When he arrived at Gu's house, Zhu Zhongjun heard that the former king of Luyang refused to leave, so he hesitated.

Then, he returned to his palace.

There are two guards brought over from Luzhou beside him.

The butler is a permanent resident in the capital.

He inquired about some things carefully and cleverly, and then he figured out his situation and his relationship with Gu Jinzhi, and he also began to rely on Gu's family.

When Gu Jinzhi was teaching Brother Xuan to read, he lazily leaned on the big guide pillow beside him, holding a book of Analects, and read it intently.

But his whole person changed.

Brother Xuan didn't quite understand how Zhu Zhongjun had changed, he just felt that he was different from the previous prince.

In the past, although King Luyang was stupid, he smiled really brightly at Brother Xuan.

And Zhu Zhongjun's smile is shallow, with a bit of coping, not from the heart.

Brother Xuan can feel it, but can't express it, so he doesn't like to talk to Zhu Zhongjun.

After reading the book, Mu Qing made snacks for them in the small kitchen in the main courtyard.

Brother Xuan made an excuse to run to see it.

Song Pan'er was resting in the back room, she was very tired recently.

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, Gu Jinzhi had a hunch that it might be twins.

This also exhausted Song Pan'er's energy.

Dongcijian was originally studied by Gu Jinzhi's siblings, and there was no one who served him.

As soon as brother Xuan ran away, Zhu Zhongjun crawled over, pillowed on Gu Jinzhi's thigh, and continued to read.

Gu Jinzhi patted his forehead lightly: "Lie on the pillow...how decent is it for people to come in and see it?"

The corners of Zhu Zhongjun's lips twitched, unmoved: "I'm a fool! I held your hand outside. Others don't think it's disrespectful!"

Gu Jinzhi didn't say anything more.

Her hand stroked gently along his cheeks, jaw, neck, and lips, sweeping back and forth.

Gently, rubbing with fingertips again.

Zhu Zhongjun finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up and glared at her: "You usually tease a fool like this? Gu Jinzhi, you are too impure."

Gu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.

If you want to pretend to be a fool, you need capital.

After that, Zhu Zhongjun didn't dare to act stupid in front of Gu Jinzhi.

Sometimes he also said: "I want to marry you again in this life. It's really strange to be a husband and wife in two lives. We didn't cultivate such a deep fate in our previous life."

Gu Jinzhi ignored him.

She took Zhu Zhongjun into the palace once.

Zhu Zhongjun remembered Gu Jinzhi's saying that King Luyang was very kind to the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother's Kunning Palace is where he grew up.He has no scruples about anything and can shout in the hall.

He recalled the few fools he had seen in his previous life.

He pretended to be very similar.

Not to mention the Queen Mother, Gu Jinzhi was a little dazed when he saw it.

She even almost forgot that Zhu Zhongjun is a person who is very good at acting.Those words and deeds to her these days.It also quickly faded from Gu Jinzhi's heart.

The emperor saw Zhu Zhongjun.Then he took him to the Royal Garden.Ask about the wound on his head.

Gu Jinzhi followed.

Zhu Zhongjun cried once in front of the emperor: "...It hurts so much. Xiaoqi said, don't tell the queen mother, the queen mother is worried. But it hurts so much."

cry sadly.

Gu Jinzhi's heart twitched.

King Luyang is like this.

The emperor gently patted his head.Sighing, he told him: "In the future, you must listen to Xiao Qi's words carefully, and don't climb high."

Zhu Zhongjun wiped his tears and said he knew.

When he went back, he asked Gu Jinzhi: "How, how do you think I did?"

Gu Jinzhi closed his eyes and remained silent.

She's a little down.

Zhu Zhongjun is a very shrewd person.From Gu Jinzhi's eyes, he could guess her emotions.

He asked, "You don't really like that fool, do you?"

Then, the car fell silent.

When he arrived at Gu's residence, Zhu Zhongjun was that idiot prince again.

He is already proficient at pretending.

After dinner, he was still studying with their siblings during the Dongji time.

The days went by day by day.

He stayed at Gu's house all day long, keeping company with Gu Jinzhi and Brother Xuan, and rarely asked about other business matters.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the Empress Dowager rewarded Gu Jinzhi to accompany Song Pan'er into the palace to greet her.

Their mother and daughter have no titles, so they were not allowed to enter the palace.The queen mother issued a decree.

He was also afraid that the presence of other foreign wives would make Song Pan'er uncomfortable, so he refused other people to enter the palace, and only invited Gu Jin's mother and daughter.

The queen mother also heard that Song Pan'er has always been competitive and strong.

Song Pan'er was very moved.

She gradually became satisfied with King Luyang, and was even more grateful to the Queen Mother.The unhappiness brought to her by that marriage also disappeared.

In front of the queen mother, she was both respectful and lively, which surprised the queen mother a little.

The Empress Dowager didn't know that Song Pan'er had a well-educated conversation, but she was not submissive, she was a very happy person.Therefore, she also felt that Song Pan'er was very good from the bottom of her heart.

They were rewarded with a lunch and some medicinal herbs and supplements, and asked Aunt Cheng to send them out of the palace in person.

After the banquet of Song Pan'er, mother and daughter, the queen mother asked Chang Gonggong to call all the beautiful girls who had been screened by the household department to Kunning Palace.

There are more than 50 people in total.

This time, 18 people will be selected from the palace.

Chang Shun had gone to the front station a long time ago. He knew which heroines must be selected and which ones could be selected, so he secretly reminded the Queen Mother one by one.

The Queen Mother is somewhat interested in Gu Jinzhi's cousin.

She knew that the emperor was promoting Gu Yantao, and he must use it again, so she could promote Gu Shi.

