Gu Qingwan saw at a glance the big ship parked next to the painting boat of King Rui's Mansion, the hull of the ship was surrounded by a gauze curtain, and the scene inside was not visible from the outside.

Lifting the gauze curtain and entering, Gu Qingwan understood why Huai Wangfu brought so many guards with him this time. Sitting next to Princess Huai, the little girl who was a little shy in the description was not the county lord of Wanhua?

Gu Qingwan remembered that when the first prince was still there, Empress Chen's attitude towards this Wanhua county lord was only faint. The crown prince died, the crown princess was martyred, and the weight of the princess of Wanhua in Queen Chen's heart became heavy overnight. But because of this incident, the originally lively personality suddenly fell silent.

It's just that Gu Qingwan only saw the lord of Wanhua once when she entered the palace on the second day of the wedding, and the rest were mentioned by the eldest lady.

Princess Huai saw Gu Qingwan at a glance, and before Gu Qingwan could salute, she stepped forward to help her: "What were we polite before, I heard Bin'er say yesterday that the boats of the Rui Wangfu also entered the lake, so I knew that you were also going to come to see the excitement today [I plan to come with you this morning, but I went out late, and it is not good to drag you down.] ”

Gu Qingwan followed up with a few more kind words, and her eyes looked at the girl standing beside Princess Huai. Although I was a little familiar, I couldn't remember who it was.

"I've seen Princess Rui." The girl had a smile on her face, and her attitude was quite respectful.

Princess Huai took Gu Qingwan's hand and sat down, and then introduced: "This is the girl of the Qiao family, Xingsi, and her name is Sixiang." ”

Gu Qingwan was a little surprised, wasn't this girl the fourth girl of the Qiao family who had met in Princess Huihe's Mansion that day and had a personal relationship with Gu Qingyan? In Gu Qingwan's impression, this Qiao Fourth Girl thinks very highly of herself, and she has been influenced by Gu Qingyan, and she has never looked at Gu Third Girl.

Just now, she saluted respectfully, and she didn't blame Gu Qingwan for not matching her name for a while.

"It turned out to be the fourth girl of the Qiao family. No wonder there is some good-natured face. She looked at Princess Huai and smiled, "I remember that Miss Qiao and my fifth sister have a very good personal relationship, and they often came to our mansion as a guest in the past two years. ”

Qiao Sixiang's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face became a little heavier.

Princess Huai nodded: "It's all my own family∷ You don't need to be too polite here." After that, she glanced out again, and whispered to the spring equinox beside her, "Why haven't Prince Rui and the prince come in yet, you go out and take a look, and then let the head of the back bring a few plates of the county lord's favorite snacks."

The county lord of Wanhua, who was bowing his head next to him, raised his head blankly when he heard Princess Huai mention himself, and his eyes happened to meet Gu Qingwan. He lowered his head in a panic.

Only then did Princess Huai realize that she had ignored the county lord Wanhua, so she said softly: "Wanhua, this is your fifth imperial aunt, you talk to her." ”

The county lord of Wanhua secretly glanced at Gu Qingwan, stood up and bent his knees: "I've seen the Fifth Emperor Aunt." After Gu Qingwan nodded, she sat down again and uncomfortably stretched the wrinkled skirt on her knees.

Gu Qingwan touched the head of the county lord of Wanhua, leaned over to the county lord of Wanhua, and said softly: "I am the same as your Fifth Emperor Uncle." Is it okay to call you 'Dan'er'? ”

The name of the county lord of Wanhua is "Zheng Dan", but after Emperor Yufeng named her the county lord and gave her the name "Wanhua", even Queen Chen only called her "Wanhua". Everyone naturally followed Queen Chen's habit of calling them.

The county lord of Wanhua looked at Gu Qingwan with dark eyes for a while, then nodded and said yes, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Aunt Fifth Emperor, do you know where the Fifth Emperor Uncle has gone?" ”

"He's talking to the prince outside, and he'll come in later." After that, he said, "Today, the imperial aunt didn't expect Dan'er to leave the palace, and there is nothing worth it to meet in a hurry. Is it okay for the royal aunt to give it to you? ”

Lord Wanhua laughed "hehe", pointed to Gu Qingwan's head and said, "I like that flower, if the imperial aunt really wants to give it, give it to me." ”

Only then did Gu Qingwan realize that she was referring to the many pomegranate flowers that Zheng Rui had pinned to her this morning, and she was a little embarrassed for a while: "This pomegranate flower is very ordinary, and ordinary people are all over the courtyard." The royal aunt's Yingluo ring is very delicate, much more beautiful than pomegranate flowers. ”

Although this is not the first time she has seen the lord of Wanhua, but the first time she is a bride, and she has seen Wanhua from afar, so this gift is naturally not given. If it is known that the meeting gift she gave to the lord of Wanhua is a pomegranate flower, it will really be poked in the backbone and said that Princess Rui is not pulling out a hair.

Besides, this flower was personally put up by Zheng Rui, Zheng Rui has a straight temperament, and loves to make trouble in secret, if he sees this flower changing hands and wearing it on the head of the county lord of Wanhua, maybe it will make trouble for a while.

Lord Wanhua pursed his lips and looked at Gu Qingwan, and said quietly after a while: "But I just think pomegranate flowers are good-looking, and a pomegranate tree was planted in the courtyard of my mother before, but the imperial grandmother doesn't like pomegranate flowers, and I can't see them in the palace." After that, he secretly glanced at Gu Qingwan's face.

