Chapter 149 Are You Afraid that I Will Not Die Fast Enough?

During a palace banquet, everyone was absent-minded.

All pricked up their ears and listened to what the concubines had to say.

However, the concubines and concubines talked about the romantic affairs, and the key information was not disclosed at all.

A few princesses of the country, except for the lady of the country, who looked worried, everyone looked calm.

The Queen's concubine is ill, this is a good thing!

It's too late to celebrate, how can you be worried.

The only thing to worry about is whether the emperor will take the opportunity to set off a big storm after the death of the empress? Will it affect my family?

Also, the forces in the courtroom should be shuffled. Should the family act early and take the initiative? But he was worried that he would attract the suspicion of the emperor, which would outweigh the gains.

You must know that the older Kaiyao Emperor is, the smaller his heart is, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.

Whoever makes Emperor Kaiyao unhappy, Kaiyao Emperor will make three generations of his family unhappy.

After thinking about it like this, the ladies of the country have a very tacit choice to stand still and wait for the changes.

The palace banquet was boring, so Gu Jiu took a sip of wine.

The cold wine rolled down from the throat, and the whole person was chilled from head to toe.

never mind!

This palace banquet cannot be eaten.

Gu Jiu put down the wine glass and knelt quietly behind Mrs Zhang and Mrs Xie.

Gu Yue kept her head down, her mind unclear.

Gu Shan was as quiet as a chicken the whole time, and she hadn't heard a few words from her today.

Bang!

Whose wine glass rolled to the ground instantly attracted everyone's attention.

In front, Concubine Xue covered her lips and smiled, glanced at the wine glass on the ground, and said, "Sister Xian, what's the matter with you? But your hands are cold? The slave servants who have been killed these days gave Sister Xian a cold wine glass, damn it."

"My goddess, spare my life, my goddess spare my life!"

All the palace servants on the spot, regardless of grade or not, all knelt down and kowtowed in unison.

Concubine Xue snorted coldly,

Majestic.

Concubine Xian said with a blank face: "The noble concubine thinks too much, it is because I am not sure about it, and it has nothing to do with others."

Concubine Xue Gui laughed, "Sister Xian Concubine is as benevolent as ever. Well, since Concubine Xian has said something, this palace will not care about this matter."

Concubine Xian frowned, stared at Concubine Xue Gui, and changed her previous calmness and gentleness, "Caring? This palace smashes a wine glass, and Ben Gong doesn't care about it. What do you care about? Could it be that Concubine Gui really thinks she is the queen's concubine?"

The air in the hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

This is to do something!

Can the concubines really bear it?

The Empress started to do things before she died, so she wasn't afraid that the Empress would pull her back before she died.

Concubine Xue Gui's face changed drastically, her eyes filled with ruthlessness, "Sister Xian, be careful. You are dissatisfied with the empress' connivance in your heart, and you shouldn't curse the empress. The empress is the mother of a country, how can you slander her."

Concubine Xian was trembling with anger, and Concubine Xue Gui was clearly confounding right and wrong.

"You're the one who slandered and spoke openly. I don't know who has a bad mind. Do you really think that you have the final say in this harem?"

Concubine Xue sneered, "Sister Xian Fei has misunderstood. I don't care what I said about this harem, and it doesn't matter if you say it. Naturally, it is Your Majesty and the Empress who have the final say. Concubine Xian, you are quite old. Be careful when you speak."

Concubine Xian was so angry that her face flushed, she snorted coldly, got up, and flung her sleeves away.

Concubine Xue Gui smiled contemptuously, she dared to fight against her with this little skill, she was beyond her own power.

Concubine Shu sat still, never saying a word from beginning to end, just drinking on her own.

Concubine Xue smiled, "Sister Concubine Shu, let's drink."

Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Xue Gui with a half-smile, "Forget it! I don't want to be mad at you."

Concubine Xue's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air, as if she was frightened, and seemed to have heard something ridiculous.

She covered her lips and smiled, "Sister Concubine Shu really knows how to joke."

Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Xue Gui, "Bengong never jokes."

Concubine Xue Gui snorted coldly to herself, "Forget it, why should this palace have a warm face and a cold butt."

