Gu Yilan's father, Gu Junde, was promoted to the office, and after being a Wenlinlang in Beijing for half a year, he applied for release, starting from Jiupin in the state and county, and now it is the Qipin County Order of Ningling County, but no one dares to despise her in Beijing, because she is the favorite granddaughter of Gu Zhengze, a scholar of Duanming Palace, and has been raised in Gu's mansion and raised by Gu Zhengze's wife herself.

Duanming Hall Scholar, although it seems to be an honorary title without real power, no duty, no pawn, just serving the saint, for advisers, but everyone knows that the temple bachelor is the real son of heaven and close ministers, very people can be filled, one sentence can control the government, although there is no prime minister, but the status in the court is no less than the first and auxiliary prime minister, usually by the highly qualified bachelor officials.

Therefore, at the flower viewing banquet in the Princess's Mansion, the seats of the ladies of the Gu family are even higher than that of the Miss Xie family, and when they go to the water pavilion to enjoy the morning lotus, it should be the ladies of the Gu family who go first, and behind the ladies of the Gu Mansion, they are followed by the ladies and ladies of the Xie Cheng Mansion.

It's just to enjoy the flowers, and it's not a palace banquet, after the table, go to the water pavilion to enjoy the lotus, the ladies and ladies who are familiar with each other walk together, socialize and chat, and there is a strict order there.

Gu Yilan's third uncle and mother and Prime Minister Xie Cheng's eldest daughter-in-law walked side by side, and the Gu family sisters naturally mixed with the Xie family sisters, chatting all the way to the water pavilion.

All this is exactly the same as in her previous life, Gu Yilan walked beside her cousin Gu Yizhu, but her eyes kept looking at Miss Xie's side. Because she has long known that this time the flower appreciation banquet of the Mangzhong Festival, Miss Xie will fall into the water, and she was also there in the previous life, and she still remembers this incident.

Gu Yilan quietly stared in the direction of the girls of the Xie family, not only because she knew that Miss Xie Si would fall into the water, but she also wanted to see how Miss Xie Si fell into the water.

Gu Yilan remembered that this accident was quite a big one. Miss Xie Si fell into the water, and she was quickly fished up, which was not a big deal, but Miss Xie Si insisted that it was Miss Wen, who was walking beside her, who pushed her into the water.

Miss Wen Meiqing is the youngest daughter of Zhongfeng Doctor Wen Chengping, who is the same age as Gu Yilan, just fourteen years old, and has not yet reached the end of her life. Although Dr. Wen is only a four-rank loose official, the Taiyuan Wen family is a serious famous family, and the poetry and rites are heirlooms, which are not worse than the Xie family of Chen County, where Prime Minister Xie was born.

The Wen family has been an official for several generations, Dr. Wen's great-grandfather once served as the first assistant prime minister, Wen Chengping's father was the governor of Zheng Erpin before his death, and he was very favored by the saints, if it were not for the fact that he died before the age of 50, it was not impossible for the Wen family to have another prime minister.

Even now, Wen's should not be underestimated. Wen Chengping was originally a release official, but after his father died, he was immediately transferred back to Beijing, and he rose step by step.

The Wen family is not only Wen Chengping, but one of Wen Chengping's uncles was still a mansion in Xingren Mansion last year, and he just said goodbye to the old man. Wen Chengping's cousin entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and now she has been crowned a concubine, although she is not favored, but Concubine Wen is kind and obedient, but she is very pleasing to the queen, and she can speak in the harem.

Miss Xie accused the Wen family of pushing her into the water, which is a bit interesting, Queen Xie, who died seventeen years ago, was born in the Xie family of Chen County. Although Empress Xie was not favored and died early, she could leave a prince under her knees, who was only three months older than the prince born by the current Empress Wei.

Everyone knows that Concubine Wen in the harem is only the head of Empress Wei, and Xie Youxiang of the previous dynasty has never had much contact with Dr. Wen, and the relationship between the Wen family and the Xie family is quite delicate. Therefore, in the previous life, after Miss Xie Si fell into the water, she accused Miss Wen of harming people, but it really led to a series of major events.

Gu Yilan remembered that in the previous life, Miss Xie Si's overboard accident was just a cause, and in the end, the Xie and Wen families tore up, made a big fuss, and finally fought each other. Xie and Wen tore their faces, but whether Wen Meiqing pushed Xie Shurou or not, but they never tore it clear.

The affairs of the Wen and Xie families are not completely ineffective on the Gu family, after all, Master Gu is an official in the court, and he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the affairs of the Wen and Xie families are inextricably linked with the harem, and the Gu scholars can't pretend not to know if they want to.

In addition, the Xungui family in Beijing is in contact with each other, counting up several generations, almost every family can climb some kinship, Xie and Wen, the two big clans, almost all the big families in Beijing will be implicated, and the Gu family is no exception. For example, Gu Yilan's grandmother originally considered marrying Gu Yilan's cousin Gu Yixuan to the Xie family, but later thought about coming and going, but she changed her mind.

Once reborn, these things have to be experienced again, Gu Yilan knows that the affairs of the Xie family and the Wen family are not for her to interfere in, and she doesn't plan to do much, she is just a little curious, did Wen Meiqing attack Xie Shurou? Is it the Wen family who wants to find a reason to make trouble? Or is the Xie family directing and acting in a big drama and wants to bite the Wen family?

Because of this curiosity, at the flower viewing banquet in the princess's mansion, Gu Yilan has been secretly observing the movements of the daughters of the Xie and Wen families without a trace, Xie Shurou fell into the water, she saw it clearly, it was precisely because she saw it that she was confused, and some things seemed to be really different from before.

Gu Yilan saw that Xie Shurou was walking with her sisters, and the Wen family's daughters were not far away, and Dr. Wen's youngest daughter, Wen Meiqing, was not with her own sisters and elders, but a young lady from the Wang family's family walked hand in hand, next to the Xie family's young ladies walking by the lake. Wen Meiqing was next to Xie Shurou, the two stood very close, Wen Meiqing could indeed push Xie Shurou into the lake as soon as she stretched out her hand, but she didn't stretch out her hand.

Gu Yilan stared at Wen Meiqing and Xie Shurou tightly, so she clearly saw that Xie Shurou smiled and pulled Xie Shuyi, the third Miss Xie beside her, and then took a step forward, stretched out her hand and pointed to the morning lotus in the lake, she seemed to be very happy, and said something with a smile, but unfortunately, Xie Shurou accidentally stepped on her shawl when she stepped forward, and the shawl seemed to be hung on the pearl embroidery on Xie Shurou's shoulder, and it was suddenly pulled straight, and Xie Shurou suddenly lost her balance, Planted face down towards the sparkling lake.

At that time, the ladies were standing by the lake to watch the scenery, and the maids naturally couldn't get too far forward to block the young ladies' sight, so they were all in the back position. There were five young ladies standing by the lake, Xie Shurou's third sister Xie Shuyi looked into the distance with a smile on her face, and Wen Mei Qingzheng and Miss Wang next to them turned their heads with a smile and greeted a little girl in red wearing a skirt next to her, and the little girl Gu Yilan also knew that it was Mu Hongsheng, the young lady of Anguo's family.
