Chapter 304 Vigilance

The Empress Dowager Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun said something in Kunning Palace for half a day.

After Zhu Zhongjun "recovered", he had lived in Kunning Palace for four or five days, and the Empress Dowager was able to accept him.

She knows how Zhu Zhongjun became stupid.

At that time, he followed the prince to ride a horse and fell off the horse.

But the last half of the sentence didn't mention what happened in those years.

She didn't ask Zhu Zhongjun if he remembered that year.

She just told Zhu Zhongjun that the emperor loved him very much, and the empress dowager also loved him very much, so that he should be loyal to the king and share the worries for the emperor in the future.

"You only have a brother like the emperor." The Empress Dowager took Zhu Zhongjun's hand and said earnestly, "After a hundred years of your mother, you two brothers will depend on each other. You have to remember what the mother said.

She was worried that in case Zhu Zhongjun was stupid, it was really caused by the emperor, and the two brothers turned against each other, so she used words to suppress Zhongjun's desire for revenge.

The Empress Dowager has only two sons, which is all her dependence and sustenance.

"Yes, mother, don't worry." Zhu Zhongjun said.

The Empress Dowager nodded.

Then, she took Gu Jinzhi's hand and asked her to take good care of Zhu Zhongjun: "... You don't have to go to the palace these days. I was relieved to know that you took care of Zhong Jun.

Gu Jin's way is.

The Empress Dowager was afraid that she would stay them for too long, and the emperor's displeasure added another layer.

She told a few more words. Finally, she was afraid that Gu Jinzhi would be unhappy, so she gave Gu Jinzhi a green emerald ring in her hand.

That ring is worn by the Empress Dowager all year round.

Gu Jinzhi's wear is a little loose.

She knew that most of the women inside and outside had seen this ring, and it was the queen's beloved thing. It was given to Gu Jinzhi, representing the Empress Dowager's praise for Gu Jinzhi.

She was happy to take it.

"It's a little loose." The Empress Dowager put it on for her in person and said with a smile, "Retain it and wear it later. When Zhong Jun was three years old, he recited the 'Yongye' in the Analects of Confucius in front of the emperor, a total of 30 chapters. He recited fluently, and the emperor was overjoyed. He said that Zhongjun was born and smart, which was the credit of the mourning family and rewarded many things. This emerald ring is my favorite. I have been wearing it for more than ten years..."

Gu Jinzhi quickly refused.

"A gentleman does not take away what people love." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Xiao Qixin has understood the beauty of the Empress Dowager. The meaning of this ring is unusual, and Xiaoqi dares not accept it.

The Empress Dowager stuffed it into her hand and said, "It's just unusual, so I rewarded Xiaoqi. If it's an ordinary thing, how can it be worthy of Xiaoqi?

This is a high praise for Gu Jinzhi's credit this time.

Gu Jinzhi said thank you again.

Then, she and Zhu Zhongjun left the palace.

Aunt Cheng sent the two of them in person.

After sending Gu Jinzhi and Gu Jinzhi away, Aunt Cheng still returned to Kunning Palace.

On the way, she met Zhang Shufei, who came to comfort her.

The Empress Dowager valued Concubine Zhang Shu before and wanted to train her to counterbalance Concubine Tan, but Aunt Cheng knew it. But later, Concubine Zhang seemed to feel that the Empress Dowager was too quiet and inaction. Although the emperor was filial, the Empress Dowager did not do anything, and the Empress Dowager's words were useless. She no longer relied on the Empress Dowager, but colluded with Concubine Tan.

She wants to fight for self-reliance.

In the past few years, she has become more and more dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager.

Aunt Cheng is the confidant of the Empress Dowager.

Her attitude towards everyone is a hint of the Empress Dowager.

People in the palace like to speculate about the feelings of the empress dowager. Since the last time she talked with the emperor about the queen's choice, she knew that the emperor no longer liked Concubine Zhang, and the empress dowager did not mind letting people know that she was not satisfied with Concubine Zhang.

