Chapter 166 Happy Events (two more)

In this palace, there is no grace and reward from the empress dowager and the emperor, even noble ones such as princes, princesses, etc. have to walk obediently.

The group walked up the white marble steps, entered the main hall from the main entrance, and walked all the way to the direction of the east side hall.

The maid in charge of the palace always had a smile on her face, walked slowly, and tentatively said to Gu Yanfei: "The girl has a very good face, is this the first time you have entered the palace?"

"That's true." Gu Yanfei nodded with a smile, didn't say a word, just pretended he didn't understand the other party's temptation.

Wang clenched the handkerchief tightly when he heard the words. There were 110,000 questions in his heart. It was as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat's claws, but this was not a good place to question Gu Yanfei.

After passing through two more door curtains, Wang Shi and Gu Yanfei followed the maid in charge to a warm pavilion that was as warm as spring.

The house is filled with a thick sandalwood incense, which spreads out in a curling manner. The golden brick floor under your feet is like a mirror, and the floor is covered with a gorgeous carpet that extends to a pair of black embroidered shoes embroidered with golden phoenixes.

Wearing a red sandalwood-colored round-shaped longevity pattern engraved silk robe, Mrs. Yuan sat on the kang at the rear, with a graceful bearing and graceful appearance.

In the Nuan Pavilion, there are many young girls sitting on both sides, a piece of clothing and temples, the fragrance is delicate, looking at the flowers.

Wei Jiao Niang is also among them.

She has already changed into a new dress, wearing a peach-pink begonia flower engraved silk begonia with a water-red long skirt, a lily bun with blue silk, and a golden phoenix inlaid with a ruby ​​on her head. Beaded shake.

Wei Jiao Niang was so bored that she could hardly sit still, she secretly yawned with her head sideways, and the three strings of tassels that swayed on her head swayed slightly.

When she turned around, she saw Gu Yanfei who had come in with Wang's family, her spirits suddenly lifted, her drowsiness disappeared, and her eyes shone brightly.

Yan Fei, you are here too! Wei Jiao Niang quickly blinked her left eye at Gu Yanfei and winked.

Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang exchanged a tacit look.

Mrs. Wang took Gu Yanfei and Gu Yuncong to the front and greeted the Queen Mother Yuan. The Queen Mother Yuan drank tea gracefully, her expression was light, neither warm nor cold, she simply said "no courtesy", her eyes When it landed on Gu Yanfei, it brought a little scrutiny.

An old woman leaned over and whispered to the Queen Mother Yuan. The Queen Mother nodded slightly, her eyes darkened, and she glanced at Gu Yanfei again.

Empress Dowager Yuan didn't give her a seat, so Mrs Wang could only stand there, daring not to move or glance, with a respectful and dignified look.

Soon, Empress Dowager Yuan put down the pastel enamel three gentlemen tea cup in her hand, stroked the trim on her sleeve, and said to the Wang family in a light tone: "Mrs. It's been a long time coming."

The "Ling Ai" in her mouth was of course Gu Yuncong.

Mrs Wang's heart skipped a beat, for fear that something might change, she made an expression of listening to the Queen Mother's orders.

"Ling Ai is about to arrive soon. It will be decided after the new year." Empress Dowager Yuan said calmly, her expression was calm, and there was a hint of arrogance in her words.

Wang Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his knees and gave a big salute to the Empress Dowager Yuan, and said in a serious tone: "I will follow the Queen Dowager's decree."

Mrs. Wang is not stupid either. She will wink a little bit, and she can naturally see that the Queen Mother Yuan did not look very happy when she said this, but no matter what, as long as this marriage can be accomplished.

In the past few months, everything in the family has been unlucky and bad luck, and now there is finally a happy event, which can sweep away the bad luck brought by this girl Gu Yanfei after returning.

Gu Yunchang, who was standing beside Wang Shi, followed him and bowed his knees, thanking him without being humble or arrogant: "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager."

Her quarrels are full of smiles, her movements are elegant and generous, and her bearing is very good. She is like a lotus flower, and her style is natural.

Seeing this, even the Queen Mother Yuan, who didn't like her, nodded secretly.

Empress Dowager Yuan then instructed the old lady, "You take Madam Dingyuan Hou to sit down in the West Hall."

She didn't mention Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunqiang, obviously planning to keep these two girls in the warm pavilion.

Wang noticed when he first entered the warm pavilion that the ladies who were appointed were not there, only those girls' homes were left here. I think the queen mother had other plans.

The Wang family was very knowledgeable, and immediately resigned, and followed the old lady to the West Hall.

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunqiang were given seats by the Queen Mother Yuan.

Wang's forefoot just left, and two families came to the rear. It was still the elder who was dismissed by the Queen Mother, leaving only the two girls, Lu Qin and Yu Chaoyun.

The maids of Shou'an Palace trained to serve tea to all the girls quickly, and the fragrance of Biluochun spread out with the heat.

The girls who were called by the Queen Mother today were either noble or noble, or came from a wealthy family. They often met at banquets in various prefectures on weekdays, and they knew each other a lot.

They did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother, and greeted each other with smiles.

"The Empress Dowager," Yu Chaoyun said without being humble or arrogant, "I heard that the high-quality Biluochun is a tribute. I tasted it today, and it really smells delicious, fresh and fresh, and the minister's daughter is really a blessing."

