At the fourth watch of the day, Eunuch Mu Ru led the imperial troops to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. He put on his dragon robe, washed and tidied up, and then returned to the palace to prepare for the morning court.
Yu Wenhao couldn't get up today and planned to take leave. There must be a dispute in the palace today and he couldn't go. However, he sent Tang Yang to take people to the palace gate to inquire. Now he can enjoy himself in the palace. Gu Si will send someone to deliver the news to his people.
Go to the palace gate.
After a while, a piece of news came back. The chief minister petitioned for the decree to be revoked, but the emperor did not agree.
The news came back soon, and the ministers seconded the proposal to abolish the post, but the emperor still did not agree.
After a while, the news came back, saying that the chief assistant took people to kneel outside the imperial study room to beg for his abolition, but the emperor did not say whether he agreed or not.
At noon, Gu Si left the palace and went straight to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. He said that he had not abolished the queen, but instead took the queen's treasure book, deprived the queen of all honors, and only retained the queen position. The year and salary specifications were still retained, but she moved to Fangming Palace.
Fangming Hall was the residence of unfavored concubines in the past dynasties. Basically, it was impossible for Emperor Ming Yuan to enter Fangming Hall.
Moreover, all the people around Empress Chu were removed, and no one was left. The imperial concubine and the inner palace arranged for people to come in and serve them all.
Gu Si shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This happened, and no one asked for mercy."
"Who dares to plead for mercy? It was the chief minister who asked for the abolition of the queen." Yu Wenhao said.
Yu Wenhao felt that the queen would not be abolished. This result was within his expectation. They had been husband and wife for decades, and they may not have feelings for each other, but they always wanted to retain the face, and at the same time, they also retained the face of the chief minister. They just regained the title of queen.
Quan, arrange a new group of people to go in, she can't do it anymore, it doesn't pose much threat to the Chu family, so it can be said that she can explain the past.
Gu Si was a little sentimental. He had been in the palace for a long time. In fact, the queen was not that bad. Compared with the virtuous concubine, the queen's rank was really too low. She had also been tolerant of it before, but the throne, as long as there was still a little bit left,
Hope, who can really see through it? Especially after several pretentious attempts, the imperial concubine jumped up to her. As a queen, she still had to look at the imperial concubine's face. How could she be willing to do so?
Since Princess Qi became pregnant, she felt that she had seen hope again, so she kept struggling like this.
The struggle for imperial power will never end, which is really sad.
"Two days later, Ping'er said that he would come and stay for a few days to stay with the Crown Princess," Gu Si said.
"That's fine!" Yu Wenhao said.
Yuan Qingping has rarely left the mansion since she gave birth to her child. There are many things going on in the Gu family. After she gave birth to her sister, she began to gradually help take care of the affairs in the mansion. However, she also encountered many setbacks.
Because she was waiting for her father to do those things, she was also discriminated against in the Gu family.
Yuan Qingping was very competitive and was unwilling to tell Gu Si these things. In addition to being on duty, Gu Si occasionally helped Yu Wenhao with errands and was so busy that she couldn't bear to worry him.
Fortunately, she was indeed a courageous person, and the house was almost completely tidied up. She just took a breather and came over to accompany her sister during the pregnancy.
On the day when the Queen entered the Mingfang Hall, she didn't shed a single tear. She sat alone in the hall for a long time, watching as no one came to see her. They mocked her for not coming, and no one came to comfort her. She seemed to have deserted everyone all at once.
.
Fortunately, in the evening, Princess Wenjing came and helped her tidy up her clothes. The mother and daughter looked at each other and just sighed slightly.
"Did the queen mother make a mistake?" After a long time, the queen asked Princess Wenjing.
Princess Wenjing sat down and held her hand, looking at her aging eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose, "Mother, my daughter dare not say that you are wrong, but this may be a good thing. Grandpa is about to retire, you
If you are punished first, my father will still be somewhat tolerant of you. As long as you live peacefully in this palace from now on, my father will not embarrass you."
The queen looked disappointed, "The queen actually knows that your brother cannot be a prince. Compared with Lao Wu, he is too far behind."
