Spring Girl's Notes

454 Regardless

Everything was still undecided, and Concubine De was crying in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother has a headache.

She felt that Concubine De was making a fuss out of a molehill.

She was about to lose her temper.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager thought of what happened to Concubine De's elder sister, Gu Shi, in the Yuan family.Thinking of those things, the Empress Dowager still feels chilled to this day, and she is not worth it for the Gu family.

Therefore, Concubine De was so against the Yuan family, it was understandable that she felt that none of the Yuan family's children were good people.The Queen Mother can understand her.

However, it is not up to Concubine De to decide on this matter, and even the Empress Dowager can only help in the details and cannot point fingers.

A princess chooses a son-in-law, but a non-ordinary family chooses a son-in-law, and the inner house can also make irresponsible remarks.The selection of a son-in-law by the princess is a major political event, and the harem must not interfere.

Distress is distressed, rules are rules.

The queen mother hardened her heart and put on a straight face.

Concubine De didn't just cry blindly, she also kept an eye on the Queen Mother's movements from time to time.

Crying is just a means to an end.

Seeing that the queen mother was silent and there was no movement at all, Concubine De boldly raised her head and took a look at the queen mother.In her tearful eyes, she could also see the empress dowager's stern expression.

Concubine De's heart clenched slightly, her crying became low and gradually turned into a thin sob.

After a while, the Queen Mother sighed slowly, and said to Concubine De: "You feel sorry for Yongchun, and the Ai family knows it. Not to mention that the matter is inconclusive, even if it is settled, it is for the sake of the overall situation. You cry here, If it is spread out, it is not known how important it is.”

This is to tell Concubine De to remember the rules.

Concubine De's hand was tightly clenched.

her mind.Turning quickly.

She hurriedly kowtowed to the Queen Mother to make amends: "The concubine is frivolous. However, the concubine really can't let it go. Empress Dowager, the marriage of Yongchun, the concubine depends entirely on you..."

"Stupid words!" The Queen Mother raised her voice slightly, interrupting Concubine De, "It is a major matter for the court to choose a son-in-law for the princess, so what is the master of the Ai family?"

Concubine De finally understood where she was wrong.

It's not that the queen mother doesn't want to take care of it, but it's inconvenient to take care of it.

I cry so much.If there is a commotion and spread, it will be inconvenient for the Queen Mother to intervene secretly.Concubine De understood this truth, stopped crying immediately, and kowtowed to the Queen Mother again: "It's the concubine who spoke recklessly, I beg the Queen Mother to punish her."

Her Majesty saw it.Also relieved.

Concubine De is so easy to understand, which surprised the Queen Mother.Over the years, Concubine De has improved a lot.

"Get up." The Empress Dowager said to Concubine De.

Concubine De said yes, and stood up.

The Queen Mother asked Aunt Cheng to help Concubine De to sit down.

Concubine De took advantage of the situation and sat down.

At this time, the Empress Dowager lowered her voice and said to Concubine De: "The children in this palace are smart and clever, no one can surpass Yongchun. Let alone the emperor. Even Aijia loves her wholeheartedly. The matter of choosing a son-in-law is not something that can be done in a day. Please take it to heart, please be at ease..."

Concubine De respectfully said yes.

The queen mother agreed to take care of it.

But Concubine De's heart did not let go.

She felt something was wrong.

She urged the Gu family to pay attention when they were in the primary election for the Ministry of Rites.Uncle is considered to be in power now, so could it be that he can't even compete with Yuan Yuye, who has just gained power?

How did Yuan Xun pass the primary election?

Concubine De wanted to see Gu Jinzhi.

Now he can deliver the message for her.It was Gu Jinzhi.

Back at Jinghe Palace, Concubine De began to pretend to be sick.I want to invite Gu Jinzhi to come to the palace to see her tomorrow.

This time, the queen mother did not agree.

****

Gu Jinzhi also pays attention to the matter of the third princess all the time.

Originally, she didn't want to worry too much.

But the involvement of the Yuan family made Gu Jinzhi take it seriously.

Then, from Zhu Zhongjun, she heard that the Yuan family's child had passed the primary election.

Gu Jinzhi's reaction was no different from that of the Empress Dowager and Concubine De. She was very surprised and felt strange.

Uncle, why didn't he even handle this matter well?

Although the prince supervises the country, his foundation in the court is shallow.Uncle has been entrenched in the court for many years, and he can't bear such a trivial matter, which makes people feel abnormal.

"...Did my uncle do it on purpose?" Gu Jinzhi suddenly asked Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun smiled mysteriously and didn't answer.

Gu Jinzhi was [-]% certain in her heart.

"My uncle didn't make a move at all?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

Zhu Zhongjun finally opened his mouth and said, "Everyone has their own plans. Your uncle made a move, but he and Concubine De are not of the same mind, and he didn't try his best."

Gu Jinzhi knew that his guess was right.

"...Your uncle, I wish the Yuan family could honor the third princess." Zhu Zhongjun said meaningfully.

Gu Jinzhi pondered for a moment and understood.

In her heart, she sighed silently.

"The third princess is the emperor's favorite." Gu Jinzhi sighed helplessly, "Everyone in the capital knows about my fourth sister. When the emperor comes back and finds out that the third princess has married into the Yuan family, my uncle will send people to play Yuan family, sow some gossip. The emperor loves his daughter dearly, and the rice is ready to cook. He has no choice but to be angry. At that time, not only will he be dissatisfied with the Yuan family, but the prince will also be counted. My uncle has a good plan .”

Zhu Zhongjun nodded, and said: "I guess your uncle is also thinking about this. The Yuan family has Yuan Yuye's affairs first, so they can't be regarded as an innocent family at all. Back then, the Yuan family framed your fourth sister for murdering their children, and there has been no one up to now. Let me explain. When the emperor comes back, he will send someone to provoke the princess and the son-in-law, the princess will go into the palace and cry, and the courtiers will add fuel to the flames, and the Yuan family's fate will be over."

