On this day, Liu Wu and Cai Qing sat on the corridor in the hall to make handkerchiefs, Liu Wu looked up at Gu Banqin who was sitting on the stone steps and pounding wood with a knife, Liu Wu was thin, and his voice was also fine, and he secretly asked Cai Qing:

"Sister Caiqing, what has Niangniang been doing these two days? Always going back and forth to cut a wooden stick for something. ”

Cai Qing is five months older than the catkins, the people are stable and real, the catkins took the initiative to recognize this sister when they arrived in the muddy hall, Cai Qing shook his head and expressed his puzzlement: "I don't know what I'm doing, I said to cut it for the mother, but the mother didn't want to." I'm worried about what to do if my mother hurts her hand. ”

After Cai Qing finished speaking, he thought about it, put down the work in his hand, walked behind Gu Banqin, half-squatted down and said:

"Niangniang, if you don't come as a slave, this is a knife, and if you turn around and hurt Niangniang's jade hand, we will all be scolded by Aunt Ma."

Gu Banqin was holding a knife in his hand, holding the almost sharpened wooden stick in his hand, gesturing with something, and his head would not face Cai Qing with a worried face, and comforted: "I won't hurt myself, you can relax." ”

Cai Qing has obviously been rejected several times, no longer persuasive, just sighed helplessly.

In Cai Qing's eyes, Gu Banqin often had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she only felt that this Baolin lady was very different from the girls she had seen and heard before.

The other ladies are all high, looking at them The eyes of these palace maids are cold, and they look condescending, although they are smiling when they look at people, but they can't be reflected in their eyes.

But now their Baolin Niangniang, although her position is not high, and she can't see any pampered appearance for the time being, she is a very good person, and she treats them with a smile and a smile on the part of the palace people, not that kind of false smile.

And the mother is also very good to serve, basically nothing extra, special requirements, every day is to eat and drink on time, sleep, nothing to do to look at the flowers and plants, tease the insects and fish, and enjoy themselves.

So Cai Qing boldly asked Gu Banqin, "What is Niangniang doing?" ”

"Just play around if you're fine." Gu Banqin replied casually.

In fact, the stick that Gu Banqin cut was used to make a model, in his previous life, Gu Banqin was a manual enthusiast, he liked to do some manual work when he was fine, and he stayed idle every day, Gu Banqin picked up this hobby in his previous life, but he was limited by the tools of the times.

Gu Banqin didn't know if she could make the level of her previous life, and she was afraid that the results would not be good, so she didn't say much to Cai Qing and Liu Wuming.

Gu Banqin couldn't explain to her what a handicraft class was, so she continued to sharpen the small wooden stick in her hand into a cylindrical shape, making sure that it was the same as the memory in her previous life.

At the beginning of the sunset, spring goes to autumn.

Gu Banqin entered the palace in April, and more than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the season has entered autumn.

For most of the past half a year, Gu Banqin has taken root in the Muddy Hall steadily, and no one has paid attention to her, like an unnoticeable little mushroom growing in the corner.

In the hottest time of the dog days in summer, the Wang family once entered the palace to visit Gu Nianshu, and brought her some underwear made for her by Aunt Duan.

Aunt Duan is worthy of being her biological mother, even after a long time, she still misses her, the most heartwarming thing for Gu Banqin is that after unpacking the package, Gu Banqin found several silver tickets in the folds of her underwear, and Gu Banqin turned out a total of three tickets, all of which were large silver tickets of one hundred taels.

Gu Banqin took these three silver tickets, thinking about Aunt Duan, who was frugal on weekdays, and almost burst into tears, although she finally held back, her eyes were red.

In the past half a year, Emperor Wu Yuan has been living in the palace of nourishing the heart, half of which is busy dealing with state affairs, the world has experienced wars, and the state affairs are heavy, and half of it is for the first emperor to keep filial piety, not close to women.

So I haven't entered the harem for more than half a year, which concubine is favored, as early as three months ago, the queen mother has advised the emperor several times, your filial piety, the first emperor has received it, and now the most important thing is to leave a bloodline for Daqi, and give birth to the royal descendants for the Helian family, if you don't like the concubines in the harem now, you can also edict the world, draft to enrich the harem and so on.

However, Emperor Wu Yuan's reflection was very indifferent, and he replied "State affairs are important, filial piety comes first, and filial piety is the most important thing for the first emperor" sent away the chattering queen mother.

When the queen mother heard that the father of an ordinary family died, when the son needed to keep filial piety for three years, the emperor meant to suffer for three years, which was not possible, so she grinded day and night, and finally let the emperor loosen his mouth and promised to keep filial piety for the first emperor for one year.

Gu Banqin estimated the time and felt that the emperor's filial piety was almost full.

Gu Banqin has always encountered a bad time, and she has not gone to bed, others laugh at her bad luck, but Gu Banqin thinks that this is God's favor, it is best that the emperor is delaying for a year or two, and then from now on from now on from under the emperor's nose to become a transparent person, the emperor can no longer think of a person like her.

Then when she became an old girl, the emperor completely forgot her in the corner, and then she held her position as a neither high nor low Baolin Niangniang, receiving the salary of Daqi, and she didn't have to do anything, Gu Banqin felt refreshed.

A few days ago, after receiving an indifferent answer from the housekeeper's father-in-law, Gu Banqin decisively asked the two little eunuchs in the palace to transplant some flowers and trees in the imperial garden to his own muddy hall.

A total of two laurel trees, two osmanthus tree seedlings, a simple wooden shelf was built in the yard, two grape vines were planted, a year passed, and winter came.

The branches and leaves of the trees in the yard were yellow, and they fell to the ground. Even the vines on the shelves withered, and the withered and dry vines tangled in the wooden shelves, looking a depressed and lonely scene.

Gu Banqin's mind was spinning fast, and she had a lot of ideas, but it was a pity that she was trapped in her own low position, she had no backstage in the palace, no emperor's favor, no family wealth, and two silver open roads, so there were many things even if she asked the Inner Court Division, it was also fragmented, no one was accurate, and it was perfunctory.

For example, last month, Gu Banqin wanted to put a rocking bamboo chair in the courtyard, not to mention asking the Inner Court Division to make one for her, she wanted some bamboo strips, and she said it several times in a row, but the father-in-law in charge of the Inner Court Division also pretended not to hear, let alone the bamboo strips, and there was not a single bamboo shoot.

The winter was cold, everything withered, and Gu Banqin spent an animal-like hibernation day in the muddy hall.

The swallow flew and landed on the osmanthus book, and Gu Banqin knew that spring was coming, and everything was recovering.

In this way, after Gu Banqin spent a year alone in the palace, she ushered in her sixteenth birthday, in this era, the adult day of a girl at the age of sixteen, after sixteen, you will be an adult.
