"Catkins, do you think I'm in the belly of a boy or a girl?"

Gu Banqin asked Liu Banqin like this, Liu Wu didn't think about it, and replied directly to Gu Banqin: "Of course it's a little highness." The mother loves to eat so much, the old lady in the palace said, sour and spicy girls, the one who loves to eat sour is His Royal Highness. ”

Seeing Gu Banqin's smile on the corner of her mouth, Liu Wu couldn't help asking:

"So, mother, do you want to have a boy or a girl? Did the emperor say it? ”

Gu Banqin thought of Helian Hongyi, and a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth:

"I naturally want to have a boy, but there is no absolute thing about this kind of thing, and no one can see whether it is a man or a woman in the belly, let it be, the emperor...... It's good to say that you want girls. ”

Liu Wu brought a coat and put it on Gu Banqin: "The emperor treats the mother really well, if the mother gives birth to a little highness this time, the emperor must be happy." I don't know if I will give a reward to my mother, and then we will be able to walk sideways in the palace. ”

Gu Banqin turned around and pinched Liu Wu's cheek: "Do you want to ask me for a reward, or do you want the people from Lihua Palace to walk sideways outside?" ”

Liu Wu stuck out his tongue and said playfully: "Naturally, I hope that Niangniang will be rewarded, Niangniang will be favored, and the people of our Lihua Palace can walk sideways outside." However, now in the palace, no one dares to do anything to Niangniang, since the concubine of the Lanyue Palace, the lady ......"

Speaking of Concubine Shu, Gu Banqin's eyes sank, and she pursed her lips and asked, "How is Concubine Shu doing?" Is the face recovered? ”

After thinking about it, Liu Fu replied: "The injury on the body of the lady concubine is no big deal, even if there are a few traces, you can't see it very much, but the slave maid heard that the people who are serving in the Lanyue Palace have not had a good time recently, and the lady concubine has been very harsh on the people around her since she was injured, and it is said that even the red-sleeved aunt she was serving personally went to the Inner Court Division, and wanted to do things in other palaces, so she really couldn't stand the torture of the lady concubine." ”

Gu Banqin sighed: "Is it so powerful?" Why didn't anyone tell me? ”

"The matter of the Lanyue Palace, the palace knows that Niangniang has been serving with the emperor a while ago, and she is out of the palace and an envoy, and naturally no one tells Niangniang about these small things in the palace, and she is upset with Tian Niangniang, and the slave maid heard that when the lady concubine Niangniang is sometimes angry, she will poke people with that kind of very thin hairpin, all of which are poked in the place where the clothes are covered.

Liu Wu changed Gu Cen's clothes, and while tying Gu Banqin with Gong Qi, he told her about the recent events in the Lanyue Palace.

After Gu Banqin finished cleaning up, he thought for a while and said to Liu Wu:

"You go and secretly call the red sleeves to me, you don't have to let Concubine Shu know."

Gu Banqin felt that she was already benevolent to Gu Nianshu, Gu Nianshu wanted her life, Gu Banqin later persuaded Gu Nianshu because of Helian Hongyi, but it was for Helian Hongyi's persuasion.

If it was because of herself, Gu Banqin didn't want to meet Gu Nianshu anymore, but now if she was in trouble in the palace, Gu Banqin couldn't just ignore it.

It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to ask Ping'an to retreat, and Liu Wu came over with red sleeves, and the red sleeves who used to follow Gu Nianshu were also considered to be red people in the palace, but after the fall of the Lanyue Palace, the first-class female official beside the concubine, Red Sleeves, also became depressed, Gu Banqin asked her to talk in the courtyard, sat on a chair under the grape trellis, and said to Red Sleeves:

"Look up."

Red sleeves knelt not far in front of Gu Banqin, heard Gu Banqin speak, only slightly raised his head, obviously much thinner and haggard than before, for Gu Banqin, Red Sleeves was embarrassed, in the past, she followed behind Gu Nianshu, did not say bad things about Gu Banqin, and did not bully the people of Lihua Palace, and now in the face of Gu Banqin, who is still favored, Red Sleeves can't hang up this face.

"Tell me, how is Concubine Shu doing?"

Red Sleeves knew what Gu Banqin called her over for, and was a little hesitant to seize this opportunity to confess to Gu Banqin, now everyone in the harem knows that Concubine Xian is the one who holds the power, if she is willing to pull her, where does Red Sleeves need to beg grandpa to tell grandma to find the Inner Court.

What's more, today's Inner Court Division is very different from the previous Inner Court Division, in the past, as long as there was silver, any palace could be replaced, but now after the harem system has been changed again and again by the virtuous concubine, the Inner Court Division doesn't even know who to find someone to stuff silver, and the key is that people don't accept it, so the red sleeves have no choice but to endure in the Lanyue Palace.

Red Sleeves felt that with Gu Banqin's current momentum, it was impossible to embarrass her with a little palace maid, if she really wanted to be embarrassed, it would be impossible to tolerate her coming in front of her, and directly sent someone under her to clean her up, and she didn't have to show up at all.

put his heart sideways and told Gu Banqin eloquently:

"Back to Concubine Xian, Concubine Niangniang has been ...... lately Not so good. The liver is hot, and he is in a state of rage every day, and he has to hit everyone a few times when he sees it, and the slave and maid ...... Slaves and maids are also ......"