So, when I saw Zhang Shufei, Aunt Cheng was a little cold for the first time.

"...The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I don't know if the Empress Dowager is in good physical well?" Zhang Shufei smiled and asked Aunt Cheng.

Aunt Cheng is usually very estranged from these concubines. She is good at getting along with anyone and does not get involved in right and wrong, so her attitude has changed, but she knows in her heart that it is not obvious on the surface.

Zhang Shufei was a little wary in her heart. After thinking about it, she didn't care too much and thought she was too careful.

Aunt Cheng is not cold or hot: "The Empress Feng is peaceful, and Concubine Shu has bothered it."

Concubine Zhang was still smiling and greeting her kindly: "That's good, my concubine is also at ease."

After asking the empress dowager, she asked the eldest princess again.

The eldest princess and the second princess were taken by the Empress Dowager a few years ago and are still in the side hall of Kunning Palace.

We have been together for a long time, and the Empress Dowager loves the two granddaughters very much. The older the two princesses became more sensible, and the more reluctant the empress dowager was to move back to their respective palaces.

Zhang Shufei is the biological mother of the eldest princess.

"The eldest princess is also good." Aunt Cheng said.

The two walked slowly to Kunning Palace. Aunt Cheng did not take the initiative to say anything. Zhang Shufei had nothing to say and was close to Aunt Cheng.

"...Which lady should I send out of the palace, Mrs. Ning?" Zhang Shufei asked again.

Aunt Cheng didn't want to answer this question, so she said, "The Empress Dowager is still waiting for the maidservant to do the matter. Mother, the maidservant takes the lead."

He quickly returned to Kunning Palace.

Zhang Shufei was stunned.

She was finally sure that she felt that Aunt Cheng was a little indifferent, not her illusion.

Her footsteps floated.

Zhang Shufei arrived slowly.

The Empress Dowager is always kind and kind on the surface. Her attitude towards every concubine is the same, so the people in the palace can't tell who she likes and doesn't like from her attitude.

Like Fang, Aunt Cheng's indifference to Zhang Shufei, Zhang Shufei knew that the Empress Dowager might not like her.

She was a little nervous and still smiled and greeted the Empress Dowager.

After talking for a long time, Zhang Shufei said that she would go to the side hall to see the eldest princess: "I heard that the eldest princess has begun to study, and I haven't come to see her for a long time."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said to Aunt Cheng, "Go and bring the eldest princess..."

She didn't let Zhang Shufei go to see the eldest princess alone.

This is a very bad signal, which makes Zhang Shufei's heart ring the alarm.

She was a little surprised.

This is the first time that the Empress Dowager has done this to her, and so has Aunt Cheng.

Before the earth dragon turned over, the empress dowager and the emperor did not pass the gas. Who was the queen?

Previously, the Empress Dowager proposed Zhang Shufei, and the emperor also agreed. Later, what Zhang Shufei did did not have the demeanor of the mother's world at all, which disappointed the Empress Dowager.

Although she was disappointed and didn't get an accurate letter, the Empress Dowager didn't want to treat Zhang Shufei lightly, which made people panic.

Now, she has told the emperor about choosing another position, and she doesn't have so many scruples.

Her attitude towards Zhang Shufei today will spread all over the Forbidden Palace tomorrow.

The Empress Dowager doesn't matter.

Looking at Zhang Shufei's slightly changed face, the Empress Dowager was still kind.

Aunt Cheng personally went to bring the eldest princess over.

On the third day of birth, the eldest princess has her own palace. Feeding her and taking care of her are all the concubines in the palace.

When she was three years old, she was received by the Empress Dowager to Kunning Palace. Grandma is her closest person.

She is almost six years old now.

Zhang Shufei can't see the eldest princess several times a year.

This biological mother is no different from other concubines in the palace for the eldest princess. She doesn't even like Zhang Shufei's charming appearance.

