"Girl, late at night, go to sleep." Bao Mei red walked to Sima Xiang's eyes and put her cloak on her. She turned her head to look at the gorgeous fireworks outside the window. She didn't dare to look at it again. "It's cold at night, shall we close the window?"
"The fireworks are burning for almost an hour," she sneered sarcastically. "Don't you all say that your majesty is diligent and frugal, and never work for the people?"
She put her hands on the window mullions and looked up at the sparks in the dark night: "Aren't these fireworks hurting the people?"
Baomei bowed her head and dared not speak. She was a little maidservant. She dared to comment on the affairs of the royal family. She also knew that her girl ’s heart was miserable, so she could only listen in silence.
Sima Xiang has been standing in front of the window, watching the blossoming fireworks bloom and turning into darkness, until the child's day, this noisy fireworks overnight finally returned to darkness.
She moved her cold feet to the edge of the bed and heard a scream from the front courtyard. She walked to the table and sat down suddenly. She suddenly stood up and swept the tea set on the table to the ground. , The porcelain shattered to the ground, and the sound of shattering was particularly harsh in the night.
"Girl." Baomei worriedly wanted to step forward, but she was stopped.
"Go out!" Sima Xiang snapped, "Don't bother me."
"I ..." Baomei saw the messy ground, and was a little worried in her heart, but when she saw the girl's complexion, she had to slowly withdraw from the house and carefully kept in the outer space.
But what surprised her was that until the middle of the night, there was no sound from the house. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep outside.
Early the next morning, she was awakened by the screams of the main court. She couldn't even put on her shoes and hurried into the inner room. When she saw that the girl was still asleep in bed, she felt relieved.
She was about to withdraw quietly, and the cry of the sky from the main court came.
"Girl, girl," she realized that something was wrong, and she stepped forward to wake up Sima Xiang, who was still asleep. "Girl, there seems to be something wrong with the main court."
"What are you talking about?" Sima Xiang slammed herself up with her hands, but it might be that she stood by the window for too long last night, and her arms were weak.
Baomei hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and then asked the rough-eyed girl who was waiting outside to come in and wait for the girl to wash.
Before Sima Xiang's clothes were put on, a maid came running hurriedly, before speaking, and kneeled down with a puff: "Girl, my wife is gone."
"What are you talking about?" Sima Xiang finally couldn't stand, and she was paralyzed on the ground. She stared blankly at the mother who had passed the message. "It was fine last night, how could it be ..."
"Mrs .... Mrs. Committed suicide by cutting the veins." The rumbling mammy's chubby body shook like sieve, apparently shocking at the scene she saw.
Baomei turned to look at the pale girl, only to feel that the sky was about to collapse.
"Help me to see," Sima Xiangqiang stood up with a vigorous effort, pushed away Baomei who wanted to help her, and stumbled away.
"Girl, your shoes ..." Bao Mei saw that the girl was still wearing a pair of soft-soled shoes that she only wore in the room. She hurried back to the inner room, opened the shoe cabinet, turned over a pair of plain cotton shoes and came out. .
"Sister Baomei." The maid in charge of Sima Xiang's shoes and socks saw her come and go in a hurry, lowering her head and tidying up the cabinet that Baomei was rummaging for. After finishing it, she frowned suspiciously.
Which pair of shoes did Baomei's sister only get? Although the pair of shoes that the girl usually wears is good, but the color is more gorgeous, the girl may not be suitable to wear at this moment?
Mrs. Sanfang, the Sima family, has been a little sober since her son was decapitated, but who will control this kind of famous but unauthorized family?
It was just that someone sighed after the rest of the tea with a pitiful, seemingly lively tone. The girl in their family looked beautiful, but the mother and the elder brother in the family were delayed.
Now, Mrs. Sima's third wife committed suicide, but her life was not good. She was on the second day of the emperor's wedding, so Sima Yue didn't even send her obituary to other people.
And the most important point is that the third wife committed suicide. In this case, whether to be buried in the tomb of Sima Jiazu needs to be discussed together with the second room of the big house.
The Sima family made this matter very tight and did not disclose the slightest noise. At this time, the attention of the whole capital is on the emperor's wedding. Who will really care about whether someone in their family has died or an accident has occurred.
The second day of the wedding was the day when the wives of the civil and military officials formally paid their respects to the queen. This morning, although Gu Rujiu was severely sleep deprived and had some waist and leg weakness, he still had to climb out of the bed with difficulty.
"It's so sleepy." She took the towel, which was handed over by the maiden, still blowing steam, and covered her face so that she could wake up.
Seeing her like this, Jin Yang regretted that he had been tossing a little late last night, so he walked to Gu Rujiu's side and pressed her temples gently for her, "Are you better?"
