Chapter 347 Mother and child unite (one more)
”Don't do it!”
”Do not listen!”
”No way!”
”Unless Ai Jia is dead!”
In the bedroom of Renshou Palace, Queen Mother Zhuang, who had listened to Gu Jiao’s suggestion, refused without thinking, and there was no room for maneuver.
Gu Jiao groaned weirdly.
Knowing my aunt for so long, the first time I was rejected so thoroughly.
In fact, she didn't do anything, just relayed the words of her grandfather and asked her to put aside her prejudices and work with the emperor to bring out the people behind the scenes.
It seems that my aunt seems to be dissatisfied with Grandpa’s proposal.
”Eat three more candied fruits every day?” Gu Jiao threw out sugar-coated cannonballs.
”Huh!” The Queen Mother was unmoved.
”Four?”
”Hmm...five?” Gu Jiao measured her five fingers.
Queen Mother Zhuang defended her position, seemingly to prevent Gu Jiao from using sugar-coated cannonballs to smash her defenses. She went to the study without looking back.
”Sigh.” Gu Jiao sighed.
Gu Jiao walked out slowly, came to the courtyard of the front hall, and sat down on the lone swing stand.
How lively is Xiaojingkong when he is here, how deserted he is when he is away.
There is not much coolness on the night in July, and the heat is still full, but because of successive rains, it is not as sultry as the previous days.
Gu Jiao sat on the swing stand, sighing boredly on the swing.
Duke Qin clinging to the whisk and walked over: ”Girl Gu.”
Gu Jiao touched the ground with her toes, and stopped the swing which was swinging around.
”Duke Qin.” She said hello.
Duke Qin stood still by the swing stand, looked at Gu Jiao, and then at the boundless night.
It was the first time he saw Gu Jiao in his mind. He regarded her as a little girl who didn't understand the rules and did not know the heights of the sky. After some contact, he found that he was wrong.
Where is this girl who doesn’t understand the rules and does not know the height of the sky? She clearly stepped on the rules and punched a hole in the sky.
She has the calmness that does not belong to girls of the same age, and she also has the childlike innocence that girls of the same age have long abandoned.
She doesn't have so many sloppy intestines, nor so many worldly burdens. She wants to be good to a person, that is, to be good to a person regardless of the cost, without the slightest reservation or suspicion.
Regardless of whether that person is good or evil.
She has her own beliefs and is so firm that no one can easily shake her.
The thin and small body somehow seems to contain infinite power, reassuring power, and power that makes people want to be close.
Occasionally, Duke Qin would think, if the original Majesty could be as firm and convinced as Miss Gu, would he not go where he is with the Queen Mother?
”Your Majesty was very clingy when he was a child. He was very clingy to the queen mother, and even Princess Biningan was clingy to the queen mother.”
Duke Qin said, as if recalling something interesting, he laughed, ”The old slave remembers one time... the queen mother brought a dealer's little son over. It was the little son who didn't know the way and was caught by Concubine Liu Gui. The dog was frightened, and the queen mother refused to hug him, so she took him by her hand. But her Majesty was jealous for this. He didn’t eat well at night, and he refused to sleep well at night, lying on the bed tossing and irritating him. But just don't say what's wrong with me.
Tsao Jing asked him, is it uncomfortable? He didn't say a word. Princess Ning An also asked him, he just sulked and didn't speak. ”
Gu Jiao's expression is hard to express, and Xiao Jingkong is not so naive.
”Then, what happened later?” Gu Jiao asked.
Duke Qin recalled with a smile: ”Later, Princess Jing sent people to the Queen Mother’s palace, which is the Kunning Palace where Queen Xiao now lives. His Majesty climbed onto the Queen Mother’s bed and slept with the Queen Mother for one night, and the next day he was alive and kicking. Up.”
Gu Jiao pouted her mouth, her childishness died.
Gu Jiao said, ”How old was your Majesty then?”
Duke Qin thought for a while: ”Let’s look like seven or eight years old. I don’t remember the details of the old slave. It’s a bit smaller than the Seventh Prince now, and not as fat as the Seventh Prince. Don’t look at the height of the current Majesty. Like a skinny monkey, he looks like he is only five years old when he is seven years old. For a time, the Queen Mother thought that her Majesty would not grow tall in the future.
is similar to Xiaojingkong. It seems that she doesn't need to worry too much about Xiaojingkong's size. Some people really start to grow upwind when they are older.
