

After entering the inner hall, before the ceremony, Gu Rujiu was supported by Aunt Liu, and the queen mother said, “Which of you should pay attention to these customary rites before you sit down.”

“The mother is so compassionate, the daughter-in-law would be better than obedient,” she said, and then she took out a big slap box. “I heard that the mother has not slept well recently, and she doesn’t like to use incense. There is some calming tea here. Try it. ”

The queen mother did not treat her politely, and asked Aunt Liu to hand it over to her, opened the lid and smelled it, then smiled: “It is indeed a good thing.”

These things must have been sent by Gu’s family into the palace, so the queen mother didn’t ask about her origins. She just praised them. It was like the mother received something from her daughter.

Mrs. Zhou sat quietly, watching the interaction between the queen and the queen. After waiting for a long time, she finally found an opportunity to intervene. “The queen is really filial.”

Gu Rujiu’s impression of this Mrs. Zhou was not very good, so she just smiled politely and didn’t talk much to her.

Anyone knows that Mrs. Zhou hasn’t given up, and still talks to Gu Rujiu with stitches. This attentive attitude is really suspicious.

It wasn’t Gu Rujiu’s careful attention, but how Mrs. Zhou thought it was not like someone who was happy to praise others, so she listened quietly and waited for Mrs. Zhou to say what she really meant.

“My mother-in-law is now pregnant with dragons. I am afraid that there will be no more people waiting around the emperor. How can you rest assured?” Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Rujiu with a smile.

The Empress’s face suddenly sank, and he said directly: “There are so many eunuchs and servants around the emperor, don’t they serve well?”

“That being said, but the palace attendant is a court attendant after all, how can she compare with the intimate person,” Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, “Our girl and your mother are of similar age and gentle personality …”

“Mrs. Zhou!” The Queen Mother sternly said, “You are speechless.” She knew that this sister-in-law was stupid and impulsive, and she did not know who her surname was when she saw the interest. But she did not expect that her sister-in-law would be so stupid.

Recommend your daughter before the emperor, how stupid is it?

If the queen is not favored, is not pregnant, and has a close relationship with the Zhou family, this possibility may be considered. But since her mother’s death, Gu’s family hasn’t had much contact with Zhou’s family. How about talking with Zhou’s family? There is also the empress’s emotional harmony, and the emperor is obsessed with the queen. In this case, the queen will only agree to this request unless there is something wrong with her brain.

Gu Rujiu saw that the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Zhou had very different reactions and knew that the Empress Dowager disagreed, but it was only Mrs. Zhou’s delusion.

She put down the tea cup and smiled slightly at Mrs. Zhou: “Ms. Hou may not be able to agree to this request from Mrs. Hou.”

Mrs. Zhou was yelled by her queen and was too scared to speak, but she still stared at Gu Rujiu unwillingly.

Noting her eyes, Gu Rujiu still smiled: “In addition to organizing government affairs every day, the emperor has to take care of the palace and the baby in the palace’s stomach. I’m afraid I can’t care about other women anymore.”

Mrs. Zhou was stunned by Gu Rujiu’s shocking words. What did the emperor want to take care of her? !

That is the Emperor, the Lord of all peoples, how can …

Even if she is stupid, she knows that something is wrong, the queen dare to say this, it can be seen that she is not afraid of the emperor knowing. But to what extent should the relationship between the two be good enough for the queen to have such confidence?

The queen mother looked at her sister-in-law’s panicked face, sighed, and lowered her head without speaking.

Today, she should not intervene too much in this matter, otherwise it will be transmitted to His Majesty’s ears, and she and Her Majesty are afraid that there will be a gap between them.

“I have been right for a long time. I dealt with the state affairs and took care of my wife and children. I really had no time to pay attention to other women. I also asked my aunt not to mention this matter again.” Jin Yang stepped into the hall and walked directly to Gu Rujiu, holding Gu Rujiu. Said, “I don’t want to accept concubines. If my aunt mentions it again, it will be unpleasant for a long time. I’m afraid that my heart will be uncomfortable.”

Mrs. Zhou turned pale and turned her head to see the queen do not say a word, so she stood up shaking tremblingly, and blessed Zhao Jinyang: “Father and wife never dare.”

There was no obvious way to say this. If she made the queen unhappy, then your majesty would be angry.

What is the queen’s ability to bluff and obey the master of a country?

Mrs. Zhou didn’t understand it. In her view, Gu Rujiu was not the most beautiful, most temperamental, nor the highest and most talented in the capital. She really didn’t understand, why did the emperor die so hard for her?

But if she couldn’t understand it in her heart, she dared not think about it any more, and she dared not talk about sending her daughter into the palace. Her instincts told her that if she made the queen unhappy again, the emperor would probably not miss the face of the queen mother, so that the Zhou family would not have a good life.

“Mother, I want to come to you and your aunt to say something, your son will not bother.” Jin Yang’s well-behaved Empress Dowager saluted, and then took Gu Rujiu out of the 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: “I knew you were so confused today, and I shouldn’t have seen you.”

“Mrs ….” Mrs. Zhou panicked completely.

“Go back,” the queen mother waved her hand tiredly. “Recently stayed in the house recently. Don’t come out to cause trouble again, otherwise the family will not protect you.”

No one knows better than her how important it is to the emperor for a long time.

Dragons have counterscales. For a long time, the emperor was a counterscale that no one could touch.
