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

After hearing Gu Jianchu's complaints, Xie Ci'an had an even worse impression of General Zhang.

Others whispered quietly about General Zhang's actions.

Lord Tang and Madam Tang wanted to drown the couple with their spit, but they finally held back because it was a palace banquet.

Yang hurriedly grabbed General Zhang's hand and whispered, "General, you're picking fish bones for me and picking up spareribs for me. Sister will be angry if she sees this."

Yang said this, but her eyes looked in Tang's direction provocatively.

General Zhang looked up and glanced at Yang across from him, sneering, "You're really kindhearted. She didn't even accept you and wouldn't let you in, so why are you worrying about her? She gets angry easily, that's just her narrow-mindedness."

Although the two families were sitting opposite each other, they were close to each other. General Zhang did not deliberately lower his voice, and the three people from the Tang family heard it.

Lord and Madam Tang's faces turned the color of pig liver. In her anger, Madam Tang lost her grip on the teacup and spilled water all over herself. She immediately looked at the palace servant standing not far behind her and whispered, "Could you please take me to the side hall to deal with my clothes?"

Gu Jianchu specifically asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clear out the side hall in case of emergency for those who came to attend the palace banquet.

The palace maid immediately took Tang to the side hall to deal with the clothes.

[No wonder this woman has General Zhang so hooked. This man doesn't have the ability to identify a green tea girl, and this one is a high-level green tea girl.]

"General Zhang's words are disgusting. You did something yourself, yet you insist on having the Tang family accept it, and even then, they'll treat you with such a good face. It's a bit of an insult."

Tang is a bit of a pushover. If it were me, I wouldn't care if this was a palace banquet or not. I'd just throw a glass of water in their faces. If I can get through with it, I'll just let it go. If not, I'll just divorce them in front of the Emperor. Besides, this whole thing was General Zhang's fault in the first place. With so many civil and military officials, they'd have to be completely confused about right and wrong to side with Yang. Anyone with a clue would know whose fault it is.

Even if the ministers couldn't tell right from wrong, their wives would definitely side with the legal wives, which would then directly bring disgrace upon General Zhang and the Yang family, making it impossible for them to stay in the capital.

Xie Ci'an: But this seems not enough.

Yang leaned over to General Zhang's ear and whispered, "General, I want to go tidy up my dress."

"Do you want me to go with you?" General Zhang asked worriedly.

Yang said with a coquettish look, "I'm just going to tidy up my dress. There's no need to trouble you to follow me. If you're worried, you can come and pick me up later. I can finish it in a cup of tea."

"Okay." General Zhang personally helped Yang up and carefully instructed the palace servants behind him. Fearing that the palace servants would neglect Yang, he stuffed a handful of money into the palace servants' pockets.

The eunuch who received the money immediately stuffed it into his sleeve while no one was paying attention. "Don't worry, General Zhang, I will definitely serve this lady well. There will definitely be no accidents."

After saying this, the young eunuch walked beside Yang and led the way.

There was nothing fun to watch, and Gu Jianchu was just about to lower his head to eat something when he found a steamed sea bass with its bones picked out in front of him. Not only had the bones been picked out, but even the skin had been peeled off, leaving only the snow-white fish meat.

What was placed in front of Xie Ci'an was a whole fish bone and the fish skin that had been peeled off.

Xie Ci'an actually picked out all the fish bones for her, which surprised Gu Jianchu.

Gu Jianchu came close to Xie Ci'an and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, your concubine will not get a sore throat when eating fish."

"Well, I was just bored, so I picked it out." Although Xie Ci'an's tone was light, his eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness.

Even though she had been with Xie Ci'an for such a long time and they knew each other well enough, after hearing Xie Ci'an's words, the little deer in her arms still felt her heart beating like thunder and her cheeks flushed slightly.

While Gu Jianchu was eating the fish in small bites, he did not forget to find out some gossip.

Eating melon and fish together is the most delicious.

The more the Minister of the Central Secretariat looked at the third-place winner on his list of chosen sons-in-law, the more satisfied he became.

[The third place winner has now entered the Hanlin Academy. Although his position is not very high, he works very hard every day. The Minister of the Central Secretariat has noticed this and even extended an olive branch. As long as he works hard, he can help him adjust his position in the future to facilitate his climb to a higher level.]

Upon hearing this, the third place winner was naturally overjoyed. Having a reliable supporter in the imperial court was extremely important. He now diligently visited the Minister of the Central Secretariat's home every day, bringing various pastries and little girl-friendly gadgets to cheer up the Minister of the Central Secretariat's daughter.

[Although this daughter is not a legitimate daughter, she is very much loved by the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the old lady of the mansion.]

[Even if she was a concubine's daughter, being able to take advantage of the opportunity to gain a relationship with the Minister of the Central Secretariat would be worth it for the third place winner.]

[This brazen move by the third place winner is exactly like what happened when General Zhang kept running to my house. Furthermore, this third place winner is not a good person. The body of his wife, whom he beat to death, is still warm.]

[The Minister of the Central Secretariat is flawless as an official, but his judgment of people is truly poor. He abandoned his wife and favored a concubine, disrupting the peace of the household. As for the son-in-law he chose, while he has some talent and good looks, he's not a good person. He's too lazy to stop this kind of thing, and should just let them suffer a little and learn a lesson.]

Gu Jianchu quickly ate up all the fish on the plate.

Xie Ci'an then brought over a bowl of bird's nest, "I asked the imperial kitchen to cook it for you to nourish your body."

"The emperor treats me so well." Gu Jianchu imitated Yang's expression and said.

Xie Ci'an was quite pleased with Gu Jianchu's appearance and wanted to raise his hand to touch him, but he finally held back because of Gong Yan.

Halfway through eating the bird's nest, Gu Jianchu suddenly screamed.

【Ahhh, do you have to be so exciting? 】

Because Xie Ci'an was too close to Gu Jianchu, he felt like his eardrums were about to burst.

He couldn't help rubbing his ears.

What could be more exciting?

Yang wasn't actually tidying up her clothes. Instead, she saw Tang leave and deliberately followed to provoke the original wife. I'd call her a top-tier green tea shrew.

[Yang's goal was not to become a concubine.]

Yang wanted to take the throne directly, replacing Tang. She deliberately used her unborn child to bring up the matter of a concubine with General Zhang. Although General Zhang disliked Tang, he absolutely could not divorce her. As for the concubine, given the character of the Tang family, there was no way they would agree. Not only the Tang family, but even Tang herself would not agree. Then, Yang added fuel to the fire, getting Tang to initiate a divorce with General Zhang, so that she could successfully take the throne.