Goodbye to Yu Chaoyun, Gu Yanfei was very calm, just glanced at each other lightly, and drank tea with his head down.

The Empress Dowager Yuan smiled kindly, and ordered the maid in charge to give her a jar of Biluochun, and said with a smile, "This young girl's family is in good spirits. I am happy in my heart.”

"Come on, tell Aijia, what do you like and what are you good at?"

Yu Chaoyun was the first to answer: "Back to the Empress Dowager, ministers and daughters usually like to play the piano."

She didn't say much until she pointed it out. She was both generous and decently maintained the character of a family girl.

Immediately after, the other girls next to them answered, some said they liked playing chess, some said they liked copying scriptures, and some said they were good at flute and zither...

When it was Wei Jiaoniang's turn, she burst out two words with a smile:

"fight."

The surroundings were silent for a while.

Several daughters from aristocratic families disapproved and thought that Wei Jiao Niang was vulgar and rude, while Lu Qin, who was sitting beside Wei Jiao Niang, almost didn't laugh, she tried her best to cover her mouth and hold back her laughter.

"Push!"

A crisp laughter suddenly rang out among the girls, which was particularly loud in this quiet warm pavilion.

Everyone's eyes rushed towards Gu Yanfei, only to see Gu Yanfei's black eyes shining brightly, when he smiled, it was like the first blooming of spring flowers, brilliant and splendid, with a three-point willfulness.

"..." The Queen Mother Yuan, who was drinking tea, almost choked, the corners of her lips pursed tightly, and the bottom of her eyes flickered.

Wei Jiaoniang's answer was just perfunctory.

Empress Dowager Yuan squinted at Wei Jiao Niang, held back her displeasure without getting angry, and said lightly in an admonishing tone: "Jiao Niang, the girl's family should be dignified and dignified, gentle and chaste, you, you are all like a concubine, don't shout and beat you all day long. shouted to kill."

Facing Empress Dowager Yuan's reprimand, Wei Jiao Niang was not at all afraid or uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Emperor Taizu said that women are not necessarily inferior to men. The eldest princess Fengyang also led an army and galloped on the battlefield. He has made great military exploits for my grand scene."

The eldest princess of Fengyang is the eldest sister of the late emperor. She once led an army of 100,000 troops to pacify the three northeastern states, and made great achievements for Dajing, which will be recorded in history forever.

Most of the noble ladies who came from the ranks of noble military generals admired her, and they couldn't help showing fascination and smiling.

The Duke of Wei's mansion had a detached status in the Dajing Dynasty. The current Duke of Wei, Wei Shu, not only had a heavy hand, but also was Jin Shang's cousin, the cousin of King Kang. extraordinary.

She was probably the only one who dared to speak to the Queen Mother in such a perfunctory manner.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan choked for a while, the corners of her lips pursed even tighter, and a shadow flashed under her eyes.

The eldest princess of Fengyang is the eldest sister of the late emperor. She has a fierce temperament and a valiant appearance. Although she is a daughter, she is more aggressive than men, and stands in the court with illustrious military achievements.

When the late emperor decided to make her the empress, the eldest princess Fengyang was very opposed to it. When she was in a hurry, she even whipped her and the late emperor with a whip.

Now that I think about it, the Queen Mother Yuan can't help but be afraid of three points.

Her slightly gloomy eyes swept across Wei Jiaoniang, and landed on Gu Yanfei again. After staring for a while, she asked, "Aijia remember that you are the second girl of the Gu family, and what are you good at?"

"Fortune-telling." Gu Yanfei replied solemnly, with a very sincere expression.

"Puchi!" Wei Jiao Niang laughed happily, her laughter was as crisp as a bell, and she looked at Gu Yanfei and smiled.

She is good at fighting, Gu Yanfei is good at fortune-telling, they are a perfect match!

"Snapped!"

Empress Dowager Yuan slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table, frowning slightly, and the anger she had just suppressed was unabashedly released at this moment.

For Wei Jiaoniang, the Queen Mother Yuan would endure a little or two because she was worried about Duke Wei, but not for Gu Yanfei.

"Presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Yuan said coldly, her voice was not loud, but she was not angry and arrogant, "In front of Aijia, you dare to be so indifferent."

The surrounding maids and chamberlains all bowed their heads in silence.

Gu Yanfei looked at Empress Dowager Yuan and smiled without saying a word, the corners of his lips curved like a smile but not a smile.

She always tells the truth, how come no one believes her!

"..." Gu Yunchang frowned slightly, feeling that she couldn't see through Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei is not stupid, no, she should be said to be a smart person.

Every time she does some Shinto tricks at home, she always has a plan, so why is she today?

Most of the others also saw it. The Queen Mother took her dissatisfaction with Wei Jiaoniang to the second girl of the Gu family.

or……

Empress Dowager is playing off the topic.

Yu Chaoyun remembered how the eldest prince gave Gu Yanfei a different look that day, and his gaze towards her was somewhat meaningful.

The Nuan Pavilion was quiet for a moment, and the white jade incense burner in the corner quietly spit out a trace of sandalwood, which was quiet and cold.

"Since you say that you are good at fortune-telling," Empress Dowager Yuan sneered and casually stroked her sleeves, her voice was a little colder, "Then you can do the math for Aijia."
