After the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, because Gu Qingwan was injured, Queen Chen not only exempted her from going to the palace on the first and fifteenth days of every month to ask for peace, but also specially sent her grandmother out of the palace to visit every ten days and half a month. Gu Qingwan was naturally happy to see it, and she had been raising it for more than two months, like this.

Although she had never entered the palace, she still inquired about the news in the palace from time to time.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was rumored in Yongyan Palace that the female official Haoyue fell into the water and died, and Queen Chen buried her. It's just that I was grateful for Haoyue's many years of service, and I sent someone to Haoyue's ancestral home to find her parents and clansmen, saying that she wanted to treat them well.

Haoyue's ancestral home is Yanzhou in the northwest, and she entered the palace when she was a teenager, and it has been thirteen years now, and it is very normal for time to change. Empress Chen's people did not bring any good news from Yanzhou, and Haoyue's parents had moved out of Yanzhou more than ten years ago, saying that they were going south. As for where it went, there is no way to know.

Although Empress Chen had already guessed this in her heart, it was inevitable that there was still an evil fire, so at the suggestion of Princess Huihe, she cleaned up the palace maids and servants of Yongyan Palace.

For Empress Chen, it is natural that she would rather kill by mistake than let go, so there are many innocent people in Yongyan Palace who have been implicated by Haoyue and Cuidi, and everyone is in danger for a while.

Since then, Empress Chen has also changed her previous way of doing things in moderation, and has competed with Concubine Xian everywhere. Empress Chen threw her face at Concubine Xian everywhere in the palace, and the Chen Guogong Mansion openly tore her face with the Zhiguo Mansion in the court.

Emperor Yufeng had a judgment in his heart about the matter of Cuidi, and this time he was naturally biased towards Empress Chen's side, but it was just that.

Not only because Cui Di is dead, there is no other human and physical evidence directly pointing at Concubine Xian, but more importantly, Emperor Yufeng needs this delicate sense of balance between Empress Chen and Concubine Xian.

After Empress Chen recorded Prince Jing and Zheng Rui under her name, Emperor Yufeng paid a little more attention to the prince Ke from Concubine Xian, and secretly suppressed the Chen Guogong Mansion several times, preventing Empress Chen and the Chen Guogong Mansion from becoming bigger.

And after Gu Qingwan alluded to Concubine Xian's desire to provoke the relationship between Empress Chen and Prince Jing, Emperor Yufeng was worried that Empress Chen's side would be disheartened. There was no time to check and balance the Xian Concubine faction, so he connived at the suppression of the Xian Concubine by Empress Chen and the Chen Guogong Mansion. But Emperor Yufeng has a degree in his heart, and he definitely doesn't want the virtuous concubine to decline.

And the Chen Guogong Mansion and the Zhiguo Mansion openly tore their faces, but Emperor Yufeng was happy to see it.

Some of these news were inquired about by Zheng Rui, some of them were mentioned to Gu Qingwan when Princess Jing came to Rui's mansion, and some of them were "inadvertently" mentioned by Empress Chen's grandmother when she came to visit the mansion. It's just that these are just pastimes when she is recuperating from her injuries.

And Gu Qingwan was injured because of her arm, and the Mid-Autumn Festival night tour that had been planned with Zheng Rui early was stillborn.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Qingwan received mooncakes and fruits from the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and it was a housekeeper lady next to the eldest lady who scooped up the eldest lady's handwritten letter. passed on the words of Old Madam Gu again, asking her to return to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion tomorrow for a reunion.

This is the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty to return to Ning, and the girl who left the pavilion reunited at her husband's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The next day, I went back to my mother's house to visit the festival. Since it is a custom, it is naturally something that everyone knows, and the eldest lady and the old lady Gu deliberately let the lady in charge go on this trip, presumably because they were afraid that Gu Qingwan would simply push off the matter by taking advantage of the injury.

Except for Gu Qingwan, who had been learning housekeeping from the eldest lady's side for a few months before leaving the cabinet, she had little contact with the eldest lady on weekdays, and the relationship had always been very weak. And Mrs. Gu has been indifferent to Miss Gu since she was a child, and now they are so attentive, except for her important identity as Princess Rui. I'm more afraid that they want to ask about the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet.

What happened in Fengzhu Garden on the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, except for the concubines in the harem and the ladies who happened to meet that day, only a few people faintly knew the situation. The ladies who spend their lives in the inner house. Which one is not a human spirit, and the mouth is strict one by one.

The people in the Yuanhou Mansion were afraid that it was hearsay and felt that it was different from the facts, so they thought about simply asking Gu Qingwan about the case.

Zheng Rui didn't agree with Gu Qingwan to take this trip. He also said that he accompanied Gu Qingwan back to the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, but was refuted by Gu Qingwan. The eldest lady has a close relationship with Princess Huai, and her attitude represents the attitude of King Huai's mansion, and this trip is a must-go.

As for not letting Zheng Rui accompany her, it was purely for Zheng Rui's plan. Zheng Rui is now a "fool" in the eyes of everyone, but he is also a prince, if he follows Gu Qingwan to Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, then the Gu family will have to let people accompany Zheng Rui to talk.

She knew that Zheng Rui was not mentally deficient, and now she would rather him stay in King Rui's mansion than pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of outsiders.

