Chapter 21: Aunt Xide
Chapter 21: Aunt Xide
Gu Tingcheng had just left the Wanshou Palace, but a palace maid chased after him.
"Miss Gu, please stay, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi has invited Miss Gu to Yuxiu Palace for a gathering." The palace maid gasped slightly, and it could be seen that she was chasing quickly.
Great Wei is respected by Zuo, the harem concubine, and below the queen is Zuo Zhaoyi.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and Lu Zuo Zhaoyi have equal status, but after all, Lu Zuo Zhaoyi has the eighth prince, King Nan'an, and his power is not comparable to Feng Zuo Zhaoyi.
Left Zhaoyi is followed by right Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, full of ......
"Oh, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi?" Gu Qingcheng was thoughtful, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with my sister." ”
The nurse is really a prophet of the unknown.
Gu Qingcheng followed the palace maid to Yuxiu Palace, and on the way, the palace people and the inner supervisor of the imperial forest soldiers came and went.
As Gu Qingcheng walked, he silently remembered the path of the palace.
I was also thinking about how to prepare for the birthday party.
"What do you call my sister?" On the way, Gu Qingcheng asked.
"Miss Gu has tormented the slave maid, the slave maid is called Xia He, she is Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's personal maid, you can call the slave Xia He." Xia He owes himself.
Although the woman in front of her does not have any noble identity, she is the future princess of Nan'an, and her future is limitless.
Besides, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was invited, so she was naturally more polite and thoughtful.
"Okay, I'll call you Sister Xia He." Gu Qingcheng smiled.
Yuxiu Palace is not far from Wanshou Palace, after a few palaces, I didn't go far, and I arrived between talking and watching.
In the Northern Wei Palace, the positions of concubines and courtiers were all on the left.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and Lu Zuo Zhaoyi have the same position, both belong to Zuo Zhaoyi, and Zuo Zhaoyi is second only to the queen.
It is the living arrangement of Yuxiu Palace, and the specifications are equivalent to that of Zhongcui Palace of Luzuo Zhaoyi, and it is the same magnificent.
After Xia He invited Gu Tingcheng to enter Yuxiu Palace and sit down, he ordered the palace people to serve tea.
The tea is fragrant Biluochun.
Gu Tingcheng took a sip of tea, and remembered the first time he entered Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's Zhong Cui Palace, Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's domineering ......
She Lu Zuo Zhaoyi never imagined that she actually had her handle in her hand, right?
Although she was temporarily restrained by herself, how could she swallow that evil breath easily when she was so arrogant and invincible.
Once she gets what she wants, it may be her end.
While drinking tea, Gu Tingcheng pondered how to make the ancestor's birthday banquet perfect.
After drinking less than half a cup of tea, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi also rushed back from Wanshou Palace.
It seems that Gu Qingcheng has just left on her front foot, and she immediately left Wanshou Palace.
"Feng Zuo Zhaoyi, Niang Wan'an." Gu Tingcheng wanted to salute Feng Zuo Zhaoyi again.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi stretched out his hand to hold her, and said with a kind smile:
"Don't be polite, child, you have just saluted this palace."
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi looked at Gu Qingcheng carefully, his face seemed to be getting more and more excited, and he bowed slightly.
Only then did Gu Tingcheng have the opportunity to take a good look at the lady in front of him.
I saw Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's eyebrows, dignified and virtuous, and she was a beautiful and virtuous woman at first glance.
is not as charming and mean as Lu Zuo Zhaoyi, and not as unpredictable as Queen Helian.
She inexplicably gave birth to a close heart in her heart, as if she saw her own relatives.
It's like seeing an ancestor.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi reluctantly retreated from the palace, and intentionally or unintentionally asked Gu Qingcheng's age and the situation of his family.
"Child, it turns out that you have no mother since you were born, and your father has been throwing you in the countryside, and you have ignored you all these years, what a poor child."
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said, stretched out his fingers and gently brushed a few strands of hair on her sideburns.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's voice was gentle, and it was the best voice Gu Tingcheng had ever heard.
Gu Tingcheng thought to himself at the moment, would his mother's voice be so gentle and peaceful?
Gu Qingcheng saw Feng Zuo Zhaoyi caressing him like a loving mother, and somehow, the tears that he was holding back in the Wanshou Palace just now actually fell with a gurgling face.
"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi gently wiped Gu Qingcheng's tears.
"Allure lost his mother since he was a child and has been raised by a nurse.
The nurse is very good to Allure, comparable to the mother of Allure. But the nurse speaks and acts harshly, and belongs to the strict mother.
