Chapter 24: Gu Jing

The current Hubu Shangshu of the Guo Dynasty was promoted by the old man of the Hubu, with the surname Zhou and the name knot.

He was a jinshi when he was filial piety, and he has been an official for many years.

The whole career is a very typical second-class Jinshi route: after winning the list, after a series of assessments, he was first released to the county as an official, and then he was promoted step by step by relying on his political achievements......

In the end, relying on ability and opportunity, he sat on the top spot of the household department.

This person's background is actually similar to Yun Fenghuang, not a high-ranking family, but also a gentleman's son who is entrenched in the place.

Xu is because there is no strong backer behind him, this week is very cautious, and he has been an official for many years, and his reputation has never been bad.

It's not as clean as water, but it also has two brushes.

"That's a problem." Yun Fenghuang listened to Chen Jing's advice and said slowly, "Since you are cautious, if you don't choose, what will you do to offend this palace?" ”

Although she has rarely done anything in the past two years because of her noble and stable status, she is not a newcomer who has just embarked on her career this week, will she remember Concubine Min's handwriting back then?

Even if Zhou Jie is not optimistic about her, it is said that she should not be directly impeached in front of the emperor?

Isn't this a deliberate attempt not to give face to the concubine?

"Niangniang, the slave maid has not yet found out who Zhou Jie has anything to do with." Chen Jing said cautiously, "Now that someone is staring, if he really has other plans, he will definitely reveal traces sooner or later!" ”

Yun Fenghuang snorted, "When does that have to wait?" ”

After saying this, he thought about it for a while, and asked, "At the end of this week, the grandchildren should also be married?" What about his heirs? ”

"Zhou Jie's heirs are not prosperous, but they have one son and three daughters. The three daughters are all out of the cabinet, because they are the husband's family that Zhou Jie is looking for when he has not yet entered the court, and the marriage can only be regarded as ordinary, and it is not good or bad. Chen Jing said, "There are three grandchildren, one and two concubines, and two granddaughters. The younger one is only three or five years old now, and the eldest one is the same age as Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoqing. ”

"When we arrived at the palace and had a banquet, someone sent a post to Zhang Cheng." Yun Fenghuang smiled coldly and said, "Don't use the name of this palace, take advantage of these few days to let the three princesses and the like get close to that girl, and when the time comes, there will be a reason." ”

Chen Jing said: "Niangniang, if you start with her grandchildren, Zhou Jie's grandson Zhou Xu has had a few contacts with our Seven Princes. ”

"Little Seven?" Yun Fenghuang groaned, "What's going on? ”

"Our Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has only learned people, and there have been two times, His Royal Highness the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the Third Prince had a quarrel, and they were about to divide the restaurant outside, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was invited by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to help sit in town." Chen Jing said, "Zhou Xu is also among them, but it was not invited by His Royal Highness King Qin or His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but purely followed a few children from similar backgrounds to watch the excitement." His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is gentle and elegant, and his talent is outstanding, and the slave and maid happened to hear that among the high-ranking disciples of the imperial capital, there are many people who have a good impression of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, Zhou Xu and his companions

That's what we do. ”

Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, if this was the case with King Qin or the Nine Emperor Princes, she would have to be on guard.

But the Seven Princes......

The kid who grew up in his hand has no ambitions, at least for now, and the main thing is that his family doesn't want him to take risks.

But I hope that he will marry a suitable concubine, and leave the imperial capital to become a vassal in Ming'er, and never wade into any troubled waters in the future.

In this case, the status of this child who is respected among the children of the high family is very noteworthy.

"Inquire about it, these people admire Xiao Qi, do they do it spontaneously, or are they being picked up by someone in private?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "No matter which one it is, the days on the queen's side have been too quiet recently. ”

Chen Jing hurriedly pleaded guilty: "It's the slave who is ineffective." ”

"Although I'm about to pack up my things and go to the palace, but every year, I think Yanfu Palace can handle it completely." Yun Fenghuan explained lightly, "The queen mother has become more and more silent in recent years, which is not good. It's better to find something for her to do, so as not to have no news all day long, as if the palace controls the harem and does not allow her to make a sound! ”

When she said this, of course the people below didn't dare to slack off, so within two days, she caught a handle in the middle palace, that is, Gu Jing actually laughed and teased King Chu in private.

This Gu Jing is one of the queen's nieces, but after the emperor took the tenth prince and the twelfth prince to the Taichu Palace to teach him personally, Gu Zhen asked for the two maiden nieces to be brought into the palace to be raised and chatted for comfort.

Because the concubine Yun Fenghuang raised her niece in front of her early in the morning, Chunjia had just calmed down a series of turmoil caused by the death of Marquis Longping, and in the face of this matter, although he knew that Gu Zhen was an excuse, in fact, he just wanted to cultivate future candidates for the tenth prince and the twelfth prince, but he also agreed.

The two girls carefully selected by the Gu family at that time were Gu Jing and Gu Jue's cousins.

According to the situation learned from Xuanqing Palace, Gu Jing is lively and cheerful, has a good appearance, has a lot of experience in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a sweet mouth and flattery, and has always been more liked by Gu Zhen than his cousin Gu Jue.

Because the sisters are about the same age as the Ten Princes, the queen intends to let Gu Jing be a side concubine for the Ten Princes in the future, and often guides her to interact with the Ten Princes.

Almost every time the Ten Princes went to Yanfu Palace to greet the queen, Gu Zhen would arrange for Gu Jing to be by his side.

This approach also has some effect, the ten princes gradually became familiar with Gu Jing, and even when they left the palace a few times and brought some gadgets to Gu Zhen, they did not forget to bring something to Gu Jing and Gu Jue.

