Chapter 153

Gu Ruzhen raised her finger, put it between her lips, bent her lips and smiled, "Ruotong, don't rush to refuse."

"He Ying's family, neither you nor He Ying can get involved. If you want, I will order them to come to the palace to meet them."

Knowing that she was going to shake her head subconsciously, Gu Ruzhen paused and said, "Well, I'll give you three days off, and think about whether you want to give it a try or just give up."

The time of three days is coming soon, although Ruotong showed hesitation, when he came, he still nodded and said that he wanted to give it a try.

Before that, Ruotong went to tell He Ying that if He Ying disagreed with the He family's female relatives entering the palace, then there was no need to try this matter.

Gu Ruzhen found it gratifying that Ruotong did not trust the wrong person. Although He Ying was grateful to his family and had a deep relationship with his family, his temperament was really decisive, so he went to Emperor Tianqin to thank him without saying a word.

He couldn't enter the harem, so he could only go to Emperor Tianqin.

At this moment, Emperor Tianqin was holding a booklet that had been cut and sewn with thread, and when he saw He Ying coming, he threw it to him, and ordered him to copy all the poems and books of enlightenment into it.

The He family probably bought new clothes and jewelry for the purpose of entering the palace, and at the moment they were kneeling on the ground covered in golden light, looking at people with pain in their eyes.

Gu Ruzhen deliberately wanted to give these people a bad impression, so she didn't get them up immediately.

If she wakes up people immediately, it is inevitable that these people will think that she is being polite to them because their son is a great official, and then they will go further.

Mother He knelt at the front, and from her perspective, she could only see Gu Ruzhen's shoes and skirt.

She looked at a huge pearl embroidered on the toe, and couldn't help swallowing.

When she came to Shengjing, she saw those noble ladies shrinking to one side, but secretly talking to a few daughters-in-law that it was just a woman's dress so easy to do, why not save money to buy clothes for her brother.

Kneeling here, she didn't dare to think of such a thought at all, especially after kneeling for more than a quarter of an hour, her legs were trembling uncontrollably. Compared with the trembling of her body, she was more afraid in her heart. Thinking that if they offend the empress, wouldn't it hurt Ying'er's future.

"I forgot, you guys are still kneeling, everyone get up first."

He Mu was supported by the palace servants to get up, almost staggered and fell to the ground again, she raised her head quietly at this time, and couldn't help clicking her tongue when she saw the woman in front of her.

Gu Ruzhen rested her chin with one hand, and put the other hand casually on her lap.

"Ruotong, is this He Ying's mother?"

Gu Ruzhen directed the words to Ruotong, and also attracted several people to focus on Ruotong at this time.

Among them, He Mu's face was the most startled, she always thought that Ruo Tong was just an ordinary court lady, but who knew that she was actually served by the empress's side, and she seemed to have a high status.

Mother He blamed Ruotong, if this woman had made it clear earlier, how could she treat her like this.

"Return to the empress's words, yes."

The emotion on He's mother's face was almost clear, so Gu Ruzhen thought for a moment, frowning slightly, "A few days ago, He Ying asked me to marry Ruotong, but I haven't agreed yet."

"Ruotong has been by Bengong's side for many years, and Bengong also treats her as a younger sister, so I don't know what the old lady thinks about this matter, whether He Ying means what the old lady means."

Probably because of Gu Ruzhen's polite words of old lady, He's mother felt a little flustered, so she couldn't help but hold her head high at this moment, "This is his own decision."

"Originally, the woman wanted to find a decent girl for him according to the order of her parents, but he made up her own mind. Although the woman thought it was not very good, but since Ruotong is a person close to the empress, It's what he likes, and it's hard for women to refuse."

"Your Majesty also knows that Ying'er is a dignified eighth-rank official, so the marriage must not be sloppy."

Mother He became more and more excited as she spoke, her face flushed red with excitement.

Gu Ruzhen took a good look around and found that the expressions on their faces were surprisingly the same, so she felt a little funny.

"I'm afraid the old lady is wrong. Now it is He Ying who asks to marry Ruotong. Ruotong has not agreed yet. Even if Ruotong agrees, I still have to think about it."

She raised her eyebrows and gave Ruotong a wink, Ruotong turned around and walked towards the inner hall.

"Furthermore..." Gu Ruzhen said meaningfully, "Ruotong is the female official next to me. From the fourth rank, He Ying is the eighth rank. I still think that He Ying's official position is too low to be worthy of her." Ruotong."

Mother He was taken aback, and stammered, "Cong, Cong Sipin, the empress is joking, how can a woman be an official?"

"presumptuous."

The palace people standing on both sides behind He Mu scolded in unison, and pulled He Mu to kneel down.

After He Mu's flustered face showed panic, Gu Ruzhen said lazily, "Don't you help the old lady up?"

At this time, several palace people came in to serve tea, and Gu Ruzhen sighed softly when everyone had finished eating the tea in the teacup with trepidation.

She let Ruotong in because of this moment.

She can say some things, but she can't say them to these people in front of Ruotong.

After all, if Ruotong is really with He Ying, he will always have to deal with his family. There is no need to make too much trouble, just keep a distance.

"I regard Ruotong as my younger sister, so I don't want anyone to bully her. Does the old lady understand the meaning of this?"

Mother He squeezed her palms, secretly wiped the sweat off her hands, and hurriedly said, "The woman understands."

The few people nearby should be He Mu's daughter-in-law according to their age, and they probably listen to He Mu's words on weekdays, but now they are all shrunk like quails.

"What kind of crime is it for insulting a dignified fourth-rank female official?"

Several people knelt down from the wooden chairs to the ground at once, and Mother He wiped away the sweat, feeling anxious like ants on a hot pot, "My lady, forgive me, the women are stupid and ignorant, and speak freely, please forgive me, my lady. "

"Get up."

The palace servants standing aside helped them up.

"I can write off what happened in the past, but if I hear something that I shouldn't hear in my ears in the future, then I can only ask He Ying why it happened."

Looking at the terrified expressions of the few people who were almost copying and pasting, Gu Ruzhen ordered a few palace servants to carry two wooden boxes and let the palace servants follow the He family out of the palace together.

It wasn't until her own home that Mother He sat down in shock. She felt happy when she thought of Ruotong's official position and status, but she felt terrified when she thought of what they said to Ruotong before.

"Your Majesty, it's the servant girl's fault, and I'm going to trouble you again this time."

Gu Ruzhen propped her chin and looked at her, "When I first came here, you and Wu Zhu were the two who reminded me a lot, so it's nothing troublesome."
