Chapter 59
What my aunt said was right, if she loses...she just begs for mercy, and with so many wives around, she may not be punished.

But if he wins, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth.

This person is Your Majesty, the most honorable and heroic man in Tianqin, as long as she can be by his side, she is willing to be a slave or a handmaid.

What's more, His Majesty can be so dedicated to a Qingxuan woman, he will definitely not just let her be a slave.

Thinking of the wealth and honor in the future, the woman squeezed for a long time before showing some panic on her face.

She deliberately raised her head to show a face that I still feel sorry for, but she lowered her eyebrows and eyes, not looking at the man.

"I offended Your Majesty in a moment of panic, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for this time."

"My daughter? Who is your father?"

Zuoqiuju widened his eyes in panic, but under the sight of Emperor Tianqin, he could only move without moving.

"My daughter Lin Yi, my daughter's father is Lin Wei, Prime Minister of the Imperial College." Lin Yi shyly let go of her hand, it turned out that she had directly hugged a person's leg just now.

When Lin Yi saw the boots at hand, Lin Yi couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

Slowly raising his eyes, he met Zuo Qiuju's somewhat numb eyes.

Zuo Qiuju finally saw the woman let go of his feet, and saw her looking up at him, he was startled and took a few steps back in a panic.

He has been with His Majesty for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

In the early years, there were still women who wanted to have a relationship with His Majesty, but in the past two years, I wonder if His Majesty's methods were too harsh to frighten them, but none of them were found.

In the early years, those women did not use such methods, most of them told their fathers that they proposed to choose a concubine in the court for a while, and wanted to use the time of choosing a concubine to stuff themselves into it.

Suddenly bumped into someone who was kneeling on the ground while walking, and hadn't bumped into him, Zuo Qiuju didn't know what to say.

"It's not appropriate for Lin Wei to teach a daughter, and it seems that she is not good for an official."

The lady next to Lin Wei hurriedly fell to the ground when she heard this, but obviously she was smarter, she didn't beg Heaven Qin Emperor, but begged Gu Ruzhen who was sitting on top.

One or two came to beg her, which made Gu Ruzhen curious about her face.

She really wanted to bring a bronze mirror to see if her face was very kind, like a Bodhisattva, so she asked these people to come to her whenever they made a mistake and wanted to intercede.

"Mrs. Lin, do you think other than His Majesty, other people can intervene in the affairs of the court?"

Mrs. Lin slumped down on the ground. If she answered no, her husband might be dismissed. If she answered yes, the whole family might even lose their lives.

Two court ladies came in and dragged Mrs. Lin, her biological daughter and concubine daughter out together.

With this lesson learned from the past, the other three girls who came in together huddled beside their aunt like a quail, not daring to move.

Gu Ruzhen glanced at the three girls, but she didn't feel any more embarrassment.

With Emperor Tianqin sitting here, even though the leading ladies racked their brains to think of topics, the atmosphere would be stiff from time to time.

But fortunately, Emperor Qin only cared about talking to Gu Ruzhen in the future, so they didn't have to flatter them.

Mrs. Shen picked up a plum blossom on the wooden table and played with it carefully. She turned sideways and looked at Mrs. Li, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

They originally thought something was wrong.

Originally thought that this red plum feast was organized by Queen Gu to win over the wives in Beijing.

From now on, it seems that Empress Gu only informed her of her existence, and didn't mean to win over her.

Mrs. Shen quietly raised her head to take a look. Under the wooden table, she could see two people clasped their hands in the wide sleeves, and their bodies were leaning tightly together.

Mrs. Shen, who had been married for several years, couldn't help but blush slightly.

"What's the matter, why is your face so red?" Mrs. Li asked puzzledly.

Mrs. Shen quickly looked at her, and softly hissed, "Look at that."

Mrs. Li also looked over, her eyes widened instantly.

Because she was afraid of being discovered, she hurriedly turned her head, but she couldn't help but tilt her head several times to look behind her.

But Qin Li and Gu Ruzhen, who were all focused on each other, didn't notice these gazes at all.

Gu Ruzhen drank a cup of tea leisurely, caught a glimpse of many uncomfortable women below, and invited Wu Zhu to whisper something in her ear.

Wu Zhu walked down and took more than 20 girls who were not out of the pavilion to another room. Emperor Tianqin was here, although he didn't talk to these people, it made them feel very nervous.

The madam and the slightly older women were fine, these women who had not left the cabinet felt uneasy here, so they went to another room, and after knowing that the sound of the two rooms was very good, they hurriedly asked for osmanthus wine.

Gu Ruzhen estimated the time, and after about half an hour, she urged Emperor Tianqin to leave.

Naturally Emperor Tianqin didn't want to, and asked her to be sent to the gate of the courtyard, and even more than that, he tapped his right cheek with his knuckle fingers, which meant clearly.

The surrounding attendants all lowered their heads knowingly.

Gu Ruzhen blinked her eyes, then stood on tiptoe.

Grab the man's arm with both hands, pull him down, and gently touch his right cheek.

"Okay, okay, go back quickly."

Emperor Tianqin raised his brows lightly, touched his cheek and showed a faint smile in satisfaction.

He saluted slightly, interlocked his fingers with her, leaned his head against her cheek, and murmured softly, "It's only half a year before I can bring you back, it would be nice if the time came sooner."

When he let go of his hand, Gu Ruzhen's cheeks were like peach blossoms blooming in spring, stained with a charming blush.

"Did you read some books? You wouldn't talk like that before."

When Zuo Qiuju heard this, the hairs on his back stood on end in fright. He must have found a lot of notebooks for His Majesty.

The man chuckled slightly, leaned down slightly and looked at her seriously, "Probably because of his strong affection, he will say some things uncontrollably."

Gu Ruzhen took the cloak hanging from Zuoqiuju's hand, put it on for the man, and tied a knot at the collar.

There was still a blush on her face, she tried to calm her breathing at this time, to make herself appear a little calmer, "Don't be too tired to critique the scriptures, you have to go to bed when the time comes, and you have to finish the decoction prescribed by the imperial doctor so that there is no leftover."

"What should I do if I can't sleep?" The man asked her leisurely.

At first, Gu Ruzhen frowned and thought about why he couldn't sleep and how to heal him. When she met the man's playful gaze, she was so angry that she clenched her fist and punched him.

"If you can't sleep, go and approve the papers for one night, or go for a few laps around the imperial city."

After finishing speaking, she pushed the man outside until he reached a place with a lot of snow, and Emperor Tian Qin didn't let her continue to see him off.
