Chapter 374: A Good Thing (Part 2)
It wasn't until the twilight of the day that Zhou Chuchu returned to the palace, with a smile on his face that did not dissipate, and sat in the carriage all the way back to the Splendid Hall.
The palace maids greeted her, untied her cloak, shook the snow on it, and brought hot water and towels up.
She wiped her hands with a hot towel and asked, "Did Yanjiadian still send someone here?" ”
She knew that Han Guifei was looking for her to discuss how to deal with the affairs of the queen of heaven, but now that she no longer planned to sink with the broken ship of Yanjiadian, but had already found a safe driftwood and landed ashore, naturally she would not go to see Han Guifei again, but would Han Guifei let her go easily?
Her face was a little gloomy.
The palace maid shook her head: "No, the concubine has never sent anyone to come again." ”
That's weird!
Zhou Chuchu was a little puzzled, frowned and sat down on the couch, could it be that Concubine Han Guifei was too busy to take care of herself, so she didn't care about it anymore?
She thought about it and threw it away, Concubine Han Guifei was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it was difficult to protect herself, what could she do with her, as long as she was by the side of the queen of heaven, she was afraid that she would not have a bright future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning, but there was one more Gu Mingzhu, if there was no Gu Mingzhu, everything would be smooth.
"Pei Lan, you ask people to inquire about the news, and see if the post from the Xianwang Mansion can be sent to the Ganlu Palace."
Fortunately, there is a stupid and vicious one who is willing to help her solve this problem, and she just needs to watch the excitement and wait.
Zhou Chuchu smiled and ordered people to come to the hot bird's nest, and even this cold snowy day became less annoying.
As she wished, the post from the Xianwang Mansion was delivered to the Manna Hall on time as promised.
Gu Mingzhu took the post and muttered for a long time without speaking, but the queen of heaven smiled and said: "You have never liked to move around with the clan, you are like me at a young age, you love to hide and be quiet, I'm afraid you want to shirk it again." ”
Gu Mingzhu chuckled: "Niangniang makes me embarrassed, I am lazy, and I am not good at socializing with others, so if I want to stay in the palace and serve Niangniang to accompany Her Royal Highness the princess, it is better to ......"
She said lightly, but her heart was heavy, the virtuous king Li Yu is not a good person, the previous marriage was not successful, Li Yu's heavy city government will definitely not give up easily, and there will be no moves, not to mention that the virtuous princess, although she has an innocent and harmless appearance on her face, but looking at Gu Mingzhu's eyes for some reason, there is always a gloomy color, which always makes people unwilling to get close to her.
Such two people posted a post to invite Gu Mingzhu to go to the Xianwang Mansion, Gu Mingzhu is not stupid, and he does not plan to associate with such a strange pair, so it is naturally good to push the idea.
It's just that the queen of heaven interrupted her words and said with a smile: "Princess Xian first came to Chang'an, and she is not familiar with the people in the noble mansion of the clan, and she is the same age as you, I will let Anping also go over, and you will also go to join in the fun, it is good for a few people of ordinary age to talk together, and you can't be confined to the palace every day." ”
Gu Mingzhu was a little surprised, she didn't expect the queen of heaven to ask about such a thing, and let her accompany Princess Anping to go over, is it really to make them closer to Princess Xian?
But......
She couldn't think about it, so she could only get up and bow: "Yes." ”
The queen smiled kindly and waved her hand: "Sit down, this is also because I am afraid that Princess Xian will be too lonely in Chang'an without relatives and for no reason, so I will let you go to the scene, don't blame me for being troublesome." ”
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly said that he didn't dare, so he returned to the couch and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, he heard Xu Siyan come in with a smile and said, "Gu Sanniang is here, waiting for Niangniang's orders outside the hall." ”
Mingyu? Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the queen of heaven, she had never heard that Gu Mingyu was going to enter the palace to meet her.
The queen of heaven said with a smile: "Let her come in, the wind and snow outside the hall are heavy, don't suffer from the cold." ”
Only then did he look at Gu Mingzhu and smile lightly: "You sisters haven't seen each other for a while, so I asked her to come into the palace to talk to you." ”
Gu Mingzhu had a grateful smile on his face, bowed down and thanked him, but sighed in his heart, no wonder he had asked people to go to the Xianwang Mansion to pass the edict and summon the Xianwang Li Mi into the palace, it had already been arranged.
Gu Mingyu timidly entered the Ganlu Palace, she was not Gu Mingzhu, she followed the female official into the palace all the way, and entered the hall alone, her face was already a little pale, her heart was pounding, and she was busy bowing when she saw the queen of heaven: "The mother is well, and the courtiers ask the mother to say goodbye." ”
The queen of heaven looked at Gu Mingyu trembling slightly and bowed to her, and suddenly remembered the situation when Gu Mingzhu was summoned to the palace for the first time, at that time, she was so calm and calm, it was really surprising, sure enough, there is only this one such woman, fortunately, there is only this one, the qualifications of other ladies in the Gu family are only ordinary, otherwise she would really be nerve-wracking.
She smiled and nodded: "Get up, go and sit down next to your sister, you sisters haven't seen each other for a while, I'm afraid I have something to say, and I don't have to be restrained, just rest assured." ”
Gu Mingyu lowered his head and sat down on the couch beside Gu Mingzhu, held Gu Mingzhu's hand with a little trembling, and said in a low voice: "Big sister......"
She was really afraid, she didn't know why she was summoned to the palace, and she had the attention of the queen of heaven, which made Gu Mingyu, who was the most inconspicuous among the Gu family ladies in the past, very worried, lest she did something wrong and broke the rules and affected her father and Gu Mingzhu, so she could only deal with it carefully.
Gu Mingzhu smiled gently, patted her hand, shook her head gently, and said, "Is the house good, how are my father and second uncle and second aunt?" ”
It's true, and it makes the queen purse her lips and smile deeper.
Gu Mingyu replied softly, and asked Gu Mingzhu cautiously: "Is the eldest sister okay?" A few days ago, my father was still thinking about asking people about the body of the big sister. ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled indifferently: "Okay." And he threw it away again, and spoke of it again.
The two sisters, you and I said a word, which eased Gu Mingyu's originally nervous expression a lot.
The queen of heaven has been looking at the newspaper, as if she didn't care about what the sisters said, but the eyes that were smiling slightly made people dare not ignore her existence, as if she was sitting there with majesty, which made people dare not look directly.
After speaking for a while, there were footsteps outside the hall, and Xu Siyan came in again and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Xian has come down." ”
The queen of heaven put down the newspaper in her hand and said with a smile: "It's me who is confused, I forgot to summon Gu Sanniang to the palace to meet me today, and I called San Lang again, sure enough, I am getting older, and my memory is getting worse and worse." ”
Gu Mingyu's expression, which had been gradually relaxed, suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly got up and bowed: "It's better for the courtiers to retire first......
Gu Mingzhu also wanted to speak, and asked her to take Gu Mingyu to the side hall to speak.
It's just that the next sentence of the queen of heaven made Gu Mingyu freeze on the spot: "It's okay, I'll let An Ping come over, and it's okay for you to talk to me in the palace together." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't look surprised, she just looked at Gu Mingyu with a little emotion, it was a beautiful thing, but she didn't know what Mingyu thought in her heart.
