First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 304 Empress Dowager’s favorite (one more)

  The princes of the right age in the imperial palace go to the study room to study homework every day. The study room of this dynasty is located in a side hall of the Jinluan Temple.

  In Zhaoguo, only the ministers of the third rank and above are eligible to enter the Jinluan Palace in the early dynasty, so teaching the princes is the only opportunity for the ministers under the third rank to set foot in the Jinluan Palace.

  But still cannot enter from the main entrance.

  Xiao Liulang was led by Duke Wei from the side up a small step into the Jinluan Hall, walked through the cloistered corridor to the outside of the imperial study.

   "The homework of the remaining princes has been completed, you will give lectures to the prince alone." Wei Gonggong reminded.

  The prince and the prince were in class together. The teachers were all highly respected ministers from the Central and Central Government. The difference was that the prince had a heavier academic work than ordinary princes. The princes had to go to school after class was over.

  The prince followed the teachers to class in the morning, followed the emperor in the afternoon to learn about the affairs of the government, and was occasionally sent to practice.

  The only prince who no longer needs to attend class is the eldest son, King Ning.

When Xiao Liulang arrived outside the study room, it coincided that the princes came out from the inside-the three princes Rui Wang had a look of food, and he was obviously in extremely painful class; the four princes were suave and graceful, and they would be able to see it, the fifth prince. The six princes looked serious, and didn't know if the homework was too difficult or what.

  Xiao Liulang bowed slightly, without squinting, neither humble nor overbearing.

  Duke Wei salutes several princes.

  Rui Wang stopped and asked: "Duke Wei, who is this?"

  Gonggong Wei smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Hui Rui said this is written by Xiao Xiu from the Hanlin Academy. Today, he will give lectures to His Royal Highness."

   "So young..." Rui Wang's eyes widened.

  I didn’t say that the rank was so low.

  In comparison, the low rank is nothing. This teacher looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, right? Can you give lectures to the prince?

  And he looks... so familiar.

   King Rui stared at Xiao Liulang's face for a while.

  Xiao Liulang calmly let him watch.

After all, King Rui is not a prince, and he is not close to the former Xiaohou Master of Zhaodu. For a while, he did not see that Xiao Liulang was like him.

   "Brother 3, can't you leave? Didn’t you say to take me and Brother 4 to play at your house?"

  The six princes urged.

"I'm coming!"

  Wang Rui didn't think about Xiao Liulang any more, and walked away in a hurry.

  "Xiao Xiu, please." Wei Gonggong made a gesture.

  Xiao Liulang stepped inside.

  The younger brothers are all over. Only if they stay and continue to learn, the prince is a little unwilling. It seems that the Hanlin official who lectures is actually Xiao Liulang, and he is not good at all.

   "Why are you?" He almost stood up in shock!

  Xiao Liulang faintly arched his hands: "Weichen, on the order of your majesty, came to give lectures to the prince."

   "Are you... lecturing for orphans?"

  What does the father think? Why would you send this guy to teach yourself? Is he already so lacking in his father's heart?

  The stinky kid, what can you learn!

  The face of the prince was green and white, which was really wonderful.

  On the other side, Gu Jiao also entered the palace.

  She is here to visit her aunt.

  She had the Renshou Palace token given to her by her aunt, and she entered the palace smoothly.

  When she passed by the Jinluan Temple, she didn't know that Xiao Liulang was inside, but she subconsciously glanced in the direction of the Jinluan Temple.

  Jinluan Temple is too magnificent. It stands on a hundred-step long steps, towering under the heaven and earth, rising from the ground to the sky, magnificent, with a heavy historical atmosphere, and it is solemn and awe-inspiring.

  Jinluan Temple is a place that every Zhaoguo official dreams of. Only if it is listed in the Jinluan Temple, can he be truly qualified to be called a great minister of the imperial court.

  To go to Renshou Palace, you need to pass the Imperial Garden.

  As soon as Gu Jiao walked there, she was called by a familiar and soft voice.

   "Sister!"

   is Gu Jinyu.

  Gu Jinyu walked towards Gu Jiao with brisk steps, and asked in surprise, "My sister has entered the palace too? Are you here to visit Concubine Shu?"

  Gu Jiao looked at her lightly.

