Chapter 172: Entering the Palace (2)
Everyone followed the female officer and walked inside.
Ye Qinglan quietly approached Gu Xiyu's side and held her hand. As expected, Gu Xiyu's hands were really a little cold.
The wide sleeves covered the hands she and Gu Xiyu were holding tightly. In the eyes of outsiders, they just feel that the two girls are very intimate.
Ye Qinglan deliberately slowed down her pace and comforted Gu Xiyu in a low voice: "Take a deep breath, relax, don't be nervous." Believe in yourself, you will. That time I went to the Zheng Guo Mansion, you were very good, and you will definitely be able to do it today......"
A gentle whisper drilled into Gu Xiyu's ears. Gu Xiyu's expression finally relaxed a little, but the palms of her hands were still slippery and greasy, and she kept breaking out in a cold sweat.
Gu Xinian came over at some point, looked at Gu Xiyu's pale face, couldn't help but feel distressed, and said in a low voice, "Yu'er, how are you?" Can it hold up? ”
Gu Xiyu took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and squeezed Ye Qinglan's hand with a slight force in her right hand.
This is the Royal Palace, no more than anywhere else. No matter how scared you are, you can't retreat, you can't lose the face of the Dingguo Mansion, and you can't embarrass your aunt who is the queen. She's got to hold on!
Gu Xinian looked at Gu Xinian's obviously uncomfortable but pretending to be strong, and he didn't want to mention anything in his heart. Thinking of the series of events that were about to happen, the smile suddenly faded.
Through Gu Xiyu, Ye Qinglan couldn't see Gu Xinian's expression clearly. But I also felt that Gu Xinian was in a very bad mood at the moment.
Is it just because of the upcoming Shen Changan? Or is it for something else, for example, the crown prince Zhao Qi and Shen Qiuyu who may appear at the same time?
Ye Qinglan thought secretly in her heart. When I thought of another good show to watch, I was refreshed.
After passing through the Imperial Garden and bypassing the long corridor, the Queen's bedroom finally appeared in front of you. This Fengyi Hall is magnificent. The people standing in front of the hall suddenly felt small.
Ye Qinglan looked at the magnificent palace in front of her, and couldn't help but secretly marvel in her heart. As the crowd stopped.
After the palace maid went in to report, someone soon came out to greet her.
A young man of about twenty-two or three years old walked out with a high-spirited stride, and standing beside him was the crown princess Mo, who had once had a relationship. On the other side stood a beautiful and elegant young woman. It's Shen Qiuyu!
Ye Qinglan guessed the identity of this young man almost instantly.
Prince Zhao Xuan!
Compared with the handsome third prince Zhao Zhang, the crown prince Zhao Qi is not inferior at all. Although he is not as handsome and outstanding as Gu Xinian, he can also be called a great man. The eyes are blazing, and the royal children are noble, if they go out, I don't know how many women's eyes will be attracted.
Mohs aside. Shen Qiuyu stood beside the prince, but he was quite a match.
Ye Qinglan looked at the prince a few times quietly, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Xinian again.
Gu Xinian was obviously prepared for this scene of the encounter. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped forward with a casual smile, and greeted the prince politely: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The prince smiled kindly: "Xi Nian, when did you and I become so different." Just call me cousin like you used to. ”
Before?
A sneer flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes, but there was a light smile on his face: "I was ignorant before. Screaming casually, it is not in line with etiquette. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is magnanimous and doesn't care about these things with me. ”
The prince's smile paused, and his eyes were quite complicated. But it was only a blink of an eye, and he returned to normal, and smiled and exchanged a few words with Gu Xinian.
Shen Qiuyu's bright eyes glanced at Gu Xinian. Seeing that Gu Xinian ignored him, he suddenly lowered his eyes, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.
Ye Qinglan watched the play with relish. This scene in front of me met a good show. It's just bloody and vulgar.
A cousin who is in love with a brother, but he turns his eyes on a beautiful girl. After several years of deliberately avoiding each other, now they finally met in this moment.
Is the prince proud that he is the ultimate victor? Or are you lamenting the loss of your old affection, or are you secretly regretting that you shouldn't have turned against your best brother for the sake of a woman?
What about Shen Qiuyu, does she have any feelings for Gu Xinian?
and Gu Xinian. What did you do in your previous life? How would you feel when you saw the prince and Shen Qiuyu at this time?
Ye Qinglan secretly noticed the change in everyone's expressions. I kept speculating in my heart.
After a short greeting, everyone entered the Fengyi Hall together.
Ye Qinglan hung her head slightly, looking well-behaved and disciplined. In fact, he had already glanced around the main hall from the corner of his eye. Sure enough, it is worthy of being the place where the queen lives, and this main hall alone is luxurious and magnificent. From a visual point of view, even a few dozen people standing on the station will not appear crowded.
Thinking about it, this is inevitable, as the queen in charge of the six palaces, there are a lot of concubines who come to ask for peace every day, and the main hall of the Fengyi Palace must naturally be spacious and majestic.
