When Mama Chen arrived at the Snow Courtyard Courtyard, Gu Qing was still reading in the courtyard at night, and she was a little surprised to see Mama Chen coming over at this time, so she got up and said with a smile: "Mama is coming over this time, right?" He beckoned Wen Qing to let Mama Chen sit with the pestle, thinking that she might not have come to supervise whether she had left the yard or not.

Mama Chen smiled and waved her hand, and said, "I won't sit down, just come over and ask a few words." That's the case, at the flower-viewing banquet, because the eldest girl of the Xuguo Mansion performed the skill of writing with her hands, the girls talked about the aunt's silent writing of "The Legend of the White Egret" when she was in the boudoir, and everyone was very curious about the truth of this matter. Therefore, the princess asked the slave and maid to come and inquire about the matter. ”

Gu Qingwan was surprised when she heard this, she didn't know that she had invited her two cousins to today's flower viewing banquet, but she smiled again.

The Xuguo Mansion is one of the four national mansions, and now the uncle still holds a lot of military power in his hands, which is considered to be one of the most honorable families in the capital, and the two cousins have been in the past two years, and they have not yet decided on a marriage, so it is natural to be invited.

Xu Yubing can show her talent at the flower viewing banquet, it seems that she is still the main force of competition, if which of these two sisters really becomes Qin Yu's wife, will the world still sing the good story of Empress E's daughter working together?

Gu Qing was drunk when he thought about it. However, it is not a good thing to mention her at a good flower-viewing banquet.

His heart tightened slightly, and Gu Qingwan said with a smile: "There is such a thing, but it is not as scary as everyone says, there was not much water sprinkled at that time, and it was just dyed on the first few pages, and anyone can write it down." As for writing with both hands at the same time, it's just a matter of fun, practice, and naughty. ”

After Gu Qing said it later, Mama Chen smiled and said, "The princess is still waiting for a reply, so the slave will leave first." ”

Gu Qingwan sent Mama Chen away, and lay back on the beauty couch but couldn't read the book. I thought of Sister Xu Yubing for a while, she used to live in Xu Guogong Mansion a lot, and she was also familiar with Xu Yubing and Xu Yuxue, the two cousins, and the relationship was not bad.

Xu Yubing's personality is a little arrogant, she loves to make trouble, and she is often angry because she thinks her grandmother is partial to her, but often she coaxes, and the little girl is fine, and she doesn't seem to have a bad heart. Although Xu Yuxue is younger, she has a good personality, she is exceptionally well-behaved and obedient, and often follows her sister long and sister short.

It's just now...... Gu Qingwan didn't know if those sisters' feelings really existed.

In the garden, Mama Chen relayed Gu Qingwan's words to Prince Li, and everyone immediately understood that there was indeed such a thing.

People say that they only wet a few pages at that time, but this is just a modest statement, if it is really only a few pages of paper, where do you need to quickly write down the things on the paper with your left and right hands? Isn't this a contradiction?

Xu Yubing's face was ugly, and she could feel all kinds of sneering eyes shooting from all directions, and she couldn't wait to disappear in place immediately.

Prince Li only nodded and smiled at Mama Chen, as if she hadn't noticed the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and said, "Now satisfy your curiosity." ”

"The second master went back to the house to greet the princess."

The maid's report sounded, and the awkward atmosphere was immediately relieved, and the ladies' eyes were shining, staring at the flower path outside the pavilion, and the girls were all quiet, all quietly tidying up their makeup, but the bright eyes, the crimson cheeks revealed their thoughts.

You must know that this flower-viewing banquet is for Prince Li and King Yanguang to choose concubines, and the two lords appear to see each other in it.

Although Prince Li and Princess Li have circled a few favorites for the two masters in advance, but the status of Prince Li's Mansion does not need to rely on the marriage of the two masters, if they are not selected by the princess, but are favored by the two masters themselves, presumably Prince Li will not disagree.

What's more, there are girls here who originally came for the position of side concubine.

This moment is the highlight of today's flower-viewing banquet, and even Prince Li sat up straight without moving.

After a while, a tall figure appeared on the trail, it was Qin Yu, who had just returned to his house in court clothes.

Many of the girls had seen Qin Yu at the triumphal ceremony, but it was so far away at that time, how could it be so clear as it is now, which is exciting.

Qin Yu strode over, and a clear sound of gasping sounded in the garden. The man in the purple red court dress, the appearance of the demon is even more evil, and the autumn sun is sprinkled on him, softening some of the evil qi on his body, but it is even more charming.

Compared with Qin Yu, who was completely like a real man before the age of the weak crown, he returned from the battlefield, and suddenly turned the nobles in the capital into scum in an instant.

The girls' hearts were beating wildly, but Qin Yu had already entered the pavilion with a cold face, and after saluting the princess and princess, she was ordered to sit aside and reply.

