The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

He Jinyou also frowned and advised: "Rou'er, mother, what father said is right, you should not have unrealistic expectations. The position of the emperor's concubine is simply beyond our reach. Not to mention us, even the many young ladies of the imperial family in the imperial capital have no hope. However, you should not be discouraged. I have a few classmates who are good people. When I settle down in the imperial capital, I will find some for Rou'er."

"No, I don't want to marry those poor scholars! It's embarrassing to go out!" He Jinrou twisted her body with a look of disdain.

Now the emperor has only one queen, and the three palaces and six courtyards are empty, without a single concubine. As long as her brother passes the imperial examination, she will have the opportunity to enter the palace and marry the emperor.

When she thought of Zhao Xiaoshi, oh no, Qi Yuanshuo's handsome face and his tall and strong body, her heart trembled.

If I could be his woman, share the same bed with him, and whisper in his ear, this life would be worth it.

Moreover, she would never be willing to live a worse life than Gu Qinghuai.

When she left Tuniu Village, she had ridiculed Gu Qinghuai for only being able to marry a mud-legged peasant and be a lowly peasant woman digging for food in the soil all her life, while she was going to the imperial capital to be an official's wife. She never expected that in the end Zhao Xiaoshi would become Emperor Yuanhuai and Gu Qinghuai would become the empress.

Gu Qinghuai is really lucky.

No matter what, she didn't want to be worse than Gu Qinghuai.

She's just a country widow, why are you pretending?!

Luo also said disdainfully: "Rou'er is right, those poor scholars are not worthy of our Rou'er, Rou'er will be the queen in the future."

"Shut up!" He Maoshi glared and shouted, gnashing his teeth and glaring at He Jinrou and Luo, "Luo, you are a bad parent and you don't know what's good for you! Rou'er, you have no self-awareness. If you two continue to act like this, you will definitely bring disaster to the whole family.

Since I have repeatedly warned you and you did not listen, then do not blame me for taking tough measures! I will write a letter of divorce when you get home, Luo! I will give you 500 taels of silver and you can go back to your parents' home.

However, I suggest that you do not go back to your mother's home, but buy a small house in Qinghe County to live in by yourself. Otherwise, the little money you have will be squeezed dry by your mother's family.

As for Rou'er, if you insist on competing with the Queen and speaking without restraint, then you should live with your mother, and I will support you until you get married!"

Luo was dumbfounded. She was stunned for a long time before she knelt down in front of He Maoshi and begged with tears, "Master, you... don't divorce me. I won't do this again. I... I will definitely have a good relationship with Gu Qinghuai and the others. I... I won't scold her anymore. Rou'er won't be the queen anymore. I will give her to Gu Qinghuai!"

He Lizheng covered her mouth in horror and scolded coldly: "I gave you many chances, but you didn't cherish them! Every time you said you wouldn't do it again, you always used the same old tricks again!

Xiao Huai... The Queen and her family have done nothing wrong to us. It's you and Rou'er who have been picking on others. You have evil intentions and don't know your own weight. You have to compete with others!

If we let you two continue to do whatever you want, Youer's future will be completely ruined and our whole family will be beheaded!

We have been in the capital for such a long time, haven't you seen that there are talented scholars and officials everywhere, and You'er has no background, how difficult is it for him to gain a foothold in the capital?

He read it with great difficulty, I will never allow you two to destroy it!"

He Jinrou also started crying. Although she was very resentful in her heart, she did not dare to show it.

She could see that her father was serious this time.

He Jinyou did not persuade He Maoshi either. He thought it was better for his parents to separate.

My mother has always been confused. Not only did she send the tofu recipe to her parents' home, she also kept taking things from her parents' home and treated her nephews better than she did them.

Moreover, if my mother were to insult the Empress like this without restraint and someone with ulterior motives heard it, my entire family would be subject to death penalty.

My mother can't control her mouth and is not suitable for living in the imperial capital. It would be better to send her back to her parents' home so that she can see with her own eyes how "good" her parents are to her.

He Jinyou leaned against the wall of the carriage and sighed helplessly.

Many times, he was completely unable to understand the train of thought of his mother and sister. He didn't know where they got the confidence from to look down on the Queen.

He tried to persuade the child many times but to no avail, so he left it to his father to handle.

The youngest, He Jinxuan, was also puzzled, mumbling, "Mother, sister, why do you hate Sister Xiaohuai so much? You insult her behind her back every day? Sister Xiaohuai is a very good person. When our family was poor, Sister Xiaohuai often gave me candy and was very kind to me. She even helped me when kids from other villages bullied me.

Sister, Xiao Huai is indeed prettier than you, and she is more profitable and smarter than you. This is the truth. Why don't you admit it? Is it so difficult to accept that someone is better than you?

However, everyone has their own strengths. You can appreciate her strengths, but there is no need to be jealous of her. For example, you embroider better than Sister Xiaohuai, who can't embroider."

He Jinrou glared and said angrily: "Yes, she is good and I am not, then let her be your biological sister!"

Luo also glared at He Jinxuan.

He Lizheng touched his youngest son's head with relief.

After returning home, no matter how Luo cried, made a fuss, or even threatened to hang herself, He Maoshi was determined to divorce her. He then sent several servants to escort Luo back to Qinghe County.

As for He Jinrou, he planned to find someone to marry her off as quickly as possible.

Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo naturally also received the report from the guards. They both knew that He Maoshi was blocked outside the door when he brought his family to attend the full moon banquet, but neither of them allowed the He family to enter the palace.

Of course, He Lizheng is an upright person, but his wife and daughter always target him for no reason and find fault with him. They are two short-sighted and self-righteous people. The existence of these two bad apples means that they are doomed to not be able to get close to the He family.

Besides, today is the full-month banquet for her five children, which is a big happy event. Gu Qinghuai doesn't want those hideous people to ruin this beautiful atmosphere.

In the hall, guests gathered, and ministers and their families presented gifts to the five little princes. On the high platform, Qi Yuanshuo and Gu Qinghuai were both dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting side by side on the dragon throne, both of them were outstanding in appearance and noble.

Qi Yuanshuo still held Gu Qinghuai's hand tightly and looked at her with affectionate eyes, which made the other female relatives envious.

The five little princes were held by five wet nurses and sat below the two men.

The Gu family, the Meng family, Shu Mingzong and others in the audience were all extremely proud.

The guests who came forward to present gifts looked at the appearance of the little princes with smiles on their faces and praised them non-stop.

The guests naturally tried to please, but the five little princes were really very good-looking, with fair and tender skin, delicate features like jade, thick hair, black and watery eyes, and rosy little lips. They were even cuter than the dolls in New Year pictures.

When the banquet was halfway through, Emperor Yuan Huai left his seat with Empress Yuan Zun and the five little princes, leaving the rest to the master of ceremonies.

The little princes were taken care of by palace maids and wet nurses, while Qi Yuanshuo couldn't wait to carry Gu Qinghuai back to the bedroom.
