CHAPTER XLVII

Huashu Palace

Concubine Shu is the imperial concubine of the former emperor and has a son, who is now King Yu. At that time, the first emperor was very fond of the first queen, and Emperor Yueyang was made the crown prince early, and Concubine Shu's mother's family was only a waiter, and her background was not as good as that of the first queen, and her favor was not as good as that of the first queen. Knowing that he couldn't fight, he had a good heart, and although he couldn't compete for favor, his gentle and kind appearance never made the first emperor feel a little displeased.

Even let the first emperor set up Emperor Yueyang as the crown prince, and also crowned King Yu as the king, although there was no hope of fighting for the prince, but he did not treat their mother and son badly.

Concubine Shu is also a person who will examine the degree, and she is even more cautious in dealing with people, so even if King Yu is far away from the capital and has no real power in his hands, he also enjoys the honor of the concubine in this harem.

The palace is very luxurious, enter the palace, the most striking thing is the Buddha hall next to the main hall, I heard that Concubine Shu is dedicated to the Buddha, this is the Emperor Yang of the Moon specially for Concubine Shu to repair, the air in the house is scattered with a faint agarwood, gentle and quiet, so that people's hearts can be calmed down instantly.

Hand-copied Buddhist scriptures can be seen everywhere, but the palace under the luxurious exterior creates an atmosphere of indisputability.

But if you want to use this to show that she has no ambition, Gu Shengge will never believe it. King Yu is still outside, but as a mother, there are only two situations to stay in this capital. One is to make a comeback, so that it is convenient to encircle the forces in the capital for his distant son. There is also a kind of worship to the Buddha without distractions, but if she sincerely enters the Buddha and ignores the world, what she is seeking is not self-cultivation, meditation and practice without anyone disturbing her, she will not go to such great lengths to summon herself into the palace.

So the first one is more likely, of course this is just speculation.

"Princess Yuan has arrived," the voice of the palace people sounded, and before Gu Shengge stepped into the main palace, he heard the crisp laughter of a young girl from the palace, this voice was very unfamiliar, and Gu Shengge had never heard it.

"See the concubine Niangniang," Gu Shengge walked into the palace dignifiedly, and what caught his eye was a picture of harmony.

The graceful and luxurious one sitting in the center must be Concubine Shu of Qiyuan, with gentle and kind eyebrows, it can be seen that although she was not a country and a city when she was young, she was also a rare beautiful woman. Dressed in ordinary but noble palace clothes, the skin is extremely well maintained, and the face is so young that people sigh at first sight that the years are really eccentric.

And next to Concubine Shu stood a young girl, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a delicate little face painted with delicate makeup, a gorgeous peach-colored brocade dress on her body, and a violet light veil in her hand, which added a bit of gorgeousness. There are golden precious steps on the head, one of which is also inlaid with a huge pearl, which is extremely delicate and luxurious.

It's really rich, Gu Shengge couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Hurry up and excuse me, give me a seat. I have long heard that the third princess of Loulan and Loulan are beautiful, and when I saw it today, I didn't expect to look so captivating. Concubine Shu looked at it with a smile, turned around and instructed Gonggong Li on the side: "Serve tea." Gonggong Li respectfully walked to Gu Shengge's side, took the tea and lightly placed it on the table, and said carefully: "Princess Niangniang, please." ”

Gu Shengge nodded lightly, and Concubine Shu couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw this scene, but she immediately covered it up, showed a kind smile, and then pretended to be angry and said: "The princess has been married to Qiyuan for so long, why didn't she enter the palace to see the mourning family." There was also a little grievance in his tone.

"Don't be angry, the princess has just gotten married, and most of them don't know the rules yet," the young woman said in a hurry. Gu Shengge's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she didn't seem to have provoked the girl in front of her in her memory, this sound like a defense for her, but it was sarcastic that she didn't understand the rules.

She had only been in Qiyuan for a long time, and there were only a handful of people she knew, why did so many people like to sarcastically mock her, Gu Shengge couldn't help but wonder.

