Gu Chaorong lives in the Chengqian Palace of the West Sixth Palace, and in the Twelve Palaces of the Inner Court, whether it is the top or the best, the wonder is that the emperor lives in the Jingren Palace in front of her, but the queen lives in the Chuxiu Palace of the East Sixth Palace. The place where the queen mother lives is even more interesting, she lives in Kunning Palace, since Xizhao 264 when she was named queen, she has been living in Kunning Palace, the first emperor was funeral, and she did not move the palace.

When Mrs. Gu told Gu Xiyan about this, her expression was also a little unnatural, and she believed that the rumors about the Queen Mother had not been interrupted in the past few decades.

This is also a kind of ability!

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The two of them were led through the thresholds by the small yellow gate, and finally arrived at the Chengqian Palace.

Although Gu Xiyan has only been to the Forbidden City once, he has seen a lot of it on TV, and he does not squint in order not to give people a sense of frivolity.

In fact, Gu Xiyan was very nervous. The red walls and blue tiles, the silent long alleys, the silent palace maids, and the small yellow doors with low eyebrows seem to remind Gu Xiyan from time to time that this is the highest authority in the Xia Kingdom, the highest superstructure in the Xia Kingdom, and there is the woman who can make the world tremble with a sneeze in the Kunning Palace not far away...... That kind of mood is like making people tremble in front of a tiger who is about to take a nap.

Chengqian Palace is a two-entry courtyard, and Gu Chaorong lives here alone. The main hall of the front yard is the Chengqian Palace, the face is wide and five, the yellow glazed tile rest mountain style top building, and the eaves corner is placed to walk the beast five. There are five main halls in the backyard, the bright room is open, and there are three matching halls in the east and west. The female official of the Chengqian Palace led them to the backyard and told them that the imperial concubine Niangniang received them in the palace on the east side.

The two of them stood on the platform outside the matching hall and straightened their clothes, and then followed the female official into the matching hall with low eyebrows.

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to look up, followed Mrs. Gu and looked down at Mrs. Gu's skirt, and could only see the cyan bricks in the matching hall and a large red square carpet woven with peony flowers the size of a bowl.

The female officer led them to the center of the carpet and stood up, and Gu Xiyan followed behind Mrs. Gu and knelt on the ground according to the posture taught by Cui Baoyi to give a big salute. After the ceremony was completed, Gu Xiyan heard a crisp and pleasant voice and said lightly, "No courtesy", and Mrs. Gu said "Xie Niangniang", and then led Gu Xiyan to get up and stand up.

The room was quiet, and no one made a sound for a long time, only the sound of the pendulum "ticking" was heard, which made people panic.

Gu Xiyan felt a gaze looking at her coldly, she knew that this must be the imperial concubine Gu Chaorong, her tense heartstrings tightened a few times, but her face showed more and more humility and deference.

After a long while, she heard Gu Chaorong say lightly, "Give a seat, serve tea."

Someone next to him immediately brought two embroidered piers beside Mrs. Gu and Gu Xiyan, Mrs. Gu bent her knees and said "Xie Niangniang" before sitting down, Gu Xiyan followed Mrs. Gu and made movements, although it was a little slow, but it was not rude.

After the two sat down, the palace maids came up with tea, and Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to take the tea cup and secretly glanced at it, only then did he see Gu Chaorong's appearance clearly.

Gu Chaorong is about the same height as her, probably because of her age, her curves are more exquisite than her, melon seed face, big eyes, delicate facial features, a black and shiny green silk is very casually rolled into a bun, with a tourmaline hairpin, she is wearing a light purple armor, inside is a pink placket, sitting on a purple purlin bed with mica inlaid in the shape of a mountain, looking leisurely and calm, like the sunshine sprinkled in the atrium in spring, with a drunken warmth and laziness, she is a peerless beauty with excellent temperament and appearance. Behind her, there were also six palace maids in blue Chu costumes, fanning her around.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Xiyan took a sip of tea symbolically, and Mrs. Gu took the lead in speaking: "Some time ago, the second girl had chickenpox, which made the mother worry. Now that it's all right, I'm here to say hello to Niangniang, thank Niangniang for the grace of medicine. ”

Gu Chaorong smiled faintly after hearing this, and his smile was very gentle: "Mother doesn't have to be polite, look at it like this, the chickenpox is all cured?" ”

Mrs. Gu replied respectfully: "Yes, I am here to report my mother's safety." ”

Gu Chaorong waited for Mrs. Gu to finish speaking, and immediately beckoned to Gu Xiyan with a smile: "Come, come to my sister." I haven't seen you for several years, it's really the eighteenth change of the female university, and I don't even know the change. ”

Gu Xiyan walked up to Gu Chaorong respectfully, Gu Chaorong looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Baoyi said that you learned very hard from her, so it's fine." Baoyi is well-informed, knowledgeable, and proficient in etiquette, you have to follow her to learn well. ”

Gu Xiyan replied with respect and enthusiasm like a boss: "Thank you for your concern, I will definitely follow Aunt Cui to learn my skills." ”

As soon as her words fell, a palace maid next to her shouted: "In front of the mother, what yours, mine, to say slave!" ”

Gu Xiyan listened to it with black lines, but her mouth replied kindly: "What my sister taught me is that the slave and maid know!" ”

The palace maid blushed and said dissatisfiedly: "You ......"

