Although Gu Banqin is not a fan of money, but for valuable things, he naturally does not refuse to come, who knows that it is an ordinary thing, it is inevitable to be a little disappointed, but it is not obvious on his face.

This thing is obviously not very valuable, and Gu Banqin naturally doesn't catch a cold.

But although this is not valuable, it is not something that can be measured by money.

No matter how disappointed Gu Banqin is, she can't dislike it, even if the thing is not valuable, it is also the emperor's heart for the queen mother, and she can't be treated lightly.

It wasn't until a long time later that Gu Banqin suddenly discovered that the so-called things given by the first emperor by the Empress Dowager Fang were as many as stars, and almost all the concubines in the harem had one, and they were all given by the first emperor.

I still remember Gu Banqin's expression at that time was like this: ̄□ ̄||

The future will not be pressed here for the time being.

But said here, since the Empress Dowager Fang showed that although this hairpin is not valuable, it is an emotional sustenance, and it cannot be excused.

Gu Banqin could only pick up the hairpin carefully, accepted the reward with a respectful face, and then expressed to the Empress Dowager Fang thank the Empress Dowager for the reward, I will definitely cherish it and so on.

Then Gu Banqin was rewarded, and when he turned around, he saw the envious, jealous and hateful expressions of the palace concubines below, staring at everyone's eyes, Gu Banqin returned to his seat.

After taking a seat, the palace concubines took back their eyes like a thorn in their backs.

This feeling, Gu Banqin seemed to roll back and forth from the tip of a knife, and her heart palpitated.

After Empress Dowager Fang finished appreciating Gu Banqin, her eyes swept over Concubine Zhao Defei again, which was meaningful, the latter was not muddy, she had already put away her difficulties and worries, and looked back with the expression of a decent person.

Empress Dowager Fang smacked her mouth, feeling that she was happy, and then Shi Shiran announced that the invitation was over, everyone dispersed, and then turned into the inner room surrounded by two grandmothers and four palace maids.

At the end of the regular meeting, each went back to his palace.

Gu Banqin was the first to stand up and wanted to leave here quickly, but the provincial concubines were caught by the palace concubines and brushed with their eyes.

But as soon as she stood up, she was stopped by Fang Liangyuan, who had been prepared:

"Jieyu Niangniang, please stay, please forgive me, when the concubine was still at home before, I often heard about the things that the emperor gave to the queen mother, and I always wanted to see it, but the queen mother always didn't allow me to see it, and now the things were given to Jieyu Niangniang, I don't know if I can ask the concubine to feast my eyes?"

Gu Banqin said in his heart, who are you fooling?

The Queen Mother is your aunt, if you want to see it, can you still stop you?

But Gu Banqin just stiffened her face and smiled, her hands kept moving, and she handed the things to Fang Liangyuan.

Fang Liangyuan had already gathered behind a group of ladies with similar positions, and everyone looked at it with a blank eye, all of them looking very interested in the hairpin that the Empress Dowager Fang gave to the first emperor.

Gu Banqin thought that they would be disappointed in this ordinary secret arrogance after seeing it, but the moment the box was opened, these reserved and delicate ladies who usually looked like each other used their various and various praises to show Gu Banqin what it meant to be a sycophant.

As long as the sycophants are shot well, you can't run away with promotions and salary increases!

A room full of women are praising the ordinary hairpin, and those who don't know think it's a rarity!

"Wow, that's beautiful."

Du Liangyuan made a start, and then the palace concubines praised one after another.

Fang Liangyuan took the hairpin close to his eyes and studied it carefully, as if he was studying some kind of artwork.

Then he looked at it for a while, and in the unsatisfied eyes of the other palace concubines, he put the hairpin back in the box and handed it back to Gu Banqin.

"Thank you Jieyu Niangniang, the Queen Mother is so kind to you, okay, even I have to be jealous of Niangniang."

Fang Liangyuan said softly, and her attitude was quite sincere.

Gu Banqin suddenly felt why Empress Dowager Fang chose her niece to enter the palace and pressed the queen's big treasure on her.

After getting along for a short time, Gu Banqin also noticed Fang Liangyuan's advantages.

She has a cheerful personality, loses people, speaks with consideration, does not offend people, and has the talent of a leader.

There are so many girls in the Fang family, it is not without reason that she chose to send her to the palace, she is not as arrogant as no one in Gu Nianshu's eyes, nor is she like Concubine Zhao De, who is narrow-minded and intolerable.

It's not like Xie Zhaoyi's words are out of shape, not to mention Gu Banqin's smuggling in the eyes of everyone, in short, it is a place where its own conditions are excellent and everything can be done.

Empress Dowager Fang and the Fang family are bent on putting her on the throne of the queen, not out of nowhere, but based on evidence.

"Sister Fang is right, the Queen Mother really loves Jieyu Niangniang from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want us, not only is she not favored by the emperor, but she also has no chance to sleep, she doesn't want Jieyu Niangniang, the holy favor is strong."

Du Liangyuan said this sourly, since the last time she wanted to use the concubine to fight Gu Banqin, but she couldn't do it, and as a result, everyone was wrapped in, the palace concubines in the palace subconsciously stayed away from her, and she was alone in the palace, not even a sister who spoke, quite lonely.

