Chapter 285: Returning Home

Queen Chu is also very helpless, after all, Gu Banqin is a virtuous concubine, Chu Yanzhang really didn't tell her, she can't blame Gu Banqin for not saying it earlier, now that she has found out about the problem, she also knows how to remedy it, thinking that at most, she is a little disrespectful to Gu Banqin verbally, and it is expected that Gu Banqin should not be accounted for.

Helian Hongyi glanced at Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin looked up at Queen Chu, and when she saw that she raised a glass to herself, she also picked up the fruit brew in front of her, smiled slightly, and said by the way:

"Where, thanks to the queen's care these days, I have a good life in the Chu country."

The two clinked glasses in the air, drank the water and wine in their respective cups, Gu Banqin put down the cup, and said again:

"The queen is very enthusiastic, on the first day I came to Chu State, she thought about giving me a marriage."

The smile on Queen Chu's face froze, looking at Gu Banqin eager to pounce on her and bite her, her eyes were full of Gu Banqin's anger that she didn't say anything, and she was relieved, she also brought this matter out and said that it was too much.

Helian Hongyi quietly wiped the fruit brew on the corner of Gu Banqin's lips: "As far as you are a splash, it is a disaster to give it to anyone, so I am willing to accept you." ”

Such a sentence that could not be heard was angry, so that Queen Chu couldn't figure out whether Helian Hongyi was angry or not, and after hesitating for a moment, she explained with a smile: "At that time, the palace didn't know the identity of the mother, but I only felt that the mother was born well, but fortunately the marriage was not given, otherwise, I don't know what to explain to the emperor now." ”

Queen Chu has a bit of communication skills, at least she can successfully resolve the embarrassment, Helian Hongyi nodded to her, and Gu Banqin also smiled at her, and this matter can be regarded as the past.

Empress Chu secretly wiped a cold sweat, Zhang Guifei wanted to stand up and say a few words to Gu Banqin before, but seeing the fate of Queen Chu, she hurriedly stopped her greeting thoughts, and honestly stopped talking.

The three princesses held wine glasses in their hands and wine jugs, and walked on the imperial platform, which seemed to be led by the fourth princess, and the second princess and the third princess followed, Chu Yanzhang and Queen Chu didn't know what the three girls wanted to do, and Queen Chu reminded her:

"A few of you, you are here today, don't lose your courtesy." Turning his head to explain: "Oh, it's the three princesses, who have always been spoiled by me and the emperor, and are lawless. ”

Helian Hongyi held the wine glass and did not speak, Gu Banqin shrank back, as if he sensed the unkind momentum of the three princesses.

I only heard the fourth princess toast to Helian Hongyi, and after taking a deep breath, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "Does the emperor remember me?" ”

Helian Hongyi raised his eyebrows, and showed his meaning with his actions, the fourth princess was discouraged for a while, and immediately regrouped, and said to Helian Hongyi: "I am Chu Yunxia, the emperor was guarding outside the gate, and once saved the lives of the three of our sisters. ”

Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin shrugged her shoulders and said that she didn't know, remembering that she had heard a few princesses talk about this before, it should be true.

It's a pity that Helian Hongyi's mind at that time was not on women, let alone a few little girls who were not adults, and it was impossible to leave other impressions in his mind.

But anyway, when the little girl came to the stage to toast, even if he couldn't remember, he still wanted to give face and go out, picked up the wine glass, and drank with the three princesses.

The fourth princess swallowed the wine, and the third princess filled it again for her, and the fourth princess came to Gu Banqin, staring at Gu Banqin gloomily for a long time, and then said:

"There were many misunderstandings with Niangniang before, Niangniang, don't worry about me, let's have a drink."

Gu Banqin picked up the fruit brew in front of her, and was about to touch it, when she heard the fourth princess say: "Our sisters drink wine, and it is a little bad for Niangniang to drink water. ”

The palace maid who followed them before immediately sent the wine to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin looked at the tall silver wine glass in front of her, and the fourth princess didn't wait for Gu Banqin to refuse, so she touched the cup in front of Gu Banqin with the cup, and then said: "I'll do it first as respect." ”

Then she drank it all in one gulp, and drank two glasses of white wine in a row, Gu Banqin really didn't know what this little girl wanted to do, and looked at the second princess and the third princess behind her, only to hear the third princess sneering at Gu Banqin: "Our four sisters have drunk it all, but Niangniang still refuses to drink?" Are you unwilling to give my fourth sister face at all? ”

Gu Banqin naturally couldn't drink, and was hesitating how to refuse, Helian Hongyi's hand reached over, picked up the wine glass in front of Gu Banqin, and said to the fourth princess with flying cheeks:

"Concubine Xian is pregnant, so it is not suitable to drink, so I drink on her behalf."

After Helian Hongyi finished speaking, he drank all the glass of wine in front of Gu Banqin, and the faces of several princesses looked like they were hit again, and even Gu Banqin, who had a rich expression on the faces of the four princesses, couldn't help but smile at her.

