Chapter 788: Three Days’ Rest (Second Update)
Su Rong thought that indeed, after she returned to the royal capital, she felt sorry for these courtiers. Every day there was nothing but business. Even Mrs. Ye Xiang, who felt sorry for her son, used her birthday to let Ye Guixue take a day off, let alone others. He didn't dare to drop the chain under her nose, lest she think he was useless and kick him out of the court.
Indeed, she herself was exhausted, and others were almost driven crazy by her torture.
She thought about how she was not a person who liked to work before. Although she could not sit idle every day, most of the time she would just hang out and play outside. After playing for a day, she would go home when she was tired. But it was different from now. When I came to the royal capital, I didn't even bother to stroll around the streets and alleys of the royal capital. I finally took a trip out of the palace, but it was only the Cui family, Xie's mansion, and Ye Xiang's mansion.
“Come and talk about her, look at her, she’s so obsessed with government affairs.” Seeing that Su Rong didn’t speak, the King of Nan Chu thought that Su Rong still hadn’t moved him after talking for a long time, so he turned to Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu smiled and said to Su Rong: "My father-in-law is right, I'm tired too."
He took advantage of the day when his grandfather came to Beijing, ran to Cui's house and stayed there to sleep for half a day. He and Cui Xingzhi slept more deeply than the other, and he was even more exhausted than his grandfather, an old man who had been traveling to Nanchu for a month.
Was he such a person before? Not really, Taifu Qin had to hold him and threaten him to endorse the letter.
Su Rong nodded, "Okay, I'll take a three-day break."
The King of Nan Chu glared, "You bitch, I spent a long time talking, but Zhou Gu only said one word and you agreed. You are going too far."
Su Rong immediately said: "No, you have convinced me. I am just thinking about the feasibility, not because of his words."
The King of Nan Chu snorted coldly, so as not to think that what she said was true, he turned to Zhou Gu and said, "Fortunately, you have a virtuous son-in-law, so you can take care of her."
Zhou Gu Xiao said, "If my father-in-law hadn't spent a long time talking, I wouldn't be able to say a word about her stubborn temper."
Weng and son-in-law talk well, get along well, and do everything well. They protect each other and form a united front.
Su Rong looked at the two of them and was excluded more than once, wondering which of them, Zhou Gu or herself, was the biological child.
Therefore, I rested for three days.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the government and the public were shocked. Unexpectedly, the princess who had worked so hard for Sanniang would retire from court. The courtiers were very happy, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that they would not be able to survive such a life without breathing again. Rest, fall down if you can't stand it.
There is a palace banquet in the palace, and officials of sixth rank and above can enter the palace with their families to attend the birthday banquet of the princess.
Cui Yanjin happened to be in the sixth grade. He said to Cui Gong: "My cousin is so kind to make such a decree. Otherwise, I would have to rely on my close relationship with my cousin to attend my cousin's palace banquet."
Mr. Cui laughed at him, "Have you prepared a birthday gift for the concubine? Prepare one at home, and you and Xingzhi must prepare one separately."
Cui Yanjin slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, no."
He is busy every day. Apart from working in the Ministry of Works and going home to study, he doesn't know the birthday of his cousin-in-law at all.
Although Prime Minister Ye had revealed to the officials a month ago that it would be the princess’s birthday in one month, many people secretly made a note of it and were waiting to send birthday gifts on the day of the princess’s birthday, but Cui Yanjin was not included in this. People who join the Ministry of Industry and study.
He quickly asked Cui Gong for help, "Uncle, what gift should I give?"
Mr. Cui shook his head, "What gift you give depends on yourself."
"There is still time. Officials and their families will enter the palace one after another in the afternoon tomorrow. Although it is late today, there is still half a day tomorrow. You have time to think about gifts." Cui Gongdao.
Cui Yanjin nodded, "Then I have to think about it." He liked his cousin very much, much more than his cousin. He felt that he had seen a lot of problems with his cousin with his own eyes.
He said seriously to Cui Gong: "Uncle, if you find a chance, you must talk to your cousin. He is very proud of his cousin. Just because his cousin likes him, he loses his temper and makes his temper become violent." Even though his cousin is a concubine, she is a daughter's family after all. Not only did he refuse to coax him, but he also allowed his cousin to coax him. As a grown man, he doesn't have the broad-mindedness of a man at all..."
Cui Gong: “…”
He was surprised, "Isn't this serious?"
Even if his grandson does have a bad temper, he should not be such a pampered and arrogant person with a bad temper as his grandnephew said.
“Very good.”
Cui Yanjin told Mr. Cui a few things he had witnessed with his own eyes. After speaking, he promised: "I didn't add any exaggeration at all. They are all facts. I saw them with my own eyes. I persuaded my cousin several times. He didn't listen and even looked like he was going to beat me. Fortunately, my cousin-in-law protected me and I didn't get beaten by him."
Mr. Cui stroked his beard and said, "If that's the case, then he is too shameful."
He nodded solemnly, "Okay, if I find an opportunity another day, I'll talk to him in private."
Cui Yanjin saw that Cui Gong had listened and turned around to think about the gift.
After he left, Cui Gong thought that he didn't get along much with his grandson. When he was a child, his daughter would bring him to Cui's house for ten days and a half every two years. In front of him, he would mostly complain about Qin Taifu being too strict. Yan Yunyun, and then even playing with his cousins, I didn't see him having a bad temper. Of course, it was limited to don't mess with him.
The juniors of the Cui family will naturally not mess with him. He is the youngest son of the Protector's Palace, and he also studies in the East Palace. All the younger members of the Cui family gathered around him, and since he had a pleasant temperament, he didn't cause any trouble with anyone, and he didn't cause any trouble to look good on.
In short, he does not have it in his memory.
But what Cui Yanjin said was serious, factual, and well-founded, so he couldn't help but ignore it.
So, he thought about it for a long time and found Xie Yuan. He was now very familiar with Xie Yuan. The two of them stayed together almost all day long because of the scientific examination. What started as politeness turned into speculation. They have similar temperaments and are inseparable, so some things are easy to say.
He asked Xie Yuan, "Does Zhou Gu have a very bad temper? He often loses his temper with the princess? Does he lose his temper and make himself look bad?"
Xie Yuan was stunned, "No."
Cui Gong immediately said: "Don't hide it for him. If it is true, you must tell me the truth."
Xie Yuan was confused, "Mr. Cui, who did you listen to?"
Mr. Cui was also puzzled, "Looking at your expression, is it really true? Or do you not know?"
Xie Yuan shook his head.
Cui Gong sat down and was also puzzled. He asked him about several things Cui Yanjin said about Zhou Gu being angry, losing his temper, and having a bad face towards Su Rong, and asked him if this was the case.
Xie Yuan immediately laughed when he heard this, "That's what happened, but Cui Gong, you only know the result, not the cause."
When Cui Gong heard this, he quickly said, "I would like to hear the details."
