Chapter 124: Show off

After eating the banquet and sending off the guests, Gu Jiu and the others stayed and lived in Houfu these days.
Xie's was not at ease, so he had to exhort a few more words.
Especially exhorting Gu Yue.
"If you live in the Hou Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Hou Mansion. Don't make a fuss about everything. If you are unsure about something, just ask your fourth sister or some elders."
Gu Shan lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Don't worry, mother, I will abide by the rules and I won't mess around."
How could Xie really feel relieved.
She turned around one step at a time, fearing that Gu Yue would offend everyone by making an unforgivable mistake in the Hou Mansion.
The eldest wife, Zhang, persuaded, "Brothers and sisters, here are children and grandchildren. You can’t take care of your children for a lifetime. You have to let go when you should let go. Several children have reached the age of talking to each other. It’s useless to worry if you are still ignorant at this age."
Xie's shut up and said nothing, she and Zhang had nothing to say about this matter.
The eldest wife Zhang raised her eyebrows and smiled. Forget it, she didn't bother to talk nonsense.
She called Gu Jun to her front, "Have fun in the Hou Mansion. If you don't understand, just ask your sisters."
"I listen to my mother."
After sending off the Xie family and Zhang family, the girl from the Hou Mansion led Gu Jiu and them to settle.
Gu Jiu lives in the same courtyard with Gu Mei.
"Sister Xiao Jiu, can you sleep with me at night? It just so happens that we can talk."
"As long as Sister Mei doesn't dislike me sleeping noisily."
Gu Jiu said with a smile.
Gu Mei said, "I'm afraid you will dislike me for being noisy. The maids say that I don't sleep well."
Gu Jiu laughed, "My sleeping face is not very good either."
"That's a coincidence, we two happened to get together."
As soon as Gu Jiu settled down, and wanted to ask Gu Mei what he had for fun, a maid came in from outside.
"Big girl, it's okay. The second girl is so sad that she is crying, please go and comfort her."
Gu Mei's expression changed, "Does Sister Qi cry very hard?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, "The second lady can't persuade me no matter what. Big girl, go and see."
"I'm going now."
"Sister Mei, I'll go with you." Gu Jiu said.
Gu Mei nodded, "Sister Xiao Jiu comes with me."
Gu Jiu followed Gu Mei to the courtyard where Gu Qi lived next door.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Gu Qi crying.
Gu Mei worried about Gu Qi, and walked into the room in two steps in three steps. Gu Jiu followed behind her.
"Sister Qi, are you okay?"
Gu Qi was lying on the bed and crying. Hearing the movement, she raised her head and glanced, and then cried again.
The second wife Wang sighed again and again, "Girl Mei, you and Qi'er have a good relationship, please persuade her quickly."
"Second aunt, what's wrong with sister Qi?" Gu Mei asked.
The second wife Wang sighed, "It's not because Zhao Wangfu wants to marry Qi'er, Qi'er is not willing."
Wang's natal family, and Zhao's uncle, that is, Xue Guifei's natal Xue family, are relatives not far away.
However, as the controversy over seizure intensified, the Wang family, Zhao Wangfu, and Xue family were left with only face.
At this time, anyone who has the foresight will not take the initiative to join the controversy.
You know, the one sitting on the dragon chair is not a merciful lord. Randomly ransack the family.
It's better for everyone to stay on track.
But in this world, it’s not that you want to keep yourself safe, others will allow you to keep yourself safe. Someone will force you to lower your bottom line again and again, and compromise again and again.
This time, Zhao Wangfu went to Pingnanhoufu.
It's not that Gu Qi doesn't love wealth, but wealth must also be enjoyed by life.
She doesn't have anyone she likes, but she never thought about marrying Prince Wangfu.
She cried because she felt wronged, not respected, and felt that she was hurt. In addition, she was a little bit resistant to marrying to the palace in her heart.
The palace has rules. In addition to the princes and concubines in the palace, there is also a big Buddha in the palace.
Gu Qi was scared when he thought of marrying into the palace and having to endure one kind of pressure.
What's more frightening is that if the seizure fails, Zhao Wangfu will definitely be liquidated.
The more Gu Qi cried, the more frightened, the more she cried, the more sad she became.
She rushed to the second wife, Wang, and said, "Mother, can you figure out a way for me? I don't want to marry to the palace. You can find someone for me. Anyway, I don't want to marry to the palace."
The second wife Wang sighed, "I'm not counting this matter."
"What to do then? Does the mother bear the heart and watch her daughter marry to the cannibalistic place in the palace?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"My daughter is not talking nonsense. The palace is really so good, why the noble families in the capital are not willing to marry their daughters to the palace."
The second lady Wang didn't know how to persuade Gu Qi, but smiled bitterly.
Gu Mei took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears for Gu Qi, "Sister Qi, don't cry in a hurry, you can think of ways. Old Hou Ye, old lady, my father and second uncle will think of ways for you. No one will watch you marry to the palace."
Gu Qi sobbed twice, "Thank you, eldest sister, for comfort. I am afraid it will not be so easy to refuse the marriage of Prince Zhao Mansion."
