182 Victors
The emperor and queen have all left the table, and the clans in the Qinghe Garden have also greeted each other enough, and they have said some polite words to each other, and they are planning to leave the table.
Zheng Rui was dragged by the county lord of Wanhua to walk in front, Gu Qingwan followed behind Yun Xin, and before he left Qinghe Garden, he saw the eldest lady of the Gu family walking over.
Signaling Yun Xin to stay, Gu Qingwan saluted Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu grabbed Gu Qingwan's hand, but she didn't let her salute: "What do you do with so many courtesies in the family, I just wanted to talk to you, but the Queen Mother loves you and has been letting you serve in front of you, so I haven't found a chance." After that, he said to Yun Xin, who was standing beside him, "This is Yun Xin, I have entered the palace few years ago, and my memory is not good when I am old, and many people are a little embarrassed." ”
Yun Xin hurriedly stepped forward to salute Mrs. Gu, and said, "Lord Bing, Yun Xin was not serving by the Queen Mother's side before, and the county lord had never seen the slave maid, so he was born. ”
Mrs. Gu nodded and said with a smile: "Our Princess Rui has always been very sensible when she was at home, but she is young and upright, and it is inevitable that some things will not be done thoroughly. ”
"Slaves don't dare." Yun Xin hurriedly lowered his head and took a step back, "The Queen Mother is very fond of Princess Rui, and in front of the Queen Mother, it is the place where Hui and the eldest princess have retreated. The Queen Mother said that Princess Rui's upright temperament was like when she was young, and she liked it very much. ”
Now who doesn't know that this Princess Rui is the heart of the Queen Mother, and she really responds to her needs. I'm afraid that she has been wronged a little bit.
Mrs. Gu naturally knew this, but if she was so flattering, why not say a few more words?
"So better, so better." Mrs. Gu took a deep look at Yun Xin, and said to Gu Qingwan again, "Your grandmother has been thinking about you very much these days, and I heard that you are unwell, so she is very anxious. She originally wanted to go to King Rui's Mansion to see you in person, but unfortunately she suffered from a cold a few years ago, and she didn't want to give you her illness. I was finally persuaded by me. I rested that heart. ”
Old Lady Gu has always been face-to-face with her, how can there be such deep affection as Mrs. Gu said.
Gu Qingwan understood in her heart, but she still said, "Let grandmother worry." It's really unfilial. It's just that this Ruiwang Mansion is big and small, and now I have to manage it alone. I really can't leave. On the third day of junior high school, I will definitely go back to thank my grandmother in person. ”
Today succeeded to the throne, Rui Wang Ye is the younger brother of today's mother's compatriots. Even if King Rui is a fool with an incomplete mind, the friendship with his colleagues is always true.
Now he pities his brother, so he naturally wants to support the wife of Lord Rui in order to support the confidence of King Rui's mansion.
And the new emperor's accession to the throne is the time to cultivate henchmen, just because Princess Rui is from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, she will definitely be able to be reused by the new emperor. If this relationship is well utilized, the Yuanhou Mansion of Baoding can go further in the next twenty years.
But Gu Qingwan rejected the post of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion several times, which made the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion a little unhappy and uneasy. After all, this Gu San girl was not favored when she was in her mother's family, and she was notoriously perverse and brainless, if she hated the Gu family in her heart, she turned around and stumbled on the people of her mother's family, maybe she could really do it.
Therefore, Mrs. Gu took advantage of this palace banquet to secretly test it.
Now that the goal has been achieved, seeing that Yun Xin obviously took Gu Qingwan to meet the Empress Dowager Chen, he immediately took his leave.
Gu Qingwan also understood the thoughts of everyone in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but she was no longer the Gu San girl who died of hunger and cold in the Buddhist hall of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, nor was she the Gu Qingwan whose future fate could only be at the mercy of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
She is now Princess Rui, a first-class woman in the court, and a royal prince of the clan. Even if Mrs. Gu had thoughts about her, she could only send someone to secretly test her attitude, but she didn't dare to touch her edge.
Gu Qingwan thought in her heart, but she followed Yun Xin out of Qinghe Garden without changing her face, and saw a soft sedan car parked outside Qinghe Garden.
Yun Xin stepped forward quickly, lifted the curtain and said, "The queen mother was afraid that the princess would not be able to drink enough, so she asked the slave to prepare a sedan chair. Lord Rui is not far ahead, let's move faster, I think we can catch up. ”
Gu Qingwan looked at the sedan chair and a grandmother beside Queen Xiao, so she moved onto the soft sedan chair.
But after a long delay, he didn't catch up with Zheng Rui and his party. When Gu Qingwan arrived at Kunyi Palace, Luan Jia and Feng Jia had not arrived, so she only saw Zheng Rui sitting upright in the side hall, and even the county lord Wanhua who left with him was not there.
Seeing Gu Qingwan coming in, Zheng Rui, who was bored, hurriedly got up.
"What about Wanhua, didn't she pester you to come over first, why didn't you see anyone?" Gu Qingwan looked around, but she had never seen the grandmother beside the county lord of Wanhua.
