Chapter 177: Sister Gu
The two Gu nobles in the palace now are Gu Su, who was once pregnant, and Gu Liman, the biological mother of the Twelve Princes.
Originally, they were different, but Gu Su was the first to get pregnant but failed to give birth, the queen was worried at that time, and Gu Liman gave birth to the twelve princes at a critical moment, so the two sisters, who had a disparity in status at home, are now on an equal footing.
For this reason, Gu Su and Gu Liman have always been a little discordant, plus a Gu Shao who is caught in the middle of fanning the flames, they are obviously three sisters who are related by blood, but not a single day in the past two years has been peaceful.
Gu Zhen also told his mother's family: "When I arranged for them to live together, I thought that they were all their own people, so they could take care of them." Now I look at it, it looks like I'm going to have a grudge. Otherwise, let them separate, but now the concubine is favored, and the concubine and the concubine are all towards her, that is, the virtuous concubine is vague, and she also has the meaning of repairing with the concubine. The concubines below, even if they didn't look at climbing the Xuanqing Palace, they didn't dare to offend the Xiaoyun clan. They're in one place, and I can still watch them, but if they're separated in three places, I'm afraid I won't be able to see them. β
Although Gu Su and the sisters didn't come to the mustard, they were not stupid.
This palace is not a good place, even if the queen is a sister, she can't stand the emperor's preference for the concubine, and as the main position, how can there be a fuel-efficient lamp?
In case the queen doesn't take good care of her after separation, she doesn't even know how she died!
Therefore, when I heard this, I insisted on making a gesture of sisterly affection in front of the queen, saying: "How can my sisters really be like enemies when they make trouble behind closed doors?" Sister, don't think too much, just let us live together. β
In fact, this is also what the queen meant, the queen doesn't want her three young and beautiful sisters to unite.
This is not a good thing for her, not to mention that Gu Liman is the biological mother of the twelve princes, the queen relied on the family to ascend to the phoenix throne, and the family can support her and other daughters.
Especially the queen felt that it had not been smooth since then, Chunjia didn't say once or twice that she was incompetent and couldn't control the Sixth Palace, the queen was wronged, and it was difficult not to worry about it, even the Gu family would think so.
In this case, it is good for the three of Gu Liman to fight together.
Not only did it seem that they were not good enough to understand the general situation, and they were not suitable for the rear position than themselves, but also let them spy on each other and be hostile, so that they would not have the intention of replacing her sister.
The left and right Yunfeng Huang didn't seem to pay much attention to this excitement, Gu Zhen asked people to suppress the news and not spread it, so how could the sisters tear it up...... Just don't make a big fuss.
So at first, I didn't take it seriously after listening to the palace people's advice, so I just asked lightly: "Is there a fight?" What's wrong again? β
These three younger sisters, at first, Gu Shao and Gu Liman were all Gu Su with the best background.
But after Gu Su slipped the baby and Gu Liman gave birth to the prince, even if Gu Liman's attitude was still very respectful at first, he did not mean to despise the two cousins for the credit of giving birth to a child, Gu Su was jealous and regretful of his child, and his attitude towards her inevitably became bad. Moreover, the reason why Gu Su had a slippery tire at the beginning had something to do with Gu Liman, at least it passed through Gu Liman's hands. Gu Shao was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she provoked here and there, and gradually Gu Liman couldn't bear it anymore and began to fight back...... This isn't the first time we've gotten into trouble.
"Niangniang, this fight is still the same as before, just caused by a little quarrel." The palace man looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "However, the big Gu nobleman accidentally scratched the face of the little Gu nobleman, and it seems that he also hurt his eyes. β
Because the sisters are both nobles, in order to distinguish them, the older Gu Su is called Da Gu, and the younger Gu Liman is called Xiao Gu.
"......" The queen's originally casual posture froze instantly, and after a while, she said in a hoarse voice, "How many times have they quarreled before, and nothing like this has ever happened...... What a miss?! β
At this time, she was already a little suspicious of Empress Dowager Yuan.
After all, it's too coincidental, as she said, these three sisters pinched it so many times before and didn't miss, why did they rush to find her for the matter of Qingdie, and then they missed?
You must know that Gu Su slipped a tire at the beginning, but in fact, he had a vague relationship with Empress Dowager Yuan.
It's just that the queen has no evidence, and in Chunjia's mind, a prince who is a concubine can't be compared with the Empress Dowager Yuan at all, so she has no intention of pursuing it, and in the end, it won't be done.
Now that something has happened to her sister, how can the queen not suspect that Empress Dowager Yuan is angry but the emperor is calm, and she will take Gu Su and Gu Liman to make a knife for Concubine An?
The palace man lowered his head and whispered: "There is a mess over there now, and they are all asking Niangniang to come over and call the shots...... Specifically, the big Gu nobleman is frightened now, and the little Gu nobleman can't cry, and he can't speak intermittently. β
"What about Gu Shao?!" The queen asked in a cold voice, "She usually sows discord, and this matter must be inseparable, what can she say?" β
"Gu Cairen said that she was not in the house at the time, so she didn't know anything." After all, Gu Shao entered the palace with Gu Su and Gu Liman, and after the latter two were promoted to the throne due to pregnancy, the queen was cried by her several times, felt annoyed, and was also promoted.
