Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

Chapter 339 Confrontation between king and minister

Nowadays, we live in a peaceful and prosperous era. Every year when the year draws to a close, prosperous cities like the capital become bustling early in the morning.

Ning Weizhou returned victoriously, and naturally there were a bunch of officials waiting to welcome him at the city gate. All kinds of flattery and fawning words were everywhere, as if they were free of charge.

The streets were filled with ordinary people watching the fun, just like when Gu Feiwan first met Ning Weizhou!

It was almost noon when Ning Weizhou led his entourage into the city. When the heroic General Ning passed by a famous restaurant in the capital, he stopped the reins and looked up!

The common people along the street and the honor guard didn't understand what was going on, so they all looked up!

In a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, the window was open and a beautiful woman with smiling eyes was waving at General Ning!

"Wow!"

Amidst the exclamations of wow, there was also a lot of envy:

"The general and his wife are such a loving couple!"

"What a match made in heaven!"

"Back then, the general fell in love with the daughter of the Gu family at first sight under this window!"

"I heard that the general has admired Miss Gu for a long time!"

"Thanks to Lord Shen's grace in reconciling us, this pair of immortal lovers has been brought together!"

Some people sincerely bless out of envy, while others maliciously throw mud at you out of jealousy:

"She is just a slut that no one wants. She is so shameless as to flirt with others in public!"

Before he finished speaking, someone glared at him angrily:

"Men can ride horses, fight in battles, and achieve great things, but can't women show their faces in front of others?"

"Yes, and the daughter of the Gu family is not an ordinary lady. When she heard about the flood in Jiangnan, she rushed around. The Gu family donated countless food and medicinal materials to ensure that the common people had enough food and warm clothes. Such achievements are not matched by ordinary men!"

After arguing for a few words, two big men came over, their faces were full of flesh, but they tried hard to smile:

"Everyone, we were careless at home and let the patient escape. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

As he spoke, the big hands like iron clamps twisted the man's arm, covered his mouth and nose, and dragged him away.

"Since he is mentally ill, he should be kept under close watch and not released to cause trouble!" shouted the common people who had not yet cursed enough.

At the corner of the street, a graceful man in a long gown stroked the floating silk ribbon on his hair and walked towards the dark alley behind him with a smile:

"General Yuan once said that the most important thing for us as officials and generals is to listen to the opinions of the people and remember to do it practically and well!"

There was no sound in the dark alley, and the man seemed to be talking to himself.

But after he finished speaking, the dull beating sounds from deeper inside became louder and more frequent.

"I heard that you were flirting with your wife on the street?"

Inside the magnificent house, the King of Wu sat at the desk.

He was more dignified and steady than when he first ascended the throne, and it was obvious that he was already familiar with the affairs of the court.

Ning Weizhou grinned and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to hand over the military token. If you have nothing else to ask, I will kowtow and go back!"

The emperor glared at him and said, "You are a general with a large army, you should be more cautious! The memorials impeaching you are lined up at the city gate, can't you let me be more careful?"

Ning Weizhou continued to smile: "If I can win the battle, Your Majesty will not have to worry about it. I don't care about those memorials, Your Majesty should not take them to heart!"

The emperor was so angry that he pounded the table and yelled: "Your family's trivial affairs have disturbed the peace of the capital!"

Ning Weizhou said innocently, "Your Majesty, I just entered the city today. I have not been in the capital for more than half a year. You can't blame me for everything that happens in the capital!"

"You are not in the capital, but your father-in-law wanted to vent his anger on your wife. Not only did he chase the two people from the second branch of the Ning family like dogs with their tails cut off, he even did not let their married daughters go. Ning Ziqing was almost divorced less than ten years after she got married!"

Ning Weizhou spread his hands when he heard this: "Didn't he get divorced in the end?"

"From what you said, you seem to be regretting it?" The emperor laughed in anger:

"They are your parents and sisters after all. If they lose face, does that mean you will be glorious?"

Ning Weizhou stopped smiling and looked sad: "Your Majesty, you know that I lost my mother when I was young..."

"You..." The emperor pointed at Ning Weizhou with trembling fingers:

"I won't talk about the Ning family for now. The Marquis of Weiwu Mansion was conferred by the late emperor. Feng Erlang brought people in directly and beat up the paralyzed Shen Zhili. He also dragged in the matter of Shen Wangshi who had been imprisoned for a long time. Even the Earl of Laiyang Mansion has been in turmoil because of marrying Shen Yujun. The scandal of the Marquis of Weiwu has spread everywhere. Uncle Wang Cheng has come to the palace to cry to me several times..."

"Then your majesty, you can either hand my father-in-law over to King Cheng to vent your anger!" Ning Weizhou kindly suggested.

The emperor grabbed the scroll and threw it over: "Back then, your father-in-law beat Prince Cheng so badly that he had bruises all over his head. After that, Prince Cheng hid whenever he saw your father-in-law. Don't you know that?"

Ning Weizhou picked up the scroll and carefully put it back on the table: "Then your majesty should personally severely punish my father-in-law. He has not returned to the capital for many years. Your majesty will take this opportunity to do it!"

"Yes, I took advantage of Yuan Shaohui's great contribution and caught him and punished him severely, which made some people happy!" said the emperor quietly.

Ning Weizhou clasped his fists and bowed: "I said that Your Majesty is a wise ruler and will never let a loyal minister feel disappointed!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "You have never been such a scoundrel before. It seems that your wife has really taught you to be more capable!"

Speaking of Gu Feiwan, Ning Weizhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty praises me highly, but my wife is indeed excellent!"

The emperor looked at that smile and found it particularly glaring:

"Get out of here!"

"I resign!"

Ning Weizhou leaped out of the imperial study like the wind. After he ran far away, he put away the unruly smile on his face and walked steadily towards the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say to summon the General's wife, Gu, to the palace to persuade the Empress?"

In the imperial study, Eunuch Gao asked carefully.

The emperor had a blank expression on his face, and after a while he said, "It's because the queen was too close to Gu that she learned some things she shouldn't have. From now on, when Gu enters the palace, have someone keep an eye on her."

"Yes!" Eunuch Gao sighed silently.

Even if the imperial family begins with sincerity, it can ultimately not withstand the passage of time.

But all in all, the emperor and empress of this dynasty are already extremely affectionate and accommodating to each other. As long as they can continue to accommodate each other, it will still be a beautiful story.

"General, your madam asked you to leave the palace to meet someone!" Lou Yideng, who was at the palace gate, reported to Ning Weizhou when he saw him.

Ning Weizhou knew what was going on and jumped onto the carriage: "Let's go!"

The carriage traveled slowly for a cup of tea and stopped outside a house.

The alley here is narrow and can only accommodate one carriage, but it is quiet as there is only one family living in the alley.

I knocked on the door and soon heard footsteps inside.

The door was opened, revealing Qingshuang's face: "The general is here, the young lady and the second lady are waiting for you to have dinner together!"
