Your Majesty, I'm Guilty

"These teas are famous and too valuable. Please take them back from the father-in-law of the storage workshop."

After careful consideration, Gu Wenjun still tends to refuse.

However, the eunuchs of Zaochu workshop seemed to hear nothing. They still knelt peacefully one by one. Gu Wenjun didn't get up until he took it.

"Childe Gu, since it's the Zao Chu Fang who wants to make amends, you can take it. It's a honor to keep it in the house. No one will dare to bully you in the future." Di Tao whispered, full of uncontrollable excitement.

Di Tao can't think of anything too far. He only knows that he has finally breathed out.

Before that, the two were just small eunuchs in charge of guarding the door in the Zaochu workshop. They dared to talk to Gu Wenjun.

Now, even the head eunuch and Deacon Eunuch in Zaochu's shop should bow and bow to Gu Wenjun with respect.

The comparison between the former and the latter is really an antidote. If he could repay the grievances suffered by childe Gu, di Tao would not feel that he had been hurt in vain.

But Gu Wenjun was not confused. She lit a glass lamp in her heart, transparent and bright.

These eunuchs knelt in a row. It seemed that they were really kneeling Gu Wenjun. In fact, they were kneeling behind her, Her Majesty the emperor. They didn't listen to what Gu Wenjun said.

Just follow your Majesty's instructions. Come and apologize to Mr. Gu.

Gu Wenjun was helpless and turned to Liu Xi to say, "please put it away for me, Grandpa Liu."

She deliberately only explained it to Liu Xi. In fact, she wanted Liu Xi to accept it on her behalf in case someone would quarrel again later. Gu Wenjun also had a reason to defend.

After all, Liu Xi is the emperor's confidant in the open, not more square.

Liu Xi didn't expect so many twists and turns. Gu Wenjun accepted it, his face was slightly happy, folded his hands and smiled, "OK, Mr. Gu doesn't blame you, so you should consciously put things away. In the future, be careful!"

They dare not listen.

One after another took a long breath, looked slow, and quickly collected all the gifts one by one to put them into the house where Gu Wenjun lived.

In front of Gu Wenjun, they all tightened their bodies and dared not show their exposed emotions. Only when they left, did they dare to reveal some real ideas.

"Fortunately, childe Gu didn't argue with us about building a storage workshop, otherwise it's really sad!"

"What's the matter? Imperial concubine Ji's fighting skills also implicated our small memorial archways in charge of logistics! What bad luck! Those two little eunuchs were so stupid that they almost killed the whole Zaochu archway!"

"If they hadn't eaten father-in-law Wang's board, they would be half dead. The miscellaneous family really wants to add a heavy penalty to them. They are really two useless waste!"

"Yes, it's not good to take advantage of it. There's already trouble in the imperial concubine Ji's palace. Don't think the imperial concubine will give us a good face again. Offending childe Gu, we've put up a banner of poor office at your Majesty's side. Can we have good fruit to eat in the future? Alas!"

In fact, the Zaochu workshop also has its own careful thinking.

Your majesty just asked them to make amends. As long as Zaochu workshop took out some better tea to make amends, it could cope with the scene. But they took out all the treasures at the bottom of the box in their workshop and gave them to Gu Wenjun without money.

You know, these are rare products, and even solitary products.

Now it's given to Gu Wenjun, and then to his majesty, the empress dowager, other concubines, Royal relatives, relatives, princes and other dignitaries, but it's less or not at all.

It's a big bet for Zaochu workshop.

"It seems that in the future, we can only please Mr. Gu. The Zaochu workshop must choose one to curry favor with."

"The imperial concubine and Empress Dowager are still in an unknown situation. Your majesty now attaches great importance to childe Gu. Childe Gu has a good temperament and doesn't hate us for building a storage workshop. It's better to take childe gu!"

"Yes, yes! Just choose childe gu!"

This is the reason why Gu Wenjun got such a valuable gift.

But also pushed Gu Wenjun to a high position. In fact, the longer she stays in the palace, the more attractive she will be.

She still has two difficulties to break through in the imperial examination. She can't stay in the palace until the entrance examination. She doesn't even go to Wenshan college.

The royal highness of Princess Ji Guifei and Xiao Yunyi is nothing but an aggravation of the idea that Gu Wenjun intends to leave the palace.

The real purpose is the same.

One is to respect the king, the other is to avoid the limelight.

But Gu Wenjun's problem now is that successive requests to leave the palace have been rejected by his majesty.

It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out.