After speaking, Gu Qi cried again.
Gu Jiu remained silent.
The Zhao Wangfu wanted to marry Gu Qi, nothing more than to win over the Houfu and add a helping hand.
Then, although Hou Mansion was on the side of the anti-prince, it did not mean that Hou Mansion was willing to be in-laws with Zhao Wangfu.
If the Prince Zhao’s Mansion adopted a tough attitude, saying that you must marry if you marry, and you must marry if you don’t, then this matter will be serious.
Conventional methods are impossible to dispel the idea of ​​Prince Zhao's marriage.
Therefore, we can only use unconventional means to enter the palace and start from the harem.
Through the harem cloud to influence the decision of Zhao Wangfu.
Gu Jiu asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone in the palace in the Hou Mansion?"
The second wife, Wang Shi, shook her head slightly, "Before there were people, but since that person passed away, now our Hou Mansion has nothing to say in the harem."
"Maybe there is another way."
Gu Jiu said softly.
Gu Qi suddenly sat up from the bed, "Sister Xiao Jiu, do you have a way?"
Everyone looked at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu deliberately said: "I have an immature idea. Because I don't understand the situation in the palace, my method may not be feasible."
The second wife Wang said: "You don't need to worry about these, you first tell your method. Whether it will work or not, we will consider it."
Gu Jiu nodded, "My thought is that Zhao Wangfu wants to marry sister Qi and win over the Houfu. The people who are the least happy to see this happen are actually the empresses in the palace besides the Houfu.
If the thoughts of the Hou Mansion can be passed on to the Empress Empress, I think the Empress Empress should have a way to get the Zhao Palace to dispel this marriage. "
Gu Jiu's confidence in the queen comes from her supporting her weak son to the position of prince, and for so many years to keep her position as prince.
Everyone said that as long as the queen is alive for one day, the prince's position will be as stable as a rock.
It can be seen how powerful the queen's influence on the court and the emperor is.
Based on these two things alone, we can see that the queen is a very strategic person.
If she intervenes in this marriage, in all likelihood, Zhao Wangfu's plan will fall to nothing.
Gu Qi stared at the second wife Wang Clan, "Mother, is the solution Xiao Jiu's sister said is feasible?"
The second wife Wang frowned, "This matter has to be discussed in the long term."
Gu Jiu knew what Wang was worried about.
She said: "Cooperating with the Empress Empress is a double-edged sword for the Hou Mansion. The most worrying thing is that the Empress Empress will use this matter to intimidate the Hou Mansion and let Hou Mansion stand on the side of the Prince and become a party of the Prince. pawn."
The second wife Wang nodded again and again, "Xiao Jiu is right, I'm just worried about this."
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "If you are a taboo, if the empress's empress lives for a hundred years, this matter is indeed a big hidden worry. If you are not careful, the Hou Mansion will fall into a situation where it will never be restored.
Then, everyone knew that the Queen Empress’ days were running out. At this time, cooperating with the Empress Empress, the Hou Mansion actually has a lot of leeway, which can be said to be easy to advance and retreat. "
Huh?
Everyone looked puzzled.
"Xiao Jiu, don't betray you, talk to us quickly."
Gu Jiu asked, "Second cousin, what do you think the empress is most worried about now?"
The second wife, Wang, was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, "The queen empress now is most worried about the safety of the prince after she has gone. There is also the cadre of Weiyang Palace, who was cultivated by her heart. , Lost in vain, everyone feels distressed."
"If the Hou Mansion promises the Empress Empress, she will do something for her. Second cousin, guess, will the Empress Empress be willing to cooperate with the Hou Mansion to abolish the marriage plan of Prince Zhao Mansion?"
There was light in Gu Jiu's eyes, a light called excitement.
The second wife Wang asked nervously: "What can we do for the queen mother?"
"Hou Mansion can help the empresses in many places. For example, to protect the Xue family, such as the protection of the members of Weiyang Palace, etc., such as the safety of the prince in one year."
"This, is it possible?" The second lady Wang was a little confused, "The Hou Mansion doesn't have that much energy."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Aunt Er Tang, whether the Hou Mansion has such a big energy, it is up to the Lord Hou to have the final say."
The second lady Wang frowned.
Gu Qi looked at Gu Jiu, but she forgot to cry.
Gu Mei asked Gu Jiu in a whisper, "Sister Xiao Jiu, are these things you said reliable? You listened to others, or you thought about them."
Gu Jiu replied in a low voice: "What I said are my own thoughts. Let me just say it, you don't have to take it seriously."
Gu Mei smiled bitterly, "At this time, Sister Xiao Jiu is still joking. How could we not take such a big thing seriously. Even if we listened to it for the first time, those words of yours also came into our hearts. Drop."
Gu Qi nodded repeatedly.
The second wife Wang said: "This matter is very important. I have to discuss with the old lady Laohou. Qi'er, don't worry, no one can tell what will happen until the end. Mei girl, Xiao Jiu , You two stay with Qier more."
"Second aunt, go ahead, sister Qi has me here, don't worry."
The second wife Wang hurried away.
