Chapter 188: Out of the Palace
smeared rouge, and applied a light lipstick to Gu Banqin, which made Gu Banqin open her eyes and look in the mirror.
Gu Banqin smiled sweetly, feeling that today was really a happy day, not only did he get the permission of Helian Hongyi, but he could go out of the palace tomorrow, and at the same time, he might find a chance to meet the Duan family.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Banqin and Duan's have never met again, as long as she thinks that she may be able to meet Duan's tomorrow, Gu Banqin can't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Gu Banqin wanted to leave the palace, and Helian Hongyi approved it, but Helian Hongyi didn't expect that Gu Banqin would leave the palace the day after he agreed.
Looking at the fold officially written by Gu Banqin in his hand, Helian Hongyi had a very helpless feeling, as if he felt that he had jumped into a pit that Gu Banqin had dug a long time ago......
"Tomorrow?" Helian Hongyi took the fold to confirm with Gu Banqin, only to see Gu Banqin with a bright smile on his face, and nodded again and again: "Well, it's better to hit the day another day, just tomorrow, the concubine is ready." β
"Everything...... All ready? What do you want to prepare for leaving the palace? Helian Hongyi asked Gu Banqin.
Gu Banqin scratched the back of her head embarrassedly: "Just ...... I want to go and see my aunt by the way, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I came back in a daze, and I didn't say goodbye to my aunt, and now I haven't seen her for a long time, I miss her, and I prepared some medicinal materials and fabrics for her. β
Helian Hongyi only then understood that Gu Banqin was so anxious that he put down her fold, but he didn't approve it, Gu Banqin saw that he didn't move, and couldn't help urging:
"Didn't the emperor say that I could leave the palace?"
Helian Hongyi crossed his fingers with his hands and looked at Gu Banqin for a long time: "It's true that you can leave the palace, but tomorrow, I may not have much time to accompany you." β
Gu Banqin was stunned for a moment, her head was hot, and she said unusually straightly: "Huh? You don't need the emperor to accompany you. I'll go out on my own. β
Helian Hongyi squinted: "Don't you want me to accompany you?" β
Gu Banqin sensed the danger signal in Helian Hongyi's eyes, and hurriedly changed his smiling face:
"Uh...... It's naturally good that the emperor can accompany him, but the emperor is not busy, and it is naturally a more important state affair. I'm just going out of the palace to take a look at Lanxiang Building, and by the way, go to see my aunt. If only ......"
Gu Banqin was a little stunned when she said this, Helian Hongyi had a hunch that she would not be very happy to listen to what she was going to say next, and sure enough, after listening to Gu Banqin stunned for a while, she mustered up the courage to continue to Helian Hongyi:
"If my aunt keeps me, I'll stay with her for two days and come back."
Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to this very stupid and naΓ―ve girl, and only exhaled after a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, you not only want to go out of the palace alone, but also want to live outside the palace for two days?" β
If someone else said such a thing to Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi must have thought that person was crazy, but if the subject was replaced by Gu Banqin, Helian Hongyi didn't think it was so strange, and he just wanted to know why she had this thought.
Gu Banqin also knew that her request was a bit excessive, but she had her own considerations, and after hesitating for a while, she said to Helian Hongyi:
"I, I just want to go back and see how my aunt is doing, if she is not doing well, I want to take this opportunity to help her find a place to live from the outside, she is alone in the Gu family, I always feel uneasy."
For this reason, Helian Hongyi can figure it out:
"Last time, I mentioned to Gu Xiang that I wanted to find another place for your aunt to live, but Gu Xiang went back and asked your aunt, she didn't seem to be willing to move out, if it was for this, then it would be fine, you should ask her in person, if you are willing to leave the Gu family, I am still willing to help her."
Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi, looked at him in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.
When Helian Hongyi thought that he had something on his face, Gu Banqin knelt in Helian Hongyi's arms and caught Helian Hongyi off guard.
Gu Banqin's whole face was buried in Helian Hongyi's thigh, and a muffled voice came from below: "Your Majesty, you are so good." β
Helian Hongyi couldn't cry or laugh, his palms raised, and he wanted to pull Gu Banqin up, but when he saw her hairy head pillowed on his lap, he instantly changed his mind and put his big hand on the back of her head.
Thinking that she must be extremely moved at this moment, maybe there were already tears left, and she wanted to say something to comfort her, but before the mood could be brewed, Gu Banqin raised her head, so that Helian Hongyi's hand didn't have time to take it back.
I saw Gu Banqin's two eyes bright and snowy, where was the slightest touch in Helian Hongyi's imagination, and said to Helian Hongyi with a smile:
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do, you can quickly approve the excerpt for me, and then I will take it to Commander Bi to pick someone and ask him to pick a few powerful ones for me to leave the palace together."
Gu Banqin has not forgotten his current situation, he is suffering from enemies or something, of course, he has to take his bodyguards with him anytime and anywhere.
Helian Hongyi exhaled deeply, and the feeling of being dug and jumped hit again.
Gu Banqin saw that he still didn't move, so he simply took the cinnabar pen and put it in Helian Hongyi's hand, and then took Helian Hongyi's hand with a pair of hands and moved to a place where he could directly review it, Helian Hongyi didn't move, at her mercy, and wanted to say something, but he held back in time.
