Chapter 174: Temptation

Imperial Princess?!

It turned out to be the imperial concubine?!

Emperor Longqing's favorite woman is none other than Empress Lu, who died of illness.

If there is anyone who is comparable to Queen Lu, it is this high emperor concubine.

After Empress Lu died of illness, the imperial concubine failed to ascend to the throne, but in the six palaces, no concubine dared to be disrespectful to her.

She deals with harem affairs with the main concubine, but because she is not in good health, in fact, she doesn't really come forward much.

"You mean the Imperial Concubine summoned me?"

Gu Yao asked again, if it was Concubine De, she would not be surprised, after all, Concubine De had a great relationship with the Lu family, and to be able to enter the palace was to go the way of the Lu family, and to consider herself the sister of Queen Lu.

The imperial concubine is said to be Queen Lu's rival!

Empress Lu's early death, in addition to the reason for Lu Zheng's birth, Emperor Longqing's favor for the imperial concubine is also the most important reason!

Could it be that Lu Zheng's mind was seen by the imperial concubine?

The female official smiled and said: "That's right, the imperial concubine invited Miss Gu Liu to enter the palace, the slave and maid listened to it really and did things for the master, how dare the slave and maid be careless?" ”

"Miss Gu Liu, please."

She gave way and was unusually respectful.

At this time, Gu Yao could no longer be allowed to think or refuse.

She glanced up at the palace hall, which was magnificent, solemn and majestic.

This is a feeling she does not have when she goes to the Forbidden City in modern times.

On the road from the palace gate stood low-level palace maids, bowing and standing solemnly one by one.

The majesty and supremacy of imperial power are evident in every corner of the palace.

Gu Yao entered the palace with the female official of the imperial concubine.

The ladies waiting at the gate of the palace were all very depressed, of course, envy.

However, everyone is a famous daughter, the best training, and there are many pairs of eyes watching at this time, and they still maintain a dignified and elegant image.

"Maybe let her enter the palace early, just to investigate our ...... Who of us is a truly elegant talented girl! ”

I don't know who said this sentence, but it was unanimously agreed by the young ladies!

The ladies and ladies of the famous families put on a flawless smile.

Gu Yao couldn't care about their thoughts anymore, and followed the female official to the ...... Guan Ju Palace.

I was shocked by the three big characters inscribed by Emperor Longqing.

It is said that when Empress Lu was alive, the imperial concubine lived in Guanju Palace.

Empress Lu may have been depressed to death by the amorous Emperor Longqing!

The imperial concubine's residence is rich and luxurious, and from the furnishings, Gu Yao can see that the imperial concubine is a person who can enjoy it.

Each piece is a boutique.

Faintly seeing a figure sitting behind the bead curtain, Gu Yao hurriedly lowered her head and lowered her eyes, "Meet the imperial concubine." ”

According to the palace etiquette that had been practiced for a long time, Gu Yao knelt down meticulously.

Even if she is unhappy, she has to follow the rules of the moment.

"Remove the curtain and let Hongu take a closer look at her."

A soft voice came, sounding very comfortable.

The palace maid who was accompanying her lifted the bead curtain, but Gu Yao didn't dare to raise her head and stared at the pearl sitting on the tip of the imperial concubine's shoe.

"Look up."

The imperial concubine's words were kind, and she was also a little more curious.

Gu Yao slowly raised her head, and the imperial concubine sat up straight, looking at the bright girl in a daze.

"It's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've seen such a good color in the palace!"

The imperial concubine's amazed look flashed away, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No wonder he was worried about it, and Baba begged to come to the palace." ”

It doesn't sound like the crown of the marquis, how can Lu Zheng's temperament beg the imperial concubine?

Who the hell is it?

"You get up." The imperial concubine smiled and said: "After a palace banquet, you will follow the palace, and the palace will see you...... I felt kind. ”

Gu Yao said: "My father's position is low, and my courtiers are not good to follow you all the time." ”

"Don't be afraid, your appearance is enough to make this palace lift you, in recent years, the palace banquet has been filled with a lot of talented women, to tell the truth, this palace is tired of seeing talented women."

The imperial concubine was unusually soft and loving, beckoned Gu Yao to get up, and arranged for her to sit down with her.

"How old are you?"

"The courtiers are fifteen years old."

"Is your grandmother still strong?"

The imperial concubine said abruptly: "Since your grandfather passed away, your grandmother has not walked around the palace anymore. ”

"Fortunately, now Gu Shilang is expected to enter the cabinet, and your grandmother's lifelong work can be regarded as waiting for the reward."

"Do you know your grandmother?"

"I said a few words at the beginning, but it's an old thing."

The imperial concubine's still youthful face flashed with a hint of regret.

She has fair skin, well-maintained, no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and is soft and lovely.

"I heard that you were born to your aunt? And two sisters? ”

"The courtier's mother is a good concubine, the second sister is born to the minister's father's wife, and the fourth sister is born to the minister's father's stepwife."

"Is there a dispute between your sisters?"

The imperial concubine leaned on the bright yellow pillow and asked curiously: "If it is not from the same mother, I am afraid it will be difficult to communicate with each other." ”

Gu Yao: "......"

"You don't have to be afraid, this palace is just deeply touched, and I will chat with you casually."

The imperial concubine seemed leisurely and casual, but Gu Yao felt her scrutinizing gaze.

This is by no means a random question!

If the answer is not enough to satisfy the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is afraid that she will not be so loving.

Who said that the imperial concubine would come to test her?

Gu Yao became more and more sure that it would not be Lu Zheng.

"The sisters are of the same age, a few years apart, and it is inevitable that there will be a few quarrels on weekdays, but you also know that grandmother is a good housekeeper and often teaches us to be close and friendly, and the two sisters are open-minded, and they will not worry too much about the courtiers."

The imperial concubine's eyes flashed, and she continued to ask, "Only you can come to the palace, and they didn't say anything?" ”

"The fourth sister doesn't care about this, the second sister is the sixth princess's companion, and she can come with the sixth princess."

Gu Yao was honest and unusually honest.

The imperial concubine smiled: "It's really not easy to hear you tell the truth, your temperament is stable and reliable, and it is really possible to lower him." ”

"Mother's ......"

"You don't have to ask, when it's time for you to know, you'll know."

The imperial concubine smiled meaningfully, "Come on, bring the pearl bracelet prepared by the palace." ”

The palace maid was holding a lacquer box painted with gold, and the imperial concubine pointed at Gu Yao, "You can take it and play with it." ”

Gu Yao got up, "Thank you to the imperial concubine." ”

"...... Niangniang, the Queen Mother sent a message, please go. ”

The palace maid's voice was faintly surprised, and Gu Yao felt that the melancholy on the brow of the palace maid who had been accompanying the imperial concubine flashed away.

Gu Yao had heard that the imperial concubine was not very popular with the Queen Mother!

It's just that Emperor Longqing protects the imperial concubine, and the queen mother doesn't have a good way to take her.

Although the Queen Mother is honorable, and Emperor Longqing is also a filial son, if the mother and son have a conflict, the Queen Mother may not be able to help Emperor Longqing.

The queen simply can't see it, and rarely summons the imperial concubine.

Today, the Queen Mother suddenly came, and the Imperial Concubine was also slightly stunned, and glanced at her female official, "I haven't seen the Queen Mother for half a month, and the palace should also go to ask her for peace." ”

The imperial concubine was helped up by the female official and the palace maid, "You can also go with the palace." ”
