Gu Jiao basically relied on brushing her face to enter Renshou Palace, and the masters and palace people of Renshou Palace all knew her, knowing that she was the tip of Empress Dowager Zhuang's heart, and no one dared to stop her.

Although Empress Dowager Zhuang had commanded, I didn't see anyone this afternoon.

Concubine Zhuang was not so lucky.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Renshou Palace, she was stopped by the guard Ouchi master.

Concubine Zhuang said: "You go and spread the word, there is an urgent matter for the queen mother in the palace." ”

The master of Ouchi said: "I'm sorry, the Queen Mother has an order, and I don't see anyone." ”

Concubine Zhuang frowned: "But the palace obviously saw someone entering." ”

"That's Miss Gu, she went to see the Queen Mother." The master of Ouchi finally knew not to give Gu Jiaola hatred.

When she heard that it was a cure, Concubine Zhuang was relieved, but in the next moment, she asked worriedly: "Is the Queen Mother's phoenix body disobedient?" ”

The master said: "The Queen Mother was slightly unwell yesterday, and invited Miss Gu into the palace to treat the Queen Mother, and Miss Gu came to treat the Queen Mother today." ”

Concubine Zhuang thought for a while: "Then the palace will go in to visit the Queen Mother." ”

"This ......"

Concubine Zhuang said: "I don't embarrass you, the Queen Mother won't let you disturb her, Miss Gu didn't say this, you go and invite Miss Gu." ”

"Yes." The master Ouchi glanced at the little palace maid on the side.

The little palace maid understood, and caught up with Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was talking to Gonggong Qin in the small garden in front of the palace.

The little palace maid said: "Miss Gu, Gonggong Qin, Concubine Zhuang is here, she wants to see Miss Gu." ”

Gonggong Qin is a human spirit, Concubine Zhuang and Gu Jiao are not familiar with each other, and most of the reasons why she wants to see her are that she hopes that Gu Jiao can pass on the Queen Mother for her: "...... The Queen Mother was watching the excerpts, and the minions didn't dare to disturb her. ”

"Well, I'll wait." Gu Jiao didn't do anything special.

"Okay." Gonggong Qin smiled and took Gu Jiao to Empress Dowager Zhuang's bedroom.

In fact, with the Queen Mother's love for Miss Gu, she won't mind her interruption at all, and she can even have some fun in the boring day-to-day official business.

But Miss Gu is never pampered and arrogant, she has her own duties and bottom line.

She is good to the Queen Mother, not to get the Queen Mother's favor, but to sincerely hope that the Queen Mother can live well.

Gonggong Qin went to the gate of Renshou Palace to see Concubine Zhuang again, and said politely: "Miss Gu is also waiting for the Queen Mother to summon her." ”

Speaking of which, Concubine Zhuang is not good at saying anything.

Fortunately, there were not many excerpts today, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang left the study not long after.

Gong Qin reported: "Queen Mother, Miss Gu and the noble concubine are here." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted: "Let her in." ”

This is talking about Concubine Zhuang.

She understands the rules she has set, Jiaojiao can come in, but others can't come in.

"Yes." Gonggong Qin led Concubine Zhuang into the queen mother's bedroom.

Gu Jiao had just finished the review for the Empress Dowager Zhuang, and her throat had recovered well, but she seemed to be suffering from heat stroke on a hot day, Gu Jiao took ginger slices and sesame oil and came over to scrape her arm.

Concubine Zhuang bowed respectfully: "Queen Mother." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Empress Dowager Zhuang asked lightly, whether she hurt her throat or not, and there was still some pain in her throat.

Gonggong Qin had already retreated with the palace people, and only the three of them were left in the huge dormitory.

Concubine Zhuang glanced at Gu Jiao, who was scraping for the Empress Dowager Zhuang, and understood that the Empress Dowager Zhuang did not avoid Gu Jiao, she lowered her eyes and said softly: "Empress Dowager, do you really care about Heng'er's family affairs?" How can Heng'er marry ......?"

She looked at Gu Jiao again, considered the wording, omitted the not-so-friendly modifiers, and said directly, "Gu Jinyu? She is just the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Ding'an, her status is humble, and her virtue is still at a loss, and she is afraid that if she marries her, she will even affect Heng'er and become the laughing stock of the capital. ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at her lightly, as if to signal her to continue.

