Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Gu Yunshu compared the situations of his two aunts and understood many problems.

It’s not that she looked down on the Xie family where her eldest aunt came from, but the life of her second aunt in the Changning Marquis’s Mansion was not only fine, but also comfortable.

There are no such messy things, and no poverty.

"Mother, I will listen to you. I will learn from my second aunt and be a smart and obedient daughter."

Qin nodded, "That's right, continue to practice martial arts in the future. I see that you have grown taller recently."

Gu Yunshu was quite proud, "Of course, Second Aunt also said that I will be strong and taller than her in the future."

Seeing that her daughter was obedient, Qin felt sweeter than drinking honey.

When raising a daughter, I am afraid that she will turn out to be like Gu Xirong, who is content with love but endures hardships. How long can she maintain this?

Qin's recognition of Gu Xiling grew stronger and stronger.

Now even the biased mother-in-law starts to complain about Ling's merits and demerits all the time.

On the contrary, the eldest daughter, who was placed with high hopes, has been disliked by her mother-in-law. If it weren't for the fact that her father-in-law valued Xie Jin, the mother-in-law would not bother to pay attention to this stupid eldest daughter.

Time goes back half a month ago.

The famous Jiming Temple is located far outside the city of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Queen Mother was worshiping Buddha in the meditation room, beating a wooden fish and chanting sutras with her eyes closed.

Only when there was one more person in the room did the empress dowager stop beating the wooden fish, suddenly opened her eyes, and looked up at the person who came.

"Yun Jia, you are too impatient." The Queen Mother sighed softly when she saw the person coming.

Honglianfang was exposed in advance and was forced to evacuate and hide outside the city. Many things were left unfinished.

Qi Yunjia is thirty-five years old this year. He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, is strong and healthy, and has a handsome appearance. One can vaguely see that he looks like the empress dowager.

"Mother, don't worry. Although Honglian Langjun cannot act in the capital, he can still enter the city after changing his identity and disguising himself."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Yun Jia, you underestimated the enemy. Originally, according to my arrangement, you were to be a good prince, and wait until the time was right. After the Crown Prince passed away, His Majesty would be severely wounded."

"Your younger brother is in his prime. To prevent the imperial power from falling into the hands of others and to prevent the youngest son from not being able to control the court, you are the best choice for His Majesty. But you didn't discuss it with me, and you faked your own death and lived with a woman."

"If you are willing to be mediocre, if you don't love the country but only love beauty, I will also help you. But you are not like that. You want to ascend the throne and you act willfully. If you like that woman, you can just bring her back to the mansion. Why hide it?"

"Now, your first wife died tragically, with a male fetus in her belly. If the court officials knew about your act of faking your own death, you would not be able to ascend the throne even if His Majesty the Crown Prince was gone. There are so many royal relatives, why would they give the throne to a willful person?"

The Queen Mother was very disappointed with her son whom she had high hopes for.

She had planned everything for half her life, but she didn't expect to fail at the last moment.

Seeing his mother so angry, Qi Yunjia smiled and said, "Mother, my son will soon be able to control the capital. Taoist Xuanmingzi has already won over many powerful people, or the families of these people have real power."

"In addition, many of the people I have arranged in the court over the years hold high positions. When the time is right and the crown prince is gone, His Majesty will surely be severely wounded and will not live long. As the queen mother, if you recognize me again, won't everything be easy?"

The Queen Mother showed disappointment. "The moment you faked your death, you lost the qualification to compete for the throne. You will never become the emperor. You used those dirty tricks to win over those people with bad character. You will never succeed."

"If any of these people have other sons, their families will not obey orders. These people who have no official positions and whose character is corrupt, what can you expect from them? Even if you bribe some court officials, there are many people who are loyal to Your Majesty."

"You are clearly at a disadvantage and will be exposed soon, but you still think you can turn defeat into victory. This is the imperial court, not a market or a game of house. Do you think the people in the court are all fools? Do you control the military power? Can those people you bribed control the entire court?"

"Also, can you handle someone as difficult as Li Guojiu? How can you convince your wife's family, the Duke of Lu? And how can you bribe and persuade the Marquis of Changning, your majesty's loyal supporter? The most difficult one is Jinlinwei. Can he fall into your hands?"

"You may not even be able to deal with the Marquis of Changning or Uncle Li, yet you want to use these dirty tricks to steal the country. No! No way! Now listen to me, take your woman who would rather fake her death than live with you, and leave quickly. Escape to an overseas island, and maybe you still have a chance to survive."

When Qi Yunjia heard the Queen Mother say this, her expression twitched a little, "Mother, in your eyes, I can never accomplish anything? Do I have to do what you say to accomplish anything?"

The Queen Mother was extremely disappointed and her eyes were filled with despair.

How could she, such a smart person, raise such a stupid son?

Is this retribution?

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, she was destined not to die of old age!

The Queen Mother sighed, "No matter how much I tell you, you won't believe me. I can't stop you, so why don't you just give it a try? After all, I will be there to accompany you on your way to the underworld. We mother and son won't be alone anymore."

After saying this, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and continued to beat the wooden fish.

Although she believed that her son would not be able to succeed, she still prayed to the Buddha to protect her son and keep him safe.

"Mother, when my son succeeds in seizing power, I will personally take you back to the palace." Qi Yunjia said in a deep voice, determined to take action to change his mother's opinion of him.

The Queen Mother did not speak. The only sounds in the Zen room were the wooden fish and the chanting of sutras.

The Cloud King came quietly and left quietly.

Jiming Temple is as quiet as ever.

Half a month later, the Queen Mother woke up early in the morning with palpitations, twitching eyelids, and restlessness.

Princess Xueying has been leaving the temple frequently lately to travel around Jinling City.

No one knows her here, so Princess Xueying can do whatever she wants. The endless money she has can satisfy her extravagant life.

Yesterday, Princess Xueying dressed up as a man and went to a brothel to experience the "happiness" of a man.

Seeing those women posing in coquettish ways made her feel disgusted, they were all vulgar women with rouge and makeup.

Even the most expensive courtesan is nothing more than that in the eyes of Princess Xueying.

The madam could tell at a glance that Princess Xueying was a woman, and even if she was dressed as a man, she would not really like women.

In that case, she used her trump card, and the carefully trained male prostitute appeared.

We were led directly to a quiet courtyard at the back, where there was a small bridge and gurgling water. One could faintly hear the guqin playing "High Mountains and Flowing Water in Search of a Soulmate".

His black hair is like a waterfall, his skin is fair, his face is handsome, and his every move is graceful.

What Princess Xueying couldn't take her eyes off the most was this person. He actually looked a bit like... Zhou Jin!
