Gu Zhirong saw Lu Shui coming in, so he smiled and said, "Did you get it back for dinner?" I'm feeling a little hungry, let's go over and eat together." ”

Then Gu Zhirong came out and saw that Cai Qing had already laid out the dishes on the round table in the east and put the dishes. Gu Zhirong saw that he was alone, so he said: "There are no outsiders here, let's just sit down and eat together, anyway, it's quite lonely for me to eat alone." ”

Cai Qinglvshui and the others all knew Gu Zhirong's temperament, and they didn't know what year they were not used to eating alone, so they had to ask a few of them to come over and sit and eat together, saying that it was a lively scene. Although the young lady said that it was boring to eat alone, they were very moved in their hearts, knowing that their young lady did not look down on the identities of them.

So someone ran to cover the door and locked it. Everyone happily sat down around the table, served rice, served vegetables, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

During the banquet, Lu Shui looked at Gu Zhirong a few times, and saw that she had been smiling, it was that kind of comfortable smile, and there was no trace of gloom between her eyebrows, so she let go of her nervous heart a little.

Gu Zhirong also said to a few of them: "In a few days, I will go to the palace to eat mountain ginseng and sea food, you guys, take advantage of the fact that you have a few more bites now, there will be no such good hospitality when I am away." ”

Cai Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss really likes to laugh, as if Miss really wants to enter the palace and never see us again." In fact, Miss didn't go through a day, and there was no one in the palace, and Miss came back in the evening, but it was as if we would never see Miss again. ”

Lu Shui's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly covered Cai Qing's mouth: "Good and dignified, what are you doing when you say these unlucky things!"

Cai Qing realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "The slave said the wrong thing, it should be beaten, it should be beaten." ”

Gu Zhirong was in a good mood, waved his hand and said, "Cai Qing is not wrong, you young lady and I are just entering the palace for one day." Moreover, I just checked the map, and the place where the banquet was held, called Wanhong Garden, was only nearly 100 meters away from the library of the palace. I've been reading some medical books lately, and I can't understand some of them, so I just went to the library to find some books to see if there are any annotations on this subject, so as to solve my doubts. ”

At this time, the green water secretly breathed softly. It turned out that my own lady found a map of the palace, and it turned out that she was going to the library to find a few books.

Cai Qing was a little worried: "Miss, can the library of the palace be freely entered, do you need any access tokens or something?"

Gu Zhirong shook his head with a smile: "No, don't use anything." I've just checked it, and the library in this palace can be said to be the most complete place in the world, and those people in the Hanlin Academy often go there to check the information when they revise books. ”

Thinking of how many books he was interested in in that place to find and read, Gu Zhirong thought of the library in college, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

Green Water suddenly said: "That place...... Will the emperor or the crown prince come?" she was worried that her young lady would go recklessly, and when the time came, she would collide with the emperor who was difficult to offend, or the moody prince, and it would be troublesome.

Gu Zhirong shook his head again: "Oh, green water, don't worry." Besides, if the crown prince wants to find a book, will he personally run to the pile of books with tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of books, and turn it into a dusty face? So what are the eunuchs around them for? Therefore, people of extremely noble status like the crown prince will not come. Green water, you can put a hundred hearts. Eat vegetables, eat more of this, this braised lion's head tastes good. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took a piece of silver to the green water.

Lu Shui knew that his young lady was using braised lion's head to gag his mouth, so he smiled helplessly, thinking that his young lady had learned a medical skill from Master Mingkong, and she was never tricked by others but did not fight back, but she was afraid that it was someone who was unlucky, so she relaxed a little, did not continue the topic, and concentrated on eating.

After eating, the table was removed, and the green water was busy cleaning up the dishes, while Gu Zhirong went to the study to continue studying her palace map. Speaking of which, she is not a road idiot, and has the ability to never forget, she read this map once, basically memorized it in her mind, and looked at it again just to confirm the exact location of the place she was looking for, and avoid detours, after all, it was a palace, not the backyard of ordinary people.

Mingkong gave her such a simple task, which made her feel incredible, thinking that this was only a beginning, and there should be more difficult ones to follow. In any case, even if he covered up his identity for himself, and he repaid him within the scope of his ability, it was purely human nature.

As soon as Gu Zhirong put away the map, Mu Jin walked in, stood still in front of her, and reached out to hand over something.

Gu Zhirong saw that it was a delicate dagger. Short and sturdy, the handle is carved with intricate textures like plum blossoms, and the blade is glowing with white light, presumably a good knife.

Gu Zhirong frowned slightly and stared at Mu Jin. Mu Jin said: "Miss, this dagger is the ancestral heirloom of my family, and my brother left it to me, it is a good knife for sharpening iron like clay." ”

Gu Zhirong said: "Since it is your family's ancestral treasure, you should take it away, why do you want to give it to me?"

Mu Jin shook his head slightly: "The slave maid has been in the mansion all the time, and there is no need for it." It's Miss, who had a relationship with the concubine for no reason before, and this trip is only a little dangerous. The slave gave the dagger to the young lady for self-defense. If there is anything, it is good, if there is something, this good knife may be able to help the young lady get out of danger. ”

Looking at Mu Jin's worried gaze, Gu Zhirong stopped refusing and stretched out his hand to take it: "Okay, I'll take it for the time being, and I'll return it to you after I come back from the palace." ”

Only then did Mu Jin relax and turn around and go out.

Gu Zhirong smiled and put away the dagger. Thinking that Cen Guifei is not a native of the Central Plains, but a foreign clan, maybe she will make some noise at her birthday banquet, so she should be careful.

There was another sound of footsteps outside, it was a snow goose.

"The slave maid has been staring at the eldest lady these days according to the instructions of the young lady, and since the eldest lady entered the palace once a while ago and came back, there has been no movement. But yesterday, the eldest lady entered the palace again, and when she came back, there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, as if there was some happy event. ”

Gu Zhirong let out an "oh". The happier the eldest lady became, the more she vaguely felt that something was wrong. The eldest lady must have gone to find Cen Guifei when she entered the palace, but what did she do when she went to Cen Guifei, and what was there to be so happy about?

The eldest lady entered the palace before Cen Guifei's birthday, which must have something to do with Cen Guifei's birthday banquet. If you speculate like this, what is destined to happen at the birthday banquet of the concubine.

The things that can make the eldest lady happy, one is the marriage of the second lady, and the other is about her own ......

Xue Yan looked at Gu Zhirong and continued: "Miss, the slave maid also heard a news, I heard that the aunt of the second lady's mother's family is going to bring the young master to the capital in a few days. ”

Gu Zhirong frowned: "You mean that martial champion last year?"
