It was better to come early than to come by chance, Qingqian quietly blended into the crowd, and then slowly leaned close to the old lady's side, and the old lady also thought that she was just going to talk to the people around her, so she didn't ask where she went.

I don't know what the old lady said to Gu Qinglian, at this time, the expression on Gu Qingqian's face was gentle like water, which made a man like a spring breeze, although the head and skirt were not polite, but the whole person was radiant.

If you want to hook up with a man, talk about a fart etiquette!

Gu Qingyuan took a step back and came to Qing Qian's side and said, "Second sister is really beautiful. ”

Qingqian didn't know whether she was praising or disparagement, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything.

She didn't want to care about this matter now, so let Gu Qinglian attract all her eyes, and she could think about who wanted to take her to the cold palace on the side.

She didn't know how many people Gu Qingqian had offended in the past, since the master that the palace maid said was Niangniang, then she was also a person above the concubine position, Gu Qingqian always had no brains to offend such a person, she couldn't do it at all, and she herself shouldn't have entered the palace a few times, and every time at most, she went to the Jade Xiao Palace.

Mo is not from the Jade Xiao Palace?

This idea is really ridiculous, Concubine Xiao Guifei still has to call her aunt, there is no reason to let the palace maid put him to death.

If the Gu family's concubine dies in the palace, it will be really interesting.

She thought about it, and the whole person sank in, and when she heard Gu Qinglian call "sister" twice in her ear, she came back to her senses and looked at her blankly.

What did she tell her to do if she didn't attract men?

"Sister, grandmother will let me sit with her in a while, my sister shouldn't have any opinions, right?" Gu Qinglian asked her with a wink.

Qing Qian came back to his senses, glanced at the behavior of the banquet and said: "Naturally not, if my sister wants to sit down, then I can sit with my grandmother, and my third sister and I can sit at the bottom." ”

That seat should have been reserved for the concubine, but since the old lady agreed to her seat, why bother finding a boring one? Besides, the food is the same whether you are seated or seated in this position, so why bother to fight for the seat seat?

She wants to be in the limelight, so let her be in the limelight.

Qingqian pulled Gu Qingyuan to the bottom of the banquet, Gu Qingyuan blinked and said, "Sister, did you let her sit on it like this?" ”

Qing Qian hummed and said: "Since the old lady agrees, then how can I refuse, this is not Gu Mansion, many people in Beppu are watching, today the old lady brought her here to find a mother-in-law." ”

Gu Qingyuan said lightly: "Grandmother is looking for the second sister directly?" Then you ......"

She didn't want to get married so early! Qing Qian smiled and said: "You should have known it a long time ago, otherwise according to the previous management, the old lady would let her change out of this unreasonable costume no matter what." What my grandmother was thinking now was that since all the things that were not in line with the etiquette had been done, it was understandable to make it bigger, anyway, everyone sitting here was only here to go to the banquet, and the emperor and empress would not come. ”

"Yes." Qing Yuan entered the following position with her.

Surrounded by the concubines of Beppu, Gu Qingyuan seemed to be quite popular among them, and everyone was shocked to see her sitting with her own sister-in-law.

Who doesn't know Gu Qingqian? It was the delicate eldest lady in the Gu Mansion, and the maids from the other courtyards involuntarily hid to the side, leaving a gap with her.

Smacking her tongue, how terrible she is, looking at these girls who are far away from her, she can only bury her head in eating what is in front of her.

Those people also felt a little strange, how could the eldest lady of the Gu family have this treatment in the past, and they had faintly heard that the eldest lady of the Gu family was used by Prime Minister Gu Cheng in the past, and it seemed to be true.

It's just that according to her temperament, how can she be as gentle as she sees now, sitting here motionless?

Just as they were thinking about it, they saw Miss Gu smiling slightly.

It's a dead life! Miss Gu is not making a fuss! Still smiling at them? This dry girl feels that she doesn't feel cold anymore in this winter.

Looking at the panicked appearance of this group of concubines, the corners of his shallow mouth twitched, and he honestly sat in his place and waited for the banquet to begin.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

Everyone was waiting for the feast, only to hear a sharp voice from the eunuch, and they all looked at the door of the garden, and the palace maids on both sides saw a fair lady wearing a golden crown slowly walked out.

Qing Qian sat a little far away and didn't see the face of the queen mother carefully, she had already bowed her head and saluted with everyone, Xiao Guifei quickly gave up her seat and sat beside herself.

"Queen Shen Mushi, she actually came back today." She heard someone next to her exclaim.

The queen sat down and said, "Today, the emperor is discussing with many ministers in the front hall, so he may not be able to come for the time being." ”

The queen's voice was warm and dignified, and it was very good.

Xiao Guifei said with a smile: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the concubines can naturally understand, it is enough to have the queen's mother to appreciate her face, so let's have a banquet." ”

Only then did a plate of dishes break out in the imperial dining room, the concubine's birthday specifications were extremely high, and the imperial chef naturally did not dare to slack off, from mountain delicacies to seafood, looking at Qingqian pinching his Luo skirt and his heart tightened.

