Who else in this world can you trust wholeheartedly?
Princess Changping thought angrily and sadly, and found sadly that no matter how angry she was, she could not send the two maids back to the palace. Otherwise, where would Queen Mother Yu's face be?
As soon as the new emperor came to the throne, he gave Queen Mother Yu a show of strength. Queen Mother Yu, who had suffered a heavy loss, wanted to win back the city, so she turned her brains to the Gu family.
At this moment, if she makes a fuss with the Queen Mother Yu in a big way, it will undoubtedly tell everyone that the Queen Mother Yu is unkind. It will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Queen Mother Yu...
She must never do this!
Princess Changping turned her head and wiped the warm water droplets from the corners of her eyes with her hands. When she turned her head again, her expression became slightly calmer: "I'm sorry, Brother Qing. I can't blame you for this. I shouldn't lose my temper with you."
Gu Qing stretched out his hand and wiped away the remaining tears from Princess Changping's eyes. His voice was low and gentle: "Changping, if you believe me, then leave them both to me. I will not betray you, nor will I hurt my mother.
face."
Can she trust her husband?
Back then, the queen mother also trusted her father wholeheartedly. But later, the father still failed her mother.
In the past, Gu Qing had never had any other thoughts and did not dare to have any different intentions. Now that Empress Dowager Yu has taken the initiative to reward someone, once this opportunity is opened, will Gu Qing be able to treat her wholeheartedly in the future?
Princess Changping raised her eyes, looked at her husband, and said softly: "Okay, I believe you."
Gu Qing didn't seem to hear the uneasiness in Princess Changping's words. He smiled slightly and turned to look at the two palace maids: "Since you two are gifts from my mother, I want to put you in a safe place. Someone, please take care of them."
Take him to the inner house and place him there."
The two palace maids burst into tears of gratitude, kowtowed to express their gratitude, and then quietly retreated.
…
In fact, Princess Changping has seen this situation many times.
In the past, before the weddings of the princes, Queen Mother Yu would reward the maids in the palace. It was inconvenient for the princes to neglect the maids sent by their aunts, so they had to keep them in the inner palace. The princes and concubines were not happy to see the maids coming from the palace, and they could not disturb the Queen Mother Yu.
After kicking the palace maid out, I could only endure this sullen breath.
Sheng Hong's attitude was firm and he didn't pay any attention to the beauty in the palace. Xie Mingxi also never suffered from such idleness and sullenness.
But Zhao Changqing, Xiao Yuhan, Li Xiang, and Yin Xiaoxiao all endured it like this.
Never thought that she would have such a day.
Two hands gently held Princess Changping's shoulders. Princess Changping leaned into the warm and familiar embrace and whispered with tears in her eyes: "Brother Qing, the Queen Mother has really changed."
He only has power and status in mind, and he is driven by the desire for profit, and he acts more and more unscrupulously.
Her queen mother has completely transformed into the Queen Mother of Daqi.
Gu Qing sighed with pity and helplessness: "Changping, don't talk nonsense! My mother has always loved you the most. No matter what I do, I will always consider you. How can you be resentful towards your mother?"
There are still maids waiting here. If what Princess Changping said reaches the ears of Queen Mother Yu, there will definitely be a rift between mother and daughter.
Princess Changping bit her lips and swallowed back the words that came to her lips, her eyes glistening again.
Gu Qing whispered in Princess Changping's ear: "Changping, the princess's palace is so big, it's okay to raise two idle people. Why bother making trouble with the queen over trivial matters?"
"I will not touch those two palace maids. Jin'er is enough, I don't need any other heirs. The Gu family will also support my mother wholeheartedly."
Princess Changping was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Brother Qing, I believe you."
Gu Qing knew that Princess Changping didn't believe it, but he didn't explain much and just hugged Princess Changping gently.
At this moment, a girl in plain clothes rushed in like a storm: "Dad! What's going on with those two palace maids!"
The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, fair skin, dark eyes, and a high-spirited look. At this time, her face was full of anger and anger, and her big black eyes were almost burning with sparks.
This girl is none other than Gu Shujin.
Gu Shujin has grown up and is of marriageable age. However, not long after the death of Emperor Jian'an, several vassal princes were also executed. Gu Shujin had to observe mourning for her uncles for one year and wear plain clothes for one year.
Hearing that there were two more maids in the palace, Gu Shujin was quite angry and immediately came to ask: "Dad! Are you going to do something to disgrace your mother?"
Before Gu Qing could explain, Princess Changping looked over with a stern face: "How outrageous! Don't talk to your father like that."
Gu Shujin stamped her feet vigorously and said angrily: "I was worried about you, but you blamed me. That's all, I won't talk like this again in the future."
Princess Changping had to be patient and coaxed her daughter with kind words for a long time before she calmed down.
…
Naturally, the happenings in Princess Changping's mansion cannot be hidden from anyone who cares.
Xie Mingxi learned about this that night and couldn't help but sneer.
What a great Queen Mother Yu!
She really cares about nothing for the sake of power! Even Princess Changping, whom she loves the most, is still used as a chess piece!
Sheng Hong frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "The queen mother did this to win over the Gu family. In a few days, at the court meeting, Xiao Shangshu will give a memorial to the Queen, asking for the canonization ceremony. If the queen mother uses this trick, the Gu family will definitely meet
I appreciate it. When the time comes, the Gu family and the Yu family will submit a memorial to prevent and delay the canonization ceremony, which will be a big trouble."
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly, and she twitched the corners of her lips: "My mother wants to delay the time, and use this matter to make you and I bow our heads. The abacus is good, but if it is not enough, it depends on whether the Yu family and the Gu family are so capable."
"You sit on the dragon chair, so I should sit on the phoenix chair. No one can stop this."
After making the domineering declaration, Xie Mingxi looked at Sheng Hong, only to see Sheng Hong looking at her with an obsessed face and saying: "Mingxi, I really like your confident and confident look!"
Xie Mingxi rolled her eyes in a funny and angry way: "We are talking about business, why are you talking nonsense again?"
"This is nonsense." Sheng Hong came over shamelessly and said plausibly: "This is my heartfelt confession."
After some fun, the two hugged each other and whispered.
"Several vassal princes have committed serious crimes and are not qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum." Sheng Hong whispered: "I sent people to transport their coffins to a secluded place for burial."
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Sheng Hong and said, "This secluded place must be guarded by someone, so as not to rob the tombs of the little thieves and disturb the peace of several vassal kings after their death."
Sheng Hong understood instantly and nodded slightly.
When it was almost midnight, the two of them felt tired and went to the bed, hugging each other and falling asleep soon after.
Not long after she closed her eyes, there was a quick knock on the door. Xianghui's slightly panicked voice suddenly sounded: "Empress! Princess Ningxia committed suicide!"
