Chapter 280: Speculation
If Chu Yanzhang told Queen Chu Gu Banqin's true identity, Gu Banqin believed that even Queen Chu would be gentle with her, but looking at Queen Chu's expression now, it was exactly the same as looking at Duan's expression at the beginning, which made Gu Banqin a little embarrassed.
Obviously, it was because Chu Yanzhang did not tell Queen Chu her identity, but she told Queen Chu to take care of her many times, so Queen Chu mistakenly thought that Gu Banqin did not know where to get into Chu Yanzhang's eyes......
Therefore, from such a small matter, Gu Banqin can see that Helian Hongyi said that he can hold Chu Yanzhang, not empty words, as far as Chu Yanzhang's ability to do things, Gu Banqin really doesn't think it's good.
"Mrs. An Shen has returned from afar, and the emperor should take more care of her, but this palace should remind Mrs. An Shen that some people are pure-hearted and can be saved, but some people use a pure appearance to cover up their wolf ambitions, you saved her, and in the end, you have to die in her hands."
Empress Chu's self-made clever words about Gu Banqin's embarrassment were about to be committed, but Duan's voice was inexplicable.
What a fool!
Empress Chu commented on the Duan family in her heart, she had already said it so obviously, and the Duan family still didn't understand it.
The atmosphere in the hall became condensed, and at this moment, the second, third, and fourth princesses came in from outside, and the laughter like silver bells accompanied their footsteps, and passed into the hall first.
A few incense winds blew in, the fourth princess was the daughter of Queen Chu, took the second princess and the third princess straight to Queen Chu, and simply saluted, the fourth princess hugged the queen's arm, Queen Chu was angry, but looking at her daughter, she was still happy.
"Why are you so happy?"
The fourth princess wanted to speak, but she closed her mouth shyly, leaned on Queen Chu and coquettishly, enlivening the atmosphere in the palace, and the third princess stepped forward and said:
"Queen Mother, the fourth sister is so happy, she laughed all the way."
"What's so happy, tell us about it." Zhang Guifei is the mother of the third princess, so she naturally has a status, and the third princess dares to say that she follows this Zhang Guifei.
"I met the eldest brother in the imperial garden before, and he told us that Daqi sent a letter of state, saying that the emperor of Daqi was going to personally send an envoy to our Chu country, and after the fourth sister heard the news, the whole person was like crazy, and became like this."
The third princess sat down next to Concubine Zhang and said to Queen Chu. It can be seen that the fourth princess likes Helian Hongyi, and it is not a secret in the palace.
Queen Chu sighed angrily, she had known the news for a long time, and she had not told them all the time, just because she was afraid that they would remember it. The fourth princess shrank back, but she didn't show remorse, pointed at the third princess and scolded with a smile:
"My sister still talks about me, aren't you happy?"
When Concubine Zhang heard this, she asked Empress Chu:
"Hey, how could this Great Qi Emperor suddenly want to send an envoy to our Chu State? If you want to congratulate our emperor on his ascension to the throne, it's too late. ”
After thinking about it, Queen Chu said: "Some time ago, didn't our Chu State have envoys to Daqi, it should be a courtesy." ”
"Let's go to Dingyuan, they are the emperor, and this Great Qi is too much to give us the face of the Chu State."
Zhang Guifei also knew about the envoy of the Chu State to Daqi before, so she felt strange, you said, their Chu State sent a Dingyuan waiter, and the Emperor of Daqi came in person, this is not a marquis's etiquette specifications.
The reason why Zhang Guifei was able to sit in the position of the concubine in the harem is naturally brainy, if it weren't for the fact that her background was not as good as that of Queen Chu, she might not be able to tell who was the queen and who was the concubine.
"You say, could it be that the Emperor of Great Qi came for another purpose?" Zhang Guifei muttered to herself like this, and when Empress Chu heard her, she couldn't help but wonder: "What purpose can it be?" ”
Zhang Guifei turned her head to look at the third princess beside her and the fourth princess snuggled next to Queen Chu, glanced at Queen Chu, and said:
"Mo is not ......"
Just mentioned it a little, and did not say the following words, but just these three words were enough for Queen Chu and the third princess and the fourth princess to understand, the two princesses all lowered their heads embarrassedly, and Queen Chu also fell into deep thought.
Duan secretly glanced at Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin lowered her head weakly and didn't dare to look at her, stared for a moment, and then leaned over and whispered to Gu Banqin:
"Did they come to you? Is it possible? ”
For Duan's wondering, Gu Banqin didn't answer, after all, the answer or something, it had already happened in Chu Xiaocheng's courtyard, the man who didn't care.
I definitely don't know that the women in the palace now have exploded because of one of his news, and they are helpless about the whimsy of Queen Chu and Zhang Guifei, although they are now communicating with their ears, but Gu Banqin analyzes from the expressions and movements of the two of them, as well as the shape of their mouths, the two seem to have communicated now, whether to marry the third princess or the fourth princess, or the second princess.
Gu Banqin wanted to stand up and shake Queen Chu's shoulders to make her sober up, is it really good that the mother of a country is so brainless?
Even if Helian Hongyi lacks a woman, he won't bring a princess back in the name of an envoy, right?
