Gu Jiao basically brushes her face when she enters Renshou palace. All the experts and people in Renshou palace know her. They know that she is empress dowager Zhuang, and no one dares to stop her.
Although the Empress Dowager Zhuang has ordered, no one will be seen this afternoon.
Concubine Zhuang is not so lucky.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of Renshou palace, she was stopped by the guard master.
Zhuang Guifei said: "you go to pass it on. There's something urgent for the palace to find the Empress Dowager."
"I'm sorry, the Empress Dowager has an order. I can't see anyone," he said
Zhuang Guifei frowned: "but this palace just saw someone go in."
"That's Miss Gu. She went to see the Empress Dowager." The master of the inner circle finally knew that she would not hate Gu Jiaola.
Hearing that it was treatment, concubine Zhuang was relieved. But the next moment, she asked anxiously, "does the Empress Dowager Fengti disobey?"
The master said: "the Empress Dowager was a little sick yesterday. She asked Miss Gu to come to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager. Today, Miss Gu is coming to see the Empress Dowager again."
Zhuang Guifei thought: "the palace is going to visit the Empress Dowager."
"This..."
Concubine Zhuang said, "I don't embarrass you either. The Empress Dowager won't let you disturb her. Miss Gu didn't say that. Go and invite Miss Gu."
"Yes." The great master looked at the little maid beside him.
The little maid of honor is understanding and catches up with Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao is talking to Duke Qin in the small garden in front of the hall.
The little maid said, "Miss Gu, Duke Qin, concubine Zhuang is here. She wants to see Miss Gu."
Duke Qin is a human spirit. Concubine Zhuang is not familiar with Gu Jiao. Most of the time I want to see her, I hope Gu Jiao can pass on to the Empress Dowager for her: "the Empress Dowager is reading the book. The slaves dare not disturb her."
"Well, I'll wait." Gu Jiao didn't do anything special.
"Good." Duke Qin smiles and takes Gu Jiao to empress dowager Zhuang's bedroom.
In fact, with the Empress Dowager's love for Miss Gu, she would not mind her interruptions at all, and even enjoy herself in the boring business day after day.
But Miss Gu has never been arrogant, she has her own duty and bottom line.
She is good to the empress dowager, not to get the Empress Dowager's favor, but sincerely hope that the Empress Dowager can live well.
Duke Qin went to the gate of Renshou palace to see Princess Zhuang. He said politely, "Miss Gu is waiting for the Empress Dowager."
Speaking of this, it's hard for Princess Zhuang to say anything more.
Fortunately, today's discount is not much, Empress Dowager Zhuang soon left the study.
Qin Gonggong reported: "empress dowager, Miss Gu and your concubine are coming."
Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "let her in."
This is about Princess Zhuang.
She knows the rules. Jiaojiao can come in, but others can't.
"Yes." Duke Qin led concubine Zhuang into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Gu Jiao just finished the reexamination for Empress Dowager Zhuang. Her throat recovered well, but it was hot. She seemed to have heatstroke. Gu Jiao took ginger slices and sesame oil to scrape her arm.
Concubine Zhuang saluted respectfully: "Empress Dowager."
"Come on, what's the matter?" Empress Dowager Zhuang asked faintly, after all, she hurt her throat, but she still had some pain when she used it.
Duke Qin had already retired with the palace people, and there were only three of them left in the big hall.
Concubine Zhuang looked at Gu Jiao, who was scraping for Empress Dowager Zhuang. She realized that empress dowager Zhuang didn't avoid Gu Jiao. She dropped her eyes and said in a soft voice: "empress dowager, do you really care about the marriage of henger? How can heng'er marry... "
She looked at Gu Jiao again, considered the wording, omitted the unfriendly modifier, and said directly, "Gu Jinyu? She's just the adopted daughter of the Marquis's residence in Ding'an. Her status is humble, and her virtue is still at stake. If she marries her, she's afraid that she'll implicate heng'er and become a laughing stock of the capital. "
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at her faintly, as if signaling her to go on.
