The day to add makeup has not yet arrived, but the queen has already begun to choose things from the inner treasury to reward Li Baolu, and the reason is ready.

The new year is approaching, and the rewards for the officials in the palace are also beginning to be prepared. Gu Jingyun is a fourth-rank Hanlin, and he could not be rewarded at first, but he is in the heart of the emperor. Members leave the palace, and the value is even richer.

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

He comforted himself sourly in his heart, anyway, no matter how favored Gu Jingyun was, he would only be of the fourth grade, so why should they bother with him about these details?

After finishing the rewards of the fourth-rank Hanlin, it is time to use the excuse of the prince teacher to reward. For the sake of Gu Jingyun's hard work in teaching the prince, the emperor rewarded it first, the queen followed closely, and the prince and princess followed behind to make fun of it.

After rewarding Gu Jingyun, he excused that Li Baolu, the teacher's wife, had also worked hard, and gave another round of rewards, even the courtiers who didn't care about these rewards could smell something unusual.

Feeling worried, is it true that the emperor intends to ignore the sacred will of the first emperor and promote Gu Jingyun in an exceptional way?

If Gu Jingyun really wants to break the boundaries of the fourth rank and start to grasp the real power, then 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 the present, and the other is the teacher of the crown prince. They are both in the heart of the emperor. This is a rhythm that is against the sky.

Even Peng Dan, the first assistant who had always been calm, couldn't sit still, and provoked his son Peng Yu to find out what the prince said.

Although he is still the chief assistant of the cabinet, the emperor also counts on him, but the emperor trusts Qin Xinfang the most. The most important thing is that Qin Xinfang is very capable. With prestige, it is logical to take over the power from him.

If it weren't for him still occupying the position of Chief Assistant, there would probably be no room for him in the cabinet at this time.

Although his son Peng Yu was a student with the crown prince, his aptitude was mediocre, and it would be difficult to make further progress after he passed the imperial examination. He also knew that it might not be long before his son graduated from the imperial examination, so he was asked to do it as the prince's companion early on. He became an official of the prince.

As long as the crown prince ascends the throne, his son will naturally go to the court in the future, even if his foundation is worse than the two lists of Jinshi, he cannot worship the prime 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.

It doesn't matter that Qin Xinfang is stronger than him, but he has no son, and his only nephew is imprisoned in the fourth-rank Hanlin, but once Gu Jingyun breaks through that boundary, who can stop him from rising to the top?

Not only is he a Jinshi in two rankings, a young champion, he is very famous among scholars, he is also the teacher of the prince, and he has also shared joys and sorrows with the prince, and his wife even saved His Royal Highness the prince. With him here, wouldn't his son be crushed to death?

In that case, the situation he had painstakingly managed for fifteen years would be broken in an instant, and now his intention to avoid Qin Xinfang's sharpness would be useless. He, Peng Dan, would always be inferior to Qin Xinfang, and the Peng family would always be inferior to the Qin family.

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

And the other courtiers also gradually smelled a different smell, and spied on Qin Xinfang one after another. Could it be that His Majesty really wants to use Gu Jingyun again?

In fact, it is not impossible for the emperor to reuse Gu Jingyun. After all, everyone knows why the late emperor made such a holy will, but now that Qin Xinfang has been rehabilitated, what is the point of suppressing Gu Jingyun and not letting him stand out?

But seeing the Qin family rising so fast, everyone couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

Among them, the loyal and brave Hou Gu Laohou had the most complicated mood.

That's his grandson!

It's a pity that it's better not to have.

Qin Xinfang calmly responded to the inquiries from all parties, and only after getting into her own carriage did she break down her smiling face and hold her forehead with a headache.

Zhu Jun's brains are too wide open, what is it and what is it, can he tell them that everything is a misunderstanding, the emperor and the others are collecting the dowry with his nephew and giving his nephew and daughter-in-law a dowry?

Qin Xinfang could only let this misunderstanding continue.

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

"I heard that the courtyard of their house has just been renovated, and there must be a lot of things missing. Why don't you reward them with some precious flowers and trees next time, as well as some furniture and decorations, which must not be used?" The queen said here Sighing, "If you ask me to say that Chunxi is too easy on this aspect, I heard from the servant who delivered the decree that all the tables, chairs and benches in the Shianyuan were left by the old owner, and they have not been replaced at all."

The emperor laughed loudly, and said loudly: "You think she is the one who cares about these things. If she has money, she would rather spend it on food and drink than on changing furniture."

Thinking of Li Baolu's foodie nature, the queen also smiled helplessly, and took out a booklet from a plate beside her and said, "The foreign ministers donated a lot of furniture during the late emperor's time, 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 wooden furniture, whose value is no less than antiques, Gu Jingyun and the others definitely cannot afford it with their current wealth.

