"What His Highness asked is not something that Yuan can say more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Gu Yuan pondered for a while, and said carefully, "The candidate for the crown princess has already been decided, and Yuan doesn't dare to say more." “
Princess Xunyang's face was clearly shocked, although the princess had already been selected in the queen's heart, but only a few people knew about it, and no edict had been issued, everyone was just undecided, who expected Gu Yuan to say it, but she couldn't know it at all.
"You said it was a foregone conclusion, but let's talk about who it is!" Princess Xunyang decided that Gu Yuan was just bluffing, and she didn't know who it was, so she deliberately said this.
Gu Yuan was unmoved: "The position of the crown princess is related to the national system, and Yuan doesn't dare to say much." Her gaze kept falling on the mica screen, "Your Majesty and the Empress Mother's thoughts are all for the sake of Dajin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, naturally they are all good." ”
She seems to be answering the question, but she is betting on the person behind the screen, there are only a few people in this palace who can instruct Princess Xunyang to summon her in to tempt, and the prince naturally won't, so the person behind the screen can only be the mother of the prince and Princess Xunyang, the current queen. Her words were not for Princess Xunyang, but for the queen behind the screen.
"I see that you are just Qiao Zhang, clearly ......" Princess Xunyang couldn't get an answer, she was very disdainful, and was about to speak, but was softly whispered by the person behind the screen: "Xunyang." Interrupted her.
"Remove the screen, I want to meet this sister-in-law." The palace was obviously empty, but at this time, the palace maid rushed in, quietly lifted the screen, revealing the people behind the screen.
Behind the screen is a middle-aged woman wearing a golden phoenix pattern Danbi sara skirt that is extravagant, her appearance is somewhat similar to Princess Xunyang, but it is as bright as the morning glow, with a beauty far better than Princess Xunyang, step forward, and have the majesty and nobility that Princess Xunyang can not reach, Gu Yuan recognized that she was the mother of the prince and Princess Xunyang, Queen Xu of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
"The Queen." Gu Yuan stood up and curtsied, his face unchanged. It's just that her heart is already turbulent, is it really the queen who arranged this meeting, so what is she for?
"Get up," the queen's tone was very gentle, she sat beside Xunyang, and looked at Gu Yuan with a smile, "You are very smart." ”
Gu Yuan didn't speak, she knew that the person in front of her was not as easy to deal with as Princess Xunyang, she didn't dare to speak easily, just waited for the queen to continue.
"I heard the prince say that you have the ability to predict the future, and you have also anticipated the war between Qianhu and my Dajin, which is very surprising." The queen didn't wait for her to answer, and looked at Gu Yuan while holding Xunyang's hand, "So let Xunyang summon you into the palace to see if it's really true." ”
She didn't continue, but looked at Gu Yuan gently: "Are you the sister-in-law of the Gu family in Wu County?" ”
Gu Yuan owed: "Yes, it is a side branch of the Gu family in Wu County." ”
"Listen to Xunyang, your grandmother died early and has been fostered by the Gu family," the queen's tone became more and more friendly, as if she was gossiping about homely things, "I have a good upbringing, and my talking attitude is not inferior to those sisters-in-law of Jiankang." ”
"Mother's praise." Gu Yuan was alarmed in her heart, the queen summoned her in, it couldn't be just for gossip.
"I heard that your eldest brother and sister have also come to Jiankang," the queen looked at her, "Your eldest brother is still the chief of the East Palace, but is this so?" ”
Gu Yuan's face moved, and he lowered his head: "Yuan has died since he was a child, and he has no brothers and sisters, but he is fostered in Gu Mansion, and his brother Gu Tongzhi is now valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the chief of the East Palace, and his clan sister Ayao Ayun is also in Jiankang Gu Mansion." "She won't be involved with the Gu family anymore no matter what.
The queen heard the meaning of her words, raised her eyebrows, and smiled a little: "After all, you are a sister-in-law who has never been out of the cabinet, where there is a reason to be independent, since your brothers and sisters are all in Jiankang, you should naturally rely on them to take care of you, after all, you are still the sister-in-law of the Gu family." “
Gu Yuan lowered his head and did not reply.
