"Even if there is, it's a partnership, which princess doesn't want to be loved by the prince?" When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing at all, what are you making such a fuss about?" ”

Gao Gonggong was shocked when he heard this! The emperor actually said that this is nothing at all!

"That's it, don't say any more, go down! I want to be alone! At this moment, the emperor waved his hand impatiently, he had just finished pampering a concubine, and his physical strength had already been overdrawn, so he could listen to Gonggong Gao's talk at this time. It's already the limit.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Gonggong was very eye-catching, and he responded respectfully when he heard the words. He knew that if he continued to talk about it, the crown princess would not be good, and his own head would fall to the ground!

However, after Gonggong Gao turned around and retreated, the emperor stood alone in the empty inner hall, but he couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that the crown princess and Prince Lian." What's really the connection? ”

But soon, he shook his head and said with a smile: "It's really too much, even if there is a connection." It's just taking advantage of each other, that girl is very infatuated with the prince, and she won't do this kind of thing to hurt him! ”

However, with the emperor's suspicious nature, he couldn't help but think; If she still loves the prince, why would the princess be vain to herself? Could it be that she is really with Prince Lian......

No! It must have been the blow to the crown princess that was too big for the Imperial Garden! She was afraid that the prince would know about it, so she was hypocritical to herself, and Prince Lian was nothing at all......

It must be so!

Thinking of this, the emperor finally came down, but before he fell asleep, he couldn't help but think: Prince Lian has a lot of military power in his hands, and it seems that he needs to reduce some of it......

The annual banquet in the palace seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent. After the first lunar month, the pattern between the DPRK and China gradually underwent some changes.

First of all, the crown prince, because of a moment of negligence, did a wrong errand, was scolded by the emperor in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, took back most of the rights in his hands, and ordered him to think about it behind closed doors for a month.

Xuanyuan Yan knew that his father was dissatisfied with his performance on the day of the annual banquet, so he punished him. He didn't justify this, Ye Ye stayed in the East Palace steadily, and he really didn't go out for a month.

Then there was Prince Lian, the emperor found a reason, cut part of his military power and assigned it to the Duke of Dingguo, and then sent him to Beijing to pacify the disaster area.

As soon as spring began, a plague broke out in the southern border of Dayuan.

In contrast, it is the fourth prince Xuanyuan Chun. With the demotion of Prince Lian, his voice and fame rose in a short period of time, and even the third prince Xuanyuan Yu could not compete with him.

Immediately, inside and outside the palace, a rumor spread, and the people and officials all discussed that the emperor was dissatisfied with the crown prince and was ready to abolish him and replace the four princes born by the current queen as the crown prince!

This rumor is in Beijing at a frantic pace

Spread throughout the city.

……

After the New Year's Festival, Xuanyuan Jingxi stayed in the Hou Mansion for a few more days, and then quietly returned to the northwest, because until this moment, the emperor had not summoned him back to Beijing!

But it won't take much time to think about it, because the queen mother is already putting pressure on the emperor to recall his precious son, just a few days ago, the emperor issued a document to summon Xuanyuan Jingxi back to Beijing, and sent someone to send it to the northwest quickly.

When Gu Ruoxi learned these news, she was relieved in her heart, the situation in the capital was becoming more and more treacherous, Xuanyuan Jingxi could return earlier, there would be more favorable conditions, the progress of Gu Yuetong in the palace had accelerated, and the situation had developed as she expected, at this moment, she just wanted Xuanyuan Jingxi to be by her side.

And in this waiting day, Gu Ruoxi suddenly got Gu Yuetong's post, and she invited her to the palace.

Gu Ruoxi was very surprised, she was so dignified, what did she do when she was invited into the palace? She took the post handed by the palace man himself and looked down several times.

That's right, it was Gu Yuetong's handwritten book.

"Second Miss, since you have received the post, the slave maid will leave first, three days later, please be sure to enter the palace, our mother is waiting for you in the palace." said, paused and said: "Miss has filial piety, you don't have to dress up to enter the palace, and the mother won't mind." ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she already understood, she smiled, nodded at the palace maid and said, "Okay, please go back to the palace and tell the mother, I will definitely enter the palace to visit her in three days." ”

"When the time comes, Miss will enter the palace, just go to visit the Queen Mother first." The palace maid also smiled: "Our mother won't mind." ”

"Good!" Gu Ruoxi nodded, and when she heard this, she became more and more sure that Gu Yuetong must have planned something to invite her into the palace.

The palace maid got the reply, saluted very happily, and when she retreated, she stuffed a small note into Gu Ruoxi's palm without a trace, and withdrew with a smile.

Gu Yuetong immediately gave Liuli on the side a look.

Liuli was in charge of Gu Ruoxi's jewelry and small storeroom, so she naturally knew what this look meant, so she hurriedly took out a purse containing a silver ingot and chased it into her hand and stuffed it into her hand. Dirt and Waste Association.

