Chapter 207 Kinetic Qi

The snow was cold and biting on the cold night, Gu Bainiang lay on the ground, and she didn't hear the sound for a long time, if it weren't for the corner of her eyes to see that the pair of moire inlaid gold leather boots under the big clouds with black and blue faces and gold edges in front of her were still there, she would have thought that there was no one else here except herself.

"You think it's because of this?" A low-alcohol voice with a hint of coldness fell from his head.

Gu Bainiang didn't dare to answer, her thoughts turned, and she reached out and took out the recipe for the dragon and tiger soup written in advance from her sleeve.

Before she could make a move, a gust of wind swept in front of her, the snow creaked, and she looked up to see King Wenjun turn around and stride away.

"Palace...."Gu Banniang was stunned, she wanted to shout, and she was busy covering her mouth, just afraid of being heard by others.

King Wenjun's steps are very large, and the branches in the plum forest are spotted, and there is only one back left after three turns and two turns.

Gu Bainiang got up and chased after her skirt in small steps, but she didn't dare to shout loudly, but it was easy to see, and she hadn't said anything yet, so she left like this, this is counted....

"Your Highness...."She shouted in a low voice, bowing her head through a tree, and then looking up, she could no longer see the figure of King Wenjun.

The lights were faint, the snow was white, the flowers and trees were mixed together, and the laughter of the women was getting closer and closer.

Gu Banniang couldn't help but stand in place, feeling in a trance that Fang Cai was just her hallucination, and King Wenjun had never appeared at all.....

For a while, she was at a loss and didn't know where to go, the sky was getting later and later, the night breeze was cooler, and the residual snow on the plum branches was blowing, which couldn't help but make people shiver, and she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, and she bit her lower lip, and her tears were faintly about to fall out.

"Miss Gu...."A palace maid turned out from behind a few plum trees, carrying a lamp and smiling, "It's slippery here, please come here...."

Gu Bainiang sighed, bowed her head and thanked her, wrapped her cloak tightly and followed the palace maid.

Not far away, women in twos and threes are gathering in one place, pointing out the surrounding scenery and laughing.

"I forgot to see it, my shoes and feet were wet...," said a woman, turning her head and laughing when she noticed someone next to her.

"Me too...."Gu Banniang smiled, lifting her skirt slightly, letting her see that she was stained with mud and snow shoes.

"I'm washing it tonight, roast it on the smoker, and it will be dry tomorrow....." The woman laughed.

As they spoke, the female officers came over.

"It's not early, it's freezing, ladies go back and rest." The female officer at the head said with a smile.

Everyone responded yes and swayed away with the palace maid.

The second day's palace election was in the afternoon, the queen mother who had just recovered from her illness was very interested, and came over in person, the emperor had already lived in a simple place, since the princess had been decided, others were not in his heart, so he did not participate, and the queen took the harem concubines to sit with the queen mother.

And the prince, who was supposed to appear, did not come.

With the reading of the female official, one by one the women stepped forward to knock alone, the queen asked some customary questions, how old is it called someone, the queen mother was crooked on the brocade, just listening, and did not ask a word, the queen asked after asking, she would turn back to ask the queen mother, and the queen mother just nodded and waved her hand.

"Jiankang Gu Xiang of the Gu Clan...," the chamberlain preached sharply.

Gu Bainiang hurriedly lowered her head and walked forward quickly, kneeling down to pay homage, because of the nervousness of her body trembling slightly, in her previous life, she never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to meet the most noble woman in the world, the queen mother, the noble of the country, the mother of the world.

The queen still asked those few words, and Gu Bainiang lowered her head and answered.

"Your name is Gu Xiang....." The Queen Mother, who had never spoken, suddenly asked.

"Yes." Gu Banniang bowed her head and replied.

"Raise your head and I'll see...," the Queen Mother said, sitting up straight.

Gu Bainiang sighed lightly in her heart, raised her head according to her words, and her eyes were dazzling with jewels, she couldn't see what these nobles looked like, and of course she didn't dare to look at them directly.

Maybe it was because the Queen Mother spoke for the first time after she came in, and the concubines present all looked slightly moved, their eyes were thoughtful, and suddenly all their eyes turned over.

Today's sky is slightly dark, but the light in the hall is very good, it can be seen that the woman standing at the foot of the stairs is shallow, and her eyebrows are still beautiful, but her posture is in this hall, even inferior to the palace maids standing on both sides, and the familiar concubines can't help but glance at each other with a little surprise.

The moment Gu Banniang raised her head, her gaze faintly fell in the middle of the hall, opposite to a line of sight that seemed to come from the clouds, this kind of gaze was condescending, with heavy coercion, Gu Baniang hurriedly looked away.

"Well...."Listening to the Queen Mother above, she hummed softly, and then said no more.

"Alright, let's go back." The queen said in a soft voice.

Gu Bainiang responded, kowtowed again, stood up, and slowly retreated to the queue.

The ten people soon finished meeting, the queen turned her head and whispered a few words to the queen mother, then turned to the girls and smiled: "Several of them are talented and good-looking, innocent family background, virtuous and virtuous, and the East Palace has just begun, so they need to add some peace and popularity, so they all stayed." ”

As soon as the words came out, all the women except Gu Bainiang were pleasantly surprised, and they knelt down to thank them.

After a few more words, the queen ordered them to go home, and after the moon, they chose an auspicious day and divided the grades.

As the women, who could no longer hide their joy, walked out of the palace, the chariots and horses of each family were already waiting outside.

"Miss...."Lingbao was happy and excited, but he didn't dare to raise his voice, and beckoned and shouted.

"Congratulations, Miss....", the eunuch who led the way said respectfully.

