The following year, the year name was changed to Jingzhi.

Gu Jinzhi was named queen.

Yanshan was made the crown prince, Yanying was named King Yong, and Yanshao was named King Chu.

King Yong and King Chu both granted gold books and gold treasures, with annual salaries of tens of stones. However, they no longer gave the guards. They could choose to stay in the capital or go to the fiefdom.

Tongtong was named Princess Jingle. According to the previous convention, the princess should be awarded a gold book with a annual salary of 2,000 stones. However, Zhu Zhongjun loved Tongtong. After named Princess Jingle, she had a annual salary of 9,000 stones, almost with her brothers.

Flush.

Gu Jinzhi's father, uncle, brothers and cousins ​​were all granted the title of Marquis.

Gu Jinzhi's mother Song Pan'er was also named the wife of Qin.

Zhu Zhongjun's reward to Gu Jinzhi's family was almost too much.

Many court officials suggested that he should not give such generous rewards to Gu’s family.

Zhu Zhongjun didn't listen.

Gu Jinzhi also advised him: "If Gu is arrogant in the future, it will be difficult for you to do it. I will be difficult for me, so why should I give it so much?"

"......I don't know how to compensate you for so much suffering." Zhu Zhongjun gently kissed her cheek and said, "As long as I can think of it, I can do it, I can do it.

I want to give it to you."

Gu Jinzhi felt soft in his heart.

She sighed helplessly.

Seeing his half-flowered hair, she gently brushed across his temples and hugged him. She whispered: "You are still by my side, and you are the best you have given me!"

Even so, Zhu Zhongjun still did his best to reward the Gu family.

Everyone in the Gu family went to the palace to thank him.

Of course, I was a little dissatisfied.

Gu Jinzhi's mother Song Paner was very dissatisfied with Zhu Zhongjun's reward of Gu Jinzhi's concubine's brother Gu Xiuzhi.

Song Pan'er also knew that if you complain, you would behave like a good person when you get a cheaper one, so she mentioned very obscurely: "Brother Xiu is too young. I am afraid that he will not know the importance of giving him this way, but he will let down His Majesty and

The love of the empress.”

Gu Jinzhi's tenth and eleventh brothers were also granted their own marquis and paid their salaries. Song Pan'er did not think that the younger brothers and eleventh brothers were young.

Since I wanted to give me a reward, I naturally didn’t give up the reason for my eighth brother Gu Xiuzhi.

Gu Jinzhi knew what his mother was thinking and said, "Mom, even my cousin has been granted the title of marquis, let alone brothers? Brother Xiu and Brother Xuan are all blood relatives and can help each other in the future. Don't worry

, If Brother Xiu was ungrateful and asked for the title of his biological mother Honglian, I would not agree."

Song Paner felt a little embarrassed that Xiao Jiujiu was told by her daughter.

She changed the subject and asked Gu Jinzhi's legs: "...... Are you more flexible now?" When talking about Gu Jinzhi's legs, Song Paner felt sour and couldn't help but cry, "You are so miserable."

My child... Mother holds you in her palm. She grows so big that she actually suffers these hardships."

Gu Jinzhi's leg is no longer good.

However, Zhu Zhongjun refused to give up and asked Lin Yi to treat Gu Jinzhi. These days, Gu Jinzhi has been acupuncture and taking medicine. She was helpless and sad.

"I'm a little more flexible..." Gu Jin's way.

This is the standard answer.

Only by answering this way can those who care about her feel better.

Actually, there is no improvement.

"That's good!" When Song Pan'er heard this, her face brightened and she breathed comfortably.

When talking about Gu Jinzhi's lameness, I naturally think of the hardship she endured before. Song Pan'er couldn't suppress her tears, "I pity you, how did you survive those four years..."

"You can see the moon bright when the clouds clear." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Mom, the most important thing is that I have survived it. We mother and daughter can still talk together! Don't be sad. The past is like the wind scatters, and they all pass by

Now.”

Song Pan'er wiped her tears, but she still felt a little sad.

After coming out of the palace, Song Pan'er went home directly.

Her sons were all named Marquis, and the emperor also gave them a house again.

