When the first rays of sunlight poured into the Jingren Hall in the cold winter morning, Yuan Yi woke up, looking at the tired little girl who was sleeping soundly in her arms, refreshed and proud, and a little frustrated and annoyed - it's not that she is lonely, it's that the little goblin is too seductive!

He kissed the pink apple face with a heartbeat, the whole night last night was really fierce and hot, in order to prevent him from touching the sheep's intestines, she simply did everything she could to respond to her needs, and she had been coquettish and seduced as if she wanted to squeeze him dry. The prince, who hadn't been able to be so happy for a long time, thought endlessly, this girl took the initiative to make people's blood rush, how can she often eat gluttonous feasts and successfully prevent pregnancy?

When Gu Ci woke up, he was already on the clock, and he recalled last night's pomp and circumstance shyly, and saw that the mattress and sheets were all new, and he wailed and shrank in the corner with his lower abdomen and pretended to be dead: If you really have a small bun in your belly, you must be filial to her as a mother when you are born! In order to conceive you, how hard did you work to make your mother!

Yiqing heard the movement knocking on the door and came in, chuckling, "Do you want to get up?" ”

She poked her head out in shyness, and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?" ”

"It's past nine o'clock, there's nothing to do today, Your Highness ordered you to have a good rest."

"What about my brother?"

"In order to strengthen his body, His Royal Highness is going to go to Uncle Wu's house to ask for a few tricks."

Gu Cihan glared at him with disgust, "Yiqing, you have learned badly!" ”

"Get up and eat something, take advantage of the cold weather, and make up for yourself."

Gu Ci put on his underwear and underwear by himself, got out of the quilt, and washed and dressed up under the service of the palace maid, while thinking about what happened to the old lady and the fifth sister going to Huangjue Nunnery.

After the breakfast palace ladies retreated, she asked Yiqing, "What did Uncle Xin Wubo and Fifth Sister do?" ”

"Concubine Du, who was sent to Huangjue Nunnery, died violently."

"Does it have anything to do with the fifth sister?"

"After the prince returned to the palace, Miss Gu often corresponded with Hongyan in Hongwen Pavilion. Concubine Du left the palace and went to Huangjue Nunnery, infected with wind and cold, after she knew, she bought the old nuns who bought vegetables and vegetables in Huangjue Nunnery, and sent some food and medicinal materials. Concubine Du summoned her to see her yesterday, and her condition worsened and she died in the evening. ”

Gu Ci quietly complained to him, "A-Qing, you are suitable for writing history." She knows nothing about this kind of subtle and righteous Spring and Autumn brushwork!

"You can bribe me."

“…… I don't do anything to be sorry for my brother! ”

Yi Qing smiled brightly, "What did you want to do to me?" ”

“…… No! ”

"Uncle Shan's trip naturally has a reason, but it is not due to the instructions of the Queen Mother, but I feel that the Queen Mother has been sick for so long, and Concubine Du has contributed a lot, so I took action directly." Yiqing interlocked her fingers, and while massaging the acupuncture points on her hands, she said eloquently, "Miss Gu Wu is not capable of doing anything, so she will hand over some specious news to the Nine Emperor Princes or Concubine Du." She had a bad reputation in Huixiang Building, and it seemed that there was a shortage of money, and after Mrs. Gu Si helped her make up for it, she banned her feet and didn't let her go around until the New Year. She worked Concubine Du in Huangjue Nunnery, perhaps wanting to get some legacy from her future mother-in-law, but unfortunately she didn't catch anything, and she was stabbed by the single family, but she was a ready-made scapegoat. ”

So now the most widely circulated version outside is that the two waste concubines were punished by the emperor Jue'an for a year of fasting and reciting Buddha because of their involvement with the illness of the queen mother and the death of the little prince; The old lady Shan personally came forward to press his younger brother to send the errant aunt to the iron pestle hermitage, she was unwell on the way, and rested at the foot of the mountain for a while, and saw Gu Wu girl coming out of the nunnery, and then saw someone asking for help to summon the news, and only after returning to the city did she know that it was Du Waste Concubine who died of illness; As for why the old nun who had received a lot of benefits from Gu Wu's hands also died, only those who had seen it that day knew, and of course the Shan family didn't know.

