Noticing Feng Ziying's surprised look, Guo Qinyun felt sour in her heart, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry. She has always shown a strong and domineering attitude in front of Feng Ziying.
Even if he couldn't stand it on the bed, he wouldn't beg for mercy easily.
In other aspects, she felt that she was a noble concubine, a woman of the emperor, and seemed to have a natural psychological advantage when facing a foreign minister like Feng Ziying.
But after Prince Yoshitaka ascended the throne as emperor, all this ceased to exist.
The original psychological advantages are gone.
She used to be the emperor's concubine, but now she is the emperor's concubine. The word "tai" means that everything is in the past tense, and her age suddenly increased by ten years.
What's even more serious is that they were kicked out and kept away from the center of the palace.
Everyone's eyes were no longer focused on them, but instead on the new queen and concubines.
Even though those old women have long since lost their appearance and become extremely old, they have now become the center of attraction among the people in the palace. Everything has changed. The number of people waiting around him has suddenly dropped from the original forty or fifty people to only six people. Even Zhou Dehai has been a little half-hearted recently and has disappeared. Fortunately, Zhou Peisheng followed him unwaveringly. Of course, Guo Qinyun also knew that Zhou Peisheng had nowhere to go and could only follow him.
The new emperor and the empress and his concubines all have their own teams, and the people they bring are all old friends from the dormitory. The original people in the palace, as long as they are slightly proud, are almost excluded.
Of course, she was not the only one who received such treatment, Xu Junru, Su Lingyao and Mei Yuexi also received the same treatment.
The concubines without princes like Jia Yuanchun, Zheng Zhiying, Wu Guxia, and Zhou Biwu were even worse. Each of them only kept three people by his side, and even daily chores had to be done by personal maids.
For Guo Qinyun, he could accept a little bit of cold treatment and harassment, but that was not the case with his son.
I was used to spending a lot of money in Qingtan Academy. When I was with my classmates, I would hold poetry and drinking parties from time to time, which often cost hundreds of taels of silver. How could I get enough?
The expenses here are not small, and Guo Qinyun deeply understands the difficulty of transitioning from luxury to frugality.
And I had never thought of being reduced to this situation, so I didn't have much savings in the palace, and I would have to spend it all in a few moments.
If you want to ask your mother's family again, once or twice is enough. If it's more, I'm afraid my family will have to ask for it.
As for the son's affairs, it is not easy to tell his parents' parents in detail.
Now that the new emperor has made it clear that he wants to establish a crown prince, if you want to say that your son also wants to compete for that position, I am afraid that his father and brother may not be willing.
You may even persuade yourself not to think too much and cause trouble.
Feng Ziying was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the noble concubine would talk to him about such mundane things as money and silver.
You come to me for help, if you want to do this or that, shouldn't you just wave your hand and be rewarded with some gold, pearls, and jade ornaments, and tens of thousands of taels of silver, so that you can just do things without thinking about money?
Why is it that now it's the other way around, crying and complaining about the difficulties in front of me? Doesn't it mean that I still have to help your noble concubine get up?
So what is this? invest? Or whoring?
For a moment, Feng Ziying was a little unsure. Instead of just casually complaining about suffering, she would be regarded as humiliated by others.
"Concubine Tsuen,..."
"Don't call me Concubine Quan, I'm not that anymore." A look of helplessness and sadness appeared on Guo Qinyun's face, "It's just the two of us, just call me by my maiden name. Anyway, between us, Peisheng and the others As you all know, people are not watching you like in the past. Now if you just want to ask people to watch you, they may not be interested anymore."
"Qinjun?" Feng Ziying muttered, feeling that it was a bit strange to actually call a noble concubine by her maiden name, and to do it so affectionately, it felt a little strange.
"You also know my maiden name?" Guo Qinyun was not surprised.
With Feng Ziying's current power and connections, Long Jinwei also had close contacts with him. Zhou Peisheng even took the initiative to get closer to him. What secrets did he not know?
"Yeah, I know." Feng Ziying rubbed her hands on Guo Qinjun's towering palace-style bun. The black hair was thick and thick, and the curled bun was heavy and textured. "Are you in trouble now? Even daily expenses are guaranteed. No more?
Feng Ziying wasn't too polite, but there was really no need to be polite. They were all sleeping on the same bed, so what else was there to be polite about?
Guo Qinyun's discomfort and embarrassment disappeared in just an instant. What if she didn't admit it?
Besides, this is all frank, the couple has already done all the things that make love to each other, so what is there to be embarrassed about?
"Well, you also know that I am not a scheming person. I never thought that I would reach this point. Now I realize that once I lose it, everything becomes reality. Even if I have to buy some rouge and gouache outside the palace, If you want something better, you have to pay for it yourself. Has this ever happened before?"
