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

Gu Jianchu didn't have the time to think about anything else, and quickly asked the small kitchen to prepare lunch.

It was snowing today, so Gu Jianchu specially asked the small kitchen to prepare a frying pan and a copper pot, as well as various vegetables and sliced meat.

Just after the servants prepared the things, Nanping Marquis Gu Yuanqing and the Crown Prince Gu Jianbai followed the emperor to Kunning Palace.

Gu Jianchu had been waiting eagerly in the corridor. When he saw Gu Yuanqing coming, he didn't care about the white snow in the yard. He stepped on the snow pits and ran to Gu Yuanqing and threw himself into his arms, "Daddy."

Gu Yuanqing caught his precious daughter steadily and felt a sharp gaze looking at him.

Gu Yuanqing could only pat his daughter's shoulder reluctantly and reminded her angrily, "Achu, this is the imperial palace. The emperor is still here. What are you doing?"

He was just saying it to the emperor, and there wasn't much blame in his tone.

Gu Jianchu nestled in Gu Yuanqing's arms and wiped her tears on Gu Yuanqing's coat, "My daughter just misses daddy."

Although Gu Jianchu's murmur was very soft, everyone present heard it clearly.

"Dad won't be returning to Liaodong recently, so we can see him from time to time." Gu Yuanqing coaxed him softly.

Gu Jianbai looked at Xie Ci'an's indifferent expression and explained palely, "Your Majesty, please don't be offended. I have been spoiled by my family since I was a child."

"The food is ready, everyone come in and eat." After calming down, Gu Jianchu led everyone into the inner hall.

There was a fire in the hall, and the heat from the copper pot made the whole room extremely hot.

"My Lord Marquis and the Crown Prince have worked hard in the Liaodong Campaign. You should eat more." Xie Ci'an originally planned to prepare a welcoming banquet for the father and son, but for the sake of their precious daughter, the two of them quietly declined, fearing that they would cause trouble for their daughter who was now in the empress's position.

Xie Ci'an had no choice but to ask the Queen to arrange lunch so that the father and daughter could be reunited.

"These are what I should do. It's not hard at all." Gu Yuanqing seemed a little reserved in front of Xie Ci'an.

Although he was the son-in-law, he was still the king and his subject after all, and the scene was strangely quiet.

Gu Jianchu took the initiative to speak up to break the strange atmosphere, "Didn't Big Brother and Daddy say that it would take half a month to arrive in the capital? Why did you come back so early?"

These things couldn't be hidden from the emperor, so Gu Yuanqing simply said, "Of course it's about your eldest brother's marriage."

"As you know, before we went to Liaodong, your elder brother met the daughter of the Minister of Justice. Lord Qian was very pleased with your elder brother and even let them spend some time together. Later, something happened in Liaodong, so we hurried to Liaodong, and the marriage was delayed."

"Some time ago, the battle between Liaodong and the Tartars finally ended, and Lord Qian sent a letter to Liaodong as fast as he could, saying that we should return as soon as possible to discuss the marriage, hoping that your elder brother and Miss Qian would get married after the New Year."

"Your eldest brother is old now, and it's not good to delay any longer, so we will rush back early."

"I remember that Miss Qian is not very old. Minister Qian once said that he wanted to keep his daughter for two more years. Why is she in such a hurry to get married?" Gu Jianchu always felt that there was something wrong with Minister Qian's impatience.

We have to discuss the marriage as soon as possible and get married immediately after the New Year.

It's more like there's something wrong with the merchandise the vendors are selling and they're in a hurry to get rid of it.

Gu Yuanqing and Gu Jianbai didn't think as much as Gu Jianchu did. "Maybe Lord Qian is afraid that if it's delayed for too long, it will be bad for Miss Qian's reputation."

Qian Jun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, is a relatively honest person and behaves in accordance with the rules in the court. The two families are well-matched. Now Marquis Gu has won another victory, and the daughter of the Gu family is the current queen. Marrying into such a family will be of great benefit to the Qian family's career and future development.

Xie Ci'an didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Those who did not think anything was wrong heard Gu Jianchu's voice immediately afterwards.

【There really is a problem.】

what is the problem.

[I was wondering why the Minister of Justice had so urgently sent a letter asking Dad and Big Brother to come back to discuss the wedding as soon as possible. It turns out he wanted my brother to be the scapegoat. Is my Big Brother some kind of mean person?]

[Or does my eldest brother look like some kind of scoundrel?]

Qian Yue had been secretly in love with her distant cousin long before she met her eldest brother. The two of them had frequent private interactions, unknown to their parents and elders.

My cousin's family is a merchant family. Qian Yue knew that Minister Qian would not agree, so she agreed to meet my eldest brother. Seeing that my eldest brother has a gentle temperament and a bright future, she also decided to marry my eldest brother.

"You wanted to marry my eldest brother, but you shouldn't have completely cut ties with your cousin. Not only did you not do that, you even secretly dated him while you were still with my eldest brother. When he found out Qian Yue was going to marry my eldest brother, he made a scene, but was eventually coaxed back by Qian Yue."

[This daughter of the Qian family is not only capable, but also a bitch who is both a boss and a shrew. She has my eldest brother and cousin all around her.]

After my eldest brother and father left for Liaodong, Qian Yue and my cousin's interactions became more frequent. One night, they drank too much and had a violent sexual encounter. As luck would have it, a maid guarding the courtyard witnessed the incident. The maid screamed in fear and led the Minister and his wife over to witness the scene.

Minister Qian was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and his wife almost fainted. Thinking of his relatives, Minister Qian expelled his cousin Qian Yue from the house and killed everyone who knew about this incident.

After much deliberation, Minister Qian wrote a letter to my father, hoping that the two of them could get married as soon as possible.

[During this period, Qian Yue was kept in the mansion and secretly had an affair with her cousin. After having sex with Qian Yue, her cousin even wanted to elope with her.]

[Elope, that's fine! You two crazy couple, better elope quickly and stop causing trouble for my brother.]

Minister Qian usually seems quite honest, but I didn't expect him to be such a disgusting person. Your daughter has already had an affair with someone else, and instead of marrying her off, you're trying to find ways to bully her.

[It's really disgusting. It's disgusting to the extreme. 】

Xie Ci'an really didn't expect that a man who seemed honest and kind could do such a thing.

After eating this melon, Gu Jianchu instantly lost his appetite and kept poking at the rice in front of him. "Master Qian is so anxious to get married. I wonder if he has any ulterior motives. I think big brother and father could give it more thought. Besides, big brother and Miss Qian haven't been together for a long time, so I'm afraid he doesn't understand her temperament thoroughly."

Gu Jianchu didn't want to tell her father, elder brother and the emperor all the disgusting things about Miss Qian, as they might not believe her.

After hearing his daughter's words, Gu Yuanqing's face darkened slightly.

I'm afraid the emperor doesn't agree with their family's marriage with the Minister of Justice.

The Emperor shouldn't be wary of the Minister of Justice marrying into their group.