Gu Chaorong grinned, the light was shining, but it had an innocent taste, which made people's hearts pound.

Mrs. Gu stood up in a panic, and said repeatedly: "The concubine has no way to teach her daughter, and she has embarrassed her mother." ”

Gu Xiyan's face was full of confusion, and he didn't know where he was wrong.

Gu Chaorong smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, she grew up in Shuzhou since she was a child, I'm afraid that she is used to it, and her mother and Lan Ying don't have to take it to heart." "Very pleasant look.

Gu Xiyan muttered in her heart, how could she feel that Gu Chaorong's gaze was cold just now!

Gu Chaorong asked Mrs. Gu about Gu Panxi's studies again, and knew that Gu Panxi was taken back to Gu's mansion, so he frowned slightly and said: "If you want to talk about the academy, there is no one that can compare to the Songgul Academy in Jiangnan, let's go back to Jiangnan in a few days, and there is his grandfather to take care of ...... over there."

Mrs. Gu replied "yes" as if she was very reluctant, Gu Xiyan thought of Gu Panxi's red face, black eyes as bright as obsidian, and thought of Master Gu's hobbies and Guiguan talking about his childhood, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Chaorong's slightly thoughtful gaze.

In the flint lightning, Gu Xiyan suddenly understood that Gu Chaorong knew about Master Gu's dirty things, so he sent Gu Xiyan away, so he sent Gu Panxi away......

Gu Xiyan's heart was filled with astringent bitterness.

How old was Gu Chaorong at that time, thirteen or fourteen years old, did she encounter these things when she was a child, and at that time, did anyone help her like Gu Panxi......

Gu Xiyan's eyes were slightly moist.

At this moment, Gu Xiyan changed her mind, she decided to speak her mind honestly, like all sisters to sisters, instead of treating an opponent like she used at the negotiation table to tempt, lure and even coerce Gu Chaorong.

Everyone chatted a few more words, Mrs. Gu very pragmatically proposed to go to the official room, that is, to go to the toilet, and the palace maids in the house cleverly surrounded Mrs. Gu to go out, leaving only the two Gu sisters in the house.

As soon as the person left, Gu Chaorong immediately made a straight face, looked at Gu Xiyan with a cold face, and said coldly: "Yes, now I will play with my sister, I can get chickenpox whenever I want, Duan Niang taught you well!" ”

Gu Xiyan heard her words with anger in her words, stepped forward and knelt down on Gu Chaorong's knees in a few steps, and asked fearlessly, "Sister, why do you want me to enter the palace?" ”

Gu Chaorong was stunned.

Gu Xiyan didn't wait for her to answer, and said: "If my sister is for Xiyan's lifelong happiness, then she should be the master to find a good-looking and well-behaved Langjun for Xiyan, so that Xiyan can live in her mother-in-law's house in the name of her sister; If my sister is looking for a good helper, in my opinion, whether it is to marry the emperor or the prince, it is not a foolproof solution. ”

Gu Chaorong didn't squeak, his eyes looked at Gu Xiyan faintly, like an ancient well that has not changed for thousands of years.

If he hadn't wanted to talk about it honestly and unfairly, Gu Chaorong should have blamed her fiercely at this time, instead of looking at her with such an ambiguous gaze.

Gu Xiyan had an idea in her heart, and she became more and more calm, she looked at Gu Chaorong with a warm smile, waiting for her to take it.

After a long time, Gu Chaorong sighed and said, "You haven't seen the prince, have you?" Although he is a nobleman, he is outstanding in appearance, knowledgeable, noble, proficient in piano, chess, and books, and good at archery and horseback. Where are you going to find such a wishful man......"

In other words, Gu Chaorong disguised himself and admitted that the purpose of asking Gu Xiyan to enter the palace was to find a wishful husband for Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan was really a little surprised.

Could it be that Gu Chaorong is really such a simple person, and he really only has such a simple thought...... She felt a faint disbelief in her heart......

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but widen her eyes to look at Gu Chaorong, hoping to find something from her expression or tone.

But she was disappointed, Gu Chaorong's demeanor was calm, and there was pity in his eyes, as if he really had such an idea.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile on his face.

There may really not be so many ghost tricks in the world, isn't there a saying that there are no ghosts in the world, because the heart is empty, so there are ghosts!

Gu Xiyan knelt on Gu Chaorong's knees, like a wronged child, and said his worries during this time: "Sister, I'm really afraid of entering the palace. My father has been an official for almost 20 years, good house, good horses, good food, good amusement, and is the famous 'four good sons' in Xia Kingdom, and his only younger brother Panxi is only six years old this year...... As for the Fang family, there is the Queen Mother presiding over the harem, and the external protégés and old friends are all over the court and the opposition, and in recent years, there have been young talents like Fang Shaoqing and Fang Shaochang, just like that, their family is not at ease, and they recognized the family tree of a six-year-old girl from the ninth room and sent it to Jiangnan Red Sleeve Academy to study...... Sister, I'm afraid...... The queen mother's body is also tough, the emperor is still in his prime, the prince is getting older, and our family has nothing to rely on. Sister, move and pull the whole body. You are the backbone of the family, this chess, but you have to think about how to go! ”

Gu Chaorong's pale red Dankou's Qianqian jade fingers trembled slightly.
