209,
Xu Jiao wants revenge, but there is no one to rely on but Guan Jinghe.
Although Guan Jinghe was only the daughter of the prefect, she coaxed Princess Zhongyi well, not only let her live in the Zhongyi Mansion for a long time, but also brought her to the capital.
She was sold into the Zhongyi Palace, which was supposed to be sent to the bed of the Zhongyi King, but the Zhongyi King didn't look down on her until she met Guan Jinghe, and she was still a little useful to Guan Jinghe, so she wouldn't be thrown into the corner to fend for herself.
is useful to Guan Jinghe, or because of Zhou Yuxuan's cousin.
She lived in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, so she still knew a little about her cousin, and Guan Jinghe kept her and took her with her because of this.
She curried favor with Guan Jinghe like a dog, just to let Guan Jinghe take her back to the capital, she not only wanted to find trouble in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, but also to seek revenge on Princess Jin.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiao's eyes instantly turned red, and she raised her hand to sweep the rouge gouache in front of her to the ground.
If it weren't for Gu Nian, why wouldn't my cousin want her? How did she end up in such a field?
She looked at herself in the mirror, bit her lip, and suddenly stood up and walked towards Guan Jinghe's courtyard.
Guan Jinghe's only purpose in entering Beijing this time was to find Ruyi Langjun to marry.
She was raised by Princess Zhongyi's eyes above the top, none of those men in Zhongzhou she could look at, in a time when Zhou Yuxuan passed by Zhongzhou and visited King Zhongyi, she was shocked at a glance, and she knew what kind of man could be worthy of her.
Since Zhou Yuxuan is just a descendant of the Marquis Mansion in the capital, there must be many men in the capital who are better than Zhou Yuxuan.
However, her target is still on Zhou Yuxuan for the time being.
When she was thinking about how to let Princess Zhongyi take her to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion to have a look, the maid serving outside said that Xu Jiao was here.
She asked Xu Jiao to bring in, this Xu Jiao was just raised by her to tease the stuffy, and she is bored right now, so it's good to listen to what she says.
After Xu Jiao came in, she saw Guan Jinghe leaning lazily on the couch, and when she saw her, she said in a rambling voice, "What do you want to tell me about the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion?" ”
After Xu Jiao saluted her, she stood in front of the couch and said respectfully, "The slave suddenly remembered something and said it, and I hope the girl won't blame the slave for not saying it earlier." ”
Guan Jinghe looked at Xu Jiao with a smile, and said lazily, "Say it, as long as I am happy with what I say, I will spare you." ”
Xu Jiao hesitated, 'happy'? What she was about to say was very upset.
However, she still crossed her heart and said what she knew, "Girl, do you know why my cousin Zhou Yuxuan hasn't married a wife until now?" ”
Guan Jinghe sat up straight and said, "Why?" ”
"Because he once had a marriage contract with Princess Jin, but my aunt didn't like Princess Jin, so she tried her best to withdraw such a family affair.
Later, the marriage finally broke out, and my cousin decided not to marry. ”
Xu Jiao said slowly.
"In other words, your cousin has not married until now because of Princess Jin, and he likes Princess Jin?" Guan Jinghe's face sank.
Xu Jiao nodded, "My cousin has been guarding himself like a jade for the sake of Princess Jin, maybe there hasn't been a woman yet." ”
Guan Jinghe muttered in his mouth, "Princess Jin......"
Next, Guan Jinghe asked a lot of things about Princess Jin's thoughts, such as how she looks, what her preferences are, what her temper is, whether she is liked by others, and so on.
Xu Jiao picked up what she knew and said, but basically it was all praise, not depreciation.
Because of this, Guan Jinghe, who was even more exciting, wanted to see what the sweetheart who made Zhou Yuxuan hang on his heart looked like.
……
Because Gu Shi'an came back from the frontier, the eldest princess of the protectorate set up a dust washing banquet, Gu Nian naturally wanted to eat and drink, and Xu'er was picked up by the eldest princess a day in advance, saying that the eldest princess missed her great-grandson.
