After Princess Jian's funeral, Gu Jinzhi had no contact with Prince Jian's residence.

Fast forward to mid-June.

Zhu Zhongjun also wrote back, in which he only said that he was fine and safe, and asked Gu Jinzhi and the children if they were okay.He said it was safe, and Gu Jinzhi understood that Zhu Zhongjun had secretly returned to Luzhou.

Luzhou is very safe.

Gu Jinzhi wrote back to him, saying that the second child, Yanying, learned martial arts from his master, and his physique is getting better and better; the third child, Yan Shao, who will be two years old in a month, is also becoming more lively and mischievous.

The eldest son, Yan Shan, was taken away by Lin Yi and returned half a year later.

Half a month later, Gu Jinzhi received Zhu Zhongjun's reply.

He told Gu Jinzhi to go to the palace more often to pay respects to the Queen Mother and be filial.I also said that Lin Yi is reliable, so that Gu Jinzhi doesn't have to worry, men should go out more to increase their knowledge.

Gu Jinzhi was quite pleased.

Jingli has not yet calmed down.

The news of the Northwest War was completely blocked. The common people didn't know what to do, and Gu Jinzhi didn't inquire about it.And her uncle, Gu Yantao, had a conflict with the crown prince, which has not yet been reconciled.

And Yuan Yuye, the prince's teacher, finally got his wish and became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the official of heaven.To be able to sit in this position, without talent or virtue, no one will be convinced.

The court exploded, and there were discussions everywhere.

There are many voices of dissatisfaction, even the market has heard.

All kinds of rumors about Yuan Yuye poured in from all directions.

Even Gu Jinzhi heard about it.

There are upright courtiers who speak openly in court.Yuan Yuye is just a villain who is stalking others, he has no great talent at all, and is not good enough to hold a big position.

The prince demoted the courtier to Fujian.

This deterred the courtiers.

Since then, no one has made irresponsible remarks.

But the voice of dissatisfaction in the dark never disappeared.

Taking refuge with the prince is equivalent to becoming a faction with the Tan family.

Yuan Yuye did not.

The division between him and the ministers of the "Tan family" is very clear.

This undoubtedly gave the court a hint: the prince does not trust the Tan family.Now relying on the Tan family branch, there is no one in the Tan family court, and Xia Shoufu, a disciple of the Tan family, has also retired.The prince didn't trust her either, which was a blow to Tan's momentum.

Gu Yantao took the opportunity to suppress several Tan factions and replaced them with his own people.

Whether it's Yuan Yuye or the prince, they are scholars, a self-righteous young man with weak crowns, and they are not as skilled and sensitive as Gu Yantao in dealing with court affairs.

They were just doing whatever they wanted, and they were captured by Gu Yantao.

The courtiers also felt helpless: the prince's behavior.It seems very naive, and it is becoming more and more obvious now, and Yuan Yuye, who he believes in, has the same methods of fighting against dissidents as Gu Yantao back then.

When tigers and wolves fight, someone will always lose their life because of it.

Or rely on Gu Yantao.Or keep a low profile.

Anyway, no one is willing to rely on Yuan Yuye.

They feel ashamed to lose this person.

Yuan Yuye is barren and a man without dignity.

Just when the DPRK and China were discussing this major event.Suddenly there was another piece of news that stirred up waves in the capital.

This matter is about Prince Jian's residence.

After the first seven days of Princess Jian, Princess Sirou will go back to the temple to meditate.

The queen mother called her to the palace and said that she was willing to build a temple outside the city for her, and she would preside over it.

Si Rou was stunned.

She didn't answer for a long time, but her face was flushed.Yu Yu said: "... Empress Dowager, I'm afraid that Si Rou is not enough in practice. If she can't take on such a heavy responsibility, she will disappoint the high expectations of Empress Dowager."

The queen mother sighed, and said, "You child, you are still so caring. The Ai family wants to build a temple for you and allocate some money, but it is just because you feel sorry for your newly lost mother. What do you expect from you?"

Sirou lowered her head.

Her fingers were entangled in one place, turning white.

"It's just that, now that there is a war in the northwest, the treasury's money cannot be used indiscriminately..." The Queen Mother changed the subject and said again.

Sirou was greatly disturbed, she raised her head suddenly, and said in a hurry: "Sirou doesn't dare to let the empress dowager spend money..."

"...The Ai family knows that you are filial. But the Ai family has said this, so there is no reason to go back on your word. Your family has always been rich, and your majesty also rewarded you with good land back then. The Ai family ordered your father to build it for you. In a temple, offering incense is also to accumulate blessings for the Ai family. Would you like it?" The queen mother continued.

Sirou finally understood something, and her heart sank all of a sudden.

She was startled and angry.

She has not officially become a monk yet.Maybe in her mind, she has other ideas about her life.Her illness gradually improved.

She was still thinking recently that maybe the grievance in her heart had already melted away.

After so many years of hard work, she has already paid off her debts.

She even dreamed of Tan You, the man who gave her hope.

The hope in her heart, like a small flame, rushed out.

Now, the Empress Dowager's words extinguished her little flames, and Princess Sirou felt that her life had suddenly lost its light.

There was a momentary darkness before her eyes.

She couldn't help but get angry in her heart: This old woman is really hateful.

Princess Sirou thought again, she was just practicing Dai Fa, what was in the way of the queen mother, why did she suddenly hope that Sirou would really become a monk?

Whose meaning is this, her father and brother's meaning, or sister-in-law's meaning?

Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not take care of their housework.