On the sixteenth day, Gu Qingwan and Zheng Rui had breakfast together, ignored Zheng Rui's muttering, and took a carriage and went straight to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

When I returned to the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, I naturally had to go to Mrs. Gu's Tansong Courtyard first. Before Gu Qingwan went in, she heard the words and smiles inside, so it was not lively. The maid who led the way in front opened the curtain to let Gu Qingwan in, and a voice came from inside: "The third sister is back, and the old lady has read it dozens of times this morning." ”

Gu Qingwan followed the voice and looked over, but it was Gu Qingshu who she hadn't seen for half a year.

Gu Qingshu Gu Qingwan is three years older, Gu Qingwan looked at her, but she had risen an inch higher half a year ago, and her figure looked a little slim before. The original Gu Qingshu still had some nobility on her face, but now it has been polished and smooth, and the smile on her face is much gentler.

Gu Qingwan still had a good impression of Gu Qingshu, and when she saw Gu Qingwan walking towards her, she smiled and called "big sister".

Gu Qingshu smiled and bent her eyes, hurriedly took Gu Qingwan's hand, and took her to where the old lady Gu was, and said with a smile: "I haven't been serving by the old lady's side for two years, and the old lady has forgotten me completely, and now I only think about the third sister in my heart." Third sister, you have to talk to the old lady well, but you can't forget about me if you have you. ”

Before Gu Qingwan could speak, a voice inside said, "Yo, who knocked over the vinegar jar, how can I smell a sour smell." ”

Everyone laughed, Gu Qingwan glanced at the room, except for the second girl, Gu Qingya, the girls of the Gu family were all here. And Fang Cai's words to make fun of Gu Qingshu were said by Gu Qingyan, who was sitting beside Mrs. Gu with a well-behaved face.

Gu Qingwan smiled silently, but she didn't answer everyone's words, her eyes turned to the side, and she saw Brother Qiao, who was placed on the kang and followed the giggle when she saw everyone laughing. She stepped forward to say hello to Mrs. Gu, and then to the girls of the Gu family one by one, and then sat down on the kang.

Gu Qingyan's face immediately changed.

Just now Gu Qingshu came back, and she sat down with Mrs. Gu after Mrs. Gu gave her a seat, but Gu Qingwan was here, Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, so she spontaneously found a seat and sat down. And Old Madam Gu and Gu Qingshu both looked like they were taken for granted, which really made Gu Qingyan feel angry.

Is it because of the identity of the princess that she can't even look down on the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion? Gu Qingyan clenched the hand in her sleeve, she would definitely not lose to Gu Qingwan. Gu Qingwan has nothing to be arrogant except for this important identity as a princess.

But she is different, her future husband, whether it is family or character, appearance and talent, is outstanding in everything. When Gu Qingwan saw that the marriage she couldn't ask for finally fell into her hands, what kind of expression would it be, Gu Qingyan faintly looked forward to it.

What Gu Qingyan thought, Gu Qingwan didn't care at all, she sat on the couch, then stretched out her hand and pinched Brother Qiao'er's face, lowered her voice and smiled: "I haven't seen you for half a year, Brother Qiao is so old, the third aunt is almost unrecognizable to you." ”

He was only half a year old when Gu Qingwan last saw Brother Qiao'er, and now he is almost a year old, but he has changed his appearance. If she hadn't seen it in the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, she would have been unrecognizable.

And Gu Qingshu, who was standing on the side, saw Gu Qingwan like this, and her face softened a little: "Children look the same every day, and you will know when you have it in the future." ”

So Mrs. Gu, who was left aside by Gu Qingwan, finally had an entry point, so she asked a lot of questions about "why hasn't your stomach moved yet", but she was afraid that there were still a few girls in the Gu family who had not yet left the cabinet, and stopped the topic in time.

Gu Qingwan teased Brother Qiao'er while talking to everyone piecemeal, but she learned that the prince of Huaiwang was going to marry in two days, and it was naturally Qiao Sixiang, the daughter of the Qiao family who was the secretary of the military department.

Just from Princess Huai's attitude towards Qiao Sixiang, Gu Qingwan knew that this family affair was inseparable. She originally thought that Huai Wangfu was going to pull the steamed bun book, and this family affair would be decided quickly, but she didn't expect it to be delayed until August.

Huai Wangfu is really cautious and cautious everywhere, and he can calm his mind.

The relationship between the fourth girl, Gu Qingrao, and the sixth master of the Qiao family is just a temptation between the Huaiwang Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the relationship between Candle and Qiao Sixiang really played a role in marriage.

Gu Qingwan thought about it, and her eyes glanced slightly at the fourth girl Gu Qingrao who was sitting far away, she didn't know what she was talking to the sixth girl with a wooden face, and she didn't seem to hear Old Madam Gu's words at all.

"It's not just Huaiwang's Mansion, but there is also a happy event in our Mansion." Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Qingyan, who was flushed, and said with a smile, "It's your fifth sister's family affair, the Liguo Mansion will come to our mansion on the 28th of this month, and the one who is determined is the eldest son of the Liguo Mansion." ”

Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows, last time Xie Ningxin said that Duchess Liguo had such intentions, she gritted her teeth angrily, but she didn't expect that this family affair would be completed after all. I don't know if Xie Ningxin was so angry that she jumped to her feet after learning about this.

"It's a happy event." Gu Qingwan said a perfunctory sentence casually, and then stopped talking.

The disappointed look on Gu Qingyan's face flashed, and Gu Qingwan's attitude was too flat, which made her suddenly feel a sense of loss.