Although this move seems to be just polite, according to the people below, what the ten princes gave to Gu Jue was just to send the palace people to buy things from the vendors at will, but what was given to Gu Jing was carefully selected in the shop in person, and the attitude can be seen.

At the same time, whenever Gu Zhen saw Chunjia, intentionally or unintentionally, he would also tell Gu Jing's various advantages, hoping that Chunjia would agree to this girl serving the Ten Princes in the future.

These cloud wind fence masters and servants are all in their eyes, at this moment

The sudden attack was aimed at Gu Zhen's cultivation of Gu Jing over the years, not only the queen herself, but also the Gu family, who also had high hopes for Gu Jing.

"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't want to worry about this matter, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was raised by the queen's mother when he landed, as far as the queen mother herself said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is no different from the queen's own son." After Yun Fenghuang got the handle, he first let people publicize it all over the palace, and then went out in person, and said to the emperor, "Can this niece and daughter kiss her son no matter how close she is?" Now Gu Jing dared to tease and ridicule the King of Chu in private, and even forced His Royal Highness the King of Chu to eat the meal that was knocked over on the ground! Where is this royal blood?! The concubine didn't believe it, the dignified Gu family's concubine didn't have such a sense of proportion. Who the hell gave her the guts?! Or, does the queen keep saying that His Royal Highness King Chu is her own son, and this is how she treats her own son? ”

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince and the Twelve Princes asked His Majesty to raise them personally in the morning, otherwise, I don't know how I will be treated by the Queen Mother!"

Chun Jia's face was ugly, he actually knew in his heart that Gu Jing teased the King of Chu, and the eight achievements were poked out by the concubine.

However, the concubine knew his temper, and since he was using the imperial heir as a man, most of the time Gu Jing did do something sorry for the King of Chu.

"Xuanzhong Palace." The emperor commanded in a cold voice, "And the Gu family girl will be brought along!" ”

The queen's aunt and nephew have actually received the news, but they are not people who are in a hurry, plus the concubine came prepared, the evidence is conclusive, and the emperor is not good at stubble, under some cross-examination, Gu Jing was speechless, and had to confess that he had indeed teased the king of Chu: "But the courtiers did not force His Royal Highness the king of Chu to eat the meal that was knocked over on the ground, and the meal was ...... What meals...... That meal is actually just a ......" She choked and glanced at the queen before choking and continuing, "That meal is actually not intentionally overturned, the courtiers want people to clean it up, but before it can be done, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will ...... And he went up and ate it himself...... The courtiers later ...... Later, I also specially asked people to invite a doctor......"

"Bastard!" Gu Zhen's eyes sank suddenly when she heard this, and before she could finish speaking, her backhand was a slap in the face, which made Gu Jing stop his mouth, and shouted, "This palace said that you were good that time, why do you want to ask for a doctor!?" Co-authoring is bullying my son! ”

Yun Fenghuang, who was standing beside Chunjia, hooked his lips and said, "Why should the queen be like this? Your Majesty knows everything, you want to get through the trick with this hand, but you can't! ”

Saying that, he turned to Gu Jing, "You are a courtier, even if you are deeply favored by the queen's mother, to put it bluntly, you are just a guest in the palace." It's not a serious master! But where did he get the qualifications to cross the queen mother and ask for a doctor for His Royal Highness the King of Chu? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is ......" The queen still has to say something, but Chunjia has run out of patience, as the concubine said, he is not stupid, when he says this, where is he not counting?

Gu Jing teased the King of Chu, obviously the queen knew.

Most of the imperial doctors were also summoned by the queen to the king of Chu.

It can be seen that the queen is not completely unconcerned about the king of Chu. It's just that this son had something happen early after all, and over the years, with the appearance of the tenth prince and the twelfth prince, the queen's care and attention have shifted, and at first it may have been out of guilt and pity, and she still remembered the king of Chu. But as the ten princes and the twelve princes became more and more important, the queen was a little careless.

Even, even if it was Gu Jing's identity, after making a fool of the King of Chu, the queen didn't do anything to Gu Jing, but summoned the imperial doctor to the King of Chu to confirm that the child was fine.

The queen's move is actually human nature, after all, although Gu Jing was not raised by her, she is a talented and beautiful girl, and she has been raised in the palace for two years, and she has a good relationship with the ten princes, how can it be lost because of a king of Chu who is now worthless and just raised like a waste?

"I remember that you were grief-stricken because of the accident with the King of Chu, and for many years, you talked about it." Chunjia looked at the queen, her eyes full of disappointment, "Every time I think of you, I have a motherly heart, and I don't care about you." It's only been a few years since you last mentioned the grievances of King Chu and your grievances? Your niece who picked up from outside the palace halfway, a mere courtier, can tease my bloodline like a pig and a dog?! ”

"And you, the middle palace, know it clearly, but you don't mention it, and you cover it up?!"

"That's how you are the mother of so many imperial heirs?!"

"The King of Chu was raised by you just after he landed, and he was still despised by you like this, so what do you think of the many other heirs!?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jing had already knelt down with a "plop", trembling like chaff.

Yun Fenghuan looked at her playfully, and knew very well in his heart that the emperor was going to the queen, but he just scolded a few words, and he wouldn't do anything about the queen.

But this Gu Jing, the future is definitely over.

After all, Chunjia usually doesn't care about his own heirs, as the Son of Heaven, how can he tolerate his own bloodline, even if it is a stupid heir who has long been abandoned, and is humiliated by the daughter of a foreign minister?

He didn't give Gu Jing death, it can be regarded as tolerant and generous!
