Chapter 258: Turbulent Undercurrents (Part 2)
The Duchess of Wei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and she said goodbye to the queen of heaven and was about to leave the palace in a hurry.
The queen smiled casually: "Go, I'll send someone to the Wei Mansion to pick you up into the palace later." ”
Duchess Wei smiled innocently and brightly, and nodded again and again: "I'll bring Jiaojiao into the palace too, I don't worry if it doesn't follow me to raise me." ”
The queen of heaven nodded, and instructed Xu Siyan to send the Duchess of Wei out, and then looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting upright on the side.
From beginning to end, Gu Mingzhu kept her head down, taking a small sip of tea soup in a teapot, without looking too much, and she didn't know what she was thinking after listening to the conversation between her and the Duchess of Wei, but she just looked calm and peaceful, not a little cramped.
"I've always heard that there are three ladies in General Gu's mansion, all of whom are very smart," the queen smiled and opened her mouth to talk to Gu Mingzhu, "I can't compare to you, only such a sister, I can't help but get closer to me." ”
Gu Mingzhu was stunned, and didn't know why she talked about this with her after the day, frowned, and said softly: "Niangniang and Duchess Wei have a deep sisterhood, which is enviable. ”
"What about you, aren't you sisters with Gu Er Niangzi and Third Niangzi?" The queen of heaven looked at Gu Mingzhu with interest, waiting for her answer.
Gu Mingzhu did not evade, smiled faintly, and looked at the queen calmly: "Even if they are not related by blood, even if they are sisters, many flesh and blood relatives are not as good as passers-by." ”
Her words are a bit rebellious, if it is really a rebellious word, it can be regarded as unfilial piety, but Gu Mingzhu is not afraid, and dares to say this in front of the queen of heaven because this sentence was said by the queen of heaven herself.
When she was still the princess of Xian, the queen of heaven was seriously ill, she entered the palace to serve in front of the bed, and heard the queen of heaven say such a sentence in an extremely decadent tone, since she refused to mention the Pingwu Yuan family, she refused to say goodbye to the people of the Yuan family.
It's just that the queen of heaven at this time was still taken aback when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Gu Mingzhu carefully a few times before she smiled: "You kid is a temperamental, although this sentence sounds rebellious, but there is also some truth, there are many people in this world who kill each other and fight in the same room, who dares to say that relatives can treat it sincerely." ”
She shook her head, and didn't say anything more about this, but talked to Gu Mingzhu about something else.
The Duchess of Wei Guo walked out of the Ganlu Palace, hurriedly went down the jade steps, her face was full of joy, and she ordered the maids who followed her into the palace: "Quickly let people go back to the house first and order them to go down, pack up well, let them pack up An Lang and Rong Niang's belongings and send them back to Lanyuan, and raise grandma to go to Lanyuan to live with them, and send someone to send news to the palace if there is anything." ”
The maid whispered with some concern: "It's just that Rong Niang only suffered from the cold two days ago and coughed, if she moved the yard this time, I'm afraid that ......."
Duchess Wei's face fell, she lost her joy before, and was a little displeased: "I'm not a medical officer, even if I stay in the mansion, I can't cure her, so let's ask the medical officer to take a good look again." ”
The maidservant didn't dare to say more, so she answered softly and gave orders.
It's just that when she got to the bottom of the jade steps, she saw a palace car stop in front of her, and Concubine De was holding the hand of the palace maid to get down from the carriage, and when she saw her, she immediately laughed, and stepped forward and said: "The Duchess of Wei has entered the palace, why is she leaving now?" ”
When the Duchess of Wei saw her, she was a little restrained, and bowed down and responded gently: "There are other things, go back to the house first." ”
Concubine De hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Madame is too polite, I have to enter the palace often to sit and talk, and talk to the queen of heaven, but the lady is looking forward to Mrs. entering the palace." ”
Duchess Wei answered, but her eyes still didn't dare to look at Concubine De, and said softly: "There is still something in the house, I will go out of the palace first." ”
Concubine De nodded, smiled and watched the Duchess of Wei hurriedly walk past her with her head down, helped the maidservant to get into the palace car, and hurriedly drove onto the palace road.
Watching the palace car walk away, Concubine De retracted her gaze, smiled faintly and said to the palace maid beside her: "Let's go, go and say hello to the queen of heaven." ”
The palace maid bit her lip and said softly: "But last time, ......"
Concubine De looked at her, smiled softly, shook her head, and the palace maid hurriedly closed her mouth, quietly retreated behind Concubine De, didn't dare to speak again, and followed Concubine De to the Manna Palace.
“…… The Daming Palace has been repaired, the pavilions and pavilions are newly painted, and the flowers and trees have been sent over, just waiting for the Chongyang Festival banquet. Concubine De said with a smile, "It's just that the furnishings of the palaces and concubines are not accurate after all, I am afraid that I will have to work for the mother to go over and take a look, after all, it is not a trivial matter, if it does not meet the eyes of the saint and the mother, it is the sin of the concubine." ”
The queen of heaven nodded: "In two days, you can go to Daming Palace with me, after all, it is a major event to move the palace, and you can't be confused." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Mingzhu, who had been lowering her head and saying nothing: "Mingzhu will also come with me." ”
In her gaze, Gu Mingzhu raised her head slightly, with surprise in her eyes, but she didn't ask questions, nor was she happy, she just owed: "Yes." ”
The queen of heaven's eyes softened a little, turned her head with a smile, and then said to Concubine De: "Have all the people who followed the Chongyang Festival banquet to Daming Palace have been selected?" Mo Zhaorong came over to tell me yesterday, she was afraid that she couldn't go with her, her body was ......"
Saying that, the queen of heaven sighed: "I thought that she was young, and she was a saint at the beginning, and she would definitely be able to blossom and bear fruit, and add more children and blessings to the saint, but I never thought that she had such a disease, and now she can only raise it...... Looking at her appearance, I feel uncomfortable too......"
As he spoke, he sighed again, with some pity on his face.
Concubine De sighed and said softly: "The concubine is also hanging her heart for Mo Zhaorong, she is only in her twenties, she looks good, and she will suffer from heart palpitations when she is born, which is really a pity." ”
"It's just that Niangniang still doesn't have to be too sad, Mo Zhaorong is a blessed person, and he will get better if he thinks about it, not to mention that there are still so many people in the palace, and they are all outstanding, and there will always be more."
The queen nodded: "That's right, Sun Baolin is not a saint who is valued, although he speaks stronger, but his temperament is smart, not to mention the saint, even I like it when I look at it." ”
Concubine De pursed her lips and smiled: "In the past, she was likable in the Yanjia Hall of the concubine, but now even the queen of heaven looks at her well, so it can be seen that the concubine has never been mistaken." ”
Gu Mingzhu sat there, listening to the concubine talking kindly, but her heart became colder and colder, she seemed to be harmonious in the palace in the past two days since she entered the palace, but she was afraid that under the calm deep water, there were turbulent undercurrents and whirlpools.