"I heard that you are good at silk tong, and your piano skills can be called everyone, which is excellent." The queen saw her reluctance, her face became even colder, and her tone was a little lighter, "In the future, you can also teach Xunyang, she is too jumpy, and she should calm down." ”
Princess Xunyang pouted: "Queen Mother, she will be the concubine of the East Palace in the future, how can she teach me to practice the piano!" ”
Concubine of the East Palace?! Gu Yuan raised her head in shock, looking at the queen and Princess Xunyang sitting next to her, they wanted to ......
The queen said to Princess Xunyang in disgust: "How can you, a princess who has not yet come out of the cabinet, be so rude, this is not what you should say." She instructed the palace maid who was standing with her head bowed on the side, "Wait for the princess to go down first, I have something to say to the Gu family's sister-in-law." ”
Princess Xunyang reluctantly stood up and bent her knees to the queen, then turned around, and when she looked at Gu Yuan, she was full of smug smiles: "In the future, you will be my imperial brother's concubine, no matter how humble you are, you still have to have other delusions!" ”
It turns out that it is.
Gu Yuan's body trembled slightly, she knew Princess Xunyang's malice, but she never thought that it would be such a plan. It is no wonder that the queen is sure that she has the ability to predict, so she naturally wants to try her best to make her use by the prince, and the best way for a sister-in-law who has not left the cabinet is nothing more than to accept her as a concubine.
The queen's words came softly and gently: "Originally, I should have ordered someone to pass on the edict and then say that I knew it, but Xunyang, this kid is straightforward, since he said it, there is no need to hide it, although the princess has been decided, but there is no competent person in the East Palace to serve you, I see that although your identity is not obvious, you still know how to read and behave, and you have rules and regulations, which is very in line with my heart, and the prince is also very praising you, it is more suitable, and when I return to the palace, I will issue an edict to admit you into the palace and serve the prince." “
Gu Yuan's heart was in turmoil, but he had to cheer up: "Niangniang doesn't know something, because Yuan has the ability to predict, he knows that once he is suitable, there will be trouble......
It's just that before she could finish speaking, the queen interrupted her with a sneer: "It is a great blessing to be able to serve the prince, and what misfortune can there be, it is just nonsense, and there is no need to say more." ”
"The crown prince once promised you to be the good lady of the East Palace, and I naturally will not treat you badly," her tone was unquestionable, "I also allow you to be the good lady of the East Palace, and take care of the affairs of the East Palace before the crown princess enters the palace." Looking at Gu Yuan from above, waiting for Gu Yuan to thank her and thank her for being so important.
Gu Yuan straightened up and looked at her, without the slightest intention of giving in, she couldn't and wouldn't be the prince's concubine, if she lived again just to be practiced by others, she would rather not.
"Niangniang, the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate to give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a concubine at this time, right?" A female historian who had been standing respectfully behind the queen stepped forward lightly and said softly, "What's more, the crown princess has not yet settled, if the concubine with a name is canonized at this time and enters the East Palace, I am afraid that I will ......" The female history has never shied away, and it can be seen that the queen is trusted by the queen on weekdays.
The queen frowned slightly, and after thinking about the words of the female history, she hesitated a little: "It is reasonable, if you teach Your Majesty to know, I am afraid that there will be some twists and turns." ”
The female history laughed and glanced at Gu Yuan: "It's better to wait for the Queen Mother's birthday, and then it's not too late to issue an edict to canonize Liangyuan." ”
The queen allowed and explained a few words to Gu Yuan, and then asked her to go back and wait to enter the palace. Gu Yuan kept silent, just hung his head and was silent. She can't open her mouth to refuse, this Queen Xu seems to be gentle and kind, but she is from an ordinary family, her temperament is dark and cold, and her means are deep and unfathomable, if Gu Yuan dares to disobey her will, she is afraid that she will not be able to leave this Zhaoming Palace today. She had to think of another way!
The female historian personally sent Gu Yuan out, looked at Gu Yuan with a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "In a while, it will be the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the palace is very busy with this, I am afraid that it will take some time to handle the canonization, and the sister-in-law will return home with peace of mind and wait for the news." The meaning of this is to tell Gu Yuan that there is still time, and it may not be a foregone conclusion?
Gu Yuan was startled, looked up at the female history, but saw her smile and lowered her head, and said no more.
