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

Before, every time I finished sleeping with someone, I only felt pain in my thighs.

Now that the emperor had experienced the movements in the picture album, Gu Jianchu felt so tired that he didn't want to move at all.

It used to be said that proper sexual intercourse could replenish yin and yang, but now she felt as if she was being sucked dry.

In the next few days, the emperor would come to Kunning Palace every day. His reason was to discuss the contents of the album with her in order not to disappoint the kindness of the wife of Nanping Marquis.

Gu Jianchu wants to curse every day.

It's not that he doesn't want to disappoint her mother's kindness, it's clearly the dog emperor's selfish desire.

Seeing that she and the emperor were being affectionate with each other all day long, Gu Jianyue didn't want to continue being a light bulb in the palace. Moreover, the affairs of the Cao family had been resolved, so Gu Jianyue took the opportunity to ask Gu Jianchu to leave the palace.

Gu Jianchu did not stop her. Her sister could not stay with her in the palace for the rest of her life. She had to live her own life.

There was also Consort Wen in the palace who often came to keep her company and entertain her.

As soon as Gu Jianyue left, Wen Zhaoyi came over with snacks.

"What did you do today?" Gu Jianchu leaned over curiously.

Every time Wen Zhaoyi came, she would bring all kinds of novel pastries. Over time, Gu Jianchu became very much looking forward to Wen Zhaoyi's pastries.

Wen Zhaoyi took out the cakes from the food box and said, "These are chestnut cakes and amber walnuts. First, boil the sugar until it turns amber, then add the walnuts and stir-fry them. It's ready."

"Sister Zhaoyi has the most dexterous hands in the palace." Gu Jianchu picked up the amber walnut and started eating it. The sugar on the outside was very crispy with a slight sweetness, and the aroma of the roasted walnuts was particularly unique.

"It's a pity that Sister Zhaoyi's craftsmanship is so poor, otherwise if she opened a pastry shop in Shengjing City, it would definitely be very popular." Gu Jianchu praised.

Wen Zhaoyi felt embarrassed by Gu Jianchu's praise, "Your Majesty, are you making fun of me here?"

Wen Zhaoyi didn't continue on this topic and turned to talk about something else. "When I went to the imperial kitchen to get walnuts, I overheard the palace servants say that recently, the wife of the Marquis of Annan has been coming to the palace frequently to visit the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager often invites people to stay for meals."

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are the best at flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak.

Not to mention that Gu Jianchu is the master of the six palaces, just to say that she is the most favored now, those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send any important good things to Kunning Palace first.

As for if Wen Zhaoyi wanted something, she had to go and get it in person. She could have asked a palace maid to go, but Wen Zhaoyi felt bored staying in the palace all day, so she went there to relax.

Gu Jianchu paused as he pinched the chestnut cake. "I've never heard of the good relationship between these sisters-in-law before. I'm afraid nothing good will come of them getting together."

Gu Jianchu didn't like going out, so naturally he didn't hear the news.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yunhe personally led Cuiwei, who was beside the empress dowager, in. Cuiwei bowed to Gu Jianchu with a smile on her face, "The empress dowager is hosting a flower viewing banquet in the imperial garden tomorrow. I hope the empress and the imperial concubine can attend."

[The Queen Mother still has the leisure to hold a flower viewing banquet? ]

Gu Jianchu expressed doubt.

The empress dowager has always wanted to give people the impression that she lives a secluded life. She rarely joins in the fun at palace banquets on weekdays, but this time she actually took the initiative to organize one.

Too much is abnormal.

Before Gu Jianchu could continue thinking, the mechanical sound of the system came over in time.

[System: The Queen Mother certainly wouldn't have the leisure to host a flower viewing banquet. She held this banquet for a purpose.]

【Is it coming for me again? 】

After all, she has been targeted by the Queen Mother during this period of time, so it is hard not to suspect that it is directed at her.

[System: It can be considered as such, but it can also be considered as such.]

Without waiting for Gu Jianchu to ask, Tongzi took the initiative to explain.

[System: Because Concubine Shu failed to harm you and then had her rank demoted and the Emperor disliked her, the Shu family believed that Concubine Shu must have fallen out of favor and was of little use. Therefore, they gathered together with the Empress Dowager and decided to send Concubine Shu's sister, the second daughter of the Annan Earl's Mansion, into the palace to help Concubine Shu win favor and maintain her position.]

"It would be great if Shu Guifei could be rescued. If not, it would also be a good thing if your younger sister could enter the palace and share your favor. You've been favored for too long recently, and it's already giving them a sense of crisis. They're also thankful that you haven't had any children, so they want to send their second daughter into the palace as soon as possible, preferably so she can give birth before you do."

[This way, they could establish a prince with their bloodline, and even use the emperor as a hostage to control the other princes.]

The Queen Mother wanted to use this flower viewing banquet to get her niece into the palace. Since there weren't many concubines in the palace, it would be easy to get her a concubine.

[Tsk tsk tsk, this calculation of theirs is about to explode in my face. If the Emperor wanted to be nice to the An family, why would he have been so cold to the Imperial Concubine? He should have taken advantage of the moment the Imperial Concubine offered herself to him.]

[The Emperor is still wary of the Empress Dowager. These people are just messing around without understanding the situation.]

[But don't these two sisters feel awkward or conflicted about serving the same man at the same time?]

On second thought, this is a big news, and the scene will be so lively.

The main thing is that I can enjoy the show in peace this time.

Gu Jianchu looked at Cuiwei with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, Aunt Cuiwei, I will definitely go there tomorrow."

The Empress Dowager organized a party, and it was difficult for Wen Zhaoyi to refuse, so she naturally agreed like Gu Jianchu.

Cuiwei then left with satisfaction.

After Cuiwei had gone far away, Wen Zhaoyi asked suspiciously, "Why would the Queen Mother suddenly want to hold a flower viewing banquet?"

"Perhaps he's planning something for the Shu family again. There might be something exciting to watch tomorrow. I remember that Concubine Shu has been under house arrest recently. She might not know this news yet. Yunhe, you should ask someone to inform Concubine Shu."

The Queen Mother wanted the second daughter of the Marquis of Annan to enter the palace, and Shu Zhaoyi, the elder sister, was very unhappy.

Wen Zhaoyi didn't dare ask more questions and lowered her head to drink the tea in front of her.

The Empress Dowager's flower-viewing banquet was not grand. She just had a few tables set up in the imperial garden and invited all the concubines and the emperor.

Now that the weather has just turned warmer, the Imperial Garden is still bare except for a few apricot blossoms that have bloomed.

Although the concubines were somewhat dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it because it was the empress dowager's invitation, not to mention that the emperor was present today.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, the empress dowager also asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare the most famous opera troupe in Shengjing City.

Gu Jianchu leaned back in the armchair, holding a piece of yam cake in his hand, staring at the show on the stage while eating melon.

The Empress Dowager didn't know what tricks she had used to get the Emperor here, but without the Emperor, the stage the Empress Dowager had set up couldn't begin.

He didn't use any tricks, he just asked the palace servants to inform him that a banquet was held in the palace.

Xie Ci'an has been busy with government affairs these past two days and has no time to go to Kunning Palace.

It seems that I missed some melons.

Judging from the Queen's thoughts, the banquet hosted by the Queen Mother today might be related to him.