There were women all around, and the fragrance of flowers in the garden couldn't hide the smell of fat powder emanating from these women, Qin Yu's face was very cold, and he made up his mind in his heart, and he would leave after saying a few words.

Prince Li and Princess Li smiled at Qin Yu and said, "Why are you the only one coming back, what about your eldest brother?" ”

This is exactly what Qin Yu Yu knotted, if it wasn't for the eldest brother who ran away in advance, where would he have stayed here and been watched like a monkey.

His face was even worse for a while, and he replied: "Today is the day of the martial arts palace test, Jing Rong played the first, and was ordered by the emperor to be the champion of martial arts, just Shunchi sent a military report, Shunchi coastal area was robbed by pirates for days, and the people were killed and injured countless times, Jing Rong asked for orders on the spot to go to Shunchi Jinghai." The emperor agreed, because the military report was very good, Jing Rong left Beijing today, and the eldest brother had already gone to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion at this time, and then he probably had to go outside the city to see him off, I was afraid that he would not be able to come back, so let the child and the mother say goodbye. ”

Everyone knows the purpose of Prince Li's flower-viewing banquet, if the two brothers don't show up today, it will be simply a blatant confrontation with Prince Li, and it will be a public slap in the face of Princess Li.

It was also because of this that Qin Yu knew that Qin Yi would not appear today, and although he was reluctant in his heart, he still came back.

Princess Li didn't feel unhappy when she heard this, after all, Qin Yi was no worse than Jing Rong compared to her younger brother, Jing Rong was raised by Prince Li and Princess Li, and she had no father since she was a child, and Princess Li also loved Jing Rong very much, and now the little guy left Beijing for the first time on an errand, and it was also considered an expedition, and he had to deal with a murderous enemy like a pirate.

It will take a year or two to say the least, and the princess and princess of Li are also worried after all, feeling that something is wrong, and it is natural for Qin Yi to see him off.

She spoke: "The affairs of the court are important, but the concubine always thinks that Ah Rong is still young, and now that she has grown up, she has to lead the troops to the battle." ”

The wives around also expressed their attitudes, saying: "Xuanping Hou was admitted to the martial arts champion at a young age, and the old Xuanping Hou is really a successor, and Jiuquan should also be at ease." ”

"It is said that the Marquis of Xuanping and the prince are like brothers, and it is true."

……

In that room, in the snow courtyard, Mama Chen had just left with her front feet, and a little maid hurriedly ran into the snow courtyard, and the mother-in-law Wang who was guarding the door stopped the person, but the little maid said crisply: "The slave is Xiaoyun, the granddaughter of Mother Zhu, who is guarding the back door today, and the slave and maid have something to find Aunt Gu, and please be accommodating." ”

Although Gu Qingwan was still in the courtyard, although she couldn't see the courtyard gate, she heard the movement over there, she looked at Wen Qing and motioned for Wen Qing to take a look, because listening to the voice of the little cloud seemed to be in a hurry.

Wen Qing got up and said: "Earlier, the girl instructed the slave maid to buy the little maid at the corner gate and the back door, this little cloud slave and maid know, and the slave maid went to take a look." ”

Gu Qingwan nodded, and somehow in her heart, she had a bad premonition.

Previously, she was afraid that Zhuang Yuexian would not be able to contact her if something happened, so she deliberately asked Wen Qing to get close to the little maids guarding the corner gate and the back door, so that Zhuang Yuexian could send someone over and spread the word to the Snow Courtyard as much as possible.

It's just that since she entered the palace, Zhuang Yuexian has never been found, so something happened today.

Wen Qing came back after a while, and there was a little girl of eleven or twelve behind her, and the expressions of the two were really not very good, Wen Qing didn't even have time to salute, so she said: "Girl, Gu Zhai is gone!" ”

When Gu Qingwan heard this, his pupils shrank, and he instinctively wanted to stand up, but he paused again, stared at the maid named Xiaoyun and said, "Who is the one who came to spread the news, and now what about people?" How is it said? How to walk in the water in broad daylight? ”

Xiao Yun was stared at by her sharp eyes, as if she was a little scared, shrunk her shoulders, lowered her head and said, "It's a little guy, it is said to be called Liu Quan, and there is a very obvious black mole on the right side of his face." He didn't say why he went to the water, he just said that Mrs. Gu's room was out of water, and asked the slave maid to come and tell Aunt Sù quickly, so that the aunt could go back quickly. He seemed to be in a hurry, his clothes were burned, he said that he would go back to put out the fire, and then he ran away in a hurry. ”

Liu Quan is indeed the little guy that Zhuang Yuexian bought, and the physical signs in the maid's mouth are indeed Liu Quan.

