Chapter 162: Three days back to the door
Another day passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the day of Gu Qinglai's return. Early in the morning, she cleaned up Mingyue Haosheng, but who knew that she didn't even see Xuan Lang's face. On such an important day, Xuan Lang actually planned to let her go back alone?
"Mother, what can I do now?" Mingyue was also a little embarrassed, looked at the carriage that was already waiting at the door, and asked with a sigh. On the day of returning, without the company of her husband, wouldn't it make people laugh to death?
But if you don't go back, it's really not in accordance with the rules.
Gu Qinglai gritted his teeth and said, "What can I do!" "Even if Xuan Lang is not here, then she has to go back.
Mingyue nodded when she heard this, and was about to go out with her, but she heard a noise behind her. The master and servant looked at each other and turned around.
"Be careful, these things are carefully selected by His Highness, and you can't afford to lose your life if you touch it!" A big girl walked in front of her, and from time to time she looked back at the person carrying the box behind her, and reprimanded her.
Gu Qinglai frowned slightly when he saw this, but he heard Mingyue beside him open his mouth: "Niangniang, Your Highness Xu is delayed by something and can't accompany you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I ordered someone to prepare these gifts and bring them back." It seems that in His Royal Highness's heart, Niangniang is still very important. ”
Hearing Mingyue say this, the anger in Gu Qinglai's heart finally dissipated a little, and she took it for granted that these were what Xuan Lang had prepared for her.
Thinking of this, she straightened her back, coughed lightly, and looked at the comer: "Carry them all to the carriage, be careful." ”
The eldest girl at the head was Peony, and when she heard Gu Qinglai say this, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that she had misunderstood.
"Slave and maid peony see Concubine Gu, I think Concubine Gu has misunderstood, these are all ordered by His Highness to be prepared for Concubine Hua. His Royal Highness said that today is the day when Concubine Hua returns to the door, and he can't accompany him, but he can't lose the rules of etiquette. "Peony's words are simply a critical blow to Gu Qinglai!
Xuan Lang doesn't care about Gu Qinglai's return to the door, but he is kind to Peach Blossom, a subordinate? Still around? Is this crazy?
"Peach Blossom is just a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion! What kind of door did she go back to! She didn't know where she died 800 years ago! Mingyue couldn't listen to it anymore, and pointed at the peony is angry scolding, as if she had forgotten that Xuanlang had raised the peach blossom as a side concubine yesterday.
Peony's face turned dark when she heard this, and she said coldly: "As a slave, it's better to be cautious in your words and deeds." Concubine Hua is the master, what are you, dare to be so presumptuous? If it weren't for the fact that you were Concubine Gu's maid to marry, those few words just would be enough for you to die a hundred times! ”
Gu Qinglai was so angry that her face turned white, she didn't know how much humiliation she had suffered in the past few days, and now she was still being pressed by peach blossoms, how could she swallow this breath.
"You're just a slave, you dare to speak like this in front of your concubine! Is that what your master taught you? Gu Qinglai said and slapped him over, the force was so great that the peony almost couldn't bear it, and he took several steps back.
But in the end, she is a maid raised in Xuanlang Mansion, and she has more contact with the rules of the royal family, so although she is embarrassed by Gu Qinglai, she is also smiling.
"Concubine Gu is angry, if the slave maid does something wrong, Concubine Gu can tell Concubine Hua that you can't be disciplined." Peony stood firm, and said in a respectful voice.
When she said this, she was accusing Gu Qinglai of being nosy with rats.
Gu Qinglai is not the kind of stupid person, how could he not hear the meaning of her words.
was about to attack again, but saw Peach Blossom Shi Shiran walking out of it. She also changed into the outfit of a side concubine, her clothes were gorgeous and complicated, and her hair bun shook the jade crown, looking three points more noble than Gu Qinglai.
In addition, Peach Blossom is two years older than Gu Qinglai, although her appearance is not as moving and bright as Gu Qinglai, but she has more of the charm of a mature woman than her.
She stretched out her hand, and Peony hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"A sparrow is a sparrow, and it can't become a phoenix when it flies on the branches!" Gu Qinglai took a sip fiercely, looked at her and said angrily.
Peach Blossom raised her lips and smiled, and said: "What is my sister talking about, now you and I are both concubines of His Royal Highness, and we should live in harmony. ”
Hearing Peach Blossom call her a sister, Gu Qinglai's shoulders exploded.
"What are you that you dare to call me sister? Don't forget, you were just a dog by my mother's side! Gu Qinglai rushed over with a thud, pulling Peach Blossom's clothes and roaring angrily.
is as proud as she Gu Chiang Rai, how can she be willing to let a person who was born as a slave and maid be on an equal footing with her.
Peach Blossom sneered when she heard this, and she fanned her hand away impatiently, and said angrily: "You also said that it was the beginning, who can always be the same as before?" ”
"You! You slut! Gu Qinglai trembled with annoyance, pointed at the peach blossom and was about to scold angrily, but she grabbed her hand.
