Duan was drinking tea and eating dim sum, and when he heard Gu Banqin ask, he put the dim sum on the plate, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, I'm doing well, the eldest lady doesn't dare to really do anything to me, I don't care about cold words, it's her own anger."

Duan said this, Gu Banqin believed that even if the eldest lady hated her and Duan in her heart, she could only say some cynical words on the surface, what did she really do......

But Wang is not a vicious person.

"Did you eat and wear it? She likes to do these things the most, doesn't she? ”

The eldest lady's trick is nothing more than to fine you money, fine you money, and give you small shoes, Gu Banqin is worried that the Duan family will be wronged in the Gu family.

"She withheld hers, I lived mine, it was irrelevant. You can rest assured. ”

Gu Banqin saw that Duan's refusal to say the details, so she knew that the Wang family must not wait for her to wear her small shoes, but she didn't want to say it to worry herself, a slight sense of guilt flashed in her heart, and she whispered to Duan:

"Mother, I'm sorry, if I hadn't quarreled with the eldest lady on the last time I saw Gong Day, she wouldn't have troubled you."

Gu Banqin only wanted Helian Hongyi to know his determination at that time, and he also expected that the Wang family would not dare to really do anything to the Duan family, but now if he wants to say that he has no regrets, it must be false.

After all, the Duan family lives in the prime minister's mansion, and a housewife has to embarrass a concubine, and there are many ways, and the Duan family is having a hard time, so she can't feel at ease.

Duan saw the guilt in Gu Banqin's eyes, his expression became serious, he slapped the table, and said:

"Say what's sorry? Why shouldn't you quarrel with her? If you don't quarrel with her, she will want you to be a stepping stone for Gu Nianshu, and then our mother and son will die, let me tell you, in this regard, don't give me a fool. ”

Gu Banqin looked at the Duan clan and said, "I'm not confused, I don't want you to feel better." ”

"If you want me to live a better life, it's not for you to send yourself to others and use it as a knife for others, they only think about the four girls, where do they care about our life or death? If you want to obey her wishes, we will be peaceful in front of you, and when you are useless, they will clean up next with us. ”

Duan's has always understood that Gu Banqin has always felt that Duan's has his own ideas and insights.

"What do you mean, mother...... Do you want me to compete for favor in the palace all the time? Pressing Gu Nianshu, being a concubine, being a queen? ”

Gu Banqin is naturally free of taboos in front of the Duan family.

When Duan heard her say this, he covered Gu Banqin's mouth and frowned, "Are you crazy?" Can you say this kind of thing casually? ”

Glancing at Gu Banqin angrily, Duan continued:

"I don't mean to let you compete for favor, but to ask you not to agree to do things for the eldest lady and Gu Nianshu."

"You, don't think about borrowing the Gu family's momentum, the Gu family's momentum is not something you can borrow, whether the eldest lady is coercive or tempted, you have to stabilize yourself, do you know why?"

"Because you have already entered the palace, it is equivalent to breaking away from the Gu family, the Gu family will never be able to give up Gu Nianshu and support you instead, even if Gu Nianshu can't go up, your father and uncle will rearrange the Gu family's daughters into the palace in the future."

Duan's lips pouted slightly, "In their eyes, the identity of the concubine is the difference between cloud and mud, the concubine should be inferior, if the concubine occupies the position of the concubine, it is an unforgivable crime, since you have already gotten off their ship, then you must not go up again, and live your little life in the palace." ”

Gu Banqin couldn't help but applaud Duan's long speech after listening to Duan's tirade, but she didn't expect Duan's not only to be insightful and have ideas, she simply understood better than others.

"I heard that the emperor has been very fond of you recently?"

After Duan said those words, he asked Gu Banqin again.

Gu Banqin's eyes blinked twice, and Zhiwu nodded: "Well, a little bit." ”

"Hmph, he even took you with him for such a big thing as praying for blessings, I don't look like a little bit."