”What's next?” Gu Jiao thought this story was quite interesting.
Qin Gonggong sighed, ”Later, your Majesty and the Queen Mother are slowly estranged for some reason. The old slave can't tell exactly where it started. In short, the relationship between the two is getting more and more stiff, and Princess Ning'an is caught in the middle. Difficult. After your majesty ascended the throne, the queen mother listened to politics, and sent the concubine Jing to the nunnery, and the relationship between the two was completely shattered.”
sounds very sad.
Gu Jiao can't understand too complicated emotions, but she substitutes Xiaojingkong and herself. If one day Xiaojingkong hates herself for another person, then she will be sad and sad too.
Emotion is the most wonderful thing in the world. It has nothing to do with blood. Just as a family, you can't lose this person.
”Auntie and Concubine Jing are the same?” Gu Jiao asked.
Duke Qin nodded, the queen mother used to be sincere as her friend with Concubine Jing Jing, but who didn’t look away when she was young?
The enemy’s attack is not terrible. The betrayal from the most trusted person is the real pain.
Gu Jiao paused, and asked, ”Auntie is such a smart person, can't take your Majesty back from that person?”
Duke Qin shook his head helplessly: ”It's not that I can't help but I don't want to think of a solution. Once my heart is chilled, it doesn't matter.”
”Is... Is it true that sorrow is more than heart-death?” Gu Jiao looked at Duke Qin and asked.
Duke Qin nodded: ”Yes, this is the reason.”
Gu Jiao probably has experienced this feeling. It feels that she no longer remembers it. There are only a few sounds and pictures left in the memory of childhood abandoned by her parents. She can look at them calmly without feeling the slightest pain. .
This is actually called numbness.
She was numb at a very young age, so she can be an agent of the organization and the coldest-blooded killer.
The Queen Mother Zhuang only experienced this until her middle age. She couldn't be completely numb, she could only try to make herself dead.
She is Zhuang Jinse, the most powerful queen dowager in Zhaoguo. She has her own pride. When she was a queen, she didn't bother to fight for favor with the harem. How can she fight for a man with Princess Jing now? Even if that man is his adopted son.
Gu Jiao understood. She held the rope of the swing and looked at Duke Qin, ”I see, thank you Duke Qin.”
She will not force her aunt to do what she does not want to do.
Since Grandpa's method didn't work, she came to think of other methods.
Duke Qin was secretly pleased that he was really a sensible child, not to mention that the queen mother loved her, he couldn't help but want to love her.
It's a pity that he is an eunuch, he has no abilities and can't hurt her.
Gu Jiao got up from the swing and went to the study of Queen Mother Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang was very angry when she looked at the Zhezi--someone under her hand was caught with dirty hands and feet. She was not a meritocracy monarch. After so many years of ups and downs in the harem and court, she deeply understood a truth. That means there is no fish when the water is clear.
She has always valued a person’s ability, and the strength of a person can accommodate the shortcomings of others. This is not to say that the people under her can do whatever they want.
Everything has a limit. You can't really kill people and set fires, nor can you unscrupulously fish and flesh the people to fill their desires. Everything has a limit, and she won't indulge and shelter her.
”One million taels of disaster-relief silver, 950,000 taels of greedy ink, and some people grab the handle and don't kill anyone!”
The Queen Mother coldly hummed and threw the folds into the pile of folds on the left hand side. These are the folds that can be presented to the emperor. With the emperor's temperament that can't rub the sand, she will definitely do it strictly.
”Auntie?”
A round head stuck out.
You can guess who it is without looking.
Empress Dowager Zhuang responded indifferently: ”What are you doing?”
Gu Jiao said: ”It's getting late, I'll go home first, you rest early.”
After that, she gently closed the door for her aunt.
”Hold on.” The Queen Mother faintly stopped her.
”Huh?” Gu Jiaofu pushed the door open again, her eyes rolled, and she stepped across the threshold, staring at the Queen Mother Zhuang with her phoenix eyes unblinking.
The Queen Mother took a booklet and said casually: ”Does the words just now count?”
”Which sentence?” Gu Jiao asked.
The Queen Mother cleared her throat: ”Just... the sentence with five stars!”