Red Sleeves didn't say anything, pursed his lips, lifted his sleeves, and exposed his arms to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin was also startled when he saw it, and there were countless pinholes mixed in the bruises, which looked a little disgusting.

Seeing Gu Banqin's expression, Liu Wu waved his hand to the red sleeves, asking the red sleeves to cover his arms, Liu Wu took out a jar of plums and handed it to Gu Banqin, and let Gu Banqin contain one, which made him feel better.

Gu Banqin wanted to take over the plum jar, but was taken away by the catkins, and sighed faintly, Helian Hongyi not only had to take care of her, but also let the people around her take care of her, and she was not free to eat a few plums.

Raising his hand to Redsleeves, he said, "Get up." Concubine Shu is so crazy now, you should have come and told me earlier. ”

Red sleeves frightened: "The slaves and maids don't dare, the lady concubine is also in a bad mood due to illness, since the slaves and maids want to serve the mother, then this bit of bitterness is actually nothing, the slave maid has rough skin and thick meat, and the forbearance is over, the bitter is some small palace maids in the Lanyue Palace, the little eunuch, when the mother is in a bad mood, she is willing to toss them, say something that should not be said, there are two small palace maids because they speak louder, they were sent by the mother to sew half of their mouths, and now life is better than death......"

Gu Banqin was almost disgusted when she heard it, Gu Nianshu's behavior can be said to be perverted.

Red Sleeves said these words to Gu Banqin, and she was also very worried in her heart, she really didn't know what Gu Banqin would do, if she was sent back to Lanyue Hall directly, if she was sent back to the Moon Palace alone, once Concubine Shu knew that she had said this to Concubine Xian, it was estimated that she would suffer another good torture, and maybe her life would be lost.

Therefore, when Gu Banqin waved her hand, Red Sleeves knelt on the ground and begged Gu Banqin for mercy:

"Ask the virtuous concubine to save the people of our Lanyue Palace, save the slave maid, the slaves and maids really can't stand the abuse of the concubine Niangniang, there are two small palace maids who have been sewn half of their mouths, and there are two little eunuchs whose hands and feet have been poured with boiling boiling water, and the slaves and maids are full of pinholes, I really can't stand it, if the slaves and maids are allowed to go back like this, the slaves and maids will definitely die."

Gu Banqin looked at the red sleeves and sighed helplessly: "Get up, if I don't know about this matter, it's fine, and I won't sit idly by if I know." Liu Wu, you go and ask the Chief Manager Liu and Chief Fang of the Inner Court Division to come to see me, and on the grounds that Concubine Shu has an epidemic, within today, all the people who are serving in the Lanyue Hall will be removed. ”

Red Sleeves was surprised that Gu Banqin acted quickly, and was stunned to the side, but Liu Wu quickly took the order, Gu Banqin looked at the miserable Red Sleeves who was kneeling on the ground, walked over and personally helped her up, and said:

"I'm sorry for you, after the Inner Court Division moves all the people from the Lanyue Palace, you will first live in the people's house to recuperate, and I will let the imperial doctor come over to treat you."

The red sleeves had a sour nose, and after thinking about it, he still knelt down for Gu Banqin, kowtowed and said: "Niangniang's life-saving grace, the slaves and maids are unforgettable." It's just that Concubine Shu said that if we dare to resist, she has a way to ...... our family Please also ask the good people to do it to the end, and save the families of the slaves and maids. ”

"Don't worry, Concubine Shu is sick, she can't do anything to your family. You get up, go to the catkins and their house to sit for a while, and wait for the two chief managers of the Inner Court Division to come later, I will tell the matter to go down, and you will follow them over, how many people in the Moon Hall are you most familiar with, no matter how injured they are, take them out and go to the people's house, and you will help take care of them during this time. ”

Red Sleeves listened carefully to Gu Banqin's words, nodded again and again, wiped away her tears and said: "Don't worry, the slaves and maids must take care of them, they are all poor children, slaves, slaves...... Thank you Niangniang for saving her life, the slave and maid were offended in the past, thank you Niangniang for ignoring the past suspicions, the slave and maid will change their minds in the future, be a good person, and no longer do the bullying thing, which will increase retribution. ”

Gu Banqin asked Qingyun to take Red Sleeves to rest, and Liu Wu called the two managers of the Inner Court Division after a while, and after Gu Banqin explained to them the affairs of the Lanyue Palace, she asked Qingyun and Red Sleeves to follow the two managers to do errands.

Liu Wu came forward and said to Gu Banqin:

"Mother, what should I do next? You can't keep saying that the lady is sick. I believe that it won't be long before the Queen Mother will definitely know about it, and maybe Mrs. Gu will also know, and ...... then."

Liu Wu's words were not finished, but Gu Banqin knew what she meant, and after thinking about it, she instructed Liu Wu:

"Later, you will go and spread the news of Concubine Shu's illness out of the palace, let the Gu family know, and then let Jia Jinlu go to Cining Palace to spread the word, and wait and see what happens."

"Yes, slave and maid will do it." To do this kind of thing of delivering news, Liu Wu is very good at it, and handed it over to her and Jia Jinlu, Gu Banqin is very relieved.