Gu Bainiang nodded, looked back at the majestic and solemn palace, and got into the carriage with Lingbao's hand.

The waiter who led the way watched the carriage rumble away with a slight trepidation.

"Hey, how much did you win?" The other guide attendants next to him came over, bumped him with their arms, and asked with a low laugh.

The chamberlain shook his head and sneered, and threw his hand at everyone, "Yes, I met a mallet.....

There was already news from the royal chamberlain at home, the door of the house was wide open, Cao Shi was dressed in formal clothes, leading a group of servants to stand at the door to greet him, and the neighbors around him gathered around the street to watch the excitement, with a look of envy.

"Eighteen Niang...."Seeing Gu Eighteen Niang's carriage stop, Cao Shi hurriedly wiped away his tears and took it with a smile, but saw that his daughter looked solemn and did not see the slightest joy, she must be tired.

"Congratulations...."Seeing Gu Bainiang enter the door, the servants knelt on the ground and called loudly.

Gu Bainiang was even more upset, waved her hand impatiently, said Let's get up, walked quickly to the house, and said perfunctorily that she was tired and rested for a moment, and then closed the door and did not come out.

Cao Shi was slightly stunned and looked at Lingbao.

Lingbao shook his head, signaling that he didn't know.

"Eighteen Niang chose a seat, I haven't slept well in the past two days....." Cao Shi Sifu said for a moment, while instructing his subordinates to prepare hot water and meals to send over, while busy writing a letter to Gu Hai.

Entering the East Palace is not an ordinary marriage, Gu Hai, the eldest brother, would be good if he could rush back, counting the days, Gu Hai will definitely be able to rush back when the time comes.

The news spread quickly, and the sound of firecrackers sounded in the alley of Jiankang Gujia for half a day, which only caused the entire Jiankang City to look sideways.

The Gu family is about to give birth to a mother, this is a great blessing from the ancestors.

"It's ridiculous" Mrs. Shen San slapped the table, and the shocked teacup shook.

"Madam, this must be the Ministry of Rites taking a bribe," the servant woman on the side immediately said, "That girl is not very rich?" You must have bought off the selection officials, ma'am, why don't you give the queen a discount, so as not to let such sluts defile the court."

As a decreed woman, there is a grade and naturally has the corresponding authority, one of which is that the identity of the maiden can appeal to the queen's mother.

Before the servant woman finished speaking, she heard a clear snap.

Mrs. Shen raised her hand and slapped the servant woman in the face, and the servant's face suddenly turned purple.

"Ma'am?" The servant woman was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, not knowing how she had made a mistake in her ass.

"You're as stupid as you are in the court?" Mrs. Shen San said with a heavy face, "Do you think that if you have money, you can block everyone's mouths?" Do you think that the people in the palace are easy to fool? Is that a place full of people? You actually want me to go up to the fold to talk about that girl's cheap status, do you want me to slap the royal in the face? People pretend not to see it and don't know, you asked me to jump out and make it clear that I slapped someone in the face, can I still have a good life? You idiot, you want to cause trouble for our Shen family, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

The servant woman was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave is wrong, the slave is stupid." ”

"Get out," Mrs. Shen shouted.

The servant woman hurriedly knelt down and went out.

"Stop." Mrs. Shen suddenly shouted again.

The servant woman was so frightened that she turned back on the spot, trembling all over, now Mrs. Shen San is more powerful than before, especially her own son, that is, the second son of Shen San's grandfather, was favored by Shen Guo's grandfather in the capital, stayed in the capital, and raised him personally, and it is said that the wife of the grandfather of the country also liked this child very much, and personally told him about the family business, this family business is very high, everyone said that since the princess and wife of the country dared to ask for this family business, it was obviously intended for Shen Andong to inherit the heir.

"This girl, she was originally married to us, but then our Young Master Lin injured his leg, and people didn't have this mind....Now fly on the branch and become a phoenix..... alas, I just pity our Young Master Lin for being dumb and eating Coptis chinensis...."Third Mrs. Shen said slowly, while holding the teacup.

The servant woman was stunned for a moment, but then she understood, and her swollen face was full of smiles.

"It's not...."She said with a smile, being glanced at by Mrs. Shen, busy and crying, "My poor Young Master Lin ....."

"Let's go out, speaking of which, our Young Master Lin will go to the border as soon as he recovers from his serious illness, it's really bitter haha....." Third Lady Shen sighed and said, "Go, prepare some health and qi replenishment for Young Master Lin, I don't know what it will be." ”

"Madam, don't worry, the old slave promises to make good arrangements," said the servant woman with a smile.

Mrs. Shen San hummed and ate tea with a cup.

Then the servant woman realized that there was no command, and got up and went out in a hurry.

Jiankang will stir up a burst of gossip about the new nobles of the Gu family, and at this time, the lord of Baiyu County of Pingyang Houfu in the capital is furious.

"I don't even care about the Queen Mother, I don't even care about the Queen Mother" She crackled and ripped off the tablecloth, the teacup shattered all over the ground, and the maids around her knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak.

"This, this," she screamed.

"My county lord" An old and rich servant woman walked forward quickly, wiping the tears on her face with a handkerchief, full of pampering, "It's just a cheap maid, how can it be worth being so angry?" ”

"I'm going to find the Queen Mother" The lord of Baiyu saw this servant woman, tears rolled down, "Nurse, I haven't gotten married yet, he bullied me like this..... I can't swallow this breath....."

"My lord of the county, you are wrong," the servant woman stretched out her hand to hold her, and said in a deep voice, "If you do this, it will be really a bitter enemy of your relatives."