Concubine Zhuang's eyes swept back and forth from Gu Jiao and said, "besides, Gu Jinyu took the credit of Gu girl at the beginning. It's unfair to Gu girl to praise her like this."
Empress Dowager Zhuang said in a deep voice, "don't take others as rafts."
Concubine Zhuang wanted to say something but stopped: "yes."
Gu Jiao continues to Guasha, and has no intention of participating in the conversation.
As for Empress Dowager Zhuang, she didn't respond much to her complaint.
Concubine Zhuang couldn't help being anxious.
This is not the same as what she imagined. The Empress Dowager has a heart of stone, but she loves Zhuang Yuheng. She didn't agree to send Zhuang Yuheng to Chen state as a hostage.
How can Zhuang Yuheng be so trapped by her majesty now, but she is not moved at all?
Zhuang Guifei then said: "empress dowager, heng'er's wife must be right and help him, but what does Gu Jinyu have? She is not even the flesh and blood of marquis Ding'an! Is it difficult for the Marquis of Ding'an to face her in the future? Besides, I suspect that your majesty is trying to put a fine work in the dealer! "
Ding'an Marquis's house is his Majesty's confidant. His majesty married Gu Jinyu to the banker. First, it can break the plan of the banker's strong marriage with other Zanying aristocratic families. Second, it can monitor the every move of Princess an and the banker.
Princess Zhuang felt that his majesty had planned this way.
In fact, the emperor did not plan to do so, but just as the emperor did not trust empress dowager Zhuang, the concubine Zhuang did not trust the emperor's intentions.
The banker can't go wrong, and can't lose a good chance to get married with a powerful family.
The more powerful the prince of an county is, the more help her son ningwang has.
"Aunt..." seeing that the truth was not easy to use, Princess Zhuang played the family card.
Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes.
Zhuang Guifei worried, she simply kicked the ball to Gu Jiao: "Gu girl, what do you think?"
She knew that Gu Jiao and Gu Jinyu had a bad relationship. She believed that Gu Jiao would not speak for Gu Jinyu, nor would she care about the struggle between the dealer and the Marquis of Ding'an.
Gu Jiao is a member of Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Gu Jiao went on scraping for her aunt and said, "this is the marriage of the king of an County. Shouldn't it be up to him to make his own decision? After your Majesty's marriage, did you ask him whether he would accept it? Does the lady represent his own will? "
Concubine Zhuang was asked.
Princess Zhuang returned without success.
Gu Jiao finished scraping the Empress Dowager Zhuang and went to straighten out her own black powder.
The site of Bishui hutong is limited, so she dare not let go of it too much for fear of blowing up the house.
There's plenty of space in Renshou palace. It's OK to blow it up.
Duke Qin came into the house to wait on empress dowager Zhuang. Empress Zhuang looked much better and her chest was not stuffy.
Duke Qin presented the newly cut melons and fruits and said, "the Empress Dowager really doesn't care about the marriage of the princess an?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang sneered: "the emperor cut first and then played. He has made a good army of AI family. How can AI family manage it? Is Jiangshan really Zhuang? All these years, the AI family's hands have been stained with blood, and all of them think that the power of the AI family is easy to come by. Who can see that the AI family is treading on thin ice? "
Duke Qin thought it was.
Outsiders only see the Empress Dowager calling the wind and the rain, but they don't see the blood dripping behind her.
Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "if Zhuang Yuheng wants to get out of marriage, he will come to beg for help himself. If he doesn't say it, then he has accepted it."
As soon as the words fell, a loud bang came from the small lawn of the side hall, and the whole Renshou palace seemed to shake for three times.
Their faces changed.
Duke Qin rushed out with small steps: "Miss Gu, are you ok?"
The lawn was blown out of shape.
Gu Jiao was not seen.
Duke Qin was frightened: "Miss Gu!"
"Me, here, here."
A weak voice came from the top of Qin Gonggong's head. When Qin Gonggong looked up, he saw that Gu Jiao had been blown up into a small black face and a chicken's nest head. Her small arms and legs were drooping, hanging on the high eaves like a small puppet without soul.
