After Wang Shun's father-in-law left, Gu Banqin made a gesture of invitation to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess grabbed Gu Banqin and said worriedly:

"You didn't hear clearly! The emperor summoned Miss Lin to the Taihe Hall to meet her. ”

Gu Banqin looked at the eldest princess and smiled.

"I heard it, it's not that my ears are bad, it's Miss Lin who the emperor has summoned, and it's not us, I know that the eldest princess entered the palace today, and she made fragrant tea in the morning, and in the entire harem, only my Lihua Palace can drink it, counting the hours, it should be able to drink, let's go quickly."

The eldest princess listened to Gu Banqin's words, and her worries were not only not alleviated, but she felt even more distressed for Gu Banqin.

"Well, don't hold on, it's a bad feeling, I know it. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don't hold it in your heart alone, it's too bitter. ”

Gu Banqin: ......

looked at the eldest princess with a question mark on her face, she really didn't understand why she suddenly became sentimental, took her hand and walked forward, and said with a smile as she walked:

"What's wrong with the princess? As long as these incomprehensible words are said, the emperor summoned Miss Lin, and it is not a big deal, I really think it's nothing, you ......"

But before Gu Banqin's words were finished, she was interrupted by the eldest princess: "Niangniang, if you treat me as a friend, don't pretend to be strong." ”

The eldest princess firmly believes that Gu Banqin's performance at the moment is a manifestation of emotional injury, and the more she doesn't care, the more the eldest princess feels sorry for her, which makes Gu Banqin a little overwhelmed.

After the two of them were outside for a while, they really saw Wang Shun's father-in-law walking out of Cining Palace with the third princess and Lin Yuxiu, and saw that Gu Banqin and the others were still there, and came over to say hello.

Lin Yuxiu followed Wang Shun's father-in-law to the Taihe Hall with an expressionless face, but after the third princess took two steps forward, she turned back to Gu Banqin and the eldest princess, deliberately showed off, and said to Gu Banqin:

"Oh yes, some people's favorite concubines are about to come to an end, you were favored in the past, but it was because Sister Yuxiu didn't appear, now you can see it clearly? Sister Yuxiu came back on the first day, and the emperor couldn't wait to summon her to meet her, this kind of feeling of being robbed of favor is not pleasant, right? ”

The third princess's face made Gu Banqin feel ridiculous, and she didn't plan to say anything to her, so she took the eldest princess's hand and walked towards Lihua Palace, no longer paying attention to the third princess who was so anxious because of Gu Banqin's ignorance.

Gu Banqin leisurely returned to Lihua Palace all the way, and the eldest princess was about to cry when she saw Gu Banqin 'pretending to be strong' like this.

It wasn't until Gu Banqin personally poured her tea that she finally couldn't help it, and took Gu Banqin's hand and was about to go out:

"Let's go, I'll go to the Taihe Hall with you, I can't watch you suffer."

Gu Banqin immediately stopped: "Don't don't, I really didn't suffer anything, the princess doesn't have to worry." Since I have become a concubine, where can I expect the emperor to favor me alone? There are so many sisters in the harem, if the emperor summons anyone casually, I will be sad, then I don't want to live, not to mention, the emperor is just looking for old friends to catch up. ”

After the eldest princess sat down, she sighed faintly: "Alas, you don't know what happened between the emperor and this Miss Lin in the past. ”

Although she was anxious, she couldn't bear Gu Banqin's urgency, and the eldest princess had to give up the courage to stand up for Gu Banqin.

Gu Banqin handed the teacup to the eldest princess and said with interest:

"I really don't know what happened in the past, and the princess can tell me while drinking tea."

Gu Banqin's mind is now full of Helian Hongyi's mental power, what can she do, if she can know some things about his past, there will always be some help, if the eldest princess can tell her, she will also like to hear it.

Gu Banqin is kind to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess naturally will not hide anything from her, and after drinking a sip of water, she told Gu Banqin about the past:

"Miss Lin has lived in the barracks since she was a child, her father is the general Lin Ying, the first military general under my father, Yuxiu is his only daughter, she has always been favored, even my father loves her in every way."

"There are no other girls in the army, she is the center of everyone, the emperor also grew up in the army since he was a child, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, the emperor is a few years older than her, the relationship between the two is very good, at that time my father wanted Yuxiu to marry my eldest brother, but after the emperor knew about it, he said that he would not say anything, until then, we didn't know that he also liked Yuxiu......"

Gu Banqin listened while eating, but it was not surprising to her, the two had no guesses, childhood sweethearts, Helian Hongyi may have really thought about others.

"And what about later? Why didn't the first emperor insist on this matter? ”

"After my father knew his thoughts, he rejected the Lin family the next day, saying that he didn't want their brothers to turn against him because of this matter, whether it was the eldest brother or the second brother, they couldn't marry Yuxiu as their wife, so after such a stumble, Yuxiu is now twenty-three, but she still hasn't married, alas."

