Farming and reading lady

Tong Mingyan knelt down to thank the emperor for his wife and disciple. Now the Duke of Zhenguo was also happy for his sister and little niece. Who could now make fun of his sister's inability to have children? To do so would be a slap in the face of the emperor.

The other people in the court had different thoughts, but the emperor didn't care. He was not new to the throne, and he had to act according to your mood. He had been sitting on the throne for more than 30 years and had already held great power. What was wrong with fulfilling his own little preferences? The Tong family, who received the imperial edict, was delighted. If they were scolded a few times, they could get such a big reward. Gu Xixian said that he could come more often.

Yin Xueruo was still very grateful to her senior brother, the emperor. These two rewards really touched her heart. From then on, she didn't have to kneel when she met anyone except the emperor and the queen, which was exactly what she wanted.

Of course, in addition to this title, other material rewards are also indispensable. Gu Xixian also said shamelessly that this was the emperor seeing that her family was poor, so he prepared her dowry. Tong Mingyan and Yin Xueruo laughed so hard that they kept teasing her for not being shy.

Gu Xixian raised his head and said, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. It is human nature, and I am not shy about it. Besides, as long as my dowry is generous, if my husband treats me badly, I can still divorce him without fear."

"Where do you get so many ideas, little girl? You still want to get a divorce? Open your eyes and pick a good one. It is the hard truth that the two of you love each other and grow old together." Tong Mingyan knocked her head and comforted her at the end: "Live your life happily. We adults are here to help you."

"Yes, sister, I will support you. You are still young, don't think too much." Gu Xihao promised solemnly.

"Yeah, I know, I know. I have a teacher, a mistress, parents, and a brother. I'm not afraid." Gu Xixian was still very moved because she knew that these people loved her sincerely.

Unlike the Tong family, who were all in high spirits, at the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Sun Qiaorong was punished to kneel in the small Buddhist temple yesterday. Today, Grand Tutor Sun came home and slapped her twice. This granddaughter was once loved by him, but who knew that this matter would be handled so poorly. That's right, he didn't blame her for doing these things. He was angry that she didn't clean up the mess and didn't find the right person. Although no one mentioned it openly, everyone knew that the emperor's "Female Commandments" did not punish Sun Qiaorong, but slapped Sun Guanghui in the face. The emperor's warning was clear, warning him that if he did something weird again, his daughters in the palace would also be implicated. Yesterday, all the daughters of Beijing officials above the fifth rank were there. What was the difference between this and being reprimanded by the emperor? Look at the looks in their eyes. His opponents even showed their mockery on their faces.

Sun Qiaorong covered her face and knelt on the ground, not daring to cry. This was the first time her grandfather lost his temper with her. She knew in her heart that although her grandfather looked kind and amiable on weekdays, his torture methods were more brutal than anyone else's.

After venting his anger, he instructed his eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Qiaorong's mother, "Arrange for her to stay in a farm outside Beijing for a few months."

"Yes, Dad!" The eldest lady of the Sun family wanted to plead for her daughter, but she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue when she saw her father-in-law's face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Her father-in-law was the one who had the final say at home, and no one could resist. If she pleaded for her daughter at this time, the result might be worse than now. The eldest master of the Sun family obviously knew his father's temper, and silently pulled the eldest lady back.

After everyone left, Grand Tutor Sun said in a gentle tone before leaving: "Rong girl, don't blame your grandfather for being cruel. It's really because you made a big mistake this time. Stay in the manor for a while. You will be indispensable for food, clothing and other expenses."

Sun Qiaorong barely managed to control the sobs in her voice and said, "Granddaughter dare not. Granddaughter thanks grandfather and bids farewell to him!"

The jealousy and hatred towards Gu Xixian in her heart deepened. It is the nature of many people to bully the weak and fear the strong, just like Sun Qiaorong. No one dared to blame her, and even Lu Jiaojiao didn't hate her much, but she caught Gu Xixian. Why? Isn't it because she thought that such a country boy, helpless and easy to bully? But she didn't know that the country boy she thought of had suddenly become a village king. If she knew, she might vomit three liters of blood.

In Princess Xianyun's mansion, Princess Qiaoyin was not punished, but watched her mother smash a bunch of precious tea cups like crazy. She smashed a batch yesterday, and today, after hearing the emperor's reward to Madam Tong and Gu Xixian, she was so angry that she smashed twice as many things. From childhood to adulthood, she has seen such things several times and has become indifferent. She doesn't know what the relationship between her mother and the Gu family is, but according to her research, the Gu family is just a country family. Logically, her mother and them have no chance to have any relationship, but her mother is obviously very concerned about the affairs of the Gu family. The last exam incident of Gu Xihao and the targeting of Gu Xixian this time, one by one, made her wonder if her mother has some unknown secrets in the hands of others. Otherwise, these things cannot be explained.

The relationship between her mother and father was not good, otherwise she would not be the only child. Although her father had to live in the princess's mansion due to her mother's coercion, since she became the head of the government, even though they lived in the same mansion, her father rarely met her mother. Even if they met, he usually had a cold face and did not say a word, or he would just walk away in anger at her mother's sarcasm.

In the past, her father was very kind to her, but since she helped her mother bully her uncle's cousin, her father gradually became distant from her. Whenever he saw her, his eyes were extremely complicated, with heartache, pity, but more of disappointment. She knew all this, and she also wanted to be kind to her father, but she was more afraid of losing her mother's heart, and she was afraid of living a poor and unknown life.

After venting her anger, Princess Xianyun felt a little better. She sent her daughter away and called her confidant. After giving him some instructions, she twitched her mouth gloomily, "You little bug from a corner, you still want to crawl out and cause trouble, but you have to see if you have the luck to do so."

At the Yan residence, Yan Nianjun and his son were sitting in the study playing chess. Both father and son were calm and composed.

"How is it? That girl is pretty good, right?" Yan Nianjun stroked his short beard with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Yan Ming's jade-like face also smiled: "She is indeed a magical girl."

Although no one from the Yan family is in the court now, in the complicated capital, everyone has an insider, not to mention that the Yan family has always kept secrets. It only took a moment for the news of what happened in the palace to reach them.

Being able to make his son say this means that the matter is basically settled. Yan Nianjun immediately said, "It has been determined. The rest of the matter is up to you to handle."

Yan Ming hummed softly.

Gu Xixian knew nothing about what was happening in other people's houses, let alone that someone was secretly trying to cause trouble. She was happily writing a letter to her parents to announce the good news.
