After Gu Yilan greeted her grandmother and mother, she walked in the direction of Xie Shurou. She had just taken two steps when she heard Grandma Gu San ask Mrs. Gu in a low voice, "Mother, why don't we go and say hello to Mrs. Xie Xiang?" ”

Gu Yilan pursed her lips, quickened her pace, caught up with Xie Shurou's arm, pulled her around, and walked directly in another direction.

"What's the matter with you?" Xie Shurou lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter with me?" ”

"It's fine." Gu Yilan replied in a muffled voice while dragging Xie Shurou away.

"I think you're overwhelmed by your fate, right?" Although Xie Shurou's voice was small, she spoke unceremoniously as always: "It's okay, what kind of eyes are you making at me?" ”

"Who made a look at you," Gu Yilan replied in a low voice, and her tone was also very rushed: "Obviously, you like to come over." ”

"I said, why do you turn your face and don't recognize people!" Xie Shurou paused, with a posture of wanting to stay where she was and not move her nest: "Can you speak human words?" If you're okay, stay away from me, and don't delay me to find the red dress. Do you think I'm rarely coming to you? ”

Gu Yilan turned her head to look at Grandma Gu San, who had been looking at her side, with some encouragement in her eyes, and sighed softly, Sen Sen had a sense of grievance under the low eaves. She grabbed Xie Shurou's arm vigorously, with a resolute posture of not letting go, and dragged her forward: "Then I'll accompany you to find my little sister." ”

"Light bulb!" Xie Shurou muttered in a low voice: "What are you doing with me?" I don't ...... I know, Gu Yilan, are you using me as a gun? ”

"What bubble?" Gu Yilan looked at Xie Shurou with a confused expression, and the topic of the two was completely twisted.

"It doesn't matter." Xie Shurou approached Gu Yilan in a sly manner and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to get rid of your mother and your grandmother through me?" Don't pretend, I can see it. ”

The corners of Gu Yilan's mouth sank slightly, but she didn't speak, and continued to lower her head and drag Xie Shurou forward.

"You white-eyed wolf, white-eyed wolf," Xie Shurou didn't dare to play too exaggerated because of the occasion, but this did not prevent her from seizing the opportunity to say a few cheapest words: "If you get married, you won't recognize your mother's family." I didn't expect you to be such a Gu Yilan. ”

"Shut up, you." Gu Yilan pinched Xie Shurou angrily: "What do you know?" I don't understand anything, so I just judge my character. ”

"Makes sense, too." Xie Shurou nodded, and put on a generous appearance: "Forget it, for the sake of you being pulled by the queen to sing a big drama today, I won't care about you." ”

Although Xie Shurou's voice was extremely small, so small that this sentence could only be heard by Gu Yilan alone, Gu Yilan immediately glared at Xie Shurou angrily: "This is the palace." Can you not be so open-mouthed, be careful that the wall has ears. ”

"I was wrong." Xie Shurou nodded immediately: "It is true that we should be more cautious." Let's go, let's go find the red dress. ”

Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan turned around together to find Mu Hongsheng, and when Mu Hongshang saw them coming, she immediately beckoned to them and walked over to the two. It's just that Mu Hongshang just stood in front of Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan, and a middle-aged palace man with a high bun walked over with a tray.

"Miss Mu," the palace man held the tray high, "This is the queen mother's reward for you." ”

The three girls turned their heads to look at the tray together, and found that in the tray was a five-phoenix Chaoyang hairpin, the kind that only princesses can wear. Whether it is Mu Hongsheng, or Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou, they are all stunned, what does it mean for the queen mother to reward such a hairpin as a red dress? Is this trying to recognize a goddaughter?

Old Madam Mu obviously saw this scene as well, she walked over in a few steps, glanced into the tray, and her face was a little ugly. She thought for a moment, then directly took her granddaughter's hand, raised her head and said: "Hongsheng, go, go with your grandmother to thank the queen mother, such a good-looking hairpin is rare, you have to thank the queen mother." ”

Mu Hongsheng nodded, followed her grandmother and left first, leaving Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou still in place. Xie Shurou looked at the backs of Mrs. Mu and Mu Hongsheng, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "What does this queen think?!" How did you appreciate a red dress and a five-phoenix Chaoyang hairpin! This ......"

"It's okay, don't worry." Gu Yilan looked more confident than Xie Shurou: "Grandmother is here, everything is not afraid." ”

"Hmm." Xie Shurou nodded perfunctorily, she was not as relieved as Gu Yilan: "That'...... Let's find a place to wait for her, I still have something to say to her. ”

Gu Yilan nodded, and then looked at the courtyard of Yuyang Palace. On this day, the sun was just right, and it was already midday, and the sunlight outside was a little dazzling, so most of the guests present were sitting and talking in the side hall, and no one was walking outside in the big sun.

"Why don't we go for a walk in the yard?" Gu Yilan smiled and suggested to Xie Shurou, her voice was not loud or small, even if she stood a little farther away, she would be able to hear it: "There are many people in the hall, it is not as bright as outside." ”

"In the end, he is still young and lively," Xie Shurou heard two elderly ladies not far away laughing and discussing: "On such a big day, I am willing to run out to bask in the sun." ”

Others didn't know why Gu Yilan had to drag Xie Shurou outside to go shopping, but Xie Shurou understood. There was no one outside, and the courtyard of Yuyang Palace was open and bright, without much shelter, and the two of them stood in the middle of the courtyard talking like this, but anyone who wanted to get closer could be found, and it was an ideal place to talk. Therefore, Xie Shurou nodded, and Gu Yilan really ran to bask in the sun one after the other.

There was no one nearby, Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan spoke more casually, Xie Shurou opened her mouth and asked what she wanted to ask the most: "You went back to your parents' house a few days ago, what did Scholar Gu say?" It's been two or three days, and there doesn't seem to be any movement in the court, anyway, I didn't hear my father and my grandfather mention it. ”

"He promised to help," Gu Yilan sighed softly, "but let me not be anxious." How can I not be anxious, I haven't sent a letter home for two months. What about you, how are you over there? Xie Xiang refused to express his position, so what about Xiao Xie? ”

"I can't be counted on." Xie Shurou also sighed heartily: "I think I can also let Uncle Jiang, oh, it is Jiang Shilang of the War Department, try to persuade my father again." At least my dad really thinks of him as a friend, and he must have more weight than me in his words. By the way, I heard a few days ago that the Duchess of An Guo also returned to her parents' house, and no one in the clan is willing to help? ”

"Yes." Gu Yilan sneered: "Zheng Chongjing and his father took the initiative to help, but they were rejected by the eldest aunt's mother's family. Oh, these two people, it's better not to have them. ”
