It can be seen that the person in front of him may not have been happy in the past few years, Bai Guo and Gu Fu said a few words, they were not willing to ask some things that might embarrass the other party on the scene, so they just asked the palace servants who served her to send her back. Go to the seat where the family members are sitting, and send hot tea and pastries.

The ministers and wives under the seat are all good people, and they are the most eye-catching. Those who didn't look down on Gu Fu before have all changed their faces at the moment, and they are very warm and close to her. A feeling of alienation.

Gu Fu thanked Bai Guo for saving face for her, and bowed her head in gratitude.

"Whose family did Gu Fu marry?" Bai Guo saw Gu Fu's expression gradually relaxed from a distance, and finally couldn't help asking the people around him in a low voice, "The last time I saw her was a little girl who hadn't left the court, I vaguely remembered that the one in her heart He seems to be a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam? Are the two married?"

Wen Sushu knew more, shook his head and sighed, "No."

"That is?"

"In that year's imperial examination, there were a hundred and ten candidates who were sent to prison in the end, and the scholar was among them, and he was executed not long after." Wen Sushu said, "At that time, the Gu family learned that their daughter had taken a fancy to a down-and-out scholar with filthy conduct. In a fit of rage, Gu Fu was imprisoned in confinement. Later, the story of Gu Fu and the scholar spread out somehow, which ruined the reputation of her daughter's family, and she almost couldn't get married. After that, a family of third-rank officials came to ask for marriage. , the Gu family didn't think much about it, so they married their daughter."

Bai Guo frowned, always feeling that something was wrong: "The third-rank official family, are you sincere to Gu Fu?"

Wen Sushu heard the words, the smile that was used to hanging on his lips became a little cold: "What kind of sincerity is it? The eldest son in the family is old enough to be a father to a young girl's family. The reputation of my daughter's family has been ruined, and I am a sex-seeker, so it's just a good time to start."

"This..." Bai Guo's eyes widened in surprise, "The Gu family is a respectable family after all, and that family is absurd, so why would they follow and harm their daughter?! Gu Fu, how can she bear it?!"

"So what if you can't stand it?" Wen Sushu picked up the tea, took a sip, and said in a calm tone, "Third-rank officials are not very dignified in Beijing, but at least they still have some real power in their hands. Compared with the Gu family who has been going downhill However, if the Gu family married their daughter, even if it was only as a continuation, it would be too expensive. Besides, only sacrificing one aunt's daughter can exchange the aunt's son for a ladder to climb smoothly. Lost business."

When Bai Guo heard the words, he had nothing to say.

"After she married that third-rank official, she committed suicide once." Wen Sushu said rather unhappily, "It's a pity that God doesn't accept her life. It's very pitiful."

Ginkgo was silent.

Wen Sushu saw that he looked a bit sleepy, and even the empress dowager looked down from time to time, patted his arm quickly, and said in a low voice: "If you feel distressed, give her more face and let her return It's better after the husband's house."

Bai Guo thought for a while, then suddenly asked Wen Sushu: "A Shu, how do you know about her so clearly?"

"I only met her a few times." Wen Sushu shook his head and said, "I only know these things because Xian'er often talks about it."

Bai Guo nodded: "Xian'er has always been acquainted with the family members." It is indeed her style to know so carefully.

Although she didn't have a good impression of the Gu family, Gu Fu was a good girl. Bai Guo thought about it, and asked the female officer to question her, only to find out that the third-rank official family only granted the title of life wife to the wife of the original wife. However, Gu Fu doesn't have much status in the family, not even as respectable as some daughter-in-laws and grand-daughter-in-laws in the family. Life is very difficult.

"in this way……"

Bai Guo ordered the palace servants to draw up a decree, and then recruited the servants to keep it, and ordered the servants to send it outside the palace after today's banquet.

The wives of the aristocratic family were present, and everyone had a lunch with the empress dowager who was in good spirits. Xie Xiao rubbed his eyes and cried out that he was sleepy.The Empress Dowager couldn't bear the pain of her little great-grandson, so she took Xie Xiao to the inner hall to rest. Seeing this, the rest of the family members got up and said goodbye.

Bai Guo and Wen Sushu stayed at the end, and it happened that Xie He and Xie Xi both finished school from Taixue, Xie Zhan soon got together with his two older brothers, and the three brothers went to play.

"I have something to tell you." Wen Sushu looked at the children playing and laughing from a distance, tilted his head and whispered to Bai Guo, "After the year, my Highness wants to go out for a walk."

"His Royal Highness is leaving Beijing?" Bai Guo was a little surprised.