Concubine Shu ignored her.

Gu Jiu's position was a little far from the front, so he couldn't hear the words of the concubines, but he could see the movements of the concubines.

Since Concubine Xian left with her sleeves thrown, Concubine Shu indifferently rejected Concubine Xue Gui, Concubine Xue was enjoying herself, and Gu Jiu saw it all.

She secretly stunned, is the relationship between these concubines really to this extent? Don't hide it in front of people, and directly spread the contradiction in front of everyone?

Is this really good?

Or is it that the contradictions in the palace have reached the point of white-hot, and there is no need to cover up?

Gu Jiu heard Mrs. Zhang sigh.

So she whispered, "Auntie, does it matter?"

Zhang Shi whispered to Gu Jiu, "Let's get out of the palace as soon as possible. If you continue to stay, I'm worried that something will happen."

As the Queen's body was getting worse day by day, the concubines almost directly tore their faces, rolled up their sleeves and went into battle shirtless.

Gu Jiu has a heart.

This harem is really not a place for people to stay.

She thought of Jiang Yan, who was bent on climbing up. She wondered if Jiang Yan had successfully entered the palace? Where are you now, can you be satisfied? Or is it that you are suffering at the bottom, and you can't see hope and see the future?

The most beautiful youth in my daughter's family were just a few years. If Jiang Yan can't seize the opportunity and climb up at the best age, then her life will be difficult.

Gu Jiu thought about it, and continued to suffer at the palace banquet.

This palace banquet, everyone was ignorant of the taste, and soon dispersed.

Mrs. Zhang led Mrs. Xie to see Mrs. Wei, the old lady, and wanted to leave the palace ahead of schedule.

The old lady Wei Shi nodded, "Let's go out of the palace, we all go out of the palace. This year is not peaceful, everyone should be cautious."

Zhang Shi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The eldest lady and the little Wei hurried to the old lady's side.

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law just got a message."

"What news? Could it be the Queen Mother..."

The old lady Wei's face changed slightly, thinking that the Empress won't even make it through the first day of the new year.

If the Empress is really gone, then everyone present today...

The old lady Wei's brows were tense, and her face was not good-looking. This old bone of hers is afraid that she will not be able to survive the funeral of the empress and will die in front of the mourning hall.

The eldest lady and the little Wei hurriedly said: "It's not what the old lady thought. The daughter-in-law got the news that in the next few days, the emperors and grandsons will choose wives collectively. No accident, Qi'er and Ying'er are on the list."

"what?"

The second wife, Mrs. Wang, and the third wife, Mrs. Duan, were all in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, is this news accurate?"

The first lady Wei said with certainty: "The news is confirmed. Several ladies of the country were the first to get the news, and they are already discussing countermeasures."

Everyone searched the crowd for the traces of the country's wives, and sure enough, several of the country's wives gathered together, and everyone looked dignified.

The old lady Wei asked, "Who came up with the idea? How could you think of letting the emperors and grandchildren choose their wives collectively?"

The eldest lady and the little Wei whispered: "I heard that it was the meaning of the empress, and your majesty agreed. This time, the girls in the Pei family probably won't be able to escape."

How many people are staring at the marriage of the Pei family girl, who makes Luhou powerful, holds military power, and has a high position.

As the daughter of the Marquis of Lu, she has received far more attention than the princesses.

Pei Yun escaped from marriage and ran to the northwest. Do you really think that no one in the capital knows about it? It's just that everyone is silent.

My family can't marry Pei Yun, and of course I'm not happy to see other families marry Pei Yun.

Pei Yun was able to leave the capital smoothly and head to the northwest. It can be said that many people have made it convenient.

This time, Pei Yun quietly returned to Beijing from the northwest before the Chinese New Year.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Pei family is going to set a marriage for Pei Yun.

Whether Pei Yun married into the royal family or into the Xungui family, everyone was paying attention.

Because Pei Yun's marriage represented Luhou's attitude from the side.

Over the years, Luhou's attitude has always been ambiguous and vague.

The nobles said that his stance was not firm and his ass was crooked, for fear that he would stab him in the back.