Waiting for the palace maid to leave, Gu Ruoxi opened the note that was stuffed into his palm.

Only a few words were written on it: The emperor did not change his heart, and his thoughts were completely dispelled!

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Gu Ruoxi guessed.

"Miss, will it be dangerous to enter the palace this time?" After Liuli sent people back, she saw the sneer on the corner of her master's mouth, and couldn't help but ask.

Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, maybe it's a good thing." ”

"A good thing?" Ruriden's eyes widened.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes! Is it a good thing to let the emperor completely die for me? ”

When Liuli heard this, a trace of worry appeared on her face: "Miss, this is risky after all......"

"It's not the way to run away all the time." When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he shook his head and said, "And if I enter the palace, I can make the princess's plan smoother, why not?" ”

"So, miss, what are you going to do?" Amber on the side said in a deep voice: "You have to go to the palace this time, and you have to see the queen mother and the emperor, if you want to not offend both sides, it is difficult to ......"

Gu Ruoxi smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, I have a way." ”

The day after saying this, Gu Ruoxi sent someone to send a message to Xuanyuan Yu, asking him to help with a matter. Xuanyuan Jingxi is not in Kyoto, and he is the only person she can ask for.

Xuanyuan Yu received a private message, stroked his forehead and sighed: "Aunt Huang! Why did you pick such a problem for your nephew! Isn't the Ding family your grandfather's family? You can't do it yourself, what do you want me to do? ”

The people waiting next to him were very puzzled when they looked up to the sky and sighed, but they didn't dare to ask.

Fortunately, after Xuanyuan Yu complained, he still dutifully went to do his duty to do something for Gu Ruoxi.

is worthy of being the heir to the throne selected by Xuanyuan Jingxi, Xuanyuan Yu's means are really powerful, only half a day's work, a carriage carrying an old lady of the Ding family came to the back door of Jinye Houfu.

Gu Ruoxi personally picked up the old lady, as for Xuanyuan Yu, there was no trace of it.

Gu Ruoxi's thoughts were all on the old woman, and she didn't think much about it when she saw this.

Amber and the others saw that her solution was to invite a white-haired old woman from the Ding family who had half of her body into the ground, and they were all curious, and Liuli quietly pulled Amber and asked in a low voice: "You say, what kind of medicine is our lady selling in the gourd this time?" ”

"I can't guess this time!" Amber shook her head.

Gu Ruoxi ignored them, and respectfully invited the old lady directly to Zhixin Courtyard, in this regard, Aunt Xu knew but pretended not to know, and did not send anyone to ask.

Gu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, and after the old lady sat in the flower hall and drank tea and ate snacks, she asked with a smile: "Mama Ding, I heard that you were my mother's nurse when she was alive, Xi'er is so polite." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to the old man.

Mama Ding was taken aback when she heard this, she raised her eyes in disbelief and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and said in a trembling voice: "You, are you the second miss?" Like, what a look! ……”

"Yes, my mother is Min-sook." Gu Ruoxi replied with a smile.

When Amber and the others heard this, they finally understood why Gu Ruoxi invited this old lady here, and their feelings were for the sake of reminiscence!

Hey! That's not right, their young lady never does useless work......

Amber was thinking about it when she saw that Mama Ding trying to open her eyes wide to look at Gu Ruoxi, as if she wanted to see her in her heart.

After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice: "Second Miss, when you were born, the old slave washed your body, and there is a small red mole on your right back......"

"Of course it's still there, if you don't believe it, you can watch it yourself." Gu Ruoxi said, giving the clouds on the side, motioning for her to close the door, and then slowly retreated from the right clothes, revealing a bright red mole on her back. Anyway, the house is full of women, so you don't have to worry about anything.

"This, this is true......" When Mama Ding heard this, her voice trembled, and she raised her eyes in disbelief and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, and the whole person was excited!

Gu Ruoxi replied with a smile: "This is naturally true, there are only two young ladies in the Hou Mansion, my eldest sister is the lady's favorite, and I am the one who is not treated." As she spoke, she smiled bitterly and said, "So, Mama, you don't have to doubt this at all." ”

"My wife naturally believes it!" When Mama Ding heard this, she hurriedly said: "I'm so old, and my wife died early, if it weren't for the little lady, how could she remember me as an old woman?" As he spoke, he sighed: "Before I die, I can see the little lady, the old slave is dead, and I have no regrets......" said, a few tears flowed in the old man's eyes. "What is this thing that Mama said, you still have a long time to live!" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she hurriedly comforted Mama Ding, and then said with a smile: "I invite Mama over this time, I just want to ask you, I really want to know about my mother's affairs......"

Mama Ding heard this. Hurriedly nodded and said, "What does Miss want to know, the slave knows everything!" As he spoke, he sighed again: "When Miss died, Miss Xiao was still in her infancy!" I didn't expect you to miss her so much, and Miss was dumbfounded......"

"It's nature." Gu Ruoxi smiled reluctantly and said. In fact, she only had sympathy for this red-faced Miss Ding Er, and had no other feelings.