Gu Rujiu took off the towel placed on his face, and then rubbed it on his face, whispered: "Your Majesty, there are others beside me."
"These people are common people around me, don't worry," Jin Yang was covered in a towel and was not angry. Instead, he looked at Gu Rujiu's white and tender face cheerfully, then took another towel and wiped his hand for Gu Rujiu. , "Whether you and my husband enjoy the joy of others,"
Gu Rujiu felt that his thoughts were not open enough.
The two empresses put on formal court clothes, and then when Gu Rujiu was dressing up, Jin Marting came together again.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard a word?" Gu Rujiu painted a golden phoenix tail on his forehead and glanced at Jin Marting with a serious expression.
"What?" Jin Yang asked without blinking.
"That's when a woman puts on makeup, men don't watch around at will." Gu Rujiu put down the pen, and then took a cut eyebrow from the box, and she noticed that Jin Yang's eyes were about to shine.
She slowly brushed her eyebrows for herself, and put down Meidai before saying: "Your Majesty?"
"I just looked at how you raised your eyebrows," Jin Yang uncomfortably coughed. "These words don't often say that the husband and wife have deep feelings in this biography. Does the husband paint his wife's eyebrows for a lifetime?"
Gu Rujiu held out his hand to hold the mouth grease.
"Your eyebrows are so beautiful, I don't know how to paint. I worry that the more I draw, the uglier I will be." When he exposed himself that he wouldn't even draw eyebrows, Jin Yang looked a little embarrassed. , How did you draw. "
Gu Rujiu saw himself smiling in the mirror.
"It's okay, you won't be able to practice slowly," Gu Rujiu turned his head to look at the martingale standing next to him. "From tomorrow, your majesty can try to paint me first, so I can practice my hands."
"Will that be a bad painting," Jin Yang was quite excited, but he looked at his long beautiful willow-eyebrows, and he felt a little dazed, what if he was painted as an earthworm?
"It's okay, I won't dislike His Majesty." Gu Rujiu smiled, "Because I understand His Majesty's intentions."
Impressed by the long-standing understanding, Jin Yang decided to take the time to practice on the paper today, and strive not to be too embarrassing tomorrow.
The sweet appearance of the husband and wife looked at the court ladies who were waiting around and blushed, and they bowed their heads and dared not look at it again.
Finally Gu Rujiu let Jin Yang move his hand, that is, let him give himself the nails on his two fingers.
Although it wasn't dyed very well, Jin Yang still had a sense of accomplishment when he looked at his long white fingers with red nails.
He Ming and Bai Xian, next to each other, looked blankly like a majesty who found a favorite toy. The two looked at each other, and they both saw some helplessness from each other's eyes.
In the palace of Suzaku, the hundred officials have been fixed according to the rank of the knight, and the same is true for the woman. The men are left and the women are all according to the quality of makeup, and they dare not be sloppy.
It's no wonder that everyone is so grand. Today is the first time that the queen officially appeared to accept the pilgrimage. It means a lot. Who wants to be singled out in the etiquette.
"Master Sima's face today is even uglier than yesterday," Li Guangji stood side by side with Sima Hong. With respect to the elderly of his generation, Li Guangji upholds the good style of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and took the initiative to step forward. Concerned about greetings, "Did you not sleep well last night?"
"After Your Majesty finally stood, the old man was very happy in his heart, and excitedly, it was inevitable that he didn't sleep well enough," Sima Hong turned his head and glanced at Li Guangji. "I'm fine if I'm worried."
"It's all right, it's all right," Li Guangji said with a smile. "A good minister like Lord Sima who is loyal to the country, don't make any mistakes, otherwise your majesty has to worry."
Sima Hong shivered slightly when he heard this, and looked at Li Guangji expressionlessly, not understanding what he meant.
Did Li Guangji already know what happened in Sanfang?
Although Sima Hong couldn't make up his mind, he saw a smile on Li Guangji's Youzao, and said with a smile on his face, he said: "each other, each other."
Standing next to the two, Zhang Zhonghan lowered his head and looked silently at the tip of his shoe, as if he heard nothing.
"Boom, boom, boom ..."
Drumming knocked nine times, all the ministers turned around, facing the middle of the hall, then stepped back and bowed to meet.
"Welcome the emperor, welcome the queen."
At this time, no one looked up. The minister in the center of the hall could only see that the vermilion-golden palace dress skirt passed by, and on the skirt, a golden phoenix roamed in the auspicious clouds.
"Zhongqing is exempt from courtesy." Jin Yang and Gu Rujiu stood together on the high platform, and they sat down after the ministers straightened up.
The Phoenix seat is added next to the dragon chair. Even if it is still high, it is more popular than before.
It was the royal family members who first came to salute Gu Rujiu. When they bowed, Gu Rujiu stood up and nodded slightly towards them.