On the second day, Gu Niancai went to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and when she passed by Deyue Tower on the way, she asked the maid to go down and buy the peach blossom cake that Xu'er and Chen'er both liked.
Thinking about it, I personally got out of the carriage and picked out more than a dozen items, each of which contained a small bag.
The dim sum in Deyuelou is very good, not only the two little ones like it, but the eldest princess and Zhou Yuyan also like it, they all buy it, it is better to buy more.
She bought snacks and was about to return to the carriage, when she inadvertently looked up and saw a person in red and white coming not far away.
"Madame, but the princess of Jin?" Guan Jinghe got off the horse and asked with a smile.
Gu Nian didn't know the person in front of her, but she seemed to know herself, a very familiar look, but if you want to say that you are very familiar, you won't know each other.
She smiled, "Exactly, I don't know if the girl is ......"
Guan Jinghe didn't answer her culture, but looked up at the pastry shop behind her and smiled, "The princess is buying candy for Xiao Shizi?" ”
Gu Nian only felt that the other party was a little inexplicable, but she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, she still smiled and said, "The child is greedy, seeing the girl riding a horse, as if there is an emergency, I won't bother, I will go first." ”
Since the other party didn't answer, then she didn't have any interest in knowing, so she just ran into a stranger and said a few words.
Guan Jinghe looked at her and smiled, "Then I'll take the first step and make an appointment with the princess another day." ”
Gu Nian smiled, but she hoped not to see each other again, she was really not the kind of person who could make friends when she saw someone.
Guan Jinghe saw her get into the carriage, so he turned over and got on the horse, walked out a few steps and grabbed the reins and turned back.
The guards in the three circles inside and outside are all superb in their eyes and dignified bodies.
After reading it, it is really as Xu Jiao said, the King of Jin really protects this princess.
Guan Jinghe's hand pulling the reins tightened little by little.
can marry the hot King Jin when there is a marriage contract.
It seems that this princess of Jin is very knowledgeable about current affairs.
However, she is still bound to win Zhou Yuxuan.
Princess Jin is just the eldest daughter of a widow, and she was abducted, which can be described as infamous.
If she works hard, she should be able to make Zhou Yuxuan's eyes stay on her, right?
Gu Nian naturally didn't take Guan Jinghe to heart, but when she bought good things, when she arrived at the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, she saw a horse tied to the door, which looked very familiar.
She looked at Aoba behind her suspiciously, and said, "Am I dazzled?" Why does this horse sound so familiar? ”
Aoba looked at it, nodded, and said, "Isn't it the horse that the girl who just talked to you in front of the Deyue Tower rode and scolded?" ”
Gu Nian suddenly realized, no wonder she was so familiar, that girl was a relative of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion? Know her?
She took a soft sedan chair directly from the second gate to the courtyard of the eldest princess, and as soon as she got off the sedan chair, she heard laughter coming from inside, she smiled, and it was rare to hear her grandmother laugh like this.
When she arrived at the door, there was already a maid under the door with a curtain, and as soon as she entered, she smiled and raised her eyes as if nothing happened, and when she arrived in front of the eldest princess, she greeted her.
The eldest princess took her hand and said to a woman below, "This is my granddaughter, Niannian, this is Princess Zhongyi." It's okay for you to call your aunt. ”
Gu Nian knew about the Zhongyi Wang's family entering Beijing, but he didn't expect to see the Zhongyi princess so soon, and the eldest princess pointed to the girl next to the Zhongyi princess and said,
"This is Jinghe, you can call your cousin."
"Cousin." Guan Jing and looked at Gu Nian with a smile.
"Miss Guan." Gu Nian greeted with a smile.
No one asked, Guan Jinghe explained with a smile, "My cousin and I just met on the road, I know my cousin, but my cousin doesn't know me." ”
After saying that, she winked mischievously.
