Chapter 057: Calculation (4)
By the time he entered the palace to attend Concubine Yu's birthday banquet, Gu Yunjin's body had basically recovered.
Early this morning, she was woken up early by the maid, and began to dress up as soon as she got up.
Gu Yunjin sat in front of the bronze mirror with a sleepy face, unable to lift the slightest spirit, and meditated in her heart: how good it would be if she could avoid this banquet, she really didn't want to face these messy and seemingly never-ending worries.
Yue Liushao took a closer look at her overly haggard face, and made up her mind: "Miss has lost a lot of weight these days, and her complexion is not very good, today you can't only wear light makeup as usual, and the slave has to retouch Miss well." ”
Gu Yunjin didn't bother to care about this, let her fiddle with it, and closed her eyes to recuperate.
"Alright." I don't know how long it took, but Yue Liushao finally exhaled with satisfaction.
Gu Yunjin was finally relieved, and stood up and moved his almost frozen body.
"Miss, breakfast is ready, please go to the outside for dinner." At this time, Shui Langlian walked in and said.
Gu Yunjin nodded, and went out for breakfast in silence.
At the end of the hour, the carriage drove out of the General's Palace.
Gu Yunjin was still in the same carriage with Pan and Gu Yunxin, and the maid who followed sat in another carriage.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull, and none of the three of Gu Yunjin spoke.
When the carriage passed by the Nanling Palace, the Pan family wanted to send someone to ask the Princess Nanling if she had left, but as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Gu Yunjin, "Mother, let's not be with the princess today." ”
"Why?" Pan Shi was puzzled, and asked suspiciously, thinking of something, and then he was a little sudden, "Are you afraid that you will see the princess or the prince?" After all, we had a marriage contract with the royal palace. Although you are going to be given a marriage to the crown prince, it is impossible for us to marry the palace again in the future, but no matter what, it is impossible for us to sever our relationship with the palace for many years. ”
Of course, Gu Yunjin didn't want the Gu family to cut off contact with the Nanling Palace, she just didn't want to see that person now. She did not agree or deny Pan's words, and only hung her head and remained silent.
Pan Shi saw that her affection was not high, so he lowered the curtain and sighed: "That's it, just listen to you, let's sit down and talk together." ”
Then, she held Gu Yunjin's hand tightly and solemnly told the two sisters: "You two have been following me today, don't go anywhere, especially Jin'er, today is unusual, don't run around." ”
"Yes, mother, my daughter knows." Gu Yunjin and Gu Yunxin responded at the same time.
Outside the palace gate, Gu Yunjin and the others just got off the carriage, and happened to meet Mrs. Fu Chen and Fu Junyue, the second lady of the Fu family.
Chen took the lead in pretending to greet warmly: "Mrs. Gu, what a coincidence, we met here again." ”
Pan also said with a smile on his face: "Who said it wasn't." Seeing that only Fu Junyue was there, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Where is your eldest lady?" Why haven't I been with you? ”
Chen sighed, half blamed and half doted, and said: "That girl is a person who can't sit idle, she played by the pool yesterday, but she sprained her foot, and now she can't even walk, and she is lying on the bed." ”
Pan Shi rolled his eyes and saw that Fu Junyue, who usually likes to dress up and wear heavy makeup, was dressed plainly today, and only an inconspicuous plain silver hairpin was inserted in her bun, and there was only a layer of makeup powder on her face that was so light that it was almost impossible to see. This made her heart pound, these two sisters, one sprained his foot, and the other dressed up like this to attend the banquet, didn't they have already gotten some news?
The more Pan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but his face was silent, "Today is the birthday of the concubine, and the emperor loves the concubine very much, so he held a birthday banquet for the concubine. ”
Don't look disgusting here. Chen cursed hatefully in his heart, and then remembered that the emperor was going to marry Gu Yunjin and the crown prince, and he was even more jealous and aggrieved, but he had to accompany a smile on his face: "Yes, I think that today's two versatile daughters of your family must have some wonderful programs dedicated to the concubine." ”
Pan Shi smiled gently: "Mrs. Fu doesn't know, Jin'er, this girl was sick a few days ago, and she also lay in bed for a few days, how can she have the time and energy to prepare any talents, Xin Yatou has always been clumsy with hands and feet, and she is timid, how dare she show her ugliness in front of the concubine, so today the three of us mother and daughter only brought their mouths and eyes, and were only responsible for eating and watching." ”
Fu Junyue said sweetly: "Mrs. Gu is really funny when she speaks, but my mother and I are just like you today, only responsible for eating and watching." After saying that, he first covered his mouth and laughed embarrassedly.
Pan symbolically laughed.
Then, a group of people walked unhurriedly towards the palace.
On the way, Fu Junyue approached Gu Yunjin and asked with concern: "Sister Yunjin, I heard that you are sick, are you sick now?" ”
Gu Yunjin just saw Fu Junyue, and also found that her dress was very different from the past, in the past, she was dressed in brocade and jade, and her makeup was so exquisite that she was impeccable, and at first glance, she knew that she was a pampered lady of a noble family, but now, she looked a bit like a person who was not loved by her father and mother, and was treated coldly. She guessed that the Fu family most likely already knew the purpose of today's birthday banquet, so they tried their best to cover up the light of their two daughters, so as not to be chosen by Prince Long.
Her face was pale, and she replied to Fu Junyue's words in a calm tone: "It's almost good, Miss Xie Fu Er cares." ”
Fu Junyue suddenly grabbed her arm affectionately, and said in a pleading tone: "Sister Yunjin, my sister didn't come today, no one talked to me, okay for me to sit with you and Sister Yun Xin today?" ”
Gu Yunjin was very disgusted by her touch, and quickly pulled out his arm, but comforted him: "Second Miss Fu doesn't have to worry about no one talking, there are many young ladies at the banquet, and everyone won't ignore you." ”
Fu Junyue's eyes rolled, and she suddenly grabbed Gu Yunxin's arm again, and said with a playful smile: "Sister Yunjin doesn't agree, then I'll beg Sister Yunxin." Sister Yun Xin, do you agree? ”
Gu Yunxin dared to make his own decisions, and aimed at Gu Yunjin while breaking free of her hand. But Fu Junyue clung to it tightly, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free, and she couldn't help but blush.
Gu Yunjin saw that Fu Junyue was endless, and couldn't help but get angry, frowned unhappily and said, "Okay, Second Miss Fu, my sister is timid, don't scare her." ”
"Then you agreed." Fu Junyue turned a blind eye to Gu Yunjin's displeasure and said happily.
Gu Yunjin really didn't want to say a word to her, so he pulled Gu Yunxin to quickly follow the Pan family in front.
Fu Junyue's eyes faintly showed a successful smile, and then hurriedly followed. Only by following Gu Yunjin's side can she always pay attention to her movements, and it is good to help her sister when necessary, so that this matter is foolproof.
If it happens, she'll be the winner!
