The day to add makeup has not yet come, but the queen has already started to choose things from the inner library to reward Li Baolu, and the reason is ready-made.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the palace will also begin to prepare the rewards for the ministers. Gu Jingyun is a fourth-rank Hanlin, and he could not be rewarded. Unfortunately, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and he is listed in front of the emperor, so his reward is to follow the first-rank great. The members are out of the palace, and the value is even richer.

   Faced with this kind of differential treatment, everyone is used to it and doesn’t mind at all.

   He comforted himself with sourness in his heart, anyway, Gu Jingyun only has the fourth rank no matter how favored he is, why should they care about these details with him?

   After the four-rank Hanlin reward is over, it is time to use the excuse of Teacher Prince to reward. For the sake of Gu Jingyun's hard work in teaching the crown prince, the emperor rewarded him first, the queen followed closely, and the crown prince and crown princess also followed to have fun.

   After rewarding Gu Jingyun, he excused that Li Baolu, the mistress, had also worked hard. After another round of reward, the courtiers who didn't care about these rewards also smelled unusual.

   I was worried, did the emperor plan to disregard the holy will of the late emperor and promote Gu Jingyun exceptionally?

  Gu Jingyun really wants to break the boundaries of the fourth rank and start to grasp the real power, so this court will not be the world of Qin Xinfang's uncle and nephew from now on?

  The two of them, one is the teacher of today, the other is the teacher of the prince, both of them are simple in the heart of the emperor, this is the rhythm that goes against the sky.

   Even the first assistant Peng Dan, who has always been calm, couldn't sit still, and provoked his son Peng Yu to listen to the prince.

Although he is still the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the emperor relies heavily on him, the emperor trusts Qin Xinfang the most. The most important thing is that Qin Xinfang has extraordinary abilities. Although he has been away from the dynasty for fifteen years, he can quickly master the business as soon as he gets started. With prestige, it is logical to take over the power from him.

   If it wasn't for him still occupying the position of the first assistant, at this time, there is probably no place for him to stand in the cabinet.

Although his son Peng Yu is the prince's companion, his aptitude is mediocre, and it is difficult to go further after the middle exam. He also knows that it is not necessary to wait for his son to graduate from the imperial examination, so he asked him to use the status of the prince's companion early. The Crown Prince's official.

   As long as the prince ascends the throne, his son will naturally go to court in the future, even if the foundation is worse than that of the two-ranked scholars, he cannot worship the minister, and it will not be too bad because he and the prince share weal and woe.

   The premise is that there is no Gu Jingyun for comparison.

   Qin Xinfang is better than him, anyway, he has no son, and his only nephew is imprisoned on the fourth-grade Hanlin, but once Gu Jingyun breaks that boundary, who can stop him from going straight up?

   He is not only a two-ranked jinshi, a young champion, and is very famous in Shilin, he is also the teacher of the prince, and he has also gone through thick and thin with the prince, and his wife has also rescued His Royal Highness. With him around, wasn't his son crushed to death?

   In this way, the situation that he has worked hard for fifteen years will be broken in an instant, and now his intention to avoid Qin Xinfang's edge is useless, his Peng Dan will always be under Qin Xinfang, and the Peng family will always be shorter than the Qin family.

  Peng Dan didn't want this to happen, so he was the first to notice that something was wrong and sent his son out to inquire.

   And the other courtiers gradually smelled different breaths and spy on Qin Xinfang. Could it be that His Majesty really wants to reuse Gu Jingyun?

   In fact, it is not impossible for the emperor to reuse Gu Jingyun. After all, everyone knows why the late emperor gave that holy will, but now that Qin Xinfang has been rehabilitated, what's the point of pressing Gu Jingyun not to give him a head start?

   But seeing the Qin family rising so fast, everyone can't help but feel a little sour.

   Among them, Old Hou Ye, the Hou of Zhongyong, had the most complicated mood.

   That is his grandson!

  Unfortunately, it is better not to have.

   Qin Xinfang responded calmly to inquiries from all parties, and only after getting into his own carriage did he smile and help his forehead with a headache.

  The minds of the lords are too big, what is this all about, can he tell them that everything is a misunderstanding, are the emperor and the others gathering a dowry with his nephew and giving his nephew's daughter-in-law a dowry?

   Qin Xinfang can only let this misunderstanding go on.

   The two highest powers in the palace didn't know, and they were happily discussing what to give them next time.

"The concubine heard that their courtyard has just been renovated, and there must be a lot of things missing. It's better to give them some precious flowers and trees next time, as well as some furniture and so on. You can't use the old ones." The queen said here Sighing, "I want to say that Chunxi is too economical in this regard. I heard the inner servant who passed the edict say that the tables, chairs and benches in the Shi'an Courtyard are all left by the old master, and they have not been changed at all."

  The emperor laughed and said loudly: "You think she is someone who cares about these things. She would rather eat and drink when she has money, I'm afraid she won't think about changing furniture."

The Queen    thought of Li Baolu's foodie nature, and smiled helplessly as well. She took out a booklet from a plate on the side and said, "The foreign ministers brought in a lot of furniture when the late emperor, why don't we choose a few sets to reward them?"

   In this era, the value of a set of furniture is not low, especially those precious wood furniture, which are no less valuable than antiques, and Gu Jingyun and the others must not be able to buy them with their current wealth.

