Xie Zhaoyi didn't like Gu Banqin, this started from Gu Banqin's first bedtime, and now she sees Gu Banqin being favored day by day, from a Baojie to the head of the four concubines in a year.

This leap made Xie Zhaoyi jealous and hateful, and secretly expected Gu Banqin to fall out of favor, but day after day, Gu Banqin not only showed no signs of falling out of favor, but even became more and more favored, even if the emperor did not call other concubines to sleep in the past, he still slept in the Taihe Palace most of the time, but now, he almost stayed in Lihua Palace every night.

Xie Zhaoyi really wanted to be tough and make trouble with Gu Banqin, but in the end, today's matter is too small, Shen Jieyu really shouldn't be punished when she just entered the palace, and if she makes trouble, Xie Zhaoyi probably won't be able to get anything good.

"Hmph, since Concubine Xian said so, then what else can I do. However, even if you don't kill her, don't spare her! Otherwise, it will be difficult for the concubine to be a person in the palace. ”

Gu Banqin nodded: "This is natural, as long as you don't kill with a cane, Xie Zhaoyi can punish him as much as he wants." ”

This is Gu Banqin's heart, she can directly save Shen Qing and Liang Hong today, but in this case, those two girls who don't know the height of the sky will be even more fearless in the future, and they must always learn some rules, so that they can have a long memory, so that they will not lose their lives in such a rampage in the future.

However, since Gu Banqin said so, Xie Zhaoyi naturally wanted to give Gu Banqin a little face, even the punishment would not be that kind of bloody punishment, Xie Zhaoyi took a deep breath and said coldly:

"Punish the guilty maid for kneeling outside the warm palace for three hours."

The punishment of kneeling is not heavy, but with the requirement of three hours, it is not light.

Gu Banqin knew that this should be Xie Zhaoyi's final bottom line, so she didn't argue with her, and readily agreed:

"Okay, just three hours."

After the two discussed, Xie Zhaoyi invited Gu Banqin to sit inside, but Gu Banqin shook her head and refused, saying that there was still something to do when she returned to the palace, so she would not stay, Xie Zhaoyi personally sent Gu Banqin to the outside of Xiang Nuan Palace.

When Gu Banqin left, Liang Hong had already been escorted outside the palace, Shen Jieyu was crying and crying beside her, Liang Hong was escorted and kneeling on the cold blue masonry, her back was straight, although she did not resist, but her expression was also a 'I'm not wrong'.

Gu Banqin passed by her, and couldn't help but shake her head, Shen Jieyu wanted to catch up and talk to her, but Gu Banqin raised her hand to block it.

At this time, she didn't want to listen to Shen Jieyu crying anymore, Gu Banqin glanced at Liang Hong again, and then turned around and went back to Lihua Palace.

After returning to the palace, Gu Banqin asked people to heat up the soup that she hadn't eaten before, and then leaned on the soft couch, after eating one bite at a time, she rinsed her mouth, and fell asleep on the soft couch.

Gu Banqin stretched her waist, caught a glimpse of it was already a little dark outside the window, rubbed her eyes, and said to Liu Wu: "Is the emperor back?" ”

Liu Wu helped Gu Banqin to sit up and said: "In the afternoon, the emperor sent the chief manager of the king to come over and take a look at Niangniang, knowing that Niangniang was sleeping, so he didn't dare to disturb, and left the black rice cake made by the new imperial chef, and went back. ”

As she was talking, Caiping came over with a black rice cake, Gu Banqin took a look, said it was black rice, and it made people move their index fingers when they looked at it, and when Gu Banqin dressed her by the catkins, she solved a piece, sweet but not greasy, and it tasted good.

"Sister Caiping, have you noticed that our mother has been smiling a lot lately?"

Liu Wu straightened the hem of Gu Banqin's clothes, and said to the color screen on the side as if he was doing something.

Caiping glanced at Gu Banqin, pursed her lips and smiled, and did not speak, but from her ambiguous gaze, Gu Banqin saw what she meant, subconsciously touched her face, and wondered: Is it so obvious?

Liu Wu and Cai Ping looked at each other and smiled, Cai Ping seemed to remember something, and said to Gu Banqin:

"By the way, Niangniang, a quarter of an hour before you woke up, Shen Jieyu was waiting outside Lihua Palace with a palace maid, and the slave maid told her that you were resting and sleeping, but Shen Jieyu insisted on waiting until you woke up to thank you."

Gu Banqin began to solve the second piece, and after listening to Caiping's words, her brows furrowed, Liu Wu couldn't get used to these two people, and couldn't help complaining: "What's the matter with this Shen Jieyu, she always pesters our mother to do something, and now her mother has already solved a trip for her, and she dares to come over." ”

Gu Banqin didn't want to see them very much, so she waved her hand to the color screen: "Let them go back, just say that I have my heart, and I will use more brains when I talk and do things in the future." ”

Caiping received the order, but it didn't take long for him to come back again, and he was sorry for Gu Banqin:

"Niangniang, Shen Jieyu is kneeling outside the courtyard, and she can't be persuaded to get up."

