Although King Chengjun is twenty-four and two, Xu is only thirty-five or six because of his martial arts training. With a high nose and wide eyes, he is very silent when he thinks about it, and after sitting down, he drinks by himself, and he never talks to other people.

On the contrary, Princess Chengjun was very amiable, and when she saw Gu Qingwan and Zheng Rui coming over, she nodded and smiled at him.

The clan has never had many heirs, and there are three side concubines in the Chengjun Palace, and there must be concubines, but now there is only one son and two daughters. The two girls were born from side concubines and married out a few years ago. The prince is from the princess of Chengjun, and the king of Chengjun has a son, and he cherishes it very much, and when he was six years old, he asked for the title of the prince.

King Chengjun went to the palace banquet tonight, and the prince of Chengjun sat in Gyeonggi,

Gu Qingwan was about to talk to Princess Chengjun when she heard a slightly sharp voice coming from outside the garden, but it turned out that Luan Jia and Feng Jia had arrived together.

The silk and bamboo stopped suddenly, and the Qinghe Garden suddenly fell silent. Gu Qingwan pulled Zheng Rui to bow down, and after a while, she heard the head say: "Today is a family banquet, you don't need to be polite, get up quickly." ”

This is the voice of Emperor Yongding.

The voice of silk and bamboo rose again, Gu Qingwan thought that Zheng Rui had been hungry for a long time, so she picked up a few light and easy-to-digest foods and put them in front of him: "I saw that the food in the palace was very greasy, and before entering the palace, I asked Hongying to make you sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, just go back to relieve hangover." I also asked him to keep your favorite tofu skin buns, don't break it. ”

Zheng Rui nodded, and Princess Chengjun on the side laughed: "Looking at her fiery temperament, she knows how to take care of people." ”

When King Chengjun heard this, he glanced at Princess Chengjun noncommittally. But he didn't look at Gu Qingwan for half of his eyes.

Gu Qingwan was inevitably a little embarrassed when she saw King Chengjun like this, so she only said to Princess Chengjun dryly: "Aunt Wei praised it." ”

Princess Chengjun's surname is Wei, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet last year, Gu Qingwan called her aunt according to the seniority in the clan.

Seeing that King Chengjun's attitude was lukewarm, Princess Chengjun just glanced at him, and said helplessly: "Qingwan, don't mind, your Uncle Wang is like this on weekdays, and I don't know how many people I have offended in the past, don't mind." ”

When Gu Qingwan heard this, she glanced at King Chengjun more.

The Chengjun royal palace has not participated in the battle for succession for generations. Although there has never been a tendency to cook in hot oil. But there will be no disaster. King Chengjun is lukewarm to anyone, neither has a deep grudge against others, nor does he have too much intersection with others, so it is not a way of life.

Gu Qingwan waved her hand again and again. I don't mind. I chatted with Princess Chengjun for a few more words. The person sent by the Empress Dowager Chen invited her to sit next to her.

She sat on the top, only to find that the hundred states below could be seen very clearly, but the warbler Yanyan on the high platform also gave Gu Qingwan a little headache.

Emperor Yongding had just succeeded to the throne. has not filled the harem, and the concubines in this palace are all old men in King Jing's mansion.

Now there are only two four concubines, both of whom are the side concubines who are still the concubines of King Jing. Concubine Shu is the girl from the Kang family in Jiangnan, and Concubine Xian is the eighth girl of the Jinxiang Hou Mansion. The remaining two concubines are vacant, that is, only three of the nine concubines have been sealed.

The harem is empty, but Empress Xiao and Empress Dowager Chen have selfish intentions, and Emperor Yongding will not mention filling the harem, and they will not speak.

Concubine Li was able to be named "Li" at the beginning, which shows the beauty of her appearance. Although this Concubine Li is seventy-seven, the years have only seen charm on her face, and there is no trace.

The Great Zhou clan is a beauty, and the eldest princess Huihe is one of the best. Among the manpower Gu Qingwan has seen, the only one whose appearance can be compared with the eldest princess is Concubine Li.

But it's only been two months since I saw her, this newly crowned Concubine Li. But it was as if he was suddenly a teenager old, and his eyebrows and eyes revealed tiredness. She used to be the most noisy, but now she sits silently in the dark, only looking up at the prince under the high platform from time to time.

Although her son had already moved out of the palace to live in another house, the Emperor Taishang had not yet died, and she had to live in the palace without the will of Emperor Yongding and Empress Dowager Chen.

Even if those palace people didn't dare to do anything, how could she, who had been arrogant all her life, stand the cold words and secret squeeze of Empress Dowager Chen and the eldest princess Huihe.

Concubine Li's hand hidden in the dark was almost pinched by her fingernails, and when the cups and cups collided, she suddenly remembered what Lady Xue told her yesterday: "Not to mention that the Emperor Taishang has not died now, but when the day comes, I don't know what way the Empress Dowager will come up with to trap you in the palace." Niangniang, haven't you seen clearly after so many years, the Queen Mother is deep in thought, and she will repay her eyes, and now she can only be slaughtered in the palace. ”

When she was young, she relied on the saint's dependents, and she has always been a character who can't stand grievances, and she has made a lot of stumbling blocks for Empress Dowager Chen. Empress Dowager Chen is in power, will she let herself go? Concubine Li's eyes flashed, and she glanced at her son Yu Wangye in a bit of a daze.