Anyway, just like Yun Fenghuang's opinion when he entered the palace, this kind of promotion of low-level palace concubines is a matter of one sentence for high positions, and it is meaningless.
At this moment, the queen sneered when she heard it: "She doesn't know?!" Bengong usually gave Gu Su Gu Li a few things, and she knew everything clearly! These two sisters made such a big noise, she didn't know it?! So what does she know!? β
Spit out, the queen said, "This matter can't be spread outside, so they all shut up, and then send the trusted imperial doctor to treat Gu Liman after dark." When the time comes, let Gu Shao roll over and tell the palace the ins and outs! If you can't say it, then it's useless for Bengong to look at her! β
After all, except for Gu Su and Gu Liman when they were pregnant, the queen's status was noble, how could she suddenly go to visit a few sisters who were palace concubines in person? At this time, she went, and I am afraid that the six palaces will have to pay attention to the past.
"Nope." The queen said how to deal with it, and after thinking about it, she was not at ease, and said in a low voice, "If this thing is made by that old, I'm afraid I won't wait for the palace to hit it?" Such. β
She looked up at the palace people, "You go again, let those three bastards confess to a pair, and only say that Riman's injury is because the sisters are playing carelessly...... When the palace separated them before, didn't they say that although they were usually noisy and noisy, in the end, their own sisters broke their bones and tendons, and then they didn't make love? In that case, it's time to prove to your family that they mean what they mean! If the queen mother is asked to grab the handle, the palace will be sad at that time, and they will be okay?! β
Despite this, the queen is still not at ease, after all, Empress Dowager Yuan is not a good stubble.
She walked back and forth in the palace twice, and then instructed a palace person to pass a message to her sister: "They keep an eye on the people around them, even if they are close servants who marry into the palace, they can't relax their vigilance!" If there's something wrong, don't get caught up in it! β
At this time, I regret that I neglected to pay attention to these sisters, in case they are too stupid and don't know if they are cheated, she doesn't know if she can succeed in the aftermath?
"Your Majesty......" The queen suddenly thought of what Chunjia said before, so that she thought about her grievances and anger when she was in trouble, but learned from him, and thought about what to do, not why or why.
She bit her lip and thought quickly, "What does Your Majesty want this palace to do at this time?" β
When the queen was figuring out Chunjia's thoughts, Yun Fenghuang was holding a warm drink and asked Chen Jing idly: "My face is scratched, and my eyes may not be able to be saved?" What did you say to Gu Su to make her do the same to her sister? β
"Niangniang, the slave and maid really don't talk much." Chen Jing bowed and said cautiously, "It just hints at the great Gu nobles, there are so many people in the palace, especially after the mother is happy, Your Majesty basically does not go elsewhere." It has been a few years since the nobles of Dagu entered the palace, and it was not a stunning one, so if you go on like this, you are afraid that you will be old? Even if she has the protection of the queen's mother, she can live well in the palace, but she has no children under her knees, and there is no guarantee in the end, and His Majesty can't think of her at all! The most important thing is that the queen mother has a sister-in-law of the Ping family and Xiao Gu Gui, and she doesn't expect her to help give birth to children, where will she help introduce her to Your Majesty? β
"In this way, if the Great Gu nobles want His Majesty to remember, they can only try it themselves!"
"The person who arranged for the slave and maid to go over just reminded the noble person of the Great Gu and asked her to make a fuss about her lost imperial heir, so as to arouse His Majesty's pity...... Who knew she was so ruthless? β
After all, Gu Su's miscarriage at the beginning was not a small stimulus to the queen.
Especially later, Ping Xianyi became pregnant, but there was no news from the Gu sisters, and the queen was a lot haggard during that time.
Although Ping Xianyi gave birth to the tenth prince very cooperatively handed over the child to the queen, you can see Chunjia that the bloodline is still very important.
The Gu family didn't want to share the glory and status of Qingci Palace with the Ping family after all the hard work.
This old thing is brought up again, and it is not difficult to stimulate the queen on this eye.
β¦β¦ As a result, Gu Su didn't know what to think, and suddenly made things bigger.
Hearing this, Yun Fenghuan couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth: "Maybe Xiao Gu's status was not as good as her in the past, and the emperor's favor was not as good as her, but because of the twelve princes, not only is she equal now, but her future is even above her, so she can't stand it." β
Chen Jing hurriedly said: "What Niangniang said is true. β
"It's just that this Gu Su is also reckless, no matter how she says it, her sister is also the biological mother of the Twelve Princes, even if she was treated higher than Gu Liman at home and in front of the queen before, now for the sake of the Twelve Princes, whether the queen will continue to favor her may not." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "This is also a hard worker!" When she gave birth to a prince, what happened to Gu Liman? What else is the matter with the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes? is a mistake, the child is gone, and his future is gone. has to be overtaken by Gu Liman, even if he is a little impulsive now, he doesn't have to be harsh. β
Let Chen Jing, "Since you have reminded her once, you might as well remind her again." If the queen refuses to spare her, she can come to the palace for help! Although Bengong is a little anxious, but now that she is pregnant, she will not be stingy to pull her for the sake of the heir in her womb! β
Chen Jing comprehended: "The slave will send someone to mention the Dagu nobles, but I hope that the Dagu Guifei will not live up to the cultivation of the mother." β
Next, similar to what Yun Fenghuan thought, Gu Su, as the cousin who has the closest blood and gets along with Gu Zhen a lot, has a higher status in front of Gu Zhen and in the Gu family than Gu Shao and Gu Liman.
