Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Little Episode in Fengzhang's Palace
Immediately, as if comforting Gu Qingwan, he held her hand and said, "But don't worry too much, today is the Six Dynasties Festival, she should be able to weigh the weight and not embarrass you too much." Good boy, if the queen embarrasses you later, you must hold back, don't resist it, otherwise it will only be you who will suffer. ”
Gu Qingwan's cold heart seemed to have a warm current that eased, the reputation of the original owner was not good, she had lived alone for so many years, and no one wanted to get close to her. Now this Chen Hanyan is still the first person she came to this other world to really think about her.
Although she has never been a person who can forbear, she still looked at Chen Hanyan gratefully and said, "Aunt Han, don't worry, Bang'er knows." ”
Although Chen Hanyan is worried, if the queen deliberately makes things difficult, she has no choice. Looking at Gu Qingwan with a straight back, a trace of relief flashed in Chen Hanyan's eyes, looking at Gu Qingwan who was so confident, she was much more relieved.
"Mother." Suddenly, a gentle and pleasant voice came from behind Chen Hanyan and Gu Qingwan.
When the two turned around, they saw a beautiful woman dressed in moonlight white and wearing a golden phoenix hairpin walking towards them with a shallow smile on her face, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a halo, noble and elegant.
Chen Hanyan looked at the visitor in surprise and said, "Qingwu, why are you here?" Didn't you come to Fengzhang Palace to ask for peace? ”
"My daughter-in-law is also entrusted by others, so I have to come." Although the woman was answering Chen Hanyan's words, her bright and smiling eyes winked playfully at Gu Qingwan.
Chen Hanyan looked at Qin Qingwu inexplicably, and Gu Qingwan was also a little confused.
But looking at the dress of the visitor, Gu Qingwan knew that her identity was definitely not simple. Although she is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, she wears a golden phoenix hairpin that only queens and princesses can wear, and it is also an occasion where several countries are present at the Six Dynasties Festival, Chen Hanyan does not feel inappropriate. Gu Qingwan secretly thought that it should be the princess in the palace who married the Xie family.
When the three of them entered the main hall of Fengzhang Palace, the queen had not yet come, and the ladies were talking in twos and threes. Chen Hanyan and Qin Qingwu were also surrounded by many people, most of whom were flattering. After all, Xie Heng, the head of the Xie family, is an important minister of the Military Aircraft Department, Chen Hanyan's son, and Xie Yan, the Zhilan Yushu of the Xie family, is also a waiter of the Zhengsi Rank Ministry of Industry, which is equivalent to the important confidential events and important decisions of the entire court will pass through the hands of this father and son.
It's no wonder that these people are all vying to tie up with Chen Hanyan and them, squeezing Gu Qingwan far away, but there are very few people around the Zhou family.
"The Queen Mother has arrived." A shrill voice came. Everyone kowtowed to the queen who entered the entrance, and said in unison, "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Of course, Gu Qingwan was not included among the kneeling people. Gu Qingwan is really not used to this kind of kneeling and worshipping scene, there is no such rule in the 21st century, she has never knelt to anyone since she was a child, not to mention, now she actually has to kneel with Queen Zhou, who may embarrass herself. This is unacceptable to the arrogant Gu Qingwan.
Gu Qingwan raised his head, and suddenly saw that there was a person who did not kneel like himself, and his posture was calm. That was Chen Hanyan's daughter-in-law, the beautiful woman just now, who only bent her knees gently to the queen.
At this moment, the beautiful woman was also looking at her, and her smiling eyes revealed a touch of appreciation.
After Empress Zhou sat down on the main seat, she asked someone to get up. When everyone got up, they found that Gu Qingwan was still standing stunned, and couldn't help but snort lightly: "Sure enough, there is a mother who is not raised, and I don't understand the rules and etiquette at all." ”
Grandma Sun beside Queen Zhou scolded loudly: "Boldly Gu Qingwan, don't you kneel when you see the queen?" ”
Gu Qingwan looked at Queen Zhou, and said nonchalantly: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers have been unwell since they were young, so no one teaches etiquette. ”
"Presumptuous. Since no one has taught you the rules, this palace will teach you well today. Queen Zhou's phoenix eyes glared slightly, and commanded quite majestically: "Come here, give the palace a palm." ”
Zhou watched all this happen coldly, with a smug smile on his face, and Gu Yan also gloated and waited for Gu Qingwan to be punished.
The palace maid in Fengzhang Palace immediately came up and wanted to hold Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan was about to resist, when she heard a crisp voice and smiled, "What's wrong with the queen today?" Why is he so angry, isn't it because Qingwu is uninvited and unhappy? ”
Empress Zhou instantly regained her graceful posture, and said angrily to Qin Qingwu: "The county lord didn't notice me when he came, and I really didn't have the queen's aunt in my eyes." The county lord doesn't have to worry about this matter, the palace just wants to teach her the rules, so as not to be embarrassed in front of the envoys of other countries at the banquet. ”
"The queen's words are not right, according to Qing Wu's opinion, Miss Gu Er is kind by nature, smart and alert, if she teaches well, she will definitely know how to read and reason in time." Qin Qingwu smiled at the corner of her mouth and looked at Queen Zhou.
Gu Qingwan still stood there calmly, as if they were not talking about her. But she didn't know that her expression didn't take her seriously in the eyes of the queen.