The words of the eldest princess made Gu Banqin feel the strength of the first emperor's heart again, and only such a strong and courageous person can finally become a winner, lead the Qi family to rebel successfully, and establish supreme meritorious deeds.

He saw through everything early on, putting an end to the possibility of their brothers' centrifugation, this decision, seemingly ruthless, but full of love, he is a father's deepest love for his sons.

It's just that now it's not what it used to be, Helian Hongyi ascended the throne as the emperor, as long as he is willing, even if he overthrows the order of the first emperor, it is not impossible to marry the love of his heart.

But Gu Banqin couldn't help but question in his heart, with Helian Hongyi's strong character, if he really wanted to marry Lin Yuxiu, how could he not marry until today?

Gu Banqin doesn't think that because of the words of the first emperor, Helian Hongyi is tied up and doesn't dare to act?

How can it be!

Therefore, there must be other reasons.

After the eldest princess and Gu Banqin talked about the gossip between the Helian brothers and Lin Yuxiu back then, she didn't wait for Gu Banqin's surprise, but suddenly realized her expression, and then continued to drink tea and eat snacks.

"Isn't there anything you want to ask?"

Gu Banqin looked at her and shook her head: "Ask what?" Who hasn't had a green age? The emperor is also a human, and it's normal to like a girl who is a childhood sweetheart. ”

Regarding Gu Banqin's generosity, the eldest princess only felt speechless: "But, aren't you worried about the emperor's revival of his old feelings for her?" ”

"It's useless to worry, it's not something I can change if I'm worried."

This sentence is Gu Banqin's heart, Helian Hongyi sees people and does things based on their own judgment, and others can't influence them at all.

What's more, judging from Gu Banqin's judgment, Helian Hongyi's affection for that Lin girl is nothing more than Er'er.

The eldest princess sighed, and also felt helpless for Gu Banqin's helplessness, Gu Banqin couldn't help but comfort her when she saw her like this:

"The princess doesn't have to worry about me, since I am in the harem, I have already been prepared, Miss Lin is from a famous family, and the emperor is a good match for her, even if something really happens in the future, it is also a reasonable thing."

The eldest princess wanted to say something to Gu Banqin, and finally decided to talk carefully to Gu Banqin.

"Alas, there are some things you still don't know, the Lin family left Yuxiu to this day without marrying, for what, everyone knows it, if the emperor wants to renew his relationship with her, I'm afraid it has to be that position."

"Although I don't understand the affairs of the harem, I also understand that if the emperor really stands up, then you will bear the brunt, how can she tolerate you? After all, it's not just a battle of feelings, understand? ”

Although the eldest princess looks confused on weekdays, she thinks very clearly about this kind of big thing, which makes Gu Banqin surprised by this seemingly weak, but actually very principled woman.

She doesn't fight or grab, she only guards her own little happiness, and she has repeatedly mentioned Gu Banqin, the person who has helped her, this kind of character is really rare.

Gu Banqin naturally understood the meaning of the eldest princess's words, and the general Lin Ying kept his daughter until today and did not marry, which was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

And the Lin family is powerful, it seems that only the daughter of the Lin family can play a role in suppressing other families in terms of identity, so as to get stability inside and outside the government and the opposition, if Helian Hongyi is out of the consideration of stability, then Lin Yuxiu is likely to be the queen.

If this is the result, then Gu Banqin can't change anything, the relationship between her and Helian Hongyi is not the relationship between the real king's sole favorite concubine.

If Lin Yuxiu is the queen, as long as Helian Hongyi explains to her the role of Gu Banqin's shield, I believe Lin Yuxiu should also be able to understand, as long as Helian Hongyi understands, then Gu Banqin's life will not be in danger for the time being, anyway, it is the same job, working for Helian Hongyi or working for the queen, there is not much difference for Gu Banqin.

Seeing that Gu Banqin didn't speak, the eldest princess thought that she had scared her, and comforted her again:

"Okay, okay, I'm just saying that, although Yuxiu's temperament is stronger, but it's not necessarily the kind of person who can't tolerate people, anyway, I just remind you that when you see her in the future, you have to be a little respectful, even if it really happens in the future, you won't be hated too much by her."

Gu Banqin nodded: "Yes, I know." Thank you, Eldest Princess, for mentioning me. ”

Although Gu Banqin's thoughts in her heart couldn't be completely told to the eldest princess, she was still grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Because of Lin Yuxiu's arrival, Helian Hongyi has not been to Lihua Palace for three days, Gu Banqin is busy all day, but he doesn't think so, but Liu Wu, who loves to worry, doesn't think so, and finally can't help but come to Gu Banqin and say what he has been holding back for a few days:

"Niangniang, the emperor has taken Miss Lin to ride a horse and play polo for the past two days, and even political affairs are not as important as accompanying Miss Lin, rumors are spreading in the palace, saying that Niangniang is about to fall out of favor, why don't you react at all?"