The fourth princess pointed at Gu Banqin in a tone of anger, sadness, shock, and disbelief, "Are you pregnant?" ”

Gu Banqin's heart was sympathetic to this little girl, and pointed to her stomach to the fourth princess, the fourth princess finally couldn't help but burst into tears, turned around and pushed away the second princess and the third princess, and ran off the imperial platform.

Chu Yanzhang pointed to the fourth princess inexplicably, and glanced at Queen Chu, and Queen Chu whispered a few words in Chu Yanzhang's ear, and Chu Yanzhang apologized to Helian Hongyi: "Children are not sensible, and virtuous brothers should not care." ”

The fourth princess cried and ran away, the second princess and the third princess didn't have much point to stay, and blessed Chu Yanzhang and the Chu family, and then chased the fourth princess down the imperial platform, Gu Banqin slowly approached Helian Hongyi, and secretly said in his ear:

"You're really a curse, and it's not peaceful where you go."

Helian Hongyi looked wronged: "Alas, it's just that I am too good-looking." You can enjoy it wherever you go. ”

Gu Banqin: ......

"So, do you want to be better to me, or take me closer, there are more people out there who want me." Helian Hongyi peeled another orange for Gu Banqin, and whispered in Gu Banqin's ear with a smile.

Gu Banqin looked respectful and insensitive: "Who wants you and me, hurry up and take it away." ”

The two of you say a word, but they are not up or down for several rounds, and in the eyes of Queen Chu, they are really mixed, and their eyes can't help but glance at Duan's side.

Originally, she was still thinking that after a while, she would have to clean up the Duan family well, completely cutting off the possibility of her and the emperor, but now it seems that the plan has changed, and the Duan family has such a daughter who is a big Qi favorite concubine, and it is not so easy to clean up, so it is better to take care of it.

Thinking of this, Queen Chu was even more angry, before the emperor always told her to take more care of Mrs. Anshen's daughter, she thought that the emperor who had always been lustful had something to think about that little girl, but she didn't expect that there was such a reason behind it.

The emperor couldn't tell her to tell her plainly, causing her to waste so much emotion.

Helian Hongyi came to Chu as an envoy for only two days, and after the first day arrived, he discussed things with Chu Yanzhang in the cabinet, and did not return to the room until the next morning, Gu Banqin attended the banquet, and after going back, the palace maid of Daqi followed her to the courtyard where she and the Duan family lived, and packed up her things, saying that she was going to leave Chu the next day.

Duan's and Gu Banqin lived in the same room that night, and the mother and daughter didn't sleep all night, so they recalled the things they had when they were children in the past, and almost told everything about it, until Gu Banqin couldn't hold it anymore in the morning, so she fell asleep.

Gu Banqin slept very deeply, and when he woke up again, he was already lying in the convoy back to Daqi, and Helian Hongyi was leaning on the side and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Gu Banqin moved, and Helian Hongyi put down the book in his hand, leaned over and asked, "Do you want to drink water?" ”

Gu Banqin shook her head, got up slowly, sat up, Helian Hongyi put a super soft cushion on her waist, and poured her a glass of water and put it on the magnet board at hand.

"Why didn't you wake me up? That's it. ”

Helian Hongyi smiled: "If you don't want to go like this, what else do you want to do?" ”

Gu Banqin thought for a while: "Say goodbye to my mother." I slept with her last night and fell asleep when I couldn't remember where I was talking about. ”

"Your mother sent you out of the city, I said I was going to call you up, but she didn't let me, saying that it was good to watch you sleep like this." Helian Hongyi explained the situation to Gu Banqin.

When Gu Banqin heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Well, it looks like my mother would say it." She's always been so weird, I don't know where she came from, and sometimes I feel like she shouldn't have belonged. ”

Helian Hongyi didn't speak, Gu Banqin saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, mysterious and mysterious, and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?" I'm telling the truth, don't you think my mother is very different? It's also legendary. To be honest, I still haven't figured out how old she is. It's a failure to think about. ”

As soon as Gu Banqin woke up, he said so many words, Helian Hongyi was not annoyed, just listened, handed the water to Gu Banqin and asked her to take a sip to moisten her throat, Gu Banqin was obedient, and took a small sip with his hand, Helian Hongyi then spoke:

"Your mother is conservatively estimated to be forty this year."

Gu Banqin almost choked: "Huh? How do you know? ”

"I guess. In my impression, when Helian's family was outside the gate in the past, there seemed to be her as a character in Zhongyi Hall, from learning art to becoming famous, there must be at least twenty years, at that time she was in her twenties, and she also gave birth to Chu Xiaocheng with Chu Yanzhang, Chu Xiaocheng is twenty-five years old this year, think about it, if you count it like this, you can't beat it at the age of forty. ”

Helian Hongyi's words made Gu Banqin a little speechless in surprise, and only after a while did he come up with a sentence: "My mother, she...... I can't really see it. ”

However, thinking about Helian Hongyi's analysis, this is indeed the reason, not to mention anything else, Chu Xiaocheng's age is there.

"Oops." Gu Banqin suddenly high-fived, startling Helian Hongyi: "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi seriously, and said word by word: "I forgot to ask my mother for the art of residing in the face." ”

Helian Hongyi: ......
