Chapter 165: Surprised
The tone was so natural and real, even Ye Qinglan herself almost believed this sentence.
In fact, if it weren't for Gu Xiyu, she wouldn't want to go.
Gu Xiyu's situation is obvious, and even relatives and friends refuse to see her on weekdays. If you really enter the palace and meet a lot of strangers, you are likely to lose your temper in public. Just like when I was a guest at the British Mansion, I was accidentally touched by Zheng Min and screamed. It was embarrassing for everyone.
The palace is no better than other places, if such a thing happens, it will not only lose the people of the Dingguo Mansion, but also make Queen Gu lose face. Therefore, on that day, Gu Xiyu must show the demeanor that the daughter of the prince's mansion should have.
This is an almost impossible challenge for Gu Xiyu.
If it was placed in normal times, Mrs. Zheng would definitely resolutely leave Gu Xiyu in the mansion after some consideration, and not let her follow her into the palace. But this time it was Queen Gu's birthday, and as soon as the emperor's golden mouth was opened, everyone in the Dingguo Mansion was specially allowed to enter the palace to congratulate Queen Gu on her birthday. Gu Xiyu, as the daughter of the long house, is obviously unreasonable not to show up. Therefore, Mrs. Zheng could only bite the bullet and prepare to take Gu Xiyu into the palace.
What Mrs. Zheng can think of, Gu Xinian can naturally think of.
Therefore, Gu Xinian was willing to take the initiative to bow her head and invite her to the Dingguo Mansion, not only to make Gu Xiyu happy, but also to enter the palace half a month later. With her by Gu Xiyu's side, the possibility of Gu Xiyu making a mistake will be greatly reduced......
Gu Xinian obviously expected that he would be soft-hearted when he saw Gu Xiyu, so he deliberately didn't say anything and tricked her into the house first. Hmph, that's cunning! It's too much! It's so damning!
As soon as Ye Qinglan thought of Gu Xinian, she reflexively felt itchy teeth. It's a pity that the shape is stronger than people, and at present, it seems that no matter what aspect, she is at a disadvantage. Come up with this breath. It's better to look for opportunities slowly in the future.
Gu Xiyu saw Ye Qinglan's words, and finally believed her words. I began to worry about learning the rules again: "I have to learn the rules for half a month!" ”
When Ye Qinglan thought of the name Mama Rong, she had the urge to laugh again. Back then, Aunt Qiong Yao's "Huanzhu Gege" was popular all over the country, Zi Ziwei was well known, and the Rong Mama with a smirk on her face left a deep impression on people. In the later palace fighting dramas, such a role was almost indispensable.
I don't know what this Mama Rong will look like when I am about to meet......
The mystery was soon revealed. At midnight the next morning, the carriage from the palace arrived.
Although Mama Rong is only a female official in the palace, she represents Queen Gu. Naturally, the people of the Dingguo Mansion cannot be lazy. Mrs. Zheng personally greeted her at the door, and then led Mama Rong to Shunyi Hall to meet the Sun family from the Dingguo Mansion.
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu were naturally also present.
When the middle-aged woman with an elegant temperament walked in slowly, Ye Qinglan was stunned. No matter what she had envisioned before. I never imagined that Mama Rong would look like this.
In terms of age, this Mama Rong is not young, at least in her forties. But it is very well maintained, and it looks like he is only thirty years old. The face is lightly powdered and the makeup looks impeccable. The gestures reveal a kind of reserved elegance, the clothes are not very luxurious, but they are dignified and decent. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a shallow smile hung on his face. Even if he stands among the noble ladies, he is not inferior at all.
Such a talent is actually just a nurturing grandmother in the palace!!
The popular costume drama is really unreliable. Try to find some crooked melons and cracked dates, with a fierce face, and an older woman who specializes in playing this and that grandma. Ye Qinglan complained silently in her heart. Look at this Rong Mama. This appearance, this temperament, this conversation, is impeccable, almost perfect!
Sun obviously knew this Mama Rong, and said with a smile: "The next half month will be hard for you." ”
Mama Rong looked at the queen's mother. Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly smiled and bowed: "Please rest assured, old lady." The slave must do his best to teach Miss Gu the rules in the palace. ”
Mrs. Zheng coughed and interjected with a smile: "At that time, Sister Lan will also enter the palace with Yu'er." Please also ask Mama Rong to take a lot of trouble and teach together. ”
Sister Lan? Mama Rong was stunned. When did such a young lady come out of the Dingguo Mansion again?
Mama Rong quietly glanced at the two girls beside Mrs. Zheng.
One of them, with very fair skin. Even slightly sickly pale, but a pair of eyes are dark and bright. Like a deep pool, the beauty is amazing. On closer inspection, his appearance is faintly similar to Gu Xinian. This is naturally the most noble lady in the Dingguo Mansion, and she is also the niece of Queen Gu, Gu Xiyu.
Another girl, slightly younger, with willow eyebrows and curved eyes, and soft red lips raised a soothing arc. Although it is not as stunning as Gu Xiyu at a glance, it is very attractive. Even with Mama Rong's very critical eyes, I have to admit that this girl is a rare beauty embryo.