"It's really a good plan." Gu Jinzhi said, "But I wronged the third princess..."

Zhu Zhongjun was silent for a while.

His view on this matter is different from Gu Jinzhi's.

"Your uncle has no original sin in this matter." Zhu Zhongjun finally said, "The one who wants to marry the third princess is the Yuan family; the one who wants to elevate the Yuan family is the crown prince and Yuan Yuye. It's Xun's fault. Your uncle is just pushing the boat with the tide and planting hidden dangers."

"I didn't say it was my uncle's fault." Gu Jinzhi sighed softly, "I just pity the third princess. Concubine De entrusts me with all her strength. Let the Gu family handle this matter well, she will be disappointed..."

"She entrusted the Gu family, not you." Zhu Zhongjun's voice was a little cold, "Gu Jinzhi, you are too sincere to people. I said at that time, you should not promise anything to Concubine De."

Gu Jinzhi then turned his head, looked at Zhu Zhongjun, and slowly said: "I didn't agree to Concubine De just to show off. It's just because the third princess is also a woman. If King Jin has something to do, I can ignore it. You are a man, don't you know?" The hardships of a woman. If I can help the third princess, even if I am blamed, I will be happy..."

Zhu Zhongjun's heart moved slightly.

He reached out his hand suddenly and pinched Gu Jinzhi's face.Treat her like a child.

His fingertips were warm.

"Gu Jinzhi, live with me, you don't have to worry about those so-called hardships." Zhu Zhongjun said solemnly.

Gu Jinzhi's heart was immediately touched.

She laughed.

"I believe it." Gu Jinzhi said.

The summer night wind, warm and pleasant, blows in through the window.The candle dances lightly, like someone's heart.

The smile on Gu Jinzhi's face.Can't hide.

She lowered her head quietly.

Zhu Zhongjun intentionally teased her, raised her chin, and said, "I'm so worthless, you'll be overjoyed if you say a few nice words. How do you know that a man's words don't count at all?"

Gu Jinzhi smiled even sweeter.

She said: "You are different. Your words count. I never doubt you. "

Zhu Zhongjun's teasing smile faded slightly.

He leans over.Gently kissed Gu Jinzhi's lips.

"Thank you for trusting me," he said.

Gu Jinzhi held his hand tightly.

****

The marriage of the three princesses was after the primary election by the Ministry of Rites.It is scheduled for the first day of August, and the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony will be responsible for the re-selection.

Concubine De is now like an ant on a hot pot, restless.

She really wanted to know which eunuch the crown prince would hand-picked as the supervisor of ceremonies.

She can't see the family members.

Even Gu Jinzhi and the Empress Dowager refused to let Concubine De see her.Probably the Empress Dowager also found it tricky and didn't want Gu Jinzhi to get involved.

The queen mother is very partial to Gu Jinzhi.

Concubine De concubine gritted her silver teeth, and there was no one to trust her.

Finally, she thought of her son King Jin.

She asked Jin Wang to inquire about the news.

King Jin was very afraid of the prince.

As soon as he heard that his mother asked him to go to the East Palace, he immediately dodged, faltering and saying: "Mother, before the emperor went to the war, the emperor asked me to practice calligraphy with the Qin imperial doctor. If I can't write well, the emperor will scold me when he comes back."

Then ran away.

Concubine De stomped her feet angrily.

Then I thought, King Jin is too young, so he may not be able to do everything well.

The more Concubine De thought about it, the more disturbed she became.

Thinking about the Fourth Sister, Concubine De hated the Yuan family deeply.

Let her send her daughter to the enemy's house?

She wished that the Yuan family would be quarreled and wiped out, so that Concubine De's hatred could be relieved.

In her natal family, the only one close to Concubine De was the fourth girl, Gu Shanzhi.

She had to ask the Queen Mother again.

In Renshou Palace, Concubine De unexpectedly met Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi also came into the palace to inquire about news.

The queen mother deliberately didn't want Gu Jinzhi and Concubine De to meet, but also to keep Gu Jinzhi and King Luyang out of the matter, so there was no need to compete with the prince.

But Gu Jinzhi seems to be more inclined towards the concubine De.

"... Empress Dowager, I would like to say a few words to Concubine De." Gu Jinzhi said directly to the Empress Dowager, without hiding it.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a while, but said helplessly, "Go."

Gu Jinzhi and Concubine De came out of Renshou Palace and went to Jinghe Palace.

On the way, Concubine De didn't say anything.

When they arrived at Jinghe Palace, Concubine De sent away her left and right, and only then did she start talking to Gu Jinzhi about her worries.

"Have you heard that Yuan Xun entered the primary election?" Concubine De asked Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi nodded: "I heard. I entered the palace today to discuss this matter with my empress..."

"Then have you ever met my aunt?" Concubine De asked anxiously again, "What did aunt say, is it inconvenient to do something during the primary election? Will uncle be sure to exclude Yuan Xun in the second selection?"

Gu Jinzhi was slightly silent.

"...Why, you haven't seen your aunt yet?" Concubine De became nervous.

She is in the deep palace, and her thinking is a bit limited.

Gu Jinzhi didn't know how to start.

After thinking for a while, Gu Jinzhi covered up for the uncle: "I have never met my aunt. Madam, the prince supports the third princess in choosing a son-in-law, and the uncle is no better than the prince. If the child of the Yuan family passes the second selection, it will be Undoubtedly, it is the son-in-law. The day after tomorrow is the first day of the eighth lunar month, who will go to the palace of the princes for the second selection, have you heard?"