But that was before.
Gu Liman's mother is expensive with her son, even if she is a noble person like Gu Su, the weight is not comparable to Gu Su.
After all, although the Twelve Princes are still young now, they don't remember much, and they don't know that Gu Liman is his biological mother, but he will always grow up.
At that time, if you know that your biological mother has suffered such a big loss, and the perpetrator is taken lightly, can you not get into trouble with Gu Zhen?
Maybe this prince is the kind of reasonable person who can understand the queen's feelings for Gu Su and her estrangement from Gu Liman...... However, the queen will most likely not bet on such illusory odds.
The main Gu Zhen's feelings for Gu Su are only deeper than Gu Shao and Gu Liman, and they have not yet reached the point of desperately defending her.
So the queen first used both soft and hard to let them confess well to suppress the matter.
followed by a promise that Gu Liman would find an opportunity to appease her as a concubine, and ...... to Gu Su She didn't show up, and she didn't even let the palace maid who passed the message say a word to her.
"Noble, I'm afraid that I don't plan to be lenient on you." The palace people who were arranged by Chen Jing took advantage of the situation and told Gu Su in private, "Even, I will let you ...... Let you disappear silently so that things can settle down quickly! β
Gu Su didn't believe it at first, after all, because of her father, she was spoiled by her family since she was a child, and she felt that Gu Zhen would be angry again, and she wouldn't want her own life.
So how can the queen explain to her mother-in-law and biological mother?
Besides, they are cousins, will Gu Zhen bear it?
"Do you want to say such naΓ―ve things now?" The palace man sighed, "If the queen really treats you as a sister, as for you are still just a nobleman?" In terms of background, are you any worse than today's Concubine Shude? If you want to say that the queen can't lift people, how did the Ping family achieve the lord of the first house? Judging from the maid, the queen has been guarding against you from the beginning! After all, you are also the granddaughter of the old lady! is younger than the queen's mother, and more beautiful than the queen's mother. Originally...... If it weren't for the fact that the little prince was gone, you said that if you gave birth to the little prince, wouldn't you be more qualified than the queen mother to sit in that seat? β
"Since the queen doesn't treat you as a sister, how can she let you go now? Don't forget that the twelve princes will always grow up, he is not born to the queen, can the queen not coax it? β
The voice was low, "It is said that the situation on the side of Xiao Gu Guiren is not very good, you say, if Xiao Gu Guiren is gone this time, ......"
Gu Su's face changed when he heard this, and he finally reacted: The twelve princes were not born to the queen, although the queen did not go to her mother and keep her son when Gu Liman gave birth, but this does not mean that the queen hopes that Mrs. Gu Liman will live peacefully and become the second queen mother.
It may even be because Gu Zhen has high hopes for the Twelve Princes and doesn't want to have any problems with this adopted son, so he didn't do anything to Gu Liman.
But now, her actions gave the queen an excellent reason.
sacrificing a cousin who doesn't pay so much attention in exchange for the life of Xiao Gu Guiren, even if the twelve princes are not born to the queen, can they not treat the queen wholeheartedly in the future?
If Gu Su were changed, she would do the same!
In addition, the queen did promote Ping Xianyi as a concubine, but she always held the three sisters of her mother's family in the concubine position...... Gu Su's breathing suddenly became short!
"Your honor, we can't sit still." The palace people continued, and Gu Su could listen to it completely, "We have to think of a way, and we have to act quickly, otherwise, the servant is afraid that it will be too late!" β
Gu Su wanted to nod, but he was at a loss and said, "But the reason why I was able to enter the palace was because of my family and the queen's sister." Now that my sister wants to kill me, and the news can't reach the family, what can I do? β
"Noble people have forgotten that the queen is not alone in this palace?" The palace people quietly seduced, "Whether it is the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother, or the Imperial Concubine Niangniang, they are all masters who dare not slack off." And their relationship with the queen is not very good. Why don't you try to ask these two for help? Maybe they can solve the crisis of the nobles on a whim? β
"But I don't know these two at all." Gu Su was embarrassed, "Even if they are willing to help, now that the queen's sister is watching outside, how can the news be spread?" β
Gong said: "Nobleman, do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, it depends on whether the nobles dare to take risks!" β
β¦β¦ Half an hour later, the news of the Peach Palace where the Gu sisters lived quickly spread throughout the Sixth Palace!