During the reign of the first emperor, the palace was renovated almost every year, and other palaces were built. Every year, some furniture was eliminated.

Therefore, the inner warehouse has to buy a batch of furniture every year.

After ascending the throne today, several repair and construction projects were stopped in the name of keeping filial piety. The people below all know that the new emperor is frugal, and no one dares to commit crimes in the limelight for the time being, so the furniture that was brought into the inner warehouse early has not been replaced. It's been piled up in the warehouse for the time being.

There are only three sons today, the prince is currently living in the prince's mansion, and it will take at least eight years for the other two princes to go out and open the mansion as adults, so these furniture are not available for the time being.

Why not give it to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu.

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

This time it wasn't a few servants holding a few boxes to quietly reward, because the furniture was huge and had to be pulled by a cart.

The two sets of furniture not only include tables, chairs and benches, but also huge screens and the Duobao Pavilion made of similar wood. One set needs three cars to pull it, and a line of six cars leaves the palace for Lingsheng Street. The things have not yet arrived at the Gu residence Soon, 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 for an audience. The first sentence he said was admonishing, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty loves the talent of serving and speaking, and because of this, I hope that 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 realized that the recent rewards seemed to be too much, but thinking that it would not be long before March next year, he coughed lightly and said: "This is not the New Year's Eve, I am thinking about Gu The attendant said that he worked hard for the prince, so he couldn't help but reward him more, of course, Zhuqing also worked hard this year."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Director Su, and said with a smile, "You go and choose ten silks yourself, and give a piece of Nanzhu to Zhu Qing."

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

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

The emperor smiled and waved his hands and said: "I know what you want to say, but I love you sincerely, and the gifts don't affect the country's foundation, so you can just let me go."

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

Several other ministers also looked at each other, seeing the emperor squinting his eyes and smiling in a good mood, after thinking about it for less than a month before New Year's Eve, it is really not easy to make the emperor angry at this time.

Forget it, His Majesty's rewarding Gu Jingyun so much now is just to build up momentum for him, and when they really want to reuse Gu Jingyun, they should speak out to persuade him.

However, the will of several ministers to advise is not strong. After all, Gu Jingyun is not a traitor, he is also a talented person. They are not without regrets, but if they reuse Gu Jingyun today, it will inevitably violate the sacred will of the late emperor, which involves the ancestors , even if they knew from their hearts that the first emperor was a fool, they didn't want the emperor to go against the will of the ancestors.

Except for Peng Dan and a small number of people whose interests will be touched because of Gu Jingyun's being reused, 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 by the way reduce the burden on the internal treasury, who knows would cause such a big misunderstanding.

Even the Empress Dowager, who is in the harem and has begun to ignore worldly affairs, knows it.

The queen mother asked the queen to ask, but the queen was still a little hesitant to tell her, but seeing the empress dowager's face was serious, she hurriedly told about Gu Jingyun's make-up wedding.

Worryingly said: "The mother also knows that the two children seem to have enough food and clothing, but in fact they are very poor. The properties allocated to them by the Zhongyonghou are all losses, and they have not received a tael of cash. The mansion is rich, but Qing and the child are arrogant, and it is impossible to rely on his uncle all the time, so the emperor and I thought about it, since the two children want to hold a make-up wedding, it must be more grand, otherwise it is not just a joke Once?"

The queen mother was dumbfounded, "A make-up wedding?"

The queen nodded and hinted: "After the new year, Chunxi will reach the age of Ji, and the two children will be able to consummate the house. My daughter-in-law heard from Zipei that when the two children got married, they planned to have a re-wedding, so Lian Xi I didn’t even do any clothes, I simply kowtowed to the Heaven and Earth Hall and then went to issue the marriage certificate.”

The queen mother widened her eyes, "Then why..."

The queen said helplessly: "The two children are young. When they left Qiongzhou, one was fourteen years old and the other was only eleven years old. How could they know to avoid taboos? Zipei guessed that they wanted to save money and safety, so the two of them Standing and lying together, and Qinghe didn't want Chunxi to be criticized and underestimated, so he introduced them to people early on as husband and wife. The two of them are used to it, and outsiders will naturally see them as a husband and wife. Who can think of them Haven't become a de facto couple at such a young age?"

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, and then gradually said cheerfully: "That's fine, since we have to do it, we must do it better, and I will reward them with something later."

The Queen Mother is getting older, she always loves to join in the fun and happy events, but now she is even more excited, she rolled her eyes and said: "If you want to do it, you have to do it in a decent way. How can a fiancé live together? You will let Chunxi live in the future." Go to Qin's house, otherwise they will be brought to the palace, and the husband and wife will not be allowed to meet again until they are married."

Queen: "..."
