Chapter 40 Don't worry about things that are not yours
Gu Chaodong was puzzled and angry. He looked at Prime Minister Gu and said, "It's time for the scientific examination. If I enter the palace with you, it will be decent and beneficial to the Gu family. But the fourth brother is ignorant, ignorant of the rules, so he goes into the palace." If someone offends you, father, you need to clean up, so why take him there?"

Prime Minister Gu glanced at him: "This is what the emperor himself said, and there is nothing I can do for my father."

It was his luck. Gu Chaodong was extremely irritable. He knew that he couldn't change it, but he still couldn't help complaining.

"Okay, you go back and prepare for the scientific examination." Gu Chengxiang sighed: "You are already sure to win the championship, so you don't have to worry about the rest. There is a vacancy for the position of servant in the Ministry of Punishment, so I arranged for a student to sit for my father. If you After passing the scientific examination, I will give you a good word to the queen and make room for you."

Gu Chaodong's face looked better, he pursed his lips and lowered his head: "Thank you, father."

"You are different from Bei'er, so you don't need to target him." Gu Chengxiang said meaningfully: "There will be no shortage of what should be yours, and you won't be able to grab what is not yours."

Some did not understand this, but Gu Chaodong still nodded: "Yes."

If he gets an official position, he can move out of the prime minister's residence.Then think of a way to transfer the fourth brother far away from the capital or directly ruthless, Yan'er will return to him sooner or later.

The plan was foolproof, Gu Chaodong smiled, saluted Prime Minister Gu, then turned and left the study.

"The Fourth Young Madam is really Wangfu's life. Look, the Fourth Young Master was not upright in the past, but now he will follow her to save the refugees in the prison. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have saved the emperor by accident. Got the chance to enter the palace."

"Isn't it? But I heard that the official seals of Jing Zhaoyin and Shen Shilang have been taken away by the emperor. Shen Shilang is the father of the Fourth Young Madam. This is a bit embarrassing."

As Gu Chaodong listened, the regret in his heart became even more overwhelming.He should have not married Shen Guiya in the first place, anyway, he would not be able to escape if he was pregnant, so it is the same if he greets Yan'er first and then accepts her.

It is said that Mrs. Shen's family provoked Sheng's wrath, and Shen Guiya is his own daughter, so he naturally wants to avoid it now.If the emperor thinks about it one day, don't ruin his future.

"Master."

Just now, he was thinking of hiding, but when he stepped through the moon gate, he saw Shen Guiya coming over in a fancy suit.

Gu Chaodong frowned: "Bao Shi made a mistake, your father's official seal was confiscated, and you still dress so brightly?"

Shen Guiya imitated the skills of the people here today and prepared snacks for him to try, but she didn't expect her hot face to be attached to her cold ass, so she was unhappy immediately: "It's just that the official seal was confiscated, isn't there still a father-in-law, can you intercede?" ? Why should I dress like a funeral?"

Gu Chaodong snorted coldly: "Without any filial piety, you can move to the wing on the east side. The main house is vacant, and I want to move in."

Shen Guiya stared: "I'm still pregnant."

What is the difference between the wing room on the east side and the place where the servants live!Is this man crazy?She didn't do anything wrong, so why should she treat her like this?

Gu Chaodong was just looking for an excuse to snub her, and it was considered to be in line with the current situation. Living on the east side would not cause a miscarriage, so what does it have to do with pregnancy.

He didn't say any more, just passed Shen Guiya and went to order his servants.Shen Guiya followed him and took two steps, stomping her feet angrily.

This man is so selfish!She originally wanted to rely on him to live, but who would have thought that he has no feelings at all, so he is not as cute as Gu Chaobei!
"Miss." The jade comb behind him came up and said, "Why are you angry again? Didn't Aunt Guan say last time that you should not always be angry and follow the rules here?"

"What rules are there?" Shen Guiya muffled, "He's going to send me to the Cold Court!"

"It must be that Miss has done something that is not good enough." Yu Shu said softly: "Let's go back and think about it carefully, the young master in this mansion holds up half the sky, no matter how angry you are, there is nothing you can do about him."

Shen Guiya took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Not only did she not have the beauty of other time-traveling women in this ancient time, but she was so overwhelmed by Shen Guiyan that she couldn't hold her head up, it shouldn't be.She was a little presumptuous at first, but now she has restrained herself a bit, wait for the opportunity, there will always be a day when she will shine.

