Guhua palace is no different from Lenggong. It is low-lying, remote and desolate, overgrown with weeds. The dilapidated buildings add a bit of gloom and coldness to it. Since they lost their power, which of the eunuchs around them is not the grass on both sides. Who would like to accompany their master to Lenggong? Except for one or two of them, other servants have abandoned their master .
In the past, how flattering they were to the queen and princess. Now, how embarrassing they are to fall into the well and ridicule behind them, that is, the spittle star who talks behind them has to poke a hole in Gu Qingguo's back.
The reason why the eldest princess and the queen have fallen to this place has not been announced to the outside, but in such a big Imperial City, what kind of news will be spread in a short time. The more you don't tell the real reason, all kinds of conjectures will emerge in an endless stream. The true and false mixed together, which also constitutes the conversation of eunuchs in the palace.
"Well, do you know why the former queen and the first princess went to the cold palace?"
"Who knows? I've heard that it's because the Taifu family of the empress is greedy for ink."
"How can I hear that it's the Queen's own problem? The queen must be jealous and angry with the emperor, and the eldest princess is also angry with the emperor."
"I heard that the demotion of the queen and the eldest princess may have something to do with the younger princess."
"It's like the queen. She's jealous. She once hurt the unborn Prince and daughter. Now she's found out."
"How can I still hear the inside story that it is the empress who has brought her concubine to the palace because she is not a woman?"
“……”
Gu Qingguo felt that his lungs were about to explode. He was about to rush out to curse people with anger, but he was stopped by the queen. "Qingguo, the tiger is down and the sun is down and the dog is bullying him, and Longyou shoal is prawn playing. You can see that we are not too late now."
Gu Qingguo stopped and put her eyes on her sleeve. The clothes she used to wear were definitely not what they are now. The uniform Blue Palace dress had no decoration. In the past, she was a gorgeous princess dress, embroidered with Phoenix, peacock, peony and peony with gold and silver thread. Now, she is so simple. And the empress of her noble mother of a country is the same blue palace dress as her.
Yes, now they are in the middle of nowhere. Their luxurious clothes have been confiscated, and their precious jewelry has been taken away by those who don't have eyes. Even some bracelets and hairpin rings on their bodies have been used to exchange for firewood, rice, oil and salt
When people are in trouble, everyone wants to step on it. For example, her jade hairpin, which is worth thousands of gold, only got a bag of coarse rice in exchange. Those people really deceive people too much!
"You should be patient. All humiliations are temporary. How much suffering you have suffered at this time, and you should pay back more in the future."
The empress took Gu Qingguo by the hand. Although she was in plain clothes, the momentum she had cultivated for many years did not seem to have changed much. It was just that the underground palace was calmer and more unfathomable, and people always wanted to grow up.
"Mother, I know." Gu Qingguo's eyes flashed a dim light. His hands were tightly clasped together. He didn't care if he caught the blood. You wait. One day, the princess will let you all die without a burial place. The people who said about the princess and bullied the princess will not let go.
Gu Qingguo calmed down his anger and followed the queen calmly in the slightly desolate yard, facing a group of beautiful ladies in palace clothes.
Among them, the leader, Zhucui, was still on her a few days ago, but now she only has such a Blue Palace dress.
"Elder sister, I've come to see you."
Gu Qingcheng came over with a smile, and every move was standard etiquette. With the style of the whole body decorated by the beautiful dress and hairpin ring, he looked very high, like a proud peacock.
At the moment, seeing Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingguo thinks of Gu Qingcheng's ruthlessness and coldness. If she had gone to ask for her help, she would not have wanted to ask for help from Lin pin, who had always had a bad relationship with her mother.
All this is because of Gu Qingcheng, who just stood by and kept it in mind. In the past few days, she suffered so much coldness, food and clothing. On the contrary, her mind has penetrated a lot, and many things have been figured out, especially for her so-called second imperial sister, she has seen her true face clearly.
In the past, she flattered her because of her identity, but now she is down and out. She has to stand idly by and show off her power. Isn't that gorgeous dress the biggest irony to her.
