It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

However, it was said that the second prince's mother, Concubine Wan, was originally drafted into the palace, and her family's power was average. She only had a father who was a minor official in the court, and she had no access to the core of power.

As for Wan Bin herself, she is kind and scheming, decisive and ruthless, smart and astute, but unfortunately...

Ordinary looking.

This resulted in Wan Concubine being in the palace for many years and never being favored by the emperor.

But Wan Concubine was very resourceful and had good luck. One year, the emperor hosted a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for hundreds of officials. After drinking too much, he took the wrong road on the way to the queen's palace and ended up in Wan Concubine's palace. She was in a state of confusion all night. It made her pregnant——

In addition to a certain amount of luck, there are also many oddities in this matter. For example, the queen's palace and the palace of Wan Concubine, who was not favored at the time, were not in the same direction at all. Another example is that many women have been sleeping with each other for many years without necessarily having children, but she just once I got pregnant and the baby was born safely.

That's not all. In a place where the harem was full of intrigues and the rate of newborn infant mortality was extremely high, Wan Bin was able to raise the second prince safely. It was obvious that this woman was very extraordinary, at least there was nothing to say about scheming.

However, sometimes, people are always smart but are misled by their cleverness.

Gu Ruanruan wrote to the second prince for help. Concubine Wan knew that Concubine Zhou had tried to teach Gu Ruanruan a lesson, and she also knew about Concubine Zhou's friendship with Gu Baiyu before entering the palace, so she became interested.

Concubine Zhou is young, beautiful, and has a well-off family. Her father also plays an important role in the court and is favored in the harem. Sometimes even the queen has to give way to Concubine Zhou;

It just so happened that Concubine Zhou also had a delicate mind. After so many years in the harem, Concubine Wan had several confrontations with her, but she still failed to get a good result!

Now that Concubine Zhou has no children, Concubine Wan can tolerate it, but according to Concubine Zhou's overwhelming favor, it will be a matter of time before she has a child, which Concubine Wan cannot accept.

So Gu Ruanruan's letter of help became the reason for Concubine Wan to attack Concubine Zhou.

Before the second prince brought this matter to the court, she had already found the queen. On the grounds that the servants in the harem had been loose and made many mistakes recently, she wanted to thoroughly investigate whether the servants in the harem had made any mistakes in their recent behavior;

This investigation led to Concubine Zhou, who said that she had allowed the nuns around her to leave the palace at will, and her behavior was very inappropriate.

It just so happened that the two daughters of the Gu family had recently had a conflict over their marriage. Concubine Wan said that Concubine Zhou stretched her hands too far and used the maid in the palace to help her best friend to teach the concubine, which made the Gu family restless.

The relationship between the royal family and courtiers is actually very sensitive. If Concubine Zhou is not married yet, this can only be said to be to help a close friend;

But Concubine Zhou became the emperor's woman, and her words and deeds were related to the emperor's wishes. Concubine Zhou's behavior was deeply inappropriate. Concubine Wan even hinted that Concubine Zhou's behavior in helping Gu Baiyu was a lie in front of the queen. , confusing right and wrong.

This is a big crime!

However, Concubine Zhou did not refute her at that time, and even accepted Concubine Wan's accusation. When the Queen asked her, she only said that she had nothing to say.

Concubine Wan endured it at that time and did not attack immediately. She only waited for the second prince to expose the matter to the emperor, and used this to suppress Concubine Zhou.

However, what she didn't expect was that the plan of the second prince in the court came to nothing. Prime Minister Gu frankly admitted that he had no way to teach his daughter, but he also refused to admit that he had wronged the concubine, and even showed how much energy he spent on the concubine. Far more than the legitimate daughter.

When the second prince's plan failed, he originally wanted to call it quits, but he didn't expect that Concubine Zhou would kneel down on the emperor's way as soon as he went to the harem.