Concubine Zhuang Guifei's gaze swept back and forth from Gu Jiao, and said, "What's more, Gu Jinyu also robbed Miss Gu of the credit at the beginning, and it is not fair to Miss Gu to elevate her like this." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang said in a deep voice: "Don't use others as rafts." ”

Concubine Zhuang wanted to speak and stopped: "...... Be. ”

Gu Jiao continued to scrape, and had no intention of participating in the conversation between the two at all.

As for Empress Dowager Zhuang, she didn't react much after listening to Concubine Zhuang's complaints.

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but be anxious.

This is not quite the same as the situation she imagined, the queen mother is hard-hearted, but she loves Zhuang Yuheng, and she didn't agree to send Zhuang Yuheng to Chen Guo as a hostage.

Why is Zhuang Yuheng being pitted like this by His Majesty now, but she is not moved at all?

Concubine Zhuang continued: "Queen Mother, Heng'er's wife must be the right person and help him, but what does Gu Jinyu have?" She's not even Ding'anhou's own flesh and blood! Could it be that in the future, the Ding'an Hou Mansion will still be able to face her? Moreover, I suspect that His Majesty simply wants to install a fine work in the dealer's house! ”

The Marquis of Ding'an is His Majesty's henchman, and His Majesty married Gu Jinyu into the Zhuang family, firstly, it can break the plan of the Zhuang family to marry with other hairpins, and secondly, it can monitor the every move of King Anjun and the Zhuang family.

Concubine Zhuang felt that His Majesty had planned it like this.

In fact, the emperor didn't plan to do so, but just as the emperor didn't trust the Empress Dowager Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang didn't trust the emperor's intentions very much.

The dealer can't afford to go wrong, and he can't afford to lose a great opportunity to marry a powerful family.

The stronger King Anjun is, the more help her son King Ning will have.

"Aunt......" Concubine Zhuang Guifei saw that the reason was not good, so she played the family card.

Empress Dowager Zhuang closed her eyes and recuperated.

Concubine Zhuang was in a hurry, she simply kicked the ball to Gu Jiao: "Miss Gu, what do you think?" ”

She knew that Gu Jiao and Gu Jinyu had a discordant relationship, and she believed that Gu Jiao would not speak for Gu Jinyu, nor would she care about the battle between the Zhuang family and the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

Gu Jiao is the person of the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Gu Jiao continued to scrape for her aunt, paused, and said, "This is the family affair of King Anjun, shouldn't it be up to him to make his own decision?" After Your Majesty gave him the marriage, did you ask him if he accepted it? Does the concubine represent his own wishes? ”

Concubine Zhuang was suddenly asked.

Concubine Zhuang returned in vain.

Gu Jiao finished shaving the Empress Dowager Zhuang and went to pick up her black powder.

The territory of Bishui Hutong is limited, and she doesn't dare to let go too much, for fear of blowing up the house.

There is enough open space in Inshou Palace, and it will be okay if it is blown up.

Gonggong Qin entered the house to serve the Empress Dowager Zhuang, and the Empress Dowager Zhuang's complexion was much better, and her chest was no longer stuffy.

Gonggong Qin presented the newly cut melons and fruits, and said, "The Queen Mother really ignores the family affairs of King Anjun?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang seemed to scoff and sneered: "The emperor first cut and then played, and the mourning family is a big army, how can the mourning family take care of it?" Is this Jiangshan really surnamed Zhuang? The mourning family has been stained with blood all these years, and the organs have been exhausted, and everyone thinks that the power of the mourning family is easy to come by, who has seen the mourning family walking on thin ice? ”

Gonggong Qin thought so.

Outsiders only saw the Queen Mother calling for wind and rain, but they didn't see the blood behind the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said lightly: "If Zhuang Yuheng wants to withdraw from the marriage, he will come to beg for the mourning family by himself, but he didn't say it, that is, he accepted it." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang in the small lawn of the side hall, and the entire Renshou Palace seemed to tremble.

The faces of the two changed.

Gonggong Qin hurriedly rushed out with small steps: "Miss Gu, Miss Gu, are you okay?" ”

The lawn was blown bald.

Gu Jiao was nowhere to be seen.

Gonggong Qin was frightened: "Miss Gu! ”

"I, am, here."

A weak voice came from above Father-in-law Qin's head, and when Father-in-law Qin looked up, he saw that Gu Jiao had been blown into a little black face, a chicken nest head, and her little arms and legs were drooping, hanging soullessly on the high eaves like a little puppet.

Gu Jiao opened her small mouth and spit out a puff of black smoke.

