Chapter 188: A Painful Fight
"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived."
Today's day is so formal, Gu Zhi went to the queen's palace early in the morning to prepare with her, and now the two of them are dressed in gorgeous clothes and walk in one after the other.
The crowd hurriedly saluted.
"See the emperor, see the queen."
Looking at the person kneeling on the ground at the bottom of the steps, a hint of relief flashed in the queen's eyes.
In any case, she is the mother of a country, and no matter how much the emperor doesn't like her, he has to go with her on this occasion.
No matter what those people at the bottom thought in their hearts, they still had to bow down to him respectfully.
"Excuse me."
"Emperor Xie, Queen Xie."
The queen's eyes swept down, and when she saw the red of Gu Hui and the four of them, she looked down at her red long skirt that fell to the ground, and smiled and paused.
They stood together, one was graceful and luxurious, one was gentle and generous, one was heroic, and the other was lively and pretty.
The four of them are all younger than the queen, and they don't need to take care of too many things, and they are well maintained.
Naturally, she looks much more energetic than the hard-working queen.
instantly compared the queen to the mud, the queen pinched her clothes and looked at the four of them, and secretly gritted her teeth.
Gu Zhi smiled happily when he saw that the four of them had such a good relationship, and he loved to see the harmony between his brothers and sisters.
"The four of you made an appointment? Haha, the princess of my Gu family should be like this. ”
Gu Hui lowered his head and smiled shyly.
The eldest princess of Lin'an looked at Princess Jin, like a victorious rooster, with her head held high, and she was extremely unstoppable.
The eldest princess of Linyang looked at the queen and raised her eyebrows happily.
I have to say that the reason why the princess of the Gu family is so arrogant is that the emperors of the past dynasties are used to it, and Gu Zhi's current approach is exactly the same as that of the previous emperor.
The emperor spoke, and the queen didn't say anything more, but her face was very bad.
The queens of the past dynasties were embarrassed, not only had to fight against many concubines in the harem, deal with the complicated things of the harem, but also fight with so many noble sisters-in-law.
She is relatively easy, there are only two eldest princesses in this generation, and the eldest princess of Linyang is a good-looking person, just comparing them secretly, and she won't make too much trouble.
The eldest princess of Lin'an has a flamboyant and arrogant personality, but she married outside, the mountains are far away, and she has never returned to the capital once for many years.
As soon as the queen became married and gave birth to a prince, even if the concubine was domineering, she could only disgust and disgust her, and she could not threaten her status in the slightest.
The queen has indeed lived a good life for more than ten years.
But......
Glancing at the four people who were standing in place and smiling in red, the queen rubbed her temples and squeezed out a dignified smile.
She wears red clothes every year for the New Year, so I don't believe these people don't know, but they still wear red clothes invariably, obviously premeditated and provoked her.
Looking at the four of them, the queen's eyes flashed with calculation.
No one wants to threaten her position!
Gu Hui keenly felt an unkind gaze, and looked up sharply.
met the queen's gaze, and when he saw that it was Gu Hui, he squeezed out a gentle smile.
Gu Hui: "......"
(•́ω•̀٥)
The queen wouldn't think they were deliberately provoking her, would she?
Wronged!
How could she be so boring, even for the sake of the prince's brother......
"Changning, come and sit with your aunt, auntie, I like you the most."
The eldest princess of Lin'an blocked the queen's gaze, and dragged Gu Hui to her seat with a smile, Cheng Yan smiled at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't care about this.
ran to the side and chatted with the county lord of Qingle, the daughter of the eldest princess of Linyang, with his head down.
Everyone sat down, and a total of three seats were placed on the high platform, Gu Zhi sat in the main seat in the middle, and the queen sat on the right.
Gu Zhi glanced at another seat on the high platform and coughed lightly.
"This morning, there was a word in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother is unwell, so she will not come to celebrate the New Year with us, today is just a family banquet, you are free."
The Queen Mother is not here, Gu Hui is not surprised, she is now more than nine years old, and she has been guarding for nine years, except for the first three years, she has not seen the Queen Mother once.
Over the years, the Queen Mother has also claimed to be unwell, and has always only been active in Cining Palace, and she doesn't like to go out, nor does she like concubines to go to her palace to ask for peace.
Gu Hui has grown so big, and he has only seen this grandmother a few times, and it is still on the Queen Mother's birthday every year.
Not only him, except for the second prince Gu De, who was raised by the Queen Mother since he was a child, Gu Zhi These children are relatively unfamiliar with the Queen Mother.
The night banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil is no different from usual, it is still those songs and dances, and everyone is tired of watching them.
Only the eldest princess of Lin'an has not returned to the capital for many years, and she is very happy to see these bustles.
"After more than ten years, the singing and dancing in the capital have changed a lot, and it is really fresh."
Gu Hui tilted his head and smiled obediently, but he didn't make a sound, but the eldest princess of Linyang started to talk.
"If Lin'an likes these, you can go to the city that never sleeps, it is close to the capital, where the play projects are very famous, and I want to go there to soak in the hot springs this winter."
The eldest princess of Lin'an's eyes lit up.
"I did hear of the reputation there, so why don't I go with my eldest sister."
The corners of the eldest princess of Linyang's mouth twitched, and she regretted mentioning this matter a little.
Her sister's style has also been clear these days, and if she goes with her, I'm afraid she will be blackmailed again.
"By the way, I heard that Jin Yuxuan is Changning's industry, but is it true?"
Gu Hui was eating the pastry with his head down, raised his head innocently, looked at Aunt Linyang's sympathetic eyes, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and looked at Aunt Lin'an's bright eyes.
Somewhat afraid, he nodded.
"That's right, what does my aunt command?"
Hearing her affirmation, the smile on the face of the eldest princess of Lin'an was much more enthusiastic, and she hugged Gu Hui as if she was caressing her heart.
"Changning is so young, it's really amazing! Jin Yuxuan's jewelry, it just so happens that my aunt likes it very much, we are all members of the family, and I'm not welcome, can you give me some discounts? You know ...... too."
Gu Hui hurriedly broke free from the arms of the eldest princess of Lin'an and nodded.
"It's all a family, what do you say, in the future, my aunt will go to Jin Yuxuan to buy things, all of them will be discounted, and I will let people send the discount card to my aunt's house later."
Got her wish, the eldest princess of Lin'an smiled with satisfaction, and looked at Gu Hui's gaze even more.
Gu Hui smiled back, equally pure.
Jin Yuxuan is a high-level business, what he sells is feelings, if you don't count the designer's expenses, the cost is actually not high.
With the discount card, they will buy more and drive production.
Anyway...... She won't lose.
These ladies in the capital usually talk about jewelry and clothes, Jin Yuxuan has always been famous, and it is not very polite to see that the eldest princess of Lin'an has won it.
They all came around, and everyone's eyes were equally kind, looking at Gu Hui as if they were looking at their own daughter.
"Changning, I'm your seventh aunt."
"Changning, I hugged you when I was a child."
Gu Hui nodded hurriedly, revealing a well-behaved smile and a surprised look.
"It's all there!"
