Chapter 600: A Transaction

Empress Dowager Xiao was sullen.

Even though she was annoyed by Princess Chaoyang, she didn't feel good about Empress Pei and Gu Jiu.

"I'm exhausted, both of you should retreat."

Empress Dowager Xiao looked like she didn't want to talk anymore.

Empress Pei and Gu Jiu resigned, left the Cining Palace, and returned directly to Weiyang Palace.

Empress Pei was in a happy mood, and just in time for noon, she ordered the palace servants to go to the school to bring the two brothers Yugeer and Zhenggeer to Weiyang Palace for lunch.

"Boss daughter-in-law, you stay here too, go back after lunch. I know that you are worried about Brother Yu, so I will ask you to take a closer look at how he eats and studies at noon today."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Gu Jiu accepted Empress Pei's love.

Empress Pei has helped her a lot today.

As everyone knows, Empress Pei is also excited.

Of course it was not because of helping Gu Jiu, but because of Liu Zhao's promise.

Yesterday, Liu Zhao went to the palace to pay his respects, and the mother and son chatted behind closed doors.

Liu Zhao had just one request, if Princess Chaoyang does not enter the palace, it is fine. If she enters the palace, Empress Pei will stand up and spare no effort to suppress Princess Chaoyang, and persuade Queen Mother Xiao to protect Gu Jiu.

As long as Empress Pei keeps her promise, Liu Zhao will also keep her promise. He will support his uncle's family.

Liu Zhao is not just one uncle of Marquis Lu, he has several uncles.

It's just that Lu Hou is the most capable of all uncles.

Empress Pei and Marquis Lu are half brothers and sisters.

However, Empress Pei also has a brother with a mother who is not very successful. In Pei's family, where there are many talents, it looks very inconspicuous.

Even if Mrs. Pei became the queen, it would be difficult for her brothers to succeed.

Empress Pei was naturally not reconciled to her brother being suppressed by other brothers headed by Luhou.

She wanted to stand up for her brother, but she was worried about Emperor Wende and Lu Hou's attitude, so she never dared to make big moves.

This time she stood up for Gu Jiu and teamed up to suppress Princess Chaoyang. Then next, Liu Zhao has to follow his promise to pull his uncle out.

Empress Pei is still very convinced of Liu Zhao's ability.

He said that it would be no problem to pull out his uncle.

Ever since, Empress Pei will look at Gu Jiu now, no matter how she looks at her.

He was always smiling, and had a very amiable attitude.

When the two brothers Yu Ge'er and Zheng Ge'er arrived, Empress Pei even yelled at each good-looking grandson.

He picked up the two children and kissed and kissed again.

Brother Yu sneaked back and dodged, the grandmother's body smelled very strong, and she didn't know how much powder she had put on.

He looked at Gu Jiu innocently.

Gu Jiu blinked at him.

Brother Yu: "..." Hey, life is so hard! He is still so young, he has to bear so much, so hungry!

Empress Pei finally fulfilled her wish to spoil her grandson with a look of satisfaction.

The whole person exudes youthful vitality, as if seven or eight years younger.

"Eat more, it's time to grow your body, you can't be hungry. Brother Zheng, why are your sleeves dirty? Did you fight with someone again?"

Liu Zheng, who was gnawing on a pig's trotter, said, "Grandson, my grandson didn't fight. My grandson accidentally got ink, and my second brother can testify."

After finishing speaking, he even winked at Brother Yu.

Brother Yu was gnawing on the chicken leg.

He looked blank at first, then put down the drumstick, wiped his fingers, and said in a childlike voice: "Brother writes wildly, and is often stained with ink."

Liu Zheng suddenly laughed triumphantly, it was still Yu Geer who was interesting enough.

Empress Pei was curious, "Why do you write wildly?"

Brother Yu, who was about to continue gnawing on the chicken legs: "..." I seem to be even hungrier!

He stood up, put his hands on the table, and stepped on the stool with one foot, imitating the way Liu Zheng wrote.

"The grandson only learned three points of the essence of the big brother, don't be disgusted by the grandmother."

Empress Pei couldn't help laughing.

Liu Zheng's face turned green, and he wiped his mouth, "Second brother, when did I write like this? Don't talk nonsense."

Brother Yu looked pure and innocent, "Oh! Yesterday you tripped..."

"That's right, that's how I write occasionally." Liu Zheng grinned, a very bright smile. He hurriedly interrupted Brother Yu, oh my god, he was almost betrayed by Brother Yu.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zheng begged pitifully: "Grandmother, please don't tell my father, he will beat me to death."

Empress Pei laughed, "I won't tell your father, but you can't write like this in the future, there are no rules."

Liu Zheng nodded obediently and said clever words, making Empress Pei laugh out loud.

Brother Yu: "..." I can finally eat in peace. Silently picked up the chicken leg and continued to chew.

Gu Jiu muffled a smile.

Brother Yu has a really good appetite.

She filled a bowl of soup and put it next to Brother Yu, "Eat slowly and drink more soup."

