"Yes, the empress taught me a lesson..." Empress Shen buried her head and clenched her hands a little bit, "Then after watching the ceremony, the servant will be the host of the banquet. As for the Rouyi Hall, the banquet has not yet officially opened. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the concubine."

"Ok."

The queen mother nodded at this time, barely forgiving.

It's just that Lu Jinxi was beside him, but he could hear something.

The rumors are true.

The Empress Dowager's remarks revealed both her dissatisfaction with Empress Shen and her dissatisfaction with Wei Yi, the virtuous concubine.

Thinking that she was the queen mother, she felt that she was the most honorable woman in the harem.

Empress Shen was born in a small family, her temperament and methods were average, and she couldn't hold back others, so she was dissatisfied; Wei Yi, a virtuous concubine, was one of the things she acted flamboyantly and her methods were too much. happiness.

Rumor has it that when the Queen Mother was still Concubine Duan, she was very unloved.

The first queen, Wei Chang, was in charge of the seal management of the six palaces. She was a woman with very powerful means, but she did not like Concubine Duan very much, and took care of her more.

The current virtuous concubine Wei Yi is the niece of the first empress Wei Chang, how could Empress Dowager Ji like it?

As the saying goes, three women in one show is true.

Lu Jinxi thought nothing of his own business, but didn't say a word, as if the one who was sitting here was not the shrewd, long-sleeved and dancer Lu Jinxi, but the cowardly and timid Mr. Lu who didn't dare to speak.

No way, she really doesn't have a cold for the women in the harem.

Thinking utilitarianly, whether it's the queen mother or the queen, they look like A Dou who can't help her. It's useless to her and can't bring her any benefits.

So, why bother with that god?

She only moved her gaze to the desk, showing a subtle polite smile from time to time to show that she was still listening.

This appearance did not arouse suspicion.

After all, she was no different from when she entered the palace a long time ago, and even Princess Yongning didn't notice anything unusual.

At about three o'clock, a little eunuch ran over from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, got close to Princess Yongning's ear, and said a word softly.

Princess Yongning's brows suddenly raised, and Wei Yi's phoenix eyes showed a bit of surprise.

Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, his brows furrowed, and he waved his hand hesitantly: "Go ahead."

"Yes."

The little eunuch bowed and left again.

Everyone present saw this scene.

Lu Jinxi is the niece of the eldest princess of Yongning, and she is smart, so she just looked at it and didn't ask.

Only Empress Dowager Ji was her mother, and after the little eunuch left, she asked strangely, "But what happened to the top?"

At this time, the ministers have not yet come to court.

The little eunuch happened to be coming from the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the previous dynasty. With the knowledge of the court, the Empress Dowager Ji guessed the right direction almost immediately.

The fact is that something happened.

only……

Princess Yongning's frowning did not loosen, and for some reason, she glanced at Lu Jinxi inexplicably, and then said: "Nothing happened to the top, but isn't the kenke exam going to start? The emperor thought about Gu Juefei as the examiner. Originally, not many people opposed it, but I didn't expect that the old lady actually opposed it."

"what?"

Empress Dowager Ji was suddenly surprised, and felt very unexpected.

Gu Chengqian is the real hero who helped Xiao Che ascend to the throne, which is much better than that of Taifu Wei who had to nod his head under the pressure.

Because of this relationship, Empress Dowager Ji is also very attractive to the Gu family.

Not to mention Gu Juefei.

The eldest son of the Gu family is also the proudest son of Gu Chengqian. He is a talented person, and he used to walk around the palace. He is considered a close friend of the current emperor Xiao Che.

In fact, he entered the Hanlin Academy as Tanhua for six years, and because he was not in the capital, he did not do all kinds of investigations.

But those who were in the same year as him are now officials in the upper class.

"Gu Chengqian is not confused, right?"

The more Empress Dowager Ji thought about it, the more inconceivable she felt, but she suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"Gu Juefei has not been easy for the past six years. After finally coming back, isn't it just to take over his burden and support the Gu family? And it's not like he can try it out.

President

Officer, just an ordinary examiner. With Gu Juefei's talent, no one can make irresponsible remarks. "

Who said it wasn't?

Everyone thought that when Gu Chengqian took the snow up the mountain and told Gu Juefei to go home, he should have thought he should go to work. Next, it should be to fully support this son, enter the court, and stand firm.

Therefore, the entire capital was so sensational back then.

But now, with such a perfect opportunity, and the emperor himself put forward some points for the examiner, Gu Chengqian turned it down?

Even Princess Yongning felt incredible.

It can't be because of Xue Kuang's troubles, can it?

It shouldn't be.

Gu Chengqian knew about this six years ago, and he still invited Gu Juefei to come back six years later, proving that he has passed this hurdle in the end, and no longer agrees with him in his heart, but he really needs him.

but now……

Don't you want to fight against the emperor for no reason? Isn't this all about fighting against Gu Juefei, not wanting him to enter the court smoothly, and not wanting him to be in power?

For a time, Princess Yongning remembered the "rumor" she heard a while ago, and the day after she returned to the Yuewei Museum, Gu Chengqian fell ill.

Externally, just said that was not in good health.

But the eldest princess Yongning knew that the doctors said after the diagnosis and treatment that it was irritating and angry.

As for Gu Juefei, he didn't leave the house for a while.

Later, he went to the school to teach Xue Chi and the others, but his face was pale and his body still smelled of bitter medicine.

Is it related to Xue Chi?

Or, apart from that, what other taboos did Gu Juefei commit?

The father and son...

When Princess Yongning thought about this, she also felt a little complicated, and she only said: "Who can guess the mind of the old master? It is probably because of the second son. I heard that his second son, Gu Yijian. I will also participate in the conference this year. They are brothers and should avoid suspicion."

"That makes sense..."

Empress Dowager Ji listened, seemed to accept this reason, and nodded slowly after thinking.

Lu Jinxi also listened to the same words.

only……

This reason really cannot convince her.

A young and unknown Gu Yijian, why should he compare with Gu Juefei?

For Gu Yijian's imperial examinations, to cut off Gu Juefei's future is simply putting the cart before the horse.

How could Taishi Gu not be able to weigh the benefits of this once he was slaughtered?

She slowly raised her eyes and glanced at Princess Yongning, but secretly thought about the meaning of this incident, but her mind suddenly flew away——

The Qingyun Road paved in front of him was blocked by the people closest to him...

Gu Juefei, how should you feel?

Chapter 82 Curves to save the country

"Retreat—"

A resounding singing came from the High Hall of Supreme Harmony, pulling back her thoughts.

Empress Dowager Ji, who was sitting first, was still talking to Princess Yongning and Empress Shen, so Lu Jinxi realized that she had been distracted for a while.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

When the voice of "retreat" came, Empress Dowager Ji and the others naturally stopped talking and looked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

From their position, they could just see the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The ministers filed out from the door, all dressed neatly, but the expressions on each person's face were different.
