Chapter 133
"How is the fifth prince?" Emperor Shuntai ignored An Xu, but asked sideways.

Concubine Cheng immediately stepped forward and replied, "I just called the imperial doctor to take a look, and then I went running to play again."

Emperor Shuntai's gaze passed over Chengfei, and fell on a girl with a slightly lowered fair neck over there.

"Ah, as long as it's okay," Emperor Shuntai came back to his senses after being reminded by Eunuch Liang, waved his hands and said, "Since Xiao Wu is fine, don't let Anshi kneel down."

Zong Che used all his strength to keep his feet on the ground.

After a while, An Xu walked over with the support of two little maids.

Zong Che stepped forward, clenched his fists in his sleeves tightly, and asked softly, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay," An Xu said.

"Hurry up and get a stool." Someone said so abruptly.

An Xu raised his head, and met the face of King Jin.

She nodded to him.

Emperor Shuntai also looked away from the beauty, and said to King Jin, "Wen Yan, you should be more honest."

He heard from King Jin that when he was living in Jipu County, he was given a few buns by a girl. Later, when Sister Zong Cheyi came to Beijing, Prince Jin's mansion went to send greetings.

He asked and found out that the girl was Zong Che's righteous sister.

But he had reported his kindness earlier, and he was still so active at this time, Emperor Shuntai was worried that he was repeating his old habit of robbing people's wives.

Zhang Yan made it clear that the chariots and horses were determined not to marry, but he couldn't be allowed to mess around like this.

King Jin was also brought here today, and Emperor Shuntai just wanted to point out a marriage to him and completely suppress him.

In the second half of the banquet, An Xu was basically a transparent person. Zong Che was elsewhere. When the banquet was over, he came over and said to An Xu, "You have my arm."

An Xu nodded, and the two of them went to the emperor and queen to ask for instructions to leave.

At this time, An Xu realized that the girl whom the emperor asked a few words after coming over was standing beside the empress.

After understanding the meaning of this, An Xu felt that the Ming ruler was disgusting.

Emperor Shuntai looked at the backs of the two young men walking away, shook his head, and thought that An's looks were rather ordinary, which man doesn't love beauty?

It's no wonder Zong Aiqing is colder towards her.

So, can such a woman who is married because of more elements of gratitude, be able to stay?

Thinking of Zong Che's delighted look when he mentioned the word "sweetheart" that day, Emperor Shuntai said in his heart, "It really is so".

Zong Che didn't fully believe him from the beginning. This courtier really knows how to act.

Then he had to find another person to go to the northern border with him, and someone had to hold him back.

After coming out of the palace gate, as soon as he got into the carriage, Zong Che stretched out his arms and hugged An Xu tightly. An Xu could hear his heart beating one after another.

"Okay, I'm fine." An Xu raised his hand and patted him on the back.

Suddenly feeling a drop of hot water dripping from his shoulder, An Xu was shocked, and turned his head to look at Zong Che's face, but he hugged him even tighter.

"I promise, I will only let you suffer this kind of uselessness once." His voice was low and hoarse, and the hot breath that came out of him when he spoke, sprayed on An Xu's shoulders, making her a little funny.

"I'm really okay." She patted Zong Che on the back again, "Let me go."

Zong Che didn't seem to hear, he hugged her for a while before letting go, lowered his head, grasped her ankle with hot palms, gently lifted it up and placed it on his knee.

Before An Xu could say that he was coming, he took out a thin white porcelain bottle from his belt.

"Why are you carrying this?"

Zong Che glanced at her and said, "Just in case."

It's just that he didn't expect to make her suffer like this.

"Is this emperor too moody?"

Zong Che first rubbed the ointment evenly in the palm of his hand, then pressed it on Wu Qing's knee and rubbed it slowly. An Xu was a little embarrassed, so he wanted to speak to lighten the atmosphere.

Zong Che looked up at her and said, "I just want to control people's hearts too much."

The emperor is not omnipotent. He can make thousands of people obey his orders, but he can't make everyone willing to die for him. At this time, just turn a blind eye and close one eye. If you insist on controlling everything, you will end up with nothing.

"Feeling better?" After a while, Zong Che put down her pants and asked.

An Xu nodded, "It's much better."

But does the emperor value Zong Che or not?A few days ago, he was rewarded and canonized, so if he punished himself to kneel today, wouldn't Zong Che lose any face?
She herself was punished like this, and she didn't feel wronged when she thought about it carefully.Because she was originally an insignificant person. In this era, the lives of ordinary people are even worse than ants.

In the eyes of those in power, she is nothing.

Three, six, nine, etc., this is not a simple sentence to divide people, but the tacit agreement that in the eyes of the highest class, the lower class and them do not belong to the same species.

Do you think a cat and a dog have dignity?So today's treatment of her by the emperor's family is completely normal behavior.

The development of civilization for thousands of years is nothing more than making everyone's dignity as a human being more and more legitimate.

