Daxia Wensheng

Chapter 18
Accompanied by a sound.

Inside the fasting palace.

The smile on the Empress Dowager Zhou's face was a little less.

Gu Jinnian noticed it, but he didn't say anything. It's better not to get involved in matters of adults.

Lest you can't please yourself.

"Mother, is this the queen's sister-in-law?"

Princess Ningyue also noticed something, she looked at Queen Mother Zhou with a little curiosity.

"What else could it be? Isn't it just the grandson's going to Daxia Academy."

"During this time, I have been going back and forth to my Zhaixin Palace more than a dozen times."

Empress Dowager Zhou said helplessly.

As soon as these words were said, Princess Ning Yue immediately understood.

The grandson of Daxia is now about the same age as Gu Jinnian, who will be sixteen a few months away, but if Gu Jinnian is said to be poor at school, let alone this grandson.

He learned everything from his grandfather, and ran to the military camp if he had nothing to do. Emperor Yongsheng was used to it, and took him to the military camp if there was nothing to do.

So I have developed a competitive temperament since I was a child, good at fighting, and I am not ignorant of reading, but at least not very good.

Now that Daxia Academy will enroll students in a few days, theoretically neither Gu Jinnian nor grandson can get in.

However, because of the almost drowning incident, the Minister of Rites offered an extremely precious direct-record quota, which can be regarded as compensation.

But Taisun has nothing to do with it.

There are not many places for this direct record. From the obvious point of view, the emperor does not have this quota. Of course, this is only on the bright side.

After all, if you really spoke, who would dare to disobey the holy will?
But the emperor generally would not open his mouth, even in order to set an example, he would not open his mouth, and everyone in the world stared at him.

Oh, the grandson of your emperor can directly enter the Daxia Academy, and you still keep talking about the emperor?
Readers are also under pressure.

Aren't scholars upholding justice?Not afraid of power?Why do you also accept Taisun's grades that are so stretched?

Of course, the most important thing is that these scholars don't dare to teach grandchildren. If you teach them well, everything will be fine.

If you can't teach well, who can stand up to such a responsibility?
The emperor also knew this, and everyone knew it, so it was very troublesome, so he simply did business, and no one caused trouble.

But can this kind of thing be done business-like?
Does the prince agree?Does the princess agree?

Who doesn't want their children to enter the highest academy?Who doesn't want their children to be Jackie Chan?
Anyway, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

The same is true of the royal family, nothing very unusual.

Gu Jinnian only listened to a few words, and probably knew it in his heart.

But he does not participate in this matter.

Don't want to join in at all.

None of your business.

"Did the queen see you or not?"

Princess Ning Yue asked.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was slightly silent, and finally sighed.

"See you, don't let her come, come again tomorrow, you can't stop her."

The Empress Dowager Zhou was a little upset.

And after she finished speaking, the maid soon went to report.

"Come on, Nian, have some pastries and see how thin you are."

"Ning Yue, you are too. Doesn't the Gu family have a cook?"

"Look at the thin young man, who is that? Oh, the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of War is only 16 years old, and he is as strong as a bull. Look at our young age, in case something happens in the future Trouble, isn't Nian'er going to suffer."

Empress Dowager Zhou blamed her a little.

But this way of thinking is a bit weird, can't you think of something better, Queen Mother?Your grandson is a scholar, why do you have to compare with the son of the Ministry of War Minister.

Listening to the empress dowager's reprimand, Princess Ning Yue could only nod her head and had nothing to say.

It's normal for the older generation to feel sorry for their grandson. What's the point of being scolded a few times?
Also at this time.

A voice sounded.

"The concubine sees the queen mother, and may the queen mother live a thousand years."

The voice sounded, and Gu Jinnian looked over.

She is a Yonghua woman, she looks about 40 years old, the years have always left some marks on her face, but from the eyebrows, it is not difficult to see that she was once a first-class beauty.

This is Empress Daxia, Empress Guo.

She is the daughter of the Duke of the former dynasty.

Empress Guo has a gentle temperament, and there is a young man next to her, who is similar in age to her, wearing a golden python robe, with delicate features, but there is a sense of arrogance in her brows.

