Chapter 28
"Girl, this servant knows she shouldn't be blamed, but she often can't control her heart."

Gu Ruzhen only passed the handkerchief over when the sobbing sound around her became faint.

"Slaves shouldn't say these things to upset the girl." Wu Zhu came back to his senses, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, then blinked, trying to force a smile.

Gu Ruzhen lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on the tea leaves that were sitting at the bottom of the teacup. With the slight shaking of her hand, the tea leaves would also float around.

"Wu Zhu, it's neither your fault nor hers. Have you ever thought that she did this because she is Mrs. Wu?"

Wu Zhu raised her eyes in confusion, "Girl, I don't understand."

Gu Ruzhen eased her expression, and said, "Because what she has seen and learned and what she has learned are all for the future husband and children, and she has no sense of choice."

After saying this, Gu Ruzhen stood up and paused for a while on the steps of the pavilion, her gaze touched Hongfeng not far away.

Qingxuan's noble daughter has to have her feet bound, and the trembling three-inch golden lotus is lovable.

Because of her biological mother's early death and her father's reluctance, neither she nor Ah Yin, the two daughters of the Gu family, had their feet bound.

Because the father's status was still relatively high at that time, everyone saw that Gu Xiang's daughter didn't bind her feet, and it gradually became popular in Beijing that women don't bind their feet.

At this time, after a year or two, voices of opposition gradually emerged.

There are mainly two types of people in this objection.

One is a pedantic veteran, and the other is a woman whose feet have been bound.

It is popular in Beijing to regard bound feet as beautiful, and they have always been proud of having such beauty.

But suddenly one day, such beauty is no longer called beauty, but they have no room for regret, how can they be reconciled.

It's just that no matter how dissatisfied they were and how much they objected, the matter of binding feet was cancelled.

When Gu Ruzhen looked at Madam Wu today, it was as if she saw those eager, arrogant and disdainful women back then.

She couldn't help closing her eyes, unable to feel any emotion in her heart.

She didn't think Madam Wu was ridiculous, and she didn't feel pity for her.

The commotion at the gate of the General's Mansion was so loud that it naturally reached Emperor Tianqin's ears.

Zuo Qiuju stood aside and didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the silent Emperor Tianqin would order someone to drag him out to beat the board.

Thinking of the pain of being hit by a board, Zuo Qiuju couldn't help but moved to the side indiscriminately.

"You said she left the palace?"

Zuo Qiuju frowned and thought for a while before asking tentatively, "Your Majesty is talking about the Queen Mother?"

"Otherwise, who else could it be?" Emperor Tianqin casually took out a piece of rice paper that had been cut, and grinded the ink himself.

Apart from the two of them, there were several other court ladies and eunuchs in the imperial study room, and these people admired Zuoqiu Ju very much for a while.

After all, they grew up serving His Majesty. If it were them, just standing with His Majesty would cause their legs to tremble uncontrollably.

Zuo Qiuju continued to be bold, "I thought your majesty was talking about Miss Gu."

The man's hand holding the Langhao pen paused, and then his phoenix eyes slightly raised, the fundus of his eyes that could not see any emotion were as dark as deep.

He used a Langhao pen to outline a figure on the rice paper, and then changed to another pen to describe it in detail.

He didn't speak until he could see the general appearance of the painting, "It's time to change the name, remember to tell the people around her."

When Zuo Qiuju heard these words, his eyes widened in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief.

However, this astonished expression only lasted for a few moments, and he returned to normal again, but the other court ladies and eunuchs in the imperial study were all terrified in their hearts.

"If the Empress Dowager Xi wants to leave the palace, let her leave the palace. There is no need to send someone to follow her. She can't turn the world around."

If she really wanted to turn the world upside down, then she couldn't blame him for being ruthless.

……

On the other side, Mrs. Lin sat in the carriage, opened the curtain to look at the scenery outside the window, with vigilance in her eyes, and hurriedly pressed the curtain tightly after watching it for a while.

"Mommy, did you see anyone following along along the way?"

Apart from the groom and the two guards who were driving the horses in front, Mrs. Lin only brought this Madam Qian out.

This nanny was not sent to her palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the Lin family asked for a favor through her homesickness, which made the Lin family send a nanny over.

Lin's mother's family, the Lin family, was not a wealthy family, and it can even be said that they lived in a difficult situation in the past. Since Emperor Tianqin ascended the throne, their living conditions have improved.

But people's hearts are always unwilling to be satisfied. They think they are the elders of Emperor Tianqin, but their life is not as good as that of a wealthy businessman with a little money. How can they be reconciled.

The unwilling Lin family, plus the unwilling Lin family.

Hit it off and came up with an idea.

So today, Mrs. Lin went out by worshiping Buddha.

Soon after arriving at the gate of the temple, Lin looked up at the three words "Jile Temple" on the plaque, feeling guilty for some reason.

She is a Buddhist, but today she wants to do this kind of thing under the eyes of the Buddha.

I hope that the Buddha will not punish her for the sake of her many years of worship.

To be on the safe side, she went to worship the Buddha first, and added a lot of money for sesame oil.

Although Emperor Tianqin did not prevent the people from believing in Buddhism, he did not promote it either.

Therefore, after Emperor Tianqin ascended the throne, the golden statues of the Buddha in the temples looked a bit old.

Suddenly seeing an old woman add so much money for sesame oil, the two young monks couldn't help but smile happily.

Lin asked for a quiet room at the back of the temple and waited while drinking tea.

She was a little impatient waiting, and there was a movement at the door.

Lin hurriedly pushed Madam Qian, "Go and watch at the door, don't let anyone in."

Qian Momo replied yes, and the wooden door was pushed open.

When Mrs. Lin came here, she had no hope in her heart. She had heard those maids and eunuchs describe the woman His Majesty hid in the General's Mansion. They praised her appearance as the best in the world. I was still very apprehensive.

What the family discussed with her was to choose a beautiful woman and then she would bring her into the palace, and she would always meet His Majesty for a long time.

From Lin's point of view, no man would dislike a teenage girl who looks like a flower bone and has a delicate appearance.

So she hid her panic and looked towards the door.

The moment the door was pushed open, the sun also poured in.

Lin's original inadvertent expression immediately disappeared, and a pair of eyes were filled with amazing emotions.

In fact, this can't be called a peerless beauty, just looking at her facial features can't be called a peerless beauty.

But what is rare is that she looks both innocent of a girl and charming of a woman.

"Forsythia sees the Empress Dowager."

The woman walked up to Mrs. Lin, knelt down, and bowed respectfully.

Gradually moving from her face to her figure, Lin's face suddenly froze.