She called the concubine, took Aunt Cheng's hand tightly and leaned against Aunt Cheng, with some vigilance and politeness.

Maybe she has been like this since she was a child. Zhang Shufei did not realize that the child was not close to her.

She is full of the attitude of the Empress Dowager at this moment.

She smiled and asked the eldest princess about her recent homework.

The eldest princess only began to read and read this year. It was not only two months at the beginning, and she met the earth dragon again.

Her homework also stopped.

"...It's just tracing red." She whispered, "My mother is worried about it."

Zhang Shufei asked her again if she was in good health.

The child is not used to doing family routines, and the eldest princess just answered indirectly.

Zhang Shufei's words can't be continued.

She had to stand up and say goodbye.

This time, she just wanted to see the eldest princess and walk to the empress dowager without any special purpose.

The result surprised her.

On the way back to her palace, Zhang Shufei walked slowly.

She is a very smart person.

The Empress Dowager's attitude and Aunt Cheng's inadvertently expressed her emotions still surprised her. She didn't know what she had done, which made the Empress Dowager so disgusted.

Over the years, she has been calculating step by step.

She wanted not only to offend Tan Guifei in exchange for her trust, but also not to offend the Empress Dowager.

If it is exquisite on all sides, she is the only one in this palace.

Even Tan Guifei is not as good as her.

Concubine Tan lives a better life than her, but her mother's family is very powerful. Her sister is the first queen, and the eldest prince is her nephew.

Without these, where would Tan Guifei be Zhang Shufei's opponent?

Back in the palace, Zhang Shufei sat alone for a long time.

She called Li Ping, the eunuch in her palace, and asked him, "Didn't the fourth lady of the Ning family send me some homemade rouge to this palace? Go to the warehouse and look for a suitable object. I will return the gift to Miss Ning Die.

The fourth lady of the Ning family refers to Ning Yu, the niece of the Empress Dowager's family.

She has been married to the eighth young master of the Tan family and will get married after the New Year.

Since she made an order, Ning Yan has tried to get close to Tan Guifei.

At the same time, she also showed her goodwill to Zhang Shufei.

Zhang Shufei didn't like Ning Yu's ambiguous attitude, so last time Ning Yu gave Tan Guifei her homemade rouge, which was also given to the Empress Dowager and Zhang Shufei. Zhang Shufei just understated and asked the eunuch to say thank you and gave a gold bracelet as a gift.

Did you offend the Ning family?

But Zhang Shufei clearly heard that the Empress Dowager didn't like to get close to the Ning family and the palace.

After Ning Yu gave a gift, she was severely disciplined by the Empress Dowager, and then she didn't dare. Zhang Shufei knew that she had done a good job, but why did she offend the Empress Dowager again?

She wanted to see if there were any signs from Ning Yu.

"Mother, didn't you return the gift last time?" Li Ping whispered, "If you send something again, Miss Ning Si may not like it. I heard that the fourth lady of the Ning family inquired about Miss Gu with her father-in-law next to the Empress Dowager last time. The maidservant heard that the fourth lady of the Ning family and the seventh lady of the Gu family were at a discord. I guess Miss Seven went to the palace again today. What is she doing here? I'm afraid Miss Ning is the most concerned..."

Zhang Shufei's eyes are slightly bright.

"What is Miss Gu Jiaqi doing in the palace now?" Zhang Shufei said, "Go and inquire about it."

Li Pingdao is.

When Li Ping went out to inquire about the matter, Zhang Shufei suddenly thought: Is the attitude of the Empress Dowager and Aunt Cheng aimed at her Zhang, or was she just caught up by the Zhang family because she was angry with Miss Gu?

Last time, Miss Gu Jiaqi and the emperor were alone in the Qianqing Palace for half an hour, but they couldn't find out what they had done. Even Tan Guifei couldn't find it, which became the biggest secret in the palace.

Zhang Shufei suddenly woke up.

She still wants to see Ning Yu.
