"The news I received, Uncle Huang must have also received it, but I don't know why Aunt Huang invited you over at this time." Zheng Rui frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "It's been nearly two months since the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and with the ability of the imperial aunt, even if you haven't revealed it, she will hear about it from others. ”

Gu Qingwan also knew that Princess Huai was definitely not looking for her because of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, so she said with relief: "The imperial aunt personally sent Fu Xia to invite her, I have to go this time." As for what the cause is, I only know the way when I go. ”

Previously, Gu Qingwan used the excuse of recuperating from her injuries to avoid seeing Princess Huai twice, but during this period, she went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in person. If she refuses this time, there will be many people in the clan who will come out and fight for Princess Huai, although it is insignificant to her, but when she talks to her, she is also very annoyed by Gu Qingwan.

After saying a few more words to Zheng Rui, Gu Qingwan accepted the invitation, and then let Hongying go over to reply.

On the day of the banquet, Gu Qingwan took the four big maids and four grandmothers around her, plus a large group of maids and mothers-in-law, and went to King Huai's mansion in a mighty way.

Gu Qingwan was still guessing with Zheng Rui two days ago how many people Princess Huai had invited this time, and when she really entered King Huai's mansion, Gu Qingwan found that she was the only one who was invited, which really surprised her.

Princess Huai seems to be a true lover of flowers, and flowers of all flowering periods are planted in Huaiwang's mansion. In addition to the most eye-catching begonias, along the way, Huaiwangfu can be seen everywhere in the flowering garden, and even some anti-seasonal words are carefully planted in bonsai.

As soon as the scenery changed, she entered the main courtyard, but Princess Huai was already waiting in the flower hall. Seeing Gu Qingwan coming in, she also sat on it and didn't move, but instead glanced at Gu Qingwan up and down, and then smiled: "I haven't seen you for a month, but it's not too clear, and thanks to the queen mother, who sent those good supplements in the palace to your mansion like a stream." ”

That's all he said. Gu Qingwan had already blessed Princess Huai, and without waiting for Princess Huai to speak, she walked over to her.

Seeing that Gu Qingwan just smiled but didn't answer her words. The corners of Princess Huai's mouth curved, pointed to the chair beside her, and said softly: "Sit down, although it will be raised for a while." But you still have to pay attention and don't work too hard. ”

Gu Qingwan responded "yes", and a maid served tea on a tray.

Gu Qingwan had never seen this maid delivering tea. But she recognized that her tray was carved from agarwood, and her eyelids jumped.

Not to mention that the use of agarwood to carve a tray is a bit of a violent thing, if Princess Huai deliberately let her see this, it can be seen that Princess Huai's purpose today is not simple.

Gu Qingwan's heart turned back and forth, although her face was not obvious, she still inevitably glanced at the agarwood tray twice.

Princess Huai secretly looked at the expression on Gu Qingwan's face carefully, and only smiled: "This is when the prince was guarding southern Xinjiang. I happened to meet a traveling merchant, and this agarwood was bought from him. He traveled thousands of miles to southern Xinjiang and was transported back. I was grateful for the prince's thoughts, and thought that if it was carved into a decorative pavilion, it would be better to carve it into something that is used on weekdays. ”

"The prince only knows how to lead soldiers to fight in his life, but since he has injured his arm. I can't ...... anymore" Princess Huai's face darkened as she spoke, "Over the years, the prince's mind has long been out of the court, but for the sake of Bin'er, he has to go forward and backward." ”

Gu Qingwan hung her head, only grinning, but she didn't respond.

And Princess Huai looked at Gu Qingwan and didn't say anything, frowned imperceptibly, and sighed again: "Now it's an eventful time, some time ago, I heard that the emperor was obsessed with pills, and he didn't let the imperial doctor help the pulse, but looked for those two warlocks to refine the pill." Two days ago, I heard the prince mention that the emperor had sent someone south to invite the two warlocks to the master. ”

"And such a thing!" Gu Qingwan stood up with a "Teng" sound, her face flushed, "It's okay, does the queen mother know about this matter?" Does Prince Jing know about this? ”

Seeing the stunned on Princess Huai's face flashing, Gu Qingwan had already laughed in her heart, but her face was serious, serious and anxious: "Uncle Huang has the most trust from today, but has he personally persuaded him?" Even I know that these Taoist priests are liars nine times out of ten, how can they eat the pills they refine, and what should I do if there is a problem with eating? ”

The expression on Princess Huai's face changed, and finally turned into a sigh: "Persuasion is naturally persuasion, but the emperor not only didn't listen, but also reprimanded the prince." ”

"Then the queen mother ......" Gu Qingwan held back for a long time, and then squeezed out a few words.

"Niangniang, I'm afraid she also knows about it." Princess Huai's face was worried, "It's just persuasion, but whether you can persuade or not is two words." ”

Gu Qingwan looked dazed, and only asked in a daze, "Then...... So what to do? ”

Princess Huai stared at Gu Qingwan for a while, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to think about it, even if you are worried that we can't take care of the affairs of the court, I invited you to come over today to enjoy the flowers and eat wine, but it was in vain that you delayed so much effort." ”

Gu Qingwan could only say that it was okay, but she still followed Princess Huai to the garden. After walking a few steps, Princess Huai saw Gu Qingwan falling behind, so she waited for Gu Qingwan to step forward before taking her hand and walking forward, and said, "I still remember the last time you came over, and you fell in love with my pot of Chiba White and Chiba Red, so I simply gave it to you today." ”

Gu Qingwan's eyelids jumped, and she only smiled: "How dare you take the favor of the imperial aunt." ”

Chiba white and Chiba red are both a kind of camellia, although they are not genuine, but they are also a kind of ancient camellia, which is very difficult to feed.

The smile on Princess Huai's face was reduced a little: "The left and right are just two pots of flowers, and there is no need to be so polite between us." I didn't see you for a while, so I just thought it was a good gift for you. ”

This shock naturally refers to the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet.

Gu Qingwan's face did not show any embarrassment, but a little more secret joy: "That...... Then I will accept it, and the imperial aunt will not regret it when she thinks about it in the future. ”

Princess Huai smiled faintly: "Naturally, I won't regret it, but you still need to give birth to it, that pot of Qianye Red has already hit a bud, and it must be blooming after a while." ”

Gu Qingwan naturally asked Princess Huai for advice, and said that she would invite a mother-in-law who specializes in serving flowers and plants, and the two of them went farther and farther. When the figures of the people in front of them disappeared on the corridor, the two maids waiting in the flower hall nodded to each other, and one of them walked out of the flower hall quickly and went all the way to the outer courtyard.
