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

After making sure that Xie Ci'an was not testing him, Gu Jianchu nodded gently.

"When will the emperor's hunting begin?" Gu Jianchu asked casually.

"It will start in three days. Let's take a break after the long journey. If you want to go hunting in the mountains now, you can do so." Xie Ci'an explained casually.

Gu Jianchu nodded in response and casually opened a memorial.

The Chief Censor reported the Minister of Rites for forcibly occupying a piece of their land. This trivial matter should have been brought to the Dali Temple, but how could it have been brought before the Emperor? Furthermore, the land owned by the Minister of Rites was originally passed down from their ancestors, and they had been using it to grow crops, mistakenly believing it to be theirs. When the Minister of Rites learned of this, he wanted to take the land back, but they refused, so the two families started a quarrel.

[He thinks it's right to seize someone else's things. This Chief Censor is truly shameless.]

Gu Jianchu directly rejected it.

[This isn't reviewing memorials, this is simply a melon field.]

The governor of Cuizhou petitioned for money to station troops. He actually intended to embezzle the money under the guise of stationing troops. He was afraid of his wife, so he had previously secretly given his sister some money to buy a house. Now his wife wanted to use the money to buy a house as well. The governor was unwilling to let his wife know that the money had been given to his sister. So he planned to embezzle some money from the court first, and then make up the difference once his sister returned the money. This way, he could explain to his wife, who didn't want him to have too much contact with her.

Isn't this embezzlement of public funds? And how can he do it so shamelessly? If he was afraid of his wife, why did he lend the money to his sister? Or maybe he should just confront his wife directly. No matter how terrible his wife is, she could do something more dangerous than embezzling public funds.

[It turns out the wife of the Cuizhou governor is a tigress. She'd abuse the governor at the slightest thing that went wrong at home. She's such a wretched person. Forget it, I'll just reject the case. As for his wife, I'll let her handle the situation herself. After all, embezzling public funds is a terrible thing.]

Gu Jianchu rejected it again.

Xie Ci'an never thought that one day, Gu Jianchu's melon-eating would be useful in this way, allowing him to directly see into the minds of the ministers.

If the memorial was in his hands, he would also reject it, but his consideration was that Cuizhou did not need so many troops at all, not that the governor might embezzle public funds.

The two of them had just finished reviewing a stack of memorials when Yunhe brought over the pies and eight-treasure rice pudding made by Mrs. Gu.

Smelling the aroma of the pie, Gu Jianchu no longer had the heart to continue working.

Xie Ci'an saw what Gu Jianchu was thinking and touched his hand. "Go eat while it's still warm. I'll be busy later."

"Okay." Gu Jianchu nodded repeatedly and sat down at the dining table with Xie Ci'an.

The aroma of pies spread in the air. Gu Jianchu first took a three-fresh pie and tasted it. It still tasted the same as before.

Mrs. Gu was afraid that they would not have enough food, so she sent over a lot of it. Gu Jianchu ate three in a row and drank a bowl of eight-treasure rice pudding and was full. As for Xie Ci'an, it was his first time eating this kind of pie, so he ate one more than Gu Jianchu.

After eating and drinking, people can't help feeling sleepy.

Xie Ci'an picked her up and placed her on the large bed.

Just as Xie Ci'an pulled the quilt over her, a heavy body pressed down. A hint of lust appeared in the man's eyes. He pressed his hands on the back of Gu Jianchu's head, and the other hand, with rough calluses, reached into her waist to touch the soft flesh around her waist.

After realizing the danger, Gu Jianchu quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Your Majesty, we have just eaten and drunk enough, it is not appropriate to do this kind of thing."

"Why is it not suitable? I also want the Queen to get pregnant as soon as possible." Xie Ci'an's bewitching voice sounded in Gu Jianchu's ears. His warm breath sprinkled on Xie Ci'an's earlobes, and an itchy feeling rose up.

"Your Majesty and I have been married for almost two years, but I have never gotten pregnant. So there is no need to rush to get pregnant. We can take our time." Gu Jianchu could clearly feel the danger approaching her. She could only use her hands to block Xie Ci'an's chest. Her entire body was almost under Xie Ci'an's control, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

"Since the Queen is not in a hurry to get pregnant, then please satisfy me." After Xie Ci'an said this, he didn't give Gu Jianchu a chance to refute, and leaned over to kiss Gu Jianchu directly on the lips.

The soft lips had a faint plum scent, and just a quick taste seemed not enough. Xie Ci'an easily pried open Gu Jianchu's pearly teeth and continued to conquer her.

Gu Jianchu clung to Xie Ci'an's neck with her arms. The air in her chest became thinner and thinner. Just when she was about to suffocate, there were sudden knocks on the door.

Xie Ci'an finally let go of Gu Jianchu, and looked towards the door with a strong murderous look in his eyes. "What's the matter?"

Xie Ci'an's tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction.

Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but glance at Cheng Song beside her. From the emperor's voice, it seemed that he was in trouble.

Xiao Fuzi said stiffly, "The Emperor's guards caught two sneaky people outside the palace while on patrol. They have been detained by the guards, but they don't know what to do with them."

Upon hearing this, without waiting for Xie Ci'an to react, Gu Jianchu jumped up from the bed in surprise.

[Caught.]

Xie Ci'an looked at the queen who was tidying her clothes and preparing to get out of bed in confusion.

What did you catch?

Gu Geng, having received Rong Zhi's letter, disguised himself and came to keep his appointment tonight. Rong Zhi bribed the eunuchs in the palace to take her out at night. After finally waiting for Rong to play chess and drink tea with his colleagues, Rong Zhi donned eunuch's clothes, disguised herself, and followed the eunuch out of the palace to meet Gu Geng.

It wasn't that Lord Rong was too tolerant, but rather that he felt that the palace was heavily guarded and Rong Zhi couldn't possibly escape, so he didn't interfere. However, he had a daughter who only wanted to escape.

After meeting Gu Geng, Rong Zhi, under Gu Geng's repeated persuasion, wanted to elope with him. Moreover, there were many people in the palace, so no one would notice.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to have Xiao Fuzi arrange a pair of guards outside the palace in advance.

Xie Ci'an now understood what the Queen meant by "caught".

The Queen and Xie Qingzhi had quietly left the palace before, wasn't it also to get involved in the Rong family's scandal? Who would have thought that the Rong family would have such a follow-up?

Before Gu Jianchu could persuade him, Xie Ci'an took the initiative to say, "Bring the two of them to the yard."

Xie Ci'an sat up straight and straightened his clothes.
