187 Disputes
Gu Qingwan walked slowly, and she followed Queen Xiao into the inner hall. There weren't many people in the house, except for a few concubines and the eldest princess Huihe, only Princess Huai, Princess Duan and Princess Chengjun were here.
Empress Dowager Chen sat on the top, and at the front of the bottom sat the eldest princess Huihe and Empress Xiao.
Seeing Gu Qingwan come in, except for Queen Xiao, everyone smiled. As usual, before Gu Qingwan stepped forward, Empress Dowager Chen exempted her.
Gu Qingwan found a place to sit down, on her left was the eldest princess Huihe, and diagonally opposite was Queen Xiao. Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
Gu Qingwan has always been tired of such occasions, and she has to deal with it on weekdays, but today she can shine openly. She just listened to everyone's speech, and when she asked, she answered without a match, and looked very impatient. Everyone present was a human spirit, and when they saw Gu Qingwan's appearance, they didn't lead the topic to her.
Ke Hui and the eldest princess were uninhibited, so they asked Gu Qingwan coldly: "You have a lively personality in your life, but it is very wrong to come in today and be silent for so long." I just heard that you and Su Yun didn't look very good when they came in. As he spoke, he covered his mouth and laughed, and quipped, "But our queen mother scolded you, what grievances did you suffer?" ”
This is also what everyone wants to ask, as soon as the eldest princess Huihe finished speaking, the room became much quieter, obviously waiting for Gu Qingwan to answer.
Empress Dowager Chen knew the temper of the eldest princess Huihe, and when she saw this, she could only say to Empress Xiao in a gentle voice: "I also see that your child is very strange today, what is going on." ”
Empress Xiao reluctantly laughed: "The eldest princess is thinking about it." There is no contradiction between me and Qingwan, but I taught her a few rules on the way here, and it was also for her good. I didn't expect her to be a child's temperament, and the slightest disappointment was shown on her face. ”
Gu Qingwan just lowered her head, and only said after a while: "What Niangniang said is true." ”
Looking at Gu Qingwan's attitude, he knew that the matter was not as frivolous as Queen Xiao said, but the person concerned said this, and everyone was not stupid, so naturally they would not get to the bottom of it, and they talked about other things with laughter.
Gu Qingwan kept a straight face the whole time. After all the concubines and wives resigned. Empress Dowager Chen left both of them alone, and only said with a calm face: "Anyway, what happened, don't think about fooling me." I'm old though. But I'm not confused. The two of you are like one person on weekdays. How did you get it like this today? ”
Empress Xiao lowered her head and did not speak. Gu Qingwan looked left and right, and glanced at Hui and the eldest princess.
Mama Huang had already come in to confess to the eldest princess of Huihe, and the eldest princess of Huihe rolled her eyes. As soon as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Empress Dowager Chen: "Huihe, what are you involved in this matter." Qing Wan's expression is not right today, and others are not stupid, so they naturally see it. You still have to ask, it makes people see a joke. ”
The eldest princess was silenced.
The eldest princess Huihe is very good at protecting her calves for her own children, although she didn't make trouble last night, she was also angry with Queen Xiao's attitude. Zheng Kai is just lucky, if Wanhua is a royal grandson, why do you need her to worry so much. Besides, what's wrong with her Shuanghua, if it weren't for the situation, she wouldn't be willing to marry Shuanghua to Zheng He's stupid boy.
As soon as I dozed off, someone sent a pillow, seeing that there was some dirt between Gu Qingwan and Queen Xiao, if I didn't take the opportunity to stab Queen Xiao, it would not be the style of Princess Hui and the eldest princess.
"Please also ask the queen mother to calm her anger." Knowing that Gu Qingwan was a Ning temper, Empress Xiao finally opened her mouth first, "It's Erchen's, isn't it, I had a few disputes with Qingwan on the way here." Thinking about it, Qingwan is a child's temper, and Erchen is still more serious with her, so it is Erchen's. ”
"It's the imperial sister-in-law's tone that is a little heavier, so don't be angry with the imperial sister-in-law." Empress Xiao endured it and said a word to Gu Qingwan under the eyes of Empress Dowager Chen and the eldest princess Huihe.
Empress Dowager Chen now has two daughters-in-law, one of whom is restrained by her everywhere in the palace and divides her power, while the other is heartless.
Empress Dowager Chen's preference for her younger daughter-in-law is something that the entire clan knows. A few years ago, because the county lord of Duanwang Mansion Chengyu said a few words of Gu Qingwan to her, he summoned Princess Duan to the palace to say a few words, and coldly treated Princess Duan for a while. forced the county lord of Chengyu to come to the door in person to apologize to Gu Qingwan, and now that he saw Gu Qingwan, the county lord of Chengyu had to take a detour.
Empress Xiao was afraid of Empress Dowager Chen, so she said soft words first.