Gu Qingwan felt that the county lord of Wanhua was a little pitiful, so she took a step back and said, "Then the imperial aunt brought you this Yingluo ring, and the pomegranate flowers were also given to you, okay?" ”

Sure enough, Lord Wanhua's eyes lit up immediately, and he moved to Gu Qingwan's side, and stretched his head in front of Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan had no choice but to take off the pomegranate flower and pin it to the head of the county lord of Wanhua. Only then did the county lord of Wanhua become satisfied, it seemed that a pomegranate flower had completely bought her, and moved the chair to Gu Qingwan's side a little.

Princess Huai saw Gu Qingwan and the county lord of Wanhua talking about small words, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and knew that Gu Qingwan gave the county lord Wanhua hairpins, and Princess Huai laughed: "On weekdays, Wanhua likes Ah Rui very much, but I didn't expect Wanhua to be so close to you." After that, he smiled and said, "I grinded in front of the queen mother for a long time yesterday, and the mother agreed that I would take you out, and I was sad when you turned around and made love to your fifth emperor aunt." ”

The county lord of Wanhua snorted twice, lowered his head and blushed.

Princess Huai laughed, nodded the forehead of the county lord of Wanhua and said, "It's really not funny." ”

"Why did my mother smile so happily, but she also told me that I would laugh too." Before Princess Huai's laughter fell, the gauze curtain was lifted again, and Candle and Zheng Rui walked in front and back. The spring equinox closed the curtain at the back, walked to Princess Huai's side, and brought a few plates of snacks from the food box in his hand and placed them in front of the county lord Wanhua.

Princess Huai waved her hand: "You always want to run outside, forget it, don't say it's amusing me, and you want me to say jokes to coax you." Seeing Sixiang here today, I will bypass you. ”

Only then did Gu Qingwan notice that Qiao Sixiang was lowering his head, but she could see that her face was already crimson. Seeing Princess Huai mention herself, Qiao Sixiang got up and bowed: "Sixiang has seen Lord Rui, I have seen it, Lord Shizi." ”

"Miss Qiao, get up quickly, I escaped today thanks to you, you don't have to be polite."

Qiao Sixiang was even more embarrassed, sat down and only hung his head and didn't speak, but the crimson on his face had spread to the base of his neck.

Gu Qingwan glanced around among the two and Princess Huai, but there was a faint guess in her heart. Previously, Princess Huai said that they were all "from her own family" and did not need to be polite, Gu Qingwan thought that it was because Gu Qingrao, the fourth girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, had been engaged to the sixth brother of the fourth girl Qiao. Now it seems that the Huaiwang Mansion is going to marry the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.

The chess piece of the military department Shangshu, whether it is Empress Chen or Concubine Xian, wants to be drawn to his own camp. Gu Qingrao and Qiao Liuye made a marriage, just to pull the steamed bun Shangshu Mansion. At that time, Gu Qingwan was thinking, both sides were the children of the concubines, and the relationship was a little weak, but she didn't expect that the big head was on the side of Huaiwangfu.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the families were all distinct. Marriage is a major event, and generally speaking, the process of getting married and leaving the children is very cumbersome. At the beginning, the Gu family wished that Gu Qingwan would marry out early, but if it wasn't for the date chosen in the palace, it would have been about a year from the marriage to the wedding.

But the marriage of the children of the concubine can be a little simpler, especially if the concubine and the concubine like Gu Si and Qiao Liuye are married, there is no need to be so strict.

Qiao's family was set in March, and the wedding date was set on the sixth day of June of that year.

But if Candle and Qiao Sixiang are engaged this month, they will not get married until the spring of next year. If the two get married in a hurry, they will not only be laughed at, but at this critical juncture of turbulence, it will arouse suspicion from many parties.

Empress Chen's faction wanted to win over the Qiao family, so she first used the family affairs of her children to reassure the Qiao family, and then arranged the family affairs between Candle and Qiao Sixiang in the coming year, so that the Qiao family could have peace of mind.

Gu Qingrao's family affairs were not even informed by Mrs. Gu, and in Gu Qingwan's opinion, it was decided in a hurry. She thought it strange at the time, but now that she thinks about it, the cause and effect are all connected.

Empress Chen's side can't wait for the next year to take action, either the persecution on Concubine Xian's side is too fierce, or the situation of Emperor Yufeng is a little bad.

Gu Qingwan was undecided, but she was knocked on the back of her head, and then she noticed that Zheng Rui was already standing beside her and poked her head with her index finger. Gu Qingwan followed Zheng Rui's gaze, his eyes were staring at the pomegranate flower on the head of the county lord of Wanhua.

Gu Qingwan was ready for Zheng Rui to make trouble, and she was satisfied by only asking Zheng Rui not to reach out and take back the pomegranate flower, so she could only endure it silently. Fortunately, Zheng Rui poked it twice, and when he saw that Gu Qingwan turned her head to look at him with tears, she consciously withdrew her hand.

The county lord of Wanhua originally saw that Zheng Rui's expression was not very good, so he didn't dare to go over. At this time, Zheng Rui returned to normal, and the county lord of Wanhua called "Uncle Five Emperors", then stepped forward to take his hand, and begged: "Uncle Five Emperors, are you going to go to the race later, will you take me with you?"