The children all got married and moved out.

Only Gu Xuan's family followed Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen.

This time they returned to Beijing, Gu Xiuzhi begged Song Pan'er to bring Aunt Hong back. Song Pan'er disagreed at the time. At that time, he thought that Aunt Hong was Gu Xiuzhi's biological mother. He was not allowed to perform his filial piety, and would he give it to him in the future.

My sons left a bad impression, thinking that Song Paner, the mother, was too affectionate?

Considering her reputation, Song Paner agreed.

When she was young, she lived a very free life. When she was old, Song Paner was concerned about her identity everywhere.

When she returned home, Gu Xiuzhi also came to pay her respects.

Tomorrow is his eldest son for a year, and he invites Song Paner and Gu Yanzhen to come and preside over the presidency of the Zhou Li.

"... Please come over and have fun." Gu Xiu said.

"Okay..." Song Paner said lightly.

Gu Xiuzhi has been married for six years. He gave birth to three daughters and only gave birth to a son last year. It was a time to be happy, and Song Pan'er didn't want to disappoint him.

Gu Xiu's eldest son arrested Zhou, and Gu Jinzhi also sent someone to give gifts.

Song Pan'er has gone.

As the Empress's mother, the wife of Qin, naturally all her eyes were on Song Pan'er.

Everyone flatters Song Paner.

Aunt Hong didn't even have a chance to show up.

After the arrest of Zhou, the guests dispersed and Gu Xiuzhi had dinner with his own family. Aunt Hong said she was uncomfortable and did not come.

Gu Xiuzhi's daughter-in-law did not value the mother-in-law who was born into a concubine, but she only respected Aunt Hong on the surface. She still leaned towards Song Pan'er in her heart, saying that Song Pan'er was her mother-in-law.

I heard that Aunt Hong felt uncomfortable. Gu Xiuzhi's wife said, "I'm afraid I'm tired today, so let Aunt take a break."

Aunt Hong didn’t show up today, why would she be tired?

Gu Xiuzhi didn't say anything, but went to see Aunt Hong after dinner.

Aunt Hong's eyes were red.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiuzhi asked.

The tears that Aunt Hong wiped out suddenly surged up again: "I'm happy to see you so successful now."

Gu Xiuzhi still refused to call him Mother in private, and he always had an aunt, who called him Hong Lian.

But Hong Lian calls herself a mother.

"That is the grace of the Lord and the Queen." Gu Xiu's words.

"Oh..." Aunt Hong sighed and cried. "You are promising now, I don't know how happy Mom is! If it weren't for the Empress, how could you be like today? But even though you are promising, you should have a mother in your heart.

....”

"Auntie, why didn't I take you seriously?" Gu Xiuzhi said with a smile. He could guess what Auntie Hong was going to say next.

He didn't want Aunt Hong to really say it.

After all, Aunt Hong gave birth to him.

But before he could stop him, Aunt Hong had already said, "You are now a noble marquis. Your mother is so lowly, how can you behave? You should also beg the Queen..."

Aunt Hong also wants an imperial edict.

Madam, she didn't dare to think about it.

But with Gu Xiuzhi's current status, it is more than enough to ask her to be named a gentleman.

"Auntie!" Gu Xiuzhi suddenly stood up and looked at Aunt Hong seriously, "Don't mention this! If you feel uncomfortable living in Beijing, why not go back to Yanling Mansion?"

Aunt Hong was stunned, her face changed drastically, and she cried at the desk.

"You are so unfilial!" Aunt Hong cried.

"Auntie, how do you tell me to be filial? What kind of temper do you know best about my mother? Why does the Queen value me so much? It's just because my ninth brother and I are good.

The ninth brother and the queen regarded me as brothers, but I knew my mother was taboo, but instead made my mother angry. If I really asked for an imperial edict for my aunt, where would I place my mother? Where would I place my ninth brother and the queen?

Do you have to be kind or raise your kindness? Do you want my aunt to be unkind and unfilial? Instead, I blame me for being unfilial?" Gu Xiu paused and said fiercely.

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Leaving Aunt Hong alone, she was stunned and forgot to cry...