Gonggong Qin: "......"

Gu Jiao was confused by the bombing, and after being rescued by the master of Ouchi, she climbed onto her aunt's phoenix bed and slept all afternoon.

When she woke up, it was almost evening, and her aunt left her to have dinner at Inshou Palace.

She thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I'll make you milk dates to eat." ”

The main thing is that I blew up my aunt's lawn today and I'm embarrassed, so I have to make up for it.

Milk dates are made of feta cheese, sun-dried red dates and almonds, red dates have their own sweetness, no additional sugar, full of milky aroma, delicious and nutritious.

Red dates and almonds are not difficult to find, but feta cheese has to be picked up in the imperial dining room.

The chef of Renshou Palace went to the imperial dining room to get feta cheese, Gu Jiao went to the imperial garden, she planned to pick some flower petals and go back to dry them to make tea.

Not long after she picked them in the imperial garden, a few young palace maids came over, and they also carried baskets to pick some flowers.

Gu Jiao put the full basket on the stone table, and went to fill another basket as well, these petals looked so many, once they dried, there was almost nothing left.

Gu Jiao returned with a full load.

It just so happened that the feta cheese was also brought over, she handed the basket to Father-in-law Qin, and turned around to go to the small kitchen to make milk dates.

In the Huaqing Palace, the little palace maid knelt on the ground with a hula.

The emperor and Concubine Jing sat on the chair, the emperor frowned and looked at a few newly selected little palace maids who came to serve Concubine Jing, and Long Yan was displeased: "How do you serve the concubine?" actually served the concubine's jade pendant gone! ”

Concubine Jing sighed: "Don't blame them, I lost it myself." I seemed to hear something when I went to the Imperial Garden, but I didn't pay attention to it for a while, thinking that it was just falling out at that moment. ”

"The slave and the slave were found, but the slave and the maid were ......," said a little palace maid tremblingly.

Concubine Jing said softly: "Don't be afraid, you can say it well, I don't blame you." ”

The little palace maid took a step forward, kowtowed, and said: "The slave found a piece of jade pendant in the imperial garden, and the slave didn't know that it was lost by the concubine Niangniang, so she thought about handing it over to the aunt in charge for a while, and the slave put the jade pendant on the table, and when the slave and maid finished picking the flowers and went to get the jade pendant, the jade pendant disappeared!" ”

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Why did you put the jade pendant on the table at will? ”

The little palace maid said in fear: "That jade pendant is broken, and the slave maid thinks it is worthless, and it is not a good thing......

"Broken?" The emperor looked at Concubine Jing in surprise.

Concubine Jing nodded bitterly and didn't speak.

Mama Cai said earnestly: "It was the concubine Niangniang who fell down two years ago and broke the jade pendant, and one corner was directly shattered, and it could never be picked up again." But that was the thought that Princess Ning'an left for the concubine, so even if it was broken, the mother still wore it on her body every day. ”

Hearing that Concubine Jing fell, the emperor's heart hurt like a pinprick, and he only regretted that he didn't take Concubine Jing back to the palace earlier to take care of him.

"Let the mother suffer." He said guiltily.

Concubine Jing said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, it's just a fall, people are old, and there are always times when their legs and feet are inconvenient." ”

"I look at Renshou Palace...... "The emperor wanted to say that the legs and feet of Renshou Palace were really sharp, and they were even sharper than before they suffered from leprosy. He also felt that it was not appropriate to mention the Queen Mother, he cleared his throat and looked at a few little palace maids kneeling on the ground, "At that time, apart from a few of you, who else had been to the Imperial Garden?" ”

The little palace maids looked at each other.

Although the jade is broken, but the remaining half of the piece is still valuable, it is not an ordinary jade, but a thousand-year-old cold jade of Yan Kingdom, this little palace maid does not know the goods, it does not mean that others do not know the goods.

"Say!" The emperor said coldly, "Who took the concubine's jade pendant?" ”

Everyone kowtowed one after another, but the little palace maid who had found the jade pendant just now said, "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids really didn't take it!" The slaves and maids don't know the goods, so how can they get a piece......"

She didn't dare to say anything more about breaking jade at this time.

The Emperor asked in a deep voice, "Then who else has been to the Imperial Garden besides you?" ”

The little palace maid thought for a while and said, "There is a girl...... I don't know which palace it is, look at her dress doesn't look like a palace concubine, nor does she look like a palace maid, the left side of her face is here...... There is a red birthmark. ”

is neither a palace concubine nor a palace maid, there is a red birthmark on the left side of her face, who is this not Gu Jiao?