If only you could eat this kind of good food every day!

Fortunately, she was sitting in the lower position, and no one came to disturb her, she sat on the seat and ate quite happily, and the young lady on the side watched her eat for a long time, and it was the first time they saw someone with a pair of chopsticks that could hold four prawns without trembling, quite quickly peeling the shell and taking the meat, as if there was no one else.

I didn't have much time to eat, and I saw the palace maids on both sides coming in one after another with Yaoqin in their arms, sitting around the banquet, and there was an ink-colored Yaoqin in the middle.

I only heard Gu Qingyuan say softly: "The second sister is proficient in musical instruments, especially Yaoqin......"

Before the words were spoken, I saw that Gu Qinglian had already gotten up, and she had already put on a plain gauze robe outside, and saluted the queen: "Today is the birthday of the noble concubine, and the little girl Gu Qinglian, the young lady of the Gu family, is a little ugly." ”

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "In recent days, I have heard Prime Minister Gu praise the second lady of the Gu family for her well-behaved and sensible poetry and book talent, and she is proficient in music and rhythm. ”

She wasn't particularly interested in it, but it was good to have fun after a full meal.

Just like Gu Qingyuan said, Gu Qinglian is indeed quite proficient in music, these palace maids don't know if they are invited extras, when Gu Qinglian sat in front of the Yaoqin, she plucked the strings with her hands and made a crisp sound, and then a string of notes rose one after another like a heavenly sound, and the aftermath of the song lingered for a long time.

The praise around her continued, and Mo Ruyu, the fourth lady from the general's mansion next to her, asked her, "What does Miss Gu think of the second lady's tune?" ”

Qing Qian took a handkerchief and wiped the sauce on his hands and said softly: "My sister's song is quite good, I should have been preparing for a long time, but unfortunately I don't understand the sound of the piano, but I have some burning the piano and boiling cranes." ”

Everyone: "......" This is really not Gu Qingqian, or is it possible that this girl has really changed sex?

Qing Qian didn't pay attention, but she noticed the queen's gaze.

How did she think that seeing the queen actually had a ...... A familiar feeling.

Gu Qinglian saluted towards the seat, and then got up and returned to her seat, probably because there were more people here today, and the placement of the stool was also uneven, she was dressed in a long dress and a Luo skirt, and she couldn't see what was under her feet at all, and she was accidentally tripped over.

But this kick was also too coincidental, and looking at it lightly, the person sitting in this position happened to be the second prince Shen Ye.

Qingqian didn't know if she did it on purpose, but the second prince seemed to be reaching out quickly, and he could react quickly when the chair was kicked, and he got up and helped him up before he could throw it out.

"Second cousin is fine." Shen Ye was dressed in a python robe, and with this environment, it was extremely good-looking in Gu Qinglian's eyes.

Her face flushed slightly, and she whispered: "Thank you, Second Prince, Qinglian had a foot injury before, but this time she didn't pay attention to her foot and hit the chair again." ”

Shen Ye smiled slightly, and asked the little guy next to her to help her back to the chair.

Gu Qinglian's face was flushed all the time, and she occasionally glanced at Shen Ye beside her secretly, and then lowered her head again.

The old lady didn't seem to see it beside her, and she was still talking and laughing about something with Xiao Guifei.

That's kind of interesting.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour, the queen left the seat and returned to the palace, and the families also said goodbye, the old lady still took Gu Qinglian to the Jade Xiao Palace, the carriage of the Gu Mansion had come to pick them up, but they did not return empty-handed, the concubine Niangniang still rewarded a lot of things down, then Aunt He saw Qingqian and saluted: "Miss Gu, my mother-in-law said that the rice cakes taste very good, if you make a lot of them, you can send them to the palace another day, and the concubine Niangniang has her own reward." ”

I have to say that the shallow rice cakes are still very successful, and there are a lot of things that the concubine Niangniang has rewarded, but many things are not used by themselves, just like those jewelry, go back to the yard and pick a few things for those little maids, and the remaining boxes of rouge gouache look good, and you can give some to your mother.

"Thank you, Aunt He." Qing Qian replied with a half-salute.

Aunt He was talking to the person next to her, Qing Yuan had already entered the carriage, and Qing Qian was about to go in when she saw a strange palace maid standing beside her.

"The slave is the person who is close to the queen," the girl looked at her, "and the queen said that if she has time, she can come to the palace to talk." ”

The people around the Queen? Her face changed slightly, the queen was the first time she had seen her, and she was also shrunk in the corner without making a sound, how did the queen want her to come to the palace.

was first taken to the cold palace by the inexplicable palace maid, then met the crown prince and the second prince, and then the invitation of the queen's mother, and was confused.

"Plain and clear."

She didn't take it to heart, she just said it when the queen came over, and she didn't know when the next time she entered the palace.