   During the time of the late emperor, he repaired the palace almost every year, built other palaces, and eliminated some furniture every year.

   So Neiku has to buy a batch of furniture every year.

After he ascended the throne, he stopped several repair and construction projects in the name of keeping filial piety. The people below knew that the new emperor was frugal, and no one dared to commit crimes in the limelight, so the furniture that was transported into the inner warehouse early was not replaced. For the time being, it was piled up in the warehouse.

  There are only three sons today, the prince lives in the prince's mansion, and the other two princes will be at least eight years before they go out to open the mansion, so these furniture are temporarily out of use.

   Might as well give it to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu.

  So, after only three days, the queen found another reason for the servant to move two sets of furniture to Gu's residence.

   This time, it was not a quiet reward from a few servants holding a few boxes, because the furniture was huge and had to be pulled by a cart.

The two sets of furniture not only have tables, chairs and benches, but also huge screens and Duobao Pavilion of the same type of wood. One set requires three cars to pull, and a line of six cars from the palace to Lingsheng Street. , the ministers inside and outside the court received the news.

Peng Dan couldn't sit still any longer, and invited several ministers to come in to see him. The first sentence was to exhort him, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty loves Gu Shi's talents. Therefore, I hope Your Majesty will treat him more carefully, and don't let him He was pushed to the cusp of the storm."

The emperor was a little embarrassed, he just realized that the recent rewards seemed to be too many, but thinking that it will not be long before March next year, he coughed lightly: "This is not the New Year's Day, I am thinking about taking care of it. The servant said that he worked hard for the prince, so he couldn't help but reward him a little more, of course, the ministers have also worked hard this year."

   After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Director Su, and said with a smile: "You go and choose ten lingluo by yourself, and give a bunch of Nanzhu to Zhu Qing."

   "Yes." Director Su raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the stunned adults, bowed and stepped back.

  Peng Dan and the others looked at the emperor dumbfounded, "Your Majesty..." They didn't come to ask for rewards, they came to stop the emperor from continuing to dote on Gu Jingyun so much.

The emperor    waved his hand with a smile: "I know what the ministers want to say, but I love it so much, and the gift doesn't affect the country, so the ministers will let me go."

  Peng Dan's heart sank, is he determined to reuse Gu Jingyun?

   Several other ministers also looked at each other, saw the emperor squinting and smiling in a good mood, thinking about the New Year's Eve in less than a month, it is really not easy to provoke the emperor at this time.

   Forget it, His Majesty's rewarding Gu Jingyun so much now is just to build momentum for him. When they really want to re-use Gu Jingyun, they will speak out and persuade him.

However, the will of several ministers to persuade is not strong. After all, Gu Jingyun is not a traitor, he is also a talented person, they are not not sorry, but if Gu Jingyun is reused today, it will inevitably violate the emperor's holy will, which involves the ancestors , even if they knew from the heart that the emperor was a fool, they didn't want the emperor to go against the will of the ancestors.

  Except for Peng Dan and a few people whose interests will be affected by Gu Jingyun's reuse, the rest of the people's opposition is not deep, and some people even faintly agree in their hearts.

They thought it was a power struggle, but they didn't expect that Gu Jingyun just wanted to give his daughter-in-law more private houses, and the emperor just wanted to give some gifts to a young couple he liked, and incidentally relieve some of the burden on the inner treasurer, who knows would cause such a big misunderstanding.

   Even in the harem, the queen mother who has started not to ask about the world knows it.

   The queen mother asked the queen to ask, and the queen was still hesitant to tell her, seeing the expression on the queen mother's face, she hurriedly explained that Gu Jingyun was going to make up the wedding.

He said nervously: "The queen mother also knows that the two children seem to have no shortage of food and clothing, but in fact they have a very weak foundation. The manor is rich, but that kid Qinghe is arrogant, and it is impossible to rely on his uncle all the time, so the emperor and I pondered, since the two children want to make up the wedding, it must be done in a grand manner, otherwise it will not be made fun of. Once?"

  The Queen Mother was stunned, "Make up the wedding?"

The queen nodded and hinted: "After New Year, Chunxi will be married, and the two children will be able to get married. My daughter-in-law heard Zipei say that when the two children got married, they planned to have a new wedding, so Lian Xi I didn't even do the clothes, I just simply bowed to the heaven and earth and went to issue the marriage certificate."

  The Queen Mother's eyes widened, "Then why..."

The queen said helplessly: "The two children are young, one was fourteen when they left Qiongzhou, and the other was only eleven. How did they know to avoid it? Zipei guessed that they wanted to save money and safety, so the two of them were They both get up and sleep in the same place, and Qinghe didn't want Chunxi to be criticized and looked down upon, so he introduced them to people early and explained that they were husband and wife. The two were used to it, and outsiders naturally saw them as husband and wife, who could think of them. Young and not a real couple?"

  The queen mother was silent for a while, and then gradually said happily: "This is fine. Since it is going to be done, it is natural to do it better. I will give them some rewards later."

The empress dowager is old, and she always likes to join in the fun and happy events, but now she is even more excited, her eyes turned and said: "If you want to do it, you have to do it in a decent way. How can fiancées live together? Go back and let Chunxi live there. Go to Qin's house, otherwise they will be sent to the palace, and their husband and wife will not be allowed to meet again, until they become relatives."

  Queen: "..."
