Gu Qing raised his eyebrows without a trace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the past, if there was anything gathered together between the two provinces, at most, the Hao family's wife led a few concubines to greet them at the weeping flower gate, but this time not only the Lu family came, even Ning Jingyu, the Duke of An Guo, personally waited here, and these other juniors were even more unstoppable, so you can imagine how much the people in the West Mansion attach importance to this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The reason is that everyone in Xifu has a sense of crisis in their hearts.

After all, although the title of the Duke of Anguo is hereditary, if it can't be reused by the emperor, an empty title is just an empty shelf that is not useful, and there are actually not many noble families like the capital.

Ning Jingchang and Chu Jingshu couldn't see it, but they just pretended not to know.

Everyone gathered together to greet each other for a while, and then walked in.

Gu Qingwei was holding Brother Sheng by himself, his attention was on Brother Sheng, and he was taking the cloak he was wearing outside to block the wind for Brother Sheng, so naturally he didn't have time to pay attention to other things.

Ning Zhiyuan, who was on the side, saw that Ning Zhixu, who looked a little discouraged, still looked at Gu Qingwei for the first time, first used his body to block Ning Zhixu's gaze, and then frowned, and some irrepressible anger surged in his heart.

Last time, Ning Zhixu nodded and will be included in the mansion, which includes Ning Zhiyuan's handwriting.

His daughter-in-law was coveted by other people, Ning Zhiyuan naturally couldn't tolerate it, he thought that if Ning Zhixu could be honest after this incident, he wouldn't care about the previous matter, but now it seems that Ning Zhixu didn't realize his kindness.

Ning Zhixu is Ning Zhiyuan's cousin, and Ning Zhiyuan is naturally not good at him, but there is not only one way to make a person disappear.

Thinking of this, Ning Zhiyuan seemed to have some ghostly light in his eyes, and then lowered his head slightly, only protecting Gu Qingwei and going inside.

On Ning Zhixu's side, seeing that Gu Qingwei's figure was blocked by Ning Zhiyuan, Ning Zhixu's eyes were even darker, and the Tang family, who had been standing beside Ning Zhixu, sneered and glanced at Ning Zhixu when he saw this.

These silent battles were not looked at by Gu Qingwei, she only cared about whether Brother Sheng in her arms was frozen, and touched Brother Sheng'er's little hand from time to time, and when she saw Brother Sheng smiling at her, she couldn't help but bow her head and kiss the little guy gently.

Due to the strong wind outside, the pace of the group was also fast, and it was not long before they arrived at the hall where the banquet was held today.

Two large round tables have been set up in the hall, on which cups, plates, and chopsticks have been neatly arranged, and there are some cold dishes.

Before the meal was served, the Lu family was going to stare at the people below to do things, Ning Jingyu and Ning Jingchang and other men of the Ning family chatted together, and the female relatives of the Hao family led the concubines of the West Mansion to surround Gu Qingwei and Brother Sheng, chatting about the recent interesting things in Beijing, and not forgetting to praise Brother Sheng from time to time.

Although Brother Sheng is the youngest, he seems to be the center of everyone.

Gu Qing couldn't understand the deliberate closeness of the people in Xifu, and when Brother Sheng was praised, she could accept it peacefully.

In the middle, Gu Qingwei drank more tea and wanted to go to the clean room, so he handed Brother Sheng into the hands of the nurse, and Ning Zhiyuan, who was talking with Ning Jingchang and others, quickly got up, and walked out behind Gu Qingwei in the slightly funny smile of everyone.

Finding that there was someone behind him, Gu Qing didn't look back, and when he saw that it was Ning Zhiyuan, he paused, and then walked side by side when Ning Zhiyuan followed.

"I'm not afraid of people's jokes, I'm going to clean the room, what are you doing with me?" Gu Qingwei said.

Ning Zhiyuan didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "I also went to the clean room, what a coincidence." ”

Where is he afraid of being laughed at, now there are few people in the capital who say that he spoils his wife and is afraid of inside, instead of listening to the people in Xifu saying those compliments, he might as well come out and take a walk with Gu Qingwei.

Looking left and right, seeing that there was no one around, Ning Zhiyuan cheekily shook Gu Qingwei's hand.

Gu Qingwei was shocked, glared at Ning Zhiyuan, and wanted to pull his hand out, but Ning Zhiyuan refused to let go.

Fortunately, the sleeves of the two of them were a little wide, and when they hung down like this, they couldn't be seen very much, so Gu Qingwei let him go.

After going to the clean room, the two stayed outside for a while, and Gu Qing didn't remember what he had heard Hao say before, "If it weren't for the fact that there was no banquet in the palace this year, the two provinces would not be able to eat this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner", so he asked the questions he had been asking these days.

"Yuezhi, the emperor doesn't have a palace banquet this time, but what happened in the palace?" Gu Qingwei said.

Hearing Gu Qingwei's question, Ning Zhiyuan didn't mean to hide it, so he said: "This time, the emperor originally intended to hold a banquet to have fun with the ministers, but the empress dowager ...... there."

Since the death of Emperor Yuanchang, the Empress Dowager moved to Shoukang Palace, and then has been a little depressed for half a year, not only did not let Empress Dowager Xu, Emperor Longqing and others go to Shoukang Palace to visit, but also ate and worshiped Buddha all day long, although she is the most noble woman in the world, but she lives an extremely hard life.

This Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, Emperor Longqing also asked the Empress Dowager's opinion before issuing the decree, originally thought that since the Empress Dowager is no longer a director, she will definitely not care about this palace banquet, but he does not want the Empress Dowager not only to pay attention, but also to veto the palace banquet very resolutely.

Whether it is in the palace or among the people, they all pay attention to the word "filial piety".

In terms of national affairs, Emperor Longqing naturally would not let the Empress Dowager do it at will, but in this kind of matter, which is not very important, if he also disobeys the will of the Empress Dowager, it will be very easy to be criticized.

Therefore, this Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet ended without a problem.

Gu Qing didn't hear what the Empress Dowager meant, so he secretly sighed in his heart.

Since the beginning of this year, too many things have happened in the palace, first Emperor Yuanchang took Jindan, and then suddenly died in the Qianqing Palace, which is also related to the mother and son of Empress Dowager Xu and Emperor Longqing, Concubine Zheng and King Ning.

The Empress Dowager may not know these things so clearly, but she lives in the palace and is the person with the highest status in the palace, how can she not find any clues?

As a mother, the empress dowager couldn't save the life of Emperor Yuanchang, let alone stop the calculations of other people in the palace, so she could only eat fast and chant Buddha after Emperor Longqing ascended the throne.

Even so, the Empress Dowager is not happy, but it is certain.

That's why she vented her dissatisfaction to Emperor Longqing through the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet.

Even if she is the queen mother, in front of the imperial power, she can only do this.

Gu Qingwei remembered what he had seen before, the amazement on Chu Jingshu's face when she mentioned her married daughter, and the current situation in the palace, so she also shook her head with some emotion.