Civil servants said that he was corrupt and had wolf ambitions, which was not enough for him. Some people even said that the Marquis of Lu should be slashed by a thousand swords.

However, no matter how honorable civil servants slandered and abused the Marquis of Lu. In fact, everyone wanted to win him over.

After winning the Marquis of Lu, the throne of the emperor was basically secured.

However, the bastard Luhou took a lot of money. He dared to take the money from anyone who gave it, but he didn't do anything when he took the money.

A complete asshole.

What Luhou has done makes people grit their teeth with hatred.

It just so happens that everyone has nothing to do with him.

However, although Luhou said that oil and salt do not enter, at least he has children. Several daughters are not yet married, this is the opportunity.

Several sons of Luhou married either the daughters of nobles or the daughters of his subordinates. The position is not obvious enough.

Now it's the turn of Luhou's daughters to say kiss, he can't marry his precious daughter to his subordinate's son.

It is said that high marry a woman, low marry a daughter-in-law. Let Pei Yun marry the son of a military general, it is like a flower stuck on the cow dung, it's a waste!

Therefore, Pei Yun's marriage has many operations and also represents many meanings.

As soon as the old lady Wei thought about it, she knew that it seemed that the emperor and grandson chose a wife, but in fact, many forces were fighting in it.

"This pool is too deep, you are not allowed to stretch out your hands. Qi'er and Ying'er's marriage will be decided as soon as possible after the old man and the old man discuss it. Let's go and leave the palace quickly."

The old lady Wei Shi's expression was solemn, and everyone followed suit.

Zhang Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't have a daughter, otherwise she would have been worried to death.

Xie's brains are twisted, the emperor's grandson chooses a wife, it's a good thing.

Gu Yue's marriage has been decided, but there is still Gu Shan.

If Gu Shan can marry the emperor's grandson, it would be a true ancestral accumulation of virtue.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly reminded Mrs. Xie, "Brother and sister, this matter is not as simple as you think. Don't mess around and hurt the whole family."

Xie pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law reminded you right, don't worry, I will definitely not mess around. My family is still young, and Lun can't talk about her."

Zhang Shi frowned, with a serious expression, "Let's go, go out of the palace with the old lady."

But she had already made plans in her mind. After returning to the mansion, she had to have someone remind Master Gu.

No matter what Xie thinks, she must nip her in the bud.

Gu Jiu walked with Gu Mei, "Sister Mei, it doesn't matter, right?"

"I'm fine. But sisters Qi and Ying are in trouble."

Gu Jiu asked in a low voice, "Has it been resolved at the Zhao Wangfu?"

At the beginning, Zhao Wangfu wanted to marry Gu Qi, but Houfu refused and did not hesitate to cooperate with the empress.

Gu Jiu kept this matter in mind, not knowing what would happen next.

Gu Mei whispered to her: "There is no movement in the Zhao Wangfu for the time being, and it seems that they have given up. But this time the emperor's grandson chooses a wife, I am worried that there will be trouble in the Zhao Wangfu. I heard that as long as the emperor chooses whoever, His Majesty The marriage will be ordered directly."

Gu Jiu shook her head slightly, "Sister Mei can rest assured on this point. If you want Your Majesty to decree a marriage, the premise is that the wife of the emperor's grandson must meet His Majesty's requirements.

For example, Sister Pei Yun from the Marquis of Lu Mansion, not just any grandson can choose her as his wife.

If someone doesn't understand the situation and chooses a wife randomly, not only will His Majesty not decree the marriage, he may even be angry. "

Gu Mei said: "Those imperial grandsons, sister Xiaojiu has never had contact with, all of them are human beings, and each one is more calculated than the other. I think, this time when the imperial grandson chooses a wife, there will definitely be fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble."

Gu Jiu nodded, that's true.

The emperors and grandsons received the highest quality education in this era. No matter in terms of thinking, vision, and ability, they are not comparable to ordinary people.

When it comes to playing tricks and playing tricks, these grandsons have thrown more than ten streets away from most of their peers.

A simple choice of a wife for the emperor and grandson is likely to be played by them in various tricks.