In addition, Gu Wenjun didn't want to be alienated from his majesty, and he couldn't think of how to persuade him. For a moment, it became an impasse.

Her majesty can think of what she can think of.

But your majesty doesn't like her way.

Gu Wenjun didn't know his Majesty's intention, but she knew that his Majesty must have his own idea.

But his majesty is becoming more and more brazen about her holy family, which has obviously been very blatant, but no one, from his majesty to Liu Xi, feels that there is anything wrong. Instead, Gu Wenjun was pushed into an embarrassing situation.

Liu Xi didn't notice Gu Wenjun's worry. He smiled and said, "the tone of a place has changed, and others in the palace will soon understand. Childe Gu, wait and see. Today's gift is only the first, and there will be a steady stream of gifts coming to the door!"

"What's good to see!" Gu Wenjun didn't like to worry, and said directly to Liu Xi: "today's trouble is not only that the people in the palace know me, but also that they provoke criticism in the court. It's to find me a problem!"

Liu Xi shook her head and said, "childe Gu is worried. You have a name and surname in the hearts of ministers."

"What do you mean?"

"You haven't stopped since you entered Beijing. Wenshan college won the first place in the examination, won the praise of Zhang Shoufu, and wrote a book called the romance of the west chamber, which shocked the capital. This time it was the top of Jiangdong rural examination. When did you keep a low profile?" Liu Xi took the matter apart and analyzed it.

"And this time, there are certainly not a few people who know that you entered the palace and secretly pay attention to it. It's better to point out directly that you entered the palace by virtue of medical skills. You will get a reward for healing the empress dowager, but you will fall into the truth."

That makes sense.

Liu Xi consciously made a very reasonable point. The more he said, the more smooth he was. His eyebrows were raised.

He knew that his majesty didn't want Gu Wenjun to leave the palace so soon, so he strongly advised Gu Wenjun to stay. Although his majesty didn't come to see Gu Wenjun, Liu Xi was his Majesty's eyes and His Majesty's mouth.

Everything conveys your Majesty's meaning.

Also because Liu Xi knew that most of his Majesty's thoughts were tied to Gu Wenjun.

Seeing people's expression slightly loose, Liu Xi was moved and thought that Gu Wenjun had been persuaded by himself.

But Gu Wenjun just stopped arguing, and the wrinkles in the center of his eyebrows still didn't calm down. She looked at the wounded polyester peach, and looked at Liu Xi, who was careful to please. She sighed: "wait until your majesty goes down tomorrow."

Liu Xi wants to say it again, but Gu Wenjun doesn't want to talk anymore.

Titao was hurt and she was tired herself.

It's late at night. It's time to have a rest.

Although she did not explain, anyone could see that Gu Wenjun was obviously full of doubts.

She was worried that Liu Xi thought too simply. Of course, anything can be explained, but your majesty can't. The whole world belongs to the emperor. The emperor will do whatever he wants.

But everyone wants glory and wealth, and wants the king to be spoiled. Gu Wenjun is the only one who has won the favor. How can others be reconciled.

Gu Wenjun just doesn't want to be used by intentional people to become a handle to attack his majesty.

It turned out that she didn't worry too much.

The next morning.

Two new things were played immediately, even beyond the controversial proposal to return to Beijing.

Ji Pei, the Minister of the Ministry of household, stepped out of the line and knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Yunyu, who sat high on the Dragon chair. He held the chaowat recording your intention and began to play loudly: "minister Ji Pei, apologize to your majesty."

Ji Pei's eyes are concave, and the corners of his eyes are long and sharp. As soon as he opens, he looks like an eagle's eye. He is embedded in his thin and rigid long face, showing his edge. Their Ji family, from the last three generations, has had boundless scenery from Yongle Hou down. Ji Pei's sister is the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager of the emperor.

Therefore, even if Ji Pei is facing Xiao Yunyu, he is holding a punch in his respect.

But today, Ji Pei took the initiative to apologize!

The ministers of the whole court were all cold and raised their spirits to see Ji Pei kneeling in the middle.

Only the first auxiliary adult arranged at the head, Zhang Yuzheng's grain silk did not move, and he was still calm. It seems that Ji Pei has expected what to say.

Xiao Yunyu looked pale, but with a pair of long and narrow handsome eyes, he looked down at the whole court and saw all the changes in the faces of all the ministers, especially Ji Pei's. The emperor's thin lips pursed slightly, like a smile.

Looking down, Ji Pei lowered his eyes and hid the fierce light in his eyes.

