Xu Ziqian left, and the emperor was still busy in the imperial study, and he could not see his joy or anger.

The time was not long, and the Empress came with a plate of pastries in person, "No matter how busy the Emperor is, he should take care of himself. I just heard from the people in the imperial kitchen that you were not feeling well after eating half a bowl of rice at noon?

They are tired of making it. What do you want to eat to send someone to tell me, and I want to get it."

The emperor smiled, "The queen has trouble. But the breakfast was a bit greasy and I lost my appetite at noon. You were just serving this pastry."

He picked up a piece of it with great shame and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's not bad, it was sent by Prince Ping's Mansion?"

The Empress smiled, "Your Majesty, don't think about Princess Jiashan when you see something new? This is a pastry from my hometown. I accidentally thought about it. I heard that the emperor has no appetite, so I specially made it for you to try it.

of."

The emperor smiled quite entertainingly, "Then she didn't bring you delicious food when she entered the palace today?"

The Empress covered her mouth and smiled, "She has a body now, and her family is very expensive, but she can't bear to let her cook. She came here specially today because of the matter of Guan family. She was worried that you wouldn't have time to scold you, so how dare you take me

What foods are annoying? Could it be that who would let her go so easily for those foods?”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "What does this have to do with the county horse?"

Queen Wang said in a few words about Ouyang Kang's visit to the Guan family, shook her head and smiled, "The boy from the Guan family is making such a fuss now, all because of Junma's words. Although he was unintentional, it was annoying. The princess

When I come to my place, I dare not ask you for forgiveness. I just want to say whether I can pity her, a pregnant woman, and at least don’t punish her family’s county horses so that they can’t see anyone.”

Gao Xian couldn't help laughing, and his displeasure disappeared.

If Nianfu said something else, he might have left a shadow in his heart. However, Nianfu admits his mistakes honestly, and pretends to be pitiful, and treats him as a relative. He feels that this is nothing wrong.

It's a big deal.

Ouyang Kang and Guan Yaozu are in good terms. That is what the whole capital knows. If something happens to the Guan family, he will hide away, which makes people feel ruthless and unrighteous. And Ouyang Kang is not wrong, if Pei Yaoqing is a daughter

, He can really be proud of himself, but he is a man. Then...

Gao Xian hesitated.

Pei Xingyan knew this person so well, he was really a loyal and upright person. Not to mention anything else, his whole family was taken to prison this time, how many people were in the family? There were only thirteen servants, and his family property was even thinner.

It must be almost negligible. This is probably too poor to be ranked in the capital.

But such a good person can be a subordinate to conquer the world. He is really not suitable to be an official.

Gao Xian put him in the Imperial College because he was afraid that he would make a mistake. He thought he could keep his life safe, but he jumped into the fire pit himself.

For the sake of the emperor's dignity, he could not keep him. But when he thought about his brotherly friendship back then, he felt a little reluctant. Therefore, in his rage, he also sentenced the Pei family to the prison, rather than the Li Jue.

Perhaps this time Ouyang Kang helped him solve a big problem by chance?

"Empress, since the princess has asked you, how do you think I will punish them?"

Hearing the emperor's tone, Empress Wang felt a little relieved, "I am a woman, how can I understand such military and national affairs? But I remembered an old incident in the previous dynasty. I remember that Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty had a favorite concubine, Zhao, who was known as

Born to clench your hands into a fist, you can't stretch it. But as soon as you arrive in front of Emperor Wu, your hands stretched out and took out a jade hook, which was called a good omen and included in the biography of the concubines. I used to believe it deeply.

But when I gave birth to the baby, I couldn't help but wonder, if the jade hairpin was brought from the fetus, how did it get into my stomach before? Even if it got into my stomach early in the morning, the child got a little blood from his stomach.

When it grows, what is holding the jade hook? Don’t you feel so uncomfortable?”

Gao Xian laughed when he heard this, and Queen Wang continued, "Later, I went to read the book again, and saw a passage in the book saying that Zhao's appearance was very beautiful. I also thought that if Zhao's appearance was mediocre, it would be like nothing.

What will happen to her situation like a salt mother? Perhaps my mistakes are wrong. The things in this world cannot be inferred by common sense. However, the right and wrong in this are just about believing it or not."

Gao Xian nodded slightly, already having an idea in his mind, "Since the identity of the Pei family is doubtful, the queen will go and investigate with a few internal officials."

Queen Wang understood, "If it was really a woman, the matter of the inner court should be handled by me, so the emperor would not have to worry about it."

This is taking the responsibility over. If she finds out that something is wrong, her reputation will be hers in the future and it will not be the emperor's business.

Gao Xian nodded and Queen Wang left.

After sending out the people, I was happy and sighed.

Of course, I am happy that I live up to Princess Jiashan's entrusted, and I hope that someone will be left under the knife. But I sigh that the Guan family's reputation was destroyed, and Guan Yaozu's future was gone.

"Absolutely not possible!"

In the prison, Pei Xingyan had not been punished, but he had not washed up for many days and was already in a mess. But his eyes were as clear as usual. He looked at the person in front of him and said righteously, "How come our Pei family is

Is there such a slutty rat? I advise you not to think about it, so as not to leave a laughing stock for a lifetime. After several years, I regret it!"

