Chapter 2474 Gui Zi Juan is not willing to give up, and will never give up.

Noticing the surprise on Feng Ziying's face, 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 you can't stand it on the bed, you won't beg for mercy easily.

 In other respects, she felt that as a noble concubine and the emperor's woman, she 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 is even more serious is that they were kicked out and stayed away from the center of the palace.

Everyone's eyes are no longer focused on them, but 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. Even Zhou Dehai has been a little half-hearted recently and has disappeared.

Fortunately, Zhou Peisheng is still following him. Of course, Guo Qinjun also knows that Zhou Peisheng has nowhere to go and can 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 residence. Those who were originally in the palace, as long as they are slightly proud, are almost excluded.

Of course, I am not the only one who has received such treatment, Xu Junru, Su Lingyao and Mei Yuexi are also the same.

The concubines like Jia Yuanchun, Zheng Zhiying, Wu Guxia, and Zhou Biwu who did not have princes 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, she can accept a little bit of cold treatment and harassment, but she cannot accept it from her son.

In Qingtan Academy, I'm used to spending a lot of money. When I'm with my classmates, I have to hold poetry and drinking parties from time to time. I often spend hundreds of taels of silver. How can I get enough?

His own expenses are not small, and Guo Qinyun deeply understands the difficulty of transitioning from luxury to frugality.

 But I had never thought of falling to this level, so I didn’t have much savings in the palace, and I would have to spend it all in just a few moments.

 If you want to reach out to your mother's family again and ask for it, once or twice is enough. If it is more, I'm afraid my family will have to ask for it.

 As for the matter of the son, it is not easy to talk about it in depth, even to the father and brother of the mother's family.

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.

You came to me for help, and if you wanted to do this or that, shouldn't you just wave your hand and reward me with some gold, pearls, and jade ornaments, and tens of thousands of taels of silver, and let yourself just do the work without thinking about money and money?

Why is it the other way around now, complaining about poverty and difficulties in front of yourself? Does it mean that you still have to support the upbringing of a noble concubine?

Then what is this?

invest?

 Or prostitution?

For a moment, Feng Ziying was still a little unsure. Instead of just complaining casually about suffering, she would be considered a humiliation by others.

 “Quan Fei,…”

"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, it’s not like before when people are still watching you. 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 first name, and to do it so affectionately, it felt a bit strange.

“You also know my maiden name?” Guo Qinyun was not surprised.

With Feng Ziying's current power and connections, Long Jinwei also has close contacts with him. Zhou Peisheng even takes the initiative to get closer to him. What's the secret that he doesn't 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 is not too polite, but there is really no need to be polite. They are all sleeping on the same bed, so what else is there to be polite about?

Guo Qinjun's discomfort and embarrassment disappeared in just an instant. What if he doesn't admit it?

 Besides, this is all frank, the couple has done everything they need to do, so what’s the point of being embarrassed about?

"Well, you also know that I don't have any scheming intentions. 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, "Li'er came back and said that the academy would hold a party in 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 it, but now , but where did it come from? Otherwise, I have to **** my own jewelry..."

Feng Ziying couldn't help it anymore, "Qinyun, after all, you have been in the palace for so many years. It turns out that the emperor's rewards and routines add up to tens of thousands of taels a year. Why haven't you saved any? Now you can't even save anything." You can’t even get out a few hundred taels of silver? There’s still a lot of time left in the future, how do you plan to live?”

Feng Ziying's question almost made Guo Qinyun choke up.

This is so embarrassing that even Feng Ziying finds it unbelievable, but he has spent so many years in this way, and suddenly faced with this situation, he cannot bear it.

Seeing that Guo Qinjun's eyes were red and misty, Feng Ziying knew that her question had broken the opponent's defense, so she quickly waved her hand.

“Okay, okay, don’t worry, how much money do you need now? You know my situation. Money and property are all managed by the family. If you have too much money, 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 taken care of 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?

Feng Ziying also felt a headache after ignoring how much money was needed. This kind of thing actually ended up talking about money. Thinking about it, she felt ridiculous.

Guo Qinjun was unwilling to say more about this matter, and turned to the matter of Prince Gong Zhang Ji.

"He is currently studying at Qingtan Academy. Originally, he wanted to take the Enke course as a reference, but I considered his age and the fact that it was Enke this time, so I still didn't let him participate. I wanted to wait until Wantong's third year of study for the main course. Take the exam, he was just the right age at that time,..."

Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly, "Qinjun, are you really planning to let Prince Gong succeed in his 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. Being an idle clan member with caution..."

Feng Ziying didn’t expect Guo Qinyun to think of this, and she immediately looked up to Guo Qinyun.

 He thought that this person was bent on promoting Prince Gong to the throne regardless of the situation. 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 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..."



 Feng Ziying was very disapproving of Guo Qinyun before.

The other party even sacrificed their appearance to seduce and win over me. Although I took advantage and was happy, I still felt a little disdainful deep down.

But now that you have such a taste, you have to lament the greatness of being a mother. You would rather sacrifice your own reputation and give an explanation to your 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, "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 seek a noble position."

Guo Qinjun nodded repeatedly, "I think Mei Yuexi is thinking the same thing. 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 examination. 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 actually competed in the Qiuwei Competition. Well, he didn't care about this after he came back. It seems that Guo Qinyun should have been inspired by Mei Yuexi, "Are you also inspired by Mei Yuexi?"

“Well, I guess, this woman Mei Yuexi is 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 both pros and cons, it 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.”

 “It’s annoying, I still want to talk to you about business, ugh…”