Wen Sushu smiled, with a sense of satisfaction and relief on his face: "His Royal Highness's body has actually recovered after all these years, but because of his previous status, if he continues to stay in Beijing, Beijing may be in danger." There is no peace."

"Your Majesty, he won't mind..." Bai Guo opened his mouth.

"No." Wen Sushu shook his head, "No matter what your majesty thinks, since your majesty was willing to give up that position at the beginning, he really doesn't care... As for what he is asking for now, he just wants to travel all over the world in person in his lifetime. It’s just the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Jin.”

"When will you set off next year?" Bai Guo asked.

"It's early spring, when everything recovers, it's a good time."

Bai Guo always thought that Rong Wang and his wife would be the first to leave Beijing, but what he didn't expect was that on the third day after having lunch with the Queen Mother, Li Xianer dragged more than a dozen carts of luggage outside the palace and handed them to the palace temporarily. brand.

Bai Guo: "I heard..." It seems that the yard in King Qin's mansion was smashed by the two of you?

"I packed up my belongings and prepared to leave Beijing." Li Xian'er interrupted him, her tone was fast, but her expression was as guilty as a thief, "That idiot set off for Qingzhou Mansion with me on his back last night, I have to go find him The purpose of entering the palace is to tell Guoguo that I won’t take Xie Xi with me. Anyway, I won’t be able to starve him if I stay in the capital. If you can find a place for him to live in the palace, you can live there. Tell him to go to the Li Mansion to find my brother..."

After explaining a few words about her son, Li Xian'er said bluntly, "I'm leaving!"

After all, people are just like when they came, and they go away like the wind.

ginkgo:"?"

Xie Xi, who was tragically abandoned, was probably the last poor little boy to know that his parents had left Beijing. Bai Guo was afraid that the child would be sensitive, so he specially arranged for him to live next to Xie Zhan, so that the two brothers would not feel lonely when they were together every day.

But Xie Xi unexpectedly adapted well, and even within a few days, he and Xie Zaizai became the only duo in the palace.

As for the parents?

They go wherever they like, and finally no one stops him to play with Xie Xiaoxi!

Bai Guo: "...Alas."

There is an extra little devil in the palace, and only Xie Lin can barely control the other party's appearance, which makes Bai Guo very helpless.At any rate, what made him feel happy while worrying was the fact that the decree that he asked the palace servants to confer on Gu Fu as the wife of the third rank played a role.

Gu Fu was appointed as a third-rank official by the empress, and she was already two ranks higher than her original partner who died early as a third-rank official.With the imperial order added to her body, her body naturally straightened up, and it became inevitable for the sons and daughters of the high official's family to kneel down and pay respects when they met. The original contempt in the eyes of everyone also became cautious and careful.

Probably out of gratitude for Bai Guo's help to her, Gu Fu often went to the palace to hand out a sign to talk to him.

"Actually, my wife doesn't hate my current husband's family very much." Before entering the palace for the last time, Gu Fu put on extremely delicate makeup on her face, and her expression became quite different from the previous depressed one.When she spoke, there was a sarcastic smile on her expression that she didn't realize, "On the contrary, the Gu family came to see me yesterday. Your Highness, you don't know. When Gu Zixiu knelt down in front of me and begged me, I How happy are you?"

Bai Guo thought that Gu Zixiu was Gu Fu's elder brother.

"They are so disgusting." Gu Fu said with a look of disgust, "Where did they get faces?"

Bai Guo asked, "What did you do to the Gu family?"

Gu Fu smiled, and said in a very flat tone: "Just let them spit out what they ate."

Bai Guo didn't ask in detail at the time, but after a few days, he heard the follow-up from Xie Lin. It turned out that the third-rank official who bought and sold officials in private was harassed by others, and he was arrested in the prison recently. As his wife's family, the Gu family is the beneficiary of the other party's buying and selling of officials. From the first son of the Gu family to the side branches of the Gu family, there are six or seven people who are inseparable from each other.

When Bai Guo heard about this, she probably understood that not only the third-rank officials were finished, but also the Gu family.

Sure enough, the Gu family headed by Gu Zixiu was also imprisoned soon, and the family ended miserably.

Not long after, the news of Gu Fu's reunion with the third-rank official spread into the palace, and after the reconciliation, Gu Fu did not return to the completely ruined Gu family, but rented a shop by herself, and started a new life. business.

Seeing that Gu Fu is doing well, Bai Guo feels relieved.

Most people in the world look down on women and twins.

But there are always frequent accidents in Beijing, such as Gu Fu, and Princess Xiaoyu.

Since King Yu was imprisoned in the clan's mansion forever, and was deprived of his royal status and demoted to a commoner, the Prince Yu's mansion ceased to exist.

