Gu Qingwan's words and deeds in Princess Huihe's mansion reached Princess Huai's ears in less than half a day. Princess Huai was a little stunned when she heard the reply of the spring equinox, and sighed faintly after a while.

Seeing that Princess Huai's expression was not worried, the spring equinox asked, "Why is the princess sighing?" ”

Princess Huai looked at a wooden hibiscus in the courtyard that had already shown a decadent appearance, and her eyes flashed: "Gu Qingwan took this step, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but I can't understand it." ”

Glancing back at the vernal equinox, Princess Huai smiled.

The spring equinox was originally the maid next to the county lord Zheng Yu, who grew up with Zheng Yu since he was a child, and he had a little love for Zheng Yu. Zheng Yu married his relatives far away, and insisted on leaving the spring equinox by Princess Huai's side to fulfill his filial piety, and the spring equinox arrived at the main courtyard.

The four big maidens beside Princess Huai, compared to the other three thoughtful, the spring equinox seemed a little stupid. But because of the county lord of Zheng Yu, Princess Huai's treatment of the spring equinox is naturally different from other maids. Moreover, for Princess Huai, a slightly clumsy but very loyal maid is far more reassuring than a delicate and clear mind.

"Two days ago, Princess Huihe sent a post to King Rui's mansion, which is not a secret thing. Moreover, although Gu Qingwan did not put on a guard of honor today, the sedan chair in King Rui's Mansion passed from the main street, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was Princess Rui sitting inside. But Gu Qingwan entered the princess's mansion and sat for less than two quarters of an hour before returning home. Princess Huihe's Mansion is not an iron bucket, as long as you have a heart, how can there be an impermeable wall? ”

The spring equinox opened his mouth, and then he said: "Princess Narui is really bold, who in this capital doesn't know that Princess Huihe is a ...... Temper tantrum is the most unprovoked. Fortunately, Princess Huihe didn't have a seizure today, otherwise I don't know how to end it. ”

When Princess Huai heard this, she only raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, but she didn't answer the words of the spring equinox.

Although Gu Qingwan has the title of princess. But she is married to King Rui, who has no power and has been stupid since she was a child, how can the ladies in the clan who think highly of themselves really take her seriously? If it weren't for the light of King Jing, there would be a lot of people who took the opportunity to step on her. Besides, Gu Qingwan has always been easy to speak. After a long time, there are still people who dare to use Zheng Rui's stupidity to mock two sentences in person.

But now she even dared to refute the intentions of Hui and the princess, and those ladies in the clan who thought that Gu Qingwan had a soft temperament should also weigh themselves as much as possible when they were snakes, snakes, scorpions, and scorpions, and think about whether Princess Rui could afford to provoke them.

It's just for the sake of these petty profits that he offended Princess Megumi and the princess. Obviously, because of a small loss, Princess Huai couldn't guess Gu Qingwan's intentions for a while.

"But come to think of it, Princess Rui was a pungent character when she was in the boudoir. Even his stepmother dared to beat and scold. "The spring equinox said on its own," At the beginning, the slave maid looked at the appearance of Princess Rui, and thought that she had entered the royal family and knew how to restrain her temperament, but today, she saw that it was difficult to change her temperament. ”

Princess Huai glanced at the spring equinox, and then thought that Gu Qingwan was really smart. Over the years, I will not be splashed with sewage by the step-room from a small family, and the notoriety will be outside, and no one will care about it when it is almost over.

Just thinking about it, I saw Fu Xia spreading the word on the other side of the crystal curtain, saying that King Huai and the prince had just passed the news. Dinner is set in the inner courtyard today. After hearing this, Princess Huai's spirits lifted a little, so she put aside the affairs of Princess Huihe's mansion, and only asked Fu Xia to call the grandmother in charge of the kitchen to come over to discuss the dishes.

said that Gu Qingwan, after she came back from Princess Huihe's mansion, King Rui's mansion finally quieted down. Previously, she was recuperating in the house, and the wives and ladies in Beijing saw that she had the blue eyes of Queen Chen, and the people who came to the house every day to visit the sick and invited her to the banquet never stopped. Although Gu Qingwan was overwhelmed, she had to deal with a few words on the scene.

But the news that she offended Princess Huihe spread, and the palace of King Rui became much colder. Even the day after returning from Princess Huihe's Mansion, Gu Qingwan entered the palace to greet Empress Chen, and Empress Chen treated her with a pleasant face and rewarded her with a lot of things, but this situation did not improve much.

Gu Qingwanle's leisure, except for walking around with Xie Ningxin and the two aunts of He Mansion, even the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has no contact.

Xie Ningxin and the two aunts of He Mansion often persuaded her not to compete with Princess Huihe, but Gu Qingwan clearly agreed, but it was only perfunctory.

Regardless of whether Zheng Rui's fall into the water and the death of Concubine De were the masterminds of Empress Chen, if it weren't for Empress Chen's fueling the troubles, just with Concubine De's family background and status as one of the four concubines, who would dare to easily beat her idea? Even if Empress Chen now recorded Prince Jing in her name as a last resort, it is obvious that King Jing did not receive Empress Chen's affection at all.

In the final analysis, it's just a mutual use, and what's more, Prince Jing is afraid that he is also like Zheng Rui, and has a lot of hostility towards Queen Chen.

