Chapter 135: Hints
In the blink of an eye, it was only a few days, and the banquet day on the post arrived, originally a banquet in the palace, it should be the queen, but because Cheng Guifei was quite favored by the emperor, Emperor Jianheng thought that Cheng Guifei was left alone in the palace, and it was inevitable to be lonely, so it was specially allowed, and it was also shown in the dark, and now Xiao Yan, the ninth prince, is not small, this time it is just right to go to see each other in secret, and when the time comes, it is good to choose a suitable family affair, and it is good to extend the heirs as soon as possible.

On this day, Gu Yanling was undoubtedly combed by Mrs. Hui, the girl curled her cloud-like hair into a startling bun, and her hair was not decorated with too many pearls, only from the top of her hair to the bun, there was a dotted emerald inlaid pearl moon butterfly pattern Xiaodian, and the sideburns were obliquely inserted into a step, with a rose red folded branch moon butterfly pattern makeup satin brocade skirt, her beautiful face was covered with a layer of delicate and generous makeup, and a little plum saffron between her eyebrows inadvertently made it more girlish.
When Gu Yanling said goodbye to the old lady Fu, he was accompanied by the Xie family, who was still in good health, and walked to the Xuanwu Gate on this day, with many cars and horses, but they lined up in an orderly manner to wait outside the palace gate.
Just when Xie Shi's expression was tired, a small voice suddenly sounded outside, Xie Shi sat up slightly, and then heard a beautiful woman's voice outside.
"Mrs. Shizi, Miss Gu, the slave is the moon by the side of the concubine, and she is ordered by the mother to welcome her. β
Xie Shi and Gu Yanling looked at each other silently, and then said calmly and rudely: "I'm so tired." β
As the words fell, a woman's polite salute was heard outside, and there was gradually movement in front, and the next moment, the carriage moved forward slowly.
Gu Yanling's expression was calm, and he muttered slightly for a moment, and then he lightly lifted the corner of the curtain with his bare hands, and when he saw that the side gate of Xuanwu Gate was still lined up, and their carriage was heading to the main gate, it was already clear.
Concubine Cheng's move has already shown their privileges of taking care of the family in front of everyone, so it is difficult for others to think that others will not pay attention to her.
After all, now that Xiao Yan is at the age of talking about marriage, he said that this small banquet was just to add excitement to Concubine Cheng, and by the way, to introduce her niece to get acquainted.
In essence, everyone knows what is behind this banquet.
No matter how subtle Concubine Cheng is today, it will fall into the eyes of all the people who go to the banquet without leakage, constantly magnifying and pondering.
However, she never felt that she could fade from the eyes of everyone in plain clothes and light skirts, that seemed too naΓ―ve, after all, just with her identity as the Gu family and the Xie family, she was destined to be looked at and discussed more wherever she went.
What's more, the daughter of the Xie family has been married to the royal family for a long time, which is a mission and responsibility in the eyes of the Xie family, but in the eyes of others, it is grace and glory.
seems to be born, with an aura that others don't have.
So she is rarely glamorous on weekdays, but she doesn't feel the need to be dazzling with her clothes.
And today, she is going to be unusual.
When she arrived at Changchun Palace, she followed Xie's side and went in every way, until she entered the hall and saw the noble lady on the high seat, so she naturally saluted.
Today, Concubine Cheng is wearing a magenta-colored apricot peony swastika satin palace skirt, her hair is curled into a high bun, a red peony flower is hairpinned between her hair, a beaded step is hanging in front of her temples, and a pair of emerald long spike earrings in her ears highlight her slender and snow-white neck, charming but not enchanting.
"Hurry up, please take a seat with Madame and Miss Gu. β
Cheng Guifei smiled sideways and looked at Suizhu beside her, Suizhu was busy helping Xie up personally, Xie did not deliberately refuse, naturally got up with his strength, bowed slightly, and then sat down on Cheng Guifei's right hand with the guidance.
"Madame, it's been a hard journey. β
Seeing that Concubine Cheng was like this, Xie Shi pursed a proper smile on the corner of his lips, and said with a slight bow: "It is an honor for the concubine to accompany the little girl to the banquet of the mother, where can I talk about hard work." β
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Guifei's lips, and then she glanced at Sui Yue beside her, and Sui Yue comprehended the ground, and when she came again, she was already holding a soft cushion in her hand, and walked up cautiously and put Xie Shi behind her.