The eldest princess smiled again, and Princess Zhongyi was also surprised, and asked, "How did Jinghe know Niannian?" ”
Guan Jinghe smiled mysteriously, "My cousin is a celebrity in the capital, and anyone who asks him knows his cousin, and Jinghe naturally knows it." ”
The eldest princess smiled faintly, clearly without the same joy as before, Gu Nian replied indifferently, "Miss Guan praised it falsely, I am just an inner house woman, where is the red person." ”
How Guan Jinghe knew her, she didn't have much interest in knowing, but she didn't want to be manipulated either.
Especially a so-called cousin who has only met twice.
If everyone wants to be like her, don't be the princess of Jin.
It was probably because her tone was too cold, and the eldest princess's attitude suddenly became cold, and Princess Zhongyi also knew that Guan Jinghe had said the wrong thing.
The capital is not as open as Chungju, and the people of Chungju are open, and in the capital, if everyone knows about a backyard woman, it is not a good thing.
She patted Guan Jinghe's hand, "What are you talking nonsense, your cousin is virtuous and dignified, don't you tell me how you met your cousin?" ”
The eldest princess waved her hand and asked Princess Zhongyi not to care too much, but it happened that someone came in from outside the door and said that the banquet was open.
Today was originally just a family banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Gu Shi'an, but Princess Zhongyi came to the door, and she didn't mean to leave for a long time, so the eldest princess could only stay for dinner.
After Princess Zhongyi and Guan Jinghe had dinner, they stayed for a while before saying goodbye to the eldest princess.
Before saying goodbye, he also made an appointment with the eldest princess to go to Izumo Temple outside the city for two days to offer incense.
Speaking of Guan Jinghe's proposal, she said, "My mother believes in Buddhism, and I heard that Izumo Temple is full of incense, especially the abbot's scriptures are supreme treasures, and I want to take advantage of the time I came to the capital to sincerely ask for a scroll to go back for my mother to worship." ”
This is a very filial thing, all the way to the capital, to be able to think of a little bit of my mother's hobby, it is very good.
Princess Tadashi also wanted to go to Izumoji Temple, but unfortunately she didn't catch up with the grand event of the Buddha Bathing Buddha Festival at Huangjue Temple.
He also said that he had just arrived, so he wanted to invite the eldest princess of the protectorate to go with him.
Since the eldest princess was widowed, she rarely went out, let alone socializing with each family, and the place she went to the most was just the temple and the nunnery.
Because of the accident at Huangjue Temple last time, the eldest princess thought that it would be good to go to Izumo Temple, so she agreed to go to Izumo Temple with Princess Zhongyi to make incense, and agreed to leave two days later.
The eldest princess was going to go, Gu Nian and Zhou Yuyan naturally wanted to go with him, and it happened that the weather was not hot, so the eldest princess simply said that she would bring Chen'er and Xu'er, let them suspend class for a day, and go to play with them.
The female dependents had to travel, because they were afraid of an accident like Huangjue Temple, so Xiao Yue and Gu Shi'an naturally had to do a good job of guarding.
Xiao Yue was okay, Gu Shi'an thought that Jing Ning was living alone in the suburbs on Zhuangzi, lonely and lonely.
He didn't dare to force Jing Ning to come back to confess his relatives, and he didn't even dare to ask Jing Ning what happened back then.
It's not that he hasn't sent someone to check, but although he found some clues before he arrived in the capital, those were clearly forged pasts.
He didn't know if Jing Ning made it himself, or if it was made by the person who got Jing Ning out of the capital back then.
There is also the person who assassinated Jingning this time, he has already sent Nanshan and Jinyiwei's people to investigate, hoping to find out who is the black hand soon.
Soon, it was time to make an appointment with Princess Zhongyi on the day of incense, early in the morning, the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, the Jin Palace's mansion moved, and the carriages of the three mansions gathered at the gate of the city, and went to the Izumo Temple outside the city together.
