Chapter 24: There are always those who are not afraid of death
This trip to Lushan is the master, and there are twenty or thirty people who came.
The first is the emperor, followed by the queen and Zheng Guifei, the prince and the princess, but there are only the crown prince, the third highness, and the fifth princess.
Below, there are seven or eight court officials, and these officials are eager to make their children have a good life during this trip to Lushan, so almost all of them bring one or two of their proud children.
After this period of time, Gu Qinghe has a better understanding of this era.
Gu Qinghe discovered that Jin Zhao had a bad habit in this country.
Just like Yisang advocates violence, whoever has the most powerful fists will have higher rights.
Jin Zhao's bad habit is even more filthy than that of Yisang Country -- that is, he uses his children as a flag and an investment.
This kind of vice is the same whether it is a royal family, an official eunuch, or a common person.
In this era when the concept of class is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, they begin to become indifferent to the pain of being bullied by others and the pleasure of bullying others, and the hearts of the people gradually fade.
Of course, this is not the case in every household, but this kind of popularity of using oneself as a flag has exaggerated a large number of people, especially officials at the center of power.
Gu Qinghe doesn't think that she is a believer, but she thinks that she is ruthless, but she can't treat her children as pawns like Gu Manting.
As soon as the pieces are useless, he discards them.
This is a time when people are cold-hearted. Gu Qinghe really didn't like it.
The campfire was set up on the left side of the tent group, just downwind of the area.
The soldiers lit three large bonfires, and long tables lined up on either side of the bonfire, where Dacheng and his children were seated, while the eldest emperor sat directly above the only one, and on either side sat the empress and Zheng Guifei.
Gu Manting's seat was the third on the left hand side of the emperor, so Gu Qinghe could see the emperor's face clearly with his good eyesight.
The emperor is old, obviously only forty-five years old, but he looks like he is fifty-five years old.
According to the memory of the original owner, the current emperor Liu Quan is a competent emperor, and during the 17 years he ascended the throne, the people of the world lived in peace and contentment.
Therefore, the emperor seems to have an explanation.
Gu Qinghe looked at the queen and Concubine Zheng casually.
The queen is dignified and magnificent, with a graceful temperament, and a bit of the temperament of a mother.
His Royal Highness Liu Lingsan, the crown prince, Liu Chen, was born by the queen, and with such two excellent sons, plus a powerful general of the former dynasty who retired at home, her position in the palace can be consolidated.
And Concubine Zheng is much younger than the queen, and her eyes are charming, not inferior to a young woman of eighteen or nineteen.
Concubine Zheng Guifei has a daughter, who is only twelve years old, and is the fifth princess of the dynasty.
Concubine Zheng Guifei's family has no power, and she is still a woman, but she is the most favored concubine around the emperor, and her methods can be seen.
The first seat on the right is the prime minister's family, and the prime minister only brought his main room and thirteen-year-old daughter Xiao Whispering.
Gu Qinghe looked at Xiao Qingyu carefully, this woman has a beautiful appearance, although her appearance is worse than Gu Xianghe, she has more innate nobility and self-confidence than Gu Xianghe.
If it is a comparison, Xiao Qingyu is one level higher than Gu Xianghe.
It's just that Gu Qinghe has also heard of Xiao Qingyu. Xiao Xiao, who was born in the prime minister's family, is actually arrogant, which is not a good thing for a woman.
Gu Qinghe paid attention to this little woman because Xiao Qingyu was Gu Xianghe's opponent!
Gu Manting told her that the prime minister was not yet a member of the Third Highness, so it was very likely that the Third Highness would marry Xiao Qingyu in order to win over the prime minister.
In this way, it is really not so easy for Gu Xianghe to defeat Xiao Qingyu and obtain the position of the main concubine.
However, 200,000 taels of silver is worth her efforts.
The whole banquet was a happy one, except for the little episode that His Royal Highness the Third Prince made some unpleasant troubles, there were no other details.
As soon as the banquet ended, Gu Qinghe was called to her tent by the fourth aunt, obviously for Gu Xianghe's business.
"Qinghe, what are your plans?"
"Siniang, don't worry, the bait has been released, I think there will be a harvest tomorrow."
Gu Qinghe's calmness and calmness did not make the four aunts feel at ease, but now they can only pin their hopes on Gu Qinghe.
The next day, the emperor went hunting in the woods with a group of martial artists, leaving a group of women to guard the tent.
The queen was not idle, and summoned the ladies to sit around and have a tea party.
Gu Qinghe sat in the corner with the fourth aunt, mother and daughter and didn't talk much, listening to the verbal battles of the women at the tea party.
First, Gu Qinghe doesn't like to participate, secondly, the fourth aunt and Gu Xianghe are concubines and concubines, and they are ashamed of themselves, and Qinghe has instructed them not to show themselves in vain when the time comes.
However, just because you don't show up doesn't mean that others won't look for you.
A general's queen who was defeated under Xiao whispered, the topic turned directly to Gu Qinghe's side.
"I don't know which lady is over there, why are you hiding in the corner and not talking? Is it because you are afraid? Wang Jiayin's tone was still hidden with anger, her tone was not low, and suddenly the eyes of everyone present were drawn to Gu Qinghe's side.
The fourth aunt, Gu Xianghe, was suddenly a little nervous, and her hands under the long sleeves couldn't help but clench into fists.
Gu Qinghe's face did not change, and he put down the teacup containing boiled water unhurriedly, and then looked at Wang Jiayin lightly.
"We are the family members of the Hubu Shangshu Gu family." Gu Qinghe's tone was cold, like spring water in the mountains, with a coolness.
"Also, Miss Wang, we're not hiding, but the location just happens to be here. Furthermore, we don't speak out because we're afraid, we just haven't found an opportunity to do so. ”
"Poof."
Wang Jiayin's anger and arrogance were calm and calm against Gu Qinghe, and immediately made the other ladies present laugh.
Wang Jiayin's heart was even more angry, she was already angered by Xiao Qingyu, and wanted to find a weak vent, who knew that this little girl was unforgiving.
"No chance? Is there anyone still covering your mouth? Wang Jiayin sneered, "The queen mother held this tea party, just to let us talk to each other and communicate more, if you don't speak, isn't it a waste of the queen mother's hard work?" ”