Seeing that Concubine Cheng was so polite, Xie Shi stood up and said without humility or arrogance: "In front of Niangniang, where can the concubine afford it." β
Cheng Guifei smiled kindly when she heard this, and the corners of her lips were a little more cordial: "The Wang family and the Xie family are considered to be friends of the family, they are originally a family, where can they afford it, Madam, please sit down." β
Seeing this, Xie Shi didn't say anything anymore, sat back dignifiedly, Cheng Guifei looked at the bright and dazzling girl beside Xie Shi, her eyes lit up slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed, and then she smiled and said: "This is Ah Jiu, although it is the first time to meet, it makes this palace feel cordial." β
While talking, Concubine Cheng beckoned to Gu Yanling, Gu Yanling turned her head to look at Xie, and saw Xie nodding slightly, so she stepped forward dignified and generous.
Cheng Guifei looked at it and groaned slightly, and looked at it slightly, although she was also from a family, the girl in front of her was very different from Ah Jun, no matter how to dress up with gorgeous and exquisite dresses, she always lacked a little bit of proud and glorious bearing.
That kind of bearing is from the inside out, and it can be seen that there is always a difference between the descendant branch and the side branch.
Concubine Cheng pulled up the girl who was saluting closely, and then stroked the girl's delicate hand and said, "The last time I heard that Ah Yan and you met in the garden during my illness, I was sorry at that time, I wanted to see you earlier, but I happened to miss it due to illness." β
Seeing that the girl in front of her pursed her lips and did not speak, Concubine Cheng glanced at the hairpin on the girl's head with a smile and said: "The set of hair and noodles that was given to you last time, have you ever worn it? β
Gu Yanling's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he naturally understood what Cheng Guifei meant.
That set of heads is not just a random reward, if you really wear it, it will inevitably give people a little bit of affection and I want to do it.
She, however, was reluctant.
Seeing this, Xie Shi was about to speak, but he heard the girl say skillfully: "The lady's reward is valuable, and the courtiers are flattered, so they have been carefully preserved and have never been easily worn." β
Concubine Cheng's eyes paused slightly, and then she glanced at the girl thoughtfully, but the smile on the corner of her lips was even worse.
"No matter how valuable things are, they can't compare to people, what kind of things can't be suppressed by our Ah Jiu. β
Speaking of this, Cheng Guifei smiled and turned her eyes to look at Xie Shi on the side, the corners of Xie's lips floated slightly, and she never answered or refused, Cheng Guifei saw that she had already understood a little in her heart, and immediately glanced at Suizhu on the side.
With the beads bowing his head, he grabbed a beaded box from nowhere and carefully handed it over.
"This set of heads and faces was given by the mother's family of the palace when the palace canonized the concubine. β
Cheng Guifei said as she opened the box, and the colorful silk inlaid treasure beads and golden crested faces in the box came into view, dazzling, and you could see that it was not an ordinary reward at a glance.
Xie Shi and Gu Yanling's eyebrows frowned almost imperceptibly, and when Concubine Cheng's words sounded again, they gradually calmed down again.
"This palace saw Ah Jiu's dress today, and this set of heads and faces is just right. β
Xie Shi calmly glanced at the brocade box, and said in a soft tone: "This is a gift from Niangniang's mother's family, it is of great significance, how can Ah Jiu receive it? Moreover, Ah Jiu is only twelve now, such a good thing, she really can't afford it, the concubine gave it to the little girl Xie Niangniang, it's just this precious thing, it's really-"
"Although I can't use it now, I'll just wait for the marriage to make a make-up. β
Concubine Cheng smiled kindly, and blocked Xie's reasonable refusal, Xie Shi's lips were silent, but a trace of uncertainty rose in her heart.
Concubine Cheng took back the smiling eyes of the Xie family, took the box, personally pushed it to the woman's hand, and continued with a pleasant face: "At your age, this palace likes such bright things the most, where are you willing to refuse to use it because of its preciousness, but it has made the pearl dusty in vain." β
The girl heard the voice of Cheng Guifei's words, pursed her lips without saying a word, turned her head to look at Xie, and when she saw Xie's signal, she didn't say more, and took it with a smile, but she never refuted Cheng Guifei's face.
However, others can't understand Cheng Guifei's actions, where can Xie Shi see the tough hints, although Xie is soft and hard, he can deal with it calmly, but he doesn't like Cheng Guifei's sudden toughness.
Because the people from the Xie family have never tolerated the forced submission of others, don't say that the Xie family's original background is a little bit better than that of the Wang family, even the current Cheng Guifei, and she only oppresses people with the position of concubine.
Something like marriage can never be twisted.
What's more, it was her daughter who was conceived in October.
Gu Yanling is not surprised by Cheng Guifei's move, Cheng Guifei seems to be close to people, but because of her family background and the position of the concubine, she has already engraved that imperceptible pride in her bones.
When a person has been in a high position for a long time, he is not used to accommodating others.
But this is just right, the Xie family is dissatisfied with this marriage, and the marriage that Cheng Guifei wants to promote is even more variable.