Not to mention, this Queen of Chu seems to be aiming for the identity of Empress Helian Hongyi for the fourth princess.
Zhang Guifei was a little more sensible: "By the way, have you heard that the Emperor of Great Qi will bring which concubine to come?" I heard that he has a special favorite concubine, will he accompany him this time? ”
At the mention of this, the enthusiasm of the princesses for discussion was slightly reduced, and the third and fourth princesses glanced at each other, shook their heads and said:
"This eldest brother didn't say anything, and we didn't ask. No matter how much the Emperor of Great Qi spoils a concubine, it is impossible to take her to envoy Chu State. ”
The words of the third princess made the fourth princess very much in agreement.
Empress Chu said: "I have read the national letter of Daqi, but I haven't seen any concubines on the attached list, so I shouldn't have come over." ”
After getting the official refutation of the rumors by Queen Chu, the third princess and the fourth princess all laughed happily and secretly.
Helian Hongyi's fan group continued to chat for a while, leaving Duan and Gu Banqin aside and not talking, and Duan also wanted to communicate with Gu Banqin about the news.
Fortunately, there is still reason, and no one here knows Gu Banqin's identity, but the Duan family also feels that Helian Hongyi is not good at coming this time, and he should be coming for Gu Banqin, and he will work like this, he should not be here to find a stupid girl to seek revenge, if he is here to pick someone back, then the stupid girl is probably going to be happy.
The silly girl sitting behind her was leisurely eating pastries at this time, just boiling hot water in front of her.
A good tea tasting party, because of such a little news from Helian Hongyi, it completely attracted the women of the Xiao family's harem, and the Duan family and Gu Banqin were dried from the beginning to the end.
Until Queen Chu was entangled by several princesses, she had no choice, and her mind jumped to find the court tailor to cut clothes, so she dismissed everyone in the Tea Water Pavilion, and when she passed by Gu Banqin and them, she heard them happily discussing.
On the day of welcoming the Daqi Mission, what to wear, what to wear, and how to look like Yunyun, it was as if Helian Hongyi really came to them on a blind date.
Gu Banqin couldn't have imagined that the Xiao family's harem was like this, and he didn't know how Helian Hongyi felt after hearing about it.
Queen Chu and they are gone, Duan's they have no meaning to stay, where did the two come from, and where did they go, after getting on the sedan chair, Duan's couldn't help but ask Gu Banqin:
"Hey, did you say Helian Hongyi came to pick you up? Or are they looking for revenge on you? ”
Gu Banqin glanced at Duan helplessly: "Mother, me and him...... How can there be such a big hatred? The implication is the former.
Duan turned his head to look at Gu Banqin, with a thick inquiry in his eyes: "Why do you listen to your tone, it's very different from before?" ”
Gu Banqin blinked, looked out on the street from behind the curtain, and muttered softly: "What's different here." ”
Duan pulled Gu Banqin to turn to himself, his eyes carefully studied Gu Banqin's face for a long time, and Gu Banqin was a little impatient when he saw it, and Duan Shi came to a conclusion:
"It's just different. When you mentioned Helian Hongyi before, you didn't have this expression. ”
"What was my expression before? That's all. Gu Banqin insisted.
Duan shook his head: "No, no, you mentioned Helian Hongyi before, you felt like you were going to cry, now, look at it, this little face is moisturized, I can tell you, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, even if he comes to Chu State, he may not be looking for you." ”
Gu Banqin didn't feel much about the cold water that Duan was pouring on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'm not hopeful, this is always okay, right?" ”
After finishing speaking, the smile on Gu Banqin's lips revealed her real inner drama at the moment, and Duan couldn't help but sigh when he saw it in his eyes, secretly hoping that she wouldn't be hurt again.
The sedan car stumbled back to the house, and when the curtain of the car was lifted, Gu Banqin seemed to see a familiar back, which was wearing the clothes of a guard, but even if it turned into ashes, Gu Banqin could recognize it.
Duan got out of the carriage first, Gu Banqin handed his hand to the maid, and glanced at the guard disguised by Helian Hongyi, and saw that he had a beard sticky on his face, and he looked extremely rough.
His eyes gestured to Gu Banqin, and with the tacit understanding between the two, Gu Banqin understood what he meant, and after getting out of the carriage quietly, Gu Banqin said to Duan:
"Mother, I want to ...... Go shopping on the streets. ”
Duan Shi looked back at Gu Banqin: "Want to go shopping?" Wait until I change my clothes and go with you? ”
Gu Banqin shook his hand: "No, no, it will take at least an hour for you to remove your makeup, I will come back after shopping for this time, I will go by myself, you can send someone to carry things for me." ”
Duan thought about it, even if the outfit for entering the palace this time was not so complicated, it was quite troublesome to take it off, and looked at the pile of guards next to the convoy, and at a glance he took a fancy to a tall guard, with a beard on his face, looking very powerful, beckoning to him, and the man came over and bowed his head and hugged his fists to say goodbye, and his voice was very low: "Madam." ”
Duan said: "Yue'er is going shopping, you go with you, don't protect it." ”
The guards here were all assigned by Chu Xiaocheng to the Duan family, and it is said that they were all Chu Xiaocheng's cronies, so the Duan family was very relieved.