The queen was unrelenting, and when she heard Qin Qingwu praising Gu Qingwan, she couldn't get used to Gu Qingwan's villainous expression, so she said, "The county lord also saw her posture of having no one in her eyes." If the palace can still be left to her, this harem will not have to do the same in the future? After speaking, he glanced at Grandma Sun.
Mama Sun walked towards Gu Qingwan with understanding, and raised her hand to fan Gu Qingwan's face.
Qin Qingwu originally wanted to speak, but when she saw Gu Qingwan's mocking eyes, she suddenly wanted to know what Gu Qingwan would do next, so she kept silent and waited for Gu Qingwan to resolve the crisis by herself.
Gu Qingwan looked at Mama Sun who was approaching, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, and she shot the silver needle prepared in her hand to Mama Sun's leg with lightning speed, and Mama Sun suddenly knelt in front of Gu Qingwan with a "snap".
The air in Fengzhang's palace suddenly became eerily quiet...
Gu Qingwan looked at Grandma Sun kneeling on the ground with pity, "Grandma Sun doesn't want to be like this, Bang'er can't afford it." ”
This incident made the queen so angry that her mouth was crooked, "Grandma Sun, what are you doing?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
Mama Sun sat on her knees on the ground, covering her knees with her hands, looking pained: "Niangniang, the old slave can't get up!" Somehow happened in my right leg, it suddenly hurt a lot. ”
The queen looked at Mama Sun angrily, raised her hand and asked the two palace maids to take Mama Sun down, her phoenix eyes were full of anger, and she looked at Gu Qingwan with hatred.
But Gu Qingwan looked like "I am innocent", and the queen was so angry that her face was crooked.
Qin Qingwu has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has long noticed Gu Qingwan's small movements, and the smile on her lips deepened, Chen'er is right, this girl is indeed interesting.
With the change of Mama Sun, Queen Zhou's arrogance was obviously three points shorter, staring at Gu Qingwan without speaking, the atmosphere in Fengzhang's palace suddenly froze. Everyone couldn't help but look at Gu Qingwan worriedly, knowing in their hearts that this was because the queen wanted to be angry for the Zhou family and Gu Yan, so she would deliberately embarrass Gu Qingwan. Otherwise, how could she be worth the value of a queen and deal with a well-known waste?
Gu Qingwan let out a long sigh in her heart, what does it matter to her? I'm just a tooth for a tooth! How? Could it be that she still licked her face and begged them to calculate her?
"The queen has to think twice, today is the big day of the Six Dynasties Festival, if the courtier's face is not good-looking, the emperor and the queen's face will be dull." Gu Qingwan's cold voice came, "Of course, the one who knows is the queen of the Dao mother, who cares about the courtiers, and those who don't know think it's the queen's mother's personal vendetta!" ”
"You..."
Gu Qingwan looked at the queen who was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and she sneered in her heart. Looking at Qin Qingwu who was standing aside with a light smile, frowning and thinking, she saw that Queen Zhou was courteous to her, and called 'County Lord' again and again, and also claimed to be her aunt...
What is this relationship? Who is this Qin Qingwu? Gu Qingwan lowered his head and pondered.
~! ~ Gu Qingwan suddenly thought of something! That's right, her surname is Qin, and she is the county lord, and she is also called Queen Zhou's aunt according to her generation, and the black-bellied man told her that his mother is the current emperor's sister, Princess Youning, and that man is also surnamed Qin. Yes, this county lord who is helping to relieve himself in front of him should be Qin Mochen's own sister, the county lord of the Qin Wangfu in Mobei!
Qin Qingwu said just now that she was entrusted by someone, could it be Qin Mochen, she knew that Queen Zhou would embarrass her today, and specially brought her sister to relieve herself?
A strange feeling quietly flowed through Gu Qingwan's heart.
Before the small fight in Fengzhang Palace ended, a father-in-law came to report with a duck throat and asked everyone to go to Zhengyang Hall to participate in the palace banquet.
Empress Zhou seemed to have found the bottom of the steps, and immediately got up and led everyone to the main hall, and when she walked to Gu Qingwan's side, she glanced at her with disdain.
Qin Qingwu walked over and walked side by side with her, "Isn't Miss Gu Er worried?" ”
Gu Qingwan seemed puzzled, and said with an unchanged expression: "What are you worried about?" There are many people in this world who are not used to me, and she is not one of them! However, thank you for speaking for me today. ”
"Do you know who I am?" Qin Qingwu turned his head to look at her, "Hehe, that's right, you are so smart, you should have guessed it a long time ago." I thought I was still of some use, but when I saw Miss Gu Er's move, I realized that someone was thinking too much. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for me." Gu Qing smiled on his lips.
"No, no, he just eats all day long and has nothing to do, and he wants to toss me."
"Poof" Gu Qingwan laughed out loud all of a sudden. From Qin Qingwu's words, she could see that the relationship between the two sisters and brothers must be very good. It is generally said that they are the most ruthless emperors, but they seem to be an exception.
The palace banquet for the envoys was set up in the Zhengyang Palace, which was the size of two courts and could accommodate hundreds of people.
By the time Gu Qing arrived, many people had already come to the Zhengyang Palace, including some messengers, and everyone sat together in twos and threes and said happily.
"Hey, you're Sheng Jing's waste daughter who only chases men?"
