The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Gu Jianyue immediately reacted and smiled as she invited the two of them to the private room on the second floor of the embroidery workshop. "Tinglan, take care of things downstairs. I have something important to take care of."

Tinglan reacted the moment she saw the second young lady.

Gu Jianyue took people to the best private room on the second floor.

The private room is not as luxurious as other shops, but is more cozy. Hanging on the wall are framed embroidery and the wall is decorated with bamboo.

This kind of decoration will also make customers' eyes shine.

The private rooms upstairs are reserved for ladies and noble ladies of noble status to choose embroidery.

After leading the two to the private room, Gu Jianyue personally served tea and cakes. "Today, there are quite a lot of people coming. The people in the embroidery workshop are a little overwhelmed. I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty can forgive me."

"I didn't want to tell Your Majesty, so as not to make you worry about me. It's all my fault that my eldest brother was so careless that he told you about this matter and made you come all this way."

"We are a family. It's a bit strange for my sister to hide this from me." Gu Jianchu took Gu Jianyue's hand and looked at her carefully.

Ever since my sister divorced the Cao family and got away from her scumbag husband and her torturous mother-in-law, she looks much more energetic, has gained a lot of weight, and most importantly, is full of life.

Gu Jianchu slipped out a gold bar from her sleeve that she had specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and put it into Gu Jianyue's hand. "I didn't help much with your shop, sister. This is a small token of my appreciation."

The gold bar felt heavy in his hand. Gu Jianyue frowned and stuffed it back into Gu Jianchu's hand. "I can't take this. You need money everywhere in the palace. It's not easy to save a little money in the palace."

"My shop is already open. It won't be long before it's profitable, and the investment money will be less."

"I have already brought it to my sister. There is no reason for me to take it back. Just consider it as keeping it for me." Gu Jianchu immediately pushed it back.

Before the two sisters could continue to blame each other, there was a loud knock on the door of the quiet room, and Tinglan's voice was heard outside the door, "Young lady, please come out and take a look. The wife of the young general of the state protection and the wife of the minister of the central government are fighting."

Gu Jianyue was afraid that his sister's gold bars would be lost in this noisy environment, so he quickly put them away and apologized to the emperor and empress before leaving the private room.

As soon as Gu Jianyue came out, he asked the maid beside him with a gloomy expression, "What's going on?"

"The wife of the young Protector General and the wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat both fell in love with the same embroidered screen. Originally, the wife of the Protector General was planning to give the screen to the wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, after all, the position of Minister of the Central Secretariat was there. But who would have thought that the wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, after receiving the embroidered screen, would actually mock the wife of the Protector General."

"The wife of the young general who protects the country was originally a military general. She was so angry that she quarreled with the wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. She refused to give up the embroidered screen and it was taken back by her. After that, the two of them quarreled in the shop." Tinglan briefly repeated the whole story to Gu Jianyue.

Gu Jianchu, who was standing at the door, heard the conversation between the master and servant. In an instant, a sharp explosion sounded in his heart, rushing straight to Xie Ci'an's eardrums.

[Is this the wife of the young general who protects the country that I know? ]

It must be the young national defender general you know. There is only one such national defender general in the capital.

The old general was loyal and courageous, but he didn't expect that the young general who inherited the title was a hopeless person.

Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an with a burning gaze. The excitement in her eyes for watching the fun was already overflowing with words, but she had to suppress her inner excitement. "Your Majesty, I am worried that my sister can't handle it alone. Can I go out and take a look? If my sister is bullied by them, I can also help."

Xie Ci'an smiled indulgently, "I'll accompany you."

Gu Jianchu immediately pulled Xie Ci'an out of the private room. Gu Jianchu did not join the crowd, but stood in front of the fence in the corridor on the second floor, from where he could overlook the entire scene downstairs.

The quarrel between the two ladies attracted the attention of all the customers in the shop, except for a man in an indigo robe who was selecting embroidery without being affected at all.

Gu Jianchu, who was originally watching the fun, was attracted by the person who didn't fit in at first sight.

Even with just a side profile, Gu Jianchu quickly recognized the person.

When did Minister Lin return to Beijing? He actually came alone to select embroidery.

After being reminded by Gu Jianchu, Xie Ci'an noticed Minister Lin in the corner.

[Originally, these were chosen for a Hanlin Academy scholar. His birthday was coming up in a few days, and Minister Lin wanted to take this opportunity to select a few gifts for him. This way, they wouldn't be too conspicuous, but would still show his thoughtfulness.]

【Pure Love God of War, I cried to death. 】

Just after eating Minister Lin’s melon, Gu Jianchu was quickly distracted by the quarrel between the two ladies.

The woman in gorgeous scarlet clothes and beads on her head snatched the embroidery back in an instant, mocking and sneering, "Your husband doesn't come home every other day, who are you going to show this embroidered screen to?"

When Gu Jianchu saw the lady's appearance through the crowd, he immediately recognized the name.

The person who spoke was Zhou, the wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

As the queen, she naturally had to attend all the grand banquets in the palace, so she had met most of the noble ladies in the capital.

There doesn't seem to be any harm in getting to know more female relatives. At least you can see their faces while eating melons.

Xu, the wife of the young general who was against women, immediately laughed back, "How dare you say that to me? It's just that my husband doesn't come home often. Your husband took his cousin as a concubine, and the children they gave birth to are almost shitting on your head, and you still don't say a word."

"You..." Zhou was so angry at Xu that she gasped for breath, her chest heaving with anger.

[What's going on? How can they fight over an embroidered screen and then publicly expose each other's secrets?]

It turns out that Zhou and Xu had been sworn enemies since childhood. Their families were similar, and they lived in the same alley. They had always looked down on each other, often exposing each other's shortcomings and comparing themselves to each other. After they got married, their contact dwindled. However, Zhou's husband was very capable, rising rapidly to become the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Zhou felt proud of herself again, and often showed off in front of Xu.

[Luckily, Xu has a good temper, otherwise Zhou wouldn't even know how she got beaten.]

Xu ignored Zhou, who was already furious, and snatched the embroidered screen back. "If you took it home, it would have been snatched away by the concubines in the mansion, so you should give it to me. At least no one in the General Protector's Mansion will compete with me for it."

After Xu finished speaking, the smile on her lips became even more intense.

[The wife of the young general who protects the country knows how to kill people and destroy their hearts.]

[These two people may not be attracted to the embroidered screen, but they just want to steal each other's things and make the other person unhappy.]

Zhou was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him.

But before the slap landed, Gu Jianyue appeared in time, grabbed the wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat's wrist, and slowly pressed her hand down, "Madam Tang, calm down."
