After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 179 Tough

When Emperor Hui'an heard that Princess Pingxi and Gu Jin were waiting for him, he discussed the important matters and left the remaining trivial matters to a few civil officials.

When the ministers left the palace, they couldn't help but talk about the current popular figure Xie Ran.

"I thought that after the Yongchang Marquis handed over the military power, the Yongchang Marquisate would gradually decline, but who would have thought that Xie Ran's return would make the momentum even stronger."

Someone who understood shook his head and smiled, "Even if Marquis Qingyun rises rapidly and is crowned a king or a duke in the future, it has nothing to do with the Marquis Yongchang Mansion."

"How can you say that? Although Your Majesty has granted a mansion to Marquis Qingyun, we are still a family after all, so we can divide the mansion but not the family."

"Then just wait and see how long the Yongchang Marquisate can remain prosperous."

This person spoke with great confidence, and everyone looked at each other with different thoughts in their minds.

This person glanced at everyone's expressions coldly, and the corners of his lips curved up. These words would soon reach the ears of those who were interested.

Sure enough, these words soon reached Concubine Wan's ears, making her even more upset.

She can no longer rely on the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion now, so she has to find a way to win over Xie Ran.

"Your Majesty, Gu Jin has entered the palace." Xia Zhi walked over quickly and reported.

"What?" Concubine Wan frowned and asked in disbelief, "How did she get in?

Who else can she send a visiting card to besides me?"

Xia Zhi replied: "I heard that she entered the palace with Princess Pingxi, and they are waiting for Your Majesty in the Zhangqian Palace!"

"This Gu Jin!" Concubine Wan slammed the table in anger.

She summoned Amber and Liuli into the palace with the intention of teaching them a lesson. However, when she learned that Amber was not focusing on Xie Ran but had gone to Gu Jin's school to become a female teacher, she decided to take control of Gu Jin so that she would know that even if she rose to prominence, she would not be able to surpass her.

She was just waiting for Gu Jin to come and beg her, and then she would give him some instructions and return him to Gu Jin. Unexpectedly, she went directly to Zhangqian Palace.

Concubine Wan knew very well that Gu Jin was a man of few depth, so she immediately got up and rushed to Zhangqian Palace.

As soon as Concubine Wan arrived at the palace gate, she heard Emperor Hui'an's hearty laughter, "Should I say that you are lucky, or should I say that you have a long-term vision?

You actually picked up a new number one scholar, and he is willing to be a teacher in your school."

what!

Concubine Wan was shocked.

She only knew that the new number one scholar was of commoner origin and that many mansions sent people to make friends with him, but she didn't know that he was actually related to Gu Jin.

For a moment, Concubine Wan had an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if all the advantages in the world had been taken by Gu Jin, and this person was out of her control.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am just a little girl and don't have much vision. I just have a kind heart." Gu Jin shamelessly praised herself, not mentioning that she picked up Shen Wuji because she saw his high cost-effectiveness.

Even Emperor Hui'an was amazed at Gu Jin's ability to make money. Previously, Gu Jin had made a net profit of more than 100,000 yuan from the leak of imperial examination questions. This time, the coal she stockpiled happened to coincide with the heavy snow that blocked the roads, so she made another huge profit.

It is said that a woman's wealth and glory depend on her father at home and on her husband after marriage, but he felt that with Gu Jin's personality, she would not have a bad life no matter where she was thrown.

Seeing Concubine Wan coming in, Emperor Hui'an said with a smile, "It just so happens that I have just asked the imperial kitchen to bring the meal over. Concubine Wan, please sit down and have some with us."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Emperor Hui'an was in a good mood, Concubine Wan felt relieved, thinking that Gu Jin had not had time to complain yet.

Seeing Concubine Wan sitting down, Gu Jin slowly curled his lips and said, "Madam Concubine Wan, yesterday you sent someone to call my two maids into the palace to teach them. I wonder if I have taken them back today?"

Concubine Wan gritted her teeth secretly, knowing that Gu Jin was deliberately trying to manipulate her in front of Emperor Hui'an, but she was not panicked. She smiled and explained, "These two maids were originally given to you by me, but I think they are too stupid to handle the important task. How about I give you two smarter ones?"

Amber Liuli's indenture contract was in her hands, so her actions were reasonable. Even if Gu Jin brought up His Majesty, he could not find any fault with her.

This time she must make Gu Jin admit his mistake!

Gu Jin raised her eyebrows. Was Concubine Wan going to confront her head-on?

Okay, okay, it’s not Concubine Wan’s fault that she asked to be beaten!