Since childhood, even if Allure falls, he must stand up alone.
Except for the old ancestor I just met, there was no one who spoke to Allure as gently and kindly as Feng Zuo Zhaoyi.
As soon as Allure's heart was hot, he ...... Can't help it. ”
"Good boy, you're suffering." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi also burst into tears, looking at Gu Qingcheng, a little hated to see each other late.
"It's not bitter to fall into the city, in fact, I know that the nurse loves me very much. It's just that the nurse speaks, not as gentle as the mother. ”
Gu Qingcheng sniffed, thinking of those relatives in Butterfly Valley, and a smile spread on her face again.
"You dragon spit pearl hairpin, thick and simple, old style.
Although the workmanship is fine, it is only suitable for elderly women.
Most young women don't like it, you bought it yourself? Feng Zuo Zhaoyi asked in a shallow voice.
"Hui Niangniang, it was not bought by Allure, it was handed over to Allure by the nurse when Allure came to Pingcheng." Gu Tingcheng looked at Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and said.
This dragon spit pearl hairpin really attracted Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's mother.
"You have a hairpin on your head, can you show it to this palace?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi asked with a slight smile.
"Absolutely."
Gu Tingcheng took the hairpin.
It is a bronze dragon head hairpin, the dragon's mouth spits a gold bead, the dragon head is thick, the other end of the hairpin is pointed and thin, the style is simple and old, lackluster.
This kind of hairpin is indeed only suitable for the elderly, not for a little girl's family.
Before going out, the nurse was very serious and solemnly told the city:
Be sure to find an opportunity to enter the palace, wear this dragon spit pearl hairpin, I heard that Feng Zuo Zhaoyi likes ancient things, if she says she likes it, she will give it to Feng Zuo Zhaoyi.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi got this dragon spit pearl hairpin, and he would help her.
No one else is allowed to give it, and the treasure is given only to those who know the goods.
Keep it safe, don't lose it!
So when she got the Guards waist card, she was so happy. With that waist card, she can enter the palace to see Feng Zuo Zhaoyi.
Gu Tingcheng handed the pearl hairpin to Feng Zuo Zhaoyi.
"Niangniang, take a look, do you like it?"
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi took it with some excitement, looked at it carefully, and looked at Gu Qingcheng seriously, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and his throat was almost choked:
"Hongu likes it tightly."
After all, I didn't hold back my tears, so I didn't wipe my tears with my face.
"Mother, I didn't expect my nurse to be a prophet.
She said that Feng Zuo Zhaoyi Niangniang would like this kind of quaint thing, and let Allure give it to Niangniang.
Allure is still worried that Zuo Zhaoyi will dislike it. ”
Although Gu Tingcheng faintly felt that Niangniang was too excited, he didn't think about it for a while.
Only when the mother sees the things she loves and is happy, she will cry with joy.
"If this palace gets a treasure, how can you dislike it."
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi put the dragon spit bead hairpin into his bun.
said gently: "After the palace, will I call you Allure?" ”
"It's the best, thank you." Gu Tingcheng was slightly blessed.
"Since Allure has given the palace a gift, the palace naturally wants to give the Allure gift back." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi smiled slightly, "Wait a minute, you can come to the palace." ”
After saying that, he entered the inner sanctum.
After entering the hall, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi couldn't wait to take off the dragon spit pearl hairpin on his head, and stroked the pearl hairpin, already in tears.
She held the dragon head of the pearl hairpin, turned left three times, turned right three times, and then pressed it up and down, the dragon head and the hairpin body were separated, and the inside was hollow.
She took out a silk silk as thin as a cicada's feather from within, her hands trembled, and she read it carefully, and couldn't help but feel sad and cried bitterly.
Gu Tingcheng has been trained by several masters since he was a child, and he is deaf and clear-sighted.
A person was waiting for the mother in the main hall, and he could faintly hear the sad voice from the inner hall, thinking about which palace maid had been wronged.
I can't help but sigh, it's really not easy to accompany the king, from the mother to the palace maid, you have to be careful.
Fortunately, Lu Zuo Zhaoyi did not take the marriage contract of the year to heart, and he only had a nominal baby for two years.
After about half a cup of tea, I saw Feng Zuo Zhaoyi coming out with two wooden boxes with exquisite workmanship.
The wooden box is a small boxy with red lacquer begonia flowers painted in boxwood, and the four corners are wrapped with brass.
Feng Zuozhaoyi's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had cried.
Could it be that the person who cried just now was Feng Zuo Zhaoyi?
How many women have buried their lives of happiness in this deep palace high court?