This time, Fang Liangyuan stood on Gu Banqin's side and said to Du Liangyuan:

"Everyone is a harem sister, it is our duty to serve the emperor, Du Liangyuan doesn't need to be so sour, as long as you keep to yourself and wait patiently, are you afraid that the emperor will not come?"

Du Liangyuan didn't really want to squeeze Gu Banqin, not to mention that Gu Banqin's current position was higher than her, but after Gu Banqin scolded her last time, she also knew that Gu Banqin was not easy to mess with.

It's just that for a while, touching the scene and feeling it, it is natural to say what is in my heart for a while.

Gu Banqin can't be provoked, Fang Liangyuan's background is deeper than her, and she can't be provoked. was scolded by Fang Liangyuan, she didn't dare to reply, so she had to hold her grievances and retreat with her lips curling.

The other palace concubines who were watching the play on the side saw the form clearly, and it was not good to continue, so they all retired in their hearts.

Fang Liangyuan helped Gu Banqin, no matter what the reason was, after she nodded and smiled at Gu Banqin, she walked out of Cining Palace.

Gu Banqin lowered her head and covered the box, and when she looked up, she saw Concubine Zhao Defei standing in front of her with an iron face, without saying a word.

Just when Gu Banqin thought that she was going to face her head-on, Concubine Zhao Defei's face suddenly changed, swept away her previous appearance of not pretending to anyone, and showed a friendly smile to Gu Banqin, and said:

"The emperor and the queen mother really love my sister, my sister and I don't have this blessing, my sister has to cherish this hard-won opportunity."

Gu Banqin couldn't hear the threat in her words, and remembered the tragic situation of Jia Jinlu's unknown life and death, and rarely showed a cold and hard expression to Concubine Zhao De.

For an innocent person, she can kill the killer, which shows that she has been in the top position for a long time, and has long developed the habit of disrespecting life, relying on her natural noble blood, thinking that she is naturally superior, and has no mercy for the lowly people.

All those who are inferior to her are the soles of her feet, and crushing a subordinate minion is the same as crushing an ant. Human life may not be as important to her as one of her moods.

Gu Banqin can't get used to people like Zhao Defei the most, can people who don't respect the lives of others still be called people?

And unlike Gu Nianshu, Gu Nianshu stands behind Gu Fengmao, with the support of the prime minister of a country, and the Gu family is a big family, Gu Nianshu naturally has proud capital.

But Concubine Zhao De is different, she is just a princess of the former dynasty, and she is a person who died in the country to say that it is ugly, but looking at the appearance of no one in Concubine Zhao De's eyes, to this day, she has not realized that she is a princess of the dead country, does she still think that now is the period of lawlessness of the royal family in the north?

It's ridiculous!

Of course, Gu Banqin didn't naively think that Jia Jinlu's matter would really be able to bring down a character like Zhao Defei if he intervened in the investigation.

Concubine Zhao Defei pushed out the perpetrator - Mama Yu as soon as she was investigated, Mama Yu took all the blame for it, and the reason given was a little ridiculous, saying that Jia Jinlu once verbally bumped into her, and she did not apologize, she always held a grudge in her heart.

That day, she went to the Inner Court Division to spread the will of Concubine Zhao De, and heard the little eunuch of the Inner Court Division say that Jia Jinlu was locked up in a dark room dedicated to punishing the wrongdoing palace people, and Mama Yu wanted to take this opportunity to teach Jia Jinlu a lesson, and teamed up with the guards to get Jia Jinlu out, and then worked together to kill him and throw him into the cave.

No matter what the Inner Court Division asked, Mama Yu always bit her own and did not reveal any other clues, and the guard who conspired with her, after being caught, also committed suicide in prison because of guilt, everything was arranged so reasonably.

The father-in-law of Song Bao, the inner court secretary, personally came to Fanghua Palace and Gu Banqin to report the case, but the result was not as expected by Gu Banqin.

Song Bao's father-in-law said:

"Mama Yu has a grudge because Jia Jinlu disrespects him, which is also human nature."

Gu Banqin nodded in agreement: "Yes, what Song Bao's father-in-law said is right, it's just human nature." I will also supervise those around me from now on, so that they will not be treated with contempt, lest they lose their lives as if they were like this again. ”

Father-in-law Song Bao smiled, wiped the sweat on his head, and said a few words of compliment Gu Banqin, and then left Fanghua Palace on his knees.

Liu Fu and Zhang Yuzhu walked over, and Zhang Yuzhu was a little upset for Jia Jinlu: "What kind of grudge, how long has Mama Yu been serving in the palace, if everyone who doesn't respect her has to be killed, wouldn't everyone in the palace be dead." ”

Liu Wu didn't dare to comment, Gu Banqin looked at Zhang Yuzhu's face full of dissatisfaction, and had the intention to educate:

"There are some things, you just know it in your heart, you don't have to say it, the hierarchy and humility in the palace have always been a rule of cannibalism, and the officials crush people to death, this is the truth, you must take Jia Jinlu as a warning in the future, be careful everywhere, now our Fanghua Palace has stood on the cusp, act and speak more low-key, and don't pay attention to the idle things in the palace next to you."

Gu Banqin's words made Liu Wu and Zhang Yuzhu respectfully accept, and the two of them had just knelt down, and before they could begin to express their determination and make a guarantee, they saw Helian Hongyi walk in from the palace gate.