"Old lady Shan is not afraid of the Nine Emperor Princes...... "King Guangen has been circled, and there is a Nine Emperor Prince."

"So the emperor asked the prince to go to the Wubo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings."

"Fifth sister...... Where does so much money come from? ”

"She exaggerated the gap in the donation to Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu justifiably took out the silver that was going to be given to Mr. Gu Si to move around and made up for her."

"The result...... Not bad......"

Gu Ci sighed quietly, what is this fifth sister trying to do?

***********************

The queen mother recovered from her illness, first saw the most beloved princess, and then called her daughter to play with her grandchildren for a few days, and finally let the prince and the princess have dinner together.

On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Ci invited all his relatives to the East Palace, and the brothers naturally went to see the emperor before they could come over, and the little radish heads sent them to annoy the prince, so that he could adapt to life with a baby in advance, and then she and her mother and second sister-in-law asked about Gu Yi.

Wu Shenqiu said very implicitly, "The fifth sister's marriage is still far away, and she is a little anxious. ”

"Second sister-in-law, don't make up the ......"

She just heard that Xiao Jiu had two palace maids, and she was anxious and wanted to fight for face in front of Xiao Jiu. Changningbo's family is not exterminating the clan anyway, and the rotten boat also has three-inch nails, she thinks that it is not easy for Xiao Jiu to get out of the palace, and she will collect these rotten nails outside into her own hands, and she will be more valued by Xiao Jiu in the future. Yuyi said disdainfully.

Gu Ci didn't think that Gu Yi, who was also a crossing woman, would set her goal at such a meaningless level, striving for a ** favor and respect, it couldn't be one of the options for the two of them at all, okay, it was possible to say that she was doing this for money, but there are so many ways to make money, why bother to choose this road to get involved in a commotion?

It's just that the two people in front of them don't understand this mode of thinking very well, and when it comes to Gu Yi's behavior, they still start from the perspective of the inner house, thinking that she is acting in such a high-profile manner in order to gain a firm foothold when she enters the door in the future, even if the Nine Emperor Princes have the eldest son first, it doesn't matter, and even faintly reveals the intention of competing with the crown princess, which is also to raise her own value.

"The matter of returning to Xianglou has made her go far away from many girls, and now the people of the Baron's Mansion are not very active in doing things for her, the two big girls around her have been punished, and the six brothers and sisters look at her, and they can't afford to make any waves." Wu Shenqiu persuaded Gu to say goodbye to his heart.

Gu Ci thought for a while and asked Yuyi, "Can I invite her to ask her in person?" ”

"Don't surrender yourself, you're the crown princess!"

"Mother's ......"

In the past, Gu Yi was quite protective of her, and she also befriended everyone in the long house, I wonder if it was from the knot that Concubine Du Xian wanted the Nine Emperor Prince to marry her? You have to know the crux of the problem to solve this hidden danger.

Wu Shenqiu immediately played a round game, "Or can you call the sisters and younger siblings in the family together?" ”

Yuyi remembered that Gu Ao had vaguely persuaded herself that Ah Luan was already the crown princess and was one with the prince, and she couldn't teach her just as a little daughter, which would not only make Ah Luan lose face, but also make the prince unhappy. Then he slowed down and said, "This is also done, in addition to her and Gu Jing, others can also bring a child to your lively place." ”

"The ninth sister doesn't have any children yet?"

"Don't sleep together, where is the child?"

Fang Ju's Zhuangzi has limited interest, and will make some calligraphy and paintings to Danqing Pavilion on weekdays to sell, he likes this way since he was a child, and he has some experience, especially loves the complex flowers and birds, festive and appropriate, the sales are not bad, and the family is subsidized from time to time. He kept half of the money to buy pen and ink paints, but the other half was robbed by Gu Ying and Gu Jing. Last time, Gu Ying said that Fang Luan's mother-in-law had two layers of family and wanted to buy more little maids to help with housework, Fang Ju gave more, Gu Jing stopped doing it, and arranged green vegetables and tofu for a while. The next time Gu Jing said that he would cut new clothes for the New Year and dig more from Fang Ju, Gu Ying secretly cried that her daughter-in-law would not give pension money. Fang Ju was angry, often wandering around in the name of sketching and not going home, occasionally going back, Gu Ying also pulled him into his yard, saying that he wanted to make up for his body, and then as soon as Fang Ju left, he turned his head and counted Gu Jing without laying eggs. Coupled with the help of the fifth lady on the side, the family made a fuss in the Zhuangzi, and the tenants must go around in front of the door every day, depending on which one of the main family's troubles today, go back and talk about it.