"Sister, let's hurry up, there are more people coming and going now, you are making such a fuss at the door, do you really don't care about the face of the Three Emperors' Mansion?" Peach Blossom coldly dropped a word, and then took Peony's hand and walked to another carriage. A few small men carrying boxes in the back also hurriedly followed.
Gu Qinglai turned around angrily, only to see that there was another carriage coming out of the door, and it was much bigger and more gorgeous than hers.
Seeing this, the anger in her heart became more and more unable to hide, and she stomped her feet in anger at the door of the mansion.
Seeing this, Mingyue hurriedly reassured and said, "Niangniang, let's get into the carriage first, it's not a problem to make trouble here." I'm going to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion later, and then you can do whatever you want with that cheap maid in Peach Blossom. ”
Gu Qinglai gritted his teeth after hearing this, tried his best to calm down, glanced at the peach blossom fiercely, and got into the carriage angrily.
When everything was ready, the groom turned over, and the two carriages drove one after the other on the gradually lively street.
At the same time, a white robe flashed.
In the house, Wuying lowered his head and followed Xuan Lang's side, and they all saw the farce at the door clearly.
"Your Highness, you deliberately did this just to make Concubine Gu and Concubine Hua turn against each other?" Wuying asked in a low voice, he had been following Xuan Lang for some time, but this time he couldn't understand his intentions.
Gu Qinglai and Peach Blossom are in trouble, so isn't the backyard peaceful?
Hearing this, a chill flashed across Xuan Lang's face, and he said in a low voice: "It was Gu Qinglai who designed to frame the main hall first, do you think that the main hall will let her live a stable life?" ”
"What's more, having a woman fighting with her saves her from bothering me." Xuan Lang said lightly, and then entered the study. Listening without a shadow, he stood sideways at the door, and didn't ask much.
Besides, the Jiang family knew that Gu Qinglai was going back to the door today, so he waited at the door early with the twilight grass. As if to show off, she deliberately brought out the Li mother and daughter to wait with her.
How could Li not see what her intentions were, but she was not her opponent, so she could only grit her teeth and wait at the door. However, Gu Qingxue has always been a brainstorm, and when she saw that Gu Qinglai had become Xuanlang's side concubine, she immediately stammered again.
After about half an hour, I heard movement in the distance. Everyone followed the prestige, only to see two oily and slippery jujube horses pulling the carriage slowly, one in front of the other, and there were two carriages.
Jiang Shi was stunned when he saw this, even if Xuan Lang accompanied him back to the door, there would not be two carriages.
"Auntie, don't worry, the one in the back may be a gift for you. After all, our young lady is now the side concubine of the Third Highness, and pomp is naturally indispensable. Seeing what Jiang was thinking, Twilight Grass patted her hand, looked at her and chuckled.
After listening to Twilight Cao's words, Jiang Shi also thought so, and the smile on his face became more and more vigorous.
"My Lai'er, it's filial piety, and now that I have a career, I naturally won't forget my mother." Jiang Shi turned to look at Li Shi and said provocatively, with a smug look between his eyebrows.
In fact, I don't blame the Jiang family for being so proud, if Gu Qingxue can marry a prince one day, I am afraid that the corners of the Li family's mouth will be raised to the sky.
Li didn't bother to answer her words, just glanced blankly and looked away.
As he spoke, the carriage had arrived at the gate of the house. The coachman jumped down first, took down the low stool and put it away.
Seeing this, Jiang hurriedly ran to the most gorgeous carriage, and she waited with joy. The first to come down was a strange face, and Peony saw that she was stunned and stunned there, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed.
Although Jiang didn't know the person in front of him, he saw that she was respectful to him, and his heart was also extremely useful, so he just thought it was Xuan Langxin's maid who went to serve Gu Qinglai, and happily took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into her hand.
"Help your mother down." Jiang said with a smile, and Peony accepted the silver with a smile and called softly into the carriage.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a hand stretched out from inside, Jiang Shi only looked at the delicate armor and bright red cardamom on her hand, and did not notice that this hand was a little rough, it was not a pair of pampered hands at all.
"Mother, slow down." Peony took the hand and whispered.
The people in the carriage finally got down, but Jiang Shi was stunned, because the person who came down was not Gu Qinglai at all. She frowned, and looked at the person in front of her, and after a moment, her face turned pale.
"Peach blossoms?"
Her shocked voice, combined with the affection on it, was really funny.
The corners of Peach Blossom's mouth hooked, and she looked at her for a long time.
It was Peony who opened her mouth first and said, "This lady, this is our Hua Fang Concubine, and it is disrespectful to call her by her name." ”
"Concubine Hua?" After hearing this, the look on Jiang's face was like opening a five-color workshop, and it became more and more exciting.
"Mother, I'm here!"
Gu Qinglai's voice came from behind him, and Jiang Shi turned his head in shock, only to see Gu Qinglai salute from the carriage behind. She looked at Gu Qinglai in a daze, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't slow down at all.