"What does the young lady want to ask?" Mama Ding raised her eyes and glanced at her and said. Dirty and skilled.

Gu Ruoxi responded: "I want to know, does my mother really look very similar to me?" What was her temperament like when she was younger? Was it gentle or lively, I know that many people liked her very much at that time, what are the characteristics of her? ”

"Little Miss, do you want to know this?" When Mama Ding heard this, she was stunned: "I thought it would." What you want to ask about is the earth-shattering love between her and Hou Ye......"

"It's not!" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she shook her head with a smile and said, "Mama, I have heard everything my father say, and the reason why I came to you today is because I am in big trouble." ”

"Oh? What's the trouble? When Mama Ding heard this, her eyes widened, and there was a trace of anxiety in her expression: "Little Miss, your problem slave and maid will tell you!" He said. There was an expression of memory on his face: "Back then, the little lady's appearance was more beautiful than that of the eldest lady at the beginning, although I can't tell what was good." But give

People feel like that, she has always been gentle, she has never spoken loudly in her life, and she is very calm in her work, and because of this, she is favored by the current emperor and Jinye Hou at the same time......"

"Mama, that's the trouble!" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately sighed and said: "My mother married my father, which makes the saint miss out on the beauty today, he has been haunted by this for so many years, and he has never forgotten my mother...... As a last resort. I just invited you! ”

"W-that's true?" When Mama Ding heard this, she felt like she had been thundered, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and sighed, "Yes! Who would have thought that he would have such a dirty mind? ”

"But little miss, you are already engaged to His Royal Highness King Jing! How could the emperor do this? Mama Ding sighed for a long time: "How can he be like this? ”

"He has been sitting in that seat for so many years, he wants the wind to be windy and rainy, and he doesn't care about morality or anything at all, and it won't work at all to persuade him, this time I invite my grandmother to come, just want you to tell me, what is there about me that is very similar to my mother? I changed it! Gu Ruoxi said in a deep voice.

Mama Ding then understood why Gu Ruoxi had to go to great lengths to invite herself over, because only she could know what she shouldn't have! She nodded without thinking: "Little Miss, don't worry, the slave will tell everything she knows!" As he spoke, he looked up and down Gu Ruoxi several times.

Amber and the others suddenly realized when they heard this, and they all felt that the young lady had made this move.

Gu Ruoxi stood there without moving. Let Mama Ding look at it.

After a long while, Mama Ding said: "The little lady is now sad about the death of the marquis, her body is too thin, this is not the same as the lady, and the eye waves are not the same, you can see a very resolute look in the eyes of the little lady, and the temperament of the lady is too gentle......"

Mama Ding babbled a lot.

Gu Ruoxi listened attentively, remembered every word she said in her heart, and occasionally began to think about what kind of changes should be made in her heart, as long as she glanced at her, the emperor would never feel for her again!

"Little Miss! That's all the old slave knows......" Two hours later, Mama Ding stopped talking.

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said, "Mama, I have memorized what you said, don't worry!" I've got an idea. ”

"Good, good!" When Mama Ding heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "The old slave can see that the young lady has more ideas than the lady back then, and the lady was ...... back then Alas, still don't talk about it! ”

"Mama, don't be too sad." Gu Ruoxi sighed: "Now that mother and father should be together, in a sense, this is a good thing......"

“

Oh, yes! Meddlesome! When Mama Ding heard this, she immediately wiped the tears on her face.

On this day, Gu Ruoxi left Mama Ding to live in Zhiyu's courtyard, and it was not until the morning of the second day that she sent someone to send her back to Ding's mansion, of course, for fear of being discovered, everything was quiet.

The three-day period was soon upon us.

Early in the morning, after getting up, Gu Ruoxi spent more than twice as much time sitting in front of the mirror to dress up, and she didn't see how she moved, everything was done according to the specifications of entering the palace, but when she finished it, Amber and the others felt that she was beautiful like this, but she completely lost the soul-seizing temperament she used to have.

What's more, she has a little more coldness on her. inexplicably, it makes those who see her daunting.

"How? I don't make it seem obtrusive, do I? Gu Ruoxi carefully looked at his face in the mirror, and asked with a smile to a few servant girls around him.

Amber was the first to react, and she whispered, "Miss, you are doing this just like usual!" Are you sure this can really extinguish the last vestiges of the emperor's illusions? ”

"Or else?" Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Amber, and said, "I deliberately scandalized myself to achieve this goal by disgusting the emperor?" I want to say, you are all too naïve, our emperor, he is very suspicious, he may have a little dislike for me at the time, but then he will have a little doubt in his mind, and in this way, it will attract his attention to me, which is not the result we want, understand? ”

"Miss, I see!" When Liuli on the side heard this, he immediately nodded and smiled: "The first thing we should do is to be generous, not only to get rid of the emperor's thoughts, but also not to let him doubt it!" Yes and no? ”
