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

Gu Jianchu waved his hand, and Zhu Xia and the others naturally left the hall. Gu Jianchu placed a Hu pancake on the plate in front of Xie Ci'an and said, "Your Majesty, please try it. It tastes really good. I even brought back an elbow for you."

Achu was still thinking about him after leaving the palace.

Xie Ci'an looked at Gu Jianchu's profile, a smile on his face, "Achu, do you want to eat some more?"

Gu Jianchu shook her head repeatedly, "No, I'm already full."

After Xie Ci'an ate a cake, he looked at Gu Jianchu who was standing beside him with a serious look on his face and said, "Your brother will be back in a few days."

"Brother, aren't you in Lingnan? Why did you come back out of nowhere?" Gu Jianchu asked suspiciously. It had been a month since she received a letter from her brother, and there had been no news from him during this period.

"General Gu has taken drastic measures. Not only have things in Lingnan been stabilized in the shortest possible time, but they are now on the right track. Your brother is coming back to report. He set out three days ago and it shouldn't take long to reach the capital by water. I'm telling you in advance just to make you happy." Xie Ci'an held onto Gu Jianchu's slender fingers and pulled him to sit on his knees.

Except for being a little fierce in bed, Xie Ci'an treated her very well in other matters.

"I haven't seen my brother for a long time." Gu Jianchu, Gu Jianbai and Gu Jianyue have been very close since childhood. Whenever Gu Jianbai goes out, he will bring them delicious food and fun things. Gu Jianchu and his brother Gu Jianbai are very close.

【There are melons. 】

Xie Ci'an frowned.

On his way back, Gu Jianbai encountered a woman who had escaped from marriage. She fainted in front of him. Seeing that she had a leg injury, Gu Jianbai personally took the girl to the inn to treat her injury. This is my brother's spring is coming.

[There won't be any problem with this girl.]

Gu Jianchu didn't really believe in such a coincidence.

She was truly an ordinary girl. She was the eldest daughter of a village in Lingnan. Forced by her family to marry someone she didn't like, she ran away. While being chased, she rolled down a hillside, dislocating her leg. After a doctor set her leg, it healed considerably. But Gu Jianbai seemed to be obsessed with her. She insisted on following him to Beijing, saying she wanted to see its prosperity. Having lived in the village since she was a child, she had always longed for the capital.

Gu Jianbai had never had much contact with girls since he was a child, and he couldn't stand the little girl's soft and hard persuasion, so he actually agreed to bring the girl to the capital.

[Gu Jianbai didn't know that the girl had run away from her marriage.]

【I really don’t know.】

My silly brother took the little girl aboard the government ship. The people from the village chased after them, but seeing the soldiers everywhere, they didn't dare to pursue them any further.

[I don’t know if it’s just bad karma.]

We can only find out whether it is a bad fate after returning to the capital.

After dinner, Gu Jianchu accompanied Xie Ci'an to the Imperial Garden for a walk before coming back to rest.

After leaving the palace secretly, Gu Jianchu was kept in Chuigong Hall by Xie Ci'an, but it was better than being taken back to the palace and confined.

Thinking that *** was implicated because he accompanied her out of the palace, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but feel a little guilty, even though it was Xie Qingzhi who suggested leaving the palace.

While the Emperor was in front with Xiao Cong and the Minister of the Central Secretariat dealing with the Yousong Academy matter, she called Zhu Xia in and asked, "How's Xie Qingzhi doing?"

"I was ordered by the emperor to be under house arrest. Outside, there are guards from the Five Cities Army. Not only are we not allowed to leave, we are not allowed to come in either. Now there are rumors in the capital that I was put under house arrest because I angered the emperor." Zhu Xia tried to lower her voice, for fear that the emperor would hear it. After all, this is the Chuigong Palace, and there are really ears.

Even if she pleaded for Xie Qingzhi, she was powerless now. She was lucky that the emperor did not punish her now. Moreover, she had been worried sick these days, fearing that the emperor would bring up this matter again and she would be the one who would be in trouble.

"I know. The emperor hasn't returned to Kunning Palace these few days. How is Mianmian?" Gu Jianchu fiddled with the chessboard in front of her. This was the game she and the emperor played last night. She used the system, but she didn't know why she lost five games in a row. Gu Jianchu couldn't help but sigh that the brains of smart people are actually better than the system.

The system is now shutting down.

"Don't worry, Madam. The old maids in Kunning Palace are here to help take care of her. Mianmian can eat and sleep well. She's very clever and witty. She makes the palace maids and maids very happy. They will leave all the delicious food for Mianmian."

"As long as she adapts, that's fine." Gu Jianchu rested his elbows on the chessboard, supported his head with his fingers, and took the notebook beside him to kill time.

The storybooks were brought into the palace for her by Xiao Conggang. Before this, this kind of thing was done by County Master Wan Ning. No one knew how Xiao Cong knew that she liked to read storybooks, but he would bring her some new ones every time he entered the palace.

In the study of Chuigong Palace, Xiao Cong reported truthfully, "Your Majesty, Bai Tong, Qiu Nan, Yun Kai, Bo Gu, and the disciples of the Spring and Autumn Academy have all arrived in the capital. I have arranged for them to rest in the Siyi Pavilion, awaiting an audience with Your Majesty."

"The talents and literary talent of these several teachers are all top-notch. If one of them is in charge of the academy, the emperor will be relieved." The Minister of the Central Secretariat said in the palace.

"After tomorrow's morning court session, bring them to see me." Xie Ci'an said two other things and then let the two of them leave.

[Ugh, Jiang Fengmian from the Spring and Autumn Academy actually has something to do with melons.]

After hearing the Queen's thoughts, Xie Ci'an couldn't help but clench the pen in his hand. He hadn't seen it yet, so how could the situation collapse?

It's better than using it and then finding out that there is something wrong with the person.

Jiang Fengmian, a student at the Spring and Autumn Academy, was from the capital. His father was the former Minister of Rites. He and Xie Qingzhi grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They met at a palace banquet, and Jiang Fengmian fell in love with her at first sight, even desiring to marry her. They even had a sweet time together. Later, Jiang Fengmian decided to work hard to gain a good academic record and marry Xie Qingzhi.

Xie Qingzhi was a spontaneous person. Jiang Fengmian was obsessed with her, but she had long forgotten Jiang Fengmian. When the list was being announced, she rode past it and immediately fell in love with Li Shicheng. She captured Li Shicheng and made him her husband. Regardless of the Li family's consent, she went straight to the palace to ask the emperor to grant the marriage, leaving Jiang Fengmian alone to watch this scene, heartbroken.

The Emperor doted on this daughter. He had prayed for her during the day, and the imperial decree granting her marriage was delivered to the Li family that evening. Jiang Fengmian had originally intended to stay by Xie Qingzhi's side, secretly watching her happiness. Unexpectedly, the Jiang family offended the Emperor and was demoted. Jiang Fengmian's father was sent to a small county town as a magistrate, while he was directly assigned to the Spring and Autumn Academy in Qinghe County as dean. From then on, Jiang Fengmian left the capital and could no longer stay by his wife's side.
