Chapter 242: Fang's Summoning
"Then why did you let me drink it in the first place?" Gu Banqin sat up straight from Helian Hongyi's embrace and asked Helian Hongyi aggressively.
Helian Hongyi's expression was embarrassed and full of regret, and he hesitated: "That, that's not what I asked you to drink, yes, the Queen Mother let ......"
Gu Banqin crossed her hands on her hips, an angry look appeared on her face, and directly and mercilessly exposed Helian Hongyi's words: "The medicine given by the Queen Mother, will you not know?" Do you dare to say that you didn't acquiesce behind this? ”
Helian Hongyi coughed dryly, his eyes dodged left and right, Gu Banqin looked at him like this, and the breath that had just calmed down rose again:
"So, why did the emperor punish catkins this time? The original medicine was indirectly sent by the emperor, and I want to continue drinking it now, but I am just following the emperor's ideas, and there is nothing wrong with it at all. ”
Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin, who was puffing up, and was expressionless for a while, and after a while, he smiled with a shy face that was extremely undignified: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't punish her, it's my fault, it's all right?" ”
Reaching out to pinch Gu Banqin's cheek, Gu Banqin was unceremoniously knocked off when he reached out.
Helian Hongyi covered the back of his hand, and he was helpless: "So, didn't I apologize, the matter of the medicine, and the things I did before, Niangniang, you are an adult, forgive me." ”
If a few months ago, someone said to Helian Hongyi that he would commit such a crime of dignity, put down his image, and coax a woman like a two-skinned face, Helian Hongyi would have broken that person's head without blinking.
But at this moment, in order to pull back Gu Banqin's heart, Helian Hongyi actually said so many words that even he felt numb, and he still felt a little happy in it.
For such Helian Hongyi, Gu Banqin has no choice, she is a typical eater of soft and not hard, if Helian Hongyi comes with her, even if she surrenders on the surface, but her heart is absolutely unconvinced!
will definitely hold his breath, either block his heart, or take revenge in other places, but Helian Hongyi, who let go of his self-esteem and deliberately curry favor with himself, really makes it difficult for Gu Banqin to refuse.
Although he hadn't figured out whether he should let go of his previous decision and give him a child obediently because of his few words of goodwill, but now, Gu Banqin knew that he would simply be willful while he was still willing to coax her.
"You have to say hello to the catkins, give her a raise, and compensate her, otherwise you will suffer these grievances in vain?"
Gu Banqin made a request to Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her after hearing this, and seemed to have a little objection to her words, but Gu Banqin waited for a while, did not wait for Helian Hongyi's answer, turned his head and raised his eyebrows, Helian Hongyi softened, and nodded in resignation:
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll apologize to her, give her compensation, it's all right?"
Gu Banqin thought for a while, and said: "There is also that terrible medicine that is difficult to drink, since it is not a child-avoiding soup, then I don't want to drink it in the future, I drink it every day and my mouth is bitter to death, and my whole body is full of the smell of Chinese medicine." ”
Thinking of this, Gu Banqin felt a little frustrated, originally thought how powerful he was, insisted on his own opinion, and said that if he didn't want to give birth, he wouldn't give birth, and drinking the so-called 'shunzi soup' was called a boldness.
But now it seems that she is so bold, she is a stupid hat at all.
Helian Hongyi watched her drink those child-avoiding soups that couldn't prevent pregnancy at all every day, and he must have secretly laughed at her many times......
Liu Fu inexplicably recalled Lihua Palace from outside the Taihe Palace, originally thought that she was being punished in a different place, but after coming back, she found that she would rather continue to kneel outside the Taihe Palace, because the emperor's reaction was too terrifying.
actually told her, 'Concubine Xian and I explained the situation, I blame you'.
Such a sentence made Liu Fu stunned for most of the day and didn't come back to her senses, until the emperor began to reward her with things, and Niangniang came over and pushed her, and she remembered to kneel down to thank her. looked at her mother, and the mother nodded to her and asked her to accept it.
After pacifying the catkins, Gu Banqin sent Helian Hongyi to the outside of Lihua Palace, Helian Hongyi grabbed Gu Banqin's hand and said:
"Since you have said everything today, then you promise me that you must think about it, and now you are the only one in my harem who can do this."
Gu Banqin's face flushed, looking down at her toes, Helian Hongyi pinched her cheek: "At the end of the year, there are many things in the front and harem, if you feel that it is too tiring, just explain the matter, let them do it, don't do everything yourself, and wait for next spring, I will take you to the peach forest in the outer mountains to play." ”
The peach forest in the outer mountains is a royal garden, and Gu Banqin has really never been there.
could feel Helian Hongyi's accommodation to her, Gu Banqin sighed, smiled at Helian Hongyi, and told him: The emperor should also pay attention to his body.
The two said goodbye, Helian Hongyi walked for a while and looked back at her, Gu Banqin stood in front of the palace gate, and waited until Helian Hongyi came out of the corner before she turned back and entered.
With thoughts in her heart, Gu Banqin always felt that her heart was still stuffy, sitting on the recliner under the grape trellis, and after a while, a eunuch came to pass the word, and the Queen Mother summoned her to Cining Palace.
