Chapter 324 The Crown Princess' Scheme (3)
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glared at his fourth son complainingly, he was really useless, even he could tell that this kid was protecting this girl because he fell in love with her, but he gave it away They didn't even fight for others.

Speaking of his four sons, the fourth son is his favorite. He is not as arrogant and extravagant as the prince, not as cowardly as the second son, and not as ambitious as the third son.

He had long intended to abolish the prince and make the fourth son the prince, but since ancient times, there has been a difference between concubines and concubines. In the minds of these stupid veterans, even if the prince is nothing, he is still his concubine, the best candidate for succession.

So he can only spend his time, hoping that the fourth child can be more confident and pull the prince down from the throne of the prince.

But this can't be said clearly, not only can't say it clearly, but even hint it, otherwise, it will definitely cause shocks in the government and the public.

And there is also a very important reason why he doesn't like the prince, this reason is basically known to no one except the concubines and the queen mother in the harem.

In the past, after he married the first empress, none of the other concubines gave birth to heirs except for the first empress. All of them were ruined by the late empress, so many years later, only the empress and the prince dominated the harem. .

It wasn't until Concubine Chun came into the palace that she exposed what the former empress had done. He didn't know that in those years, the former empress had killed at least a dozen of his heirs.

Therefore, he hated the late queen so much that he personally sent the late queen to the underworld with a glass of poisoned wine.

From then on, his offspring prospered, and the concubines in the harem continued to give birth to princes and princesses.

This is all due to Concubine Chun. He loves his house and his wife, so he naturally looks at the son born to him by Concubine Chun with special regard.

It's not that he is ruthless and doesn't care about his son. He just manages the country, not playing games. A person like a prince can't manage a country well.

If the crown prince is allowed to inherit the throne, he will most likely become a puppet of the Bai family, and the hundreds of years of Suye dynasty's foundation may be destroyed in one fell swoop.

When Gu Qingmei heard the emperor's praise of her, she quickly fell to her knees: "The emperor has praised her absurdly. It is the honor of my wife that the emperor doesn't think my wife is clumsy."

Princess Mu Jun smiled and said: "Since the emperor likes it, it is an honor to give this child something, isn't it?"

"Yes, thank you, Auntie, for reminding me." The emperor laughed loudly. "Gu Qingmei, tell me, what reward do you want?"

Gu Qingmei's mind was racing, thinking about what kind of reward she should ask the emperor for, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't know what she should ask for, money?You are a small rich man yourself, what do you want?I am now the princess of Zhenguo, the general's wife.

Suddenly, she had an idea and thought of something.

"Your Majesty..." She glanced lightly at Jiang Shaoyan who was sitting on the side seat, then suddenly knelt down on the hard bluestone slab and kowtowed with her head, her expression extremely solemn.

Jiang Shaoyan's face couldn't help turning fury and discolored, and a pair of small hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched tightly into fists, for fear that she would take the opportunity to make trouble and tell the truth about his threats to her.

But she underestimated Gu Qingmei, how could Gu Qingmei say such a thing?If this matter is told, even if it turns out to be a rumor, Tian Xiaomeng will not survive. This is a feudal society, and women's chastity is valued more than anything else.

When the matter broke out, even if Gu Qingyang was the number one scholar, he would not be able to control people from the Gu clan to arrest Tian Xiaomeng and soak him in a pig cage.

"The emperor's wife dare not resign, but the courtier's wife is favored by the Holy Grace. According to the system, the family members of officials above the third rank are not allowed to leave the capital without authorization. If they want to leave the capital, they must ask for an imperial edict. I have to go to the Ministry of Rites for the record. The emperor knows that my wife is a money-loving person and has been doing business all along, so my wife asked for an order, so that my wife can leave the capital at will, and my wife can also go to various shops. Go to the border gate to see the progress of the city wall protecting the country."

When a group of court wives and young ladies heard her request, they all curled their lips in disdain, showing contemptuous expressions.

Sure enough, she is a lowly woman from a small family, just restless.

What's fun outside, naturally it's better to be pampered in the capital. Isn't it best to leave those businesses to the subordinates to manage?
It's rare for the emperor to want to reward someone, and he didn't take the opportunity to ask for some imperial jewelry to show off, but he just wanted an imperial decree.

Seeing that she didn't complain, Jiang Shaoyan's heart fell back to the original place.

The emperor laughed loudly, looking at Gu Qingmei with a hint of relief in his eyes, and sighed again in his heart, this girl is really good!
"Okay! Then I will give you a gold medal. With this gold medal, you can enter and leave the capital at will without asking for orders!"

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Gu Qingmei fell on the ground, kowtowed heavily to the emperor, then stood up and retreated to her seat.

She thought to herself, with this token, she can do many things.

Generally speaking, this flower viewing feast passed without any surprises, and in the afternoon, the flower viewing feast ended.

In the general's mansion, in Gu Qingmei's small kitchen, there were soft conversations.

"Yun Shen, why are you so unhappy?" Shen Mingyao asked Yun Shen who was cooking a pot of ginseng chicken soup in front of the stove while choosing vegetables. She and Yun Shen followed Gu Qingmei when she was still a girl in Gujiazhuang, and it was also because Yun Shen, she has food, a place to live, and monthly money, so her relationship with Yun Shen is very unusual.

Yun Shen glanced at her lazily, she felt a little helpless for this foodie who only knew how to eat and refused to leave his mind on other things.

The reason why she wanted to give Shen Mingyao a hand at the beginning was definitely not because she felt pitiful for Shen Mingyao, but she had already seen that Gu Qingmei was not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later there would be a glorious day, and it would be impossible to have only her as a maid by her side Yes, instead of asking Gu Qingmei to find someone who doesn't know where they came from, it's better to find someone who knows the background.

In this way, she has the grace to save Shen Mingyao's life, Shen Mingyao naturally can't go past her, when the time comes, Gu Qingmei will have two big maids by her side, and she will still be the one who receives the most attention.

But she never expected that the appearance of the sisters from the Su family would make her thoughts come to naught.

No matter where Gu Qingmei went, she only took the Su family sisters with her. She was the first maid who followed her, but she only had to watch the money box.

Speaking of the money box, in fact, it contained only some change that Gu Qingmei used as a reward. The real big money was not placed in her place.

Faintly, she had a feeling that she seemed to be expelled from the center of power by Gu Qingmei.
