Queen is fearless

Chapter 428 Candidates

"Emperor... Empress Empress." Shi Yan retreated to the entrance of the hall, because her back was facing the door of the hall, so she didn't notice Gu Jinzhi behind her.

She bumped into her suddenly, considering that the emperor was there, so she didn't open her mouth to scold. She wanted to turn her head and stare, but she didn't expect that the person she bumped into was actually the queen.

Yan's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out at that moment. She quickly knelt on the ground and saluted Gu Jinzhi, "Please forgive me, the empress, the lady did not see you."

The emperor is here, if she wants to step back, she can only face the emperor, with her back to the palace door and retreat, it is normal that she cannot see the people behind her.

Empress... She shouldn't condemn herself because of this, right?

Yan secretly speculated in her heart, her heart was thumping, very uneasy.

Gu Jinzhi has been standing outside the hall door, she can see everything inside the hall clearly, and she also saw some of the ferocity on Yan's face at that moment just now.

This Yan family is indeed something that cannot be supported on the table, and it is the right choice to drive her out of the palace.

"Get up." Gu Jinzhi said in a cold voice, not intending to get too fussy with her, that is, in the past two days, she will completely disappear in the palace.

"Thank you Empress Dowager." Yan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, so she just said, Empress Empress won't bother with her about such a trivial matter.

Standing up, Yan Shi thought about it, and put on a flattering smile on her face, "Madam, the emperor is in the palace, it is the emperor who asked the women to go down to rest, not the women to be lazy."

"If it's possible, the housewife would like to never leave your highnesses for a moment." She thought that her words would make the queen feel that she was serious and responsible.

But she didn't expect that the queen would have seen through what kind of person she was, and she didn't expect that the queen had seen everything just now, and she knew it in her heart.

"Go down." With an order, Gu Jinzhi lifted her feet and walked towards the hall. Her indifferent attitude made Yan's uneasiness rise again.

I always feel that the empress seems to be angry with me. Anyway, her attitude today is different from the past.

Could it be that she was jealous when she saw me talking to the emperor just now?
I can't, I can't compare with the empress with my appearance!

No matter what she thought in her heart, Gu Jinzhi didn't care. When she reached Zhou Jing's side, she stretched out her hand and took Yuan Cheng over.

On weekdays, Zhou Jing prefers to hold Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Cheng is always held by her.

"When did the emperor come back?" Gu Jinzhi asked with a smile as he embraced Yuan Cheng, kissed her, and moved closer to Yuan Zhen, kissing her little cheek as well.

Zhou Jing didn't answer, she moved her face closer and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

Seeing him like this, Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then he had a funny face, the emperor dared to see him kissing Yuan Cheng and Yuan Zhen, and also came to beg for a kiss with him.

When Gu Jinzhi didn't come over, Zhou Jing stretched out his hand and tapped his face, Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to lean forward and kiss him on the cheek too.

Immediately, Zhou Jing showed a similar expression.

It was still cold outside, so it was not suitable to take the children out. The empress held the children and stood for a while, then put them down to play by herself.

"That wet nurse, what's going on?" Thinking of what happened just now, Zhou Jing frowned.

Gu Jinzhi didn't hide anything, and reported his thoughts and plans to him.

"In the next two days, Mrs. Qin will come back. By then, Ms. Yan will have enough things to deal with, and arrangements have been made outside the palace, so she will be sent out of the palace."

"I'm asking people to choose carefully, to find someone who can take good care of Yuan Cheng, but right now, I haven't found a suitable one."

On Yuan Zhen's side, it was settled. Qin Shi came back and continued to take care of Yuan Zhen, but Yuan Cheng's side was not so easy to choose.

It is very important to be able to serve the people around Yuan Cheng. After all, when Yuan Cheng is established as the prince, the identities of the people around him will be different.

The reason why Mrs. Yan wants to stay with Yuan Cheng wholeheartedly is because she has seen this point. She is a country woman who can have such an idea, let alone these fine-looking palace people in the palace?

"The people who serve Yuan Cheng... How about this, leave this matter to me, and you don't have to worry about it."

Yuan Cheng is the prince, and the candidate for the prince in his heart must be carefully screened if he can serve him. Zhou Jing is very clear about this.

Therefore, Gu Jinzhi said that it was not easy to choose this person, so he immediately took him over.

It would be great for the emperor to worry about this matter. Right now, both Yuan Cheng and Yuan Zhen have been weaned, even if they don't have a wet nurse, it's okay.

"Yuan Bao." Zhou Jing looked at Yuan Bao, and he hurried forward to salute the emperor.

"I remember, two or three years ago, you took the initiative to bring a little apprentice, how old is this year?"

In the harem, almost every year, there will be new palace people entering the palace.

These people are like the concubines in the harem, what happens in the future depends on their fate.

Some people have good lives and can be assigned to good places, while others have mediocre lives and the places they are assigned are not very good, but it doesn't matter, as long as you 'work hard', there will always be a chance to be assigned to good places.

There are also people with bad luck and no way to 'work hard', so they can only hang around at the bottom.

The maids are fine, they can go out of the palace when they reach a certain age, but the eunuchs can't, their roots are gone, so even if they go out of the palace, what can they do?
Two or three years ago, also by chance, Yuan Bao met a young eunuch who had just entered the palace in the palace.

In the past, he might not care about it. He didn't know what happened that day, so he was moved with compassion, so he took that child with him.

Of course, the emperor knew that, after all, Yuan Bao was someone close to him, and if Yuan Bao wanted to lead someone, he had to pass by the emperor's side.

In the imperial palace, apart from using money to 'work hard', there is another way to climb up, which is to recognize the godfather and worship the master. How many people want Yuanbao to be the master and godfather, but Yuanbao doesn't accept this.

It can be said that that child was really lucky to have someone with Yuan Bao's status as his master.

It was also the kid who was up to the challenge. He had been by Yuan Bao's side for the past few years, and he had always been very clever and knew how to do things. Yuan Bao liked him very much.

Suddenly hearing the emperor asking his little apprentice, Yuan Bao was a little surprised, and then realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

"Back to the emperor, the little dog is nine years old this year, and the slave has taken him for three years. He is very clever."

It can be seen from the name that he is a child from a poor family, otherwise he would not be called a "little dog", and he would not have entered the palace at the age of five or six.

Yuan Bao never changed his name, he just thought that one day, where he could send it to, let the master give him a name.

"Nine years old, it's a good age." Zhou Jing nodded, thinking of the name, "Change the name, from now on it will be called... Lonicera."

"As for you, I was supposed to change your name. Since you have served me for many years, it's a great honor for you. Let's keep calling you Yuanbao."
