The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 158

Gu Ruzhen didn't continue to force her to answer, but just stuffed her favorite little pillow into her arms.

After touching her head, she opened her mouth slowly.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

"But Shushu, you have to know that every word you hear, even if it is said by someone close to you, such as the father, the queen, or the queen, is not necessarily true or right. You have to make your own judgment."

Qin Shu tilted his head to think, and after a while, he hugged the small pillow in his arms and nodded.

Early the next morning, Gu Ruzhen knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Nanny Zheng was not instigated by anyone to make irresponsible remarks in front of Qin Shu, but just worried about her future after hearing the rumors outside.

Although there are no other concubines in the harem, the empress only has one daughter. It is hard to guarantee that His Majesty will choose concubines and concubines one day in the next few years in order to prolong his descendants.

At that time, if the crown prince comes out of the concubine's womb, the queen's status will definitely not be as good as before.

The Queen's status is not as good as before, and His Majesty's love for Di Ji will also decrease, and those who serve Di Ji will naturally not live as well as they do now.

This reminded her that Shushu weaned himself when he was able to eat, but she was busy all the time so she didn't deal with the issue of whether these nurses would go or stay, and only let them serve in the side hall.

"Ruotong, go and pay a sum of money and divide it into three parts for the three nannies, and then give them four golden hairpins made in the palace, and then let them go out of the palace."

"Three?"

"Nurse Zheng, just give the gold hairpin, not the silver taels."

Suddenly losing such a good job, their husband's family knew that they would scold them for it. With the golden hairpin made in the palace, their situation would be much better.

Qin Shu woke up very early, went to the Royal Garden to fight a decent set of punches with her father, and then went back to have dinner. After seeing that there were few people around him, he frowned and thought about it.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ruzhen asked her.

"It's nothing." Qin Shu thought of the reason and shook her head, but the next moment she seemed to think of something again, and looked at Emperor Tian Qin with bright eyes.

Holding the spoon in his hand, Emperor Tianqin lowered his head inconspicuously after noticing his gaze.

"Father!"

Emperor Tianqin paused with his fingers, and put down the spoon as if he couldn't hear him, then turned his head to look at Gu Ruzhen, "Teacher Guan is already waiting outside the Palace of Ganlu, I'll go and have a look first."

Today is Xiu Mu, he originally planned to stay in Shengning Palace for a whole day, but now the plan may have to be changed.

Qin Shu jumped down from the stool, stepped in front of Emperor Tianqin and stopped him, "Father, Taifu Guan filed a leave yesterday. He drank some drinks at night and is still lying on the bed. Take the medicine."

"Even if the medicine he drank was an elixir, it's impossible to wait outside the Palace of Ganlu right now for Father to pass by."

Gu Ruzhen raised her head to meet the man's gaze, and couldn't help laughing, "Shushu makes a lot of sense."

Emperor Tianqin could only lower his head helplessly, "What does Shushu want to say to Father?"

"Children who are about the same height as me or even taller than me." Qin Shu put his hand on the top of his head to measure his height, and continued, "They all live in the same room as their mother."

Emperor Tianqin leaned back, "So?"

"That's why Shu Shu has to live with the queen mother." Qin Shu and Tian Qin Disheng are very similar, even the shape of their eyes is exactly the same, the only difference is that her eyes are full of immature and unknown exploration of the world.

Her eyes were bright and clear, and when she looked at someone, it was hard for someone to say anything to reject her.

But it's a pity, facing her is the hard-hearted Emperor Tianqin, even if it's his own daughter, he doesn't show any soft-heartedness.

He didn't directly say that he was not sure, he just looked at Qin Shu for a while and said, "Do you want to learn from them?"

Qin Shu didn't realize that she was teetering on the edge of a trap. She had always trusted her parents, so she nodded without any hesitation at this moment.

"Since you want to learn, let's learn thoroughly, okay?"

"I will cry for my father right now. Remember, you must roll on the ground and cry loudly, even if your voice is a little softer."

Gu Ruzhen: "..."

Qin Shu fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. She squatted halfway on the ground, resting her chin in her hands and thinking.

I don't know how long it took, but the food on the table was completely cold before Qin Shu gave him the answer, "Then Shushu should live in the side hall."

She would rather live in the side hall alone than roll around and cry on the ground.

When Qin Shu walked out, Gu Ruzhen had the time to give the man a look.

Emperor Tianqin spread his hands innocently, "You also know that I am doing this for Shushu's benefit. She needs to be independent enough to not be dependent on anyone, including you and Zhen."

Gu Ruzhen only half believed his words, but she didn't continue to ask, but got up and went to the side to pick up a already tied net and walked back.

He opened his skirt, took out the jade pendant and put on a new one before handing it back to him.

"I finished it last month, but I put it aside later and forgot about it."

"What's more..." Gu Ruzhen sat down beside him, still holding the worn net in her hand, "In this period of time, the matter of choosing a concubine will probably be raised in the court, you have a way to deal with it ?"

In fact, there have been signs in the past few days, but because everyone was afraid of being punished for speaking out, they only said a few words in the open and in the dark at first, and did not formally put forward this opinion.

Because they didn't directly say it formally, Emperor Tianqin just pretended that he didn't understand and couldn't hear.

However, this coping method is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, the officials will unite and twist into a hemp rope to ask Emperor Tianqin to choose a concubine.

Emperor Tianqin bent his index finger and knocked on the table beside him.

"Zuoqiuju, go and get the expense booklet of the harem when the late emperor was alive."

Zuo Qiuju responded, shook off his whisk and trotted out.

All the record books of the late emperor's living harem were put together, but they were stacked so high that several servants searched for a while before finding them out.

After about half an hour, Zuoqiu Ju delivered the brochure.

Emperor Tianqin patted the dust on it, opened a few pages and focused his eyes on the numbers on the far right column, then put the booklet in front of Gu Ruzhen, and raised his hand to signal her to read it too.

After Gu Ruzhen took it, as she read more and more pages, the shock in her heart also accumulated more and more.

"how?"

Gu Ruzhen was still shocked by the numbers she saw, so she said slowly, "Is the cost of the harem so big?"

When she was in Shun'an, she was still in charge of the running water in the harem at first. Although there were many, it was not such an astronomical figure. After she exchanged all the power in her hands to Chu Lichen, it was not clear what happened afterwards.