Gu Banqin was stunned for a moment, reluctantly put the pastry in his hand back on the plate, and licked the crumbs on his fingers unsatisfied, before he sighed and said, "What does it look like to kneel outside?" Kneel in and kneel. ”

Gu Banqin was really annoyed by them, Shen Jieyu looked innocent and ignorant of the world, but now this kraft candy is the same.

Gu Banqin didn't treat them very well from beginning to end, how could they let them come to surrender so desperately. Did she give them some message that made them misunderstood?

If that's the case, Gu Banqin feels that it is really necessary to explain it clearly, otherwise she will have to eat and sleep if she has come to find trouble in the past three days.

Shen Jieyu and Liang Hong were led into the courtyard by the color screen, Gu Banqin stood on the corridor, waiting for them, Shen Jieyu and they saw Gu Banqin, there was no extra action, and they knelt down for Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin walked down the steps, came to Shen Jieyu, glanced at Liang Hong, got straight to the point, and said unceremoniously:

"I didn't mean to save her, you don't have to thank me. I can't help you anything, if you want her to be by your side, then find a way by yourself, in the harem, in addition to me, there is also the Queen Mother, you go to find the Queen Mother, and make her happy, not to mention transferring someone to your side, even other requirements can be met, why waste time with me. ”

Gu Banqin said everything she wanted to say in one breath, Shen Jieyu's eyes began to turn red again, and Liang Hong on the side knelt two steps forward and said to Gu Banqin:

"Niangniang, today's events are all the slave's fault, the slave and maid have no complaints when they are punished, but the mother's life-saving grace, the slave and maid have to thank you for everything."

When Liang Hong was talking to Gu Banqin, her eyes kept staring at Gu Banqin, without blinking, Gu Banqin looked at her condescendingly, feeling strange in her heart, Liang Hong's expression did not look like a palace maid, and what she said seemed to have another deep meaning, staring at Gu Banqin with burning eyes, there was no fear at all, this is ...... Got something to say?

After Gu Banqin pondered for a while, her eyes looked at Liang Hong, only to see that she still did not retract the gaze that fell on Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin pointed at Liang Hong, Liang Hong hurriedly knelt and climbed forward, after Gu Banqin hesitated, she still decided to give her a chance to speak, and sighed:

"Last time you said you would fold a rabbit lamp, is it true?"

Liang Hong was stunned for a moment, her eyes showed joy, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, the slave maid said that not only will the rabbit lamp be broken, but also other things." ”

Gu Banqin raised her eyebrows and said secretly: The reaction is quite fast.

Raised his feet and walked to the study, beckoned to Liang Hong, Liang Hong hurriedly got up, followed Gu Banqin to the study, and left a group of people in the yard to look at each other, when did Niangniang become interested in rabbit lamps?

As soon as Gu Banqin arrived at the door, the two little eunuchs guarding outside the study opened the door of the study for Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin let Liang Hong in, and then asked people to close the door.

led Liang Hong to the inner bookcase, took out a piece of paper that had not been written, folded it up for a while, and did not take the initiative to speak, Liang Hong looked left and right, and seemed a little uneasy.

Coming to Gu Banqin's bookcase, Liang Hong knelt down for Gu Banqin again, and Gu Banqin raised her eyes to look at her:

"If you just want to kneel, go and kneel in the courtyard."

Liang Hong shook his head and whispered to Gu Banqin: "The slave has something to say to Niangniang." It's about Niangniang's mother. ”

Gu Banqin folded the rabbit's hand for a moment, while folding paper, while walking out of the bookcase, and asked quietly:

"My mother? Do you know who my mother is? ”

Gu Banqin was already alert at this time, and the black shadow who broke into the palace and kidnapped her before leaving, he said about the Duan family, but before he finished speaking, he left, and after Helian Hongyi strengthened his defense, he couldn't enter the palace again.

Now that Liang Hong also mentioned this matter to her, where could Gu Banqin not be careful, while talking to her, she stabilized her, and slowly approached the door.

"Naturally, I know that Niangniang's mother's surname is Duan." Liang Hong said to Gu Banqin like this.

Gu Banqin smiled: "You know that my mother's surname is not strange, just say it directly, this is the palace, and you can't play any tricks." ”

This is a threat to Liang Hong, telling her that if she does it, then she will not be able to run out of the palace.

Who knew that Liang Hong just turned around on the ground, continued to kneel in front of Gu Banqin, and said bluntly to Gu Banqin:

"The slave and maid worked hard to get into the palace and come to Niangniang in order to tell Niangniang something about your mother." Liang Hong lowered her voice and said to Gu Banqin, who frowned and stared at her.

I only heard Liang Hong say to Gu Banqin word by word: "Niangniang's mother and slave maid are from the same place, and we are both from the Chu State...... Scouts. ”

After Liang Hong finished saying that, her eyes were fixed on Gu Banqin's face, Gu Banqin looked down at her, and she caught a glimpse of Liang Hong's sleeves that seemed to move slightly, and her gaze was firm and fearless, as if she was not worried about Gu Banqin's difficulty at all.

"Chu State?" Gu Banqin raised her eyebrows at Liang Hong in a sarcastic tone: "Spy? My mother? Have you seen my mother like that? She doesn't even dare to kill chickens, you tell me she's a spy? If you want to make it up decently, let's say, which palace sent you? ”