As for Princess Xiao Yu, this smart woman obtained the divorce papers with King Yu as early as the day before King Yu's rebellion. Without thinking about it, she left Prince Yu's Mansion and set up a female household in Beijing.

Some courtiers thought it was inappropriate, so they wrote to ask Xie Lin to deal with this woman.

But Xie Linbi just glanced at the other party and said: "If Aiqing can deliver 500 million taels to the treasury every year, it's fine for me to deal with this girl."

It was also after this that Princess Xiaoyu's ability to do business gradually appeared in front of everyone, and the ministers of the aristocratic family were stunned.

The Empress Dowager did not survive late autumn, but the old man looked calm when he left, and there was nothing in the world that he could not let go of.

Because of the empress dowager's departure, the concubines of Emperor Jin Yuan who were still in the palace had no reason to stay in the palace forever.

Those who are low-ranking, have no heirs, and their natal families have no skills, so they can only be cut off and become nuns. They will stick to the imperial tomb for the rest of their lives. Among them, the former favorite concubine He Huipin seems to be among them.

But she was not reconciled.

What she wants has always been glory and wealth!How could he end up as a nun with shaved hair? !

He Huipin anxiously asked the palace servants to deliver letters outside the palace, one for the He family and one for the Bai family.The He family's letter came back very quickly, and only then did He know that her elder brother had made a big mistake in the officialdom and had already been dismissed from his post. The family really couldn't help her now.

The letter to the Bai family came back a little late.

The letter was written by Bai Xingyi, the current head of the Bai family. It probably said that her younger sister He Shi was seriously ill in bed, and she was afraid that she would die soon. Later, she wrote that the Bai family was just a small lord's house now. To give her some silver to go on the road, nothing else would help.

He Huipin didn't believe it.

"I have a son, I have a son!"

On the day of leaving the palace, He Huipin was insane, grabbed the guard's arm and said, "It's that bitch, Concubine Gui, who stole my son! Son! That's mine!"

And her companion, Wan Youlan, who wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum with her, kept saying, "I am the queen! I am the queen! You can't treat me like this. I want the emperor. Where is the emperor?" , why didn't he come to pick me up?"

"The concubine and the nobleman don't go crazy again!" The guards tied them up with ropes, and there was no other emotion on their indifferent faces.

Not far away, the precious concubine whose son had just been named the king of the county drove past in a sedan chair. She was about to leave the palace with her son and live in the prince's mansion.

"Bitch! Bitch!" He Guiren yelled.

Wan Youlan didn't know what to think of, and she looked mad and fierce: "It's that bitch! He stole everything from me!"

The precious concubine could vaguely hear the sound, but she didn't turn her head. She chatted and laughed with the nurse beside her: "The sun is so windy that I feel like I'm hallucinating. Who is yelling?"

The nanny smiled and said, "It's probably some ignorant maid who made a mistake and is being punished."

The precious concubine smiled lightly: "That's how it is."

The Empress Dowager passed away, and while the Empress Dowager's concubines feared for their own future, only Xie Xiaowei wept hoarsely for the old man.

No one knew that the Empress Dowager loved him the most during her lifetime, and it was the first time for a child to face the death of someone close to him, almost as if the sky had fallen.

For this reason, Bai Guo ignored Xie Lin, moved from Qinzheng Hall to Siyuan Hall where Xie Xiao lived, and slept with his youngest son for a whole month, until His Majesty came to arrest him personally.

"Follow me back to Qinzheng Palace." Xie Lin grabbed Bai Guo's wrist.

Bai Guo worried: "No, Zai Zai is afraid, what should I do?"

Xie Lin's expression was gloomy, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The slaves in the palace are accompanying him, what is he afraid of?"

Bai Guo hesitated: "But the Empress Dowager just left, and Zai Zai is still young, so I don't worry."

Xie Lin was silent for a while, and slowly said: "The admonisher is urging me again when I go to court today."

Bai Guo was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"They said that I don't have many children, so I should welcome new people into the palace." Xie Lin stared straight at Bai Guo, "Although I rejected them on the spot, but now I feel..."

"Your Majesty, do you regret it?" Bai Guo's heart tightened, and a vinegary taste rose in his throat.

"No." Xie Lin shook his head, picked up Bai Guo, and said confidently, "I just think that the queen should share my worries and perform her duties..."

Bai Guo kicked her legs in panic, exposing Xie Lin's neck, and asked at a loss, "Wh, what is your duty?"

"Of course it is to expand the harem for me." Xie Lin lowered his eyes, a smile appeared in his majestic and steady dark eyes, "Please ask the queen to give Zhan'er and Zai Zai more siblings, okay?"