Gu Banqin looked at the bright and dangling word 'quasi' on the fold, happily turned around in place, very happy, and simply kissed it on the fold, then turned around, saluted Helian Hongyi, and went out happily.
Helian Hongyi put down the cinnabar pen, turned his palm to look, his eyes moved slightly, his palm slowly clenched into a fist, and stared for a while before letting go.
Gu Banqin selected more than 20 guards with strong martial arts from Bi Geng to leave the palace together, but these guards were all secret guards.
Brought a large bag from the palace, with catkins and ninja grass, with a waist card, swaggered out of the palace, the carriage walked to the Nanding Gate, Gu Banqin and the carriage of the household responded.
Led by the carriage of the household, I followed all the way to Suzaku Street, where Lanxianglou is located, Gu Banqin was dressed as a little woman, beautiful and lovely, and after getting off the car, she earned a lot of attention.
Tong sent a female official of the household department to introduce the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and after Gu Banqin went up to the second floor, he spread out the drawings, and the waiter of the Ministry of Works asked Gu Banqin face to face about some things that he didn't understand, and after getting Gu Banqin's answers one by one, he suddenly realized.
Originally, the Ministry of Engineering had the final say on how to decorate the upstairs, but it was Lord Tong who was polite and wanted to ask for Gu Banqin's opinion, and Gu Banqin himself was also playing other little Jiujiu in his heart, and wanted to take the opportunity of a business trip to do his own private affairs.
After going back and forth, there is nothing special to say, after the explanation, Gu Banqin went downstairs, and took a turn downstairs, the shopkeeper and the guys in the building did not know Gu Banqin's identity, but she was also a female official from the Ministry of Works, although she was polite, but it did not cause a sensation.
Gu Banqin picked out a few bags of snacks, and gave her silver as usual, and the female official of the household department sent her out, and asked her, "Madame, will you go back?" Why don't you take a stroll around Suzaku Street? β
Gu Banqin and Liu Wu stood outside the store and waited for Ninja to go to the carriage, and replied with a smile with the female official:
"I've been around Suzaku Street since I was a child, and there's nothing fun about it. I'll go to my house and see my aunt, and I'll be working for you here. β
The female official of the household department knows Gu Banqin's identity, and she also knows that although she looks young and kind, she is now the master of the harem.
It is said that even the queen mother has to give her three points of face, needless to say, the emperor is there, the word favorite concubine is well-deserved, just because Gu Banqin came over, so the household department specially sent a female official to greet her, where dare to snub Gu Banqin.
After the ninja grass put the carriage over, he personally waited for Gu Banqin to get into the carriage, stood outside, and waited until the carriage left the corner before turning back to the Lanxiang Building.
Liu Fu sat next to Gu Banqin, lifted the curtain with great interest and looked out, and said:
"Niangniang, is this the most lively street in Jiankang City? There are so many people. β
"That's not it, there are four streets in the health city, Chang'an Street, Zhuque Street, Central Street and Baihu Street, but the most lively is Zhuque Street."
Gu Banqin was also interested in what Liu Wu said, opened the carriage and looked out, sure enough, it was full of traffic, crowded, there was a special passage for carriages to enter and exit on Suzaku Street, and the carriage was separated from people, but there was no order.
"Did Niangniang go shopping here since she was a child? You must be familiar with it. "It's hard to come out of the ninja grass, you can feel it, and she is also quite happy.
"Mmmmmm, just play in this area, but it's just to go shopping, I didn't have the money to buy things here when I was a kid."
Gu Banqin said very naturally, but Liu Wu and Shinobu glanced at each other, Shinobu hurriedly lowered his head, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Gu Banqin saw that she had no voice, and when she looked back, she saw Liu Wu looking at Shinobu with a reproachful face, and couldn't help but intercede for Shinokusa:
"Hey, what are you staring at her for? She's not wrong, I'm a concubine, this is a fact that can't be changed, and no money should naturally be, don't be afraid, don't pay attention to her. β
Gu Banqin said naturally, and there was no sense of anger, so Rencao put his mind at ease. Glancing outside with sharp eyes, Gu Banqin hurriedly slapped twice on the wall of the car, and shouted loudly to the driver who was driving:
"Don't go to the front gate, let's enter through the back door, your car keeps going forward, and when you see two red lanterns, you stop, the back door alley is narrow, and the carriage can't get in."
The coachman who drove the car was also sent by Bi Geng, and his ostensible identity was that of a coachman, but in fact he was also a secret guard, but Liu Wu and Nincao didn't know, and they still thought it was some little eunuch from the Inner Court.
The driver replied, "Yes." β
Then Gu Banqin saw from the curtain of the carriage that the carriage passed by the alley to the main entrance of the Gu family, looking at the familiar gray and white exterior wall of the Gu family, Gu Banqin's heart was also mixed.
I think who would have thought that a concubine who was born and no one cared about at all would become the highest-ranking person among the daughters of the Gu family once she entered the palace.
Gu Banqin only wanted to see the Duan family, and didn't want to see the rest of the Gu family, if he entered through the main gate, it would definitely be impossible not to be alarmed, but if he went through the back door, it would be fine.