It seems that this girl is Sister Lan in Mrs. Zheng's mouth. It's just that I don't know what the identity of this girl is, but she is standing by Gu Xiyu's side so intimately......
Mrs. Zheng introduced with a smile: "Sister Lan is the daughter of the third room of Changyuan Bofu, and she is also Yu'er's cousin. ”
Ye Qinglan took two steps forward very obediently and curtsied: "Qinglan has seen Mama Rong." "Even if Mama Rong is a slave, she is also the queen's minion. Even if she is a noble lady with a fate, she is polite when she sees the nurturing grandmother beside the queen. What's more, she is such a mere concubine, even if she makes a salute, it is not a grievance.
Rong Mama's face softened, and she smiled hurriedly: "Miss Cousin, please excuse yourself and torture the slave." As soon as Changyuan Bofu was mentioned, Mama Rong naturally knew Ye Qinglan's identity.
It's just a young lady who is not related by blood, and she can't beat the eight poles, how can she appear in the Dingguo Mansion? Listening to Mrs. Zheng's tone, she also planned to take her into the palace with her. What's the mystery of this?
Mama Rong is old and sophisticated, so she naturally won't ask casually. It's just that in the next time, he quietly paid attention to Ye Qinglan's every move.
With this attention, Mama Rong suddenly noticed something unusual.
Ye Qinglan had been standing beside Gu Xiyu, listening attentively to everyone's words, rarely interjecting. Gu Xiyu didn't say a word, and occasionally when someone mentioned her, she looked a little cramped and nervous, and then unconsciously glanced at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan would smile at Gu Xiyu when everyone was not paying attention, her eyes were full of encouragement and gentleness. Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiyu's nervous feelings calmed down slightly.
Mama Rong looked at it in her eyes, and her heart moved secretly.
Gu Xiyu, the only concubine of the Dingguo Mansion, has a different temperament from ordinary people, and she has also heard of it. When I saw it today, it was almost the same as the rumor, and I was afraid when I saw the living. This kind of temperament is really inappropriate in the palace. No wonder the queen would send herself to teach the rules of the palace.
This Miss Cousin of Changyuan Bofu also has some outstanding features. No wonder Mrs. Zheng would let her accompany Gu Xiyu into the palace......
Mrs. Zheng is also a character with raised eyebrows, and when she saw Mama Rong glancing at the two girls from time to time, she took the initiative to say: "Yu'er has been very introverted since she was a child, and she doesn't like occasions when there are many people. Therefore, I have not brought her into the palace in the past few years. This time the queen's birthday, thanks to the emperor's grace, we can enter the palace to celebrate the queen's birthday, which is really a happy event. It's just that I want to ask Mama Rong to bother a lot, and be sure to teach Yu'er all the rules in the palace, so as not to make her rude. ”
In the next half month, Mama Rong will get along with Gu Xiyu day and night, and Gu Xiyu's abnormality is impossible to hide from the shrewd Mama Rong. It's better to tell it now.
Mama Rong laughed and said, "Madame doesn't have to be so polite, this is a matter for slaves and maids." But I secretly began to have a headache in my heart.
There are many and trivial rules in the palace, even if it is a smart and clever girl, she may not be able to memorize all the rules in just half a month. Gu Xiyu looks like this again, I really don't know if I can complete the task assigned by the queen mother in the past half a month.
At noon that day, Sun left everyone to have lunch at Shunyi Hall.
Mama Rong's identity is really embarrassing, so naturally she can't sit at the same table with Sun and others. But if you let the housekeeper's mother attend to accompany her, it will be too contemptuous. Mrs. Zheng thought about it, but she couldn't think of a suitable person to accompany her, so she couldn't help but hesitate.
Ye Qinglan took the initiative to invite Ying, and said with a smile: "If my aunt doesn't think I'm young and knowledgeable, let me accompany Mama Rong!" ”
It seems that she is the most suitable. Although the identity is not high, it is good that he is the master, so he will not neglect Mama Rong. For her, it didn't matter who she sat with for dinner anyway. Just take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize yourself with Mama Rong's temperament.
Mrs. Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response, but her good impression of Ye Qinglan in her heart was another layer.
Sure enough, it's a clever girl!
Seeing this, Gu Xiyu immediately said, "I'll go too." ”
Mrs. Zheng glared at her with a smile and a smile, but in front of Ye Qinglan, she was not good. You can't just say "It's really good to accompany a grandmother in the palace to eat with you as you"!
Ye Qinglan smiled and relieved Mrs. Zheng: "Cousin Xiyu, I'll just go, you still accompany your aunt!" ”
Mrs. Zheng's thoughts, she could guess with her eyes closed. Fortunately, she is open-minded and has no inferiority complex or anything like that. Dignity is such a thing, neither as a meal nor as a quilt. Especially in her embarrassing situation at the moment, talking about dignity is simply a joke.
As long as we can better "unite" Mrs. Zheng, this little thing is really nothing.
Gu Xiyu was extremely stubborn: "I want to be with you." ”
Once Gu Xiyu showed this kind of expression, it meant that no one could persuade her.