This is the great grandson of Daxia, Li Ji.

If there are no accidents, three or fifty years later, he may be the emperor who dominates Great Xia.

They are the most honorable people in this world.

But in comparison, Li Ji seemed a little casual. He didn't salute when he saw the Empress Dowager Zhou, but stood aside, looking at him.

"Meet the queen's sister-in-law."

Princess Ningyue's voice also followed, and she smiled at Queen Guo.

"Sister Ningyue, why are you here today?"

"It's been a while since I saw you."

Hearing Ning Yue's voice, Queen Guo immediately smiled. She has a good relationship with Ning Yue, after all, she is the emperor's younger sister.

"Nian'er met, Queen's Aunt."

"Aunt Queen, why do you look so good? You feel younger."

Inside the hall.

Gu Jinnian also opened his mouth appropriately, and smiled at the queen, saying the same kind words.

really.

What women love most is when others praise their looks, especially juniors like Gu Jinnian.

As soon as these words were said, Empress Guo's eyes clearly showed joy from the heart.

She is indeed nourishing her energy and beautifying her face recently, but except for the slaves around her, she will only praise a few words, and the rest are just average.

But she didn't expect Gu Jinnian to be the first to praise her, which instantly made her elated.

"It's the year."

"Let my aunt see, this little mouth is really sweet, Fu'er, hurry up and take out the beauty cake made by Ben Gong, and let the queen mother and Nian'er taste it together."

Empress Guo was full of joy, and came straight to Gu Jinnian, full of love for Gu Jinnian.

Firstly, Gu Jinnian's good looks are attractive in themselves.

Secondly, it was also because Gu Jinnian was extremely favored by the Empress Dowager Zhou.

The third reason is that Gu Jinnian's family background is extraordinary, and the Gu family is not a small family, so naturally he has to be coaxed.

Based on the above three points, Queen Guo naturally reacted in this way.

At that moment, the maid took out the cake box and placed it respectfully in front of the table.

The Queen Mother Zhou had no interest in these pastries, but looking at Gu Jinnian, she couldn't help but smiled and picked up a piece, and handed it to Gu Jinnian for him to eat.

From this point, it can be seen that the Queen Mother Zhou really likes Gu Jinnian, the kind from the bottom of her heart.

It is clear at a glance when compared with Taisun.

But it's not that the Empress Dowager Zhou doesn't like her great-grandson, it's mainly because Gu Jinnian is here, and any comparison will hurt.

"Are you coming to this palace today, or is it because of your grandson's business?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou spoke out, but she was direct, without any cover-up.

After saying this, Queen Guo was not embarrassed, but smiled and nodded.

"Empress mother and grandson are stubborn, but they are of royal blood after all, and their brains are still very flexible and intelligent."

"My queen, this trip to Daxia Academy is of great significance. If I didn't go in the past, I wouldn't go. But this time, I hope that my mother will find Your Majesty and say a few words for your great-grandson."

Empress Guo spoke out, perhaps because she mentioned it several times before, but this time she was straightforward.

Having said that, the Empress Dowager Zhou frowned slightly.

Princess Ningyue knew that her mother was not willing to get involved in the court, especially when the emperor was filial, and she did not want to be used by others.

Therefore, Princess Ningyue looked at Li Jidao.

"Grandfather, take your uncle out for a walk."

Princess Ning Yue spoke.

The next topic involved the affairs of the court, and it was inconvenient to talk about it with two children, so Princess Ningyue dismissed them.

Li Ji is a grandson, the fourth generation. Gu Jinnian is one generation older than him, so he is naturally called an uncle.

"Oh."

Li Ji was a little reluctant, but if he was asked to leave here with Gu Jinnian, he preferred to take Gu Jinnian away together.

"grandmother?"

Gu Jinnian did not go directly, but glanced at Queen Mother Zhou, waiting for what Queen Mother Zhou meant.

It was just a small gesture, but it contained different meanings.

It seemed that Gu Jinnian respected the Queen Mother Zhou more.

