The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 224 I wouldn't have broken my mouth without him!

Today, Chu Jin learned from Linglong and made a box of chestnut cakes. He Gong was full of praise after tasting it, so she happily carried the chestnut cakes to Chaoyang Palace.

When he came, he saw Liu Qimao leaning forward and head towards the main hall, so he patted him abruptly on the back.

Liu Qi was so frightened that he screamed miserably, he rubbed his chest and turned his head, seeing that it was Chu Jin who came, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Oh, empress, you are trying to scare the servant to death! "

"What are you looking at? Spying on the emperor furtively, but recently the emperor didn't reward you, are you itchy?"

"The empress loves this servant, so don't tell the emperor that this servant is watching you secretly." Liu Qi approached Chu Jin with a smile all over his face, pointed at the palace with his fingertips, and Chu Jin murmured, "Yes It's really interesting that the national teacher is arguing with the emperor over the matter of 30 taels of silver."

"Huh? Let me see~~"

After Liu Qi said this, Chu Jin also became interested, so he pulled Liu Qi to hide behind the door, watching the two people who were arguing endlessly in the hall.

"Do you think this is how the account is calculated?" Xuan Jue threw the abacus on the table to Gu Chengge, "I promised you to pay for your food and lodging, but you have to pay for the monthly bills of the servants and maids in your house yourself." Right? Are you pointing at me to support your entire family?"

"There is only this minister in my family, and the emperor is not willing to support me. What else do I expect." Gu Chengge took the abacus, and Yibi beat the abacus until it crackled. Six taels of silver, five taels of silver for a maidservant, 40 taels for eight maidservants, 30 taels for five servants, and a total of 70 taels. Weichen pays 500 taels of silver per month, and after deducting 70 taels, there is still 430 taels. The emperor sent 400 taels to the humble minister, isn’t it just 30 taels short? That’s right.”

"Doesn't your monthly bill pay taxes to the court? How can the court support you without money?"

"Then the emperor can't use the monthly money from the humble minister to support the humble minister."

"It's not that I said you, it's good to get money if you have money, what do you care about?"

Gu Chengge looked helpless, "What's the fuss about me? It's clear that the emperor is fussing over me."

"I am haggling with you?" Xuan Jue sneered again and again, "Is the 30 taels of silver worth it?"

Gu Chengge muttered in a low voice, "It's not worth being an emperor, and you're still muttering to me here for a long time. You should give it to me."

"You mean I'm stingy? I don't even think about my lazy appearance every day, whether it's worth getting so much salary from the court for nothing in a month."

"I didn't say that your majesty is stingy, you said it yourself. You gave me the 30 taels of silver, and it would be over. You have a lot of time to deal with, and you insist on listening to me arguing with you for two hours Is it over?"

Standing behind the door, Chu Jin was delighted to hear the conversation between these two big men.

Broken mouth meets broken mouth, it is really unreasonable.

What's more, there are two stingy men who are both stingy.

She whispered a few words to Liu Qi, and then carried the chestnut cake into the main hall.

Xuan Jue and Gu Chengge saw her as if they had seen a savior, and Qi Qi asked Chu Jin to help judge.

Chu Jin listened to the two of them, you and I, were more tacit than the one who talked about double reeds, and only after they finished talking about the cause and effect of the matter, did they frowned and looked at Gu Chengge in a slightly reprimanded tone: "This is what happened. It is the fault of the national teacher. The emperor will give you a salary, and you can take as much as you want. Anyone will make a mistake, but the emperor will not. You have been arguing with the emperor for a long time, and you have lost the courtesy of a monarch and minister."

"Did you hear that?" Xuan Jue glanced at Gu Chengge quite proudly, "The queen also said that I was right, does the national teacher still want to argue with me?"

Gu Chengge shook his head and sighed helplessly, "That's all, 400 taels is 400 taels. I just accept my fate."

Seeing his 'lost' leaving back, Xuan Jue couldn't help laughing.

He took the box of chestnut cakes in Chu Jin's hand, sniffed it and said expectantly, opened the lid, took one and stuffed it into his mouth, "I don't know who Jin'er knew before. Who, how did a big man pick and search? He even gave birth to a broken mouth, which is really embarrassing for a man."

? ? ? ?
In the end who is digging and who is talking, don't you know?
Chu Jin looked at Xuan Jue in bewilderment, besides smiling awkwardly, she didn't know how to reply to his words.

After leaving the Chaoyang Palace, Gu Chengge was pulled aside by Liu Qi, and took out a 50 taels of silver note from his sleeve and handed it to him, "The national teacher has taken it, this is from the empress."

"This"

"The empress has said that the emperor has that temperament, so don't argue with him." Liu Qi covered his mouth and sniggered, and went off to work in the dust.

Gu Chengge held the 50 taels of silver note in his hand, with a smile on his face.

It is joyful to have money, but there are things that are more joyful than money.

Gu Chengge walked all the way to the east gate to leave the palace, but was told by the guards guarding the gate that the red paint had fallen off and was being renovated, and asked him to leave the palace by the north gate.

To go to the north gate to leave the palace, you have to pass through the West Sixth Palace. Gu Chengge has not set foot in the West Sixth Palace since he became an extremely powerful minister.

He had heard about the turmoil in Youdu in the past few days, and the West Sixth Palace was a place of right and wrong. He didn't want to stop too much, so he walked quickly towards the north gate.

When passing by the Royal Garden, I saw a woman standing at the end of the bridge, with a slightly protruding lower abdomen, which seemed to be pregnant. Presumably she was the rumored pregnant queen of Youdu, Zhao Sijin.

Out of curiosity, Gu Chengge slowed down and looked at her for a while.

She was good-looking, but her expression was a little sad, full of sorrow and pity.

Jiang Mubai's whereabouts are unknown, and the child in her womb lost her father before it was born, so it is really embarrassing for her to be a queen.

Sighing that her life is too short, Gu Chengge was about to leave, but saw a man in black with a black veil approaching Zhao Sijin tiptoely.

Gu Chengge saw something wrong at a glance, and shouted: "Be careful behind you!"

Zhao Sijin turned her head in surprise, and the man in black had already pushed her hand.

There was no way to avoid it, so he was pushed off the bridge by the man in black, and then fled as if flying away.

Under the bridge is a water source that is almost exhausted. If Zhao Sijin falls, not to mention the fetus in the womb, it is unknown whether her life can be saved.

Gu Chengge turned his hands into sword fingers, gathered Qi at his fingertips, and swung vigorously in the direction where Zhao Sijin fell.

An invisible force gathered under Zhao Sijin's body, holding her firmly, and slowly lifting her back to the ground.

Zhao Sijin felt all this with a surprised face, until she stood firmly on the ground again, trying to recover from the surprise and shock.

Gu Chengge didn't intend to communicate with her, but when he turned to leave, Zhao Sijin called him, "You are Dazhao's national teacher, Gu Chengge?"

Gu Chengge stopped, looked back at her with a grin, "How does Empress You know the name of the humble minister?"

Zhao Sijin raised his eyebrows and said: "Doesn't the national teacher also know the identity of this seat?"

The two looked at each other from a distance, and the corners of their lips raised in unison.