The eldest princess Huihe smiled and said, "Su Yun, you are used to being generous, although Qingwan is a little more upright, she is not an unreasonable person. I'm curious what you're talking about, and why you're doing it like this. ”
The panic on Empress Xiao's face flashed, and she only stared at Gu Qingwan and said, "It's just an ordinary joke, Qingwan, do you say?" ”
Gu Qingwan wanted to speak and stopped, and only said after a while: "What the queen mother said is true." ”
"I see that it is not early, today the emperor said that he was going to Yongyan Palace to set up a meal, but the retainers had to go back early to make some preparations." After saying that, he grabbed Gu Qingwan, "Let's come over together, Qingwan will go with me." ”
The eldest princess Huihe was about to leave to stay, but the Empress Dowager Chen waved her hand and said, "That's it, I'm also tired, you all retreat." ”
Empress Xiao finally had a hint of joy on her face, and hurriedly said: "If you don't disturb the queen mother's rest, Qingwan and I will retire." ”
After speaking, he ignored Gu Qingwan's reaction, and pulled Gu Qingwan out of Ci'an Palace.
Princess Huihe was a little anxious: "Why didn't the queen mother keep Qingwan, look at their appearance today, something must have happened." If Xiao Suyun is allowed to seal his mouth first, it will be difficult for us to inquire in the future. ”
"What are you flustered about, how old you are or this quick temper, but as long as you are as calm as your imperial brother, I don't have to worry so much." Inadvertently mentioned Zheng Qian, Empress Dowager Chen was really sad, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Don't worry, I have my own plans in my heart." Isn't what I'm doing now just for the sake of you and Wanhua. ”
Even if she succeeded Zheng Kai and Zheng Rui, Empress Dowager Chen didn't like them very much, after all, there was still a concubine between them.
Besides, although Zheng Kai looks honest and deceitful now, he knows that he is not the next Emperor Yufeng.
If it weren't for the Chen Guogong Mansion standing behind her, if it weren't for the Chen Guogong Mansion still having the military power in the northwest in her hands, how would she be able to live safely until now? She has never seen anything dirty and bloody in the palace in her life, and she no longer dares to trust anyone.
Seeing that it had aroused the sadness of Empress Dowager Chen, Princess Huihe didn't dare to mention it again, so she only changed the topic and said: "Shuanghua, this girl, I don't know where to go crazy, and I also indulge her on weekdays, but now she is even more lawless." There is no need for a princess's mansion in this palace, but is it a place where you can run around? ”
"Xu is going to play with Wanhua." Only then did Empress Dowager Chen show a little smile on her face, "Don't look at how they fight and make trouble every day, but they can still play together." ”
The eldest princess Huihe said: "No, it's a blood relative." ”
Empress Dowager Chen's eyes flashed, but she stopped talking.
At this time, Empress Xiao and Gu Qingwan got on the sedan chair back to Yongyan Palace, and they were silent. It wasn't until she entered the inner hall of Yongyan Palace that Queen Xiao waved everyone away, and then she spoke: "Today's matter, I also said something important, we are a family, how can there be a reason to let outsiders see jokes, you should not have happened." ”
Seeing that Empress Xiao glanced at her, Gu Qingwan snorted coldly: "Forgive Qingwan for being stupid, the queen mother opened her mouth and asked me to act as if nothing had happened, if the queen mother asked about the eldest princess, how should I answer?" The queen's words were so tough, as if the fault was on me. I, Gu Qingwan, have always sat up straight, anyway, it's not my fault in this matter, and I'm not afraid when she asks. ”
"You ......" Empress Xiao stretched out her hand and pointed at Gu Qingwan, and only spoke after a long while, "You don't have to rely on the protection of the Queen Mother, so you have to inch in front of me." ”
"I naturally know what the queen said." If it is about cynicism, no one can compare to Gu San's girl, she has a mouth, and what she says is a little mean.
"When Wanhua told me about it at the palace banquet yesterday, I didn't pay much attention to it, but I didn't expect to learn such good news today." Gu Qingwan smiled a little maliciously, "According to me, this is a good thing, Shuanghua is the daughter of the eldest princess and the granddaughter of the queen mother, and there are still a few people of the right age in the world who are more noble than her in terms of identity and status." ”
"Besides, I also know that the queen mother loves Shuanghua and He'er very much, if this pair of heart-to-heart flesh kisses, the happiest person is the queen mother." Glancing around quietly, Gu Qingwan raised her voice again, "The queen mother is from a big family, of course, she understands filial piety better than Qingwan, the queen mother is happy, and the queen mother should be even happier." As soon as I mentioned this matter, my mother scolded me, it didn't make sense. ”
"Could it be that Niangniang disagrees with this matter very much, if you don't agree, you can go to the eldest princess Huihe and say, what is it to be angry with me."
Empress Xiao was already angry, and now when she heard this, her whole person trembled a little.
"If the queen mother doesn't want to say it, I'll go to Ci'an Palace and tell the story." Gu Qingwan raised her feet and left, "I don't want to do the black pot thing." I have a straight temperament, if the words are not good, please don't be surprised. ”
"Don't go, you come back for me!" Empress Xiao scolded, and when she saw that Gu Qingwan insisted on leaving, she hurriedly shouted, "Someone, stop Princess Rui." (To be continued......)