After the members of the royal family, it was San Gong Jiu Qing, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. County, Gu Rujiu nodded their salutes one by one, and the smile on their faces was so perfect that they couldn't pick out any faults.
Although the number of people who could come to Suzaku Hall to worship in person was limited, Gu Rujiu felt that her head was sour when her group's courtesy came. She waited until everyone's courtesy was over before she supported the female officer's hand. Sit back on the Phoenix seat.
Jin Yang turned to smile at her, and then an official stood out holding a jade shaft imperial edict, and then read the edict of Feng Gu Changling as Zhongning Gong.
Subsequently, three sacred decrees were issued, all of which were intended to enclose the family of the Queen Mother.
Zhongninggong's wife was named as Ningguo's wife, Zhongninggong's second son Fengxianghou, and Zhongninggong's eldest daughter Fengxiangjun.
When the hundred officials formally worshipped, in front of the civil and military officials, the queen's family members were lavishly praised. The royal family simply gave the queen's face.
What kind of honor is this?
The civil and military officials listened to the enactment of the imperial edict, and they were envious and jealous in their hearts, but it was a pity that who made their family without a good daughter who let the royal family take their eyes, could not be the prince of the whole family.
Thinking of Zhongninggong's current post as Shang Shuling, the hundred officials couldn't help but think, this is a harbinger of the Gu family's claim to power.
Just when everyone thought that Gu's limelight was coming out this time, how could Gu Changling know that in the afternoon, he gave His Majesty his resignation.
This act was handed over, and it was spread to many ears and ears in the ears of the family before the evening.
"Gu Changling is really an old fox," Li Guangji couldn't help feeling after knowing this. Even if he encountered this situation, he might not be as determined as Gu Changling.
A strong man with a broken wrist cannot be done by anyone.
But he knew that Gu Changling's approach was the smartest. Now that the Gu family has a queen, and the whole family is a knight, it is simply a cluster of flowers and endless scenery.
However, as a courtier, the most challenging thing is the emperor's suspicion. Now His Majesty believes in the Gu family and respects the Queen, but this does not mean that His Majesty will not be suspicious in the future, nor will he abandon the Queen. At that time, the scenery of Gu's family was the thorn in his majesty's eyes. Gu's right was also wrong. What was wrong was still wrong. Not to mention the scenery, I was afraid that even the glory of the past could not be protected.
But now Gu Changling resigns decisively, regardless of whether His Majesty will allow it or not, at least this move will leave a very interesting impression of Gu's family in His Majesty's heart.
Which emperor does not like obedient and wise courtiers?
His Majesty is still young, and when he is middle-aged and he is suspicious, this is the best emotional card for Gu.
"It was a pity that I didn't ask you to marry a Gu girl," Li Guangji said to his son. "It's a great help for you to have such a smart and familiar Yue family."
"Father, you laughed." Li Huaigu lowered his head and said, "It's just an old thing, not worth mentioning." Now that he has been married to the girl of the Shen family, those past should be left behind.
Today, as long as he thinks about it, he will remember what his sister looked like when she fell down. Young Moai's thoughts have long been worn away by time.
Li Guangji looked at his son with no fluctuations in expression, and sighed: "Up to now, some fathers have made you and the Shen family girl kissed."
The girl of Sima's big house married the son of Shen's family, and his son was about to marry the girl of the family of Shen, and the family of Shen was planning to move into Beijing. There was no other thought in it. Fortunately, if there are other things, they are inevitable. The Li family also has to be implicated.
Dafeng Dynasty had several princesses who were caught in the struggle for the throne, and now only the princess Deyi is the only princess in the Manchu Dynasty. The princess has no other thoughts over the years, but who knows whether she I really have no thoughts.
"Please be assured that your son will not let that happen." Li Huaigu said after a moment of silence. "Marrying our Li family is the person of our Li family. The Shen family should have nothing to do with her."
Li Huaigu nodded: "You can think like this."
Outside the study room, the Li Wu family listened to the conversation between the father and son, turned back expressionlessly, and walked to their yard.
In the eyes of the men of the Li family, why did women need their own ideas? Women are nothing more than tools for continuation of their heirs. Even themselves, they are nothing more than clay figurines that sustain the prosperity of the family.
She stood in this luxurious mansion, but felt that there was silence, like a grave.
In the palace of Zichen, Gu Rujiu removed the hairpin ring. After bathing, he saw that Jin Yang had come back from Yushu Study, but his face didn't look good. He asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
When Jin Yang saw her coming, her hair was still wet, and she took her to sit beside him, and then wiped her hair with a dry veil, "Master Taishan, gave me a twist."
"Huh." Gu Rujiu nodded, casually took a biography from the side and opened it in his hand, then looked up at him, "My father did something that upset you?"
