Vol 5 Chapter 24: Gu Jing

The Hubu Shangshu of the Guochao was promoted by the old man from the Hubu, with the surname Zhou and the name knot.
He was a scholar in the time of Xiaozong, and he has been an official in the dynasty for many years.
The entire official career is a very typical second-class jinshi route: after being in the rankings, after a series of assessments, first he was sent to the middle county as an official, and then relying on his political achievements, he was promoted step by step...
In the end, relying on ability and opportunity, he took the top spot in the household department.
This person's background is actually similar to Yun Fenghuang. He is not a high-ranking family with serious ethics, but he is also a son of a gentle gentry who occupies the place.
Xu is because there is no strong backer behind him. This Zhou Jie acted very cautiously. Since he has been an official for many years, his reputation has never been bad.
It's not as clean as water, but there are also two brushes.
"That's a problem." Yun Fenghuang listened to Chen Jing's report and said slowly, "Since he is cautious, if he didn't choose, what would he do to offend this palace?"
Although she has rarely done anything in the past two years because of her noble and stable status, but this week Jie is not a newcomer who has just embarked on an official career. Wouldn't she remember the handwriting of Concubine Min's back then?
Even if Zhou Jie is not optimistic about her, he shouldn't be impeached directly to the impeachment?
Isn't this deliberately not giving face to the concubine?
"Manny, the slave servant hasn't found out who Zhou Jie has something to do with." Chen Jing said cautiously, "Now he is staring at someone. If he really doesn't have a plan, he will reveal his traces sooner or later!"
Yun Fenghuang hummed, "When will I have to wait?"
Having said this, after thinking about it for a while, he asked, "At this week's age, my grandchildren should also have to negotiate marriage? How about his heirs?"
"Zhou Jie's heirs are not prosperous, but one son and three daughters. All three daughters have come out of the cabinet, because Zhou Jie has not yet entered the court when he seeks the husband. The marriage can only be regarded as ordinary, and it is not good or bad. "Chen Jing said, "There are three grandchildren, one grandson, two concubines, and two granddaughters. The younger one is only three or five years old now, and the older one is the same age as Princess Zhaoqing."
"When it comes to the palace, when the banquet is held, someone will give Zhang a post." Yun Fenghuang smiled coldly and said, "Don't use the name of this palace, take advantage of these few days, let the three emperors Kind, get close to that girl, then, there will be a reason."
Chen Jing said: "Manny, if you start with her grandchildren, Zhou Jie's grandson, Zhou Xu, has had several contacts with our Seventh Prince."
"Xiao Qi?" Yun Fenghuang muttered, "What's the matter?"
"Our seven princes have only learned about people. On two occasions, His Royal Highness Qin and the three princes had a quarrel, and they agreed to share in the restaurant outside. His Highness was asked by His Highness Qin to come and help sit in town." Chen Jing said, "Zhou. Xu was also among them, but it was not invited by His Royal Highness Qin or the Third Prince, but she followed a few people who looked like they were born to watch the fun. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was gentle and talented, and the servants heard by chance that the emperor was from above and below. Among the high school students, there are many people who have a good impression of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, Zhou Xu and his companions are like that."
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly. If this was the case of King Qin or the Ninth Prince, she would have been prepared to say no.
But the Seventh Prince...
This child with an older hand is not ambitious at least for now, and the most important thing is that his outside family does not want him to take risks.
But he even hoped that he would marry a suitable concubine, and leave the emperor's vassal clan in the capital, and never wade in the muddy waters again.
That being the case, the status of this child's esteem among the high school students is very noteworthy.
"Inquire, do these people admire Xiao Qi spontaneously, or are someone in private?" Yun Fenghuang said slowly, "Regardless of which kind, the Queen’s recent days have been too leisurely. child."
Chen Jing quickly pleaded guilty: "It's the servants who are not doing things well."
"Although I will pack my things and go to the palace soon, but every year, I think Yanfu Palace will be able to handle it completely." Yun Fenghuang confessed quietly, "The empress empress has become more and more silent in recent years, which is very bad. I still find her. Do these things so that there will be no news all day long, as if my palace is in control of the harem and she is not allowed to speak!"
She said so, of course the people below did not dare to neglect, so within two days, she caught a handle of Zhonggong, that is, Gu Jingtong ridiculed and teased the King of Chu in private.
This Gu Jing is one of the queen’s niece, but after the emperor received the ten princes and twelve princes personally instructed by the Taichu Palace, Gu Zhen asked for the two maiden nieces to be brought into the palace for nurturing under the excuse of being very lonely. Consolation.
Since the imperial concubine Yun Fenghuang raised her niece early in the morning, Chunjia had just calmed down a series of disturbances caused by the death of Long Pinghou. In the face of this matter, although he knew that Gu Zhen was an excuse, in fact, he just wanted to be ten. The prince and the twelve princes cultivated future candidates for the back house, but they also agreed.
The two girls selected by the Gu family at that time were Gu Jing and Gu Jue's sisters.
auzw.comAccording to Xuanqing Palace’s understanding, Gu Jing-zi is lively and cheerful, with upright and beautiful appearance. He also has experience in painting and calligraphy of piano, chess, and flattery. He has always been better than his cousin Gu. Jue had to be more fond of Gu Zhen.
Because the sisters are about the same age as the ten princes, the queen deliberately asked Gu Jing to be a side concubine for the ten princes later, often guiding her to communicate with the ten princes.
Almost every time the ten princes went to Yanfu Palace to greet the queen, Gu Zhen would arrange for Gu Jing to be on his side.
This approach still has some effect. The ten princes gradually became acquainted with Gu Jing, and even when they went out of the palace a few times and brought some gadgets to Gu Zhen, they did not forget to bring Gu Jing and Gu Jue.