***********************

Two days later, the crown princess of the East Palace invited her sister and sister-in-law and children to a banquet for the first time.

The sisters except for the second sister Gu Xiaosu in the west, the tenth sister Gu Xiaolian in Guangdong City, and Gu Jing, who was not invited, the rest came. The eldest sister Gu Xiaoyi has a son and a daughter, the third sister Gu Xiaowei's two sons, the fourth sister Gu Yue's eldest son, the sixth sister Gu Xiaotian and the eleventh sister Gu Xiaoxi are all pregnant women. The sisters-in-law came less, the eldest sister-in-law, the fifth sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law Ren Saiyuan were not in Beijing, the twelfth sister-in-law Ma Jiaqi had not yet come out of confinement, the fourth sister-in-law Yuan Minhe, the sixth sister-in-law Xie Ran and the seventh sister-in-law Qin Xiuyong came with a big belly, and the eighth sister-in-law Chi Yi, the ninth sister-in-law Nie, the tenth sister-in-law Wei, the eleventh sister-in-law Kong and the thirteenth sister-in-law Zhu met for the first time. Fortunately, there is Wu Shenqiu, the second sister-in-law, who is good at dancing with long sleeves on all sides, helping Gu Ci introduce them, a seven-pound little adult, under the care of chamomile and others, leading other children to play in the glass greenhouse next to the flower hall. The last time he took his younger brothers to find the prince, he was thrown in by this irresponsible uncle and played by himself for a day, but he liked the swings and rocking chairs inside, so this time he also led the brothers over with a good car.

Except for Gu Yi, all of them are married women, and the atmosphere of exchanging experiences after marriage or having a baby is warm, and there are no taboos on the topic.

Gu Ci took advantage of the change of clothes to sit in a side hall behind the flower hall, called someone to invite Gu Yi, abandoned the subordinates, and left Yiqing to serve at the door, and asked straight to the point, "What does the fifth sister want to do?" ”

Gu Yi's eyes obviously lost their previous aura, even if he was able to talk and smile with others just now, he couldn't help but show his depressed fatigue as soon as he was alone. Hearing the bright and flamboyant little sister in front of her ask such a sentence, the huge pressure she had been under during this time was punctured by a needle like a balloon, and she couldn't help but ask sharply, "What do you think I want?" People like you have everything, so naturally you can't understand others! ”

"So you want to be like me?"

Gu Yi didn't expect her to ask rhetorically without a little anger, she was speechless for a while, and then replied indignantly, "The crown princess is serious." I'm just the light of fire, how dare I compare to the glow of your sun and moon. ”

Gu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thanks to the kindness of my relatives, I have a lot, and there will be more in the future, all of which your parents, relatives, and husband can't give you." So Fifth Sister, do you want to continue to work me as the goal of this life? ”

Maybe it was this kind of chicken soup-like opening that made Gu Yi very familiar, maybe it was the lavender fragrance in the side hall that made her relax a lot, her anger and arrogance were vented at once, and she muttered to herself, "...... I'm just very jealous, you can easily get things that others can't earn with all your hard work, family background, power, fame, beauty, money, love, what don't you have? I just want to fight for a better future, is that wrong?! ”

"Family background and appearance are given by your parents, you should have no hope of surpassing me in this life. Love can only rely on your future husband and the Nine Emperors, fortunately, there is still a chance to operate. Fame is earned by yourself, didn't you do well before? As for money, I don't think it's possible for you in this life, even if you can earn three hundred taels for one hundred taels, but I'll only get ten thousand taels together, maybe your children can catch up. As for power, is that your purpose? ”

Gu Ci spoke very slowly, even if Gu Yi was in a trance, she could hear it clearly, and her face changed with her words: Yes, her foundation was 108,000 miles away from her at the beginning, this was decided at the moment of birth, no matter how unfair it was, it would be completely pointless to complain, what she wanted to change was just to return history to the original point! Yuan Nian ascended the throne as the emperor, and she was the queen!

