Splendid spring returns

Chapter 227
"Yes." Gu Changting agreed, thought for a while and then said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother and the Queen's aunt are going to call me over to scold them, please give me a nice word."

"How can I speak kindly about this? You should suffer the scolding yourself."

The emperor snorted coldly, picked up a memorial and waved his hand: "Go down, I will be upset when I see you."

"Yes."

Gu Changting bowed and left, and when he left the door, several eunuchs who were waiting on him all smiled at him. He pointed at them one by one and gritted his teeth and said, "The money I spend on you all the time cannot be wasted. Be smart and find out who is the ignorant person who will report me to the emperor, and then write it down and tell me."

The eunuchs had no choice but to smile and agree, until he walked away, several eunuchs gathered together and said to Xue Yan, the chief eunuch: "Prince Duan is becoming more and more arrogant now. I remember he was not like this in the past few years. It has only been a few years. Last year." It will be even more amazing after becoming a prince. If this continues, I'm afraid he won't have any good fruits to eat."

Xue Yan waved the whisk with an expressionless expression and said calmly: "Everyone has his own destiny. He is Prince Duan and is favored by the emperor. Naturally, he has the ability to be arrogant. What kind of care do you have? As slaves, we only need to be loyal to our master. That’s good.”

"Yes Yes Yes."

Everyone agreed to step back. Xue Yan turned his head and looked again. Gu Changting could be seen anywhere. He coughed and then turned around and went into the imperial study room to wait.

"Grandma, Aunt Qiu is here."

Hearing the announcement from the little girl outside, Liao Shifang sat up from the couch. The girl who was waiting in the room, Fangcao, quickly took a soft pillow and put it behind her. After a while, Aunt Qiu came in and said with concern: "Grandma is so sick. Still no improvement? Really, the Mid-Autumn Festival is tomorrow, where in the house can’t grandma sit in charge? You are sick right now, what should you do? "

Mrs. Liao said calmly: "Why are you panicking? You are here sighing. I don't know how successful my aunt is. Now, she is finally in charge of the house, but she can't show off her talents so that she can respond to everything in the future. Make preparations."

Aunt Qiu snorted coldly, sat on the embroidered pier in front of Mrs. Liao, and said angrily: "It's really not my concubine who instigated it, it's really the eldest aunt who is too shameless. Who heard that the widowed eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law came back to take charge of the house? She actually Do you want to make this example? I just say that the prince will not tolerate such nonsense, and grandma must not be too weak. However, the prince is busy with work, and grandma is sick again at the moment. Fortunately, Mrs. Xin is still in charge of the kitchen, and I am watching with cold eyes. , Grandma seems to be unable to hold back anymore, and is about to take over the kitchen next. But by then, she will no longer have any constraints in the house, what will Grandma do? We must not let Grandma take over everything smoothly. Have you taken over all the affairs? Let me tell you, it is still my old idea, why not join forces with Madam Yao...

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Mrs. Liao's expression change several times, and she suddenly cried: "Can't you see it yet? I can't protect myself now, who else can I join forces with? Do you think the prince doesn't know what his sister is? Why is he holding back? Isn't it obvious?"

"What's wrong?" Aunt Qiu asked carefully: "Grandma...why are you so discouraged? You are the prince's common wife. Now that there is no princess, you are the biggest." "Haha!" Ms. Liao shook her head and smiled miserably: "Auntie didn't If I die, I will become a child without a mother. Who can make the decision for me? The prince's first son had a falling out with the prince's brother, and the whole capital knew about it. He... He used to be dissatisfied with the prince's brother and the Liao family, saying that we were taking advantage of our power. There will be retribution for those who act rampantly. Now, I am not even willing to do anything superficial. Isn't it clear that I want to break with the prince and the Liao family? Sure enough, you said, if I am caught in this, what else can I do? A good ending?"

"Ah?" Aunt Qiu blinked and said in a panic: "It's...it's not that bad, right? Besides, there are many things that are thrown away by the married daughter. Since grandma married into the palace, and the Liao family also It doesn’t matter, the prince can’t implicate you just because he has turned against the Crown Prince Liao family.”

"The truth is correct. However, I was too deeply involved with my mother's clan in the past. I...it would be okay if my aunt was here, but now my aunt is gone. Are you afraid that the prince will not blame all those things on me? At that time, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stand in this palace."

While speaking, tears were already streaming down her face, and Aunt Qiu was busy trying to comfort her.However, thinking about it, I now have a backer. My grandma used to treat me like a dog. Now I finally don’t have to be ordered around by her anymore, because I feel really happy.

After leaving Liao's courtyard, about a mile away, Aunt Qiu couldn't help but look back at the spacious and exquisite courtyard, and sighed leisurely: "Qiu Ling, have you noticed? Grandma's courtyard is now lifeless. There is no spirit of the past at all.”

Qiu Ling wondered: "The courtyard is not a human being, how can it have spirit and death energy?"

Aunt Qiu smiled and said, "It's just a feeling. I remember that in the past, what I envied most was my grandma's yard. It was spacious and beautiful. Just the few antiques placed in one room were already priceless. I thought at that time Come on, I want to be her dog for the rest of my life. After all, the concubine is her aunt. She loves her as if she were her own daughter. Even the wife of the wife would look down on her. Who would have thought? It has only been a few years and the concubine’s bones are still cold. Her strength is gone.”

Qiu Ling said softly: "It seems that grandma has been suppressed by Aunt Xin since she left Qingliang Pavilion. But the strange thing is that now that Aunt Xin has gone back, why is grandma getting worse every day?"

Aunt Qiu said lightly: "Ms. Xin has been favored after all. Now it seems that when she returned to Qingliang Pavilion, she really agreed to grandma's words. She was just retreating in order to advance, but it doesn't matter. Look carefully, it's not just grandma. The courtyard? This entire palace, in my opinion, is already declining."

Qiu Ling was so panicked that she quickly looked around, and then she breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was there, and whispered: "Auntie, be careful what you say. If people listen to this, can we still survive?"

After saying that, he said nervously: "Auntie, tell me... Master Zhang, can he really... really save us after the palace falls?"

Aunt Qiu said with a smile: "I was worried before, but Madam Yao is right. No matter what, you and I were selected from thousands of people to enter the palace. In the world he has seen, how many can compare with us? Once the palace It’s not like we are going to commit crimes, we are just women. The most we can do is to go to the Jiaofang Department and spend a few dollars to redeem them. Not to mention that we have this incense love, but there is no such thing. If he sees you and me like this, he can’t spend money to redeem it. ? You don’t need to worry, just be of the same mind as me and serve him well so that everything will be fine in the future."