Although this action seems to be just a polite act, according to the reports from the people, what the ten princes gave Gu Jue was just to send the palace people to buy things from the vendors at will, but the ones who gave Gu Jing were carefully selected in the store. It can be seen.
At the same time, whenever Gu Zhen sees Chunjia, consciously or unconsciously, he will also tell about Gu Jing's various advantages, hoping that Chunjia will agree to this girl to serve the ten princes in the future.
These Yunfenghuang masters and servants were all watching, and it happened suddenly at this moment. It was aimed at Gu Zhen and cultivated Gu Jing for these years. Not only the queen herself, but the Gu family, also had high hopes for Gu Jing.
"Your Majesty, my concubine originally didn't want to take care of this matter. After all, His Royal Highness Chu landed and was raised by the Empress Empress. As the Empress said herself, His Royal Highness Chu is no different from the Empress Empress's own son." Yun Fenghuang After getting the handle, first let people preach to the palace, and then went out in person, and said with the emperor, "This niece can kiss a son? Now Gu Jing dare to tease and laugh at the King of Chu in private, and even persecute him. His Royal Highness Chu ate the food that was overturned! Where is the imperial bloodline?! The concubine doesn't believe that the dignified daughter of the Gu family has no sense of measure. Who gave her the courage?! Or, the queen mother kept saying that His Royal Highness King Chu is her own son, and that's how she treated her own son?"
"Fortunately, the ten princes and the twelve princes asked your majesty to raise him personally in the morning, otherwise, I don't know how to be treated by the empress!"
Chunjia's face was ugly. He actually knew in his heart that Gu Jing teased the King of Chu. Eight achievements were stabbed by the imperial concubine.
However, the imperial concubine knew his temper, and since he used Emperor Hei as a maneuver, most of the things Gu Jing did sorry to the King of Chu.
"Xuanzhong Palace." The emperor said in a cold voice, "and the Gu family's daughter will be brought here!"
The Queen’s aunts and nephews have actually received the news, but they are not quick-witted people. In addition, the imperial concubine is well prepared. The evidence is conclusive. The emperor is not good at it. Under cross-examination, Gu Jing couldn’t argue with each other and had to explain. Indeed, I once teased King Chu one or two: "But the court ladies decided not to force His Royal Highness to eat the meal that was overturned on the ground. That meal... that meal... That meal is actually just..." She choked and glanced. The queen choked and continued, "The meal was actually overturned carelessly. The courtier thought that someone would clean it up, but before he had time, His Royal Highness... went up to eat it by herself... Later... the courtier... Later, someone specially asked for an imperial doctor..."
"Bastard!" Gu Zhen's eyes suddenly sank when she was finished. She didn't wait for her to finish. His backhand was just a slap in the face. Gu Jing stopped and shouted sternly, "My palace said you did a good job that time. Why should I get a doctor!? The co-author is bullying my son!"
The chief attendant, Yun Fenghuang, who was standing next to Chunjia curled his lips, and said in a manly voice, "Why is the empress woman like this? Your Majesty is observing Qiuhao, you want to get through with this hand, but you can't!"
Turning to Gu Jing as he said, "You are a courtier, even if you are favored by the empress empress, you are nothing more than a guest in the palace. It is not a serious master! But where is the qualification to pass the empress empress, Ask the royal doctor for His Royal Highness King Chu?"
"Your Majesty, concubine..." What the queen is waiting to say, but Chunjia has no patience. Just as the imperial concubine said, he is not stupid. When it comes to this, where does he have no idea?
Obviously the queen knew about Gu Jing teasing the king of Chu.
The imperial doctor was mostly called by the queen to the king of Chu.
So it can be seen that the queen is not completely indifferent to the king of Chu. It's just that this son had something early after all. Over the years, with the appearance of the tenth prince and the twelfth prince, the empress's concern and attention have shifted. At first, out of guilt and pity, he still remembered the king of Chu. But as the ten princes and the twelfth princes became more and more important, the queen couldn't take care of it.
Even if it was Gu Jing's identity, after playing tricks on King Chu, the queen didn't think about Gu Jing, but called an imperial doctor to Chu King to confirm that the child was not in serious trouble.
The empress’s move is actually human nature. After all, although Gu Jing was not raised by her, she is a girl with both talents and good looks. She has been raised in the palace for two years and has a good relationship with the ten princes. How can she be because of one now? It's worthless, but the king of Chu, who was raised like a waste, was lost?
"I remember that you were in utter grief because of the Chu King's accident. For many years, you talked about it." Chunjia looked at the queen, her eyes full of disappointment, "Every time I miss you for a loving mother. I don’t care about my heart. Now it’s only a few years since you mentioned the grievances of the King of Chu and your grievances last time? Your niece, a courtier who came from the palace halfway, can actually regard my blood as Like a pig and a dog?!"
"And you, the middle palace, you know clearly, but you don't mention it, and you hide it?!"
"That's how you are the mother of these many emperor heirs?!"
"The king of Chu was raised by you just after he landed anyway, and he was so despised by you, so how do you treat the many other heirs!?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jing knelt down with a "plop", shaking like chaff.
Yun Fenghuang looked at her playfully, and he was very clear in his heart that even though the emperor was all going to the queen, he just cursed a few words and wouldn't take the queen anymore.
But this Gu Jing, the future is definitely over.
After all, Chunjia usually doesn't care about his heirs. As the emperor, how can he tolerate his blood, even if it is a foolish heir who has long been abandoned, and was humiliated by a foreign minister's daughter?
He didn't give Gu Jing to death, it was considered to be tolerant!
