Gu Qingwan only glanced at it and then withdrew her eyes, and stepped forward to salute Empress Chen.

Although Empress Chen's momentum was majestic, her face was still relatively gentle, and she hurriedly said, "Quickly excuse me." Then he turned his head and instructed Liu Yi, who was standing aside, "Quickly help Princess Rui up." ”

After Gu Qingwan got up, Empress Chen ordered Gu Qingwan to come and sit down beside her.

Gu Qingwan saw that the ladies in the palace were sitting below, even Princess Huai, so she excused herself. Queen Chen said that she was a bride, and it didn't matter, and the ladies sitting down also spoke out. Gu Qingwan saw that she couldn't refuse, so she sat down on the round stool beside Empress Chen.

Empress Chen's eyes paused, and after a moment, she regained her smile and introduced the people sitting at her head one by one.

The first one sitting on the lower left is Concubine Xian, sitting on her right is Concubine Li, and Concubine Jin is sitting on the right with Princess Huai. The rest of the concubines, Empress Chen, mentioned it, and Gu Qingwan deliberately kept her sitting posture, so she naturally didn't pay much attention when she was distracted.

It's just that when his eyes swept over Concubine Zhuang, he paused.

Rao is a beauty in the royal family, and Gu Qingwan was also a little amazed in her heart (It is said that she has seen a lot of beauties, not to mention others, although Zheng Rui is not mentally adequate, she really has no choice in appearance, and Princess Huihe is the most beautiful woman she has ever seen.

When she saw Concubine Zhuang, she still couldn't help but look at her. If Princess Huihe is a bright and moving red rose, then Concubine Zhuang is a pure and flawless white rose. There has always been a dispute between red and white roses, but just based on the superficial temperament of these two people, Gu Qingwan still has a better impression of Ling Shangxue like Concubine Zhuang.

Although Concubine Zhuang's ascendancy also has the factor that Empress Chen wants to cultivate chess pieces to fight against Concubine Jin, if it weren't for her appearance, how could Empress Chen look down on her. However, Gu Qingwan didn't dare to relax her vigilance against Concubine Zhuang because of her white moonlight-like appearance. You must know that she climbed from a palace maid to the position of a concubine, and also gave birth to a prince, in addition to Queen Chen's encouragement, it is more the result of her own efforts.

Concubine Zhuang was very enthusiastic about Gu Qingwan. But Gu Qingwan decided to stay away from Concubine Zhuang from the beginning.

Compared with Concubine Zhuang, the women in this harem are afraid that they will all be overshadowed, and Concubine Jin is naturally no exception. But Concubine Jin has been a saint for more than ten years. It can be seen that it is also powerful. Not to mention the virtuous concubines who have Zhaoguo Gong and the Marquis of Zhongjing Mansion as their backers, as well as Concubine Li, who has made great achievements in her mother's war.

None of the women in this palace are easy to mess with, but Gu Qingwan is a little sympathetic to Queen Chen.

Gu Qingwan sat stiffly, Queen Chen and the ladies in the palace had a match to talk to her, and after a little silence, Concubine Xian asked the palace maid behind her to hold a small box: "This is my meeting gift to Princess Rui, it's not worth it." My palace has always been cold, and in the future, Princess Rui will be free, but she can come to my palace to talk to me. ”

Princess Huihe entered the palace with a pair of children in three days, and most of the Yongyan Palace was lively, but the number of times Princess Ke entered the palace every month was a rule. Concubine Xian's words were sarcastic. Empress Chen heard it.

Her eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile: "Qingwan is a bride, how can she have time to enter the palace to talk to us." If my sister feels that the palace is cold, it is better to come to Yongyan Palace to talk to me. ”

Concubine Xian's smile did not change, and she wanted to say a few more words to stab Queen Chen, but she heard Concubine Li on the side cover her mouth and laughed: "Since Sister Concubine Xian gave a meeting gift, I can't be too cold." But today I just happened to come over, and I heard that Princess Rui was going to come to serve tea, so I sat for a while, and I didn't have any preparations. ”

Saying that, Concubine Li took off a gold silk and red bracelet from her hand, and took a few steps forward to put it on Gu Qingwan's hand in person: "This bracelet was brought to Beijing from the south back then. Wearing it into the palace again, although it is not as valuable as the meeting gift given by Sister Xian, it can be regarded as my heart. ”

No one knew what was in the box given by Concubine Xian, but Concubine Li insisted that she was giving something valuable, and Concubine Xian didn't say much.