It's just that Zheng Rui didn't explain for a long time, and Mama Huang, who was standing aside, said: "Back to the princess, the queen mother said that the hour is not early, and the lord of Wanhua has been playing in the palace for a day today, and she has long been tired, so she sent someone to take her back to Ci'an Palace to rest." ”
Gu Qingwan nodded, and didn't ask anything else, just sat and waited for Emperor Yongding and Empress Dowager Chen.
didn't wait long, and saw a person walking in from outside, seeing Zheng Rui and Gu Qingwan, the surprise on his face flashed: "You are also here to visit the Emperor?" ”
After seeing the man's face, Gu Qingwan hurriedly pulled Zheng Rui up and saluted, "I've seen Concubine Jin." ”
The person who came was Princess Huai's cousin, the original Concubine Jin, and now the Concubine Jin.
Concubine Jin only had one daughter, and she had already married outside. She is the cousin of Princess Huai, a girl from the Meng family, and she has always been a non-fighting character. It was Empress Dowager Chen who deliberately supported Concubine Zhuang to share her favor in the past, but now she is not embarrassed by her.
Therefore, among so many concubines, Concubine Jin is the most comfortable among them.
Since the Emperor Taishang was forced to poison the palace by Concubine Xian, he was already a waste person who couldn't take care of himself, but Concubine Jin suddenly invited herself to take care of the Emperor Taishang for the rest of his life.
After weighing it for a long time, Empress Dowager Chen finally agreed. Therefore, in Kunyi Palace today, Gu Qingwan was not surprised to see Concubine Jin.
"Back to the concubine, it was the queen mother who said to attend today, but it was deserted in the Kunyi Palace during such a festival, she couldn't bear it, so she allowed her sons and Ah Rui to visit her father together to fulfill her filial piety."
Obviously, Concubine Jin didn't believe this high-sounding words, she sneered, but she didn't target Gu Qingwan: "Since the Queen Mother is coming to visit the Emperor Taishang today, I'd better avoid it, you can do it yourself." ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the side hall without looking back.
Gu Qingwan and Zheng Rui looked at each other, and waited for the palace maid of Kunyi Palace to come up with tea, and then sat down and waited.
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Chen didn't want to make a big fuss, so there were not many people who came, and they arrived in less than a quarter of an hour.
Empress Dowager Chen and Emperor Yongding walked in front, and everyone followed behind, and entered the main hall of Kunyi Palace in turn.
Kunyi Palace is a place for the Emperor Taishang to recuperate, and it is conceivable that it is in a secluded place. Gu Qingwan hung her head and walked side by side with Zheng Rui, except for the sound of neat footsteps, no movement could be heard around, which was extremely depressing.
This group of people who came to visit Emperor Yufeng on Chinese New Year's Eve were all his closest relatives, but among these close relatives, a few of them really cared about him.
As soon as she entered the inner hall, a palace maid lifted the curtain inside, and Empress Dowager Chen walked in with her head held high, and saw Emperor Yufeng who was lying on the bed and just looking at her with her eyes wide open, but she didn't know whether it was happiness or pity in her eyes.
"Say hello to the Emperor." Empress Dowager Chen stepped forward to bow down, and after everyone saluted, she stood up on her own, and said to Emperor Yufeng with a smile, "Does the Emperor know what day it is today?" ”
Emperor Yufeng made two "ho-ho" with his long mouth, but he didn't spit out a word.
Originally, after relieving Concubine Xian's poison, Emperor Yufeng was nine deaths, but the bad thing was that he listened to the words of the warlock and took too many pills, and his body had already been corrupted, which made it even worse. The entire Tai Hospital has seen that Emperor Yufeng's aphasia is destined to be incurable.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Chen then said to herself: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the concubines of Fang Cai also set up a family banquet to invite all the clansmen, but thinking that the emperor is inevitably a little lonely, he asked the children to come and ask you for peace." You can rest assured, the concubine only brought Huihe and Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu and his daughter-in-law. ”
Emperor Yufeng turned his head with difficulty, glanced at Emperor Yongding in a yellow robe, and made a few more "ho-ho" sounds.
Empress Dowager Chen laughed again: "It's that the concubine forgot, the emperor came to greet you on the day he ascended the throne, and you went to bed early when you were not well, and he couldn't bear to disturb you." It's just that you have just succeeded to the throne and the government is busy, and you also know the Tao, so you have not been able to come to see you idlely. ”
Emperor Yufeng shouted twice, and seeing that Empress Dowager Chen was always smiling, he rolled his eyelids up and stopped meeting them.
Empress Dowager Chen sighed, turned to everyone, and said, "It seems that the Emperor Taishang is tired, you still don't disturb his rest, go back, and talk to the Emperor Taishang more." ”
Gu Qingwan obviously saw Emperor Yufeng's eyelids move, but that's all.
The eldest princess Hui and her children all stayed in Ci'an Palace, and she lived in the side hall of Ci'an Palace during this time, so only Zheng Rui and Gu Qingwan went out of the palace.
After leaving the Zhengde Gate and getting into her own carriage, Gu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned only on Zheng Rui, and said lazily: "You said that she spent so much effort, so she just brought us to Kunyi Palace to ask the Emperor for peace, why bother?" I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd! ”
When Gu Qingwan said about her, she naturally referred to the Empress Dowager Chen.
Concubine De's death is not unrelated to the Empress Dowager Chen, even if it is inherited under the name of the Empress Dowager Chen, this "Queen Mother" has never been called after people.
Compared to Gu Qingwan's simple doubts, Zheng Rui seemed a little worried: "What kind of medicine is selling?" It is nothing more than telling the imperial brother that as long as the person does not die for a day, the imperial brother still has the mountain of the emperor on his head, and not everything is what he wants.