  Gu Jinyu got used to Gu Jiao’s indifference, smiled, did not take it to heart, and explained: “Emperor Shu is sick. After hearing the news, my grandmother had trouble sleeping and eating, so I asked me to go to the palace to visit Empress Shu for her.”

  Gu Jiao doesn’t have much contact with Gu Jinyu, but she still remembers that she used to call Mrs. Gu’s daughter an aunt.

She seemed to notice the change in her attitude, Gu Jinyu lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "My sister probably doesn't know yet. I not only took credit for the bellows, but also almost grabbed the glutinous rice mortar from my sister. I told Concubine Shu that I had something more. A powerful invention, as a result of the Dongchuang incident, the empress made an embarrassment in front of your majesty, and I heard that the fifth prince was also involved. Now Concubine Shu is afraid of not wanting to see me at all."

  Gu Jiao had no plans to gossiping with her, and did not answer her words.

  Gu Jinyu said: "My sister is going to see the empress, why not come with me."

  Gu Jiao was about to say that she was not here to see Concubine Shu, but she was interrupted by a sharp drink from a young man before she spoke.

   "You are the wild girl from the country!"

  Gu Jinyu's face changed slightly, and she turned around and bowed to a young man in Jin Yi: "I have seen the Five Highnesses!"

  His Highness Five is seventeen this year, and he is the same age as Gu Chenglin, but two months younger than Gu Chenglin.

  He inherited the beauty of Concubine Shu, and he still looks outstanding among the princes who are already very handsome.

   However, his domineering arrogance is not very pleasing to Gu Jiao.

   Gu Jiao didn't lift her eyelids, but just glanced at him carelessly.

  The fifth prince stood still in front of the two, looking at her in surprise: "What is your attitude? Why don't you salute when you meet your Highness?"

  It is reasonable to say that she is going to kneel, but for the sake of her relatives, let her give her a blessing!

  Gu Jinyu reminded Gu Jiao in a low voice: "Sister."

  Gu Jiao is indifferent.

  The fifth prince became more angry: "You are so bold!"

Gu Jinyu hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "His Royal Highness, my elder sister has just entered the palace and is not very familiar with the rules of the palace. I will tell my sister well when I look back. His Royal Highness will forgive my sister once for the sake of grandfather and eldest brother. !"

   Mentioned the Old Houye and Gu Changqing, the expressions of the five princes were somewhat relaxed. No matter how sensible he was, he knew that his grandfather and eldest cousin were both his backers.

  Grandpa resigned on the surface, but secretly he was working for his father. The eldest cousin must have done something in the barracks.

  However, the fifth prince still didn't plan to let Gu Jiao go so soon.

  He said coldly to Gu Jiao: "Did you make a ghost the last time?"

  Gu Jiao looked at him weirdly, completely unable to understand what he was talking about.

The fifth prince snorted coldly: "You are really too much. If you can invent those things, why didn't you tell my mother and concubine in advance? It caused so many misunderstandings in the process. Even I was questioned by my father and checked the homework. It was all yours. wrong!"

  What kind of overbearing bandit logic is this?

  What can she do, why should she tell her unrelated concubine Shu with great fanfare?

  Gu Jiao embraced and looked at the fifth prince like a fool.

  Gu Jinyu hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, it's nothing to do with my sister. My sister told me everything, but I didn't tell my mother!"

  Gu Jiao did not deliberately tell Gu Jinyu, Gu Jinyu's remarks seemed to take the responsibility on her own.

  The fifth prince did not buy it: "Don't speak for her! I always hear about her! He obviously returned to the capital but didn't move back to the mansion, nor did he come to greet my mother and concubine!"

   "My elder sister is married, where is the daughter who came out of the cabinet to live back to her natal family? As for asking her for peace... Isn't this coming?" Gu Jinyu continued to wink at Gu Jiao, and signaled Gu Jiao to be soft.

  Gu Jiao remained indifferent.

  Fifth prince once again exploded his hair: "Look at it, see! She has no sincerity at all! She clearly didn't put my mother and my concubine in her eyes!"

  Fifth princes had a frustrated life during this period. First, they were banned by the emperor, and then they were ordered to study hard, and no one was allowed to help him with his homework. The teachers were also strict with him, and he didn't have any fun at all.

  Today everyone made an appointment to go to the third brother’s house, but he could only stay in the palace because he had not finished writing the punishment from his father.