The Queen Mother suggested that the emperors and grandsons choose wives collectively, but she really did not have a good heart.

It is estimated that the Queen Mother wanted to make a major event at the last moment of her life and make the situation even more chaotic.

The more chaotic the situation, the more clowns jumping out one after another, in order to bring out the kindness and excellence of His Royal Highness.

In this case, what reason does the Son of Heaven have to abolish His Royal Highness?

The rotten grandsons of the emperors indirectly bring out the rottenness of the princes and princes, and there will never be a lower limit.

Rather than letting a rotten prince inherit the throne, let the prince inherit the throne. After all, the prince has the advantage of kindness.

Gu Jiu pondered for a while, and felt more and more that the Queen's concubine was unfathomable and her methods were extraordinary.

It's a pity that she can't fight for her life, she can't fight for Emperor Kai Yao.

Gu Jiu secretly sighed with emotion, the queen's concubine was not allowed to be a man, but it was a pity that the son she gave birth was not even half as good as her. Sadly.

I'm afraid the Queen's concubine is also very unwilling.

The Gu family left the palace smoothly and set off in a carriage to return to the palace.

Master Gu also rushed back in the middle of the afternoon.

The Xie Clan sent someone to invite Master Gu to the Furong Courtyard.

"Master has worked hard."

Master Gu had a stern face and a gloomy expression, "I heard that at the banquet in the harem, Concubine Xian smashed the wine glass and left with her sleeves thrown?"

Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got close to Master Gu, "Does even the master know about this?"

Master Gu snorted coldly, "Someone reported to His Majesty the situation that happened in the harem palace banquet immediately. I know about this matter, which means that almost the whole capital knows about it."

Xie Shi secretly cried out in fear.

"My concubine didn't expect to see that scene. But I was so far away that I didn't hear what the concubines said."

"It doesn't matter! The general reason is already known to me."

Xie was curious and asked, "What's the reason? Does Concubine Xian have any grudges against Concubine Noble?"

Master Gu whispered: "Some time ago, it is estimated that it was only two or three months ago. King Zhao slapped King Yan."

"what?"

Xie Shi couldn't believe it.

Master Gu added: "This happened in the palace, under the eyes of His Majesty. King Zhao is the elder, and King Yan is the youngest. King Yan was slapped by King Zhao, and if he can't fight back, he will definitely hold grudges in his heart. Concubine Xian is Yan. The king's biological mother hated Wu Jiwu, and naturally she hated Concubine Xue Gui and the mother and son of King Zhao."

Xie Shi was frightened for a while, "Have you princes and ladies already made trouble to this point?"

Master Gu nodded, "The old man reminded me that I have to stay away from these princes in the future. Don't get involved in the battle between the princes."

Mrs Xie nodded again and again, "Master is right. I also heard news today that it is said that the emperors and grandchildren will choose wives collectively in the next few days. The old lady is very worried, worried about Gu Qi and Gu Ying's two children. selected."

Master Gu frowned, "This is indeed a troublesome matter. But the old lady and the old man should have a way to deal with it."

"Master, everyone is afraid to avoid the choice of a wife for the emperor's grandson. But if the girl can marry into a palace that does not compete for the throne, the concubine thinks it will be fine."

Master Gu narrowed his eyes, "What does Madam want to say?"

Xie Shi was apprehensive, but she still said, "My concubine is thinking, should Shan'er seize this opportunity?"

"absurd!"

Master Gu snarled, "Is the words I just said all in vain? Did you not listen to a word? I said it all, stay away from these princes, princes, and grandsons, and you still come close. Are you afraid I won't die fast enough?"

Xie Shi panicked, "Master, concubine doesn't mean that. Concubine just wants Shan'er to marry into a good family."

Master Gu was so angry that he said, "Shut up. There are so many good people in the world, why do you have to marry the grandson? Let me tell you, this is the capital, not the northwest.

Do you know that if you make a mistake, you may end up doing nothing.

Do you think that a certain royal mansion will be able to live in peace and prosperity without participating in the struggle for succession? you dream.

You are so disappointing to me. You are obsessed with profit, why do you only see the immediate benefits, but not the risks? I really want to kill you. "