She really wants a position above 10,000 people, and with such a premise, she can make up for the huge gap between other aspects and Gu Qi, and there is no other way.

Her eyes changed from confusion to shock, to realization, and gradually cleared, Gu Ci has been carefully observing her expression, which will confirm that she really wants to be in a high position and power, and asked in wonder, "Fifth sister, can't you be satisfied with the status of the princess?" ”

“…… The crown princess is really impressive, and it is not the same as the innocence and simplicity of the year. "The little county lord who couldn't understand the sharp edge in the past has now learned to speak.

"It's you who lost your rules......" Gu Ci sighed.

Gu Yi was a little annoyed, and he also felt a little hesitant and relieved, "Could it be that the crown princess wants to cure my crimes?" "When she calmed down again, she naturally knew that Gu Ci and the prince were not good at making moves, and they could only defend and not move against their brothers.

"I just don't get it...... Obviously there is no need to ......" Although Gu Ci realized it later, she was sure that Gu Yi's ambition should be seen by many people. It is a trivial matter for the Nine Emperors to change a princess or lose a fiancée, and it is really a trouble, except for the fourth lady, I am afraid that even Gu Xin may not feel sorry for her.

"Crown Princess, I'm just a little jealous in my heart, and I haven't done anything! What is the danger of wanting to add to the crime?! ”

“…… Are you kidding? What you've done now, or you've done nothing, it doesn't matter at all! Because your surname is Gu, as long as it has a little to do with you, it is your fault. Otherwise, why did Concubine Du have to see you before ......?"

Gu Yi froze in place, as if Gu Ci was speaking alien language, dazed and confused, not knowing how to react. What does this mean?! Another trick? Could it be that in the future, whenever someone targets the prince, they will frame her head?!

She has been currying favor with Concubine Du Xian for so long, of course, not for Yuan Nian, but because Concubine Du Xian, who was deposed as a talented person in history, can still make the eighth prince, who is known as a virtuous and humble and low-key prince, a new king for life; The day before Yuan Nianli became the crown prince, she died of illness in the deserted Huangjue Nunnery. This all shows that she has hole cards. She is confident that with her foresight and means, as long as she wins the trust of Concubine Du Xian, who was sent to Huangjue Nunnery in advance, and gets the hidden power in her hands, she will definitely be able to support Yuan Nian to ascend to the throne!

She worked so hard to communicate with a wide range of nobles and inquire about their preferences and taboos, not only to promote fame, these people were all high-ranking officials and ministers with bright careers when they were Daizong, and she needed these people to stand behind her from now on. She is the daughter of the Gu family, who is famous!

Obviously I didn't do anything wrong at every step, why did I have such a result?! She will be Yuan Nian's queen in the future, why should Concubine Du Xian calculate her?!

The sweaty Gu Yi seemed to have fallen into a nightmare, almost fainting, and he couldn't speak.

She was invited to Huangjue Nunnery and felt very secretive, she didn't meet anyone along the way, the old nun quietly took her to Concubine Du's house, they just simply greeted her, Concubine Du said 'everything will be entrusted to you in the future' and let her leave. She remembered that this was the first time she had successfully entered the Huangjue Nunnery to interview her, and that she could fully demonstrate her ability and determination, and it would not be too late to slowly win the trust of others next time. Who knew that a few steps after she stepped out of the chaimen, a group of people from Xinwubo's family appeared at the intersection in front of her like ghosts to cook tea and make tea, and a coachman also recognized the blue beside her! Then Xin Wu Bo opened her mouth to invite a drink, she denied that she wanted to leave quickly after refusing, but she saw a little nun rushing out of the nunnery, and panicked and begged Xin Wu Bo's family to send her to the palace to report the news. She felt bad at the time, and she hurried back to her car, and didn't dare to mention it to others when she returned to the house. Until she learned of the death of Concubine Du, her mother tearfully asked her what she was doing in Huangjue Nunnery, no matter how she explained it, she just said hello, and her mother didn't believe it. Later, when she received a letter from Yuan Nian questioning her, she realized that things were completely out of control.

If it weren't for the crown princess's post today, she might not have been able to go out before she got married.

