Chapter 316: The Queen Mother

At the beginning, Emperor Yuanchang pointed out Gu Qingwei to Ning Zhiyuan, and now that the two have married and entered the palace to thank him, compared with Chu Chengqi's appearance that he has not grown in the past two years, it is no wonder that Concubine Liu Xian feels blocked.

Gu Qingwei listened to Gonggong Xu's reminder and knew it in his heart.

She is not afraid that Concubine Liu Xian will embarrass her, it can be seen from the attitude of the Queen Mother that she loves Ning Zhiyuan's grandson very much, if Concubine Liu Xian hadn't made a mistake in her brain, she would never have chosen to embarrass her today.

In fact, Gu Qingwei didn't think that Concubine Liu Xian had a reason to embarrass her.

Isn't it that Emperor Yuanchang didn't marry Gu Qingwei and Chu Chengqi as she wanted, could it be that she still picks her soft persimmon to pinch?

In the midst of such considerations, the soft sedan chair stopped outside the Cining Palace.

Gu Qing didn't get out of the sedan chair, Xue Ling and Xue Lian hurriedly straightened her clothes, and after confirming that everything was not wrong, they entered Cining Palace with Ning Zhiyuan.

There was already a group of people waiting in Cining Palace at this time, the Queen Mother, Queen Xu, Concubine Zheng Guifei, Concubine Liu Xian, and several other concubines who had weight in the palace, none of them had arrived, and there were several princesses in addition to them.

Being able to make so many nobles in the palace wait, it is enough to see that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to Ning Zhiyuan.

As soon as Gu Qingwei and Ning Zhiyuan followed Gonggong Xu into the main hall of Cining Palace, a pair of bright or clear or wise or curious eyes all looked at her in unison, these are all nobles in the palace high above, so many people look at it together, the pressure brought to people can be imagined.

If Gu Qingwei was really only sixteen years old, he was afraid that he would show his cowardice in front of so many people.

In her previous life, she and Ning Zhiyuan were not married by holy decree, so naturally they did not enter the palace to thank her, although these people in Cining Palace saw her for the first time, but she was very familiar with them.

Empress Dowager Ning, the founding queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is said to have a very close relationship with Emperor Taizu who has long since died, although Emperor Taizu died of illness after not reigning for a long time, but during his reign, there were no other concubines in the harem except for the Empress Dowager Ning, and the only son and daughter of Emperor Taizu were also born by the Empress Dowager, that is, the current Emperor Yuanchang and Princess Anping.

Queen Xu, the eldest daughter of Xu Wenhua, the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Duan Wang Chu Chengqian, the seventh prince An Wang Chu Chengwen and the third princess Princess Yunyang.

Concubine Zheng Guifei, from an ordinary peasant girl to a concubine who now favors the harem, gave birth to a son who does not lose to King Duan, and her status in the palace is even close to that of Queen Xu.

Concubine Liu Xian, although her son is not successful, she is not as favored as Concubine Zheng Guifei, but she still has a place in the heart of Emperor Yuanchang.

In addition to these people, Gu Qingwei also accidentally saw a person under the Queen Mother.

In her previous life, she had an extremely vague impression of this person, but after seeing the painting that Chu Chengqi brought with her, her impression was deepened.

Princess Yongchang.

Like the painting that remained in Gu Qingwei's hand, Princess Yongchang had sorrow in her eyes, her face was a little pale, and she didn't know if she was sick.

It's strange that she's here, too.

Without a trace, he looked at everyone in Cining Palace, and Gu Qingwei followed Ning Zhiyuan to salute the Queen Mother and others.

"The concubines knock on the queen mother, the queen mother, the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine ......"

Ning Zhiyuan looked at the Queen Mother with a smile, "My grandson has seen my grandmother." ”

There is no difference on the faces of everyone here, they have long been accustomed to Ning Zhiyuan's casualness, he not only calls the grandmother of the Queen Mother, but also calls Emperor Yuanchang his uncle, this is full of Zhou, he is so comfortable in front of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that he is the only one.

The Empress Dowager Ning is sixty years old, but because of proper maintenance, she looks like a woman in her forties, and she can vaguely see her beauty when she was young, she wears a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, wears a red regular clothes, and steps on a pair of bright yellow crested shoes.

Raising his hand to signal Ning Zhiyuan and Gu Qing to be polite, the queen beckoned with a smile, "Zhiyuan is here with his daughter-in-law." ”

When the two came closer, her eyes fell on Gu Qingwei, and after seeing the pair of jade bracelets given by the eldest princess of Anping on Gu Qingwei's wrists, her eyes softened a little, and the smile on her face became more intimate.

This pair of jade bracelets was worn by the queen mother on her hand when the eldest princess of Anping got married and left the palace, and the eldest princess of Anping at that time said while crying that she would definitely regard this pair of bracelets as an heirloom of the Ning family and pass it on to her future daughter-in-law.

Now that she saw this bracelet appear on Gu Qingwei's hand, how could the Queen Mother not understand that Gu Qingwei had been recognized by the eldest princess of Anping.

The so-called love house and Wu, since Gu Qingwei has won the joy of the eldest princess of Anping and Ning Zhiyuan, she, who is a mother and grandmother, will of course favor her a little.

patted Gu Qingwei's hand, and the Queen Mother said with a kind smile: "Since you are already married to Zhiyuan, you can just treat my mourning family as your grandmother, and the mourning family is such a likable grandson." ”

Gu Qingwei whispered.

But Queen Xu and the others on the side were a little uncomfortable when they heard this, especially Concubine Liu Xian, who was already in a bad mood, and her face was even darker at this time.

I don't know if the Queen Mother noticed the expressions of Queen Xu and the others, or if she noticed it but didn't care, in short, she said a few words to Ning Zhiyuan and Gu Qingwei in a gentle drizzle, and asked Gonggong Xu to bring out the meeting gift, and then smiled and asked Gu Qingwei to go to Queen Xu and others to ask for a meeting gift.

The Queen Mother treated Gu Qing so easy-going, which was something that everyone didn't expect before, so long before the Queen Mother's joke came out, Queen Xu and the others had already instructed the people around them to thicken the meeting gift prepared earlier.

Gu Qing didn't really go to pay tribute to Queen Xu and a few people in turn, and then received a lot of meeting gifts.

And Queen Xu's expressions when they looked at her were also different.

Empress Xu's eyes are more inquisitive, Concubine Zheng Guifei is not only inquisitive but also a little picky, Concubine Liu Xian ......

For some reason, Gu Qingwei always felt that Concubine Liu Xian's eyes were a little wrong when she looked at her, and she didn't have the slightest curiosity when she first met, but was faintly afraid, hated, and disgusted.

This made Gu Qingwei very surprised.

Concubine Liu Xian has been in power in the palace for more than 20 years, with the face she deliberately showed, she can play a role for more than 20 years as always, and it should be easy for her to control her emotions.

But why is she so emotional when she looks at herself?

Gu Qing didn't think of Princess Yongchang, whose face was pale, I don't know, does it have anything to do with her? )