On the first day, the eldest princess sent someone to Izumo Temple to book a room to rest, and when the group arrived at the gate of Izumo Temple, the host in a red robe waited in person, and when he saw everyone, he was kind and kind-eyed, and the host with white eyebrows made a joke.
The eldest princess of the Protectorate returned the salute and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to disturb the master, and I asked you to come out to greet you in person." ”
"The female benefactor is sincere to the Buddha and is willing to give, which is the blessing of my Buddhism."
During the New Year's holidays, the eldest princess of the protector will offer a large amount of incense money, and the tablet of the lord of Jingning is also enshrined in Izumo Temple, and the sesame oil money is more.
Xu'er and Chen'er had already been to Huangjue Temple last time, and the little people felt that most of the temples in the world were like this, so there was nothing new about the two, but they were still very polite to follow the adults to rest under the wing room, until Gu Nian and Zhou Yuyan spoke, and the two of them went out to play hand in hand.
As soon as the two of them reached the door, they heard someone outside asking, "Xu'er, Chen'er, where are you going to play?" ”
It's the voice of Seki-he.
When Gu Nian went out, he saw Guan Jinghe wanting to reach out and touch Xu'er's face.
Xu'er shrank back, and Chen'er said on the side, "Xu'er can't touch anyone else except his aunt." ”
Guan Jinghe's hand was so stiff in place, and the handkerchief she was holding in her hand flew away with the wind probably because of its stiffness.
The maid next to her was stunned and hurriedly chased back.
Gu Nian was also stunned, and laughed dumbly, before he stepped forward to relieve the siege, he saw Chen'er take Xu'er's hand and run away.
When Guan Jinghe saw Gu Nian, he smiled as usual, "At a young age, I know how to avoid suspicion, and I will be the second King of Jin in the future, and I don't know which girl will be blessed in the future." ”
"The bigger it gets, the more I don't like people to touch it, it's me, and sometimes I don't let it." As if she couldn't hear the meaning of her words, Gu Nian asked, "Did Miss Guan clean up so quickly?" Get on in. ”
Guan Jinghe nodded and went into the house to find the eldest princess.
Gu Nian looked at Guan Jinghe's back, Xu Er's evasion just now, it was clear that she didn't like it very much, Xu Er didn't like Guan Jinghe, she didn't like it either. Sure enough, it is worthy of her own birth," sent someone to look at this Guan girl. ”
She instructed Aoba.
Now that the astragalus injury is not healed, Gu Nian's things around him have been handed over to Aoba.
Aoba should be, and immediately went down to arrange it.
In the past few years, wave after wave of people want to stuff people around Xiao Yue, especially after the second grandmother said that she won't lay eggs last time, more people want to stuff people into the palace.
Even in the Xiao family, they also want to send the girl who is a good relative to the house, and they also use the banner of not flowing into the fields of outsiders.
During this time, many little girls faced her with respect on their faces, but the hostility sticking out of their eyes was not enough to conceal it.
Compared to those little girls, Guan Jinghe hid a little deeper, but she was too familiar and sensitive to this hostility, so she was still discovered.
It's just that she feels strange again, if Guan Jinghe has a crush on Xiao Yue, then she shouldn't be courteous to the eldest princess, and she didn't mention anything about Xiao Yue.
What kind of routine is this?
It's just that even if she is fascinated by Xiao Yue, what can she do? Could it be that Princess Zhongyi still wants her to come to the Jin Palace, as a concubine?
The group rested in the wing room for a while, and then went to the front hall to offer incense and listen to the scriptures.
Every time the eldest princess came to the temple, she didn't like to clear the field, so when they arrived at the main hall, there were other people in the hall offering incense.
Gu Nian took Xu'er, and Zhou Yuyan took Chen'er, following behind the eldest princess.
Gu Nian smelled a strange fragrance on Xu'er's body, and Chen'er also had it, but the fragrance was very light.
Presumably it was contaminated somewhere when the two of them just went out to play.