It's just that Gu Qingwan still thinks it's too coincidental, Prince Li's flower-viewing banquet, Gu's house is on fire, will there be any traps here. Maybe someone designed her and wanted her to have a situation today and stir up the flower viewing banquet of Prince Li?

But what if, what if the house is really on fire.

Staring at the little maid, Gu Qingwan smiled and said, "Raise your head and look at me." ”

Xiaoyun seemed to be a little confused, but he still raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingwan, there was real amazement and novelty in his eyes, and there was some surprise and doubt, as if he didn't understand, why Gu Qingwan was still smiling at this time.

Gu Qingwan looked at the little maid, didn't let go of her little vague expression change, and said, "I don't know who arranged for you to do this, but I don't believe your words, you'd better go back and sue the person who instructed you, don't waste your thoughts." Alright, let's go. ”

The little maid looked a little dazed, as if she didn't understand Gu Qingwan's words, and only after half a sound did her eyes widen and said, "What is Aunt Gu talking about?" Don't you believe the slave's words? The slave maid really didn't lie, it was really Aunt Gu's family who came to deliver the letter. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wen Qing again and said, "Sister Wen Qing, you tell your aunt that I am not a person who can lie!" ”

She looked anxious and aggrieved, and all her reactions were natural, not like a fake.

Gu Qingwan sent Xiaoyun away, twisted his eyebrows and walked back and forth in the courtyard twice. Xiaoyun's reaction is very real and flawless, and it does not mean that this is not a trap.

Maybe someone pretended to be Liu Quan to report the news, but what if, what if the house was really on fire.

Thinking of Zhuang Yuexian, the only relative who was still around, and Zhuang Yuexian, who was willing to kneel for Mama Chen for her humble sake, Gu Qingwan felt that even if it was really a trap, she would jump down with her eyes open.

She strode out, Wen Qing hurriedly caught up, only the two of them arrived at the second gate, but as expected, they encountered obstacles. The mother-in-law who guarded the second door refused to let Gu Qingwan's master and servant out, let alone prepare a carriage for Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan's expression was already cold, staring at the few mothers-in-law who were obstructing, and said: "What day is today, all mothers know that the princess is feasting guests in the garden, and something happened in my family, but you have to let me go to take the princess's pair of cards before letting go, I have passed, disturbed the flower appreciation banquet, and the princess blames it, presumably it is not something you can bear, right?" ”

Mother Yang, who was at the forefront, was still smiling and said, "The slaves and maids also know what the aunt means, but the rules of the house are here." Without the permission of the princess, where can this inner house maid enter and leave the house casually? The slaves and maids let the aunt out, and if something happens to the aunt, the slaves and maids will not be able to afford it. When the aunt leaves the house, it is necessary to take the princess's pair of cards first, otherwise the slaves and maids have ten thousand guts, and they dare not arrange a carriage for the aunt and let the aunt go out. ”

"Yes, Aunt Gu still has to embarrass the slaves and maids, it's not the slaves and maids who target the aunt, it's that this rule can't be broken." Another mother-in-law also spoke.

Gu Qingwan's heart was full of anxiety, she could pretend to be a maid and secretly buy the back door or the side door to sneak out, but the problem is that this is the imperial city, and after she gets out, there is no carriage to sit in at all.

When she walks out of the imperial city where the nobles live, she can only hire a carriage when she arrives in the inner city, but in that case, I am afraid that it will take at least an hour or two to reach the Gu Mansion, and the two Gu Mansions will also burn down!

Gu Qingwan's eyes were on fire, she no longer tore apart with her mother-in-law, and turned around and went in the direction of the garden. As he walked, he said to Wen Qing: "When I get to the garden for a while, I won't go in." You quickly passed, looking for Mama Chen, to the right card will hurry back, try not to make a big noise, you know? ”

Wen Qing nodded again and again, and said, "The slaves and maids understand, so don't worry, girl." ”

Wen Qing originally wanted to follow Gu Qingwan's intention not to alarm others to find Mama Chen to get the pair of cards, but when she arrived at the garden, she was stopped by two girls before she approached the pavilion of Prince Li.

"Go and move the chessboard over there to us among the flowers and trees over here."

"By the way, bring us some fresh melons and fruits."

Wen Qing was in a hurry, where could she care about helping to move the chessboard, blessed her body, and said: "Two girls, the slave maid is not on duty in the garden today, the slave maid will go to find a maid for the two girls, and the two girls will wait a while." ”

She thought that she would be able to leave in this way, but who knew that the girl in the ginger gown was arrogant, and said angrily: "Aren't you the maid of the palace?" How can you do something and push back, hurry up and move the chessboard! ”

The girl in the fuchsia gown didn't want to make trouble, so she pulled the turmeric gown and said, "Don't worry, it's okay for us to wait." ”

Turmeric became more and more annoyed, and said, "I don't, I just want her to go!" Chen Gehui bullied me, forget it, why don't even a maid look down on me...... How did you go! You stop! ”

The two had an argument, Wen Qing wanted to sneak away, who knew that she would find out, so she had to stand again.