Princess Sirou only felt the predicament in front of her, and she didn't dare to speak out the complaints and complaints in her heart, so she could only kneel down to the Queen Mother, kowtow, and said: "My Lady, Sirou has been guarding the Buddhist hall for more than six years, and my heart Pious and sincere. Just building temples is a waste of money. Now that there is another war in the northwest, Sirou is willing to entrust the temple alone to pray for the Queen Mother and the people of the world. The money for building the temple is prepared for food and grass and sent to the northwest. blessing."

She thought her words were perfect.

It's none of the Empress Dowager's business whether she becomes a monk or not.

And what the queen mother said today is nothing more than someone provoking.Hope she becomes a monk.

Princess Sirou knew that the imperial court was short of money and food during the war in the northwest.What she meant was that the queen mother would be very happy to let her father and brother voluntarily use the money for building the temple to contribute to the Northwest War.

But for a long while, Princess Sirou didn't hear the queen mother's answer.

The hall was extremely quiet.

The queen mother did not make a sound for a long time.

Princess Sirou, who was full of confidence, suddenly felt a chill down her back.

Could it be that she guessed wrongly what the Queen Mother was thinking?

"Sirou cares about state affairs. Aijia is very pleased." The queen mother said.The voice was cool, and even hinted at a bit of sarcasm.

Sirou turned pale with shock.

Does the Queen Mother think that she is overstepping?

The queen mother lived in the harem all her life, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and the queen mother knew it well.Could it be that in the queen mother's mind, she thought that not only the concubines, but also women in this world.Shouldn't you be involved in politics?

Sirou was just a scene, but in exchange for such an answer, her heart was already chilled.

She quickly kowtowed and said: "Empress Dowager, in the past few years in the temple, Sirou has not done common things. She doesn't know the rules. Sirou just listened to a few words about the war from her father and brother, and then showed off in front of the Empress Dowager. Sirou deserves death. "

She is such a clever person, and she reacts very quickly.

She used to be proud of it too.

Now, she is somewhat uncertain.

Is such a laborious performance useful?

"Where do these words come from?" The Queen Mother continued, her voice was still a bit indifferent and cold, "How can you say that you are guilty and deserve death? You are so smart and clever, and the Ai family praises you. Instead, it provokes you." Generally kowtow and apology, is this complaining that Aijia made a mistake?"

Sirou's heart.It was completely cool.

She knew, she didn't think too much, the queen mother wanted to trouble her today.

what did she do?

Sirou suddenly remembered the last time when she was so angry because of the loss of her mother that she scolded Gu Jinzhi in the back garden.

At that time, she saw Gu Jinzhi's plump cheeks, rosy and healthy, and a faint sweet smile in his eyes, which made Sirou burn with anger.

She thought of her unprovoked illness, which could not be cured by all medicines, and finally had to escape into Buddhism to resolve her injustice.

If it wasn't for that illness, maybe now, she has already entered the Tan family, became Tan You's successor, and gave Tan You a few sons to ensure her position in the Tan family.

In the future, she will be the prince's eldest aunt, and even the prince's cousin, her illustriousness is indescribable.

This is what Princess Sirou wants.

All her life, she never thought of a life of pure heart and asceticism.

The third young master who was married to the Tang family before, apart from his father and brother saying that he wanted to avoid the limelight, he was also the one who Si Rou really loved Tang San.In the end, when something happened like that, she was heartbroken, and now she no longer cares about anyone, and only cares about benefits.

Thinking back in the Tang family, she had to tamper with the public account for a few taels of silver, Sirou felt innocent, Tang San deserved to die, he owed Sirou too much.

But in the end, he also paid the price for Tang San's death and got a strange disease.

And it was Gu Jinzhi who provoked her strange disease.

Sirou knelt before her mother's spirit, thinking of these past events.In addition to her illness, there is also her mother's illness.

Back then, when her mother was ill, she begged Gu Jinzhi many times, but Gu Jinzhi avoided seeing her.She was the one who killed her own mother.

The old hatred and the new hatred came to my heart at the same time, Sirou finally went to his head and wanted to settle accounts with Gu Jinzhi.

Temporary mood, everyone has had.

Sirou went to look for Gu Jinzhi, but not only did not ask about the reason for her illness, she also failed to seek justice for her mother, and was slapped by Gu Jinzhi instead.

He was also knocked unconscious by Gu Jinzhi.

From that moment on, Sirou became somewhat wary of Gu Jinzhi.

The queen mother loves Gu Jinzhi so much, is it because she wants to stand up for Gu Jinzhi?

Sirou thought, the Queen Mother is too much.

She just said a few gossips about Gu Jinzhi, but the Queen Mother wanted to force her to become a monk...

This is not fair!

"Empress Dowager..." Princess Sirou's tears rolled down, and she choked up, "Sirou recently lost her mother, she was deeply saddened, she lost her mind, and for some reason, she said the wrong words in a crazy way."

"The Ai family also knows that you are sad." The queen mother finally felt a little relieved, "The Ai family knows that you are sincere in your cultivation. You don't have to shirk anymore. Your mother left a large sum of money to marry you, and your father paid for you. It is right to build a temple. How about this, the Ai family will ask Qin Tianjian to choose a good day, you will lose your hair first, and when the temple is built, you will be the abbot and teacher, and the Ai family will also grant you a title."

Sirou's legs are a little weak.

She still wanted to struggle, but she heard the queen mother continue, "You are an outsider, and the title of the princess has insulted you instead. The Ai family is the master, first revoke your title of princess, and serve the Buddha innocently."
