Chapter 020: The Gates of Hell (2)
After about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped in front of the majestic palace gate.
Gu Yunjin jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped Pan Shi to get out of the carriage.
At this time, there are many incense cars and BMWs in front of the palace gate, and the scene is extremely spectacular.
After everyone got out of the car, Pan led the way to the palace gate.
"Mrs. Gu." At this moment, a shout came from not far on the left.
Pan looked back and saw that it was the wife of the emperor's family, Chen, and her two daughters, Fu Junyao and Fu Junyue, all three of whom were dressed in brocade clothes and heavy makeup, which was very eye-catching.
Pan's brows furrowed almost invisibly, but soon a proper smile appeared on his face again, and at the same time, he pretended to be enthusiastic and moved his body a few steps to the left, just blocking Gu Yunjin, who was originally standing on her left.
Gu Yunjin understood what she meant, in fact, she didn't like the people of the Fu family in her heart, so she naturally moved a few steps to the right and talked with Gu Yunxin, just as those few people didn't exist.
Pan smiled and said, "Mrs. Fu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet here." β
"Who's to say it isn't."
Chen replied with a smile on his face, and when he walked in front of the Pan family, he saw Gu Yunjin's delicate and beautiful appearance, and he was as jealous as ever for his daughter, and couldn't help cursing angrily: This vixen, why didn't he die in the suicide more than three months ago? first entangled the prince of the East Palace, and now it is the Nanling Palace's Mansion and the Jin Palace's Mansion, why do you always have to compete with her daughter?
Although Gu Yunjin didn't look up at her, she deeply felt her resentful gaze, thinking that it was not good to turn a blind eye all the time, so she raised her head and deliberately showed a big bright smile, and her voice was a hundred times sweeter than usual: "Madam and the two young ladies are better." β
The bright and bright smile comparable to spring, and the sweet and greasy voice made Chen's heart more and more jealous to grit his teeth, he was really a seductive vixen, even if he married the prince, he would be a woman who would bring disaster to the country and the people when he became the queen in the future.
Fu Junyao kept her head down, looking listless, she was bent on marrying the prince and being the princess before, but now that the prince is going to marry the princess of Qingxiao Kingdom, she has no chance at all. In the past, it was the woman in front of her who stood in her way, so she had been competing with this person, but now, there was no point in fighting.
Fu Junyue, the second lady of the Fu family, rolled her eyes, and when she saw Gu Yunxin with a raw face, she couldn't help asking, "Who is this sister?" Why haven't you seen it before? β
Chen had already seen Gu Yunxin, who had a good face and was gentle and silent, and after hearing the second daughter's question, he looked at Pan and waited for her to explain.
Pan still smiled decently and said: "This is the second daughter of my family, because she has been introverted since she was a child, she rarely goes out, so she doesn't know her." β
The Chen family had long known that the Gu family had a daughter born to a concubine, but now that she heard that it was her, she lost interest, turned around and walked forward, and said lightly: "Mrs. Gu, let's not stand here and waste time, let's talk while walking." β
So, a group of people stepped into the palace gate and walked straight to the Shou'an Palace of the Empress Dowager Jiang.
Today's palace is different from the solemn sΓΉmu of the past, everywhere is decorated with lights, and the palace people have also changed into festive new clothes, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
Chen pretended to ask casually as he walked, "Princess Nanling, I don't know if I've arrived?" A few days ago, I went to visit her in Nanling Palace, she is not in good health, this Nanling King has never entered the palace since he entered Beijing, and I don't know if he will come today. β
Hearing her ask, Pan didn't think much about it, so he said what he knew, "The last time I visited the princess, she said that she would bring the prince and the county lord into the palace today to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother, I think the princess should have arrived." β
Chen Shi heard that she knew so much, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour, you know, she took her eldest daughter to visit the Nanling Mansion a few times, just to walk around with the palace more, meet the rumored Nanling Wang's son, and then wait for the opportunity to talk about the marriage between the two families.
It's a pity that she went a few times, but she never saw the prince of Nanling, and the princess didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about her, but she heard that the prince of Nanling had been to General Gu's mansion, and she also heard that the Pan family took Gu Yunjin to the Nanling Palace, the relationship between the two families was already close, and Gu Yunjin was a well-known lady of Kefu, and there were not many people who could choose, so the Gu family might just stare at the prince of Nanling.
Although the lineage of King Nanling is not the royal blood of the Zhao family, in terms of power and status in the court, even the royal prince is incomparable. Now, her daughter has no chance to be the crown princess, so she must firmly grasp this family that can influence and even determine the power of the imperial court to stabilize and enhance the status of their imperial palace in the court.
Chen's mind kept turning, and Fu Junyue, who was following behind, was not idle, her eyes flashed and looked at the eldest sister with a gloomy expression, and an unknown smile appeared in her eyes.
She rolled her gaze a few times, then approached Gu Yunjin and asked in an affectionate tone, "Sister Yunjin, why didn't you come to the dust washing banquet last time?" I thought I could see you. β
Gu Yunjin felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart for her overly close behavior, and she naturally didn't like this kind of person who was twisted and twisted and liked to play some tricks.
Although she didn't like it, she didn't show it too obviously, and only replied in a light tone: "I was a little unwell last time, so I didn't come to participate." β
Then, she pointed to the golden chrysanthemum blooming in the flower garden on the side and said to Gu Yunxin: "Sister, look, how beautiful that flower is." β
Gu Yunxin entered the palace for the first time, and he was inevitably excited and curious, so along the way, he had already been dazzled, and when he heard Gu Yunjin's words, he nodded excitedly.
Fu Junyue saw Gu Yunjin's cold displeasure, but she pretended to turn a blind eye and continued: "Sister Yunjin, I heard from the princess that you make dim sum is delicious, and I also like to eat dim sum, can you teach me how to make it?" β
Gu Yunjin's brows gradually frowned, and he forced his temperament to say perfunctorily: "I also want to teach you to do it, but I don't have time, my mother wants me to teach my sister to do homework, and I can't spare time." β
Fu Junyue didn't dwell on it, but said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, just teach me to do it when you are free." β
Then you just wait. Gu Yunjin replied in his heart, no longer paying attention to her, and only talked to Gu Yunxin while walking, telling her something about the people and things in the palace.
After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, I finally came to Shou'an Palace, the dormitory of Empress Dowager Jiang.
Seeing them, the palace guards quickly went in to report the news, and then quickly came out to welcome them into the palace.
Before he reached the inner hall, he heard bursts of laughter from inside, and it seemed that there should be a lot of people in the inner hall.
Gu Yunjin lowered his head and followed Pan into the inner hall, and then followed the salute to greet him, his movements were in order, and his attitude was upright.
Gu Yunxin's heart was extremely nervous, and her whole body was trembling slightly, but she knew that she had to be calm at the moment, and she couldn't make people laugh on a business trip, so she tried her best to keep calm and salute in a regular manner, and she didn't retreat to the side after the salute, and she was a little relieved in her heart.