Guan Yaozu knelt straight in front of the teacher, with a sad face and a determined expression, "Yes, I am a rat, I live in vain, I am still greedy for death. Sir, you knew it long ago before you accepted it as my disciple? If it weren't for my father, please

, You definitely won't accept me, right?"

Pei Xingyan looked at him, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

So Guan Yaozu continued, "I'm not a good person, so if all your family dies, as a disciple, I have to collect your corpses. In the future, the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival, I will also have to visit you to the grave.

, lazy, bad and unmotivated, most of them cannot remember these troublesome things. If you don’t do it well, you will definitely be scolded by the world. So I will get Yaoqing out, which is not to repay your great kindness.

I just want to save myself some trouble."

He sniffed his nose and said with his head raised, "Sir, you are kind and righteous. Why not just fulfill your apprentice and leave someone to clean up these messes for your apprentice... Who knows what happened several years later? Now, can you do it?

Be happy when you are happy. Anyway, your apprentice is not a day or two. Even if it is a bit ridiculous, what can you do if it is a bit ridiculous?"

Pei Xingyan's throat rolled, and his eyes finally showed a true feeling of flashing water.

"Yaozu, you...you really don't have to do this!"

"Senior brother, I don't want you to do this..." Pei Yaoqing climbed up with tears in his face. "My family is a criminal minister, you don't need to collect our bodies, let alone visit your grave... You've just got engaged and will marry your sister-in-law next spring.

It's... "

"Get out of here, there is no point in talking!" Guan Yaozu roared, his eyes flushed. He turned to Pei Xingyan and kowtowed three times. Then he wiped his face hard and stood up, "Anyway,

I have already let go of the words, and you can choose what you want to do. If you really want to die, I can't stop you. Whoever lets me meet your family in this life can only admit that I have no luck!"

He strode away. Pei Xingyan suddenly choked behind him and said with a sob. "You are a good child, I have known for a long time... I didn't accept you as your disciple, but it was not your father's force."

Guan Yaozu stopped and his body shook so loudly. He wanted to turn around, but he left without looking back.

Pei Xingyan raised his hand and stroked his son's head tremblingly, and moved his lips. He seemed to want to say something, but he had not said it yet. The people sent by the palace were here.

Wearing a dress of women's clothing, a pair of jewelry, and a needle.

The eunuch in charge of the head coughed twice, "I heard that Mr. Pei was originally a daughter, and he was given clothes and jewelry by the queen. It was time to thorn these ears and eyes."

“No need.”

Pei Xingyan suddenly reached out and stroked his son's earlobe, "He was thorny when he was a kid."

Wasn't that because he was afraid that he wouldn't be raised? Pei Yaoqing looked at his father with tears in his eyes, "Dad, I'm with you...I'm not afraid of death..."

Pei Xingyan smiled with tears in his eyes, "Silly child, if it were in the past... you naturally would have to be with your father, but now... go with your senior brother."

"Dad!" Pei Yaoqing was shocked and tears surged like a spring.

"Let's go!" Pei Xingyan pushed his son hard and refused to look at him again.

The farce at Zhenyuan Hou Mansion ended in a dramatic way.

The queen issued an imperial edict from the central palace, severely condemning Mrs. Zhenyuan for being incompetent and indulging in the children, causing trouble. Not only did she take away Mrs. Guan’s imperial edict, she also gave Pei Yaoqing to Guan Yaozu as her wife.

It is also stated that Guan Yaozu was not allowed to take a concubine unless he had no son forty years.

Tianwei has never been a good challenge.

If the Guan family wants to reap people from the emperor, they must pay the same price.

Guan Tianxiao, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, immediately submitted a memorial, claiming that he was not strict in governing his family and was incompetent in discipline. He took the initiative to hand over military power and returned home to support his elderly care.

At this moment, Guan Yaozu still has one thing to do.

Changling, Shen family.

Ouyang Kang sat in the hall, and he knelt outside the door.

This place is colder than the capital. It just snowed heavily yesterday, and it was so deep that it was knee-deep. Guan Yaozu was kneeling in the snow and ice. He didn't even wear a thick cotton jacket, but just a thin single dress.

Once he blew, the flesh could even be exposed. And he was carrying a big stick on his back.

Shen Bolun didn't know what attitude he wanted to use to greet the son-in-law who apologized for guilt. Ouyang Kang didn't say much, but just silently put down the Wending ceremony given by the Shen family in the past.

"... My wife couldn't tell anyone clearly and misled her relatives. She originally wanted to come to apologize in person, but now she is pregnant, so I have to come. If you have any requests, please let my cousin tell me, it's no matter how difficult it is.

And try to complete it."

"You are polite, aunt did not mislead me!" Shin Min said loudly with tears in her eyes, came out of the inner room, and knelt in front of Shin Bolun, "Dad, my daughter has already promised the Guan family, how can I easily regret it? Then

The Pei family...the sister is the emperor's wife, and the daughter is willing to be a concubine."

"But I don't want you!" Guan Yaozu, who was kneeling outside the door, heard it and roared, "When I am forty, you are so old? Of course, you have to take a concubine to be young and beautiful. Who wants a concubine at such an old age?

I beg you, go get married, don’t harm me, okay?"

Shin Min could no longer hold it back and burst into tears.

She had only had a beautiful dream for half a year, and it was broken in the snow and ice.