  He was a little bit angry towards Gu Jiao.

  If Gu Jinyu was to let him go.

  But Gu Jiao would not be used to him.

  Gu Jiao looked at him and said, "I'm not here to visit Empress Shu, nor am I here to please you."

After saying this, she tilted her head slightly and motioned to the fifth prince to move away.

  The fifth prince was only a little angry at her, but now he was completely irritated.

  I treat you as a relative, and only ask you to give me a blessing, but you shamelessly!

  The fifth prince said coldly: "Kneel down!"

  Gu Jinyu's Huarong pales: "Five Your Highness!"

   "You get out of the way! Otherwise, even you will be punished!" The fifth prince seldom speaks so harshly to Gu Jinyu, which shows that he is really angry.

  Gu Jinyu dared not speak again.

  Gu Jiao frowned anxiously: "I'll say it one last time, get out of the way."

  The fifth prince said angrily: "Don't be ashamed, come here, give my Highness a palm!"

  Two eunuchs accompanied by Kong Wu forcefully stepped forward and reached out to capture Gu Jiao, but they didn't even touch the hem of Gu Jiao's clothes, so they were thrown onto the grass.

  The fifth prince jumped with anger: "How dare you commit a murder in the palace!" He raised his hand to catch Gu Jiao.

  It's so noisy!

   She has such a violent temper!

  It happened that there was a water lily tank nearby. Gu Jiao grabbed the collar of the fifth prince and threw people into the tank!

"what--"

  The five princes screamed.

  He sat and fell into the water tank, drenched all over, grabbing the edge of the tank quickly with both hands, and pulled out of the water tank against a big water lily.

  The huge movement shocked Empress Xiao who was passing by nearby.

  The wind is beautiful today. Empress Xiao accompanied Qin Chuyu to play in the imperial garden, but Qin Chuyu ran away in no time.

  At the moment, she was wandering leisurely, and when she heard the movement coming over, she saw the fifth prince sitting in the water tank, all embarrassed and trying to climb but could not get out.

  The appearance of the five princes is a bit embarrassing, but it is also really funny.

  The five princes were born handsomely, and there was a tender lotus flower on their heads, which is really uncontrollable.

   "Cough!" Empress Xiao cleared her throat, covered her mouth with the veil, and instructed the palace man, "What are you doing? Don't go and help your Highness up!"

   "Yes!" Grandpa Su personally took someone over and fished out the wet fifth prince from the tank.

  In the summer, soaking in water will not be cold, but it is ugly.

  The face of the five princes is even more ugly.

  The people in the palace didn't dare to laugh at him, they were held back.

  Queen Xiao came over slowly, glanced around, and asked: "What happened?"

   "I have seen my mother." The fifth prince bowed aggrievedly.

  Gu Jinyu also bowed and saluted: "Please greet the queen, the queen is blessed and safe."

  Queen Xiao's eyes fell on Gu Jiao who was beside Gu Jinyu: "Which palace is this person?"

  Gu Jinyu hurriedly said: "If you return to the queen, this is the elder sister of the courtier."

   "Your sister?" Although Empress Xiao had never met Gu Jiao, she had heard of Gu Jiao, but people's brains sometimes short-circuited, and she didn't remember which sister Gu Jinyu had.

   Besides, Gu Jiao's appearance is indeed too unsightly.

   Empress Xiao frowned, and withdrew the gaze that fell on Gu Jiao.

   "What's the matter?" Empress Xiao asked the fifth prince.

  The fifth prince glanced at Gu Jiao. He didn't intend to sue, but he couldn't stand the eunuch's mouth breaking.

An **** got up from the ground and thumped to Queen Xiao to kneel down: "Queen Qi, this girl is so bold that she actually acted on His Highness Five in the palace! It wasn't you who arrived in time, His Highness Five had already been poisoned by her. !"

   Empress Xiao's expression cooled down.

  Assassinate the prince in the palace, is this still worth it?

   "Enlighten the Queen!" Gu Jinyu knelt down, risking death and pleaded, "There was only a misunderstanding between the Fifth Highness and Sister, and the Sister didn't want to kill the Fifth Highness! Please give it to the Empress!"

   "Yo, Yu Huayuan is so lively today."

  At the entrance, there was a faintly smiling voice from Concubine Zhuang.

  Following Yu Fei beside her.