Concubine Zhou cried till she was full of tears and said that she was helpless. She originally wanted to help the concubine of Prime Minister Gu's family with good intentions, but she didn't expect that she was too harsh and made Prime Minister Gu's family uneasy. Concubine Wan had already removed her The crime was reported to Queen Ming, and she was willing to be punished.

The emperor had just listened to the words of the second prince and Prime Minister Gu in the court. How could he not understand that this was clearly the second prince and Wan's mother and son working together to cooperate inside and outside the court and the harem!

The emperor hated the harem's interference in politics most in his life. After hearing Concubine Zhou's cry, his face immediately darkened.

He said that this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Zhou and asked her to have a good rest and not think too much.

When Mrs. Zhou said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the imperial concubine was not involved." Gu Baiyu said.

"What? I haven't finished speaking yet!" Mrs. Zhou covered her lips with a handkerchief and continued.

But after the emperor made it clear that he would not blame Concubine Zhou, Concubine Zhou was unwilling to get up, saying that it must be her own people who punished her too much, which made the concubine of the Gu family feel resentful towards her legitimate daughter, and she must be punished!

The emperor also lost his patience and asked her how to punish her?

So Zhou Guifei said that everything was because one of the nuns was too strict when teaching Gu Ruanruan the rules. It was better to deal with the nun who did not follow her wishes and caused turmoil in the Gu family's house.

As a result, the spy who the Second Prince and Concubine Wan had tried so hard to plant around Concubine Zhou was so easily removed by Concubine Zhou that even outsiders could not find the slightest reason to object.

"Oh, the imperial concubine told me in her letter that when Concubine Wan knew that the nanny had been dealt with, her expression was wonderful. It's a pity that we didn't see it."

After hearing this, Gu Baiyu also felt emotional. After many years, Sister Zhou's methods are still so powerful!

Madam Zhou came over, took Gu Baiyu's hand and patted it gently, "Don't worry, it's actually quite annoying for His Majesty that this matter has come to the court. The court is a place where state affairs are handled, not for courtiers to play house. Your Majesty is very clear about what is going on in your family. So the noble concubine took the opportunity to say that it was because that nanny made you two sisters unhappy. Your Majesty did not say a word and acquiesced to the noble concubine. If you say so, you should not care about this matter again in the future."

Gu Baiyu nodded: "I still have to thank the imperial concubine. Our family's scandal almost caused her..."

"It will make her sad if she hears what you said!" Mrs. Zhou glanced at Baiyu's nose: "She regards you as her best sister!"

Gu Baiyu touched his nose, smiled and said nothing, only writing down the Zhou family's kindness in his heart.

After chatting for a while, it was getting late, and the Gu family was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhou pulled Gu Baiyu aside: "Your father and your Uncle Zhou were here just now. I didn't say that this was given to you by the imperial concubine. You should keep it and take a good look at it!"

Gu Baiyu took the thing from Mrs. Zhou's hand and blushed again. It turned out to be a booklet on the art of the house!

There is also a small note written by Zhou Moning inside -

"Yu'er, this is my treasure. I have tried it. Your Majesty is happy and shares it with Yu'er."

Gu Baiyu blushed and took the thing into his arms, then handed the note to Mrs. Zhou: "Madam, please get rid of this quickly."

Mrs. Zhou looked inside and almost cursed: "Oh! Why is this girl talking nonsense? A lot of people said she was charming and seducing the master, but she still dared to say such things! When people saw it, they thought it was not... What kind of magic in the room is a black magic!"

Gu Baiyu also found it funny, and Sister Zhou was still as cute as ever.

Mrs. Zhou was in a hurry to burn the note and did not send the person to the door. After the Gu family and Zhou Daren said hello, they went home together.

Gu Baiyu was getting married tomorrow. Even though Mrs. Gu was very reluctant to give up, she didn't want to disturb her daughter's rest. She touched her cheek and let her have a good rest.

Lingyu waited for Gu Baiyu to wash up, and then was taken out by Gu Baiyu.

When there was no one in the room, Gu Baiyu used the only candlelight in the room to slowly take out the box under the pillow and the booklet Mrs. Zhou gave her today...
