Chapter 155: Regeneration Trick
It was night, when Gu Jiuge's house was dark, the entire drinking song garden fell into silence, the courtyard door was opened a small crack, and a figure quietly came out, leaving no trace.
In the courtyard of Hechang, Jiang tapped on the tabletop, which was particularly harsh in the silent night. Peach Blossom knelt on the ground, so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.
"Peach Blossom, do you know that you ruined your aunt's plan this time?" Twilight Cao poured a cup of warm tea for Jiang Shi, and then looked at the peach blossom who was kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.
Peach Blossom's heart trembled, and she quickly kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Auntie, the slave really doesn't know why this is happening." But the eldest lady didn't seem to find out that there was poison hidden in the bedding, and it was only because Huachun accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl on the bed, so she changed the bedding pillow or something. β
She shrank back as she spoke, glanced at Jiang's reaction, and then said, "This is simply a mistake, auntie doesn't have to worry." β
"Excuses!" Jiang slammed the table and said angrily, "I don't want to listen to these excuses, it's best if it's not discovered now." Now I'll give you a chance to make amends. β
Peach Blossom was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly walked a few steps forward.
"Auntie, please say, this time the slave and maid will definitely be able to do it!"
Jiang Shiyi smiled, stretched out his hand to summon her to him, and whispered in her ear. Peach Blossom's face turned pale when she heard this, and her body trembled with fright, and she couldn't even finish her words.
"Auntie, do this...... If the prince knows about it, he must ...... It's going to make a big splash. Peach Blossom shook her head, but in exchange for a slap from the Jiang family.
"Shut up! As long as you are honest and obedient, how can you be discovered! Jiang Shi scolded angrily in a low voice, and Peach Blossom thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and responding.

Gu Qinglai's ceremony came as promised, as Chen said, although she is a concubine, but after all, she is still a young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now how many people are staring at the Prime Minister's Mansion, such a good opportunity is naturally not to be missed.
Most of the officials and their families came, and even several princes in the palace were not absent.
Gu Chiang Rai's vanity was also greatly satisfied, and he dressed up carefully and greeted the guests with the Jiang family.
In the back garden, Situ Luo, Zhao Qianqian and others accompanied Gu Jiuge to sit in the pavilion, and saw Gu Qinglai smiling like a flower from a distance, and couldn't help but show disdain.
"Third Highness, you're finally here." Seeing Xuan Lang coming in, Gu Qinglai hurriedly greeted him. She also bothered to dress up today, wearing a red dress that is dazzling, her face is delicate, and her smiling appearance is very cute.
Xuan Lang raised his eyebrows and smiled, took out a brocade box, handed it to her, and said, "A little heart, don't be surprised by the second miss." β
Seeing this, Gu Qinglai took it with joy, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a jade pendant of excellent color, and his heart became more and more happy. She looked up and was about to say thank you, but she saw Xuanlang's gaze past her, and she didn't know where to look.
Gu Qinglai followed Xuan Lang's gaze and looked over, only to see Gu Jiuge sitting in the pavilion, talking and laughing with Situ Luo and the others, maybe she heard something interesting, she leaned on Situ Luo's shoulder, laughing irrepressibly.
The woman was dressed in white, and her black hair was simply tied up with a piece of white silk, and there was not even a hosta. Even so, she is still incredibly beautiful, she is the appearance of the country and the city, this smile, everything seems to have lost its color.
Seeing the affection unconsciously revealed in Xuan Lang's eyes, Gu Qinglai's heart instantly rose with jealousy, she took a deep breath, then smiled reluctantly, looked at Xuan Lang and said softly: "Third Highness, the eldest sister has only recovered for a short time, why don't you just say hello to Lai'er with you." β
Xuan Lang came back to his senses when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
The two walked towards Gu Jiuge side by side, and she was so happy that she didn't notice it at all.
"Luo'er, you girl, if anyone marries you in the future, you will definitely burn high incense every day to save your life." Gu Jiuge was still leaning on Situ Luo's shoulder, twisted her fair and fleshy little face lightly, and couldn't help but smile and said.
Situ Luo couldn't help but roll his eyes, and was about to say something, when Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of Xuan Lang and Gu Qinglai coming over, touched Gu Jiu Ge lightly, and his eyes signaled.
Seeing this, Gu Jiuge turned her head to look, and before she had time to retract the smile on her face, she just smiled at Xuan Lang, so bright and brilliant that people couldn't open their eyes.
At that moment, Xuan Lang's heart fluttered slightly.
"Big sister, this is something happy to hear, it's better to say it and let my sister hear it." Gu Qinglai suppressed the jealous look on his face, looked at her and said with a chuckle.
Seeing that it was the two of them, Gu Jiuge smiled, coughed lightly, and returned to his old look.
"Sister Gu, I heard that you were sick a few days ago, but now you are better?" Xuan Lang was hooked by her smile, and stepped forward to ask softly.
Gu Jiuge frowned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he felt a tightness in his waist, but he turned around but Mu Liang.
Mu Liang stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her waist and smiled at her dotingly, then he looked at Xuan Lang, and said in a cold voice: "According to the rules, you should call her the imperial sister-in-law." Don't make such mistakes again in the future. β
As he spoke, he tightened his arms, as if asserting his sovereignty.
Xuan Lang's face changed when he heard this, and it was ugly and terrifying.