Guo Qinjun couldn't help but gnashed her teeth, "The boy came back and said that the academy was going to hold a party of the same year as Tonghui Academy. He didn't quite understand the change in the situation, so he took the initiative to agree to sponsor five hundred taels of silver. In the past, there was no need to say anything, but now , but where did it come from? Otherwise, I have to pawn my own jewelry..." Feng Ziying couldn't bear it anymore, "Qinjun, after all, you have been in the palace for so many years, it turns out that every year the emperor The rewards and routines add up to tens of thousands of taels a year. Why don't you save a little? Now you can't even get out a few hundred taels of silver? There are still many days to come, how do you plan to live?" Feng Ziying said this When I asked, Guo Qinyun almost choked up.
This was so embarrassing that even Feng Ziying couldn't believe it, but she had spent so much money over the years, and she couldn't bear to face this situation all of a sudden.
Seeing that Guo Qinjun's eyes were red and misty, Feng Ziying knew that her question had broken the opponent's defense, and she quickly waved her hand.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, how much money do you need now? You know my situation, the money and property are all managed by the family, I'm afraid it will be too much,..."
Guo Qinyun felt more and more humiliated, and tears finally burst out of her eyes uncontrollably.
She felt like she was being kept by the other party, and now she actually wanted to ask for money from the other party. But if she didn't do this, how would she live in the future?
Ignoring how much money was needed, Feng Ziying also felt a headache. This kind of thing actually ended up talking about money. Thinking about it, it felt ridiculous.
Guo Qinjun didn't want to talk more about this matter, so she turned to the matter of Prince Gong Zhang Ji.
"He is currently studying at Qingtan Academy. Originally, he wanted to take the Enke course, but I considered his age and the fact that it was Enke this time, so I still did not let him participate. I wanted to wait until the main course in Wantong's third year. Take the exam, he was just the right age at that time,...
Feng Ziying half-smiled, "Qinjun, do you really plan to make Prince Gong famous in the imperial examination?"
There was a hint of resentment in Guo Qinjun's eyes, "Ziying, you put it lightly, how can a mother not worry about his future? Although I also hope that he can succeed to the throne, you all know that the risks here are extremely high. , the possibility is extremely small. If things really go wrong, if he can get a Jinshi, at least he can have an additional identity to protect his safety. If it really doesn't work in the future, it is better to be a free official over there. Acting like an idle clan member with trepidation..."
Feng Ziying didn't expect that Guo Qinyun could think of this, and she immediately looked up to Guo Qinyun.
He thought that this person was just focused on promoting Prince Gong to the throne regardless of his concerns. Now it seems that he was not prepared for the fallback.
As if sensing the meaning of Feng Ziying's glance, Guo Qinjun sighed quietly.
"Why don't I know the risk of fighting for that position? But if the heir of Emperor Wan Tong succeeds to the throne in the future, then that's fine, but I am afraid that one of the kings of longevity, blessing, king of ceremony, or king of Lu will succeed, and I I have not made any efforts for Gao'er, Gao'er will blame me for the rest of my life, and I don't want to carry this blame like that, so I would rather..."
Poor parents in the world.
Feng Ziying was very disapproving of Guo Qinjun before. The other party even sacrificed their appearance to seduce and win over her. Although she took advantage and was happy, she was still a little disdainful deep down.
But now after such a taste, you have to lament the greatness of being a mother. She would rather sacrifice her own reputation and give an explanation to her son to avoid complaints in the future.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter. Since you are going to do it, what else can you say?" Feng Ziying lowered his hand from the woman's thick bun and caressed the other woman's pink neck, "I passed the exam. Jinshi does have a layer of protection. At least he is considered to be a scholar, and scholars will have a greater sense of identity. Of course, his status is slightly special, but if he really has no hope of becoming a high-ranking official in the future, he can go to the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Academy, or the Hanlin Academy. The Imperial College is also a good place to go and find a noble position."
Guo Qinjun nodded repeatedly, "I think Mei Yuexi is thinking the same way. Zhang So has passed the Enke Qiuwei competition, and she is very proud of it. I guess Zhang So will also participate in the Chunwei competition. Let's see if he can." Passed the imperial examination.
"The Jinshi exam is not that easy. It's pretty good to pass the exam. I didn't expect King Lu to be really talented. It seems that he didn't study in vain at Qingtan Academy." Feng Ziying didn't expect that King Lu would actually compete in the Qiuwei Competition. Well, he didn't care about this after he came back. It seems that Guo Qinjun was inspired by Mei Yue Xi, "Are you also inspired by Mei Yue Xi?" "Well, that's right, Mei Yue Xi. Women are quite smart, and King Lu is very famous now..." Guo Qinjun hesitated, "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
"There are pros and cons, it all depends on the emperor's thoughts." Feng Ziying smiled softly and got on her horse, "It's actually not bad for Prince Gong to hide behind Prince Lu's back."
"I hate it, I still want to talk to you about business, ugh..."