Indeed, with just this small move, the Empress Dowager Zhou's heart warmed up. This grandson is still close to her, and her mother's words are useless, she knows to wait for her to speak out.

This kind of behavior made the Queen Mother like her grandson more and more.

Empress Guo watched all this quietly, and couldn't help feeling in her heart how did Gu Jinnian become like this after being drowned?She is cute and can talk, and she does things impeccably.

Look at my grandson again, to be honest, he is too playful.

Why don't you try throwing your grandson into the water too?

Some distracting thoughts flashed in Empress Guo's mind, while Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Gu Jinnian with a smile and said.

"Nian'er, have fun."

"Bai Ying, follow Nian'er well, don't let Nian'er get hurt."

The Empress Dowager Zhou made a noise and asked her personal eunuch to follow Gu Jinnian, for fear that he would be hurt.

"Here."

Eunuch Bai Ying answered with a smile, and then left Zhaixin Palace with Gu Jinnian and his grandson.

And as the two left, the hall became more serious in an instant.

Gu Jinnian didn't care about the matters of the elders.

He followed Eunuch Bai Ying all the way forward, and just after he walked out of the main hall, the grandson's voice sounded.

"Gu Jinnian, you can find a place to play by yourself, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you for now."

Li Ji's voice sounded, and he called Gu Jinnian by his name without any respect at all.

In comparison, Gu Jinnian is a month older than him, but it's just a matter of seniority, Li Ji has to call him his lifelong uncle, or younger uncle.

But obviously, this guy is not cold about himself.

This can't be done.

If it was someone else, Gu Jinnian would be fine, but who is this person?Grandson.

In a hundred years, this guy will basically be the emperor of Daxia. If he didn't 'make' a good relationship when he was young, he would be in trouble when he grows up.

"His Royal Highness can do whatever he wants."

"It's just that I am your uncle, and I hope His Royal Highness will remember it."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

A little kid, still used to it?

Be polite, to respect that he will be the emperor in the future, but if you are really rude to yourself, Gu Jinnian doesn't care about him.

Throughout the ages, how many princes have been deposed?Not to mention a grandson?
If you don't take good care of him when you are young, let alone when you grow up.

Make yourself humble?
Eat farts.

Besides, so what if he was really offended and died?As a time traveler, are you still afraid of him?

really.

As soon as he said this, Taisun couldn't help being taken aback.

He really didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would answer himself like this.

For a moment, Li Ji felt a little unhappy, and even felt a little disgusted with Gu Jinnian.

He didn't have a good impression of Gu Jinnian.

At first, there was no contact.

Secondly, my great-grandmother liked Gu Jinnian and didn't like me.

Thirdly, it was Gu Jinnian's performance just now, which made him very unhappy.

Although my mother and concubine and the queen's grandmother had reminded me to treat Gu Jinnian better, but the more so, the more rebellious the young man's heart became.

"Humph."

Li Ji snorted softly, and then prepared to leave.

But Eunuch Bai Ying, who had been silent all this time, spoke out.

"Your Highness, Grandson, this must not be the case. The Empress Dowager has an order. If you play together, you will play together, and you will have to eat together later. If His Royal Highness is not here, the servant will be in trouble."

Eunuch Baiying has white hair all over his head and a smile on his face, but he is definitely not very human.

Hearing this, Li Ji frowned a little.

But he understood what Eunuch Bai Ying meant, and was a little displeased at the moment. He just thought about it, and Li Ji looked at Gu Jinnian and continued to speak.

"You can follow me, but don't talk nonsense, there are many people in Tianxiang Temple, don't be ashamed."

After saying this, Li Ji turned and left without leaving Gu Jinnian a chance.

For a moment, Gu Jinnian couldn't help feeling amused.

It seems that this guy is not easy to get along with.

Row.

Then don't blame me for taking care of someone and not showing family affection.

At that moment, Gu Jinnian followed Li Ji.

Eunuch Baiying watched all this with a smile on his face, but he was a little disappointed in this grandson in his heart.

The grandson of the Duke of Tangtang Township, if he doesn't win him over well, he really doesn't have any means of the Tian family.

It's just that he can know these things in his heart, and he won't talk nonsense.