An Xu leaned against the wall of the car, thinking about the business she had already done and the ones she hadn't set foot in. She should also add weight to herself.

Now that he has swam into the big pond of the capital from a small place, he can't just live by other people's aura.

----

When Mrs. Gu returned home, she heard that the master was at home, so she went to find him.

In the study, Gu Wei was painting, and when he saw his wife coming in hesitant to speak, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Has that disciple of yours lost his Sacred Heart?" Mrs. Gu asked.

Gu Weiti dipped his pen in ink, and asked indifferently: "I entered the palace today, did something happen?"

Mrs. Gu sat down on a chair beside her and said, "That cook." Seeing the master's gaze, she changed her words and said, "Miss An, she was picked on by a noble concubine for no reason. Her attitude made her kneel on the path for more than a stick of incense."

The pen in Gu Wei's hand stopped, and the withered yellow paint dripped onto the rice paper, forming a ball, so he put down the pen and sighed: "Your Majesty, with this temperament, people have to obey their old age."

At that time, when he was a new official, he was valued by Emperor Shuntai because of his extensive knowledge and strong knowledge. He would call him to give lectures from time to time. Emperor Shuntai even joked that although they were about the same age, he was knowledgeable enough to call him a master. .

Later, when the princes grew up, they all listened to his lessons.

So although Gu Wei is not known as the emperor's teacher, in this capital where there are nobles everywhere, there are also emperor's teachers.

In his heart, he has always regarded the emperor as a friend.

In the past two years, I have become more and more afraid.

Gu Wei sighed, "Being by the emperor's side, you must know that Jun'en has gentle winds and thunders, and you can't just bear the gentle winds. If you punish him for kneeling, he will punish you for kneeling. By the way, it's no big deal for Xu'er."

"No, I just knelt down," Mrs. Gu said, "I didn't think it was serious, so I didn't plead for mercy."

Gu Wei glanced sideways at his wife, but didn't say anything else.

"People from the Shen family talked to me today." Mrs. Gu said again.

"The Shen family of Lord Zhen?" Gu Wei asked.

Mrs. Gu nodded: "Yes, the empress did not invite those older old lords this time. Mrs. Shen did not go, but the eldest daughter-in-law of Mr. Shen's family did."

"Well, what's the matter?" Gu Wei looked at the ink dots on the paper, trying to see if he could fix it.

Mrs. Gu paused for a while, stood up and came to Gu Wei's side, and said, "It sounds like she wants to marry our Yuan'er for Shen Xiao."

Gu Wei still concentrated on painting, he was not at all surprised by Madam's words, but said indifferently: "We don't marry the Shen family."

"What's the matter? I looked at that child Shen Xiao, he's pretty good," Mrs. Gu said: "Young and promising, but young people, it's inevitable that there will be moments of confusion."

Mrs. Gu looked at the master's eyes, and said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk, I know you think Miss An is good, and you are complaining to her. But we can't let our daughter miss our good fate because of others. "

Mrs. Gu quite agrees with some of Mrs. Shen's remarks. People with too different backgrounds will break up after being squeezed together.

Ms. An is indeed a good child, a rare good child, but it also depends on who she is compared with. The difference in background has long made it impossible for her to integrate into the life of the Shen family.

Gu Wei said: "Do you think the Shen family is a good match?"

"Compared to the young men of the right age in the capital, Shen Xiao is first-class." Mrs. Gu said, paused, and added: "I think Yuan'er is also willing."

"What's the use of her willingness?" Gu Wei changed another piece of paper and said, "Ask your son, where does Shen Xiao go these days?"

"Where?" Mrs. Gu asked.

"The best brothel in the capital city, the Hundred Flowers House."

Mrs. Gu said a few words, and said: "Man's house, I like to go. When you were young, you also went to the romantic place."

Gu Wei: - - -
He waved his hands and said, "You can do whatever you think, but don't forget, the Shen family also has a cousin girl from the Ming family."

Mrs. Gu was speechless for a while.

Gu Wei had mentioned Zong Che to the mother and daughter earlier, but his wife was worried that Zong Che was born in the countryside, and if he suddenly became rich, he would be "crazy when he succeeds", so she firmly disagreed.

But it seems that he has fallen in love with the Shen family boy.

It is undeniable that the kid has nothing to say no matter whether he is a person or a knowledgeable bearing, but he has a grandmother who is not big enough but still has a deep mind.

Ordinary women really feel like walking on eggshells when they come to Shen's house.

Gu Wei shook his head as he thought about it, and told his wife about the interests of the relationship.

However, Mrs. Gu knew that her master did not just think that the Shen family was inappropriate, but also because she was worried that her family would not be able to get along with Ms. An in the future if she was actually married to the Shen family.

But isn't this one thing for one thing?

As for the cousin girl from the Shen family, there is no need to worry about it. The Shen family is mentioning it to them now, but they have never considered her at all.

Shen Xiao, who was discussed, had just sorted out the accounts of ordnance flow for several years at this time, and was about to get up and leave the Ministry of War.
