Chapter 388: Kowtow to make amends
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Wei Yanran glanced at Gu Chengyu quietly, but seeing that there was no joke on his face, it seemed that he really planned to throw these two ladies into the lake.
Now it's a cold winter, and the lake water at this time is simply cold to the bone, if you let these two delicate and noble mothers go into the water, I'm afraid you won't want to get out of the palace in three or two months.
And provoking Gu Chengyu means offending Concubine Hai, and now the entire harem is controlled by Concubine Hai, and the living standards of these two ladies will plummet in the future.
"Your Highness is joking, this is a cold winter wax moon, if you jump down, how can the two of you stand it in this palace?" Concubine Ke and Wang Guiren's faces immediately turned pale, and they nervously pinched the handkerchiefs in their hands and took a step back in horror.
"Does this king look like someone who likes to joke like that in the eyes of the two mothers?" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows evilly, and then laughed presumptuously, "I'll give you ten breaths, if you refuse to jump this king, you will send someone to forcibly throw you down, and then it will not be this king who will lose face." ”
Looking at the man's crumbling body, Wei Yanran frowned a little worriedly, after all, these two are Gu Chengyu's nominal concubines, is it really okay for him to be so arrogant and domineering in the palace?
"Otherwise, they don't plan to do anything to me." It's not that Wei Yanran is soft-hearted, but the current situation is too refreshing, even if they retaliate, they will cause trouble for themselves.
Especially Gu Chengyu, he will definitely let others find an opportunity to use this matter as a reason to attack him.
Wei Yanran opened her mouth to intercede for them, and Concubine Ke and Wang Guiren finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not have the slightest gratitude to Wei Yanran in their hearts.
Knowing that Wei Yanran was doing this for his own good, Gu Chengyu frowned, and then nodded reluctantly, "It's okay not to let you jump into the lake, but this matter is not so easy to expose." ”
Narrowing his eyes dangerously, Gu Chengyu gave a faint look to the eunuch next to him, and the latter sent someone to restrain Concubine Ke and Wang Guiren, "This king wants you to kowtow to the county lord and admit your mistakes." ”
Gu Chengyu just wants to help Wei Yanran in the palace, otherwise if he is not in the palace, wouldn't everyone be able to step on Wei Yanran.
Although the conditions were changed, this kind of behavior was equally humiliating, but Gu Chengyu's patience had reached the extreme, he waved his hand lightly, and the eunuch standing next to Concubine Ke and Wang Guiren kicked at their knees, forcing them to kneel down immediately.
"If you want to make amends, you don't need this king to teach you." Seeing the stubbornness on the faces of the two of them, Gu Chengyu's eyes suddenly crossed a touch of fierceness, and then lightly moved his gaze to the lake, "Or do you prefer to jump into the lake than to make amends, if this is the case, this king can also satisfy you." ”
The original unwilling mood immediately turned into panic under the pressure of Gu Chengyu's authority, Wang Guiren couldn't bear it at first, and hurriedly kowtowed his head, "It's the concubine's fault, and please don't worry about the concubine." ”
Let a harem concubine apologize in public and admit her mistake, there is no second person except Wei Yanran.
Originally, Wei Yanran wanted to lean sideways and only accept half a courtesy, but Gu Chengyu's gaze was too strong for her to refuse his kindness.
Since Gu Chengyu wants to help her establish her authority, then Wei Yanran will make a high profile.
Sighing softly, Wei Yanran endured the etiquette of Wang Guiren and Concubine Ke, and then the two left in a hurry with Gu Chengyu's permission.
The atmosphere in the imperial garden suddenly relaxed, Gu Chengyu scratched his head with a smile, and then said to Wei Yanran with a harmless face: "Sister Wei is okay, right?" In the future, if you encounter these short-sighted things in the palace again, you can do whatever you want, and I will be responsible for the consequences. ”
Smiled helplessly, Wei Yanran spread her hands, and then looked at the palace maid who was standing on the side of the concubine, "I'm afraid I'm missing the time to see Niangniang today, you can take me over as soon as possible, so as not to make Niangniang wait for a long time." ”
"Yes."
The palace maid glanced at Gu Chengyu a little worriedly, afraid that the latter would come out and make some trouble, but until her voice fell, Gu Chengyu didn't speak, and the palace maid was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but after she and Wei Yanran took two steps, Gu Chengyu also followed.
"Lord Wang, it's my mother-in-law who wants to see the county lord." tactfully reminded Gu Chengyu, the palace maid just hoped that Gu Chengyu would leave, but the latter raised her eyebrows lightly, and then looked at her unhappily.
"This king has been in Yong'an Palace for so long, and he finally came out to relax, can't he still go to visit Concubine Shu?"
The palace maid was stunned by Gu Chengyu's words, and suddenly had nothing to say, so she could only take Wei Yanran and Gu Chengyu to the palace together.
Walking side by side with Wei Yanran, as for the palace maid, she had already been far away from them under Gu Chengyu's gaze from time to time, and the young man lowered his head with the help of arranging his cuffs, and then moved his lips.
"Sister Wei must be careful of Concubine Shu, although she does not fight or rob, she has never suffered a loss in this harem, and she also has a certain place in her father's heart."
Being able to get such a solemn warning from Gu Chengyu is enough to show what kind of power Concubine Shuniang has, Wei Yanran nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I will always be vigilant and will not let her find a loophole." ”
After walking for a while, the two came to the palace of the concubine, and the palace maid took the lead in reporting it, and after a while, the concubine greeted her with a graceful attitude.
Although she doesn't look as dazzling as Concubine Hai, the gentleness between her eyebrows makes people look very comfortable, and if it is the first time she sees her, I am afraid it will be easy to let down her vigilance.
"I've seen the lady lady."
"I've seen the lady concubine."
After the two of them greeted Concubine Shu, she smiled gently, as if she was not surprised by Gu Chengyu's arrival at all.
"Hurry up, how can you two meet in the palace." Stuffed the stove in her hand into Wei Yanran's hand, and Concubine Shu kindly took Wei Yanran's hand and pulled her into the inner hall.
Gu Chengyu, who was behind, touched his nose and followed.
"On the way, I met Concubine Ke Niangniang and Wang Guiren, which delayed for a while and made Niangniang wait for a long time." Wei Yanran moved her nose, secretly guessing what kind of incense Concubine Shu used and why the fragrance on her body was so strong.
"The two of them have also recently become arrogant in the palace, so they didn't do anything excessive to the princess." Concubine Shu pulled Wei Yanran to sit down together, then ordered a chair on the side to signal Gu Chengyu to sit down too, and then ordered the palace maid to serve tea and snacks and warmly entertain the two of them.