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi put the wooden box on a few cases, stroked Gu Qingcheng's cheek with all kinds of pity, and stopped talking in his mouth.
In the end, it seemed like a thousand words, turning into a sigh.
"Allure, there are no children in this palace in my life, there are no relatives in the palace, and I am very lonely.
This palace and you are familiar at first sight, I love you very much, I really want to recognize you as a righteous daughter.
Helplessly, the righteous daughter of this palace is His Majesty's princess, and this palace can't rashly admit her daughter. ”
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi lovingly pulled Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng was a little stunned and waited for Feng Zuo Zhaoyi to continue.
I saw Niangniang smiled again: "But if this palace recognizes a niece, you can call the shots."
The name of the palace is Aunt Feng, and after the city, it will be called Aunt of the palace. ”
Gu Qingcheng was so frightened that he immediately knelt down:
"Niangniang, how dare you trespass in the city.
Moreover, Allure heard that the low-level palace maid called the high-level palace maid her aunt.
In case someone misunderstands and thinks that Allure humiliates her mother and disrespects her mother, Allure will be guilty. ”
"Silly boy, how can this aunt be the same as his aunt." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi helped Gu Qingcheng up.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng's hesitation, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said again:
"That's it, in front of outsiders in the future, Allure will still be called the mother of the palace.
In private, if we are together, you will be called Aunt Bengong. ”
“…… Good. Gu Tingcheng's heart was even hotter, the heat rushed to his eyelids, and he shouted excitedly: "Auntie." ”
"My good boy." When Feng Zuo Zhaoyi heard Gu Qingcheng call her aunt, she was so excited that tears flowed into her eyes.
Gu Qingcheng said in his heart:
As soon as I entered the Houmen, it was as deep as the sea, and my aunt was so lonely that she would feel so nostalgic.
"My aunt was very happy to get the pearl hairpin of the city. My aunt also had a gift for Allure. ”
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi opened one of the wooden boxes and took out a set of golden step shakes.
I saw that the golden step shake craftsmanship is fine, the dragon and the phoenix are coiled, the golden silk is like turning, the flower branches are entangled, and the pearls and jade are embellished. There are bead drops on the hairpin head and tassel pendant, and when it moves slightly, the flower branches sway, and the beads tremble.
"This golden step, wearing it, the action is also shaken, and it is extremely delicate.
It was given to my aunt by His Majesty in the first year of her entry into the palace. ”
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi recalled the scene when His Majesty gave gold to shake the steps, more than ten years have passed, and it is no longer the feelings of the year.
"Auntie, since it is something given to my aunt by His Majesty, Allure does not dare to accept it.
Otherwise, Your Majesty will blame your aunt for not cherishing Your Majesty's affection, and blame the arrogance of the city. Gu Qingcheng said in fear.
"Since Your Majesty gave it to your aunt, it is naturally something that belongs to your aunt, and your Majesty will not mind who your aunt likes to give it to.
Come, my aunt put it on Allure. ”
Seeing Feng Zuo Zhaoyi like that, he couldn't wait to wear all the good things on Gu Tingcheng.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi put the golden step on Gu Tingcheng's head, looking at Gu Tingcheng with a flowery appearance, the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, and he sighed heartily:
"It's so beautiful, a woman in this world, I can't find it as beautiful as our city."
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi raised his voice again and shouted to the palace maids outside the hall: "You all come in." ”
Several palace maids came in and were stunned when they saw Feng Zuo Zhaoyi actually putting such a valuable golden step on Gu Qingcheng's head.
"Xia He, Qiu Yue, you all listen to this palace." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was gentle and gentle, with majesty.
The people in the palace were all seriously waiting for the mother's admonition.
"There are no children and no daughters in this palace, and the palace is lonely.
I love Allure at first sight.
Allure is like the nephew of the palace, and in the future, the palace will be the aunt of the city.
Everyone in Yuxiu Palace saw Gu Qingcheng as if they saw this palace, they must not slack off, and swear allegiance to the death, do you know? ”
"Obey the will of the mother." All the ladies knelt down together.
"Get up." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi is only then kind and pleasant.
"Niangniang, Miss Gu really looks like a fairy......" Xia He looked at Gu Qingcheng and said.
Xia He, the personal palace maid, took the lead in praising Gu Qingcheng, and several others also came up to serve.
The palace maids were all puzzled, this Gu Qingcheng was not only as beautiful as a flower, but also loved by Feng Zuo Zhaoyi in an instant.
I heard that she is still the future princess of Nan'an, she really had a good life, and God gave her all the good.