"Uncle Huang's lesson is that he also blames the same ...... in the past" He paused for a moment, the two words of the imperial sister-in-law couldn't be called, and he hesitated again and again, and then re-spoken, and said: "In the past, the palace had a deep friendship with Miss Gu, and I couldn't change it for a while, so please don't care about it." β
When he said this, he hinted between the lines that Gu Jiuge had admired him in the past. However, his wishful thinking did not work, because his specious words did not affect Mu Liang at all.
"It's okay, stand down."
Xuan Lang smiled, and then turned his head to leave. Seeing this, Gu Qinglai also hurriedly followed, she wanted to show off in front of Gu Jiuge, who knew that when she met Mu Liang, now that Xuan Lang had left, she naturally didn't want to stay long.
Seeing that the two of them were gone, Mu Liang looked down at Gu Jiuge with a faint displeasure. Sensing that something was wrong, Situ Luo pulled Zhao Qianqian away with a very clear look.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Jiuge smiled helplessly, poked Mu Liang's face and asked in a low voice.
Mu Liang suddenly opened his mouth, as if he was going to bite her, Gu Jiu singer quickly dodged, which didn't let him succeed.
"Sister Gu, he is very affectionate." Mu Liang muttered in a low voice angrily, with a little chill in his eyes, which made people's hearts cold.
Gu Jiuge almost laughed out loud when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of that time when Mu Liang was drunk, rushed to the Xiaoyuan of Drinking Song, hugged her and complained about not allowing Xuanyue to call her Jiuge. I have to say that Mu Liang is really naΓ―ve like a child sometimes.
Gu Jiuge tilted his head and smiled, "You can also call it that." β
Hearing her say this, Mu Liang pursed his lips with disdain.
As the two were talking, they saw Eqiu coming and said that the guests were almost here, and they could sit down.
In the banquet room, the male and female guests were separated from each other, and the maids streamed in to deliver dishes, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and everyone was not as restrained as at the beginning.
Peach Blossom came forward with a wine jug, and Huiqiu reached out to take it, poured a glass for Gu Jiuge and put it away. There are a lot of guests here today, and it is inevitable that some will want to greet her for a toast.
"Cousin, why didn't you see it today...... Yes! Zhao Qianqian leaned over and was about to talk to Gu Jiuge, when her sleeve accidentally swept to the wine glass on the table, and she was so startled that she snorted.
Begonia was busy bending down to deal with it, and her face suddenly changed when she wiped the table. Quietly wiped the wine on the table, and through Zhao Qianqian's cover, he whispered something in Gu Jiuge's ear.
The smile on Gu Jiuge's face still didn't change when he heard this, as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Qianqian apologized again and again: "Big sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your clothes are not dirty." β
The movement of the two of them alarmed the Jiang family next to them, and when they turned around, they saw that the wine had been spilled, their brows furrowed slightly, and their eyes were staring at Gu Jiuge.
"Peach Blossom, bring the wine and pour another glass." Gu Jiuge looked back at the peach blossom behind him and beckoned, and the peach blossom hurriedly stepped forward when she saw this, and poured another cup for her.
As soon as the wine was full, I saw Gu Qinglai walking over with Xuan Jing. Xu was because Concubine Zhen was recuperating before, and she hadn't seen Xuan Jing for a long time.
She walked over with her glass and shook it lightly.
"Miss Gu, oh no...... It's time to call you the royal sister-in-law. Xuan Jing looked at Gu Jiuge condescendingly and said with a chuckle, but in that sentence of the imperial sister-in-law, there was more irony.
Gu Jiuge couldn't hear it, but he wasn't annoyed, Shi Shiran stood up and said with a smile: "The ninth princess is polite." β
"Imperial sister-in-law, this princess toasts you, can you appreciate your face?" Xuan Jing raised her eyebrows and smiled, and asked in a weird way.
When Gu Jiuge heard this, he picked up the glass of wine that Peach Blossom had just poured and said, "Naturally, I want to appreciate my face." β
She said as she held the cup in one hand, pinched the sleeve of her coat with the other, and drank it all with her head up. After that, he didn't forget to turn over the empty cup in his hand, and looked at Xuan Jing and smiled.
"The Ninth Princess is at her own convenience."
Xuan Jing saw that she finished drinking, and she was not to be outdone and drank the wine in the cup in her hand, perhaps considering that today was Gu Qinglai's gift of harmony, she didn't embarrass Gu Jiuge anymore, but just drank a glass of wine and left obediently.
Before leaving, Gu Qinglai glanced at Gu Jiuge sideways, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes, which quickly dissipated.
Not long after Gu Jiuge sat down, he felt that his head was slightly dizzy, and he shook it slightly, but it still didn't get better.
Seeing this, Begonia bent down and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" β
Gu Jiuge's voice was a little low, and he didn't know what to say, he could only see her shake her head, then got up and walked out alone.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi took the opportunity to stop Gu Jiuge, and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, Miss?" β
"I'm a little drunk, dizzy, go for a walk." Gu Jiu Ge said in a low voice, rubbing his temples lightly.
Jiang Shi nodded and wondered, "Why don't you go out with the maid?" β
"I just go out for a walk, scatter the wine, and come back later, and a few girls stay to take care of it." Gu Jiuge explained patiently, and walked past her and walked out.