The Empress Dowager asked in front of her, "Is that Mrs. Gu from Duke Cheng's Mansion?"

Gu Wan's heart skipped a beat, he took a step out of the crowd, and went forward to greet the Queen Mother.

Her Majesty asked her to look up.

Gu Jinzhi's cousins ​​are all beautiful like her second uncle.

The sixth girl is not half as good-looking as the fifth girl, but she also compares with most of the girls, at least she is more charming than Gu Jinzhi.

The queen mother smiled and said, "Very good!"

One sentence is very good, let everyone remember Gu Wanzhi.

This is one with the Queen Mother as the backer.

It's too late for Gu Wanzhi to be happy now, he just feels dizzy.She tried her best to show off in front of the queen mother.To gain favor.

Little did they know, the queen mother already knew about her.

The Queen Mother asked her a few words, but her voice was a little nervous, and she answered reluctantly.

The queen mother smiled lovingly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The Ai family will not eat you."

Everyone laughed.

Gu Wanzhi's palms were also sweaty, and she also laughed.

Then, Chang Shun came in and announced loudly that the emperor had arrived.

All the show girls felt nervous.

The queen mother also stood up to meet the emperor.

The emperor sat next to the empress dowager and asked with a smile: "Mother, have you chosen yet?"

"This is the beginning of mourning." The queen mother said with a smile.

Gu Wanzhi was already standing at the front, and the emperor saw her at a glance.

He scanned the crowd.All of them lowered their heads.They are tall and low, fat and thin, and it's hard to tell who belongs to whom.

His voice was intentionally loud, and he asked the Empress Dowager, "Which one is Gu Ge's niece?"

When all the beautiful girls heard this, they were both envious and jealous.

Two of them were selected by the Tan family and Xia Shoufu's family.The Tan family is the mother's family of the first queen.Xia Shoufu was the No.1 civil servant of the dynasty.

The emperor and queen do not ask them.But only ask the Gu family.

What does the Gu family have?

One started out selling medicine.In the past few years, some names have been mixed up.When the prominent families in Beijing mentioned the Gu family, they always felt that they were not well-established, and looked down upon them.

result.The emperor and the queen mother only bought the Gu family's account.

The beautiful girl at the bottom is so envious and jealous that her teeth itch.

Gu Wanzhi's bewildered head suddenly became sober.

There was always something wrong with her.

Why only ask her?

This is lifting her to the point where everyone bears hatred. What will she do in the future?Will the Queen Mother really support her?Will the emperor really favor her?

If it is not true, how will she deal with the anger of other concubines selected in the future?

Cynicism is naturally indispensable.

She shouldn't be able to get a high reward, at most a nobleman of the fourth or fifth rank

The Empress Dowager pointed at Gu Wanzhi and said to the emperor, "No, this is it."

"Look up and let me see," said the emperor.

Gu Wanzhi raised his face.

The queen mother paid attention to the emperor's expression.The emperor's eyes were very quiet, and he couldn't tell whether he liked it or not.

Gu Wanzhi is indeed a bit flamboyant, but it's not that this group of beautiful girls is the most brilliant.

She is below average.

"She looks very good." The emperor said to the queen mother, "Queen mother, let her be a concubine of virtue."

Concubine De is a concubine of the second rank.

There is now a concubine Zhang in the emperor's palace, who is concubine Shu, who is also the second grade.

There is only the first-class imperial concubine Tan Shi on the top.

Gu Wanzhi's calm heart beat wildly again.

"What the emperor said is very true. Chang Shun, remember, make the Gu family the Concubine Gu De, and give it to the Qingmu Palace."

Gu Wanzhi knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the empress dowager."

Her eyes are a little wet.

She never expected that the emperor would make her a concubine.

She thought in her heart that she would be satisfied if she could be a noble person of the fourth rank.

After that, she never heard the words in her ear again.

Now, she is not afraid of everyone's envy.

She stood behind, and women kept coming forward in front of her.

Some people are selected, some people are not selected.

Except for her, the other people with the highest status are also nobles of the fourth rank, and they have not been given a palace, and they will be given a palace after they have made meritorious service in the future.

Everyone looked at Gu Wanzhi with fiery eyes.

Those concubines wished they could pounce on her and hold her leg to curry favor with her.

On the second day, Jingli heard about Gu Wanzhi being made a second-rank imperial concubine.

The second lady was so happy that she almost burst into tears.

The second master also felt turmoil in his heart.

Their daughter was conferred the title of Noble Concubine of the Second Rank. If they didn't confer the title of Mrs. Uncle, they should be titles of the Second and Third Rank, right?

Song Pan'er did not expect that she was also a little jealous.

"Sister Wan looks like that, but she has such a future," she said.

She felt that Gu Wanzhi was not good-looking.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said from the side: "The emperor knows that Uncle is feeling uncomfortable because of An Nanguo's mistakes, so he made up for him. Just wait, I will use this matter to give Uncle a Marquis soon."

As a result, that afternoon, Gu Yantao was granted the title of Marquis of Xiping, and the eldest wife was given the title of Mrs. Yipin.

Gu Jinzhi was right as expected.

Zhu Zhongjun asked her in private: "What contribution does your uncle have to the emperor?"

Gu Jinzhi shook his head.

She doesn't want to mention this.

But Zhu Zhongjun smiled: "No credit, the emperor praised him like this... It's like raising a hunting dog, feeding it with the best food, and expecting him to help hunt in the future. When the prey is exhausted, this dog... you and you Auntie is of the same blood, so it may end badly in the future."

Gu Jinzhi glanced at him coldly.

Zhu Zhongjun took the book to read and ignored him.

He has a thorough understanding of political tricks.

Although pessimistic, is it not the words of gold and jade?