"Niangniang......" As soon as Gu Tingcheng opened his mouth to call Niangniang, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi pursed his lips and deliberately lowered his face.
Gu Tingcheng quickly changed his words:
"Auntie, Jin Buyao is so valuable, an ordinary courtier, not the princess and the princess, should not be qualified to wear this valuable ornament.
Moreover, it's too ostentatious, right? ”
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was stunned, as if he had just come back to his senses, and only then did he realize that he was indeed reckless.
Then he nodded and said: "My aunt is also overjoyed, and she is confused for a while, and she can't wait to dress my Allure as the most noble and beautiful."
Now Dai Jin is shaking, and he is indeed a little swaggering.
After the birthday of the ancestor, my aunt tried to find a way to ask for the seal of Allure.
You are the baby of King Nan'an, the future princess, think about it, Your Majesty also hopes that you have a good identity.
If you can ask for a county and township king, at that time, Allure can wear the best jewelry and become the most beautiful woman in the world.
Of course, even if Allure does not have beautiful beads, the natural beauty of Allure in this palace is also the most beautiful. ”
After Feng Zuo Zhaoyi finished speaking, he put Jin Buyan back into the wooden box.
Then he said: "This golden step is put away first, and these beads can be worn at any time." ”
So from another wooden box, he took out a few bead hairpins and put them on for Allure, which looked noble in purity.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi then instructed Xia He Qiuyue and other palace maids to follow Gu Qingcheng and help her host the birthday event.
Finally, he said: "Allure just rest assured, be bold, and if you need anything, my aunt will help you anytime and anywhere."
Lu Zuo Zhaoyi applied to His Majesty for 100,000 silver for a birthday banquet, which is obviously ill-intentioned, and is trying to make you mess up the birthday banquet.
If you really can't make ends meet, tell your aunt, and your aunt will take the money out in private and give you a subsidy. ”
"Auntie, don't worry, 100,000 silver, Allure feels that it is too much." Gu Qingcheng held Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and smiled happily.
"Children, the 80th birthday of the ancestors, congratulations from all directions, envoys from various countries, emperors and grandchildren, all of them are important figures, but they are not comparable to folk banquets. If you're not careful, you'll get into trouble. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi patted Gu Qingcheng's hand and said worriedly.
"Auntie will take care of her heart, Allure will definitely hold a good birthday banquet." Gu Tingcheng said, "If there is really a need, Allure will find my aunt." ”
"Come, you put away the gold medal for entering and exiting the palace in Yuxiu Palace, if you have anything, you must come to your aunt." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi repeatedly admonished.
"It's good for my aunt to be in Allure." Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but hug his aunt.
"Now Allure is my aunt's only relative, my aunt is not good to Allure, who else can be good." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said dotingly, gently patting Gu Qingcheng's back.
Yuxiu Palace laughed and was full of joy for a while.
When Gu Tingcheng wanted to leave, he turned around and said, "Auntie, there is really something to ask for right now." ”
"Allure, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said.
"Although Your Majesty asked Allure to preside over the birthday banquet, Allure has no place to stay in the palace. Arrange affairs for the palace people on a daily basis, and need a place for the time being......" Gu Qingcheng stopped talking, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's my aunt who is confused," before Gu Tingcheng finished speaking, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said softly, "Auntie will give the west hall of Yuxiu Palace to Allure City, and you will live in the west hall." ”
"That-you're welcome, you're welcome to disturb my aunt." Gu Qingcheng bowed and thanked Feng Zuo Zhaoyi again.
"Are you still polite to your aunt?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi smiled gently, "It just so happens that you are planning a birthday banquet for your ancestor and staying in the palace temporarily, which is also justified."
My aunt is thinking that Yuxiu Palace is deserted, and she can't find an excuse to keep you. ”
"You don't need to live in Allure, you just need to have a place to stay." Gu Qingcheng looked at Feng Zuo Zhaoyi gratefully.
What kind of good day is today, I have met nobles again and again when I go out.
Gu Tingcheng felt that even the air was sweet.
The nurse's prediction was also very accurate, and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi really helped herself wholeheartedly.
Gu Qingcheng's heart was blowing a warm spring breeze.
"Xia He, you take a few palace people, take care of everything in the West Palace, and serve Miss Allure to stay.
If you don't have enough people, come back to the palace to ask for someone. ”
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi ordered Xia He and the others to follow.
Gu Tingcheng thought that now was also the time to employ people, so he didn't push back, so he followed the palace maid to the west hall of Yuxiu Palace.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi stood at the gate of the palace, watching Gu Qingcheng leave, and the hot tears slid down again.
The unbearable past came to my heart one after another......
