Chapter 70: Preparing to Enter the Palace
Pei Tingyan knew that Gu Xi had always acted steadily, and since she said that she couldn't get out, she must be fully prepared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He gritted his teeth secretly, this matter must have been done by Huo Xiao again.
He asked himself that his martial arts were good, but the secret guards under Huo Xiao were not vegetarians.
Of course he wouldn't do the stupid thing of hitting a stone with an egg.
Gu Xi didn't want to explain more, so he patted his hands lightly: "Shocking wind, let Mama Zhang bring people in!"
After a cup of tea, Mama Zhang walked in with two cloth-clothed women.
The two women couldn't see clearly with their heads down, but one of them had gray temples and a little rickety, and the other had black hair, and there was a lot of hair, but the bun was too simple, and there were no hair accessories, which was a pity.
The two walked five feet in front of the couple and saluted very standardly: "The slave and maid have seen the Hou Ye and Madame." ”
Pei Tingyan bowed slightly, these two women don't seem to have anything special, but they know the rules quite well, and they used to do things in everyone.
Gu Xi said softly: "You two raise your heads. ”
"Yes, ma'am. The two raised their heads as they were told, but they still lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly at the couple in front of them.
Pei Tingyan didn't know Gu Xi's purpose, but he didn't dare to be careless, and raised his eyes and carefully scanned the faces of the two women.
The old woman was over fifty years old, her face was haggard and wrinkled, and she looked like a person who had suffered a lot, and only a pair of old eyes looked a little shrewd.
The woman with shiny hair was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and her facial features were exquisite, but her appearance was inferior to that which was too outstanding.
These two women seemed to be no different from ordinary subordinates in the house, but they made Pei Tingyan feel familiar.
Could it have been seen somewhere?" his brow furrowed again.
What the hell was Gu Xi thinking about? What could be the use of such an ordinary woman in such an important matter?
He shouted coldly: "What is the origin of the two of you, I don't know the truth. ”
The old woman blessed her body and said: "Master Hou, the old slave is the maid of the first lady's dowry, and her name is Zilian before she gets married, and the people in the house after marrying are called slaves and maids Gong everyone, and the man of the slaves and maids used to be Gong Da, the steward of the Hou Mansion stable. ”
Purple Lotus?
The first lady in the old woman's mouth refers to Pei Tingyan's biological mother Cui, Pei Tingyan was just a few years old when she died, but he still had some impression of the name Zilian.
And he has practiced riding and archery since he was a child, and he is no stranger to the people in the stable, and there was a steward named Gong Da in the past, but he didn't remember why he left the Hou Mansion later.
His voice slowed down a little and said, "Ben Hou remembers that Gong Da left the Hou Mansion with his family many years ago, why did you come back again?"
The old woman said: "The slave maid's family left the Hou Mansion eight years ago to go to the Grange to do work, and the slave and maid were found by Mrs. Hou. After that, he glanced at Gu Xi cautiously.
Pei Tingyan stopped paying attention to the old woman, and shifted his gaze to the younger woman's face: "What about you?"
The woman seemed to be a little sad, and choked up: "Master Hou can't remember the slave?"
Pei Tingyan said coldly: "Ben Hou doesn't have so much time to grind and chirp with you, what kind of person are you!"
The woman wiped her tears and said, "The slave maid is Qiaohong, and she used to serve in the Hou Ye's study for a few years. ”
Pei Tingyan recalled carefully for a while, when he was young, he was taken by his grandfather Lao Wei Yuanhou to practice martial arts.
Every time I finish my homework, I am in a hurry, and I don't have the heart to pay attention to a maid waiting in the study.
He looked at the woman in front of him again, and there was a bit of the same appearance between her eyebrows and eyes, but she was still young back then, her facial features had not grown, and even her hair did not seem to be as full and shiny as it is now.
It's just a maid who has never had much intersection with him, and now crying in front of him, what do you want to do?
Especially those watery peach blossom eyes, as if they want to seduce people at any time.
He is a dignified marquis, what kind of world has not been seen, how can such a woman hook up at will!
Pei Tingyan scolded: "If you scratch your head like this, be careful that Benhou will throw you directly out of the Hou Mansion!"
Qiao Hong was very aggrieved and tugged at the corners of her clothes, and she didn't dare to squeak again.
Gu Xi said softly: "Qiaohong has done a good job, and when I see the nobles later, I still have to maintain this state." ”
Pei Tingyan finally understood Gu Xi's intentions, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Madame means to let Benhou have one more concubine and one more concubine?"
Gu Xi stood up and shook his sleeves: "In addition to this, can Master Hou come up with a better way?"
Pei Tingyan glanced at the red man, and sure enough, the woman looked more and more crying, as if he had really done something evil that he had abandoned from the beginning!
His tall and muscular body trembled almost imperceptibly, Gu Xi's idea was really ranciful, but it seemed that he couldn't find a better idea right now.
It is better for him Pei Tingyan to have a bad reputation on his back, and he can't make His Majesty the Emperor suspicious of his sister.
Gu Xi had long known that he would agree, and turned his head to look at the Western table clock on Duobaoge, at this time it was already the end of the ugly time, and there was not much time left for the people from Pei Mansion to enter the palace.
She looked at Gong and Qiaohong, and ordered in a deep voice: "Now Mrs. Ben is going to dress up and prepare to enter the palace, and the two of you are here to talk to Master Hou, and you must not wear it when you enter the palace later." ”
The two women hurriedly replied, "Yes, ma'am." ”
Gu Xi's gaze lightly crossed Pei Tingyan's somewhat awkward face, if she couldn't even solve this little thing, she couldn't stand this grievance, why should she be her daughter's biological father!
And that's just the beginning!
She smiled at Mama Zhang on the side: "Mama will stay here to help Master Hou, I'll go first." ”
Mama Zhang bowed her head slightly and stood beside Pei Tingyan.
An hour later, the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion was lively again.
As the mother of the queen of the dynasty, the Pei family entered the palace to worship much earlier than other mansions.
Needless to say, the pomp and circumstance of one door and three waits were self-explanatory, and Weiyuanhou Hutong was soon filled with all kinds of luxurious carriages.
Gu Xi's carriage was lined up behind Lao Weiyuanhou and Cheng Enhou, and Pei Tingyan, who only likes to ride horses on weekdays, also accompanied his wife to ride in the carriage very rarely.
Pei Jincheng and Pei Jinhong rode horses next to their parents' carriage, both of them were bright and handsome, and they were the most conspicuous presence in the entire Pei Fu convoy.
Pei Jinxin was in a bad mood, if it weren't for the fact that Qi Su personally went out of the palace to pick her up, she wouldn't want to enter the palace at all.
She sat with Qi Su in her most luxurious carriage in the capital, with a face that no one wanted to care.
The three brothers and sisters don't know what kind of situation they are about to encounter when they enter the palace today.
