This is a clash of words, a battlefield where there is no visible sword and sword!

Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Back to the queen's mother, the people's daughter guessed that it was probably the queen's mother who was curious about the people's daughter, so she specially summoned the people's daughter into the palace." ”

…… Sure enough, it's a clever girl! Such an answer is both ingenious and witty. It implies that she knows her intentions, but she can't find any fault!

Empress Gu hated stupid and cowardly women the most in her life, and what she admired was a smart and clever girl like Ye Qinglan. After hearing this answer, the corners of her lips were slightly raised: "Sure enough, she is a smart girl." You're right, Hongu is really curious about you. That's why I'm calling you to the palace today. ”

Ye Qinglan replied respectfully: "Thank you for the grace of the queen, I hope that the people will not disappoint the queen." ”

Empress Gu smiled quietly. With just a few words, of course, you can't see a person's temperament. What is this Ye Qinglan, you have to observe carefully before you can draw conclusions.

The female officer standing on the side was secretly admiring. has been serving Queen Gu for many years, and no one knows Queen Gu's temper better than her. If Empress Gu is very kind, it is not necessarily a good thing. The more picky he is, the more it shows that this person has fallen into Queen Gu's eyes. So what follows must be a variety of verbal temptations.

As expected, Queen Gu really began to speak again: "I heard that you and Sister Yu are best friends. Sister Yu'er has been withdrawn and different from ordinary people since she was a child, and she never wants to see the living. But he looks at you differently everywhere, what is the reason for this? In the fluttering words, there was clearly some suspicion.

Ye Qinglan secretly felt a pang in her heart, but her mouth was like a fluent answer: "Probably because Cousin Xiyu and the folk girl have a fate." So it hit it off at first sight. ”

Empress Gu raised her eyebrows with a smile, her eyes deep. Such an expression is very similar to Gu Xinian: "Oh? Is it really that simple? Why did you and her hit it off at first sight? ”

Ye Qinglan boldly raised her eyes and glanced at Queen Gu: "This question has also been thought about several times. Maybe it's because the folk girl is really good to Cousin Xiyu, so she will sincerely accept the folk girl. If you want to change someone else's sincerity. Of course, you can only exchange it with your own sincerity! ”

What a wonderful answer! The female officer secretly praised in her heart again.

Queen Gu pressed step by step: "You are close to Sister Yu'er, is there really no other reason?" "Or under the pretext of approaching Gu Xiyu, the real target is actually Gu Xinian?

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle and tense. This subtle change can probably only be experienced by Ye Qinglan, who is in it.

has foreshadowed so much, in fact, this is what Queen Gu really wants to ask. She has always been high-minded, and she is used to speculating on the behavior of others with a utilitarian heart, so Queen Gu definitely does not believe that Ye Qinglan is close to Gu Xiyu. I just want to be friends with Gu Xiyu!

Ye Qinglan responded calmly: "Actually, the folk girl was close to Cousin Xiyu at that time, and she was indeed a little selfish. ”

A sneering smile flashed in Queen Gu's eyes, but before the smile dissipated, she heard Ye Qinglan say steadily: "Cousin Xiyu has a gentle temperament and a kind heart, but because she is timid and cowardly, she doesn't dare to approach the crowd. After a long time, he has a reputation for being withdrawn. The folk girl felt sorry from the bottom of her heart, so she tried her best to get close to Cousin Xiyu. I hope to explain her more and make her more lively and cheerful. This is the little selfishness of the people's daughter, which makes the queen smile. ”

Empress Gu was dumbfounded.

If it weren't for the wrong timing and occasion, the female officer would have wanted to cheer for Ye Qinglan. The answer was full of emotion. It's hard to find anything wrong.

Empress Gu can't either. Even if she has doubts in her heart, she can't tear her face and ask endlessly! Therefore, Empress Gu pondered for a moment and said, "It's rare that you have this heart. It really touched Hongu. I heard that you have lived in the Dingguo Mansion for a long time. is not only like a sister to Yu'er. I still get along well with Xi Nian, I don't know if it's or not? ”

…… Such a side-knock side knock. Naturally, it is not a problem for Ye Qinglan. I saw her smile unhurriedly: "Back to the queen mother, it's true." ”

Anyway, they all know each other, and there are some things that don't need to be hidden, so as not to make Queen Gu feel disdainful.

Queen Gu didn't expect her to have such guts, and she actually admitted to her face that she had been in love with Gu Xi for a long time. The original planned step-by-step questioning is no longer needed, and I don't know how to continue for a while.

The side hall was quiet again.

Queen Gu looked at Ye Qinglan fixedly, this time, her gaze was less casual and more cautious. She and Gu Xinian had already made an agreement in private, as long as the plan was to stabilize the third prince, she would personally marry him and Ye Qinglan.

can make Gu Xinian, who is arrogant and arrogant, fall in love with her, Ye Qinglan naturally has something extraordinary. Therefore, Empress Gu was mentally prepared before being summoned. But at this moment, she realized that she still underestimated Ye Qinglan.

