Chapter Twenty-Seven: Money
After returning to the palace, Gu Zhi saw that the time was not early, he had already finished the business of going out today, and he had to listen to the reports of his subordinates, and the border affairs needed to be dealt with.
So he sent someone to send the princess back first.
Gu Hui went out for a trip and gained a lot, and when she came back, the things she took were all loaded in a carriage, and Gu Zhi specially sent a few little eunuchs to help her take things back to Fangyi Pavilion.
None of the two knew that they were low-key, and after such a trip, the concubines in the harem knew that the emperor took the third princess out of the palace today.
It's good to have a concubine who has no children and no daughters, but she just sighs at the benefits of having children, and envy Xu Zhaoyuan for having a princess who has a sacred heart, and she is quite valued by the emperor with herself.
Those who have children, especially princesses, secretly don't know how many veils they have torn.
There are only so many favors of the emperor, theoretically speaking, everyone in the harem is a competitor, if her daughter is on the throne today, her daughter will have to retreat and be inferior to others.
How can the women who have been in the harem for half their lives be reconciled?
"Xiao'er, in a few days it will be the day when Gu Hui will go to the palace to study, you have always been smart, and your father often praises you, you must not let Gu Hui compare to this aspect of learning, otherwise your father will not be able to take you seriously."
Gu Xiao is a five-year-old girl, wearing a goose-yellow skirt, looking very cute, but pursing her lips straight, her eyes are resentful, and she doesn't look like a child.
She nodded seriously, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely make him look good when the time comes." ”
Where are there real children in the harem, whether male or female, they understand a lot at a young age, and it is not for nothing that Xu Zhaoyuan thinks seriously about children, and there are many people who can compete for favor with children.
This kind of dialogue is also played out in other places, and for a while, the mother and daughter who live in a remote corner of the east become the target of the harem.
Gu Hui naturally knew that she was favored, and many people would regard her as a thorn in the flesh, but they didn't take it to heart at all, humming a little song happily, and bouncing back to Fangyi Pavilion.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Xu Zhaoyuan sat at the door and waited as early as when the sun was sinking, seeing that this girl really changed a set of clothes, she glanced at it with disgust, it seemed that she was causing trouble outside.
Squatted down, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from her head.
"Playing crazy outside, I know if I'm hungry when I come back, and I ordered the kitchen to make your favorite lotus root flour balls tonight."
"Lotus root flour balls!"
Listening to what he liked to eat, Gu Hui's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
It is not without her benefits to be favored, and the treatment of opening a small kitchen in her palace is only available to high-ranking concubines, and generally low-level concubines can only spend money to go to the imperial dining room to eat some of the things they want to eat.
At least during the period of being valued by the emperor, Gu Hui's diet and treatment skyrocketed.
The mother and daughter sat and had a full meal, and Gu Hui had already noticed that Xu Zhaoyuan was in a good mood today, so he made a tentative sound.
"Mother, what happened to me today, can you say that Ling'er will be happy together."
Xu Zhaoyuan looked at her eyes flashing with gossip, smiled and nodded her head, her eyes were radiant, and her words and deeds were full of charm.
"The noble Yi corrected Li Xiuyi in the queen's palace today, saying that she killed the concubines and took the throne in vain...... Scourge to the Emperor's heir. Poison the princess. ”
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Xu Zhaoyuan took a sip of tea, and her eyes were obscure.
"Ahh
Gu Hui opened her mouth wide, with a look of surprise, looking at the smile on her mother's face, she instantly admired, if she remembered correctly, Li Xiuyi was Liu Guifei's person.
Why didn't I find out that the old lady was a talent of Gong Dou before? Could it be that her recent palace fighting soul is burning?
Xu Zhaoyuan's eyes flashed with a strange light, smiled meaningfully, and gently stroked Gu Hui.
"Ling'er rest assured, my mother will make you the most noble woman in the world, and no one will dare to touch you!"
Gu Hui: Her mother seems to be a bit perverted...... (shivering)
"Ah~ Mother, I bought a lot of beautiful jewelry outside the palace today! Nuan Chun went to bring things. ”
Looking at Xu Zhaoyuan's deeper and deeper eyes, Gu Hui's eyes rolled and he hurriedly changed the topic.
Today outside the palace, she has indeed gained a lot, Jin Yuxuan is taking the high-end and atmospheric sales route, even the children's jewelry is small and exquisite, and it is worth a lot.
Nuan Chun took the palace maids to put things in a row, but they couldn't even set up a single table, and they put a large piece of space in pieces.
Gu Hui turned around with a sense of accomplishment, waved his hand very generously, and looked at Xu Xu Zhaoyuan with some flattery.
"Whatever my mother likes, pick whatever you like."
Seeing the familiar box, Xu Zhaoyuan looked at Gu Hui with a strange look in her eyes, which made her scratch her head.
"This is Jin Yuxuan's jewelry, right?"
Gu Hui touched his head, "How does my mother know?" Oh~ I heard that this jewelry store has been open for a long time, and my mother should have bought jewelry in it before, right? ”
Xu Zhaoyuan touched the familiar lines of the jewelry box, with nostalgia in her eyes, and murmured softly.
"Indeed...... I haven't seen it in years. ”
The mother's behavior was really weird, Gu Hui touched her head and looked at Xu Zhaoyuan worriedly.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhaoyuan smiled, took out the butterfly double flying meteor hairpin in the box, and carefully brought it for Gu Hui, which was very delicate and small, and it was just right to be stuck on Gu Hui's small bun.
She took Gu Hui's hand and sat in front of the bed, waved her hand, and motioned for all the palace maids and eunuchs to leave.
"Ling'er, do you know your grandmother?"
Gu Hui frowned.
"Today, I heard in the Anguo Mansion that the relationship between Mrs. Anguo and her grandmother is very good, but I have never heard of my mother."
"Mrs. An Guogong...... Yes, she does have a good relationship with her mother, and I used to go to their house when I was a child. ”
Xu Zhaoyuan retracted what she was thinking, collected her thoughts, and continued to speak.
"In the past, I never told you about your grandmother because of sentimental old things, and because of what happened when I entered the palace, everything was lost, so for so many years, I have never called your eldest aunt into the palace, I know, Ling'er watched the second princess's aunt enter the palace, is it very envious?"
Gu Hui felt Xu Zhaoyuan's hand caressing her head lovingly, and smiled embarrassedly.
“…… I wasn't very envious. ”
She is not a real three-year-old child, she can't talk about envy, she just watched the second princess's aunt enter the palace, she was a little curious, but she didn't want to be seen by her mother.
"Ling'er, in fact, Jin Yuxuan belongs to our family!"
⊙∀⊙?
"What? Jin Yuxuan is our family. ”
Their family runs a chain gold store?
Xu Zhaoyuan's eyes were empty at this time, and he didn't pay attention to Gu Hui's obvious surprise.
"Your grandmother...... She's a strange woman. ”
[Author's digression]: Xu Zhaoyuan: Daughter, your mother will make you the most noble woman in the world, and no one dares to touch you.
Big pig's trotters: Ling'er rest assured, your father will protect you for a lifetime.
Someone: I'm doing all this to be able to have you.
Gu Hui: Please, everyone, I'm scheming, okay?
The heroine who has the most room to play in history.