Today's empress dowager is the empress's biological aunt, but she is only the emperor's adoptive mother. The emperor respects and filially treats her, but the empress dowager always feels that there is no blood relationship, so she helps the empress to win over the officials in the court.Half of the court memorials will be sent to the East Palace first, and it is said that those who are the queen's rooster in the morning will be burned first.

It's not that the emperor doesn't know, it's just that there's nothing he can do about it. Most of the military power in the world is in the hands of the empress dowager. It's not easy for him to secure the throne.

Shen Guiyan changed Gu Chaobei's clothes while carefully checking if there was anything wrong with her.

"When you enter the palace, don't be too presumptuous. Although you are the son of the prime minister, you have no official position. If you embarrass your father-in-law, he will definitely punish you again when he comes back."

Gu Chaobei yawned boredly: "Isn't it just a slightly more noble person in a bigger house? Why are you so nervous, the more nervous you are, the more wrong you are, why not relax."

Shen Guiyan took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "I also want to relax, but when I think of seeing the emperor, I really can't calm down."

"Is the emperor that amazing?" Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Aren't they all human?"

"It's different." Shen Guiyan fastened his belt on him: "As an emperor, he commands the world and commands the Kyushu. It's not something that everyone can do by worrying about the people in the world. Naturally, it's worthy of admiration."

Gu Chaobei was taken aback for a moment, then pursed his lips: "I thought the emperor was the three thousand beauties in the harem, the one who enjoys eating, drinking and having fun."

"Have you ever seen my concubine wearing four golden walking yokes?" Shen Guiyan asked with a smile.

"I've seen it before." Gu Chaobei said: "It's very gorgeous and looks good, but it's a pity you only wore it once."

"That's because the more gorgeous jewelry you wear, the heavier it will be." Shen Guiyan stretched out her hands to straighten his robe: "It's still fair, God gives you as much scenery as you have to put in. So , You see the emperor is happy, but he doesn't know how much hard work is behind it."

Gu Chaobei was startled, lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Why do you feel that you have become more and more like a master recently?"

"Ah, is that so?" Shen Guiyan said shyly: "Recently I talked about this with Mrs. Zhou, and I told my husband without knowing it. I know that my husband doesn't like to hear it, so let's just pretend I didn't hear it. After sorting it out, let's go Some go to the door and wait for the father-in-law."

"Okay." Gu Chaobei took her hand and walked out the door.

Today's Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, everyone can talk freely in the imperial garden in the afternoon, have a banquet in the evening, and there will be singing, dancing and musical instruments to add to the fun at night, the arrangement is extremely carefree.

Prime Minister Gu instructed Gu Chaobei many times along the way: "Remember not to contradict anyone, if you contradict a nobleman, even if you are a father, you will not be able to protect you."

"My son knows." Gu Chaobei was a little impatient, these people are really too wordy.

Today Yuwen Changqing's [-] troops have been guarding outside the capital, and he also came to the palace to celebrate his birthday. It is said that the order to transfer troops was placed in the hands of the deputy general, and the deputy general followed the order directly.

What to do?Gu Chaobei sneered, the emperor is really, his wife is thinking of helping his son usurp the throne, but he still wanders out of the palace. Although he was given a chance to enter the palace, isn't he in danger now?

Fortunately, Yan'er still admires him, an emperor who can't even protect himself, what is there to admire.

While slandering, but still helping to find a way.

Entering the imperial garden, there are courtiers everywhere, and there are few wives.Prime Minister Gu was quickly dragged away, so Gu Chaobei took Shen Guiyan to find a quieter corridor to sit down.

"The palace is so prosperous." Shen Guiyan couldn't help sighing: "Qionglou Yuyu is really different from other places."

"Do you like it?" Gu Chaobei asked.

Shen Guiyan was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Everyone likes beautiful things, but if it is not my own, I will not miss it."

"Really..." Gu Chaobei couldn't help but chuckle, he really married a daughter-in-law who is extremely upright.

"General Yuwen, there are few people here, please come here." A man in official uniform graciously ushered them over.As soon as Gu Chaobei turned his head and saw him, he acted as if he hadn't seen him, his eyes drifted away, and he turned to look at the scenery.