This Ye Qinglan is outstanding, intelligent, quick-witted, responsive, bold and careful, in addition to her humble status, she is excellent everywhere. can barely be worthy of Gu Xinian......

A series of thoughts flashed through Empress Gu's mind, but her tone became more and more cold: "A woman who has not yet decided to marry, but she is too close to a man. If this thing gets out, have you thought about the consequences? ”

In the side hall, only the female officials were waiting on the side, and all the palace maids had already been dismissed. Queen Gu didn't have many scruples when she spoke, and even had a bit of aggressive momentum.

After being the Sixth Palace, Queen Gu's aura was really not covered, it had been collected before, but now it was all emanated, and the temperature in the side hall dropped by a few degrees.

Under such coercion, Ye Qinglan did not show any panic, and still responded respectfully: "The people's daughter and Cousin Gu have always been affectionate and polite, and they have never exceeded the rules. Even if someone deliberately stirs up trouble and spreads gossip, the people's daughter is worthy of it. "That's the standard lie, and the face is not red.

The two of them have done a lot of things in private, hugging, kissing and touching, but now they look innocent and righteous. There are only Ye Qinglan who can do this in the whole world, except for Gu Xinian.

Queen Gu was also frightened, and her face eased a lot: "If it is out of affection and courtesy, then the palace will be relieved." ”

As for things like marriage, they still know each other, but no one will break through this layer.

Ye Qinglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that she passed the first level of the first level today. I just don't know what else Queen Gu has to do......

Empress Gu's voice rang out: "I have long heard that you are a smart and clever girl, and when I saw you today, it was indeed so." The palace likes it very much, come to people, and see it. ”

At the sound of the order, two palace maids walked in with two brocade boxes.

The two maidens placed the brocade box on the table and opened it. In an instant, the entire side hall lit up.

The two brocade boxes were full of jewelry, each of which was expensive and exquisite, including precious bracelets of all kinds of precious stones, crystal clear jade bracelets, and delicate hairpins, which were neatly arranged together, making people dazzled.

Ye Qinglan can be regarded as having some vision now, and after a little glance, she knows that the jewelry in these two brocade boxes is a rare treasure. It's not easy to get a single piece on weekdays, but now that so many of them are put together at once, even if a woman with good concentration is, it is inevitable that she will meet Hunting Heart.

It's a woman's nature to love jewelry. Ye Qinglan didn't get to that point, so she couldn't help but take a look at it. But I secretly wondered in my heart, should Queen Gu really want to give her so many jewelry!

Sure enough, I heard Queen Gu say slowly: "These jewelry, you can choose two of them at will, and they will be rewarded by this palace." ”

…… So, is this level actually a test of her eyesight and heart?

Ye Qinglan respectfully thanked her: "Thank you for the reward." ”

This level seems simple, but it is by no means easy. First of all, you have to have an excellent eyesight to see which jewelry is more expensive and which is slightly inferior. Secondly, you have to have extraordinary concentration to pick out a slightly inferior one in a pile of dazzling luxury jewelry. not only rounded Queen Gu's face, but also did not let Queen Gu really break the bank.

When it comes to figuring out and grasping people's hearts, Ye Qinglan claims to be the second, and no one dares to say the first. In just a few moments, she had already seen through Empress Gu's intentions and quickly came up with a countermeasure.

Then, naturally, it's time for a show.

Ye Qinglan didn't dare to be careless, and after a few careful glances, she had an idea. I chose a pair of beautifully crafted agate earrings, and then I chose a hairpin sparkled with sparkling gemstones. Both pieces of jewelry are of good workmanship, but they are obviously slightly inferior to the others.

Of course, this so-called inferiority is also relative. In fact, those pair of agate earrings are as small as water droplets, as red as rouge, delicate and small. The hairpin inlaid with several colored gemstones is brilliant and very eye-catching and beautiful. It is most suitable for young girls.

After Ye Qinglan made a selection, she thanked her again: "Thank you for the queen's generous gift, the people's daughter has been selected." ”

Queen Gu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "Put it on now!" ”

Looking at Queen Gu's expression, it was obvious that she had passed this hurdle safely. Ye Qinglan responded with a smile. The lady came over with a smile and put on hairpins and earrings for Ye Qinglan.

Delicate jewellery will naturally add to people's brilliance. After Ye Qinglan put on the hairpin and earrings, she looked more and more radiant.

The female officer secretly praised in her heart. Sure enough, she is a rare beauty, and she is not much better than Concubine Shen, who has an elegant and beautiful temperament.

At this moment, a palace maid came in to report: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gu Shilang are here and are waiting outside the palace." (To be continued......)