"Nonsense, the princess is Princess Loulan, how can she not understand the rules," Concubine Shu's face immediately became serious, and she reprimanded the young girl, but she was not angry. The young girl hurriedly took Concubine Shu's hand and said coquettishly to Concubine Shu: "Yes, yes, yes, Lan's mouth is fast, and Concubine Shu scolds." ”

After listening to the little girl's words, Concubine Shu's serious face improved, and she scolded with a smile: "You, you! ”

Gu Shengge sat on the side and drank tea, quietly watching the two of them having fun, and did not intend to talk, at this time Concubine Shu said to the young girl beside her: "It's getting more and more unruly, why don't you say hello to the princess soon." ”

The young girl seemed a little reluctant, but her face was still very well-behaved, and she walked up to Gu Shengge obediently, "Hello princess." The tone was a little unkind, Gu Shengge glanced at it, and his eyes were not very good.

"Okay." Gu Shengge didn't look at her much, staring at the teacup in his hand. When the woman saw Gu Shengge answering casually, her heart was full of anger, and she finally endured it and retreated to Concubine Shu's side.

"The mourning family will call you Shengge" Concubine Shu is still always loving, "This is Miss Ye San of the Ye Xiang family, Ye Lanzhi." The two of you are not much different in age, so you should be compatible. ”

Gu Shengge said obediently: "The concubine is right," then looked at Ye Lanzhi and said with a smile: "Miss Ye is the daughter of the prime minister's family, and her tutor is naturally the best. ”

After Ye Lanzhi heard this, his smiling face immediately collapsed, and he was so angry in his heart that he was about to breathe fire, okay, you Gu Shengge, Miss Ben hasn't settled accounts with you yet, you dare to scold me for not understanding the rules!

Concubine Shu pretended not to understand the meaning of Gu Shengge's words, and said with a smile: "She is sensible, but this girl is usually spoiled by the mourning family, and she is a little arrogant." Shengge, don't worry about her. ”

"Concubine~" Ye Lanzhi pouted, looking aggrieved. Concubine Shu laughed when she saw it, "This girl can't listen to her." ”

At this time, Concubine Shu thought about something, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she said to Gu Shengge with a smile: "How do you get along with Ah Li, he doesn't like to be close to others since he was a child, and the mourning family and the emperor and empress have always been worried about his family affairs, and now with you who are so sensible, the mourning family is relieved." ”

Gu Shengge raised her head, just in time to meet Ye Lanzhi's eyes that she didn't have time to retract, Gu Shengge couldn't help but be stunned, she saw anger and unwillingness in Ye Lanzhi's eyes, and when Concubine Shu mentioned those two words, those eyes were even more obsessed with something that couldn't be hidden.

Intuition told her that Ye Lanzhi liked Ying. Then Ye Lan's hostile attitude today is understandable. Gu Shengge couldn't help but sigh, that person was really good at recruiting peach blossoms. Even if she recruits peach blossoms, she will be retributed.

Moreover, it seems that the peach blossom in front of me is still a headache.

Gu Shengge suddenly smiled, with a hint of shyness: "Back to the concubine, although the prince's personality is a little unapproachable, he is very good to the concubines." ”

After speaking, he looked at Ye Lanzhi with a vengeance, and his eyes were full of happiness. As soon as the words fell, let alone Ye Lanzhi, Concubine Shu was also stunned.

That's right, Gu Shengge did it on purpose, it was really much more ironic today, besides, although this Concubine Shu behaved very kindly and amiably, and looked very concerned about herself, in fact, every word of Concubine Shu was quietly provoking Ye Lanzhi's anger. This Concubine Shu is really not simple, it is impossible for her not to know Ye Lan's wishes, she wants to use Ye Lanzhi to suppress herself.

The faces of the two people in front of him were not very good, Gu Shengge's happy face suddenly flashed a trace of loneliness and self-deprecation, Ye Lanzhi was young and vigorous, and she was angry at this time, so naturally she would not notice, but Concubine Shu was different, she had lived in this harem for most of her life, and no detail could escape her eyes, she accurately captured Gu Shengge's emotions.

Fang Cai's shock had already been suppressed, and she knew it in her heart, she was naturally clear about the routines of harem women, and many times what she showed was not necessarily true, but what she unconsciously revealed was the truth. Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, she was now more confident that Gu Shengge would not be favored by King Yuan at all.

Gu Shengge looked at Concubine Shu's indifferent appearance, gently picked up the teacup, and tasted it slowly.