But the Shan family did not say in vain, she was indeed the last person to see Concubine Du Xian alive, and if someone did anything in the name of Chang Ningbo and Concubine Du in the future, then she would be a ready-made scapegoat! At that time, even if she returns to normal history and Yuan Nian succeeds to the throne, it will not be her turn to be the queen with the black cauldron!

"I really don't know anything!"

"You still have to think about what to do next, it's best to discuss it with the fourth aunt and the fifth brother, they should be the ones who care about you the most." Gu Ci sighed, who cares if you know that a prey that has already entered the hub can appear in the right field to cooperate with the target.

“…… You are the crown princess, you can ...... If you believe me......"

Gu Ci helplessly interrupted her incoherent, "Fifth sister, neither I nor the Gu family can help you in this matter." "People are obviously coming to the East Palace, and they are already passively beaten, and it's too late to clear up, how can they take the initiative to annoy you?

Gu Yi pinched his palms fiercely and forced himself to negotiate with Gu Ci calmly, "If I have a good one, it won't be good for you, right?" The Gu family will lose face. …… Besides, I'm not without my skills, and I can do a lot more than the average person! ”

Of course, Gu Ci believed this, but she was very disgusted by her tone, "Before the fifth sister did these things, did she think about whether it was good or bad for me and the Gu family?" ”

Gu Yi, who was choked, could only lower his voice, "I used to be cautious and confused, I will compensate you ......"

"If you don't have the surname Gu, if I don't call you Fifth Sister, do you think there is still a chance to talk to me here?"

“…… How do you want me to be? Gu Yi was really flustered in her heart, the coldness rising up her back made her tremble slightly, Gu Ci's attitude was obviously standing by and watching, she was not even married at the moment, and if she wanted to break the situation, she could only rely on the person with the highest status.

Now it's Gu Ci's turn to be stupid, "I said I can't do anything, and it's not that we want to do anything to you." You didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath before you did it? ”

Gu Yi, who was poor in words, saw her helpless expression, and her face was genuinely panicked, "I was careless this time, I didn't expect ......"

This line is really exactly the same as Mrs. Fang's. Fifth sister, you are your own child, right? Or did you get the wrong script?

Gu Ci, who complained silently, shook his head, "Fifth sister, you can only walk the path you choose." "Climb even if you kneel!

Gu Yi's expression changed unpredictably for a long time, and he seemed to have made up his mind, glanced at Yiqing, and resolutely said, "Please also ask the crown princess to get rid of this person, what I said is very important, and it will only enter your ears." ”

Gu Ci looked at her in surprise, "He is someone I trust very much, don't say anything if you find it inconvenient." ”

Gu Yi hesitated for a few moments, gritted his teeth and whispered, "...... If you can help me out of trouble, I can tell you something that will happen in the future, and it will be fulfilled. ”

Yikes! It turns out that the fifth sister has crossed over from the future of this era, no wonder......

Gu Ci was a little hesitant, if he should accept it, not to mention the benefits to Yuan Yi, using this person as bait or as a mirror, he could find out what might happen to him after his death in his previous life, but using a person of the same kind completely like this made Gu Ci feel a little cold. "Fifth sister, I don't ......"

"Sister Luan, you can think about it before answering." Gu Yi suddenly felt a lot more confident, if Gu Ci rejected her, it would be more convenient to find the prince directly, I believe that the prince must not refuse the heavenly opportunity of when the emperor died and how he died. As for the future, if Yuan Nian still has a chance, she still has a marriage, if the prince succeeds in changing history, then she has such a bargaining chip, and there are countless advanced concepts of good policies for governing the country, a princess is just a princess, who will be the queen is not certain.

Gu Ci shook his head without thinking about it for too long, if Yuan Yi wanted to know, he had his own means, but he couldn't make any promises.

"I won't have a chance to regret it in the future."

"I've always been honest and different from you, so I'm not interested in your conditions."

The words were not speculative, Gu Ci served tea to the guests, Gu Yi resumed his proud posture, and followed a respectful palace maid outside the door back to the flower hall.

Then Gu Ci sent a rich gift to each family and left with the car, only Gu Yi sent some brocade on the grounds that he was unmarried, such an obvious difference in treatment made the Gu family know her attitude, and the fourth lady strictly controlled her whereabouts and correspondence, so that Gu Yi, who wanted to create a chance encounter with the prince, had nothing to do to be extremely irritable.
