Gu Nianshu was practicing in the music room at this time, and when she heard the report from the palace maid, Gu Banqin came to visit, and she was puzzled, so she stopped her fingers and waited quietly.

The old lady took Gu Banqin all the way over, passed by the flower hall for hospitality, and the study room with a dazzling array of classics, and came to the music room after a big circle.

Gu Banqin was stunned for a moment after looking at the people in the music room, it turned out that in addition to Gu Nianshu, Fang Liangyuan and Zhao Defei were also in the music room, Gu Banqin thought that when Gu Nianshu and Zhao Defei were still girls, the two were best friends, and now that they have entered the palace, it is normal for the two to be tired of being together, but why is Fang Liangyuan also there?

Although Gu Banqin had doubts in her heart, her movements were not slow, and she walked into the room with the same expression.

Where Gu Nianshu lowered her head and was caressing the strings with her white slender fingers, the music room occasionally sounded the sound of the strings vibrating, and the Feihe incense burner in the music room lit up the best incense, the smoke curled and the fragrance lingered.

Gu Nianshu noticed Gu Banqin's approach, but she didn't raise her head to take a look, and she didn't know whether she was disdainful in her heart or disdainful of seeing Gu Banqin.

Gu Banqin is not surprised, when she was in the Gu Mansion, Gu Nianshu treated anyone coldly and rejected people, Gu Banqin was used to it, and she came to beg for help, so she would not have any resentment.

Gu Banqin bowed the lower half of her body and saluted respectfully to Gu Nianshu and Concubine Zhao De:

"Meet the fourth sister, meet Concubine Zhao De."

Then Fang Liangyuan, who was lower than her, just smiled and nodded, which was considered a courtesy.

After Gu Banqin saluted, he sat down on a cushion nearby.

After Gu Banqin saw the salute, Gu Nianshu raised her head, raised her hand lightly, and said in a familiar voice: "Although you and I are blood sisters, but this is not at home, after entering the harem, it is better to come according to the rules, and you will still call me Concubine Shu in the palace in the future." ”

As soon as Gu Nianshu's words fell, Concubine Zhao Defei and Fang Liangyuan glanced at each other, their eyes inexplicable.

Gu Banqin just called Gu Nianshu's fourth sister not intentionally close, but she just asked for someone later, and she habitually pulled closer.

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Banqin decisively accepted this suggestion: "What Concubine Niangniang said is that it is the concubine Meng Lang." ”

Without waiting for everyone to be born again, Gu Banqin thought about it for a while, and it was better to go straight:

"The concubine shouldn't have come to disturb the cleanliness of the mother, but there was one less person in my palace yesterday, and it was the little eunuch in charge of personnel in my palace, named Jia Jinlu."

"Yesterday, I didn't come back after I went out to do errands, and the concubines also sent people to look for them everywhere, and I haven't found them yet, the concubines are soft-spoken, and they can't do enough to speak, so they have to go back and forth to the mother, and the mother assists in the affairs of the harem, and someone in this palace is missing, so naturally I have to report to the mother, and ask the mother to send a will, so that people can find it."

Gu Banqin said the problem in an orderly manner, and also showed that someone in this palace was missing, and you, the lady concubine who assisted in managing all the affairs of the harem, helped me find someone, this is your responsibility, and I can't shirk it.

Gu Banqin waited for Gu Nianshu to speak, but Gu Nianshu lowered her head again as if she didn't hear it, just rubbing the piano, and was silent for a while.

For a long time, he didn't say anything about Gu Banqin's speech, and Gu Banqin felt a little embarrassed standing there.

Gu Banqin couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, she said it so concisely, looking at Gu Nianshu's casual appearance, it seemed that she didn't plan to help.

Gu Banqin's eyes rolled, and she swept over to the side to watch the play quietly, Zhao Defei and Fang Liangyuan.

I saw Fang Liangyuan kneeling beside Gu Nianshu, looking at Gu Nianshu wiping the strings seriously, and guessed that he should have asked Gu Nianshu for advice on how to maintain the instrument.

And Concubine Zhao Defei sat a little farther away, facing the direction of Concubine Shu and Fang Liangyuan.

Gu Banqin thought that when she first came in, Concubine Zhao Defei was leaning on the arm pillow before, looking like she was listening to the piano leisurely.

However, after listening to Gu Banqin's words at this moment, she straightened up slightly, although her face looked detached and calm, but her tense instep and the left-sided posture of her cheeks showed that she was very interested in this matter.

Why is that?

Gu Banqin couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

While thinking about it, Gu Banqin slowly recalled that this morning, after greeting the Empress Dowager Fang, Concubine Zhao De uncharacteristically stopped herself outside the door of Cining Palace and talked to herself.

What was Concubine Zhao like at that time, huh...... Friendliness is certainly indescribable...... On the contrary, he looks aggressive...... As for what the other party said......

In a quiet atmosphere, suddenly Fang Liangyuan spoke, her attitude towards Gu Banqin was not good, nor was she pregnant, she only asked softly: "This little eunuch in Jieyu Niangniang's palace is lost, has Niangniang ever asked the Inner Court Division?" ”

Gu Banqin didn't understand the meaning of Fang Liangyuan's question, and before she could answer, Concubine Zhao Defei chuckled, took over Fang Liangyuan's words, and said softly:

"Fang Liangyuan, you see what you asked, Gu Jieyu is currently getting the holy favor, who in this palace doesn't know that Gu Jieyu is the only one who has the emperor's holy favor, and these minions in the palace who see people talk about people, and talk nonsense when they see ghosts, are not in a hurry!"

