Chapter 568: Battle
These ten aunts all coincidentally worried in their hearts - is it that the fourth prince is about to accept this person as a concubine?
The four imperial concubines saw their thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "This Miss Guo was invited by me, and she will live in the Zhongwang Mansion for a while from today onwards." ”
The faces of the ten aunts changed again.
Everyone couldn't help but speculate about the intention of the four imperial concubines' move.
With the character of the fourth imperial concubine, she will definitely not invite Guo Yijie to play for no reason.
Therefore, the hearts of these ten aunts are somewhat apprehensive.
But no one dared to say anything, only looked at Guo Yijie politely.
But there is a pickiness in his eyes.
"Miss Guo is the niece of Su Shangshu's insider, and her family lives in Fengyang County, and her uncle is Feng Zhixiang, the county magistrate of Fengyang County...... Miss Guo is proficient in piano skills, good poetry and writing......" The fourth imperial concubine introduced to the ten aunts.
The expressions on the faces of the ten aunts became more and more unnatural.
When the four imperial concubines saw their looks, their hearts were even happier, and a smile filled their faces.
The fifth aunt, Xiao Lingshu, sneered in her heart, and quietly came to Guo Yijie's side and said, "I don't seem to have seen Miss Guo come here before, I don't know if Miss Guo has a relationship with Zhongwangfu before?" ”
The fourth imperial concubine snorted coldly and said lightly: "Fifth aunt, she is a distinguished guest I invited, and the origin of her coming is not your turn." ”
Xiao Lingshu smiled and said, "I'm just curious, presumably my sister also knows that our Zhongwang Mansion never leaves outsiders to stay overnight, right?" ”
The corners of the Fourth Imperial Concubine's mouth trembled, and her voice seemed to come out of her teeth: "Are you doubting Miss Guo's identity and motives?" ”
Xiao Lingshu also replied without showing weakness: "Don't dare." It's just for the safety of our Zhongwang Mansion that we have this question. ”
The Fourth Imperial Concubine sneered and said: "If you talk about the safety responsibility of this mansion, my responsibility in this family is much greater than yours, since I dare to invite her to come, I will definitely be responsible for all the consequences arising from this, where is your turn to worry?" ”
Xiao Lingshu smiled lightly: "Since my sister is even willing to shoulder the responsibility, then where do I, as a sister, dare to say anything about this?" But there is one thing that my sister still has to say - now that there are guests, my sister should not worry about the same as her sisters, so as not to lose the face of the Zhongwang Mansion and the Four Emperors. ”
When the fourth imperial concubine heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows, and she looked at Xiao Lingshu coldly and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Xiao Lingshu replied unhurriedly: "I just want to remind my sister to pay attention to her words and deeds, after all, my sister is a royal concubine." Words and deeds should behave in accordance with who you are. ”
Someone in the crowd burst out laughing lowly.
Some of them don't like Xiao Lingshu either. But compared to Xiao Lingshu, they didn't like the four imperial concubines even more, so they felt particularly relieved when they saw the four imperial concubines being slapped in the face.
Guo Yijie immediately felt this tense atmosphere, and hurriedly smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone. The little woman was just an insignificant guest. I shouldn't have left your private affairs alone. But today I suddenly have a few words I want to tell you, if there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me! ”
The eyes of the four imperial concubines and the ten aunts looked at Guo Yijie in unison.
"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it." The fourth imperial concubine said.
"The Analects of Confucius says, 'Harmony is precious'. If a country can be united, the enemy will not dare to bully easily, and if everyone in a family can live in harmony, the family can prosper. Guo Yijie said softly.
Everyone's expressions immediately softened.
After a while, Xiao Lingshu clapped her hands and said, "People who read more are different!" Then he turned to the other aunts and said, "In the future, we must learn more from others." ”
Several of the ten aunts nodded their heads.
Xiao Lingshu is clearly trying to win people's hearts and embarrass me. The fourth imperial concubine secretly thought.
The fourth imperial concubine didn't want Guo Yijie and Xiao Lingshu to have too close contact, so she took Guo Yijie's hand and said, "Are you thirsty?" Let's go back to the house for tea. ”
After that, he picked up Guo Yijie and walked to her room.
Guo Yijie hurriedly turned around and blessed the other aunts, and then quickly followed the four imperial concubines.
Green Lotus also hurried to follow.
The Zhongwang Mansion covers an area of more than 900 meters, so the four imperial concubines took Guo Yijie to turn left and right several times before coming to the place where the four imperial concubines feasted.
Entering the banquet hall, the four imperial concubines immediately pulled Guo Yijie to sit down.
"What kind of people are these ten aunts, you must have a preliminary understanding just now, right?" The fourth imperial concubine asked Guo Yijie.
"I don't dare to understand." Guo Yijie said modestly.
"They are idle all day and have nothing to do, so they think about how to do it against me." The fourth imperial concubine said mockingly.
Guo Yijie only smiled silently.
She thinks it's better not to express your opinion lightly on this kind of thing.
"What would you do if you were me?" The fourth imperial concubine asked Guo Yijie.
"I'm afraid I'm even angrier than you." Guo Yijie hurriedly replied.
The fourth imperial concubine was quite satisfied with her answer, so she smiled at Guo Yijie and nodded.
Guo Yijie picked up the tea and drank it.
As soon as she finished drinking a glass, Green Lotus came up to her and added a cup to her.
The four imperial concubines then looked at the green lotus.
Green Lotus was busy pretending to pour tea and didn't raise his eyes to look at her.
"Miss Guo, your maid is the same age as you, right?" The fourth imperial concubine asked.
Guo Yijie was stunned.
It stands to reason that Green Lotus should not speak at this time, but Green Lotus was afraid that Guo Yijie would not be able to answer, so he hurriedly replied: "The slave maid is one year older than Miss." ”
Guo Yijie nodded approvingly at Green Lotus.
"Let's go, I'll take you to your lodgings." The fourth imperial concubine said with a smile.
Guo Yijie followed the four imperial concubines to Xiangmei Building.
Xiangmei Lou is built in the northwest corner of Zhongwang's Mansion, it is a three-storey small attic, each floor is set up like a woman's boudoir, and there is a small roof on the top of the attic, which is convenient for people who live here to come up to watch the stars or look into the distance.
"Before you came, I was thinking about where to live for you, and I compared it, and finally I thought it was the best place for you." The fourth imperial concubine took Guo Yijie's hand and said as she walked.
"There's the princess Lao who bothered!" Guo Yijie said busily.
"Do you like it here?" The fourth imperial concubine asked again.
"I love it!"
"That's good, then we can go to the rooftop in the evening to drink tea and chat." The fourth imperial concubine said with a smile.
As the imperial concubine, the four imperial concubines spend every day drinking tea, visiting the garden and chatting.
This is a way of life that Guo Yijie can't agree with, but she tries her best to pretend to be very agreeable.
Xiao Lingshu also went back to her room shortly after the fourth imperial concubine pulled Guo Yijie away.
"Go and help me get the other nine aunts." Xiao Lingshu said to her personal maid.
"The eldest aunt and the third aunt don't interact with you on weekdays, do you want to call them too?" The personal maid asked puzzled.
"Yes." Xiao Lingshu replied.
The maid didn't know what medicine was sold in Xiao Lingshu's gourd, but she didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly walked out. (To be continued.) )