Burn incense, bow down, and after three prostrations, insert incense in order.
The eldest princess of the country, the princess of loyalty, and then Gu Nian.
She took Xu'er's hand to the huge incense burner, Gu Nian first inserted the incense in her hand, and then Xu'er.
Xu Er was already familiar with these, and as soon as he inserted the incense in his hand, he saw the ashes move slightly, as if something was coming out.
Gu Nian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he had no time to think about it at all, so he pulled Xu'er into his arms, turned around, and escorted Xu'er away from the incense burner to two steps away.
At the same time, several flying insects the size of rice grains flew out of the incense burner, flying straight towards the nearest Gu Nian's mother and son.
In the main hall, there are not only many women who plan to wait for their group to finish the incense, but also to go to the incense after their group.
Before they could offer incense, there was a commotion in front of the incense burner, and then there was chaos.
Fortunately, they brought the guards, and when something happened in front of the incense burner, the guards stopped the crowd in time and told them not to move, so there was no major accident.
Guan Jinghe waved away the maid who wanted to pull her away, and looked eagerly, not only looking for Gu Nian, but also looking for the eldest princess who protected the country.
She saw Gu Nian protecting Xu'er, surrounded by guards and maids, and there were also a lot of people around the eldest princess of the country.
She turned around, but went to the eldest princess's side, and she saw the truth in adversity, and at this time, she went to the eldest princess's side, and she could also win a good impression.
The eldest princess was shocked and angry at this time, she didn't notice Guan Jinghe's approach at all, and all her mind was on the mother and son.
She instructed the guards, "Quickly disperse the crowd to prevent those flying insects from biting, and no one is allowed to move this incense burner, Zhou Yan, go, go back to the city to find King Su, and ask him to send two good men of the brocade guards." ”
Whether it was the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion or the Jin Wang's Mansion, the guards were all well-trained, but in a moment, the situation was brought under control.
After those flying insects flew out, they fell in mid-air before they could bite Gu Nian.
After making sure that there was no danger, the crowd dispersed, and Gu Nian and Xu'er were escorted outside the hall.
Zhou Yuyan stepped forward to look at Gu Nian and Xu'er, and took Xu'er's hand, "How is it, have you been bitten?" Xu'er, are you scared? ”
Gu Nian, who had palpitations, hugged Xu'er and stroked his back, "I didn't bite it." ”
Xu'er also straightened her chest, "Auntie, Xu'er is fine." ”
The eldest princess's face was very bad, she originally came to the temple to ask for peace, but she didn't expect that there was a situation in Huangjue Temple, and there was still a situation in Izumo Temple.
This temple has simply become a tiger's den in Longtan, with good incense, something crawled out of the incense burner, the eldest princess's path has always been thrilling, where can she not know that there is a big problem with these insects, and it may be a human life.
When she thought that these things were going for her precious granddaughter and great-grandson, she only felt that her heart was beating faster, and she couldn't torture that bad guy in three moments.
Xu'er was protected by Gu Nian, and she only saw the insect later, so she wasn't frightened much, Gu Nian comforted her, and she smiled and talked to Chen'er hand in hand.
Gu Nianxin breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the eldest princess, and just saw Guan Jinghe who was coming in front of the eldest princess, her gaze stayed for a moment, and immediately moved away.
Guan Jinghe was about aware of her gaze, raised his head as if he was aware of it, and smiled at Gu Nian who had seen it.
Mama Zhou looked at those insects, her eyes suddenly became cold, she wrapped a small flying insect with a handkerchief, walked to the eldest princess, and whispered in her ear,
"Your Highness, when the county lord went back then, the slave maid had seen such a bug beside her."
Mama Zhou is the dowry of the county lord of Jingning, and the only one who has served the county lord of Jingning, but is still alive.
However, at the beginning, she did not serve the county lord of Jingning closely, but did some chores outside the hospital, and it was because of this that she was able to survive.
Otherwise, in that year, it would have been sold long ago.