Brother Yu: "..." The chicken legs are delicious, and I want to eat another one. Yushanfang makes the best chicken drumsticks. But it's still not as good as Wangfu's fried chicken legs.

After lunch, Empress Pei sent the two children back to school.

Gu Jiu was also about to say goodbye and leave the palace.

Unexpectedly, someone came from Xingqing Palace.

"Your Majesty learned that Mrs. Zhao is in the palace, and specially ordered Mrs. Zhao to go to Xingqing Palace to talk."

Empress Pei reminded Gu Jiu, "Since His Majesty told you to come over and talk, you should come out of the palace later. Be careful when you speak, and don't make a fuss."

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for your reminder. My daughter-in-law will leave first."

"Go! Don't keep His Majesty waiting."

After resigning from Empress Pei, Gu Jiu went to Xingqing Palace.

...

"A bunch of things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, what do you eat?"

Just outside the gate of Zhengyang Hall, Gu Jiu heard Emperor Wende's roar.

The servant at the entrance of the main hall saw Gu Jiu and quickly waved his hand. Ask someone to take Gu Jiu to the side hall to wait.

The palace man lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Madam Zhao, please accompany me to the side hall to rest."

Gu Jiu nodded, and asked casually, "Who's inside?"

"The little one doesn't know!"

The servants of Xingqing Palace dare not talk nonsense. If you make a wrong sentence, you will lose your head.

Gu Jiu didn't make things difficult for the other party, and sat and waited in the side hall.

Xu Yousi asked in a low voice: "Madam, do you want this old slave to go out and inquire?"

Gu Jiu waved his hand to stop, "This is Xingqing Palace, you have enough heads to chop off. Don't do unnecessary things."

Xu Yousi trembled and became quiet.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, he finally waited for Emperor Wende to summon him.

She followed the servant to the main hall.

Huh?

The person who looks at the back is the Tax Cao of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Is the person who was scolded bloody in the hall before the household tax Cao?

Looks like someone is going to be unlucky.

Knowing that Emperor Wende was in a fit of anger, after entering the hall, Gu Jiu kept his eyebrows down. Even the voice of asking for peace was cautious.

"It's so rare, you're still afraid. Aunt Chaoyang, I respect her every day. You're quite courageous, and you just turned her back on. Since you have the courage to turn her back on, what are you afraid of? Is it possible? Can I eat you?"

As soon as Emperor Wende opened his mouth, he burst out, as if he had been shot. Every word uttered was tinged with violent anger.

Gu Jiu avoided his sharp edge, "I want to report to Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law was also in a daze at the time, and kept talking, and said everything outside. My daughter-in-law already knew she was wrong."

"Where did you know you were wrong? Come and listen to me, I just happen to have time now."

Emperor Wende sat down on the chair, and waited for Gu Jiu to speak to relieve his boredom, he was very happy.

Gu Jiu's expression was aggrieved and innocent, and her heart was filled with embarrassment.

It was because of eight lifetimes of bad luck that she encountered these bad things again and again. But he still can't resist clearly.

She thought for a while, and said: "My daughter-in-law has seriously reflected on it and made a deep self-criticism. She spoke too impulsively at the time, and she didn't consider that His Highness the Eldest Princess is old and can't stand the excitement.

It also didn't take into account that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is old and young, and when she gets old, her temper is as vengeful as a child's. Because of her daughter-in-law's inappropriate words and deeds, which caused criticism from the court, the daughter-in-law was willing to be punished. "

Emperor Wende clicked his tongue, yes! The level of the complaint is not bad, and I have some skills.

It is obvious that he is admitting his mistake, but he is actually suing Princess Chaoyang for bullying others and manipulating the censor for impeachment.

Emperor Wende sneered twice, "I knew you didn't really admit your mistake. I heard that you made Aunt Chaoyang cry in anger when you were in the Palace of Compassion, so it's true."

Gu Jiu looked regretful, "Daughter-in-law really didn't expect Her Highness the Eldest Princess to cry so easily throughout her life. Daughter-in-law is wrong. Daughter-in-law promises to stay away from her in the future and never lean close to her."

"It's too late! For a dispute between the two of you, I even sent out the Jinwu Guard."

"Daughter-in-law is at fault." Gu Jiu was very straightforward, it was right to admit his mistake anyway.

Emperor Wende stepped on the stool with one foot, and carried the desk with the other, like a local hooligan, "It's not enough to just know your mistakes, you have to have sincerity."

Gu Jiu: "..." Your Majesty, you are already a mature emperor, can you show some face. The morale of the court was almost ruined.

She was aggrieved, "I don't know what my daughter-in-law should do to be sincere."

Emperor Wende stretched out his hand, "Do you have a copy of the account book of Youcai Casino?"

Huh?

Gu Jiu was surprised.

She thought that Emperor Wende would shamelessly ask her for money, but she didn't expect to ask her for the account book.

Gu Jiu pretended to be stupid and was a little confused, "My daughter-in-law doesn't understand what the emperor means."

"I want the account book of Cai Casino, do you understand now?"

To understand is to understand.

But why did you ask her for the account book?

She is not a casino owner.