The woman sitting in the main hall upright, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, graceful and luxurious, and with outstanding temperament, is naturally Queen Gu. The Gu family was born with good looks, and this Queen Gu was no exception. The willow eyebrows are slender, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, and although there are fine lines at the corners of the eyes, they do not look old at all, but show the charm of a mature woman.
Taking a closer look, Gu Xiyu's appearance is somewhat similar to Queen Gu.
When Empress Gu saw everyone in the Dingguo Mansion, she was both happy and excited. But the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be spent, so he can only sit on the chair and wait for everyone to give him a salute one by one.
Ye Qinglan remembered the court etiquette taught by Mama Rong, and bowed down with Gu Xiyu. Although Gu Xiyu was cramped and uneasy, nothing went wrong with her. It's just that when I got up, my body shook slightly.
It didn't matter for a moment, Mrs. Zheng's nervous face turned white. Gu Xinian also frowned slightly.
In front of everyone's eyes, Ye Qinglan couldn't help if she wanted to, so she could only secretly pray that Gu Xiyu would not drop the chain at this critical time. Probably because Gu Xiyu heard the prayer in her heart, and after getting up, she stood quietly to the side and did not make a mistake.
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Queen Gu was busy ordering people to give a seat. Then he gossiped with Sun and others.
After a while, Queen Gu looked at Gu Xinian with a smile again: "Xinian, I haven't seen you walk around the palace in the past two years." ”
Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "I am lazy by nature, I am afraid that walking around the palace will cause trouble for the queen." "It's just nonsense. He and the crown prince have been mixed together since childhood, and they have been in and out of the palace many times. When have you ever thought about this? obviously didn't want to see the prince, let alone Shen Qiuyu, so he deliberately distanced himself!
Empress Gu knew his knot, and couldn't help but glance at Shen Qiuyu on the side of the prince, and snorted softly in her heart. Disaster in disguise! If it weren't for this woman, Xi Nian wouldn't have had such a quarrel with Qi'er......
Shen Qiuyu noticed Queen Gu's two slightly cold eyes, her body trembled slightly, and she unconsciously lowered her head.
Seeing Shen Qiuyu's pitiful appearance, the prince suddenly felt pity in his heart, and he didn't shy away from everyone, and asked in a low voice, "Yu'er, do you want to rest for a while?" ”
Without waiting for Shen Qiuyu to respond, Queen Gu said lightly: "If you feel unwell, it's better to retreat." ”
As soon as Empress Gu said this, Shen Qiuyu couldn't retreat. Although he was aggrieved in his heart, he didn't dare to reveal half of it, so he saluted respectfully and retreated.
Before leaving, Shen Qiuyu quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Xinian.
Coincidentally, Gu Xinian also looked over. The gaze of the two was a short touch in the air, one was unfathomable, and the other was trembling. But their faces were as usual, like two strangers who didn't know each other at all, and they quickly looked away.
As soon as Shen Qiuyu left, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly relaxed a lot.
Empress Gu smiled at Zheng Hong and said, "Big brother, it's always not good for Xi Nian to be so lazy and spend his life. Taking advantage of today's good day, I'll say a few kind words for him in front of the emperor later, and find an errand for him! Although it was a consultative tone, it was very certain. It seems that Gu Hong will not refuse.
Sure enough, Gu Hong immediately smiled and said, "This is naturally a good thing......
"Father," Gu Xinian's voice was neither high nor low, but he happened to interrupt Gu Hong: "Today is my aunt's birthday, and the gift we brought hasn't been presented yet!" ”
Gu Hong knew that he was changing the topic, so he could only cooperate helplessly. Otherwise, with Gu Xinian's temperament, if there are any unpleasant words in it, it will be difficult to end.
Queen Gu glanced at Gu Xinian, as if she wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything.
On such an occasion, Ye Qinglan didn't have a chance to intervene at all, but she was also very leisurely, just watch the play leisurely. It would be nice to be able to wrap melon seeds or popcorn at this time!
It's just that Gu Xiyu's condition is really worrying. Even with her face lowered, you could see that her face was very pale.
The rules in the palace are very strict, and they must not whisper to each other as they usually do. Ye Qinglan had no other way but to move her steps quietly and try to get closer to Gu Xiyu. Then he quietly pulled Gu Xiyu's sleeve.
Gu Xiyu raised her eyes, her eyes full of panic.
Ye Qinglan was very distressed, but it was inconvenient to say words of comfort. He could only look at Gu Xiyu with a firm and gentle gaze. Her eyes were bright and warm, as if she could speak, quietly soothing Gu Xiyu's nervousness.
Gu Xiyu took a deep breath hard, exhaled, and then nodded slightly. Suggest that you can hold on.
Ye Qinglan saw that Gu Xiyu's feelings were very tense and could burst out at any time. If it was like usual, she could have quietly pulled Gu Xiyu aside for psychological counseling. But now that so many pairs of eyes are watching, she doesn't even have a chance to talk to Gu Xiyu quietly, and there is nothing she can do about worrying or worrying. I can only secretly pray that the idle talk will end soon, and give me some intermission time or something.
As it turned out, this was simply a luxury-