The bracelet given by Concubine Keli seemed to have more meaning, and Gu Qingwan didn't dare to accept it. Concubine Ke Li had already withdrawn her hand: "It's not early, I got up early today, and I'm already a little tired." ”

After saying that, he saluted Queen Chen again, and said to the people present: "Everyone is out of company." "I didn't even look back and walked out.

Gu Qingwan was a little unpredictable about Concubine Li's temperament, so she looked at Queen Chen, Queen Chen's eyes flashed, and she said, "Since it is a meeting gift from Concubine Li, you can accept it." ”

Gu Qingwan nodded yes, now the other concubines were naturally not to be left behind, and those who were prepared in advance were sent up, and those who were not prepared were taken from the ones they were wearing. Fortunately, there are not many concubines here, otherwise Gu Qingwan only brought Guiye into the palace alone, but I don't know how to take these "meeting gifts".

With Concubine Li taking the lead, everyone talked for a while, and then they all found excuses to leave. Concubine Xian was the last to leave, and Gu Qingwan noticed that the female official beside her glanced at her several times. Seeing that the room was empty, Gu Qingwan was more or less relieved.

Now there are only Empress Chen, Princess Huihe, Princess Huai and Princess Jing.

A few people talked for a while, and then they heard someone reply that Lord Rui would come over later. Gu Qingwan saw that Empress Chen nodded at Liu Yi, and Liu Yi opened the curtain and went out.

Before Liu Yi came in, the shrill voice of the attendant outside the hall came in, and Zheng Rui actually came with Jinshang. Not only Gu Qingwan, but also Queen Chen's face was not the original calm look, and her face showed a little joy.

Gu Qingwan had never seen Tianyan, and before the saint could enter the inner hall, the palace maids in the house knelt down with hula la, only hanging their heads and not daring to speak, and the room was quiet.

Although it only took a while from outside the hall to the side hall, Gu Qingwan was nervous in her heart, but she felt that a long time had passed. Finally, the curtain moved, and Princess Jing hurriedly pulled Gu Qingwan to kneel, and Queen Chen greeted her with a happy face.

Gu Qingwan lowered her head, only to hear a low voice: "Get up, don't be polite." ”

Gu Qingwan and Princess Jing thanked each other, and stood up with the help of the palace maids beside them, and when they looked up, they only saw the back of Emperor Yufeng.

Although Emperor Yufeng was not yet at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he was riddled with illness because of his excessive thoughts. In addition, the prince's violent death hit him too hard, and he looked even older than he actually was. It's less than fifty, but it gives people the feeling of nearly sixty.

It's just that although he is a little old in appearance, he can't be offended, and Gu Qingwan, who is oppressed by the momentum of the superiors, doesn't dare to take a second look.

Gu Qingwan was standing in place at a loss, and Zheng Rui stepped forward to stand with her. Although he was stupid, he was very responsible in front of the emperor and queen, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"This is Ari's princess, come and take a look."

It is not a secret thing that Emperor Yufeng has had eye diseases in the past two years, Gu Qingwan glanced at Zheng Rui, and took a few steps forward, but he didn't dare to get too close.

Emperor Yufeng just squinted his eyes and glanced at Gu Qingwan, but he didn't speak, but Empress Chen said: "Although Ah Rui is eighteen, his temperament is not very calm. You live outside the palace, to be honest, I'm still a little worried, but you can't break the rules, Ari will ask you to pay more attention in the future. ”

These words did not deliberately avoid Zheng Rui's lack of mind.

Gu Qingwan's heart was broken, and then she heard that Emperor Yufeng finally opened her mouth: "I heard that Xiao Wu said that he took his bride into the palace to serve tea today, so I came over to sit down." The rules in the palace are big, but in the end, they are a family, and they don't have to be too restrained today. ”

Empress Chen's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly ordered, "Quickly bring the tea." ”

Liu Yi had already arranged it outside, and when she saw Queen Chen's instructions, she hurriedly asked the palace maid outside to bring tea in.

Gu Qingwan still had the ability to observe words and expressions, so she hurriedly pulled Zheng Rui forward and knelt down, and respectfully brought tea to Emperor Yufeng and Empress Chen. Gu Qingwan was still kneeling, so she listened to Emperor Yufeng's instructions to the attendants around her, and rewarded Gu Qingwan with a lot of things.

Although Emperor Yufeng only sat for a moment and left, it can be seen that Empress Chen is in a good mood today.

Emperor Yufeng just squinted his eyes and glanced at Gu Qingwan, but he didn't speak, but Empress Chen said: "Although Ah Rui is eighteen, his temperament is not very calm.