Zheng Ye can't be like a harem without a summon, and she herself seems to be imprisoned in the harem, just wanting to see her little grandson Zhu'er, and now it is even more difficult.

That's it, if she becomes a king or loses a coward, can she still have any ideas?

The Liangzi with the Empress Dowager Chen has already been concluded, and now she can only hope for the new emperor and the new queen.

The new emperor is a piece of wood, once he sits in that seat, he is willing to be at the mercy of others. Not to mention the new emperor, it is Queen Naxiao, in her opinion, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

I only hope that after getting all her chips, they can let themselves out of the palace to spend their old age in peace.

When Concubine Li was at war between heaven and man in her heart, the county lord of Wanhua was struggling out of the hands of a grandmother, and ran to Gu Qingwan's side as soon as she slipped away, and she just squeezed out a seat between Gu Qingwan and Zheng Rui.

Empress Dowager Chen was talking to the eldest princess of Huihe, but she just glanced at it, and then sent the grandmother beside the county lord of Wanhua to follow, and she didn't care.

Lord Wanhua stabilized his body, then turned his head to Gu Qingwan and said, "Uncle Fifth Emperor doesn't keep his word, he said last month that he would take me out of the palace to play, but every time he entered the palace, he walked around me. ”

Gu Qingwan poked her puffed face, and said with a smile: "Your Fifth Emperor Uncle doesn't keep his promises, you are looking for him, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Wanhua turned her head to look at Zheng Rui, and saw that he was just burying his head and eating snacks, so he said angrily: "Aunt Liu Yi told me, she said that the Fifth Emperor Uncle can't be the master, and if you want your aunt to nod, the Fifth Emperor Uncle will agree even if he doesn't want to." ”

Gu Qingwan saw the corners of Zheng Rui's faintly curled lips, quite a feeling of crying and laughing, and seeing that Wanhua was still waiting for her reply with her eyes wide open, she changed the topic: "If you want to leave the palace, you will naturally ask the Queen Mother, and if the Queen Mother agrees, the Queen Aunt will naturally agree." ”

Wanhua's eyelids suddenly shrugged down, and she only bit her ear with Gu Qingwan and said, "I don't want to ask the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother likes Sister Shuanghua the most now, and He'er, she doesn't like me at all." ”

The emotional little girl is jealous.

Gu Qingwan smiled and said, "Who told you about these messes, your imperial grandmother's favorite, of course, is you." If you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Liu Yi. ”

"Aunt Liu Yi doesn't tell me the truth, can't I see it myself?" There was a hint of gloom in Wanhua's voice, "During this time, the imperial grandmother took Sister Shuanghua to live in Ci'an Palace, and asked He'er to play with Sister Shuanghua every day, regardless of me. ”

Speaking of the most embarrassing, there was a hint of crying in her small voice: "In addition to the imperial grandmother, I like the five emperor uncles and imperial aunts the most, since the imperial grandmother now likes sister Shuanghua, I will live with the five imperial uncles and imperial aunts." ”

Compared with the eldest princess Huihe, Empress Dowager Chen spent more energy on the late crown prince Zheng Qian. After Zheng Gan's death, Empress Dowager Chen personally raised the county lord of Wanhua by her side, just because she was afraid that she would be wronged.

Wanhua was originally innocent and lively, her father died, her mother committed suicide, and for a six-year-old girl, the blow was fatal.

In the past two years, Empress Dowager Chen has been well-educated, but she has lost her previous timidity and gloom. But she still has a shadow in her heart, and she regards Empress Dowager Chen as her only relative, and her heart of gains and losses is especially serious.

And although Ke Shuanghua is the daughter of the eldest princess of Huihe, in terms of closeness, Ke Shuanghua is the granddaughter, and the lord of Wanhua is the granddaughter.

If it is really as Wanhua said, Empress Dowager Chen's behavior is indeed very strange.

But now that the county lord of Wanhua looked like she was about to cry with red eyes, Gu Qingwan couldn't bear to pity her life experience, so she put those thoughts behind her, and only comforted her: "If you really want to leave the palace, I can ask your fifth emperor uncle to take you out of the palace to go around, but in the end, you have to ask your imperial grandmother to agree." ”

Lord Wanhua's face instantly became happy.

Gu Qingwan's face sank at this time: "It's just that your imperial grandmother doesn't like you, and if you want to live with me and your fifth emperor uncle, you must not say it again in the future." If your imperial grandmother knew what you were thinking, she would be so sad. ”

Wanhua nodded in a daze, and the grandmother, who was standing behind Wanhua and never said a word, lowered her head......

The goal was achieved, but Wanhua refused to leave, and pestered Gu Qingwan to tell stories and coax her, only to wait until the banquet was dispersed, and she was forcibly pulled by the grandmother behind her, and then she turned around and walked away.

Gu Qingwan drank a few glasses, her face was a little drunk, and she was about to ask Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Xiao to resign, when she saw Yun Xin, the female official beside Empress Dowager Chen, quietly leaned over and whispered: "Also ask Wang Ye and Princess to stay, the Empress Dowager just passed the word, saying that we were all lively on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the Kunyi Palace was very deserted, and she was inevitably uneasy." ”

Kunyi Palace is now the place where the Emperor Taishang rests.

I don't know what Empress Chen's plan is, Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes expressionlessly.

"What the Queen Mother means is that when the people disperse, please ask the prince and the princess to go straight to the Kunyi Palace and say hello to the emperor." (To be continued......)