If it is Prince Jing who ascends to the top in the future, he will naturally help Zheng Rui, the younger brother of a fellow mother, and Princess Huihe is just a face-saving relationship. Even if the most difficult thing is that Prince Ke gains power, Concubine Xian will not let go of Queen Chen, a thorn in her side, why should she take care of Princess Huihe, who is difficult to protect herself?

It was precisely because Gu Qingwan had figured it out early that she dared to offend Princess Huihe.

Time flies by during the closed door, and the winter solstice is approaching in a blink of an eye. This year is a cold winter, as little as the day before, the sky has been overcast since noon, and the fourth snow of the year has fallen in the night. As little as that morning, a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

When Gu Qingwan woke up, the sky was slightly bright, and what came into her ears was the sound of snow clearing outside the window, although the sound was small, it was still a little disturbing in the quiet winter morning. Gu Qingwan lightly lifted the arm on her waist, and saw that Zheng Rui was just frowning and not sober, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

said that after Zheng Rui confessed to Gu Qingwan that he pretended to be stupid, Gu Qingwan could no longer only treat him as a child of a few years old, although she said that she was different from Zheng Rui and other men, but there was no husband and wife relationship. can remember that if Zheng Rui wants to be married to her, she can only grit her teeth and bear it.

Fortunately, Zheng Rui never mentioned this matter, and Gu Qingwan naturally kept silent, even Zheng Rui still slept with her, and Gu Qingwan endured it silently.

It's just that she thinks Zheng Rui's recent small actions have been too much!

Let's say that it's cold in winter, so you don't have to hang on her like a koala.

The scorching breath rushed behind her ears, Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes to look at the face that was close at hand, but she saw that the corners of Zheng Rui's mouth kept rising, and she was afraid that she would have woken up a long time ago.

"Tell you to pretend!" Gu Qingwan hatefully pinched Zheng Rui's hand back on her waist, and wanted to push Zheng Rui away, but saw Zheng Rui suddenly jump up from the bed. Gu Qingwan came back to her senses, but saw that the others had already entered the clean room.

When Zheng Rui came out of the clean room, Gu Qingwan had already washed up, and while her hair was tied by a golden hairpin, she instructed Bao Tian to put breakfast in the house. Seeing Zheng Rui come out, he didn't raise his head, but only picked out a white jade inlaid bead flat square and handed it to Jin Hai.

Seeing that Jin Hai had inserted the last hairpin and cleaned up and retreated, Gu Qingwan casually asked Zheng Rui, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Qingwan naturally didn't see the embarrassment flashing on Zheng Rui's face, and only heard him reply: "I suddenly remembered that the third brother mentioned to me a few days ago, asking me to take you to Jingwang's Mansion for a small gathering on this day, so I thought about getting up quickly." ”

As soon as Gu Qingwan heard that it was Prince Jing's personal invitation, she paid more attention to it, and ignored the far-fetched explanation of Zheng Rui for the time being, and only frowned: "Since you should go, let's have breakfast and go out again." When the weather is cold, you have to order someone to set up the carriage early, and the carriage will be warmed in advance. ”

In the Great Zhou, the winter solstice is a big festival, from the small solstice to the next three days, hundreds of officials congratulate, the king does not listen to the government, and the shops avoid the market. On the day of the winter solstice, there was a celebration in the royal family, she and Zheng Rui wanted to enter the palace to worship, and everything in the palace was only important to enter the palace on the day of the winter solstice. Gu Qingwan still wanted to make a detailed arrangement today, but she couldn't plan to change quickly.

After that, she glanced at the clothes on Zheng Rui's body again, and saw that they were the home-cooked clothes she asked people to take out of the box yesterday, so she ordered Baodian to open the box and find a newly made winter coat to come out.

After breakfast, before going out, Gu Qingwan explained to Guiye about hiding ice again.

Rui Wangfu was rebuilt from the Qi Palace, although the pattern is mostly in the style of the Jiangnan area, but also built an ice cellar. It's just that the ice cellar is in disrepair and looks a little dilapidated.

When Gu Qingwan and Zheng Rui got married, it was already in February, but they didn't have time to store ice, and the use of ice in summer was quite stretched, so they let people rebuild the ice cellar in autumn this year. Around the winter solstice is the best time to hide ice, and it is very cold during this time, and there are a few more days.

originally expected that the whole house would be very busy on the day of the winter solstice, and Gu Qingwan decided to seal the cellar on this day, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to catch up.

Seeing that Guiye responded one by one, Gu Qingwan instructed the maid and the maid to take turns to rest for the past few days, and then got into the carriage.

The stove in the car had already been warmed, Gu Qingwan only felt a hot breath coming to her face, and saw Zheng Rui suddenly reach out and untie her big pot, and handed her a cup of warm tea to her hand. A set of movements is very fluent, and it looks sparse and ordinary.

Gu Qingwan was stunned, and then sat down with her head down.

The carriage was moving forward, and Gu Qingwan was a little drowsy, so she proposed to play chess with Zheng Rui.

Zheng Rui glanced at Gu Qingwan with an unpredictable expression, and then said: "What's the point of only playing chess, no matter if you win or lose, otherwise, let's gamble once, and the losing side will agree to a request from the winning side." (To be continued.) )
