Chapter 59: Visiting
Fang Liangyuan, who was pulled over by Du Liangyuan and used as a shield, glared coldly at Du Liangyuan beside him, as if he was saying: You brainless idiot, you can't even speak, what do you want?
Du Liangyuan was stared at by Fang Liangyuan, where did he dare to be close to her, stood up, returned to his seat in a gloomy manner, lowered his head and twisted his handkerchief, not daring to make a sound.
The faces of the women were not good, except for Gu Banqin, the atmosphere in Cining Palace was stagnant for a while.
It wasn't until the queen mother arrived that the embarrassing atmosphere was broken.
Empress Dowager Fang's arrival eased the atmosphere in the room a little, and after she arrived, she glanced at Gu Banqin, last night, when the Empress Dowager received the news that the emperor had promoted Gu Banqin, she was stunned for a long time, she originally disagreed with this matter.
A concubine with no family background, it is a royal grace to make her a six-grade Baolin, and Sanpin Jieyu is not afraid of her blessings.
Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to go to the Palace of Cultivation to persuade the emperor to take back her fate, but if she really couldn't resist the emperor, she would give her a four-grade good lady to be a good woman, didn't you see that she gave her nieces and nieces were only a four-grade good yuan?
But before the Empress Dowager Fang got up, the father-in-law Ming who was close to him persuaded the Empress Dowager Fang, and the father-in-law persuaded the Empress Dowager Fang like this:
"Queen Mother, don't worry, you still don't understand the emperor's temperament, the more you stop, the more the emperor will run to Gu Jieyu, the emperor was very unhappy about the fact that you sent Du Liangyuan to sleep before, so Du Liangyuan was cold for a night and lost your face."
"The Queen Mother, you have to face the emperor, this is more than worth the loss, besides, isn't it just a three-grade Jieyu, I can still surpass you in the big one, as long as the queen's position is still there, your niece Miss Fang, Fang Liangyuan can enter the middle palace, a Jieyu is nothing, why don't you obey the emperor's wishes?"
Empress Dowager Fang thought for a while, and felt that this was the reason, so she stopped thinking about finding the emperor's theory, and even sent Ming Gonggong to bring a pair of jade Ruyi and two night pearl necklaces to Gu Banqin's palace overnight as a congratulatory gift for her promotion to Jieyu.
So now that Empress Dowager Fang has arrived, Gu Banqin's gaze is not very prickly, but she looks at her a little suspiciously, secretly wondering if she has lost her eyes.
In the face of Empress Dowager Fang's equivalent, Gu Banqin still showed a well-behaved appearance, pretending to be wooden.
Empress Dowager Fang looked at it for a while, then let it go, and held a meeting to ask for peace as usual.
After the meeting, the Queen Mother opened her mouth and left Gu Shufei and Fang Liangyuan to speak, I don't know what to say, although the others were curious, but without the Queen Mother's stay, they didn't dare to stay longer, so they knelt down and left.
This time, Gu Banqin rarely stepped out of Cining Palace first, and when Concubine Zhao Defei passed by her, Gu Banqin took a step back to show respect.
It's just that Concubine Zhao Defei didn't appreciate it, and said to Gu Banqin in a calm voice:
"Gu Jieyu is really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, as the saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, Gu Jieyu has been honestly pretending to be for so long, once she was ambitious, but she showed her sharp teeth and sharp mouth, she was fooled by your honest performance in the past, and forgot about your existence, we really underestimated you."
Gu Banqin thought to herself, I am indeed pretending, but I am not pretending to be honest, but I don't care about what you fancie.
However, she knew that it was useless to explain, Helian Hongyi's move to promote her broke a lot of her layout, and she no longer wanted to pay attention to this vitriol Zhao Defei.
Gu Banqin said lightly: "The concubine doesn't understand what Concubine De means, if Concubine De doesn't have anything to do, the concubine will go back to her Fanghua Palace." ”
Concubine Zhao Defei snorted coldly: "Hmph, what a Fanghua Palace, you are also hardened now, the master of the first palace, I want to see how long you can pretend to be honest." ”
Gu Banqin lowered her head and retreated, and under the angry gaze of Concubine Zhao De, she hurriedly left Cining Palace and walked towards Fanghua Palace.
After going back, Zhang Yuzhu was already waiting for her at the door, and when he saw her, he trotted over:
"Niangniang, I and Sister Liu Wu have asked about the three places one by one, and they all said that they didn't see Jia Jinlu's shadow, and the small black house slave of the Inner Court Division also asked Qian Tuo to go and see it, but it was indeed not there, Jia Jinlu seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
"Disappear into thin air?"
Of course, Gu Banqin didn't believe that a big living person would disappear out of thin air like this, and she repeated the words in Zhang Yuzhu's words, and had to make the worst assumption, Jia Jinlu might have ...... Killed.
It's not that she hasn't thought about it like this, it's just that Jia Jinlu is the one who has been serving by her side for so long, thinking that when Helian Hongyi came at noon yesterday, when she still led a group of palace people to greet the Holy Cross, she still saw Jia Jinlu's shadow in the crowd.
Now that she is so dignified and a person who says that she is gone, she will disappear, and she may be killed because of her, Gu Banqin should feel like a boulder pressed on her chest, pressing her out of breath.
Gu Banqin felt the cruelty of ancient times for the first time, and her heart was sullen.
She didn't wait to comfort herself over and over again in her heart, Jia Jinlu would not disappear for no reason, and before he reached the worst step, he must not have been killed, but where he was hidden, life and death were uncertain.
Since Liu Fu and Zhang Yuzhu went to the Inner Court Division to inquire for so long and no clues came out, Gu Banqin believed that even if she summoned Chief Song, Song Bao would not tell the truth to herself, but would only delay time.
In this way, the gains outweigh the losses, not only will it not save Jia Jinlu, but it will also reduce Jia Jinlu's chances of survival.
After Gu Banqin paced twice in the hall, he walked out of the hall, had a plan in his heart, and said to Liu Wu: "Go, we have been in the palace for so long, and we haven't seen my sister, let's go, go to the Lanyue Hall to meet Concubine Zhao De." ”
Gu Banqin still remembered that the Empress Dowager Fang Fang said that the queen was undecided, the East Palace had no owner, and the affairs of the harem would be handled by Gu Nianshu and Concubine Zhao De.
At this moment, if Gu Nianshu can help her for the sake of her sisters' kinship, I believe that Jia Jinlu will have a better chance of being found.
Lanyue Hall is the main hall of Changning Palace, and Gu Nianshu is the master of the first palace of Changning Palace.
This Lanyue Diangu Banqin is still the first time to come, and when he arrives outside the palace, after the catkins come forward to report to his home, a cadre stands outside the palace gate and waits for the transmission.
After a while, an elderly old lady walked out, and after the old lady gave a salute to Gu Banqin, she didn't move her eyebrows and said, "I've seen Jieyu Niangniang, Niangniang is fine, Zhao Defei Niangniang asked Jieyu Niangniang to go in, please come with the old slave." ”
As she spoke, the old lady led the way in front and led Gu Banqin into the hall.
Entering the inner hall, Gu Banqin has seen the carved beams and paintings all the way, there are countless rare treasures, Gu Banqin has heard that the layout facilities of the Lanyue Palace are the best in the harem of Daqi, and it seems that the name is well deserved.