Duan exposed Gu Banqin's modesty, and Gu Banqin smiled:

"The emperor spoils me, isn't it very good, didn't you just say that I should not be a knife in someone else's hand, then I will make my own knife."

Gu Banqin thought that if she said this, she would be affirmed by Duan's family, but she didn't expect Duan's to roll her eyes again:

"You are confused! I asked you not to be the knife in their hands, that is because I don't want you to be unloaded and killed after your hard work, but you should also be leisurely, the palace is not as good as the outside, who is the man you are serving now? It's the Emperor! He is the lord of a nation! It is the supreme ninety-five! ”

"There is no man in the world with a higher status than him, do you think you can tie such a man for a lifetime? Yes, men like to be beautiful, and you are indeed beautiful, but I ask you, how many years can you last this beauty? ”

"A year? Two years? Or five years, six years? Five or six years later, when you get tired of you and like something else that is more beautiful and fresher, what will you do at that time? ”

"I ...... What to do? Gu Banqin asked with a snort.

"Yes, I ask you, what will you do then? The limelight is too strong, and you offend everything you can in the palace, and when you fall out of favor, what do you think you can do? ”

Duan really wanted to pry open this stupid girl's head to see if it contained tofu brains.

Gu Banqin moved her throat, she was told by the Duan family that she didn't feel very good in her death hole, and she didn't want to compete for favor in the palace, but she couldn't help herself, there was no way!

But I can't tell Duan Shiming about this.

"I told you just now, as long as you are good in the palace, the eldest lady will not dare to do anything to us, this is good, not to let you compete with others for favor to a certain height, the key is to see how long you can stay in the palace safely, everything must have a degree."

"The emperor spoils you today, then you won't continue to attract pain tomorrow and make way for other concubines, so that if you share the burden, the hatred of the ladies in the palace will not all fall on you alone." No matter when, low-key and mediocre people always live the longest, understand? ”

These are also the ways of survival of the Duan family in the Gu family.

Gu Banqin understands that since the day she entered the palace, she has been living like Duan said.

But...... Plans can't keep up with the changes!

"Talk, do you understand?"

Seeing that Gu Banqin was starting to be stupid again, Duan couldn't help but reach out and pat her, Gu Banqin avoided Duan's hand and said, "Understood." ”

Maybe Gu Banqin's tone was a little impatient, so Duan suddenly came over and asked Gu Banqin: "You...... It can't be that you like that emperor, right? ”

Gu Banqin made a loveless face to the Duan family, and wanted to tell all the behind Helian Hongyi's back to the Duan family now, but fortunately he stopped it at the last second.

How did Duan know the bitterness in Gu Banqin's heart, and thought that he had guessed correctly, so he took Gu Banqin's hand and said earnestly:

"Silly girl, let's be sober, okay?"

Gu Banqin withdrew his hand and assured Duan:

"Mother, don't worry, I didn't like him, I didn't have it before, I didn't have it now, and I won't have it in the future."

But when she said this, Gu Banqin thought of the moment when Helian Hongyi gave her respect when she went up the mountain just now, domineering and gentle, which gave Gu Banqin a very different feeling, what is that feeling called?

The Duan clan didn't want to push Gu Banqin too hard: "It's best if you think like this." Forever and ever, don't forget who you are. Self-knowledge, these four words are the best secret to self-preservation. ”

Gu Banqin originally wanted to chat with Duan, but she didn't expect Duan's to sit in the meditation room for an afternoon, only to educate her, and criticized her for being too high-profile for a while.

Gu Banqin quibbled at first, but then she simply stopped talking and sat there listening to Duan's words. finally survived until after the time of Shen, Wang Shun's father-in-law came to pass the word, saying that the emperor would come back in a while.

Only then did Duan get up and say goodbye: "Remember what I said!" ”

Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin sent her outside the meditation room and watched her leave.

After Duan's words, Gu Banqin was also worried about his future.

The road of the favorite concubine has always been a road of no return, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!

Walking all the way back to the meditation room, Gu Banqin pondered to see if he wanted to find an appropriate time to tell Helian Hongyi about the security of life after retirement......
