After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

While the young emperor was secretly adding more responsibilities to Gu Nanxi, what happened in the palace was spread to the entire Kyoto in a 360-degree manner.

The teahouse and tavern business was exceptionally booming on this day; the only things that could rival it were the ceremony of selecting a son-in-law for the imperial examination and the parade of the top scorer in the imperial examination.

In a private room on the second floor of Fuquan Restaurant, General Niu's wife was lying on a soft couch and ordered a bowl of snow-soaked spleen-strengthening drink.

The young lady of the Duke of Ji pushed the window open a crack, and the originally quiet private room suddenly became noisy: "In the early winter, what kind of snow-soaked spleen-shrinking drink should we drink?"

Mrs. Niu, the general who guards the country, licked the blisters in her mouth with the tip of her tongue and said listlessly, "I feel a little irritated today. Drink this to calm down the heat."

"What are you worried about?"

"Alas, I don't know if the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang can leave the palace safely. I heard that this Concubine Tong is arrogant and domineering, and she doesn't even take the queen seriously. The concubines in the harem have suffered from her for a long time."

The young lady of Duke Ji rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Don't worry about other people's business. Does Gu Nanxi know who you are? You worry about her, but she doesn't appreciate it."

Mrs. Niu, the general of the state, laughed and said, "I don't care whether she knows me or not. In the past, I only saw men with three wives and four concubines, but never saw a girl playing with them in the palm of her hand. Madam Yongchang Hou, you dare to think what others dare not think, and dare to do what others dare not do. I just hope that she can get what she wants."

The young wife of the Duke of Ji used her round fan to tap the head of the general Niu's wife and scolded her with a smile: "If you have the guts, you can say such things in front of the general!"

"Of course I wouldn't dare to do it, so I hope the wife of Marquis Yongchang would dare to do it!" Mrs. Niu, the general who guards the country, said righteously.

The two of them immediately burst into laughter.

"I can hear your laughter from far away. What are you talking about?" Lady Chengguo ran upstairs, a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Mrs. Niu handed over a cup of sweet bean soup and said, "Run slower. We can't walk. Why are you in such a hurry?"

The young wife of Duke Chengguo was panting rapidly, but her eyes were as bright as candles. She didn't care to slow down her breathing and asked anxiously, "Do you know that Concubine Tong was scolded by the Queen Mother?"

"What?! The sun is rising from the west? Imperial Concubine Tong has the support of Imperial Tutor Tong. Since she entered the palace, the Queen Mother has been reluctant to say a harsh word to her. This time, she is actually scolding her?"

Mrs. Niu was so frightened that she almost dropped the snow bubble drink in her hand.

The young wife of Duke Chengguo was overjoyed, as if she had been lucky enough to be with Rong: "The imperial concubine summoned the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, and after several confrontations, she was pissed off. The emperor was worried that the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang would suffer, so after the court session, he didn't care about the Imperial College's wine ceremony and ran to the Yaochi Palace in a flash."

"Hiss!" The young wife of Duke Jiguo gasped, "Although His Majesty is young, he looks like a wise ruler. Rain or shine, he works in the front hall every day until noon before he rests. Even when the imperial concubine is ill, he has never changed his habit."

"And what was the result?" Mrs. Niu asked impatiently.

The young wife of Duke Chengguo burst out laughing: "I don't know what the emperor said, Concubine Tong ran out of Yaochi Palace angrily and went to complain to the queen mother. Unexpectedly, she was scolded."

Madam Niu immediately discovered the blind spot: "So, His Majesty and the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang have been staying in the Yaochi Palace?"

The young wife of Duke Chengguo covered her mouth with a round fan, her eyes gleaming with gossip, and whispered, "The emperor dismissed the palace servants, and a man and a woman stayed in the same room alone for half an hour!"

"Is His Majesty so terrifying?!" A man suddenly exclaimed outside the window.

The three ladies looked in the direction of the sound and found that it came from the first floor of the teahouse.

Mrs. Niu opened the window a little wider and looked down. She saw that the already crowded teahouse was now like a pot of boiling tea, bubbling. No one could hear what was being said, and could only vaguely distinguish a few sentences.

"Some palace servants said that the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was helped out of the Yaochi Palace by the emperor. When she left the palace, she seemed to be a little unsteady on her feet."

"Alas, His Majesty is too unkind to women. Someone saw that His Majesty's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had used too much force."

"More than that. The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was carried in a palace sedan from Yaochi Palace to the palace gate. Along the way, many palace servants saw that the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang looked exhausted."

Madam Niu and the other three looked at each other and said in unison: "You can't judge a person by appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the ocean. The most beautiful woman in the world wins!"

The young emperor, one of the protagonists of the scandal, returned to the front hall to deal with unfinished official business after seeing Gu Nanxi off. He did not stretch until the sun set and went to the Empress Dowager's palace for dinner.

The Empress Dowager had suffered a lot when she was young, so her meals were not as luxurious as those of Concubine Tong. A bowl of mixed vegetable porridge and a side dish was the dinner for the mother and son.

The young emperor sipped the wine, sipping it with an especially sweet taste.

"The emperor has a very good appetite today." The empress dowager smiled as she watched the emperor eat heartily.

The young emperor put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said embarrassedly: "My mother, please forgive me for making fun of you. The huge stone weighing on my heart finally has someone I can trust. I am so lucky."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother turned the beads in her hand and saw that her son was in the mood for talking, so she asked, "Who did you entrust it to?"

The young emperor's eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky. He smiled and said cheerfully, "I gave it to my elder sister! When I was a child, I always hoped to have an elder sister to protect me. But at that time, I was naughty and was always scolded by my elder sister."

The young emperor was filled with emotion: "At critical moments, I still have to rely on my elder sister. Mother, you are right. My elder sister is really not an ordinary woman."

The empress dowager paused. Why was the Gu Nanxi described by the prince so completely different from the one she remembered?

That’s right. After all, we haven’t been close for ten years. Isn’t it natural that people have changed?

The Queen Mother put aside her doubts and ordered her maid to take out a double crabapple flower hairpin from her private storehouse: "This is for the Imperial Concubine. She is very angry today. If you don't appease her, you will be in trouble."

After the young emperor left, the empress dowager ordered someone to send a purple gold phoenix crown to the empress.

The prince was not fair in his treatment, so his mother had to make up for it.

In the palace, the Queen Mother was busy coaxing her son and daughters-in-law.

Outside the palace, Su Yunyan, Su Xuanming and other sons and daughters were guarding the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, anxiously surrounding Gu Nanxi.

"Mother, why do you look so weak? Were you bullied by the imperial concubine?" Su Yunyan held back her tears and took Gu Nanxi out of the carriage with heartache, and gently placed her on the bamboo chair.

"Yunyan, shut up. Mother, thank you for your hard work. I asked someone to go to Dingfenglou to buy some black chicken soup, which is the best for nourishing yin." Su Yunting secretly complained in his heart, this young boy is just unreliable, look how tired his mother is!

Gu Nanxi folded her hands on her lower abdomen, lay on the chair and closed her eyes.

Thinking of the young emperor's earnest instructions and expectations, Gu Nanxi suddenly felt that there was no hope in life.

If living means bearing the unbearable weight of life, then it is better not to live.
