Chapter 419: Changes in the Palace (Second Update)
When Gu Qing got the news, he was a little relieved all night, and he didn't even go to the morning horseback ride, waiting for Gu Mingzhu in the study.
"Father, I have something to ask you for." Gu Mingzhu, who was dressed in a ferret cloak, entered the study and opened her mouth straight to the point.
Gu Qing's face was solemn, and she asked the maid to come in with tea and soup, and asked Gu Mingzhu to sit down on the couch: "What's the matter?" ”
After entering the study, Gu Mingzhu found that it was different from before, this time the earth dragon had been burned in the study, and the warmth was overwhelming, so she asked Abi to untie her cloak, and then she said: "I want to borrow my father's personal soldiers in Yizhou." ”
Gu Qing's face changed suddenly, and he looked at her: "What are you going to do?" What happened? ”
Yizhou is the northwest border city of the Tang Dynasty, adjacent to the countries of the Western Regions, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the northwest are stationed, Gu Qing stays there most of the time, and there is indeed a personal guard who has followed him for many years and is brave and good at fighting, but he doesn't understand why Gu Mingzhu would talk about this.
Gu Mingzhu frowned, waved away the people who were waiting in the study, and then whispered about his plan.
After listening to her words, Gu Qing's face was a little unpleasant, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Is this the news that the Manna Hall got from?" He pondered for a long time, and finally asked, such a thing is really not trivial, he doesn't know how Gu Mingzhu would know, and he said it so clearly.
Gu Mingzhu bowed slightly, and did not answer him directly, but said: "There is only one thing, please father must accept me." ”
"Those people, please stay with me, I'm still useful."
She understated a sentence, but Gu Qing was speechless for a long time, speculating whether it was the meaning of the queen of heaven or Gu Mingzhu's own opinion, if it was really Gu Mingzhu's idea, then all this was really too ridiculous.
It's just that no matter whose idea it is, he can't refuse, so he can only sigh and say, "I'll let Zhang Yan rush to Yizhou." ”
Zhang Yan is Gu Qing's deputy general and his cronies, and he is willing to use Zhang Yan even if he agrees to this matter.
Gu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Gu Qing, and then left.
Gu Qing was the only one left in the warm study, he sat alone on the couch, looking at the tea soup on the empty desk, still steaming slightly, but the person had already left.
After all, the distance between their father and daughter has reached this point, Gu Mingzhu will only politely ask for his help, but will not discuss with him and tell him about his difficulties.
Obviously, she is still a little lady who has not yet come out of the cabinet, but she is already like a hundred steels, but she only teaches people distress when she looks at it, how many hardships have she gone through to get to this point.
He was guilty.
After the Shangyuan Festival, the palace began to adopt things again.
The court sent the list of selected palace maids, and the Shanggong Bureau sent the list of concubines, all of which were placed in Gu Mingzhu's hands.
It's just that these Gu Mingzhu didn't dare to call the shots without permission, and came to see the queen of heaven with the roster.
The queen of heaven is feeding the wren brother under the corridor in front of the palace, which was sent into the palace a few days ago by the king of Xian, the oily water is the most chirping, and the voice is chirping as if she is singing, which is very popular with the queen of heaven.
“…… I won't look at the roster of palace maids, you see, the family background is innocent, but it will be released in a few years," the queen of heaven teased the wren brother in the cage with Guosu, and said casually: "This time, I only picked four picking girls, all of whom are from good families, so let's leave them all." ”
Gu Mingzhu responded, and asked again: "It's just something else......"
The queen of heaven smiled and turned her head to look at Gu Mingzhu: "I saw that the younger ladies at the Qibao Banquet that day were all like flowers and jade, there has been no such excitement in this palace for a while, it is time to have some such flowers and years to talk." ”
The ladies invited to the Qibao banquet are all just the age of Lu, only Guo Qi Niangzi and Lu Liuniang are the older ones in the house, but the five grades of the Zhongsan doctor Li family are the youngest.
Gu Mingzhu naturally understood what the queen of heaven meant, and said softly: "Let's go and draw up the roster, and ask the mother for royal permission." ”
When Nafeng's edict came down, your mansion was boiling.
The palace has not accepted concubines for many years, and the only few were in the palace in the early years, but now they have carried seven or eight beauties and talented people into the palace.
Someone who was interested in it said, but found that these few people who were canonized were all the ladies who went to the Qibao Banquet that day, and the queen of heaven actually took a fancy to them, and all of them stayed in the palace, but the ladies in the Guo family of the Taishi Mansion, the Lu family of Guanglu and the right servant of the horse family were not left, and they couldn't help but teach people to guess whether these people were relying on the power and power of the house, and they were inevitably a little arrogant, so they were not valued by the queen of heaven.
Some people also speculated that the queen of heaven had a grudge against these mansions, so she was not selected.
It's just that no matter which one it is, it made Guo Qi Niangzi ashamed and annoyed, and threw the jade comb in her hand to the ground and smashed it in half.
"What's going on, it's obviously a Seven Treasures Banquet, and it's not a selection, why do you want to involve me too!" Her face was flushed with anger, and she bit her lip tightly, "Who rarely enters the palace and is a concubine, no matter how beautiful it is, she is just a concubine, what is there to be glorious." ”
The servant girl who was waiting next to her was so frightened that she was silent, and no one dared to speak, but no one in the house knew that when Mrs. Guo San took the Seven Ladies to the Seven Treasures Banquet, she also had a thought, and the power of the Taishi Mansion, if the Seven Ladies could enter the palace as a concubine, they would inevitably be far better than the original Han family, and that was the real wealth and compelling.
It's just that the queen of heaven didn't pick her, and picked all those people, but left a handle for people, no wonder the seventh lady was so annoyed.
For a while, a few families in Chang'an Guifu were happy and a few worried, but they all noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was very different, this time counting the girls and royal maids selected from the people, there were more than ten concubines in the six palaces, and no one could figure out what plans to make after the day, and it was inevitable that they all had speculations.
In the midst of speculation and curiosity, the Ganlu Hall was as calm as before, and the queen of heaven watched Princess Anping finish practicing big characters, and asked her a few words of homework, then nodded with satisfaction, and let her go horseback, but she took Gu Mingzhu and Xu Siyan out of the palace.
"Go to the Anren Temple." The queen of heaven got into the Fengluan car, and stopped talking after giving a command.
The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and Xu Siyan and the palace maids didn't dare to say much, so they quietly sat on the side.
These days, the queen rarely goes to the Anren Palace, and she doesn't mention the Duchess of Wei to anyone, only in the Taiji Hall and the sage, she still persuades the sage to go over to see the Duchess of Wei, after all, she has a body, and she can't say that she is pregnant with a son in her womb, and the Duchess of Wei is always thinking about the saint.
But the more he listened, the more irritated he became, and he simply said that he had a headache, and he didn't ask about it anymore, and handed it over to the queen of heaven to deal with.
In this way, the Duchess of Wei, who was left in the Anren Hall and couldn't even get out of the door, really became a silent existence.