"No," Jin Yang shook his head. "Master Taishan asked me to resign."
"What?" Gu Rujiu raised his voice and tossed the biography in his hand. "My father did he really do this?"
Jin Yang nodded in silence.
Gu Rujiu froze for a moment, and then smiled: "Your Majesty, you can blame you on this matter."
"I blame me?" Jin Marting looked at Gu Rujiu in a puzzled manner. "Did I displease Master Taishan?"
"No, you are too kind to your father," Gu Rujiu explained. "I remember hearing from my mother when I was a child. My father's hobby is writing and painting, and he is not interested in officialdom. But our Gu family is thin, if the father is not , Then how can the family continue to prosper. "
Speaking of which, Gu Rujiu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The family of our Gu family is also a family for hundreds of years. The ancestors revived the glory of the family a hundred years ago. The purpose is to give my maiden a knighthood, so that the Gu family is full of glory, and his father has no worries about it. Where else would he want to be an official in the DPRK. "
Jin Yang thought of Gu Changling's hand that made countless people amazing, and he was reluctant to say: "But Master Taishan is full of talent, and he is so unwilling to let him do this."
"Then you try to keep my father," Gu Rujiu continued to hold the biography in his hands, and turned the cover page, "Although I think you are unlikely to leave him."
Seeing his own queen like this, Jin Yang could n’t help but feel discouraged. As a queen, she did n’t do well for her family ’s welfare. He also explained the reasons why Master Taishan became an official in the DPRK. He really did n’t know that he should trust him for a long time Heart is too low.
But for whatever reason, in the face of Gu Rujiu's candid attitude, a small heart of Jin Marting was warm, like drinking a pot of hot tea.
In the next few days, Jin Yang has been trying his best to retain Gu Changling, but unfortunately Gu Changling ’s heart for longing for his career is too strong. It's not too good, so in order not to delay work, I had to resign.
Seeing that he didn't have a good place to talk about his whole body, Jin Yang finally was shocked by his determination to give Shi, and finally he could only gritt his teeth on the 12th Dao of Gu Changling's request for Zhi Shi.
After the dynasty, Jin Marting had some little grievances in his heart and returned to the Zichen Hall. How could he know that he did not see the Queen, suddenly turned his head and asked Bai Xian: "How about the Queen Mother?"
"Your Majesty, three days later, the Queen Mother is moving to Luanhe Palace, so the Queen Mother has moved to Luanhe Palace."
"Why didn't anyone tell me such an important thing?" Jin Yang lowered his face, thinking that it was the people in the palace who made the decision without permission, making Gu Rujiu aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, isn't this ... Did you agree with the court before the wedding?" He Ming whispered next to him, "The slaves thought you knew, so they didn't report to you."
"The rules are dead, the people are alive, the queen is going, why don't you know it's stopped," Jin Yang put his hands behind his back, "not to mention the rules, after the newlyweds get married, they can't easily move their residence within 100 days, Otherwise, it may hinder the relationship between husband and wife. "
He Ming and Bai Xian are all in the same heart. At first, it was you who said that the newlyweds could not get the husband ’s room wrong, but now you said that it was you who moved inappropriately in a hundred days. Why do n’t you? Directly say, can't bear the queen to move out?
Despite the mad talk in my heart, the two of them still said with a serious face: "Your Majesty makes sense, and the people in the rites are not thoughtful."
"Since that is the case, I still take the Queen Mother back," Jin Yang turned around and walked outside the hall. "Luan and Gong have just been renovated, and the smell of the paint inside may still be choking."
Oh, your majesty's "just" in your mouth, is the standard time limit more than one year?
Bai Gonggong and He Gonggong, the two imperial eunuchs, had already unconsciously practiced the abdominal defamation skills to the highest level.
Entering Luanhe Palace again, Gu Rujiu found that it was more elaborate than when she saw it last time, and also added a lot of decoration objects, all of which were painted with auspicious patterns, and almost all became doubles. Correct.
She walked to the yard, which was already full of court eunuchs who were in Luan and Gong. The two men and two women who stood at the front were more gorgeous and elegant than the others behind them. They seemed to be the stewards of Luan and Gong. .
As the new owner of Luanhe Palace, according to the rules, she should carry out the plan of "Leadership Speech", but the arrival of Jin Yang made the plan aborted.
Seeing Jin Yang's hurried footsteps, Gu Rujiu swallowed if he had reached the tip of his throat, and walked in front of Jin Yang in the voice of an eunuch's court lady, and blessed him slightly: "Your Majesty."
"Have you been here to watch the palace for a long time?" Jin Yang held Gu Rujiu's wrist without letting her go.
Gu Rujiu raised her eyebrows. Wasn't it the day when she officially stayed in Luanhe Palace?