However, she had obviously angered the girl, and the girl decided that Wen Qing looked down on her, and said angrily: "What do you mean? What's wrong with me telling you to do something, what are you running, how can there be a maid like you in the palace! ”

The movement here was a bit big, and it immediately attracted several girls to come closer, Wen Qing apologized again and again, and her face was slightly pale.

In the pavilion, Qin Yu was looking for an opportunity to retire, but Prince Li was talking to a few ladies, he had a good ear, although he was a little far away, he still caught Wen Qing's voice.

Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and the princess and princess were startled.

Prince Li looked at her in surprise, but Qin Yu said, "It seems that something is wrong over there, my son will go over and take a look." ”

After he said a word, he strode out of the pavilion and walked in the direction of Wen Qing, Qin Yu moved, and the girls standing in the nearby flowers also followed with their eyes, and soon they all noticed the movement not far away.

When Qin Yu passed, the girl had already found a grandmother in the palace and was denouncing Wen Qing's sins, and Wen Qing knelt on the ground with an anxious face.

Qin Yu wrung his eyebrows, walked over, his eyes only fell on Wen Qing, and said, "What are you doing kneeling there?" ”

His voice appeared very suddenly, and everyone looked back and saw that Qin Yu was all shocked, and they saluted one after another, and the faces of the two troublesome girls suddenly turned red, and they were blessed with shame.

Wen Qing didn't seem to react, and was still kneeling on the ground, Qin Yu's face was heavy, and he said, "Didn't you hear what the master said?" Don't wait by your master's side, what are you doing here! ”

Mama Wang next to her stepped forward and said, "Second master, this maid collided with the guest, and the slave maid was about to take her down to punish." ”

Qin Yusao didn't even glance at the grandmother, but said, "You come!" ”

He motioned to Wen Qing, but Wen Qing didn't react, in fact, he was thinking about whether he should tell Qin Yu directly about the Gu family, and when she saw Qin Yu asking, she hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The master is a little anxious, and he told the slave maid to come to find Mama Chen's affairs, and the slave maid didn't mean to make this girl ugly." The slave maid had already said that it was not the maid who was on duty in the garden, and the slave maid found another maid for her to serve, but the girl misunderstood that the slave and maid looked down on her. ”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "What about your master?" ”

Wen Qing replied, "The master is waiting outside the garden." ”

Qin Yu's brows suddenly twisted, his face was a little gloomy, he actually walked out with a step, walked a few steps, saw that Wen Qing didn't react, but turned around and said angrily: "Where are you kneeling, what are you doing?" Waiting to be punished, you don't see if it's your fault! ”

Wen Qing was sweating on her forehead, but she got up hard, and she didn't care about the people with ugly faces, so she lifted her skirt and caught up with Qin Yu. The two soon disappeared into the garden.

When Qin Yu came over, many girls followed silently, witnessing this scene on the spot, and there was silence for a while.

After a while, the girl asked the maid of the palace and said, "Who is the maid who knelt just now?" ”

The maid who was questioned hesitated and did not reply, and the girl next to her smiled and said, "Aren't you also the maid who serves guests in the garden?" Should the guest answer any questions? ”

The little maid bit her lip and said, "That seems to be ...... Sister Wenqing beside Aunt Gu. ”

So, after a while, the girls all knew that Gu Qingwan's maid was just dangling in the garden, and King Yan Guang followed.

In the pavilion, when Prince Li heard this, she smiled slightly.

Outside the garden, Gu Qingwan was waiting in a hurry, when she saw Qin Yu striding forward, Wen Qing hung her head and followed behind with a look of annoyance, Gu Qingwan blinked, stroked her forehead, and said, "Why did you come out?" ”

Qin Yu stepped forward and clasped her hand, and said, "I heard Wen Qing say, it's okay, the mother concubine is going to confess her guilt, and the master will accompany you back to have a look." ”

After that, he dragged Gu Qingwan and walked out.

The others on the left and right had already come out, and the matter had been messed up, Gu Qingwan didn't shirk anymore, and followed Qin Yu out quickly.

Qin Yi rode a horse to carry Gu Qingwan and galloped all the way to Gu's house, but because the distance was a little far, he had to pass through the downtown area in the middle, and it would be forty minutes later.

Before entering Tonghua Lane, she saw thick black smoke rising from the direction of Gu Mansion from a distance, reflecting the blue sky was particularly shocking, Gu Qingwan originally hoped that someone was designing to deceive her, but she couldn't help but feel slightly cold.

Something really happened!