"Well, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the season house and entrusted the royal highness of Yi Yi to the care of the quarter." in the end, the little minister betrayed the trust of the Empress Dowager and his majesty, only to recite her meticulous care, neglecting the discipline of the princess, and temporarily let the princess run back to the palace without authorization, which violated many palace prohibitions, all of which were the mistakes of the little ministers, and invited your majesty to sin!

He spoke bitterly. People saw the appearance of repentance. They really thought it was sincere repentance.

Without waiting for Xiao Yunyu to speak, other ministers of the Ministry of household came out to intercede for Ji Pei.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ji has been working hard for his official business, which is in everyone's eyes. Although this fault is unreasonable, it's in love. Please forgive Lord Ji for his hard work for the Ministry of household!"

Immediately someone agreed: "yes, yes, Lord Ji is hard!"

There was even a talk for Xiao Yunyi. "And the princess left the palace for nearly a year, and it was understandable at the same time that she was young and capricious. Her Majesty also asked for her royal highness."

Ji Pei frowned and shook his head. "No! It's all wrong with the princess!" his majesty did not punish his royal highness. He must punish the younger ministers for example.

"How can this work, your majesty?"

For a moment, officials related to Ji Pei's friendship stepped out one after another to speak for Ji Pei.

The other ministers stood quietly in the queue and watched Ji Pei's performance coldly.

They are all foxes built for thousands of years. Who doesn't know who is singing what tricks. Moreover, yesterday, Xiao Yunyi was escorted back to Ji's house. It had been widely spread. Before the Chaoyi conference began, they had their own conjectures.

But no one thought that Ji Pei dared to be so arrogant and use his contacts and forces to suppress the emperor.

Zhang Shoufu even sneered at the bottom of his heart: "is Ji Pei confused this time, your majesty is not so easy to deal with!"

Sure enough, Xiao Yunyu didn't even move his eyebrows. He just stared at the ministers coldly and fooled around under his eyes.

He just opened his lips and threw a not light but not heavy hum: "strange. I haven't said whether to punish, so you can't wait to beg for mercy for Lord Ji. Do you want me to punish or don't want me to punish?"

The voice just fell.

Facing up, it was like freezing, and all the sounds were stopped.

The household column was completely quiet. It seemed that someone suddenly choked his throat and couldn't even gasp.

Ji Pei glanced around at the group. He couldn't speak. He scolded the waste. Then he could only harden his head and answer: "I don't dare to guess your Majesty's will, but I know my fault and want to ask for punishment!"

"I was considerate of my hard work and didn't want to punish Aiqing. Since Aiqing was so determined, I had to think about punishment according to Aiqing's meaning." Xiao Yunyu's tone remained unchanged, but Ji Pei clearly heard sarcasm.

The more frightened he was, the more cold sweat flowed on his forehead.

For fear that the little emperor would tell a heavy punishment at the next moment, Ji Pei hastily added a sentence: "yes! It is through the princess's Royal Highness that he found that the ministers were negligent in the code of rites, and let the officials make up their minds to reform their rites."

"Your majesty! I want to keep my courtesies. Princess Yun Yi wants to keep her courtesies. Your royal highness should also keep his courtesies!"

"Wei Chen thought about it and thought that King Jing should return to Beijing and behave according to the rules. Now that the world is suffering, there is no reason to use Royal etiquette to respond!" Ji Pei suddenly released his words, like splitting a thunderbolt in the court hall.

Even those ministers who were happy to see Ji Peifeng's cool jokes and stood still were shocked and stunned.

Even the most calm Zhang Shoufu is a tight face.

Between the eyes, countless undercurrent waves surged, "what's the matter? Ji Pei didn't vote for King Jing back to Beijing before. Now he refuted King Jing and turned to his majesty?"

"Has he been beaten by his majesty?"

"No, that's what the Empress Dowager means?"

……

Just when everyone was suspicious, Ji Pei suddenly threw another heavy weight: "but, your majesty, you have to obey the gift of the son of heaven!"

"The Empress Dowager was assassinated before, and Feng was frightened and seriously ill again. How can your majesty let a cloth man outside the palace to treat the Empress Dowager? Isn't it against the rules of the palace!"

"And I heard that it was Gu Wenjun and Gu Caizi who were famous in the capital before, but your majesty can't invite foreign men into the palace because of appreciation, and allow Gu Wenjun to go in and out of the back palace. What's the style!"

Xiao Yunyu smiled on his lips, but the smile was cold.