Concubine Zhao Defei covered her lips and smiled as she spoke, and continued, "This red man on the emperor's pillow, not to mention a lost person in the palace, is a lost dog next to Gu Jieyu, I'm afraid that those slaves will turn the harem upside down for Gu Jieyu, don't you say, Jieyu Niangniang?" ”

Concubine Zhao Defei was squeezing Gu Banqin in and out of her words, but her eyes didn't look at the latter, but stared straight at Fang Liangyuan.

This approach was not only strange for Gu Banqin, but also Fang Liangyuan was defeated in the eyes of Concubine Zhao De, and she didn't ask Gu Banqin anymore.

Gu Banqin was stunned when Concubine Zhao Defei was speaking, watching Concubine Zhao Defei cover her lips with a handkerchief and sneering.

Gu Banqin couldn't understand why this Concubine Zhao De always picked on her own thorns today, and she didn't provoke her?

If it's because of his sudden promotion, if he sees it, he will target it everywhere and stimulate it with words, and this palace fighting method is too off-putting.

If you want to talk about the experience of Gong Dou, Gu Banqin feels that Concubine Zhao De, who has gone through two dynasties, will not be at this level, so Gu Banqin is sure that the purpose of Concubine Zhao Defei saying these words is not just out of jealousy, not jealousy, that is...... Just to take care of him?

In the music room, Gu Banqin, Zhao Defei, and Fang Liangyuan talked about coming and going, and the words were full of wit.

However, Gu Banqin made up her mind, no matter what the other two said, all she wanted was Gu Nianshu's answer.

Since she has already begged Gu Nianshu to enter the palace, no matter whether she succeeds or not, she must say a word of accuracy to Gu Nianshu, whether she agrees to help or refuses her, she must also open her mouth.

At this end, Gu Nianshu's movements are elegant, but the action of wiping the strings is not slow, and there is an atmospheric and elegant taste between every move.

After being busy for a while, Gu Nianshu finally wiped all the strings and got up.

Fang Liangyuan on the side saw it clearly, and diligently picked up a small handkerchief from the small basin that had already been placed next to the desk, soaked it in the water in the basin, twisted it dry, and handed it to Gu Nianshu.

Gu Banqin looked at Fang Liangyuan's skillful service action, and her teeth were sour.

Gu Nianshu took the square handkerchief, wiped her hands, stood up from behind the piano platform, her eyes drifted to Gu Banqin, and said leisurely:

"Gu Jieyu wanted to order a search of the harem for the sake of a little eunuch, the matter is serious, although I am assisted in the harem by the will of the Empress Dowager Fang, I can't abuse my power like this."

"But Gu Jieyu has said a lot, since this person is a eunuch serving in the harem, this person is missing, whether he is dead or alive, I also have the responsibility to find someone, but I only have the order to search the harem for such a major event, and it should be reported to the Queen Mother first."

"Later, I will send someone to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace to explain the reason, if the Queen Mother responds to Gu Jieyu's request, I will send someone to inform you. Before that, Gu Jieyu waited patiently. ”

Gu Nianshu's words are not leaky, and the score is not bad, and others should praise it when they hear it, which not only expresses respect for the queen mother, but also shows that they will not despise the palace maids and eunuchs who serve in the palace, which can be said to be comprehensive.

But Gu Banqin heard it in his ears, but his heart was cold.

For the missing, if the rescue time is one minute slower, the life will be in danger, and when the procedure is completed, the daylily will be cold.

Gu Banqin was bitter in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly, she thought that Gu Nianshu was arrogant and cold, but her nature was like this, and in the face of her, a sister who was close to her blood, she would stand on her side.

Gu Banqin thinks that she is a young lady in the house, and she has not offended this sister-in-law anywhere after entering the palace, as the saying goes: Don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha. The glimmer of hope that Gu Banqin originally retained was gone.

Maybe in the eyes of Gu Nianshu, the sister who came out, she Gu Banqin was originally just a shield to enter the palace and a cannon fodder who suffered for her, she didn't even bother to perfunctory the slightest blood kinship on the surface, but she knew that in her heart, Gu Banqin was simply a dispensable dead person.

"The concubine obeys the order, so thank you to the concubine."

Gu Banqin replied in her mouth, her eyes looking at Gu Nianshu at the top, and the latter's face was alienated and indifferent in the mist.

Raising his eyes again, he glanced at Concubine Zhao De, who was watching the play on the side, and Gu Banqin suddenly said: "In this case, the concubine should continue to let people look for more around the muddy hall." ”

Gu Banqin could see it clearly, and after she said this, Concubine Zhao Defei's fingers in front of her abdomen moved, and her eyes flickered.

Gu Banqin had the answer in her heart, lowered her eyes, retired, and walked out of the music room.

Since Gu Nianshu was unwilling to help her, it made no sense for her to continue to stay in this Lanyue Hall with a shy face.