Gu Qi then asked Gu Jiu, "Sister Xiao Jiu, will the method you mentioned work? I really don't have to marry Prince Zhao?"
Gu Jiu said: "The matter is man-made. But in order to avoid retaliation by the Zhao Palace, after the matter is resolved, it is best for Sister Qi to make an early marriage and get married as soon as possible."
Gu Qi said, "But in such a short time, where can I find a suitable marriage."
Gu Mei comforted her: "Sister Qi, don't worry. With the old lady here, your marriage will be resolved soon."
"Thank you Sister Mei. Sister Xiaojiu, you are amazing. You figured out a solution for such a difficult thing in a few words. How did your little head grow?"
Gu Qi will recover now, so she is thinking about joking.
Gu Jiu said, "My little head, of course it is for eating."
"Haha..."
Everyone laughed.
Gu Qi finally laughed, and Gu Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When it got late, Gu Jiu and Gu Mei bid farewell to Gu Qi and returned to the room.
After washing up, I planned to rest after reading a book, but the old lady next to her found her.
"Is Miss Xiao Jiu here?"
"Is it Mother Yu? Come in, please."
Sister Yu entered the room, saluted the two girls, and then said: "The old lady sent the servants to take a look. If Miss Xiao Jiu is not asleep, go to Songhetang to talk."
Gu Jiu was puzzled and vaguely guessed something.
Gu Mei asked hurriedly: "It's so late, and the old lady asked Sister Xiao Jiu to talk over. Sister Yu, did something happen?"
"The slave and maid didn't know exactly what the matter was. The slave was just in accordance with the old lady's order and asked Miss Xiao Jiu to come over and speak."
Gu Mei worried.
Gu Jiu said to her, "Sister Mei, don't worry. I think it should be sister Qi."
"Then I will go with you."
Gu Jiu nodded.
The two sisters followed Mother Yu to Songhetang.
The main hall of Songhetang was already full of people.
Old lady, Lord Hou.
Master, madam.
Second master, second lady.
Gu Jiu stepped forward and saluted.
"Don't be too polite, Xiao Jiu, Mai Mai, you all sit down."
Lord Hou is a very energetic old man, with a pair of eyes to see through the world.
He looked at Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, the old man has heard what you said to your second cousin aunt before. Your thoughts are amazing."
Gu Jiu said hurriedly: "Old Hou Lord is absurd, I just talk casually."
"Talking about it can alarm the whole family, if you talk about it seriously, it's even more serious."
Old Master Hou laughed, very hearty. It also dilutes Gu Jiu's inner tension.
After laughing, Lord Hou stroked his beard and said: "The Queen Empress is not an easy master. Work with her and be careful to be peeled off by her. But Xiao Jiu's idea is right. Please ask the queen to face Fu Xue. Noble concubine and Zhao Wangfu, this is the best way."
The second master, Gu Zhiwu, looked at Old Hou Ye, "Father, I am reluctant to marry Qi'er to the Zhao Palace. But if I sacrifice the entire Hou Palace, the marriage can be terminated. I would rather marry Qi'er to the Zhao Palace.
The old man waved his hand, "Second, don't worry. The empress is really not easy to mess with, but as Xiao Jiu said, the empress will not live long. The news from the palace is possible at any time. Departure. This is also a good thing for our Hou Mansion."
The elder Gu Zhiwen asked: "Is my father really going to take Xiao Jiu's opinion and cooperate with the empress? But in this way, we are not tied to the prince. It will be difficult to get away in the future."
Master Hou laughed, he pointed to Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, tell everyone about your ideas."
Gu Jiu was nervous.
She took a deep breath, settled, and then said: "My idea is that the Hou Mansion is cooperating with the empress, not the prince."
"What's the difference? The queen's interests are the prince's interests." the second master Gu Zhiwu asked.
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, "I don't agree with what Uncle Er Tang said. In my opinion, the queen and the prince are essentially different.
No mother can fully represent the son of an adult. Not even the queen.
The cooperation between the Hou Mansion and the queen does not mean that it has to cooperate with the prince. The queen is the queen, the prince is the prince, they are different. "
"How is it different?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Weiyang Palace and Donggong are two completely different groups of people. Old Master, is there really no contradiction between the people in Weiyang Palace and Donggong? Are they really close together?"
Master Hou laughed, "How is this possible. There are still fights between the upper and lower teeth, not to mention two completely different groups of people.
On the surface, Weiyang Palace and Dong Palace have the same interests. But in private, there are contradictions and struggles on both sides.
No one is convinced, everyone wants to press the other side, the people in the East Palace want to command the people in Weiyang Palace, and the people in Weiyang Palace look down on the people in the East Palace. This is common. "
Gu Jiu laughed and said to the second master Gu Zhiwu: "Uncle Er Tang, this is what I said is different. This is also a favorable condition for this cooperation."
The second master seems to understand, but understands a bit, but feels that he didn't want to understand.
He looked at Master Laohou, "Father, tell me what to do. My son will listen to you."
Lord Hou did not rush to make a decision, but looked at Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, in what way do you think the Hou Mansion should cooperate with the Empress Empress?"