When she dealt with the little princess, didn't Gu Qingcheng raise her hands and feet in favor? Did not expect that the effort is her, the last cheap is her dear second sister! When things are perfect, I get rid of the little princess. When things are exposed, I am out of the game. It seems that only she is the last winner! If you don't do anything, you can take advantage of it.
Thinking about this, Gu Qingguo couldn't swallow it, and even the superficial politeness was thrown aside. "The second princess is now noble. What do you want to do in my humble home? Our place is too small to accommodate you, the Great Buddha.""Sister Huang," Gu Qingcheng came forward with big eyes open and came over carefully. She tried to pull Gu Qingguo away, so she covered her face and sobbed in a low voice. "Sister Huang, I came to see you, but why did you ignore me? Qingcheng is sad. We used to be inseparable and have such good feelings. Now, how did you become like this? "
Gu Qingguo saw through Gu Qingcheng, and now he was not moved at all. He said coldly, "second princess, the land here is small. You'd better go."
"Sister Huang," Gu Qingcheng was very sad. She raised her face and said pitifully, "last time it was not my mother and I who refused to help, but we couldn't help at all. Since we couldn't help each other..."
"Why take on your own glory, right?" Without waiting for Gu Qingcheng to finish, Gu Qingguo said, this said, Gu Qingcheng immediately covered the cherry mouth, Gu Qingguo continued to cold voice, "you go, I don't welcome you here!"
"Hee hee," Gu Qingcheng's pitiful expression disappeared. His eyebrows stretched out. He was sad, but he was very happy. "Sister Huang, that's what you said. Oh, no, you can't be my sister now. Gu Qingguo, do you think I'd like to come to your place? Hum. In the future, I am the biggest among the princesses. If it is not for the sake of my reputation, I would like to step into your broken yard and have a dream for thousands of years! "
"You go, no, get out of here!" Gu Qingguo was so angry that he almost had to drive people out in person.
It's a pity that she can't get close to Gu Qingcheng at all. As soon as she goes out, she is blocked by the palace maids around Gu Qingcheng. Anything she wants to do can only disappear in the same place. What she wants to do to Gu Qingguo is just a dream.
"Oh," Gu Qingcheng cried softly, covering her nose. It seems that Gu Qingguo has a bad smell. "I didn't expect that sister Huang didn't welcome the princess. In that case, the princess had better go."
"Come on, go back to your bedroom!" At the first order, someone came behind her. Some were dragging her hand, some were holding her skirt, and her neck was high. Just like the call of the saint fighter to win, she swaggered and disappeared in Gu Qingguo's sight step by step.
But it's just a pity. Even this regret is due to Lin pin, now a virtuous concubine. For the third prince himself, father and son, who have no emotional foundation, still can't produce too much fluctuation.
It's not unreasonable to say that the most unfortunate thing is the imperial family.
However, it can be seen that the third prince and his majesty did not care very much. One continued to live a comfortable life outside the palace, and occasionally entered the palace. The other paid more attention and gave some rewards as compensation. To be honest, that's all.
Then the temporary peace of the back palace does not represent the peace of the former dynasty, nor does the peace of the former dynasty represent the peace of the frontier.
Because of the affairs of the Taifu family of the Queen's mother's family, the emperor dealt with a large number of officials who were greedy of ink. It was time for people to panic in the court. But at this time, the news of the large-scale invasion of Xishu kingdom came from the border.
"This Xishu country has just come to seek peace. It's going to fight again." When his majesty heard about it, he was so angry that he almost couldn't get up from the Dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, isn't the second prince of Xishu still in the hands of platinum? If he really doesn't care about the two princes, he can let them come When a minister of the court stood up and held someone else's handle, he felt full of confidence. They had already known that the assassin of the palace was the second prince of Xishu and had been imprisoned by the emperor.
"Well, let me think about it first." The emperor coughed gently, and his face was calm. Maybe only when he was close to him could he find the unnatural expression on his face.