Gu Jiao opens her mouth and spits out a puff of black smoke.
Duke Qin
Gu Jiao was confused by the explosion. After being rescued by the experts in the Imperial Palace, she climbed up to her aunt's Phoenix bed and slept for an afternoon.
When she woke up, it was almost evening, and her aunt left her for dinner in Renshou palace.
She thought about it and said, "aunt, I'll make you some milk dates."
I'm sorry that I blew up my aunt's lawn today. I have to make up for it.
Milk jujube is made of goat cheese, sun dried red jujube and almond. Red jujube has its own sweet taste, without additional sugar. It is full of milk flavor, delicious and nutritious.
Red dates and almonds are not hard to find, but goat cheese has to go to the imperial dining room.
The cook of Renshou palace went to the imperial dining room to get goat cheese. Gu Jiao went to the imperial garden. She planned to pick some flowers and petals to dry and make tea.
Not long after she picked flowers in the imperial garden, several young maids came, and they also picked some flowers with baskets.
Gu Jiao put the full basket on the stone table and went to pick another basket full. The petals looked so much that once they were dried, there was almost nothing left.
Gu Jiao returned with a full load.
It happened that she also took the goat cheese. She handed the basket to Duke Qin and turned to the kitchen to make milk dates.
In Huaqing Palace, the maid in waiting knelt down.
The emperor and imperial concubine Jing sat on the chair. The emperor frowned at some of the young maids who had been selected to serve imperial concubine Jing. Longyan was not happy: "how do you serve imperial concubine? The jade pendant of the imperial concubine has been taken care of
"Don't blame them," sighed Princess Jing. "I lost them myself. When I just went to the imperial garden, I seemed to hear some noise, but I didn't care for it for a moment. I think it fell at that moment. "
"Maidservant, maidservant was found, but maidservant and..." a little maid said with fear.
"Don't be afraid. It's easy to say. I don't blame you."
The little maid boldly walked forward on her knees, kowtowed her head, and said, "I found a jade pendant in the imperial garden. I don't know it was lost by the empress. I think I'll give it to my aunt in charge for a while. I put it on the table. When I finish picking the flowers, I go to get it, and it's gone!"
The emperor said in a deep voice, "why do you put the jade pendant on the table at will?"
The little maid said in fear: "that jade pendant is broken. I don't think it's worth money. It's not a good thing..."
"Broken?" The emperor looked at Princess Jing in surprise.
Static too imperial concubine bitter astringent ground nods, don't speak.
"It was two years ago that the empress of the imperial concubine fell down and broke the jade pendant. One of her horns was smashed and could not be connected any more. But that's what Princess Ning'an left to her, so even if it's broken, she still wears it every day. "
Hear static too imperial concubine fall down, the emperor's heart prick general pain, only regret not early will static too imperial concubine back to palace to take care of.
"Let the mother suffer." He said with guilt.
Princess Jing said, "Your Majesty is serious. It's just a fall. When people are old, they are always inconvenient."
"I see Renshou palace..." the emperor wanted to say that Renshou Palace's legs and feet are really sharp, more sharp than before leprosy. He also felt that it was not appropriate to mention the Empress Dowager. He cleared his throat and looked at several maids kneeling on the ground. "Who else had been to the imperial garden besides you at that time?"
The little maids looked at each other.
Although one piece of jade was broken, most of the remaining pieces were still valuable. It was not an ordinary jade, but a thousand year old jade from the state of Yan. The little maid didn't know the goods, and it didn't mean that other people didn't know the goods.
"Say it The emperor said in a cold voice, "who took away the jade pendant of the imperial concubine?"
They all kowtowed, but the little maid who had just picked up the jade pendant said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't take it! How can I get a piece if I don't know the goods? "
She dare not talk about broken jade now.
The emperor asked deeply, "who else has been to the Royal Garden besides you?"
The little maid in waiting thought about it and said, "there's a girl... I don't know which palace she belongs to. She doesn't look like a princess or a maid in waiting. There's a red birthmark on her left face."
It's not a palace concubine or a palace maid. There is a red birthmark on her left face. Who is Gu Jiao?