That's embarrassing.

If it is an ordinary jade pendant, the emperor will not be too lazy to pursue it, but it is the thought left by Princess Ning'an to Concubine Jing, which is also the person that the emperor once put on the tip of his heart.

The emperor cared about her no less than Concubine Jing.

Gonggong Wei glanced at the emperor with a complicated expression.

Miss Gu's eyes couldn't rub the sand, Your Majesty really dared to send someone to ask her if she had picked up a piece of jade pendant, I am afraid that Miss Gu would never bother with Your Majesty from now on.

Well, although now I'm already angry with His Majesty.

But the nature of the matter is different.

Miss Gu is not a person with unclean hands and feet, but she can't stand His Majesty not letting go of any clues to investigate, this matter is difficult, as long as she asks, the gap between them will be planted.

What's more, Miss Gu is now in Renshou Palace, what will the Queen Mother think when she learns about this? If you don't scold Your Majesty, you won't give up.

The Queen Mother herself can be wronged, but Miss Gu cannot.

Grandpa Wei silently pinched a cold sweat, it's over, it's over.

The emperor froze, held Concubine Jing's hand and said: "The little divine doctor will not pick up the jade pendant on the table, the queen mother loves her, and the treasures of the entire Renshou Palace can't be sent, although the thousand-year-old cold jade sent by Ning An is precious, but it can't enter her eyes." Ning An also gave me a piece of thousand-year-old cold jade back then, all of which were left by Ning An, and I asked people to bring it to my mother when I turned around. ”

"Minion, go get it!" Gonggong Wei didn't wait for the emperor to give him an order, and went out slowly, as if he was afraid that the emperor would regret it in the next second.

The emperor said: "These little palace maids are not doing their jobs well, and they have lost the jade pendant of the mother concubine, so don't serve in front of the mother concubine in the future, I will choose some capable palace people for the mother concubine." ”

Concubine Jing smiled: "I eat fasting and chanting Buddha, I don't need too many people around, it's enough to have Mama Cai." ”

The emperor said: "Mama Cai is also old, and it is inevitable that when she is powerless, if there are a few clever palace people by her mother's side today, she will definitely not lose her mother's jade pendant and not notice it." ”

Gu Jiao didn't know anything about Huaqing Palace, she went to the small kitchen to make milk dates and flower cakes, and there were still a lot of flowers left.

The little palace maid smiled: "I'll put a sachet in the girl, and the girl will take it back to make dried flowers." ”

"It's fine." Gu Jiao nodded.

The little palace maid found a gold-wrapped silk sachet containing dried flowers, and put the remaining petals in the basket in one go.

After dinner, Gu Jiao returned to Bishui Hutong.

Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head in the courtyard, his expression was not quite right.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiao stepped forward and asked.

Gu Xiaoshun said: "Gu Houye fainted, and he hasn't woken up yet." ”

It turned out that after Gu Jiao went to visit her aunt, Gu Houye did not leave, but asked his son where Yao went.

It's not a fat ball anymore, it's a real ball in the stomach!

There's nothing more terrifying than a man who goes on a business trip for a while and comes back to find that his wife has a big belly.

If this alone is nothing, Xuanping Hou came over and said a few words with a smile with Yao.

Xuanping Hou, the most unruly man in the capital, laughed with a hint of ruffianism and evil spirit, and Gu Hou Ye immediately felt that the sky had fallen!

Gu Hou Ye has always been troubled by his appearance, but he also has to admit that Xuan Pinghou is indeed better looking than him, this prodigal hook his fingers, and there will be countless women who will follow him.

Don't...... His Yaoyao was also tricked?!

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why Xuanping Hou appeared here!

Furious, the top of his head was green.

Gu Houye couldn't hold it anymore, his tongue was spitted out, his eyes rolled, and he fainted-

Gu Jiao went to Yao's room, took the pulse of Gu Houye, and said, "He's fine." ”

Yao nodded, although this husband is sometimes quite confused, but in the end, there are two ...... No, now she's the father of her three children, and she doesn't want them to be fatherless.

But—

Yao Shi looked at his bulging belly, is the fetal movement so strong in six months? Why does it always feel like this kid is trying to kick his father?

------Off topic------

At the end of the month, the ticket was cleared.

Life is hard, but it always has to go on.