The Fang clan had exempted Gu Banqin from asking for peace in order to isolate Gu Banqin, and there was nothing to do on weekdays, so Gu Banqin had not been summoned to Cining Palace for a long time.
I didn't dare to delay, and after going in to freshen up and change clothes, I took the ninja grass and catkins to Cining Palace.
There weren't many people in the harem, Su Liangyuan, Shi Liangyuan had been sent out of the palace before, Concubine De, Concubine Shu had an accident recently, and the only people who can still appear in Cining Palace in the harem are Du Liangyuan and Fang Liangyuan, the niece of the Queen Mother.
After Gu Banqin arrived, Fang didn't talk nonsense with her, and directly said to Gu Banqin:
"It's the end of the year soon, and the banquet at the end of this year is still arranged by you, but what's the problem?"
Gu Banqin was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Fang clan was here to ask her about the avoidance of the child's soup, but she didn't expect to ask such a serious topic, the last time Helian Hongyi's birthday banquet arrangement was unanimously praised by the government and the opposition, and even the Fang clan had to admire Gu Banqin's organizational ability.
"Yes. In fact, when the emperor's birthday banquet, the concubines have already begun to order people to prepare for the banquet at the end of the year, a few days ago, the concubines have already read the general process, and the places that need to be changed are also let people know, and after two days all the arrangements are made, the concubines will go back and forth to the queen mother. ”
Although Fang's doesn't like Gu Banqin, he can't deny Gu Banqin's ability to do things:
"Well, you've seen it. At the end of the year, envoys from various countries came to celebrate the New Year, and this year, there is also a delegation of Chu envoys who have not been in contact with us for a long time to come to Beijing, and the specifications of welcoming foreign guests need to be slightly improved. ”
At the end of the year, Gu Banqin had heard about the foreign envoys coming to celebrate the New Year, but he had not heard that the Chu Kingdom was coming.
Chu and Daqi are the two largest countries on the mainland, in previous years, when Zhao was in power, Chu was powerful, and there were Helian clans in the north to guard, so they did not attack the Central Plains, and later because of Chu's internal strife, ten years of instability in the court, there was no time to attack the north, who knew that only a few years later, the north has changed hands, and became Daqi.
Therefore, at this point, Gu Banqin still admires the first emperor Helian Bai, he is bold and careful, when he is a courtier, he is loyal, and people can't see the opposite, but once he seizes the opportunity, he quickly captured the northern country and established Daqi when he had no time to take care of the civil turmoil in Chu.
Now that the civil strife in Chu is over, Daqi has been recuperating for many years, and now the national strength has recovered considerably, coupled with the fact that the defense of the Helian clan army is not comparable to that of the northern country, the Chu State has missed the best period of capture, and when it is a pity for itself, it can only be reconciled with Daqi.
"Yes, the concubine knows. Thank you Queen Mother for reminding me. ”
Fang Shi looked at Gu Banqin's impeccable answer, and couldn't help but think of her deference when she was Baolin at the beginning, at that time, Fang Shi was also deceived by her honest appearance, if she knew that Gu Banqin was a fox in rabbit skin, she would have stopped anything.
But now, Gu Banqin is no longer something she can stop.
The emperor paid more and more attention to her, and the harem was also managed by her in an orderly manner, so that the Fang family couldn't find fault with it.
Concubine De and Concubine Shu were considered big hits in the harem before, but they met Gu Banqin, these two noble-born and well-informed women, who had never done a few tricks under Gu Banqin's hands.
It was rare to hear the news that the emperor was going to kill Gu Banqin, and the Fang family secretly looked forward to it in his heart, thinking that as long as the emperor killed Gu Banqin with his own hands, the daughters of their Yan family would be able to come up a few, but who would have thought that Gu Banqin's life was so big that the secret guards failed to kill her, and finally found it back for the emperor, and she became even more favored.
"Do you have any plans for next spring's draft? Now although the affairs in the harem have been handed over to you, but like this kind of big thing, you can't do it alone, after all, it is a show girl who was selected into the palace, and you must pay attention to all aspects, you still follow the mourning family this year to learn. ”
didn't want to see Gu Banqin talking to himself calmly, Fang wanted to destroy Gu Banqin's good mood, so he deliberately mentioned the draft.
Fang's family can shirk the big and small affairs in the palace, but they are still willing to hold on to the draft, the show girl fills the harem, and there are more people, so that Gu Banqin has a sense of crisis, lest she dominate the palace, and think that she is more capable.
This year's show girls didn't think about it, the emperor didn't fancy any of them, Fang felt that next year's session must choose a few gorgeous crowns to enter the palace, no matter what background, as long as it can break the situation that the emperor favors Gu Banqin, it will be a good one.
As long as the emperor breaks a ring, then breaks the second and third, I believe that it will not take long to realize the fact that the harem is evenly stained with rain and dew.
Gu Banqin looked at Fang's expression, and could almost guess what she was thinking in her head, she must have wanted to find a few people who would enter the palace, let Helian Hongyi change his mouth, and tell Helian Hongyi with practical actions that Gu Banqin was not the only one who was beautiful in the world.
In fact, this is not Gu Banqin's idea.