It's embarrassing.
If it's an ordinary jade pendant, the emperor won't bother to investigate it. But it's Princess Ning'an's thought for Princess Jing. It's also the one the emperor once put on the top of his heart.
The Emperor didn't care less about her than about Princess Jing.
Duke Wei looked at the emperor with a complicated look.
Miss Gu can't rub the sand under her eyes. Your majesty really dares to send someone to ask if she has found a jade pendant. I'm afraid Miss Gu will never talk to your majesty again.
Well, I'm angry with your majesty now.
But the nature of things is different.
Miss Gu is not a person with unclean hands and feet, but she can't stand it. Your majesty won't let go of any clues to investigate. The difficulty lies in that. As long as you ask, there will be a gap between you.
What's more, Miss Gu is now in Renshou palace. What will the Empress Dowager think when she learns about this? If you don't scold your majesty, you won't give up.
The Empress Dowager can be wronged, but Miss Gu can't.
Duke Wei quietly pinched a cold sweat, finished, finished the calf.
The emperor calmed down, took Princess Jing's hand and said, "the little doctor can't pick up the jade pendant on the table. The Empress Dowager loves her. The whole treasure of Renshou palace can't wait to see her off. Although the thousand year old cold jade sent by Ning'an is precious, it can't get into her eyes. Ning'an also gave me a thousand year old cold jade. It's all the thoughts left by Ning'an. I'll ask someone to bring it back to my mother's concubine. "
"I'll take it now, slave!" Duke Wei did not wait for the emperor to give him an order. He went out quickly, as if he was afraid that the emperor would go back the next second.
The emperor said, "these little maids failed to do anything. They lost their mother's jade pendant. They will not wait in front of her in the future. I will choose some more powerful maids for her."
Static too imperial concubine smile: "I eat Zhai to chant Buddha, side don't need too many people, have mother Cai enough."
The emperor said, "mother Cai is too old. It's hard to avoid that she can't follow her heart. If there are some clever palace people around her today, she won't lose her jade pendant."
Gu Jiao knew nothing about the Qing Dynasty palace. She went to the small kitchen to make milk dates and flower cakes. There were many flowers left.
The little maid in waiting said with a smile, "I'll put a sachet into the girl, and she'll take it back to make dried flowers."
"Not bad." Gu Jiao nodded.
The little maid of honor found a golden silk sachet to hold the dried flowers and put the remaining petals in the basket.
After dinner, Gu Jiao went back to Bishui Hutong.
Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head in the yard, and he didn't look right.
"What's the matter?" Gu Jiao came forward and asked.
Gu Xiaoshun said, "Marquis Gu has fainted. He hasn't woken up yet."
It turned out that after Gu Jiao went to visit her aunt, marquis Gu did not leave. Instead, he asked her son where Yao had gone. As soon as the voice fell, he saw Yao coming out of the house with a big stomach.
This is not fat into a ball, is the stomach really Chuai a ball!
There is nothing more terrifying than a man who has been on a business trip for a period of time and comes back to find his wife has a big stomach.
If it's just this, it doesn't matter. After Xuanping came over, he said a few words with Yao's smile.
Xuanping Marquis, the most romantic and uninhibited man in the capital, laughs seriously with a trace of ruffian and evil spirit. Marquis Gu immediately feels that the sky has collapsed!
Marquis Gu has always been bothered by his appearance, but he has to admit that Marquis Xuanping is really better looking than him. If this prodigal son hooks his fingers, countless women will follow him.
Is... His Yao Yao is also recruited?!
Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why Xuanping Marquis was here!
His head was green with anger.
Marquis Gu couldn't hold it any longer. He vomited his tongue, turned his eyes and fainted——
Gu Jiao went to Yao's room, gave him a pulse and said, "he's OK."
Yao nodded. Although the husband was confused sometimes, there were two... No, now she was the father of her three children. She didn't want them to be children without a father.
But——
Yao looked at his bulging stomach, six months of fetal movement so severe? Why do you always feel that the child wants to kick his father?