  Yu Fei is the biological mother of King Rui, and the two have always been close.

  This is the first time that Concubine Zhuang Guifei came out to visit the garden after Princess Ning had a tyre. Unexpectedly, she encountered such a wonderful thing.

  The imperial concubine Zhuang owed the queen slightly.

Concubine Yu gave a salute: "The concubine has seen the queen."

  The five princes bowed embarrassingly: "Zhuang Niangniang, Yu Niangniang."

  Zhuang Guifei seemed to be in a good mood today, and she said with a three-point smile between her eyebrows: "What's wrong with Xiaowu? Is it too hot to go to the water? Why is there a flower on her head?"

flower? !

  Fifth Prince's complexion changed, and he hurriedly raised his hand to pick off the water lily on the top of his head.

  Thinking that his dignified prince of a country actually bloomed on top of his head in front of so many people, he was embarrassed, and he wanted to find a place to sew in!

  Queen Xiao looked at Gu Jiao, and sighed: “Xiao Wu had a little quarrel with this girl, and this palace is now inquiring about it.”

Concubine Zhuang smiled and glanced at Gu Jinyu and Gu Jiao next to her: "So, Xiao Wu was pushed into the water by her? If something like this happened, let's call Concubine Shu. How can Xiao Wu be him? My son."

  Queen Xiao nodded: "Go and call Concubine Shu."

   "Yes!" Grandpa Su went to Changchun Palace to report to Concubine Shu.

  Learning that her son was pushed into the water, Concubine Shu could not care that she was still ill, and went to the Royal Garden against the scorching sun.

  Queen Xiao couldn’t remember who Gu Jinyu’s sister was. Could Concubine Shu think of it?

  A red birthmark on his face is too ugly to see people. Who is the niece who is not raised in the country? !

  She held the fifth prince's hand distressedly, turned her head and glared at Gu Jiao fiercely: "You pushed Xiao Wu into the water? I think you're wrong!"

   Empress Xiao said: "Shu Concubine, the matter has not been figured out yet, Miss Gu and the **** have different opinions. Let's listen to what Xiao Wu and this girl say."

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said: "I only ask the queen, did she push Xiao Wu into the water?"

  The **** next to the Fifth Prince cried: "Manny! That's her! She beat the minions and pushed the Fifth Prince into the water!"

Concubine Shu was trembling with anger. She clenched her fists, and said to Empress Xiao with the last trace of reason: "Manny, this person is my niece, and I also ask the empress to hand him over to me."

  Queen Xiao asked: "What are you going to do?"

Concubine Shu looked at Gu Jiao coldly and said: "She has a mother but not a mother. Naturally, the concubine will take the place of her brother and sister to discipline her! Come on! Take her down for me!"

  As soon as the voice fell, Duke Qin’s voice sounded from far and near: "The queen mother is driving here--"

  Queen Xiao and the concubines hurriedly turned around and bowed their bodies respectfully.

  The Queen Mother of Zhuang Feng Hu came to the imperial garden, like a golden phoenix flapping its wings, the momentum instantly shocked the audience.

  The silence in the Royal Garden is so quiet that needles can be heard.

   or Empress Xiao as the head of the concubine, she had to boldly say: "Why did the mother come here?"

"If the Ai's family doesn't come, I don't know that each of you will cause trouble to the Ai's family like this. The Ai's family hired a doctor from outside the palace and was blocked by you halfway... You shouted and killed. Why? Back to the palace, you just can't wait for your family so much, okay?"

  The hat was buckled, except that they prevented the Queen Mother from practicing medicine and wanted to murder the Queen Mother!

  "Forgive the queen!"

   Empress Xiao knelt down with the help of the court lady.

  The queen knelt, and the concubine Zhuang and the others could only follow the hula la and knelt on the ground.

   "Come here." Empress Dowager Zhuang said indifferently.

  This is to Gu Jiao.

  The Queen Mother still wants to stand up in front of outsiders.

  She actually meant to let Gu Jiao come next to Feng Hu, and then she continued to be a trembling queen of disaster for the country with high coldness!

  I didn't know that Gu Jiao would be wrong, she supported Feng Hu with one hand, and sat beside her aunt especially obediently.

   Queen Mother Zhuang: "..."

  Everyone: "..."

  Queen Mother Zhuang: Oh, I'm used to it, I will spoil it if I collapse!
