After saying this excitedly, Gu Yuanshan asked the maid to call the housekeeper over and ordered him in a cold voice, "Go to the Madam and tell her that it was my wish that 30% of the rewards from the palace the other day be sent to Aunt Lan."

"Master, this is not right..."

"In the mansion, my words are the rules."

Aunt Lan was about to frown and push him away when Gu Yuanshan embraced her in his arms.

However, Gu Yuanshan quickly let the man go: "I have something else to do today, I will come to see you another day. If Madam treats you badly again, just let the maid tell Zhu Yue, and I will take care of it for you."

After watching Gu Yuanshan leave the yard, Aunt Lan put away her gentle and reluctant gaze and leisurely returned to the house.

On the other side, in Chunhui Hall, after hearing what the housekeeper said, Wen's face became terribly gloomy.

"Mother, why? You are father's legal wife, and Aunt Lan is just a lowly concubine. It's already an honor to be promoted to a noble concubine, and you even want to use the rewards from the palace. She doesn't deserve it."

"My daughter will take people over to teach her a lesson right away."

Gu Youxin said this and was about to get up and leave.

"Stop, you want to be the imperial concubine even though you are so impatient."

Wen scolded with a cold face.

"The governess your grandmother hired will be here tomorrow. You must learn the rules and regulations carefully, and don't cause trouble for Qinfang Pavilion."

"So mother just endured it like this?"

Gu Youxin said with a pout.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Once you enter the palace, you'll trample that little bitch under your feet and you won't be able to vent your anger."

"The most important thing now is to convince Gu Youning to let you enter the palace to accompany her. Before that, everything else can be put on hold."

"Mother will go and make some moves with the Wen family. As long as we can control the Wen family's power in the harem, it will be easy for you to deal with Gu Youning, who has no one to rely on."

Gu Wen's eyes were full of calculation. Concubine Wen was not favored by the emperor and was injured. There was no hope of having an heir to the throne. Naturally, the Wen family would think of sending other daughters into the palace.

But now, all the girls from the main branch of the Wen family are married, and those from the side branches are either too young or plain in appearance, so they cannot be favored even if they enter the palace.

Although her Xin'er is a little impatient, her appearance is not much different from Gu Youning, and she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. With a little more training, she will definitely be able to win the emperor's heart.

……

In Changchun Palace, Gu Youning had no idea of ​​his stepmother's wishful thinking.

She asked the palace maids to help her take off her hairpins and rings, let down her cloud-like black hair, and changed into a jade-colored double-breasted long dress. She leaned diagonally on the soft gold-thread pillow on the couch, covered with a snow-white soft wool blanket.

Under the glass lamp, she is particularly charming and graceful, but when her bright eyes are raised, they are clear and pure again.

When the emperor entered the bedroom, he saw such a beautiful picture.

It was not until the light was blocked that Gu Youning raised his head and hurriedly threw the book away.

"Okay, no courtesy."

The emperor quickly picked up the book that had nearly fallen to the ground, glanced at the cover, and gently tapped Gu Youning on the head: "How dare you treat the sage's book so disrespectfully?"

"Your Majesty knows that I don't care about these things. If I wasn't afraid of being exposed when Zheng'er asked, I wouldn't have cared about them."

The emperor didn't allow her to salute, so she simply lay back down.

"You'd better not teach Zheng'er anymore. I'm afraid you might mislead him."

Of course Xiao Heng knew the woman's level. When she first entered the East Palace, she knew almost nothing, and he taught her many things personally.

This is even more so when it comes to reading and writing.

"Then Your Majesty, please teach me? I don't want to be looked down upon by Zheng'er."

Gu Youning pulled the emperor's sleeve and stood up happily.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "Okay, Zheng'er is smart, and he can't be delayed by you, his mother."

His eldest son will enter Ming Academy next year, so he should take time out in the next three or two months to visit Changchun Palace more often.

The emperor took out a golden hairpin from his sleeve and said, "I was so confused all day that I didn't even realize I had lost my things."

"Why is this hairpin with the emperor?"

Gu Youning asked curiously.

"Of course it was dropped when you came to see me today."

"The Emperor is still scolding me, if it weren't for that time..."

Gu Youning seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words.

The emperor's eyes turned warm and gloomy: "It's my fault. I should thank Ning'er for helping me to calm down."

During the day, the emperor had a big quarrel with Gu Youning, and he felt that the depression that had accumulated in his heart for the past two days had dissipated a lot. Even when the Cui and Zheng families later confronted each other in front of the emperor, he could watch leisurely.

Whether it was an accident or intentional, the emperor's mouth would unconsciously rise whenever he thought of this woman in Qianming Palace.

After finishing his government affairs, he stood up and saw the hairpin dropped beside the dragon throne, so he naturally ordered his carriage to go to Changchun Palace.

"Is the Emperor going to reward me with some gold ingots again?"

Money is needed to manage the palace, and even more money is needed to get people to work hard for him. Gu Youning's only way to make money now is the emperor.

Of course, if this source of wealth is well maintained, it will be safe and reliable.

"How can gold ingots be enough? Didn't Ning'er say last time that a long drought is finally followed by a downpour? I will be your downpour tonight."

Xiao Heng laughed loudly, picked the person up, and strode towards the bed.

Gu Youning naturally had no objection, as it was not just the emperor who benefited from this.

Moreover, she already has contraceptive perfume, so she doesn't have to worry about any accidents.

As a result, she had fewer concerns and acted more cheerfully today, even playing a game of dragon and phoenix with the emperor.

But perhaps it was because women's bodies were not as strong as men's, or the emperor was too anxious, Gu Youning really fell asleep in the back this time.

The satisfied emperor held the beautiful woman in his arms, with a slight smile on his lips.

……

"Master, it's time to get up."

Gu Youning was awakened by Tan Yin.

The brocade curtain was drawn open, and Tan Yin hurried forward to help the person up.

While helping her master change her clothes, Tan Yin looked at the marks of varying shapes on her body. Having never experienced love, her eyes turned red. She couldn't help but complain softly, "The Emperor is really showing less and less pity for the Master. This must be painful. There's also a mark on my neck. It would be embarrassing if someone saw it when I pay my respects."

Although there were many marks on Gu Youning's body the next day after the previous times he slept with the emperor, this time it was particularly serious.

"Hey Tanyin, I'm fine."

Gu Youning recalled that it was she who caused the emperor to lose control yesterday. A rare trace of embarrassment slipped across her face, but since she had already fallen asleep, she hadn't suffered any loss yesterday: "Just apply a thick layer of powder."

"Why are you waking me up now?"

When Gu Youning saw Cai Yuan coming in with a copper basin, there was a hint of blame in his tone.
