"If you go to express gratitude, you may not be able to see your Majesty." Qi Si explained.

The people in front of me, except for Yuan Fu, probably don't understand what is going on in the palace. "The Holy Emperor has not attended many court meetings in recent years. If you don't see the Holy Emperor, most of the time you have to bow to the dragon chair to express gratitude."

Hong'er was greatly disappointed.

Gu Zhao was not surprised. Emperor Shou Zheng was a powerful figure. He rarely appeared in public in his later years, but the government affairs were always firmly in his hands.

No matter how they fight for power and gain, they are still puppets in the hands of Emperor Shou Zheng.

She didn't care whether she saw the emperor or not.

However, to express gratitude at the court meeting, you must meet Lin Weikang.

The corners of Gu Zhao's mouth turned up a little. She still wanted to take a good look at Lin Weikang's face.

————

Liguo Gongfu.

Lin Weikang's face really didn't look good.

When he received the news, he could hardly believe his ears.

A girl who was raised in a poor family since she was a child, even if she is a little clever, can't soar into the sky, right?

"Congratulations, Lord Duke! This is a great thing!" His staff were overjoyed.

Staff Member A pointed to the sky and said mysteriously, "Yes, the person who suppressed the Crane Division for more than ten years suddenly gave the colored crane uniform to Lady Gu. This is a sign that deserves our attention. This shows that, then,

I’m afraid you don’t trust the elders and ministers of civil and military affairs anymore..."

Another staff member responded, "After all, that person is already very old, and the disciples under him are getting more and more mature, so you can't be careful."

"Konghe Division will rise again, even if the new... ascends the throne, it is likely to fall silent again, but the more so, the more arrogant and powerful they will be when they are in power now!"

"At this critical moment, the person who is bestowed with the colorful crane suit is your adopted daughter. This is truly a blessing. God is helping you, Lord! Your great cause will definitely come true!"

Several staff members talked to each other, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

"With Lady Gu, does the Duke still have to worry about the eldest lady?"

"The East Palace will naturally weigh the pros and cons. It is cost-effective to exchange a princess for such powerful help as the Duke and the Controller."

"My lord, this is exactly what God wants!"

Lin Weikang opened his mouth, looking embarrassed. He didn't know how to tell them that Gu Zhao was already estranged from them.

It wasn't until the staff realized something was wrong, stopped laughing, and looked at Lin Weikang together that he sighed heavily, with a desolate look on his face. "You don't know, Gu Zhao has been in poverty since he was a child, lacked education, and has a weird nature... When she left,

, I had some troubles with my aunt, I’m afraid she will hold a grudge in her heart..."

Several staff members looked at each other in confusion, not knowing much about what happened in Duke Li's backyard and not knowing how to judge.

After a while, someone laughed and said, "As lips and teeth are dependent on each other, collisions are inevitable. Who would really take it to heart? It was you, the Duke, who personally sent people to Jiangnan to pick her up all the way to Beijing. That's how she became what she is today."

Wealth. Anyone who understands the truth knows how to be grateful."

"Yes, yes, loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of life. If you are not filial to your parents, how can Lady Gu be loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"

Another staff member continued, "Besides, although she is prominent now, she is only relying on one case and her footing is unstable. She is like a rootless tree that will fall when the wind and rain come. Without your support, Lord Guo, the control of cranes will be impossible."

Where is Si, how can she stand?"

"That's right, parents are all good in the world. As a human being, no matter what happens, you should not disobey your parents. Even if you feel a little wronged for your parents, isn't it right?"

After being told this by several staff members, Lin Weikang also felt that it made sense. There was no overnight feud between the family. As long as the pros and cons were clearly explained to Gu Zhao, she would definitely choose to understand and accept it for the sake of the overall situation.

Since the year before last, Emperor Shouzheng has rarely gone to court.

Even the half-monthly meeting of the imperial court was presided over by five ministers, who passed down the government affairs.

Gu Zhao, wearing a colorful crane uniform, walked at the end of the generals' procession, walked through the empty square, crossed the long bridge, and entered the Fengzheng Hall step by step.

Her rank was not qualified to participate in the court meeting at all. She only had such an opportunity because she had to go to court to express gratitude. So when everyone stood according to their positions, Gu Zhao stood at the gate of Fengzheng Hall.

The spring morning breeze was still cold, blowing in waves. Gu Zhao waited until her hands and feet were cold before she heard someone calling her name.

She straightened her clothes, straightened her back and walked out of the queue. She lowered her head slightly and followed the guards in the palace. Even without raising her head, Gu Zhao could feel the glances from the civil and military queues on both sides.

However, her steps did not change at all, and her back was still as straight as a pine.

Lin Weikang stood at the head of the ranks of nobles. Looking at the figure wearing the colorful crane suit and walking calmly, his mood was extremely complicated for a moment. It seemed that it was only now that he was truly sure that Gu Zhao had been gifted with the colorful crane suit by the Holy One and became a person.

The most promising newcomer in the Konkaku Division.

In a place like Fengzheng Hall, only the Duke himself has ever been to the Liguo Palace. Neither the Duke's wife nor the Duke's children are qualified to step into it.

There was no nervousness on Gu Zhao's face. Instead, she looked calm and collected, as if she was born to be the king who attracts the attention of everyone.

Lin Weikang watched her step by step past everyone and walked to the steps in front of the dragon chair, feeling a little uneasy in a daze.

Only at this moment did he really feel that something was out of his control.

In the eunuch's sharp voice, Gu Zhao completed the pilgrimage without any flaws to express his gratitude.

Turning around, Manchao Civil and Military finally saw clearly the true face of Lady Gu.

She is taller than the average girl, her oval face is solemn, her eyebrows are like crow feathers under her black gauze hat, her almond-shaped eyes are like cold stars, her gaze is unavoidable, and at first glance she is a woman with a ridge in her chest and a strong opinion of her own.

In the Fengzheng Hall, she remained so calm when facing hundreds of officials. No wonder she was able to carve out her own world in a place like Konghesi.

This is not the first time Gu Zhao has come to Fengzheng.
